Erging is rowing on an indoor rowing machine. They were originally called an "ergometer," which was then shortened down to just an "erg" over time.

It's a really great exercise, and pretty good training for rowing crew (though it's not quite like the real thing).
> I think the real problem is that SV doesn't really have any advanced, well developed urban infrastructure and commercial areas within a walk-able distance.

I agree that this is the main reason. Facebook in Menlo Park is similar. There's not much within walking distance and certainly nothing that could handle the scale of thousands of workers showing up.

Salesforce is a company that generally has taken a different approach. There are no cafeterias, but many of the main offices are in urban areas with plenty of nearby infrastructure.

How to Decide When It’s Time to Stop Designing and Start Coding
Wikia started out very differently. It became what it was slowly, over a long period of time.

Miraheze is now the preferred wiki host of community-driven sites, I hope that it will not eventually transform into Wikia/Fandom.

Many of the other “wiki” sites on the net are just rehosting GFDL content and slapping ads on them, then trying to SEO to get ahead of real wikis. Blame Google for not coming up with a good solution on that one, IMO.

That's not my problem. That's Apple's problem. There are solutions around this, and they made a choice to use the technology they did. End result is their product. These annoyances aren't because they have wireless headphones. It's because of the choices they made.

USA states make their own laws. Sometimes those laws are challenged as "unconstitional" and then the Supreme Court evaluates and maybe tells them to stop. Most of the time not though. They prefer to "leave it up to the states". The recent OSHA ruling (attempt at broad vaccine mandates for Americans) for instance. The Supreme Court said they can't do that.

>I don't see many reasons why a site owner would spend extraordinary amounts of time to "carefully craft" page titles

Because I want the title to be concise, but still help people explicitly understand what my writing is about? Because I've already spent a lot of time on the content, to then just slap 'Lou's Wednesday Website Update' as a title? Because, historically, a title is an introduction to my writing?

Any of those.
I don't understand why people keep asking this like some kind of magic bullet.

Obviously there is a governmental body that has the authority to do this wherever you are from. And in a democracy that governmental body will be acting based on the will of the people. Even if you disagree that the executive has that authority, the courts have the authority to interpret if they do. And the legislature ultimately has the authority to override it.

In the United States if we all voted for it we could have mandates for every single vaccine ever created. But there is barely enough political will for this one. And that's only because COVID is much more of a threat than anything else at the moment.
One word: inequality.

When people don't feel they are equals in society, the whole "for the benefit of all" sounds pretty cynical.

Also, some governments have a poor record for taking responsibility (e.g. looking after veterans), or making others take responsibility (DuPont), so the people who do come off worse don't necessarily expect to be taken care of.
I'm not going to comment whether it's more or less likely than in other cultures. My point wasn't to start a race war, I was just commenting that we have a history on such topics (eg https://www.ukessays.com/essays/history/rape-in-american-sla...)

Why can't I just choose what title I want in my blog to be indexed, and if Google wants to penalize it, so be it?

Ask HN: Do we need to worry about Russian troll farms here?
In the last few months, I've noticed a slew of accounts posting anti-vax messaging on any COVID-19 related articles. These accounts will be less than a week old, and you'll see that their only posts will have been the same anti-vax rhetoric.

Obviously everyone is entitled to their own opinion, even if it's one that I disagree with, hence why I do not want to link to these examples in fear that I'd be bringing hate on honest actors, but I was curious if anyone knew if HN was falling victim to the same attacks that Facebook is in regards to troll farms?

Irrelevant. If the new variants keep killing people in huge numbers, we'll keep seeing restrictions (assuming our governments are doing their jobs). If this happens for the next 100 years, we'll have to keep living with restrictions for the next 100 years; horrible as it is, it's better than the alternatives.

Part two would be a finding that cryptocurrencies are harmful to the interests of the USA.

Part three would be an order to the Secretary of the Treasury to determine what businesses are involved in cryptocurrencies, and to take the following sanctions: ...

prohibit any transfers of credit or payments between financial institutions, or by, through, or to any financial institution, to the extent that such transfers or payments are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and involve any interest of the sanctioned business;

prohibit any United States financial institution from making loans or providing credit to the sanctioned business;

(iv) prohibit any transactions in foreign exchange that are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and in which the sanctioned business has any interest;

(v) prohibit any United States person from investing in or purchasing significant amounts of equity or debt instruments of the sanctioned business;

I find that community groups that started before Facebook, or have avoid Facebook, have done better/do better.
With Facebook you get locked into using the platform and the group doesn't grow. In fact the group just get worse over time as original member leave. Content and group information is locked into the platform.

Even if a group just sticks to using email, it is better over the long term. People in the group are forced to take on responsibilities of maintaining the email list and content. Passing that information on as they leave.
You can also scale up the organization, make it more formal. Start collecting dues, and paying for server space. People take pride in their roles, and the organization.

Definitely Twitter slang to add emphasis. "This is not a drill" implies that people have been preparing a response and now is the time to execute it properly.
> Because you've combined two concerns, the amount of money people make, and what level of stratification is involved in making it.

The two concerns are linked. You only see widespread personal drivers and housekeepers and gardeners in less developed countries with many very poor people. Reducing the stratification by redistributing wealth via taxes and an education system is preferable mechanism of spreading opportunity.

The societies telesilla and Blahah are referring to are not ones where a housekeeper works 40 hour weeks Mon to Fri and gets PTO and has time to get a law degree in the evenings.

These places have housekeepers and drivers because they are not fortunate to be born in a society with enough of a public education system that allows them to escape that fate, even if it is just being an accountant for a rich person, at least they get vacations and decent work hours and schedules.

> isn't the point of page titles to be how a page is referenced

It is, but what would you do if all titles across pages just said "ACME Corp."? That happens often if the developer just displays SITE_NAME in the title.

In those cases it makes sense to present the person searching the web with additional information from a H1 tag which probably has more information like "Contact us"
Coup and Resistance, while both games of deception and social engineering, differ in how their deception plays out.

Coup’s deception is confrontational. On every turn you facedown an opponent and challenge them to a guessing game directly. The game relies on you deceiving others to perform actions optimally. If no one lies or no one confronts anyone’s lies, the game ends very quickly.

Resistance’s is less confrontational. Your goal is to evade detection and deceive the group as a whole. In addition, not everyone needs to lie. If you aren’t assigned the role of a spy, you are spared the act of deceiving the group.

I have found that this results in two polar opposites of player groups. A group of players who aren’t confrontational in nature find Coup lackluster because everyone just settles into an optimal or suboptimal strategy and the game ends without much fanfare.

Resistance on the other hand, bores players who want to challenge each other. Be dealt the wrong role and they find themselves just sitting around for 15 minutes. Yes the accusation and voting rounds provide some entertainment, but it just isn’t the same.

This is all anecdata of course. I like both games, and admittedly I might be stuck in some kind of local maxima due to my own personality and personal history defining the kind of people I play games with.

As a final parting thought: Coup with a mix of highly confrontational and pacifist players also never goes well either.

I'm not so sure about this. Call me a cynic, or even a Libertarian (gasp!) but it is generally not in the nature of government to wind down an apparatus that they paid so much for once "the threat" has passed. Now that governments have the infrastructure for requiring and/or showing proof of vaccination, it really isn't a stretch to think they will want to keep that system and have it be readily available for the next pandemic, whatever it may be.

I haven't got the chance yo try Sequel, on the ruby side I played more with plain ActiveRecord and querying layers like ransack (my predecessor on the job loved abstraction layers)

In general ORM queries become ugly at three to four levels of joins and/or excluding under non trivial conditions (e.g. finding users that have not participated to a specific set of events). They will spit out something that works, but will take a few orders of magnitude more than an optimized query.

As you say, there is the option to play jenga with the ORM code to hit the right combination that produces a better output. But that feels like teaching a toddler to solve a puzzle that you already solved and are keeping the cheat sheet in your pocket. I personally don't see the beauty of it and would prefer to directly use the right SQL and call it a day.

On people skilled in SQL, you should have a few onboard anyway if you're doing more than basic CRUD on the DB, and it's easier to find than ORM gurus IMHO.
Regardless of the body, the use of the word "interferes" is ridiculous. Just because the implementation consists of multiple layers doesn't mean any of those layers are automatically nefarious or not useful, or that somewhere between two of the layers are the "real" results.
What on earth are you blathering about?

Comparing armed police sent in to deal with possibly armed suspects... firefighters who get sent into infernos... with doctors.

The risks doctors normally face from one patient to another are identical, so it was nonsensical to say they were risking their life for a specific patient. Especially since we've known how to protect from _normal_ bloodborne and airborne pathogens for a long time. The difference is COVID had no vaccine and treatment was limited at the time, it was repeatedly a death sentence.

That's why COVID already forced a rethinking of how far we expect providers to go to save someone: https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCOUTCOMES.120.006...

There's a good reason you're not a doctor, let's leave it at that.
The point is that licenses and license offers are self-sufficient, a "clarification" from another document simply does not constitute a binding clause in a license.

If you have an offer of the MIT license from the author (as in the LICENSE.txt), then no clarifications or restrictions linked from the home page affect it, and other offers of other licenses are possible but not relevant if you like this particular offer.
But that's the point, we have a metric that politicians, economists and the media love to parade around as meaningful. The problem is it's not meaningful. It's crap.

This is up there with presenting Wall Street IS the economy (for the rest of us).

The 'People Make Games' videos discuss this: https://youtu.be/vTMF6xEiAaY?t=282

Essentially, Roblox has made the decision that they are only responsible for interactions that happen on their platform.

Parents may be letting their children develop games thinking that it's a cute hobby. Roblox knows that there are game companies wooing child devs and doing shady stuff that can be potentially harmful to them.

They are not doing anything to stop the practices because they aren't technically on their platform. But the whole interaction is around making games for their platform.

So they may potentially not be legally be at fault, but it does seem that they are making a lot of money, albeit indirectly, from turning a blind eye to companies extracting labor from young people, and in some cases abusing them.

As a parent who is a developer and has kids who love Roblox, I think it's important that the situation be discussed and not swept under the rug. I like the idea of being able to develop and extend and open world like Roblox. I also think that when you market to kids, you have to meet a higher bar of responsibility in protecting them.
