The former is allowed as stated (learning is not prohibited, so long as it's not involving active violence) in the U.S., the latter is not as it involves a physical and imminent threat.

But that's not an act of speech, that's an act of violence.

Anyways, sure, you will find exceptions to any rule if you look hard enough or strain the definition hard enough. Not really particularly interesting though.
I always start with, "The job posting mentioned $1M/year. I'm flexible, I'll work with you. I'll consider 50% of that."
So much of what you write down is necessarily opinion, because even your interpretation of what words the candidate said can color the interview a lot. Unless you have a stenography background, you are not going to keep up with the pace of both your and the candidates words and conduct an interview at the same time. You could use audio recording to have a direct transcript (or just submit the audio), but that would waste a lot of time.

If you ask a candidate, "How would you approach problem X", and the candidate says "I believe X is Y because A is B, so I'll approach it from this angle", you'll likely need to paraphrase. And even in that one sentence, you can paraphrase many different ways: "Candidate believes X is Y", "Candidate says A is B", "X is Y" "Candidate approached from angle Y"... All are color. Your bias seeps in in many ways. Paradoxically z the less attention you pay to it the more other people will be able to work around it, because they'll understand how you work.

I don't know about Marx, but that sounds closer to a comic book villain than a real person. And skimming through some search results, it looks like he heavily supported freedom of the press.
Funny enough, he was a little bitter about being down-leveled, but it looks like that was the right call.
I'm really pretty sure they did. In fact I'd go one step further and say a lot of Old and Middle Kingdom society WAS a peculiar kind of management theory. Those pyramids weren't built by slaves either. There is plenty of managerial advice in their literature. They even invented the careers-advice text... (be a scribe, my son; it's indoor work with no heavy lifting)
I agree, I think there's definitely been a large cultural shift when it comes to retail investing. Lots of people these days want to find the one play that gets them to retirement.

That culture shift extends well beyond WSB, but I think its at least somewhat less obvious here. In my experience, most of the time when people throw out price targets, at most they're predicting a 20%, 25% move, and not the 10x, 100x, or 10,000x you see elsewhere.

I don't think there's really a way, from a moderation perspective at least, to take the dreamers out of the equation... other then waiting and letting them get blown up by their high risk plays.

In photography it's neither the camera or the camera manufacturer that's considered the artist, I think the same logic would apply.
Any decent internal recruiter has an agreement that if they reached out to you, even if you bypassed them to contact the company, they get credit. And you are probably being contacted through a CRM that automates it for them.
Although my situation isn't too comparable aside from the drug itself, quitting for me was a 7 year saga. I think the isolation may actually have some benefits when it comes to quitting, for I struggled greatly with people around who also smoked. I had to reestablish and redfine alot of my friend relationships due to a lack of disipline of being around them and not partaking. Finding activities that are not heighted/more fun while high was useful to me. Since weed was and still is mostly illegal in australia, i made the most progress when I pursued getting a girlfriend. Luckily for me, i'm attracted to fairly straight laced women, so being high/talking about getting high was not condusive to that pursuit. Exercise and sleep are big ones, since for mt they seemed to go hand in hand for the progress of the other and making you less irritable and thus more unlikely likely to seek pain numbing. Like others have mentioned here, get it out of the house, if you require a card to get it (for auth), slice it and dice it. Best of luck!

id attribute it to the maximizer mindset - take Meta for example. reports are metaverse development cost $10 billion so far. development came from zuckerberg himself so no one is getting fired, but say an apple VP sponsors a project that creates a $10 billion loss. very likely they hit none of their targets, have no bonus and are on their way out the door. reading between the lines, is this the cause for the constant turnover in the rumored apple car project?

maybe this is an over simplification but, who has license to consume large amounts of resources across the company, potentially all of it being a loss, and not be fired?
I've followed this company since it was a research project at UIUC. I really admire what they built and feel sad it's shutting down.

Good luck to all, and I look forward to whatever you do next!
They are not optimizing for wealth... anymore. It's easy to shift your priorities once you are overwhelmed with a resource you could not possibly use all of.

> instance of an (attempted) "transformation of a radical viewpoint into one that's palatable to the mainstream" ...

I again think this is misunderstanding the point. The "transformation" we're talking about is one that betrays the initial goal. It didn't become palatable by convincing the mainstream, it did so by _changing its goal_ to something the mainstream already agreed with, contradicting the core beliefs of the original cause and community.

> "If theirs is a 'radical' viewpoint -- how did this shit we actually live under (and which is slowly killing us and the planet with it) get to become a 'normal, sane' viewpoint"

Apologies, but I really do feel like you're misunderstanding both the article and my response. Your comment is full of claims that something that everybody believes is radical, while the whole framing of the article is defining radical as "things that few people currently believe" and mainstream as "things that many people currently believe".

Your comment asked:

> "Why is the promotion one position an instance of 'sanewashing', while the normalization of other (no less insane in my view) position is just -- "the way it is"?

and the simple, clear answer is that "sane" and "radical" are being used throughout the article in the sense of "popular" and "unpopular".

I'm quite familiar with the author, having interacted with him many times on a couple of small, related message boards for many years. I can guarantee you that he holds and can eloquently defend many views which would be considered radical. _That just has nothing to do with this particular article_, which is about the dynamics of how popular views wash out unpopular ones.
There is a very small number of people who actually know what critical race theory is.

Where is the line of personal responsibility? Fraud should be prosecuted. Isn’t that the protection? These are laws that ensure only the rich can get richer. Terrible. Literally a law that says “you’re too stupid, we’re protecting you”.
I think they're absolutely there under the pretense of protecting people, and they do protect people from scams, at the cost of preventing average people from participating in one of the biggest wealth creation events in modern history. I think they're hypocritical, specifically because people are allowed to do all sorts of (in my opinion) far dumber things with their money. I think the world would be a much better place if gambling were illegal and all the people who currently waste their money at slot machines spent all that time thinking about how companies work.

You're correct that I'm allowed to throw my money away if I want, so why am I not allowed to do this?
Yes, I have lived in a place that has real winters, unless you don't think the northern part of Sweden qualifies.

For a city that does winter cycling properly, refer to Oulu in Finland. Winter cycling is common, because the infrastructure is well-maintained, and hence not an issue.
I don't think you actually read the information behind that link. The outlook was very much more differentiated than "showed promise". I'm not interested in continuing this discussion since you seem more interested in framing that story instead of looking at the facts. Bye.

Counter question: assuming there's no UBI, and automation eats the world - Amazon Warehouses and delivery are 99% automated, as are Walmart and MacDonalds - nobody can work[1]. Corporations are still paying close to 0% taxes. How exactly is this supposed to work?

Except a few in repairs and automation, and a handful of industries less amenable to robots.
DeFi's Fight for Liquidity
I think the 500k TC posts are usually talking about the massive stock appreciation that the FAANGs have gone through.

For example on Feb 4, 2019 Amazon was trading at 1623. By Feb 4, 2022 stock is trading at 3,112. This multiplies the value of any TC in years 3 and 4 by a significant sum (given the 5/15/40/40 vest) due to the near doubling of stock value over 3 years.

Anecdotes are not science. It is not "moving the goalposts" to note that lingering symptoms correlate with severity. The authors of the paper have already shown this, but didn't break it down enough.

I follow non-English media as well, and I have seen the same sort of crude propaganda becoming increasingly prevalent in the media of US-allied states. Many of the cultural and political trends that begin in the US have a way of spreading. This is particularly true of the China narrative, because the US has pushed for its allies to go along with a confrontational policy towards China.

I have not seen people becoming more informed about China. Much the opposite: I have seen the rapid spread of a bizarre image of China that has almost nothing to do with the reality on the ground.
GPs point is that under "capitalism" everyone is effectively a slave - working on someone else's terms, and it's only a few elite jobs where you really make enough to potentially buy your way out of the system. It's an opportunity that people working in a coffee shop or something don't have.

Either you don't understand how Signal works vis a vis phone numbers, or you're expecting something unreasonable.

The behavior which is reliably objected to by someone on HN, every time Signal is mentioned, is that the app sends a user an alert when someone in their contacts list is on Signal.

Phone numbers are the only resolution mechanism in Signal. Should that change? Separate question.

Having someone's phone number is by definition a way to contact them. Registering for Signal is by definition agreeing that anyone who searches for your phone number can send you a message on Signal.

What is the privacy violation in pushing awareness of that affordance? What about pull-only is better?

Signal does what I want it to here, and my trouble understanding why someone would be ok with everything about Signal except the push notification on join to people who have your number is genuine.

It's easy for me to understand why people don't like that a phone number is inherent to Signal, don't much care for it myself. But it's unrelated.
I bumped into this recently. What do you think?
He was certainly a good sport about it. The Dragon Book, or at least one edition of it, included the code for a hashing function he wrote, there called hash_pjw. I used it in a compilers class more than 30 years ago now.
Yes, that's essentially how it works. You might think that jumping through the sine table in large steps would make your waveform too irregular. But that's what happens with any digital audio. E.g. a CD has music at 44kHz, so a 4400 Hz tone only gives you 10 points from a sine wave which would seem very irregular. But a low-pass filter smooths things out, so you end up with a nice smooth sine wave. (Look up Nyquist frequency if you want more details.)

One additional thing about the DX7 index is that you can think of the index as having 10 fractional bits, so you have much more accuracy in the increments. Otherwise, the frequency resolution is pretty bad because the frequency changes in big jumps when the index step changes by 1.

> Are there communities out there where someone being on signal is a red flag?

Absolutely. Outside of the tech industry, people have a "reason" for using Signal. My wife remarked one day that one of her coworkers (a plant operator) suddenly appeared on Signal. I mused that he is probably cheating on his wife. She found out a few weeks later that my hunch was correct.

Other people I've seen on it I've been able to deduce that they're using it for drug purchases (simply by process of elimination, nothing else made sense) even when I didn't already know they were into recreational drugs.

In some circles, Signal is used just for general conversation. But in most, it's not. So being on it is a pretty strong signal that you're doing something 'important' on it...and usually its easy for friends and neighbors to narrow down what that is.
Can you request deletion of these? I've never really thought about that before (I don't use discord that much anyway other than hoping on some channels occasionally to help beginners to rust and c++. I guess I'm not giving away too much there :)

I read 'dedicated security chip' as something akin to an external chip like a TPM chip as opposed to dedicated transistors in the CPU die (which is more secure). So it sounds like we're agreeing.
I work at a medium-sized pharmaceutical company as a computational biologist. Diseases like KS sometimes come up as potential repurposing targets (or novel drug targets), but we get a LOT of pushback from finance / leadership because we're unlikely to turn a profit working on ultra-rare indications.

It is a deeply frustrating position to be in, wanting to work on these rare diseases and help this rarified patient population and not being able to, even though me and my colleagues are poised to do so. I often get maligned for being a scientist in pharma; laypeople often assert that I "don't want to treat cancer / rare genetic disease / etc; because then I'd be out of business." I can assure those reading that all of us DESPERATELY would like to work in these indications, and often times it's tragically finance that dictates whether we are able to or not. The system feels broken.
One thing I noticed is that you're running `ldd` on every executable file on the system. Incidentally, `ldd` returns valid output when ran on .so files (which are always executable). This means you're counting an extra use of certain libraries not just for the executables that use them but also the libraries that depend on them.

Also it seems like you're also scanning a bunch of flatpak apps and steam apps, which provide an environment for common libraries, but expect each program to statically link anything not shipped within these common environments.

Both of these skew the graph of most used libraries, and the former skews the additional space required for static linking a little.

It's also worth mentioning that inlining, the lack of a requirement for symbol names/version info/dependency info, and dead code stripping, make static binaries significantly smaller than the size of program + so.

I'm a huge proponent of shared libraries, but these numbers wouldn't really mean much in reality, unfortunately. Though for me, the main benefit of shared libraries is being to individually patch and upgrade them, without a care for how many apps actually use them nor how. This has been a godsent in terms of adding functionality and making my computer behave like I want it to.
WTF?

Suuure, "up to" one million, but over what time period? Technically $100k/year for 10 years is one million.
At this point I just pay for an additional line since VOIP numbers are being discriminated against. So just a few people will have that number.

On the other side of associating me with people, I'm also looking for an Apple iOS update that lets me upload just some contacts, when an app asks.
Signal having the contact list means that they'd be subject to legal (and extralegal) process to obtain the entire contact list for everybody using the service, which is untenable for them. Again: Signal is not Discord or WhatsApp; these are different services with different primary objectives.
Apple Pencil might be the most fragile product Apple ever produced.
It's like a ticking time bomb. Its battery is doomed to die any second.
I personally find it less morally repugnant to let people make bad bets on companies than to let people lose their money at slot machines all day.
Isn't your contact list encrypted? I mean wouldn't they have to hack my password (good luck) to do that?
I.e, far from being "2.9013", the question is whether this (bogus?) factor should be rounded to 3, or perhaps better "between 1 and 10".
Genuinely interested: can you elaborate on what metadata the matrix servers have access to? Say, don't they know who I am writing to, when and which groups I belong to?

Signal does not, and that's guaranteed by the client code (i.e. no need to trust anything on the server for that).
> What is the impact of someone who has your phone number knowing you are available over Signal?

Don't know about Signal, but Whatsapp does the same thing (advertise to your contacts that you have a whatsapp account) and I find it extremely offensive.

Context: I am an ardent anti-whatsapp activist, thus I don't have a whatsapp account. This activism has created quite a stir in my family and made a lot of people angry, yet I stick about it. I have forced many of my close family and friends to use a different communication channel with me, and I have lost the contact of quite a few acquaintances. When my dad died a few months ago, her wife needed to talk to me (and I needed to talk to her quite a lot). She was not really in the mood for listening to my techno-activism platitudes, and I was not in the mood to perform them, so I had to open a whatsapp account. Since all the people who I had forced to stop using whatsapp to talk to me would have felt alienated by this at this point, I needed to take a new phone number to talk to my stepmom via whatsapp.

This is a concrete example of why advertising the fact that I have a whatsapp account is an extremely annoying anti-feature. I'm sure there are similarly legitimate reasons for disliking the same feature in Signal. In any case, for a platform that has the privacy of users as one of its main tenets, this is a clear-cut case of anti-privacy feature. I can imagine reasonable people avoiding Signal precisely for this.
This is just flat out disinformation.
