As far as I understand how the thinking behind moderating this forum works the most likely reason is because such a question is expected to lead to a low value discussion probably involving many statements that could be said to be nationalistic flame war or something along those lines. And HN simply cannot handle those types of discussions and it's not what they try to make here.

I tried to find relevant comments by moderators I'm not sure how helpful it is but here: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

I agree that it's sad because then that seems like it means that you can't get the perspectives of various sort of intellectual interesting or intelligent people (may be in a similar career space to you) about topics which are contentious. So that gives the impression that these people are unable to think about or talk about those topics in a way that is sort of... Nice. Which doesn't bode well for society if some of the "smartest" cannot engage on issues they find important. But I think that's, maybe, just misperception because I think the cause of those types of flame wars is because human social cognitive emotional development / evolution at the present time is not equipped to do that kind of stuff without devolving and also that the nature of the text only forum mostly devoid of social cues and body language and nonverbal stuff and also where people are sort of freed from social or mostly reputational context by anonymous accounts I think those are some of the things that contribute to the intense interactions that can occur.

My suggestion is you just fire off a couple of random LinkedIn messages or emails to people whose views you're interested in or respect and ask them their opinion. I know it's not the same type of scatter shot wide net approach that you can get here with an Ask HN but it might help you get some feedback that you're looking for.

And I don't think there's much harm in at least trying to ask it here first and seeing you know if it gets flagged or not. Maybe doing that can also help you refine your views of what content this forum is seeking.

If you post in good faith and try to stay curious and sincere and well intentioned, even if you do something that is sort of against what the forum can handle, in my experience the moderators will let you know and they will help you turn it into an opportunity for you to create an improvement.

Only a much better link if you don't like to read.

The linked PDF is a rich, dense 47 page transcript.

The blog post has a few pictures and maybe a page of text, along with clips from the interview.

I really enjoyed the story in the transcript, as well as the side-story about Ellen Fetter.

[Side Story]: https://www.wired.com/story/these-hidden-women-helped-invent...
There were factions and he was in one that had his back. The faction that belonged to a new CEO who brought with him a CTO. Most of the antics and cringy back stabbing flowed from the CFO who was brought in by other board members.

After we got acquired he started openly insulting management and the new company to their face in meetings in front of everyone. He did it on purpose but it still took quite a bit to get fired.
The EU is sanctioning Russia and still buying from Russia. If that isn't duplicitous, I don't know what is.
I agree that's there's no chance of a popular coup anytime soon. Russian intelligence services were able to influence the results of the US election just by buying Facebook ads, leaking hacked DNC emails to WikiLeaks and funding a few extremist voices. Now imagine what they could do by controlling every single media outlet in a country for the two decades Putin has been in power.
I went out of it with the conclusion "The world is broken, deal with it"

Just to get caught by that line in the culture part:

> If you read these kinds of discussions, you'll often see people claiming "that's just how the world is" and going further and saying that there is no other way the world could be, so anyone who isn't prepared for that is an idiot.

I'll defend my own claim as not trying to put the blame on the victim, it's nobody's fault most of the time, and we get to see some progress, sometimes. People should enjoy the stuff that actually work and praise those who make real efforts to make it less broken.

Yeah. It's important to remember that Mao killed between 15 and 55 million of his own people during the GLF and he still managed to claw his way back to power with the Cultural Revolution a few years later.

on-call is brutal, i basically agree with you except on the last point; i think people should be allowed to decide for themselves if they want to do it assuming they are paid handsomely
I don't disagree with you, but there's more to it than that, in that there's often additional things going on. The article alludes to some of this stuff but it's the tip of the iceberg.

I know, for example, fellow female graduate students who made it a point to seduce and check off male faculty on lists, often high profile or attractive. One of them ended up getting a job because of this and marrying their goal. This is something mentioned in the article, that resonated with me because I'd seen it in person.

Some of these same people would later go on to have relationships with postdocs and students, all the while bemoaning male faculty who were in relationships with students. Their female friends who were seeking out senior male faculty somehow ended up being both abused and manipulated, but also the manipulators in their minds, leading to all sorts of paradoxical positions and internal conflict.

I've also seen cases where both parties really are trying to maintain boundaries, but work together daily often for long hours, are similar in interests and personality, and eventually get involved emotionally even though they're trying to avoid it. It's not like undergraduate-faculty relationships that are one-to-many and relatively superficial.

Then there's all the stereotypical stuff, male faculty harassing female students at parties and whatnot, after class, etc.

Everything about this article rang true to me, even the nonsexual aspects of it. All of it.
Fifth-Generation Warfare
I do understand the frustration with things like that but I just think people forget the big picture. Totaling all annoyances and negatives about Mozilla (which are a lot) against the competition makes me seriously glad I don't use them.

This hypocracy+everything I listed about FF+everything else Mozilla has done is a drop in the bucket compared to the user-hostile world that is Edge/Brave/Chrome.

To be clear: I agree with you. I harden Firefox because their defaults do not make me happy. But it's going to take a whole lot more bad decisions before they're worse than their competition.
Legit the only reason I don't use iPhone is due to being forced to use Safari (or Safari rendering engine wrapped)
I'm not sure I agree with this author at all. React is extremely accessible. It's the reason it blew up and now has a behemoth of a community.

Getting started with React nowadays is as simple as

$ npx create-react-app

Follow the instructions, then run:

$ npm install
$ npm run dev

Congratulations, you have a fully working React application and development environment. Even more impressively, you can now ship your app and make it available for everyone to use right away using tools like Vercel. Just install the Vercel CLI, go to your app root and run:

$ vercel

Congratulations. You've now created a React app and deployed it.

Too often I see people complaining about complex React apps when in reality they're complaining about poor decision making while building these applications. No, you don't need Redux, or MobX, or a million CSS libraries. In the wrong hands, any application on any framework can become unwieldy.
what extensions do you have?
I met some amazing Google engineers - network and SRE peope - early in my career and idolised them for a long time. Recently I got to work with Google on the commercial side and I was shocked by the incompetence, apathy and fear. No idea what’s going on in engineering but rarely have I worked with commercial folks who were so under-qualified and disempowered.
Oh and if you do go build awesome open source work, the best way to get attention is to do it inside a FAANG company & to release a corporate blog post on it. You'll have many orders of magnitude more attention & interest in your project, if comes from a tech giant.

Oddly enough School Busses do cover almost every address in the US, which demonstrates such a network isn’t inherently difficult to build. Rather automobiles are just really convenient in low density areas.
As a generic statement, look for a silk sleep mask.

While not often actually silk, they tend to be soft polyester and use fabric filler rather than near-credit-card-grade plastic. (I agree, I don't understand firm sleep-masks)

In the photos (I know they're photoshopped these days), look for the mask to actually wrap around the user's face, and look for photos that show the same material on both sides (so you can see that you're not getting a different material on the user's face-side). Look for a bit of gloss to the material so that it appears to be a nice silk-or-polyester. Look for the little plastic clip of an adjustable elastic loop so you can adjust the tension.

I definitely have had to play with the elastic tension to get a soft fit.

> The German natural gas dependency is going to be the strategic blunder of the decade, though there is an argument that it was done in part because Germany believed that strong trade ties were a good impediment to war.

It worked; Germany is unwilling to wage war upon a trading partner its developed a dependency on.

The problem is Russia didn't develop a dependency on outside trade, so it's less concerned about maintaining trade.
It's not very helpful given that it doesn't distinguish between existing domains and available domains.

Not very thoughtful. Do you think fast food workers are aware of a vast number of more interesting, higher paying jobs they are able to get and are simply working at minimum wage over a deep fried for the fun of it?
> 2 services moved my account to a different email address instead of deleting it. I was only able to detect this because they changed the mailbox part (the bit in front of the @ sign) but left the domain unchanged. I capture all incoming emails to my domain, so I saw email-change confirmation emails and other emails arriving at the new unexpected addresses.

That's sketchy, especially if you don't own the domain but you're on a multi tenant domain like Gmail
> Spring is here, Europe has reserves...

We actually don't have a lot of reserves due to a mix of pissing of Russians (at mid/end '21) and massive speculation.

> Weighing an energy crisis in Europe against a prolonged war in Ukraine I think most europeans will agree with me that the energy crisis is the preferred option.

Lower class people and even lower middle class people are already hurting. I can handle a surprise increase in heating costs and a jump in gas prices, but people who need to drive to work daily aren't that lucky (and, to make matters worse, the government just reduced the home office incentives in Germany).

Once prices hit serious peaks (doubling and up) or actual supply issues appear, support will fade very quickly,even in the privileged classes.
Securing the data in your online code repository is a shared responsibility
Seems to me that this is exactly the problem. The python team is saying they really can't maintain these libraries to a high standard and need to remove them from the standard library. I can see both sides but really that makes a lot of sense to me.
So like the size of a horse?
I totally agree that stack PRs are a good idea. It's how Git was meant to be used (see the Linux kernel's development process).

The problem is, they're a pain to work with in GitHub and so only a very small number of people end up learning how to work with them.
Why do you think banks accept deposits at all?
Totally agree!

Re an easier tool, I'm one of the co-founders of Graphite (https://graphite.dev), we built this tool literally to help you stack PRs on GitHub (former FB'ers who missed a stack-based workflow). It does not require your team to change their workflow. If you're interested in giving it a spin, happy to let anyone here through the waitlist, feel free to just dm me on twitter (@tomasreimers) or email me at tomas@graphite.dev

If you're new to the concept of stacking, you can read our post on it here: https://graphite.dev/blog/post/DThX8ffP1gmxWJChEv0y

And a tutorial on how to do it here: https://graphite.dev/blog/post/N8SOs49y4bYdV1Vjf5qE
Research on Blue light and sleep:
https://justgetflux.com/research.html

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanopsin :

> Melanopsin photoreceptors are sensitive to a range of wavelengths and reach peak light absorption at blue light wavelengths around 480 nanometers.[30] Other wavelengths of light activate the melanopsin signaling system with decreasing efficiency as they move away from the optimum 480 nm. For example, shorter wavelengths around 445 nm (closer to violet in the visible spectrum) are half as effective for melanopsin photoreceptor stimulation as light at 480 nm.[30]

Under Melanopsin > infobox > "Biological process", e.g. "entrainment of circadian clock by photoperiod" and "regulation of circadian rhythm" are listed.
In general: no, we'd love for things to be faster than six weeks. We just get a tremendous amount of applicants, and we have a lot of work to do. So the queue gets backed up. Hiring is hard.
As far as I know, Firefox is the easiest browser to add this back in. Right click on basically any search box and Add A Search Shortcut and you can bind it to "ya" or something.

That's illegal under the GDPR and many other privacy laws and is subject to heavy fines if caught. I work in privacy at a large tech company, and we take this stuff extremely seriously.
Yea but how about the lower stakes examinations in more developed country with less selectivity pressure like the US? The incentive to cheat if you're a poor performer is still high.

I shudder to think how many future doctors with a poor moral compass are getting through the system. Not only is their incompetence dangerous, their lack of ethics and craftiness could mean that they'll be harder to detect.
> AFAIK, the GCS Archive tier has the same availability characteristics as Coldline and the same latency as all GCS class (10s of milliseconds).

That's true as far as I know. And the combination of "the data is accessible instantly" with "there is no low priority retrieval, there is only the ultra expensive kind" implies that their architecture is extremely weird and/or some very manipulative pricing is happening.
It’s worth noting that the setup mentioned:

> Using VSCode as a desktop connected to a remote code server, or using JetBrains Projector, is the true sweet spot

is a zero lag approach when it comes to code editing.

The only time a brief lag show up in the IDE are when you need to open a folder/workspace in an uncached directory which is easily ignored.

I’ve been banging the drum on this setup for well over 2 years. Happy to share more info if interested
I think it's pretty close to Ed Catmull's "Success Hides Problems".

The underlying thesis being that market success is orthogonal to your internal company's state, inefficiencies included.
I hate this argument. I hear it all the time. It's wrong and silly.
I'm not sure why you think any of this is relevant to the point being made, but since you seem to be actually ignorant of the matter: blackness is a racial identifier, not a matter of skin tone. Skin tone is certainly part of racialization, but regardless of how dark or light someone's skin is, they may or may not be racialized as black, and therefore may or may not be subject to anti-black racism.
As long as all PII is purged in this process (tricky to guarantee with software like Confluence that is entirely dedicated to hosting user-generated data), that could be compliant.
Search amazon for ‘contoured eye mask’. They are pretty comfortable.
Didn’t they believe that only for stuff too small for them to easily see? I’m pretty sure they still knew that chickens came from eggs, for example.
Yup, and their lack of moral compass combined with sufficient craftiness to hack the system could have major implications in the workforce. They'll be incompetent and unethical but hard to detect.
For snowboarding, try Slopes.

Or, if you happen to have an Ikon pass, the official Ikon Pass app (May work at ikon pass resorts without the pass — not sure?)

Both know the difference between a run and a lift. Slopes doesn’t quite get pauses. Not sure about how ikon handles it. (I don’t get too obsessive about it). Nice thing about ikon app is that it tells you which runs you took. (Slopes is seemingly adding this but it’s not prime time yet)
For a short period of time circa 2017/2018, Google was on the path toward monopolizing machine learning as well through Tensorflow. Thankfully, PyTorch overtook TF.
Most people can’t. “Read carefully or for comprehension” would probably translate to level 4/5 prose literacy skills in the NCES NAAL (National Center for Education Statistics National Assessment of Adult Literacy). Recent survey puts this group (level 4/5) at 12% of the adult population. Levels 4 and 5 are no longer separated because of the small percentage of people that fall into group 5. Level 4 tasks require you to be able to understand something in the presence of distractors. Just to make up an example, think about the last time you sent an email to someone that had two questions in it. Did they answer both questions? (I’m actually a bit unsure that this falls in level 4.)

(Level 5 includes tasks such as “compare and contrast complex information, or to generate new information making high-level inferences or using specialized background knowledge”.)
The OP wasn’t talking about hiding numbers, where’d you get that idea?
"No Tracking. Just Search..." is cool but it's been tried before, see DuckDuckGo.

It would be nice to have "No Filters. Just Search..." as well.
> I do not consider myself a frontend dev

> Most react projects that don't have a frontend guru on board are seriously troubled.

You know, I think the React hype has truly ended when the recurring theme I keep seeing on Hacker News is that React is bad. I'm thinking maybe it hit critical mass and this is the reason I keep seeing statements like this.

> staying on top of the current trends in frontend development ecosystem demands a smart lifelong learner geek.

Am I the only one who thinks frontend development is, like, actually not that hard whatsoever?
Leveraging machine learning to find security vulnerabilities – The GitHub Blog
Yeah, but those are functional limitations, not failure to function.
Interesting deal for Miso Robotics - per their website, the Flippy 2 starts at $3000 per month, so that's maybe a $7.5 million deal per year assuming 2 robots per location.

In terms of location costs, 2 machines with maintenance might be around $10k per month per location. Definitely a cost savings move for White Castle - I reckon 24 hour coverage with staff would be more than that.

I guess there's no avoiding this - with inflation the way it is, and the inability of certain businesses to raise prices (fast food burgers at $15 a pop?), and real estate going crazy, we are certainly moving to a Star Wars type future where "droids" of some sort will be in most aspects of our lives. All this money printing has a cost.

Bit sad that our kids won't have the experience of working in fast-food as their "summer job", nor will they have humans serving them from behind the counter. Cold and clinical...
