I guess engineering managers like us are trained to turn a blind eye to bad ethics. We spend most of our work time slavishly rationalizing the power structure so we build an instinct for bending the knee outside of work.

> That sounds like a philosophy where thinking an experience is real is equivalent to it being real. Which sounds a lot like faith.

Fascinating observation, as flawed as your reasoning is, because pain is not at all like, say, experiencing a bird flying past, which could be real, could be virtual, it could even be a dream that the individual can not determine is not real, but that does not make it real. Pain does not work this way, so the fallacy you've employed is false equivalence, because you are claiming that if I say "pain is unmistakeable whether it is phantom pain or conventional pain," you've conflated that specific example to a generalization where it no longer holds, that experiencing real x or dream x is equivalent, which is not necessarily true for anything but pain.

Again, "if you think you are in pain, then you are in pain" is true, even if it can not be true for all things that could replace pain in that true statement, like if you think you are in Florida, then you are in Florida, which might not be true. But "if you think you are in pain then you are in pain" is always true in all cases, everywhere, always, and most people can immediately intuit this, because it is true. One must have deeply flawed reasoning if one expects anything else to be able to fit in place of pain as though the word were a variable. It is not. I made a specific claim and I made no other. You're making those new claims and arguing against your new claims, making it not only false equivalence, but also the venerable straw man.
Good, we have some insane district maps in Maryland. I don’t understand why we can’t use more fair processes for deciding on district boundaries. A bunch of states have absurd district maps (Texas stands out in particular on the other side of the political aisle from Maryland)
I think it is obvious at this point that the human body is designed to self-destruct, causing death at old age, once a certain biological threshold is reached. Resistance to this idea comes not from a rational perspective, but a semi-religious belief that your own body would not betray you.

Interestingly, KeyKOS's successors ended up removing the transparent checkpointing out of the kernel. As I understand it the reasoning was two fold. 1) virtual memory page outs can be implemented cleanly by a user space process, so pushing it out there makes the kernel have a smaller surface area. 2) checkpointing in distributed envs requires some idea of the checkpoint event being propagated to user space since there's all sorts of state that could be on other systems. Rolling back is going to get TCP, etc out of sync. The earlier user space knows it's been rolled back to a checkpoint, the quicker it can recover practically.

It's trippy, I have data of this person's face eg. videos/base64 strings... it's eerie. Unanswered texts wondering what's wrong. My thinking is I was only exposed to a part of this person, won't be them fully if reproduced.
There is still too much confusion to draw proper conclusions. What I mean is that a lot of people who say they dislike working from home actually dislike the pandemic, the lockdowns, the lack of human interaction, and the associated stress and drama. They might be perfectly happy to work from home in normal times.

Also as a former hospitality worker, my sympathy for those whose jobs preclude WFH entirely.

The programmed aging theory may be "obvious" but there is not really evidence to support it as of the present.

If true, it would likely be very easy to stop aging (there would likely be some mechanism in cells causing aging that could simply be switched off), but this has not been borne out by research so far, and this is despite the fact that much anti-aging researching assumes it to be true.

The preponderance of the evidence currently seems to support the theory that aging is caused by damage building up over a lifetime.

As a consumer I hope that for international funds transfer they push for at LEAST 25 char fields for identity/reference.

HM Customs & Excise need me to send GBP350 every year to my UK national insurance top up (pension) And this requires me to send my NI number which is 9 alpha-digits, combined with my surname which is 10 characters.

Just curious, what format did you use?

If it's Parquet, it does column compression via Snappy by default (which more optimized for speed than size).

You can change the compression to ZSTD or GZIP for higher compression ratios.

I myself kind of went full circle. I started mostly python, then started to really embrace bash, mainly because I joined a company where everyone else used it a ton, got pretty decent at it. Even wrote basically a primitive container orchestrator in Bash because my PM didn't want to use anything "newfangled". Then I joined a startup at basically the ground floor, and it's almost entirely pure python, with some Makefiles to automate common operations. All that to say, I have a lot of experience with both paradigms.

And frankly...bash kinda sucks as a programming language and environment. It's a footgun factory. Even when I was most fluent, I constantly had to deal with nested quotes, escaping, stringly types, empty variables, implicit behavior.

Python's biggest weak point is definitely its packaging and dependency ecosystem... but it at least has one. Bash doesn't even have modules. And it's gotten MUCH better over the years, with pyproject.toml, poetry, actual version resolvers, pipx makes managing venvs for cli tools way easier.

"but bash is everywhere" says many folks. yeah, and? There was a point in time where it wasn't. Python is seeing way more market penetration.

Xonsh (python based shell) and plumbum (python library which makes pipe-operating and subprocessing easier) are both great.
>37% of jobs in the United States can be performed entirely at home

And the second top level comment from that:

>The coding used by this survey is a joke. If 40% of an occupation says they work outdoors that's below 50% so it's bucketed into the work from home category on that criterion. I think if even 20% of a job is saying they work outdoors that's pretty strong evidence you're missing some information about what the other 80% are doing in their job that prevents it from being a work from home job. The net result of their setup is obviously a vast overestimate so take the 37% number with a grain of salt.
For me that’s right on the money. $6 each way for me to visit the city on the train. I’m at the end of the line though, but not super far out of the city.
Pedantic comment. 37% is a minority of jobs.
Not the original poster, but I use 1 Second Everyday, which is the original app that eventually spawned a bunch of copycats. It’s a little buggy from update to update, and I think they’ve added a yearly payment (I’m grandfathered into the free plan), but it’s likely the best you’ll see out there. It’s never lost a video for me in six years.
I like that it is hard. Moving forward I actually can set it up so i can program new keys from third parties, it just isn’t possible while the car is locked without a functional key. There are also ways to permanently bypass the security but i don’t really want to do that either, it’s nice that it’s very hard to steal.
As shown in the comments over there, the article is very quick in drawing conclusions that jobs can be done fully remotely.

Eg: In Q17, the respondent have to say that they work outdoors every day. If the majority does only say that they works outdoors some days - or even most days - the algorithm infers that the job can be done fully from home.
I find the pins on the connector on all my lightning cables gets scorched and stops working no matter what brand or quality of cable I buy.

Ageism is higher in companies in domains/work with lower barrier of entry, such as the ones you also identified like web dev, mobile apps and so on.

Ageism is less in domains that require domain expertise and hence have a higher barrier to entry for a newbie. Look at systems engineering, hardware, semi conductor, deep science and so on.
Again -- it's a test of obedience (and a CYA ritual for the company's owners). It's not supposed to impart useful information, otherwise make sense.

You are correct, this is the reason many JP publishers are hiring agencies (of varying quality) to localize their content and publish in English themselves, or exclusively on their platform. Because they get those subsidies
> Basically an absence of belief is saying that the level of evidence presented to me has not surpassed the requirements of my filter. The burden is on others to improve the evidence.

Again, the "absence of belief" is identical to "not believing:" "the evidence has not convinced you, so you do not believe it," is, in fact, a belief. Believing something is a belief, and not believing something is also a belief. Belief is not knowledge of truth, it is a gamble that something is true without seeing the dice. When you see the dice, you know.
>This seems like the kind of clever but also crazy thing a kid would come up with based on limited information about the world, but that definitely doesn't work.

Raw Lore
I don’t think it is at all necessarily true that there would be one mechanism for programmed aging that could be disabled by modern medicine. Rather, evolutionary pressures might cause many mechanisms to develop simultaneously to prevent aging of individuals too far beyond the point of reproductive viability.

If aging is caused by built-up damage, how would babies ever come to exist and live normal lifespans? The cell lines that produce new human embryos are millions of years old, yet each newly born human doesn’t face the problems of old age until they are 40+ years old.
I’m not quite sure if that’s accurate. The distinction is that Disney isn’t allowing the movies to have for-profit showings. The movies are still widely available on streaming services or to purchase through iTunes. Alien was brought up as an example of a film in the article - the first four Alien movies are on sale for $20 on iTunes right now.

This isn’t so much Disney hiding the movies, but more that they’re limiting many to in home screening only.
There are still successful games like that, just look at the success of Elden Ring
It's also possible that a lot of people who say they like working from home actually just like not being exposed to COVID. You seem to think there's no rational reason anyone would want to work in person.
None of these have a historical ETA estimator, which has been requested in ninja maybe a decade ago. I hacked a few lines to show something, but would prefer the correct solution.

I think you misunderstand what [flagged][dead] means on HN. It typically means that other users have flagged the submission, and once a certain small number have done so (2? 3? something like that) it is marked as [dead]. At this point is visible only to the moderators, and to users like me who have [showdead] on in their settings. Users with a certain number of points (500?) can then vouch for a story to bring it back from the dead---at least until more users flag it and kill it again.

So in this sense, yes, HN actively censors all sorts of things. But usually it's done by users, rather than by the moderators. If you turn on [showdead] yourself you can see which things these are. I'd roughly guess that about 90% is straight up spam that should definitely be flagged, 8% are debatable depending on what you think should be here on the site, and 2% are wrongly flagged. Obviously, different users will sometimes disagree on which category a post falls in.

I'd put your original post in the "debatable" category. I wouldn't have flagged it myself, but I don't feel confident in vouching to try to revive it. This isn't because of the subject matter, but because I personally don't feel comfortable with hoax calls like that. I suspect Google doesn't either, and this is probably why they removed it. Or possibly I misunderstand their premise---I haven't watched the video.

The last two, including this one, were more likely flagged because you are creating posts to complain about site moderation, and that's essentially against the rules. I vouched for this one to revive it so that I could respond to you. If you have comments about site moderation, they are better done via email with Dan: hn@ycombinator.com. He's very busy, but generally very good at responding eventually to polite inquiries.

Who said lawsuit? It doesn't have to be a lawsuit. Shareholders can put pressure on the company in a few ways. And in any case, I'm talking about shareholders' interests, not the (sometimes ineffective) steps they can take to remedy conflicts with corporate leadership.

Nonetheless, a lawsuit is possible as well. Foregoing profits in favor of ideology could conceivably be a breach of fiduciary responsibility, a primary cause of shareholder lawsuits. You may be right that there has never been a lawsuit like this about too-low prices, but I simply don't know. And unless you're a corporate lawyer with extensive shareholder lawsuit experience-- or happen to have some legal experience and a subscription to something like Westlaw-- then you are making an unfounded guess.

I have a friend w/ Westlaw access, among other databases, but I'm not willing to ask them to spend a few hours researching the issue to see if there's every been such a case, or try to find one myself. But in the history of corporate lawsuits it certainly wouldn't surprise me. There is a body of caselaw that could encompass it, predatory pricing (https://www.justice.gov/atr/predatory-pricing-strategic-theo...). Selling significantly below the market-clearing rate demonstrated by scalper prices might provide some ammunition for this claim, but IANAL so I won't speculate further on its actual applicability.

If you have more direct expertise or knowledge of the caselaw there I'm happy to hear it. I think, absent completely recalcitrant corporate leadership on the issue, shareholders would force the issue outside of the courtroom.

Putting the Axe to the ‘Scram’ Myth
Now, that's the beginning of a good argument!

If I'm arguing that the noble lie is morally good (I didn't say as much, but I think it's fair to read my statements as moral agreement), presumably I'm arguing in favor of a teleological moral system. Does the utility of the reduced suicide outweigh the utility of the ignorance and mistrust created by the lie? I'd concede that a noble lie is difficult to justify in other moral systems.

If I'm going to convince you that a noble lie is morally good, I need to both convince you that (1) a teleological moral system is superior to the alternatives and (2) that the noble lie has net positive utility. The first is very difficult to argue if we disagree, so I shouldn't even start if I can't provide good evidence that the second is true in practice.

HWR_14 makes some strong arguments that the utility is a net negative.

I think I've been convinced by you and HWR_14.
Precisely.
