I have a nearly 16 year old reddit account and as a middle aged white guy I completely back the first rule given in Reddit's content policy. If you're unhappy with this being stated explicitly, you can like, just not use Reddit.

I do not want the site catering to anyone who those who will use Reddit to attack marginalized or vulnerable groups. These people will not be missed as Reddit users.

This is my standard practice - I give a real world data fix script that has been simplified to understand and comment on in 20 minutes. The interviewee is the code reviewer before it gets run in production. It covers things like performance, security, typical syntax mistakes, and working with sensitive data. The best part is actually not the script, but the stories it triggers about past challenges.
The board could always remove the poison pill once shareholder lawsuits start. Musk could always step back in and buy at a significant discount
this is incorrect. the price going up is a reflection of the market's believe about the % likelihood of a deal.

for example at market close of $45.08, the market is betting there is a $45.08/$54.20 = 83% chance that this transaction goes through.

there are certainly individual stockholders who are buying because they like his involvement, but that is tiny compared to people buying and selling a very near-term bet
Atleast deferred payments due on sale. That's the actual feasible political solution to California's prop 13 conundrum. Ok, it's impossible to raise effective property taxes to 1% (which causes some of the insane housing prices due to low carrying costs for speculation), because it would reduce the ability for some retirees to pay because they didn't budget for it, and they'll always vote against it. Then at least defer those taxes until time of sale.
Nobody will switch from Twitter to some knock off he or anyone else makes.

(By “nobody” I mean both nearly 0% of users and only people who will not be missed on Twitter)
Strangely enough I originally posted this to HN as a threadreader link, but it looks like the mods switched it to the original thread on Twitter. I can't remember ever seeing that before. Is this a new stance that HN now frowns upon threading apps?

Correct.

The rename can succeed while the write of the file you just renamed gets rolled back.

Download in 1985? Doesn't sound too likely. I remember using internet at the university in 1989. Maybe employees had access a bit earlier. But I doubt 4 years. I used Bitnet in 1987, but that was elsewhere, to my understanding our university never had it or only later
when various networks/protocols got more interconnected.

Sounds more like they ordered a tape or some employee brought it from a trip to a conference.
Best of luck with that! I'm a little too close to 45 for that to be likely to work for me, but in the meantime I am pursuing working arrangements that are more sustainable and fulfilling!

I didn’t get a sanctimonious tone. I got a frustrated/tired one. Like a warning from someone who has seen it happen 100 times and can’t put a lot of energy into it anymore.

Just “I’ve been there, this is what’s going to happen, sorry but it really sucks.“
A technical reading of GDPR leads one to think that data in a backup should also be deleted. But in practice most orgs are treating Article 7, The Right to Erasure, as meaning "make no longer publicly available."

That still leaves the issue of ensuring processes are in place to make sure the "deleted" data is not restored from backups.
There’s a firewall between the GS analyst setting the $30/share price target and the GS investment bankers advising Twitter…I suggest you look into how investment banks are regulated and structured.

Interesting to look at the evidence behind this. Self reported wide scope ("do you feel tired") unscientific garbage designed to eek yet more money from the public purse.

There were dancing plague outbreaks[0] that affected Europe for centuries, and all before the invention of mass media. Imagine the effects of pumping this[1] into people brains on every media format - paying print[2] and tv & online media with a multi billion £ budget to propagate the fear. Fining you for seeing your family.

The correlation I've noticed with long covid and public sector pension recipients is quite striking.

It's not illegal if you enter a Windows key before a manual amelioration, and even if you use the pre-made ISO, it's extremely unlikely anyone is going to go after you for it, unless you're a business.
I disagree that it is "bonkers" to remove those. Both are a threat to privacy.

As far as Windows Defender goes, I believe antivirus software in general does more harm than good. They are generally quite resource hungry, and won't prevent most zero-days or unknown malware. If you're a tech literate power user, I don't think an AV is useful to you.

I do agree removing Windows Update does pose some security risk, however I don't think said risk is nearly as bad as some make it out to be, and I personally think the benefits of Windows Ameliorated greatly outweigh any security downsides.

Also, AME does greatly help to mitigate the attack surface of Windows:

Windows Ameliorated ships with a non-administrator user account by default, which mitigates ~70% of Windows vulnerabilities. (Source: https://web.archive.org/web/20210618023509/https://www.beyon...).
Of course you can still do admin actions, it just requires the admin password.
Even limiting the college discussion to technology, most CS students will be discovering their interests and talents during that time, dabbling in different languages, not just learning one curated stack. (Every developer will shift language focus at some point in their career; discovering the how and why is important) Many may take on internships.

That said, I think there's a place for essentially "assembly line" developers. However, the income and career trajectory will reflect that, and that's not the dream they are being sold.
Musk has basically hinted that he might sell his 9% stake if the deal doesn't go through. a selloff of that volume would definitely change the value of Twitter.
You don't have kids, do you.
The “abuse” of H1 is mostly for lousy operations and legacy sustainment jobs.

There’s no way your state labor department or insurance company is going to pay a premium for US workers to train for and work a dead end, low satisfaction job updating 50 year old COBOL or 20 year old J2EE. So they contract out the work on-prem or setup a technology center in Nowhereville, New Mexico to grease the skids and make the hiring process work.

The reality is, without the H1 folks, those jobs would just be outsourced abroad anyway. The calculus is easy: the company benefits from greater control, the country collects taxes from people who may not ever collect benefits, and we get a pipeline of skilled immigrants.
I experienced something very similar to your "coming of age conflict" so-to-speak, only mine began earlier and had certain... catalysts...

The short version of the story is that at this point in my life, that conflict eventually dissipated at some point. Perhaps my parent(s) arrived at a new inflection point. Perhaps they became more mature. Whatever it was, it seems they've at least come to terms with the fact that I'm going to pave my own way regardless of their thoughts and feelings on the matter. Ultimately, acknowledging that if they want a relationship with me it simply looks different than how they originally envisioned it.

If you ever care to share your story, I suggest doing just that. Therapy and simply talking through the issues that my experience cultivated allowed me to see things from a birds-eye view a bit better, and dissolve my ego from the situation. I'm all ears, FWIW, and I wish you the best of luck in finding peace somehow in your own sticky situation.
So now we're going back to the central point. Before it sounded like you wanted me to "stop producing". Now from this reply, it sounds like you don't actually care if I stop producing, you're just objecting to me getting paid and demanding payment.

It depends on how you define fiduciary responsibility. If it’s a point in time, transactional view, yes. If it’s a long term view of maximizing share holder value over time, not necessarily.
Not in Unicode, sadly.
> If you were a member of Twitters board, would it be in the interest of the current average shareholder to sell their shares at well above the market price?

That definitionally depends on whether you, as that hypothetical board member, believe that Twitter has the potential to reach a share price higher than $54.20 if it stays public.

Also, remember there is nothing that binds the board of a company to solely consider potential shareholder value in the actions they take. There's a widespread belief that "fiduciary duty" overrides all other concerns, but from a regulatory/legal standpoint, that's simply not so. The board obviously needs to take it into account, but if they believe a merger or takeover is not in the best interest of the company, they don't have to take it.
Fixed! Thank you so much for pointing them out. Also added a couple of more templates to the menu.

> ext4 on Linux (since 2009) special-cases rename

This is interesting.

The linked git entry (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4.g...) from the LWN article says "Notice: this object is not reachable from any branch."

Did this never get merged because I definitely saw this issue in production well after 2009.

I guess it either got changed, or, a different patch applied but perhaps this https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/fs/ext4/namei.... does it?
China is not under sanctions, but the odds are excellent that the US government would flip out and prohibit Twitter from selling.
> at market close of $45.08, the market is betting there is a $45.08/$54.20 = 83% chance that this transaction goes through.

This assumes the price without the transactions goes to $0.00!
"Bugs we will solve" seems to imply there's still a coding component. Is that correct? That's a different thing from what OP describes (and FWIW I'm pretty sure I like yours better).
If it is a general trend on takeover optimism, we should play that angle and become millionaires
Thanks for the links. Goodness what a mess of a precedent.

Having the board ignore a large shareholder would be one thing. Shares give votes, and terms don't turn over every day, and we don't kick out politicians as soon as the polls turn sour on them. Fine. But if a shareholder has enough shares to change the board composition (or just threatens to) the incumbents can just unilaterally decide that the challenger owns a smaller fraction of the company than they bought on the open market? Maybe it's not technically self-dealing, but it's bad.

> In reality, it's a cost-cutting measure designed to suppress US wages

There may be some firms who are abusing the system. The example of Disney comes to mind... they hired H-1B workers, then laid off US citizen employees, then had the laid off employees train their cheaper replacements.

But just because some people are abusing the system doesn't mean the system is inherently bad. The reason the US is a technology superpower is not merely because of the programmers who were born in the US, but also because of the programmers who immigrated to the US.

Adjusted for inflation, wages for top talent has gone up about 20% in the last 30 years. In 1990, if you got a job in a top company such as Sun Microsystems you got paid about $45K (average then was $40K). If you adjust for inflation that would be around $98K. But today's fresh graduates make about $115 to $120K if you get into a company like Microsoft, and Microsoft isn't even one of the top employers in terms of pay. Facebook and Google pay much more.
The /blog/ related issues you pointed are now fixed. Thank you!

You're right about Moogle. While I was working on building PretzelBox, I had launched just the blogging piece - i.e. post to your blog from Gmal - as a standalone service on Moogle.cc.

Appreciate you taking the time to give feedback.
Of course, that requires tenants trust Intel's security.

As a security researcher and given past showings from Intel, I wouldn't put much faith in SGX, even if they try to fix past flaws. SGX as a concept for tenant-provider isolation requires strong local attacker security, which is something off the shelf x86 has never had (not up to contemporary standards, ever) and certainly not in anything Intel has put out. They've demonstrated they don't have the culture nor security chops to actually engineer a system that could be trusted, IMO. Plus then there's all the microarchitectural leak vectors with a shared-CPU approach like that, and we know Intel have utterly failed there (not just Spectre; there was absolutely no excuse for L1TF and some of the others, and those really showed us just how security-oblivious Intel's design teams are).

Right now, the x86 world would probably do well to listen to Microsoft, since their Xbox division managed to coax AMD into actually putting out secure silicon (they're one of the two big companies doing proper silicon security at the consumer level, the other being Apple and Google trying to catch up as a distant third). But given the muted response to Pluton from the industry, and the poor way in which this is all being marketed and explained, I'm not sure I have much hope right now...
> Go submit some fake personal data and then see if it shows up anywhere else.

this is not a valid test, for a whole lot of reasons. especially not in terms of internet search engines.

One reason for this, is that the specific things you search aren't what's actually valuable. Companies use that data to make guesses about you. It's those guesses, not your specific search terms, that are used to profile you.

So why not just try to get yourself profiled a certain way? Search a bunch of stuff about a specific disease and click a bunch of the links and see if you start getting targeted ads about those diseases? Well, who is to say who sold that data? Was it the search engine, or the websites you clicked on?

Not all the data collected on you is used for targeted ads, and of course even when it is used for ads not all of those targeted ads demonstrate a proven link back to your search teams. If you see an ad for cheap airline tickets maybe it's because you've been searching for stuff about another country, or maybe some algorithm thinks your bipolar and entering a manic phase since they are more likely to buy tickets. Maybe it's just an ad for cheap airline tickets because the airline wants more people to fly right while weather warms. You can't know.

Better ways to test what DDG is doing behind the scenes might be things like get hired there in a central role. Have the government or an independent auditor review their data collection practices.
Not at all, please do research into projects before making unfounded claims. Windows can be ameliorated completely legally by doing the amelioration process manually and entering the key before running the scripts. (Guide on the ameliorated.info site)

It's admittedly (probably) not from Colorado, yeah. Though the important part you need to read is really the hours, since the other stuff doesn't tend to vary. Which they helpfully used a smaller font for, to make sure so you don't forget to squint at the most relevant part.

It's definitely distracting to have so much text, since you're still supposed to quickly read all of it, just in case it might say something other than what you expect. Not sure how that's supposed to work at 65+ mph.

There’s a couple of guesses I can make. First of all a lot of people are really tired of Elon Musk and don’t wanna hear about him. In general that’s where I am. So they flagged it (I didn’t).

Then there’s the hard-core Elon fans who don’t want to say anything bad about him. They probably flagged it too.

Some people are probably tired of this specific topic. There’s been a lot of stories about Elon Musk and Twitter over the last two days or so, why do we need one more? Everyone’s going to say mostly the same things anyway. Elon is right. Elon is an idiot. He’ll save twitter. He’ll ruin it. I hate twitter. Blah blah blah. So they flag it.

He provides a very unique and useful perspective, but it’s not clear from the headline. That probably doesn’t help. Sorry.
Because the small time staffing firm was the organization that was breaking the law.

All the big tech companies are:

* Employing the people to do actual work for the host company. E.g. A Google H-1B is doing work on google products, for google.

* Paying competitive salaries - you're not going to find anyone saying the FAANGs aren't paying top dollar

This "small time staffing firm" was paying below fair wage, and providing fraudulent documentation about the work they were doing.

If you're super concerned about the "H1-B visa pipeline" you shouldn't be looking at big tech. You should be looking at the "consulting" firms like Deloitte
The Atlantic should add this comment to the article as a TL;DR.
I doubt any researcher believes our response was completely optimal or that US lockdowns would have ever eliminated COVID.

So allowing controlled spread after a successful vaccination campaign while avoiding overwhelming hospitals was the long term strategy if vaccination never hit herd immunity. Yes, we had strings like mask mandates last winter, but public schools where open almost everywhere even as the number of new cases spiked to unprecedented levels. The core difference was the dramatic reduction in hospitalization rates meant the healthcare system could cope with a spike of that magnitude.
Definitely not the easiest product for an elevator pitch.

It’s complicated. They were very devoted parents, so my sisters adore them. But they’re quite religious and handled my coming out extremely poorly (definitely have some trauma from that). We have many philosophical disagreements which I’ve learned how to avoid. Now I think of them as friends—I’m not going to depend on them for anything, but we have a lot in common so I can legitimately have fun with them. I try to make it to their house for Scrabble night once a month.
> social networks are simply trying to extinguish shitstorms

Just rambling out loud, but perhaps Elon's superpower as the owner of Twitter might be having the luxury to care a whole lot less about user shitstorms.

Nobody has more Fuck-You money and ability to ignore a rabid mob than the richest guy on the planet.

At the very least, it could be very entertaining.
A long running problem with bootcamps is gaming placement rates by hiring graduates (often at salaries far below what their marketing suggests it possible). So any placement rates need to be quantified, since bootcamp students are interesting in become developers, not teachers.
I think swayvil's original point was that you could still speak of work you've done in the past. They said 'show' and 'personal', but I wouldn't take that so literally if your favorite project wasn't personal. Even if under NDA, and I'm a security consultant so I know all about those, usually it's still possible to discuss the general problem being solved and how you solved it, and have a good conversation about that.

That said, I do find this hard in interviews (when asked about past experience) and prefer to just be given a web application riddled with every type of bug and try to bingo them all in the time given to show that I understand them all. That one was my favorite interview. But that might just be a different style of interview for a different type of job.
It was a hard read for me, but incredibly enlightening. I must have highlighted over 40 different passages. At some point I plan to read it a second time, because there's a lot that I haven't fully digested yet.

In an odd way it's made me more empathetic to my parents, even though the memories are challenging. In my case it wasn't that they wanted to be emotionally unavailable, it's that they were dealing with their own immense internal turmoil, while still being essentially children emotionally.

EDIT: I just checked, I highlighted 116 passages.

You're not "forced" to sell it. You just have to pay a tax relative to its actual market value, as opposed to paying a tax on only the value you purchased it for plus negligible increases in your property tax percentage based on that rate.

Just pay the tax, and you're good to go, even if you never develop it. The idea of a LVT is to make it less palatable to let the land go unused or under-utilized.

I'm really successful. It shocks other people if I tell them the details about how bad my relationship was with my parents growing up, so I don't. I feel super lonely and alienated about it. I don't feel comfortable in the communities online where people talk about stuff like this because either I think their issue is too mild for them to understand my experience or I feel like my issues aren't bad enough to count. Someone once told me I seemed like a person who had never experienced personal hardships, ha. Only ever had one friend I could talk to about it. Wish I knew how to feel less lonely about it
Just like there is a speed that is too low on most roads, there absolutely should be a floor for skill level and risk tolerance. People who are very unskilled or too scared to bike normally, such that they impede the flow of traffic or put others at risk, should not be biking. Obviously step 1 is help them correct their behavior, of course--better to have them biking in the end.
