> Basically, showing empathy towards animals signals you would be empathetic to people too, which makes you a more desireable peer today.

My experience has been that those who "show" empathy towards animals are masking or overcompensating for their nastiness. It's a form of privileged virtue signaling. Adolf Hitler, a vegetarian, was renowned the world over for his empathy to animals. Not to nice to humans though.

> Empathy towards other beings is an extrapolation of civilisational developments.

No civilization was built on empathy. All civilizations are built of brutality - conquest, extermination, forced expulsions, destruction of environment, farming, etc. Civilization isn't a natural state of human affairs. No more than industrial farms are a natural state of affairs for bovine. If you can provide an example of any civilization that was built on empathy, I'd be interested.

> Another logical explanation is that without developing empathy for animals, majority of the people would not care for the disruption to the ecosystem (since many people are emotional more than rational).

You do realize that we destroy animals to prevent the destruction of the ecosystem. Look at the damage that invasive wild boars, cats, snakes, insects, fish, etc do. There are even campaigns to exterminate these animals. Where do they factor in your empathy? Not to mention disease spreading mosquitos who are just doing what they are naturally programmed to do. Should they be exterminated?
It has more to do with the idea that authorities will decide what they want to do then recruit words from anywhere they can find to justify it, than it has to do with what those words say. (See also: Crusaders using Jesus as a rallying symbol for mass killings of civilians, 1920s American eugenicists using the science of heredity to justify racism followed by 1930s Nazis who developed on the theme, 1980s Regan administration selectively using basic economic ideas to dismantle public welfare, while staying silent about corporate welfare.)

The taxes aren't anywhere near close enough to make up the difference. You'd need to impose a hefty extra tax to level the playing field.

Which might well be a good idea. But it would be enough to significantly alter the economics of transportation.
you could say the same about anything.
Installing solar or wind power isn't natural part of the environment, and "something" could go wrong, better not do that either.
Of course, even a B1 isn't a tourist visa. A B2 (US tourist visa) specifically doesn't include non-social events.

In any case, in most countries whether explicit or implicit that distinction is probably the right one. Of course, no one is going to care or know if you check some emails and do some work--just like no one cared if you made some phone calls and did some work years ago.

But, in most places, you probably shouldn't show up and say you'll be spending the next 90 days working remotely.
So the pyramid should be inverted?
Your entire comment is slicing and dicing. Making claims about what is "a more accurate reflection of the culture" is slicing and dicing.

Just stand up for what you believe in. Stop trying to speak on behalf of "the culture" which is in most ways not accurately knowable, and even if it was, is of dubious significance. Most major shifts in societies (not all, but most) occur in opposition to "the culture".
Merge+Diff: Building Dags More Efficiently and Elegantly
Considering their github repo (the outdated one) still says "open-source" while their website does not, I'd expect some official statement on the move and the reasons why. I think it's the bare minimum of transparency, especially for early users who started using it because it was open source
Claiming Boring is only a marketing company is not accurate. Even the first maschine they used was modified. The are are building their own now and they just raised 600M to finish engineering on Prufrock-3 and go into real production.

Just as with other Musk companies, the first version isn't that amazing and people fall over themselves laughting declaring how it will never work and never be practical and how they will never manage to produce them in real numbers.

So its basically like Falcon 1 and Tesla Roaster/Model S.

The leader of Boring is an engineer who was doing well at Tesla.

I think in 5-10 years it will be a very significant comapny.
I am pretty sure they're saying $200k before taxes. It's equivalent wage in Germany would be 150k€, as the employer has to pay about 21% on top of the salary for social securities.

I agree that these numbers always sound outlandish (I'm from Germany too), but they do seem to be true. Do keep in mind that while the wage gap is bad here, its several times worse in the USA.
> I'm living in the hot "tech center of Europe" (Berlin) and I'm yet to see (much less receive) any offer above 90k€/year.

European compensation is lower. Sorry, I shouldn't be generalizing to United States like I did.

That said, in Berlin your options for high comp are largely limited to the big tech companies. You can get some hints here: https://techpays.eu/europe/germany# (sort by total compensation).

My suggestion, if you really want to get those high value offers, is to identify the best paying names on that list and start applying now. Stripe, Shopify, Twitter, other big tech US remote companies primarily. Work with their recruiters to optimize your CV and update your study skills. Use the interviews as practice and feedback, because it will be better than just about any advice we can give you online.

Whatever you do, don't pay some rando from HN huge amounts of money for help. All of the information about interviewing at big tech companies is out there for free. Plenty of prep material to study from.
There's a good chance you'd trigger the failsafe though, right?

> Which means that having a law that says teaching human sexuality can't happen is impossible to do without turning the teachers into uncaring robot like beings.

How archetypally liberal to define the difference between humans and “uncaring robot like beings” in terms of being able to talk about “human sexuality.” It’s really an obsession isn’t it.
"Not being able to transact GME" is one thing, but they disabled the ability to buy, and kept the ability to sell. It wasn't a symmetric freeze - it was a deliberate action that could only have one outcome on the stock price.

It doesn't matter what the reason is - underfunded collateral or otherwise. The experience they provided to their customers was "you can only sell this stock, nobody can buy it." That's not their customers' fault. It just isn't.

Also, not for nothing, I don't think that many of the larger retail traders in e.g. /r/superstonk are as confused about clearing houses' role as you believe them to be.
I think the same might be true elsewhere (e.g.,USA). The at-home tests created a blind spot.

Mortgages were a large part of the credit bubble prior to 2008, but very far from the only part. It also extended to consumer credit, leveraged loans, bank and insurer funding, more or less every credit market. And mortgages are and were a much larger part of the economy too than VC is now. This isn't to say VC hasn't experienced a bubble over the past few years or that there won't be a broader downturn, just that I'm pretty sure VC won't be something which causes contagion like that.
Which is interesting to note since a majority of the other weapons the former Soviet Union had made their way into several revolutions happening in the Middle East and Africa via several well known international arms dealers.

Not sure if it was just operationally unfeasible to move something like a ballistic nuclear weapon, but from what I can gather, it was one of the few things that wasn't sold off en masse after the collapse.
> Lastly, you example is of a kid acting like a feral animal - by the time you get to the point it seems something has already royally fucked up

Toddlers skip directly to that point with varying frequency and intensity depending on the child. Some will do it for obvious reasons, some will do it for less obvious ones. Some will do it literally at random. It would be great if all toddlers followed a step wise progression from obvious stressor to obvious meltdown, like you read about in the common parenting books, but that's not how they all work.

Of course there are bad parents out there too. But theres also plenty of parents who do everything by the book, never spank, set clear boundaries with clear signals and set good routines. And they get rewarded with random slug fests that come out of nowhere. Parenting is an unimaginably challenging experience for these folks and there's little they can do about it.

Why shouldn't they be entitled to use the product fully without being bound by the EULA? Unconscionability could be at play here.
I've personally worked with people who I know made 6-figures of total comp in Germany. Checking the relatively-new https://techpays.eu/, there are plenty of 6-figure entries for Germany. I'm not saying this means it's the norm, just that it's achievable for people whose posts make it to the front page of Hacker News.

You mentioned taxes. When people talk about comp in the US, we aren't taking out taxes. Effective tax rate (federal+state+fica) for a single individual making $200k of salary+bonus is ~30% here. That would turn $200k into $140k take home.
> You can't just pay someone a salary then say "oh yeah you need to wear this pager at the weekend".

It seems to be the case in every job I've had. Maybe they ARE adhering to some laws but at the end of the day I get paid a salary, and I have on-call evenings+weekends which I don't select. I can swap shifts, but it's my responsibility to find a substitute. I average 4-5 shifts/months.

As far as I know, all of FANGetc is like this. It may be the case that labor laws permit this. Still miserable.
The guiding logic here is 'it would be boring to have a discussion of X on the front page every day'. For many X, there's infinitely many things to say but the front page is finite and has a goal of not being boring. HN's been moderated like that for ages and it seems to work reasonably well.
Always great to read this. I preformed a jenkins test on Microsoft internal infra and it's a huge insight. From an academic side it's just as interesting looking into the lack of standards within consistently and the definitions of them.

It uses XML, which requires a library for browser JavaScript (EDIT: not true, see comment below), when filesystem operations don't really need to be more complicated than vanilla fetch requests. Also uses special HTTP methods, which isn't ideal. I've heard people say that various implementations are often incompatible with each other in some ways. I'm not sure how big of a problem this actually is in practice, but see for example this readme[0] which explicitly says the library doesn't seek to be compatible with RFCs, but rather with implementations in the wild. That's a red flag to me. See also [1].

Trying to use a subset is an interesting idea, but the technical problem being solved is simple enough that I don't see a strong reason not to just greenfield it and make a bunch of nice improvements along with the critical ones.

The Gotthard Base Tunnel was voted on in 1992 and work started in 1999. It was finished 2016. Switzerland plans very long ahead into the future even for local transportation systems. A lot of time is invested in planning which pays out big time in the end.

This project is under evaluation in some Cantons (St. Gallen and Thurgau) for viability and may never be completed.
Sounds like a startup idea...

Write to the company and ask for clarification and an option to opt-out.

This has three benefits: 1) they may give you additional information what exactly they are doing 2) they get information that their customers find it suspicious and may clarify it for everyone and 3) they may actually add an option to opt out

I haven't played with hackintosh in like 12 years. It was a hassle then a couple years after I stopped I got a real imac.

I'm not sure what the current deal with hackintosh is, but I'm vaguely under the impression that there's at least one that is open source, then there's an open source boot loader rEFInd as well.

Hopefully someone can confirm or refute my impression.
> "Not being able to transact GME" is one thing, but they disabled the ability to buy, and kept the ability to sell. It wasn't a symmetric freeze - it was a deliberate action that could only have one outcome on the stock price.

Because Robinhood didn't have enough margin to keep buying GME.

But if you sold GME, that reduced the margin Robinhood had to keep.

-------

In other words: Robinhood has no more money to buy GME on behalf of its customers. It could sell however, because selling unwound Robinhood's GME position.

Robinhood (and Robinhood's partners) are "on the hook" for all GME for the 2-days in the T-2 transaction period of modern US trading law. Trades take 2 days to take place, so somebody needs to be "the risky bagholder" whenever a stock's price changes dramatically.

Robinhood only had enough money to support X amount of buys. When that money ran out, Robinhood was unable to buy, and could only sell GME.

Of course, this only happened for 2 days as the stocks / money exchanged hands. But 2 days is apparently an eternity and none of these stock buyers were buying GME for the long term, just for the hype of it all. So it was all over by the time Robinhood was able to buy again.
That is likely a fair assumption, but an assumption nonetheless. There exists marketing data which does not identify individuals.

That's all very well in theory, but what classes would you use to replace sex in practice?

For example, in a recent women's swimming competition, Lia Thomas, who is male, was permitted to compete on the basis of his gender identity claims.

Do you consider gender identity to be a reasonable method of categorization? Because that is the specific problematic issue here, not whether different attributes than sex could be used in general.
The EULA is talking about information about each of those individual items. It may make more sense if you format it like this:

* content; and

* peripherals
> where is the f-string described as suboptimal?

I guess it's implicit in that f-strings, as arguments, will be evaluated before the logging function can even run whereas `debug("...", heavy_obj)` will avoid a potentially expensive `str(heavy_obj)` (or whatever the string conversion warrants.)

As for raiseExceptions, I'm not sure it's for optimization. It looks like an old sanity check for bad logging configurations.
Didn't know this was a thing, my whole life is a lie!
> what is your biggest worry for society?

Climate change, wealth gaps, and both combined. (Richer people can escape the effects of climate change more easily). I fear that wealth will become even more important, furthering the gap between classes even more.

> what does society mean to you

Depends on what context. Of course for my direct political environment, people living in the same country as I are the biggest society I can lump together. But I'm not very nationalistic so I try to think about what's best for people globally. I think the most important society to me is all humans on earth. Else, every nation or group just looks after themselves.

> would you consider in the context of your reply that there may be different perspectives

Yes, but - I fail to see what group of people transsexuality would be the biggest danger to. Even when it goes against your world-view or religion, there is no harm done at all when someone is transsexual. It just goes against ones opinions.

That's why I disagree heavily with the sentiment that "when men turn into women, that is a sign that the end is near". If transsexuality is more dangerous to a person than climate change, social injustice or other big topics, it really just does feel like fear-mongering and blaming arbitrary boogeymen for what's going wrong at the moment.
> Almost all serious tracing GCs include some aspect of reference counting

I don't know about the Java world but in Common Lisp GC there's no reference counting whatsoever.
Last night I posted a comment on another forum on the topic of this particular addiction which I'll paraphrase here:

Work with a therapist who treats addiction, doesn't have to specifically be porn addiction. Look up 12 step meetings for sex addiction or love addiction (there isn't a specific 12 step group for porn addiction) in your timezone, join meetings in person or online. Listen, talk and share. It works if you work it. No religious beliefs required. Life on the other side of addiction is really something else.

Happy to answer any questions from you or anyone else either in replies or privately if you share a means of contact.
The page I linked lists quite a uses cases that would become possible/easier with a new protocol.

To your specific concerns, object storage systems like S3 don't support partial writes to files, which makes FUSE mounts a leaky abstraction. SSHFS is much better, but obviously can't be used in web apps.

I'm not saying we need to replace existing protocols, but we need one that can work in a more diverse set of use cases.

This is always the counter argument but I never see any mediatic outrage towards Oil&Gas except for the odd Oil spill and the periodic outrage at fuel prices on every crude price rise.

Policy measures forcing Oil&Gas to clean-up or to internalize the environmental costs of emissions are _never_ part of public debate and to me that is worrying.
I see, you were talking about closing costs. Yeah I fully fund retirement plus I bonds plus sick some away in after tax account and kids 529. So I think I am investing the difference now.

> Behind the scenes, Lion is when Apple introduced Automatic Reference Counting.

Hm. I've never written anything serious for Apple platforms but of course played around for a bit. But, I've always assumed ARC is implemented purely in the compiler, isn't it? I remember disassembling something I wrote and learning that the compiler inserted retain/release calls as necessary.

> Which is why I run Mavericks.

Actually, I ran Mavericks for several years after it was superseded. I was made fun of by some people (who complained about glitchy WiFi on Yosemite, lol). Had to finally update when I got a new job and needed to compile an iOS app, which required latest Xcode, which required latest macOS. Then I stayed on Mojave for like 2 more years, refusing to update to Catalina to keep using 32-bit apps. And then several months ago I bought an M1 Max MacBook, which means Monterey.

All this is ... well, not ironic, but an odd reversal of recent discoveries that stuff we think of as historical development goes back much, much farther than we had ever imagined. Gobekli Tepe is the poster child, 11,000 ya, but what had been thought a very big hill in Java, Gunung Padang, turns out to have been constructed c. 22,000 ya. Nascent military fortification at Jericho 9000 ya.

And we have a world-altering comet strike right about 10,818 BCE, about a thousand years before Gobekli Tepe, pretty close to one of the other Tepes.

Millions of square miles of sea floor abutting Indonesian islands, between Australia and New Guinea, and under the South China Sea connecting Korea with Taiwan and Vietnam, off India, and the whole Persian Gulf were lush bottom land that started to vanish under the waves some 20,000 ya. No knowing what might have been constructed on all that, but the oldest cities we know of started right upriver from some of it.

I'm not confused why they did what they did. I understand the situation they were in. I'm saying they shouldn't have done it, and that there is an obvious conflict of interest when there's a short squeeze on hedge funds going on, and Robin Hood's paying customers are hedge funds.

Stock freezes happen. They are, all things considered, fairly routine affairs. This was not a stock freeze - it was a company that got out over its skis, ran out of money, and screwed their users to ~unfuck the situation~ unwind their position.
