This is still a thing?

Most people are NOT independently wealthy, so to a high degree they join ANY team for the same reason: so they do not find themselves homeless when rent is due...

Unless you stop making comments like that, I will never upvote a comment you write ever again.

^that is certainly more 'toxic' than:

I disagree with your point. I think disagreements and negotiation with an employer are fine (to your point, one can even use the threat of quitting as part of said negotiation), but ultimatums just serve as an opportunity for the giver to imply that they have more power than the receiver, which is 'toxic' behavior
Currently, the title is "Twitter blocked my account for a tweet I did not make", and the first part of the post shows an appeal of the block.

It'd seem like a more direct title might be something like, "An unauthorized party posted using my Twitter account.". Or just, "My Twitter got hacked.".
The fantasies of the power elite of 100 years ago are rapidly becoming reality today.

Depending on context (GDPR, CCPA, etc) there are legal reasons to actually delete data when your users request to rather than simply mark the data as "deleted".

I understand OP's "I would not make any assumptions about implementation details to which I have no access." approach. That said though, I wouldn't expect any sort of "investigation", so my approach would probably be the same as most: "meh, delete it, change my password, revoke tokens and move on".

I've just been programming a lot since I was about 10 years old. Persist in doing anything for 25 years of your life and odds are you'll get decent at it.

I've never deliberately practiced or anything like that, just built stuff that I wanted to build.
Many kinds of plastics can't be recycled at all, not even downcycled. Thermoset plastics particularly, which includes almost everything made out of fiberglass (glass fibers in thermoset plastic matrix.) That stuff either gets thrown into a landfill, or ground up and burnt.
For the analysis part, I have to mention Elevate [1] here. It used to be a browser plugin for Strava and is now a free and open source desktop app, developed by one guy [2] in his spare time (as far as I know).

It does more than the Strava built-ins, but less than e.g. Golden Cheetah, while being much more approachable and easy to use than the latter. I'm not affiliated with the app or the developer (although I've donated for it because I really appreciate the product and the effort he is putting in).

Navvable | Founding Software Engineer | Full Time (Visa Ok) | San Francisco Bay Area (Hybrid)

Navvable is a venture-backed startup, building modern workflow SaaS for US immigration law firms. Immigration attorneys today are badly in need of better software, because their existing solutions require many time-consuming processes such as manual and duplicate data entry. Our goal is to become the single piece of software powering their entire practices, and streamline the day-to-day tasks to increase efficiency and improve client experience.

We are currently rounding out the founding team of engineers to develop our MVP. As a founding engineer, you will have the opportunity to build an impactful B2B SaaS product from the ground up, and along the way significantly influence both the engineering directions as well as the company culture.

Tech stack: TypeScript/React/Next.js/Go/Python (we are flexible with frontend, backend, or fullstack roles)

The single most important concept separating a good from a bad programmer is the concept of the invariant. Good code maintains (or anyway restores) invariants, bad code doesn't.

It is very easy to miss this because invariants are often not written down, and you have to discover them.

Related are preconditions and postconditions. Function A establishes postconditions that satisfy the following function B's preconditions.

Your goal maximizing merit of code is to ensure invariants, preconditions, and postconditions may be stated as simply as possible; and keep them satisfied.

Git is the first example that comes to my mind.

I'm aware that the concept can be difficult to grasp and that the cli commands seem weird at first.

Once it clicks however, it's an absolutely fantastic tool. I'm still often amazed by what is possible with selective resets, diffs, greps, and most impressively interactive rebases. It makes a lot of otherwise difficult tasks much easier, and more elegant.

Git is IMO one of the most important pieces of software made in the last couple of decades and should be celebrated more for it.
Random, but I interviewed at Knight Capital for a software engineering position a few weeks before this all went down. I was in London, so the interview was done over the phone. Picture me in the evening, handwriting C to solve some problem (the fog of time too thick to remember what that problem was), then reading out what I'd written, semicolons and all, to the interviewer. Because of course there was no shared doc. I did very badly. But then, so did they.
You can certainly criticize Google for taking someone at their word when that person issues an ultimatum, but then you’re tacitly admitting that the person offering the ultimatum is approaching the negotiation in bad faith. Google should not have to assume its employees are acting in bad faith when they communicate internally, especially when it comes to the future of that employee’s career.

The real question for your framing is: Should Google have to say, “ok that’s it for real this time, no take-backsies”? I think that google should never have to say this any time someone says “or else I quit” because the threat of quitting tells us that they’re not willing to continue operating within Google. I honestly don’t see the reasoning behind drawing the line anywhere else.

Will the war in Ukraine spell the end of neutrality for certain states?
If I say stealing a car is "criminal to the utmost degree" would you say "I'm sorry, but categorizing theft of property as criminal really dilutes the severity of real criminal violations that have actually happened"?

I ask this because "human rights" is a wide and varied collection of thoughts and ideas ranging from the right to not be sexually assaulted to the right to not have businesses you interact with sell data about your sexual behaviors.

My point is, the whole conversation is subjective. You're both wrong in the eyes of some people and completely reasonable and correct in the eyes of others. Just some helpful framing you might want to use before "whatabouting" when people's lives may literally be on the line for this information being disseminated in their home countries.

From the safety of my home in an exceedingly liberal state in the US, working for an employer with a decent track record for inclusivity, I would be Big Mad if my grindr data was sold. From Chechnya, I would be terrified for my safety, physically as well as at a job, in the same situation.

TL;dr- When people stop being hate-crimed or state-santioned-murdered for being gay, the community will stop "overreacting" to people outing us against our wishes.
A lot of reading. I started programming when I was in high school, but procrastinated hard on making project. So I read a lot of books about C, assembler, network, security, operating systems, algorithms. When I started doing projects in university, everything I did made sense conceptually. To this day, when I'm doing project, I can go left and right on the slider [Abstraction----Implementation], very easily, from the architecture of the whole systems, and the gritty details of the particular language and algorithms.
1. Don't hire someone without knowing who they are.
2. Be prepared to sue if it came to that.

If you're US based and hiring US employees, you'll already have plenty of personal info available to be able to pay them, so you're unlikely to not know who they are.

If you're hiring out contract workers via 1099s, this is part of the risk.

Ways to lower this risk:
- Meet in person before hiring.
- Check references.
- Check past work.

Also, if what you're actually worried about is someone launching a competing service, unless they have resources to Marketing, Sales, and Operations, it's unlikely to be so trivial as to just stand up your source code and have a viable business. And if it is that easy, you're probably not making any money now anyway.
My wife needs to eat red meat, otherwise she has very low iron levels.

Note: she does not like red meat, and we spent years and years trying to get her iron levels up without it. She started to have to get iron infusions, which are no fun at all.

All that stopped when she started eating red meat twice a week.

Yes, this is a very rare case, and I can imagine a future where red meat is provided as something like medicine for those few who really need it.

But some people do effectively need red meat.
And now that previous US President has been kicked off of Twitter, yet Russian President Vladimir Putin remains in good standing. Explain it.
She never gave Google any reason to believe that she had wanted to walk things back or change her mind. That's the nature of delivering an ultimatum by threatening to resign: you are explicitly offering an immediate end to the negotiation. Don't be surprised if management takes you at your word, they're not mind readers. If she wanted to signal to managers that she might not actually quit over this, then she shouldn't explicitly say that she will quit over this.
Yep! I love my city for a lot of reasons but stuff like this are some of my favorite bits of Chicagoland trivia.

What do you think would happen to an LGBT person in, say, Saudi Arabia? The answer is, "capital punishment, fines, public whipping, beatings, vigilante attacks, vigilante executions, torture, chemical castrations, imprisonment up to life and deportation." Those seem like they're well into the category of "real human violations."

This is also not a hypothetical situation -- something quite similar happened in Egypt a few years ago [1]. And that was using good old fashioned entrapment. The damage could have been far more significant with large-scale data analysis.

While I can't speak for OP: they likely feel comfortable posting about their gender/sexuality on here because they live in a place where that won't happen. And while HN is often less than progressive on LGBT issues, users here generally aren't calling for public executions. But not everyone lives in the US or Western Europe, and these people live under a genuine threat of death.

Nobody writes well written prose.

Everyone writes, then does a better or worse job of editing. Like code, prose tends to crystalize into smaller and higher quality pieces over time.

--- Process ---

Write all of your thoughts in a stream of consciousness flow, don't worry about how it looks, just get your thoughts out of your head, and into the storage medium of your choice. This frees up stack space in your brain.

Next - Iterate. Strategies you can use to help include:

Read it out loud to yourself. You'll immediately notice typos, grammatical and flow issues.

Walk away from it to gain some distance in time and space. When you come back you'll notice gaps or repetitions.

Repeat until you're happy.

> how our gut bacteria interact with them - or not - are one of the most interesting things i can think of

Well if you want a laugh then, try some L-Tryptophan, a few grams a day but you can do more spread out over the day.

You gut bacteria will turn it into serotonin and you'll know why serotonin is found in the outer shell of seeds. Lets just say it can give you a toilet experience much like having a hot spicy curry, you see serotonin irritates the gut in animals so the seeds get pooped out pretty much in tact so the plants can spread around, but serotonin can cause some tissues to sting enormously which is why curry can also sting.

The appeal process could have a security hole, it wouldn't be surprising if some request can be manipulated to seem as if you're appealing a Tweet of any content and have it trigger that automatic email. That's what it looks like to me given all else being true and the account wasn't really hacked.
> I don't like American suburbs for me personally

I'm not sure if this is really clear to people who don't live here, but I think it's important to note that 'suburbs' doesn't really mean just one thing. Portland is mostly suburbs, for example. I think it's tempting to think suburbia must be endless miles of tract housing with no business, no retail. While that happens, it's not at all universal.

> Can suburbs be designed to be more walkable/bikeable (I would actually be surprised if they aren't already)?

Can't speak for everywhere in the US, but in the places I've lived, this is standard. Part of the cost of building a house is putting sidewalks in. So the problem isn't walkability. The problem, where it exists, is a lack of anything to walk to. But that shouldn't be that hard to address -- knock down some houses and zone for commercial. Build small cities out of suburbs. (I expect that already happens, it certainly happened decades ago in places with long established suburbs).
No - it has to be more casual.

I don’t want to force people to join a/my/some club. I want to let my followers and friends see I plan to do a 80km ride Saturday morning and let them simply tag along. It could easily be integrated into the feed or as a separate section.

I’d argue social activity is one of the biggest opportunities for Strava to lock themselves in as the hub of all movement activity - but it requires supporting how people like to naturally organize in a local community.

I've only ever worked at places with self hosted Exchange for e-mail and groupware. As a client, I use Outlook Web Access (OWA) most of the time and I think it's fine. It's simple, feels reasonably snappy to me and I like having the same interface on all the different machines I need to login from. Sometimes, I need to reach for the desktop version of Outlook in a Windows VM to access options or features not accessible in OWA (or in the sluggish abomination that is Outlook for Mac). However, in the end I don't care all that much about my e-mail client because I use a simple inbox-zero-ish approach to e-mail and only really need Inbox and Archive folders (as well as a delete function). This works with every client.

To have an offline archive, I also have Apple Mail connected to my Exchange accounts. I never use the app itself but frequently use Spotlight to search for and preview e-mails. However, if I'm already working in OWA, I use the search function in there. In my experience, it works well and doesn't feel significantly slower than searching locally in my offline archive.

[Sidenote: I find it annoying to have to use Spotlight for local e-mail search instead of Alfred.app (which has been my universal search app for many years). Alas, Apple only allows access to the e-mail folder on MacOS for their own apps for some annoying reason these days.]

Outside of work, I have the same setup with Apple Mail and Spotlight for archival and search. As clients, I use K-9 on Android and Apple Mail or runbox7 on the desktop. The latter is the webmail app of Runbox, my e-mail provider of choice (I think the app is pretty good - and open source on https://github.com/runbox/runbox7 ).
No it's not. California and some large cities are. Most of the US isn't pants on head retarded like that. Try to leave the stupidity behind when you leave though.
Eventually, you go through all of the countries like this so that you have to deal with your own shit rather than shipping of to someone else. This would be the ideal thing would it not?

You could probably replace the usage of "time" with "increase in entropy", but it just makes it harder to understand WRT velocity. As your velocity increases, the entropy in the universe has increased as a result of whatever mechanism for acceleration is being used. If it's gas, then you are going from a nice, mostly orderly/low entropy liquid in a container, to a chaotic, high entropy gas that's now in the atmosphere.
Plastic recycling is simply not very practical in the current day. Solving that problem is certainly something we should strive for, but plastic isn't going anywhere any time soon. We need something to do with it today and the most environmentally friendly thing to do is to landfill it. If at some point in the future we have a good solution to recycle it, we'll know where to find it. But if we keep dumping it in the ocean we'll probably cause other disasters before we'd ever run out of empty space.
HAM is nice also because it helps you remember that someone could be listening at any time, a lesson we often forget.
The Untold Story of Disney’s $307M Bomb ‘John Carter'
I was a card-carrying ACLU member in the '80s, when that meant defending the speech rights of Nazis. I haven't evolved on that topic. So I can easily understand wanting to defend free speech in a culture that is "moderating" it. Buying Twitter is an effective approach to that. For me it's just a fanatasy, but it makes it easy to identify with Elon.
Ask HN: Is it wrong for Hollywood to make a WW3 movie based on current events?

You don't have to have debilitating problems to go see a therapist. This is one reason I think there's a fight against stigma about it. I think the simple rule of thumb is, if you're thinking you might want to get help with some issue, but don't want to bother friends, you could go see someone and talk to them and see how it goes.

Nowadays there's lots of apps to feel around in this space (I would look for apps addressing mood and mental wellness). I don't have any specific recommendations but it's another option if you just don't feel like going in to see someone in person at first.

You could also take a screening test (probably depression and/or anxiety):

If interface has a suspending method, the implementations will also be suspending.
But you can choose not to make any suspend calls in the method body.

Fees rising isn't the same as 'breaking'. Also this was clearly intentional marketing to promote their chain.

Fees would get that high on every single blockchain because the mint price was below the empirical market price, leaving gas prices as the only remaining market. The only difference is that it would be over faster on something with more tps. That's why it's obvious it was intentional.
