>Managers don't care.

It's funny how concepts that get repeated a million times in "how to be a boss" type threads are completely forgotten in "my job sucks" ones. Case in point: CULTURE COMES FROM THE TOP.

Your managers are the ones closest to you in setting the culture, and they're telling you to stop caring. Take the hint, just like they'd want you to take the (common at many many companies) hint that they aren't going to fire you, but it's time for you to move on to your next job.
Probably. But I feel like there's something in Google's current culture that leads to this. I've mostly had these conversations with people from the search and cloud PAs. Could be different in other orgs. Maybe I just got extremely lucky with my pre-Goog jobs that were ultra satisfying and challenging in a good way, I just had a blast coming to work every day and doing the work.
> For perspective, the previous president of El Salvador is in exile for his alleged role in the embezzlement of $300+ million.

All of those cases were discovered and judged thanks to:

a) The separation of the Executive/Legislative/Judicial powers

b) The Public Access Information Law.

c) The help of independent journalism

I don't agree with removing the checks and balances that helped discovered these cases in the first place.

The first two a) and b) have been dismantled by the current administration in the past year.

The third, c), independent journalism, is constantly under attack from government and allied media outlets and influencers.

Just a couple of weeks ago, the Head of Congress told the independent press "to go away". This happened live, on the podium, while presiding a session.

Quoting what the Head of Congress said:

"Ask for asylum. Get asylum and go way Go away. You don't contribute anything here.... We don't need you. Go away. "

This was around about the same time when congress approved a law that punishes (with prison) certain kinds of reporting about gangs.

The Free Speech of the 1st Amendment, not only only applies to government entities, it is not absolute. Obscenity, fighting words, defamation (including libel and slander), child pornography, perjury, blackmail, incitement to imminent lawless action, threats and solicitations to commit crimes are not protected speech. They are examples of restricted speech, and according to you, there "is nothing more tyrannical than restricting speech." Death to tyrants restricting you from producing child pornography, right? The Founders' intention of the Bill of Rights is only and only can be a restriction on what the government can and can't do in regards to an individual's freedoms. If the Founders were here today, they would insist that the 1st Amendment does not extend to limit the freedom od business or private citizens. I can censor you and you can censor me, and it is is our right and our freedom to do so. The government, and only the government, can not. This is intentional. Don't like Twitter censuring you? Start your own company that promotes your own political ideals. You are free to do so.

For anyone looking for a doc generation tool:

I was lately evaluating several tools like VuePress, Docusaurus and AsciiDoc.

I ended up using Mkdocs Material (https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/). If you haven't already, have a look. I think it is pretty impressive. From tags, tabs to the fantastic built-in search ...

Ask HN: People doing research, how do you structure your day?
Research maybe academic (PhD, MSc) or industry (R&D).

1. How do you plan your day/week/month..., if at all?

2. How much do you read? Outside your field, like good fiction books?

3. Exercise?

4. Side projects/business for extra income?
You forgot the fourth: file I/O, and wider coverage by JavaScript thereof

Appealing to the history of immigration in the country doesn't diminish the GP's point as the US has discriminated against the origins and identities of immigrants since its founding.

>The Naturalization Act of 1790 (1 Stat. 103, enacted March 26, 1790) was a law of the United States Congress that set the first uniform rules for the granting of United States citizenship by naturalization. The law limited naturalization to "free White person(s) ... of good character", thus excluding Native Americans, indentured servants, slaves, free black people and later Asians, although free black people were allowed citizenship at the state level in a number of states. [1]

Race based citizenship remained the law until United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898) [2] where the Supreme Court interpreted the "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" clause of the 14th Amendment to meant that anyone physically born in the country was automatically granted citizenship. Race-neutral naturalization wasn't enacted until the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 [3] and racial discrimination and national original based immigration (not permanent residency as should be obvious) controls weren't banned until the Hart–Celler Act in 1965 [4].

Agree - it seems like the person self selected to be on a tremendously challenging/ambitious/ambiguous project that might have been more of a side initiative for Google so it could watch/influence/keep tabs on the standard.

Like more of a cost center and less a profit center for Chrome.

I'm sure there are less stressful but perhaps less visible groups in Google that could have been switched to.

Also seems as much of an issue w.r.t. the competitive/co-opetion nature of the standards working group.

> Storing data is not free and if you plan to use this data for anything it can definitely be not cheap

I think there are a lot of companies that are not running out of money and are holding on to a lot of data that might, someday, be valuable. Look at Google's features like spelling correction or search term suggestions - they likely used huge troves of semi-anonymous user input to develop and support them.

> When you extrapolate this to the scale of a service like Facebook or Google it becomes insanely expensive

This is just not true. Backblaze is putting their storage cost at ~$0.035 a gigabyte[1], which means you can store a megabyte of data for every human on earth for a bit under $300k a year (about 8 petabytes). Big companies probably can get even lower. This isn't...a negligible cost, but it's very normal at that scale. Google only has ~4.5 billion users and most companies have orders of magnitude fewer.

We aren't fully there yet but something like .NET Blazor demonstrates the potential. Once we've over the hump I expect an explosion of alternatives.
Plaid Cofounder Buys NorCal Bank, Renames It “Column”
I agree it’s entirely out of bounds to complain about noise from operationally necessary aircraft operations (operationally needed for flight, not that the operational need for the flight is subject to review).

I’m a lot more sympathetic to noise complaints against 2700 RPM (prop tips nearly the speed of sound), high-power, low passes that have no operational need.
I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you.
I am curious why a curriculum in the US includes four courses on calculus. Why isn't this just part of maybe three analysis courses for undergraduate studies?
3 car lengths seems way too close to be following at highways speeds. Assuming a car is about 16 ft long, that gives you less than half a second of reaction time at 70 mph. Even at 25 mph, it's still less than 1.5 seconds.

I very much prefer to be 3 SECONDS behind the person in front of me. It's a nice metric that works at basically all speeds above 30.
This is what I'm talking about. Not persuaded though that "shedding" does not happen.

> when they can just as well leave the choice to somebody else, at exactly zero cost.

This is where the confusion lies. “Zero cost” here means “it’s a few lines of code, a few cpu cycles to handle it. What’s the big deal?”

But I’m not talking about a few lines of code or cpu cycles, I’m talking about developer time. Leaving the decision to someone else may take little no time to you, today, but might incur a steep cost on someone else’s time tomorrow. Even worse is when you, with deep domain knowledge, tempt a far less knowledgeable dev into “handling” an error at a time and in a place that will be difficult or impossible to handle, wasting their time.
> * One because the elected Republicans fought to deny Obama the nomination

Actually, this rule, the so-called "Biden Rule" was created by Joe Biden in 1992 in explaining his refusal to "confirm any election-year Bush nominees leaned explicitly on the different standards applicable to divided government" [1]

> Were there a vacancy, Biden argued, Bush should “not name a nominee until after the November election is completed,” and if he did, “the Senate Judiciary Committee should seriously consider not scheduling confirmation hearings on the nomination until after the political campaign season is over.”
U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonin Scalia. (J. Scott Applewhite/AP) [2]

> “Senate consideration of a nominee under these circumstances is not fair to the president, to the nominee, or to the Senate itself,” he continued. “Where the nation should be treated to a consideration of constitutional philosophy, all it will get in such circumstances is partisan bickering and political posturing from both parties and from both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.” [2]

The Republican party might have a better defense if their platform in the last election weren't literally "we support whatever Donald Trump wants" [0] . That way, the American people would have any way to tell whether their loudest (and most divisive) voices were representative of the larger party on any given position, rather than just having to assume they are.

You're probably thinking of Ground Effect Vehicles (sometimes Ekranoplans). The Russians built lots, not just as a concept, if you own a huge lake (not an ocean) they're somewhat practical for crossing it quickly. The Americans and Canadians (who also own some large lakes) have likewise built some of these.

The Ground Effect, as its name suggests, only exists near the ground, so in one sense you're "flying" but if the surface drops away you will fall too. Hence it's good on a lake or possibly open plains, but won't work on normal ground with rises and hills and so on, never mind buildings and trees.
On the Lytro, it had a filesystem with an image viewer for the raw data in the camera itself (plug it in and there's a disk that shows up). I'm not sure if the Illum had a similar tool for manipulating the raw data that was part of the camera that was sent.

I know I'm not qualified to speak on your decisions or life, and you probably know more about the situation but - why "not a snowball's chance in hell"?

People change, they get given second chances. I wouldn't mind giving a company a second chance, especially after they probably had a real kick-in-the-nuts because of their approach to your interview, since it most likely wasn't that easy to find another qualified MeteorJS dev.
Show HN: Vessel – Your Passport for the Internet
Share, yes absolutely. But also, keep in perspective, that these are ~$500K+ jobs and the (certainly smart) folks in these jobs can also move to other parts of google that arent as hard to deal with. So, it is understandable that others might not consider this to be a bad deal overall.
>Racism and Misogyny are actual forces in this country

As everybody knows off course, only the things you hate are actual and real, and you're being noble and virtuous by talking about them. While the things your opponents hate are disinformation and a mirage, and they're being hysteric and alarmist by talking about them.
A long time ago when I downloaded a simulator I naively assumed it would faithfully simulate the inner workings of the plane (and even run the actual software that the real flight computers ran) - if I pull this circuit breaker, what happens? If I flip it 10 times quickly, does it mess up the network and break everything? I was rather disappointed that it just blanked the screens and they came back up instantly as soon as the power bus was re-powered.

Another way to say: don't let me into any airplane's cockpit - not just because I'll crash it, but because I'll manage to break it on the ground before it even has a chance of flying.
Hey HN, we here at Stytch (https://stytch.com/) are super excited to launch Vessel today! Vessel is a fully non-custodial digital passport and multi-chain crypto wallet. With Vessel, we’ve imagined what a passport for the internet would look like. We’ve combined the best of Web2 authentication innovations to simplify account creation and data provisioning with the power of Web3 wallet architectures, to condense authentication, identity (e.g. NFTs), and payments into a single browser extension.

Starting today, Vessel is now in public beta and anyone can download Vessel and start using it right away! This is a huge step for us in our mission to eliminate friction from the internet, and we’re thrilled to have you join us. We'd love to hear your feedback!
I know. But it's not just about the community it's more about the commitment and consistency.
Can you explain what incentive someone has to "manipulate" us into no longer using the term slave, if not genuine discomfort?
And/or using it ironically, as he does.
Some people feel like "their" is plural and therefore invented a singular gender-neutral pronoun.

All trapped energy has to escape when compromised...
Egads, yeah. There's so many use cases that no standard can accomplish all of them. USB-C tries, and even it failed to cover some pretty big use cases. If I were to try to list out qualities that a USB-C port could have, I can come up with several different features.

0. Base level. No significant power draw in either direction. No significant data flow in either direction. I'll label this as the USB-A solution.

1. Significant power draw, recipient.

2. Significant power draw, provider.

4. Significant data throughput, recipient.

8. Significant data throughput, provider.

Between these, there's 16 different combinations, and pretty much all of them exist. As an exercise, I tried to see if I could come up with reasonable examples for every one of them.

0. Every single USB-A device.

1. Phone charger, typical use.

2. Wall wart for a phone charger.

3. Rechargeable battery.

4. Monitor with dedicated power supply

5. Monitor without dedicated power supply

6. Charge a phone while playing video from it.

7. External tablet, currently in use streaming video from a Raspberry Pi, Raspberry Pi powered via the tablet.

8. Desktop graphics card.

9. External graphics card.

10. Desktop Graphics card powering a single-cord monitor.

11. External graphics card powering a single-cord monitor.

12. High-speed external storage.

13. High-speed external storage without a dedicated power supply.

14. First in a daisy-chained series of monitors, with a dedicated power supply.

15. USB-C hub

Which comes back to why there are no decent USB-C hubs, because every single port would be expected to be effective at every single task. Which is ludicrous, and strikes me as why there are no good USB-C hubs, because it's a Herculean task.

USB-A did a lot of things incredibly well (non-streaming data transfer, peripheral management), and a lot of things relatively poorly (device charging, video display). USB-C tried to improve on the aspects that USB-A was bad at, and made an absolute mess of the things that USB-A was good at.

The problem of camera diversity is not limited to open source either, because a similar infrastructure to handle all the different cases must be replicated by closed drivers as well. I don't know about Macs, but the Surface laptop is a Windows beast.

Yes, for a time I committed to learning hanzi on memrise. No only did I get better at the recall, I got better at learning how to learn about recall. Rather than experiencing a linear improvement in recall as I worked through the material, I got better at learning new characters as well. It wasn't clear if I was generally improving at recall in a global sense, or that this was a domain-specific improvement (say by learning to chunk at the level of radicals) or a bit of both. Regardless, the phenomenon had a noticeable effect.

In my academic experience, teachers and professors were so adamant about not memorizing that I had under-utilized it as a skill. It was nice to employ it for once even if just to learn that it is a skill that can be improved.

I don't think the GOP is a unified bloc. I think it is beholden to a vocal minority without whom they wouldnt win elections because running on their last 20 years of policy alone hasnt worked. If we destroyed the current political parties and had everyone in government rerun as independents, that vocal minority would still find a political foothold.
> it's like we're splitting into two different species.

Or nations. A lot of the turmoil in Eastern Europe since the 90s is related to certain nations considering themselves distinct, and other nations refusing to entertain it. The former group will fight for their liberty and the latter group will try to conquer and absorb them.

Will the same happen in the US? I see the African Americans being their own unique North American nation with associated food, music and culture, but also being part of the dominant American national culture. Not many of them appear to want to be fully separate, black nationalist extremists aside.

If heartland white Americans attempted to distinguish themselves as a separate nation, it would be civil war 2, but fuelled by nationalism as opposed to slavery, traditionalism and states rights.
LOL. I could sympathize otherwise.

But here this could be case of of person less talented the pizza delivery person, having very classist attitude, looking to settle in explicitly racist country by their own admission.
