It does appear Coinbase is paying severance to folks who hadn't started yet- so that is a plus. I have no idea if it is really "generous" as they claim in their blog post, though.

Windows drivers are regularly hundreds of megabytes if not gigabytes of vendor-applied value-added trash. There's no way they could cram them all into the OS. And it's never been the case that Microsoft tries to provide tons of drivers out of the box.

Also, you're supposed to be using the machine's restore functionality. You're not supposed to install the OS your own way. It's been this way forever. You installing your own OS is not what Microsoft cares about.

I remember before 9/11 you'd rarely see that banner.

It truly meant serious shit. Like explosions or shootings.

Now you see it for stupid petty (in the grand scheme of things) shit like Johnny Depp and Amber Heard's court battle.

And before some of you get your knickers in a knot not saying Johnny Depp's suffering ain't important, but before you'd only see the banner at the end of the trial, not during every fucking court event.

Heck, I remember only seeing the banner at the end of OJ's trial and during the white bronco chase.

That's it. And that's for a murder trial. Not for a spousal abuse trial. Motherfuckers had to literally die to see that banner.

That banner had serious gravitas.

Now, I'm conditioned to ignore it most of the time.
> You have to be "unemployed through no fault of your own" to be eligible for unemployment.

Technically, yes, but the system is so overwhelmed in many locations that unemployment requests are almost automatically approved. You have to work hard to appeal it after the fact and a lot of employers just give up.
I'd guess the "no politics at work" thing probably helped reduce the number of layoffs coming, if anything.
Pot odds are just the ratio of the current bet to size of the pot.

If you have not yet made your hand (e.g. only 4 spades) then you consider your drawing odds, which is the chance of making your hand.

But say there is a pair on the board. Then you need to consider the probability that your opponent has or will make a full house, which would beat your flush if you were to hit. Likewise the probability that someone will have a higher flush than you.

Analyzing this in aggregate is what gives you the expected value, which is what poker players consider.

If you are simply playing a cash game with unlimited buy-ins. Then assuming your overall bankroll is sufficient, you will always make plays with positive expected value, even with high variance, because it is a continuous game and you expect the total return to be positive over sufficient iterations.

If you are playing a tournament with a set number of places in the money, then you need to take into account the variance as well as the expected return because it is an episodic game and the types of plays you will make will depend on not just expected value of the single play but what place you are in currently and the number of players left.
The advice in these types of economic times from VCs etc. is to get to default-alive, e.g. a viable shot at cash flow positive before the money you have in the bank is gone.

While that view is understandable, can folks think of companies who did 20% type layoffs at the eve of bad times, e.g. 2001 or 2008, and then became market leaders, expanding as the market recovered?

I know Coinbase is not a typical startup given their IPO but they are a startup in other senses.

It kind of seems like a pointless middle finger to a situation in which... doing exactly this fork is permitted in the first place. Upstream GNU Emacs is already on a forge, putting it on GitHub doesn't seem to have much point beyond "because I can".

Maybe he doesn't like the copyright assignment requirement? Fair, maybe, but I personally think it's not a big deal.

"Commit rights" sounds like the bad old days of CVS/SVN. Send a pull request to GNU Emacs, get rejected or accepted. It's a lot easier nowadays.
That's a stat for Federal prisons - it's a completely different set of laws and crimes than state and local laws, and only 10% Americans incarcerated are in federal prisons.

Here's a breakdown by most serious offense for my state's prison system:

https://www.doc.sc.gov/research/InmatePopulationStats/ASOF-M...

Which has 16% drugs, but also:

26% homicide, 12% Robbery, 11% Burglary, 9.5% Rape/Sexual assault, 6.6% Kidnapping, 6.4% Assault.

I wrote an blog post a while back about how prison populations skew so much towards the most violent crimes.

It'll be interesting to see how this issue evolves with more american-born Indians entering the workforce. Hopefully it'll fade like a lot of other old-fashioned discrimination has.
If you mean 50% of the india-based team was female, rather than all of the 50% of the team that were based in india, that shouldn’t be surprising?
The problem is "affirmative action" is just reverse discrimination and this is why it bring further division. Because people from both sides now, no longer feel reward is based on merit alone anymore.

If there is another solution than "affirmative action" this might not be divisive.

What makes the "Product Manager" role tricky is every person and every organization has a wildly different sense of what they do.

You argue that there's not enough room in a person's brain for Software Engineering and Product Management, but "Product Management" often includes planning, strategy, coordination, vision, culture, anything vaguely leadership, and general "adulting". To call all of that mushed together a "discipline" makes no sense.

Skills like coordination and vision are just as orthogonal from each-other as software engineering.

As a result the best PMs are often those who know what control to give up to make the role / team function better.

I've even been on teams where engineers seem hesitant to organize fun events because it may be perceived as stepping on a PM's turf, which is absurd!

I think teams and PMs would benefit from splitting up the role. I'd love to see the creation of roles like "Associate Producer" (as borrowed from the film industry) that have a primary task of keeping things running smoothly without a strong focus on creative or technical leadership.
These are job ads, you can't go off on tangents in people's job ads on Who's Hiring threads either. All posts are not treated the same and this is one of the biggest not-same type of post on HN. Topicality is pretty important to HN threads. There's really no shortage of ways to be both on topic and say things about more or less any company, YC or not, on HN.

There are only two ways they can be losers: they are not GTO or the rake is higher than their winnings. Hold’em is pretty much solved (almost because approximations were used for bet sizing).

I had this same issue with family members having issues with a Pi-hole on our network. I solved the problem by setting up a Tailscale network and setting the Pi-hole as the default dns server[1]. Once set up its as simple as a turning the Tailscale connection on or off if the Pi-hole blocking causes any issues. (Plus blocking works from anywhere!)

What does “booting a secondary […] device” mean? Either you boot from a device, and that makes it the primary device, or you boot off another device, in which case this is now the primary device.

Or did you mean unlocking an encrypted device after unlocking and booting on the primary device? What does systemd have to do with that? Unless you want to type in the password manually every boot, you store the password (for the secondary device) on the primary device, add the password file to /etc/crypttab and be done with it, right?

I did read the beginning of the article and I wasn't too impressed. So I went through the comments, looking for bits of wisdom that might hint reading the whole article was worth it. Still, I wasn't impressed.
So the Govt doesnt always know who owns bits of land, there are companies who make it their business like this website to find out who owns what and they are used by supermarkets and other property related businesses for land bank purposes. One of the biggest databases of who owns what in this country belongs to a company not far from Swindon!

If you are a landowner, one of the ways to reduce your tax bill is to work with your neighbouring landowners, so a trust owns the land and it "gifts" some land, like a field to another trust in return for services previously undertaken. The point being there is no monetary value exchange, ie its not taxable. The only people who know about the arrangement will be the two trusts and the accountancy firm(s), and it will be a big name accountancy firm most of the time. I legally purchased this data from one landowner who relied on an inferior IT company to wipe their computers before reselling them as secondhand, and I simply restored all their data which is how I found out about the above. Ironically the Queen is a neighbour!

Other ways to reduce your tax bill is to say to the taxman, you have no money, but I have some antiques like a suit of armour or something historically of "national" interest I can offer as payment instead, HMRC will get the National Trust in to valuate it, HMRC say yes or no, and then on paper said antique is now owned by the National Trust. However the NT will say its best kept in its existing surroundings so keep hold of it for us, and we will pay you to look after it! You can spot some of these people because they have to open up their property at least one day a year to the public. It can be quite lucrative having the NT maintaining the upkeep of your family estate during lean times!

Coinbase as a business, at least one that is traded publicly, never made sense during off cycles for crypto at their current scale. It makes sense in that it'll still be a business, and can certainly still make money, but it's extremely seasonal. Coinbase during a crypto bear market might be "worth" 10-100x less than what it might be worth in a bull market.

As such, I imagine they'll have these wild swings every 4-6 years. I think many people don't realize just how incredibly stagnate and boring crypto is when it's not consuming every part of everyone's online identity. The bad news is that for companies like Coinbase they essentially have to drastically downsize every few years. The good news is that with proper planning, they can really make the profits from a bull market last.
I'm not sure that is the lesson to learn from this. I actually worked at a place that closed shop the first day of our new VP of Product.
For a moment I had to check whether this was my comment or not. I said almost the same thing, and it’s probably very true right now.
Yeah, the most common way for adverse possession to come into play is with boundary disputes - for example if you built part of your garage on your neighbor's land.

It's also become less necessary as accurate accounting of land has become more common.

> Nobody except the Crown can hold land in England.

It sounds like someone made up another meaning of "own" and given it a different name ("hold") to making the "owning" less good.

I can't imagine any situation where the Queen points at a piece of land and says "I'm having that" and people just accept it.

Playing both sides: How logistics real estate firms are moving into data centers
I often wonder about this, and have talked about this all with older colleagues. My sense is some things were the same, but others were really different.

Even looking at the peer review process: it was much more informal in the distant past, and maybe more akin to what happens today with invited papers in my experience, or with small open source software projects.

There were certaintly very petty but intense personal squabbles in the past but that's a bit different from the pervasive structural issues in science today.

At some level too, I don't care what it was like 100 years ago. I can still see the problems today.

My question (if I may), When people say the bytecode is "platform independent" I ask, exactly what platform is it being freed from?

The compiler?
The "cloud"?

And this goes back to my lack of understanding of what "publishing" a package means to Oracle and the ecosystem in general.

If I publish something on Maven, my guess is that it is transformed into bytecode directly, so that when I pull my package from a diff device the code can run.
In this case if the entire "internet" collapses then the only way to run my code would be a flashdrive with the .java file run via a compiler... unless there is a machine that has the JVM installed WITHOUT the compiler... THEN the bytecode is useful... Am I correct?
This is a much more respectful disagreement than the first reply and I appreciate the effort to lead the conversation to a civil direction, thanks

> I don't follow all of those, but the ones I have seen a lot from (especially Greenwald and Taibbi) seem to have abandoned even the pretense of doing news for pure commentary, and commentary that is usually pretty predictable in content from just the subject matter and the current alignment of political factions.

The parent post seems to be conflating punditry with news. Ironically, the very issue CNN et al are so incredibly guilty of...

Pundits can be interesting, entertaining, and at times even informative, but using them as a primary source of information seems suspect to me. Their worldviews are (usually, not subtly) skewed towards their ideologies, and they market and sell themselves to people who enjoy confirmation bias.

Parent poster may be a more informed consumer of punditry than most, but regardless this seems like an incredibly poor replacement for factual reporting.

> Your compiler doesn't/can't know expected extremes of a value.

Yes, it can! For one thing, it's a literal; it has one value; trivially, that's both extremes. But even leaving aside possibilities for anything new and smart, Rust has type inference so it knows what type a given literal has to be (or it doesn't; I have no objection to making the programmer be specific in that case).

I'm asking what problem you see arising from a policy like "`2u32` means 2 as a 32 bit unsigned integer, but `2` means 2 as whatever type is inferred, no defaulting, and we catch it at compile time when the literal can't be represented exactly in the type." (Ignoring simple path dependence - it would be a breaking change because it would make some expressions ambiguous where they relied on a lack of suffix meaning i32 or f64.)

> The type system becomes useful if/when you start to mix these numbers together.

As mentioned, I'm not objecting to the type system, or asking for any implicit conversions except a lossless(!) implicit conversion from the string the programmer typed to the datatype inferred by the type checker.
Not surprised.
