Very negative opinion of president-elect Joseph Biden.

Not going into politics on this site, limiting it to media coverage.

Frankly with the amount of slander he had going in his favor he could rightfully be called a victor of the election--if and only if he got more than 60%. The ballots were I think--not sure as time goes on, but I think--correct, but the slander was absurd.

To the point the media had many bad weeks trying to figure out what to talk about because Trump was no longer president, meaning they couldn't make 4 out of the 5 biggest daily headlines about him in varying levels of directness. Him, his past, his family, his nepotists, his administration, his legacy, his apocalyptic nuclear monarchy, his impeachment, his craziness, his uh coup I think they called it, literally ad nauseam.

Couldn't read the news, it was literally "ad nauseam", to the point of total disgust, and even then I bought into the bullshit to some degree. It was so copious, so much shit, you can't keep your mind clean of all that shit any more than you can keep your shoes clean if you're surrounded by dog feces like a foot of snow. Better to do what Thomas Jefferson said and not read any news at all, ever. It's back to the point it was in in the Spanish-American War, yellow journalism, shitty rags full of slander. Not even that, that would be better than this, just blogs manipulating every reader individually, visible A/B testing in eg Financial Times ("Larger" vs. "bigger", they let me see both versions of the same headline, incompetence), generated news...

Yellow bits. Yellow ones and yellow zeroes. Gray Lady? Not in the least, not gray at all. Haven't read what she says in many years, just too gross.

And guess what? If you refuse to let them in to your mind, in a way they stop existing. It's weird, it's a quantum-mechanical thing, just stop reading and they sort of just die. It's like applause in a theater, one person stops clapping and then there's four more clappings, that's it, dies very rapidly.

Why do you think it's in single or double digit "at best"? This is a huge problem in India and moving to US doesn't make a racist person inclusive automatically.
Hah! You beat me to it! I do agree with the overall sentiment however. I think it's important to see whether your relationship to a given social media is healthy or not. For me, my relationship to reddit, facebook, and twitter were unhealthy, so I deleted them. That's not going to be true for everyone; I definitely know people who use them in a positive, life-improving way, that's just not what was happening to me.
When I was homeless I have hitchhiked without using money, then slept in a ditch for weeks in Williston North Dakota where the oil industry was booming and no one performed background checks. After a few weeks of day labor (part time sleeping in a ditch, part time crashing with a generous but drunk ex-felon in a trailor) I had enough money for a train ticket to an extremely cheap midwestern city where I used my wages to buy a month in an AirBnB which allowed me to have a residence to do local factory work.

Regarding going out of country, I have joined a foreign militia prior that had some ex-cons in it, that did not require anything other than a plane ticket to join. I did not know the language, but learned (some of it) along the way. Travelling extensively you learn to communicate without knowing much of the language. I believe I paid for that ticket with a credit card.

So out of my "Several Options" I can personally say (4) would work and been tested by me. Domestically I can say hitch-hiking to an oil field and sleeping in a ditch until you can afford better would work (met lots of felons that did same). I also married a filipina while I was completely broke, so (7) would work as well although I haven't personally done it, it would be trivial for me to execute it.
> would very quickly have several replies claiming it's just whataboutism

I was thinking exactly this (I find that magical word fascinating), and I also think this thread is interesting.
Have you actually done any of the 7 options you mention? (If you have, I'd love to hear details). I think you may be going on bad information on at least some of them. For the record, I have a federal conviction in the US. I got out of prison at age 28, finished my degrees (CS & math), and succeeded as an early employee at a startup, so it is possible. Then in 2014 I went to Argentina for the supposed "2 year citizenship", which ended up taking 6 years, and a good amount of money to pursue it. I lived on money generated entirely in the US - the economy of Argentina is much, much worse than the US. If you're basing your research on the baexpats forum and specifically bajo_cero2's comments, that may have been true before 2013, but not anymore.

I'm not saying your suggestions are 100% impossible, but they're more for people who are on the run (i.e. very desperate) rather than those with a conviction.

If I'm understanding, I don't even get why you would go through the effort.

It sounds like the author wants to add these features to main-line emacs, and expect other people to maintain it while he holds some kind of copyright.

Emacs is one of the last pieces of software people would want to "move fast and break things". And what does copyright or ownership even get you?

They took something existing that's been worked on since probably before he was born, agreed to the license, and added features only they have reviewed and tested. And I guess expected to face little resistance to get his code in to be tested and maintained by everyone else.

It doesn't even sound like it's a big deal to maintain their branch. They said mainline is merged in every hour. The hardest part sounds like adding a different URL in your package manager and dealing with a rare merge conflict (which you could easily put off for a long time if you don't care about bleeding edge).

So weird is extremely accurate.
I think I can be against a single person's discretion and judgment and still be in favor of things like trial by jury.

A trial by jury is multiple people collectively judging on something after taking some time to consider the whole story.

A single officer in the field deciding, within a few minutes, whether you should pay a $200 fine seems very different to me. Although a speeding ticket, and what typically goes in front of a jury, is also usually magnitudes different.

Maybe someone that is a member of the caste that is accused of discriminating against lower castes shouldn't be deciding if that group is being discriminated against. It would be like if white people were the deciders of whether black people are oppressed in modern America. Numerous law suits have been filed about this very thing, so it is obviously still an issue in the workplace.
This happened to a friend of mine(not with CB, not even in tech - a sales job) - he sued them and ended up getting a severance package for a job he never worked at. I'm not sure if it was just a settlement or an actual judgement against them though.
Eh, it's in healthcare. Specifically disability support. I get a kick out of building software that makes providing support for these folks that need it. It makes their lives better, helps them achieve their goals. But it's also a largely tax payer funded industry in my country so hence the audits. Which is ok, as a tax payer myself I'd be pretty gutted if we as a country weren't auditing companies getting our hard earned tax dollar especially if they are in a sector like healthcare.
Don’t be an asshole. If your employer is half-decent don’t just leave without 2 weeks notice and no replacement, don’t “put in minimum required effort” which is actually below minimum required, don’t sabotage the company, and don’t be strict when your employer has a true emergency situation (which is actually an emergency and not every weekend) and relies on you.*

But also don’t trust your employer. Require important stuff in writing and contracts, don’t expect your employer to give anything extra for hard work / overtime (unless it’s in contract), don’t rely on “promised” benefits or rely on your employer to do anything they don’t have to.

And also, if you get another offer which pays 200% after accepting, or one which requires you to quit immediately, you might want to break loyalty. IMO this should go both ways: the company and employer should expect the other party to “betray” them if there’s a huge bonus like that. In fact all of this goes both ways and company/employer should have a decent, “loyal” relationship to an extent, but never put too much trust into each other.

* the other exception is toxic workplaces where your boss is being an asshole to you. Although in that case you should be trying to leave ASAP
Legitimately wonder why people find this so so hard to understand.

Has no one ever been a manager? Have you never worked with managers who had to do these things? I've known many managers who admit to having to do all of these things. Some of them are proud that they did it - some are ashamed because they didn't want to but ultimately had to otherwise they would've gotten fired.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter whether you do it because you enjoy it or because you have to - what matters is that you're doing it and someone is on the receiving end.

Genuinely - how many of you have ever done hiring while searching for a new company yourself? HN is truly full of the self-indulgent and self-righteous to think they're not doing this themselves or that this is wonderful to be around.
Heartex – Remote (EU, North America, South America)

The power of prediction starts with Heartex (https://heartex.com). We build software that helps people do what only they can do – give meaning (https://github.com/heartexlabs/label-studio)

We are currently hiring for Backend Engineers, Architects, and Engineering leaders. We are a fully distributed organization with people all over the world. With team members in North America, Europe, and South America across 6 countries.

Stack: React, Python, Django, Postgres, Kubernetes

As the VP of Engineering feel free to reach out to me directly (joe@hearex.com), contact our Head of Talent (brandi@heartex), or apply via our careers page (https://heartex.com/career)

More about Heartex:
Data fills our modern world. It flows prolifically inside organizations, customer interactions, through product usage, environmental research, healthcare imaging, and beyond. What if we could use any of that historical data to predict the future? The fact is, in most cases we can make predictions through Machine Learning and AI, but to do so in a meaningful and impactful way, historical data needs to be accurate, comprehensive, and absent of bias.

In order to make the best predictions, we believe internal teams with domain expertise should be responsible for annotating and curating data. It's called data labeling, and it’s a process of real people giving meaning to the information they see on the screen. Heartex was founded to take data labeling to the next level.

We believe that data labeling is a team sport. Data scientists, subject matter experts, engineers, operations, and annotators must work collaboratively to ensure quality results and an efficient process. That’s why we created Label Studio, which has quickly become the most popular open source data labeling platform with 100,000 users around the world, alongside a community of thousands of data scientists sharing knowledge and working to advance data-centric AI.

We are excited to announce that Heartex has recently raised $25 million in Series A funding, bringing our total funds raised to $30 million from notable investment partners Redpoint Ventures, Unusual Ventures, Bow Capital, Swift Ventures, as well as angel investors.

Precisely. Holders HODL during bear markets. Traders go bankrupt. New money stays on the sidelines. Everyone else forgets about crypto for a few years.
What crime were you convicted of?
> Aha! You have me dead to rights. I'm an enabler, because I don't think that these problems can be solved by just dumping the problem people to the next town over.

Yes, I know, I'm capable of noticing clear objective truths. Big city policies demonstrably enable these social ills. You don't have to get defensive. You just observably believe that it's better to tolerate anti-social behavior than to put a stop to it. We disagree on this point, but perhaps you take some comfort from knowing that your co-urbanites also inexplicably like to live surrounded by filth.

> Less than you, since you seem to think that the right thing to do is for your community to export it to its neighbours.

I never said any such thing. I said I don't believe such a thing is even happening. You have failed to provide any evidence of a systematic push of rural undesirables to cities. Rather, all the evidence indicates that urban policies, that city-dwellers reliably vote for and thus observably want, are attracting undesirables. Furthermore, those policies are enabling people who might otherwise live with some semblance of social responsibility to fully embrace an anti-social manner of living.

> Those communities create 'that trash', and then don't deal with it. If I just start dumping trash on your front lawn, because I don't want to pay the cost of garbage pickup, which one of us is the problem?

The policies that city dwellers support are creating the trash. There is no rural conspiracy to ship undesirables to the cities. Individual vagrants may be attracted by urban enabling policies, but that's the responsibility of the vagrants and urban policymakers, not rural communities. If city people don't want more vagrants then they shouldn't support policies that enable them.

Yep. OpenSea, too, raised funding at 13B valuation right at the peak of the NFT mania

I don’t understand how VCs work. I was deep in the NFT world at that time and outside of the influencers on Twitter, every single trader I know was just in it to dump NFTs on someone else. And everyone knew that it wasn’t sustainable at all.

How can VCs look at something like this, abandon all common sense and buy in right at the top of a mania phase?

No, it says a lot about those people.
My wife tells people that I 'build parts of the internet' which sounds a lot cooler than building ecom, marketing sites, and mobile apps. Most people are pretty happy with that description too.
I've got a similar proud moment. Back in the Flash days, I built the flash player skin for a starwars.com player that sat in their homepage for a while.

Since then, I've built way more complicated things I'm proud of. But nothing beats that during beer time with friends .
> It really wasn't until after this lawsuit, along with Facebook actively making better offers, that tech salaries started to skyrocket.

No, the lawsuit had nothing to do with it. The market exploded because Facebook refused to join the cartel. The lawsuit fined the companies involved risible amounts and no one involved got fired or jail. Irrelevant.

I think you basically answered your own objection. Probably 90% of convicted criminals are really criminals, and that's why people are suspicious of hiring them. The point of this project wasn't "get convicts hired because 10% of them are innocent", it was "get convicts hired because even though 90% of them are guilty, that's okay." It's called "70 million" because that's the total number of convicts, not an estimate of how many are innocent. And the founder himself is an ex-con, and he admits that he's actually guilty, and the crime he committed actually harmed people, it wasn't a corrupt prosecutor or a bogus drug law.

My folks think I do on site tech support. Doesn’t matter how I explain my work or correct them they don’t really understand.
Maybe, but only if you compare it to those things. I support tons of people on patreon and other platforms and never have I once thought about comparing it to my Netflix subscription, it's just totally different.

Netflix and co are a utility and you expect to pay low utility costs for it, but supporting a creator is something you do because you are excited and look forward to what they do next and their contribution to the world and more specifically your day. What are you more excited for, sitting down to your daily Netflix or getting the latest podcast/comic/picture from your favourite creator? Who will disappear if you don't support them and be lost forever?

It is not obedience, not even close. It is highly empowering to act with the high ethical standards no matter what, because it's always in your control. That doesn't mean being acquiescent or being naive. I don't tolerated being mistreated or lied to, but I don't reply in kind: I just leave, I don't come back, and I don't forget.
Alice trusts Bob, who trusts Charlie. Alice has no idea who Charlie is.

Now Charlie gets $10 dollars as credit (not the same as cash) from Alice (mediated through Bob) and wants to buy $10 items from David and Eve. He shows the letter saying that Alice is good for the cash. Without a distributed consensus method, how can David or Eve confirm that they will be able to go to Alice to collect the cash? How can they even know that Alice has the cash in the first place? What if something happens to Bob?

The only way to do this without a blockchain would require something like Paxos, but Paxos only works if the participants are selected a priori. Every new participant would have to be vetted by everyone else, or everyone else would have to follow some central authority that can grant access to the system. If you are going this route, you are just re-inventing a credit cooperative.

You are normal. You just described 80% of the population. We all suffer from autism, Asperger‘s and other neurological issues.

If you don’t suffer from any chromosomal abnormalities; such as albinism, bad eyesight, Alzheimer’s, late development achievements(anal retentive). You are doing well as a living being.

if you can read, write and speak at the age of 32, you are average. Nowadays.

Everyone suffers from anxiety and depression, mostly women but they compensate with materialism and their children in most cases.

Finally, this is nothing new. People in 3rd world countries like Sudan, India and some Arabic countries in African usually fast for week and clean their system with herbs.

The 20% of the population are the cripples, blind ,mute and retarded(lack of development in social skills,speech and personal care). They have the real issues.
