Double checked this and it's still correct, after a period of time a squatter can claim ownership if they can prove they've been living in the property.

That's not quite the whole story. The rules around adverse possession were changed a while back so that even if someone has been using some property for a long time they can't just file a bit of paperwork and take the legal ownership away from the real owner. The real owner will be notified of the attempt and then has quite a long period of time to address the matter, for example by getting any unauthorised occupants removed instead. It's only if the owner doesn't take the required actions in time and the occupants then go through a second round of paperwork that the occupants can take over the title and even then there are still some other big conditions they have to satisfy first.

(I am not a lawyer or property expert but I did have this explained to me at length by someone who was when I was considering buying a property and he had some concerns about the legal title.)
I have that set - and it’s fantastic. It comes with instructions to integrate a motor into the mechanism to bring the roller coaster cars to the top of the first hill.

Gravity does the rest - the cars aren’t powered.
I love how one of the use cases you see on vendor web sites for DPUs is “Finance”.

A significant driving force for ever more powerful GPUs is crypto mining.

Similarly, “smart” NICs are heavily used by high frequency trading systems. They process the order data in the FPGA to avoid the round trip out to the CPU and back. Some of these codes can start sending the order in response to an incoming packet that is still being received!

crypto assets have different fundamentals.

For businesses it's important to understand earnings and assets because those put a floor on the price of the business: they set a price level at which you are very likely to see demand for taking over the business. At the end of the day, though, when you study fundamentals you are making guesses at supply and demand.

The price of a Bitcoin depends on how many people are trying to use it for remittances and how easily those people can acquire Bitcoin and how long recipients hold before selling. Demand also depends on the macro environment and it's historic correlation with other markets. Supply depends on the issuance rate and energy prices (higher prices will force miners to sell more to pay for their operations). Many other factors are at play; by predicting them you can make guesses as to future supply and demand and future bitcoin prices.
Yup. The sad part is that it used to work with Safari, but with Apple's new extensions-must-be-in-the-App-Store-because-reasons change, that was the end of that.

Part of the reason why I wrote about CompatTelRunner is that Billy O'Neal was complaining about it on Twitter.
I guess all that easy money being sucked out of the system must be leaving some noticeable voids already.
Take a look at the brown-eye-blue-eye experiment that a teacher did with her students. Everyone already knew the color of their eye, but no one gave it much significance. But as soon as the teacher started talking about the socioeconomic-status associated with eye color, students immediately divided themselves and started fighting over eye color.

Never underestimate people's ability to segregate themselves using whatever demographic markers society tells them is important to their identity.

> The children with brown eyes were suddenly more confident — and condescending. They hurled nasty insults at the blue-eyed kids. The children with blue eyes made silly mistakes and became timid and despondent. The two groups stopped playing together. Fights broke out.

I am thoroughly entertained by how this elicited an emotional reaction from me. I guess I feel loyal to the site.

Posting this here embodies the spirit of Hacker News in a weirdly layered meta commentary.

I’m probably thinking too hard about it but I enjoyed this
Yes, and the point of this article is that Coinbase is rescinding employment for people who have accepted offers but haven't started yet. These people have already given notice at their current jobs and now won't have a new one to start. They are Screwed.
yeah, it also probably means that the ones that stayed are getting laid off, but the ones that left are probably in a better situation
I think it's a PR CYA move. It was being picked up on social media and they had to say something
I've used it to test some db behavior with `yes 'insert ...;' | mysql ...`. Fastest insertions I could think of.
Looks like a software bootcamp project, so they probably did it to save time on that bit. But you picked the wrong license if you don't want people to copy you.
> We will rescind a number of accepted offers.

Came here to quote the same line, but follow it with "yeah, fuck these guys". Its not fair to paint the whole industry with bad sentiment, but anyone who recinds accepted offers either has no decency or no ability to forecast their most basic needs.

Might be true in FAANG/consulting but in the tier below FAANG reputation with a company is so useless it’s not worth considering. That even assumes it’s possible to be rehired or considered for employment by the same bosses, and that they didn’t just write you off forever for having the audacity to every be disloyal to them.

If you’re in an area with few employers, don’t want to move, _and_ don’t want to work, then maybe don’t give notice, otherwise you’re just leaving value on the table for people who only like you when you leave value on the table
Rescinded offers also impact recent foreign graduates who plan to start a job with OPT. This comes with a deadline or you need to leave the country.
If you simply look for ways to fail, you'll never succeed.

My statement is direct towards goal oriented people who want to succeed and are willing to iteratively test their options until something works. Not failures who are unwilling to take a risk or work for a reward. If you can't get a credit card, then hitchhike and/or volunteer on a yacht or just be homeless and work day labor that doesn't check your record until you've saved up a chunk.

An individual who is capable of success is capable of tirelessly executing options until they find one that works. And that is possible. Staying in the US means you will never fully regain your civil rights if convicted of a federal crime. Leaving means you have the chance of having the full civil rights of a citizen, somewhere.
The claims made in this post are in dire need of citations, and don't strike me as believable. And just FWIW, most first-generation Indians in America couldn't give two shits about the caste system.
I didn't know that. I started a new job three months ago in the US, and I had to negotiate because they wanted me to start in 2 weeks and I wanted a month. They told me three weeks was a hard limit.
What's the layout library? elkjs?
The short answer is they paid off all the local politicians who make those pro-dealership laws.
FWIW: I think you're conflating things. Teaching kids about slavery and segregation, and teaching older kids the enduring effects thereof (which are quantifiable!) isn't the same thing as forcing them to pick a racial identity or renounce their privilege or whatever, even if some of the same people want to do both.

You can oppose the latter without denying the former. From my perspective on the other side of this divide, I see a lot of people making arguments like yours as a way of shutting down discussion about inequality entirely. That's exactly what you claim not to support, right?
My sense is the structural issues amplify the political and personality issues, in the sense that when those things arise they can maybe have bigger effects than in the past. But that's just speculation.

I wish things like the research in this blog post got more attention, because it's important in understanding how things have and have not changed.
> It's as absurd as saying there are not enough professional basketball player that are redhead so we should have quota of redhead regardless of skill level.

If the end goal is that after a number of generations we finally have the proportionate number of redhead basketball players that would have existed if we didn't discriminate against recruiting redhead players in the past, then no, the idea isn't absurd at all.

Note the keyword here is the end goal - of creating a equal and just basketball team... or society, if you reel in the ad absurdum.
"My son is in IT" (FWIW, we're of Indian origin, living in the DC metro area for 30 years)

But I don't know what to tell my parents, saying "he builds software for a living" isn't really that much more specific, and they resort to "My son is in IT"

I got slightly more curiosity with "I build Apps" when I used to build mobile apps. But not with my parents.
I think it's pretty normal as a human to attach oneself to various identity groups (An anodyne example being local sports teams), and the more you salience an identity, the more likely and more strongly individuals are to attach themselves to that identity.

It seems like that could in fact an issue with race-centric DEI training, at least per the one study I found at short notice[0]. But that needs to be weighed against the potential benefits and the fact that race relations are a significant issue across America society regardless of whether we address it explicitly or not.

With caste discrimination, the issue currently exists within a very small slice of American society (immigrants born in India). So even a small negative effect across the rest of American society would wipe out even the most significant improvements in that slice.

i'm pretty sure something like that exists, i'm not saying don't build it, but there does seem to be a market for it
Show HN: Salesfinity – Parallel Dialer software to make 3x-5x more phone calls
From what I am reading: The moral of this story's comments seems to be accept (multiple offers) early, backout (of the not-as-good offers) late and don't put in my last-day's notice in until as late as possible, since we are playing a capitalistic game. Of course there are exceptions but if we are talking about the majority of stereotypical organizations then...:shrug:.
A police force is not like picking your razor blade at the store. How is there enough space in a market to have multiple police companies, when most municipalities are going to award a _single_ contract to cover the police work for that municipality. If there is only one contract to award, that means one police company would win and the others go out of business, or leave the "market" and go somewhere else.

That is a natural monopoly, and all you have done is replicated the same issues as a public police force that the politicians are not willing to challenge, except now you have a private monopoly where you can't force any changes or accountability because there's no other competitors.

The "market" does not make things intrinsically better.
> . He certainly had his detractors before then, but it's hard to find a single person standing up for him

What rock do you live under? He has a huge fanatic cult following and they won't ever shut up about sucking his dick.
As far as the Coinbase marketplace, it may have “seasons” but the margins from fees will probably shrink over time regardless. A recent episode from Crypto Critics’ Corner ( https://anchor.fm/cryptocriticscorner/episodes/Cryptocurrenc... ) covered some of the headwinds facing Coinbase. Coinbase (at least the CEO) claims this is not a problem so it will be interesting.
They could have just stopped new hiring, and not rescinded any offers.

The fact they felt they had to means layoffs are right around the corner, and they're in a very bad spot.
Mexico calls for dissolution of the Organization of the Americas
Extremely dishonest article. Tries very hard to trick people in believing "Hindu nationalists" didn't like her talk because they're great fans of the caste system. Yet it's common knowledge they're against the very idea of caste.

> sites and organizations that have targeted academics in the United States and Canada who are critical of Hindu nationalism or caste hierarchy.

Whatever the real grievance is, the article definitely doesn't talk about it. Presumably people felt her activism actually strengthens the caste system/division rather than combats it.
Please, please be very cautious, read this comment critically, consult a friend or anyone minimally smart before doing any of this stuff.
Imagine how much time Dev2 could have saved by sharing a link instead of name dropping obscure libraries they read about on HN
I know this is a bit off topic, but even during the "Great Resignation", as I always do I keep my eyes open on the job market (non-felon with a good work history, so this is a departure from the conversation, I apologize). With all of the complaints from employers about "We can't find people to work for us!", even in the software industry (which is well payed, compared to a lot of my friends), I didn't see the expected raise in the offering salaries for such claimed desperation. Especially when inflation is pushing from the bottom and housing prices (at least in the Seattle area, my area) are still nuts. The expectations of experience are laughable and, frankly, to be to be ignored at this point. I'm not even sure who writes the spec sheets for positions.
I don't see what the Bitcoin halvening has anything to do with this. The halvenings have been known from the very beginning and are thus priced in. The downturn we're seeing now is caused by market volatility, the exact opposite of a guaranteed halvening that we already knew was coming a decade ago.
> The end game for many progressives is things like Mao China.

Doesn't that smack of demonization to you? It has nothing to do with progressivism, any more than all doctors lead to Joseph Mengele. Get out there and read some progressive things; go to the source; stop reading what others say about progressive ideas. It's nothing at all like what you imagine; progressive people are primarly just people, with common sense and opinions, like you.
> yeah, this is false.

It can't be false, it's a value judgement.
Splicing seems to work well for the "middle" part of a chain of piped processes, e.g., how pv works: it can splice pages from one pipe to another w/o needing to worry about reusing the page since someone upstream already wrote the page.

Similarly for splicing from a pipe to a file or something like that. It's really the end(s) of the chain that want to (a) generate the data in memory or (b) read the data in memory that seem to create the problem.
I'm not aware of any actively maintained projects that give you this out of the box, but these two could be starting points for such a project.

Mozilla implemented a REST service based on (an earlier version of) bergamot-translator [1]. You could use that as a replacement for the WASM component in the addon's code.

I also know of some full-page translation demo code that uses the python bindings of bergamot-translator [2]. That's basically a web proxy a la Goole Translate.

Lastly, marian, the translation software that's being used, has a web server as well [3]. It does not support HTML though.

EDIT: see also my earlier comment for using it with Node or Python [4], which you could use to implement a simple web API.

>It's not a question of ethics, it's a question of properly assessing the commitment that's being made

I've been on both ends of this, as an employee a few years ago and now an employer. I'm not sure if assuming the worst in all employers and putting in the bare minimum/acting unethically to avoid being "taken advantage of" is the optimal way to act.

It pushes away the good companies that will reward loyalty and drive, and attracts unethical companies who have an adversarial relationship with their employees.

Same goes for relationships - if you assume that the person you're going to marry is simply going to take your house and kids and build your relationship about minimising feeling stupid if/when it happens, you're not going to have a good time.
Well, I have enough vacation saved up that I could take 2 and a half months of vacation. That, plus my sabbatical, plus the 10 days of holidays we are given a year, plus the week off we get each summer means I could take nearly 5 months of vacation. On top of that, we get every Friday off as a paid day between Memorial Day and Labor Day (June-August).
Can you tell me where Damore is working now, and how it compares in terms of prestige and compensation compared to Google?
Shill.
Teller touches upon this subject. In an interview published on YouTube, he says, increasing scholarships and science funding further doesn’t help; because money doesn’t buy science, money buys technology; we actually don’t have enough scientists on whom to spend the money. And that, most of the advances in quantum mechanics and atomic physics were made by individuals genuinely interested in problems in these domains, and worked in modest conditions. Quantum mechanics theory took practically nothing to develop.

Politics, of course, is part of the humanity, but it manifests differently in different environments (academia vs industry, or then vs now). There is undoubtedly politics in industry, however, there are also products and reality checks. The companies won’t survive if they operate entirely based on politics. In academia, on the other hand, the environmental feedback can be weaker depending on the subject; there, politics could come to the fore. Amusingly, Kissinger said, politics in academia is specially vicious precisely because the stakes are so low.

As for then versus now, there used to be a lot of low-hanging fruit that could be taken until 1980s, and there weren’t many researchers. But now there are fewer accessible opportunities, with far more researchers. If you consider that the size of the cake has not increased proportionally (due to factors mentioned in the article), while the number of players has increased substantially, you may conclude that the environment has become much more competitive. Increased competition indicates increased politics, emphasis on selling, networking, and other non-scientific factors relevant to industry, except there you actually get paid. The conditions are nowadays totally different. There all sorts of performance metrics (H-index, citations, number of papers etc), that have become target, in place of good science, which are gamed.

>The crypto bubble is popping

For the 4th time. See you in 4 years for the next crypto bubble.
Not sure whether you meant to respond to a different comment (mine didn’t say anything about “excuses”), but assuming this was meant as a reply…

You clearly have one/several specific organizations in mind, but I’ll point out that my comment was about the content of criticism rather than the track record of the group making it. Track record gives a hint of whether someone might be acting in bad faith, but it is perfectly possible for someone to usually offer fair assessments but let their prejudices slip though with regards to members of one minority group or another. In fact, some would argue that everyone has such blind spots and that they can only be mitigated, but never eliminated.

Not sure I understand your point about guilt by association, but if you are arguing that using the same talking points as a known racist shouldn’t make others suspect you of being a racist… then I think we’re probably going to disagree.
You don't need to, but you might want to. It'll make life more pleasant and less angry.
Can’t buy something like a car without sitting in it and probably doing a test drive. Unless they have a 3-5 day no questions asked full price refund policy.
There are very basic solutions or some solutions that target only enterprises with hefty bills.

Also, clearly nothing has been good enough that everyone knows about it or uses it.
These are the type of posts that make some of us noobs feel like imposters, lol. (been coding webstack-ish for 10 years, fwiw, can't even begin to write an assembler though :shrug:)

Good on you though, we need inspiration too! And you definitely should feel great about pulling that off! I am imaging it must have been some really fantastic "flow" time! How did you feel while writing it? Did you have family or friend distractions? Did you feel super focused? What is that story?

What are some of your focus patterns that you have identified? What gets you motivated when you feel stuck?
> During the Great Resignation, we found it took 10x the time and effort to get someone placed, eroding our already thin margins. Plus, if a worker left (which they began doing at a great rate)

Where do you think they went? If they mostly went to work elsewhere because as part of the "Great Resignation" because they found better opportunities, then perhaps you accomplished your social mission (which was presumably giving them a foot in the door of gainful work), even if it was at the price of the business.

Maybe structural impediments to employment for felons came down due to a tightening labor market?

For example, in CA, laws are being passed to allow formerly incarcerated wildlands firefighters to work in that job after release:

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm...

If they resigned instead due to hopelessness and falling back through the proverbial cracks of society, that's a terrible result.
This seems like a vast oversimplification to absolve Microsoft of any wrongdoing here.

Companies shouldn't be able to access 1:1 correspondence between employees without some kind of complex legal process first, IMO.

Great, that's n = 1.

For comparison, I would have never ever reached out to you again. And if I met you in the hallway at some other place, I would have made sure that everyone knows how I feel about you.

Most people who worked at one FAANG also eventually work at one more during their careers. So if you screw over one FAANG, you'll have a hard time at 40% of FAANG.

It doesn't stop there. God forbid you live in the Bay Area, and you and I perhaps cross paths at a party, Burning Man, or any other event. And for crying out loud, you better not be connected to me on Linkedin, because people will be reaching out for backchannel references for the rest of your career.

The tricky thing about all this is that you'll never know. People will just magically stop responding, when you felt that things were going great. In my career of 20 years, I've probably been professionally disappointed in something like 4 or 5 people, and I can definitely think of 2 who have resurfaced in my life one way or another.

Tech is a huge space when you're starting out. But as your career accelerates and you end up gaining more visibility, that same space becomes very small very quickly. I would not mess with my reputation, as a matter of principle, but also as a matter of prudence.
