We like it when businesses take a stand on things we agree on. We don't like it when it's about, say, making a gay couple a wedding cake. What stand, exactly, are we saying Google should take? That they don't employee people associated with organizations where leaders engage in pedophilia? If so, we should also have a word with 1.2 billion catholics.

You may not like it, but figuring out policy is important to a functioning society. It's how we avoid descent into fascism and witch hunting.

> Google cannot take action against religions (even cults) it disagrees with

"Disagreement" is quite an euphemistic way of describing the situation. The said cult has documented history of sexual abuse.
Wrong comment?
> L&G, too, especially if there is T involved.

If T is involved, e.g. a woman being impregnated by a trans-identifying male, then that would be a heterosexual pairing, not a homosexual one.

Win+shift+S brings up the screenshot tool, then you can just box around whatever you want and it auto-throws that into the annotation tool. You are also able to paste either the pre-annotated screenshot or the post annotated screenshot from the clipboard into other apps without any fiddling about. No need to change default behavior for this extremely common use case. If you are doing it over video, it conveniently freezes the output for the purpose of the screenshot at the exact moment you hit the key combo (without pausing the video or game in real time). It's miles better than the macOS workflow.

But is that how it is debunked? Do newspapers, when addressing this conspiracy theory, write "Yes, our immigration policies could be likened to a great replacement, and will soon result in your minority status, but it is not a 'conspiracy' because we are doing it openly"?

And, if someone dislikes the results of such immigration policy, why would they care of the exact motives behind it? Even if you convince them it's not a conspiracy, their stance won't change.
> Guys, it's not rocket science, just ask your employees what's bothering them.

That requires confrontation, which many executives (and even low-level managers) don't want to deal with.
It's less "cool" if you ask for it but no I don't read the HN guidelines as applying here.
> "Cult" is a term from the study of religion (a particular field's jargon, if you will), and usually conveys intense devotion, a ritual or sacrificial dimension that goes beyond a master craftsman's level of devotion to a craft.

That might be the modern colloquial use, but I don't think it has much to do with the use of the word "cult" in the study of religion?

As I understand the word, you might talk about the cult associated with a particular temple (meaning just local practices, as opposed to more widespread general practices), or the cult associated with the worship of a particular god (meaning beliefs and practices pertaining to that god and his or her worship in specific, such beliefs might be very widespread or might be highly localized), or you might talk about a mystery cult, which is pretty much by definition a widespread phenomenon distinguished by the fact that it has secret teachings unknown to non-initiates.

But none of those senses convey any special devotion in comparison to ordinary worship; most of them are ordinary worship.

It's funny, that CTA doesn't actually seem to get many signups, but multiple people have said how cool it is! So I've left it up even though it doesn't seem to "work" all that well. Today for instance, there were 3 signups out of ~7.3k unique visits!
That’s not true. Most of the utility water pipes are metal, concrete or clay. PVC pipes make up 22% of the US’s total utility water piping.

Many homes in the US have wells so this generally doesn’t apply evenly to everyone.

Finally, it’s an exercise in harm reduction.
I would guess they probably found that the "small business" segment of their customers ended up contributing to a disproportional percentage of fraud, support requests, etc, to the point they were net negative?

Though I still wonder if they considered just closing off to new customers instead of closing accounts of existing ones, since the fact that the latter would blow up in a nasty PR nightmare like this and do massive damage to their brand was pretty foreseeable.

I’m genuinely curious. I would agree it’s possible that either could be true but how exactly would you even begin to speculate let alone calculate the supposed probability of either possibility?
This comment is so ironic. Love it.
The New York Times article [1] largely adds support to the author’s claims.

It also provided some interesting background on how this level of nepotism might have come about:

> Ms. Jones, Mr. Lloyd’s [The author] lawyer, argued that Google’s relationship with ASG [contracting agency] allowed members of the Fellowship to join the company without being properly vetted. “This is one of the methods the Fellowship used in the Kelly case,” she said. “They can get through the door without the normal scrutiny.”

I always assumed this was part of their deal with records companies to basically prevent people using YouTube as a free music streaming service (while keeping music videos there). Partly because before iOS added picture-in-picture they had a feature to enable videos to keep playing as audio only in the background but ONLY if you had YouTube Red/Premium.

Having said that, they now enabled Picture-in-Picture on iOS (though last check it's still in beta I joined the beta a while back) and one of Apple's requirements is you cannot but OS features (such as Picture in Picture) behind an app paywall. So they could only do this by making it available to everyone including free users. Not sure what got them over the line but its there now.

So makes me wonder if that will go away - or whether they still enforce that requirement on Android, or what.
I'll reiterate what most of you already know - this company is incredibly shady.

So customers have less than 2 months to find new banking partners, migrate their data, inform their partners about banking changes, etc...

This is one reason why I'm avoiding all fintech/startup/neo banks in the future. My most solid experience was with a top 5 US bank. They have a shitty customer service and a plethora of offers; but my direct deposits go faster, I don't get pestered over 5 figures amount going in/out because AML and they were able to accommodate some particular needs (that no neo fintech will do, since they lump all customers into one basket).

If anyone wants to bank in the future (both for personal/business), here are the banks I'd suggest: Citi, Chase, BoA and WellsFargo.
Too tiring to demand that. Fifty percent is fine.

“Victim's Advocates” are unhappy with Apple's new iMessage edit features
The other "Helios" project was a commercial operating system from Perihelion Software, which was subsequently kinda open sourced after the company went bust (which is the GitHub repo posted).

There are a couple of books about it from Prentice-Hall: ISBN 0-13-381237-5 and ISBN 0-13-386004-3, plus various academic papers, commercial software for the OS (mostly development tools), open source software (X11, gcc, other stuff), etc, etc.

It was the default operating system of the Atari Abaq/ATW (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Transputer_Workstation), and also ran on various other Transputer, i860, and various other early parallel computer systems.

It too was a micro-kernel, with a very Plan9-like global name system implemented by applications plugging into the name server protocol.

If nothing else, it might be of interest to read up on it, but given the similarities between the projects, it seems to be an unfortunate naming collision.
Imagine you are a newly assigned teamlead - the projevt has an expert on databases that knows this system inside out - are you going to ignore his advice? This is exactly the same thing.
Possible. But when people say "what's the harm", well, it's spelled out in the linked Medium post. Meanwhile "I wonder if XYZ" has the disadvantage of not being substantiated by anything.

After reviewing the NYT article, there's much that independently vet's the claims put forward by Kevin Lloyd, the author of this Medium piece. Most notable in support of Kevin Lloyd's portrayal is the fact the director of GDS has already been successfully sued by someone else for similar treatment.
So is this good or bad for them I wonder?

Perhaps, but the aforementioned screenshot shortcut I learned just like OP because I wanted to take a screenshot, and it's muscle memory for me as well. I even thought to myself before I clicked on the article "I'm pretty sure they are going to have CMD + Shift + 4 or CMD + Shift + 5 as the focal point of the article". I would call it "inaccessible" in terms of natural discovery, sure. But it is definitely not "inaccessible" in terms of ease of use and memory when you do know about it. I had to google "how to screenshot on mac" once in my life and I've used the keyboard shortcuts on a near daily basis for more than half a decade.
The argument is a harasser can send a harassing message and then delete it, "destroying" the evidence.
Depending on what machine you're running with issues against. I got a work around by using YogaDNS and setting it to point to CloudFlare DNS, you can use any external DNS service to this affect.

So when I hit issues with NextDNS where my block list is too strict or it has to be amended but want to hit another website rather than wait for the allow list to update.

I launch YogaDNS so my DNS servers are temporarily changed, rather than disable NextDNS. Then I disable YogaDNS a few moments later when I expect my settings in NextDNS have updated/refreshed.

You still have the same problem, you have to remember to disable YogaDNS but I find it to be a lot easier, turning on and off the YogaDNS app.
But a lot more things have only ever been around for a short time. Only a few made it through that “having been around a short time”, stay around longer than expected, and become exceptions to the rule.

Such a change would be transparent to the end user.. Except for gotchas like not all users have the source code for all of their dependencies. What happens if you want to update your program and you have a dependency on a binary from some vendor who went defunct 35 years ago? You're stuck compiling against whatever artifacts you have so does transpiling to C still work?
We do not in fact know the order pyramids were built in. Maybe the crude rubble was first efforts, or maybe it was inept copies.

This is correct, let me take a crack at explaining why.

The Lindy effect is named after a restaurant, Lindy's, which ironically closed recently. If we were to take it as invertible, we would have to conclude that a brand-new restaurant, which opened an hour ago, is most likely to shut down one hour from now.

This is an obvious absurdity: if we wish to speculate on the longevity of new things, we can't use the Lindy effect to do so. It's a good heuristic for betting that something will continue, it's a bad heuristic for betting something won't.

[disclaimer: I work at Brex, but am not speaking on behalf of the company]

I think one thing being lost in translation here is that Brex considers small businesses to be different from startups, and it's an important distinction internally that is likely getting lost externally.

For example, we just acquired Pry to help with founders at small startups figure out financial projections and needs. If you're an early stage funded startup, Brex is probably still a good fit.

The policy cited here is more about no longer being a good fit for "traditional" small businesses.

I 100% expect Musk to say that Tesla needs help training the Optimus neural net, and that the best way to do this is to open a volunteer program where unpaid Tesla enthusiasts perform Optimus-like tasks at the service centres and factories while wearing an Optimus costume.

I expect tens of thousands of Tesla fans will eat this up, quit their jobs, and go work for free at Tesla to help "train the neural net". TSLA stock will improve drastically as Musk will be able to fire the entire factory floor, replace them with volunteers, and labour costs will be greatly reduced.
So, does that mean that funding the Roman Catholic Church is a fire-able offense? What about the Southern Baptist Convention? Or Penn State University (at least while Jerry Sandusky was working there)? Or Michigan State (at least while Nassar was there)? Or the BBC (whilst Jimmy Savile was there)?

I'm definitely not trying to defend Fellowship of Friends here, just pointing out that a zero tolerance policy for supporting pedophiles pretty quickly falls apart because the successful abusers- those who can consistently abuse lots of people, like Burton, are almost always in a position of power in some organization or another. That's what gives them access and cover to do it to so many victims after all.

A syscall is a method for calling a kernel routine to do something outside the current process.

All i/o (network, filesystem, ipc), memory allocation, process interaction, signals, etc go through syscalls. open(), read() and write() are all syscalls.

If the syscall interface exists then the only thing left to do is to execute the program -- which depends on the cpu executing the machine instructions. If the machine instructions are for the wrong cpu then emulation may come into play.

In my case, microservices are often asynchronous messaging applications serving hundreds, thousands, or _maybe_ tens of thousands of transactions per day. Message processing time matters much less to me than reliability and separation of concerns, generally. Kubernetes is great for this.

Not in the sense that we're worried about here.

I feel like I shouldn't have to spell this out, but we're using "monopoly" in the sense of "monopolistic abuse specifically enabled by large revenue and/or platform gatekeeping."

Whether you think other kinds of monopolies are a problem or not is immaterial, because we're talking about a specific type of monopoly, that a number of us do have a problem with.
I wish C++ compilers written in C++ were blazing fast too.
Monopolies might be harmful in that sense, but the issue is that monopolies tend to happen naturally as a company grows and expands into a national corporation, which is the most textbook definition of capitalism and the american dream. In general antitrust laws are meant to 'allow' competitors to exist should a new competitor attempt to challenge the incumbents, but they're not an attempt at forcing competition by hurting those incumbents.
Because to the extent that it's induced by chemicals that have never naturally existed, it's unnatural?

I figured that. Also one of the official definitions for the word "minority" in both UK and US dictionaries is an ethnic minority. Therefore when people in the US look at the word in context or even when it's ambiguous that's a valid meaning.

A small group of people within a community or country, differing from the main population in race, religion, language, or political persuasion.

a part of a population differing from others in some characteristics and often subjected to differential treatment
