It appears that the world is becoming increasingly divided into two groups: those with "free" democratic systems and those without.

And it feels very different compared to the old West/East divide. Because, ideologically speaking, the "other side" has nothing to offer in comparison to the Communists. At least they offered something (in theory) to strive for.
Millions of people died in Indonesia, Vietnam, and elsewhere. It is absolutely on the same order of magnitude.
What? Where are you getting this? I have no problem with rich people. My problem is with cartels of homeowners passing laws making it illegal for individuals to build higher-density housing on the land that they own. The city of Atherton is a legal entity granted certain limited legislative purview by the California constitution, and it uses that purview to impede the economic flourishing of the state of California. The California consistution gives the state every right to overrule Atherton's dumb zoning rules, and the state legislature should do so.
it is closer to a panini maker that you'd think... lets call it a poor mans panini even if it isn't very cheap.

The cage is very stiff and squeezes the slices very tightly together. So get the bread thickness and filling right, and it doesn't drip much/at all, and the slices will stick together. Crusts help. So it's not unlike a dedicated panini/sandwich toaster.

It's not perfect, a dedicated device is worth it if you're going to use it a lot and/or you have the counter space.

20+ years of work experience as a frontend developer, architect, and team lead.

T-shaped with good understanding of backend, REST, design / UX, DevOps / FrontendOps, ...

Looking for a product company, where I can express my love and attention for my users, fully remote or remote first, within a smallish, supportive team, working with a reasonably modern tech stack, where I can keep on learning and honing my skills. Even better if my users are developers.

I am interested only in full-time permanent roles, best if through Remote.com, Deel, or similar.

If (and I mean IF) it was possible to actually "transfer" reliably both programs/installs and all data/settings, then it could make some (very little anyway) sense in some edge cases.

But - unless I missed something - the procedure of transferring programs and data - besides being unreliable - takes lots of time, hours or more often days, so besides the cost of the new hardware you have to calculate the cost of the IT personnel and also the reduced productivity (and often frustration) of your employees that will spend some time, every day for several days to "fine tune" the settings on the new machine as they already had on the old machine.
I consider the SEPA tagging a secondary method. If someone was to contest the authorship of my code, i'd challenge them to explain why certain passages were written in that way. Or how specific magic numbers were picked. Linus for example used the birth date of his daughters as magic numbers for the reboot() syscall.

Generally i do recommend to avoid cryptocurrencies for anything serious. Its public image is beyond repair.
This sounds like it's overwhelmingly anti-ISIL based on the mission distribution and explanation.

Special forces are often NOT in direct action - it's risky - and instead are training local forces as force multipliers. There are exceptions but frankly you don't send Spec Ops to mag dump a terrorist in a fish market.

Oh, I can see the screenplay being written.

"Coming Halloween, 2024! Killer Kaarr!.

Aiden, malicious disgraced hacker gets into the networks of, Joel, his successful rival's self-driving taxi company, Kaarr. Joel and Aiden were CIA hackers, but fell out over their mutual love of Klara. Joel takes Klara to the heights of the elite, but she still pines for Aiden. In revenge, Aiden hacks into Kaarr's networks and makes all the cars into murderbots, locking his rival Joel inside as the killing commences. At the end of the night, all the Killer Kaarrs are set to drive into the ocean, killing a traumatized Joel. But there's only one problem, Klara is locked inside a Killer Kaarr too. Can Aiden reverse his sadistic code in time to save Klara? Can Joel escape to stop the killing? Find Out, Halloween 2024!

A horror/gore/race film with lots of body horror as people are alternatively hit, crushed, bonked, exploded, and otherwise tortured by cute little electric cars with really tinted windshields and choice camera angles. Think the hokey rubbery special effects of The Thing with a lot of cell phones and car-centric jump scares.
While I'm generally not a language prescriptivist, I gotta say no here. In real life, up until now, AFAIK we have NEVER used the word "contract" to refer to the underlying act that the contract is about. We've ALWAYS used it to refer to the associated documentation/statements of intent about the humans involved.

"Building a house" is not a contract. It's an act.

They're NOT CONTRACTS. They're automated transaction robots.
Traffic cones and detours also confuse human drivers.

The safety standard for robots cannot be that they never make a mistake.

The safety standard should be that they're 10% or 100% or 300% less likely to make a fatal mistake than a typical human driver.
So can you list the "false claims about language capabilities" here?
I'm wondering how many of the commenters here have experienced something similar? The trust is destroyed by the lay-offs, not the communication of them; there's no good or right way to do it, just bad and worse. You're still going to get complaints about how it went down, but after 3 different experiences I think the best one is fast, without warning, and no communication to those remaining until after it's done. Make sure you can answer their #1 question which will be "What did you do for my (now former) coworkers to help them move forward?". You only get one chance at cuts, so make sure you go deep enough. Example: 30% would hurt, but 10% x3 rounds finishes a company for a generation.
Transparency laws, stricter regulation on moving between regulatory agencies and regulated industries, in general, better democratic accountability. All of these are imperfect, but it's also the case that cryptocurrency doesn't make any of it better.
"but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can." ― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

I've always liked that quote as I have seen it over and over again in people I know. Those that can use and moderate to just a recreational use vs committing to a full on daily use (addiction by most acceptable use) is very small. I love to partake when I have the time and lack of responsibilities requiring all of my faculties. But when I've tried the daily use and watched my capabilities diminish has shown me that I'm not fully functional with that daily use so I just keep it in the recreational realm. From my 100% unschooled medical perspective, those that think they are 100% with daily use are just lying to themselves.
There's a fine line between preferring fresh garlic, and turning your nose up at garlic in a jar, and your preferences can be a lower priority. It's very situational.

If I'm making it myself? Fresh. If I'm at a restaurant and paying top dollar? Fresh. Fast food? Lol. At a friends' house being treated to meal? I'm not saying a word whatever they use.
Cool story! I have a brand new screwdriver set from the other end of the safety spectrum.

I lived in HK during the protests. There is a big gap between what was being reported in the western media (which I assume you consumed) and what was actually true.
Thank you! I didn't know about that!
I'm sorry but that makes completely no sense. "Why didn't you release software without any bugs?"

That's not how the world works. And it's open source, where hundreds of contributors help you find and fix these bugs. That's the whole point.

Mux (YC W16) | SF, London, REMOTE (US, CAN, and UK) | Full-Time | Elixir, Golang, TypeScript/React | https://mux.com/jobs

Mux is how developers build online video.

With Mux Video, developers gain access to a powerful API for video streaming--think Stripe for Video. A dev doesn't need to have strong feelings about ffmpeg settings to get started and your team can focus on building your actual product instead of bolting together a video pipeline. Mux Data helps developers realize actionable insights into how their videos perform from platform to platform, place to place, and user to user. And our newest product, Mux Real-Time Video, really simplifies WebRTC and many-to-many interactions over video--it's really cool.

I'm Ed, and I'm a senior eng on the DevEx team here. This is a pretty good place to be, IMO. There is a real and concerted focus on not just competence but on the human side of things; one of the company's core values is "be human" and I thought it was marketing stuff 'til I joined and learned to my surprise that it is emphatically not. The onboarding experience is comprehensive and pleasant and it gets a lot of positive feedback from new folks, too.

Mux runs a multi-cloud environment using Kubernetes on AWS and GCP, with Elixir, Golang, and some NodeJS (some JS, mostly TypeScript), plus React and TypeScript for all the usual bells and whistles.

If video is your thing--or even it just sounds interesting and you'd like to explore it!--you should check us out. At the moment our hiring is limited to the US, Canada, and the UK, but the company is fully remote; I'm in Boston and I don't feel disconnected compared to the SF folks. Feel free to head on over to https://mux.com/jobs and check out our openings; we run a pretty standard interview-loop process and I don't feel like we waste candidates' time. (We've hired multiple people from HN Who's Hiring threads, too.) Even if you don't see an immediate spot that clicks with you, feel free to reach out regardless!

Reasonable...but I suspect that YT's "technology to automatically annotate..." is actually pretty sucky in the real world - high error rates, lots of (paid hourly) moderation needed, pushback from Legal on "issues and exposure" that it creates, etc. So they're not gonna deploy that tech against hazards which don't have a huge body count and/or political weight behind 'em.
application of technology to sports has its critics but there is a way to do this in order to improve fairness and upgrade spectator experience. How these decisions are communicated to the fans (and players) is critical to the success of implementation. Like any change management, it's getting the stakeholders involved that is critical to success

I got zapped by the capacitor of a photo flash twice. I studied electronics, I was being carefully, and still I messed up. The second time I was being even more careful and I thought the capacitor was discharged. I'm not even sure how it happened, I was holding the PCB by the edges.
The -12v rails are typically low current though. The real danger is a poorly built supply or an electrolytic capacitor exploding in your face (had this happen once).

Incidentally, does anyone know what the -12v rails are used for? Some kind of reference?
In Europe it is common for multiple months of high pitch negotiations between "wanting to lay off" and layoffs. Usually without any riots or panic.

I don't think a sudden layoff at any time is an assurance for workers in the sense that it is better to pretend everything is Ok until it isn't.
The trick is to always send previously unconfirmed inputs. That way if a packet is dropped the missing input is delivered in the next packet.
exactly! Plus, they do throw out 98% of the microwave... just to save a clump of iron which is one of the more easily recycled materials. Admittedly, it's in layers with resin between, but I'm sure that resin will cook right off in the massive slag crucibles.
The government can't keep their own secrets contained most of the time. They are not controlling the media. That is beyond silly to even suggest.
Ah, my bad - literally "accessible".

I don't use a wheelchair and I don't know about the London underground but I can tell you that public transport in the small town I lived for 15 years were eminently accessible, as evidenced by the continuous presense of passengers with obvious (and varied) mobility issues on them.

In any case improving accessibility on public transport also does not require any new technology that we don't know how to create. It just requires political will.
Sorry, I'm not sure what I said that implies I would want that.

Hyperoptic (my ISP at the time) wouldn't have rolled out FTTC if not for the back-haul capacity supplied from the Olympic village.

I didn't have 4G/LTE (or even 3G) in my flat. It was really untenable.

I don't really understand the other replies to my comment, are people upset that houses got demolished? lots of single family homes are gone but there's a lot more mid/high density in the area now. Towers in Stratford that came about from the developments in the area.

I was living in Bow in mid-density apartment blocks (4-5 floors, near Devon Road DLR) if that helps give context.
Google has a deep issue here. It shows again and again that they aren't concerned about legalese.

- don't check if their customer is on the sanctions list.

- make it possible for their GA users to ignore GDPR

- knowingly ignore tax regulations to own benefit

- many other illegal practices / dark patterns / monopolistic behaviour

At this point, it's clear that Google being Google is not going to change of itself, as long as it is allowed to proceed like this. The only solution is to regulate Google and force it to comply with legal systems, using billion dollar fines if nothing else works, and splitting Google to avoid further monopolization.
Stage magicians learn ways to recover from trick errors, either by switching to another trick, replacing the deck, or having someone pull the fire alarm.

<<What is equally interesting is the inevitable comparison to Russia and 'special operation' happening in Ukraine ( because it certainly is not war ).

I suppose it was awkwardly phrased on my part, which invited that comment. Russia's act of aggression is an act of war against Ukraine, but Russia calls it special operation, while US is engaged in various conflicts, which it deems 'anti-terrorism' activity. This is what intended to mean by that sentence.

What is more interesting is that US is now officially in a proxy war with Russia as well.

Hey all - I’m a former healthcare VC that’s working through a CS master’s degree at Penn with the ultimate goal of jumping into an engineering role. As a VC at Echo Health Ventures (http://www.echohealthventures.com) I invested in healthcare delivery businesses like Dispatch Health, Genome Medical, Heartbeat Health, and TytoCare. I helped these businesses find product/market fit, scale operations into new markets and channels, and optimize their financial planning / fundraising. Prior to Echo I was a healthcare investment banker at J.P. Morgan.

My master’s program has a flexible schedule so I’m primarily looking for an internship or “working student” role where I can contribute to a product codebase in a professional/production context. Feel free to reach out if you have a role that could be a good fit for a highly motivated graduate student with substantial real-world experience (including fairly deep healthcare domain knowledge) and a growing tech skill set.

While I would prefer an engineering role, I’m also available to serve as a formal or informal advisor to venture-backed businesses. As an ex-VC, I have lots of insight into fundraising, business planning, and product development (especially in the healthcare space). I’d love to help de-mystify VC for early startups and/or work with established teams to help optimize capital formation or product development. For this type of engagement, I’d prefer to work with folks who are local to Seattle, but I’m open to a remote arrangement as well. Reach out and we can grab a coffee or set up a zoom meeting to get introduced.

I’ve had a bunch of good conversations with folks from prior threads - I look forward to chatting with you!
OTOH We've had some new trams with A/C that doesn't really measure up and you cannot open the windows. Same with trains.

Above 30°C it's actually more comfortable to just ventilate the train instead of A/C.

> If it is just driven by speculation, then what makes for "normal market cycles" in speculation?

Miners are rewarded in BTC for keeping the network secure, and they sell these BTC to cover operating costs. Every four years, the mining rewards are cut in half (per the consensus protocol). Miners have less coins to sell, which results in a supply shock. The price floor between these supply shocks is ostensibly determined by economic activity outside of speculation. This has resulted in a repeating four-year market cycle. Of course this pattern will only continue until it doesn't.

Go watch CNN for an entire day and write down how many times Yemen or Palestine is mentioned compared with Ukraine. Come up with your own hypothesis about why this is. It's more complicated than just "government control", but thankfully people have been thinking about this for a while.

The gini of Indonesia, at ~37, isn't low, but it isn't particularly high either. Below Malaysia, China, and the Philippines, but above Thailand. Mobility is hard to track at Indonesia's level of development. All I could find was this study, which suggests relatively high educational mobility in the Jakarta "slums" [1] and this study that suggests that Indonesia is an outlier in terms of having high mobility relative to its level of inequality [2].
