Reddit encourages in-group domination, by way of ignoring policy-violating cross-subreddit moderation and banning; Twitter, by design, encourages user retention through passionate engagement with other users, and most often that passion is hatred.

HN doesn't have a corollary for sub-reddits, or a personal feed, or similar. Its singular subject focus is its virtue; but, as you claim, it will fall. All things will, and the problem with HN is that there is _too much money to be made_ by swaying opinion on this forum.

That reminds me of an Eckhart Tolle quote: “The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but thought about it. Be aware of the thoughts you are thinking. Separate them from the situation, which is always neutral. It is as it is.”

My favorite experience with Amazon:

I had just preordered novel 9 of The Expanse, and I got an email recommending something else from the same authors: novel 8 of the Expanse. A more sensible recommendation engine might have assumed that someone who preorders part n+1 of a series may already have part n. Not to mention that Amazon should have known that I already had novel 8 on my Kindle.

I guess generating personalized recommendations at scale is still too expensive. We just get recommendations based on what other customers with vaguely similar tastes were interested in.

I can see how it sounds pretentious, but it's somewhat true. After you have the limits of your financial investments explorable, you aren't just going to ignore the potentially soul destroying daily grind. You do it if it does something for you, and if you're basically rich, you might as put your energy in a different place.

But you're right, the 70k place might be just as much work, but they just don't make that much money, or any other series of situations.

You're splitting hairs about the colloquial usage of the word 'administration' in the American context. I meant 'governing body' in general, including the executive, the legislative and the judicial. I understand it's usually meant to represent only the executive.

> I would argue anyone looking to any administration for solutions versus the legislators doesn't understand how the US government works.

You latest 2 comments are prime examples of fallacies. You've started with the `Fallacy of relative privation` about what the 'real' problems are, ending with some sort of 'Ad hominem'.

To your point about what the executive can do (although that's not what I meant), the executive has influence. The executive doesn't function in an isolated bubble and can 'drive' a solution to any systemic problem through the branches of the government.
> If, for example, the person was a stakeholder in a competitive company and documented that they were trying to hurt the company, then it obviously wouldn’t be an honest opinion.

An engineer at Ford could say that they think the new Silverado is a POS. It could be their honest opinion AND could be said for the purposes of damaging Chevy. Someone can be biased and still honest.

Even if you found evidence they made the opposite claim in another forum, they can still argue that their honest opinion changed over time.

A long time as a lurker I was actually thinking that HN would not accumulate the karma people are gaining. Maybe that was silly, but I had the idea of people are not here for fake internet points.
I am wondering what would happen if karma wouldn't actually accumulate.
How? Please be specific. What would the user send to Glassdoor and how would Glassdoor use it to prove that the user is a single, living human?
Mythbusters set up radio control for cars all the time. There's a GPS, compass, and accelerometer in your pocket. The FAA seems to be pretty good at directing airplanes through airports. USAF has pilots operating drones on the other side of the world. It seems like all the tech is extant. It'd be hugely expensive like I said....

But that claim wasn't really the point I was trying to make. Pick some other more plausible (but still radical) safety measure we could take with cars. Way more stringent licensing, speed limiters, self-driving, or massive increases in public transport.

> (b) most people would be vehemently against it.

Why is that? 40,000 people die in the US every year. Why don't we allocate more resources to solving that? That's the question I think is interesting.
The point is, every driver you interact with might be drunk or distracted. In a collision with a drunk in a car, I'd rather be in a bus.
Yep - as a top-tier passive candidate in data science, I swipe left on job postings and recruiter emails that don't provide a salary range upfront.

Interviews are an enormous investment of time and effort these days. I won't go through one unless I'm extremely confident I can come out with the offer I want.
not a repeating reader on this topic here, but I am more interested in the character in the dark glasses than the Economist Magazine-style snippets on current measures of market participation and mining. How is it that this dark-glasses guy chooses a portrait like "here I am in the furthest reaches of wilderness with a private (modest) aircraft and good quality outdoor clothes" ? who is this Anglo-guy who travels over continents and knows the price of things that originate in such secretive ways ? It is either remarkably impressive, or just over-the-top self-absorbed, or both.. which seems reflective of the "me against the world" individualists who are attracted to high-value, high-risk, scarce things that can be traded anywhere there are finance people, on Earth. Like a top-tier hunting bird, literally.. not all animals are like that. Not all communities can sustain these people. It takes multiple economies to get one "dshr" ?

It is pretty easy to disregard or actually hate on owners of mega-yachts. (have you actually seen one of those ships?) It is less obvious how to react to the Eagle guy in glasses. Its like comic-level almost, the personae presented. Anyway, thats my reaction..
HN has many problems and groupthink like all online communities, but one thing that sets it apart is higher quality effort posts are actually rewarded here because people still are generally curious. It's not deterministic as you said, but there is a correlation. On every other platform save some (some) subreddits, effort posts are anti-correlated with karma. So on net HN is better.

Is it the Lyceum, the height of learned, reasoned debate and intellectual curiosity? No, HN is definitely not an ideal but it is certainly better, on net compared with the alternatives, not that the alternatives are harsh competition.
> Pretty much all of embedded firmware or hardware driver development.

Any hardware used in something that has an on-call process, itself has an on-call process (or is from somewhere large enough to offer follow-the-sun support). As I said it may not involve the same engineers, but it's there.

> The entire video game industry excluding online play.

That's also a vanishingly small portion of employment in the games industry.

> Mobile app developers.

Again, most mobile apps are... for some kind of web service, or have some kind of backend, and so have some kind of on-call team.

> The many software developers that provide solutions for enterprise software with 9-5 support contracts

Examples? Just because not everyone is paying for the 5-9 contract, doesn't mean it's not there.

> Whole fields of consulting and integration experts that set their own hours.

Yes. What percentage of the industry is independent consultants? Why would you include them when I already qualified "full-time software engineers"?
> While a careful, attentive driver in a well-maintained vehicle certainly isn’t immune, their risk is much lower than someone who drives tired, drunk, or high in a car with bald tires and bad brakes.

You could have just stopped at "control". That's the fundamental dynamic by which we can explain this differential public sentiment--a sense of control or lack thereof, independent of whether that control actually exists, or whether that control translates to reduced risk. You went off the rails trying to link it to some objective reality; it's unnecessary, and in any event even the best of drivers takes on more risk while on the road than riding passenger rail.

Control also figures into notions of ethics and justice. We're much more willing to accept losses when we attribute the proximate cause to "nature", "god", "chance", etc. But our moral calculus shifts dramatically when the decision of a particular person or group can be fingered (reasonably or not) as a primary factor. You already subtly did that by insinuating blame upon many traffic victims. (I'm not saying the insinuation was improper or impermissible... we all frequently do that; it's a staple of public discourse and even personal reflection. Just highlighting the extent to which notions of control color our views.)
(ql:quickload :plot/vega) isn't working for me with the latest quicklisp dist, what am I doing wrong
Just goes to show you that sometimes, it's not the package but what's in the package that counts.
How so? It could very well be, but it's a risk assessment. Definitely keep going if there's a tangible and at least pseudo-measurable benefit, maybe skills or true impact, but for a company that just pays a fixed salary, I just see it as a burnout risk. You need to have the resources and autonomy to realize those benefits too, but a lot of people don't even get the choice between a mac or a pc in a dev position depending on where you work. Spend the time outside work doing something else that creates personal value. If that's working on the same thing you did all day anyway, there should be a way to connect that with compensation, and of course I do know that a lot of people have stock and big bonuses, I've just personally never had those

One of the more contagious variants of omicron (BA2.12) came out of central New York and responsible for all sub-variants like BA.2.12.1 which has been the dominant strain in the USA for the last 3 months.

It seems to me that we will never know for sure where any mutation "originated" with certainty only where it was first detected but it also seems clear to me that the fewer people infected the less chance there would be for a mutation.
Personality is usually hinted at in the symbology, like the logo, slogan, palette, and the eyeglass frames worn by agency leadership. :-) It's easy to use archetypal terms to sum it up. Agency A is the cheerleader. Agency B is the bad boy. Agency C is the fixer. And so on.

Leverage point is where the personality is proven to work well in industry.

There is definitely groupthink here too, albeit in certain threads and certain types of articles. It isn't as much of a club like a subreddit is but it definitely exists.
You posted 2, its well in the anecdotal spectrum.

You just went though the cycle and already think you know which are the better candidates. But we all know that performance is measured by doing the work.

It's a fun idea thou. Perhaps others can follow the example and we may gather meaningful data.
A black company is basically a highly exploitative company. They will wring out employees for as much as possible, mostly within legal constraints, at the detriment of employees and the benefit of themselves. [0] probably explains it better.

Since changing jobs is seen as a huge risk and the culture among individuals is to remain loyal, it allows black companies to take advantage of naïve, mostly young individuals. You see similar things outside Japan, but less stigma on changing jobs makes it easier to get away from these situations.

>Which things?

E.g.: you don't need to be extremely judgmental of individuals ditching a job to still have the benefits of loyal employees being rewarded and having a family feeling within the company. Which would solve most of the problems with bad/malicious companies taking advantage of the situation.

> Things like, "this is terrible, how can this be permitted" used to get downvoted more (a lot, in fact), while I see some make it through the cracks lately, as long as they somewhat express a thought.

This sort of comment is the hot grits and petrified natalie portman of HN. Probably not good enough to consistently rise to the top, but popular enough to farm karma.

The problem, I think, is that HN is attracting the late-stage users, who see up/down as agree/disagree and not contributing/obstructing.
Yeah, maybe book a flight for 1 hour from now and hope they don't find out in time...
I consider this very good news.

US companies have a monopoly in highend logic chips (Intel, AMD, Apple Silicon, Qualcomm).

Would the US be able to maintain this by its crazy sanction policy, the whole tech sector would suffer.

For simple, battle-tested web server, you can't go wrong with net/http.

A couple of us are working on Bud (http://github.com/livebud/bud), which aims to be a full-stack web framework for Go, similar to Laravel or Rails.

The project is getting better very quickly! If you're working on a greenfield project and want more out of the box, I'd encourage you to give Bud a try!
Following through the example, if assembly language works well, then there's no justification to do it in C. One needs to find (valid) reasons to justify such decisions.
I particularly appreciate the project structure of the linked repo. Its good to see actual production application code beyond a hello-world todo style app for languages like Rust and toolkits like Svelte. I look forward to going through the various pieces and learning them better by example.
> most of these issues are split almost perfectly 50-50

between the representatives, not between the people. Couple that with gerrymandering, vestiges of election laws back from the times when the red coats were still a threat and corporate money, it's no surprise that the people are disenfranchised when it comes to these issues.

I would go and say this is all intentional, btw. The government is doing a great job at promoting the interests of the entities they're actually representing.
Neurotransmitter neurotensin makes memories positive or negative
Yes, anything is always up for critical inspection (pretty much), as far as I'm concerned. If you show me a thorough analysis showing that their content is systematically biased, I'd have a look. Or if you show me that a particular study is flawed. I'm well aware of the massive replication crises in multiple disciplines, and of the fact that this news section is separate from their journals.

But the poster was only questioning the publisher's motives (which I think can't be done without looking at who the publisher is and what their incentives are, which the poster didn't do), without discussing the evidence at hand at all, and without any acknowledgement of the fact that their own reaction to this news might also be driven by what they want to be true.

He should have just made those youtube livestream giveaway videos instead--the ones impersoning famous people like Michael Saylor and others. Those people make way more and no arrests.
They were used in a lot of films in general for a long time until people decided they weren't "hip" or "cool" anymore. There's a lot of classic MGM musicals too, for instance, with all sorts of fun wipes. Classic TV shows also used to be full of wipes, especially game shows. Modern editing moved to focus almost exclusively on unadorned CUTs, but for a relatively long time in cinema the CUT was just one tool in the toolbox.

Most screenplays the only "scene break" you will see is:

CUT TO:

But it used to be part of screenplay creativity as well that you might want to note the relationship of two scenes with a:

WIPE TO:

Or even a specific wipe (that became most associated with 60s/70s game shows):

STAR WIPE TO:

But these days people generally consider that "wrong" in a screenplay for anything other than a CUT TO or maybe a LONG CUT TO (traditionally used to show that a character died [1] or similar reason to "pay respects to a moment") and a lot of Hollywood feels that scene transitions should be "left" to directors and editors in the creative process (and that in today's films you rarely use anything other than a basic cut, the rest are too "ostentatious" and "distracting"). So the "scene break" in screenplays starts to feel very vestigial now that it's just about locked to CUT TO.

[1] The editing of The Sixth Sense spoiled the movie for me, at least.
Yes, that is definitely a possibility. My point was "the average quality of candidates goes down when you post a salary range" can be true even if the salary range is very good.

Not true. Plenty of people apply for stretch positions they're not qualified to do. They may still accept a lower position, so long as it's established early on. I've hired people like this before.
They most likely didn't care to talk to zmcartor and just chatted with their other coworkers, leaving them to feel alone. It sucks when it happens.

Sounds like that's exactly what he got, tbh.
Then why did they do it 6 times?
Depended on the stage for us. Initially we didn't and just had the risks in our heads. Once we got a bit bigger (~10-15 employees) then we formalized it and put in regular reviews etc.

I guess it probably depends on your business and funding approach as well. We were selling B2B and lots of our larger customers required compliance with ISO27001 or similar, so had a get some proper processes in place for that too. I'd imagine that any investors would require this too, but we were bootstrapped, so I'm not 100% on that.

Started off feeling fairly unnecessary to me, but actually it made more sense as the business grew and new people/departments started bringing in new risks that I was less familiar with.
Oh for certain; allowing group-moderation by way of up/down voting will _necessarily_ encourage groupthink.
I really depends. There's a long-running, recurrent myth that HN is becoming like reddit.

I think the real cause of what you're observing is that users on HN go through cycles of enculturation, which can include being modded by dang (or challenged/flagged by other users) for crossing the line.

I used to feel frustrated that HN is very limited in its scope of what's allowed -- "curiosity only" which often excludes issues that really matter to me. It can take a while for users to really get that here. But on the other hand, it has allowed an extremely unique anonymous online community to thrive in its own way, and keep us coming back out of curiosity and a desire to learn.
That is very expansive, for a $100 a lot of teenagers could make it.

The Uncertainty Monster
Correct they are charged with Wire Fraud and Conspiracy to commit Wire fraud

They are not charged with securities violations, despite roping in the Securities Exchange Commission, because the government is not confident that it can bring a securities violation. They are not charged with any statute under commodities regulations or consumer product fraud either.

The government is using a new interpretation of wire fraud, because people really don't like that this action occurred and NFT's affected enough people.

So the wire fraud is a stretch but is the most reliable catch-all charge they have, absent any guidance from Congress.

I also think it is overly ambitious. DOJ did this a few months ago as well in another NFT case. In both cases they relied on the existence of a confidentiality agreement with the employer, to trigger the mapping of a financial action to a fraud statute.
It really is! I used to get dragged in on them but made a new account with the premise of not falling for those flamewars and to try create more than I consume.
