> It seems like this policy has two negative impacts on minorities and only one on white people.

Yeah, but the minorities who kept their jobs even it out to 1 point for whites and 1 point for minorities.

Cause that's who this shit works, as a zero-sum game.
Mindblowing ... they think they do something good, but they make it worse for everybody.

I don’t know the way around this, but I do think it’s good that power is not centralized in one governmental structure, even if that structure is Democratic, and I also think it’s good that there are a diverse set of philosophies determining how philanthropy should happen.

I don’t know that I love the idea of billionaires being the solution to those two problems, but I do think that some part of our resiliency as a nation is because the government doesn’t have total control over those things.

Not to mention the obvious conundrum that this may be great when the party you support is in power but not so great when they’re not.
Great, Discord has reinvented forums in a walled garden with a gamified payment model.
I didn't know Qt could look like this! Bravo
Having a billion pieces of paper does not matter. Literally paper. Digits on a computer. The supply of this paper is not even fixed.

It only matters when billionaires convert that paper into food, housing, jets, etc, for themselves does it actually affect anyone.

But, by a huge margin, the largest expense billionaires have is investment in other people and companies.

If billionaires squandered their wealth on short term self indulgence that would be one thing, but they don't. They typically give it all away.

I don't see the big policy failure here, or why that is a currently a problem that needs solving.
If I'm being honest, I'm on Twitter for the pure schadenfreude of seeing public figures — journalists, celebrities, politicians — get publicly humiliated in real time, usually after saying something inadvertently funny or embarrassing. I'm not proud of it, but it has resulted in some of the funniest content I've ever seen on the internet.
We thought long and hard about how people could game the system but ultimately it will be quite difficult because you still have to convince a large number of developers to actually use and depend on your project. And since the flow of donations and dependencies is public, the community will not look kindly one individuals trying such tactics.
I predict that the corporate owned 'news' media will come down hard on the strikers. I base this on the 'coverage' of Occupy Wall Street, and more recently the Canadian truckers and farmers in The Netherlands. Elite financial interests doing what they do...
Does the distinction matter? Is changing W pages into X pages meaningfully safer?
Seems well thought out. It prevents someone from maliciously adding their phone number to, say, your mom in Contacts.
Awesome, thanks for the link. I'll probably use that as a response whenever someone complains about compilation/setup being too complicated - the compilation instructions on page 4 should give them a proper baseline ;)
I think I wasn't clear enough in my initial post, but we personally reach out to and recruit and manage the freelancers ourselves, not through a jobs platform. Our business needs very specialized people you can't really find on Upwork
When I saw the announcement of the release of the Bitcoin 0.3 client back on Slashdot in 2010, both the whitepaper and the comments (and who was making them) cemented my view as it being more of the "an-cap gold-buggery" that the site was rampant with. Basically the same people making the same arguments that they had over the Liberty Dollar a year previously following the arrest of its founders, and before that any time money came up as a topic i.e. fiat bad, gold good - which carried straight into fiat bad, gold good, Bitcoin best of all...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_dollar_(private_curren...
More deserving of what? The argument is that wealth/social capital/whatever accumulated by your ancestors rightfully belongs and can be transferred to you.
Well, we have 3 things it could mean: Cachegrand, Aerospike and dragonflydb.

Since the comment says "Trust me as a committer it smokes aerospike and dragonflydb." we can rule out aerospike and dragonflydb, which leaves us with "it" being Cachegrand. Ain't that deep.
One of the ways to find out is to visit the job sites and do research. I like Indeed.com. Linked-In is another decent place to search. If you post a resume, recruiters will likely reach out and be happy to discuss what they're seeing in the market regarding your skill-set/interests/desired compensation. You might also try Meetup.com to see if there are any groups with people interested in what you're looking for because direct referrals (from networking) mean that you might not have to share your rate with a 3rd party.

Also, on the first day of each month, there's a HN thread for hire/hiring/contracting that you can read or add yourself to.
Unfortunately, without being able to run the code yourself or at least seeing a benchmark, it's hard to commit to unreleased code like this

One reason we have those guidelines is that comments like this tend to get upvoted to the top of threads, where they sit gathering mass, letting off fumes, and choking out more interesting discussion. That's where this one was when I saw it a moment ago. Unfortunately, it takes manual intervention to do anything about, which is scarce and intermittent at best.

Tesla struggles with strict return-to-office policy
I'd guess the following: if Apple is a company that is mostly trying too sell UX and seamless integration as a part of that, but has to break quite a lot of that every time an 'extreme' protection measure is used, then it stands to reason that they'd make the 'mess up the UX' thing all contained in one option.

It makes for a very clear demarcation as to why the product doesn't work as it normally should, and an abundance of differentiation would remove all of the guessing as to "why is feature X not doing what I expect" for the user of the device.
Why the generic link to apple's testflight?
I agree 100%, which is if we now don't want 'arms' to be protected generally, the constitution should be amended to exclude nukes or whatever. Not just make shit up on the fly and say 'well it says arms but nah, we'll just ignore that because if it sounds absurd I can just re-interpret it at will'
I'm an uncool dad but thought the check mark was like, this account really is the famous person the account claims to be, like Brad Pitt or Oprah. Now it's always someone I've never heard of.
Instead of storing values, like "dog", "cat", or "mouse" it stores (in this example) three binary numbers:

000 - whatever needs to associate with animals, but has no associations currently

001 - whatever it is is associated with having a "mouse" included

111 - whatever it is is associated with having a "dog", a "cat" and a "mouse" included

In the past, high cardinality data sets weren't good for storing in binary form, or a binary index, but nowadays there are ways around this. So, that list of animals could be quite large.

The primary reason it's so much faster is that many CPUs nowadays can do 10s of lookups in a single instruction cycle. That makes them extremely fast.

A most unfortunate choice of name for anyone in a German speaking country, as (if pronounced as if it were a German word) it sounds exactly like the word for vomit.
The single window option from IntelliJ is a hack of sorts, the last I checked they have some notion about importing a module vice a project. I'm not sure why on earth you would want separate windows though when, say, you're working on multiple Spring Boot projects and a couple of library jar projects that all interact with each other. Switching back and forth from window to window seems like self cutting.
>Overall it's very interesting to see Apple invest so significantly in something that will benefit relatively few users -- not that I'm complaining!

I would say that this is at the very least a strong marketing point. "We are secure by default, and the most secure phone out-of-the-box on the planet if needed".

The hardware itself must be trusted to an extent, too. Is there an android-compatible device/ROM combination that can advertise the same level of security as this lockdown mode, without spending two days configuring it?
I didn't seem to see how fast this "high-speed" train was supposed to run. Anyone have details on that aspect? Would this be high-speed for the U.S., or actually competitively high speed compared to the rest of the world (like 200+ miles/hr)? I would hope they would reject anything lower than 200 mph, since that would seem to me to be about the breakeven point of the hassle involved with dealing with centralized train stations at the departure/destination, not having a car at your destination, having to deal with fixed schedules that the trains run on, dealing with whatever "security" there would be, arriving early to the station, boarding time, etc., and all of a sudden your hypothetical 1 hour trip from Portland to Seattle starts to look not-so-enticing.
Why would it be obvious we should implicitly trust (since all they said is "trust me") a committer to a project that their project is better (in any dimension) than competitors to their project?

That didn't make sense to me so I assumed they must not be a contributor to cachegrand.
Just combine the golf courses and cemeteries! Problem solved.
Yeah I’m in the camp where I want to see rapid progress above a decent quality of life for everyone. I feel like we’re rapidly approaching a point where technology can realistically solve all of our basic problems and want to get there as quickly as possible even if it means pain in the short term (probably our lifetimes). Obviously not everyone will agree with me but in the US even a grinding life isn’t all that bad relatively. You won’t go hungry, if you’re not drug addled you’ll rarely be on the streets for very long, if you have a mental condition or disability you get money from the government, minimum wage jobs are very, very easy to get, we have a problem with cops but on the whole our justice system actually lets anyone get justice etc.

> - You can follow certain channels in another server. Or sometimes you can't. No idea why. Did the owner block it? I have no idea. Sometimes you just don't have the option and there's nothing to tell you why. Overall this is just a bad experience also

Server owners have the option to create announcement channels (different from text channels), you can subscribe to those and the owners of the channel can choose to publish posts. You can tell which channels you can subscribe to by the megaphone instead of the hashtag on the left of the channel name.

> - Icons for the servers you're on. I know what it's called. I don't know the name. Maybe there's a way to search for that? If so, it doesn't appear to be obvious;

Here's the note from Yvon https://www.patagonia.com/ownership/

One of the most interesting parts of this is the choice to make Holdfast a C4. They really wanted to make this a political organization, and were willing to forgo a staggering amount of tax savings - in fact, $17m in tax donating away a $3b asset. Probably the least effective estate planning from a raw $ perspective in history.

Major props to the family for doing this - this is now the definition of "putting your money where your mouth is", and I hope this model is a success and serves as a template for others to follow.
Denmark not offering second Covid booster shot to healthy adults under 50
Essentially, developers/project have to opt-out from participating on your site.

This is the problem that these "fund open source" projects run in to time and time again. Gittip (if I remember correctly) had the same issue. You're accepting funds under the name of various open source projects but not necessarily funding them. Often developers aren't even aware of the parallel funding channel and are rightfully upset about it.

I'm not saying your intentions are bad, and as an open source developer I'd love for a funding model that worked. I've just seen tens of different iterations on this same idea and none have stuck.
Lazy means you only get them when you search for them.

From the "imaging of a healthy human brain" video description I thought "wait is this in vivo", but no, it is very ex vivo. But wow, to get that kind of resolution over that large a field-of-view is far far beyond what regular clinical and even industrial CT can do.

Yes, as someone who does international travel and frequently switches phone numbers, dealing with phone-based 2FA """security""" is a major problem for me. At least I will not waste time on their website.

I just never give my phone number out anymore, no matter what because it will be used against me. Even google is trying to hold my account hostage, luckily they have an email forwarding feature so I no longer need to log in.
Hm, it would be interesting if they had toggles for each feature with some kind of UI element/hint/incentive to have it all on.

Think of how Apple maintains their image, and who they claim this is for. They don't want a journalist killed because they thought they had Lockdown Mode on, but they had link previews in SMS and got hit by a zero-day tracker.

This is just patently untrue and plays out in every office across the entire world every day.

What makes someone a competent manager is whether or not they complete their assigned tasks and projects that come down from above.

You don't like people who are direct and brutal in their feedback. Got it.

Hell, you can turn back the clock to 2004-2008 World of Warcraft and see this for yourself. The best guilds in the world had leadership that was brutally forthright - bordering on downright cruel - to their membership, but they still managed to execute, because when everyone's goals are aligned, you'll be surprised the shit people are willing to entertain. And not only were these people not being paid, they had to pay to play the damn game!

And yes, I know the analogy doesn't map perfectly onto work for several reasons, but the crux of the idea is there: a harsh taskmaster can move mountains with a little bit of fear (I'll replace you with a shell script if your performance doesn't improve) and a lot of honesty.

In the future, you could save us both a lot of time and effort by just saying, "I don't like this management style."

But I've seen it in video games, I've seen it in startups, I've seen it in Fortune 500 companies, and I've seen it in the military. Properly implemented, it works wonders.

Maybe when the same URL is posted again in HN, the platform should automatically insert a first post with links to the previous discussions, as someone did here. It’s not irrelevant to repost, but it could be useful to have pointers to previous conversations. Similarly, the platform could warn the poster that its a repost (a bit like stackoverflow does, but simpler - just using link equality).

They typically give it all away.

They do? The Kennedys, Rockefellers, etc certainly haven't. Those families have been massively wealthy for several generations.

Sure but the inevitable consequence of this is higher housing costs. If there's only 800k housing units, and a million people want to live there then 200k people are going to fail to find housing. There's no escaping the mismatch between supply and demand. If you don't build more housing, the character of the city will change too: it will become uniformly high-income since that's the only people who can afford to live there.
