Sorta related to (1) but not really: there are also more "advanced" detection techniques that most sites use to identify things like ban evasion and harassment using multiple accounts. If they say "we identified that you are the same person using this other account and have reason to believe you've created this new account solely to evade that ban" then people will start to learn what techniques are being used to identify multiple accounts and get better at evading detection.

Myth is an overly harsh label.

When the headline unemployment rate is the only thing the vast majority of people hear about and what politicians boast about, it's entirely reasonable to remind people that it's common to misunderstand what "unemployment rate" actually means.

Most people do think it's something closer in relation to labor participation rate.
It's hard to see colleagues who are good folks be laid off. It makes leadership seem out of touch.

I've seen three "mentors" get laid off in my career, and it really reinforced in me this idea that leadership doesn't necessarily care about your technical abilities. Sometimes the best people get cut.
"The origins of the latest epithet in vogue are harmless." The origin of the word is irrelevant. Words mean things and can be harmful, regardless of the origin of the word. The meaning and context of words can change over time, regardless of the origin of the word.

Bringing Charles Darwin into the conversation does not help your point.

"Is it worse to have some condition of your birth used as a casual insult -- a reminder of your misfortune? Or is it worse to be constantly patronized, often behind your back by throngs offended on your behalf?"

This is a false trade-off. The whole conversation started because someone used a harmful word, knowing full well it was harmful. If they refrained from using the offensive word they knew was offensive neither condition would have happened (casual insult or patronization).
Furthermore, imagine if someone unknowingly embarks on a major step in life like buying a home, getting married, pregnant, moving, etc, and boom this hammer drops. You live on your toes if this is how the companies behave.
S&P500 3700 (current levels) * 0.8 (another 20% drop) = 2960

Interesting prediction.
No, I think enough studies have been done to conclude there's an issue. For instance, some other recent ones:

* Personalized microbiome-driven effects of non-nutritive sweeteners on human glucose tolerance, https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(22)00919-9

* Artificial Sweeteners Negatively Regulate Pathogenic Characteristics of Two Model Gut Bacteria, E. coli and E. faecalis, https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/22/10/5228

* Artificial sweeteners and risk of cardiovascular diseases: results from the prospective NutriNet-Santé cohort, https://www.bmj.com/content/378/bmj-2022-071204

These are all from different countries.
I have yet to see an environment that controlling the layout is not a nightmare pretty quickly.

The entirety of the web world with their rube goldberg interactions between way too many divs isn't exactly giving me inspiration that modern approaches are going to be an answer here.
Oppositely, I suspect they do count fake (or unfillable) job openings that employers post for a variety of reasons (needed formally for internal promotions to the need to say you're hiring in order to say you're growing to bureaucracies confused about they're aims etc).
Well, Canada is roughly on same latitude as Europe and Canadians are not walking ice cubes last time I checked on them.

What caused you to get lost in the weeds before, would love to help! Was it a software or technical resources problem. I work on https://github.com/pion/webrtc and https://webrtcforthecurious.com and love solving both problem :)

WebRTC has a really cool feature called `ICE Restart` that solves the 'walk out the door' problem.
The central banks, harassed by the fed, are however, pouring a cold bath.
It appears the project hasn't optimized for production (yet?). For now, I can't help but think it may be possible to cobble together a Sprig using inexpensive Pi Pico HATs and 3D printing. Here's the schematic:

We’re hiring frontendy full stack engineers here at Farallon capital, located in the SF Financial district. If you’re departing Stripe and looking for new opportunities drop me a line at gw@farcap.com
Like I wrote on a similar thread a few days ago, some of these expectations seem a tad misplaced, but I would buy one in a flash if it was available in my country, as a _personal_ ultra-quiet desktop with a good Linux userland and the ability to drive a 5K2K display or matching pixel acreage.

For my terminal-centric lifestyle WSL2 is fine, and all of my personal machines run either Linux or macOS even though I happen to work for MS. And getting a fully working aarch64 Linux userland with Windows 11 window management and PowerToys is, well… tempting.

I am, however, increasingly leaning towards just getting a Khadas Edge 2 Pro (which has an RK3588S and a comparable amount of RAM and storage). I don’t think Jeff has tested that one yet (and it should come in below the SQ2), but if you want _fast_ aarch64 readily available, it seems to be the thing to beat (I can see it now on my regional Amazon store, a click away… must… resist…)
Hello, feel free to reach out on the chat for more free trial if you need!

I didn't try Amie personally, but I agree that importing tasks automatically via integration is one of our differentiators. We put a lot of effort into creating a strong task management tool and we have a set of features to enhance planning. For example, we added rituals to plan our day, folders, labels, and sections to organize your tasks. On top of that, we offer a full calendar experience optimized for time blocking with features like "meet with", share availability, multiple time zones and customizable views
Excuse me kind stranger. But you appear to be writing your English wrong.
I think the difference between humans and special-purpose ML models here is that humans can generalize from examples in different domains. (There are ML models that also try to do this - train across domains to be more robust against out-of-sample inputs - but my understanding is it's not yet common.)
You could require orderable sequence numbers before or after each line. It would be easiest as yet another VT escape sequence, but if you are pie-in-sky adding more standard "files" anyway maybe you wish for lines to be newline-delimited JSON CRDTs while you are at it.
This argument is missing a very important piece of information. Blue check marks no longer just mean an accounts identity is verified. They mean verified account and endorsed by twitter. See this thread by Twitter support, they talk about it and link to the rules:

It is 100% possible to make glucose synthetically, racemically or otherwise. I believe it was done in the 60s and iirc sharpless used sugar synthesis to demonstrate the power of asymmetric epoxidation (which he won the Nobel for).

It is however very not economical to do so
I have tried XMPP. It's not much better, but has different problems.
With all the excitement around Stable Diffusion, it’s nice to have an easy API to plug into for product development.

The API supports three endpoints (generation, edits, and variation), but doesn’t support fine-tunes - which are capturing peoples attention now with deepfake avatars.

Im curious to see what people build with this.
>why would you use windows nowadays?

One thing people have not mentioned is Enterprise.

Just because its all webapps does not mean everyone can move to a Chromebook.

The ecosystem of HP/DELL/Lenovo Thinkpad hardware + Windows 10/11 OS + management over Azure AD or on-prem AD that hooks into Office 365 and most other apps. Plus all ERP and HR software that run on Windows Servers.

Yes the USERS are mostly on the Office 365 suite and webapps for things. But their PCs have to be managed and apps have to be served.
There's also just as many reasons to not give Signal root on my PC by installing their .deb package.
Doing chores, playing music, playing video games, laying about, walking. I also tend to browse random Haddocks and source code on my phone the same way I browse other websites.

It's mostly a subconscious thing. I can't tell you how many times I've had a Haskell problem to solve (highly-abstract and systems programming alike) and I take a couple days off the keyboard and come back and write code that'll last years.

Of course, there's still a time and place to do the whole tight feedback coding loop thing. But it isn't how most of my Haskell comes to be.
How do you do that when Stripe holds your subscription / recurring revenue? Keep that recurring revenue base independent of the CC processor? I used to use Recurly and stuff like that but it seemed like I was paying double just for the benefit of maintaining my own recurring charge list, not to mention not integrated with many of the payment features.
Because no one has developed a moderation framework based on behavior. Content is (somewhat) easy, a simple regex can capture that. Behavior is far more complicated and even more subject to our biases.

Aside from the weird elite baiting rhetoric, does this mean that blue checkmark no longer means "yes, this is that famous person/thing you've heard of, not an impersonator" but now just means "this person gave us 8 dollars?"
Oh God... I am not going to repeat myself. To put it briefly: Snap Store is Canonical's Play Store.
Layoffs can be random, but promotions rarely are. It’s not necessarily a bad play.
That's not what people "mean" or "care about". The inflation doomers want to pretend that zero-interest rate policies extended too long in the 2010s decade.

After the 3rd round of QE in 2014, the Fed began to undo that policy by raising interest rates above 0% in the 2015 to 2016 timeframe. They also were unwinding their balance sheet into 2019, before COVID19 interrupted plans.
I've been on YouTube for as long as YouTube has existed, but mostly use it to watch music videos, movie trailers, the video versions of podcasts I listen to, and sometimes a tutorial for DIY stuff I'm trying to do around the house. The only place I have ever even seen the name "Mr. Beast" is on Hacker News, and since I have never read those threads, I have no idea who he is or what he makes videos about.
they are also a lot in debt. Almost everyone of them borrowed with corporate bonds in the last 6 months on a very low interest rates.
This is a red herring, I assert. There is no "boiling the problem down to a simple grammar" that has promise for a total solution. There are plenty of ways to combine the different parts that work well, and even more ways to combine them into nonsense. Disallowing the nonsense is probably not going to make the ways that work well any better.
I have mixed feelings about this. The issue is that there aren't enough elite seats, maybe applying to those schools is a good idea because it starts to create more elite seats. I seriously doubt there would be a serious detriment to your son's education for going to Harvey Mudd for example. I think that the subtext here is the brand name of Stanford and MIT and the Ivies is very desirable and this is less about education.

The brand is real though. Those top tier schools are gateways to power and money. I read through the law suit made against Harvard and other schools and it blames white people, not affirmative action in general. It compares the test scores of white people against Asians and argues that there should be fewer white people. The % of Harvard that is white is 33%. The % of the US is 57.5%. Whites are being shut out of the premier gateways to power in the US. I think AA based on race makes sense in some way because of what these schools mean in reality. It's not just about education.

The test score gap between Asians and whites is not even very broad. So on the one hand, I think all this focus on race is detrimental to life if we use it to judge the most elite people in the country. On the other hand, I think this lawsuit is just more squabbling between races to be the #1. This is a fight about prestige and power and not education, at least in my opinion.
As one of the earliest stripe customers, yes, that was the reason why we switched to them from Authorize.net.

Developer docs and easy API integration was, and is still, their "stickyness". But the eco-system of new products they've added have grown that moat to make it easy and cost-efficient to offload more and more of the financial and subscription stack onto Stripe. It's a virtuous cycle
Like the court system being adversarial, it’s that way because it’s the only thing that scales, for a number of reasons. The longer a company can avoid it/bigger they can be without it, the better everything is. At some point however, it’s inevitable.

To answer your second question, because the ones who leave are often the ones with the most options and lowest risk to themselves if they are unemployed, which highly correlates with those who are the ‘best’ (in most hiring managers minds).

So it’s pretty common for all the ‘high performers’ to bail (happens anyway, but to a lesser extent on it’s own the moment ‘growth’ isn’t the first thing on peoples minds), and the folks left behind to be those that don’t feel comfortable finding another position.

Either because they have a mortgage hanging over their heads, or don’t feel confident in their skills, or are preoccupied with other responsibilities (kids, older parents, etc) and have less free time/are less interested in doing extra hours, or just hate interviewing, etc.

It’s basically the equivalent of a hot/pretty boyfriend or girlfriend. They are able to find other options easier, so tend to be the first to bounce if they stop getting what they want.

If you’re a manager, that’s obviously not great. Especially if you’re shallow.
They do, but it would be novel if for once, they choose decency instead of profit.
BlackRock Lets Its Clients Vote
Totally ridiculous and also untrue. Living in Manhattan is a luxury, there are affordable options 20-30m from NYC. You can get a 2br for under $<2k <30m bus ride from NYC. $1600-1700 if you look and get a little lucky.

Even in Manhattan, there are plenty of 2br available for <$3k. Zillow is bringing up hundreds of results. You're not living large, but you'll have money for savings.

Most people who live in Manhattan don't live there alone, anyway. That luxury apt for $6k is a great place to live with 1-2 roommates.
Most interesting, is they seem to not care about the recent NYC law (see: https://stripe.com/jobs/listing/backend-engineer-enterprise-...), so yeah - they haven't updated this part of their business or paid much attention to it in a while.

Likely, everyone has been busy with the layoffs.
People may read causality into your comment that you didn't imply. That the number of unemployed persons per job opening is so low is a very strong "boom" signal. Busts inevitably follow booms, but booms don't cause busts. Something else is the trigger. Subprime mortgage crisis in 2007, the rate tightening caused by inflation in 2022, etc.

I argue that the US fed rate is going to have to get a lot higher than 4% to cause this boom to bust in the US. That's an exercise in fed tea leaf reading. The last fed guidance was a lot more ambiguous than previous tightenings this year.
I know this isn't new or unique to Stripe, but the language used in these announcements to distance leadership from their choices is always so slimy. "We're not 'firing' or 'terminating' anyone; some people are just 'impacted' by our announcement that we have to 'say goodbye'." It makes repeated mentions of those who are "leaving" (the subject is the former employee) and avoids active verbs where the founders are the subjects. Not "we're terminating", "we're laying off", etc. Even the first statement taking responsibility covers the "decisions leading up to [this step]", rather than the step/mass layoff itself.
And then they reversed in 2019 when the stock market started slowing down and Trump freaked out and pressured them to keep the unsustainable growth going, leaving us collectively in a weaker position to respond to the covid crisis.
so like q1/q2 2019? wouldn't be surprised I guess.
How would you define adult humor? Surely we have some latitude to be a little off color without being straight up racist, (blank)phobic, and vile? We aren’t kids, we have somewhat of a sophisticated ability to be at another level of sarcasm, humor and dark humor.
I think most of us graybeards here might agree that a focus on STEM, and programming particularly, is not in any way shape or form a better education. The treatment of the humanities as "lesser" has been catastrophic, in my opinion.

What I’ve Been Up to Lately – Andreessen Horowitz
I'm well aware of Signal's history with non-official distribution and alternative clients. How they distribute their official binaries is still up to them, though. They clearly don't care enough about AppImages (and other means of distribution) to put any effort into them.

The "somebody else is willing to buy that share" is not exactly satisfying because it turns into a Greater Fool theory sort of thing.

The liquidation angle also doesn't really work because large companies generally don't liquidate themselves, and either way, it would be for way less than the value of their material assets.

The way I make sense of it for regular stocks is because big (e.g. Adobe) can come and buy someone smaller (e.g. Figma) which will distribute cash to me. This works because there is an end to the game of hot potato where the holder wins.

This however, doesn't work for Meta. If you want to acquire Meta, the *only* shares that matter are Zuck's supervoting shares. If you buy all of them except Zuck's, you don't really have anything. If you only buy Zuck's, you have everything.

So why should I be paying to buy anything except Zuck's shares? Nobody ultimately wants them, except to sell them to someone else.
Agree, I don't know if it's that useful for `Result<T>`, but for `Option<T>`, there has been a couple of times I've written

if foo.is_none() {
return;
}
let foo = foo.unwrap()

Now I can do simply

let Some(foo_unwrapped) = foo else {
return;
}

which is prettier than the `if let (...)` to just unwrap it IMO.

Some possible reasons:

You may not get the number of volunteers you need, so you still have to do layoffs. Except now, more people have been stressing about it for a longer period of time.

The "low performers" who will have a hard time finding a new job elsewhere are unlikely to voluntarily leave. So you offer a buyout package to derisk the decision for them. But then the "high performers" who you'd rather retain might decide that yeah, it's easy to get a new job, so they'll take a sack of cash and go do something new.
I suspect HN succeeds due to heavy moderation, explicit community guidelines and a narrow topic set.
Have you considered hiring outside of the US?
> to build top-notch educational content

I'm confused as to whether you are looking to hire Instructional Designers (who probably have a masters degree in educational/instructional psychology) to design/build educational content, or if you are looking for programmers to build the learning management system (LMS) to host the content the Instructional Designers are building. Or... maybe you are looking for programmers to be subject matter experts for the Instructional Designers?

I sure hope you are not trying to get programmers to design and build top-notch educational content. That's like asking a programmer to also do the work of a graphic designer. They are two entirely different skill sets.
Gucci Owner Kering in Advanced Talks to Acquire Tom Ford
I agree that there are similarities, but many of the web businesses these days are legit with happy customers. The challenge seems to be more widespread across the economy and there are a few not-so-black-swan-anymore looking things on the horizon (e.g., a Sino war) that could dramatically change the picture for the whole industry.

My take away is that we may have a mild recession, but the likelihood of a massive recession is a lot higher than it has been in decades.
Not OP but first off I'd say that while some things feel similar, I don't think we're close to how bad it was back then if you look at the magnitude of the fall out. So take these answers understanding that things were worse back then.

1. It felt like a nuclear winter for tech jobs between 2000/2001 and 2004/2005. Jobs were available but it was way more competitive to get them and you were a lot less likely to get that dream job. You either settled for a crappier job or you changed directions. Many younger people just went back to school (get the master, law degree, etc.) as an alternative.

It felt like the party was over. All the great company perks disappeared. Traffic on freeways disappeared. The mood was very flat. It wasn't sexy being in tech like it is today. Nowadays people just talk about TC or stock. That kind of talk disappears.

2. Like I mentioned above, it was about a 3-5 year period. Again, not all situations are the same. But whenever you have large macroeconomic problems, they take time to sort out. It also depends on how quickly the downside factors resolve themselves. The longer it takes to solve those, the longer a recovery is dragged out.

It also depends on what the growth engine is for pulling things back up. Back then, there was a resurgence in internet business starting around 2005 when "web 2.0" got popular and many new businesses came on the scene. This includes social networking, ecommerce, web publishing.
It’s true, they should distribute a .deb that ensures the repo and key are installed so it gets updates. However, your suggestion that they should just capitulate and allow 3rd parties to violate trademark seems like a pretty bad take.
