Just yesterday I witnessed a pretty gruesome scooter accident right in front of me on the sidewalk in Berlin. The young woman was just riding down the sidewalk bike lane, nothing at all out of the ordinary, and the scooter just slipped right out from under her on some slippery wet leaves. She went headlong into a tree and was left with a bloody nose on the ground. Her friends stayed with her until the ambulance came.

I was happy I did not relive it in my dreams last night.
That's a rather energy blind view of the world. Europe isn't an optimal location for solar or wind.
Only in passing. It makes no difference in the end
No no no! You and the parent comment are ansolutley twisting what I am saying and turning it into a personal attack.

I can't believe this, are you saying naked people don't sexually please other people? That's basically all I said.

Internal shame my ass. How about I use the samw logic and claim you have an internal perversion and desire to abuse others against their will, would that be fair? It works by your messed up logic but I know it is an unfair thing to say so I would never say that.

Facts are facts, let's stick to those. Maybe there are a small minority that feel no sexual desire when they see a naked adult person but since majority are not wired that way (even if they were a minority actually) you have to ask permission first. That's it, ask permission.

And people like you love to blame your upbringing or religion so you can make it about that. Stick to facts. You can pick a random atheist from scandanavia, a chinese buddhist, a muslim from pakistan and an african with a local religion (men that is) and show them a naked porn star and most if not all will be sexually aroused. This is hormones.
oh, missed that. thanks
The software that DB used to model most of the financial assets that went south and caused the recession of 2008.

Back in the days I was not fully aware of what we were building (we were a team of 3 engineers working for a "reputable" London based bank), but there were subtle cues in the requirements like the options given by the software to base the SPEs (the company that issues the repackaged bonds) in places like Bermuda, Cayman Islands, etc.

In hindsight, watching "The Big Short" for the first time was a big come to Jesus moment to me.
It's beneficial for everyone to move to renewables, and the Nord Stream has certainly lfast-tracked that, but it still puts EU under energy pressures that really didn't need to be.
After 70 years you can, yes (in copyright's original form). It's why I can do a performance of Mozart or Shakespeare today.

Before that, you'd need her permission, and probably share some royalties with her.
<<But here’s the thing: the law should apply equally. If the FTC did go after a couple of these ‘ frivolous ‘ monopolies, it would set the tone across the board. This is an area where everyone can meet in the middle..

This is what I think is really missing from the arguments. Antitrust enforcement and even basic law enforcement has been mostly AWOL whenever bigger players are involved. It really undermines average Joe's trust in the system as a whole. I don't really care about Swift and Ticketmaster. I am concerned that the system is seemingly falling apart ( or working as intended depending on how cynical one is ).
The more general problem is, what do we do with powered vehicles that have too much speed, and thus kinetic energy, to share space with pedestrians, but not enough protection to share space with automobiles?

Bike lanes help. In congested areas, we may end up with slow scooter/slow bicycle/low speed e-bike lanes with low speed limits. Anything faster needs a motorcycle license, turn signals, mirrors, and more rider protection.
If I had to pick a society as an example of a place where the subways and buses get vandalized, I'm choosing Italy. American buses and trains are virtually spotless compared to theirs.
Because the pool of male engineers is ~4-8x larger than female candidates, so hiring 50% women is intentionally hiring worse employees because of their genitals.
20 years ago I got interested in "bioinformatics." I loved learning something about molecular biology, after all those years of hearing about DNA and not understanding it. And "Molecular Biology of the Cell" is, hands down, the greatest textbook ever written.

That said: a lot of the comments are spot on. You're working in a field where the hard scientists and business people rule and you're a helper. Maybe they're grateful for your help OR maybe they regard you as an overpaid lab assistant. After all, they have PhD's and postdocs, and you don't.

I've never actually worked in that field. I'd guess that it might be very satisfying, despite the low pay. Or not.

Free speech is an ideal, not just an amendment.
I'd say that's universal across many countries. The flip side is that Dutch insurers do allow their patients to shop around for care. E.g. getting treated in Belgium or Germany for routine procedures is fairly common. Mostly these just are shortages of staff, equipment, etc. and being efficient sometimes also means that available care is fully utilized. Which just means people have to wait for non critical things sometimes.
> I've noticed a worrying pattern of engineers strongly rejecting the idea of maintaining inherited applications, because it's "old", "ugly", "unmaintanable". They want to rewrite, "clean", "best practices", "easier to maintain".

I've been doing this for 22 years and it's always been this way :/
US area codes are a fixed three digits and initially had a rule that states which fit in a single area code would be X0Y, and those with multiple would be X1Y.

When the area codes were made, AT&T already had usage data from operator connected long distance calling, so they chose the numbers to minimize dialing time.

Within area codes, the first three digits indicate the telephone exchange, those used to be named based on the first two digits ex 555 KLondike-5 or 736 PEnnsylvania 6 [1]; these exchange names historically tended to have geographic meaning on a local level, but that wasn't always practical and when customer dialing happened, exchange names mostly disappeared, only to be heard from in older media.

[1] you might know of this one from the Glenn Miller song, PEnnsylvania 6-5000, which was the number of a the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York; it's exchange was named for PEnn station, the area the exchange serves
No? There was so much talk pre Feb. 25 of steadily moving away from Russian imports, especially of natural gas.

Obviously every euro that's moved away represents a loss of mutual interest with Russia.

If the EU guaranteed they would send X billions every month forever, on the condition of no military invasion, then I highly doubt the Kremlin would have been as aggressive.
Yes, it's an important donation - for stifling competition. There is more than one way to monopolize the market.
You're comparing the cheap end of scooters to the expensive end of smartphones. The cheapest smartphones cost about 10x than the cheapest scooters. Tens of dollars (if not free) vs a few hundred dollars.
Yeah, same logic applies.
You should calculate deaths per weight*miles moved. If ten people are riding scooters and 300 million people are driving cars, you'd expect cars to have more deaths.

I can have a big positive impact and make the startups I tend to work for better places AND get paid well and be respected. It seems the "potential" here is a result of a lack of care and maintenance for legacy codebases, and not, say, driving innovation.
?? hyperloop is right-wing? I think you are confirming his point.
It's hard to have diversity when you've got three employees left and some South African douchebag shouting at them to write code in between making coffee and fixing the air ducts.
I have a very valid question: if this method was used to sell tulips in XVII, how it can be patented in 2020?
Every situation is unique and real-life is flexible - elements of his "style" can probably work.

What's questionable is the objectively bad lead up to the current situation. It's one thing to overhaul a company - it's another to massively over pay for a company, be under immense pressure from added debt, and then fire a whole bunch of people in a very short amount of time.

There's no question here that he would've been better off starting his own company, building up experience while burning a few hundred million, and then buying out twitter at 20bn. He was on the board, he knew what the company was like, he had direct connections with important figures like Dorsey, he had all the information necessary to know that he wanted to make such sweeping changes.
There should really be three "layers" of time indirection.

1) Seconds since 00:00:00UTC 1.1.1970. This value increases by 1 each atomic second and never goes forward/back. Call this Universal Monotonic Time.

2) The difference between when the sun is at its zenith at Greenwich and 12:00 UMT. Call this the Astronomic Drift.

3) The timezone - offset from Greenwich that makes the local clock sync up with astronomic time and also contains a DST offset if that location observes DST at that date.

By adding up 1) + 2) + 3) you end up with the "human time" at a given location at a given date.

A computer system should only ever store 1). Then, it can calculate human time when displaying it to humans.

I'm also a fan of having "local sun time" which would be the time according to the position of the sun in the sky, quantised to 15-minute slices (basically micro-timezones). It would be nice if office hours, school times, &c can be defined based on that, i.e. work starts at 9am local sun time, which will sync up better with people's biological clock and cut down on the yearly stress DST causes.
I guess this answers why you can't just try it with liquid helium: even that isn't ideal enough.
T3 – Build full-stack, typesafe Next.js app
Electron apps (and other apps that uses Chromium Embedded Framework) are commonplace these days and they requires GPU acceleration. They'll crash if launched on system without gpu acceleration. Sure you can pass a command line argument to disable gpu acceleration to those apps (e.g. `--disable-gpu` on most electron apps and `--no-zygote` on apps that use chrome embedded framework like spotify), but you can't expect average users to know how to do that.
Earl Nightingale The Secret is pretty good.

Make fun of it if you want, but as long as your realistic it's a great guide to thinking.

We become what we think about. This doesn't mean imagine you're a trillion are and Tuesday someone picks you up in a jet.

It's more like imagine you'll get that job, study for it, and maybe you'll get it. If not try again.

Even if you keep failing that's much more productive than whining all day.

To put it in HN terms, you can't open VS Code and expect software to write itself. I'm a self taught developer so I fully get it. Everything I know I taught myself ( the Unity forums helped a LOT in my early days, more than Stack Overflow).

That said, take the original work. Not the spin off that tells you The Secret can turn a homeless man into a millionaire. A homeless man getting his own place is pretty decent.
Because it is not representative of the underlying demographics. There are vastly more men trained to work in the field (one representative datapoint: there's an 80/20 gender difference in computer science degrees).

If you are hiring equal numbers of women and men from a talent pool which is 80% male then you are almost certainly illegally discriminating on the basis of a protected class.
Yeah, this is something that the anti-scooter people in my town (Berkeley) do not seem to grasp. The public scooter companies are getting murdered by cheap scooters. Overwhelming majority of scooters on the streets are dirt-cheap Gotrax models. They are so cheap they are cutting into the mode share of bicycling.
My first web app was a del.icio.us clone, it helped me get started as a web dev. I still write clones of it when testing new web tech. Many thanks!
It has always synced changes when detected actually. It does an automatic sync after a note is changed
How is "Ronna" pronounced... "Row Nah" or "Ron Ah"? I assume it's like "donna", but if I don't ask I'm going to say it wrong for sure.
Ah, appeasement. I've heard Europe has had great experience with that.
Perhaps you and the GP could compare notes about where they searched and where you advertise.
The seizure is supposedly about the assets of FTX Digital Markets, which is incorporated in the Bahamas, so no foreign actor here from the Bahamian government's POV. Of course which one of that maze of shell companies is actually owning the assets on probably a question will have to be decided by the courts.

This is true. Also true that because something isn’t of universal applicability that doesn’t mean it isn’t of merit for a specific group. I don’t think the Atlantic pretends it’s readership isn’t overwhelming upper middle
class+ highly educated center-left Americans. There is a balance isn’t there between acknowledging differences exist and only writing things of universal relevance which is mostly to say nothing at all.
To me, the "at least" qualifier makes it look pretty bad. So if they reached 75% it wouldn't be a diversity issue?
Isn't the interview process the same for each role regardless? How does the size of the pool matter?
Also, they're saying: "At least half of our Tweepforce will be women". So they're suggesting that more than 50% of one gender is ok, as long as they're women.
Pressure doesn't really prevent your people from being shot, your land being taken and your cities destroyed.

It's great in the early stages to dissuade that sort of thing, but ultimately you need weaponry and manpower to counter military threats.

If you are being punched, you are done arguing with the bully. Hit them back.
> Bonus: almost half of Meta employees are from Asia.

That seems low for a global company as around 60% of the global population is in Asia.

kind of the same direction here in Oslo -- they reeled in how many scooters any given operator was allowed to have in distribution and started applying real road rules to the scooters.

Being caught drunk driving an app-based e-scooter is as serious as any motor vehicle violation and will result in your car license being revoked.
I think IntelliJ is great, but there is no doubt that it's a massive resource hog. I work on a legacy project that is probably doing many things wrong, and IntelliJ is sometimes using so much memory on it that the OOM killer just kills my IDE.
So is what you're saying is your concept of freedom of speech is the correct version?

You've also not backed up anything as to support your "much more likely" claim.

Are people not allowed to be upset if a brand starts introducing content they don't want their children to be exposed to, whether you agree with that or not? They had a certain expectation or assumption, based on history, of a certain governance - and then that relatively quickly changed. I'm not saying it's rational, but they're trying to warn their herd of like-minded people - whether it is cultural or religious groups - that don't believe it is either healthy or safe to expose highly impressionable, easily manipulated minds, at such a young age - say before they develop critical thinking and enough of an identity on their own without undue external influence.

Do you support influencing, manipulation, of children and young teenagers towards permanently physically altering their body - like cutting off their breasts?

Elon so far only ban people who: 1) impersonated him without stating they are a parody account (Kathy Griffin was reinstated along with Jordan Peterson and The Babylon Bee yesterday), or 2) who broke company policy - arguably by publicly stating their qualm of him rather than directly going to him to try to settle it privately.

Perhaps your argument or stance is that he, as the lead, should continue to employ those who don't fall enough in-line, aligned enough with his order - his orders of how and where to steer the private ship called Twitter? That sounds like a very poorly operating ship that certainly would sink to a ship who's crew listen to a competent captain that they trust enough to work for; this isn't a situation where the employees at Twitter are employed there because of no other options - so can't argue for exploitation or abuse - undue stress.

Perhaps your level of distaste for Elon, perhaps it's envy, is that you're misinterpreting the situation as him dictating what's allowed on the neutral platform called the internet?

Thankfully, thank God, at least for now - and with much higher odds now that Elon owns Twitter, along with his Starlink constellation - the U.S. is a place that people can still communicate - even though there is a trend toward government with fascist policies to control information and the narrative. Thankfully anyone who disagrees with Elon - with the relatively free market capitalism in North America - can start their own competing platform to Twitter - assuming they are competent and sophisticated enough to have or garner the resources, including people necessary to rally, to support such an effort.
In fact that is the core distinction in my opinion
I just released an updated guide on how to run a free VPN server on AWS. Please let me know what you think!
Why would Twitter have a payroll department? I doubt the headline but good riddance if so. Everyone, but everyone, outsources payroll.

The job has also become much easier with equity being converted to cash.
I love imagining this scene.

Alice: I'm telling you, there is gas everywhere! This place is about to blow!

Bob: I have been up and down the block three times, and the sniffer is not picking up a thing.
Europe is large and lots of places are using both wind and solar the issue is storage and have something that does not causes peaks and lows on the net

Okay, that's good. Hopefully they will continue. Goal is to not have single-browser monopoly, so everyone develop according to the standards not optimize against single engine.

What's the point in arguing who is better balance keeper?
Religion comes to mind as well. It's not a new development, many simply follow what they're told by authorities or thought leaders.
I love Cloudflare and really want to use this but I need the ability to route to multiple (2-3) destinations. :)
> when last I checked, NATO never annexed anywhere. In fact they go out of their way to AVOID conflicts.

Even though Russia is clearly worse on this front, you can't really say this about NATO either. While technically they haven't annexed anywhere, NATO itself did invade the sovereign territory of a country, in Kosovo (for very good reasons - to stop a genocide), and NATO countries have collaborated on invading Afghanistan and Iraq (even though this was not officially done through NATO itself, the difference seems more technical than real).

So, without excusing Russia's behavior in any way (to be clear, they are currently engaging in a monstrous war of conquest in Ukraine, and are guilty of many war crimes, including the war crime of Aggression, which got the leaders of Nazi Germany hanged at Nurenberg), I don't think we should pretend their concerns about NATO are entirely absurd.
I think VSCode really ensured long time persistance for themselves when they refactored into a client-server model. Is there even a usecase for Theia now that Vscode Server is OSS and exists.
You use the username MicrosoftAccount\email@address.com and the user password.
Apache Mesos, though not a ground up OS, it does have the aim of sharing resources across clusters.
No, this is bad. Because the whole point of a diversity program is to reduce hiring based on race[0].

If a business is, say, 100% white men, it's extremely unlikely for this to have happened purely by chance. Like, "all the fast molecules in a can of air moving to one side" levels of impossible. If you want to argue that the problem is education or qualifications instead of overt refusal to hire minorities, that's one thing[1], but that's not an argument against measuring the company's diversity at all. That's an argument against affirmative action policies.

As far as I'm concerned, deleting this page is the equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ear and shouting "LALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU" at the problem.

[0] Or sex, gender, class, caste, sexual orientation, etc...

[1] Though I will disagree vehemently with the idea that it's purely an education problem. The minorities are here, they just don't stick around because big tech treats them like garbage.
It says half of the workforce, not half of engineers
I’d suggest going the python route. I migrated a lot of my shell scripts to python, and then went on to building a simple front end with flask, and ended up using Django. Felt like natural progression to me.
"The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has confirmed that it is investigating whether Live Nation has been violating a consent decree that it has been required to follow since merging with Ticketmaster nearly a decade ago.
The consent degree forbids Live Nation from keeping concerts and tours from venues that do not use Ticketmaster for ticket services. It also prevents the company from retaliating against venues that engage one of Ticketmaster’s competitors."

...

"Live Nation indicated that those who were demanding an investigation misunderstood the consent degree as well as 'general ticketing industry dynamics.' On September 18th, Michael Rapino, who runs Live Nation, further addressed the issue at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia conference, which took place in New York.

Rapino insisted that, while the consent decree prevents Live Nation from threatening to block shows at venues that use a different ticketing platform than Ticketmaster, it does not prevent the company from making decisions that make economic sense.

He further said that, if a venue wants to use a ticketing platform other than Ticketmaster, the venue may not make economic sense to his company."
