What actually happened is that, many months ago, Google announced it would start marking a larger portion of people per performance cycle as low performers. That’s it.

Only recently a bunch of news outlets are trying to spin it as a layoff and running away with their own narrative. It’s quite literally fake news

What is happening is that a lot of people want to hate Google so there’s a lot of demand for “Google bad” articles like this and all the inaccurate ones about RTO, truth be damned
> you don’t have to race to find a sucker to liquidate your position

Whose the sucker when they tell you that limitless, growing, roll-over debt is a actually a feature of the system? Who pays the price when a government hands over billions of dollars to bailout the financial/auto/x industry?

> assets linked to governments or value generating corporations will have value for the foreseeable future

"foreseeable future" means whats exactly? UK pension funds were about to collapse until they were bailed out by the government. How foreseeable are events like these, wiping out people who have otherwise done nothing wrong?

When we say "decentralized," we don't mean that your data is deliberately scattered around the network; we mean that the underlying infrastructure providers are fungible.

In other words, you own your data because you can change infrastructure providers as it suits you, and other users who interact with you on the network generally won't notice or otherwise care that you did that.
Haha, I just posted the same comment. It's always entertaining to see one doing a snatch and grab from a public bbq, and then watch them leg it with a whole sausage in their beak...
A Dad Took Photos of His Kid for the Doctor. Google Flagged Him as a Criminal
And then it silently creates a user named True because the non-empty email address you passed as `create_if_not_exists` evaluated as truthy.
>Almost all of SBF's donations were during the primary, and he made almost no donations during the general election. This means his money might have helped influence who showed up on the November ballots he didn't spend anything to help one party win over the other.

That's not how it works. There is no rule that says that donations made during the primary season cannot be spent by the campaign after the primary.
Probably you have, lots of websites still using Drupal, heavily customised of course. Search for "websites made with Drupal" and have your jaw dropped, as probably a website or two you visited recently will show up :)
Question: Why don't aussies have lids on their BBQs?

No those are the old missiles, easy detectable starts and "lot's" of time for countermeasures.

Yeah this shows how little your credibility is. Idiotic meme that was never true
Housing doesn't have inelastic demand though. If the city gets cheaper (+capacity) more people can live in it. As well, if it gets too expensive people are priced out and leave. Ask any state about the Californians moving there.

We are already at the lower bound. We have already lost human dignity. You either need to afford 1k per month or be homeless. This homelessness is to spare them the indignity of living in a 350 sqft efficiency?

Build more housing. Remove parking minimums. Remove minimum unit sizes. End density restrictions. 8 units on every lot.
Yeah. WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Laravel, vanilla php. Together they power almost 45-50% of the web. So PHP is still extremely relevant. The most relevant you might be able to say.
not at all a silly question...

it runs forever and _fast_, the ergonomics are kick ass for my body dimensions (i mean, it's comfortable), and it's _silent_.
> I wonder how many Billions or Trillions environmental protection costs companies.

> Pretty much every company has to fight with it. Hire lawyers, change machines, implement "dangerous waste disposal" etc.

> The craziest part is that environmental protection has a competitive disadvantage for companies built in: Companies have to demonstrate their pollution prevention even for users outside of the EU. While non-European companies only have to do so for users in the EU.

Analogy aside, no company has to show any banners, you just have to respect your users rights to privacy. All companies may use as many cookies as they want as long as they're strictly necessary for the sites operation.
Why, are you implying American companies will only operate in Europe if they can break the law??? They sent an email, she didn't respond and they stated that because she didn't respond she automatically made herself redundant....In Ireland you cannot default to "you mad yourself redundant because you didn't reply", there was no agreement to change her terms and conditions (redundancy in Ireland is a legal agreement, if its not voluntary than they could not fill the same role, even with a different title, with someone else for several years).
Ah yes, the famous modern Japanese restrained design because they have longer attention span than ours. They wouldn't need flashy neon colours to keep engaged. That's some confirmation bias.

“So what’s the deal with climate change? How are we going to solve this?”

Hey! I’m a former tech employee building a product to help consumers shop climate-conscious. I often get this q from my friends / family, so I wrote a short blog post where I recap global goals, the broad plan, how we’re tracking, and how we can contribute to the solution.

would love to hear ya’ll’s thoughts + questions!
(not working in security) Say they do infect this recording server that is not connected to the Internet. So what then, how do they send this data elsewhere? It's just infected and sitting there?
There's a difference between "I don't want to do this job", and "I don't want to do this job, but it needs to be done, and apparently everyone else thinks I'm the best fit for it. As much as I now hate you all, I'll do it, and may God have mercy on your souls."

I've been told several times that I become scarily competent at anything I hate, far in excess of those things that make me happy or bring me joy.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, don't discount disgust or aversion to something or it's lack as a disqualification to manage that thing. Quite to the contrary, they may be just the person aware enough of the thing in question to reliably manage it. I'll take a candidate who can explain at length why they hate that job over the most eager "this'll be great" candidate ever.

I'll just be realistic about my assessment of their tenure, and the compensation offered, and try really hard to figure out what they actually want before pulling the trigger on the hire.
This comment transported me back to 2010 or thereabouts when this happened to Facebook. I remember being surprised at the simplicity of the code and making a lot of jokes about "build a facebook clone" ads on freelance websites.
Cue a HN post “wtf google, my archive website is getting marked as spam.”
Well no, it's was kind of a real question..but also with "the elon's of the world"
Yes, but based on the Kubrick quote in that section of the Wikipedia article, von Braun was the main one; and von Braun is the obvious one for the "mein Fuhrer", etc., of Strangelove to be a spoof of.
> Companies entering Japan don't treat it with respect as a big market, but just as a "let's slap a bad translation on top and expect numbers as strong as in the USA", which is an issue I've seen first hand multiple times as well. For very similar cultures this might work, but for vastly different ones like USA vs Japan you'll need to do i18n besides just translation.

While I can’t speak for software going into Japan, I can absolutely believe it having seen this exact thing in reverse for a game coming out of Japan. You could give yourself a banner with a customisable name, but there was only room for one character on that banner. Great if your language has “狐”, not so much if 20% of your users pick “E” and another 10% pick “T”.

Even with much smaller cultural divides, I’ve faced “Knopf” being incorrect placed on a German naughty words filter because someone literally translated “knob” without asking a native speaker. (And you might be surprised how often IRL Germans ask me, in English, if I drove the train to work, though I do also appreciate that in reverse I probably sound like Crabtree: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilhJvFngWcY)

Naive question, but: since they do have crude oil, could they swap that for refined oil products?
>On military spending all EU countries spend at least half of the target 2% of GDP from Nato, only Luxembourg is below that.

I think this wins the Copium Award for the month.
The Rakuten screenshot included in the first set of examples looks a bit out of place to me. It's a pretty normal, modern, flat-design shopping website? Amazon similarly features a big colorful carousel and a bunch of different images all competing for attention. (Well, if you visit Amazon today you'll get a more consistent-looking Black Friday takeover.)

The only thing that really stands out to me about Rakuten is that the Japanese UI strings are bit longer and more visually dense than the English ones. But that's a far cry from Yahoo Japan's early 2000s aesthetic.
You twist what was said and then you say it is not defensible. Not cool.

There are two ways one can understand what you said and both are terrible takes.

You might imagine that everyone is somehow secretly racist/nationalistic/egoistic and somehow when they say we need fewer people they secretly mean that fewer of other “kind of” people. This is not true. When I say we need fewer people I include “my people” in that too, for whatever arbitrary grouping you would deem “my” people.

The other possible take is that you think everyone who thinks there should be fever people should commit suicide, or if they don’t they clearly mean “fewer other people”. This is also silly. In this context nobody proposes that we should get fewer people by killing anyone. People die. If you just stop making so many of them we will end up with less of them.
40% of Google's traffic comes via IPv6. Up from 1% a decade ago. https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html

If you think you can do better than that, I look forward to hearing your plan. Personally, I think that's huge progress.
How do I make recurrent payments in Shinsei? There's no option from what I've searched. For transfers yes a transfer from Spain to the USA or UK is a bit harder than intra-EU, but it's trivial compared to Japan where you need to apply to some gvmt card to even qualify to apply to the int transfer service, which of course I got denied 4 times because of my name.

Your whole comment seems trying to find the worst interpretation of what I said on purpose... I mean Uber taxi of course. I said some modern UIs were adopted, but still IMHO not enough to clearly show it was a huge pain point as we think (saying people "jumped" to the iPhone in Japan because of the UI also doesn't make sense, considering how long it took to be adopted and how high Android was for a very long time). Etc.

I don't want your archive website near the top of my search results when the original is readily accessible.
You're indeed 100% right. I think a lot of HN programmer bros miss this point ... that being forced to settle in dollars is not a formality ... it's the whole point!
Wouldn't it be better when all those big CDNs just switch off IPv4 and force the sleeping ISPs to enable IPv6? Maybe we should introduce some IPv6 only days as a first step...
It's a good sign there might be an exploitable file upload vulnerability, if you can find an endpoint that uploads files to a directory that's served by Apache with the same configurarion as the directory of the executable settings.php
It is, but after a certain point the face fabric becomes saturated with water and breathability drops to ~zero. At that point your body’s own moisture can no longer escape through the jacket and you become wet from the inside.
It's waterproof if you maintain it. There's special detergent and whatnot.

We use Gore-TEX jackets in the Marines, and in the field you can tell who washed their gear correctly and who didn't.
It’s ubiquitous in the mountain sports community. There are some alternatives these days, but gore is still the most popular by far.
There's a very practical use of trigger warnings that's existed uncontroversially for decades and it's the use of story tags for internet erotica, dating back to the usenet days.

Story tags there serve two important purposes: so you can find what you want to read, and not read that which you definitely do not.
It kinda sounds like you think that Google doesn't have the resources to have a human decide that stackoverflow isn't itself a spam clone.

This is a huge problem for a very small number of sites and a non-existent problem for everything else. The list of authoritative, egregiously-copied sources could easily be maintained by one person. The only difficulty comes from determining when to trigger the system.
Now that you mention shoes, I see your point. I got some very bad, very cheap shoes a couple of years after 2008.
It's not doing nothing actually.

It's about observing one's own thoughts (basically brain chatter and sometimes sensations, perceptions) from a distance. Meta-cognition. :)
Imagine that you are a top performer working remotely for the last two years. The company have decent work-life balance and plenty of interesting projects. You have respect of coworkers and a plenty of independence.

Musk:

- want to stop remote working and force you to commune for 2h per day
- want to bring "hardcore" work culture from Tesla/SpaceX
- is known from firing people randomly and micromanaging
- have no clear vision for company and is quickly loosing advertisers
- bring outsiders from tesla to take over and judge you based on LOC

Unless you are strapped to H-1B visa, you take 3 months severance and start holiday break.

There are multiple reports of whole teams infra teams leaving. The next thing to happen is a big hack or outage. I only visit Twitter to see things of fire :P
> Unfortunately it seems that cultural aspects like accepting homosexuality...

Are you aware of the research that correlates homosexual traits in men with higher fertility in women from the same genes[1]? These factors are not a strict net-negative. In addition, "culture" isn't transmitted genetically. You could spread a culture with below replacement reproductive rates if the culture was persuasive enough. There's not a "democracy" gene that suddenly emerged and spread from 17th century England. It was the ideas that spread.

Ask HN: Is there a site that is just a text scratchpad?
I'm looking for a site that is basically just a text editor. It doesn't need to save, support multiple files, etc. I just want to type in xyz.com and copy/paste some text. Google Docs is too complicated and slow to load.

Does something like this exist?
Wonderful fabric for mountain gear.

My knee-jerk reaction is that this looks like a marketing/eng split, or even just marketing/marketing. The main "corp" website of every org I've ever worked for is managed by marketing, not by engineering, and it usually shows in the quality. Usually drives someone in engineering (like me) slightly crazy, but honestly there are a million other larger fish driving me more crazy.

IME they're almost always completely separated from the "real" systems that engineers are working on / managing. A compromise wouldn't go far, in the backend. Something like XSS would be worse.

Always seems to come from some push to "running a website isn't our 'core focus' so we should vendor that" … or something. I've also encountered immense push-back on eng-managed corp websites: all those pesky best practices get in the way of just shoveling "content" (i.e., PR) out. And so it ends up separated from eng.
Humor is not clickbait. The research shows that it is possible to compromise pathogen storage facilities by embedding specific frequencies/tones in popular music, hence the humorous but not misleading title.
Just because it's a well-known band doesn't mean that you can reasonably expect people to be familiar with that particular passage, especially since it doesn't look like a song lyric, it looks like prose, and you posted it without attribution, or even a hint that it was anything other than what it appears on the surface to be: prose.

And it's not just prose, it's prose of the sort that one might expect to find here on HN. So you should not be surprised when someone's Bayesian prior on that passage leans heavily towards original prose.

(The real irony here is that it actually is a deepity, it just happens to be sourced from a context where deepities are normal.)
You realize that the CIA exist to keep international interests in line, and the FBI exists for domestic tranquility?
I recall seeing research that immediacy and inevitability of punishment have way more effect on re-offense rates than harshness of the punishment.

That said, incarcerating people is liable to immerse them into the hardened criminal culture, which is not productive and calls for some alternatives.
Do you deploy confidential information into the repo ? That would be the root problem.
Yep, I know. I monitor these as they appear in Certificate Transparency logs and DNS PTR records.

Freenom TLDs are just junk. Save yourself the hassle and default block :-).

Something like passkey?
Sort of a “spec bump+”.

The biggest change, IIRC, is that the M1 was based on the A12(?) but the M2 was based on the A14(?). So the CPU/GPU design was newer. They tweaked and improved other modules like the neural engine too.

So it wasn’t just clock speed, but to most end users it was just somewhat faster and more mature.

Nothing special/amazing/transformative.
Someone got a static build working on MacOS: https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/9359 (it looks like a pain, but certainly doable given enough time and dependency fiddling)
The author uses "implement halts using X" in the sense of reducing the halting problem to the problem of X (technically, using Turing reduction).

Not in the sense of solving the halting problem with a function which has an occurrence of X.
You think that the USA has never employed it's three letter agencies to protect its interests?
This is also true, another very famous and memeable case on the inverse of what I said are videogame translations, "All your base are belong to us" :)
I'm not sure why jq has its own language which is not js based.

At least xmlstarlet has xslt for language.
In France at least, in sports outdoors shops, pretty much all high-end jackets and mountain shoes have gore-tex.

Some Salomon ones might have their own custom ~equivalent tech though, probably easier and cheaper to make new products as they control the whole process, no need for licensing & testing by the Gore-Tex company.
Not so in Netherlands. All networks accept out-of-network phones. I also never had any problems in Germany, Belgium, France or UK.
> a substrate that such data structures may emerge from, but without a rigid presumption of how they ought to form

Are there Math theorems that "proves" this sort of "highly abstract" level of designs?
Are there Academics working on this? or is this uncharted territory?
Could it use more readable identifiers like `hang•if•3`?

This stay valid js without mixed case found in usual code in the wild sticking to ascii. To my mind it feels like avoidable visual clutter, all the more in didactic work.

Apart from that, it was nicely done all the way, congratulations and thanks for the pleasing moment.
Society wants the benefits without paying the true costs for parents to raise kids and not have the experience suck. Even in countries with robust pro natalist policies, people want less or no kids.
Then people could derank sites by copying them to stack overflow.
Apple, Intel, Adobe, Google, Pixar, and Intuit collectively control a huge share of the local employment market for software developers. That puts their collusion into a different category altogether.

Why cartels can't work in industries with numerous competitors is literally an Econ 101 topic. Historic cartels only succeed with majority market share and high concentration among a few players. We don't see anything like that in real estate. Not even remotely close.

Your example also doesn't make sense to me. A cartel controlling 2% of the inventory of apartments in a city holds a few apartments off the market. This would indeed raise the equilibrium price, but doesn't benefit the cartel participants. All the excess profits in that scenario are flowing to non-participants. It's the perfect backwards cartel!
As a reminder: a proof by contradiction works by assuming first the negation of a given statement. If from that you can deduce a falsehood you know that statement is true.

In the article the author says:
"If you implement halts using canBeRegex, you’ve got a proof by contradiction that canBeRegex can’t exist."

Which is plainly a false statement. What he means is the following statement:
"If you show that if canBeRegex is computable then halts is computable, you’ve got a proof by contradiction that canBeRegex can’t exist."

Those two statements are clearly not equivalent. And only the second one is true.
I think, generally speaking, it’s a PHP standard practice and more broadly a scripting language practice, though it doesn’t really apply to Node.

No pre-compiling is required, so you just ship the files. Especially true for anything that offers an Apache module (like mod_php).

There's no need to minimize or explode this; We need to put this into proportion. An information leak by itself is nothing, but it must be reported and taken seriously (by default, it should be fixed).

I'm not disappointed this happens at tesla.com; I expect as much. But to many people, this is a top-notch brand. You don't expect this on google.com or nsa.gov or fbi.gov either, do you?
I work in .gov so I have a lot of experience with that kind of security “engineer” but I’d take a more moderate position. This stuff is super-easy to resolve so you should spend a couple of minutes closing it and then focus on more complex things, with the reason being that when something like log4j happens you aren’t making it so easy for attackers to know whether you’re vulnerable – passively telling them makes it easier to avoid things like WAF blocking rules which will block IPs which actively prove.
