The stereotypical conservative supports the right of businesses to do pretty much whatever the hell they want, but gets mad when Twitter or Facebook tries to moderate disinformation and hate speech. But they also hate government being useful or providing public services to anyone, so they would likely oppose a government-funded "public square" platform. And surely, they would be upset when that platform inevitably has to moderate hate speech and veiled threats and trolls, who would then have even more credence to complain about "censorship" since the government would be doing it, causing even more shit.

Basically, I am saying conservatives have conflicting views on the rights of businesses to conduct themselves when they try to say Twitter must let them say nazis are cool and vaccines don't work.
Then you should be happy as this policy will directly interfere with India's and China's exports to Europe, resulting in less demand for coal power and also less money for them to build coal plants.
My GPU drivers crash and take out my entire computer about once a night (AMD Windows drivers are just..... abysmal) and I just grumble.

If a tiny local bridge collapses, with nobody on it, it probably still is newsworthy and people get upset.
Just saying that you are “lucky” without considering the fact that you make money for your employer makes you into a simp for your employer.

So you’re privileged, you say. What about your employer?
> Nobody sane will believe them

Those blue collar Reagan Democrats that you're talking about are the ones that believe that. Same people more or less.

That is why Trump did well, he appeared to them to be a pro-worker Republican in the 2016 campaign and they voted for him.

While anti-communism may have been more impactful in the 70s, the Democrats being solid pro-big-business for the past 30 years has convinced a lot of people to vote Republican since they'll get low taxes and the freedom to do whatever they want personally. You may claim they're not sane or they're stupid, but that doesn't win their votes, and they're not interested in long-winded explanations of what Democrats are providing for them at the margins while yelling at them that they're racist/sexist/homophobic/etc.

If the Democrats were more pro-labor across the board and the message was simply "here is universal health care / child care / college and strong labor regulations for everyone" then there would be a real blue wave.

Depends on the team. Always worth applying and finding out. Generally, timezones matter more than borders, but sometimes that's not the case.

I don't think any of it had to do with people having "nothing better to do on their own projects".

I don't know about you, but if my new boss, the one that threatened to fire 3/4ths of the staff, told me to do something, it doesn't matter what I was working on before, my sole new project would be what the boss wanted.
I feel like that average is really low. Talking with my buddy who is a trucker, he said that 6mpg is on the low end. His truck, which isn't anything special, would usually get 8-9. He said those guys getting 6 or lower are usually owner / operators who have older trucks, either because they like the older trucks or they can't afford to get a new one. Most fleets have much newer trucks, a lot of which can get up to 10mpg or more. That may not seem like a huge improvement, but over thousands of miles it adds up really fast.

I honestly thought that the price for mirrorless cameras would drop as demand dropped, but that didn't happen.
Seems like a reasonable solution would be to make a market for a subset of emissions and increase it slowly over time. For example, you could require 0.1% be purchased in carbon markets in scale that number up over time as the carbon Market place grows and costs go down. It seems strictly better than a flat tax that goes into the general fund.
Unpopular opinion: if you don't charge a fee to enter the permit lottery, people will stuff the lottery using bots. It is a shame the fee doesn't go to the park service, though.
standardized tests are best available method (at scale) because they're at least fair and transparent.

Transparent, maybe. Fair? As noted above, test success is largely a measure of a student's access to resources and parental support. And the usual retort to that assertion is that study books are free at the library, to which I'd respond "if it's that easy, what is the test really measuring?"

Anyways, the main discussion was the insane number of admin staff on campus. Admissions staff is only a small slice of that.
We're talking about a major political donor who just defrauded people for billions of dollars, whose parents are extremely well connected to the DNC and have actually written a substantial amount of legislation put forward by Democratic lawmakers, and who was sleeping with the niece of the current head of the SEC who was appointed by Biden. He has every single motivation to lie about this.
Yes, I agree with that. I did not intend to excuse what Kanye did, though I realize now that my post could be read that way. It was rather an expression of disbelief at the absurdity of an anti-Semite accidentally posting a UFO cult's logo.

Qatar doesn't have UBI, but I'd argue that what they haven't isn't very distinguishable from UBI. Qatari citizens are basically guaranteed a cushy government job where they are free to do whatever they want. 75% of Qataris are employed in the public sector [1], but they aren't actually doing the real work. For example, even though Qatar Airways is owned by the government, you'd most likely never see a flight crew member who's actually a citizen of Qatar. Similar jobs exist in Saudi Arabia, but recently they have been transitioning to a form of UBI [2].

There is, but it's extremely skewed by social graph lock-in.
Yes, access controls are critically important for many companies in many domains. My employer operates under such operating procedures. It seems reasonable that if your software collects and stores user information, employee access to all systems should be tightly controlled, and "turned off" if an employee is fired, laid off, or quits.
Yeah, that firing process is deeply dehumanising.
Considering the Western diet, human evolutionary history of constant near starvation, and how chemotherapy works, isn't cellular stress a near universal weakness of most neoplasmic cells?
From a sustainability perspective, it’s regrettable that regulations are so fixated on the physical machine. It would be entirely possible to logically segment a work environment from a personal environment on a machine without one’s processes spilling over into the other’s. But nope, we all lug two laptops and two phones (if you use iOS).
Training someone to pass a test to get in is not the same as finding the right person to go there. Does this open up the possibility of discrimination? Yes.

Tell me about how many people I know who went to a CISSP bootcamp, passed the test, and walk around not knowing shit? It's the same in a lot of universities too. Elite universities are looking for people who fit their image and who they believe are going somewhere in life. Universities, especially universities are looking for people that are going places. They are looking for people who will bring recognition, money, and fame back to the university.
The problem is the land owners who didn't see it as a tragedy are still the ones pulling the strings. Florida is on borrowed time.

Yeah, price segmenting and protecting higher end models is unfortunately common with most technology companies. It becomes particularly obvious when folks install magic lantern (or similar) on their camera bodies and see what unlocked firmware will make use of on their camera.

I feel you, they definitely are out to make a profit and that definitely affects the value you get for your money (as opposed to what the hardware can actually do).
Completely disagree here. See my comment in the main thread of this post. A startup could net anywhere from 200k/yr for a state park contract to 15m+/yr depending on the state. However, realistic cap on revenue with a healthy market share for just the park management / reservation management side is 55-75m annually.

We are actually competing but it's important to understand that companies like Booz Allen have fought (successfully much of the time) to have a number of qualifiers put in these RFP's that would prevent any start-up from being accepted. Things like "You need X years in this specific market for your proposal to be accepted". Obviously the only ones who can possibly have that are the existing vendors which virtually eliminates the possibility of fresh competition. We've successfully got a few states to change their requirements however, which is the first time that's been done in a quite some time.
Managing satellites is labor-intensive. Setting up a really big database and talking to advertisers is not rocket science. Both companies could probably operate with a lower headcount, but Twitter is fat and everyone knows it. They're not worth $44 billion in their wildest dreams, and they've already been hemorrhaging revenue for the better half of a decade. An operationally viable Twitter does not include 7500 employees, unless ~6000 of them are working on something other than Twitter.
What other kind of ideas are there?

> To me, it is pretty clear: if you put your extra time into for-profit work, you suck.

What an odd perspective. I was brought up to recognize that hard work and going above and beyond what was expected is admirable and will get you appreciation, recognition, and advancement. Voluntarily doing work that you think needs doing because you want to be valued isn't bad, it's a life lesson. I got my first software testing job by going above and beyond my menial mailroom duties. I got my first software engineering job by going above and beyond my testing duties. I got all my promotions, bonuses, and stock grants and more than a few job offers by consistently doing more than I had to do.

If there's a project that I'm enthusiastic enough about to want to spend a weekend working on it? Hell yes, I'm going to do it, and I'm going to enjoy myself without worrying that someone else thinks I'm raising expectations beyond the bare minimum. Maybe someone with that attitude just isn't offering as much to an employer and they should get comfy with the idea of others outperforming them.

As time goes more content on the internet will be produced by these models, and eventually these models will be learning from each other rather than from humans.

That's not at all what the GP post said. It's clearly about employees who are fine being exploited at work, not all employees everywhere.

Some employees are OK with working immense amounts of unpaid overtime to please a Musk-type boss. That's a very different situation than the type of employee who has a life outside of work and wants to get paid fairly.
Same with Google home devices. So many silly bugs and glitches.
Your average individual would have investigated something regardless of the presence or absence of corporate media, mostly because these stories don't just immediately happen; they take months of work where the public obviously has no clue what is or isn't being looked into.

But your average individual also doesn't, and realistically won't, have the reach of corporate media. That's where their value lies: they are able to get stories out to millions of people and the recognition behind their name to give credibility to the reporting.
Starting to get a little worried. Our clients are only so patient.

4chan is also available for that
But in fact, every student pays a different amount.

The very high sticker price of tuition exists to let the schools charge each student a customized price by applying discounts (e.g. scholarships and aid) as they choose. They can compete for students this way. The most desirable students (by whatever criteria the school has chosen) are offered more discounts.

This system operates at every level. A student of medium-high desirability, say a well-off white kid with good-but-not-great grades, might be offered discounts from a less well known regional school, but not from a nationally recognized school, even if her family can afford to pay full fare anywhere.

Even better, escape to England, appeal against the conditions of the US prison system:

"In January 2021, a British judge ruled Australian-born Assange should not be extradited, saying his mental health meant he would be at risk of suicide if convicted and held in a maximum security prison.

But that decision was overturned after an appeal by U.S. authorities who gave a package of assurances, including a pledge he could be transferred to Australia to serve any sentence."

https://www.reuters.com/world/julian-assange-appeals-europea...

@LegitShady It delayed his extradition for years while court cases and appeals worked out - and, if it goes through, he'll escape to an Australian prison instead of an American one. Worked as well as it could compared to alternatives.
Fighting in the court of public opinion when you know you'll lose in the court of actual law...
yes, it goes against. I think there are vanishingly few actual free speech absolutists, maybe none, and most who say they are actually draw the line somewhere around online harassment, hate speech, copyright, "when an angry mob pressures you", and "when you have no money because no one will advertise with you".

Free speech absolutism is illegal. There are laws you must follow or the FBI will come knocking on your door.
Huh. When did Red Rock Canyon add permits? I seem to remember just driving there.

edit: Ah, here it is, October 2020, $15/car plus $2 reservation fee: https://www.mountainproject.com/forum/topic/119660918/red-ro...

The recreation.gov entry ( https://www.recreation.gov/timed-entry/10075177 ) includes a 4 star review:

"The reservation system is idiotic and predatory! What’s the point of having it if there are open time slots all throughout the day? If I’ve paid for the interagency pass why doesn’t it cover the “reservation fee”? And despite there being reservations parking was still full in all major areas. If the system doesn’t reduce crowds then it’s must only be there to nickel and dime us. Public lands should be accessible for the public to use, especially local residents. Yosemite National Park and Arches have now removed their reservation systems and they receive millions of more annual visitors and are much more remote and wild. This is a shameless cash grab and must be abolished. "

What would have gotten them to 1 star?!!?
Humans don't need crypto currency to function in the modern world. The only reason why crypto currency took off was speculation, and this speculation led to the assumption that it was a Ponzi scheme. The truth is that crypto currency offers a secure, digital way to transfer funds and store value. While speculation has caused its value to fluctuate significantly, its underlying technology has been tested and proven to be reliable. As such, crypto currency is a legitimate technology that serves an important purpose in today's digital economy.

Lightning payments on the Bitcoin blockchain will be essential for identifying and paying for machine learning model use. Just as Splunk is used for Big Data searching, Lightning will be used for machine model payments and identity, allowing machines to quickly and securely make payments while simultaneously identifying themselves. This is important for the continued development of AI and machine learning, as it allows machines to make payments for their work and be identified.

> I’m not saying that’s how you’re running things

Good, because we're not.

The main takeaway here, which I think we agree on, is that a good hiring decision requires more than one input. We happen to use a coding challenge as one input in our decisions, but I agree that a collaborative discussion could work too. In particular, we do ask about background and learning style, among other things, in subsequent interviews.

Overall, if I had to attach a percentage to it, I'd say the coding challenge is no more than 25% of the overall decision, with the provision that if you clearly just don't know what you're doing at all - which has happened just a handful of times that I can remember - we're not going to invest more time in you as a candidate.

> There’s a growing contingent of the types of people who you’d want the most, but will not consider your team for doing this.

All I can say to this is that you're probably right, but also that almost no one is as uniquely qualified as they think they are. There are millions of candidates, and especially now that more software companies are OK with remote work, we can consider more of them than before. This is really good and really bad, the latter because employers are even more likely to :shrug: at this sort of thing and move to an equivalently-capable candidate who doesn't complain about having a one hour coding test.
The NY Mag article argues against that interpretation.
Ask HN: Self hosted user friendly chat app for family?
I am looking for a self hosted chat solution I can use with my family. As I will self host it, I do not care about end to end encryption (SSL is fine).

I am currently running conduit with the matrix.org protocol.

Protocol is very complicated (and things like sending messages from a web hook for example is complex). Also, I tried to join federated rooms, but my client (element) just crash. So I don't really care about keeping my server.

I want to change mostly because I don't get mobile push notifications (and some features I want below are missing).

I tried different matrix clients but none are really nice and tick all the boxes, so I don't feel like keeping my server.

I don't care about the protocol, I know XMPP and IRC which are both "OK", but something proprietary but open source would be fine.

On the client side, I have a hard time to find the following features:

required:

- android and linux client

- mobile notifications (on android)

- read receipt

- inline images

- message edit

- message deletion

nice to have:

- easy gif sending (like being able to post a tenor or similar gif)

- stickers

- link preview

I wonder if the collective HN brain has any idea.

Cheers
It is not blatantly wrong. Virtually all Democrats supported paid leave for rail workers, and virtually no Republicans did.
No, anything full time that silos is anti social. Cutting off the outside world is a useful facility in temporary measures.

If the cap and headphones were full time they would be anti social too. They are for temporary periods as needed.
