As a preface: I’m sure my tone regarding “enterprise devs” is going to sound insulting. But for all intents and purposes that’s what I did most of my career until I learned “cloud”.

This is definitely not true. I have no idea where the conceit comes from that everyone can sell software to 10 businesses.

Most small businesses don’t have unique problems and are already served by various SaaS companies that do it at scale.

Statistically, if you’re a software developer on either side of the bimodal divide in the US.

A) enterprise corp dev doing boring old CRUD work working in any major city in the US with two or three years of experience [1] and one job hop you can easily make over twice the local median household income for the area

B) working for one of the BigTech companies where fresh college grads make twice the median household income - ie they come out of school with offers of $150K+

At my first tech lead job I was forced to hire your standard C# CRUD contractors for a lot of the integration work I was doing. We were paying the contracting company about $100 an hour. But the contractors themselves were making $60-$70/hour. You’re not going to get a company to pay outrageous rates for Tun of the mill staff augmentation type jobs.

On the other hand, at the last minute, management decided to “move to the cloud”. I didn’t know cloud from a hole in the wall back then. Those “consultants” made good money.

Six months later after going through one AWS certification just so I could talk the talk , I realized that they really didn’t know much, led us astray and were just a bunch of old school netOps people who treated AWS as an overpriced Colo.

That’s when I decided to switch companies, get some hands on experience with true “DevOps” - combining my development experience with AWS and specialize in what I became to know as “cloud application modernization”.

Now I could charge companies a lot for my expertise. But I didn’t want the hassle of working for myself so I got a permanent job in the consulting department at BigTech.
So this is exactly the perspective I’m looking for from HN.

If my post (which clearly wasn’t for or against the linked material) was not immediately flagged and killed then it would’ve been possible to actually solicit this kind of perspective.

But if my post is immediately killed then I never get to see this kind of insight.

Hence my question about whether there’s a better model than simply flagging content, as HN currently works.

From TFA:

> To see this, we can look at our own immune systems. For instance, immune cells inside your body known as neutrophils are just as suicidal as the worker bees. When bacteria invade your body, neutrophils migrate to the site of infection, unleash a whole cocktail of toxins onto the bacteria, and then proceed to die within 1-2 days.
In both cases, the suicidal nature of neutrophils and that of worker bees benefit the bigger entity that surrounds them. For worker bees, their death may save the colony from Winnie the Pooh, and the death of Neutrophils may save you from dying from a bacterial infection.
Love the score during that scene.
Obviously tech itself isn't collapsing -- it's the astronomical growth that's collapsing, and much of valuation is based on growth. Now it's turning into merely "normal" growth. But that's all investor-side.

Consumer-side, it's really more about tech maturing. If we take your example of owning a smartphone, it means that most people already have smartphones, and since the yearly upgrades are much more incremental now, people don't need to upgrade as often.
I bet most people aren't going to the local supermarket on a long distance truck.
I'm not even sure how to react to this.

Since, I don't think it barely helps stopping the war, but shouldn't open source (as well as science, sports and other areas) be free of this kind of stuff?

I try not to regret. It is a pain to do so. You can't go back in time and you can't change a thing but we torment ourselves with the wish to do so. Stop doing that. We live now and if we want to spend more time with our loved ones we have to do it. Now. Not later.

> I'm curious why you think it is okay to publish nudes of someone against their will.

I in no way stated or implied that that is OK in any way. such practices are vile and disgusting as was the outing of Thiel.

However, a "first amendment violation" , neither incident was.

"free speech" means, as we are reminded constantly by right wingers when they are denouncing "cancel culture", "speech that we despise is also free". Gawker in no way violated the first amendment. Right wing billionaires who claim to be things like "free speech absolutists" are full of it and will use any tools at their disposal to silence and "cancel" speech they don't like, including using their billions to abuse the justice system, launching torrents of frivolous lawsuits against media companies that published a story they didn't like (but had no legal basis to challenge).

There are two interesting things that might change drastically in the tech business. The first is the subject of this article: a new technology, and it might be something like ChatGPT, is going to blow up the search/advertising industry. When I am not writing books or coding, much of my digital life is just my Apple Watch. Siri is not a bad interface for interacting with the watch but a more conversational model for searching for information and using watch functionality will take the whole experience to another level.

The second thing that I expect to upset the entire tech industry is a global economic slowdown. People are good at prioritizing scant personal economic resources when pushed against a wall, and will avoid unnecessary expenses.
Disclaimer: I Am Not An Expert. (I know nothing! Mostly.)

So far I'm sticking with FireFox. When I update my bookmarks, I save them to a JSON file, and then export them to HTML, which I use with my other, non-FireFox browsers.

I also have created a sort of "table of contents" system that allows me to narrow in on similar bookmarks. It's too high-maintenance, but it helps

Example, weekly news links...

02-WEEKLY (heading only)

02-01-WEEKLY (folder containing bookmarks)

02-02-WEEKLY (folder containing bookmarks)

02-03-WEEKLY (folder containing bookmarks)

02-04-WEEKLY (folder containing bookmarks)

02-05-WEEKLY (folder containing bookmarks)

Each of these sections (which are folders) has a different slant: Basic news, Fluff, Food & Health, Science News, Computing News, and so on. Some other categories I have go much deeper, and if I need to revise them it's a major pain.

If eventually I need to do something else, I'll probably adopt or create something with Emacs org-mode.

Example: (I just found this, have no idea if it's actually relevant...) "org-mode for browser bookmarks" at
https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/bshrg0/orgmode_for_b..., which points to "org-linkz" at

Calling myocarditis "a passing nuisance" is absolutely insane.
Good point. I took a chance with my Great Courses only knowledge of game theory.

Another point people are pointing out is that bees don't usually die after stinging other bee. Other bees are the easiest vectors for the infections I have had to deal with. I wonder what evolutionary advantage of not returning to the hive grants when a bee stings a larger animal (mammal, bird, etc).
There needs to be a purpose behind the studying. Studying just to study can be done, but you will more than likely forget what you studied as it won't be applicable to anything of interest which at times is just a necessary evil.

For example I study programming language source code, kernel source code, hypervisor source assembly, gcc, LLVM, other compilers, write my own compilers, interpreters and study Assembly Language and tech specs for different architectures. My peers always wonder how I am so accurate in writing such high performance software. Well, what they don't know is I know what is going on under the hood literally down to the assembly and how what is written is processed through the chips, copper, and other elements on the board and other connected components.

I just really enjoy knowing how things really work and even better when things go wrong because I have the ability to debug down to the hardware level if necessary to fix the problem even on brand new hardware I have never seen before. As sometimes the performance or security problems are not a software issue, but a hardware issue that is holding things back or leaking secrets.

The challenge of solving hard problems is what gets me into studying which makes it fun and exciting to me as I know learning something new is just around the corner. Nothing like reading RFCs, SPEC sheets, NIST docs and more to help see the different ways things have been documented vs the actual implementation, what security loopholes were done and why there were done (mostly in the name of performance gains) and other things that the majority of people do not know of due to it being undocumented, improperly documented.

Key is to find a way to make the subject at hand somewhat of a challenge to help keep you motivated and push through it. Other engineers and scientists know that feeling of finding a breakthrough or truly understanding how something really works and that ability to squeeze every drop of performance out of something is amazing after putting in the time to study. If in the academic setting, professors respect those that can dive deep and show true mastery of the subject at hand. As most people only scratch the surface of the tech they use every day as deep understanding is not always required, but sure does bring a whole new level of fun to using or creating tech.
Study also the history of computing. It's a really powerful tool for gaining a deeper understanding of computing technolgies, how they work, and why they work that way.

Perhaps start with a video activity recognition model like X-CLIP [1].

It generates activity labels or free-text descriptions for segments of your video.

Then use text matching rules or, if the activities are diverse, semantic matching to select activities to either retain or remove corresponding fragments in the video.

Try a model demo first with one of your sports video to see what it outputs [2].
Alternative demos are also available on [3].

Don’t you think it’s at least be insightful for whoever’s submitting content to understand why it was flagged?

If it’s content a submitter’s come across for the first time, and they don’t see it discussed here on HN, so they post it, and it immediately gets suppressed without any explanation, how does that help the submitter? (e.g. if it’s been autoflagged, it’d be helpful to see a reason for that, and perhaps a link to past discussion the submitter might have missed).

It just concerns me that this mechanism could be prematurely filtering out many valuable conversations that I’d like to be aware of.
What do you mean by they don't want trans people to exist at all? Same way trans people do not want conservatives to exist at all, or something more sinister? Because I have many conservative friends and they may not agree with different life choices, but that doesn't mean they won't tolerate it.

If you have a circle of people who want to eradicate trans people, I would not label them as conservatives first, they are psychopaths and I would not let them in my circle.

The film wasn't perfect but these complaints are not very compelling to me. The cheat of "what you thought you saw wasn't what you saw" is kind of a lazy cheat but it is very common in detective and heist films. The point about whether the sister who journaled everything wouldn't have journaled about creating the software is a good one and the conceit of the twin being able to fool the friends is also a good point but is also a tried and true cliche.

To be clear, Stanford has always policed the language on its websites. Like I said, any department (in any org) that communicates with the public will police its language. The only thing notable here is that some people disagreed with the particular list of words when it was made public.

If this was a topic that was somehow discussed previously, should there not be some kind of mechanism to indicate this in the flagging process? (Ideally automated)
I understand where you are coming from! But I relish the time off - now that I've come to terms with the fact that nothing will actually get 'done' and most of the time will be 'working' as child care.

Pre kids I was always building stuff, gardening, a little DIY and loads of drinking and eating out.

Now free time is either being pretty "unproductive" with the kids entertaining themselves but still needing watching, or doing the stuff they want to do.

It doesn't last long - and whether you do it or someone else does the kids will need someone to play with them and look after them - focus on supporting them to develop while remembering that you actually have near zero control over how they turn out.

And honestly, a 2nd child can massively lighten the load if they get on (or make things twice as hard if they don't...)

China is currently amidst an explosion of covid cases and deaths. Outside the first tier cities, China is still a low income country. If you look at the excess deaths numbers across nations, you will see that some kept good records, while some did not. The deaths reported through official channels are about 1/3rd of excess deaths. There is plenty of room for official reports to understate deaths, which makes it tempting for incompetent governments to minimize failures.

Modern 802.11 versions don‘t really use spread-spectrum anymore (neither FHSS, which is used by some versions of Bluetooth, nor DSSS, which was used in the original 802.11 and up to 802.11b), but rather OFDM on fixed carrier frequencies.

Switching channels due to DFS is not "frequency hopping" in that sense – that would be many orders of magnitude faster.

The worst downturns tend to be at least somewhat sector dependent. There has been at least one aerospace downturn when PhDs were driving cabs in Seattle.

In the dot-com crash, a lot of people in software especially left the industry and many never really got their careers back on track or recovered financially. On the other hand in 2008/9, there was belt tightening in the software industry but overall the impact didn't end up being all that great. Remains to be seen if this period will be the former or latter. Of course, individuals can still be very affected even if the overall impact isn't huge.
If your students get it for free why not make it open access on wikibooks or something like that? The only reason people in academia were publishing the books as books was for resume stuffing but that was a different domain.
Here are some numbers in a similar direction:

* Eight deaths out of 13 million doses is 0.6 micromorts from getting the vaccine, about equivalent to driving 150 mi.

* For a 35-year-old man in the US, risk of death if you're diagnosed with covid is 0.1% [1] or 1000 micromorts.

My only bee sting was on my chin (during recess in grade school) and it was definitely more painful than the wasp stings I've received on other parts of the body.
