> It doesn’t need any New World Order conspiracy either.

NWO is not a conspiracy theory any longer. This exact terminology is openly used by many politicians now, demanding for a NWO. Depending which bubble you live in, you have not seen any or only too little such speeches.
No offense but at a top 5 tech company in Canada the top engineer isn't going to be an IC. They're a principal and definitely leading a team. Also the biggest tech cos have regular cost of living salary increases, especially during the pandemic when retention was poor.

Something doesn't add up here, it seems like hot-shit-new-grad-itis. Where you throw yourself in a role as a relatively junior person and wildly overperform, but then over time you slow down the unsustainable pace, and people have higher expectations, and you just begin to meet expectations instead of wildly exceeding them. It seems really common in people for whom programming comes naturally.

America's 2022 Slowdown
A major school of thought is that as soon as someone goes to the effort of getting another job offer, they've psychologically checked out, so you might as well let them go.
> This is fucked up on its face. They should be making $15/hr or whatever the living wage is in the area (probably more) and tips should be on top of this. How did tipping go from a bonus to something someone needs to survive?

Regardless, that ship sailed a long time ago. Restaurants have tried the "tip in price" model. It doesn't work; homo economicus is a lie. Consumer behavior is pretty well understood on this question. Remember that if the restaurant goes under then everyone loses their jobs anyways.

The only viable solution that ensures decent pay and also keeps the business viable is to implement it as "mandatory tipping".

> If a company as large and with as many workers as DoorDash was able to get away with it for over a year[1], I'm sure that there are small businesses out there doing it unnoticed.

Agreed. But tip theft happens regardless. I don't think the "mandatory tip" model makes it either harder or easier. At the end of the day most people pay with credit and the owner of the restaurant owns the till that counts out that tips.

I'm not saying that this situation is ideal; I'm just saying: what's the alternative that actually works?
Of course it is, its eyestalk was cut off.
> The given title here is much more informative than the article title of "WA outback proves no match for Aussie nuclear know-how".

It's in violation of HN guidelines.
Sounds about right. A while back, during a merger, an enterprising colleague, when asked casually by the manager if what he'd do if he were laid off, said "I think I really like sailing" - the rest of us when asked said we'd probably just get another tech job.

He got let go with a very nice severance package and immediately went full time consulting on (what I imagine) was a side gig for him before hand. Years later we met on another job and laughed reminiscing about it.
I was in a similar situation late last year - top performer, no raise for years, lots of talk about how valuable I am, but little tangible reward. I was earning a decent salary, but not commensurate with my skills, experience and individual contribution.

What did I do? I continued to be the same top performer. I killed every task assigned to me and developed valuable IP in my spare time. I helped recruit and train new hires. I also wrote a very detailed email to my manager and exec team detailing my contribution, my vision for the next two years and my request for a significant raise. At the same time, I updated my resume and LinkedIn profile. I low-key began posting about my side projects and researching other positions in my career progression path.

After some time, my management team came back with a minimal raise - a token amount - and a promise to review it again in the new year. Concurrently, I was crushing my interviews at another firm and quickly received an offer for a position well-suited to my skills and interests at approximately 75% more than my previous salary. The new equity package is also a significant improvement. I accepted the offer, and now I'm crushing it for someone else.

I harbor no hard feelings against my previous employer - how they were operating wasn't personal, just business. Likewise, I'm sure they appreciate that my leaving wasn't personal, just business.
Link to the source of your data?
The idea technology is completely neutral is obviously stupid and obviously wrong.

Neil Postman has two amazing books on this subject.

It is not even that technology is good or bad, any technology will have good and bad aspects but the main issue is that we have surrendered culture and agency to technology as a society.

There is no going back or fix now. The fix for all was a culture that devalues bad uses of technology so that there is no money in creating something shitty. We basically have the opposite of that. Even completely useless technology is worth a ton of money because of our culture.

The solution is not Luddism either. Especially a ridiculous techno-Luddism.

For me, the Faustian bargain with technology has already been signed in blood and there is nothing to do other than enjoy the roller coaster ride.
Is there a way to place the BPF filter after IP packet reassembly?

If anyone on this site working as a Dev is making 10/hr I question whether they can even navigate to the ChatGPT website by themselves in the first place. At a real number like 50/hr you only need to save 1.2 minutes per working day for it to break even. Which is trivially easy. You could save that by having ChatGPT write your emails for you alone.

Great takeaway:

> Suttle and his team found that viruses and bacteria are often swept up into the atmosphere by attaching themselves to particles in soil dust and sea spray. The researchers used platforms in Spain’s Sierra Nevada Mountains to detect how many viruses and bacteria were settling there every day. They found billions of viruses and tens of millions of bacteria being deposited there per square meter every day.
The problem isn't writing formulas. The issue is that large complex XL spreadsheets become virtually impossible to maintain because you have formulas spread all over the place, sometimes across sheets. I have complex workbooks from 15+ years ago that fall under this category, despite the fact that I go out of my way to document as much of what goes into making these monsters as possible.

The gap XL has not crossed yet (officially, there might be projects out there, yet that's not going to establish a standard) is a translation layer to something that looks like real code, with the flexibility and maintainability of real code.

There are other issues, of course. For example, no easy way to create test suites for complex spreadsheets. Imagine a complex solver of some sort that goes through generations of updates by different people. Imagine having no way to run a quick set of standardized tests to ensure your latest rocket calculations or investment crystal ball spreadsheet isn't going to crash the rocket into a mountain or collapse the investment portfolio due to a coding error.
Of course you can, even if somebody else does it. Case in point: any penal code.
Human run media has been around for a while, and I think people have definitely seen issues with certain biases more and more. This flavor of AI is relatively new, so now we see an issue with bias there as well.

It seems really simple, am I missing your point?
So? When humans do this they are subject to copyright laws, and they can and have been sued for accidentally reproducing a melody.

History? In the days before books were common stories were not told from written pages but memory. This allowed stories to change and adapt on the storytellers whims (or forgetfulness). Eventually they were ossified in books, of which many people think they are the 'canon'.
Many people, including those on HN, vehemently deny the existence of this phenomenon, or if they agree that it happens it is considered a positive outcome.

The AI moderation appears to have adopted the tenets of Applied Postmodernism, which holds that discrimination against a majority group or an assumed oppressive group is not truly discriminatory.

That is neither a self-evident truth, nor something that is an opinion of a majority of people, yet somehow it's now baked-in into one of the most powerful product on the planet.

Somehow we have an AI that seems to believe in the incredibly destructive notion of Kendi-ism: "The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination."
I don't think the C standard's inclusion of implementation / undefined behavior is due to what OP calls a "documentation standard", documenting a variety og behavior already codified into various implementations...

Rather, it seems that the C standard tried (& succeeded) from the beginning in making it easy to implement a compiler that generated good code, even to the extent of including register allocation hints to the compiler. This also appears to be why the short/int/long types are defined the way they are - not as types with specific ranges, but rather only that long >= int >= short. This allowed a given implementation to map int to whatever was most appropriate to the target CPU, be it 8-, 16- or 32-bit.

In this vein, wanting to be fast on all targets, I don't think C wanted to assume the presence of an MMU or any hardware required to efficiently detect NULL pointers, so instead just left this as an instance of implementation defined behavior.

C isn't alone in this regard - AFAIK many languages only define the behavior of correct programs and leave the behavior of buggy ones as implementation defined.

Here's the answer from the USDA themselves: https://tellus.ars.usda.gov/stories/articles/how-we-store-ou...

The USDA claims the only countries that wash/refrigerate their eggs are the US, Canada, Japan, and Scandiland. The whole argument against washing the eggs is to protect against bacteria, salmonella among them. The thing they focus on primarily for the reason we still wash/refrigerate them is freshness. They carried out a study and found washed/refrigerated eggs were fresher after 15 weeks than those stored using other methods.
There is a reason to fix it as the comments are showing it, but yes it's not really for safety reason. It's annoying, a shitty user experience and makes it feel like a lower quality product. Even if it's a minor thing some users are still bothered by it but probably not enough to the companies to care.
The common theme of most of the above points is that the freedom of the innocent will be reduced or their suffering increased if the change is enacted, while less innocent people can continue to ignore the rules. It's oppression of the weakest.

In general, society should be very careful with the things it bans. Prohibition is a hammer best left for extreme situational outliers, not one that should be used for each and every thing someone happens to dislike.
Ask HN: Does anyone else have anxiety during standup?
As a software engineer, I have 1-2 stand ups per day, 30 minutes each. One with the product and eng team and another with just engineers. The product standup includes directors, executives and managers. We go through three things: What we did yesterday, what we are doing today and if there are there any issues.

I’m having trouble coming up with meaningful updates and constantly question if im doing enough work or providing enough value compared to my coworkers - even if im delivering the work being asked. Sometimes my updates are very brief but my coworkers are quite long and detailed and I feel the team may judge me for the amount of work im doing. It feels like an added stress on top of the actual work and takes up energy in the day.

How do you deal with the stress of standup anxiety? Am I just overthinking?

NT 3.51 had some interesting things that didn't make it across because things got overwritten by Windows 95 versions.

Progman.exe actually allowed nested program groups.
Winfile.exe supported long filenames.

These both seem to have been overwritten by the versions from Windows 95 (with their Windows 3.1 ancestry) so lost those functions going forward.

> If you agree that the process that led to an action was deterministic, then it's entirely unreasonable to use punishments as vengeance, for example.

I disagree, punishment could still be justified if it were effective at deterring or altering future behavior, particularly if it were more effective than any other alternative. You can make a straightforward utilitarian calculation for this, for example.

In any case, the matter of justice is separate from the question of free will. Once you have free will, you still require further assumptions to argue for punitive or restorative justice.
If you want to make the connection, the less accusative, more simple interpretation is that because of their activism with Let Grow, they have the energy and commitment to actually push this story. Most people would just eat the humiliation and harassment to avoid more trouble.

> How do you contradict yourself so quickly and not see it?

where is the contradiction? yes, switching to an electric car when its oil converted to electricity isn't much better but it still represents progress because it creates incentive for an electrical supply chain that can take inputs from things other than oil. The idea is that it creates an opening for renewables to take a foothold where ice presented a blockade.

Well, thank you for your efforts but I do not think I see anything alarming at this stage. (Perhaps this means that your efforts paid off...)

The proposal itself does not explicitly forbid end-to-end encryption; it might one day try to, but the regulatory scrutiny board insists that the legislation should "respect the prohibition of general monitoring obligations."

In fact, having seen all this I think I can kind of see why journalists are not actively "pursuing" this as the article keeps asking.
