> there's still plenty of places in the world that, on the basis of labour costs, it would be vastly cheaper to operate than in the US.

Keep in mind costs aren't just what you have to pay people but also things like regional security, the risk of the government nationalizing your company and assets, ability to get skilled/capable/honest people.

Basically there has to be a degree of stability, including a centralized government that can provide a certain level of law and order in order to attract capital. Otherwise you have to price in the costs of missing a day of work because the factory is being shelled by government/anti-government groups, etc.

Corruption is fine, bribes are fine, because they can be priced in and managed, what can't be managed, planned for and predicted is instability.

For the record my bet on where the next big booms will be is Indonesia, Mexico and to a lesser extant west Africa.
Great charitable interpretations! I wish you had done this impartially for both parties, but no worries! Now, let's look at the situation realistically. Let's say that instead of Steve's side asking for clarifications, he had agreed to pay Christian $10M when he said "I could make it really easy on you, if you think Apollo is costing you $20 million per year, cut me a check for $10 million and we can both skip off into the sunset. Six months of use. We're good. That's mostly a joke." Would Christian then say, "Oh no, I was merely making a joke," or would he accept the offer?

And do you think if Steve had made this offer, would we have even heard a second of this recording?

I mean, come on guys. He literally said "I can make it easy on you," named a price, and then clarified that he was mostly joking.

edit: Thank you for catching that! I've now changed "Steve" with "Steve's side."

I like how you keep on refusing to read the article, but claiming things from it that are straight up untrue.

Reddit announced less than two months ago that there would be pricing changes. But not what those prices would be. Even the loosest possible interpretation of the words "notice" and "several" barely covers that.

Explicitly:

> On April 18th, Reddit announced changes that would be coming to the API, namely that the API is moving to a paid model for third-party apps. Shortly thereafter we received phone calls, however the price (the key element in an announcement to move to a paid API) was notably missing, with the intent to follow up with it in 2-4 weeks.

And at the time, there was absolutely no indication that the prices would be this high.

> The information they did provide however was: we will be moving to a paid API as it's not tenable for Reddit to pay for third-party apps indefinitely (understandable, agreed), so they're looking to do equitable pricing based in reality. They mentioned that they were not looking to be like Twitter, which has API pricing so high it was publicly ridiculed.

They announced the actual prices six weeks later, which would put it May 30th. The day he posted this: https://old.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/13ws4w3/had_a_ca...

Literally the most cursory of reading of the first few paragraphs of the OP would have given you this information.

If you aren't going to bother to read it (that's your prerogative), then don't bother making easily provably false assertions as if they were facts, either.
That is a good point. But human experiments are still allowed, just severely curtailed.

Seems like other fields are able to advance with observational studies, why is Psychology singled out as being impossible.

If studies can't be re-produced, then analyze why and try again until it can be. All the doomsayer arguments in this thread is weird. Who would ever say "man this double slit thing is tough to understand, maybe we shouldn't do physics anymore".

I'd argue this attitude is sexist. Boys tend to learn best with hands on instruction[0], like woodshop, and as we see girls are outnumbering boys in college and the trend is increasing. Instead of including activities and topics that engage boys, we push boys into special education classes and feed them drugs to punish them for not being more like the girls.

I suspect they were aware of it. They didn't rely on it to block bad actors like bots or spammers or ddos-ers, they relied on it to block actors who were at some level implied to follow the social contract of how the internet works (e.g. a website focused at developers).

The actual lesson learned here I think is that certain communities don't have respect for the social contract when it benefits them. Though I suppose you are right, a team of linux users should never have expected a site ran by a venture capitalist firm to respect the social contract.

This is an offer to sell Apollo. The opening stage of a negotiation. There’s nothing wrong with saying this, at all.
> The US has not ratified UNCLOS. You have no right to invoke it in your defense.

You're the one who brought it up first. Also, the US generally adheres to the principles of UNCLOS, as it specifically objects to only a single section (Part XI, the International Seabed Authority).

> Article 25: 1. The coastal State may take the necessary steps in its territorial sea to prevent passage which is not innocent.

But you omit this key part:

> Every State has the right to establish the breadth of its territorial sea up to a limit not exceeding 12 nautical miles, measured from baselines determined in accordance with this Convention.

The Tawain Strait is more than 70 nautical miles wide, ergo, the middle part of the strait is reasonably outside the definition of "territorial sea."

"gleason bound" from,

For the answer and posted in this thread,
I wrote:

The Gleason bound? That's in one of the
D. Knuth volumes The Art of Computer
Programming.

> Second, your "alternative speed"
measures are a hallucination.

No. Instead, I wrote in this thread:

A short answer is, if win in the big-O
comparison, then, no matter how sloppy the
coding, for all sufficiently large n,
still will win no matter how measure
speed. In short, that's the reason people
took big-O very seriously.

If you want to argue against heap sort,
then you need to argue that in counting
comparisons the big-O expression for heap
sort is wrong and loses out to some other
sorting algorithm.

The Gleason bound assumes that each
comparison costs the same. So you may
want to argue that for n keys, as n grows
the issues of caches, locality of
reference, parallel processors, etc. mean
that the cost of each comparison grows so
that in the big-O competition heap sort
can be beat.

I'll let someone else calculate the big-O
expressions again considering locality of
reference, etc.
> Q) What's the difference between a blocking comment and a "normal" comment + rejecting the PR?

Good question. The granularity of the states are a bit different. Rejecting the PR doesn't capture individual thread states. You may even forget to look at thread later by mistake. With the blocking thread, the individual thread needs to be marked as addressed in order for the status check to go green. This helps ensure that the work gets done and also makes it possible to leave comments like: LGTM after comments or something similar.

Another difference is cultural. At a couple of the companies I was at, Request Changes/Reject on GitHub was viewed as passive aggressive and not used. Blocking and non-blocking comments help these team be more explicit and block on smaller changes in a friendlier way.

> C) Exposing metrics like "Review time per reviewer" may, at the wrong hands, incentivise the wrong behavior. For example, a team lead may view long review times by a particular reviewer as them being slow, whereas they are just more thorough. Tracking the total review time for the PR (aggregating the times from multiple reviewers) is more useful.

Visibly does both, it tracks cumulative time across all reviewers and the individual times. The reasoning is to help show the effort people are putting in to the reviews and the people they are reviewing and to understand, to some degree, if a review was thorough. The metrics help show trends and just surface more knowledge, they should still be a single input in a more holistic picture though.

A few examples that becomes possible with these metrics:
(1) You can show why you couldn't get to a task sooner if you spent time reviewing a lot of PRs on the day.
(2) You can understand if your PRs "cost" more than other PRs opened by the team. This can help you write smaller PRs or identify the differences between your work and others'.

We also plan to use this time to help surface an estimated "It will take you X min to review this PR" in the future.
The basic formula from mouse to human is (X mg * (3/37)) = human equivalent dose in mg/kg.

In this case (1000mg * 3/37)) comes out to 81mg/kg. So, if you weigh 80kg, it comes out to 6.48 grams per day.

That's a lot of taurine, but not really a crazy amount. Easy enough to consume.
IMO that era already ended when we transitioned from ICQ, AIM, MSN & co to Whatapp, Signal and the google messenger du jour.

Yes, NYC looks and feels like an aging, antiquated city to me. I'd put D.C. above NYC -- it feels cleaner, newer, more efficient. Even London somehow feels less aged than NYC. Sydney, Helsinki, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam are a tier up again, and then cities like Tokyo and Singapore look like they're from the future.
lots of commodity markets are stuck on "lowest price wins". That means that management does not have as many options as you might think, since they will be put out of business if they cannot compete on price. This really happens quite a bit. Survivors of this brutal system are known to stockpile cash and other assets, for example Apple and their cash piles.
Yup, it isn't enhanced at all, and I don't get extra cravings.

Although I gone up to 25mg while I was experimenting to find a dose that works best for me, my target is 10mg. Maybe that isn't enough to trigger munchies.

Because the only thing I find it good for is music enhancement, I like to take a gummy around 9pm-10pm, then two hours later put on three albums with a particular kind of music, then hope that I get enhancement. If I'm feeling tired that day, though, I put it off because sucks to hit the sweet spot and then immediately fall asleep and not get to enjoy the music.

By enhancement, I mean I experience pronounced stereo separation and deeper notes seem to be very resonant. Sometimes I get little floaty and feel like I'm suspended in zero gravity while I drift to the music. Because I do it only once a week, I don't notice any disruption of my sleep.

Why would this be the end of HN? HN does not have communities, its algorithm is good at supporting diverse content, and the moderators are good at keeping discussion civil.
> It also makes no sense you’re implying this is hurting Reddit. They just shut down a huge ecosystem of free loaders

It’s absolutely insane to call them freeloaders. Reddit’s business model is not “we serve pages with ads and advertisers pay us”, it is “those ‘freeloaders’ create content that is the whole value of the company, it is nothing without that — and this results in every traffic that hits the site”
A Reddit moderator and Reddit user coordinated temporary blackout of various subreddits to protest changes made by Reddit that impact Reddit moderators and users makes perfect sense and may end up being effective in achieving it's goal.

A coordinated blackout on Reddit to protest the new Ugandan anti lgbt legislation wouldn't make as much sense or be as effective. There are regularly posts voted to the front page of reddit about these new laws and other human rights issues and what you might be able to do to help if interested.

These different issues don't have to be in competition and aren't analogous to each other.

Making some amount of profit on it isn't enough. They want to lock down the user experience.

Same reason Google started Google Talk with Jabber, then closed off their ecosystem. Same reason Facebook embraced third party apps, then shut them all down. Same reason Twitter is locking down their API currently. At a certain size companies want to decide the user experience without outside interference, and they don't want to share.

If you read reddit on BaconReader or a similar app, when you pull up the app you will see 10 posts from subreddits you subscribed to. If you pull up the reddit app, you will see 2 posts, 2 ads, and 2 suggested posts you don't care about. Even if reddit charges for the API, the existence of these alternate clients that work way better makes reddit look greedy and bad, like they don't care about their users' experience. So they wanted to kill those alternative methods of using the site. In the process, they look extremely greedy and bad, and like they really don't care about their users' experience. Yet Facebook went through the same process, and they mostly kept their users. And shutting off the 3rd party systems meant they got to decide the entire user experience without having to compromise with anyone.

They might end up backtracking because of the boycott, and charge a reasonable amount for the API to make a profit. That would allow the 3rd party apps to keep running while not losing money on them. But that is the compromise. The goal was to kill the apps.
The difference is that there is no generally agreed upon alternative for the exodus, yet. Lemmy (like Mastodon for Twitter) is too big of a chore for regular people to use / understand.

But FWIW, I exclusively use Reddit through the Apollo app on my phone and have no intention of installing the Reddit app. I may still end up on reddit occasionally with my desktop browser, but I expect usage to drop by 99%.

I will concede that where you put your point of origin determines how you measure the damage.

What I won't concede is that if you measure relative power between Russia and the US, Snowden's actions reduced US power and increased Russian power. Not in a values sense, but in a realpolitik sense.

I think he planted a seed in our rot which will eventually destroy us. I think that seed is in the form of a warning to people of good faith and good conscience that the government is not the place for them.

I think it is probably most correct to say that we are damaging ourselves in response to Snowden's actions.

> Where is the evidence for that?

I am pretty convinced wikileaks is/was/or became part of the Russian intelligence apparatus. Assange's second hand girl accompanying him to Russia is a tragic coincidence.

Ultimately this all comes down to trust. Who should I trust and why? I am amenable to your answer, but cautious of imparting trust to Snowden himself.

Ask HN: How to pre-screen candidates in the age of ChatGPT?
We used to send a sample coding exercise (just two lines to change in the code, should take a couple of minutes) prior to scheduling any interviews to avoid wasting our time. With ChatGPT there isn’t really any coding question we can ask.
To be clear, candidates could always cheat even before, but the interview started with the solution so if a candidate couldn’t explain what they did, little time would be wasted. ChatGPT will not only solve any problem but also explain the solution.

Once they have a relative, it isn't that difficult to narrow it down to Bob. Think about it, you went from 350 million possible candidates to maybe 50 or less.

Go to the relative and ask them if they have any relatives in or near state X or city Y. That should narrow it down to a handful. And also you can narrow further by gender. Once you find a relative, you can logarithmically cull the search space.
