Well of course Binance going short on crypto is obviously more dubious than MMs going short on securities as those are regulated which makes it quite different.

Anyone care to tell me what I did wrong?

> Just because many companies behave poorly does not mean there is not a code of reciprocal obligation between workers and companies.

What code are you talking about? Either you're referring to worker protection laws or collective bargaining agreements. If you're not referring to either of those, you're just projecting personal expectations that no one meets.

> If a company lays someone off and gives them no severance, you would judge that company more harshly than if they had given them severance.

Your frowns don't pay a man's rent.

> Similarly (...)

There is absolutely no similarity. At all. If a worker gets fired, he loses his livelyhood. If an employee quits, a few employees have a to-do item in their task queue.

You're talking as if companies don't hire people dedicated to hiring and firing.
Thank you for your detailed answer.

In the 1990s there was only one string type - NUL-terminated characters. ;)

I keep reading about all the neat algorithms (and multi-threading) support in modern C++, but the complexity of the decades of history and the difference in mindset between {C, Python} and C++ have made me shy away.

I think I'll keep mum from a distance in future discussions until I decided to (re) take up the language seriously.
It can look incremental to the founder / dev, but can feel like 10x better for the customers.

I would say if the customers get access to the founders / devs directly, you are 90% ahead of the competitions who outsource support (who can't actually fix stuff and used to buy time) or use AI bot (same)
Again, this seems like confirmation bias. From the same tweet:

>I guess #Spain and #Italy should also be on extra alert.

He warned Spain and Italy, but not Morocco? Also for whatever reason he warned italy even though it's not a region marked by the map. Why?

Also, if you scroll through his timeline, it's littered with predictions that didn't come to pass:

SIBO/SIFO/Candidia/gut dysbiosis more broadly.
Most hardware companies operate this way: their devices are on fixed release schedules, and once they're done, they're "done." Virtual Flight was part of the release cycle for some drone or another (I think the FPV potato, if I recall correctly?) and now that it's done, there's nobody allocated to or tasked with fixing it.

So, software is treated the same way. Engineers copy and paste whatever stuck-together yarn ball of code off Gitee they need to produce an artifact which passes QA, then ship it.

The problem comes in when there's software that needs to live for a long time in the real world - Virtual Flight, for example, was broken by some Apple update or another, and their Fly app has to support a broad range of drones so it creaks under the weight of everything being pasted together.

IMO, almost all "hardware" companies trying to make software are the same way. From industrial controls to mobile phone vendors. If anything, DJI have gotten better in recent years about after-sales updates, fixes, and support than they used to be.
That’s exactly what Russia is trying to do to my people. Erase language, identity and such.
I've had a very good experience with DJI recently. On my DJI Mini 2 the IMU was malfunctioning and they repaired it for free (including shipping both ways), despite it being out of warranty.

I was able to buy DJI care after the repair which came in handy for my upcoming high risk flights ;-)
Ugh, that sucks. You have my sincere sympathy!
"Spend a penny" is a common euphemism in the UK for using a toilet precisely because that used to be a typical fee on a public one; well before my day though (and I'm middle-aged).

Free public ones do exist but they're not common (and the ones with a charge are a lot more than a penny).
There seems to be a maximum amount of reasoning llm’s can do per token (per unit of computation). If you prompt it to use more tokens before it outputs the final answer (think step by step, check your answer, …) it becomes smarter. People have lucked into different prompting strategies to get it to do this, but there probably are more.

Ultimately I feel it is fairer to benchmark llm’s by what they can be prompted into. After all, we let people carefully work through a problem during exams so it seems fair to hold llm’s to the same standard.
Why do you need to remove all of these from the environment?

As someone who lives in New York and has seen the episode you’re referring to, it is not embellished at all. New York might be the hardest city to find a public restroom that I have ever been in. Sometimes buying something isn’t even sufficient grounds for using a bathroom - a business might only have an “Employees Only” bathroom in the back.
That maybe due to US sanctions against DJI and they can't put apps in the play store. [1]

Node count driven infrastructure decisions make little sense.

A better approach is to translate business requirements to systems capabilities and evaluate which tool best satisfies those requirements given the other constraints within your organization.

Not sure about Canada, but I make way above the median in tech in California and I have zero interest in buying a home. Having a home would be a huge hassle when I look for new work every 3 or 4 years. The math shows a home in almost any area in the USA is only a financial benefit after 8 or more years of staying in that home (compared to an apartment), when taking closing costs, maintenance, large upfront interest, and other moving costs.
Life isn't fair, but we could do a lot better than imposing even more unfairness. Sexual harrassment and sexism, LGBT discrimination, racism, nepotism, etc. We're not quite living in a meritocracy.
Another "fun" thing: it is illegal in Russia for maps to show "wrong" borders and that, of course, includes the border with Ukraine. According to Russian constitution amendments of last year, the four regions of Ukraine and Crimea should be shown as part of Russia.

At least two of Russian mapping services, Yandex maps and 2gis, did the strangest thing last year: they stopped showing borders AT ALL. If you click on anything in one of the disputed regions, the address would not include a country either.
I think every country has recognized map of other countries. E.g. US has officially recognized borders of Ukraine.
I drive a top trim 2021 Mazda 6 and as far as I can tell it doesn't even have any sort of bidirectional data transmission outside of the standard Sirius XM traffic/weather/whatever systems. The internal GPS doesn't even work right since i declined to buy the $400 map pack (carplay is more than good enough for me). I haven't read any privacy policies yet, but my hunch is that there's nothing that bad in them, especially since I'm not even sure how they'd get the data off beyond a dealer service.

Yet Another C++ Coroutine Tutorial
I was always a Lego kid (and I dabble as an adult- those Mindstorms robotics sets are a hoot) so this was a fun read. I knew ABS was the main material they used, and the bendy Bionicle parts must have been made of something else, but I had no idea that the whole story was this complex. It's remarkable that they can manage such an enormous catalog of parts, while also handling all the fiddly variations in manufacturing processes for each material. Good stuff.
It should, but the mouth pieces have stuck with their spiel that their own policies can't be helped, are necessary, because of "labor shortages". In other words, horseshit. I think people at the top are positioning themselves because they made large investments and want their return, so the lobbying efforts are to stall the slowing rate of immigration, or anything else that would increase housing starts / availability.

McDonalds in the US 1000% does not have bathrooms available to non-customers. Was that a long time ago, or is that actually the policy in Canada today?
Making the Distribution, Part 1
Unfortunately that's not true. It is not easy even for strong programmers to polish up on Leetcode, find a new job, get a written job offer, have the new employer to file for an H1B transfer, and get an acknowledgement from USCIS all within the 60 day window. The 2021-2022 job market was an aberration where anyone with a pulse could find a programming job within a few weeks.

Even in the best case, as the 60 day deadline gets closer you also have to plan for the contingency and start planning how to uproot your life. Pack your belongings, sell your car, plan to take the kids out of school for at least the current school year. Even if you get the H1B approval a few days after you return to your home country, visa stamping can take months so you have to plan for an extended absence and the good possibility that you won't be able to return.

Sure we can say that this is exactly what H1B workers signed up for when they came to the US and it is true that no one goes into this blind. However it is not a pleasant situation to be in, and the fear of facing this, especially in the kind of job market we saw in 2023, takes its toll on families.

Morocco is quite poor in rural areas. You have to be able to fund a solid building and regulations help little with that. Otherwise you just create lots of corruption.
No, as these people who are part of the influx, once accepting the social contract, are no better or worse than anyone else who has agreed to the social contract, citizen or no.

Besides, all evidence suggests immigrants benefit a society substantially more than they harm it. In the US for example, noncitizens consume significantly fewer national resources while still paying the full amount of taxes expected of citizens.

I work in the broad "automotive" sector. After ISO-9000 and 14000 and SOX and all the emissions regulations and the emissions documentation regulations and all the other make-work-for-auditing-firms regulations and certifications, the latest craze sweeping the industry is "functional safety." It sounds all well and good, but the requirements to satisfy the certifications are yet another enormous amount of work on top of all the rest, and I fear that companies are yet again getting caught up in the stuff that can be easily audited, and will be "straining at gnats and swallowing camels" when it comes to actual device security. To wit: all the stories about how KIA's are trivial to break into and drive away come to mind.

When I was deploying swarm clusters I would have a default stack.yml file with portainer for admin, traefik for reverse-proxying, and prometheus, grafana, alertmanager, unsee, cadvisor, for monitoring and metrics gathering. All were running on their own docker network completely separated from the app and were only accessible by ops (and dev if requested, but not end users). It was quite easy to deploy with HEAT+ansible or terraform+ansible and the hard part was the ci/cd for every app each in its tenant, but it worked really really well.

These are more exceptions than rules. Rails, Laravel, and Django are the three massive frameworks that are languages themselves, so learning them as an introduction to their programming languages can be confusing for newcomers.

Too many people get hung up on the “house” being the thing rapidly appreciating when in areas like major Canadian metros it’s the _land_ sitting under the house that is becoming more and more valuable as the Canadian government is importing more and more full grown adults who need housing _today_ in those major metros.
Immigration remained mostly consistent and “definitely not ‘millions’” till last year when it hit 500,000 for some reason:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/443063/number-of-immigra...

The whole “millions of immigrants” is just a property of the recent alt-right attempt at a take over of HN.

Looking around, it appears that immigration rates were raised due to aging population issues. While other places around the world are looking at moving retirement to 75.

Crony capitalism is causing higher immigration, so it’s somewhat hilarious for these people to think that an even more crony party is going to help offset this.

I think the GP's question is more rhetorical, or, to put it as a non-rhetorical question:

I don't think there are very many people out there proposing eliminating police departments. Most calls are for reducing funding from the police to reduce their ability to cause harm, and spending more on other activities that are better at reducing crime. Broadly this is called "defunding the police," though I do understand why you dislike that label.

"Abolish the police" is a different, and I suspect much smaller, movement.
Windows was getting better until MS started preventing users from deleting files, even if they are the owner of the computer. Yes, it is a foot gun, but it also makes fixing problems difficult and sometimes even impossible. Windows 11 seemed pretty nice until my son had a problem installing a game and one of those "untouchable files" was the wrong version, so every 10 minutes or so you'd get an error message. We fixed it by re-imaging it with Debian and Steam.

The large companies just don’t account for very many homes. Once you control out for homes under construction, that just isn’t the issue. The issue is that we dramatically restrict how much housing anyone can build, specifically, upward.
This is very much a regional thing.

In most of the US, my experience has been that every gas station and every restaurant has a public restroom that's unlocked at all times. They're sometimes nasty, but always available, and even the ones that are nominally for customers only aren't regulated at all.

There are some places I've been that keep the restroom locked, but where I've been that's a sign that you're in a particularly sketchy neighborhood, not a regular thing. The first time I had a major problem finding a restroom at all was driving through Las Vegas a few years ago. I've only become aware that there are other places like that through articles like this on HN.
The political environment has associated that stance with right-wing Conservatism, and while that party does hold that belief, it's looked down upon by the Canadian centrists/left-wing parties. I'm not sure how to describe their solution to this issue, because I'm not sure there is a stated plan.
No, the bad results e.g. For shopping, terrible SEO sites, and other garbage... in front of the good ones.
I think the point is they shouldn't qualify. I don't consider MS to be a "FAANG" - I would agree too. Nothing about the company feels like the energy that the other companies bring. They're playing catch-up and while they're huge by market value and impact they're just riding that legacy and to me not really deserving of being part of the "cool kids club" which to me was where FAANG sprung from.
So I checked with Google One support, here is the answer from them: (and they were fine with me quoting them in a public forum)

I asked GPT-4 through both ChatGPT and the API and it responded correctly without any fiddling.

I keep seeing comments and posts on HN that significantly downplay GPT-4's capabilities. Are people actually using GPT-4 or are they using a 3rd party service that claims to be GPT-4?

>Sally has 3 brothers, and each of those brothers has 2 sisters. One of those sisters is Sally herself, and the other one is Sally's sister. So, Sally has 1 sister.
All three of those would prefer the cheapest, immediately replaceable option of off the shelf drives rather than small run, low availability drives. Even if the dollar per petabyte figure is lower, "we can't make that many" is a problem if you want to sell to AWS and friends. It's going to be a long time before these drives hit AWS scale, so they'll need to win over the much smaller fish first.

And of course these days with AWS, the other risk is Amazon going "yeah we're just going to literally steal your idea and make our own, and there's nothing you can do about it because no lawsuit you bring would fine us an amount we can't just write off as a business expense" if it'll save them enough money.
It didn't even really happen in FAANG. FAANG employees are still doing extremely well. FAANG companies are still holding onto tons of unproductive headcount which they would prefer to let go were it not for the employee backlash that'd follow. There are lots of people making lots of money who would be cut in any other competitive industry. I know because they're honest about it during their lunch hour. People read these stories about companies going about layoffs in a ham-fisted and counterproductive way, and jump to the conclusion that managements are all mustache-twirling robber barons whose main dream in life is to feed their employees into meat-grinders. The more conservative and reasonable conclusion to draw from the poor layoff execution is that FAANG management teams aren't very competent people managers, and are especially incompetent when it comes to layoffs, since they don't do them often.

> the SEC, FTC, etc get to play judge and prosecutor, so there are some definite conflicts of interest going on.

No, there's no conflict on interest here. They're a regulatory agency and their job is to regulate. Regulatory agencies don't treat everything like a court case and aren't supposed to. Kind of like how patent agencies will grant or reject patent applications but that's not them playing "judge and prosecutor", it's just them doing their job.

Conflicts of interest generally involve financial interest or similar, e.g. a judge making a ruling on a company while owning stock in that company.

There is no analagous conflict of interest here. This is just a regulatory agency doing its job.

The pie isn't fixed. I believe it will grow and there will be more for everyone if we allow everyone to thrive. New people create demand and maybe reverb start some new companies. Further, the labor could also happen entirely in another country which would be much worse for US workers.

IMO the biggest issue with H1B is that it restricts worker choice and thus creates a somewhat captive class of workers who can be paid less. The best way to solve this is to reduce constraints on H1B holders
