There's people on the other end of these posts. People who are surprisingly unable to fight, run, or even go up a steep hill without nearly having a stroke.

Maybe someone should challenge them to be a more physical kind of test case, if they want to turn the world into Forensic Files.
Ooh, cool: mind if I ask how well the chainsaw works? Taken down any trees large enough to require proper notch/hinge cuts? A lot of the battery-electric chainsaws I've looked at in the past looked like glorified pruning saws, but this one looks like it could be better.
> how will my life be negatively impacted by this?

Your would-be future employers may reject you because of this data. Why hire someone with a higher risk of certain diseases or disables? It'd be illegal, but companies don't care about breaking the law if it's profitable and it'd basically take a whistleblower for anyone to know it happened. They certainly won't tell you that's why you weren't hired.

You could be denied housing or be targeted by extremists. More likely though, you'll be targeted by pharmaceutical companies. If the police didn't already have a copy of your DNA on file you might now have a place in every police line up, in any state in the US, for every crime committed where DNA evidence is collected. You could get wrongly flagged as a match through human error or statistics but either way it'll be on you to hire the lawyer who will have to prove your innocence.

We're moving toward a digital caste system (several really) where the data governments and corporations have on you will determine what you're allowed to do, how much you'll pay for things, and what opportunities you'll have. Every scrap of data you surrender will be used against you by anyone willing to pay for it, used in whatever way they think will benefit them, at any time, and you'll probably never even realize what happened. Just like right now, where companies don't tell you that they used your personal data to determine how long to leave you on hold. There's no telling what kinds of harms this could bring you, and there's no taking your data back to prevent any of it either.

I hope that data never comes back to haunt you. I'd sure hate to need to count on that never happening though.
Don’t call it multiplayer, call it multiuser or concurrent user. Player assumes it’s a game. It’s not a game. It’s very very real. We are the agents. Cool project. Collaboration is hard. Synchronicity even harder. This makes steel become butter.

Apparently Google provided police with IP addresses, but not names [1]. Assuming that Google did not provide any other account details, the usage of a VPN service or Tor might be able to protect users in similar cases.

Yeah, it's either crushing everyone with an invincible upgraded flagship, or mastering the delicate art of the Secret Spathi butt-torpedo strafing run and save-scumming whenever you accidentally lose your 1 Spathi ship.

I loved the melee mode in the original Star Control for the combat, and I love Star Control 2 for the exploration and the story.
Don’t worry about the price. It’s absolute crap. [At least PyCharm remote is and I believe it has the same underlying Jetbrains architecture]

Windows randomly quit, take forever to open, there are always indexing issues, etc. Locally everything is great, but remote is completely unstable.
If that’s the case, why do they pay so much?
You're looking at this backwards. It's a matter of protecting the vulnerable. But sure, let's pretend you're the one being disadvantaged by society.
I guess my response is "OK" ? Maybe this is surprising for some people, but... why would it be surprising? Data engineers are usually working in a few ways.

1. With in memory datasets using Python Notebooks

2. With big data storage systems like Hive

3. With something like Spark or maybe even Flink

All of these tools were built for people who, for the most part, only need to know Python and SQL. And they do a bunch of interesting stuff with those tools. Also, I guess maybe it's worth noting that under the hood the implementations are almost always C/C++.

I guess maybe someone could mistakenly think that this is a good thing? Or a bad thing? Is that the point? Sorry I don't have Twitter so I don't know if there are further replies clarifying this. I'm sort of at a loss for the point because this is not surprising at all but maybe this is targeting people really early on in their careers who aren't aware - that's sort of the problem with putting a Twitter post here, it feels like HN is not the right audience, but their followers may be really green and exactly the people who would not be aware.
Mainly because recessions start to pinch USA and in force in China. EU themselves start to see lacking of cheap energy is biting into their gdps.

This advice is absolutely on the spot for B2B Saas businesses. For B2C? not really.
Freedom is debatable. Too much of it and you just get overwhelmed with possibilities.

I'd submit that it's boredom plus constraints that equal creativity. You're forced to think around your obstacles.

It's why bands and authors suck once they make it big. Once they have tons of time and money, output suffers and they stop delivering. The threat of starvation no longer forces them to make something that works on their broken keyboard.
If only you hadn't worn that hoodie that made you look exactly like that guy that robbed that convenience store.

Honestly, some of these responses are so strange. It's like these people don't understand that they don't live completely by themselves and that the actions of other people affect them, regardless of what technology exists.
I've had a tan one since I was a kid. I know we had it by the late '80s, dunno exactly when my parents got it. It shows no signs of wearing out, at least 35 years and a bunch of moves (plus some hard use—it wasn't just a toy box when I was a kid, but a toy itself! And a table, and a chair...) later.

If the new ones are still made like that, I'd love a few more at that price. But I have a feeling the plastic's been CAD'd down to as thin as possible to meet some minimum spec, like with everything else.

[EDIT] Oh, mine's slightly different: the handles aren't a molded element of the outside, but holes through the box itself, with finger-shaped curves. They're great, very secure to hold, though that does mean small stuff can fall out, and they can be tricky if the thing's packed too full.

A long time ago I used to run a meetup group, the "Houston Recreational Computer Programming Group", which was almost but not quite entirely concerned with showing off useless fun software projects. Was a lot of fun, though I've moved away and I'm not sure the town I'm in now is large enough to muster such a group or if I have the energy to run such a group anymore.

One good thing (for me) about it was that once a month, I was forced to come up with some little project to show off, just in case nobody else brought anything to the table, the table wouldn't be empty (only happened a couple times in 2 years or so). One of those little projects[1] turned out really cool and I'm quite proud of it, and it's not entirely useless.

Tbh even if their right the confounding variable that they are maximizing revenue over customer satisfaction is likely to be problematic.

There are very few businesses that get away with this, of those - they are mostly entrenched monopolies that can get away with anything that doesn't cause regulatory reaction.

I've tried playing through it a couple times. I always get into a sort of permanent game over mode where the Ur-Quan have started to invade my airspace and I don't have ships capable of fighting them off because I've been gathering resources.

I do wish there was some way of turning off the in-game timer that triggers the invasion and let people progress at their own pace. I gather it was probably a "feature" at the time that the game story progresses whether you, the player, are progressing it or not...but it's hard to soldier on after the second or third restart and dozens of hours lost.
it's not impossible to do DNA sequencing in your garage- either by buying a sequencer on ebay, or implementing your own. However, most of the data you'd generate wouldn't be that useful, instead, I think you could make a spotted microarray, which was one of the early examples of DIY process automation in biology (around 2000), that could be turned to nefarious uses with much less time and capital.
Exactly.

I disagree with certain statements the article made. Null, the site's admin, didn't merely post the text and email conversation of the copyright claim, he also insults and mocks the person involved. Null also stated that "In
this specific instance, I will waive whatever safe harbor protections I have and personally burden liability for posting it." and later in the conversation he invited Greer to sue him after he refuses to take down the copyrighted material.

It's also worth noting that users of the site apparently doxxed the lawyer involved in this case.

Null is probably acting in bad faith. He has outright said he was ok with users posting stolen financial information, such as Social Security Numbers and Credit cards. Source: https://archive.is/0fOcS . There are many examples of private financial information being posted on the site.

I would describe them as operating with a paper thin layer of "plausible" deniability. Officially you aren't allowed to harass or interact with the targets. But posting their home address, stolen passwords, phone numbers, and information about relatives is all allowed. Obviously, if they didn't want their targets harassed, they wouldn't post that. Kiwifarms, now banned, official twitter page said their goal was “exploitation of the mentally handicapped for amusement purposes”. ( Source: https://archive.is/jYp5p ).

But even the rule against interacting with "lolcows" (called "cowtipping") is haphazardly enforced. For example, one user had sex with a "lolcow" and posted photos. The admin explicitly said they would allow the content to remain up and did not ban the user: https://archive.is/zYnpK#35%
I don't think a rise in mental illness is entirely attributable to lockdowns. There are several ways this pandemic can affect mental state, such as:

- COVID infection, virus messing with your brain

- Disappointment from believing COVID is man made (regardless of whether true or not)

- Death of someone close, remember that 1.1 million people have died from COVID in the United States alone

- Disappointment that the lack of care for the vulnerable exposed a survival of the fittest nonchalance where some of the most able among us couldn't be bothered to breathe through an n95 to avoid a however negligible chance of someone dying
Vehicle manufacturing isn't related to Amazon's business.

They wouldn't gain any strategic advantage over any of the competitors in their industry by owning a vehicle manufacturer.

The only value of EV delivery trucks for Amazon is helping their brand image and reducing their fuel and maintenance expenses. They can get that with any electric delivery truck manufacturer.

The only thing that owning Rivian would do is put pressure on their profits.
That's just gambling at a worse level than poker on such a short(no pun intended) timeframe.
> Ah, I never watched TOS much, I had some vague, and obviousoy wrong, memory aeound Picard's and Woef's involvement leading to a treaty between the Federation and the Klingons.

IIRC, and I'd have to research the details, but the existing Treaty of Alliance between the Federation and the Klingon Empire (something much later than the Khitomer Accords, back-figured from other references to be ca. 10-20 years pre-TNG, IIRC) and the need to save it was used as leverage to get Picard involved as Arbiter of the Succession, and so tied into that whole Picard/Worf storyline.
I don’t think so. Been living in Seattle for almost 8 years, spent a lot of time in CA and Oregon as well. The only time I ever heard word “petrol” was in british media.
I think the problem is that HIPAA is less strict than the zeitgeist believes. Makes perfect sense since your family doctor will have you sign an acknowledgement yearly. The reality is that health data is for sale from all kinds of vendors including pharmacies. As long as it’s “not identifiable” it’s fair game. My work health plan uses a separate “pharmacy benefit manager” to end run around the restrictions on what it can do with that data.
There's not much you can't do with Python and SQL for data engineering.
Netflix doesn't have many movies and any reasonable search interface would reveal this.
Hey, I found this out too. But I never did 23andme- my dad did, and he was the sperm donor.

Reverse cameras are mandatory in the US so they will have to have a screen.
This assumes that you're compressing IDs in batches. I'm sure that's a common situation, but I'm not sure why it's assumed to be the _default_ situation, nor am I sure why this is assumed to be the primary metric for IDs.
This fast. But given enough time life could evolve using other things than carbon, carbon is just way faster than anything else and would likely crowd out other contenders. But if for some reason a place is very low on carbon there is a chance for other chemistries to dominate even if their pathways are much slower than the ones in a carbon based environment.

It used to be that the thinking was that this was simply unlikely to the point of being impossible but since 2017 there has been some change in attitude towards especially the possibility of silicon based life.
The Apache stuff I learned like 20 years ago still works - especially for not-huge sites (<600RPS). Point being, once you get this sys-admin task done it's super repeatable (regardless of server). And from one, moving between isn't that hard either. Dozens of personal services can run on a $5/mo VPS. One I have now is nginx to SSL terminate to 8 backend docker-things
600 miles per tank is enviable! I’d love to not need to fuel up so much. What’s your actual milage?

I can't imagine a worse take. That's like saying Apple's problem is that they need to have more phone varieties like Android.

I have to join others in this thread to acknowledge the impact VB had on my life as well. My first paying gig was on a Visual Basic 6 codebase, good times and good money for a 14yo. Thanks!
This isn't interesting or new.

When Python and SQL support was added to Spark many years ago, Data Engineers quickly embraced it.

It's standard amongst all Data Science people that you know both. But the people who actually do well in the industry know a lot more such as what the underlying infrastructure e.g. JVM is doing. As well as some other languages like Scala or R for more specific tasks.

Data Engineers in particular are expected to take full ownership over performance and reliability as well. So more than a little bit of cross-over with DevOps and SRE.
Are you suggesting at some point in the US past there was more than a 2 party system? Can you be more specific?
I played the original game this was based on, and loved it. One of the best games ever made IMHO. I'm kinda glad this exists and has the kind of long-tail life most properties SHOULD be allowed to have.

Helps you not fall out of the chair when you doze off.
“gas” is ambiguous, especially when there are CNG vehicles on the road.
I like multiplayer because it connotes games and games have worked so hard at this and done so well. Our goal is to be as good as games.

But I get your argument too. Naming is hard.
No, Google actually runs a remote web IDE called Cider. The latest version is derived from VSCode.
In Canada banks do layoff. Such is the shitshow in the Canadian economy.
You can do anything in Python, and do it fast, as long as you don’t need it to actually run fast.

That is a completely acceptable scenario for a great deal of data analysis.
Trans people represent a fraction-of-a-percent of people in the total population. They are not “dominating” anyone. Trans people are ruining sports the same way Jewish people control the banking sector: they don’t.

You also completely overlooked FtM trans people in your concern-trolling piece there.
Very well articulated and agree.

It’s one of those things you eventually wish you had.

>I know data engineers who know just Python and SQL who make $500k at Netflix. You don’t need to know the high performance languages to make a killing as a data engineer!

This post's title is a little bit rage-bait without the last part.
Speaking of "relentless propaganda" (quoting the parent post), ever notice that every time the example used by pro-union folks is the Screen Actors' Guild or sports teams union? It's almost as if its a canned talking point.

You might also notice how none of these posters can point to any engineering unions (there's barely any in the US and it takes much more smarts to get an engineering degree than become a coder) or have the guts to use technical workers' unions like the Communications Workers of America as their example? Think very hard about why that is.
Cult of personality is real
I haven't had a programming experience that was as pleasurable as visual VB. Thank you for your contribution.
They are a tiny minority. It makes no sense for them to have any influence whatsoever.

They are not really the problem. The problem is that your institutions offer no mechanism for a majority that agrees on a particular course of action to actually make it happen. Silly partisanship trumps running the country.

Perhaps you need to consider secret ballots in your legislature. That would eliminate partisanship in a trice.
I don’t use streaming services, so i might be misunderstanding: why is A-Z listing and Originals filtering needed? is new content discovery actually a major use of netflix? i was under the impression most people would just search for what they want
While it is true there are many factors outside of our control I'm still going to prepare the best I can for the factors that are in my control. FAANG salaries allow someone to retire decades earlier which is the significant amount of time

Pathetic. Cited references with evidence and nobody even wants to look. Climate is incredibly complex. Stop looking at this whole issue one dimensionally.

I can’t imagine how you’d all react to my Native American friends who are all talking about a coming ice age. They think the opposite is about to happen.
I'm not sure that "But our users would be upset if they saw how little their money was getting them" is a valid justification for failing to provide what your users want while actively annoying them in the process.

Netflix was hurt bad by the rise of steaming services owned by networks and content producers, but that's no reason to take it out on us paying customers. You'd think having the competition would cause them strive for better customer service and a better product.
> Maybe there's some hidden point you're trying to make by associating these concepts but it'd be easier if you said it plainly.

I'm sorry, I thought it was obvious.

As "proprietary software" and "closed source" refer to the same it wouldn't be logical to use the opposite "open source" to refer to "proprietary software".

People don't have to be exact in their language, the point is for the other to understand what you mean.

I consider it the most polite and the most constructive to use the definition from the believers themselves.

Academic, as in relating to education and scholarship. Anarchy, as in without Archons. Archons, as in leaders of ancient Greek city-states. Let the communist define what it is, let the socialist, let the Jew, let the ufologist etc

There is the Open Source Initiative, the page starts with what they consider Open Source. https://opensource.org/osd/

Besides practicality the website also states: Never use or register any trademarks that are confusingly similar to, or a play on, the OSI or OSI Logo. An example of unacceptable is given: "Open Source Project"
It's data. I won't say the tooling is irrelevant, but surely the important thing is understanding the domain and the finer points of statistical reasoning that regular people so often get wrong. I'm sure there are cryptographers who can't code their way out of a paper bag but are one of 50 people on the planet who actually understand how elliptic curves work. My wife is pretty invaluable at her job even though she's asking me dumb newb tech questions all the time because of her background in electrical engineering. Someone needs to check the 25 year-old hotshots who come in knowing all the hottest JS frameworks but don't get why it makes no sense to just take the user options for tasking an electro-optical satellite and port them over exactly to a SAR platform. You can type check to perfection, but if your type doesn't accurately model the thing in the world you're trying to represent, no compiler can tell you that. You have to actually know something about the world outside of software.
Seeing everything as a new startup or money maker is so unhealthy. There is a whole world to live in and explore and chasing money will never help you find it.

Extremophiles are real world examples of the kind of life that still has some commonality with the rest of us and yet they are already skirting the edges of what's possible and they thrive in what wouldn't even begin to qualify as livable circumstances for others.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremophile

They're not going to start a Venusian equivalent of the royal society but they are life and I think it is important to note the fact that life doesn't necessarily have to be intelligent or even multi-cellular to be just as real as we are. And the thresholds for 'life' are probably a lot lower than for 'intelligent life'.
