I think you're doing downvoted because you put words into the parent comments now that weren't there. They didn't say unions are useless. They said American unions are weak. The implications are very different.
Maybe not around here? But technocratic nationalism is certainly an unusual strain nationally, come on. We don't get to know his inner mind obviously, but whatever ideology runs through "socially conservative gay man" is likely to be rare.

Not in my Eu country. Where do you get your info and where specifically are you referring to?
I can choose to wait for an appointment or i can pay. Waiting involves non-life changing issues so the wait is based on severity.
My last referral was 'within 7 days', and i got seen (fairly serious).
Either, someone got bumped or there's enough flex in the system to handle surprises.

I'm surprised at how many Theil defenders there are in the ycombinator chat. We don't have to defend every VC bro just because we are on ycombinator...

Also, this is a pattern with the US law enforcement agencies for decades. If you read this article on Hank Asher you will probably get what I'm talking about: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/22/magazine/hank-asher-data....

I think it is concerning when law enforcement develops close, symbiotic relationships with wealthy business figures who have shady pasts. This can easily lead to conflicts of interest, lack of oversight, and preferential treatment.

And for those "libertarian" folk in the discussion, why do you care about Peter Theil so much? Why go to the chat section and defend him so ardently?

College, particularly elite colleges, are good for status signaling but not good for moving the needle on a person's life outcomes.

If you take someone bright enough to go to MIT and instead put them in a bog standard state school, they will tend to have the same life outcome as if they had gone to MIT.

My sneaking suspicion is they would have similar life outcomes if they never went to college at all. The obvious exception being careers with regulatory requirements that involve degrees.

Unions are a protection for both high performers and low performers.

I don't think they should offer protection for non-performers – outside of situations where a life event has mad a performer a non-performer for some reasonable amount of time.
Fed Beige Book – October 18, 2023
lmao, just saw this. Imagine defending a guy's tech literacy by pointing out that he wrote a basic threaded social website over 16 years ago that since has only seen minor tweaks to the CSS, and no added features, largely because it was developed using a variant of Lisp that went unmaintained in 2018.

Tech literacy is a moving target. If someone's skills and knowledge from 2007 haven't improved in 2023, then those out-of-date skills don't count towards literacy.

Given that his own website has remained misconfigured for years now, I think it's safe to say that PG didn't write HN website single-handedly, and certainly isn't responsible for maintaining it. It sounds like, as a billionaire, he just paid other people to do things for him. Anyone with money has that power, it's not that impressive.

Yeah, I know that this is YC site, that YC is very successful, and that PG was a founder. But I'm not a chump. I don't judge a billionaire with the circular logic most people in this forum employ, where being a billionaire is the default proof that a person is competent. I look at who that person is, what they say, and how they interact with technology as an individual. When I look at PG, I see a guy who knows a lot about finance and business administration, who has made a lot of money investing in tech, but I also see someone who is deeply disconnected from the real world, a person who follows capitalism as if it were a religion, and a person who, despite past talents, has not kept up to date with technology, and who outwardly demonstrates that incompetence in the things he says and writes, and how he personally interacts with technology.

Also, as someone who works in cybersecurity engineering, I know that when trying to figure out who your highest-risk users are, you just need to look at their worst behaviors. If PG's self-branded website is going to throw a huge red flag in my browser, then that website function as a huge red flag about PG. It it says "I couldn't figure out how to install a certificate, and I don't understand how important this is for security and trust in the tech world". Come to think of it, it's almost always the guys at the top of the hierarchy who end up at the top of my at-risk list, because they're the same guys who click through all the Phishing test emails I send them.

Is that the kind of guy I want to be listening to for inspiration? Absolutely not. I learned long ago that Capitalism is not a meritocracy, and that while you can benefit from kissing the asses of those at the top, you lose the plot if you try to emulate them, because most engineers are smarter than the Peter Principle men who hoisted each other to the top of the pyramid.

CEOs should admire engineers, engineers should not admire CEOs. If you want to be a CEO, stop coding, maybe get an MBA, and start your own company. If you want to make great tech, interact with C-Suite folks a little as you can, and focus on making good tech.

But once you start trying to be inspired by the C-Suite folks, you're going to end up adopting their values, and anyone who has worked at any tech company will tell you that their values are garbage.

For many small files the latency is more important than the bandwidth, given that most repositories are not short on bandwitdth.

Because they product product of which that CPU is a fundamental part of the supply chain.

So they have at least initial contract for supply before they even start designing this (mostly work station) products (which often involve e.g. custom motherboards).

I.e. not only are they buying before release, they _need_ supply guarantees long long before release.

The customer can't do that for multiple reasons.

- They haven't signed a NDA contract nor are they in direct contact with first party sells personal so when it's time to early order they don't even know it exist.

- They buy in quantities of 1,2 maybe 10 instead of multiples of thousands (initial charge) with follow up guarantees. E.g. if you look at server CPUs you will see 1kU prices, because this CPUs are sold only (by AMD or Intel directly) in multiples of 1000 units.

If you (or lets say a PC retailer) do buy multiple thousand thread ripper CPUs at once and are willing to enter a contract for this sells long before they are sold (which likely involves an initial % of the price as down payment) you probably could get them early one. Through you would still be competing with DELL and similar for limited supply so you might still have a hard time to get the very first charge. And you also might have some problem getting compatible motherboards as many ORMs produce their own.
There is an “eslint-recommended” rule set. (And a matching one for typescript-eslint).

I recommend those as they seem to be the least intrusive while giving a lot of sane defaults.
I agree with most of what you wrote, except:

> handful of channels broadcasting worthy and civilized

Maybe that's different for public TV (like BBC), but I found lot more interesting and civilized content on YT than in commercial TV. Commercial TV execs have this elitist notion that common people are stupid and are not interested in any sort of intellectual content.
This is not correct. The current UAW strike is to get back benefits the union voluntarily gave up during the 2008 recession because they wanted to keep the Big 3 alive. The union is absolutely willing to bargain in a way that is beneficial to both employees and the companies long term.

> Not really. The Democrats take deliberate action to cultivate and perpetuate that dysfunction for partisan advantage. They scream about the danger of "Ultra MAGA" Republicans while supporting those very same people in primaries, and they refuse to take very easy actions to stabilize the system (e.g. not siding with Matt Gaetz's antics). That shows they're not interested in "replac[ing] dysfunction with function" but rather with acquiring power.

We're going in circles here. "[The Democrats] acquiring power" in this case, IMO, is replacing function with dysfunction. And the Democrats were trying to stabilize the system. After Gaetz made the motion to vacate, there were active discussions happening between moderates from both sides to pass rule changes to go along with saving McCarthy's skin. McCarthy decided to blow that up by not waiting for that to play out before holding the vote. One of the very few things that I'm in wholehearted agreement with Matt Gaetz is that a clear majority of the House did not trust McCarthy's word, and rightfully so. The Democrats have no obligation to save someone that they don't trust on the assumption that the Republicans would be unable to agree amongst themselves on a replacement.

> And the idea that the Democrats are the only party "capable of governing," is just propaganda or marketing. If you think about it carefully, "governing" is subtly redefined as being in relative harmony with Democratic party priorities.

Thank you for reminding me to think about it carefully. Ok, I've thought about it carefully. When I speak of the capability of governing, I'm speaking pretty close to literally. When the Democrats are in power there is no risk of the government shutting down and there is no risk that making our debt payments will be used as a hostage to achieve policy goals.

No, they don't. The banks know perfectly well that this doesn't catch terrorists. But by law they are liable if a terrorist uses their services if they don't have a program to detect terrorists. A key-word match on Iran, bomb, ISIS, etc. is enough in the eyes of the regulator.

The more obviously bad a business idea the more likely they would get funded (as long as it wasn't blatantly harmful).

They get money, they support from relevantly qualified people that will try make it work etc.

I'd be a billionaire so its not like i would care if it's a loss.

I've been banned from Reddit several times for absolute b**** reasons. Most recently I was banned for report abuse. But it has an incredibly huge problem with a particular style of spam account that reposts old content on certain subreddits. I was reporting those and also commenting on threads as to why I was reporting them so that others could see it. Without any discussion, comment, or initial warning to say " hey stop using this report mechanism ", my year old account was banned outright.

So I created a new account, but I assume found out that despite posting pretty benign comments they were uncontroversial, that account got shadow banned. I'm not sure what mechanism i triggered.

So now I created another new account which seems to be functional for the moment. I think the lesson I should be taking away from this is that almost all of Reddit is absolute garbage, and I should only be going there for niche hobbies and professional support forums. Let the rest of that God forsaken site burn.

Anyway, I thought this was relevant because of the fact they didn't inform me of my sin before banning me.
skin in the game. They paid for the product, and if the company's still in business, didn't sue it or convince everyone else not to. A good review costs a restaurant critic nothing.

Nah I think they clearly hyper focused on the beer drinking aspect. My guess is that they consider not drinking a personality trait.

More specifically, it'd need to make it possible to contact humans with the authority to overturn the algorithmic decision.

Except human beings are not optimization machines and the best way to get great people to bring all of themselves to work is to allow them to be all of themselves at work.

The best and brightest have diverse interests and if they get bored they can just move on. The cost to the company to let them mess around with generative AI for a couple of weeks is far cheaper than having to replace them if they jump ship elsewhere.

Plus, this builds internal expertise with a new area of technology that may or may not end up relevant to their business in the future.

I'd say Vulkan is the best API that follows the Microsoft API design - the initialization process is always "fill out this struct and call vkCreateWhatever", and the struct fields are actually documented well, not "HANDLE handle - this is the handle".
And the reality today is that, if like a lot of people, you just have a W2 and maybe a 1099 or two, while the 1040 form is probably a bit intimidating, it's pretty straightforward if you're just taking the standard deduction as most people do since Trump era tax changes. Basically, if you're eligible for any of these direct-file arrangements, your taxes are pretty easy to file anyway.

I'm all for simplifying tax filing but if you're just filing basic taxes and are willing to forgo any deductions you may be eligible for such as energy efficiency, it's pretty straightforward.

Hi, author here.

Yes, you're right—there's POSIX somewhere along the line. Object storage is available on-cloud but it's also frequently used on-prem (e.g. within many companies, universities, research labs, etc). This object storage may run on Linux and make POSIX function calls and syscalls that perform erasure coding onto block storage, but it may not necessarily rely on a POSIX filesystem on the backend (in fact, in most cases, there is no filesystem at all).
By default, you're not required to publish your code to GitHub (although you can sync with a couple clicks). By you get a repo for you to work out of, which is hosted on CodeCrafters' git servers.
Except many of those systems are implemented on top of type 1 hypervisors, running either containers or minimal runtimes, and if there is any POSIX related APIs, it is only the minimal surface as required by ISO C and ISO C++ standards.

POSIX as defined is stuck in classical CLI and daemons, it hardly offers APIs for anything else.
