I'm confused here. Were the Singapore Airlines pilots unionized? If yes, was it illegal for them to strike? These types of "strong man" posts do so little for me. Zero useful context provided and lacking in any nuance.

For example, some light Googling tells me:

Mr Lee had in 1980 taken the pilots' union to task for staging an unofficial work-to-rule protest in November, to demand a 30 per cent basic pay...

To me, "work-to-rule protest" isn't illegal. Annoying, yes, but legal in most places. 30% increase in basic pay: Maybe their current pay was far too low? Again: No deeper info provided in your post.

I think Dodd-Frank addressed this, but maybe it was some legislation after. I think they made ACH details transferrable and padded payment windows iirc.

Yeah, definitely, but that's why they crank the interest rate through the ceiling. People that are cash heavy could come up quite a bit if left uninhibited. Of course, they can still do that, but not in a property acquisition kind of way.
Isn't this just a helpful tell though? If the interviewer isn't creative enough to speak off script in their field or the company doesn't allow a bit of flexibility in interviews what makes you think they would do interesting work?

Interviews where people just ask these filtering type questions signals to me that this is just another job. If you already have a job its not worth switching as it will just be more of the same. If I can't get into a some what interesting conversation with the interviewer and this is what the company has put forward as their representative, oh well. If my second call isn't with someone I would be working with or knowledgable in the field then whats the point of even talking to them. I interview quite a bit and the amount of phone calls some start-ups and companies want to have as part of the interview is insane. Most of the time the people doing the interviews would rather be doing something else.
Third party cookies were used without your opt in consent to create profiles based on your behavior by companies like LiveRamp or Oracle.

I don’t support dark UI patterns but privacy sandbox and Apple AppTrackingTransparency hurt advertisers, publishers, and ad platforms but improve consumers privacy. It is not a black and white situation given the monopolistic size of these two tech titans but their privacy solutions are based on aggregated and locally stored data vs cloud based covert 1:1 identifiers - which you couldn’t control.
What details do you think they needed to know, lol? Pence was going to take all of the official actions. The rioters just had to storm the capitol and delay the response long enough for team Trump to consolidate power, and maybe serve as a prop if Pence was asked to rationalize his decision. Trump's speech to rile up the mob and send them to the capitol building at the correct time was quite sufficient. That's how stay-in-power coups work. That's how they've always worked. The mobs never needed telepathic training before, why would they now?

There are at least two obvious alternatives to (fully) deepcloning.

First, many "everything must be immutable" libraries provide data structures that give operations that feel like mutations (but actually are not), and many of those can re-use all the old objects that are not mutated. This could save a lot, relative to full naive deepcopies. Or it could save very little, depending on what you're doing.

Second, if you have the ability, you can always mutate before recursion and then revert when the recursion finishes. This could potentially be very tricky, because it's not always easy to revert mutations. As such, it's not a good plan for a prototype, but if you can get it right, this could make your tree search wayyyyy faster.

The sad bit to me is doing all of these things to pad a college application rather than for interest or enjoyment. I actually enjoyed math team and continued math competitions in college.

As indicated, getting into Stanford still qualifies as winning the elite college admissions lottery, even if one might have preferred Princeton or MIT. (And Stanford likely provides some advantages as well.)

Most US airports are not located inside large cities. They are located 15-30km outside large cities. Normally, there is plenty of much cheaper suburban housing available.

Also, in your view, is 127k as a starting salary not enough for a "life and death responsibility job"? If no, are you willing to pay higher airfares to cover the cost? If yes, by how much in %?

I love these types of reactionary, emotional HN posts. This term: "life and death responsibility job": Do bus/train/truct drivers, crane operators, ER nurses/doctors, firefighters, police, military group troops qualify for that same phrase? I am sure all except medical doctors have a starting salary much, much lower than 127k.

I didn’t notice your edit earlier.

The issue with IE, besides the “don’t install Netscape” contracts, was that they undercut Netscape’s price by charging $0 which is impossible to compete with. Essentially dumping. I don’t think it being default was also an issue in the US case, but the 90s was a long time ago.

You’re 100% right about the power of defaults. That was a big issue in the EU which is why MS had to include the first-run browser picker. But I’m not in the EU and didn’t follow that case so unfortunately that tiny bit is all I know there.

We are all different. But I find working with Linux is a breeze. Yes, sometimes you have to futz with it. (‘Linux is free if your time is worthless')

But I find that, on average, I spend more time futzing with MacOS or Windows than I do with Linux. Therefore, not only do you pay Apple or MSFT handsomely for using MacOS or Windows, but you are throwing in your 'worthless' time as well.

Futzing with MacOS is particularly annoying because of Apple's habitual obfuscation policies where the use of BSD under the bonnet should make all tweaking stuff easier.

fwiw it came that the underlying insurance industry study here was based on the driving records of drivers (including drivers who have never been in a Tesla) who were shopping for insurance quotes for a new or upcoming Tesla purchase.

Useful anecdotal info: Most of the people I know who a) want Teslas, b) have the money, and c) haven’t bought yet, are just waiting to put a few more years on their current car so as to be wise their spending.

With that in mind, it’s clear what is going on. People who want a Tesla and who total their current car suddenly have the excuse they needed to pull the trigger. And surprise surprise, having just totaled a car (setting aside who is at fault), they have an accident on their record.

And that’s how you get skewed numbers. Because MANY people starting fresh with a new car want a Tesla. And some subset of those are only in their buying mode due to an accident.

As a paramedic who has been in hundreds of AFHs, definitely not automatic.

Many are run by families who made an investment in looking after grandma, ramps, etc. and realized they could make some more money by bringing in a few other people.

This tends to have polarizing results. Best case, they take care of and love the other residents like grandma. Worst case, the other residents are absolutely third class citizen who are subsidizing the family and grandma while hovering just this side of neglect.
Immunity from liability makes for a powerful incentive to get FDA approval.
I checked “ad topics” (I do this occasionally) and there are more topics, but they are still really generic and seem entirely harmless in my case. Yes, it’s personalization, but only barely.

On the other hand, website domain names are often very specialized, which means that “Site suggested ads” can be very specific. These are the ads that follow you around. So far I’ve just deleted one that annoyed me.

It seems pretty controllable.

Thunderf00t has made a brand on putting out anti-Musk videos of generally terrible accuracy; he is probably not someone you should be sourcing. He is just as harsh about SpaceX and has been for a long, long time. He's just as harsh on Tesla. I know of thorough debunks of his factual claims in the space sector, eg. ‘Phil Mason Does Not Understand Space’, and I've watched some of the SpaceX videos and think that undersells how bad they are.

Of course, reversed stupidity is not intelligence, this isn't evidence that hyperloop is good, just a suggestion to choose a better source for your arguments.
> if the large tech behemoths were broken down into smaller focused companies, they would create much more value for everyone.

Is this a “true right now” statement or a “true now and always” statement? I have a tough time seeing smaller, focused companies coming up with the original iPhone. And is there a good way all those small companies decide how to integrated their offerings? Xkcd’s “now there are 14 industry standards” comic comes to mind…
The worst discussions we have on Hacker News are around healthcare and medicine.

For some reason the community refuses to apply a high of research and rigor to this topic, as if it's lesser than the non-sense we call computer science.

This entire debate is comical, the medical community's approach has been, by it's own admission, to throw various stimulants at ADHD. Methylphenidate, L-Amphetamine, D-Amphetamine, Lisdexamfetamine, etc.

By in large, everyone on this thread is pretending like there is a treasure trove of research demonstrating the superiority of Adderall (a racemic mixture of L & D amphetamine) to Methylamphetamine.

And that's just not true at all, there is a paucity of research on the subject. Meth = Bad because of the Germans and street drug users (who smoke an uncontrolled amount).
I've never heard of this in financial services or network infrastructure. It doesn't even sound sensical; if your employer wants a secure LAN, they need to provide a device that treats your home network as a WAN (sort of like a travel router), and your work computer should be configured to only connect to that device. Otherwise you're probably on a network with e.g. TVs, which are definitely malicious.

Ouch those limitations though. Given the performance problems some of them sort of make sense I guess, but:

* adding "get by index" and "put by index" commands would significantly improve flexibility compared to only being able to access 3 elements of the stack (admittedly less useful given the limit of 8 total)

* if you perform a sort of pre-compilation pass to generate a sort of bytecode (even to just an array of functions, though I would also add an argument field since stack form sucks), and optimize constants like numbers, execution will be much faster.
The difference mostly goes away if I turn off "showdead" in my preferences.
Not really. Mainstream Android phones had high density OLED and LCD displays before iPhones.

For example, by the time of the iPhone 8's 326 PPI, LG had the G6 with a 564 PPI LCD.
I might be picturing this in my head differently to the way you meant it but… I am picturing cars on tracks similar to the carrera go slot cars which seem similar to trams and trains - which the reason they’re not everywhere is because it’s super insanely expensive to build and maintain the infrastructure of things like that. 1km of train track costs roughly $1B where I live.

Imagine the cost of trying to set up the infrastructure of that. Not saying it’s impossible or a dumb idea, but I don’t think many cities would be able to afford to create the infrastructure for that especially not for private use, and imagine the user charges to use that kind of infrastructure and the impacts on the entire system if something was to go wrong.

> The ones I've used are less granular than gas (which is essentially continuous) and latency is similar.

However, I find that gas has no granularity at the lowest settings. Induction has like 4 or 5 settings below the minimum setting of gas. This is really great for melting or softening things.

Maybe this is different on a professional gas stove, but I've never used one of those.

I was just like the last thing in the universe I want is for a company to exercise Apple like control over my car. And despite making no logical sense companies seem to be using EVs and self-driving as an excuse to create artificial lock-in and add even more data collection. New and "different" seems to mean you're allowed to break consumer expectations for the worse.
Because it would not necessarily be cheaper. The government can be incredibly wasteful and inefficient, especially when corruption is involved - and the money still comes from you! The fact that the costs are coming from your taxes and in the form of more expensive goods and services and decreases wages due to inflation makes the costs hidden, not lower.

I understand the point of view you're coming from but, from my point of view it goes against the idea behind having a web presence in the first place (which is likely because I'm stuck on that old romantic view of the web from 20 years ago when people shared information for reasons of passion rather than profit). It's also a bit like a EULA, it's not enforceable it's just game-theory-esque attempts at claiming more ground than that to which they're entitled.

The argument was that they were wearing the logos to support the other employees, and thus it was employment related. But another employee could make the same claim about a MAGA hat.

Counting my blessings, but I never had to replace any parts on them. They used boring SATA drives, which I had a few spares of even at the time.

The bigger issues were the noise and the heat and power consumption. Not only did they take upwards of a kilowatt of power each, but being Texas I also had to take into the account the increased cost of air conditioning.

I was only bitten by that one month where my power bill was like $150 more than usual, and from that point on I was vigilant about turning the servers off between uses.

The more I see how shitty developers are about recognizing prior art the more I realize why so many planners are shitty about recognizing prior art

Being intelligent yet humble isn't mutually exclusive, but I see a lot of elitism in that 'oh I have this concept which must be totally novel and I'm gonna implement it now' with engineering at large before we all start laughing at their inevitable failures from things they could have learned in the past. Crypto is cool, even cryptocurrency. 99.9% of people in the space though have no idea what they're doing with it. I still think it could be useful for voting and/or DNS for distributed consensus, the cryptocurrency aspect could be improved and already is a better backend imo than our batched out wire transfers with traditional banking (but it lags well behind credit cards or cash for point of sale transactions), and hell merkel trees are supremely useful already for supply chain or ex version control, but the hype and path of crypto currencies is an embarrassment in light of history.

Recent examples:

- mastodon and the fediverse in relation to the threads backlash

- cryptocurrency markets and the desire for regulation for when things go wrong (someone stole my coinz! My smart contract was exploited! My exchange was hacked! Fraud!)... Like it was speed running what the Netherlands+UK+us faced over 400 years in a period of 4 years
