In my personal environment I have many people that don't live in the city they work in, for various reasons.
They do, however, live in the range of like 1h-1.5h away. 1.5h on a daily level, speaking from experience, can really make or break a (family) life.

I'm all with you. They wanted us to go to university. They wanted both partners to have jobs to support a family. Now they want to force those workers to live close to work (for the most part so management can watch butts-in-chairs) again.

This can only be prevented if employees stand and fight together.
Yes. My understanding is that the original album was released as an album but was originally intended to be the soundtrack for the movie - the movie itself was not meant to have any human dialog, just the music. For whatever reason they never made that version but instead included the historically very interesting radio comms and people talking. No critique of what they did - just would like to see the (never made?) movie with just the music.

It's obviously looney tunes because many of the overall costs - insurance, noise pollution, car depreciation, the societal cost of road building and maintenance, etc. - also apply to electric vehicles.
> They don't have all the data.

For nearly all people, they do.

They do know your investment earnings (brokerages report that) and your mortgage interest (loan companies report that) and your kids.

That covers, just about everyone.

Sure, a few people have personal businesses and rent incomes and all kinds of complex things. So the rational thing to do is build an automated system that covers the needs of 99+% of people, and for the few ones that it doesn't work, let them opt out and do a traditional tax return filing.
Ask HN: Which of the below AVs is the lesser poison?
I need to install an AV or won't be able to connect to my work Wifi. I'm not a fan of anti-virus and think for the most part they just take resources and data. But I got no choice now and have to choose one from the list. Looking for the one least resource intensive. Ideally, I want it to do as little as possible, even if I have to pay for it.

They are well-known pirate groups, yes.
It started there initially because a bunch of hackers wanted to hang out together and the cheapest way to do that was to all fly in the Vegas in August. It’s tradition but also still somewhat true for the reasons you articulate.

I think the flawed assumption there is thinking management is there for the good of the company. In my experience, much of the time management is there for the good of itself, and when it’s good for the company it’s mostly a byproduct. Just like how we use yeast to make bread and beer.
Speed of sound is not affected by pressure, only by temperature. It’s still variably with altitude though because the temperature is dependent on altitude in the atmosphere.
It wasn't the only way out.

We were the ones that backed them into a corner with the "unconditional" qualification while behind closed doors it really wasn't unconditional - so why not just make that public? That America would accept a non-unconditonal surrender?

Or did we not want to embarrass Roosevelt and Churchill?

If we were willing to make concessions and allow the Emperor to remain in position, why not just disclose this?

I think the #1 competitor to netflix is not piracy but short video platforms: youtube, tiktok and instagram really.

A lot of people I know would rather spend 2 hours scrolling short videos of these social medias than have to decide on a show to watch. People have come at a level of lazyness they don't decide what to do and would rather have apps feeding them with stuff to watch they didn't even ask for. And despite removing accounts of all social medias I still get trapped sometimes. A few days ago I was looking for some youtube videos to diy something. When I got the information I needed I ended up watching a nearly 2h video of fails on youtube instead of doing the actual thing I just learned about.
Take sleep tracking: I tried and failed to note those times when I wake up. I'm usually too foggy to remember, and later in the day, it's too much effort to reverse the times out of environmental cues. Obviously, I don't have a consistent sleep schedule - otherwise, I wouldn't care about tracking it in the first place. And, of course, manual tracking doesn't work when I wake up in the middle of the night and go back to sleep an hour later, because half the time I don't remember it happened until next afternoon. However, my smartwatch is able to record all that for me, with 95+% accuracy, which over the past year or two gave me some important data to contextualize my day-to-day energy levels.

Or take pressure monitoring. My whole life, I've been suffering from acute chronic cannot-form-a-habit-to-save-my-life-itis, (now also known as "treatment-resistant part of my ADHD"). There's no way in hell I can stick to daily (or worse, less frequent) measurements using cuff-style upper arm monitor. It may be portable, battery-powered, trivial to use, but it's still too much of a hassle. What I can do is use it to recalibrate my smartwatch every couple weeks, and use that to take measurements - I still can't form a habit, but at least something I can do within couple seconds of remembering it. So, thanks to the watch, I get some data, where otherwise I'd have none, and that's all because of convenience factor.

Or just look at the popularity of fitness bands and watches. Some people derive value from those automatic measurements. Of those people, many (most) wouldn't otherwise bother if they had to use a stopwatch and a notebook instead.
The fact that it only kind of sort of incidentally works some times shows clearly that people who consider PyTorch a vital library for their work aren't the target audience for poetry. Another use case they don't really care about are people for whom compiling C++ etc. is important part of their build process.

Poetry is great if you're developing the sort of software that the poetry devs priorities, but since poetry is only targeting a subset of the python community it will never be a good default tool for all python development, and thus the fragmentation continues.
> The IRS doesn't have everything, it has about 90% of what the average person needs to file taxes.

Well, not quite. The IRS knows 100% of what the average person is going to put in their tax return. So just automate that.

There is a small percentage of people with more complex tax situations. Yes, they will need to file a tax return. Percentage-wise, it is very few people.
Words have meaning. You can make up your own definition, but don't expect people to go along with it.

Caesars was hacked by the same attackers that pwned Okta, and used the stolen keys and tokens to get into Caesars. It was nothing carried out by Defcon in any way.

Anyone that takes this scene seriously knows Defcon is the place to be. Blackhat is a overpriced vendor circle jerk. The only way to make Blackhat relevant again is to kick out all of the vendors and if you can't do that, forbid them from collecting peoples information.

This is going to be my 11th year at Defcon this year. I snuck into a couple of blackhats and didn't get any value from them. I've been around the block a few times.
I live in an area where people will talk to you as you're walking by. In my experience, no, the median person is not Disturbed, obsessed with politics, belligerent or filming.

I do agree that the last point is true - but see OP's message. I don't want to talk to you in the grocery store. If I'm standing there with Earbuds in, and you make Smalltalk with me, don't be surprised if I totally blank you or seen confused.
Which is stupid because Caesars breach was directly tied to Okta's breach.
Running Linux on a headless server or a completely custom hardware stack was always possible (for some version of possible). It was the very specific use case of Linux on PC as a PC/workstation that was problematic. It sucked in '04. It sucks a lot less now.

People who aren't interested in computing still aren't interested in computing. But, unlike back then, more people can realistically choose to do it if they want to. That's a good thing.
This is an interesting perspective. Out of curiosity, are you describing some profession other than software engineering?

At least in the context of SWE, I think all of those points are exactly the opposite:

> Top performers need less management.

Any halfway-competent engineering manager knows she should spend more of her time with her top people, because anything she can do to improve their performance is that much more impactful for the business.

> Top-performers may be competing for your management job.

SWE at the higher-levels tends to be "dual track" (and frankly this is a model that should be applied to more professions). A strong IC is better off being given more breadth/depth for their IC impact, rather than being forced into management -- and that's usually what they prefer, too.

> Top performers are more likely to annoy colleagues and/or make them feel threatened.

What a horrifyingly insecure company culture that must be.
Yandex was there for many years now. Its just that now this is "european" Yandex and in Russia there is a "Moscow Yandex".

Also - search tech will remain in Moscow. EU Yandex is mainly about cloud solutions, self-driving cars etc.
More like Alphabet selling off its Google and downscaling two orders of magnitude.

Don't think it will get the cash, it probably has obligations for almost every cent, so this would be a virtual deal mostly.
Why are folks still writing these articles? Everybody knows this.

Companies can no longer shocked-pikachu their way through this. If you enforce RTO, your top performers (who are top performers wherever they are) will leave for somewhere that allows them to maintain a decent work-life balance and no commute to a soulless office.
I'm still 'taping' shows when I DVR and nobody can tell me otherwise

Some people just have good taste. You apparently are not one. Do you look at an Escher piece and think what's so fascinating too?
It's called being mutually intelligible, which is when languages share enough words/sentence structure that you can understand the meaning of a sentence even if you can't directly translate it.

In some places I've seen the return to office mandate issued, with management knowing it would cause people to leave, which they were fine with. It's sometimes a cheaper form of cost cutting without redundancy pay.
> Asking the IRS to do your taxes is like asking the fox how to guard your henhouse.

Remember, the IRS is already computing your taxes behind the scenes based on all the information they have.

If you report an answer different from what they computed, you get audited.
You're over-estimating how many people actually "surf" the net. I'd wager most of HN knows Yandex, but you're average, non-tech industry, person in NA has essentially no need or situation when they would run into Yandex (aside from streaming, even then they probably aren't explicitly going to the yandex url). You would see the same case for a Chinese search engine.

People in general spend a remarkable amount of time visiting the same 3-4 websites over and over and some apps.
A 5-year contract starting at DC 27 would hold thru DC 31, so DC 32 fits the "not renewing" hypothesis.

Good news! It doesn't seem to be a project handled by him alone. I don't pay much attention to Blow or his company, but the few times I've watched videos where he does go over progress of the language, he often talks about compiler work other people in the company are doing, and even about hiring people specifically to work only on some part of the compiler.

> Imagine how much innovation we would have missed out on if we demanded perfection from every product over the last 60 years

Very ironic to have such a take when the very industry brought up is arguably the one that brought the most innovation of the post-war era. From metal alloys to electronics, plastics, composits, wireless transmission, precision machining, quality standards and traceability.
Funny, I did pretty much the same journey when I was young. As I grew older, I became disenchanted and eventually journeyed all the way back.

There are questions about conscience, the origin of the universe, the ultimate nature of reality, etc. that we haven't answered yet and perhaps never will. We have theories and we have models. We don't know which theories are correct yet and, if we eventually find a model that seems to work, we might not even be sure if it reflects reality or simply predicts it (like Newton's equations).

Furthermore, not all questions can be answered in this way. Every ethics system is grounded on metaphysics in one way or another: on concepts which are completely human-made, culturally-dependent, non-observable. Even the most Darwinian doctrines do this: genes don't actually "want" to be preserved and passed on, any more than rocks "want" to fall. Religions are simply more explicit about this than other belief systems.

Finally, it certainly doesn't help Dawkins and his followers that, despite claiming to be on the side of reason and truth, systematically let their judgements be influenced by their prejudices and preconceived notions. A more informed and grounded view of history would understand that a notion of the transcendent and the divine was the foundation for much of the progress of humanity.
Absolutely, I'm already seeing some chatter from groups that want to get "even" with Caesars for displacing a 25 year tradition for strategy. I hope they have some good defenses installed now that you've pissed off no less than 10k infosec people.
Volozh could stay in Moscow and keep Yandex, though he was not acting CEO for some time.

But, he decided he prefers Israel (residing "behind the bump" in general sense). In modern political climate, you have to choose between having your pie and eating it.

Working in Singapore, I encounter this often (but in English). It took me a few months before I realised that I did not need to provide a detailed answer.
I'm surprised there's no widely-adopted library for general-purpose languages that handles user-friendly object input and outputs static config (perhaps in JSON) for machines to read. Instead, there are several DSLs that act as dynamic config, and even some that generate dynamic config, or something in the middle like k8s YAMLs.

Have I just not thought hard enough about this problem yet, and a DSL is really needed for it? Or should I go write that lib?
> Something huge […] will need to happen to buck the political zeitgeist.

The only thing that can do the job is the government making budget surpluses every OK economic year in order to repay for the debt from the crisis.

But:

- it's unrealistic to do it by reducing spendings because it would tank the economy very badly.

- it's not very realistic to rise tax rates either because:

1. If you rise them on the laypeople, you tank the economy as well.

2. If you rise them on businesses, they move away from the US or suffer from foreign competition.

3. And given the plutocratic nature of the US democracy, there's no way I imagine the government raising taxes on the oligarchs.

Anyway, the most realistic option would be 2., but it would need to keep raising tariffs and trade barriers in order to overcome the mobility and the foreign competition effects. But it's already triggering a come back of protectionism at a global scale, which is also likely to tank the economy, so it's not entirely trivial to do (and it also hurts the interests of a significant fraction of the oligarchy).
“16% less likely to want”

So a tiny effect, not even measured on what they do, but on how they feel.

Again, being a “top—performer” gives you very little negotiating power in itself.
Forex: Manual Trading vs Robot Trading: Which is Better?
In some industries companies are well aware of what others are doing such as 'cost saving' redundancies, or "adjusting" the wages of contractors, that always seem to happen at the same time. In this case a lot of companies and CEOs actually think 'it's what the other guy is doing as well' and 'it's good for the company'. Except it's not the same, and there is a competitive advantage of getting the best people from the other guy.

Companies that are doing this, are losing their best people, and their competitors are gaining them.

If remote work and 'the internet' didn't work, we wouldn't have nice things like Linux, Postgres and so on.
It's not really on poetry.

While this is on the one hand at least partially true, it is also the case that as long a poetry can't deal with these (and similar) cases then it cannot really be said to be a candidate for the 'default' dependency management tool. Having people say 'just use poetry' as the go to answer is very bad default advice as long as poetry will fail in a number of important cases.
> Yes, it’s very common. Immediately after doing it, in fact.

Do you not even make mental notes of permanent changes you've made to the system...?

I mean, I don't think you'd, say, turn off some crash protection and then later complain about crashes. You'd remember that you previously turned it off, wouldn't you?
