If this is sarcastic and you mean the opposite, then I think that you don't have empathy for women receiving unwanted attention because you yourself never received unwanted attention and that is sad and I empathize with that feeling of sadness and shame. I think you should reconsider some parts of your belief system if it prompts such a thought that breaks through to be written in a comment for others to consume.

Are those numbers a sum of the total benefits or something? It seems insane that a campus security guard is making 170k.

There's no problem with plain language about rape or other topics on HN. Plain language is preferable.

The issue here is not whether people are allowed to use specific words, it's whether the story gratifies intellectual curiosity, as the site guidelines require for a story to be on topic (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). The community verdict, arrived at via the standard tug-of-war between upvotes and flags, is that it does not. Some users are unhappy with that and are seeing it not as a community verdict, but as suspicious behavior by the mods.

I think the solution is for us to explain what is happening, what users did and what we did, and what the underlying principles are. If past experience is any guide, this won't satisfy all of the suspicions, but it will help with some of them, and it will satisfy the bulk of the community, which is the most that can be hoped for.

Yeah I recently started using Bitwarden with passkeys on a handful of sites and the UX is very good.
Depends who you ask, but regardless, free speech protects you form the state, not form private companies
California has a problem with overly aggressive fire suppression over the last 100 years creating a buildup of extra-flammable burnable areas. Literally, you need to let a certain amount of burning go on, continuously over time, so that the burnable areas aren't over-fueled tinderboxes that get very hot, very fast.

Part of this is using controlled burns to mitigate the buildup, another thing that's been under-resourced in California.

I had a discussion at a B and B with a guy who flew F-16s in the USAF, then U2s once they were going to promote him out of flying. He'd just left the service and had retrained to fly Grumman water bombers for Calfire. The problem as I've described it is apparently well-known in the wildfire fighting community in Californa.
Lucky you, I got forced upgraded last year
I think it's available on Steam which would mean you could theoretically use it on Linux with Steam's Proton compatibility layer.
Hey there, do you have a source for the backyard? I'm not questioning it. I'd like to know the origin and what actually occurred in that yard to cause it.
The problem is not that the water bombers are retrofitted, the problem is that water is heavy, so you're up against the physics of flight. An aircraft loaded to its max weight with water (or water-like material like retardant) is going to look empty, visually. Even e.g. a cargo 747 has ~750 m3 (=~200k gal h2o) of cargo space, but 112000 kg (=~30k gal h2o) of payload, so one could only fill ~1/6 of the cargo volume with water.

A drone is up against the same physical constraints - water is heavy, and you need a lot of it to have a material impact on a fire, even one you've caught early.

I'm a uw cs student, it is made pretty clear that you're not supposed to trade spots or otherwise automate any part of the registration. Students typically know not to talk about this stuff.

While well-intentioned, if this was commonly used it would mess registration up even more by making the "constrained" classes valuable and would be filled up quickly by people who wouldn't take them.
1. Salesforce will continue to hire engineers

2. The productivity gains of 30% are probably overstated, in a likely effort to try and sell their AI products
Step 1: https://claude.ai

Step 2: Write out your description of the thing you want to the best of your ability but phrase it as "I would like X, could you please help me better define X by asking me a series of clarifying questions and probing areas of uncertainty."

Step 3: Once both Claude and you are satisfied that X is defined, say "Please go ahead and implement X."

Step 4a: If feature Y is incorrect, go to Step 2 and repeat the process for Y

Step 4b: If there is a bug, describe what happened and ask Claude to fix it.

That's the basics of it, should work most of the time.
Just a sales speech for Agentforce.
I love using McMaster’s website, and next day arrival has saved my butt a couple times.
salesforce will be around forever.

their purpose is to extract money. salespeople like to know that money is being spent on them because that's how they measure value, and will continue to demand salesforce for as long as it is expensive.
Crime is rampant, cut the police budget. I hear ya'.

You may want to check what the conditions are on transferring credit from other schools.. In some schools you only need a limited portion of credit from your own school and a sign off from an appropriate professor for equivalences.
I don't know if salesforce is a well run company today, but it was for a long time. The inertia that it's built up and the market leader position that it has means that, even if its glory days are past, it will be around for decades.
Thanks for flagging this! Fixed it. Can you please recheck?
I have a good paying job. But everyone is talking about “This one Trick” that will make as much as even an entry level CRUD developer.
Interesting. I graduated from the _other_ UW (University of Warsaw) and our uni has course-swapping capability built into the University Study Service System (USOS)[1].

FYI public university education is fully government-funded in Poland (i.e. it is free for students).

Sure, that's the first step.

But the next step was how society would change (or not), suddenly realizing that most people are simply not that virtuous. Certainly not as much as their previously perception-dominant "best face" made them seem to be.

Instead of accepting that, we seem to still be taking pot shots at leaders or prospective leaders for faults.

Or... maybe Trump's twice electability is an indicator that most people are willing to overlook things, now.
I don't know.

I knew that salaries at public universities are public in many states, so thought to google it -- but the details can vary.
I'm not informed on the specifics on these cases, but I generally view that (many/most) prisoners have a debt to society for breaking the social contract and serving the community by making it safer is a generally positive activity. I'm happy to adjust my opinion on this topic if provided evidence that inmate firefighters either are unsafe for the community or have worse outcomes than other inmates.
Yep, and just to drive home the point the official motto of the California Conservation Corps, which does a lot fire fighting and prevention in the state, is “Hard work, low pay, miserable conditions, and more.”[0]

I get that the motto is somewhat tongue in cheek but still, slave labor does tend to distort markets.

I am strongly of this view. ADHD seems like a maladaptation in modern times, but in the right context and the right environment it is a superpower. Until this realization a few yrs back (when I was in my early 40s), life was a struggle. Now that I’m aware, it’s less painful.

“Deficit” is context dependent.

The way that the leadership will make it right in the end is VIA YOUR LAWYER.

Without a lawyer they have no reason to do anything. You paid a lot to graduate, it is nothing short of foolish to squander that investment by forgoing legal representation while they try to extort you.

Don’t have any more unrecorded conversations with them. They are playing hardball and you are pretending that everything is a-ok, when it clearly isn’t.
Part of their sales drive. We are absolutely assaulted by their sales reps trying to sell agentforce. They wine and dine non-technical executives and push the "ai agents will do everything" story. He is just reinforcing this narrative. Nothing to see here.
Dunning-Kruger Effect is definitely strong with AI. If I own any of their stock I’d probably sell it now.
This looked a lot more like marketing than reality. If there was an article on 31 Dec 2025 that said 'Salesforce didn't hire any software engineers in 2025' I would probably have more interest in it.
Our company on Friday will be discussing the deletion of all META accounts. We're at the point where we no longer need them and it is a waste of resources, not to mention how horrible they've become.
Sure, but "most people" is a low bar : "most people" probably can't even afford a computer with a dedicated graphics card either : the median per-capita household income is only $2,920 per year.

As for most people with a less than a decade old dedicated graphics card : I actually do believe that WiFi is a limiting factor for Internet speed.
It sounds like the actual demo site didn't actually interact with the registration system at all. He mentions "fake" classes. That's what he wanted the API token for; that would have allowed him to actually make the site function, and he (falsely) assumed that the documentation meant the university was open to the idea.

So while it sounds like his site would almost certainly wound up violating policy had it gone live _it never did so_. That's a pretty good reason for them to deny the API request (which seems like may have not been intended for the public anyway?) But it does not in any way seem to merit the threat of expulsion, or, even worse, the fact that (according to the student in an update), even though he immediately complied they still put a hold on his account anyways.

There is some nuance here for sure, but I do not see in any way that the universities response is proportional to what actually happened.
That is that capitalist dream—all sales, no production expenses.

It's often the opposite, where their conviction bars them from even applying for a job.
I really hate to be that guy but… the terms “East Coast” and “West Coast” synthesis are pretty mainstream within the synth community, especially among those who follow the history and styles of modular synthesis. These distinctions were popularized as a way to categorize the approaches of pioneers like Bob Moog, I’m sure you’ve heard of him. (East Coast) and Don Buchla (West Coast).

East Coast synthesis, often associated with subtractive synthesis, emphasizes traditional keyboard performance, harmonic richness, and filters to shape sound. Meanwhile, West Coast synthesis (credited to Buchla) leans more experimental, focusing on waveshaping, FM synthesis, and unconventional control interfaces.

The terms themselves have been around for decades and have become shorthand to describe these philosophies of synthesis design and architecture of synths. You might not hear them as much outside modular or academic circles, but they’re far from obscure.

Put in AI to justify saving on support staff. Then hire more people to convince customers the AI is actually just as good as speaking to a real human...

It feels like mixed messaging about whether AI is actually good.
This new development is practically a gift.

The last thing in the world you want at this point is to be getting into any big fights obviously, but wow did they just give you about 3 legs to stand on.
Unfortunately, you're not going to change any minds here. I've tried and failed to take this principled stand here, too. People (especially gamers) are willing to excuse anything game companies do as long as they at least say it's in service of "preventing cheating."

These rootkits are now considered the cost of admission to playing games, because gamers won't fight the practice, and they hate cheaters so much they are willing to accept anything.

Also consider: HN is full of software developers. If it's a choice between "What Software Developers Want To Do To Your Computer" and "What Users Want To Stop Them From Doing," HN commenters tend to be strongly on the side of the developers.

Renderling – Year in Review – 2024
Detection is not the issue, fires in populated (i.e. costly to burn) areas are dispatched very quickly. All the LA fires were on Watch Duty at 1-5 acres in size. The problem is fighting them at that size, when they're on vertiginous terrain, and winds keep conventional (i.e. manned) aircraft grounded.
This does sound like extortion, please don’t get pushed over!
Joe Biden did. He as a senator introduced the RAVE Act, which didn’t pass, but got built into a later bill that did, as a rider.

This made promoters criminally liable for drug offenses committed by people unrelated to them at their events. Then, it was selectively enforced against club drugs at electronic events and not cocaine at rock shows, and boom, no more raves in the US.
Weren't there several mass casualties at clubs? I wonder if those had an effect overall. Anecdotally, I remember after several of the movie theatre shootings in the US, my immediate peer group self included decided it just wasn't worth it. Only in the last year or so have I started coming back to theatres.
It seems reasonable to at least attempt to resolve the situation by emailing someone higher up than whichever random bureaucrat put a hold on his account before immediately jumping to hiring lawyers.
If I were on the Salesforce BoD I wouldn't be impressed.

Let's see Benioff put his money where his mouth is, replace some C-suite seats with AI agents. Those are the really expensive salaries, and if AI is as smart as he claims it's downright reckless and negligent not to do this.

The question is whether quality of life can be improved in the city with a better allocation of the $2 billion dollars.

Some should go to policing, yes, community policing should increase, working the stats should decrease, dedicated mental health professionals should be funded and replace a good number of police interactions, etc.

This is a large and complex topic that deserves better than ankle deep engagement.
Actually, they can't. Their job isn't to do whatever is on the description, their job is to give someone for their boss to have in his little fiefdom.

it maybe not, LLMs deliver clear value in coding tasks, but the thing is that competitors also will have gains, deliver more features, fixes and products.

Unrelated but similar story: my company (a Polish national CERT) published a technical blog post about how ad fraud proliferates on large online platforms, featuring Meta and Google [1]. Then a magic thing happened: facebook posts that linked to our publication started disappearing within a minute of publication. Including journalists and newspapers. Then posts about how the posts were removed started disappearing. Then facebook accounts - including journalists - writing about this were banned.

Sounds like a fairy tale, but it actually happened [2]. I suspect a human overreaction and then automated systems taking over. Anyway, eventually it was escalated really high up and resolved. I can't share any more details unfortunately, even though I'd like to write more about this.

I think the bi in bigeometic refers to how the domain and range are both made greometric? That corresponds to elasticity, but not the multiplicative derivation and integral in my examples. That (which is exactly the concepts from the paper I cited above) would be called by them the geometric calculus (mono, no bi) I think.

(I since did a larger edit which makes good use of that :).)
I don't know about other forums but I can tell you that Sam has had nothing to do with this on HN. I know that because I'm making the decisions and have had no interaction with Sam about it—or anyone else, for that matter, besides the commenters that I've replied to in these threads and an emailer I just spent the better part of an hour replying to.

The reason this story is getting flagged on HN (or censored, if you like - people mean whatever they want by that word) is that the community is rejecting it as off topic. Mods aren't deranking it.
To add my 2c here. Been riding mountain bikes for at least 20 years, and from 2014 more intensively. The latter on so called enduro, and a little bit of downhill bikes. Had some crashes, both low and high speed. Nothing that I couldn't immediately get up, brush off, and continue on my merry way. Maybe that day and day after I would be a bit sore/stiff, but nothing to write home about.

But almost 3 years ago, I got a back pain which wasn't passing and to make long story short, got into two spinal surgeries for herniated disc, the second being a fusion of two vertebras. I'm still recovering to this day, and unfortunately not riding my bikes, only a bike on a trainer.

My little pet theory is that people are still not aware that the sport is actually very dangerous. I'm not talking here about some extremes/professionals, I'm talking here about average Joe or his kid, who get a mountain bike and go ride (its a cool sport after all), crash here and there and don't end up in hospital necessarily. I think that the human body is quite resistant to impacts which are at low speed, as in =< running speed, and beyond that things start to break. Or at least break slowly (like a herniated disc). But mountain bikes of today very fast because they are made to be comfortable and stable, which makes crashing on the rough terrain much more dangerous than going slowly on a bike of even 10 years go as others noted in this thread.

So as the years go by, we start getting these kind of reports which may be flawed, but from my anecdata (and from the riding club I'm in), those injuries are certainly with us and making me seriously reconsider recommending faster mountain biking disciplines at all (enduro and downhill).
Problem with consistency is that people miss forest for the trees.

So lots of nitpicking on irrelevant stuff - keep files under 50 lines - that is silly consistency of little minds.
