In regards to Qualcomm dominance, thankfully there is no total domination yet - especially in the lower/midrange segment, where there is MediaTek (heh, and MediaTek is the 4th largest IC designer worldwide).

And actually, I prefer MediaTek phones - you can root every single one of them and in contrast to other phone manufacturers, their preloader (first stage bootloader) even allows reading back the entire ROM. No restrictions. (For the interested, google for spFlashTool)

I know relating things is very natural, but I don't feel Facebook is the new AOL at all until they offer ISP and a web browser. That is what made AOL AOL. Facebook may be many peoples main destination, but it isn't how they connect to the internet, it isn't primarily a gateway to other sites. Facebook doesn't want you to leave Facebook at all.
It's about providing some defense against buggy and/or untrusted kernel driver modules maintained out-of-tree.

An exploit in your closed-source nvidia graphics driver should not get access to your private keys.

I did it at the beginning of the lockdown as well. The lockdown did help. After 2 or 3 days, I begin needing naps mid day. I was sleeping more than 12 hours each day. Then at 2 weeks things went back to normal.

However, after about 6-8 weeks of success I woke up feeling like crap and figured one coffee wouldn't hurt. It did. The next day I felt like I was pre-quitting.
This is one of my biggest gripes with GNOME, along with the incredibly stupid lack of thumbnails in the file browser.
I run http://iconverticons.com/ on the side, along with the development of the corresponding Mac and Windows apps.

The University that employs me as a day job requires that I disclose any additional sources of employment or potential conflicts of interest... by that logic, I think I am obligated to disclose it. I do go to great lengths to make sure that I'm not using any University resources, don't do any work on the project while I'm there, etc.

My direct supervisor has always known that I develop apps on the side, thinks it's cool and it's otherwise not a big deal at all.

I think it's all about how much time it is taking and how you portray it. Is it a side project/hobby that you happen to make money on, or is it a fast-paced startup that you're spending 60 additional hrs of week on? Also, do you expect to have to leave your position soon, or are you still in for the long haul with your day job?
Here's a YouTube channel for the Indian Institute of Technology. You can get a mostly complete engineering education up to the early graduate level by watching these videos and downloading problem/solution sets from MIT's OCW.

Then there's github. Portfolios > resumes and everyone knows it.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out where we're headed.
Some of it fits, but the Media Lab also wants cred in academia, and there's already some feeling that it's a little too commercialized/PR-based. Hiring someone from Silicon Valley angel-investing culture with no experience in research is not likely to push that perception in the right direction. A director not from the research world and without a PhD would also find it harder to get the professors and researchers in the lab to follow his direction.

Their main problem is that they really want Negroponte to run it again. ;-)
Nothing. I hate it.

If I may, a case study of how to make a shitty office:

* Find space based mainly on price. Who cares if it's nearly a different city from where your whole team lives?

* Don't worry about natural light (or even worse, due to whatever circumstances ensure that only some people get natural light)

* Take whatever furniture is lying around.

* Everyone gets the cheapest refurbed machine you can find. If it was good enough for some office worker in 2002, it's good enough for your dev team now!

* Don't get anymore space than you need. When a new hire arrives, they can set up their 'office' in the storage/server room.

* Some cheap-o phones and Skype over a residential-grade DSL line is all you need. It doesn't look bad at all if you start every conversation with "H-hello? Can you hear me? I'm using Skype and-- oh there you are"

"To hackers the recent contraction in civil liberties seems especially ominous. That must also mystify outsiders. Why should we care especially about civil liberties? Why programmers, more than dentists or salesmen or landscapers?

Let me put the case in terms a government official would appreciate. Civil liberties are not just an ornament, or a quaint American tradition. Civil liberties make countries rich. If you made a graph of GNP per capita vs. civil liberties, you'd notice a definite trend. Could civil liberties really be a cause, rather than just an effect? I think so. I think a society in which people can do and say what they want will also tend to be one in which the most efficient solutions win, rather than those sponsored by the most influential people. Authoritarian countries become corrupt; corrupt countries become poor; and poor countries are weak. It seems to me there is a Laffer curve for government power, just as for tax revenues. At least, it seems likely enough that it would be stupid to try the experiment and find out. Unlike high tax rates, you can't repeal totalitarianism if it turns out to be a mistake.

This is why hackers worry. The government spying on people doesn't literally make programmers write worse code. It just leads eventually to a world in which bad ideas win. And because this is so important to hackers, they're especially sensitive to it. They can sense totalitarianism approaching from a distance, as animals can sense an approaching thunderstorm.

It would be ironic if, as hackers fear, recent measures intended to protect national security and intellectual property turned out to be a missile aimed right at what makes America successful. But it would not be the first time that measures taken in an atmosphere of panic had the opposite of the intended effect."

- from pg's essay: The Word "Hacker".

It seems to me (as a non-American) that America's default response to terrorism is to deprive itself of ever-more civil liberties. This is why I believe some on HN deem TSA articles HN-worthy material.

Not that i read the article, but that title speaks to me in the regards obsessing about my work. Prior to working as a front end code guy I answered 100s of calls at the cable company. I worked hard to teach myself how to code and land the jobs I now qualify for. Though there are times when I let my mind wander and worry about if im doing a good job, oh no i messed up a few times im not going to have this job long and other pointless wanders of my mind. This all leads me to be stressed out and not enjoying life, thus I try not to even think too much just do in my current job(which i enjoy).

I didnt not have such worries and wanders of the mind when i worked at the cable company(i hated that job; mindless). There my mind wander in a imaginative way of finding greener pastures and how to get out and or try to make my mark on the world.
Maemo, so I assume Meego too, has strange caching / scheduler issues sometimes. It can work fine for a week, then suddenly after I try to unlock the keyboard it takes >10 seconds to start displaying anything, then I can see the unlock screen redrawing with each element moving in the correct place after a while... Then again a week of flawless behaviour. They seem to have multitasking scheduling problems in many places [1,2,others]. Still - the platform isn't bad.

So to answer the question - I honestly think it was that kind of a glitch. Also, keep in mind that meego on the mobile is not considered stable / usable yet - it was just a tech preview.

The causation could easily be in the opposite direction. People engaged in boring/unhappy activities are more likely to let their minds wander.
Sounds like James Cameron to me.
Maybe someone can answer this better than I, but does Steve Jobs name go on every Apple patent?
It seems to me mathematically certain that it will.

A week ago there were 170,000 cases, now there are 337,000.

337000*(337/170)^14.5 is roughly 7 billion.

14.5 weeks from now is July 1st.

So either it diminishes or it's over by July, guaranteed.

Thanks Aaron! We went through YC because of you. I wish you the best on your next adventure!
This service actually has pre-dated the HBO annoucement in the industry.

There will be lawsuits from big cable, they will lobby regulators to impose cable service fees into them.

Actually I'm not sure this will be the case. Right now Comcast knows they're treading very close to the anti-trust line. They're actually being very careful on the net-neutrality issue particularly with their acquisition of Time Warner still under scrutiny while letting DISH provide service over their wires may be a bitter pill it might be a necessary evil for them to deal with. Its actually very good timing on Dish's part to get this out there now when new regulations may be forced down Comcast's throat as part of their expanding empire.
It makes no sense at all if you think of an actual hologram, but makes perfect sense if you think of a Star Trek hologram. This is like a wearable holodeck. Just add a haptic body suit (no doubt in the works)!
Since I first came across Scratch, the programming language / environment produced by MIT, I've recommended it to a number of friends who wanted their kids to learn programming. It covers the basics of software development (conditionals, loops, etc.) using intuitive and attractive GUI elements which can be combined and manipulated to easily create interactive programs such as animations and games.

It also integrates well with the web (Scratch 2 programs can be created from within the browser) so it's very easy for users to show the results of their work to others.

It would be nice, but as we show the person twitter timeline we can't do that without you being logged in otherwise we can be out of quota (2000req/hour)
Reality Check: Windows not affordable for all, either! Which is the reason for piracy, of course, but Ballmer wouldn't know that, would he? ;)

If you follow the argument, Free (beer) wins. Take that, Ballmer.
I guess i should have said "like most people in our beta test". I have no statistical insight beyond that.
I find the conclusion of the talk hard to swallow: that these sort of interfaces will be common in the computer you buy 5 years from now.

Why? This goes against the current major trend in the industry: mobilisation / pocket-isation. It is inconceivable that our built environments will have the required sensors, projectors, etc. to enable these interfaces. Even more than that, our computing is becoming ever more mobile. Computing has to fit our environment, not the other way round.

Maybe this stuff is the future, but it's certainly not the near future and I didn't really see much value in the interfaces demoed.

Then again, the point of R&D is to discover what doesn't work as much as what does and you can't do that without realising your ideas.
If the Secret Service is relying on the EFF to figure out which printers don't have tracking dots then they might as well just give up and go home.
I grew up in Belmont (borders RWC and has an awful micro climate in the hills) and went to college in Santa Barbara. Santa Barbara's weather is even better than RWC. I suppose the city fathers never felt the need to advertise it.
I would imagine they already have a much more comprehensive list anyway.
Very neat, how are people finding your app? How did you promote it to begin with?
You remember when you attacked a stranger and suggested there was something fundamentally wrong with that person as a human because you didn't like their comment?

You might want to work on that. Self-awareness can be your next project!
I've worked regular 40 our weeks, 9/80s with every other Friday off, and 4/10s with every Friday off. So, 8, 9, and 10 hour shifts. I still want a 6 hour day, 30 hours a week for the same pay. Longer days just are not as productive for me - I do my best work in abut 6 hours, the rest just isn't as productive. I think I would actually be more creative with more freedom in my day.
That's apples and bananas. A more apt comparison would be: does your local newspaper HAVE to print anything you want on the front page? No? Then why should a social media site be forced to?

Facebook doesn't control whether you pick up the phone and call your friend to voice your opinion. Twitter can't prevent you from driving to your local bar and telling your drinking buddies what you think of the president. Then again, the bar owner can kick you out of his establishment if he disagrees with your thoughts and gets sick of listening to you.

Because again, your freedom of speech doesn't mean a business has to host you.
It's not surprising at all. Anyone who worked at Google or Facebook during the decade or so ca. 2005-2015 is aware of the degree to which these companies presented themselves as a totally new and different workplace than the typical corporate employer. Facebook even had a little red handbook that stated on its cover, "Facebook was not originally created to be a company." With on-site banking, laundry, car-washes, dentistry, hobby/interest clubs, etc. they provide a mixed, almost collegiate environment that blended the workplace with a community. Many people who worked at these places fell in love with their jobs, the companies made it easy to. To some degree, anyone who was super cynical about this would select themselves out of the hiring pool.

The writer joined out of college, and perhaps was a previous intern. Again, anyone familiar with the internship program at big tech companies knows how they aim to provide not just a mentored professional experience, but a social one including events with other interns and employees.
So, in other words, your company or at least your team has crappy processes. One of the silver linings of this past year is that things like running meeting docs have become even more of a thing. (They mostly already were because we're a very distributed company.)

ADDED: I get your preference but it really doesn't scale. How does that work once there are multiple offices, external agencies, people who need to travel a lot, etc.?
sounds a lot like Sheldrake's theory of 'physical habits' - he describes it as things being quite random the first time and becoming more likely to follow the same patterns the more often they're followed.
When you sign on at a FAANG - you get a sign on package. This includes stock grants that vest over time. After that time runs out, if they like you, they will promote you and give you a new batch of grants. If you don't think you are great, no promotion and no new stock grants. So while you are not demoted, your actual pay drops sometimes significantly.

There is a good reason for this. It allows them to drive increased turnover at higher levels in the org where it's normally hard to transition folks out. They just don't refresh equity or promote with a new equity grant.

Anyways, the poster did what anyone should do - quit and find somewhere else to work.
Yea I just finished with a "training" about D&I. I just don't get it. Those people who didn't care still won't care but they will be pissed too. It won't have an effect on those who cared.

At this point I think it is a necessity for most companies to do this shit though. I've heard stories about investors pulling their support because the company wasn't "diverse" enough. They are trying to force a solution for this Catch 22 and it isn't helping: you don't get more women into IT until IT becomes friendly for them. IT won't become friendly until there are more women in IT. (substitute women for whatever PC term you want to use)
If you have a history with multiple pages each with their own URI then it is not a SPA. SPA means "single page application".
Was this a production device? I don't recall it at all.
Apple isn’t perfect, no one is.

But it’s better than almost everyone else, including Boeing because it does one thing very well. It doesn’t ship products unless they meet a high bar. It never puts schedule first over product quality.

Example: original iPad was canceled by Steve Jobs because he didn’t think it was good enough. Instead he had the team enter the Apple phone competition, where it best out the iPod team with its design for the iPhone. Five years later they got to apply all their improvements to make and release a much better iPad.

Apple canceled their AirPower charging mat rather than release something that didn’t meet their standards, even after pre-announcing it.

When I ran an product development organization, I made it clear that QA wasn’t responsible for our schedules. Sure they needed to test well and quickly to ensure that Product Management had the necessary info to make good release decisions. But their job was journalistic, to fairly and honestly report all issues. It was up to the engineers to find ways to meet quality goals in our schedules.

Boeing had test pilots misleading regulators to hide known issues. That’s the exact opposite of a test Organisation should be run.
Stop going after people's livelihoods.
I totally read that context wrong. Serves me right for posting in a hurry. I must have mentally kludged both of your posts together. What I thought was being communicated was an assertion that people who do call out things in non-dismissable as nuttery ways outright are really just nutters trying to use politeness to avoid getting dismissed out of hand with the malicious intent to spread fear uncertainty, and disinformation.

With the kebashed context in mind, I think I was in a sense pointing out the perceived (on my part) dehumanization of the hypothetical speaker who could just genuinely be someone with concerns who simply desires additional scrutiny or scrutiny, closer to the topic at hand.

I apologize for the misunderstanding. Teaches me to post from the hip.
Thank you, much appreciated. Yes, there are proposals for native templating, but i suspect it will take some time to agree on such things. I opted for comments in the end mainly to support multiple top level nodes, but they also prove helpful for place-finding when inspecting the DOM.
I'm not sure the one who shot is from the same organization. He was wearing very different gear, and the rest of the police force was not cooperating with him.
It seems like the problem with Boeing is that they acquired a failing company (McDonnell-Douglas), but then kept all the executives and let them run Boeing, even though they'd just ruined the last company.

Maybe they preferred that over letting some pleb engineer into the executive aristocracy.
FWIW, I tried to sign up for Revolut in US and was not able to proceed because I'm a TN Visa holder, and they don't have an option to use foreign passport + I94 to verify status like every other bank I've signed up for does. Contacted support as well and they couldn't do anything about it.

Was a pretty disappointing experience for a supposedly forward-thinking bank.
I think the confusion here stems from the terms "annual run rate" and "annual recurring revenue" sharing the same acronym
>Perhaps you're right and this is a sign that democracy is fundamentally broken. If people aren't able to understand that many forms of election compromise (e.g. ballot stuffing) are indistinguishable from a normal election without properly respected controls and audits.

Maybe faith in the process should be shaken, but a volatile transition period isn't the time. I have full faith that the election process has a moderately low fraud rate, below any amount that would change the outcome. Even so, the peaceful transition of power is more important than any particular mechanism. If any of the parties involved would like to raise a court case actually alleging fraud (which is why the cases have been dismissed: because they failed to do so, and anything short of this would have no remedy), an investigation would be in order. But it appears that fifty-seven cases have been filed, finding 108 votes whose signatures were improperly validated.

So what, exactly, is the problem here? It seems like you're raising concerns of things that could have happened, without any actual weight behind them that they did happen. It's meaningless.
PhantomJS is amazing. We use it to take screenshots of web sites on Neocities: https://neocities.org/browse
If you don't have any projects to show them, just don't talk about it unless they ask, instead talk about what you are going to build them. That has worked splendidly for me.

I honestly believe that most people don't at all care what you've done before if you just talk to them like you know what you are doing. When you see a job post asking for some feature, just tell them how you are planning on executing it.

Also always ask at least one question if you can. It means you've taken an interest and that you seem like you want to cover every base. (or so I choose to believe) That especially works on dating sites.

When I started out in August I had virtually nothing to show because while I had done plenty of programming before, I had never executed and polished a whole project. All my experience was stretched out across years of tinkering, school and reading.

Alternatively, if you want to build on real things you could send me an email as I get overloaded with work sometimes.
I find its better to not work for cheap, either charge full price or work for free, demonstrate your value or donate time, dont undervalue yourself.
I've been freelancing and doing contract work my entire career - nigh on 13 years now. There's a mass of things I could tell you, but I'll try be succinct and tell you what I think will be most valuable.

Technology doesn't pay the bills. Clean code, good architecture, solid frameworks - they count far, far less than you wish they did. As developers, we're systems oriented, looking for the ideal approach, the 'right' way. 90% of clients are more worried about the right shade of cornflower blue. Don't lose your idealism about making use of the right tech stack, and where pragmatic, don't miss an opportunity to explain why it's important.

But don't make the mistake of thinking that's what counts for clients. There will be exceptions, but generally the guy with the purse strings isn't technical, and is in no position to appraise your use of tech.

You need to practice business as much as you plan to demonstrate technical competence. Negotiation, selling, conflict resolution (it'll happen), knowing when to walk away (that too) and probably the hardest thing - embracing risk. Many chant the 'fail fast' mantra, but I'd rather point out that our caveman brains are badly suited to accepting that risk is vital. Cold calling is terrifying, as is naming a price, telling a client they're wrong, and so many parts of simply staying alive.

Otherwise, go make some luck.

I've been working at Google, and had a similar experience. But I do think in many cases you can actually do better. It's not that you're smarter than Amazon/Google/... engineers, it's that you're solving a problem that it's orders of magnitude easier.

Your start-up is probably not dealing with setting up & maintaining 200K servers as Amazon, so up to a limit you can actually be better going on your own.
