This is exactly it, for me. Having grown up in farm country, I know that Monsanto is just one of many similar players in the game, yet only Monsanto gets the criticism. Apple bore the brunt of media narratives on Chinese working conditions, but a small amount of poking shows a whole host of tech companies with identical or worse practices.

It's a symbol of an entire industry, and the disconnect between the media narrative and the reality is large.

People are uncomfortable with how little they know about their food sources, just as they are uncomfortable about how technology is changing their lives. This sells a good story. There's some truth to parts of the narrative, but at the end of the day if there's a bunch of articles on that narrative, the most accurate one is not likely to be the most read, the most read will be the one with the largest reach by its headline hook and the one that prompts people to share it the most.

It's the same order of magnitude of work, as it is maintaining a fully-fledged browser. It's sad to see open-source projects shut down, but being a sole developer is a lot different than having the resources of a giant like Google, for example.

Ask HN: What are your impressions of the HoloLens so far?
Microsoft shipped out their HoloLens development kits within the past few weeks. If you happened to receive one: what has your experience with it been like? Information is relatively sparse online recently about the HoloLens, and I kind of expected more blogging to be done about user feedback and what kind of projects are being worked on, but for the most part there hasn't really been all that much posted.

I intend on doing a project with one in the next few months and I want to get other developers feedback on the device and kind of a general synopsis on the feelings regarding it, as the emulator can only give so much "immersion".

There also hasn't been much discussion about this device on HN (at least for a few months) and I'd like to know how developers feel about it: pros, cons, first impressions, etc.
Surprised the article didn't mention the movie "Yes Man" which was exactly this premise.

Monsanto has a legitimate tricky choice here.

One lobby group was very concerned about cross contamination, about GM seed escaping from GM farms and getting to other places.

Terminator genes help fix that.

And sterile crop isn't new thing from GM, it's common for hybrid crops to do this too.

In answer to your questions..

- Don't care what tech stack you've used

I would argue that most companies aren't too concerned about your tech-stack. You're applying to businesses with dev's who like you appreciate development skills are transferable to other stacks and languages.

HOWEVER, if you are one of 10 applicants, of which 2 just happen to have experience in their tech-stack, then they will get preference over you. This is a logical route for them to go down.

- Have a large enough tech team to tolerate a greater ramp-up time for new hires

If this was the case, they'd be looking for 'juniors'. If you're applying for anything other than that, assume that they don't have the capability to tolerate a slow learning curve.

- Worked on-and-off. I never had another job lined up when I left/laid off from the old one.

If I see a CV with noticeable gaps in employment, I will put it to the bottom of the pile. I suggest you fill in those gaps with something.. personal projects.. volunteering.. you must have been doing something other than looking for your next job?

- Years in the field mean less to them because they can just hire and place someone where it's appropriate

Again I think the majority of businesses don't care too much about years, as such. Context matters. Again, if you're one 10 applicants, and the other 9 have 5 more years than you, then they'll preference them.

Can I suggest you reconsider your approach to applying? 1000 applications in 3 years are almost 1 a day. That's crazy. Your CV must be all over the place, and that isn't always a good thing (for example, if you've adjusted it over time, it may look like you were lying before).

Have you considered sending a portfolio with your applications?
>Discussion != likes.

No, but they have in common that both != action.

>If someone twigs that they could cycle to work instead of driving - win.

I don't think those are actual wins. Those are empty feel good gestures when 350 million others will continue to just drive. Only coordinated action, and even better legislation, matters.

Careful there. In this domain, you need the measurement to be accurate every time, and especially on atypical days: that one time you run a marathon or get stuck in the elevator with no food.

I get scared thinking of training a glucose predictor on big data. It could reach treacherously high accuracy scores, by secretly assuming every day is an average day.

"You spend 8 hours a day working. Why would you want to be isolated from other people?"

So that you can get the work done and not have to think about it when you go socialising with people you actually choose to spend time with?

"As a kid you go to school you are around people."

....and for a lot of people that was the most frustrating, difficult time of their lives that they wish to avoid reliving. Personally, I can't stand office politics, find smalltalk very distracting when it's happening around me and would much rather avoid the 1 hour commute each way.

I can't work from home in my current position, sadly, but I'd jump at the chance to do so. If I found myself feeling isolated from people, it would be much preferable to go somewhere with my laptop for lunch rather than fighting over the microwaves in the office kitchen every day.

Have you tried city or utility jobs? They are not as sexy, but they have the potential to meet every one of your requirements.

Secondly, the way you talk about your abilities makes me want to shake you. You are no less capable than the next person. You're not going to be the next big developer evangelist or the founder of some amazing startup, but neither are 99% of the other people. HN is a concentration of successful, smart people. It can skew the way you view yourself so don't use this site as a barometer for your skills.

Also, you sound depressed and defeated and that is understandable after what seems like a constant onslaught of rejection, but the only way to change that is by building your own self worth and confidence in your skills. You can't expect an employer to meet you where you are so you have to meet them where they are. Find your passion in this field and run with it.

I have 13 years in the industry and I still feel like a fraud most days. That doesn't seem to go away.

Dutch government has explicitly funded quite some projects, e.g. libressl and libreoffice, but compared to budgets for closed source, it's still very little.

As to infrastructure work, easiest way to help and still profit is to hire one or more developers that explicitly work on a set of FOSS libraries. That way you have that knowledge in-house and a connection into the community. Also, you'll have some highly motivated employees.
Breaking up oligopolies via "antitrust"?
Moneyball is exactly right. We've got a situation in which everyone is chasing after the same guys. Meanwhile, most of these environments are pushing qualified people out and often they're leaving the tech workforce. Literally, you can get better people, for less money, if you can just make it a pleasant place to work if you're female, non-white or even just plain over 40.

I think the factor that made Threads so powerful, particularly if you saw it in the early 1980s, was that appreciating how close we were to that scenario actually happening.

The Road is, I would agree, rather more bleak but as the threat is rather ill-defined it doesn't quite have the same sense of dread, at least to me.

However, I was 18 when I saw Threads for the first time and it did rather leave a a mark, as did the related "QED: A Guide to Armageddon" which is a chilling look at the effects of a nuclear weapon on a large city.

The bit where the effects of the heat of a nuclear weapon are shown on meat in a butchers window (around 6:40) literally gave me nightmares.
Not only that, if you're downgraded and the policy is to refund the difference then you as a customer shouldn't have to ask for a refund, it should just happen. As a business, you literally could not get away with this kind of behaviour in Europe.
The RHEL web page is singularly unhelpful. Do they mean that is not affected if you update today and reboot, or that they have never shipped a kernel with the affected functionality enabled? I have a server with just over a year's uptime, so I need to know.

The debian web page at least lists the exact kernel version they ship where it is confirmed fixed.
United Airlines should go out of business
Trying to remember the last news story about someone being dragged out of a hotel room they've already checked into.
> ...not a pattern of behavior.

It's actually far worse than just a "pattern of behavior", it is how United and other airlines (mostly US, but rest of the world is catching on) have deliberately structured their enterprise and the entire customer experience.

Everything revolves around "privilege". Even 20 years ago, this used to be bad. On most European airlines' flights, you just waited at the gate until your flight was called, then got in line (with some minor prioritization) then flew.

Whenever I had the misfortune of flying United (an ever rarer occasion as I wizened up to the situation and later to "codeshare" flights), half the gate was at the counter, jockeying for perks and arguing status and privilege.

This has apparently now been codified with (last I checked) 6 separate cattle lanes for boarding. Also, when I was booked on United business (a mistake), the flight attendants apparently had to try to find certain "special" elite passengers and suck up to them, in order to get little "stars" on their cards. How utterly demeaning!

Again, the US has been on the frontier of this deplorable trend, but the rest of the world is catching up, with Heathrow being the first airport I've seen with separate security lines for first class passengers. Munich caught up a little later.

To me, it looks like the airlines in general (and it looks like United in particular) are so embedded in this completely artificial conception of segregating their passengers by privilege, that results like the ones we are seeing are not anomalies and not even outliers, but the logical and maybe even unescapable consequences.

Dear Airlines: I just want to get from A to B. I don't care the slightest bit about your weird privilege system, and your efforts of forcing me to care by making "non-privileged" travel hellish just make me consider alternatives including not flying, but certainly not flying with your airline.

Oh, and it doesn't have to be that way. Quite a few years ago I was on a multi-legged Star Alliance trip, with several legs across the US getting me from Maui to a Lufthansa flight out of JFK. The penultimate stopover was Chicago, but the United flight coming in to Chicago was late and the United flight leaving didn't wait for me. I tried the United counter, but for the longest time there was simply no-one there, and when someone showed up they told me it wasn't their problem. ??

Desperate, I searched a bit and found a Lufthansa hotline. After I told my sob-story, the operator said "Oh, you're in Chicago, why do you need to go to JFK? We have a flight leaving Chicago in 3 hours, let me just rebook you on that" Said, done. It was a normal economy ticket.

Service.

>stuff that is natural is time-tested

Unfortunately "time" doesn't test for cancerogenicity, as laypeople are terrible at inferring causality that may span months or years. Case in point [1]: several "herbal remedies" used in China for hundreds of years are linked to kidney failure and kidney cancer.

We don't know if something is dangerous until we deliberately and scientifically test it. Given that "non-natural" stuff (e.g. GMO) is thoroughly tested, I would expect that it's way safer than "natural" one that was never really tested.

The question is reversed: open source software _is_ a positive externality, but happened almost always _without_ any government involvement (save for some rare exceptions like SELinux).

This is probably the reason it worked so good.

So, do we necessarily need governments for other positive externalities in the list?
I genuinely can't tell if you're joking.

In case you're serious:

No, they will work on some legal dodge to avoid the liability. The company does not see it as a technical problem.
I can't speak for Rust, but for Go the answer is easy: Go programmers. That is, why implementing the full Go stack in Go was such an important step, there is little C left in the toolchain, and consequently, C programmers are not needed for most of the development.

Find out how many senior engineers are on that team and are participating in the oncall rotation that you will be a part of. Or, find out how many SDE IIs with 3+ years are on that team. If you don't have either, then you should be concerned.

Ask how long the various managers have been in that org/under the same senior manager/director. A manager who you like that gets along with senior leadership is super important.

Ask questions during your interview. If you interview for an org, you'll be working with most of those people. Most of them won't lie to you because you'll just leave asap or be pissed off that they were full of crap.

This is all much more difficult to do if you're external, once you're in, it becomes easier to figure out if you want to work somewhere. I'm not willing to even consider an internal transfer unless someone I know will vouch for it. Too many horrible teams and a bad manager can mean you need to find a new company.
