SGX, if they allow arbitrary code to be signed, is amazing. It enables remote trust. You could execute jobs "in the cloud" without anyone being able to see your data. You could write a known-correct coin tumbler or trading platform.

If it does only get locked to a few code authors, that would be a tremendous shame.
The way I see it, for a company as young and "hip" as most of these SV unicorns, they could've handled the consent thing in three ways:

1. Not say anything at all. Not exactly ideal.

2. Say it in a completely mature, serious way which most of the young hip employees would ignore after the first few words, because "Yeah yeah, don't rape, I already know all this."

3. Say it in a lighthearted way that has a better chance of maintaining the reader's interest, and actually be something they remember during the event.

To me, 3 sounds like the most effective option.

i find the reactions so intersting. a financial analyst no less who does a three month course to become a programmer. product managers who do the same. senior developer in a year.

in my country these people make so much more than programmers that they would never consider such steps. and senior generally means 5-10 years of experience.

Keep using email and open messaging formats, ideally tied to an ID you own. How many people actually have their own website? Probably a minority. Everyone has an email address. If this gets subsumed by FB Messenger, Slack, and Snap, we lose the open web.

Hey buliam,

I'd love to chat if you have a few minutes, email is in profile. I'm really asking though because I see a ton of opportunity in the form of abandoned side projects on HN. Connecting sales with product seems to be the differentiator with smaller side hustles, just as it is with many larger breakout products. Filling a niche and finding PMP is always the most important goal, but it doesn't help to have a little kickstart with a funnel full of users, especially when still working towards PMP.

Develop on Firefox, and then adjust for Chrome if needed. Encourage friends to use FF.
Google tracks every domain you visit and how long you visit it even with all the adblockers in the world (under the pretext that you might be searching for the domain instead of going there). You have no idea how much data they are collecting on every minute of your use (the local license in my non-U.S. version has some weird clauses, don't know about the U.S.) and all that info is damaging.
FF is now faster than Chrome on every metric, so you don't lose anything for yourself or your users when they switch (though it is wise to make a new profile if you have a old version)
If they are not targeted as the main platform, they will be gone.
By keeping another browser alive, Google cannot force all of their crazy ideas and dreams in the guise of forwarding the internet.
Develop for FF, encourage its use, and that definitely will help you and the free internet.

You could provide a one stop shop for sharing information with the people you care about that is easy enough to use that even people who are afraid of technology can handle it... also everyone they know needs to already be on it... but then you just created Facebook.

The ease of use is only one part of the problem, the other part is that you are trying to solve a problem that a lot of people who use Facebook just don't care about. Facebook fills their need and they really don't care about walled gardens or open internet or whatever else the HN crowd views as a dire issue.
Replace "that sells personal information to advertisers" with "that uses personal information to match consumers to advertisers".

Exactly. If this is the sort of behavior they have to warn against, the work environment is already toxic and needs fixing. Lose.

If this is the way they have to phrase it in order for the message to stick, they need to find employees who have been socialized to actually respect other humans. Lose.

I have an awesome therapist that I see on a regular basis. Much of the conversations range from your everyday emotional highs and lows to diving deeper into the neuroscience of behavior and activating memories. When you approach emotional experience with the full depth that your mind brings to it, you can begin to understand what drives you; but more importantly, at least for me, it creates a tremendous amount of grace and compassion towards how you treat yourself. It has taught me to allow myself to feel compassion for when I am angry, or sad, even overly optimistic and happy. But more importantly I understand the value of impermanence, and repairing and reconciling the issues (issues btw which can be positive experiences as well, not just negative experiences) we face with each other and ourselves.
Adafruit does have it tough; they try to bridge sites like Amazon and Digikey by having a very broad selection of products specific to electronics, but they don't actually have many parts in each of those categories. They focus more on supporting what they have with documentation and software and whatnot.

But sites like Digikey/Mouser/etc have searching down. If I want a capacitor, first I pick what kind (electrolytic, ceramic, tantalum, etc,) and then I am presented with dozens of menus representing specific attributes that I care about. Capacitance, temperature coefficient, size/pakaging, manufacturer- whatever you could possibly want to select on, you can.

Sometimes I wish that other digital distribution platforms would take inspiration from that 'catalog' model. Discovery is difficult, these days.

I think senior titles in general are given out too easily in the software industry. Compared to many other professions and industries, the idea of anyone -- bootcamp graduate or not -- being senior within 3 years is kind of laughable. That's not to say it doesn't happen in other professions, but it's often reserved for the truly exceptional -- being considered senior within a few years of starting your career is for the best of the best and isn't the "normal" path at all.

The original ARPANET was a proof of concept of a network which could withstand the failure multiple simultaneous nodes, that is, survive a nuclear strike. Whether knowing you have a robust command and control network makes you more or less likely to use your own nuclear weapons in a first strike is arguable. But it did guarantee a second strike would be possible (which if you believe MAD, made the world safer.) And robust second-strike capability, in the end, is about killing people.

It's missing the point entirely, their primary goal is to become better developer and to improve their C knowledge, hence the effort being mostly focused on reading and understanding a fair amount of code, including its context.

Ask HN: Show me the money – outside of Silicon Valley
Over the course of my career, I've bounced back and forth between being a programmer(did not find it satisfying professionally so now I work on hobby projects) and being sys-admin. As of late a lot of head hunters I speak to are absolutely adamant about me presenting myself with a DevOps title to attract more employers. They just want to slap that title in. I was under the impression that Devops is more a culture thing a role, but numerous times, I've had tons and tons of head hunters in my area (massachusetts-greater boston) that want me to purge the sys-admin away and replace it with devops. I've been in this market for about 6 years now and I understand that changing industries and toggling between being a developer & sys-admin probably won't help my pay go up. At this point I'm really trying to figure out how to cash in. I understand that getting a great offer is combination of experience + skill + marketability. Say I have the marketability part down, I'm seeing DevOps roles (where its titled like that explicitly) go for 200k+ here and there and my eyes are popping out of my socket. Does OPs have a hire ceiling then being a senior developer? I've seen posts on hacker news where folks mention that highly skilled engineers can even shoot for 250k-300k. For some time I figured it probably was just a silicon valley thing, but would you say this applies in my market and other areas in the U.S as well?

I love this idea in part because it's the very opposite of the way I tend to work, which is to drive very hard to get a surface understanding of a thing in order to make a very targeted change. I learn lots along the way with this approach, but don't often get the deep, wholistic understanding of existing systems that only comes with repeated exposure over a long time.

Some kinds of understanding involve a no shortcuts grind. That sort of a grind is a big commitment though.

When you take a very critical view of the law, not just as written, but how it works in practice, you see the same appear constantly throughout all parts of our system.

When you are charged with a crime, even if you can prove your innocence, generally your day to day life suffers great harm that can be considered a punishment for daring to do what ever got you charged with the crime in the first place. But for someone (or some entity) who has access to the best lawyers, their day to day lives suffer by only a faction.

An accused poor individual can easily lose access to their money flow (they are fired for being in jail waiting for bail). A rich individual does not lose their money and has lawyers to significantly reduce the wait time. They are also treated better in general because they have the power to cause harm to those enforcing/making the law if they want (donating to an opposing candidate, buying commercials, etc.).

It's where the "senior" distinction isn't very useful I think... It's very possible to be leading/running a team in three years in nearly any profession if you are good at what you are doing. Does that make you "senior"? In relation to the people below you, sure... But maybe just using "team lead" or something is more accurate.

There is a real use-case here that has become so widespread and common in the intelligence and law enforcement community that they saw utility in having a processor optimized for graph analysis. They likely see some uses for it outside of that market as well which is why both Intel and Qualcomm are interested in working on it. Even if it is a variation on 'Threadstorm' it's still optimized for this particular type of data processing.

I read the whole article and I don't see anywhere in this claiming it is a new idea. But certainly there is no other processor on the market like this one. So it fits the category of "new type of processor", even if it's for a dedicated use-case - just like those ML optimized processors.

There's a big difference between knowing it is theoretically possible and the value you get from a real world implementation with real users. That sounds pretty news worthy to me.
