> I'm not sure we are talking about the same bluetooth here. I have yet to see a bluetooth device that just works (I am a non apple user, so I can't speak for IOS devices).

I have a 2008 Toyota Tundra pickup with no bluetooth. I bought a $20 bluetooth adapter [1]. It has worked flawlessly with my iPhone 5S/6/7 phones; I step into the vehicle, and as soon as the cigarette power adapters are powered up, it pairs without any intervention on my part (after the initial pairing). I consume vast quantities of Spotify while driving around Central Florida with this setup.

I still rely on the Apple corded headphones, as I prefer their UX to wireless headphones.

It is regretful if it does not work for your specific use case, but it does seem to work in certain scenarios without issue.

Put the green servers in one cluster, the blue servers in another cluster. Then use the route configuration to switch between the two.

I don’t actually work for GDS anymore (or even live in the UK) but people there are receptive. Can you leave a comment against the blog post? Unfortunately I don’t know the best way to raise your concerns officially, but that would hopefully get an answer.

Actually thinking about it, the best way would be to apply for GDS’s recently opened Deputy Director of Technology and Operations role :) https://www.civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk/csr/jobs.cgi?jco...
This is virtually the same reply that every single "rust would help with safety" comment gets every time without fail. And despite those tools, mistakes occur in the most critical of codebases. In fact just early today a patch to LKML was being mocked because some pointer manipulation in C was clearly buggy and uncaught due to the lack of safety and sophistication of the type system.
Peeling the onion: how Tor combines public-key and symmetric encryption
Okay so the article offers the problem but not a real solution. I'd say the government just needs to start going after these companies for discriminating against older employees. Any alternative solutions?

> People who are driven to early retirement & financial independence are people who DESPISE jobs and are willing to spend their whole life at a much smaller income bracket in exchange for not having one.

I was surprised by the negativity in this thread until I read this sentence. Most readers here though have the option of either finding a less terrible job or starting our own companies. When neither of those are an option eating beans sounds pretty good.
I have worked and continue to work on several Gov.UK projects and we take steps to ensure that anything that gets sent to GA is as anonymised as possible. Just last week we had a ticket in planning to further improve the anonymity of the data sent to GA for the UK MOT testing service, so it is definitely not like we’re just firing all sorts of data to third parties, we are thinking very hard about this stuff.

Preserving our users’ anonymity is one of our major priorities and we actively work to improve how we do this.
Some only use exchanges like Coinbase to transfer money into and out of your wallet. Leaving your coins on Coinbase is considered risky since it could be hacked and your coins stolen.

Using physical digital wallets is more secure, but they can be lost or damaged it so it's choice you have to make. Here's the best one that I've seen (no affiliation):

>MSSQL also runs on a abstraction layer since v2005 so there's no inherent problem with running on Linux.

Yes, one would think an extra abstraction layer would render platforms exactly equal but that's not the real-world outcome. For example, Windows Server also runs on an "abstraction layer" called HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) and yet we had production problems with Windows on Itanium that had specific knowledge base articles and hotfixes for Itanium.

Did Microsoft premier support help us with Itanium problems?!? Yes, they were responsive and eventually solved some obscure bugs. But their support for Intel x86 was more complete and up-to-date. Likewise, I anticipate that Microsoft will be competent and helpful with customers running SQL Server on Linux. But I don't expect their specialists to have the same level of expertise as MSSQL on Windows.

If someone wants to run MS SQL Server on Linux, that's fine but don't think the enterprise platforms are equal. That usually doesn't turn out to be the case.

>Also containers change the entire scenario.

I'd be totally comfortable with MSSQL on Linux for dev/sandbox/QA environments (avoids licensing costs of Windows). But not for mission-critical production deployment.

I haven't had an iPhone since the 3Gs - how are these sent? Via cellular data I assume, but is there some app you have to have on your computer?
Correct, and that's why Google added it in the first place, to hurt Amazon.

It's ridiculous how many people here are defending Google over this.
Here's a blog article regarding the changes required for search to support the tweet length changes: https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/topics/infrastruc...
I saw a chart somewhere recently comparing the tweet length distributions between Japanese and other countries which basically says, there are less surge near the 140 char limit in JP than in other countries, and that should describe the reason why Twitter is still popular in JP while it's struggling in others: JP people are less frustrated by the char limit and thus experience a better UX.

Interesting thanks for the detailed response. Can you elaborate on your comment about "xDS APIs"? I' not sure which APIs are you referring to.
1. Labor costs.

The TTL publicly is static and doesn't matter. The resolver you hit will just point to Cloudflare NS. Why we are faster, is because we point internally, and we don't have misconfigured TTLs or caching (I mean, things happen but it's not common). So once you update the global resolvers your visitors would hit to point to CF, their cache/TTL should never matter since we dictate where our internal DNS points the requested record.

Fair enough. But whom will you hate exactly? If one cannot see Youtube on Echo Show, I bet end users will hate Echo Show ("hey look, Youtube works fine on iPhone but not on this device") more than Youtube.

Which is why we need some "net neutrality" kind of regulations as alluded to in another comment on this topic.

> Imagine that your close relative loses a job, and his, hm... "standard of living" goes down X, while someone else on another side of the globe gets that job, and his standard of living goes up 2X. (It's not zero sum, yes). Would you be happy over such an outcome?

Why did they lose their job? Is it because of freer trade? If was something like that then I would be ok, because I think that ultimately that's likely to make things better for everyone including the people in my country and including my relatives and descendants.

(and why does helping your relative out have to be at the expense of those other people overseas? Perhaps the best way to help them is for them to receive funding to get retrained to be more competitive in another area?)

I'm against the idea of blocking things with long-term gain, for the purposes of short-term gain.

Google didn't refuse; Amazon can use them on the same terms as everyone else does.

Amazon chooses not to, and that's their right, but that's not a Google decision. So, it boils down to Amazon refuses to list Chromecast and Google Home (but instead redirects searches to competitors) because Amazon refuses to use Chromecast or run Google Apps.
Moxie has stated in the past that the goal of Signal is not to cater to "security people" but to "make mass surveillance impossible".
> creating your own deities that you add and remove at will?

This is likely a miscommunication. Deity is a bad word, but I have a feeling the parent poster was just using it for emphasis.

The parent poster may just mean they respect and believe in the ideas collected together by a specific symbol. As soon as that symbol diverges its ideas from the parent, or the parent diverges is value function away from those ideas, then the parent poster no longer holds that symbol "in regard" (i.e. a deity).

I don't know about the parent, but to give you my perspective: I consider myself a poly-ideologist. It comes across very similar to what the parent poster describes.

I try and give all ideas merit, regardless of my prior thoughts. I usually give the most respect to ideas which are in my best interest (i.e. follow my value function). Sometimes this is hard because it goes counter to other ideas, and I have to internally find an equilibrium.

For example, how do I reconcile that I want to be financially independent, to do so, maybe I need to rent-seek, but also I believe all humans should be considered equal and treated with respect? By some definition of rent-seeking I am not respecting the people paying me money. As such, clearly it isn't binary I need to find an equilibrium and as time flows that equilibrium may change. To give fake but concrete numbers for the sake of explanation, lets say: I have a 65% belief that all humans should be respected and considered equal, however, 35% belief that I am not considered equal with all humans, I am superior. At every instant in time, I flip flop. I flip flop so fast between both that it is indistinguishable from believing both even tho they are contrary. Knowing this side of my human nature, it helps me reconcile how much I am willing to exploit other humans in order to become financially independent. (For the record its a hard thing to type out, because of social stigmas against recognizing certain ideas. rent-seeking/not treating people equally are some of the slightly more appropriate of all possible inappropriate ideas.)

Another example, if you asked me do I believe in god or am I an atheist? Those aren't binary questions for me, I'd give you a percentage. Today, I'm 20% sure god exists, 20% an atheist, 60% sure that it doesn't matter to me today. On a different day, say I was in the hospital, I may find myself giving more merit to believing in god, and that ratio might skew 80% believing in god, but still 20% sure that its total bullshit. Or I say a child with cancer and on that day I'd be pretty sure god doesn't exist.

I don't know.. I'm just kinda weird. Perhaps its not possible for me to explain myself yet.

P.S. All percentages in this post are not accurate. I have no way to measure how much I believe a particular idea.
I don't think this is quite the template reply (and if you check my HN comment history, I think you might see that I'm quite familiar with receiving the template replies!), what I meant to say is that it'd be much higher leverage to rewrite other parts of Fuchsia in Rust than to rewrite Zircon.
No, you can send the lock via the iCloud website. Although, to log on, you may have to use a 2FA code that is sent to your device or home Mac....
Thanks! I've really appreciated your Rust guides over the years. It's been so handy that we pre-ordered 5 copies of your Rust Programming Language book a few months back. I can't wait to get my hard copy. :)
> gnu.org has a huge beef with BSD, they are actively campaigning for any developer considering BSD to use GPL instead[1]. Basically, anything that is not 100% copyleft is considered non-Free by GNU and FSF.

Not true. Just look here:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html

Plenty of BSD-ish licenses that are in the free software categories.

The FSF's and GNU proejct's position is that they prefer GPL over BSD, but nowhere do they say BSDish licensed code is not free software.
The xrays are probably almost identical. The difference is that dentists simply charge much more in the United States. The median dentist salary in the US is about $150,000 [1]. In India, the median dentist salary is 344,000 INR, or about $5,250.

Some of this can be attributed to general differences in labor costs between the US and India. With few exceptions, most service industries in India are going to charge less because it's not as wealthy of a country. However, the biggest difference is that Americans are simply used to paying absurd amounts for medical care of any sort. There are a variety of factors at play, including strict limits on the number of dentists graduating each year, dental insurance coverage (most dental insurance plans cover x-rays, so people with insurance tend not to consider the cost), etc.

" I woke up this morning in a bad mood and decided to kick them off the Internet."

https://gizmodo.com/cloudflare-ceo-on-terminating-service-to...

The point of the matter is services can host questionable content and remove it to comply with the law or services can based on their terms of service remove content "as they see fit."

The question remains, when will a service come for your content? I'm not advocating for hate speech or any illegal activities, I just think cloudflare strapped on their skis and are now on their way down the classic slippery slope.
Is there a silicon valley success story that doesn't involve the team working long hours, especially in the early days?
I don't necessarily accept either of those statements. But since most companies just copy Google's interview process, it's worth pointing out that Google can afford to reject, say, 100 qualified people in order to avoid accidentally hiring one unqualified person. The average non-Google tech company cannot afford that.
Yes, guy accused of emotional decision making replying that he won't do it again isn't going to carry a lot of weight when there is no binding guarantee.
Only a small percentage of tweets actually use 140, I would not assume that because the limit is doubled 100% of new tweets will be 240. Probably less than 5% of tweets will go beyond 140.

Silicon Valley likes young people because they tend to accept worse employment contracts and accept the idea of longer hours. Folks with family responsibility immediately put counter-pressure on this.

I'm 38. And I feel enormous pressure to be smarter than everyone around me to be relevant. People expect you to be incredible both at management and engineering as you get older. I'm very lucky my career path has given me opportunity here, because but for a few chance encounters I'd be much, much worse at both and that'd be awful. I'm quite worried about what people will expect of me when I'm 45. I'm working hard to add data science to my resume because I think that "mathy" roles have less discrimination against them than pure engineering roles, and I want to stay ahead of it.

I do a lot of stuff that is tactical as well. For example, today I'm wearing a uniqlo-nintendo collaboration t-shirt with Pikachu on it. I'm doing so on the day I'm giving an interview. Because I know, tactically, this shirt is silly and irreverent and paints a picture of someone younger at heart.

And maybe that is naturally me (pika pika, ban lylat!) but I'd be lying if I didn't continue to do it tactically to appear more relevant and "with it".

What's interesting to me is that outside of the SV startup world, every computer scientist and great engineer I respect is a person over 40. Especially in academia, where women and men of astounding intelligence are doing work that in 10 years will probably reshape the industry (put forth, naturally, by breathlessly enthusiastic 21 year old "devrel" folks mis-attributing the work of 2 generations of academia to the brilliance of the senior technical staff at that company).

So yeah, it sucks. It's real. And there is a reason in the older white male-ish segment you find more awareness of other types (gender, racial) discrimination in the industry: people over 40 directly experience age discrimination and it's not at all theoretical even to white men in that cohort. If it can happen to older white dudes, it surely can happen to anyone else.
Sorry, I didn't mean to put words in your mouth or anything. I am quite curious which parts you think would better benefit from a rewrite in a safer language if you might elaborate. Thanks!
Probably not, everything takes a lot of work. It's just glamorized for the few unicorns that get talked about. But for every one of those, there are thousands that fail miserably, by no lack of hard work.
No, you can activate Lost Mode without 2FA.
These things allow iOS to remain relatively secure for end-users while Android continues to be a wasteland of exploits.

I'd argue I want my phone to be as secure as possible, more so than my laptop, since it is my authenticator for most of my services.

Most end users are satisfied with their iOS devices and don't try and use it as a ssh machine or toolkit. They install Candy Crush and some Google apps at most.

I'm just so baffled by this. I've been using bluetooth happily for over a decade. With some minor hiccups, I'd say it works near flawlessly every time.

The point here isn't that the targets of identity theft don't suffer, the point is that the institutions facilitating the fraud are the true perpetrators of the damage and that calling it "identity theft" makes it sound like the perpetrator is the person committing the fraud.

Condos are another can of worms.

I just very briefly touched on one issue with owning and why it may make sense for someone to rent for years (even if it might not be financially optimal[1]).

Books could be written about the topic.

The main takeaway is "everyone is different." And "one size does not fit all." Remember, many businesses still choose to rent over buying.

They only have so many people, and they’re already having trouble delivering the products they have now. I think the airpods are just now available in stores as of a couple weeks ago. And the same thing for the iPhone X, most people probably won’t have them until 2018.
i'm not sure if regulation is needed at this point. I'm not a fan of government interference. Unionization is one option. somehow enforcing certification is another to level the playing field (aside from certifications already being a racket).

CS degrees are virtually worthless by the time you graduate... experience matters, but less and less with each passing technological rotation. Experience matters more so in management or general leadership. Maybe look to start moving in that direction?
Given the political uncertainty around ACA until now, I would say its a rational decision to not rely on it. Sure, it survived this round of repeal efforts, but I am not sure if it is going to survive next 10 years. There is a very good chance that it will be replaced, and only a moderate chance that replacement will be better than what we have today.
