DNT is meant as an explicit opt-out. A unified way for users to expressly say that they do not want to be tracked, if possible. Users actually going into the settings and flipping that switch makes it clear that it's their request and therefore could have given it legal bearing. (Exceptions from that for functionality that requires tracking, like online shopping, would be given implicitely by using that functionality.)

Unfortunately, Google, Facebook and Microsoft managed to kill that effort off.

Microsoft by doing exactly that, they default-enabled it in Internet Explorer, taking away any legal bearing. And Google+Facebook came out saying they don't give a fuck, they'll track users anyways, and then with something around 2/3 of all bigger webpages having Google Analytics deployed and some other ridiculous percentage having a Facebook Like-Button, there were essentially no webpages left that could have come out and said that they want to respect it in some fashion.

Apple itself may well have a pro-privacy stance regarding the data associated with their products & services, but if I can't even install a firewall on one of their phones then that doesn't protect my privacy much against malicious or deceptive third-parties.

I don't much like Android as a system but at least I can strip it of Google services and install a firewall and feel reasonably private. It's not an ideal option but it works.

That's the whole idea behind the RISC-V platform [1]. It's well-funded, well-designed, has amazing pedigree (David Patterson literally wrote the book on computer architecture). It's even licensed such that companies can use it in proprietary designs.

And yet, making the actual switch is a tremendously difficult task. On the software side alone, it requires recompiling every application you want to run on your platform. That doesn't even touch the cost of rolling the actual hardware. There are more than a few examples of this: Intel's Itanium, Oracle's SPARC, Berkeley's MIPS, Transmeta's Crusoe, etc. Sure, these all had niches (embedded systems, research hardware, a few high-end servers) -- but breaking out into the mainstream (a.k.a. like x86-64 and ARM/ARM64) is damn near impossible.

But now the conversation's going in a circle. In a decent static language, you should never have to run into that particular problem.

Assuming it's a modern static OO language, your business logic should depend on a User interface, so that it never has to take a dependency on implementation details like that. Even if User was a class beforehand, you can easily extract an interface at a later date, when you find that you need to avoid some tight coupling.

Yeah, entertainment options are great if you're poor. This might keep them somewhat complacent. But how about the quality of housing and transportation?

People absolutely will raise pitchforks when they no longer have housing or food. There are many Americans in this situation right now, but they suffer in near-silence. As their numbers swell, we will reach a point where they can no longer be ignored.

The food itself is cheap, but obtaining the food isn't. Consider the poor rural people that need to drive 30+ miles to the grocery store.

Yes, the "developer shortage" is maddening. I've railed at a few recruiters when they come out with this one. Many companies I've come across would rather go without a hire for months than take a chance on anyone less than "senior". Tech hiring is more like a talent show than a real profession.
I would say that your best bet is to stick with an established front end library. Bootstrap[1] is the most well known, but there are others such as UI Kit (not to be confused with Apple's UIKit for iOS)[2].

> Does that "creator" have any properties besides having kicked off the universe?

Not especially. I do posit, though, that life seems to be "improving," albeit non-monotonically, and that our species at least temporarily learns — often at terrible cost — from our mistakes; this might hint at a Creator "who" (that?) is at least somewhat benevolent.

(For what it's worth, in church I don't say the creeds past the "[maker] of all that is, seen and unseen," because the remainder is either sheer speculation or actively contradicted by the available evidence.)

> it is a big city in a developed country

It's strange how easy it is to be so alone when there are so many people around. I've also discovered the opposite to be true, and the principle also carries over to large and small schools and large and small companies. When there are few people, they are more relational, but when it's impractical to greet everyone you meet, you may greet no one.

I applied to one position here on a HN job thread a bit back. Looked right up my alley. Doing IoT, 3d modeling, circuit design, and glue code. So, I did the initial phone screen. Then they gave me the 'zinger': we want you to make a webapp for us. We expect this will take 8-12 hours (?!).

I responded back, that's billable time there. That would require me to take PTO at my current job, and do your work unpaid. And that, I will not do.

I kindly told them where they could put their job. (They still advertise jobs on the monthly, but they seem legit aside that onerous 1.5 days of work. And no, I won't mention whom. Hopefully they'll rethink their policies, but alas..)
It's a market, same as any other, and there's a cost-quality curve same as many markets. That curve might move over time but it won't change the fact that the people who own the images get to decide on what terms they are used and the people who own the court get to decide who they let in with cameras and to where (and if they install your nice AI cameras to replace the freelance photojournalists they currently let in, that may well raise the market price because they've just created a nice little monopoly for themselves).

I don't get to go and ride someone else's horse for free whenever I feel like it just because cars exist.

> There exists cannabis psychosis.

As far as I can tell, this is not generally accepted as true. At best, there is a statistical association between cannabis use in children/young adults and the later development of psychoses. As we all know, "correlation is not causation" - it may well be that those who are more likely to develop psychosis are also more likely to use cannabis and other psychoactive substances to excess.

> When I say "Harry Potter is a work of fiction", would you object that that relies on a metaphysical belief and unless I can demonstrate with absolute certainty that Harry Potter does not exist, then that is to be treated the same as "We are being controlled by reptile overlords"?

If you stretch the semantics so that Harry Potter is a metaphysical entity, rather than a physical entity in a fantasy world, and so that also "reptile overlords" are metaphysical entities, rather than possible physical entities as they are commonly understood to be, then I would have no objection.

You can play a lot with words and philosophical concepts, and concoct funny situations by stretching semantics.

You cannot however change the fact that given a metaphysical proposition (there is God) and its negation (there is no God), the belief that either one is true requires an act of faith.

And feeling all smug and superior for your act of faith (wheter in the direction of atheism or theism) is quite adolescential.

It is pleasant to live in echo chamber and that is exactly what you would build there. And the result is place where people don't talk about issues and don't solve problems if doing so would go against groupthink. And just like in any echo chamber, consensus will more more toward extreme and people will simultaneously become less and less capable of handling different opinions.

I hadn't heard of the Athanasian Creed or know much about Catholicism, that's interesting.

It always seems to be that Pope Francis is much closer to Jesus's example than the Catholic church's tradition. Jesus was in the Bible stories, modest and tolerant and said things like "it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven." The Catholic church seemed to go a bit away from that with ostentatious wealth, intolerance and the like so I can see why some of followers would be against Francis.
Save money. Which is, I believe, the crux of this article's argument: people do not have enough cash on hand to weather the storm.
Will be very interested.
One of the good interview experiences I had, included going through a project I had previously done, framing the problem, how I'd have worked through it (with class/function level whiteboarding), and what could be improved. It was a project from a previous job, but too high level to be replicated. But could see how going through work from a previous job could be problematic (no code was shown).
Luckily, the next version of uBlock will let us block CSP reports alltogether.

If CSP reports become a reliable way to gather data, they _will_ be used for tracking. This is why we can't have nice things. And why I have to disable all nice things we do have, in my browser.
> I think you are missing the scale mentioned in the article:

Nope, not missing that. You don't think this happened in 1999-2000?

I agree with you that grad students are ruthlessly exploited. I've seen that firsthand. I routinely discourage people from doing a Ph.D. for that reason. And if you're not too far along, taking a terminal master's and leaving for industry is a solid option, especially because this AI bubble won't last forever. But if, like the one student in TFA, you have just one year left, quitting grad school is not a great idea. Now you have, at best, an awkwardly long stretch of grad school on your CV with a master's degree on the end of it, and at worst, no degree at all to show for your pains. At that point, just suck it up and finish the degree.
I really like my current job and still would think you are dumb and dislike you for putting me in that position.

You do have it better, including relative to the wealthy. That was the point of my previous comment. The trend shows no signs of changing, so we can expect that to continue.

I think it's worth re-examining if what you're describing is even a problem, and more importantly, if what you would suggest as a fix actually makes anything better other than a sense of "fairness."

Their ads are everywhere - took me a while to notice that it's the same CME that run all of those expensive video ads that have that scammy "get rich working from home" feel to them.

For some perspective: take a few sites that you use every day (e.g. Google, possibly Facebook, any news site that you visit regularly) and check on First Versions (http://www.firstversions.com/) to see what their first publicly available iterations look like. If that doesn't lower your bar for visual design, nothing will :)

Remember also that many "minimalist" / "undesigned" sites (e.g. Craigslist) are quite popular. "Good" design isn't necessarily more elaborate or complicated; often users will prefer an interface that is concise and clear with a few well-thought-out options to one that looks nicer but is unusable.

I'm no designer myself, but I've done a passable job of maintaining reasonable design in my projects with a few principles: understand what your users want to do, then help them do that; use visual cues consistently (contrast, color, size, font weight, etc.); pick easily readable fonts; and so on.

A bit of reading up on design from various perspectives helps. Here's some of my favorite resources: https://www.nngroup.com/reports/, The Design of Everyday Things, The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, http://worrydream.com/MagicInk/, Understanding Comics (no, seriously! A lot of "sequential art" principles transfer well to web design), https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility (accessibility isn't just about helping the disabled; a more accessible site is, well, more accessible to everyone).

Also, learn to use the tools that are out there. There are color pickers to help you build reasonable color schemes, font libraries (e.g. Google Web Fonts) for easy-to-use readable fonts, icon libraries (e.g. Noun Project) for decent icons covering common user actions. CSS3 itself has many goodies (transitions, ::before / ::after pseudo-classes, etc.), and is worth learning in detail.

Even if you end up working with designers - I certainly do for many projects - it's worth your time to understand the basic principles.

I think the most important thing is that you are motivated to create a web-app in the first place — this should give you mental leverage to learn how to do UI / UX properly, if you have the time to go down that route.

As someone who started off as a non-designer programmer, I taught myself UI/UX just by practising a lot. The two ways (that in hindsight were the most invaluable) I improved were to:

• Read highly-praised books on design fundamentals... These two literally changed the way I make / look at everything that is graphic design related: 1. The Non-Designers Design Book [1]; 2. Know Your Onions [2]. The third I can recommend is all about making websites / UX and covers everything you need to think about when you're working on a web project: 3. Don't Make Me Think (Revisited) [3]. All three are very well-reviewed and have changed people's lives.

• Copy everything you like the look of. What are your favourite web apps / pages / interfaces? What makes them tick? Try and copy sections that you like to give you a feel for how things should be laid-out. Most crucially, use a vector graphics program (I cannot recommend Affinity Designer enough, not least because it is insanely cheap for what it is), and copy as many icons / vector images as you can. Learn the fundamentals of bezier curves and how almost every piece of graphic artwork is made up of different combinations / layerings of shapes... Forget about fancy effects (e.g. shadows, gradients) at first, and just copy the shapes themselves. This was my biggest revelation and improved my UI ability to that of a professional standard. Once you realise that a fancy padlock icon [4] is just a rounded rectangle with a circle and triangle in it merged together, you'll start being able to recreate neat icons really easily.

If you don't enjoy doing any of the above, then hire a professional designer :) There really are no other 'ways of dealing with it' than doing it yourself or using a service. But trust me, it is well within reach to get yourself to a decent level in just a few months.

Be aware that these still require you to have at least a basic understanding of CSS and HTML (the more you need to customize it, the more you'll need to know). Nothing crazy, but don't expect it to be a drag and drop designer.

For Bootstrap (UI Kit might be the same but I haven't used it) your best option is to look at their examples[1], find one you like, then view the source code from it. Use that as your starting page and go from there.

But like I said: any customizing, tweaking, etc will require you to know some HTML and CSS.

We do the same. It's amazing to me how many people with superficially impressive CVs do one or more of:

* Cheat

* Fail to follow simple instructions

* Write no tests for there code (even the given examples!)

* Just horribly fail to implement an algorithm

All in all, it's just a filter to be used before proper face-to-face interviews.
I’m not married to an editor so much as my bindings. I’d really hate to use an editor/ide that doesn’t have a decent implementation of at least some vim bindings, though I have to sometimes.

Ultimately I think it’s familiarity and a subtle fear that learning any new system will be a time sink.
