So hey, what would have happened if you hadn't responded right away on Sunday but waited until Monday, talked to your boss, and then replied to Famous Company?

They wouldn't have known. Their message didn't say "you are obligated to keep this secret". And even if it did, you have no such obligation.

If you want to make the seduction analog - which I don't think is the right one - then Famous Company flirted with you, you responded, and now they are using your response as blackmail to control what you do.

Why do you even need to tell Famous Company that you have talked with your boss?

I think you should say that you just signed a contract for all of 2018 so you need to talk with your boss to get an idea of what free time you have during the 2018 period before taking on other work.

They want to do things under NDA, so your argument might be that you want to figure out your availability before signing the NDA, to help limit needless information disclosure. (Eg, if they have a project which requires 6 months of work but you only have 3, then there's no reason for them to tell you about it.)

BTW, I'm a Westerner. Don't read all that much into those infographics. For example, stereotypical German punctuality ("the West" in those graphics) is not the same as stereotypical Latin punctuality.

In my experience it isn't uncommon for employees to use poaching attempts like this for negotiation power. That is, you could go to your current boss and say that Famous Company is looking to hire you, in hopes that your current boss would raise your pay or promote you. And if that happens, then go back to Famous Company to see if you can get an even higher offer.

This can be done in both good and bad ways. You should be aware that some people play this game, so bosses on either side might be sensitive either to you playing that game, or them thinking that that's what you are doing.

But I don't think that telling your current boss - who already lets you do some part-time work - that you have the opportunity to do more part-time work for Famous Company, is part of playing that game. That won't start until they ask for more time than you have to give them. And you don't know how much time that is unless you talk with your current boss.
Isn't this well understood as the 'revealed preference'?

The best description I've heard of it goes: "Given a choice between X and Y, a person says 'Oh, I love Y!' but then chooses X, X, X, and X".

Apple Music is on Android, it could just redirect to that and live on.
and probably requiring Accredited Investors only at some point, which probably 90 percent of crypto folks aren't, myself included.

Accredited investors must make 200 to 300k annual (dual income allowed) and/or have 5 mill in tied up assets and/or a net worth of over 1 mill.
Security no doubt.

Homebrew security is good enough for you and me but not good enough if you're working on Apple software.
Disclaimer: I work on the Google Home hardware team.

I have tested a few of these, and have a Max and a regular Home in my house. Also have the assistant on my NVIDIA Shield and on Android Auto. I find them handier than I thought I would. But my kids might finder them handier than I do.

My 10 year old daughter really likes the home, she has it in her room and uses it to listen to whatever music she wants, which she sings along to. She gets the weather from it, sets alarms if she needs them, and generally finds it useful.

I use it to find my phone ("hey google, where's my phone" to get it to ring), to ask about weather, travel times, math questions [especially good with the kids], and most often to play music.. either by cast from my phone or computer, or just by verbal request. The Max sounds _really_ good. I need to get a second so I can get stereo though.

I think they're handy and getting handier. I can't compare to the competition, though.
Did you mean "less falsifiable"?
or you give your CI the ability to read transaction markers in your git repo. e.g. add a tag that says "must have [repo] at [sha]+". dependency management basically. you can even do this after the commits are created, so you can allow cycles and not just diamonds.

but yes, cross-project commits are dramatically easier in a monorepo, I entirely agree with that - they essentially come "for free".
For me it’s because there’s always the associated thought/worry that the woman(-en) in it aren’t in it voluntarily.

The numbers I’ve seen about sex-trafficking ruins all porn for me.

I never used to feel that way until internet-awareness woke me to it.
That's life, though - people will pay markups for coffee and booze because they know what they're getting; you get a reliably enjoyable experience with no mental overhead required.

Even the best apps have two unknowns - 1) you don't know if it's going to be useful, and 2) you don't know how to use that app; you need to learn how it works. The former issue can be obviated by word-of-mouth praise, but it's soooo tough to get over the latter.

Like you I am a startup founder, which probably means that we are both pathological novelty-seekers when it comes to tech. And yet... I worked at an amazing B2C startup for two years and, to be completely honest, I never really got into the habit of using the product daily. The app is targeted at my demo and I didn't use it daily.

That's why they say that the crux of building a great B2C company (e.g. an app) lies in changing the public's consumption habits. It's tough, and it seems like such an impenetrable problem. I have a lot of admiration for B2C founders.
Responsive Web Design Guidelines: What It Is and How to Use It？
Yes, I agree and should've said that I'm not for banning internet porn, but I do believe it's harmful in the same way that nicotine or addictive drugs are. I wouldn't support a system where the gov't forces ISPs to filter porn, but I would be in favor of web browsers or ISPs building more tools for parents or addicts to self-filter porn on their own.
It was 2016 and he said "I’ve noticed on AWS prices was that a few months ago, the spot prices on their GPU compute instances were $26 an hour for a four-GP machine, and $6.50 an hour for a one-GP machine. That’s the first time I’ve seen a computer that has human wages.."

Minimum wage (or thereabouts $7.20) now gets you a whopping p2.8xlarge (8 GPU, 32 vcpus, 488GB RAM), and the single GPU machine p2.xlarge is now $0.9 per hour.

This is a crazy data point. What will minimum wage buy you five years from now?
Well that's a bummer.
You've left out that the ISPs are being paid by their customers, for receiving the data from $encrypted_internet_video_provider on the customer's behalf!

If the ISPs don't want to be in the business of carrying data, then the answer is very simple - get out of the business and give back all that infrastructure that was built out with public resources!
Study: Diet Success Depends on Your Genes
A short walk and breath of fresh air is one of the more consistently serendipitous things that help creative work. Music helps too, though silence can help too - it depends on your emotive response at the time I guess.

"Brain dumps" - the act of transferring mental information to another medium can itself be a great mental relief. eg.:

- drawing diagrams w/ pencil and paper. things are more complicated than we first imagine them, often... remember, "the right perspective is worth 80 IQ points" - alan kay

- debugging by talking to yourself out loud

- post-it note reminders everywhere -> your short-term/working memory doesn't feel cramped

It is possible, maybe, that you are a bit concerned about enjoying programming/working to the fullest extent.. because you expected it to be more enjoyable. All that said... good focus is not just maximum momentum -- what you are really asking about, imo, sounds like a question of laminar vs turbulent flow :) To go "down the rabbit hole" with great momentum, versus a fragmented mind pulled apart in every direction with equal momentum :P Well, we all know how time flies when you're having fun, or enjoying good company, right? Yet it almost seems you are asking for tips on how to make time fly when it shouldn't, hypothetically kinda like this:

>"if -- while I am working on something difficult -- I had the capacity to just make time fly quicker, then I'd have no problems with stamina or keeping focused, by design. Furthermore, it would be a momentary-enough challenge to /become fun/. So how do I hasten the passage of time when work is hard?"

The answer to this is: unimpeded flow = mastery. Extrinsic obstacles are easy to spot but one's intrinsic obstacles take much longer to become aware of..

Only after intuition replaces the tendency to hesitant deliberation will deliberate action come easily. As you gain experience, you subvocalize less and operate 'fluidly' at the right mental level of semantics.. With mastery comes the use of "the voice as an object that can be seen as the lever of thought" [0]. Just think of the last time you were amazed by a display of talent or performance by someone that left you so amazed you wished for a few minutes more of their time.

imo, to solve your problems, you have a few options:

- you could improve to the point that coding gains a new and desiring appeal.

- you could find something (or somebody) with exceptionally inspiring talents to code with

- or, you could look deeper into yourself, and see if the focuslessness is really just a desirelessness

It's not surprising that Nintendo stays HQ focused. They learned from their competitors over the years not to let the local offices get too autonomous. Those of us who remember the bewildering array of hardware from Sega and the mislaunches understand why. Sega of America was notoriously at war with Sega of Japan and even did simultaneous console R&D on their own.

It ain't an easy transition, but transitioning from Angular 1.x to Angular 2.x can be done. A path forward was forged in 1.x updates that let you incrementally make your code more Angular 2-y. Also, there doesn't seem to be a huge breaking change in the foreseeable future either.

That being said, React seems far less likely to pose this threat, with the caveat that you do have smaller pieces you may have to rewrite as the ecosystem evolves. That being said, in a few years of using React, the only things that have hugely changed are:

1. React Router
2. Use of ES6 classes
3. Better compilers/tools

...That's it. And the latter 2 don't really mean you need to rewrite code, although often you can to take advantage of new stuff. All in all, not at all a raw deal. You get a lot from the work.
Are lawsuits like that a real thing in EU? We’re considering to make ui, at least hard part of it, in a canvas for new web-based projects. Of course, there is no intention to discriminate people with sight issues. I think we could provide different/better interface to cover this area.

Besides that, are modern sites actually accessible in that regard?

To me, this is the most exciting prospect of WebAssembly by far: an IR that works natively across all major platforms, including the web. It's funny because it makes Gary Bernhardt's "The Birth & Death of JavaScript"[1] seem a lot less like a joke.

You had a bunch of pretty good answers already. I just wanted to say that I can tell you haven't played any desktop console Zelda game. I can't find any game of similar quality and length in a phone. The closest I've seen is Oceanhorn in iOS which was pretty good for a mobile platform, but very short, easy and linear compared with console games.
This use case is interesting to me too. I looked into this a few months ago and found that there is a page on non-web embeddings:

My statement that the FCC generated the fake comments is conjecture. Between the refusal to cooperate that you pointed out, and that the outcome of those comments is exactly in line with the intent that Pai has indicated (since well before his appointment), I think my conjecture has a high probability of being correct.

I've worked on election campaigns and the like (software dev and sys administration), and observed the use of bot generated comments in EVERY one of them. Based on my experiences, it seems highly unlikely that they refrained from using them in this instance. It would be a deviation from standard operating procedure.

really? it's been a pretty cool feature in my experience - gives you something to talk about with people that might not have a fleshed out profile. plus it serves as a sort of filter - if, say, the chainsmokers are in your top artists, realistically you're not going to have that much common ground with me or my friend group
Didn't you just reinvent versioning and frozen dependencies? What you described is not always building at latest, it's building at latest except when there are issues at which point you don't build at latest and instead build at a known good version.

Consequences of this are, for example, that you cannot run all affected tests at every commit.
I don’t understand why being premined makes any difference? A company could easily create an equity pool and a new mineable currency, and make that currency worth a proportional amount of equity. That would very clearly fall under the umbrella of security. Similarly someone could create a premined currency and evenly distribute it to anyone who asked for it, in exchange for nothing with no guarantees about it being redeemable for anything. That may not be considered a security.

The lines become much more blurred when you’re talking about a staked currency where an ICO is necessary to help evenly distribute the coins which are then mined. Honestly, as annoying as this is, the definition is security is so broad that I find it hard to picture any cryptocurrency not being defined as a security.
I usually like Ben Thompson's writing, but this article felt so off to me. The basic premise - that enforcing net neutrality will be a trade-off or "burden" on par with onerous safety regulations - is completely flawed. ISPs have to do exactly what they've been doing for decades - nothing. Just leave packets alone and pass them along.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

My boss isn't punctual with his emails. My reply to Famous Company said that I just signed a contract for 2018, but they still wanted to meet during a business trip in January. I'm busy during working hours, obviously, but I'm confident that I can ask my boss and get permission to leave the office to go and meet them. I feel uncomfortable not telling my boss though, because he's a friend.

BTW, I grew up in Geneva and my parents are British, but I've had more work experience in Asia. Ironically, the person pursuing me is an Asian-American.

The Famous Company isn't trying to blackmail. They didn't actually say "NDA", they said "significant legal paperwork... protects both parties". I don't care about a promotion, I just want a stable job. I know that in 2019, my boss wants me to move on (he already told me). I want to make sure I do this honestly, maintaining friendship with my boss, instead of sneaking behind his back and slipping out of the office unannounced.
Your situation/culture sounds so foreign to my American ears that I can’t give (good) advice and I would be cautious taking advice from other people with a very different culture from yours.

In the US, we aren’t contracted to a company and thus we can be let go, or leave, at any time. We tend to have little loyalty to a company because, with some exceptions, companies generally don’t offer us much loyalty. We also (in tech) tend to work for many companies in our careers. Early in our careers we discover that we are responsible for our own careers and frankly, I think a lot of us like this more independent arrangement.

For myself, I always found it easier to just give myself a raise by going to another company that valued me more (or was will to pay the market rate) than to work 20% longer hours just get a 3% raise for my efforts.

"WebAssembly makes the web more open because it puts nails in the coffin of Flash, Unity Player, and the like."

In practice, it does not.

It's too low level, and the APIs to access browser features are not available, so you have to go through seriously ugly APIs and just do it in JS anyhow.

So if you have to go to JS to do pretty much everything, why are we using WASM again?

Performance? Is performance the issue? Because if it is, isn't there maybe better ways of solving that problem?

It's certainly not for portability, we already have that.

To make 'web development available to C coders' ... Not sure that's it since they will invariably have to know web browsers anyhow ...

WASM is a great idea that won't gather steam until there are direct APIS. Which is on the roadmap I think.

I'd suggest just trying to build a simple WA, or even trying to make a simple app out of WA. Things look different then.

It's a nice dream to have, we're still a ways off.
At least Nikon has offered a similar idea for awhile:

http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/software/img_auth/index.htm

The catch is that it has been hacked before:

https://blog.elcomsoft.com/2011/04/nikon-image-authenticatio...

The Secure Enclave helps a lot but the Nikon hsck illustrates a hazard of needing devices to be updated, especially since there’s an obvious opening for someone to use a plausible old vulnerable device – and it seems like, say, a compromising photo of a politician would spread a lot further and faster than the observation that the older phone has been compromised.

One other challenge is that you might be able to prove that a device took the photo but not that, say, it was a real scene rather than a high quality print or that the time stamp wasn’t subject to a manually set clock. Again, I’d expect countermeasures but worry that nobody would see them in time for the most damaging cases.

Ask HN: Hack together wearable sensors?
I'd like to start a project with wearable sensors(accelerometer, gyroscope) on placed on the body to log motion.

I'm having trouble finding resources or any good place to even ask. The backup is to just get a bunch of cheap Android phones and write and app to have them stream the sensor data over Wifi.

But this seems so trivial that I think it should have already been done with smartwatches or specialized sensors. If a watch could stream this data, I could very well get 10 of those.

Any input would be appreciated.

To give more context, it's a hobby project to try to visualize dance moves and figure out how to improve. Maybe even have the device vibrate when a joint is out of alignment or has an odd angle. It might be difficult to recreate the 3D body pose in virtual reality because of sensor drift, but I'd give it the old collage try.

I'm always a bit ambivalent about confessions/apologies of this sort by former execs and employees of these powerful companies. On the one had I'm glad they are speaking up and recognizing the harm being caused by the businesses they helped create.

On the other hand, it's hard to ignore the fact that typically these people have already profited enormously from these companies and they will never have to face any sort of real ramifications or consequences for the net harm that may ultimately be brought to society.

It's one thing to be sorry, it's another to avoid being complicit in such ventures to begin with. But that's the thing... where is the incentive to "do no harm" in Silicon Valley? There isn't any.

It's an interesting thought experiment to imagine what the world might look like if people were held accountable indefinitely for the externalities caused by the work they conduct.

Not saying this is practical or even desirable, but clearly it would change people's priorities quite a bit. As a software dev there's very little keeping you from accepting a fat job offer from Facebook unless you happen to have a particularly strong & discerning conscious/moral code. I'd like to believe that I'd turn it down... but I'm not so sure. No wonder the world's brightest minds are working at companies like this.
