Thanks for the tip, I've added the following to the post.

Please let me know if I got something wrong.

------------------------------------------

This appears to be true and another key distinction between Google Drive and Google Photos.

Google Photos uses direct link to image in their Web UI. This means that if I right click on a Google Photo image, select “Copy Link Location”, and share this link on the Internet, anyone with the link will be able to see the photo.

Google Drive adds an extra level of protection. The URL exposed in Google Drive Web UI is actually a redirect to the real image location. That redirect makes sure that the user is authenticated and has permissions to access the image. After the check is complete, however, Google Drive will redirect to the physical location of the image. Copying and pasting that URL will have similar security implications.

Given that those URLs are extremely hard to guess, I am not as concern with this finding. My biggest complain with Google Photos is that it offers me a UI to email private links to other people, without alerting me that user authentication will not be performed to view this content.

From what I heard it was older folks, retired workers from Midwest and maybe the Cuban community, who perhaps felt Obama opening a US Embassy in Cuba as a negative development. Florida is also Trump's second home for his little golf play area, or at least he seems to spend enough time there, so perhaps his campaign had a better knowledge of demographics and where and how to spend the money and time.
Yeah, its like a glorified sweatshop. Is it any wonder that these companies don't get any respect.
Extremely generalized, but here's my viewpoint:

If startups are a risky venture, video games are insane, and video game startups essentially doomed to failure.

Your window for sales is the first few months after release. After that they generally slow to a trickle. Microtransactions get brought in to rectify that situation, but then further increase the risk that players will reject your game en masse.

Spending time to make a beautiful architecture doesn't make sense. Companies that sell game engines have an incentive to do things right, but spend too long and you'll lag behind the competition in shiny features and your customers will jump ship to things that help them sell games.

Key to game development is to iterate fast and fail fast. Building up a prototype and getting it to a state where it's "fun" is crucial, and then the sunk costs fallacy kicks in and the prototype gets cleaned up and shipped.

Players are unconcerned with bugs despite often complaining about them. The success of early access games like Minecraft, Day Z, and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds despite often gamebreaking bugs proves this.

The disconnect between quality and success has become so pronounced that an entire subgenre of "simulators" has popped up where the core gameplay mechanic is the game being buggy and/or frustrating to play. Goat Simulator, Surgeon Simulator, Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, and Hand Simulator come to mind here, but there are plenty more.

I think the H1B restrictions you touch on are a big part of the problem. If it was easy for H1B holders to change employers the market would be allowed to correct this. The H1B holders could demand market rate and proper treatment. Right now it's completely distorted.

I had a short TCS contract once. I remember the background on my badge was green to indicate I was a US citizen. It was for an ITAR regulated project, so we were only allowed to talk about it with other US citizens. It was also just a software licensing server, which shows just how stupid ITAR is.
Our signed agreement restricted our ability to solicit other bids or fundraise and targeted a close on December 11th, 2017.

Indeed, that was just poor management. Did they have a board that accepted that too? It seems like having a sole bidder is the single worst way to get a good price. You only do that if there's no other choice.

Companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple have thousands of job openings and are desperate to hire more talent. They will happily interview anyone(from US, India, China, heck Syria) if the person is qualified. So this is just xenophobia(surprising to see such thinking in comments here on HN). The effect though is that top valley companies have already instituted a policy to stop hiring fresh-grad H1bs to avoid risk.

While so far, places like silicon valley have been unique in being centers of innovation, this will change. Till just a couple decades ago, you literally had to be physically in the office to work on a database server etc. Within a generation or so, the advantage of physically being in silicon valley will be immaterial.
Not on Hacker News perhaps, but certainly by the rest of the world.
It "solves" it by not solving it - WebAssembly doesn't do UIs, that component is still built in HTML. The wasm functions are just doing the expensive computation. I think there's been some work to build DOM apis in languages that compile to wasm, but for the most part the workflow is to create your UI in markup or standard javascript and then call out to wasm functions to do things, or else building the UI in WebGL (e.g. games)
This is a strawman.

Note that the parent comment says "why should we allow entities to monopolize IP _long after the creators are dead". Reducing copyright length to a more sane level would prevent exactly this: How on earth is arresting and mildly reversing the ceaseless march of extended copyright terms "swinging to the opposite extreme?"

I like your No Caucus vs the Yes Caucus idea. Interesting to think about. Had to look up Gould's punctuated equilibrium to understand it better. I read "Bully for Brontosaurus" by Gould, that's where I heard the term first but then forgotten its meaning.

Wonder if this has been considered: mixing English and “insert your langauage here”.

Also, perhaps not so relevant in 10-20 years, but some folks like my grandma cannot speak mandarin. She can only speak local dialect, which is not covered in any speech recongition package anywhere in the world. The best I can do is make the program to understand a couple simple commands in her dialect, and collect words spoken in her dialect to construct a response.

I agree. Implying that HN users aren't generally susceptible to blackhat trolling is naive.

"Buchanan claims that at a job fair organized for the employees losing their jobs, the South Asian TCS regional manager was dismissive of his interest in a position."

"TCS argued Buchanan ... didn’t attend any of the town hall meetings he was invited to during the Edison transition to learn about open positions with TCS and how to apply for them -- and he didn’t apply for a specific job"

I have no experience whatsoever with TCS, so I have no idea if there's any merit to these accusations. But guy-at-job-fair-was-not-nice-to-me hardly makes for a compelling discrimination argument. I've heard far worse stories from women and people-of-color interviewing at most American companies.
That's just the HR screen. The actual interviews are not like that.
Excellent response, if true. Companies treating candidates like garbage are the scourge of our industry. You should name and shame but I understand why you don't.

And one day it will not be, and we'll be sad that it once was and so many people were lost forever as a result.

> Get back to me when there is any path forward on this that doesn’t lead to increased social and economic stratification so rich people can live longer.

You are assuming a great deal that is not in evidence. It's ridiculously hard to raise funds to cure aging and age-related degeneration. Demonstrate that a cure exists, and it'll be easy to raise funds to get that cure to everyone and make it more efficient to administer and distribute. The gap from "exists" to "universally available" will not last long.

> It’s not useful to fear in that conquering it will not improve your life.

On a scale from zero to non-zero, where death is zero, conquering it necessarily improves your life, by preserving it rather than allowing its senseless cessation.

Hey, not the OP, but I did want to offer my 2c anyway, as someone into gamedev. I'd say you're both very right and very, very wrong at the same time.

In game development, especially with indies, in the early phases of development many developers take an approach of valuing "getting it going" over everything else. While this might sound short-sighted, it's actually a very canny decision, and often is the only way to gain enough of a foothold to ensure the long-term success of the project when you're working on a very complex piece of software like a game - see Jonathan Blow's youtube video on "The art of getting things going". Additionally there's the relationship of this approach with the game design process, where you need a very fast iteration time on prototyping game mechanics in the early stages, to start finding your way towards something interesting to flesh out into a full product.

With that being said, in commercial game development (and experienced indie developers), the performance standards are so much higher than most other fields of programming that it is actually absurd. The focus on performance of much of enterprise software, web apps, and even most native tools, is nowhere even in the same league as that of high-quality games.

I would also say that at the highest level of game development there is a very high quality level of code organization and architecture. Games are one of the most complex types of programs, involving physical simulation of a large amount of objects, skeletal animation skinning, very complex rendering and shading, realtime deterministic state synchronization over a network, audio streaming, and on, and on, and on, all happening on a realtime basis.

There's simply no room to be "ad hoc" or "hacky" in AAA gamedev because the systems involved are so complex that their architecture has to be extremely robust to even be able to finish the game at all. In my opinion, other fields of programming have a lot to learn from the lessons of game development, but unfortunately gamedev is a bit of an insular field and there's not much cross-pollination between gamedev and other industries.

Or you could just look at it like this:

AAA Gamedev: Formula 1 car

Google / AWS : State of the art metropolitan high-speed rail system

Enterprise Software: Diesel bus service

Native apps and tools: Sedans, hatchbacks, vans, sports cars

Web apps: Bicycles

Electron apps: Bicycle with a lawnmower engine welded to the frame that tops out around 20mph and gets 3 miles to the gallon
It is that simple. And a bummer because I think HTML is a pain for things that aren't documents. And JS UI frameworks feel like hacks too.

Unity already supports the web, but I don't think that'll matter for AAA games. People who buy computers specifically to play them will care about the slight performance hit and not want to keep the games they bought and spend a lot of time with as bookmarks to web pages.
Non-performance intensive tools, even large ones, have already moved to the web. This will likely continue because there is not other platform delivering its level of portability and ease of delivery.

It's a bummer because the web just kind of sucks. It was made for documents, damn it.
Something like a java browser could've succeeded as jars are already very portable. This could've worked pretty well for small and large tools alike.
But since the HTML stack is already widely adopted I guess we'll have to make the pain go away somehow. At least webassembly solves the problem computationally intensive tasks.
The UI component is still quite a mess, but that's getting better too.
I just find it annoying that they have to call everything Web-(what it traditionally was). It's basically the new reality, being used on non-web platforms as well as on the web.
One more thing, I guess. I didn't have any trouble with the server at all, but those images can definitely be optimized. The total savings would be small, but percentagewise the savings becomes rather large. Start.jpg, for instance, at 49kb can become 10kb as a 6 color png. seq7.jpg is 222kb, but can become 42kb as a 16 color png, and so on. Even the images that work better as jpegs reduce half their bytes at 95% or 90% quality (recompressed obviously, since I don't have your originals) without looking different to my eyes.

The most frustrating part of the failed War on Drugs is that pain management doesn't have to be Sophie's choice between being in pain or being addicted to opiates, but thanks to a chilling effect on research due to the DEA's classification of cannabis as Schedule I, the mainstream medical establishment sees long-term opiate use to manage chronic pain as acceptable practice.

29 states plus Puerto Rico, Guam, and DC all recognize the medical benefits of cannabis including pain management. Presumably there's something when smoking the plant (whether THC or CBD, or some other as-of-yet undiscovered chemical) that's proven to be beneficial. In the face of the opioid epidemic, isn't it time for the DEA and the Federal government to think that there might be something to this stuff?

Instead, the current classification is that cannabis has a higher abuse potential than cocaine, Vicodin and methamphetamines!
I am advocating for a better UI that is clearly communicates what will happen when post is shared.

Sort of like Google Drive does it. Make it easy, sure, but let me know the trade offs.

There has to be something else going on, otherwise Greylock would have given them some kind of bridge. 4 weeks to revenue also doesn't mean 4 weeks to profitability. 70 employees in the Bay Area probably implies a burn rate north of $10mm annually.
Has she played any of the classic LucasFilm SCUMM based games? Or their predecessors, the text-based Infocom games like Zork?
Extremely far behind schedule, but for the apps it does work for it's not even that bad.
The android app architecture seems to require some heavy restructuring to do this though, so I don't think it will be attractive for developers. The portability problem of course holds this back from the insane adoption the web has gotten as well.
Basically it's too little, way too late.

I've been thinking lately there should be a file format that's just WebAssembly along with WebAssembly-versions of WebGL, Web Audio and WebRTC.

With the goal of making the runtime simpler to implement for non-browser venders. While browser vendors could add a profile to run the format.
You get several things with with Web Assembly that you don't get with a straight application:

* Easy distribution without installation

* No worries about dependencies for end users

* Much more consistent, and in most cases, better security

* Cross platform

* No walled gardens

The point is, part of the deal was that worthy individual would have a shot at being recruited instead of completely let go and TCS did not make a good faith effort as part of the deal, and the deal was for the optics. This is not a white or black thing as you are trying to interject race into this. Its more like, if I hire from India I do not have to pay "premium", that is the part of the discrimination. Even if Mr.Buchanan was Black Transgender Women with two kittens, he would not have a shot, the point is the he never had a shot at being re-employed under the new structure.
It's not either/or. The browsers will probably eventually be integrated into the OS until they are almost invisible. All apps will be web apps.

That is true, but the 535 other politicians are nearly all centrists or right wingers. Politicians are beholden to their donors. Eliminate the elite donor class, eliminate their interests being represented. I have some optimism that the Democratic party will be reconfigured to some degree.
