> there are emotionally ill people in the world. While some people focus on the psychopaths, there are also people who are depressed, sad, angry -- and want to be heard. They continue feeling this way no matter what your interaction with them is.

I don't think I agree that emotionally ill people feel the same way no matter how others interact with them, if that's what you mean. In fact, how others interact can have a large effect, IME. These are human beings who, like you and me and all the others, have many complex factors guiding them; they are not automatons, not solely creations of their illness.

Personally, I immediately kiss off ads. Ads as such in a game would be a distraction from game play. They would be actively resented. I don't think you could earn anything with conventional ads. I'm often wrong. Perhaps this time too. The major determinate of success would be how hard you pushed and how persistent you were. I don't think it would be easy.

100 Billion not spend on taxes that could benefit everyone, 100 billion on charging customers too much (because Apple obviously doesn’t need the money), 100 billion not spent on employees or hiring or R&D or keeping any of their product lines properly alive (hello Macs, hello software)
This will seem counter-intuitive but work on opening up strangers in public places, and your friends will end up gravitating towards you.

Gladwell observed in Tipping Point that most peoples' social circle is usually created by one high connection "maven" who connects many low connection end nodes. You want to try to move closer to how that maven operates.

Concretely: If you go out with a friend, and end up becoming buddies with the waitress, and then also know of an after party you can bring the friend to, by virtue of your network, you will constantly be getting solicited to hang out. Even more quantitatively: if you can average +2 casual connections per day when you try, you'll be doing very well. But two connections in a day is very difficult for most people on HN; you'll have to work and experiment on how to achieve that.
Depends on what is "easy" for you. Haskell is syntactically dense and can be obtuse in the hands of many authors, but on the other hand I find it easier to read well written Haskell because it's easier to break down into chunks. Similar for Lisp, keeping track of parentheses can be annoying but the regularity of S-expressions make it pretty easy to follow syntactically. I do agree it can be hard to get started in Haskell (though not so much Lisp, especially Scheme), but I think that's for other reasons that aren't really dependent on the syntax or readability.

I think we can all agree APL is incomprehensible moon language, though /s.

Not really no. I think at this stage, anyone at Google knows how it works. If you are ethically opposed to advertising, then Google may not the place you should choose to work at.

Google does not build a dossier up on individuals nor sell your data directly to advertisers. It collects signals about random cookie GUIDs and uses those to show ads about shoes that is trivial to opt out of and block.It does not know "who you are" (no names, no dates of birth etc - only guessed-at genders and ages brackets that are usually laughably out of whack) it just knows that a cookie has some vague city-level geo-location, watched some fashion videos on YouTube and searched for "shoes". Then advertisers can chose to show ads to people in New York who might want to buy a new handbag and that cookie is part of that potential audience.

Personally I do not see an ethical problem with cookie IDs. Please elaborate on what your ethical issues to random GUIDs are?

> It's not their job to push for societal changes really.

Somehow dozens of companies are discussing pushing for societal changes every day. Just recently a bunch of companies discussed severing ties with NRA (which didn't hurt a single living soul) and stopping selling firearms (which would not, indeed, lead to any societal change but at least the declared goal, even if unattainable, is to do exactly that). In another topic, there's a link on political manifesto by SO leadership. Social activism is everywhere in the business world. But when it's about something that may save somebody's life in Iran but cost some $$ to the company, it's suddenly "not their job". Nope, you can't do both. If companies avoided social activism altogether and were completely neutral and apolitical - I could accept that. They are not and haven't been for a long time. You can't just turn on one place and say "we do social activism everywhere but not where it can offend Iran". Or, you can, but that would be, as I said, cowardly and disgusting.

> When was the last time your car insurance company imposed a political opinion on you?

https://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/indusclient.php?id=F09

The idea that any apolitical company exists is fanciful. Simply giving employees the right to political opinions is hardly a reason to boycott the company; it's a reason to support it.

That said, Google's tolerance-but-only-for-tolerable-opinions is itself problematic.

Jesus, I can get that in Sweden for $100/mo. I've heard of the higher rates in the US, but I didn't expect the difference to be that much.
I think you are misunderstanding what is going on here.

The Signal client on your phone is connecting to a load balancer that Amazon owns. In the initial handshake it lies about what website it is trying to contact, claiming to be looking for an Amazon shopping site. Once the connection is fully established it says "just kidding I am actually trying to reach the Signal server hosted in AWS."

They are abusing a bug in Amazon's front end load balancers, having them route traffic in a way that wasn't intended. This is a warning to knock it off, while Amazon works on fixing that bug.
So is flying to Silicon Valley per an invite from Google regarding your blood/sweat/tears/dreams to discuss supposedly buying your app/technology only to then be baited by them in the meeting for your secret sauce which you divulge because this is your dream ... once divulged they kick you out and say the race is on.

Is that ethical... moral... just?

That's what happened to me in April 2013 when I was invited and met with Motorola/Google ATAP(https://ryanspahn.com/my-google-NDA-experience.html) re: my dream/blood/sweat/tears. Also they recently were awarded a patent for the exact same thing I created/met them about(https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/google-patent-speaker-m...).

Don't be evil ... HA
To all startup founders: if you think that any part of this mix of ethical infighting and jockeying for position among employees will be good for your venture, think again - do your business honestly and with integrity and focus single-mindedly on executing on a sound business model and the ethics will take care of itself. The rest is divisive and distracting. Perhaps Google is big and dominant enough to rise to a higher level but, for mere mortals, the tried and true way is probably the best.
We’ve always gotten this high and then housing would crash, the jobs would leave causing housing to fall, not the other way around.

It's worth noting that FreeBSD also had some RNG troubles quite recently (2017)[0] (talk: [1]). Personally, I don't think they were as severe as this. (But I am biased, I do FreeBSD development.) What I'm trying to say is, getting random right is hard. It's easy to produce something random-looking that isn't good enough.

JMG's FreeBSD 2017 RNG talk Tl;dr:

1. Boot-time entropy might leak on either UFS or ZFS; might be re-used in a byzantine ZFS environment. (Not addressed, as far as I know.)

2. Input entropy data (pre-whitening) had only about 0.18 bits of entropy per byte of input. NIST likes to see 4-6 bits per byte. (Not really an issue due to sufficient input volume.) Partially due to:

3. All the fast, high-quality sources of random entropy were accidentally disabled(!). (All the PURE_* ones, including x86 RDRAND.) Fixed in r324394.

4. Other low entropy structures were getting mixed in. Probably harmless, but reduces entropy-per-byte measure that NIST cares about. Fixed in r324372.

The earlier 2015 FreeBSD RNG issues were probably as severe as this Linux issue[2]:

> URGENT: RNG broken for last 4 months

> If you are running a current kernel r273872 or later, please upgrade
your kernel to r278907 or later immediately and regenerate keys.

> I discovered an issue where the new framework code was not calling
randomdev_init_reader, which means that read_random(9) was not returning
good random data. read_random(9) is used by arc4random(9) which is
the primary method that arc4random(3) is seeded from.

> This means most/all keys generated may be predictable and must be
regenerated. This includes, but not limited to, ssh keys and keys
generated by openssl. This is purely a kernel issue, and a simple
kernel upgrade w/ the patch is sufficient to fix the issue.

I said the fix was easy, not that people were actually fixing it. :/
It worked without unwanted side-effects? Wow.
OK, but google's approach is more akin to your car insurance company denying your business because they disagree with your political opinion bumper sticker and then refusing to tell you why.

Their position in the video market is such that they don't need to compete for content providers and that is a problem.

Yes. If they are recording, then they've given their consent to be recorded. There is no "I gave consent to be recorded by me but not by the other party"
Correct.

There is debate from other places of course, but 99% of people just get on with their job and leave the arguments up to those in MTV who give a shit. MTV can be very blinkered - rightly or wrongly the people there forget that people outside of SV - let alone outside of the USA - exist.
He's not wrong. If I'm going to be advertised to, I would prefer for it to be targeted.
Very rigorous as long as it doesn’t stray beyond the narrow-minded politics of Silicon Valley.
High turnover may indicate problems with culture/management/remuneration or a change in market conditions. It could just be coincidence. Or maybe they have learned great skills and are now in high demand.

My advice:

1) Keep an eye open and try to understand why people are leaving. If you haven't worked at many other Ozzie companies it will be difficult to gauge what it's like elsewhere. (But also remember the grass always seems greener on the other side).

2) If you're happy where you are it might pay off to stay put for a while - high turnover often brings opportunities for advancement and/or increased responsibility.
What about countless of other, not censored, services delivered from the same network? Do they not "improve lives" and "deliver benefit"? Collateral freedom is akin to placing your guerilla command center in a hospital, in a gamble that the other side will leave you alone instead of risking extra harm to innocent civilians. In this case, the hospital decided to disallow guerillas to use it as cover.
Some feedback:

This is not the venue to give company feedback. Just like some grandma asking for Facebook account support on an ad for Facebook.

STOP that.
As far as I know (which isn't very far, admittedly) they only really managed to reach parity with some performance gains over x86 in a few niches, but it's also a bit chicken-and-egg. It never had enough attention to really get the optimization and porting efforts it would have seen if it had been successful.
Facebook still has a complete image of the things you like, your social graph, intimate details about your marital status, mobility history, personal messaging and so on.

They can still build profiles orders of magnitude more relevant than, say, Google. The web tracking is just an optimization to get the types of data Google has, too.
Who would you rather be: the person who attributes their success to their actions, or the person who complains about not being successful?

You don't necessarily have control over whether you're successful, but you have a lot of control over how you see yourself and your personal narrative.
+1 to this.

I've been there 6 years and it has had essentially zero impact on me.

> Now imagine that that ad had instead said "Go to curb.app to get our app", and that said site had prominent links to mobile app stores.

Now imagine it's a year or two from now and you have the exact same problems that you had with curb.com.

What's the strategy for when .app gets mined out? Are we just going to keep creating new tlds over and over for eternity?

Bear in mind that the only way .app won't get mined out will be if either very few people use it, or if users ignore it and don't treat it any differently than any other namespace. Ironically, the only way this will be useful for developers like me is if Google's advertising campaign utterly fails and it's ignored by most people.

The solution to identity management can't be that users will stay one tld ahead of hackers. That's just never gonna happen. Users are slower than hackers.

I got that too, despite being already logged in to the site. I clicked on the PDF logo in the upper right corner, though, and was served the paper. Some bug, I guess.
Correct. And I would rather emphasise Tencent more. They did amazing security work in recent years, to me more impressive work than Google zero.
I'm sure engineers can figure that out, but I am thinking as soon as you'd hit Roma Street from either direction the path should go along the North and South Banks of the river.

Raised platforms in the city, say over Adelaide Street and Elizabeth Street along one way, and over Edward Street and George Street the other way, would be amazing. Just imagine.

I live in Nundah and work in Edward Street. Biking down Sandgate Road, Nudgee Road or Gympie Road in peak hour is suicidal. Back roads are not much better.
