> all of these developers lacked experience.

This is nothing knew unfortunately.

Working for large corporations I've often notice this :

Either the devs on the project don't have the required experience and will deliver poor quality code creating immediate "legacy" , or either it'll be outsourced to another company with no governance plan to review the code quality creating a "black box".

Because there is very little standard and regulation in software industry about competence, you can have two devs claiming they are "Software Developer" with one able to deliver a full project by himself the and the other not capable of creating a simple web page in HTML.

Hence , I've noticed very little company understand the importance of "tech" , "IS Governance" and investing in their staff in general, they often see "tech" as a constraint like : "We have to do a website for our customers , otherwise we'll loose market share" and not "We have to seize the opportunity to create a platform for our customers, it will drive growth massively"

This is sad , but this is pretty much the standard in corporation these days.
Oh hell yes. They made a mistake, try to fix it, and the problem was gone in the next iteration.

One thing is to receive a benefit given by your prior public roles (serving society).

Another thing is to actively pursue money at the expense of everything else.

Your comment looks rather short-sighted in this regard.
True, but raw GPS works well enough in cell dead spots on my car, so I probably wouldn’t notice the difference.

The other problem is that they’d likely log the GPS track, and upload it all at once if anyone ever re-enabled cell data, which kind of defeats the whole thing.

Maybe the switch would have to be for all the radios (even FM, Bluetooth, etc, if yo want to be extra tin foil hatty).

Even with that, commercial license plate cameras still would track the car.

I’m beginning to think the only solution is legislative (probably via direct democracy, because Silicon Valley corporate lobbyists are too powerful these days...)
This is some extreme free-market populism. Granular detection and exploition of "temporary localized monopolies" possible thanks to invasive tracking and profiling will make people go bankrupt, get hurt, or die, will make the society as a whole more miserable. Victim of such manipulation is in no fault.

This is a personal attack: "It seems you don’t understand (or more likely you don’t want to understand)."

And this breaks the site guideline against calling names in arguments, as well as returning to personal attack: "Otherwise, please stop spreading bullshit".

If you’re an amateur or a hobbyist then these excuses are all just fine. Stuff is hard. But a professional should not being doing this sort of thing - we’re literally talking about copying something labelled do not do this. The moment you ignore that warning is the moment you’ve forsaken your professional development. This problem only compounds.

That said, a professional can still cut corners as and when appropriate (and clearly label and explain such things) but that’s not what’s happening here, is it?

The advice I would give in this situation is simple: stop and think about what you’re doing. If you can’t do that, you’re not a professional, you certainly shouldn’t call yourself an engineer and without that skill you stand no chance of improving.

How should a resume look like today ?
This is a really interesting idea, but I have a fundamental disagreement about society. I completely agree that small groups (family and very small collections of families) would have relied on social acceptance as being important, but I would argue that the giant leap forward that actually created society was specifically working with people without concern for acceptance.

Look at chimps for instance. They also form these very small groups that can number in the tens of chimps. But their little groups are based almost entirely on acceptance and domination, and it prevents them from developing further. They instead just go to war and kill other chimp groups that reach these comparable sizes. And it never ends. They cannot seem to get over 'in group good, out group die'.

By contrast, it seems extremely likely that we all started extremely similarly but at some point realized that instead of each of our little in groups killing each other, if we worked together we would become even stronger and able to kill even more groups to our mutual benefit. Add in some basic rules we agree to abide by, and you have what would be the seed of what would become 'society.'

So as paradoxical as it sounds, I would argue that directly seeking approval as a means of self affirmation could even be a regression away from what creates society. Because working with the 'enemy' is hardly socially acceptable, yet that is precisely what's required for societies to continue to function. You'll never be accepted by everybody so it drives people into ever smaller insular chambers, which then go to metaphorical war with all the other groups, that may over time become less metaphorical. Come to think of it, this does not really seem all that far off from the state of contemporary society.

So I would hypothesize something relatively similar sounding, but fundamentally different. In that social media is perhaps driving some to form these 'chimp style' groups, yet the nature of the internet and worldwide communication has turned these warring insular groups drive largely by acceptance, from the tens of people into the millions of people.
Couple of things I’m wondering about....

What constitutes an exploding offer? Is it a 3 day deadline? 1 week? 2 weeks? 3? Personally, anything less than 2 weeks seems rushed to be making a decision that could cost me $10K or more over the next year. I feel like 3 weeks should be enough to wrap up any open recruitment processes, and 6 weeks is downright absurd, but I don’t have a good sense of the issue overall.

Also, if merely mentioning having an on-site can get me a $5k increase, why not just bluff?

> Go’s module system should not have to give consideration to the particular transport you want to use.

> Its references are canonical and it’s up to you to set up the relevant process for it to retrieve the source for those references.

Git has a proper notion of references; it properly separates transport from references of remotes. Go uses just `https://` links, and expects the website to have a single `<meta>` tag containing a vcs clone URL (i.e., transport) to use. VCSes have had separation and multiplicity of transport for a long time, but Go will deal with only one URL (i.e., transport), with no way for the user/distributor to specify preferences otherwise.

For example, everything from git.kernel.org to github.com allows the user to chose which URL to clone with. The remote is not supposed to know or dictate a single transport.

I think `go get`'s limited method of transport discovery is just a hack that got released into production and stagnated in its form. It was a perfectly fine hack for public repos (on the internet or on Google's intranet), but it just never got any features (let alone documentation) specifically for repos that need an authenticated way to clone them. The fact that git has a nifty way to rewrite URLs is just a luck.
>You can be like Linode, fuck up everything over and over again and still do just fine.

The comment was specifically directed at you and it was an appeal to conscience.

> "In fact you have a long history of making things up about HN moderation, posting them, and continuing to repeat the false claims when corrected."

That's quite a claim. Outsiders are not privy to your moderation actions, the weighting algorithms of the site or who is flagging which stories. Conjectures about an opaque system aren't fabrications. They're good faith conjectures.

What can be known is which stories have comments from mods saying they've turned off flags. Many address political and cultural issues of Silicon Valley, which is essentially the first world of the first world.

> "You also have a long history of using HN for political battle about China."

What I attempt to do is voice minority opinions that I believe are true. Nothing more, except a deep concern for human rights which unfortunately does tend to intersect with news about China. It's admirable to address the authoritarianism and even ethnonationalism of the US administration, as your team has. It's also absurd to simultaneously label any discussion of far more authoriarian and ethnonationalism of the CCP or others as "political battle".

Absolutely nothing in my comment above was "political battle". I saw a thread about the detention of a million human beings with over 170 upvotes that was already buried in less than a day and commented. It's sad so many can be so worked up about the struggles of some of the most advantaged people in the world and yet be numb to the detention of so large a number of our human cousins while their families are forced to house government minders.

Financial incentives cannot prove any wrong-doing of course, but they are corrosive. I believe the point of the previous comment likely stands, but these two questions should illuminate:

1) Has HN ever (whether through automated or other means) quickly buried any similarly popular story about people in a western country being similarly wronged at this scale?

2) Can you truthfully deny that YC has had any dealings with the Chinese government or state-owned enterprises, or has any economic incentives at stake in dealing with news the CCP doesn't like?

If the answer to either is yes, I'll gladly apologize and retract the comment (but not my sympathy for the subjects of this BBC article).

Edit: this comment on a week-old post, which breaks no site guidelines AFAICT, was flagged in under an hour. :/

Note that while St Martin is an oversea collectivity, whereas we consider Guiana to be an actual part of France not a territory or collectivity or dependance or ... (the same way we did with Algeria).

So France the (geo)political entity and France the country absolutely has a border with Brasil, and it is its largest land border.
Sometimes there is blame, though. Sometimes a root cause is simply that a person or group was not competent in their execution of a task. I think there's a middle ground between never holding anyone accountable and the desperate situation you describe.
> I live on a river, and we can’t swim after a heavy rain because of all the crap washed into the river from upstream farms. If I had property rights in the water, I could sue those farmers, and the price of food would rise to reflect the externalities of farming.

This is a thought-provoking argument. But if you had property rights, could you not also restrict access to the river so that no one else could swim on it? And what if you don't care to swim in your river but are fine with accepting upstream pollution in exchange for payment from the polluters? What if a big agro-conglomerate simply buys the river?

It seems to me that key to the traditional riperian doctrine you cite is not property rights so much as the legal regulation:

> property owners cannot impair the quality of water flowing through their land

If water quality must be maintained, what does it matter whether it is individual property owners or the EPA taking up the cause? If we can imagine a future where riperian doctrines could be retightened to strengthen the rights of downstream property owners, why not imagine one where a properly managed and funded state or federal agency takes responsibility?

Computing, climate change, and all our relationships – Nabil Hassein
I agree, but this is the root of my dilemma from which my own understanding has grown.

If I agree with you right here and now, have we not technically formed our own 'echo chamber'?

Echo chambers from the outside look like inside out fishbowls because they are. But every set of agreeable statements, whether shared between individuals or distributed through time, same system - pieces are just labeled differently.

However, I do understand the emotional feeling that occurs when conforming is heavily pressured, from nearly every side. That's disharmonous emotionally to the people it is disharmonous to. The ones who get silenced.

I understand both sides. Can't say I know more than that. Can't say I have an opinion on the matter because it goes beyond the facts.

Another way to look at the problem: are math and logic an echo chamber?

This happened to my partner. He was upset and I was as shocked as the author. Another job at a small company. We came to the conclusion that it was an extreme jerk move on the part of the company owner and they did us an enormous favor by removing themselves from our lives. The experience taught me to always attempt to negotiate, if for nothing else than to weed out the insane employers who will no doubt throw you under the bus at the first convenient moment.
I work in AI research (the symbolic, tree exploration kind, not machine learning) and go solves most of my problems in this domain, because it is productive enough to let me try new algorithms all the time, yet fast enough to let me actually test those algorithms.

But sometimes it is not fast enough, and rust hits that sweet spot I need, offering both extreme speed (you can hardly go any faster in execution speed or memory management) and good enough productivity (something I can't achieve in C or C++ for various reasons, although they would be my second choice if I couldn't use rust for some reason).

So, I tend to use rust for not-super-low-level stuff (quite the opposite, actually), but this is somehow a last-recourse choice for me (I'd rather use go if I can, for productivity reasons).

Most companies in the entire world, or most companies that we talk about here on HN?
Personal preference. I like a distinct "click" over mushy keys.
I don't like how this starts out. Ratcheting up the pressure on how critical it is for you to negotiate from the get-go in your career, as if it's going to somehow compound down the road.

That's only true if you're planning to stay at the same company forever. You can ask for whatever you want in your next interview. It's nobody's business how much you made in the past.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't negotiate, I'm saying it's okay if you didn't.

That's the kind of thing that pisses me off. I'm more than willing to do business with companies who have had security breaches as long as they've learned from the mistake and corrected it. Target had a massive security breach and they overhauled their entire IT security infrastructure and replaced all their POS systems. Good. I still shop at Target occasionally. Home Depot had a breach and their executives said "this was expected, we aim for a C level of security not an A level" and didn't want to spend additional money on security. That's unacceptable to me. Linode had a security breach and said "it's fine, it only impacted a few people and they only lost tens of thousands of dollars" and then they got breached again and said "yeah but it's not our fault that we use an unpatched version of ColdFusion for our admin portal". They never took ownership of their security issues. That's unacceptable to me. Equifax got breached again during their other damn breach investigation and who here remembers that Equifax even made the news? No one. A year later it's a non-event.

Unfortunately, most people don't share my beliefs so Linode and Equifax get away with it, and Home Depot's "it's not worth it to invest in security because there's no ROI" is completely true. Unless companies pay a heavy (I'd say existential) penalty for lack of security, nothing will change.
Back when I had the Circle K app on my phone it had this knack of offering me a free drink coupon right after I just stopped at one of their stores, refilled my drink cup and made it a mile or two down the road. Happened so often I just deleted the thing since that's the only time it offered me anything free and the only reason I had the app was for the free stuff.

I'm kind of liking "poisoning the well" on the customer tracking these days, when I'm not working I rarely carry my cellphone but when I do I go so many places there's no value in the data points I generate because it's so random that 8-10 hours of location data can only hinder their algorithms.

I dont think it is physics. People are eating dinner outside in good weather. There is also a group dynamic. Some people call on speakerphone and it is obvious they are just showing thier dinner guests that they know my phone extension. That senario, the likelihood that people are eating dinner as a group outside, is the best means of prediction. We alter our operations as best we can accordingly.

> Volker's plan of raising interest rates massively would cost him (Carter) re-election. I believe he would have survived even the Iran crisis but for that, but it was the right thing to do. Reagan got all the credit for it since it started under Carter's watch and finished under Reagan's.

It's hard to take this as anything but partisan spin.

These issues are never black & white and there is hardly consensus on what you wrote.

There are many who believe his raising interest rates to nearly 20% where fundamental in resulting unemployment to 11% & causing a recession.

Note to say those people are right either.

Just that it's complicated, there are compounding factors & many POVs.
