That said, I think that a CTO of a 2 person company and a 500 person company deal with a few of the same issues, but a lot of the same responsibility (tech leadership, the final arbiter of tech decisions).
There were plenty of rumors of Apple moving to USB-C for the 2018 models too, and zero excuses for them not to.
This doesn't require a change of port on the phone, just a purchase of a different cable.
I'm confused, isn't exploding dots just binary?
"Perfectly reproduced" is a reach. "Reproduced with relief texture" is more accurate. A key reason these are inferior to hand-painted originals has less to do with snobbery and more to do material qualities of eg. oil paint and hand-stretched canvas. The idea that it is only elites who can tell the difference is an unsupported statement about art appreciation among the general population.
May I recommend the movie "Loving Vincent". Do note that the tale is not a happy one.

Maybe the brainwashing that is doing the most damage, is the ideation around, and elevation of, idols and figureheads. We can't seem to do anything in society unless an authority tells us its okay - or worse, not okay - to do it. This is both a blessing and a curse - sometimes we need figures to rally around. Other times, not so much.

So mostly I think the most damaging brainwashing going on is that of cult figureheads being elevated beyond their station. We see this everywhere - not just Silicon Valley. Literally, everywhere.

From the referenced article [https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...]:

> It is possible, however, that giant pterosaurs represent old, flightless individuals of a species that were capable of flight when younger, their flight anatomy simply being retained from a previous stage in their life history. However, if the maximum flight sizes suggested by Sato et al. [17] and Chatterjee and Templin [19] are correct at 41kg (5.1 m span) or 70 kg (6.65 m with ‘heavy’ estimates), then the largest azhdarchids would have grown up to six times the mass and twice the wingspan of their terminal flight size. It seems unlikely that enormous azhdarchids would continue to develop their physiologically expensive flight apparatus, and coincidentally with a mechanically appropriate scaling regime, throughout such extensive growth under flightless conditions. The same point is true, though to a lesser extent, for large Pteranodon that also bear obvious flight characteristics despite having exceeded the suggested wingspan limits of flight. If anything, the scaling regimes of pterosaur wings dictate that the flight characteristics of giant pterosaurs (the size of their deltopectoral crests, robustness of their joints) - become more exaggerated with size and age (e.g. [76]), precisely the opposite of what would be expected in animals that lost their flight ability as they grew older.

This doesn't help me understand the physics of large flying reptiles, but it does make a plausible argument that they were in fact real.
Apparently you can debug ios and tvos wirelessly now.
I know a lot of regular people who got external Firewire drives with their Macs in the late 00's. My dad has a good pile with old photos on them.
That's what the article is calling for, another vote. Presumably their parliament would have to authorize it--the same as they did the first vote.
This is what I've been saying. I don't want 4 USB-C ports and a headphone jack. I want none.

I get that they might be needed for external displays or maybe for spectrum cramped offices, but what I need more than anything is more battery. I want a MBP that can actually last a 10 hour work day.
Some good reasons for plugging in are:

Transferring photos off the device (image capture)

Backing up to encrypted iTunes (AFAIK the only way to fully back up everything including wifi passwords and health data)

iOS development in xcode

Charging

USB tethering instead of wifi tethering

Pushing mp3 files on to the device via iTunes

Except that they created that market out of thin air. It's great for Apple to sell wireless gear, but they could have left the jack in, no problem, if it weren't a money grab.
That's a bit inflated. That's l4 comp, whereas very junior would be l3 comp, which is a bit less (120-140 base and much less equity).

It gets confusing because of stock lettering and such.
If you are interested in the problem domain of the startup, do the startup. If you aren't interested in it, it's not your life passion, don't do it. You will learn more at the startup about the tech game in general, but that knowledge will only be worth something if it is part of a longer term strategy as no one startup is an assured success. Also, there is risk in joining a startup. I'm not talking about the financial risk, I'm talking about the risk of you joining some startup that has no good mentors to learn from, and, while you will certainly have more "change control" than at a large company, what point is that if you are constantly making the wrong changes? Unless you're a person that likes to (and can) learn on their own the hard way. Prepare yourself for the possibility that you may be the only one you can "fall back on".

Google, on the other hand, will provide a different kind of education. You'll generally learn the same amount of information but it will be more specialized and the pace will generally be slower (which can be a good thing). There will be less pressure on "getting something done and working" and more pressure on "doing the right thing". These two characteristics are often directly opposed which is why a lot of people who like startups say they hated Google and vice versa. The negative in that being if you spend several years specializing in a very bespoke part of Google, you won't be any more prepared to either join a startup or start your own -- the only way to get startup experience is to work for one. In fact, although people may respect that you've worked at Google, in my experience ex-Googlers aren't an assured success as startup employees and are no better as founders than someone coming from any of the other large companies. It can be a shell-shock coming from Google where there is a lot of support to join a startup where there is no support and you must loosen your standards and understand where you can and cannot cut corners. Also those people who make excellent early stage startup employees often don't survive the transition to behemoth tech company.
I find Ben Eater's 8-bit computer from scratch series really wonderful, mainly because of his skills as an educator and the effort he puts into the material: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyznrdDSSGM&list=PLowKtXNTBy...

Yeah, I have the same problem. Cords on my headphone are always the first to go. But it's not really an issue, my cheap pairs are cheap enough that I don't care, and higher quality headphones have detachable cords that can be replaced.
I left OVH years ago after several outages (network, electricity and sometimes hardware failures)
Also the OVH support was between horrible to nonexistent.

>However, AirPods don't require the removal of the headphone jack! The removal of the headphone jack is still so consumer hostile

This is key. When they removed the disc drive in the macbooks there was a decent argument to be made about more space for other ports (or reduced thickness). But the 3.5 mm headphone jack is literally... 3.5 mm, right? Another commentor even pointed out that the new iphones are thicker than the 6 line. I just dont ubderstand the argument here.
Legally, Brexit was more like an opinion poll. The proper response would have been to recognize the slim majority's interest in leaving, negotiate a Brexit deal before committing to leaving-no-matter-what, and then put that detailed deal to the voters in a legally binding referendum so they could actually know what they're voting for.

What frustrates me is the low threshold required for the original vote. 50%. You can't change the US constitution without 2/3rds majority. Of all the things wrong with US politics, this is one thing they got right.

There's also criticism of a second vote as undermining the will of the people (by running as many votes as required to get the outcome desired by the govt). Well, my thoughts on that are: If it's such a contentious issue that the general populous is itself lacks overwhelming commitment to the proposal, then maybe it's not such a good idea in the first place. It's too fundamental of an issue.

(I intended to vote leave as a protest vote against the EU, but ultimately voted remain when the polls showed it too close for comfort. I'm not entirely happy with how the EU operates, but would prefer we worked within the EU to address the issues)
"Not having a headphone jack" doesn't imply "Lightning connector headphones", though. Plenty of other phone manufacturers are also shipping phones without headphone jacks now. They tend to ship with earbuds that have a micro-USB or USB-C connector; which have a DAC inside; and where said DAC uses the USB audio standard.

That being said, there's nothing stopping Apple from making earbuds with a Lightning connector that are USB Audio compatible as well. There's nothing about the "Lightning protocol" that makes this impossible. They just... didn't, with their current Lightning earbuds. Maybe the number of people it would benefit didn't outweigh the cost-savings of eliminating USB signalling components, or added too much audio-latency, or something.

Just checked and was also happy to see YouTube now also has the original Cosmos with Carl Sagan available [1]. It's more of a general interest series, but simultaneously also one of the most inspiring and thought provoking things I've ever watched. I couldn't recommend it more to anybody who's never seen it.

I mean if you prefer old technology, that's all good. No one is stopping you from using your old headphones with your old phone.

The convenience of not having to untangle headphones, not accidentally yanking them out of a device when walking away, or being able to exercise with a device sitting somewhere else in the room is a welcome innovation IMO.

Yes, apple forced people's hand with removing the port (They aren't making these products for fun) to make money, but when has a business made bold moves if it didn't mean making money in the long run? When apple started removing ports, I bought stock, which payed for my new headphones.
What I don't understand is why wasn't the referendum invalidated after it became clear that:

- The leave campaign misinformed the public (e.g. the UK would have £350million per week to spend on the NHS when leaving the EU) [0]

- Public was potentially manipulated by 'marketing' tactics developed by Cambridge Analytica [1]

And why weren't the people responsible for the leave campaign held accountable or even prosecuted for misleading the public.

On these grounds alone a 2nd vote should be held.

I have considered getting an artist to reproduce a Van Gogh the old fashioned way - painting it.

Never went ahead with the idea but I assume (I am not a painter) that modern high quality oils would allow a reasonably talented artist to repro a Van Gogh to a sufficiently accurate degree. I just need it to "fool" me, not an expert.
Nobody is actually disagreeing that Google is making a public CA, as it is in the body of the article, and is written by a Google employee. Rather niftich didn't read the article (and is common on HN) and wanted to say thee title wasn't accurate.

You're welcome to revert it back to the original title ('Google CA') as you mention.
Add to this the tendency to promote quality engineers to mediocre or outright bad managers. I witnessed a bad manager destroy the Google careers of virtually every engineer on his team.

Still, I would strongly recommend accepting the offer. Despite the drawbacks it's a great learning experience.

Literally every day on my bike ride to 4th and king Caltrain, as I pull up to the intersection, a Lyft or Uber waiting at the stoplight will pop a right side door on me as a completely unaware passenger tries to hop out.

I feel bad for the driver cause it's not like they can make the passenger wait for the red light so they can pull up to the actual drop off point, so I usually skid to a stop right next to the door shouting my head off in a "panic" to give everyone a good morning wake up call.

I just want to drop this article about the benefits and detriments of working at a startup:

https://www.atrium.co/blog/work-at-a-startup/

I would also add that working at a startup gets harder and harder the bigger your monthly expenses are, so the earlier you can try that the better (source: I am in my 40s and recently left a startup that I believe in because of financial and family reasons).
You realize that you replied to a point saying "I will have to pay for vRack to setup a private network and is more complicated." with a link to vRack, right?
I think the distinction is shame vs guilt society if anything. Guilt is more intrinsic while shame is more external socially. China is more shame with their concept of face. Telling the customers their meal might be a bit late is loss of face even if it arrives on time. Insisting everything is fine and stalling up until it may or may not arrive is the "proper" thing to do.

Essentially that seems promotes both "do what it takes" and "do what you can get away with".
That is a server operating system. I suppose it would be more precise to call it a respin or something, but it would also be more verbose and harder for the general public to grok.

Like many questions, it would be easier to answer if we knew what your goals were. Do you want to grow into being the lead software person in a small company? Found your own place? Be a contributor in a large space? Work in academia? Teach? Be a digital nomad? Do design-driven web work? There are hundreds of choices of where you can end up. And they all result in different answers. So if you'll pardon a cliched question -- where do you want to be in 5 years? What would that person know? The answer to that question is what you should be studying.

But then the argument becomes rather different. It is no longer a question of "If that's the law then it is not Amazon's fault". It has moved on to "Can we get away with coercing the government into allowing us to break the law".

That is morally a lot more challenging, and there is nothing in the managements fiduciary responsibilities that compels them to break laws. Nothing. Indeed the responsibility to shareholders is more complex anyway, aggressive tax planning may for instance damage your brand and reduce the future profitability.

I never understand why people get so upset at bikers, people who just don't want to be killed by a vehicle going 3x as fast as they are weighing 200x as much. Or skateboarders, who hardly travel faster than an average pedestrian anyway.

Do you really just want to see more bikers and skaters killed? Because that's the primary outcome of "wheels belong on the road". What you're arguing for is unprotected human beings getting ground into the pavement by a machine that may not even feel the impact.

The fact that most of the US forces bikes to behave like cars is one of the worst urban policies we've ever come up with, and is responsible for untold numbers of deaths and serious injuries. A bicycle is not a car and should not share road space with cars unless pedestrians would also be forced to share road space with a car. Compared to 3000lb machines capable of maintaining speeds over 100mph, there is absolutely no difference between a bicycle and a pedestrian. They all bounce off the windshield exactly the same.

"Get these bikes and scooters off my sidewalk" translates directly to "I don't care if these bikers or scooter riders get killed as long as it doesn't inconvenience me".

OVH is probably a bad example, they targeted mostly French and East Europeans willing to setup file sharing among friends.

They are still rebooting your servers if you happen to block ICMP requests, in an attempt to bring them back to live.

Yes, they diversified, but the spirit stayed.

Hetzner is much more professional, they targeted big file sharers and the porn industry from the inception.

Google's in-house tools are generally stronger than the publicly available stuff across the board. Ex-Googlers are more often frustrated not by a lack of ability with those tools, but knowing what they can't do with them.

Backing out of everything at Amazon could prove difficult.

You are absolutely right. But this is a problem that was solved once before. It was plain old "mail order."

What Amazon built is an amazing logistics platform. But it got polluted by individual sellers and fly-by-night operations. Imagine ordering from a Sears catalog and not knowing if what you ordered is genuine or not.

If Amazon, or some other company, put together a platform that leverages modern-day logistics for small businesses, it would be a massive boost to the quality of what we buy, the variety of what we buy, and the small business economy.

Think of it as 21st-century mail order. Except instead of Amazon monopolizing the front end with an enormous shopping web site filled with garbage, it allows individual shops to use their own web sites on the front, and Amazon's distribution on the back end.

Amazon can keep the bulk of the crap on the front side and continue to co-mingle counterfeit garbage with quality merchandise. But at the same time allow individual merchants the ability to piggy back on its distribution.

And if Amazon doesn't want to do it, maybe FedEx or UPS, or some other company. I see lots of ads about "What can Brown do for you?" and a lot of promises. But I've never seen a company offer Amazon-class logistics that work.

If I can order a real item by phone, text, web, or whatever comes next from a small shop in Portland, Oregon and have it arrive from that store in the next day or two, I would certainly choose that over taking a chance going to a massive web site and getting a cheap knockoff drop-shipped from China.

The roadway is devoid of pedestrians, sure, but it's full of far more deadly predators.

A bike going 10mph is going to be able to stop faster, maneuver quicker, and do a lot less damage to a pedestrian if they hit them than a car going 55mph would to a biker going 10mph.
