iPhone XS: Why It’s a Whole New Camera
Perhaps that mode could be called full disk encryption?

All humans inside the US border have the fifth amendment right to remain silent, so handing over encryption passwords to the CBP is a choice.

Unfortunately, the 5th amendment doesn't apply in New Zealand - if you remain silent at a NZ airport while customs ask for your password, they will impose a $5000 fine on you. The only viable solution I see is to only travel to places that do have 5th amendment protection or similar (which would immediately rule out Britain, Ireland, Australia, and now NZ as well).
Exactly. Why do you think Canada is exempt from a number of US border requirements (e.g. ETSA). It’s not out of the US goodness of their heart. It’s because the US and Canada freely share information.

Fortunately, there is a number of static hosting providers that are better than the old generation nowadays (e.g. GitHub pages, Netlify, Aerobatic). I just hope the content archive is not going to be lost.
BetterUp | Software Engineer (Full-Stack or Front-End) | Remote | Full-time | https://www.betterup.co/

BetterUp is a coaching platform that brings personalized professional coaching to employees at all levels. We help managers lead better, teams perform better, and employees thrive personally and inspire professionally. Our mission is to help people everywhere pursue their lives with greater clarity, purpose, and passion, so our product was developed by a team of leading behavioral scientists, researchers, and technologists. We're already transforming the way companies approach talent development at high-performing organizations like LinkedIn, Salesforce, Capital One, Deloitte, and Logitech among many others.

We’re looking for people who can:

- Act as an owner - It’s not done until it’s in production. Adept at moving projects forward and able to unblock projects regardless of role on the project.

- Do less, deliver more - Familiar with the terms YAGNI and yak shaving? Focus your efforts on high impact initiatives that really move the needle.

- Impress yourself - We hold ourselves to a quality above and beyond something that “just gets it done”. Each line of code is an opportunity to blend craftsmanship with playfulness.

- Collaborate without ego - Willing to take on roles small or large in order to further the mission at hand.

- Stay on your edge - Continuously learning and applying emerging technologies. Pushing yourself and your team to new heights.

Our stack is primarily Ruby on Rails, Ember.js, Gitflow, AWS, and Docker and we prioritize keeping our dependencies up to date while we work in an iterative, collaborative CI/CD process. We provide amazing benefits (unlimited vacation, volunteer days), but if you ask the team they’ll tell you that the greatest benefit we offer employees is an incredibly meaningful mission and transformative work.

This looks quite cool. Has anyone participated in this before?

I'd be interested to hear from the perspective of people submitting PRs and from the perspective of people maintaining repos that got submissions from new contributors because of Hacktoberfest.
I think an MBA is great in addition to other training or you have some work experience. I think what most people object to is people who only have an MBA and immediately get into leadership roles. A leader should have some experience how things are on the bottom before they start to lead.
Comments like this will only lead to arguing/flaming/etc.
Why not also provide the same high-quality cars, housing, jobs etc to everyone?

Hint: communism doesn't work.

Also, the reality is you have to prioritize. A public health-care system has a limited amount of money (by definition) and needs to spend it in a carefully balanced way. E.g. you'd rather operate/save a kid than a 90 year old person. Another example is, governments "advise" citizens to do preventative exams based on cost-efficiency, not on "best quality healthcare" - it's simply unrealistic to perform a mammography on 50% of the older than 25 population every year. But if someone wants to do that, and can pay for the costs themselves, why would I, you or the government limit their freedom?
No offense, but "let's give the poor people cryptocurrency" reads a lot like the start of a satire piece, a lampoon of out-of-touch Bay Area tech culture denizens.
Since Vorbis, we've all worked to make the codec code as restriction free as possible because we need wide deployment for success. It's more important for a royalty-free codec to win than for these codebases to be copyleft. Once AV1 is the default solution, we can start worrying about software licenses :)

"value"

Today the only measure of "value" is the money it brings. Imagine of museums, archeology, libraries, archivist would only be thinking along those lines as well.

Geocities had a lot of value, and, unlike physical bookshelves, it would have been very simple to keep it going as static, read-only sites. Same applies here.

It's all just points, man. The situation you describe is almost completely depersonalized, if not dehumanized.
Those characteristics are compelling but unrealized. Your approach strikes me as roughly equivalent to premature optimization. The technical aspects of cryptocurrency that make it interesting are (or at least should be) secondary to the primary goal of actually helping in the present. The answer to your question - how to give crypto to people in need - is to convert it to cash and then give it to them.
There are probably other costs such as upgrading servers and responding to various legal requests. Legal compliance with respect to changing laws might be a reason why read-only content can not persist forever.
The complaint usually comes in due to an interpretation of "free."

The author includes RMS' opinion, which is true for this particular piece of software, though in many cases it's a warranted complaint. It gets into a political argument usually, but it boils down to this argument: "If I don't require copyleft, then I can't always guarantee that users of my code will get all the freedoms I provided to them."
I did that for a while. But it's still quite a bit of work to get the phone ready after it has been wiped.
This reminds me that I thought I could mount a CD burner from one computer in the house as a “network drive” so that I could burn CDs from a different computer. Good times.

First of all you get an MDM service. Doesn’t matter which one but these days this is essentially a requirement. Some MDM’s with good reputation in macadmins community are AirWatch, Jamf, SimpleMDM, MicroMDM (open source).

You then add a couple of more components to get some more enterprise features: Munki for software distribution (free and open source), Chef or Puppet for configuration management (both free and open source) and osquery for monitoring and visibility (free and open source).
Hmm Time Machine Server. That would come in handy for backing up my laptop automatically to my desktop instead of plugging in a usb hard drive once in a while.

Anyone has experience with that? Can I trust it?

Pioneer | Frontend, Full-stack, Data Science | Open Source | San Francisco | Full Time | https://pioneer.app

We’re building a community of creative young people working on interesting projects around the globe. We use software and ML to find people that lack opportunity but have great talent and ambition. We give them small grants to support their work and try to use various gamification techniques to keep them motivated on their project. Our goal is to be counterfactually significant in the creation of the next Albert Einstein, Marie Curie or Elon Musk.

In the short term our technical challenges are equal parts computer science and human psychology. How do you build a product that can identify greatness? How do you then motivate people to become the best version of themselves? If you were building the Harvard campus, but entirely online, could you make it work?

It requires great intuition and solid engineering. We work in Python, Ruby and Javascript.

Email us at jobs+hn@pioneer.app. Thanks!
My casual observation is that these programs are not taken as seriously (likely because the reduce time commitment is seen as less rigorous) and therefore the payback is more difficult to achieve.
You can say that about most degrees, though. I know plenty of advertising degrees who are waiting tables. I know plenty of CS grads who are stocking shelves. I know mechanical engineers who deliver pizza. I know people with just high school diplomas who make six figures in the Midwest (a lot of money for a cheap area of the country).

No degree guarantees you a job, there's always work and ambition and a lot of luck and timing that factor into anyone's career success.

Wondering aloud, I recently ran into an issue with Spotify randomly playing one specific artist repeatedly. Cannabis club, which was corroborated by other users recently. After resetting my password it seems to have subsided.

The rub is that my Spotify account started as an FB passport, but my FB account has been deleted for over a year at this point. Why does it seem like my FB data is still being used somehow?
A key problem is that discriminated-against groups may actually do worse when evaluated anonymously merit-only basis. (There was a study, but I don't have the link.)

Perhaps a better question would be, why aren't companies snapping up these superior candidates that are being discriminated against? Capitalists aren't know for leaving money on the table.

it's completely unknowable. ARR is not enough data.
I think the bulk of the antipathy is directed toward the Excel/SAS jockeys who blindly use metrics to force an "improvement" in the business without understanding the business they are supposedly skilled at managing. Then there are those who want to make themselves look valuable by instituting change for change's sake.
This also happens to systems administrators. If the network works well you get asked what you are doing the whole day since everything works fine. Time to cut support staff.
Maybe I’m just too old or unimaginative, but none of these objections seem like serious showstoppers to me. This is straying far from the original topic but now I’m curious: How would you survive if you were to accidentally lose your phone while traveling, or if it got stolen? One can (and should) be capable of being a functioning adult without a cell phone.
Articles like this makes me wonder how much do we really know?
From the detailed writeup (https://www.nobelprize.org/uploads/2018/10/advanced-medicine...):

"Inactivation of the Ctla4 gene in
mice, performed in the laboratories of Arlene
Sharpe and Tak Mak, confirmed and further
substantiated its negative regulatory role, since
these mice developed very severe autoimmune
disease associated with proliferating T cells (Tivol
et al., 1995; Waterhouse et al., 1995)."

"In the first-in-man study MDX-010 was given to 9
patients in a phase I clinical trial at a single dose
of 3 mg/kg and a response was observed in
some melanoma patients (Hodi et al., 2003). The
same year complete regression was reported in
another trial in some treated melanoma patients,
while severe autoimmune side effects were also
observed (Phan et al., 2003)."

So I wouldn't take it "just in case" like a daily multivitamin. Plus, monoclonal antibodies are expensive!
In the situation where it is prohibitively expensive to get money or supplies into a place what are you expecting these people to spend their cryptocurrency on?
This part is kinda annoying:

"Send me updates related to the Hacktoberfest community, open source, and products from DigitalOcean."

I'd love to get updates about the Hacktoberfest community and open source, but I don't want to hear marketing from DO.
I've never quite gotten the hang of `git add -p`, so I use `git gui` (incl. with Homebrew version of git, among others), or other tools that let me do partial staging/unstaging via line-selection with a mouse. It's a handy way to onboard oneself to such a powerful capability, if one feels a bit overwhelmed by the relatively complex UX of the CLI approach.
Should've kept it simple and bought an island.
FWIW, I'm in Western Europe, and "social media"-free (besides occasional use of HN) for about good five plus years. Not that I was a ravenous user before that.

Happy to report that overall well-being, reading pleasure and concentration levels have measurably increased. (I "just" need to continue to peacefully sustain it.)

PS: Normally, at this hour I would be at my Dutch class; but tonight it was "interim feedback day". And it was done in 40 minutes, instead of the regular 3 & 1/2 hour lesson; hence I'm coasting here. :-)
It's isn't just about not forgetting about things, it's also about PROVING that you're actively doing what should be doing.

The point of checklists is to massively reduce the chances that you ever have to make a "creative" decision.

Thinking that checklists is a waste of time is what lets things like leaving tools inside a patient happen.
Royal Academy of Sciences | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Software Engineer | Full-time, onsite only, Visa | $40K – $60K
Build open source software that slowly but surely links all historical data in Europe together

We're a team of engineers at the Royal Academy of Sciences in the Netherlands. We build (or implement) Open Source SaaS software that allows users to work their data[1][2]. We're looking for front-end / back-end engineers (we prefer people who like a little bit of both) to add features for exposing the data (search, visualisation) and for working with the data (distributes storage, reasoning/inferring knowledge).

Examples of problems we tackle:

- Given that you have about a million mentions of names in notarial archives of the 17th century, can you make an educated guess at which of those mentions are about the same person? Please note: spelling was optional back then. Birthdates were approximations as well.

- Given that you have two scanned pieces of parchment with handwritten text. Can you detect if they were written by the same author? Can you detect what constitutes the "main" writing and what are the reader's notes?

- Can you extract all mentions of places, people and events from a text. Can you do it with a lexicon that changes over time?

- Given a 12km archive of decisions of a legislative body. Can you use network analysis to find clicques based on voting patterns?

As you can see most of these problems are not "novel" per sé, but they are often made a tad more difficult by the historical aspect. And they sure are fun :)

We provide an environment where people enjoy freedom of work, where our clients understand the uncertainty of experimentation (they're researchers after all) and where all code is published under an open-source license.

We're using python and java (yes, voluntarily), react (I know, sooo 2016) and we're hosting on kubernetes. We don't really care if you've used these exact technologies before, but we do care if you have built up greenfield applications as well as to have worked on applications that have been in development for a few years.

Contract benefits: other then what you get in any Dutch company (which is pretty good, especially for US standards) we provide you with a 38 hour workweek and 30 paid holidays (outside of the national holidays such as christmas)

Interview process: you send us some examples of real applications you wrote -> phone interview -> at a later date a technical challenge (in person or screenshare) -> final interview (finalizing the agreement)

From the book
In Search of Stupidity: Over 20 Years of High-Tech Marketing Disasters by Merrill Chapman

In 1994, the U.S. government arrived at a fairly toothless settlement whose provisions wouldn't take effect until 1995. Microsoft agreed not to require hardware manufacturers to buy an OS license for every machine they made, regardless of whether the machine used Windows or DOS. This was a rather pointless restriction, as by the time the decree went into effect there wasn't much else left to buy. Microsoft also agreed not to integrate new features and capabilities into its products if they were intended to "crush" the competition. Presumably, a gentle mauling would have to be sufficient.

Gates, however, in an action that signaled he had finally started to grow too big for his britches, made a mistake at this point. Having maneuvered a dream deal out of the DOJ's lawyers, Gates proceeded to hurt their feelings by swaggering about telling everyone that nothing had changed and that Microsoft would continue with business as usual. It was stupid behavior. Microsoft is big and has a lot of money, but the U.S. government is bigger and has all the money. Soft words and a humble attitude would have been the smart move. The political appointees at the DOJ didn't pay much heed to Gates's mouthing off, but in the eyes of the department's career attorneys, Bill Gates was a marked man.

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

The lesson is that when you get a favorable settlement from a government enforcement agency, be humble about it.
Yes, we have had some remarks.

I didn't say that no marketing is needed. I said that you can market all you want if a game is bad it usually won't be successful, with some hype exceptions. I think you are basically making the same point in your second paragraph?!

I don't think to be successful you need to be as successful as Terraria..

As for Factorio.. it's not about graphics. Not every type of game needs great graphics. It's the same as with Dwarf Fortress. Both games offer such a deep complexity that graphics is secondary, especially to the type of player interested in it.
Oh man, that reminds me of Satellaview. In the mid-to-late 90s, they would broadcast games to Super Famicom consoles. I'm pretty sure they could deliver real-time audio streams (voice acting) via SoundLink as well.
