"Whether you’ve enjoyed working at some place is not relevant."

It's very relevant.

"The point is that if you base a decision on aspects of a job you can’t enforce, then what you enjoy about it can change on the whim of some other people, "

This is called life; you don't control the Universe.

I suggest this has nothing to do with employment, or GlassDoor reviews, and more of a borderline nihilist take on life in general.

About 90% of Americans enjoy their work on some level [1], and about 50% are 'very satisfied' (58% for folks with Uni), and though most of us would probably quit and sunbathe or golf all day, we don't have that option and so we work together to make a better future for ourselves, our children and our communities.

We all like to gripe, and even in the most perfect circumstances we'll have a tendency to externalize most of our unhappiness and attribute it to other things.

'The system' is pretty good, better than it's ever been, even massively better than it was maybe only three generations ago when most of us were on farms, mines or factories.

It's always healthy to be skeptical and realistic about companies goals.

"If you’ve only had generally pleasant job experiences, then from everyone else’s point of view, your approach is so clouded by insane selection bias"

Given that the vast majority of folks are generally satisfied with their jobs, you might be the one with the 'perspective bias' due to perhaps a bad experience or two, because again - 90% of people are generally satisfied with their jobs, I'll gather you might personally have been somewhere in that 10%, and that the commenter's experience is more normative.

I know a lot of trump haters and I don’t know a single person that got angry. Lots of jokes have been made is all. Surely because Trump already uses a short messaging system to promote himself.

Edit: I mean he thinks the FBI should be his own loyal personal police force so it’s not a stretch to consider him applying that philosophy elsewhere. I think it’s unlikely but definitely not impossible. I can understand more paranoid people being concerned. If Obama had done it, there would’ve been a similar reaction from the paranoid.
While it's nice that states have voter registration when you get or renew a drivers license (the motor voter bill passed at the federal level under Clinton, so, the state is required to offer it), not everyone will have a drivers license. Many consider requiring a drivers license or ID an effective poll tax, since it costs money to maintain, and also can be very difficult to obtain for those without a permanent residence.

"And did anyone look at TX code to check that submissions from a third party rather than the actual applicant are valid?"

Of course. There's a whole system in place for it. Anyone meeting a few basic requirements can become a volunteer deputy registrar (https://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/pamphlets/deputy.shtml). It is not uncommon or new. It's been going on for decades.

Ask HN: Best technical resource for AdTech?
Any recommendations on actual technical descriptions of how ad networks/placement algorithms work?

Most stuff I'm finding on Google is very surface level and seems geared more towards marketing people.

I'm looking to understand the general approach/architecture/algorithms that go into targeted advertising specifically.

For example if I have a whole bunch of inputs how do I decide which ad to show to a user.

Thanks!

I buy that there is a lot of astroturfing, but there's a lot of griping as well. Leaving an employment situation is always an odd time, it's hard for us to be objective. Franky I always look at the experience very differently two years out.
The concept of a strategic supply chain is not new, as semiconductors play an increasingly strategic role in the US' defense and industrial policies - treating them as strategic is becoming less and less controversial. In fact China has recognized the importance of semiconductors and taken measures to boost their domestic capabilities in this space[1]

Edit: I think I may have misread the tone/implications of your post, just as I think you may have misread the parent post. (I don't think that apo was implying bringing forward moral condemnation as a tactic.) I didn't see that you recommended pointing people to trauma treatment, that's a great suggestion. I'll leave the rest of the post up as a personal anecdote to support that.

There was a time in my life when I frequently made bad decisions that negatively impacted others. In retrospect, one of the things that kept me from recognizing the impact of my behavior was that nobody was willing to take me aside and have an honest, straightforward conversation about it. Not a "shaming" conversation -- that would have backfired and likely would have caused me to veer off into other destructive behavior -- but a practical, compassionate conversation explaining that people had noticed my behavior, and that it was affecting myself and others negatively.

Given my situation, I would have stopped immediately if I had been confronted in such a way. In fact, I often fantasized about a friend finally confronting me, because I knew that if other people actually recognized what I was doing then I'd have to quit immediately. I knew that the behavior was destructive. I just didn't have it in me to make a change on my own, and I wasn't willing to ask for help.

I eventually figured it out, but it was a long and lonely road.
"Honesty only comes from someone angry" , I think what we want is objectivity, and that's hard to do when one is angry.

The reason I can see is to make more money. I have bought a Macbook Pro with more RAM than I needed at the time only to be sure to have the RAM in case I need it later. Otherwise I would have waited and bought the RAM later. I am sure I am not alone.

With closing off everything they have more control and can cut out third party competition. It looks like they are successful with IBM's Micro Channel architecture strategy of the 80s.
As someone who doesn't enjoy very bitter beer, I do find the obsession of super duper hopped up IPAs in the US market really suffocating.

As a lot of posters noted, Sours and other beers are becoming more mainstream but I do think the "microbrewery" boom is finally coming to an end. Most of the famous ones are already owned by Heineken or A-B. Consolidation seems to be the natural state of the market it seems.
I would like to see some in depth studies to see how this has changed the flavors, if at all. I'm always skeptical when people claim that the quality of these brewers lowered when purchased; however changes in the supply chain could result in that.

Hmmm ok, so then based on that article and your opinion of the situation, it's debatable if you owe personal income tax on your share of the yearly income, which let's say is 33%. Is there a way to make sure you are only paying taxes on the yearly profit and not revenue? 100k in revenue is nothing if the business had 100k in expenses that year.

What state is the LLC registered in? That will affect if you owe state taxes too, even if you live abroad.

I'm sure if the income was large enough, the IRS would send you an audit saying you owe xyz +5% late penalty.

If it's small and you have no physical address here and the income is entirely online, then perhaps you owe 0% tax. Confusing to me, really, as I've only ever worked W2, 1099, and cap gains for income
My memory might be wrong, but I don't think Windows 95 had automatic updates at all. They were tacked on when Windows security vulnerabilities became such a big deal in the late 1990s. Automatic updates felt like a hack in the beginning, and it feels like they still are.
Yes, and no:

- Yes in the sense that the glass needs to be glued (or rather taped as a double-sided tape is used) to create a waterproof seal as the small size of these devices does not allow for a more traditional clamp fit using a rubber gasket.

- No because it does not have to be the main body of the device to which the glass is glued/taped. I use the Motorola Defy+ [1], an 8 year old water/dust/shockproof Android device which shows a phone can be both waterproof as well as repair-friendly: the glass is glued to a frame which in turn is attached to the phone using screws. Disassembling the device is easy and quick, all it takes is a small Torx driver and a guitar pick. Assembling it is just as easy, the result will still be waterproof as long as all the rubber gaskets are fitted. I have 5 of these devices in use for different purposes ranging from 'dangerous work phone' to trailer camera and remote-controlled media player (using MPD for Android).

In short, it is possible to create waterproof devices which can be repaired without needing to break one-time seals.

> But we are not stealing from publishers, per your own agreement that users have the right to block ads. You are contradicting yourself.

The stealing is when you hold a gun to their head to make them pay up. There is no contradiction.

If you say you'll steal my wallet (however little money I may have in it) or offer a cheaper way out, I'll take the cheaper way out. It doesn't matter that my net worth is far larger than what I carry in my wallet.

Scam: a dishonest scheme; a fraud.

Mobile browsers do allow that, YouTube just breaks that functionality for reasons unknown. They do it on mobile only as well, videos do play in the background when I use the desktop site.
The absolutely infuriating thing is, as soon as a ”disable updates” hack gains posterity, Microsoft shuts it down. If you just follow the first Google result for disabling updates, you still end up getting reboots.

It’s one of the most anti-user policies Microsoft has pulled, and they have a long list..
My gut instinct here is to say you owe 0% taxes. If you don't have an SS number or a TIN (taxpayer identification number), there's no way for you to even file taxes.

If your share of profit is less than $10,600 USD, then you owe 0% taxes anyway because of the standard deduction.

Good luck in Argentina my friend! It is really so sad that the peso is being pressured like this.

Just spending enough time on a bike or motorbike will change the way you drive. Not only do you become aware of blind spots but you become a little paranoid about them. You might also learn that hitting a large metal box hurts.

That transfers when the many bikers are driving a car into doing more, and better checks than a typical driver without two wheel experience.
I'm sure this is good and expedient in confronting difficult situations, but I'm not sure if it is helpful in building genuine connections. Of course, I don't have the definitive way to build genuine connections, but ... I wouldn't imagine this is the solution. Though, faced with a tough situation, I'll deploy this method for safety.
The distinction being that Sonos updates rarely take more than a minute or two, and I've never seen one that was actually mandatory (the controller app will bug you about it, but it usually works anyways). Would be nice if it could automatically update while idle and I never had to worry about it, but that hardly seems necessary IME.

Granted, I've also never had Windows 10 unexpectedly reboot on me or force an update at an inconvenient time, either. If you're proactive about running updates at times that are convenient for you, and don't just ignore every popup and warning that Windows gives you when it's waiting for a reboot, you'll never see it reboot when you don't want it to.

I sit here staring at my Moto G5+ still running Android 7.0 with kernel 3.18 and I pledge that my next phone will likely be an iPhone because they get 5 years of steady updates.

This is not the phone vendor's fault. It's Google's fault for choosing an OS design that puts kernel updates at the mercy of component manufacturers and network operators that they then have no dealings with. Probably trillions of dollars have been collectively wasted and numerous landfills sites filled because device drivers aren't decoupled from the core of the OS by a clean interface.

Android phones never getting updated has been old news basically since the first Android phones. How many years has it been?
No removable batteries, no expandable memory, no headphone jack and now the notch. All undeniable evidence on manufacturers copying(?) Apple's choices at least in phones. As a user, I strongly feel these are not in my best interests. And I realize I am not alone in this.

Apple being the magnitude that it is now, cannot afford to make choices to attract folks like me with their 'reimagined' and 'breakthrough' innovations (?!).

This opens up an interesting segment for products that can afford to make design choices/offerings orthogonal to Apple.

Can you imagine a phone with 3000 mAh removable battery, an external memory card support for upto 128 Gb, a proper 3.5mm headphone jack and a proper rectangle screen capable of > 500ppi under 5 inches to fit your palm ? Let me sweeten the deal and price it at about $499 USD for this 'dated' tech.

Now, look around and tell me there isn't a market for this phone.

They should be able to be paused, controlled for prev/next movement, last a minimum of 3 seconds (and longer for large pieces of text). If it is too slow the user can click "next" without it being an annoying experience. If it is too fast - even with the ability to go back - it is an annoying experience without the ability to pause it. But it is always better to be too slow than to be too fast.

My honest advice would be [1] and it should be designed in such a way that all reviews are visible, perhaps in 3 columns, instead of a stupid carousel slider. But slowing down the slider would be more trivial - as I expect very few people are actually able to read all of the text of any of the excerpts before it changes on them.

Here's another article with a picture of the refueling:

https://disciplesofflight.com/flight-endurance/
A rule I heard was about abstract nouns requiring the article. It is not a strict rule, it seems, and what is abstract or not could be a matter of debate. In line with the OP notion something abstract would be exactly something that was not known. So here, the whole scenario is "the table". It's not any old table. In the speakers mind it is the sole reason of the listeners existence.

"hello, table?"

"Yes, this is table speaking"

"Is it still there?"

"Yes, it is here?"

"good good. bring it, table!"

It seems almost as if "it" and "the", highly underspecific terms are way more complicated in nature and thus have to repeated often to remind us ... just as much as egoists tend to speak a lot of "I", which I tend to avoid when I write my own texts because I do know who I am talking to. That is, "come" is usually preceded by "you", to address the recipient. "you come" is a full sentence. It's regularly binding "here", but if "here" needs to be specified, the verb is "come by". The object is a new phrase, and to set that off with the appropriate contrast, we simply use an article. Otherwise, "come to shop" would appear like a compound verb. Indeed, "come to town" is idiomatic, and that's lexicalized as a compound word (collocation) as seen in "homecoming". While "bring" is usually bound to "me" (or here, eventually, as the difference is minimal). It wouldn't be "table bringing". You don't address the table itself to bring itself. The table doesn't belong to the noun, the subject of the verb - not anymore. The status of the table is kind of unclear and that's the whole point. It already changed ownership as it seems, but didn't change hands yet. The "the" then is a placeholder for a qualifier. It is the most simple place holder next "a" or nothing. It should change to "my", and since we also have "(to) me" in scope, that would actually be very apt. "Bring my table". Is that one also objectionable? Diplomatically, you'd say "your table". The article is used to show that' you want to be specific, but not too specific yet. In essence, it changes only changes the scope. If it didn't and if it was clear that you have (are) the table, then it would be enough to say "you bring!" And people really do or did talk like that. "I'm hungry, cook!" "Answer! I wanna have an answer. You answer" "guard, guard!". etc. etc.

I'm just making that up. Never mind.
Wow shows how my thinking has changed. I own a few Kafka books that are probably in a box somewhere. Was an avid reader in my teens.

There a billion books, songs, blogs, software projects, paintings, photos, and other copyrightable things no one ever made a dime off and most of the creators aren't homeless. It can be made while working another job, raising a family, dealing with life. The only people making money off this stuff are the very few you hear about. And the people that "dedicate all their time" to it will, of course, tell you it's the only way to make stuff as great as theirs (via twitter, from a private island, while doing anything but creating), and enough people believe that is true to keep the money machine churning. Creativity isn't going to dwindle away with no laws "protecting" it.
I agree I've never had Windows do an inconvenient update on me. But I'm like you, I don't ignore all the update warnings, I do it when I go to lunch or whatever. But I know lots of people who will seemingly not take note of any popups that come up and just ignore them forever.
Have said that, these days it should be possible to build up a pattern of when you use your computer and do the update when it's never being used.

I recognize that Stripe was maybe the first to create a modern JSON-based API for financial transactions. At least maybe the first of that kind that gained traction. But to say they "reshaped the digital economy"?

I would say reshaping the digital economy would definitely entail direct competition with the big players like Visa and MasterCard. Lower the ridiculous percentages that these corporations fleece merchants with and then maybe I'll think differently.
Could they?
