I do remember that from the 90s. There were whole books with google search tips. The extra syntax that you needed to know.

The meaning of quoting search terms (all 3 different ones). The + and - things: +term -term. The special syntaxes "site:", the use of asterisks within quoted search terms, "define:", "link:", "related:", "...", "nearby", "filetype:", ...

And then the many "soft" tips, like leaving out unimportant words and so on.

I mean it was ... euhm ... well I remember it was all kinda cool (and it still works !), but ... today it is better.
This bit is revealing:

> There are clear non-royalty based incentives for large companies to develop new compression algorithms and drive the industry forward. Both Google and Facebook have active data compression teams, lead by some of the world's top experts in the field.

Google and Facebook can afford to spend money on R&D because they throw off gobs of money from near-monopolies in important economic sectors. This is one of the archetypal models for R&D, and has a lot of precedent: AT&T Bell Labs (bankrolled by AT&T's telephone monopoly) and Xerox PARC (bankrolled by the copier monopoly built on Xerox's patents). Much of the really fundamental technologies underlying computing were developed this way.

But MPEG is thirty years old now, and the MPEG-1 standard is 25 years old. Until recently, the MPEG standard has been pushed forward not by a single giant corporation that can afford to bankroll everything, but a consortium of companies using patents and licensing to recover their investment into the R&D. This is one of the other archetypal models for R&D. Many of the other fundamental technologies underlying computing were developed this way.

(The third archetypal model is the government-funded project, e.g. TCP/IP, which is also an example of a monopoly bankrolling R&D.)

The "benevolent monopoly" model obviously has advantages for open source--because the company bankrolls R&D by monetizing something else, it can afford to release the results of the research for everyone to use. But it's not sustainable without the sponsor (and we know this, because open source has been around for a long time, and there is little precedent for a high-performance video codec designed by an independent group of open source developers).[1]

I see people demonizing MPEG and espousing reliance on Google and FB as the way forward, but it's not clear to me that everyone fully understands the implications of that approach.

[1] Query whether Theora counts--it was based on an originally proprietary, patented codec.
Yeah, nothing listed here has worked for me. The issue is I had two accounts with the same email address one with Facebook one w/o. Not sure how it happened but if I try to reset the password of my account with my email address I immediately receive a "welcome back to facebook" email.

So, they are keeping the OID information somewhere. I've asked, begged, pleaded, and demanded for them to fix this and I've gotten absolutely nowhere. It is infuriating.
$1k, $3k, $4k, $10k, median is $3.5k, with exactly 50% being above, and exactly 50% being below. The same happens with any sample with an even number.
This does not work on an XS.

Neither do “lock my phone,” “disable Face ID,” or “require passcode.”

Edit: I was wrong - it does work for me when the phone is locked.
Contactless may help you here as it doesn't give your real CC details to the machine, it generates numbers on the spot.
It's extremely common to get project reassigned especially since he was recruited three months later.

What i guess happened was that Google found candidates for their chrome project and put him in their backlog. Later when they had one more vacancy they went thru this backlog and made offers
It's one thing to not be happy at Google+, which is the center of this rant. But to put targets on all of the companies you interviewed at along the way with their founders Twitter names? Incredibly bitter and salty. It's no way to strengthen your argument or to live.
> How do you get people to do something that is against their interest?

You remove them from the system. This is why we have a process through which the states can amend the Constitution.
It's a sad story. His tweets provide the background for why he decided to write all this.
Isomorphic in this context means the library supports running in Node.js as well as in the browser. (This is mentioned further down in the README).

Putting aside the rest of that trainwreck, asians (pardon me "orientals") are bad at computers now? I missed the memo on that
I agree with most of this, but if you like programming and front-end development, I would suggest you focus on getting REALLY good at that first. Optimize for learning and master your craft. If you become among the top 5% - 10% of front-end devs in Indonesia by the time you're 30, you will have many options.

I would get some formal computer science education while working for a startup where you can get relevant experience with modern technologies and improve your team-work skills. Don't optimize for money now, optimize for mastery. Fortunately, software development is among the most lucrative professions on the planet and you like it.

Fast-forward 5-10 years and your chances of landing a great job in US, Canada, etc would be dramatically improved. Many experienced React Devs make 90,000/year+ in the US [1].

* EDIT: also, if you want to work in an English-speaking country, mastering the English language would help too (you may already have this ability).

Good luck! You got this!

That's the point of companies to de-risk relying on a single person. You can still be a valuable member within your team, among peers, some of which you may even call friends.
My impression from afar is that they are far from strapping themselves inside a rocket, no matter what, like that flat earth guy. The manned part seems to be more like an aspirational goal than a fixture that will push all compromise elsewhere.
Why would you combine the Boolean for whether a user is nefariously a Person OI with each type of check for their location?

Nefarious POI would have a very limited context in the frontend (after it turns everything on.)

Subcategories of Points OI being coded this way makes a lot more sense.
Tell them it’s a new iPhone.
Bait and switch, where they try to convince you to take a lowball offer because you'll work on prestigious projects like Chrome, then turn around and put you on G+ is most definitely a punch. Just because it happens (regularly) doesn't mean you should just roll over and take it.

There could be inaccuracies here, it's a twitter rant after all, but as presented, that would demoralize a lot of people. You don't have to force your own happiness just because some people aren't getting their dream job at a dream company.
I’d like to be able to do this on Instagram with my inactive Facebook account
I agree the writing style, it's not constructive. That said, I think the main point is that his manager and some of his colleagues ganged up on him because they felt threatened, and that resulted in him being let go.

That does indicate a problem for Google if true. This is often the slow death people talk about when big company culture turns like this.

This is made stronger by the fact Google+ failed, and they're shutting it down. If i was an exec at Google I'd totally take this as a retrospective data point, and I'd explore to see how much of this attitude existed within the Plus org, if it was prevalent, it could have had a role in the failure of Plus.
How would a company focusing on those risky people succeed in the market? Conversely, how would a newcomer with competitive rates afford to serve these risky people?
Hey Chris,

Congratulation for launching your beta!

This seems quite similar to what we do here:

But it's look like your auto generated API support only CRUD operations, this can be very limited even for common use cases like: "Create a new order" make some business validations, store in the db, generate a pdf, send an email ...

From what I have read about Japan, it is a deeply tribalist and racist country with extensive government controls that has led to nearly 3 decades of continuous stagnation. I would not move there. I could be completely wrong and do not have first hand experience with that culture.

Have you considered Singapore or Hong Kong?
Why not try to move to another city? Bali maybe?
That’s beside the point. It doesn’t currently affect “the” credit score, but nothing stops some Goodhart-ignorant genius from incorporating such information into future models, and nothing stops current lenders from using that information for lending decisions even if the credit score looks good.
A related fact, though I don't have a citation at hand, is that masking behaviors are often associated with worse mental health and overall outcomes. Third-parties might perceive an autistic person who masks their behaviors as "higher-functioning", but it's often bad for the individual.
from your link:

"Shields admits he has no proof Huawei was behind the hacking of Nortel. He says there were system infiltrations coming from around the world, but any time information was downloaded, the hack came from China."
You could try getting a degree in one of the central European universities. Total cost for 3 years should be a fraction of what you need to pay in northern America. Getting a work permit is also ten times easer.
What an embarrassment. Blumenthal should leave the performative infosec policymaking to his colleague Ron Wyden.

It is not and never has been a norm for SAAS vendors to disclose internal vulnerabilities that have not been discovered independently by third parties. Tens of thousands are found every year by internal teams and contractors at companies around the country, many of them far more severe than the G+ bug (which would probably win a sev:low on a real assessment, less impactful than an XSS bug). You hear about none of them.

A coherent argument that this is as it should be: http://flaked.sockpuppet.org/2018/10/09/internal-disclosure-...

You can argue that things should be different for shrink-wrap software and hardware products, where vulnerabilities have a half-life and users need to be notified to patch. I won't disagree, but I will note that the norm of not disclosing internal discoveries holds there as well.
And yet everyday you (and everyone else) get in a car with much higher risk of death.

Megacorps don't work to make products. They work to keep their top-dog status perpetual. One way to do this is to hire smart people and keep them locked away wasting time.

Two benefits: them not working productively at a competitor's place is one, and them losing the skills and drive to make real-world useful things after a few years is another.

Some have written about the problems of the piece. I agree with most of the criticisms, but what is useful for the rest of us is not the problems, but figuring out what useful things we can get out of the piece.

The author's biggest work-related mistake was to sit tight when given a managed he had a bad relationship with. In most large organizations (500+ employees), your success and your failure will have a lot to do with a good relationship with your manager. It's not just performance reviews, but your technical influence that will be influenced by this. This matters with sibling teams too, as a political manager (and most bad managers are very political) will not want a report they don't like to have more influence than they do. I have seen people go from being seen as extremely productive to being called very low performers, and vice versa, in 2 months and a manager change. This kind of match, and caring about making teams cohesive, is something that most large valley companies do not really care about, and hurts them greatly, as a lot of talent is underused or downright shoved out the door.

We can learn the some things as managers too: A report we really dislike could really help the company a whole lot if they were in an environment that matches them better, and ultimately that's what we should be caring about, not making people we don't like leave, and helping people we like get promoted. Whether it is by knowing them better, or helping them move somewhere else, is far more work than just undermining them, but its ultimately the right thing to do. What we should foster instead is teamwork, and the minimization of political behavior among reports. The sly report that is always telling me what I like to hear, but playing politics all day is the bad manager of tomorrow. Companies work better when people are aligned with building the best product the company can, not maximizing the credit they get. The more energy is spent on political fights, the worse the product gets.
Second hand knowledge, but I seem to think it was free for Germans, and they're expected to stay in the country something like 4 years after finishing.
One is a known breach/leak which produced demonstrable harm. The other is a bug that can't be shown not to have been used past the stored logging.

One is the known burglary of your hotel room with your items for sale online. The other hotel used locks that could be bypassed, but only has security footage saved for the last month to show you weren't robbed then.
Are you doing this with your lock screen in the ‘unlocked’ state or in the ‘locked’ state? If the lock screen is already unlocked, it doesn’t work (and wouldn’t matter, since whatever adversary you have already has access to your phone). Try it again with your phone locked and the screen off. If it still doesn’t work, report it as a bug to Apple. I can personally vouch for it working on a 6, 6S, 7 and X.
I have travelled in Indonesia and I'm Canadian. I've worked in tech for a long time and I've lived in Japan. I've met an engineer from Indonesia who immigrated to Canada about 10 years ago.

So, a few things. Indonesia has progressed very well over the past 20 years and that is likely to continue. From a low base though.

Between Canada and Japan, Canada is a better choice unless you already speak Japanese. Japan is not fond of foreigners while Canada is full of foreigners.

You can apply directly to immigrate to Canada. There's a "point system" that determines if you qualify. Your English seems to be very good so that's a big thing in your favour. No university degree is a big impediment.

It can be very difficult to get a first job in Canada when you don't have experience.

It seems to me that Singapore might be a better option. At least in the short term. Pay is higher than in Canada or Japan, Singapore is desperate for immigrants and it's right next door.
More importantly, on the mobile version at least it is very difficult to turn off all the way and randomly comes back. On the desktop I found the option buried down in the settings to turn it off easier, but I think I still have a bunch of random broken pocket icons scattered about now that I had to dig through about:config to actually remove.
> ... I should air my dirty laundry on how awful the project and exec team was.

No, this is never true. Airing dirty laundry almost never produces a real change in the world. It just burns bridges and often makes you look petty.
The recent data breach made many people realize that you're always just 1 instance of bad luck away from having a bunch of aggregated personal data stolen. It's pretty reasonable to decide you're better off removing yourself as a target than hoping Facebook will never again experience bad luck.
Edit: see my parent comment or my response to joshstrange.
Which assertion?

Losing a billion dollars of planes because of weather? I know it is only a billion (a drop
in the ocean for the military) but if a adversary had knocked out three F-22s they would be considered a national threat.

Treat the weather like a potential national security threat is what I am saying.
True. I don't see much for Huawei on Lineage, but Xiaomi has builds for most models. Unlocking takes a while, but can be done. My phone actually came unlocked because the seller changed the ROM language, I assume.

If the bootloader is locked or there aren't any good open source builds, just don't buy it.
> Tens of thousands are found every year by internal teams and contractors at companies around the country

It's fair to say "Google followed current best practice." It's not fair to say "current practice is how it should always be."

What is acceptable for a company selling razors to Minessotans may not be for a behemoth with troves of personal data on every American. The question, "should Google have heightened disclosure requirements around confirmed and potential breaches," is not invalid.
Ask HN: Is there a OneNote file parser? Or an equivalent opensource note format?
How does OneNote file format work? Is there a parser for it? Looking at the wiki page for onenote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_OneNote

It says .one is an open format but if so where can I find a parser for it or create a .one file programmatically?

Is there an open-office or any such other open source equivalent of note taking software?
We're probably heading for something like that in the (very) long run. Pretty much all eusocial animal societies are arranged with a small number of breeding females and collective child care. We're unusual animals to be sure, but I don't think we'll be an exception in this case.
I would add, if you remain in your home country, and you aren’t that confident in that countries’ future, keep your extra earnings in foreign currency and assets. That way, you can hedge against getting screwed in the event of a currency crises or revolution. I have contract workers all over the world and I encourage them to do this.
Then reject the job offer? Would you take up the job if the salary was reduced on day one?

Some devs would roll with lower salary, some with different projects. You can still call the shots instead of going ahead and whinging publically
This is one of the most unprofessional things I've ever read. Giving callouts to people who passed you up for a hire is just... unacceptable.
Spotify activity in the early days was super prominent in the Facebook activity feed and that weird mini feed they used to have. So I think they probably got more new customers from that angle as they might have lost from the login limitation.

Don't be that guy.
You seem smart and honest and I hope it works out for you. I also feel that my country is getting worse, and I also don't know where to go, but I live in a "first-world" country (UK) and have relatively high wealth for my age thanks to starting my own company 7 years ago (when I was in my early 20s) and having decent luck with it. But I also want to get out, and some facts about my life and minority status make it quite difficult to know where I will be physically safe and generally happy. Just wanted to share a similar perspective from a very different situation.
One question I have with a project like this is: suppose I used it, and got traction. What is the story if I then realize that I need to migrate to a more traditional architecture?
> If you know a place that isn't political, bureaucratic, siloed and filled with rivals and petty managers, let me know so I can give you my resume.

Red Hat. It is siloed and can be (increasingly) bureaucratic, but I have never experienced rivals or petty managers and it's the least political place I've ever worked.

Please point out where I did that? I don't like having words put in my mouth.

>Getting a screaming Shooter Ad from EA in the middle of my "Better sleep meditation"?

Your "better sleep meditation" gets to choose it's platform. Ask them why they're on a platform with screaming shooter ads. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's because they want money that screaming shooter ads pay.

>Giving Sony money because I want to listen to Bethooven and they copyright-trolled that?

Are you referring to the unwarranted automated copyright strike that was sent by Sony then reversed?(admittedly after longer than it should have taken, but still)

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/09/sorry-sony-music...

Or are you talking about recordings that Sony actually has the rights for and fully has the right to make you pay for?

> Playing endless cat and mouse with the dark patterns added every other week to let me click on ads?

Playing endless cat and mouse games with the dark patterns that let you fund the services you're using? I mean it sounds like you're using some seriously abusive service, maybe stop using it?

>Explaining my little sister what a dildo is because YouTube is busy demonitizing everyone but inappropriate scam ads? FUCK NO.

I don't see how YouTube is "demonitizing everyone but inappropriate scam ads"

Actually I can barely even parse that, you mean when the entire video is a scam ad it's less likely to be demonitized, because I find that pretty hard to believe, or you mean scam ads are demonitized? ads don't get demonitized, they just get removed, and if you keep doing that Google will just block you from making ads.

But I digress, if you let a child on the internet without adult supervision, they will find adult things. That's just the nature of the beast, ads or not. It's unforunate that happened to you and your little sister, but if you let a child on the internet there will eventually be uncomfortable things found.

What you should be doing for someone not old enough to know what something like that is is curating content and letting them consume it on a platform you're confident doesn't have anything inappropriate.

And this is anecdotal but... I don't think I've ever seen an explicit ad on YouTube, let alone YouTube Kids. Next time you see an ad that you find explicit, you can click on the information bubble and find out why it was shown, the number one reason listed is usually recent searches.
You can always provide a way for the user to convert oAuth accounts into your own system. No idea why Spotify hasn't done already, this problem has existed on Spotify for many years now.
