I only know one instance (awoo.space) that does whitelisting instead of blacklisting. Mastodon can't even do it out of the box (although pleroma can).

My instance bans the sort of instance described in the sibling comment to yours, like qoto (who advertised their Mastodon as "free speech twitter"... on twitter ads)
A side project while employed is a quite different thing from a full time attempt at entrepreneurship. It sounds like you're talking about your experience with the latter, at which point some interviewers don't know how to relate to your situation, are afraid that as soon as funds are flush again that you'll bolt, etc.
How do they cope against a video of you, like if I pretend to take a selfie but video instead, oh whoops .. but then I have a video to use to unlock your phone?

Or police could use the mugshot process to get a video?
Yes, but 'select' is the name of that operation in the relational algebra. Which confuses some people whose first exposure to that model is through SQL, where the keyword implies a combination of 'select' and 'project'. I think the commenter's intent was to clarify that.

This is definitely true, though it doesn't exclude a hybrid approach (where you can choose between free/ads, paid/no ads), which is what I believe the parent comment was talking about.
Living in UK I can tell this situation is even more extreme. I always wondered why decentralised payments apps in crypto aren’t a bigger thing. This would: workaround big player’s commissions for small payments and stop the tracking of the transactions. An example is status.im
I've had a Spotify account for just as long and never had it linked with Facebook, purely because I didn't have Facebook at the time. I just log in with id and password.
Some interviewers care, you just gotta find them. At the job I'm currently at, the interviewer looked at my GitHub and that was it. No coding involved AFAIR.
Yeah I just didn’t use Spotify until I could sign up with email. It kind of surprised me they were able to gain as much traction as they did with what I viewed as a user-hostile action right at signup.
Not really.

Base on years of using and cleaning guns for hunting and target shooting and from reading several hundred reports of gun cleaning "accidents", "gun cleaning accident" is polite fiction for "I shot myself (or someone else!) playing with my gun". Although, to be fair, some of them are suicides and possibly the occasional murder.

Normally guns only need cleaning if they have been fired or have somehow gotten wet or contaminated. The procedure to clean a gun goes like this:

1) Remove ammunition
2) Partially disassemble gun (depending on model)
3) Scrub a cleaning rod and brush through the barrel and chamber
4) Reassemble

Removing the ammunition has to happen, otherwise you cannot run the brush though the barrel because the ammunition is in the way. So shooting yourself while cleaning a gun because you didn't know it was loaded is like driving off without your car keys. Not too plausible.

On the other hand, it's pretty easy to have an accident playing with a gun, and apparently shooting yourself is deeply embarrassing so it's not uncommon to lie about "I was cleaning it". I don't know why the police accept this story, just a social nicety I guess.

Of course this story works best if the "accident" happens in the home. A surprisingly common variation in cases where the gun owner shoots themselves in a parked car or suchlike (often with a newly purchased gun) is that a "black man ran up/drove by" and shot them for no reason. Sometimes the assailant was "wearing black clothes" and/or "driving a "black SUV". The police tend to be more skeptical about this although not always. [0] [1]

You call BS on OP or the interviewer? Have you interviewed for a "unicorn" and other "cool" companies?

Sadly, looking for excuses to rationalised that the interviewer doesn't like you is still a thing.
Sure, if you have a cushy dev job, a nice apartment, a new car, expensive hobbies, no savings, and don't want to change your lifestyle, yeah, you're going to have a hard time starting something without cash.

If, on the other hand, you share a cheap apartment, have parents or a partner who can support you, and are willing to skip the expensive vacation, you might get pretty far with little money.

I think that's the reason why so many startups are started by people just out of college -- they're used to a modest lifestyle, and they usually don't have a problem being dependent on someone.

It's amazing how quickly people think it's impossible to live on less money after a few years of having a regular job.

You should stop using smilies in this passive-aggressive manner. You should also stop condescending to people. You may feel that you can't be wrong so they must not understand because they are too dumb and daunted by it, but you should not be revealing that to them in your comments, because it's so offputting.
Maybe that's not their primary goal? People have taken horrifying risks to push frontiers throughout history. The Oregon Trail claimed an estimated 21,000 lives.* Perhaps they are willing to accept a higher risk of death?

*Though, despite the horrific toll, the final odds of death on the O.T., once the dust had settled, were about 5% to NASA's ~4%.
Spotify gave up on caring about their users a few years ago, I think. I uninstalled after the app forced the "DJ fade in / fade out" between every track -- including between movements of Beethoven's symphonies. (No, the toggle to turn that off never worked for me. No, they never replied to my attempts to let them know how awful it was.)

(No, I'll never go back to their service.)
I'm not the poster, but:

Norway has a public number as well. It is used in part as identity, and for taxes and all that stuff. As far as identifacation goes:

1. Picture ID. For me, it is my passport or immigration card, and some folks have their pictures on their bank card as well, which works for ID.

2. For online transactions of various sorts and sometimes doing things at the bank, I have a little device that gives me numbers. This is issued from the bank, but is a national system. I use it along with my ID number and a password of my own choosing. This is done for things like purchases, banking, government websites that store my information (medical stuff, for example), the secure mailbox (government documents and things like that), and a doctor-patient thing.

3. Sometimes, a service will sent a SMS code as well as or instead of some of the above.

I think things like income and tax information are public here and I think your address is as well (I can't remember). There is also quite a bit more trust in the government as well.

The apostrophes are for lifetimes, and they don't even have to be specified most of the time. I just checked for all of the rust code that I have written and explicit lifetimes only occur once per 36 lines and in less than a third of files.

Tutorials and blogs will give you a skewed idea about how frequently lifetimes need to be specified because lifetimes get a disproportionate amount of content written about them.
And if your movement is restricted, “Hey Siri, who am I?” will also trigger a lockout requiring a PIN.

Edit: for clarification - this will not lock your phone by itself. If your phone is locked (so on your lockscreen with the lock icon still there) it will trigger a lockout and won’t allow biometric authentication until your PIN has been entered.

Is there as much of a risk when buying a Chinese made Android One phone? Serious question if anyone knows.
I know I sound like a broken record on Huawei posts (too many friends' parents lost their jobs over it) but it's worth pointing out that Huawei has an (alleged) record relating to stealing information for their own gain, ie: they stole a lot of IP from Nortel in the 90s[0], possibly others. Then they competed in the same market with a fraction of the R&D budget and buried Nortel.

Don't think about this in terms of just governments tracking you. Consider if you have any work emails containing company secrets in them. Consider if you have 2FA apps installed that you would use to unlock or change your work password. And since it was almost certainly the Chinese Intel/Military that helps Huawei and other companies, you can be sure that whatever information Huawei gets access to doesn't need to just help them out, but might help any other company the Chinese government wants to see succeed.

Google and Apple might use your data to better target ads against you. That's terrible, but doesn't seem so bad in comparison.

> Uh, "joint table" was the term used, not "table join".

I don't believe OP is aware of the existence of table joins, and just reproduced what he thought was mentioned.

Meanwhile, the DB operation he described is clearly a table join (create a new table by creating a relationship between two existing tables).

That is also quite clearly a good reason for a prospective employer to lose interest in OP as a potential recruiter, and why his projects on Github fail to impress anyone. Portfolio projects only work in favor of a job applicant if they are any good, but if they are all a bunch of crap that is poorly put together and showcases incompetence, such as setting up a database system that tries to reinvent the wheel to fill in the gap of not knowing the very basics, then obviously that is disheartening to any potential recruiter.

Assuming you’re referring to the ‘See what your friends are playing’ panel; on macOS it’s View Menu -> Uncheck ‘Friend Activity’. The right hand panel should then close.
> And 10 years later, sharing stuff with people nearby still kinda sucks.

It does still suck, and once every few years I feel that. But that's a problem. Solving a minor, "kinda" pain point that people experience once in a while isn't that big of a win. I'm sure that other people want to do this more often than I do, but I'm also sure that this case is a small subset of the need to share stuff with others generally. I.e., you're always needing to share stuff, with people in Boston, LA, or Singapore, or your manager on another floor of the building, or wherever. You know how to do that. So while it seems silly that you can't share something more easily with someone sitting across the table from you, the methods you already use do work.
Good point .. but if you look at the context, I think person of interest actually makes more sense in a lot of cases.

This doesn't seem like responsible reverse engineering (specifically: decompiling one app and then publishing strings to give people partial information and assume the worst). There are definitely possible legitimate uses for one apk without a UI to "suggest modes of transportation" to another apk, as another comment on this thread describes.

The big tech companies are really really good at making you feel like you're exceptional and special and destined for greatness because you're good enough to work for them. But then there's the risk that they just say that then dump you in with thousands of others to churn out product.

I'm increasingly convinced that there's a ton of life experience and wisdom to be gained by working for big tech in your early 20s when you have a lot of flexibility. But when you've figured out what kind of life you want to lead, they're probably not the right fit for you.

I think it boils down to: money is easily quantifiable, happiness and freedom aren't. So people make bad life decisions based on an incomplete assessment of what will really suit them best.
Never write in anger. writing in sadness is ok, but writing in anger generally clouds the message. Some of this stuff is about how you work, and how others work. Its not about google, you could "feel" this way in almost any enterprise with more than 1 tier of management.

I have the same problem with many American movie actors, and I'm an American. Watch a movie from the 1940s. There was a standard of enunciation that seems to have disappeared.

Like many things in life, it can be solved with money. So:

1. become a really good front-end developer, do remote work. Be very professional about it. You'll start making good $$$.

2. Search HN for tips on remote/contract work, there's a whole lot of wisdom about it.

3. Once you start making >$3 k/month, a lot of possibilities open up, including some EU countries. You can get a student visa, and running your own business also might be a possibility.

4. You might be able to study in EU right away. Make a list of universities you're interested in, email each and every one of them, asking if you can become a student and if there's a scholarship that might be available to you. I know a few people who did this successfully with very little of their own money.
Yes, that's an option.

You need a student visa or some of type of residence permit, though. If you're eligible depends on your country of origin. You also have to prove you'll be able to sustain yourself during your stay.

It's obviously temporary. Once you've finished your studies it's usually assumed that you return to your home country, unless you manage to find work with a local company, that is. The latter potentially opens up the opportunity for naturalisation or a permanent leave to stay.

Running a business might work, too but probably is more difficult because you'd have to prove that you're able to provide for yourself, which can be hard when just starting out. Still, there are options and special programmes for high-tech entrepreneurship.

As other posters have pointed out, getting to another country is likely to be very difficult for you right now so my advice is to think about what you can do where you are to improve your situation.

It seems to me that the answer to your problems is money. Yes, I know that can seem obvious but if you have a goal to earn western wages while living on Indonesian costs you should be able to save a fair bit.

This means you could try freelancing your front-end dev skills out to western clients. There are lots of platforms out there where you can do this.

Alternatively look for a remote only job as these are becoming more and more popular and front-end development is a highly desired skillset.

Thinking outside the box a bit, if you're willing to stay put a little while longer you could potentially build software products, such as WordPress plugins and use a platform like Codecanyon to sell them.

Or if you'd rather use your fitness interest/skills why not consider setting up some kind of bootcamp class? You could create a course on bookmartialarts.com (or similar) that is tailored to foreigners that want to come work out in another country? With your development skills you'd likely have an edge with marketing it and making it look very professional.

You've got a tough but not impossible road ahead of you. Good luck!
This could be one of the most important experiments that modern physics has attempted.

It's funny that they must adapt their schedule to others, and not the other way around. They're being given just a few days to carry everything out before hitting a cut-off point that may realistically cause the experiment never to get done due to changes in funding or the landscape.

If they obtain a positive result, how many experts will suddenly no longer have a position of expertise?

Suddenly, I wonder if they are having a harder time than other experiments, and whether there are any at CERN who actually don't want the experiment to occur.
Interesting insight, but I can't help but wonder if this guy is going to regret some of the shots he took in this article.
