Well, pointing out that tech company engineers aren’t really all the great, indeed even below average, threatens like, one of HN’s biggest orthodoxies: that the people who read and write in this forum are brilliant.
GoLorry (YC W16) Is Hiring a Full-Time Software Engineer in Hyderabad, India
A bit about us:

GoLorry is consolidating the fragmented Indian trucking market into a single service provider. We provide India’s first truly instant pricing on any route. Clients can book any number of trucks, manage future orders, and track trucks en route, all in our app without any phone calls. We’re dedicated to technology, digitizing payments, records, and paperwork whenever possible, but we know that real-world work often requires a human touch and so we bring the best combination of both. Our ultimate goal is to be the first company in India to deploy self-driving (autonomous) trucks.

What you’ll do:

Work with the front end and operations teams to design new features and improve business logic.

Develop our business platform in Python and the Django Rest Framework.

Shape our engineering culture, decide on engineering processes, and share your knowledge. For that reason, we're primarily looking for on-site over remote candidates.

If you are interested or know someone who might be, please contact me at jonathan@golorry.com

Just like you don’t advertise dog food to dogs.
San Francisco's policy is basically to leave the gushing wounds alone, and instead think hopeful thoughts about how we really should be eradicating all disease.

True, that would be the real solution, and then we wouldn't need those pesky bandages. No pathogens in the air, no risk of infection. Leaving wounds open also helps bystanders feel the problem, and probably motivates some to go into medical research or to work harder at it.

But "visible infections will motivate the end of disease" is a batshit insane public health program, and "car break-ins will motivate the end of capitalism" works about as well as an anti-poverty strategy.
According to several former employees, Munchery also stiffed vendors in LA and Seattle when they shut down there years ago. Some of them have still not been paid, even though Munchery raised more money and continued to operate in San Francisco. A vendor in LA was owed 150k, Munchery agreed to a payment plan, and then just stopped paying when they still owed 100k. This is a pattern of not paying bills and continuing to rack up debts without the money to pay it off. The companies that delivered their goods to Munchery as promised shouldn't have to pay for Munchery's dishonesty and poor management.
Very specifically the Australians were given diplomatic immunity, which sidelined the legal question.

Why can’t the solution simply be education?

I don’t buy this learned helplessness. Schools need to evolve with the times.

We teach kids calculus in school, surely we can teach them to read a freakin URL.
Dynatrace offers 'free for life' developer program

Cmon, the goal of UX is not to make anyone “happy”, it’s to get people to be satisfied so that they come back and spend more money. You can justify what you do any way you like, let it feel good, but don’t try to pretend you are not just a cog in the machine.
and why hell do you keep updated your os ?
I do a apt upgrade every week, and everything works fine.
There is a marketplace in development to be found at nori.com

An entity that can remove carbon from the atmosphere will be able to sell it there. So the initial focus will be on agricultural practices because that’s where it can most easily be done.
Similar setup: I use Google Fi with a Google Pixel 3 phone, and I will buy the Purism Librem 5 phone.

I get ~5 calls/day that are legitimate calls with unknown numbers, and ~10 calls/day that are spam robocalls. I use Google screening and it works reasonably well; I would much prefer to have a telco do the screening automatically.

I use ~10-20GB of data per month, mostly for video calls, mostly for business, mostly via Signal, Slack, Zoom.

Feel free to PM me if you would like more. Contact info is in my user link.
Mostly only meta knowledge is required. You need to know they exist so you can look them up if you need to reimplement or choose the right library.

If you have to write the code for it inside an existing code base, knowing a specific algorithm by heart vs looking it up won't really make a lot of difference on the time it takes.

I really don’t think the people breaking into cars can ever be spun into protagonists, of any story. Advocating for them harms the message of helping the downtrodden and treating them humanely, because it seems totally out of touch with the emotional impact of totally gratuitous property crime on its victims.

That was implemented last week :) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1517526 you should see it in nightly, and will be part of the release.
Congratulations on your first Go (Golang) project.

The source code doesn’t do anything related with GitHub pages though.

It simply starts a file server with no more features than adding “.html” at the end of the URL.

You may want to change the default port from :80 to :8080 so people don’t have to set “-port” every time.

Also, in the README, you say that one of the implemented features is:

> 4. Check whether 404.html is a file, if so serve that file as a 404

But your code says otherwise [1] since there is no 404.html file in the repository.

Social media work is the factory work of today. It largely requires no skill, one is easily replacable, and more and more tasks are automated away.

The difference is, I guess, that the jobs are also appealing. People that do this spend most their time on social media anyway, and now they can see themselves as tech workers.
But, in truth, the idea to make your passion into a job, is problematic if that passion does not require skill.

And so, a tech Proletariat creates itself and is replaced by actual child work.
Limits on protecting the earth.

Limits on (i.e. near elimination of) enforcement of anti-trust laws.

Limits on limiting the power of money in politics.

Limits on enforcement of civil rights laws.

Removal of limits on ownership of broadcast station licenses and cross-ownership of broadcast station licenses and local monopoly newspapers.

Limits on the availability of justice to the non-wealthy because of the high cost of participating in almost any application of the law.

Limits on the ability of those not on the contributors' list to get a meeting with their congressperson.
A 13-year-old can't make a contract in law, certainly not in the UK. Was the app installed outside the US?
phising is not the only issue with urls
There's nothing embarrassing about making a profit, but there is something embarrassing about continuing to rack up debts you know you won't be paying. A restaurant owner is taking a big risk in setting up shop - food businesses are super likely to fail as it is. There's no need to make excuses for well-funded companies operating irresponsibly and actually stealing from the small businesses they market themselves as promoting.
a very large number of businesses outsource almost their entire functionality. Uber, Lyft, Robinhood, Comcast, Fedex/UPS, Netflix (i cant remember which one uses ICs for all of their trucks). aggregators/marketplaces/exchanges are just one of the many business models companies pursue.

yes, I wonder what is the deal with crossover. It looks like some slave-developer plattform... But then for a dev in eastern europe or asia a permanent position with 30k/y is better than most local positions? But might also be wron about this...
Google is a company which provides a product, chrome. It is in their intrest to protect those users in a way that they desire. Why would they leave idiots hurting themselves when they can enhance their product by protecting those idiots, which also improves the satisfaction by the users.
I'm not sure that works in law. A 13-year-old could click "consent" and not make a contract with FB.
I meant doing dist-upgrade, not apt upgrade.
I’m a bit late to the discussion, but having adopted Node-RED for home automation and some bot prototyping work, I concur that it’s very quick to get some stuff done, but that modularity and versioning are a constant pain.

I don’t see visual programming at sucking, but I think the idea of having diagrams as a quick panacea for the mental overhead of maintaining complex processes just doesn’t scale (I’ve had a number of discussions about this kind of thing since the rise of UML, for instance, and never saw UML docs being maintained after their creator left a project...)
No, it's a hilariously disingenuous article.

As far as I can see it's tortuously misquoting this:

https://spaceweatherarchive.com/2018/09/27/the-chill-of-sola...

So thermosphere temperatures will cool as a result of the current solar minimum, which we get on an 11 year cycle, and thanks to the TIMED satellite we have data of a complete cycle for the first time.

Course even as the thermosphere cools, surface temperatures are still rising.

Searching for source brought up a veritable sea of conspiracy theory sites and garbage like David Icke.
As always with Google, there are two outcomes. An improvement to some engineering or social issue, and an increase in the amount of data flowing into Google from the rest of the world.

Of course the latter is pure coincidence, but it's always there.
Probably get a lot more aggressive on your accounts receivables demands. Also, is this type of behavior typical of VC's? I have to assume a lot of people would just have written a check to pay vendors so this sort of bad PR wouldn't be coming up as it isn't that much money for a VC. Unfortunately it seems like a few bad apples here are really spoiling it for everyone.
The first chart in Gates's tweet (which is what the article is all about) is based on the idea that all incomes are converted into money for comparison reasons, otherwise I have no idea how they managed to compare incomes going back 200 years from different types of societies. How do you assign income for shared grazing grounds? Or for shared forests? Or for rotating ownership of the agricultural fields? (btw, rotating ownership is an idea very alien to capitalism, if you propose it today you'll be treated as a communist). You basically can't do all that, because these things don't have a very easily computable money equivalent.

And, as such, comparing the rate of poverty in a capitalist society to the rate of poverty from a pre-capitalist society is bogus. Again, this is what the article is all about.

> you're bedridden with tuberculosis.

No, you can't, but your wife/uncle/cousin/aunt can until you get better. While living in a capitalist society mostly means an atomic family unit where, if you happen to be bed-ridden, you're basically on your own. Again, charts like the ones tweeted by Gates don't assign any monetary value to this type of close human relations, even though those close human relations greatly improve our well-being. Afaik nobody has assigned yet any money value to the ease of mind provided by thoughts like "hey, I'm not alone in this world, I'm not on my own".
It wouldn't be good journalism if the idea of the change wasn't all twisted to some conspiracy theory.
As a side note too: a documentary/movie about finnish cave divers who went back to cave in Norway to retrieve bodies of their deceased buddies.

After the fact detection is no help; police won't respond or interdict.

Gangs have it down to a six second process to loot the back seat and trunk. It would be completely disrupted by simply having the rear seat lockable from being folded forward.
The Tiny Type Museum and Time Capsule
I agree. That can also be called "common law" in Germany. Contracts with people who are not entitled to sign contracts on their behalf are not considered legally binding.

In that sense, it shall be treated as if there hasn't been a contract at all. The process is purposefully designed to get a signed contract as fast as possible. The technology to make proper ID (Age) verification is available, but my understanding is, that it is not used by facebook and its partners.
Did you test it against relative path(s) ? For example, what if "../" is included in the file path ? It can be used to escape the root folder and traverse arbitrarily in the host file system.
This exists (kind of).

Their jobs might have different value for this to happen at all. Usually that’s exactly what the market does, assign value. The 10% margin sounds in general fair but depends on so many factors, margin on what? Production, Research, Investment ?
Using Compose to Go from Docker to Kubernetes
No. Android + Google resolved my problems with spam calls.
It has legitimate biometrics included like bone lengths. It could determine, e.g., which gang member should cops focus on.
Have you done full remote before? If you don't have significant experience in managing yourself and the fact that you will work alone most of the time, I suggest you not to look just for money, but instead look for a company with a culture which suits you. If they give you just a big paycheck to cover up the shit that you will have to do for them, there is a high chance that you will burn out and no amount of money will help you.
So IRS is just gonna accept that you made $241,000 and just that dealing drugs? Tax return is step one, if red flags are raised, it's audit time with explanations, witnesses, ledgers etc. If you got caught or want to leave the profession, it's another thing, come clean.
No doubt in my mind that agencies talk to each other, formally or informally.
I thought it was useful and interesting. To me at least
The key sentence from NASA: "High above Earth’s surface, near the edge of space, our atmosphere is losing heat energy." In other words, less heat is leaking up from surface level to the edge of space.

The heat is staying down here instead.
Exactly my thought. I wont be using this for exposed/public access. Which websockets are.

First vector that comes to mind the stdin escape sequences, then there is the inevitable leaking of sensitive information (besides bugs in the process, what about its unhandled exceptions, segfaults, or other system errors), and then there is the denial-of-service unless it can throttle before invoking a process, and lets not forget about command injection.

But still i must say the idea is nice in simplicity..
walking down streets in SF seeing the piles of broken glass every few car spaces showing someone broke into a bunch of cars recently was really eye opening how bad it is.

Seems quickly solvable with a few honeypot cars. AFAIK isn't not entrapment if you don't ask them to do it. I imagine it's a relatively small number of people doing it. A month or two of honeypot cars would clear up that issue
I totally understand. BUT if I am going to kill a person, illegal possession of a weapon is the least of my worries. Drug dealers are in that line of business. If you want to stay doing that, declaring income is not smart. That was my point.

The article said they suffered data corruption. The Osterhout is à propos.
We should replace state tax collection with income sharing where if you make more than X threshold via any means, you need to share your income with low income household.

Then all projects like roads etc...can be built if the project finds enough backers who are willing to subscribe to road building subscription in their area
I'm sorry and Thank you
That's not solving physics. Physics is not a problem, it's a branch of the natural sciences. We can solve physics-related problems, but it's not like if we've solved enough physics-related problems we have solved physics.

That's like saying "solve this coffee table".
A time traveling radio does seem pretty novel, to be fair.

More detail in that, but still nothing more than an interview with the the scientists who claim to have developed the "cure".
"Prerequisites for building Flink:
Unix-like environment (we use Linux, Mac OS X, Cygwin)
Java 8 (Java 9 and 10 are not yet supported)"

Sigh is too much to ask for proper crossplatform support?
And when the hell they will add support for recent versions of Java????
> As does any competition.

Those are open-source frameworks, which is antithetical to competition. The whole point of open-source is that the contributions of one entity can benefit everyone, while in this situation, having so many frameworks "dilutes" the efforts because the same problems need to be solved in each framework. Smartphone makers aren't here to share their technical advances with everyone, they're here to make money.

I'm not saying we should purposefully agree on killing all but one framework, but the ideal situation is if one or two come out at the top as being just the best in their category so that everyone just use them, and all efforts converge towards those.
Interested to hear your full angle on this, not trying to flame bait here but genuinely curious.
> If I just wanted a private social graph with my friends on it, so that it's easier for us to keep in touch over time... where should I go?

Email?

Not that they're replacements for facebook, but I like and have reasonable trust in HN, reddit, usenet, IRC (freenode, efnet, rizon, stuff like that).
I thought US companies didn't need cause anyway...
I was about to post the same link. Linked article by OP has close to no information, meanwhile original article is easily accessible anyway.
Great reference :)

reddit used to have at least one very confident claim of a full cure for cancer make it to the front page per week, which we would then never hear from again if course. I fear the same will be the case here
I work for a large software company. I am not on our security team, but have worked with our security team to investigate and resolve reported issues. I agree that it should not be possible to fail this badly.

Even nonsensical reports to our security address will, with an SLA measured in hours, be read by a qualified human who will then reply to at least say "we're looking into it".

A credible report will be immediately escalated to someone with relevant domain expertise for investigation. The security engineer will attempt to reproduce.

A confirmed report will be escalated to an executive, who will determine urgency. For issues like this, where sensitive data is exposed, people will be woken up and several things will happen in parallel: the scope of the issue will be assessed, the root cause will be found, potential workarounds will be identified, a fix will be implemented, the potential existence of related issues will be investigated, and the reporter will be contacted to assess disclosure risk.

Even in the worst case, where a complicated vulnerability exists in multiple versions of multiple products, requiring multiple patches and backports and requiring coordinated disclosure with partners, I'd expect a fix to be in customers' hands within 14 days.
Alpine Linux 3.9.0 Released
Read this a few days ago through reddit. It sounded outlandish - like cryptocurrency ponzi promotion article.

That's why I didn't post it.
But that would only ban those iPhones not iPhones in general.
thanks for jumping in with this I think its a pretty rare case that an employer facing tens of billions in claims keeps paying into the comp plan and im pretty happy with PG&E right now. I think that likely its a good sign that they want to keep the employees motivated.

one other thing OP talks about is that the payouts are up to 90k for senior members. that's a far cry from the millions that we see bank execs getting. I dont think we should treat this with such hostility.
So, how is this comparable to what I wrote?
We are talking about China spying on foreign nations through the products sold by a national company.

Has it been proven that America did that? YES, unless you choose to dismiss Snowden's revelations.

Has China ever done that? NO, or at least it has never emerged.

These are the facts.

Is China a repressive regime controlling the digital comms of its citizens? sure thing, but what has this to do with what we were discussing above?

Basic logic, damn, basic logic.
Use of benzos in distressing situations is linked to PTSD.
Facebook certainly has established itself as a rouge data mining company.
They’re probably still running on their previous systems not Azure
Sure if you know to look for it you can find that setting and fix it, but how do you know which other settings also default to shady dishonest behavior and can you find all of them to fix? Obscuring the URL to present one thing as being the same as another is definitely a shady malware-style practice. Intentionally deceiving the user should not be the standard default for the default browser of one of the top OSes.
NVLink, which works between IBM Power CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs is already 9.5x faster than PCIe 3.0...

I bought one, but it was stolen from my porch before I got home.
Seriously, it boggles the mind. Right now is the best time to be alive and it's not even remotely close. 20 years from now it will likely be even better.

I mean, like 20 years ago HIV was still a death sentence. Now we have physicians saying they'd rather have HIV than diabetes. Just think about that!
This is obviously quackery.

They made some experiments in mice. Now they claim they have a cure within a year.

From the actual article ( https://m.jpost.com/HEALTH-SCIENCE/A-cure-for-cancer-Israeli... ):

"Morad said that so far, the company has concluded its first exploratory mice experiment, which inhibited human cancer cell growth and had no effect at all on healthy mice cells, in addition to several in-vitro trials. AEBi is on the cusp of beginning a round of clinical trials which could be completed within a few years and would make the treatment available in specific cases."

vs.

"We believe we will offer in a year’s time a complete cure for cancer."

Don't those two statements contradict each other?
Does this really sound that alien to people? I seem to recall the internet being controlled and blacklisted from a large portion of the population by AOL. Recall when people used to think that AOL keyword search was the entirety of the internet? This doesn't seem that much different from the old AOL tactics in my opinion.
