My point is simply that they haven't been found guilty of anything yet, just charged. If they're subsequently cleared of any wrongdoing, but their market value is tanked by the accusation, they're effectively being punished for nothing.

It's notable that younger people have a way more repressed sexuality than folks which are in the 35..40 to 60ish age bracket currently.

Ask HN: Should I work at a startup or obtain an MEng?
I am a Electronic Engineering student in my third year and I may have the opportunity to work on embedded software at a start-up after graduation. Currently, I am enrolled on a 4-year MEng programme, but I can choose to graduate with a BEng.

The MEng modules provided by the university focus heavily on IC design, but I enjoy programming more and I already have some relevant software experience.

Career-wise, would it be better to graduate early and get some work experience, or finish my MEng and work afterwards?
What the GP meant is literally quite strange. You get reimbursed re conditions of the contract, period. If the insurer doesn't pay it's either a legally correct action or not. If legally correct you get what you paid for. If incorrect you need legal recourse. The only type of insurance possible against an insurer not paying is legal insurance. Otherwise you are asking for an insurance for you not understanding the terms and conditions. That's typical.

Depends on the version. H3/H5 SOC based has been for the most part in mainline for some time now, although lacking Mali GPU support. I run Armbian with mainline kernel on mine since 2017.

Not really. I was kind of interested in it the first time I saw it and clicked on it, had a play with the site. It then apparently recognized me after that and -- knowing now what I know about the product -- I suspect the advertiser started spending a lot more money on getting my attention.

I suspect the cuff one had a similar setup. I saw it once, abandoned a cart with it, and then maybe 30% of all ads I saw afterwards were the product.

When I was a teenager, underground things that you only heard about through word of mouth, were cool, and I think it still is. The ones actually interested will find these things beyond Google or Facebook, which is the in-your-face mainstream in 2019. However, there is no money in it, like it should be with communities.
One bubble you will find very hard to get out of is the search bubble, defined by the big 2-3 search engines, predominantly Google. And that bubble pretty much defines the Internet itself for most people.
> The Pi is _easy_

The criticism of the article is not about the Pi being hard or something.
One thing I don't understand is why there's no added arduino on the board as an option. The a la mode isn't the same form factor - and an arduino chip would be cheap to add and provide so much embedded options like adc and much more pwm. Every project I've done included an arduino and it's a pain that they don't sell a combo in one board.
And costs 50% more. And I wonder what you are doing with the power, if you don't have any software to use.
And for all the people out there looking for a PC/NAS/...: for 100USD (barely 30% more, than everything more beefy than said RPi) you can get a NUC, an atom-based-ITX-board or even a real (tm) x86-embedded system (which is also sipping power if that's what you're after): https://www.pcengines.ch/newshop.php?c=4
Apologies - there was a subtle race condition in our code which meant that if you try to log in to the demo at the instant we're resetting our demo's data, you end up using stale demo credentials. This has now been fixed :)
Perhaps because that's not specific to the pi and the same issue is present on every SBC (unless you jump up in price dramatically, but you could argue that's the case for the network speed issue, and in fact most of the article).

> it is also the birthplace of commedia sexy [1]

> [1]: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commedia_sexy_all%27italiana

Sure enough, the Italian genre name is commedia sexy. I'm always interested in phrases like this -- sexy is obviously an English word. It's very common for foreign words to be borrowed when the speaker feels that the concept they express doesn't have a good match in his own language. I'm pretty confident that everything I understand by the word "sexy" can be idiomatically expressed in Italian that is not obviously foreign. Do you happen to know what the Italians mean by using "sexy" as opposed to a more natural-looking word?
That's a fine point, but the question was probably asked in the context of the nominal values.

That's partially because job postings are an SEO play, so that long list of requirements is more about trying to get as many eyeballs as possible on the page. Job postings used to be as short as possible because you were paying per line in the newspaper. Search engines changed that.
Docker, cloud hosted VM from templates, vagrant, Azure, AWS, it doesn’t really matter much to me. The important thing to me is that I no longer have any need for anyone else doing company wide infrastructure.

Oblivious to the fact that the only thing we need from them is to negotiate an Azure or AWS subscription and after that they will loose any utility.

A lot of talented people are going to find them self in a problematic situation because the area in which their talents lie is only going to be handled by low wage jobs at google, Azure and Amazon.

I would also blame religion if not that here in Sweden we went from accepting sex and censoring violence to accepting violence and censoring sex, within about the span of almost just 10-20 years. The norm just changed and its very noticeable in movies if one compared those made before 1990 and those made after 2000.

There is no corresponding change in the religious demographic. If anything that demographic went down until 2015, where for other reasons it started to go up.

The question: "Why it’s so hard to find roles in cloud technology, while jobs go unfilled."

The answer: "The key thing here is that businesses are not hiring fresh-out-of-certification AWS experts to take over the infrastructure of their established operations teams. They want people with solid experience, a risk-free bet that the new hire can execute the tech flawlessly. This often means insane job requirements [...] and an existing track-record of success."

So jobs openings stay empty because companies have unrealistic expectations. Is that something new and surprising? This is the pattern in tech recruiting as far back as I can remember.

90% of my work comes from word of mouth recommendations, but I also did a little bit of work on Upwork if you want to see what clients say about my work (Profile for verification https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~0135175b097b830fd3):

"Once again Tobias has done an excellent job, above and beyond what was first discussed. I would recommend Tobias to all prospective employers."

"Tobias was exceptional in all his work - he improved our app's performance and saw it through to it's first release. He was punctual with deadlines, worked to a high quality and was very thorough in checking details."

"Tobias was outstanding- and even went over and above to add functionality to my childrens app. We will absolutely use his services again - great communication and for a remote worker I never felt I was left "hanging". Thanks Tobias!"

"Tobias was great and super fast. You know the saying - you get what you pay for? - Well I did. Totally top quality guy and built me a wordclass app with a framework to build future versions myself with Zero coding. I will be working with him on future projects."

You get that in this case Atom-boards or the odd AMD Geode are a lot better than any of the * -droids out there?

The RPi has it's own specialties, especially the price. For 40USD (give or take) you get a system:
- which might be running proprietary FW but still has it documented and allows you to run any OS you can imagine;
- is (partly) manufactured in Europe!;
- has an actual company/community behind which is caring for the product/itself way more than the "let's make some-money from the rich DIY-guys in EU/US"-* droid-company

I don't buy this argument. It works for things like "unlucky" numbers others mention, where there is basically no economic side effect (outside superstitious group no one cares about their seat number)

Shops that didn't sell black doors would be losing business from non-superstitious people looking to buy black doors, which might be a bigger factor if superstitious group is relatively small.

I think adult content is more similar to black doors than seat numbers.
Like most other web professions, there's a huge variance in quality.

For sure. I think there is both demand and it's possible to scale it. We have examples of amazingly successful group curation at scale with wikipedia, stackoverflow etc. We also have forum platforms that successfully curate information, Reddit, HN etc (which many people use to find better recommendations than Google).

However, the value in curation is only on a particular subset of queries. Those where you want to discover information and have some introductory terms to go on ("Motorbike Safety", "Analytics SAAS", "Buying a Fridge" etc). What youre looking for is an expert in a niche area to point you in the right direction. Curation is very beneficial here.

The second type of query, where you are looking for a specific piece of information (specific business, specific book review, weird fact) etc Google already does fine on. And curation wont help (nor will it scale on such precise info).
I think American attitudes are prevailing in a lot of things, hence comments about cultural imperialism. Not surprising really, nor Americans not really noticing it - it's hard to notice the idiosyncrasies of the place that inculcated you. It takes an American or other outsider to notice the strange habits or ideas that shaped me in Britain, and vice versa.

Just by seeing those mostly US views everywhere online my kids and their friends have a more American view, whether that's in social mores or simply not being aware that EU or UK have better consumer protections or other differences. It's rather sad to see everywhere slowly homogenising.
This is such a negative attitude. A person tried something new in the accessibility space, so what if you think it's trivial.
What does a scam mean? That it doesn’t have value? That it only has value for a select few scammers?

Crypto as a way to avoid taxes, buy goods on the black market, and as an alternative to a shaky local fiat currency are all great examples of crypto’s value.

Also, there’s also the investment angle. It (hopefully) operates as an uncorrelated store of value much like gold or other precious metals.

I think it would be very hard to argue that BTC and ETH are scams, that is, created for the purpose of the scammer stealing from the “scammee.”
Others in this thread think that's the influence the USA has had via their multinational tech companies.
> if they operate in the EU then they will have to follow EU law and discrimination against people for _any_ reason is illegal

This is totally incoherent. Lack of discrimination is the problem that Google solves. Search results can't all be first; that would be the same thing as not having a search engine at all.

It's a bit of a reach to call Instruments a replacement for DTrace. A replacement for a subset of DTrace perhaps. And maybe they'll massively expand it over the next few macOS/Xcode versions. Or maybe it'll suffer the same fate as a lot of Apple's OS features and end up rotting away until it's no longer sensibly usable.
Honestly there are lots of solid alternatives. I had macs from the 90s to the 2007ish MacBook. After that I got frustrated with how unrepairable they became so I've been using dells and lenovos since and there are a lot of good options.

One credit to Apple, I had an imac that lasted forever. I loved that machine. But finally the disk died and I had to take the whole thing apart and the screen out just to replace the disk. That was the last Apple in my life. Good riddance! :)

But you can spend your money as foolishly or thoughtfully as you want. That's your call. Just try not to be suckered into thinking there aren't alternatives.
I think the OP was not speaking about selling black doors, but having black doors in their shop, e.g. the entrance.
It's superstitious nonsense. Presumably it's historical and a means to control people.
Yeah but many of the small communities get smaller and smaller until they die away.

For example in the pre-Facebook time there used to be a great amount of online chats to get to know people or just for chit-chatting. Then Facebook came, of course everybody was excited and many of the small websites closed down. Those that are left are usually packed with weirdos and fakes, it's a real pity. Although it was all pseudonymous I think back in the days there were less fakes than on Facebook. Not to talk about IRC or Newsgroups, which have become more niche then ever.

Well or HN... There used to be high quality content elsewhere, for instance Dr Dobbs was really nice. Now all that stuff is extremely centralized.

I don't really see this trend reversing at the moment. Despite people talking about decentralization since 3 years or so.

Probably it's Google's fault ;)

Also 90% of the population is in the developing world where it might actually be the case that BTC is more trusted than their local currency.

I think it’s myopic to consider the value of crypto against the 1st world’s banking system with respect to ‘standard’ transactions.

The value lies in either: ‘non-standard’ transactions (buying black market goods) or in developing nations.

I have no idea what makes you say that. As far as I'm familiar with these roles, none of them are low paying. These companies tend to pay very well because of the amazing scalability involved in these roles. Any engineering work that scales linearly with the number of users is automated almost immediately and the focus is generally on very high-level work.
