Dear Tech Company – Counter Narrative
I think it also explains why you see a lot of Apple hate in the tech community. It becomes a specification comparison by cost and the majority of people just don’t care about those things.

I enjoyed the article. I do not believe every article needs to include a call to action. Describing the situation can lead others to come up with ideas for solutions.

I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but OBS is pretty OK, while it takes a bit of a learning curve, Lightworks is pretty rad for video editing. If you haven't played with them, they're worth checking out.
For some reason I save the boxes of most of my consumer tech gadgets. Looking in the closet where I keep them makes feel sort of sick. At myself.

And yet I want this lamp.

Technology addiction. As a caffeine addict, I've 'gone off' it before, and for three days it's terrible. There is a very physical withdrawal.

With technology, the addiction manifests as a light, ever present anxiety. Both in the use and acquisition of such products.

I don't know where this all goes.
Since SystemD has become so prevalent in Linux, I've been looking longingly at BSD. The only problem is that I have a large number of machines that I'd need to move over, and it's a pretty intimidating amount of work. But I'm planning on beginning the move, one system at a time...

This is pretty good and deserves more attention. Github makes bug studies so much more approachable. Hopefully the study will make people more cautious about Go's concurrency model, which is as error prone as shared memory multithreading, if not more.
Hilarious that my only two comments I ever remember being downvoted on HN are for calling out this companies ties to people who launder money and evade taxes.
Yep happened at my last job. Ended up pissing away all the companies money on ill defined projects that were started but never finished. I was happy to be laid off from that job.

Yes, I always find it funny when I see just how easy it is to pass a vote of no confidence in parliamentary systems and have a new executive government set up. While in the US you have to wait four years(!) if you want a new government even if the majority of people do not want the current executive government in power.
Perhaps today. Particularly with our especially unrepresentative first past the post system that can only work for two parties. Going further back UK politics was much less whip-driven, or politics by pager as became the Blairite tendency. Minor parties were a more accepted part of politics, as was a far wider range of views within a party.
Which conspiracy theories, hoaxes, and populist ideas would you ban from being accessed by US civilians if you had the moral or legal power?
They exist as a way of pulling people towards issues and as a release valve if the primary party gets too corrupt.

Take the Green Party in Canada. Without it, the remaining left(ish) parties in Canada only have to go a little better than the Conservatives on the environment to get the environmental vote. With the Greens in, they have to at least meet them half-way or they risk further splitting the centre-left.

They also sometimes hold the balance of power. This puts their issue front and centre.
The good-old kiss of death from HN :)
There are only 4 different tones, so by the pigeonhole principle there must be lots of homophones.

On the other hand, most of the characters used to be pronounced differently when they were still commonly used as individual words, so the poem only works because it mixes modern pronunciation with classical grammar.
I disagree. Tariffs are the culprit here, rate hikes were needed and long announced. Really, the 2018Q4 expenditure, mostly unfunded due to the tax changes, hit at the same time as the full Fed rate impact landed.

Fiscal hamfist refuses to acknowledge the monetary hand.
Very impressive! I'd like to use this in regular python as well.
This should come as no surprise, but not for the reasons the author thinks.

>I could list 50 different reasons why but for us it boils down to two main facts. A very small percentage of our customers posses Bitcoin in a hot wallet ready to transfer and secondly, Bitcoin can be slow and expensive for small payments.

The main reason is that no one needs to use Bitcoin to pay for their locksmithing. Bitcoin is not your neighborhood Visa competitor. Bitcoin is your last resort payment method/store of value--for when you don't have access to traditional financial infrastructure (for whatever reason). This article is a signal only that people are not ideologically using Bitcoin as a payment (which is a good thing, I don't care to store payments on my node that would be better served by Visa).
> It's not W^X. W^X implies read-only pages are not possible, and they are.

What? W^X implies that Write and Execute or mutually exclusive, can't have both active at the same time.

> They "invented" that, what 5-10 years after Linux?

It's not so much that they "invented" it, but that they're much more diligent about making sure all the base system and ports use it. It's enforced that unless your file-system is mounted with "wxallowed" then any process that tries to mark a page both writeable and executable will fail.
> That being customers and businesses paying for goods and services directly between one another without having to rely on payment networks such as Visa.

We already have cash for that! It completely ignores the reasons why people use payment networks like Visa instead of just exchanging cash. There are fraud protections, credit, reward points, etc. What bitcoin brings to the table is simply not something very many people actually want for the tradeoffs involved.
The comedian Dylan Moran had a great bit about sports-people, that went something like "Are they happy? No! Who's happy? You! Sitting on your couch with a beer, roaring advice at the best athletes in the world"

Yes! Brexit is the best example for it.
Not judging about It, but clearly non off the politicians that proposed Brexit did a basic research or investigation for such a huge change and about how it should work and what is the impact. Which means they had a different goal.

You should make sure you have the right people in the system to make the right decisions.

Manipulating majority is not hard. And wrong politicians even from outside the system will do it just for the sake of taking power and their own interests.
I think it's a fallacy to assume that because ideas that connect people to engineers to economics are rare, people who are capable of it are rare. I think it's much more likely that many people can get lucky with a few great ideas, but overall most ideas are bad.

<still-unnamed startup in stealth mode> | REMOTE | 20-40h per week freelancers

Sorry for the vague description but I can tell you more about the product we're building when you apply. Hopefully I can attract you in a sufficient way with our tech stack (see below) and some keywords (blockchain, DLT, bitcoin, ethereum, mimblewimble/grin, smart contracts, DAI, atomic swaps, etc).

Job positions:

- Build engineer: you are a Linux-er who has some past experience building deb or rpm packages, are excited about reproducible builds, and are willing to learn (if you don't already know) new things such as snap or flatpak. gitlabCI and/or AzureDevOps is a plus. (Might do some DevOps work after we come out of stealth mode as well.)

- Desktop developer: you cringe at the idea of "Electron apps", because you think native frameworks like QT or gtk+ give much power and maintainability (plus, performance aside, javascript is a joke in any other aspect too). But you also understand why garbage-collected languages are safer & more productive than low-level ones, and there are many of these much more decent than JS. (gtk is preferred for this position at the moment; or someone willing to switch)

- Rust/blockchain developer: experience in Rust, or smart contracts (especially EVM or Ivy) is a must. Desirable to have experience writing bindings or familiriaty with zero knowledge proofs.

Important perk for all positions: all the code/scripts you'll write will be opensource, at least for the first 5-6months.

Write me at andrew.forsure@gmail.com

PS: Abstain from applying if you have/expect a managerial/lead role. We need manpower, not decision makers. (That doesn't mean you won't make decisions, just that we won't pay you to solely make decisions.)

Sompani UG | Software Developer & Ops, Engineering and Data Science positions | Berlin, Germany and Paris, France

Hiring Data Scientists, System Administrators, Backend Tinkerers and Frontend Wizards into our beautiful, freshly opened Paris office and in Berlin!

With us, you'll build something people love, from scratch. We have to be truly Agile and deliver in quick, little iterations. We also can't afford unstable code or unreliable systems. We take Software Crafting and Site Reliability Engineering very seriously. You will plan and grow software and systems as if it’s you own company. Your time at an early-stage startup like us will be a unique opportunity to grow Engineering/Ops skills and have fun at the same time.

What you bring to the battlefield:

If backend is your home, you could help us out with systems that are running PHP solutions, or implement new projects in Python or JAVA.

If you feel comfortable solving frontend and usability problems and know your way around any modern JavaScript-based framweork like Vue, Angular or React, please tell us what you love to do. We have a few solutions in the roadmap and don't have a tech stack set in stone.

If data and analytics is your thing, we are hugre friends of PostgreSQL. We love relational databases, and you should too.

If you love Linux systems and server just like we do (We use Arch on the Servers btw), help us design and implement new features and grow infrastructure. Research and coach us about how to improve the CI/CD pipeline (GitLab, Google Cloud, AWS). Deploying on a Friday night and actually enjoying the weekend is our end-game.

Write me, I'll reply to all messages: artjom@sompani.com
Good point. The last I heard, they were still working on bringing up an EU location (I believe it was Amsterdam).
And MDN is also using https://mdn.dev
This is a great point. The author completely disregards the fact that this is a tool, and a battle tested one at that. Moreover, GitHub has presumably done a lot of testing and analysis on how people use and navigate their site. The fact that author disregards this fact (or, likely possibility) shows a stark lack of understanding in the product side of design. Don't get me wrong, design and it's principles are important and I appreciate pretty stuff as much as the next user. But use those to inform your new products or features, don't assume that "bad" design is the result of poor design choices, but actually smart product decisions by a team with a good understanding of how users actually use the tool. Maybe I'm giving too much credence to GitHub's product team, but the author gave none so I figured I'd toss a vote of confidence their way.
Awesome, welcome aboard!
Well I see more people around me in London with a Revolut card than a Monzo card. And I can't blame them, Revolut is much better!

Depends on how you want to measure revenue. YT itself is a massive cash hole. It's the advertising that carries it. YT Red (and other types of paid service) are bumps in the economic redline.

"Google has never revealed YouTube's revenue" but you can quantify it (roughly) from known values and costs.

Ultimately profitability of a product within Alphabet depends on how you want to categorize technology within Alphabet. DFP and YT, at the very least, are separate products.
That must have been a long time ago. Insofar as I've experienced it while changing countries, rules have been tightened quite a bit in Europe and North America in the aftermaths of 9/11 and the 2008 financial crisis.

Seems I didn't miss the point at all. This is a conspiracy theory and not based on any fact, the theorist point to lack of proof as proof and ask us to disprove their ideas.

The actual information we have indicates that isn't the case. If you disagree, then I'd suggest you dig up something supporting that viewpoint.
It's not a question of taking linguists' word for it. It's a question of taking particular linguists' word for it. The discussion in that language log is interesting. You will notice that it isn't simply people calling "amen".

Certain things are settled: "will" in English behaves like other English auxiliary verb (setting aside those cases where it doesn't, as in contractions). Saying "English has no future tense", though, is settled only within the confines of a particular linguistic model with a particular technical definition of the term "tense", of which there are many.
Actually, tariffs seem to me to just another consumer tax.
Hold on. Did they just put their prices up? https://casper.com/glow-light/buy/ . It was $89 a few minutes ago now it's $99. Demand must be surging!
But to have our freedoms we must tolerate sharing them with those we don't like.

For instance, if right wing populism gains ground will the use of economic pressure turn upon progressive groups, without legal recourse?

The tools of oppression aren't necessarily bound by ideology, after all.
This is where we have to say, "It depends." Laws that throw up barriers to selling drugs without expensive testing and jumping through regulatory hoops are not there just to protect the profits of Big Pharma.

But some laws definitely exist to perpetuate crony capitalism. See the rules that make it nearly impossible to start a new bank in Canada.

And some laws exist to protect consumers from entrepreneurs that move fast and break the lives of people who trust them. See the history of banking before there were laws restricting banks. Note that these are the same laws, performing different purposes at different times.

This touches on Chesterton's Fence: It might be a good idea to remove a lot of the regulation around banking in Canada, but not without understanding all of the problems that those laws were designed to fix, and making sure that whatever replaces those laws serves the same purpose.

All-too-often, we hear "We no longer need that protection, circumstances have changed." This is often naïve, as the reason circumstances have changed is the presence of those outdated laws. Remove them, and we revert back to the circumstances that led us to create the laws in the first place.
strip(1) removes all debug info / symbols. But I was thinking of something that keeps the debug info but discards (or anonymizes) the personal info.
In the 1980's, the CTO I worked for (indirectly) met with me a couple of times on the high priority project I was leading. The second time, as I left his office, I saw the cover of an IT magazine, featuring the approach (maybe OO programming?) the CTO had just pitched to me, out of the blue.

Terrifying.
Gray/dark web stuff is different in America/most European countries than in other parts of the world though.

Just because something is perfectly legal here, doesn't mean that it's the same elsewhere.
Something I always mentor those that ask about an idea: “Any good idea you have, 100 other people have already had it. Any GREAT idea you have, 1000 people have already had it. The difference is how well you execute it.”

This is usually in the context of whether they should “share” their specific idea. What I always recommend is spread it broadly, and try to get help executing. Very few things these days can be done in isolation. What is most important is to “get going”, get a team and prove you can deliver.

Edit: minor fix for grammar
Interesting. Do you know why?
