Isn’t this the old specialization V commoditization roles? If you have skills I can get cheaper (e.g. full stack) then I’ll hire cheaper. Specialization has a smaller labor pool to draw from so salaries rise (e.g. cloud).

So that suggests the older you get then differentiations and specialization are king. How does one full stack developer separate themselves from another? If you’re an expert in a sought after area then they come to you.

I think college grads eventually get to this where they’re now looking over their shoulder to the nextgen and realize they either need an exit strategy or a longevity strategy.
Well, good news. Your vote is in fact counted the same as everyone else's.

Is your speech as persuasive as everyone else's? Obviously not, and there is no way I can see to make that happen. If anyone has a proposal, then, you know, cool. But what I see in this thread is a lot of people making vague airy proclamations and then ignoring all practical objections like, "How would that actually work? Would there be horrifying consequences?"
You can make any number of arguments why X, Y or Z is bad (or, "considered harmful"). The truth is, if you want to get stuff done, objects often fit the domain well enough and put state in predictable places. A bandaid here or there, "friend" classes and so on may be required. But, you'll get stuff done even if it's not in some perfect stateless beauty.

Analysis of Slippage on the Most Popular Cryptocurrency Exchange
I'm sorry, I'm not going to let you pretend like this is unclear. The debate over the meaning of the word "hacker" is the most famous semantic debate in this community, and one of the most famous on the Internet. The meaning connoted by the title of this site derives from the MIT hacker community. The meaning connoted by cDc is the the one from the movie Wargames. And this hasn't "changed since the 1980s"; the debate itself dates back that far.

The argument isn't about whether Beto was a part of hacker culture at all. Clearly, he was. It just wasn't the hacker culture the OP was referring to.
Another problem with the article is that it’s missing the data from before the change.
To reach a conclusion about a change, we need to look at the data before the change and the actual trend.

BTW, I think it is not unreasonable to expect that different models of funding or engagement are differently represented on the left and right sides of politics. Contrary to certain views, the left and the right are not two equal, symmetric, graceful wings of a bird, keeping society in balance: they're two different worldviews and sets of fears and priorities. It's not inherently surprising that one would find their business more profitable with a smaller pool of paying customers, and the other finds more profit in a larger pool of casual visitors to whom to show ads, or that one finds more funding from the rich, or that one's worldview requires deeper and more nuanced storytelling than the other to support its conclusions.
One of the problems with a cashless society is that the banks aren't required to give you a bank account.

If none of the banks will give you a bank account, and there's no such thing as cash... then you're just not allowed to have money. That shouldn't be a position that it is possible to get into.

Maybe he doesn't understand why one is less confusing to him than the other one. Doesn't mean it's not like that for most people though. The reason it's less confusing is familiarity and simplicity (it's simpler form and it's already familiar).

"there is no single development, in either technology or management technique, which by itself promises even one order of magnitude improvement within a decade in productivity, in reliability, in simplicity"

~ Fred Brooks, No Silver Bullet (1986)
Glad to see that part of the human race is still on the track to practical innovation (collision avoidance, small footprint, performance) as opposed to the perpetual Moore's Law paranoia arms race (crypto-secure, more bits, more rounds, constant utilization regardless of input to deter side channel attack).

If you're the slightest bit security conscious you realize that there is NO level below which security is not a factor. If that is the deciding factor these compromises (or as they would tell it, lack of compromise) will decrease overall UTILITY of technology and also increase its FRAGILITY.

The move to aggressively force HTTP to HTTPS even for Joe's Who Cares Web Site for no specifically stated reason is a prime example. If rounds and loops were temperature, it is as if we're shoving the Internet into thermal overload beyond convection cooling, without performing any additional useful work.

Meltdown mitigation is like economic inflation. A general performance decrease for a worst case threat scenario.

What price, paranoia? Is there an upper limit?
A “dict” operator would be vague because there is more than one way to combine dictionaries. Why should I have to guess whether duplicate keys are being skipped or replaced by a symbol, when two different well-named functions will always make it clear?

Waffle House is one of my late night haunts; there's not one near my Miami Home, but, there's one near my place in Cincinnati.

I've been in a Waffle House when a Bengal player walks in with his "crew," and he paid for everyone's food (including mine), tipping the wait staff with $100 bills.

I've also been at a Waffle House with a woman who ordered a salad. Suffice to say, that relationship didn't last at all.

Good nights end at Waffle House -- when one of my friends got married, we all went to Waffle House after the reception, bride and groom included.

The idle chit-chat, the consistent menu...Texas Bacon Cheesesteak Melt sandwich with a waffle, well done and a sprite. Open all night, half the customers are always diverse and or drunk or stoned off their ass, and still manages to have fewer fist fights than a Chuck-E-Cheez.
For a programmers' text editor, you could do a lot worse than starting with the Emacs UI. (Even if working on character cell terminals, and being familiar to users, are not requirements.)

We should always be experimenting and finding better ways to do things, but not every such project has to start with Rethinking the Modeline and Echo/Input Area. :)
I think "Fox New dominated" is the headline because the research it is reporting on shows that Fox News dominates the rankings in feeds.

The implications on life for the poor are terrifying!

Businesses would love to be able to exclude people too poor to use their services from society- It's a real ugly situation. Like a decentralized apartheid based on financial status.

Without the government stepping in and trying to prevent this discrimination, there is no one to stand up for these human being's lives

"Why one of cybersecurity’s thought leaders [Dan Geer] uses a pager instead of a smart phone"
It is quite obvious to me that the author is ignorant on the history of computing.

The reason of the popularity of OOP is way longer than java, Xerox invented the graphical desktop and ALSO OOP.

When Steve Jobs was ousted from Apple he created NEXT because he believed OOP was the next big thing. It was, and it became the foundation of MacOS X. Microsoft copied Steve Jobs in Windows with MFC. Java copied all of them.

In the words of Steve Jobs, developing in OOP is not faster than not using it. The big difference was once it had been created, it can be reused easily. That was essential for complex systems. It became obvious for companies.

There is this religion today of functional programing, people come to me and say, look how great this is, without state parallel programming is so easy, now you can use 32 processors at the same time. Great!!, until we measure performance and the thing goes 50 times slower. So now you can use 32 processors for what used to take one.

Don't get me wrong, we use functional programming when it is the best tool for the job(it removes lots of bugs), but it is not panacea.

Having had this happen to me twice now, my interest was piqued enough for me to start investigating the details. The Molex end of things appears to be mostly irrelevant, and the fire hazard seems to arise from either the design of, or the poor quality manufacturing of, the moulded SATA plugs, not the uh, un-moulded types. I would be interested to hear the experiences / opinions of the HN community in this matter.

While I don't believe much will come of this I fully support it. I think these schools need to have a sense of repercussions instilled in them. It's not enough to fire a coach, we need to hit them where it hurts.

The wealthy private universities are among the most powerful and least regulated institutions in the country and its high time we treated them as such.
Pictures of the Socialistic Future
That was fast. Just because something is not popular, it's not crapware. Nodejs libs are worse: they are proud to develop crapware software and have a extreme popularity by doing that.

Why we should support this type of software and attitude? There is something wrong with it.

It's not new news to me, but having a Google exec publically admit should be bigger news, in my opinion. In the testimony [0] he also positions Google's location service as something that's required for the phone to function and even make calls, which is untrue. Being a lawyer and apparently on Google's privacy counsel for a decade this may've been a disclosure on how deep the data-mining goes. These are the sort of details that should be pulled out and scrutinized by the media.

Unfortunately most of these news publications rely on things like Google's YT + Adsense for content distribution and revenue, so they may not want to anger their overlords. I also doubt anything will come out of this hearing -- people don't seem to care about privacy and they want convenience. Although this senator understands the privacy concerns, most of his peers are clueless.

Pager Trauma Statistics Daemon, PTSD (2016) [pdf]
"Engagement" is unfortunately a proxy for "profit," if a business is ad-supported or otherwise has revenue proportional to use. And it is basically illegal not to optimize for profit. (You do not have to micro-optimize every decision for short-term profit, but you do have to act in the best interests of the company, and the best interest of a for-profit company is, at the end of the day, profit.) Netflix has said one of their major competitors is now the desire to go to sleep instead of keeping watching, for instance.

If you want to make optimizing for engagement illegal—a plan I support, tbh—you need to eliminate capitalism either from the inside or the outside. From the inside, you can try to win hearts and minds of customers and employees with endeavors that aren't structured for profit, e.g., public-benefit corporations or perhaps hybrid non-profit models (like Mozilla, or like OpenAI's new thing, which I am cautiously optimistic about, or like Etsy before they gave up their B-corp status to save the business, which is part of the caution in my optimism). If you can hire all the best employees away from the Facebooks and Netflixes of the world to the Mozillas and Etsys of the world (which, given the number of software engineers who are incredibly frustrated about spending their days micro-optimizing ad engagement, doesn't actually seem that hard), you can probably out-compete them. Or, from the outside, you can just make for-profit companies past a certain point of profit straight-up illegal (which is to say, make the government cease to recognize corporate structures beyond certain limits - this isn't additional government intervention, this is just the removal of government protections for corporations like the corporate veil, work-for-hire, "right-to-work," tax advantages, etc.).

Well, technically it solves to x = z when y <> 0 and any x, z when y = 0 though I'm not sure if that's the original intention.
"they seem to assume that all the photons' degrees of freedom are described by pure states according to both observers. This seems wrong to me. The observation of the photons by Wigner's friend creates an entanglement with the degrees of freedom in the friend's body, so the state of the photons themselves become mixed according to Wigner (I mean the external observer), not pure. So I think that when these things are done correctly, it's not possible to find this kind of a "contradiction" in practice."

How long did it take you to grok unification? It has always seemed quite mindbending to me and I don't think that I have ever properly understood what's happening
Yeah, fair enough. I work in a position where the deadlines for what we are building are mostly self imposed (we of course want to be competitive with other businesses that do what we do, so there is some sense of urgency, but it is not going to significantly impact the business if we late by a mont or two on something). While we do have deadlines, they are somewhat flexible as long as you can give a really good reason why you can't meet it.

I think the only thing you can do in this situation is to express frustration with whoever was involved in determining the 3 month deadline. You can only tell them that it is not enough time and that they should involve some technical people when making decisions like that. If they don't like what you have to say or the whole strategy of the company is actually based on doing things cheap and fast, then maybe it is time to move to a new company that has an environment which is more aligned with your values.
That depends very much on the cow. Plenty of animals never see the light of day until their trip to the slaughterhouse.
Let's start with the obvious question - why all of those sensors require internet connection AND accounts. Seems absurd.
So google then? Haha well let us not forget Apple denied the FBI a backdoor and to unlock an iPhone. Hmm wonder how that would have turned out if it was any other company. Sorry but that spoke massive volumes to me. And when those FBI text leaks came out they were going to harass Tim Apple lmao. But I see a lot of errors & more personal opinions that lacks evidence but ok. But by all mean please if you have more to show please do we all need to know. This Has nothing to do with fanboy either I use both and the comparisons is night & day. Also I'm only interested in censorship in places it shouldn't be. In China that's how it is. Although we disagree that's there way of life and it's just the same as if you were to fly into there country and stay for a few days you'd obey there laws right? Or go in with your country's laws? Pointless to add that imo. So if that is a problem for you. I suggest taking it up with China the ones who call the shots not Apple. Its annoying for that to pushed on someone or something that absolutely has no power over a country. Dumb,Just sayin. I'd prefer that business not to be conducted there. But kinda to late for that when everything says made in China.

How bout that prism 5 privacy phone? Hope it's successful and provides the needs which we all grown accustomed to with all these apps. Over all even tho I dislike there practices and absurd prices. And just putting out there I know my way around the phone then the average because both views are different, I'd rather stick with Apple a hardware company than a software company like google 2 different agendas. And to just be flat out real & honest where can you go? Everything is doing F*ckery everyone decided to wait to damn long to say anything when I know majority of us here knew about it all way back but the sheep heard didn't budge till recently to damn late they grew to powerful and google no longer needs you to have there device or any on you to track you. Plus everyone just welcomes all there products into there home already. If they are gonna farm my data I at least expect it to be handled like it's gold. And they could offer a paid version that we can choose to use that will keep our data off limits since we are paying for it. They still get there money. I personally think if we are paying outta pocket our data is off limits. The isp sells our data so why do we still pay for cable? Sometimes I think a solar flare would be nice and reset everything but I doubt people will learn.
