And it's your right to simply change that privacy policy whenever you see fit, and you still have my phone number. There is nothing legally and systemically that revokes your right to that.

It's intrinsically a bad thing because our general trust model is simply fragmented and thus poor. See my point above.

At this point, I’m convinced google are actively harmful to the internet.

Trying to centralise as much of the internet and how people interact with it under their control is dangerous and open to widespread abuse - and this is already happening.

My comment was specifically about the last line of his post. His economic situation was not caused by Walmart. Walmart is a lifeline to many, many Americans. Both consumers and their employees.

While I don't agree with them using "part time workers" to avoid paying benefits, no one is forcing these people to work at Walmart.

Furthermore, the author of the article is claiming that Walmart has helped Americans by saving them billions on the goods they purchase. The user I"m replying to is claiming they've cost Americans billions in taxes because of how they structure their employee compensation. Both are right but I'd tilt the balance of "good" towards Walmart. In a world without Walmart, these people would have LESS employment opportunities and we'd all pay more for the goods we purchase from traditional regional/local stores.

Walmart is a creator, it's easy to criticize creators while we all sit on the sidelines doing nothing.

See, that's a perfectly valid and logical reason right there. Unfortunately, the author didn't go into that and just left it at personal preference.
If the OP liked startups so much I think they should have just tried to be a founder. It doesn't take a lot of math to realize non-founders usually get a pretty bad deal. Unless someone is particularly enamored with startups or can't get a job at a well-paying bigco (which there's no shame in, but let's call a spade a spade) it's pretty clear your 10% chance at realizing <1% of a company's valuation will pay out less money than the guaranteed increase you would make at bigco.

But since bigcos have so greatly outstripped startups in terms of the compensation packages they can offer, that's why I think all but the most technically challenging startups should GTFO of the bay area. Your compensation package probably won't be able to compete so you probably won't end up with very good talent, on average. So just go somewhere in the interior of the country and pay above-market there for engineers who maybe could have got hired by bigcos but wanted to stay in their area.

It might. Using Opus does not equate to low audio latency. (I don't actually know Opus, but I have passing familiarity with it's predecessor speex). Assuming Opus has the same design goals as speex, Opus gives you the tools necessary to implement a low-latency audio application. As in - the audio codec piece is "solved", now you need to do the engineering work around client/server/framing/network etc. to actually get to your latency goals.
Ill take that risk.
Great response to user feedback!

I think I understand what they were saying above, and I don't think it's the interpretation that dragonwriter makes in a sibling comment.

They weren't saying that kodz4 was using NVC. They were saying that the problem they have with NVC is that it has the potential to come off the same way that kodz4's comment has the potential to come off.

They were saying that kodz4's comment felt disingenuous to them because it asserts their opinion that NVC is good by stating it as fact, and that they would eventually realize this "fact" only once they have "a few big unrecoverable screwups in life" (thereby implying that since they don't like NVC, the only explanation is that they have never experienced such things in life).

The implication is that the reason for their disagreement on the value of NVC is because those who value it have learned more from life than those who don't value NVC.

And yet, the comment is worded empathetically, starting with, "It takes time." And it ends with the advice, "And then pick up the book," which could be interpreted as veiled condescension since it again assumes the person hasn't read the book, because if one knew the information contained in the book, there's no way they could disagree.

It re-frames the discussion of two alternate opinions, as an assumption of fact versus "haven't yet learned the fact." This is disingenuous, since it assumes one side must have more information than the other, instead of acknowledging the possibility that each side just has different information.

And I think they were simply saying that this disingenuous re-framing of discussions to further one's own goals or opinions in hopes the other side doesn't recognize the disingenuous re-framing of the discussion, is something that NVC and kotz4's comment had in common.

In the same way that the person using NVC may not be doing it disingenuously though, so to might kodz4 realize they're treating their own opinion as a fact. But that may also be the problem with such forms of communication, that they have the potential to be interpreted as disingenuous even when they're not.
So you are basically saying that Google stands above the law? Well, I think the copyright reform should be your smallest problem.
Yeah. That’s my worry: they’re implementing what soothes their conscience and calling it stoicism.
They can be used as evidence, though they don't definitively prove anything (Popper style). What you stated is basically post-modernism in a nut shell, but the problem with post-modernism is there's only a limited number of parsimonious explains those which can account for all observations. Everything could be brain-in-a-vat delusion, but it's not the most parsimonious explaining because it drags with it a bunch of other complications and assumptions. It's true, though, that one can only be sure of one's own existence.
>It is absolutely a choice, both on the individual and community level.

Eviction, the gateway to homelessness, is in no way a choice. Inability to accumulate, pay or borrow capital is so seldom a choice, the word is effectively meaningless in the context.

>Until a society arrives at a consensus in which a sufficiently large quantity of individuals with access to sufficient resources are obligated to offer free housing and other benefits to everyone, that society has implicitly chosen to accept the existence of a population of individuals who live in tents alongside sidewalks.

That is true, but it has to be said it totally contradicts your first point, because sufficient and sweeping redistribution of housing and housing capital is the answer to nothing but the coercive suffering felt by those who lack capital, not the answer to some alleged "choice" taken by the sufferers.

Except stoicism doesn't say what the article claims it does, so maybe it's about the convenience of a corruption of stoicism.

Kind of how the "prosperity gospel" is a very convenient form of Christianity to have if you're wealthy, even though it seems in opposition to the general interpretation of the teachings of Jesus. You can't blame Jesus for people thinking their wealth is sanctioned by God just because people adhere to the prosperity gospel.

Did the same thing a few weeks ago. The original reasons were that gmail was incredibly slow in FF, and I wasn't really comfortable with Google reading my mail.

People point out that the email is read by an automated system, but that doesn't change the fact that Google is building a profile of me and selling it to advertisers.

With Fastmail there's a business model I can understand. I pay them money and they provide me a service.

The really dark side of all this is that we're quickly moving towards a world where you only get privacy if you can afford it.
This was happening with mere coax cable TV providers way before the internet took up the strategy. I do think there is a way through it with local actions against the cities who are signing these exclusivity agreements, but that movement is heretofore disorganized.
This is awesome! I ran into this exact issue yesterday evening trying to debug a NPE on foo.bar().baz().hello()

IMO overhead should not even be a consideration. It doesn't make sense to sacrifice detailed reporting just so someone can repeatedly handle NPEs as part of their application's logic. I can't imagine a situation in which I would look at code that throws enough NPEs for overhead to be a concern and say "yes this is well designed code"
As a former startup and FANG employee, I absolutely agree that working at a startup AS AN EMPLOYEE is not financially beneficial. The only ways to really make money as a non-founder employee at a startup is by being lucky enough to be at a Google/FB/Uber type exit for billions (not millions), or coming in as senior leadership (VP/CxO type role) AFTER the startup has gone through its growing pains, determined product market fit, and is seeing good traction. This is honestly as it should be - as an employee you are taking far less risk than founders (and to be fair, than most investors as well), so you shouldn't expect a massive windfall. As some people have commented, reason the cost benefit is out of whack is mainly due to recently inflated salaries (over the last few years) that came about as the result of FB/Google poaching wars, so this is a relatively recent development, and who knows how long it may last.
"Qualcomm’s business model, which is either ingenious or diabolical depending on whom you talk to, is to allow any chip company to use its technology royalty-free. Phone manufacturers can choose to buy chips from Qualcomm or one of the other five companies that make modems using Qualcomm’s technology. Either way, they (the phone manufacturers) still have to pay Qualcomm its 5 percent."

Anytime a criticism of China's social credit score is brought up, there's always a "yeah but US credit score", yet I still don't understand how the two are even in the same ballpark.

The social credit score in China is far more invasive and penalizes you for associating yourself with individuals who have low scores.

To compare the two is disingenuous and reaks of whataboutism
I think the fear come from how hard it would be to dig out of the hole. People make mistakes. Under the American system the mistakes expire after time.

I have not heard of the expiration of offences in this system. This social credit system is new an may evolve with time.

I'm subscribed to this for a few months now and I must say that in general I'm pretty positive about it. However, it is usually a mixed bag of topics and the perceived quality -- or actually how much I enjoy reading the curated articles -- differs from day to day. Some days it is just a collection of "I did this thing in Typescript/Vue/React" type of articles and it just happens to be my preference that I dont find most articles about front-end dev not that interesting.

However, there are more than enough more "fundamental" articles in it every week. Whether it is about computer graphics, language theory or something about quantum computing, it is generally a nice mix. And I like that you can vote on the emails whether you like them or not (I don't know if this does anything but the idea is nice).

Oh, and I think that the "I already read this one on Hackernews or /r/programming" is pretty low.

AMP gates the JavaScript it allows and requires asynchronous evaluation. 3rd party JS is also allowed, but it has to be in a sandboxed iframe which, in a browser at least, would guard some of the user's state from exfiltration attacks (it's unclear to me if the iframe feature is available in email AMP).

Java sucks in a lot of ways, but the reasons why it sucks and the methods for mitigating the parts that suck are well-known. On the plus side, you get an ecosystem with high-quality libraries and tooling that actually come with documentation and examples, you get a good-enough type system to allow reasonably safe and strict development, and you can easily find solutions for any pitfalls you fall into because it's likely 1000+ people have already done the same. As a member of the http://boringtechnology.club/, I embrace Java's warts and enjoy its usefulness.

My advice:

- avoid frameworks like the plague

- write in a functional style

- lean on the type system as much as possible

- don't chase the trendy stuff

- avoid annotations

- use code generation

This isn't quite accurate. A bunch of municipalities would like to run their own broadband but are prevented from doing so by successful lobbying from the CableCo's which occurred at the state level[0,1,2,3]. So crony capitalism, sure, but it's not at the hyperlocal level.

^Thanks for the comments. As I said there is a spectrum of startups. You have to make your own judgement - especially if you're joining 3-5 person startups without any funding. But that said the median Valley-based Series A/B/C startup would probably offer a competitive package or atleast they'll be upfront about it and not waste your time.
On a side note - any tom, dick and harry can create a angel.co profile. I would discount 90% of them there. Basic due diligence - crunchable, SEC filings (on funding), any press articles, digging into founders' linkedin profiles should help you separate the wheat from the chaff.
Yes, but it probably makes Node.js useless in any such company since any non-trivial app will have 1,000 npm dependencies.

Show HN: SentCode – Unlimited Web Development for $290 per Month
Hello all!

We launched https://www.sentcode.com a few weeks ago and since then we didn't stop for a second. We basically offer unlimited web development for a fixed monthly fee.
I truly believe that we are offering a great service that people gladly pay the small price as it helps them a lot in their own businesses.

I'm right here in case you got any questions, and I hope I can contribute as much as I can to this community!

>Stoicism about personal responsibility, about changing what you can and accepting what you can't.

Determining what you can and can't change is an (almost) impossible task on its own. The way you describe Stoicism can be used to persuade a person that their status is unchangeable and that it should be accepted as "part of Nature's plan".
This is something I'm pondering a lot these days. I am the co-founder of a startup that I'm in the process of winding down. We had some success but ultimately never gained sustainable market traction in a very hard to penetrate market.

Having bootstrapped the company to revenue and kept things very lean and with costs and employee salaries funded initially through personal savings and a little bit of debt, I didn't take a dime of salary for myself in over 3 years.

I always told myself the experience would be incredibly valuable regardless of what ultimately happened, knowing the chances of success were slim but opting to go for it anyway, because how else was real change effected? Yes, I've definitely learned a lot, would do things very differently a second time round and have gotten some experiences (good and bad) that I wouldn't otherwise have had, but I'm finding it hard to see much upside in the past 3 years right now. I see my colleagues doing well in their careers and seemingly every other startup founder I've met, crushing it, although I have also seen a few failures over time.

I've tried to sell what's left of the company but have had little interest. I've applied to jobs in the Bay Area but it's clear hiring managers don't know quite what box to put me in and would rather go with the brand name and "safer" candidates. Yes I'm being a little selective in where I want to work, but it's hard not to stick to your ideals after standing by them for the past 3 years.

Hopefully it'll all be part of a glorious master plan that becomes apparent in decades to come but at this point who knows! It's definitely given me a better appreciation for the risks that entrepreneurs (including early employees) take and a greater respect for those who do go out and grow something that truly makes the world a better place.
