> Experienced team members don’t have enough time for mentoring as they have to perform their tasks.

Problem is right there, cultural, the perception that the only valuable activity is plugging away at the keyboard. I think many companies don't provide the time and flexibility for their people to grow together. Probably short-term vs long-term thinking.

The major issues with non-employed mentors are code access and familiarity. I would never allow this for security reasons. The mentor would not know their way around the code, tools, and practices.

The article decides to include employer-side payroll taxes in its US calculations as though this is an income tax - but this is not (appears not to be) done for other countries, where payroll taxes are often higher, so it's not a fair comparison.

"that nothing should ever change because otherwise you immediately slide down a slippery slope."

Incorrect. I am explicitly arguing that restrictions are imposed incrementally.

People are not going ignore a obvious direction (more rules not less). Purporting to have caught someone in a logical contradiction because they can use a compass is ignoring the fact that rules are countable.

You are for prior restraint here, why not implement it in future body mods?

Prior restraint _is_ to centralize power.
Ah thank you, just confused myself on wording for a minute there. That makes sense, original comment edited.
Characterisation of "most HN" and "Chinese overlords".

Your comment would read better absent both comments.

The notion of China being able to respond independently, with agency, is valid.
I do wonder what the impact of this is. I can't think of any good way you could study it other than surveying people. Does this have a discernible market effect under demographic most vulnerable to social pressure?
That's basically what happened to Padmapper, sadly.

With the amount of scams causing a decline of their platform, I'd think that Craigslist would want other sources of traffic. I know that most sites have a policy against scraping/indexing, but Craigslist has their head up their own ass.
You're making a huge assumption that the young mainstream picked iOS over Android was because of function over form.

You can't discount that their products are very fashionable (Apple markets well, they look great, everyone else has one).
How about a less fraught and more relevant example: when a famous model with clout wears an outfit then that makes the outfit desirable.
Weight lifting, specifically complex lifts with heavy weight fully engages me: if I don’t do the exercise correctly, either; (1) the bar doesn’t move; or, (2) I will hurt myself. I have focused, exclusively, on lifts of type #1. Things like squat, deadlift, bench press, etc., with moderate-heavy weight do the trick.
From what I've read, doctors are also substantial owners of the malpractice insurance companies. Also, their premiums are paid by their employers. In fact, salaries don't tell the entire story for doctors, since they are heavily invested in their own industry. For instance, at one point my health insurance provider advertised itself as being doctor-owned.

As mentioned above, a problem is that the system is so opaque, seemingly by design. A potential benefit of a government run system is that there could simply be fewer business entities. For instance, doctors could just work for the government, for a decent salary.
"then it becomes predominantly landlord owned and there are no affordable places anywhere"

I'm not sure I follow. Why would a large proportion of properties being owned by landlords reduce affordability?

"So the question becomes, if not rent control, then what do we do to keep our cities livable to a range of people?"

Allow people and companies to build apartment buildings, either on green field sites, or by knocking down houses. Stop allowing existing property owners (NIMBYs) to veto new building.
People just like to make it sound like it's a really big deal amongst young people. When in fact it's probably just one of dozens of reasons for which they phone they choose.

Treating young people like they are less savvy or reasoned about the decisions is always a mistake. Likewise you can't just treat hundreds of millions of people as thought they are one homogenous hivemind.
Definitely a good start but in a targeted attack scenario that's pretty trivial to bypass, if someone brags about having the latest Das Keyboard or something that's all it'd take... we need cryptographic authentication in the USB specification or at least a randomized serial that'd be unique per device so an attacker would need physical access to clone your keyboard.

I believe modern Thunderbolt already has this sort of cryptographic device authentication, which means not only physical access but at least a bit of reverse engineering skill, a much higher barrier than knowing their keyboard model.
I honestly can't understand why Google hasn't been able to replicate the success of iMessage. It can't be /that/ hard to figure out if the person on the other side is using an Android with a compatible Messaging app version and then switch over to an internet-handled chat.

This is why I still haven't bought a tablet. I was really excited to get the latest iPad with the A12 bionic, then I started looking into open source software (only really need two: password store and ssh) and realized it essentially doesn't exist.

And with the current state of Android tablets, I guess I just won't be getting one for a while.
So who is paying the scam Instagram influencers?

My impression is that who’s interested in this sort of service is something like small start up fashion brands that can’t afford an actual celebrity.

My brother makes independent video games, at one point he was approached by someone who offered to broker deal with Twitch streamers to promote one of his games.

How real the popularity of these streamers really was, effects whether this might have been a good idea or not.

Whether that evokes your sympathy or not, I guess the moral of the story, of you’re in the market for purchasing influencer services, buyer beware
My guess is that Google prioritizes new content over old with the argument that it is more relevant.

Student Charged $14k on Stolen Google Cloud Credentials
Hi,

In 2017, I made a Google Cloud Account to use Google Maps API for a Computer Science student group project and put my debit card in. I naively put a $5 account notification in, thinking it was a cap. This project was defunct after 2017 and I should have just closed the Cloud account.

All was fine up until January 2019 when the Google Cloud Credentials were somehow stolen and over the course of two days on Google Maps API, racked up enough API calls to generate over $14k invoice. I disabled the Google Cloud Account a day after I noticed an email from Google Cloud. Google Cloud did try to use debit card to deduct from checking account, but I don't leave thousands sitting around in it, so charge was declined.

I talked to Google Cloud Billing and they have not been helpful, telling me to contact my bank. Today, I got a scary email from a collections agency demanding I login to my Google Cloud account and pay the bill! Worst part is, this API used to be free, until Google started charging exorbitant amounts for it.

I know I did not make these API calls -- if you looked at the call volume history, there was nothing for well over a year, until those two days in 2019, it started going crazy (and the project is not running on any server or being used in any way). I suspect a group member might have accidentally leaked the credentials.

I know AWS has waived costs[1] like this in the past, but Google is not known for customer support. I should have been more proactive in setting up a cap.

Appreciate any advice or Google contacts to talk to an actual human. Should I see if Google is willing to actually verify this was unauthorized usage or just lower the bill? I'll eat a few thousand just to make this go away.

To say GCP has left a sour taste in my mouth is an understatement!

Thanks for reading.

I think this fear mongering in the US is a bad thing. Chinese students pay full tuition and help our universities financially. Tourists coming to the US help our economy.

With a well run immigration policy with reasonable and bi-partisan reform will help our economy, providing needed workers.
Signal does it just fine - I can only assume that Google is distracted or just doesn't care.
Thanks, great point.
I recently overheard someone say "They already know everything about me anyway, so I decided I might as well sign up with them."
"Install another OS" is not an acceptable solution, it smacks of technophile arrogance. Try giving that advice to any senior owning a Mac, wondering why their favorite (unsigned) app doesn't launch after updating their Mac OS.

Apple's entire marketing strategy revolves around customer empathy, but their actions don't
Note that outside the US the numbers are very different, if not for other reason than most people not being able to afford or willing to pay the iPhone premium.
From my experience, the broad opinion on this seems that people just don't care. Sometimes I share with my colleagues what I learn about Google doing at times (and these colleagues are software engineers) and what I get are

1. It's free, why are you complaining
2. There's no choice
3. Google has the best products (this was referring to Google docs stuff)

May be you guys can let me know what you think about those answers.
These types of surveys are at best directionally accurate, as I doubt their 8000 teens are a representative sample. Are we to believe that 20% of teens own an Apple Watch, as this survey suggests?

The linked document, as of when I wrote that anyways, was not a news article at all.

> ...A while back, I heard it much questioned whether Trump would leave willingly in 2020.

Do you mean Trump loses the election in 2020 and declares Marshal Law (or whatever) to retain control? I ask because I can recall that that accusation was leveled against Bush2 (by the Dems) and against Obama (by the Reps) so both sides of the aisle are guilty of spinning fantasy theories to rile their base.

More importantly... a while back, I heard it much mentioned that Trump removed the SS director to counter a deep state plot to JFK him (i.e. assassinate him).

Do you see what I did there? If this type of arbitrary, unfounded discourse continues between the parties (and their respective bases) and no common ground can be found it's only a matter of time before America is destroyed and collapses into a dictatorship, it does not matter if said dictator is from the left or from the right.
An option to highlight comments that were added since I last read the thread. Often when I find one interesting, I start reading comments (and possibly replying) early and check back several times. It's annoying to have to go over everything again that was already there last time. Right now I have to search repeatedly for '2 hours ago', '1 hour ago' and 'minutes ago', or wait until the thread has cooled down to read all at once.
Not exactly as strong as "crack test pilot", but from the article:

"after a few minutes of wrestling with the control yoke, the pilots on Flight 302 did invoke the checklist procedure, and moved the STAB TRIM switches to CUTOUT. The stabilizer then stopped responding to MCAS nose-down commands, but the pilots were unable to regain control of the airplane."

I certainly hope not.
I installed Kubuntu 18.10 on my MacBook Pro 2015 13" (12,1) and sleep doesn't work properly because of the USB3 controller. The MacBook will suspend correctly from a cold boot, but every suspend after that the MacBook immediately wakes up as soon as it successfully suspended. This a is a common issue[1].

As long as I still can't trust Linux to successfully deal with suspending without hacks, I'm not gonna move over. It needs to be bulletproof that if I close my laptop, put it in a bag, and then later open that bag my laptop A. wakes up and B. hasn't overheated and drained the battery. macOS gives that peace of mind, and I feel that is paramount for a laptop to be usable. I can't believe this is still not a fixed problem in the Linux world in general, and especially on a 4 year old device.

USB can and does work without custom drivers. It's the raison d'etre for HID.

But that requires custom software to interface with it and parse the data or make payload requests and developers are that lazy.
Probably that they consider it wouldn't generate revenue.

It's really very simple. The VM host that I'm using connects to a mainstream VPN service, which is quite popular for torrenting and such, using a server in the EU. Through that VPN tunnel, I connect with a different VPN service, which operates in someplace like Russia.

Then, through that tunnel, I connect with a third VPN service, which operates in some ~neutral country. And so on, until I'm satisfied, or the latency blows up. I'm happy with 0.5-1 second, for whatever that's worth.

After the third VPN or so, I typically connect with the Tor network. And if I'm really feeling paranoid, I add some hidden service VPS proxies, just for fun.[0] Or a homage to Kevin Mitnick,if you like.

Google talk/hangouts chat still works and does this. Although you are also correct in that case as Google is distracted and doesn't care about Google talk.

And of course fragmentation-- Even if Talk, Signal, Whatsapp and Telegram all support discovery and upgrade, the network effects (or lack of them) kills it in practice.

The compact isn’t structured to award based on who gets the strict majority (>50%) vote. It’s structured to award electoral votes based on who wins the national popular vote, which means a plurality of votes cast. It’s the same way all but two states currently award their electoral votes, but the compact is tying it to the national—as opposed to state-level—popular vote. Had the compact been in effect for 2016, the US would have had its first female president—if I’ve understood it correctly.

This isn't a big surprise, you should expect the tightening of the screws to continue and the pace of it to accelerate. The real issue here is general purpose computing. General purpose computing makes it possible to block ads, to rip your CDs instead of the industry forcing you to buy the same music again, etc. and as a result it is THE major obstacle to unlimited rent seeking and squeezing the last penny out of every user. Expect the industry to keep working in this direction until everything is as locked down as an iPhone.

I enjoy weightlifting and powerlifting as well, but I can't say it's ever maximally mentally stimulating. Yes, I have to concentrate in a way, but it doesn't feel like I'm thinking deeply or quickly, as I might while playing a team sport like basketball. Most of the mental effort is in concentrating on my muscle contractions, feedback from my nerves, and mental preparation before the lift.

Now that I type this out, I'm realizing that weightlifting (in an appropriate setting/mood) is not dissimilar to meditation.
