That only works if you're a really early employee. Most moderately successful companies reach the point where their equity grants are worth enough that the exercise cost plus tax bill for an early exercise will be in the thousands.
I've had several discussions about this and, as inhumane as it might sound...I'm not sure what value news has in its current form. I don't feel like I'm learning more about other humans, I'm just being spoon-fed a carefully crafted narrative.

If the purpose of news is to disseminate useful information then it has failed. It's now about opinion, entertainment, advertising and maximising engagement (usually by getting people pissed off because misery loves company).

There was a recent story in the UK about a young man from the North West who plotted to murder an MP, who also happened to be a paedophile and a white supremacist (according to reports). Most of the news is a dramatic retelling of how a young kid could get to that point so soon. Our national broadcaster, the BBC, gave him the gift of notoriety and I can't imagine what that has done to his ego except to say he was right.

That isn't news, it's fetishising a burgeoning problem in our politics and titillating readers.

Upskirting celebrities getting out of cars and getting sly bikini shots from a telescopic lens somehow has more priority over proper investigative journalism that can have a positive, legal outcome.

In a more simplistic way, we revel in the pain of other people.
The point of autoML from what I've gathered is to make it as easy as can be to get a model working in production. AutoML at least AutoML Vision is using transfer learning to retrain X number of layers from their algorithm (the one google uses is escaping me right now). The number of layers it has to retrain is the value they offer, it tries and tries optimizing for accuracy.

I've had good results with it, but you do have to do things their way and its not always well documented. If you want more control you should create your own model and host it on google app engine, otherwise AutoML is what it is, no way to customize or tune it other than changing the training data you give it.
Could you add links to the relevant threads on HN to this listing e.g. by linking the HN score there? This would give access to both the PDF for those who just want to read the thing as well as to the discussion for those who wonder what made it reach such dazzling heights on HN.
Threat to Global Economy: Middle-class life is unfair, expensive, and uncertain
The amount of attention I personally pay to the news does not appear to have a nonzero effect on the quality of politicians we get.
There are different approaches, it depends entirely on what your strategic goals are for the city. You can drop leaflet propaganda informing citizens to evacuate such as they did in Aleppo [1] and many other places. The premise is simple: give harbor to combatants and you will be treated as such.

Here's a great site that has some leaflets from the Iraq war: [2]

No.
It suggests open source is simply non-trivial to get right and requires a lot of time and effort that isn't always well spent doing that when you first start out. Time you spend on that is time you spend not on your product. I would strongly suggest you choose one or the other (IE either do a good job of it or don't do it at all).

I also think you are vastly oversimplifying this.

You also seem to have an interesting view of what happens when you open source stuff that is not at all consistent with what i've seen over the past 20+ years across a variety of projects.
But YMMV, of course.

SAE Side-Channel Attacks
I cannot see how anyone could not see the blatant and purposeful right-wing propaganda of Fox.

It's easiest to see propaganda, when the lies are about you/your side. To see how CNN or MSNBC fit Noam Chomsky's "propaganda model" you have to look at the times when they pushed narratives against the truth. To do that, you need to have some perspective outside the bubble around CNN and MSNBC, or be unlucky enough to have them push a lie or false narrative about you.

Maybe. Maybe we are brains in a vat plugged into an ape's body... or something similar. Where when you take control of an animal's body your actual memory is masked so you experience reality as an ape. That happened perhaps 10,000 years ago. Before that we were just apes.

There is something highly artificial about human thinking and desire... which is not easily explained to me as hey we're the same as all the other animals on this planet.

Right, which is exactly how it should be. If you want to perform a purposeful man in the middle attack on your clients, then you SHOULD be required to install your root cert on their workstations. With unencrypted DNS, it just means that you can perform the same attack with NO specific approval by the client workstation. How is that better?
I suspect I have aphantasia or at least extremely limited voluntary visualization (I can with some effort make myself feel like I'm maybe experiencing something that could be related to a visual sensation, but I would hesitate to call it imagery).

I do still see dreams, but extremely rarely. They're very different from any sort of pseudo-visualization I might be experiencing consciously, much closer to the actual visual sensation I get with eyes open. It's also much harder to remember anything about them.

Just recently I had my first experience of a lucid dream, which was pretty exciting. Unfortunately, the only thing I remember about it is the realization of what it was and then flying around (somewhere, no idea where) for a while until I woke up.

I also remember that it was a visual sensation, though I don't remember the visuals themselves.
That's still an hour+ commute: 20 minute walk + 5 minute wait + 35 minute BART ride. Plus however long the walk/connection is on the SF side. If you're working at Embarcadero it could be a few minutes shorter; if you're where a bunch of the post-2010 tech companies are clustered at 7th street in SOMA, it's another 25 or so via bus or light rail connection.
Right. I see what you mean. Actually, I mostly only pay attention to the Shiller P/E - which is a bit high at the moment.
> including the information supplied by Boeing to the airlines to explain the function of the MCAS system

So, you're essentially parroting Boeing's narrative IMO. Yes, they want you to think that the system is 'stupid simple' and it's 'no big deal, just one little fix' because obviously that's good for their business.

Maybe, the system required for safe operation is not so simple, and Boeing is no longer competent enough to create a system. Perhaps the 'stupid simple' system was all they were able to muster.
Whoops my bad! I thought you meant they were purposely traveling in front of the car, knowing it's sensors would force it to stop. It'd be super moronic and dangerous, but if you recognized the car model it would at least be possible.
Okay, even if we accept the basic logic there uncritically, it's not infinitely good. For example, the 24th year of schooling is not a public good, because there's no plausible argument that the social benefits it provides are greater than the cost. What about the 20th? The 16th? At what point does it cease to be a public good?

(Hint, we have some attempts to answer this question, and it suggests that college is a private good with a value that is mostly in signaling rather than skill acquisition, and casts some doubt on whether high school really meets the criteria)
That's a bit snarky. As other commenters mentioned, it can leverage TEEs using the Android Keystore for secure storage. And the way WebAuthn works means users are protected in case of a database breach (it contains only public keys) and the protocol protects against phishing. Both are ways better than usernames and passwords.

MTA-STS is a Trust on First Use protocol (for those who has not read the RFC, check section "10. Security Considerations"). DANE with DNSSEC is not.

The benefits and drawbacks of TOFU is well known, and ssh is one where most administrators first get a feel for it. In this case however we don't even have any human validation, so it is blind trust on first use. Maybe future version of popular email servers will hardcode a initial certificate or policy for gmails and other major email provider, but that would be beyond the scope of MTA-STS.

The same people who push DANE and DNSSEC yesterday will continue to do it tomorrow. Adding caching and policy to starttls is good, and for major email provider the first use will be done once and a valid version will effectively remain in the cache forever since normal daily use will keep it up to date. This scenario might not be as applicable to say a lawyer firm who for security reasons run their own email server, where a larger potential number of cases the initial email is the first time one email server connect to the other.
I got enough cash from stock options at the last small business to afford to job search for a few months without too much worry, so there is that.
I subscribe to a paper that comes out each Friday, called weekendavisen. Until May last year it didn’t have news on the web, they do have an electronic paper now but I’ve never visited.

It’s high quality news in lengthy articles, in fact I’m not even in its demographic because it has a lot of culture stuff as well and I don’t really care about that.

I really like the fact that it’s relevant though. Because it only comes out on Fridays, only the stuff that actually mattered during the week makes it in there.

If something big happens I’ll turn to internet public service, but otherwise I mostly ignore news outside of my weekly paper. I highly recommend it if you want to stay informed but cut the bullshit and have a similar option.
The most obvious benefit would be adding similar functionality to other IDEs. But really, why assume that you can guess what the benefit would be? Open the code and let the community decide what it can do with it. It doesn't have to come together with an open development process, necessarily.

Some other generic benefits that would apply here are the ability to debug issues, and interop/compatibility. The first one is often dismissed on the grounds that most users are unable to do this; but we're talking about dev tooling here, where the target audience has the necessary skills. From my own experience working on open source dev tools, this is probably the biggest benefit - not PRs, but detailed bug reports that already mostly narrow down the problem. In cases where the original bug can be very environment-specific or otherwise hard to repro, this can make the difference between resolved and closed as no-repro.

Interop/compatibility is also an important angle, and very hard to predict in advance. But any extension that interacts with this one, or is used by it, could potentially benefit. This also ties into the ability to debug it somewhat - if extension A breaks extension B, it's much easier for the author of A to figure out why, exactly, and what's the best way to avoid it, if they have the source for B.

Then there's the ethical angle. VSCode itself is open source. So far as I know, all extensions that this one relies on to enable various customer scenarios - e.g. IDE support for various GCP-supported languages - are open source. For something that derives a substantial (arguably, the majority) of its value from those, closing the source runs counter to the spirit of the whole thing, regardless of the license terms. I can understand doing so for some specific business reasons - e.g. use of some proprietary components, or trade secrets in the code - but if it's only a question of not wanting to make the extra effort, it's kinda disrespectful towards people who did make that effort. Even that would be understandable if we were talking about a non-profit project that has limited resources and has to ration them. But this is Google, and the product itself is a part of the subscription-driven GCP ecosystem.

In general, the reason why open source is so widespread today is because for-profit corporations subsidize a lot of it. They have their own non-altruistic reasons, of course, but the entire arrangement is beneficial to all. So it's a commons, and we should all strive to maintain it and the cultural norms that make it sustainable.

(Full disclosure: I am a developer working on one of the relevant Microsoft VSCode extensions. Everything I write here is strictly my personal opinion. I do not speak in any official capacity.)
No, it doesn't come into my eyesight. It's more like I have to disregard my eyesight to mentally visualize.
This format looks somewhat underpowered. If one record is corrupted, there is no way to read anything after it. For the same reason there is no lookup/sharding support, such as finding the first record that starts in the second half of the file. If a writer crashes, a new instance of writer cannot append to an existing file without reading its whole content and truncating on the last readable record.
As a parent, I bought my son an iPhone because of privacy/malware concerns (perceived or otherwise) in the Android world--but we're already an all-Apple household. I wonder if it's Apple's privacy _marketing_ that won the day here? (Green bubbles notwithstanding.)
I was working at Google at the Eric Schmidt days, Larry Page days and Sundar days (not anymore) and maybe Larry not being on the TGIFs is not that a big thing, and I'm not questioning Sundar's authority, much more his transparency in leadership.

Eric Schmidt was by far the most transparent CEO while knowing exactly what secrets he had to keep. He understood how important it is to have some direct communication with all engineers, even if it's just one way (here's a link to a fresh interview with him from yesterday where he talks about the old Google days: https://tim.blog/2019/04/09/eric-schmidt/).

With Sundar TGIF questions seem just like a formality: he tries to answer in a way to only tell things that are anyways available to everybody, not helping the employees to understand the strategy of the company and going together.

And in reality before I quit, all I saw was team leaders, managers and project managers fighting eachother on who's doing what project, and the engineers being victims of these fights (though still well paid victims). For me the magic of being and working at Google went away.
> The problem in 2019, is that people are trying to do end-runs around Freedom of Speech not through argument, but through reputation smearing and de-platforming.

This is absolutely not a new phenomenon. "Red scare" anyone? Free speech has never protected an individual from social consequences only government/state consequences. We probably agree that it's not a good thing, but it's definitely not new nor has it ever not existed.
A real question is: Can Sundar unilaterally choose to withdraw business from China that is contingent on agreeing to things that are violations of human rights?

MTA-STS is nothing like SPF.

SPF is a method to publish a policy on which senders are allowed to use your domain so send email.

MTA-STS is a method to force MTA's to only use and accept TLS encrypted connections when handling email send from your domain.

The MTA-STS resolver you linked to is used to implement MTA-STS capability in Postfix MTA. It's intended for MTA administrators. You don't use the resolver to setup MTA-STS for your own send email, for that you must setup a DNS record and a HTTPS enabled webserver.
Even if true, that doesn't really contradict what I said in any way. Net contributors still use some resources more than others, and they are still the recipient of benefits. It's quite common for people who oppose public services on principle to dramatically underestimate the public services they're receiving themselves.

Also, net contribution has nothing to do with whether you can afford to pay to build private roads, or pay for doctors without insurance, or pay for private education. Almost nobody could afford to pay for their own roads, freeways cost billions; that's precisely why we share the cost, even if not every single person uses them. It should be somewhat evident that transportation and distribution businesses and the executives that run them benefit financially more from public roads than individuals do.

By using the term "net contributor" you're comparing tax payers against each other and painting a picture of what's more or less fair from person to person. What I'm suggesting is you should compare the services that come with taxes to what you get with no shared services at all, which is the logical conclusion of the GP comment. I care less about the fear of paying 2% more taxes than someone else when I think about the fact that the services I get would cost me many orders of magnitude more money than I have if I had to pay for them individually and privately.

For the sake of conversation, I wouldn't mind hearing why you think HN demographics makes people net contributors. I'm quite skeptical that services for the poor cost more than the sum total of tax breaks and infrastructure the rich enjoy, if that's the direction you were headed...

And, of course, the entire concept of contributor/recipient is irrelevant if we fund education without raising taxes, and moreso if a national education system were to bring in more money than it costs, which may be the case in Norway & Finland among other places. Fretting over what's fair and worrying excessively about freeloaders might be costing us a lot more than it saves.
> we don't want the result of cutting out an automated system to be further automatic manipulation of the control surfaces, right?

You have two separate things a pilot may need to do. One is disabling the MCAS control action. In that case you do want it to return to normal trim. Second is disabling the Automatic/Electrical Trim. In that case you want it to stop and allow the pilot to set the trim manually.
I don't see how it's less secure than storing passwords in ~/Documents/Passwords.txt. And it's a second factor, so combined with first factor the result is pretty secure. You can't browse other people phones, even without security enclave.
