Hi, more restrictive licences like GPL tend to slow projects development and the code remain fully open-source, hence, any corporate can fork. Developers would need substancial resources to protect and enforce against the likes of the GAFA. We do not prone a full closed-source model, of course not, but rather the possibility to have a mix of public and open innovation within the same project.

In one place I worked, this is what they did : hire a lady (always women) as the receptionist, 6 months to a year later, she'll be working (assuming she is interested in it) at a junior position in the marketing department, or become an executive assistant to one of the big bosses (there were a handful of big bosses who needed assistants).

I worked there almost 2 years, and saw 3 women move on from reception to various departments (they also became employees, they were contractors when they were receptionists). Funny thing is, there was no chance for developers to further their career there, though they were paid well (we were just 5 devs with a CTO, so no promotions etc).

Other than this one example, I rarely saw people getting promoted. When people needed a better work/title/pay, they simply found another job.

You can clearly see that TG include stuff about Nord that aint related to the lawsuit, nor to the court itself, and thats clearly why - to make Nord look bad guys in this scenario, while all the claims sounds like bs. Torguard hasn’t even filled in the correct company name when they filed the suit first, which speaks for itself on how professional they are. Anyhow, how is that Nord the bad guy now and everyone forgets the fact that they just wanted to let torguard know about their own vulnerability to fix?

>> A representative of the company, which launched an initiative in 2014 to become the first pharmacy to quit selling cigarettes, indicated via email that they see food as the next frontier.

Wow. What leadership. It only took a couple generations for a place that sells medicine to stop selling cigarettes. It should be only a quick thirty or forty years before they stop selling the deep fried salt cakes. Are they still selling homeopathic "remedies"?

There are lots of pharmacies in this world. I seriously doubt CVS was the first to do anything. Somewhere out there, probably in Utah, there had to be a pharmacy that didn't sell cigarettes prior to 2014.
> An individual can absolutely value their output at any value they so choose and be correct.

I don't think a value can be "correct" or "wrong" in an absolute sense, it's a subjective property. You can value it at whatever you like but you may not find a buyer. If people are happy paying for Tidal, then it's fair to them.

> lest we allow people to suffer because they do not have enough money to pay for the "fair" amount for healthcare.

These are very different, given that one is far more essential than the other, which can also be duplicated for near-zero marginal cost.

The Dunning-Kruger effect would apply just as much to a specialist as it would a generalist. No matter how specialized one gets, there’s always the possible cognitive bias that they think they know more than they do. There’s also the risk of tunnel vision and compartmentalization, where the specialist, unaware of of relevant information existing in some other silo continues to try to fit round pegs into square holes.
So what? The credibility of a news article is a function of its provenance, not its style. Creator reputation matters a lot more than internal textual signals, and the most sophicated ML system can only reproduce the latter.

Two thoughts - on cause and on dealing with it. For the affinity of assholes in technical fields, I see two things push people towards it. One is the work (engineering) pushes you to look for edge cases, flaws, etc, and fix them. The second, highly related imho, is that technical people frequently work for non-technical people who tell them what to do. Often in a way that leaves out lots of important details. I think that creates this inner frustration where people who may be good at leading projects architecturally instead constantly clean up bad plans. I don't think this is everyone or the cause of everything, just a supporting thread i see in a lot of people.

As for dealing with it (and negativity elsewhere) I've been trying to train myself to focus on the positive. Not in some head in the sand type way, but more in realizing where negativity and positivity goes. Negativity, dwelling on mistakes and flaws, etc -- they don't get you anywhere. They get you nothing. They make you feel worse. Moreover, _searching_ for the positive does more than just let you find opportunity. It affects how you see the world. And it gives you more chances to improve it. Because instead of dwelling, you use that energy to look for ways to change things. Or make things. Or network. Or find luck. Its not as simple as deciding one day to be happy. But becoming aware of the tendencies and making a concerted effort to search out the positives, it changes you over time.

What do you regard as the grocery section?

I go to the grocery store weekly and all I buy, pretty much, are bread, dairy, and produce.

Engineers are building things that rely on other things that rely on other things. There's a point where people don't know what their dependencies are.

That's what a distributed system is: a system in which you can't get your work done because a system you've never heard of has failed. (I had that attributed to Butler Lampson, but searching turns up Leslie Lamport instead)
You're right, but I wanted to point out their poor wording. They shouldn't downplay the huge impact on GCP customers in one paragraph, and then gloat about YouTube being fine in the next.

It's undermines their GCP business in a big way too - It makes you think that if they had to choose, they would throw their GCP customers under the bus to preserve their own other services. The value proposition of GCP is greatly diminished then in comparison to a dedicated cloud provider like DigitalOcean, who has no other competing interests. This changed the way I view some of these cloud providers.

eg. If Google had to prioritize ad network traffic over GCP, there's no question the ad network would get priority. But why not just go with a different provider who doesn't have to make that compromise?
Practically any point-of-sale that supports NFC also supports Apple Pay. Adoption rates may vary by region but NFC penetration is very good where I live.

I have switched almost exclusively to Apple Pay, and frequent only one chain of gas station because they rolled out NFC at all of their pumps last year. After the introduction of chip readers gas pump mag stripe readers became the main vector for card skimming in my area and even with the security stickers all of the gas stations have been putting on their pumps I don't trust any mag reader anymore.

At locations that don't have an Apple Pay logo on their card readers, like my local movie theater, I have spied the NFC logo and given it a try and it works.

Except for Amazon, almost all of my online shopping is now done through Apple Pay. I have a shirt out for delivery today from a small retailer I had never heard of before that I purchased with one click and a fingerprint via Apple Pay.

It has not only changed how I buy things, but how I dress. Instead of my George Costanza wallet I only carry an ID and two cards in a slim front pocket wallet, relying on Apple Pay for almost everything and walking out of a store if they are cash-only or don't support chip/NFC.

Regardless of your chosen NFC platform, I recommend that everyone use it and shun points of sale that don't have it.

Actually you do have the right to complain.

It is the expectation of action missing.
These are the same people who complain that they would be bored if out of work for too long. I personally have so many personal or passion projects that I would like to undertake, but don’t have the time for, that I’d happily fill a few lifetimes with interesting things to do.

Of course, there’s a difference between a few lifetimes and thousands of years or immortality.
Lamarckism would be one example.

> while forbidding developers from even advertising ways of purchasing that bypass Apple — is just plain anticompetitive.

Let’s say you are at a grocery store, offering free samples of a food, the store allows you to set up in the store however, you don’t want to let the store sell your product because of the distribution fees. While giving out the samples in their store, you tell customers to buy your product from your website directly.

Is this actually a thought process that makes sense to anyone? You want to be visible to customers in Apple’s store but you want to send those customers outside of that store to buy your product? It would seem that was freeloading. Nothing prevents you from selling outside the App Store. Look at Salesforce, they have plenty of apps on the store and they pay Apple exactly nothing when someone becomes a customer of Salesforce. Last time I checked, Basecamp isn’t doing in-app purchases either.

This is not hard if you use a service like Fastmail. yourname+tag@domain.com can alternatively be expressed as tag@yourname.domain.com.

I also understand it's also pretty easy to setup wildcard forwarding with other providers, if you control the domain, so tag@domain.com will deliver to yourname@domain.com.
It is amazing to find woodworking is such well received topic on HN. I don’t remember how I stumbled on a woodworking video on YouTube about a year ago, and last week I just finished building the Christopher Schwarz knockdown workbench. This hobby is truly addictive, to me, it resembles a lot aspects of software engineering, but in a more vivid and interactive fashion.
On a weekly basis someone tells me one of the following things: I'm not eating enough (I'm a healthy weight) , I'm eating too much junk food and not getting enough "nutrients" (they never seem to know which nutrients exactly, but they're sure I'm missing some), I spend too much time sitting down and that's why my back hurts, or I'm standing up too much and thats why my leg hurts. Of course they're well meaning, but I think it's funny to say that tech people are too health obsessed. Sleep obsessed, maybe.
Ballshaite company is apple
I’ve never heard your extended version before. I wonder how common it is versus what you’re criticizing...
I feel strongly about this topic because I'm at the point in my career where I've done several different positions instead of getting better at one and I'm wondering if I made a mistake.

I started off in the software field as a developer. I've been in the software field for almost 10 years but I've only actually spent two years as a full time developer. I've also done project management, product management, marketing, customer support, and management. I find myself struggling to fill one of those individual roles because I don't have the same level of experience as those who have dedicated themselves to those for the full ten years.

I'm currently a VP of Engineering for a small company. I know most would probably say that I've made it, but I'm looking for my next opportunity and struggling. It's hard to get a job at a larger (200+ employee) company as each role filled is expected to be specialized and focused. At a smaller company or startup, though, I kick the crap out of anyone else applying because I know so much more about the business in general and can wear many different hats.

In addition, I feel a strong benefit is that my experience enhances my ability in each other role. For instance, if I'm working on a marketing email campaign, I can use my developer skills to pull relevant data from the application that helps me focus my targeting. If I'm developing, I will specifically build small helpful tools for customer support and marketing departments because I already know what they want and they don't know they can have it. It takes a small amount of time but provides a big value.

I would probably also have a leg up on starting my own business compared to someone who has a deep specialized knowledge of enterprise level applications but no idea how to put together a customer support and good user experience.

Still, we are always looking at the greener grass, and there are times when I wish I could just apply for a senior developer role at a larger company and focus on one thing. Somehow, I don't think that my lack of React experience will be made up for by letting them know that I will be able to directly interact with the customers or set up marketing campaigns. They already have 5+ people doing those things.
Arguably, the whole idea of a modular machine is that the base price can be lower, and then you can spend the money on the things that are valuable to you.

When overlords and their followers believe themselves and to be benevolent moral authorities (as most do), any criticism is seen as malicious misinformation. It also helps that the overlords are in a position to control the flow of information, and thus define what is fact and what is fiction, according to their version of reality.
What is interesting to me is how shareholders seem to kill corporations when they are allowed to vote the direction of the company.

P. gingivalis has been shown that it can migrate from the mouth to the brain. It is also found in the brains of Alzheimer's sufferers. But we don't know yet if it is THE cause of Alzheimer's. Which is to say "more research is needed to prove a cause and effect link."

This is still fresh science, the ink is still wet. It might ultimately prove that the cause of Alzheimer's is P. gingivalis (which is Nobel Prize levels of incredible). However, this single 2018 study is far from the body of evidence needed to make a claim on causal link.

That being said: Please brush and floss. There's no downside. Even if it is unlinked to Alzheimer's you've gained something and lost nothing. You'll thank yourself in the long run either way.

PS - I'm not even calling the science here bad (it is not). I am simply saying, this is the start of a marathon and the article is treating it like the end. Ten years ago similar articles on prion-based infections causing Alzheimer's was the hotness, until it wasn't.

I wish there was some way to compare / visualize where I should be putting my effort on this stuff.

Surely I should do better taking care of my gums (flossing...:|), but I also need to improve my diet and exercise, among other things.

I'd hate to find out that the things in my life that I do manage to fix turn out to be more difficult and less effectual than other options...
This is going to sound like a shill but I have to recommend the new Gum Detoxify toothpaste from Crest and thought I'd share it with other Hacker News readers. It has stannous fluoride and that is supposed to work better and actually kill bacteria around your gums. The reviews for it seemed crazy positive so I thought I would try it and it has been a product that actually does what it says.

I have to say, I wake up without morning breath pretty much now, which is insane. And I have been feeling better...

Here is a paper comparing stannous fluoride with the traditional type.

They don't have full time. Many of the worst jobs in our society are given on part time/hours basis only.

And most landlords now a days do background checks. If you have been in prison, had a foreclosure, bankruptcy, etc many places won't rent to you at all. So you have to go to predatory places which charge way more than your regular housing.

However, this is all very basic information on this topic.

Since you seem to not know these very basic facts, may I suggest not holding an opinion or judgement until you may do a little reading on the topic.

It's my experience in my life that when I gave an opinion on something I was ignorant on, I generally felt ashamed afterwards. It's been a big motivator in me trying to know a little before giving an opinion. I think it's made me a better person.
"It is a free ride - taxpayers subsidize them buying a personal car"

But they're being subsidised to buy a more expensive car. The aim is to bring it in line with other more expensive cars.

It isn't $10000 off the default option, it's $10000 off the better for society option to bring it more in line with the default option. If it works as intended the buyer doesn't save money.

I suppose you could structure it to favour those with lower incomes, it would be more costly, more complicated, and I'm not sure how you could get to a sustainable model as quickly. Poorer people would presumably want cheaper cars, but currently EVs are expensive, so you would need to subsidise them that much longer, and potentially right about now you'd have cross subsidy anyway, with rich buyers buying expensive cars with R&D paid for with government subsidy money.

We can talk about alternatives to car, that isn't where politics is at, and I'm not sure tax credits would be a particularly good tool for encouraging alternatives. As I said don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
