Any whole device reflash could also easily be done at an Apple store, even in a self-serve manner.

> people downloading all sorts of scam apps, having personal data uploaded, ransomware, you name it

Obviously if you just get rid of Apple's current solution and don't replace it with anything, then those things will happen like the jungle that was Windows. But that does not make for an argument in support of Apple's current solution.

The answer is to address those problems for arbitrary code (eg isolation and fine grained capabilities), rather than simplistically asserting that any code on the device must be "good" and then enforcing a singular top-down regime to assure that.

> I don't want another App Store even if it were available.

See if you still hold this opinion in ten years when large companies have been pushed to ban secure communication tools in the interest of "public safety". The writing is already on the wall.

(My current support load mainly consists of needing to help my dad because app UI elements are designed to be invisible. This is a problem caused by centralized control - banks create their own decommodified apps and want to look hip in the "design" world or whatever, as opposed to publishing a standardized API that would allow creation of independent apps for old people. And the same vacuous "security" FUD gets dragged out to justify that state of affairs as well)
That sounds like a non-issue that can be solved with separate corperate entities. Bubba's phone repair and Jimbo's phone repair can both operate out of the same location owned by a third party and enter into a contract that lets them suitibly share resources. Small businesses do this kind of thing all the time. You can imagine if you have a company that does landscaping and takes down trees would want the landscaping under a different LLC to reduce costs (insurance, regulatory compliance, etc) and limit liability from the tree cutting side of the business.
Agreed. And I feel like the whole PhD atmosphere of striving to do good research and discover new things is what makes the PhD graduate valuable. If it was like job training, that environment just wouldn't be there.

Thank you for the kind words!
Lunch Money is definitely a different way of budgeting. I mentioned this in an earlier comment, but my target audience is more first-time budgeters. I know it would be an uphill battle to convert YNAB'ers since they are very loyal to envelope-based method. That being said, since you're a die-hard YNAB'er, if you have any ideas around this, I'm all ears!
Look into cpanm, local::lib, the Cpanfile, perlbrew, and carton. There are multiple angles of attacking this issue that are better than the old CPAN shell.
They do that for portability reasons. It's convenient to have the product in a smaller package (less vapor too). Ecig devices like these are nothing new. They were around for years before juul.
I'd say that Neuromancer, though it is not commonly regarded as a political novel, is more useful as a metaphor, given it predicts the explosion of players and political complexity created by the inability of any one group to exercise control over technology, which is a theme pretty much absent from 1984.

As to whether the political novel is dead, it is always kicking about in science fiction, where fashions have their own undercurrents that are much less subject to the whims of what can be regarded as literature. Science fiction, probably to its benefit, being rarely regarded as literature in the first place.
Pyra is near completion? I thought it was abandonned (I have been waiting for almost 10 years already). It looks like an almost-perfect handheld device, what it should actually be (according to my vision). The only thing missing is an RJ-45 NIC port (which would make it really useful for admins) but a USB-attached one will probably do just fine.
What's that noise? It feels like conceptual potential being poured down a drain. It kindof goes "blub, blub, blub..."
Yup. Capitalism motivates people to do things that hurts and takes advantage of others.

I can be mad at the system that motives you, and also think you're a dick for valuing money over doing something that is a net benefit to the world.

I can also seek to control your ability to do damage using laws and public discourse.
Personally, it is in the name: full-time job.

It takes your full job time, it says that there is a measurable amount of job you can have and that it is full with that one. Following that logic, if you fill all of your available job time, there is an assumption (mine and others) that it would provide simply because if you can't, you need more job to do so, making it not a full-time job.

> points out some obvious and undeniable flaws in the current theory or protein 'evolution.'

He doesn't. He showcases his lack of knowledge of biochemistry.

> that is difficult to get serious researchers to grapple with this issue

It is difficult because serious researchers have found out that explaining these issues doesn't lead to understanding for those who refuse to understand these issues.

If I would illustrate that "Nonsense sequences are essentially random" is not true or that "Your task is to invent a new gene by mutation" is a thought experiment completely unrelated to the discussion, would you change your mind, or would you ignore it and focus on some other "obvious and undeniable flaw"?

At this point, why would any serious biologist bother explaining something to people who feel their very existence depends on that something not being true?
>In the past (pre-Uber), if you made this amount of money by engaging in large-scale, coordinated law breaking, you were called a gangster and got a big old nice RICO charge.

I'm thinking this isn't actually true. In some cases you definitely were. In others, you become the dominant player and enjoyed becoming wealthy.

What exactly divided the former from the latter? I wish I understood that better.
> Jira isn't user friendly but neither is C++

I can accept this. But I've chosen to be a programmer - project management tools are a necessary evil, not something I enjoy. Expecting me to put in the effort to master it they way I do my primary tools is doomed to frustration.

I dont' expect end users to program...and I'm the end user of Jira.

Can you link to a supplement that claims to be FDA approved as opposed to claiming that some included component has been approved for something unrelated, which is not the same thing?

That's not a loophole. That's just preying on ignorance and inattentiveness.

Err.. even on my PC with a TPM chip that has biometric data, I can replace the RAM, GPU, CPU or any other component without a problem. People need to think critically with a technical mind, instead of simply accepting Apples fairytales.

But all that aside, people are free to repurchase a new phone or get the entire motherboard replaced when a $0.50 component fails on their phone. I and many others prefer to repair it and save money. And not to mention .. reduce the e-waste burden on our planet as a bonus.
I think they are saying the the people setting up Jira for your use failed to master the tool, not that the end users like yourself need to do that.

Frankly, I don't care about any economic argument that says people shouldn't have the ability to put food on their table, a roof over their head, and have decent healthcare. Any company that cannot be profitable and pay their employees enough to cover basic needs shouldn't exist as a company.
When I have been an employer, my position is always that I pay you for about 40 hours a week. I don’t own you, nor do I want to. I know that if you had already solved the money problem you could do far better things than come work with me. If you want to work on side projects in your spare time, great. If you’re dedicated enough to your craft that you want to improve outside of work, that’s amazing! But also, if you’d rather jog, rock climb, smoke weed or what have you, it is your life. I’m glad I can help you live it. Thanks for helping me live mine.

As an employee, I’ve had everything from ‘we could care less’, to ‘don’t program when you’re not at work’, to ‘we own every single thing you do, dream or think about.’

Here are my high level thoughts after a quick look at the question and some clarification in thread below.

- a single question is difficult to evaluate. "Answering a business question" is at the very end, usually, of a bunch of exploratory steps

- 60 min is reasonable but not much time to evaluate real work. You either need to expand the time (also a problem, for interviewing) or allow scoring of "what I'd do next"

- tooling familiarity is going to be a huge factor with short time. Are you testing general knowledge or environment knowledge?

- too focused on models, too "kaggle-like". That covers about 20% of the skills and job.

Here are the sorts of things I look for. Do they understand:

1. How to verify & validate data, clean inputs, handle coding errors and ELT type issues

2. How to evaluate data set issues like bias, missing data and outliers, and account for that (and when you can't)

3. (situational) How their infrastructure works an what they need it to do (e.g. for distributed training, if appropriate). How to use it effectively.

4. How to control data and code throughout lifecycle, so you don't waste time and experiments

5. How to choose between approaches and models

6. How to evaluate performance rigorously

7. How to monitor performance over time

but here is the kicker

8. How do you know you are trying to solve the right problem?

For junior people, the emphasis will be on the earlier points. For senior people the last point is key.

Your question partially addresses some of the early points only.

Off the top of my head suggestions.

- Have separate stages. Cleanup & verification can have objective and subjective issues (missing & corrupt data? Outliers?)

- Don't focus too much on modeling, it's the least interesting part.

- Allow different toolsets possibly (e.g. R)

- Initial cleanup/eval stage on a CSV, but following stage pull from SQL?

- Possibly allow multiple inference choices from same or a few data sets. Give a short list of things the "business" is interested in, they pick and describe why

- good idea to focus a bit on producing one/two graphics/tables to communicate to a lay audience.

- more focus on verification

- add a validation discussion requirement. How are you going to know what you did is worth doing?

- add a "next things I would try/do"

The latter is going to be text heavy but no way to avoid this unless there is a follow on voice/personal interview.

There isn't any way you are going to auto score this stuff reliably, so that's probably ok. Consequence is your evaluators are going to actually have to be good at this.
The 'left' doesn't really exist as a political entity in the US. There's a centrist party (even the furthest left of center in the 'left' is merely advocating what would be considered pure centrism in more advanced countries) and a right-wing party.

Ask HN: How do you serve dynamic content across multiple geographies?
I have an app that serves customers across the world but I am starting to see that performance in certain regions is becoming unacceptable. This is largely due to latency by reason of distance from the server. A CDN will not work because the content is dynamic. I am thinking of some employing some sort of regional load balancer to route traffic to different instances of the app on local servers but (a) it's starting to feel really complex (b) I haven't seen any load balancers that route based on traffic geographic origin (c) I'm not sure how to keep all the local instances in sync

I am curious to learn how other people are setting up infrastructure to serve dynamic content across multiple geographies
Study: San Francisco Skips Traffic
I know there are several people in this discussion advocating for regulation... but surely there are legal remedies for this? Why not just find a way to make them liable for this?
Most flexible permission systems have this issue. See every database system and your filesystem.
Sometimes it's about taking what you can get, even if the solution is only partial. As a blind woodworker, I can't route a pattern laid out on flimsy material, but make a wooden template and I'm fine. So for more complex projects, we'll have someone make us a template we can trace, but we're still doing most of the work.

Granted, I'd love a solution that doesn't require sighted help. For this case, some sort of color identifier app might help. Given that Lego's color palet probably doesn't span too widely, this would probably be an easy weekend project.
>This is really problematic for me. If you restrict the scope rightly to only democracies that are truly representative (which many regulatory capture environments are not) I might be able to agree.

Even then I cannot. The majority can be wrong at times and a bad law, even one with majority support, is a bad law. In such cases the only value to following such a law is to reduce risk of enforcement (and there is plenty enough evidence that following the law is no defense against being harmed by those who enforce the law).
I think you discount the social signaling that goes on at these daily meetings, which I swear is the point of most of them.

If you're not paying attention, bosses will think less of you. So not only do you have to pretend to pay attention they love when you ask lots of gotcha questions to the person trying to give status. Anything to look smart.
Of course they have. So have the right. (And it's not a new thing. The left didn't like Reagan or, worse, Bush. The right disliked Clinton even more. The left was somewhat deranged about Bush Jr., the right was flat-out nuts about Obama, and the left is now absolutely out of their minds about Trump.)

If the left wants to win the next election, they need to run someone who is not too far left. They need to either stop holding working-class people in contempt, or start doing a better job of disguising it. If that counts as "listening to Ann Coulter", so be it.

There are many tools for installing modules. Almost all of them default to the latest available package but can be told a version.

I suggest looking into local::lib and then either a combination of cpanm and a Cpanfile or using perlbrew.
Knowing nothing about your business, I would humbly suggest not fighting on price but on other areas like speed, quality, customer service etc. The nearest apple store to me is 20 miles away. I would rather pay more money to have it fixed in a durable way closer to home. Just my 2 cents. Take them with a big grain of salt.
In the same sense the climate change effects are also priced in as most people in the west use air travel or add enough carbon via other means to have to be personally responsible for any ill effects.

If Uber unilaterally increased minimum salary, then those competitors would have to do the same, otherwise they would lose all their drivers to Uber. So, if Uber really cared about drivers they would just do it. Instead they are making PR stunt by "demanding" government regulation.

Ignoring the windows store, this is really more of a "let developers handle their own updates" situation. The vast majority of modern windows software updates itself directly or through a loader (steam, etc). Windows developers can easily tie into distribution services that offer update mechanisms. The default user experience is not 'no automatic updates.'
> I'm a bit confused, do Romanians not typically have their hair cut by a professional or is there another term than "barber" / "barbershop."

He’s talking about hipster barbershops for men with the same decor as you would find in trendy neighborhoods of American cities. The hairdresser is likely to be a man and the price high. These barbershops are a new arrival in Romania (and most European countries). Of course in Romania we have always had our hair cut by a professional, but historically we have relied on unglamorous, hole-in-the-wall establishments where the hairdresser is a woman and the cost (at least for men) is minuscule.
Ask HN: Is the full stack developer more myth than reality?
One of the original selling points of NodeJS was that one developer could apply the same language in front and back, making the Javascript skillset more valuable to an organization as resource demands shift among projects. Yet, considering the demands of both frontend and backend development, it seems unlikely that one person would change that often, if at all, because of comparative advantages due to domain expertise.

What can people from HN report on this experience in the wild-- is the full-stack developer more myth than reality?
