I hope you are not the IT decision maker. It seems all of your knowledge of Windows is based from experience with their Home edition.

Unlike Home/Pro Edition, telemetry in Windows 10 Enterprise can be disabled with a single group policy option.[1] With GPO = Secure not more data is sent to MS than your Windows 7. You also have full control updates through the group policy(Also found in Pro).

Windows 10 Enterprise is the true successor or Windows 7/8 Pro. If telemetry is really such a big deal to you, I'm surprised you didn't spend 2 min. on Google to learn this. I've seen in deployed in several small businesses that care are concerned with privacy/telemetry implications.

Gonna call you in the middle of the night. Honestly never seen anyone post a phone number on a message board like this.
I liked 3:2 because it is close to the IMAX ratio.
Used meteor to try and build a production ready project management app in a company I was employed at years ago. We never got it off the ground and this is one of those rare times that technology was the direct reason we couldn't make the product work.

Meteor was great for quick and dirty apps but beyond that meteor never made it past the feeling that it was a prototype itself.

Everything about data management was painful the moment you started to deal with production related use cases. Unrelated changes to nested fields would propagate changes up the chain which would in turn trigger data refreshes of entire collections. And the documentation never helped here. The documentation was only about the minimum needed to perform a task, but for all their talk of opinionated frameworks, the community had to come up with their own opinions on how to actually use the framework efficiently.

Overall it was a dumpster fire but it had a positive effect on me since I was early in my career. I learnt how to better evaluate technology to actually understand whether the tools were truly production stable ready and more importantly if the documentation and community were also "production ready". So I guess I'm kind of grateful that meteor happened to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm not sure about "constantly." The last big disappointment I can remember was the China/iCloud thing.

The problem is that Tim Cook is a bean counter, not a technologist. He talks a good game in scripted keynotes, but he's really in it for the money, like most other CEOs.

That said, Apple is the least of all available evils. When something better comes along, I'll leave. If that thing already exists, please let me know so I can begin the process.
It sounds like a typical Microsoft strategy, they want to dominate markets and nowadays it’s by offering free services and products and sometimes buying up the competition.
Doing your own research, visiting libraries, reading reviews, etc. These are the best way to find books that you never would have found otherwise.

Otherwise you're going to end up with the same old stuff (SICP, Release It!, GEB, Code Complete, blah blah blah). Those books are actually good but they are on every single list and even worse, some "modern classics" are actually complete dreck. You might impress your developer friends but you won't advance yourself.

For example when I was studying for my PhD in signal processing and machine learning (before machine learning became popular again) I had to learn a lot about functional analysis. I also needed to learn a small amount of measure theory; and to go appreciably deeper in to time-frequency analysis, probability, and statistics, than I had before.

I discovered many masterpieces of my own accord. I never would have seen them because one lesson I learned during my literature review and actually doing research is that very few people actually read the books and articles they cite. They merely copy bibliographies from one ancestor article to another without knowing why.
Sure you can. I think you're going to find that most people will go "oh those poor people in HK", then promptly go back to ignoring them in their purchase decisions. I have exceedingly little faith in consumers to inconvenience themselves to benefit others.
So much more than that even, so many are teachers must feel compelled to do what they must for the sake of their students. I know it's incidental, but the extra effort I see my own kids' teachers putting in without financial incentive is incredible. Education is a business where a lot of "employees" probably aren't doing the calculations around their pay-per-hour but rather are focused on the accomplishing the things necessary for their students success.

Maybe that's a long winded way of saying that I suspect a lot of teachers are bleeding hearts and do not closely manager their time or monetary budgets closely.
And that’s how the common person ends up with devices riddled with viruses, malware, and spyware. I don’t disagree with you, but the walled garden approach is certainly a safer option for the vast majority of end users.
It's actually a historical term - it came about from loading apps on the Nokia Ngage ("side-talking")
Even Facebook does on-call. So money can’t solve it. If you wrote the code and it breaks you’re kinda the only one that can fix it (in a hurry)
Yes, good point. There should be room for any field to advocate for improving their collective well-being.

I still hope this type of thread doesn't catch on. The comments here skew negative and entitled, in my opinion.
*HIPOO
IANAL, but according to this: https://www.sipc.org/for-investors/what-sipc-protects

> SIPC protects against the loss of cash and securities – such as stocks and bonds – held by a customer at a financially-troubled SIPC-member brokerage firm.

It sounds like SIPC protects against loss of cash for the purpose of purchasing securities _and_ the loss of the securities themselves. So in this case it sounds like by sweeping customers' cash into a money market fund, SIPC protection would apply to the money market fund investment.

I think Robinhood's issue might have been that they didn't actually do any securities trading and tried to just rely on SIPC insurance for customers' cash that's just sitting around.

Regardless of if my interpretation is correct, I'd be _really_ surprised if they just somehow ignored the whole Robinhood fiasco and managed to make the exact same mistake on the regulatory side.
Sad thing is that the money from unemployment hasn't gone up for years. $1800/mo pre-tax. I was pretty pissed when first on it that the feds tax the unemployed, seems like kicking someone when they're down, but at least in CA there's no state tax, which I learned occurs in other states.
I love the use of the word "brutally" here.
Fair point. It's just sad that reality doesn't live up to the marketing.

A smaller company would have less to lose when China threatens to block access to their market.
I've frequently been paid $1k/hour regularly for insights on expert networks on how to grow companies, manufacturing know-how that's inherently rare based on my specialty, and more.

I've had companies reach out from all over the world, but I'll tell you, when I first moved to San Francisco, I lived in my car for ~2 months, then in a bunk bed in a run down hacker house, and was more than ecstatic to make 30 USD/hour. This post would be incomplete without mentioning that sometimes it takes many failures in a niche to develop great depth in it.

One area of expertise that regularly has been paying me for 1-2 hours every month for the past few months is new manufacturing plant startups or relocations. I'm one of a handful of engineers with know how and experience in material flows and operations research.

I had one company buy 10 hours of my time and flew me out of the country to help them navigate a facility location based on an ever modulating set of market variables.

When I studied polymer-textile-fiber engineering and operations research though, it was never exotic, I didn't want to work in the middle of nowhere, but was utterly fascinated with the subject matter.

I'm thankful for expert networks, my one qualm is that some networks like GLG etc ask for resumes, but I think that's the wrong approach. I really love sites like clarity.fm where you can just o-auth quickly and tell your story.

Generally, "game knows game" is something I believe in, I also believe marketing and brand don't always correlate with substance. I love finding people with performant dark horse talent who should be paid 1k/hour on expert networks but never pass the "branded" corporate filter of the sites themselves.
I'd like to see Yoda cite his sources on that "fear leads to anger" thing. This whole construction that it's impossible to react negatively to something without being motivated by fear is, IMO, unsubstantiated at best. It's entirely possible to dislike something or be irritated by it without fearing it.

No. Linux Desktop suffer much fewer virus attacks and they are certainly NOT walled garden.
For the record, I've definitely seen backlash against the 'male brain' hypothesis for autism, which is that this study is ultimately about. The guy who first proposed it was Simon Baron-Cohen who is a well known autism researcher and there were people, especially female autists who felt that they were being overlooked or compared to men, who complained about it. Some even accused of Baron-Cohen of bigotry of various sorts. I think the 'male brain' hypothesis has largely remained in the autism research sphere and so hasn't had as much visibility, which might explain why there isn't a huge 'cancel-culture' backlash. There needs to be a certain threshold of visibility before that kind of backlash can happen.

No. I’m just saying that they used the money that we lost to gain strength and power, and they used those weapons to kill us and many others. Gaining power and resources provided them with the ability to leverage that and grow even more, and to fund new criminal enterprises. Focusing on the relatively small dollar amount we lost to them initially doesn’t really capture the total loss.
Because they have a steep learning curve, were not designed with guis in mind and require extensive customization.
I did not mean to compare different level of hardships people can face. What I mean is that when someone feels pain and suffering they should look for a change whenever it is possible, regardless of the outside perception of their position. Do you agree?

This article focuses on government gags on free speech, which is a real problem globally, but here in the United States I see free speech coming under attack from the progressive left constituency, rather than the government. To me it appears that the far left has abandoned the classical definitions of the word 'liberal' for populism and extremism. This seems to have been amplified in the last few years, since Trump's election, and you see it in things like the social justice warrior meme mocking 'free speech' with the purposely misspelling 'freeze peach'.

Leaving aside culture wars waged by individuals, I see institutional tightening on free speech all over America. I see it in big tech companies, where only a progressive monoculture exists with no psychological safety for other viewpoints. I see it in censorship applied by defacto digital public squares like YouTube. I see it in the left's rampant use of deplatforming to silence opposing views. Increasingly, I also see it in universities (see this incident at the University of Washington today https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2019/10/the-university-of-was...).

I don't think it matters greatly whether it is the government or others. Free speech is a fundamental good that must be protected. I hope a greater focus is brought on these other means via which it has come under attack.

Removing the app from the app store doesn't actually stop the app from running on the device?
I’m currently prepping for these kind of questions and “online assessments” as well. I have accepted that my worth as a developer is in most part going to be dictated by how diligently I can game this glorified IQ test.

There are common patterns to these questions and I’ve found that they get more predictable after having done 50-100 of them, with very careful attentiveness to what your mind is coming up with to solve them. All these questions can only vary so much in how they are asked, and unfortunately we just have to do use repetition by numbers to enforce better pattern recognition.
Yeah...as someone who works on HIPAA compliant software, this sounds very scary to me. We carry a $1M insurance policy at all times. Did you sign a business associate agreement?

Which one? Honest question.
Tesla's current charging network is more like the early days of AOL or Prodigy. They both eventually converted to being internet providers.
Which one is objectionable?
You realize one of the most popular to level comments is about someone who is 18 amd working on modernizing an old DOS HIPAA app alone and not allowed to use version control and is being advised by people to quit ASAP because HIPAA laws mean they might be personally liable for some violations and face prison time?

Suddenly, your line cook job doesn't sound so bad. Maybe we should just accept that every job might have circumstances that make it a bad place to be, and judge on the details rather than the title.
The thing that drives me batty with both of these Electron editors is that it is apparently not possible to pop out a child window for one file without launching another whole instance.

Elizabeth's plan isn't to make smaller companies. It's to make public markets. https://elizabethwarren.com/plans/break-up-big-tech
Contrasting point - I dislike the thought that folks who've "got it good" should just stay quiet and never complain because they are much better off than others. To me, this is immoral and ineffective.

Everyone in a shitty position has a right to speak up. You're absolutely right that some people cannot exercise that right - they can't risk losing what they have. That is unfair to every single person in that situation (and personally, I find this to be a shameful reflection on the world).

But using that to justify that other workers should stay quiet is equally wrong. It's using something wrong happening to one group of people to justify something wrong happening to another group. Even if you don't believe the moral reasoning, there's the pragmatic angle - this attitude leads to overall worse employee treatment. If 'better off' workers are shamed into not discussing poor treatment (because they should be embarrassed complaining about such trivialities), then minor poor treatment is allowed to escalate unchecked.

In my opinion, a better approach overall is to think "all of us have some rights, including good treatment by an employer and a right to a life not straddled by anxiety or debt". Anyone crusading against that is on the same side.

Are we really stooping to this level of propaganda on HN? Enough already! There is no conceivable way the CCP didn't apply political pressure. That is not the world we live in.
It works reasonably well, but it’s largely dependent on your specific handwriting. Send us an email (team@memos.org) for a promo code if you’d like to give it a try.
Cash management accounts are better for large balances than FDIC accounts at banks for the most part. Since the brokerage abstracts where the balances are actually stored they split your large balances over a number of FDIC accounts and you get up to $1.5M in FDIC cover at some places instead of $250K. If you’re thinking of Robinhood they just did a bad job of execution, and shockingly thought SIPC alone would do, and that’s what angered the SIPC head.
Worldwide? I find that difficult to believe.
A freemium model is exactly what we wanted to avoid :-)

Uncontrolled immigration will cause the dispute between 2 parties like you and Larry, and polarization of the society which neither party can convince the the other one.

I'm not making a judgement about which party is correct or wrong. I'm just saying that there's an high order problem being ignored by a lot of people.
Breaking Apple up into service, app store and hardware might be a (coincidentally) working solution as it will allow third party app store without a censorship but I guess you didn't mean exactly this.
That's function of its obscurity, not its design.
Windows. Thinking of switching to Mac at work, but need Windows for games at home.
If Linux Desktop is a safer environment it has just as much to do with its obscurity as it does with it’s improved security mode.

Add a few hundred million gullible users and you’ll see more malware in Linux Desktop.
Pick your poison I suppose. I'd rather have control and have to pay for antivirus software, but I can see how many non-tech folks would like to offload this to a walled garden.

Centralized planning can end up in disaster though if the wrong decisions are made.
We do similar or related work at the firm I'm in quite frequently. Mostly we have people that understand Mergers and Acquisitions really well, sets of people that understand industries really well, and people that know technology really well (IT operations, business process and applications, infrastructure, app architecture, etc.). These groups of people put together along with methodologies for quick turn-around on analysis afford us higher rates. There's also an element of these types of engagements where clients almost seem to expect higher rates and expense fees; otherwise we may give the perception of a less than serious service provider while involved with high dollar transactions.
Cash management accounts actually pay really good interest rates these days. Personally I’d rather invest my cash and borrow against it on margin haha
Who says Tim Cook knee of it before it hit the news?
Perhaps they should switch over to Elixir instead. It's somewhat similar to Ruby, but the performance of the Erlang VM (BEAM) is second to one for multithreaded and multiprocessed workflows, as is usually the case for many clients on a server for a web app. Of course, Elixir is not as fast as say Rust or perhaps even Java for raw computational work, but I'd say the tradeoff is worth it.
It's not sexist to suggest that testosterone impacts the body and mind. Male hormones exist for a reason and one of those big reasons is to impact behavior in various ways, including sex drive.

What is sexist is assuming testosterone is responsible for autism and acting on that 'knowledge' without proof in some manner that impacts other people's lives.
Yep, can’t find a way to disagree. The last time I was in London I got this weird feeling, walking around and looking at beautiful old buildings with “modern” additions seemingly growing out of them like a cancer.
