Thank you for clarifying this. Based on the coverage I've seen, I had always been under the impression that a shooter shot multiple rounds at a group of people. I had no idea it was a single round directed at a lock in a door. It's amazing how dishonest the headlines and soundbite coverage of this event were.
Won't that give you the letters in alphabetical order, which may not be correct? See example 2 on the problem page.
Several brands' true wireless earbuds have been rated as just as good or better than Airpods, such as the Jabra Elite 65t and Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2, for significantly less ($100 and under). Newer models (that are also cheaper) beat the AirPods Pro on every metric. I can't see how Airpods will continue to be a market leader if their competitors continue this trend; it'll end up like Android, where some people will pay a premium for a brand, and everyone else will pay less for a competitor.
As a Sony ex-fanboi: another fail was the painful bare achievement of stated specs. Sure product did X, but did so relying on weird tech stacks, or not X.00001, or cut corners in presumed but not actually stated specs. Result was that when pushed to a reasonable limit, it often either hit a brick wall or fell off a cliff, to painful results.

Variant: UI is all too often painful. Extra steps, easy invocation of dangerous mistakes.

Finally, the sense of abandonment. You bought it, WTF do you think you are - you want updates for years, or compatibility with other devices?

Vs...

Apple doesn't give much re: specs because they're mostly irrelevant in use. UI is nuanced. And everything is built to keep you smoothly progressing deeper into the ecosystem.
They are already doing that, hence SV salaries.
A lot depends on the state in which the LLC is formed and in which state are you operating. For example, single member LLC's in some states are not as protected as a multi-member (or standard corporations C or S), but in other states they are equal. In IRS terms generally they are no different, but the operating agreement is critical.

The LLC's Operating Agreement is likely the single most important document to create, manage and maintain. So much is based on the operating agreement that without a properly defined one, I'd argue the LLC isn't really valid. If you don't have one, you need one and you need it to be specific to the state law that you are formed and also operating under.

EIN's are generally not obtained by an LLC unless you are a multi-member or employ a person that is not an owner of the LLC. Either one of those is typically the reason to file for an EIN, even if it is just the intent is to employ people in the next 12 months or whatever, usually you obtain an EIN. This dictates how you fill out tax forms for companies during billing.

Running consulting out of an LLC is a great way to go, I built 2 successful consulting agencies using the LLC structure even taking in some outside money in one of them to help us scale a product. LLC's are super flexible and while pretty easy to manage there are a few things to look out for, the operating agreement being the most critical piece IMO. The OA literally defines how you distribute funds, assets, allocations, voting, adding members, removing members, managing the business, dissolution etc. So without it the company isn't really legit in my mind. Most states don't require you file an OA and so people don't understand that it is so critical and without it you are subject to court interpretation and weird defaults depending on the state etc. Some banks require you to show them the OA before they will open an account in the businesses name, not super common, but not rare either.

Also, for any LLC or company, make sure you get your DUNS number and setup a couple of small credit accounts (even for tiny amounts) just so you build the credit as early as possible. This can literally help save your business later.
They're really not.

He dropped regulation and oversight, and the result is we now suffer because of regulation?
I thought Russell's History of Western Philosophy was interesting precisely because it gave Russell's personal view on all the philosophers. (This is just like Kenneth Clark's Civilisation.) There are already dozens of dry textbooks out there, whereas Russell was uniquely positioned to write an entertaining opinion piece on the topic.
I think disregarding the beliefs of others as brainwashing is not giving why they feel the way they do a thorough enough examination; even if they genuinely do live in a manner oppressive to their own freedoms, it's often that they accept it because they think it's necessary to avoid the things that they abhor in the way WE live. And in my own opinion, many things about the way we live legitimately are worth abhorring.
I had a Nokia N95 when I first used an iPhone. It was clear within 5 minutes of using the iPhone that regardless of specs the iPhone was a vastly better experience. That’s how Apple defines “best” and the market has demonstrated that a huge chunk of the market agrees with them and will pay the price for it.
Yeah I think this is one of those cases where both manufacturers and authorities knows there will be extreme scrutiny and no room for error.
1. If my computer goes to sleep, does my personal webpage go offline?

2. If my computer breaks, is all my data lost?

3. If my computer ever gets malware (which steals my key), does this mean attacker can forever access all of my private data? Will they still have that access even after I detect and remove that malware?
Yes, there always was. ICANN has always been a lousy system, now it's a lousy and extremely corrupt system.
I probably agree with you, but I think that's a different question. Whatever metric you're using to decide which candidates to offer employment, there's a rational reason to hold higher standards if you believe you have an effectively infinite surplus of maybe-excellent candidates if you pass on the current marginal candidate.

If you don't have that endless stream, you are more likely choosing between "this candidate" against "no candidate" vs "this candidate" against "the next qualified candidate".
You could see this a different way. Apple has a way of being the forcing function on tech: serial ports, CD drives, low-res displays, Flash, USB-A, headphone jacks.

They push us into a new shift in technology each time. It's like accelerating us by being a single large agent. No one else has the market presence. Suddenly I was able to buy Jabra earbuds that are pretty damned good but the equivalent of which cost twice or thrice as much.

I've always wanted ones like this, not the weird "around the back of the head like I can't keep my glasses on" ones that make me look like a dork and not the "sound quality is worthless and you look like a stock trader" jawbone ones. This is the best world.
This is just a logic error masquerading as an argument. Discrediting single instances of x’s behavior is an endless game, therefore all instances of x are bad. You haven’t provided anything inherent to unions to discredit them that wouldn’t be true of any other form of social organization, from governments to corporations.

There’s more history of unions winning protections, better wages, and improved quality of life for workers across the world than there are evidence of their corruption. It’s why millions upon millions of workers, have created, joined, and maintained them throughout the history of Capitalism. But feel free to try and convince everyone why, for example, the vast majority of trade and industrial workers in developed countries or everyone in the NBA are all just wrong and confused.
That’s for ICANN to figure out.

Besides that, wouldn't they have to have patented a specific implementation? I can think of thousands of ways two implementations can differ for those features.

> It's shocking how easy it is to sway public opinion or plant fake stories that could have a national impact.

If you want a specific example, just read about Nayirah's testimony. How the Bush government, Kuwaiti diplomats and a well placed PR firm along with collusion by news/media used an outright lie to sway the public into supporting war. Nobody was prosecuted for this, nobody went to jail.

If you want a second example, go read about the yellowcake propaganda based on forged documents, by once again a bush government and well placed PR firms along with collusion by news/media to use another outright lie to sway the public into supporting war. Nobody was prosecuted for this, nobody went to jail.

>What wide and varied legitimate use cases did we honestly expect to see?

It's just a bytecode spec, it wasn't created by the mafia or anything. Many people have already used it for porting software to the web, and for math-intensive operations. You can see plenty of such projects by searching HN.

>What wide and varied legitimate uses to we see for JS now?

Are you implying that most JS is currently used for malicious purposes?

I would guess the vast majority of JS is currently used to render content in the browser as part of a frontend framework, or JQuery, which is probably still widely in use in legacy sites. Also for Google Analytics, which I suppose some people might consider malicious. But then half of HN considers javascript illegitimate and malicious by default anyway.

Everything you describe are very minor tweaks to what already exists today.

The bottom line is everyone does have their phone charged and with them always, is probably out of their pocket most of the time anyway, and can get the answer to pretty much any question you can phrase that someone has already answered. The voice assistants will continue to improve, but some people actually prefer thumb-typing for various reasons.

And the "improvements" you suggest probably bring even more problems from privacy, security, and mental health issues than any plausible benefits they might provide.

Sounds like you have a pretty good work-life balance. ;-)

In my experience, once you have enough money then friends, family, social life, and pursuing your own interests are a lot more important than working for a company, and far more deserving of your time and attention. As they say, nobody on their deathbed ever says "I wish I'd spent more time at the office."

I don't like the idea of checklists of technologies to learn.

Instead, I like the idea of thinking about important problems that you would like to solve and then investigating technologies that might help you to do so.

I would also consider looking for some more interesting and fun work within Google.
Exactly whose interests are served by stirring up anger? According to the articles I have read about it, SpaceX is in contact with astronomy groups on this issue.

These satellites are not permanent. There are plans that have been filed with the FCC regarding de-orbiting (if I understand this correctly, this is at most 5-7 years, plus at most an additional year to propulsively de-orbit them). I don't have any insider knowledge, but I believe that it is quite likely that many of the early shiny ones will be de-orbited much more quickly than this as more satellites are added. It is crucial to remember that there will be many thousands of these satellites by the time the network is complete.

A drastic redesign solely for the purpose of mitigating this issue probably isn't helpful because there are many other physical constraints involved. One example is the issue with heat dissipation if both sides were were coated. Why do a redesign when the engineers don't believe it is necessary? That's an awful lot of design, test and validation work to throw out, with little guarantee that much could be improved in that regard anyway.

Success here requires being patient and seeing how the tests go in reality, just like they did with the booster landings. This approach is a much better idea than flipping the priorities by worrying first about the way that non-experts will feel about it. In the end, the goal is to actually have a network of satellites that improves the lives of billions of human beings, while also not destroying the night sky for those that want to take pictures of it. This is a massive undertaking, and without patience and cool heads, it will not succeed.
There admittedly aren't many for "intensive number-crunching that needs to happen in the client even though a server is almost definitely available, and which also can't directly interact with the DOM".

Games and cryptography are the only big ones that come to mind right now (for example, services like ProtonMail that do client-side decryption).

Hopefully the DOM limitation (and general API limitations) will be lifted over time, in which case there could be a huge use-case for client-side rendering which can be a bottleneck right now.

Lifting the API limitations could also allow the web to become truly multi-lingual; you could ditch JS entirely.

But other than the above, you still have the question of "what computation really needs to be done in the web client when you have a server on-hand?" Even in Electron, you have the ability to spin up other processes on the host machine.

I think WebAssembly is super cool but it still needs a killer-app. Ironically, one of the places it's really getting some interesting traction is on the server. It's like a JVM without a garbage collector. I look forward to seeing where that goes.
That’s not really a parked domain then is it? You know when you’ve hit a parked domain when it loads a page covered in ads that says “buy this domain for $30,000” at the top.

FYI: behaviour is an API specification for modules, they don't have to run in their own processes.

However, it is the case that the most commonly used behaviours are gen_server, gen_statem, supervisor, etc, which do live in their own processes, and it is arguably most useful to use behaviours to determine the callbacks that an abstracted, general process-managing module uses to hook into the module you write that describes the implementation of a GenServer.

For an example of a non-process-bound use for a behaviour, one could have "ping" behaviour, which describes running an ICMP ping. You could then describe in abstracted form, the common points between an implementation that uses the linux standard ping, fping, a FFI call to low-level OS hooks and network stacks, a call to the new OTP 22 socket module. Or, in a test environment, write a module where it's backed by a stateful lookup table, where you can assume a ping response, but selectively turn off ping responses to IP addresses to simulate a failed ping response and verify downstream effects.
I really don’t think so. I’d say only minority is using it after streaming services became popular and you can easily do OTA updates. Not much of a reason to use it anymore, that’s why Apple even discontinued it.
Just speaking from my experience. I rejoined Microsoft at 47. Loved it. There are a lot more grey hairs there than during the early days, and nobody cares (in a good way). You’re just part of the team. Go for it. Satya has done amazing things with that company, and in many teams it’s like working for a startup, but with the safety/security of a bigger co.

I lasted 3 years and then got the urge to go chase my own thing again (ML/robotics consultancy), but most my friends (well into their 50’s) are still there.

Go for it.

I asked you what benefit he gets and you listed his 'respected career' and 'eventually an oscar'. You directly answered the question about what union benefits you get from unions with his career. You are changing your reply.

Had he chosen to do nothing that career would never have succeeded. The union did not benefit him his career, his actions did. He had the opportunity to choose SW and did not because the cost of losing union membership was too high. So again, what did the union benefit him? If he was simply choosing to value the union for his own reasons, then you haven't answered the question, you've just shifted the answer to Gary Oldman who is not here to answer for you.
Yes. Celebrities were spreading photos of fires on other continents and other years and claiming that it was the end of the world.

Their apologists will claim they were "just raising awareness" or "drawing attention to the tragedy," but in reality they're doing more harm than good.

Replies like this miss the point completely. The iPod wasn't aimed at people like you who know what Ogg Vorbis is/was. It was aimed at the average, non-techy person and it absolutely crushed it.

Same with the iPhone. The major innovation of the iPhone was that it was simple to use and anyone could pick it up and use it without knowing anything about it.

What users want?
GDPR allows you explicitly to serve strictly necessary cookies without asking for consent. You only have to ask if you track people or don’t know what cookies your site stores with your users.

It is 2020 and totally possible to create websites without cookies or with only functionally needed cookies. You do your users a favour and your site will look better.

The very idea of the GDPR wasn’t to force websites to display cookie banners. It was to clarify that cookies can contain identifyable personal data and can be used for tracking, which is why we should avoid using them in that way or ask for consent if it really must be used.

Uhh... what? Apple didn't "discontinue" iTunes. It just got renamed to Apple Music. They separated out the syncing features but it's still the same product.
While they are indeed very high compared to other professions and the national average, they are still on relatively low growth compared to others. There's also the argument that it's not software engineers that are overpaid, but that everyone else is underpaid [1].

> there may not be a significant paradigm shift on the horizon, nor the associated generational change that goes with it.

That's possible, but I see things that lead to me think that we're not there.

Primarily, there are a number of rather serious problems with the cloud, some of which are inherent to the paradigm and likely can't be resolved -- we'll just have to live with them.

When a paradigm has such problems, the possibility always exists that a new way of doing things can come about that sidesteps those problems.
The world is a good place with good people in it. The perception of bad actors and bad intent is your worldview, not mine. You have too much to gain from painting the world as a bad place, it's not trustworthy. The innocent everyday man aiming to be king of the union has all the personal motive in the world to manufacture a utopian vision of worker's rights. The real world has good people bearing a cross of suffering to generate something of meaningful value in this world.

Over what time period are you claiming there is a rise in hate crime? And how are you defining hate crime?

I've seen several kinds of fallacious arguments related to allegations of a rise in hate crimes. One is based on allowing people to simply claim that a hate crime occurred, without any evidence, verification, or objective definition of hate crime. Many of these claims were later shown to be false, though they continued to be cited as part of the evidence of a 'rise in hate crimes'. In these studies, the actual truth is that there is a rise in unsupported allegations of hate crime, wherein the reporter also decides for themselves what constitutes a 'hate crime.' This doesn't tell us very much about changes in the frequency or nature of real world crime.
