Title of submission should be: 'Leaving spellcheck Enabled On Chrome Is a Privacy Risk'.

In the spirit of trying to do constructive discussion, the original post references the long dead Signal Chrome app. The new desktop garbage they push is a Node.js app called Signal Desktop. They use native spellchecking provided by Node and Hunspell (even on Windows, which could use native windows API available for 8 and newer and which probably is privacy violating)

To the best of my knowledge, Hunspell is privacy conscious software.

EDIT: Additional context, https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-spellchecker also confirms it only uses Hunspell on windows.

Hmm it's interesting how diverse the data sources people are actually using, but there's definitely overlap. I also have tried searching before I write anything myself, and often I find something (both Hangouts and Voice were like that). But it's funny how my use case is always significantly different, so I end up having to put in plenty of work on top of what they've already done.

I suppose one thing that could be universally useful is common documentation about what we've discovered in reverse-engineering the formats. I often have extensive notes like this: https://github.com/NickSto/life-browser/blob/master/drivers/...

I remember finding a wiki about this a while back but I can't find it right now..
Which I think is reasonable - I do think GNU went too far with the version 3 licenses. I think Rob Landley's perspective is interesting, where he was involved with Busybox and the legal action against companies violating the GPL with that software, but later created an alternative to Buysbox that was more permissively licensed because he felt that the whole GPL legal action exercise had been counter-productive for open source software in general (net effect of not encouraging many companies to contribute back but instead just making many companies avoid GPL-licensed software altogether).
The article assumes that the location data must have been collected because he gave an app permission to access his location. I bet they couldn’t figure out which app it was because it wasn’t an app.

Cell service providers can and do track your cellphone location. All they have to do is measure the signal strength of your cellphone at different towers, and they can triangulate its position.

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/nepxbz/i-gave-a-bounty-hu...

I’m not familiar with other locations, but in the US, you only have the choice between three cell service providers. All of them admit to selling their own customer’s location data to third parties in their Privacy Policies.

AT&T https://about.att.com/csr/home/privacy/full_privacy_policy.h...

Verizon https://www.verizon.com/about/privacy/full-privacy-policy

T-Mobile/Sprint https://www.t-mobile.com/privacy-center/our-practices/privac...

Remember, you’re paying for these services. But they still sell you out.

I seriously recommend you read the privacy policy for your provider. It seems they collect as much data as possible (not just location, also browsing history and a whole host of other metrics) and share it with as many different parties as possible.

If you are using a cellphone, your location is being tracked. Period. You can’t avoid it. Even TOR isn’t gonna help you.
On the other hand, many people on HN just like most likely pretty much every human you meet needs to hear something like this in the end blurb:

> If I get a soapbox, here’s my short shtick: We are all so fragile. Each day is precious. And the most important parts of our lives are the relationships we invest in.

Carpe diem! Do something nice for your loved ones. Make friends with someone you dislike. Go be good to somebody who doesn't deserve it. Our time here is limited, there's little space to be petty.
I actually looked into this a bit after posting that comment, since it occurred to me that I don't actually know exactly what's blocking YouTube ads for me. (I'm still not sure, which is why I didn't edit my previous comment after doing that research.)

Empirically, I don't get YouTube ads in the iOS app. I do use Firefox Focus as a content blocker, in addition to AdGuard DNS. I don't use the AdGuard app, and it was my understanding that Firefox Focus only blocked ads in Safari, so I assumed it was AdGuard DNS. The documentation for AdGuard DNS seems to indicate that it shouldn't work for this, but it seems like either that documentation or the documentation for iOS content blockers is missing something. Unless YouTube has just decided not to serve me ads for some reason. (I'm not complaining either way.)
I want to know why this "guillotine" thing has become so big recently? It has largely been Bernie/DSA people. I find it a bit disturbing. I've seen even very innocent things like simply being a landlord as "guillotine" worthy on social media. This is pre-COVID. While most landlords are actually middle class people trying to make a side income. I don't think people actually know what they are asking for, they want revenge on a perceived (false) notion, not reform to make it better; it's a very dangerous path.

I would bet if the far right were making this type of threat, it wouldn't be brushed under the rug.
Language evolves. It is time to accept that certain slurs evolved into just general-purpose insults.
> Delaying deaths (slowing the spread) doesn't mean that "deaths" are prevented

For... the TFA is literally about Germany, a nation that had its outbreak R0 drop below one (i.e. their outbreak was shrinking), far, far, far underneath the herd immunity threshold. It's simply not true that Germany didn't prevent any deaths, that analysis is straight wrong. The same holds for most of east asia.

The only reason, quite frankly, that this doesn't seem to be happening in the US is because there is a segment of the population being led to believe that lockdowns are impossible, or that they don't work, or that they're an imposition on fundamental freedoms. So we're doing it badly. But it can absolutely be done well, as nations like Germany show.

Yeah. They have broken Google Docs for so many years. What a shitty product, it's not like many people around the world use it.

I bet you also use Duck Duck Go ? And don't like Google's interviewing process ? Or it's high salary to it's engineers ?
And a thing you can do for machines that have built-in keyboards is refuse to enable new HID devices until the user provides affirmative consent. The people who have reason to care about these attacks have defenses, and research that demonstrates those defenses are incomplete is useful research.
I doubt there's anyone in our society who hasn't heard that adage at one point or another. Not that it isn't meaningful, but I don't think hearing it repeated again justifies the toll on mental health that comes with it in this instance.
Pancreatic cancer is almost always asymptomatic, until far too late for anything but palliative treatment. And it's extremely coagulogenic, so clots are often the initial symptom.

Whenever a client gets a short read it needs to issue a request at the missing offset if the caller wanted more bytes. Only if the server returns zero on that read can it assume EOF and concurrent truncation.

We're going to have to fix the Samba server to never return short reads when using io_uring because the clients with this bug are already out there. But if what you're saying is how Microsoft expects the protocol to operate then it needs to be documented in MS-SMB2 because I don't think it's specified this way at the moment.
You always want to be working with warm leads. I've only ever applied through the following:

- college OCR postings

- a recruiting firm run by people i personally know (specializing in smaller startups)

- companies that ex-co-workers work at

- FAANG recruiters that reached out via LinkedIn

- personalized emails from in-house recruiters or hiring managers

So, in all these cases, I'm already connected with someone who is incentivized to get me hired, and I start off with a recruiter screen or initial technical screen, depending on the company. And then from there, it's up to your own skills at interviewing (which are slightly correlated with your skills as an engineer).

If I was just randomly dropping resumes everywhere, no way I would ever even make it to that first screening call. You need to be paired with someone who's going to handhold your resume through the whole process until you are either hired or bomb your interview.
>> less money always has fewer opportunities.

That's a fact of the US system.

> I don't know what you mean by "getting in after all the really wealthy get in"... VCs, IPOs? That's not even close to necessary.

That's a strawman. What's necessary, isn't the subject.

> And "all the investments with minimums in the thousands"? Well... don't buy those!

The wealthy have more opportunity, got it. Pointing to some other instrument, saying "it's also good" is not a correction.

> Everything you've said is wrong.

If you find yourself saying this, you're probably about to say something stupid. It's trite nonsense.
Alternately, use Org mode.
This is a great question and something I've pondered. I recently learned that mixing tabs and space in certain Python environments, such Google Cloud Functions, simply isn't allowed -- uploading such code will cause an error.

Unfortunately, that might be the cleanest solution for Margin, too: to simply disallow the intermingling of tabs and spaces as hierarchical tokens within a single parent.

In that scenario, you could use tabs in one part of the document and spaces in the other -- as long as all the direct children of one parent item follow the same rules.
These arguments were indeed used 30 years ago, but shortly after the USSR fell apart, the American Superconducting Supercollider was defunded midway through construction. The US was satisfied to become 2nd to Europe in this field then, I don't see why the US wouldn't be equally satisfied to be 4th to Europe, Japan, and China a little while later.
If you don't need much in terms of computing power or you just use the API for delegation, Node makes for a good choice. It's a mature ecosystem, well documented, well supported, has excellent community.

The wealthy produce more income via capital gains, which are taxed at lower rates. They also have greater access to tax deferred and tax free options. A married couple of high earners with a good retirement plan at work can put nearly 150,000 annually in accounts that grow tax free.

You're being sarcastic but will Wilkinson took this question seriously years ago in a piece to address libertarians[1]

>[...]"The important thing to note, in this case, is that the scholars making these assumptions, Ian Vásquez and Tanja Porčnik, former Cato Institute colleagues of mine, are libertarians who understand freedom as “the absence of coercive constraint.” And when they apply that notion of freedom and stick all their Koch-funded assumptions into an index and add everything up, Denmark, which is what Bernie Sanders thinks of as a model of “democratic socialism,” comes out a lot freer than the United States. Canada, which has precisely the sort of single-payer health-care system Bernie Sanders wants, comes out a lot freer than the United States—on a libertarian index of freedom."[...]

An ADHD diagnosis is not purely based off of exhibiting behaviors typically associated with it. While everyone is forgetful/distracted sometimes, ADHDers have a physical/chemical difference in their brain which make such behaviors impossible to avoid.

All good sibling comments. Also Clang is Chris Lattner's baby from his days back at University of Illinois. It was never intended to be "GCC without the GPL". It demonstrates an entirely different compilation paradigm where you optimize abstractly based on clang's IR. If you can compile to IR (a clang front end) you can apply the same optimizations universally. Obviously it has it's practical hiccups like still needing to have an architecture specific optimization pass but it's a cool idea and has proven rather successful.
I enjoy Node when I'm pulling from several external APIs and need to pipe the data somewhere with minor mutations.

Pretty much every API will have a JavaScript library/documentation, which is a huge time saver.
Presumably that would be after they lose all that because they can't pay for it anymore.

Then again, judging by the downvote happy people here, there may not be enough braincells left for a successful revolution.

How did we get from “a few cases of assault” to “terrorism”? The fact you use them interchangeably dilutes the meaning of both.

Is what you describe of terrorist “suspects” also true of actual terrorists? This sounds like a dog whistle.

For all the criticism hacker news gives whiteboard algorithm interviews, those at least are testing performance under pressure for a skill related to the job. Arrogance is a bigger problem in interviews. What comes off as confidence in an interview might come off as asshole at work.
There is nothing fundamentally wrong with you -- many of us are in the same boat. It's a problem you can make progress on, not an inescapable curse.

When you're addicted to novelty, mechanical approaches like pomodoro or the one described in this post aren't good long-term solutions. I would suggest checking out more mindfulness-based approaches.

Here's my current recipe:

1. Notice when I feel the pull of a distraction.
2. Stop what I'm doing. Literally stop everything for as long as I need to clear my mind. This usually takes about 15 seconds, but sometimes it takes more like 10 minutes. This part is really hard -- when I started doing it, I would feel guilty for "wasting time", even though getting distracted often meant 20 minutes, an hour, or even more completely wasted, and in the worst, most guilt-inducing way.
3. Once my mind is clear, ask myself this question: "What do I truly _want_ to do with this moment of my life?"
4. Do that thing.

If I want to cruise Reddit for half an hour, I'll cruise Reddit for half an hour, and feel good about it. If I want to go back to my original task -- that's great. If I want to call up my dad and see how he's doing, or write a nice note to my wife, that's even better.

Never do anything you don't want to do. It's the _guilt_ that's unhealthy and addicting. Do what you _want_ to do -- and that doesn't have to look like being a programmer/working prodigy all the time.

I regularly fail at this, but over the past year, I've gotten better. And I promise you can, too.

There's a pretty good technical illustration of how the discount rate impacts stock prices here [0].

This does provide one plausible answer to the headline question from TFA: Corporations' expected future profits are lower than they were pre-COVID, but the valuation discount rate is lower because the expected future return for assets in general is lower, so the present value of corporations' expected future profits is the same-ish as it was pre-COVID.

Hey HN! I have been working on a calculator tool that aims to clearly show you how much your equity is worth (including information like taxes on exercising and selling, which recruiters typically do not focus on) and show how you can optimize your profit.
Currently, the main way the tool shows you how to optimize your profit is to show how much money you can make from exercising early. We also help you exercise the options with no personal recourse to you if the company goes under (we take a % of the profit during liquidation).

This is a problem I have faced with my equity and my hope is that a tool like this can help others from making similar mistakes with their equity.

Check out the product at https://equifi.io/ and please let me know if you have any feedback/questions!

There are huge swaths of people who don’t think about physical security at all.

But many do and it’s a difficult problem that impacts the efficiency of the business. I’ve had to deal with it often and end of the day, you need to keep important data off of mobile or other client devices, and have controlled workarounds for exceptions.

Some of the tougher compliance standards recognize this and essentially prohibit many types of remote access without the entity owning the remote computer.
Which is not really done yet either. I might add that... I’ll work on it tonight (CEST), probably.

You can find whatever type of company you want.

I find the complaining of most engineers incoherent. Until March or so, more than at any point in time, being a competent software engineer opened doors at thousands of companies. I expect we'll be back there within two years tops.

When you are looking for a job, ask the person you're talking to what expectations are. Ask the hiring manager how he or she defines success for the role. Ask every employee you speak to how much they work. You'll get your answer. Pick your employer accordingly.

ps -- at my 40-ish person startup, eng rarely work more than 45h/week. And we have plenty of parents. We do however make comparatively boring software sold to enterprises, and have trouble hiring in part because of that (imo).

No, but looking at it now, it's definitely an inspiring model for how to do something like this right.

I'd say the goals of Margin are similar, but more focused on thought that is specifically hierarchical in nature -- whereas ArchieML seems to be more focused on structuring text in key:value pairs (if I'm understanding it correctly).

The hope with Margin is that lots of people already store their notes, to do lists, and random thoughts in a format that might already be (or almost be) valid Margin. It's intentionally non-technical, and its syntax should make sense to those who don't know or care what Margin is.
>we would happily let this wash over the whole population and kill 1% of us

Thats exactly what will happen. Based on sampling its much much less like .1% to .5% but there not much of an option. It would be like saying no one should smoke or drive cause people will die.
