Not every day a sitting President threatens a media outlet for exercising their freedom of the press, but it's not the first time it's happened.

Of course, most Presidents have been constrained by some modicum of understanding that their oath to uphold the Constitution applies to the whole thing.

> Honestly I think the Firebase comparison may be throwing some people off here because this is a SQL-based system

You're correct - we're building on top of Postgres so it's not a perfect comparison. And we're a bit early to even make it a fair claim.

I'm glad the crowd here has been so receptive. We were planning of launching in September, but it must have been picked up somewhere on the internet (thanks @habosa)

Why read those part at all if they are not meant to be remembered?
The problem inevitably has flared up: Twitter's head of integrity leading this push has previously tweeted that Trump is a Nazi and accused the flyover states of being racist.

https://twitter.com/Liz_Wheeler/status/1265463081997484032

This isn't going to end well, and unless Twitter is going to exercise this impartially (which is impossible given a human is involved), they are going to lose their platform status, and justifiably so.
Repost from duplicate post:

Obviously, based on his history, it is just a reaction, but not necessarily an idle threat. I am both hesitant and interested at the same time. It is a little like his stance on FISA. It it clear any changes are just to benefit the president with other benefits being an afterthought, but some of the power held by FISA and social media should be curbed

Scott Adams claimed that Trump uses methods from hypnosis. I have no idea if that's true, but it's the best explanation I've seen for the irrational support he still gets.

Do people seriously read cover letters. I've often debated if its worth the time ivestment.
Would he defend your right to say it in his living room, though?

(Let's also not lose sight of the fact that Trump hasn't even had his tweets deleted or censored in any fashion. Just a note added underneath.)

I had this happening for a while, and I tracked it down to time-machine backups starting. Every hour the backupd cronjob would trigger and I'd get a minute or so of beachball. Similar WATCHDOG termination message. It crashed a couple times and corrupted the backup database. I disabled time-machine and haven't had any freezes since.
They picked an example that really aged well. Look at netflix today - it's clear that a little bit of humility would have been warranted in 2011 when talking about the company.
"Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives voices"

Reddit is the best example of that. I don't want to defend him but look at every single news and politics related sub from /r/news, /r/worldnews, /r/politics etc.

But that happens here too. Honestly I blame the upvote downvote system more. Reddit and HN are both really wrong with it
Well I was judging by the results mostly. Got the cold shoulder deep in the hiring process from a lot of them.

I totally agree with the sentiment about the tech trends. It's particularly evident in anything frontend which is why I mostly focus on backends and reliability.
There's an app for that called Aldente[0]. I am sceptical of the benefits though, too much of micromanagement for a device that's supposed to just work.

I mean you can be better off if instead of undercharging the device all the time and have less than optimal charge when you need it today you can have a device that holds just as little charge some time in the feature and fix it by replacing the battery if it turns into an issue.

Live the high life today worry-free and suffer tomorrow instead of suffering today for some possible occasion in the feature where you might need few more hours of juice.

I want to try it, but I do no use windows. As far as I can tell, that means I cannot use supermemo currently - correct?
Just this year, Google/firebase has dropped their flat monthly fee plan which increased the spark plans limits. Just this week cloud functions have been removed from the free spark plan, which will break a lot of peoples apps.

These decisions are alienating to me. I've been working on migrating my heroku mern stack app to firebase but now I'm having serious second thoughts. I was initially attracted by the free and flat fee plans. I won't ever sign up for a service that demands absolute liability without any way to put hard limits on expense. Without a way to put an absolute maximum limit on expenses, whether $10k or 0.01, I'll never upgrade my account on firebase.

I've spent this week reviewing some alternatives and standing up everything myself on a vps is more attractive then losing sleep over the possibility of my crappy code bankrupting me on firebase.
It's more than just "entice". Google has crippled apps which don't use FCM since Oreo by limiting their ability to run alternatives which have a blocking socket waiting for new information. Only choice is to use FCM or lose essential functionality.

1) Don't give up.

2) Try boring industries banks, insurance, local govt.

3) Be excellent at something and pretty good at everything else.

4) OK to be opinionated about tech, but more important to be current. It may be a straight Java shop, but you should know what Clojure and Kotlin are if your a Java guy who's current.

5) Maintain your personal & professional networks.

6) Although it's very hard, try to remain upbeat. Enter every interview with the attitude that the interviewer is a friend who wants you to succeed.

Good luck. Its hard but doable. (53 yo who just started a new role)
Same here on a 4000 euro MBP 16”. I tried everything, but multiple times a day having kernel panics when starting up from sleep in clamshell mode.
I had the exact same attitude as you. I got laid off at the start of covid from a travel-tech startup. At first my mentality was "I'm a really good engineer with a solid resume, I don't need my network or even need to use a recruiter".

I cold-applied to a number of jobs and didn't even receive a response from most. Did they pause hiring because of covid? Was my resume just not good enough? After about 2-3 weeks of this I finally folded and starting talking to recruiters. I had 3 final round interviews at companies who I'd love to work for within 2 weeks, ultimately resulting in my current job. That's just using recruiters' "networks". If you have someone in your own network that thinks highly enough of you, the entire interview process can sometimes end up being as quick and painless as grabbing a coffee.

My advice is to try and leave your pride at the door and just think of it as playing the game. There's no reason to handicap yourself when most people you're competing with will be playing at full strength - many of whom I'm sure are more arrogant than you ;)
That's true. See my comments here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23320443

What should I do if not much hair is left to dye? :)

Seriously, thanks for the anecdotes. I could imagine companies are a bit afraid of a grumpy old geezer having a bad influence on the company's work atmosphere. This may be less of a concern if they feel the person is trying to keep up with the younger people also for non-work related stuff.
Yes - but in this case the CEO has none so he needs to outsource his integrity to someone else, and when you are a vacuum of integrity, everyone else looks like a saint. Therefore, top comment.

FTFY :)
I remember some software VC lady explaining this tactic among others for OSS businesses on the software engineering daily podcast. Her world seemed so inherently competitive, yet here she was, revealing her cards. Even though burning bridges to get ahead is typical behavior, it remains destructive. Calling it out helps us all move in a better direction.
Im seeming to have the same issue. 2019 MBP connecting through USB-C. However, I find the issue is less frequent (to non existent) after I switched to a USB-C to HDMI adapter.
unconscious bias is by definition unconscious.
Not necessarily in sports, but in other domains success may also often be the outcome of a stochastic process, because there are so many factors involved. This is often overlooked and successful people don't like to hear it, but the fact that they are among the successful whereas others with similar prerequisites aren't can often be attributed to pure chance.

There is a lot of survivor bias in the assessment of success.

I believe that successful people tend to have a high base level of intelligence, often high social intelligence, are often very persistent, and rich parents and good looks also help a lot. But it's equally important to happen to be at right place at the right time and meeting the right people.

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are good examples in my opinion, had they been born ten years later they might have ended up in only moderately successful software business, or selling printers and go out of business by the early 90s, or creating a failed video game console. They started their businesses at exactly the right time, met the right people, and made good decisions in some early, very dynamic and emerging markets.
> So, yeah, many of us get a bit worked up when people are kicked off platforms, because they are being silenced, sometimes to the point of being shut out of the modern internet entirely (when their rights to a DNS address are comprehensively removed).

Why is it bad that were refusing to let something like stormfront operate in polite society? Your free speech absolutism is dangerous.

You can't debate an inherently bad-faith interlocutor, so dealing with Nazis points "out in the open," "in the marketplace of ideas," will not work. It will only legitimize their viewpoint as one worthy of consideration, thus debate. It's cool and good what happened to them.
I find the same is true when listening to lectures and non-trivial podcasts. I "can" listen to them at 2x speed (and many are proud of regularly doing it), but over time I found it's better to leave it at 1x, unless it's an 80+ year old person talking (sorry, Chomsky!). The point isn't to understand the words like some speech transcription algorithm, but to engage with them. "But FOMO! How will I catch up on all the JRE episodes then?!" Thing is, there are so many high quality podcasts out there that you cannot hope to digest them all deeply. Of course broad and deep are both needed. You need a view of "roughly what types of interesting things exist out there" in order to be able to dive into one, but endless "I'm interested in everything" is also untimately fruitless and let's you tread in place. Strangely enough once you do one thing deeply, it opens more avenues for understanding the other things.

I would not rely on ABET for this.

Stanford, CMU, Yale, Cornell, Columbia, and Princeton aren't ABET accredited. Devry Tech is, but I still think you should give Stanford and CMU a second look.
I'm Irish but have been living in London for 15 years. I think about moving back occasionally but I fear about it being 'too small', and I don't particularly want to live in Dublin.

I just turned 39 and this scenario is already on my mind.
> So for this to be a reasonable opinion, it merely has to be reasonably possible for the claim to be true.

This position makes no sense to me, because the original statement indicates certainty. Therefore, you need to test the opposite of what you suggest, i.e. the statement can only be true if the election must contain substantial fraud.

When you negate the double negative, the claim in the tweet is:

> mail-in ballots will certainly be substantially fraudulent

Therefore if there is any chance that they will not contain substantial fraud, it is clearly a false statement.
The head of integrity has unabashedly showcased his strong political bias on Twitter, and I suspect things will begin going poorly for either him or Twitter shortly.

As an eng manager, my concern with Supabase is the complexity of the systems involved. There's PostgREST (Haskell) and then a bunch of Elixir on top? Not only is that two services (plus the database) but they're in languages that aren't easy to hire for if I have to do maintenance or development.

I don't think this will be a problem for attracting startups (who will take up the new hotness) or for large enterprises (where you can package all the services into a black box that you support). And I get that you're building on some well-known existing software (PostgREST, primarily) but I'm still concerned about the operational overhead.

My preference (as an eng manager) would be to operate (and develop hooks for) a single generated server in Go, Java, or Python rather than manage a real BaaS.

Still, it's a cool project and good to have open source _and_ backed by YC. I passed it along to friends whk are looking for this kind of thing. Best of luck.

Keep trying with Google. And you might have better luck applying as an SRE than a SWE. SRE job description is pretty serious engineering at Google.
Why do you guys put up with this? Do you like pain?

Edit: I'm not trying to troll, I genuinely want to know why people put up with this. I bounce between Linux and Windows and have no loyalty to either of them. I've settled on Windows with WSL2 on my desktop but I'm tempted again to install the new Fedora on my Thinkpad. Is it the lock in? With my hardware I can run anything I want except for macOS. Once you buy Apple hardware it seems incredibly difficult to go elsewhere.
Is Twitter a media outlet? If they want to be classified as such it might make them susceptible to slander lawsuits
Working on a number of quarantine projects, I have come close to this now. Currently make single fullstack repo for the app with backend and frontend code committed together and deployed separately. Client goes to Netlify. Backend to a hosted VM that can autoupdate from Github and apply schema migrations.

Local dev, autorefreshes the Vuejs frontend code (yarn serve) and backend autorefreshes with `air` if Go-based or Intellij debug hot-reload if Jvm-based. I can whip up a db schema, backend, and frontend in a day with a good amount of layout and styling. It just took repetition and templating a few things.

Which is to say it doesn't take a lot of tooling to be productive--as long as it's focused.
Any time I get these they come with a bushel of IOAccelerator errors; I'm fairly sure (in my case, at least) it's a problem buried somewhere in the video decoder stack.

I can reproduce it pretty reliably by previewing a bunch of videos in Messages, and quitting the app usually solves it.

Edit: I use a 13" MBP, so that rules out most popular theories e.g. problems with the discrete GPU or graphics switching.

Reddit literally censors the actual Donald Trump campaign subreddit: it's hidden behind a scary warning screen and demonetized https://old.reddit.com/r/The_Donald . Hilarious.

Correct. Twitter may be silenced altogether for exercising journalistic integrity.

My daily driver is a maxed-out (for its time) 2012 MBP15r, and I've been on High Sierra for a long time. I like the keyboard, there are maybe 5 dead pixels, and it's fast enough for my purposes. It's newrly always plugged in so the mediocre battery life hasn't been a problem. A new contract gig is about to commence, and I'll be using their hardware. It's strange to be feeling apprehension about degraded DX on a brand new dev machine vs my 8 year old warhorse.
Appears to be the same in Germany where there's freedom of panorama: art and architecture that is permanently in public space might be photographed and the pictures published without the artist's consent.

It gets complicated when people are photographed. You're allowed to take pictures of crowds at events, but you are not allowed to take pictures of individuals.

I could never have imagined that calling the police to protect yourself from being recorded could ruin your whole life (you know what I am talking about, ofcourse that's just one part of the fiasco that's been overlooked).

Clearly broadcast and social media are a new occurrence that needs to be factored into the discussion somehow, and if you were to argue that applying Enlightenment political theory to the current situation is an anachronism, I would tend to agree.

I’d also like to see social media and search engines legislated as utilities... but I’m in the EU so my opinion scarcely matters, to be perfectly honest.
The article doesn't really go into why the reservations were worse hit than other US areas. They are "sovereign" "nations" so surely they have some autonomy to set their own lockdown, travel policies, and other responses to the pandemic.

Did they have even worse governance than the US generally? Or dense living conditions? Or particularly vulnerable age profiles? I get that they're not generally wealthy, but probably wealthier than places like Vietnam and Mongolia which contained the spread very well.
Independent of age, there are a number of areas in tech which are heavily biased towards experience and perspective (usually correlated with age), particularly in SRE/DevOps.

I know we're struggling to find folks in EU with that kind of background - DM me for the specific positions, or consider areas where your experience is a tremendous asset.
A Heritage Foundation paper from the White House website. What a reputable source....

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/05/26/review-tr...

Many states already do mail-in ballots and they're much more secure than the sketchy voting machines currently in use: https://qz.com/1783766/these-voting-machine-security-flaws-t...
If you actually skim that document, the vast majority are simple single-vote "pleaded guilty to the charge of knowingly voting while ineligible" scenarios. They had to go back twenty years to find a thousand of these, out of billions of votes cast during that period.
In an ideal democracy, that's how it works. But we see in a corrupt democracy, the elite politicians manipulate people that think with emotions, and buy their votes with false promises and handouts. And they can never be blamed because "4 years is not enough to accomplish much"
I don't think you can conclusively say "Modern batteries should never swell" since there's always the possibility of manufacturing and design defects in new batteries too.

It's the battery equivalent of the halting problem in software.

No manufacturing and design process is perfect, there will always be errors. If you do find a perfect design and manufacturing process, I think you wouldn't be posting here on hackers news but would be drinking champaign with Bill Gates and Warren Buffet.
"Controlled by special interests" is half the story.

The other half is to realize that in the US representative democracy, the people who change policy are the ones who are dedicated enough to the task to make a career out of it, at the expense of other things they could be doing. Because the system isn't managed by the will of the people; it's managed by the will of the subset of the people who put the (quite large amount of) effort in to be known and heard. Most Americans don't even do the base work of showing up to vote in every election (and the turnout numbers are too low to explain that effect by voter suppression alone).

Those with other things to do and not enough time to be devoted full-time to policy-craft label those who do "special interests."

The NRA is a special interest, but so is the ACLU. And the NAACP. And the AFL-CIO. And the EFF.
