Yeah, definitely, I'll try to replace !g with !s in the future. It is my intention to replace whatever google services I can. But admittedly, since this change is mostly motivated by personal ethics and a desire not to give away my private info (as opposed to issues with the platforms themselves, in terms of functionality), it is a bit rough to adjust to some changes.
Funny to read this today – last night I started reading the book Corporate Confidential[0], which gives exactly the same advice; it's not bad to be old, but it's bad to be perceived as old.

The book recommends what your friend did – go shopping for younger clothes (the book author recommends hiring a stylist every five years) and making sure you don't have grey hair.

"U.S. Officially Declares That Hong Kong Is No Longer Autonomous

WASHINGTON—The State Department has officially determined that Hong Kong is no longer autonomous from China, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement Wednesday that holds implications for the future of economic ties and could lead to sanctions against China.

The State Department is required by the Hong Kong Policy Act to assess the autonomy of the territory from China. It certified to Congress on Thursday that Hong Kong is no longer autonomous."

Thanks for pointer to the next.js raise, this significantly increases the odds I'll use them - the last few times I'd checked the project's commit history, it looked like the lion's share were from one guy who could disappear at any time due to a better job, a girlfriend, or getting hit by a bus.
And the real losers in this fight here are Hongkongese citizens, who fought for their freedom and ultimately are losing it, on top of facing an economic crisis.
Sabotaging the effort of others would actually be something that fit into Chinese political philosophy in this particular case, seeing as how much appearances mean to their long-tail strategy of global dominance and promenance. China being first with a working vaccine doesn't seem important to us, but to them? Fantastic PR for their next round of buying up desriable parts of Africa.

I'm not sure that's unreasonable in general and it goes beyond just $TECH. I have experience and skills in a lot of different areas and, sure, I could pick up new skills in related areas of business and tech fairly quickly. However, if a company is looking for a senior person to "hit the ground running" in an area where I have at best peripheral experience, I wouldn't seriously expect to get hired--especially as an IC.

The details matter of course. If $TECH is something relatively new without a lot of experienced practitioners, it may be reasonable to hire someone with a lot of experience in somewhat related techs. But no matter how skilled the person is, you're probably not going to hire someone for front-end or mobile development who has only ever worked on back-end infrastructure.

My guess is that someone pro CCP sneaked the keywords which trigger the deletion into a list of Chinese insults (i.e. on a list of purely offensive words).

At lest one of the words found first can indeed be seen as denouncing descriptions of communism. I can't judge if it's just that or quite insulting.

If this is true then the interesting question is how they sneaked it in there. From outside by social enginering? From inside by affiliated devs? Through an consultant company hired to create a list of Chinese insults?

The most ironic think is that if my guess is true then it might literally have sneaked in without anyone intention by just using a list of insults from somewhere else without cross validating it.

Boeing kinda does this though. The fact that Boeing benefits accumulate based on time employed and not duration of employment is a nod to this.

They have a reputation for building a 'company within the company' for new plane models, which basically means there's a lot of vertical integration that goes on, and you will know a great deal about one airplane but maybe not much about any of the others. At the height of each cycle they have far more people than they can sustain. They seem like a huge company but they're market cap isn't that high. Yes, they have a bigger market cap than Detroit, but it's also been over 10 years since Apple had enough money its war chest to buy Boeing for cash.

So when a plane hits pre-production they start to get an itchy trigger finger. They get rid of the idiots and the non-essential people, and the non-essential people can hop onto the next thing in a couple of years.

There's a graph in this article that illustrates:

https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/in-go...

They hired like mad for the 787, then did a round of R & D layoffs a while after the first flight. If I'm not mistaken the rampup of staff after that was to build all of the -8 planes which were basically redesigning their other planes with 787 tech.

So it seems the new triple-7 flew in January, so yep, time to trim again. Meanwhile all of those people on the 737-Max are probably furloughed, or retraining on another assembly line, and there would not be an infinite supply of those even without Covid.

It might be more noteworthy to look at how many people haven't been laid off in a lockdown situation. A long time ago, the powers that be in Washington state looked at traffic patterns around Puget Sound and realized that Boeing commuters were a large percentage of this traffic. Boeing has offices all over King County, but the project you work on might be at an office across town, and you might pass several offices on your way to work.

So they made a tax deal with Boeing to divert traffic rather than building more roads. My understanding is that as part of that Boeing allowed people to work from other branch offices, and while working from home wasn't encouraged, some bosses would let you get away with 1 day a week telecommuting. And I'm not sure when 4x10 and 9x9 schedules (four day workweek, 10 hours a day, or 9 day fortnight, 9 hours a day) came in, but those helped too.

Conference call software de rigeur, and whole disk encryption since before it was cool. There are a lot of quite old building blocks in place for at least some departments to keep working without being in the same room.

I've done coding interviews for nearly 10 years now where I present a coding problem, but I never expect syntax correctness. I'll explicitly say I don't care if the function signatures are right or you remember the exact method to call on a given class or whatever; so long as I can tell what you're trying to make the program do. I have to look basic stuff up online every day anyway because nobody can remember it all, I'm not going to knock a candidate for that.

Other than basic filtering questions so I can see if someone is trying to fake their way through an interview, I never ask functional specifics. Even then it's usually just to make sure they at least basically know everything they claim to on their resume - if you don't claim to know JS, I'm not going to ask you about what bind() does, but if you rate yourself a 10/10 JS expert, you should probably have a good answer.

Interviews should be about your thought process and how well you can solve real world problems, not trivia about how well you've memorized an API. I don't understand why so many other interviewers (Even at companies I've worked for) ask coding "gotchas" and reject candidates because they don't remember the semantics of some obscure language feature.
>What’s a good privacy-oriented, web-based email service? I’ve heard of ProtonMail but haven’t used it.

Been Firefox user out of conviction for 10+ years, made the switch to DuckDuckGo as my main search engine with about a year ago, no regrets. But Gmail? It's sticky.

I have so much stuff tied to my email account and it just sucks looking for alternatives. I'd even happily pay. The main difficulty is finding a service that's as mature, feature-wise, as Gmail and a sensible way to migrate all my stuff (email-logins for major websites, informing clients of the new address, etc).

I think the best compromise is using two accounts for a couple of years, heavily focusing on the non-Gmail one and dropping Gmail once you had no interaction with it for a while. But all the obvious alternatives people post don't quite cut it for me, I've been searching for ages.
Ask HN: How do you manage translations?
I have a few hundred English strings to translate. They include both labels and content. I am interested to know how HN gets their project strings translated.

- Cost: The dedicated companies are quite expensive for a hobby project. Did you ever pay for translations? What is the cost model?

Thank you.
"The details of this algorithm were shared by the BND within Maximator with TIVC. This enabled the Dutch to read Argentinian naval and diplomatic communications before the war started. As reported by Aldrich and Wiebes, the British SIGINT organisation GCHQ had neglected Argentina. It was not able to read communications secured by Crypto AG devices. When the war started, it asked, under pressure, countries on the European continent for help. A directly involved Dutch source states that at that stage a specialist from TIVC travelled to GCHQ and explained how the HC500 Crypto AG devices for Argentinian naval and diplomatic communications worked; subsequent solution of the ciphers was left to GCHQ itself."

Nice going GCHQ!

> Of course robotic missions are better for exploration than manned mission. Manned missions costs so much we could do so many more robotic missions for the same cost. People are absolutely not required in space.

Can you imagine being wrong on that? That people can and are cheaper than robots for certain important aspects? That accomplished space robot makers would disagree that robots are at least universally cheaper - or better in other aspects?

> We send people into space because we can and we want. Because we keep separate track of record of things achieved by actual human beings. That's why we list who beat 100m or marathon record even though we have machines to move as around much faster. Because standing a human on a mountain, sea bed, or a piece of rock in space is an important step for us to prove we can command nature around us.

If increased voter turnout helps your political party, you are likely to support it. If it hurts your political party, you are likely to be against it.

When talking about politics its hard to tell whether or not people "believe X because Y" or "believe X because it helps the party". Maybe they don't actually care about X but have meta-awareness and claim to believe X because it helps the party.

This is what makes political discussions annoying and frankly inappropriate. There is no possible way to argue in good faith and people have vested interest in arguing outside of good faith. I'd wager that some people believe they are arguing in good faith but do not realize that they are dramatically influenced by the orthodoxy of their political party.
It doesn't. The way client certs are useful is that a website that only uses client certs for authenticating clients removes the ability for the client's credentials to be leaked.

Even if the user uses the client cert with a phishing site, the phishing site doesn't have the ability to impersonate the user against the real site because the private key is still on the client's device.

In addition, if a browser is configured to automatically use a client cert for all requests to a particular domain, then even that leak doesn't happen because the browser would automatically not use the cert with the phishing domain.
The fact that something is possible or economically advantageous does not make it moral.

Automation: A Failure Story
The 757 has been out of production for 16 years, it's just common because it's cost-effective to own and operate for a variety of services.

With respect to type ratings, Airbus shares type ratings between the 330, 340, and 350, but the 340 is basically gone (few operators), and the 320 (their most numerous airframe) is a different type. Boeing has common type ratings for the 777 and 787, as well as for the 757 and 767.

I like HN, and I'd believe abusing the flag system is hurting the site. I see people talking about this all the time, so people are obviously interested, but instead of really being addressed, there's usually people like you reminding everyone that talking about it is against the guidelines.
The 737 Max is definitely a rehash if old tech with engines that are in an odd spot. However, the main problem with the Max is not stability issues without MCAS. It's that the took a perfectly reasonable airplane that could fly just fine with proper pilot training. But they decided to be cheap and make it handle like a regular 737 using the flawed MCAS system.

The original comment was that Boeing is in trouble itself - and the parent comment was addressing that trouble and what the US response will be.

I agree that those jobs are likely not coming back, but the company isn't going anywhere since the US just lost a lot of clout covering Boeing when the MAX incident happened - they're not going to give up on it now.

I record with Screenflow. It is much simpler (read: slimmer feature set) than Camtasia as well as cheaper.

For as straightforward an application as recording a screen w/ voiceover, there aren't many bad options. Personally, what I like about Screenflow is that it is easy to record straight to a timeline. I.E. I do a take, it saves to the timeline in Screenflow, I cut out the pauses/mistakes/dead air, or split a clip to redo audio or video for a particular section. Once satisfied, I move onto recording the next chunk, it's quite streamlined compared to recording in one app and then editing in another.
