That's interesting, I get a lot of job offers via LinkedIn. For my last job search I did very little direct searching for jobs I had enough just from linked in.

I think Linked in helps more if you are experienced and have a decent network - it probably not going to help a new graduate or some one looking for a second job.

The agencies using it can be a bit variable, pre covid-19 I was pitched a Grade 7/6 Job in the UK civil service and the agency seemed clueless - Grade 7 and 6 are very senior positions Think the sort of Gig Mat Cuts Has
> So land taxes?

It's entirely different, because those are under the control of the people. You (presumably) have a lot of protections when it comes to speaking your mind regarding those, and voting rights when it comes to electing the people who set those taxes.

Your fridge maker has no obligation to listen to you.
We have used S3 successfully several times. You can create a Maven repository, use it as RPM repo and many other use cases to host artifacts. I am not sure what functionality is missing that cannot be implemented on the top of S3 and requires CodeArtifact.
Does anyone know that Zoom took over Keybase?

It's crazy, no encryption for non-paid Videoconferencing, but buying Keybase?

Leaves a really bad taste in my mouth, and now that...
They represent the shareholders. They usually have the power to hire/fire the CEO and other CxO level management. They run "the company on behalf of its members".

They're expected to set the company's strategy, are responsible for the company's regulatory compliance, ensure that the company is properly reporting its performance to its shareholders, that it doesn't trade while insolvent, etc.

There are "executive directors" that have management responsibility, eg the CEO and "non-executive directors" that do not. In the US, often the CEO and the President of the board are the same person, but that's less common elsewhere and is considered a flaw in corporate governance.

There is also the concept of "independence" where a director is independent of related interests, eg being also related to other corporations that have major business as a supplier or customer etc.
Indeed, but who's making their fortune selling software to family businesses? If you're going to make "a fortune"... sell to people who have money. You can make a living though, quite happily. If there's a pile of small businesses which all need more-or-less the same software, set up a crowdfunding campaign and advertise it wherever they hang out. Sell a support contract. Sell a training course. When someone wants that one extra feature, quote them for it.

Or even better, grab some other people with knowledge of the domain and go find capital so you can do what the other businesses are doing, but better, because you're backed by deep knowledge of the software that runs your company and the other companies have no clue and no money.
Not just the topology of the brain, but the environment is also important. Human life is more diverse than that of AlphaGo, we can borrow concepts gained while doing something else. Should we count those external tasks as part of the learning to play Go?
isn't there another python writable iac project?
I've noticed this as well.

I don't understand why as a developer I'd want to use LinkedIn. I have StackOverflow and GitHub which a lot of relevant leads come from.

When I buy a used car - I don't publish a "I'm looking for a used car" post and wait for car salespeople to approach me. I go and charactarize what I'm looking for and then go car-shopping.

When I look for a job - I don't publish a "I'm looking for a job". Talking to the recruiters (HR people) is very boring and often counterproductive.

Contributing to open source and meeting and talking to engineers and building things is a lot more fun and rewarding.

That's why I don't have a linkedin (well, only an account for the API). It always seemed like "opting in to a lot of spam" without getting any value as a developer. I don't even think I'm particularly good - but great developers probably have this x100.

Of course if I was not a developer but a sales person my situation would be completely different.
"I am what I am." - Popeye
The website is down, but yeah, offering customised ISO files with Windows and some tools is clearly a breach of license. You can't just take a paid OS distribution, add some config and plonk it onto github.

There's been people patching and customising Windows for many years, but most of the time that was done in the form of gaining an official ISO, patching it with a program on your computer and then using that to install. With that model the user is the one violating the license, not the distributor, though often these configurations used the official Windows API for OEMs so it was legally grey enough that I've never heard of any lawsuits.

If these people just provided an exe and some patch files to turn an official ISO into the same thing as they offered on their website, they'd likely be in the clear.

I'm not entirely sure what the point of the project is though, loads of pentesting tools only run well on Linux and there's plenty of Linux pentesting kits already. Why not just run Kali in a fullscreen virtualbox and be done with it? Or load Kali into WSL2, assuming Microsoft has fixed the hardware access limitations in WSL1?
That’s nieve.

Does it match your decor?

I think you’d be surprised by the number of people who buy something that’s in their price range but also matches their idea of what that thing should look like.

Style.
I do almost nothing on LinkedIn. I used to keep it up to date; I still have hundreds of outdated, barely relevant contacts. My CV hasn't been updated in years.

And yet recruiters keep finding me through LinkedIn, and I keep getting freelance positions through those recruiters. I put very little effort in finding new positions, but they're always available.

A coworker on my current project who is also a freelancer is much more active. He tries to contact people in companies he wants to work for and gets interesting jobs that way without having recruiters as middlemen. That takes more effort but saves money. Maybe I should do that too.

Maybe it's different for freelancers. Maybe the Dutch market is different from the author's market. I'm no fan of LinkedIn, but it seems to work for me.

Then I don't really get what the news value of this post is. Pretty much nothing that you don't actively use provides value. It comes across more as "LinkedIn has no value" to me.
>> I think mainly the ease of having security dealt with around who can access etc really. Ofc you can just upload files and serve them over http,

This is where S3 really shines. You can give developers access through group membership while servers using instance profiles. We have implemented a fine grained access control for the S3 repos that works really well. Of course you access the content via HTTPS.
You need domain knowledge of something to make money. You're not going to make your fortunes developing stuff you have literally no idea about.
> LinkedIn is a glorified resume site.

And what's wrong with that ?
No, for the majority of people that is a part of the product they do not care about. That's educated tech people at Google, which had to forbid the use of Zoom, and high school teachers alike.

Subtle yet severe privacy invasions do not matter to the glaring majority of people because they cannot associate it with direct consequences.

If I have been using Zoom and the Chinese government now has 200 hours of my facial and speech data, at first it doesn't impact me. I don't see the impact, I don't feel it aside from some people yelling on HN.

The consequences are either subtle and easily dismissed (e.g. ad tech/marketing when Instagram secretly listens to the phone mic and suddenly you see products that were part of the conversation) or severe and too far out to relate it to a Zoom call 23 months ago (e.g. border control when entering China for tourism).

If you're not an activist then chances are you do not care about online privacy.
+1 for Ishitani and Pask, and thanks for the other links. If we're talking about boat-builders, don't forget Louis Sauzedde, who seems recently to have returned from a long hiatus:

> So you use LinkedIn only passively

I imagine there are a lot of passive users of linkedIn. I found the article interesting as I have been considering deleting my account too and share similar emotions.

Police Officers’ Personal Info Leaked on Internet Amid Tensions: Report
Hi all - fresh off a fundraise, our start-up is ramping up recruitment.

Taptap Send is a fast-growing fintech start-up that allows immigrants to send money back home to Africa and beyond instantly and at very low prices. We are VC-backed by investors including by Reid Hoffman (co-founder of Linkedin), rapidly growing and a great place for those looking for both impact and a fast-paced tech startup environment.

We are hiring across a range of roles - Chief of Staff, Head of People and building out the BD and eng teams - across our London/NY/Paris offices - see more details below:https://taptapsend.recruiterbox.com/
Adding bankruptcy fraud to the list of items on the docket is likely not the best way forward.
True, but "giving a ballpark estimate to replicate the experiment" is quite different to "How much did it cost"
Worth a historical note that this method of distributing more and more invasive software patches was how BSD was born.
That is an unexpectedly balanced and informative piece from Slate. There are two main assumptions underlying progressive politics: systemic oppression and exploitation. Social Justice Activism takes these assumptions to be true by default. Anti-capitalist Black Bloc anarchists, for instance, take any opportunity to destroy corporate property as a positive move to eliminate economic exploitation. They don’t tend to revisit their assumptions.

Bypassing due process and the presumption of innocence does not promote justice. Perhaps news stories should include subscription links to be notified of the key due process events associated with the criminal investigation.

I would hope that thoughtful protest could be patiently delayed until due process is complete.
Middle English Fonts and Orthography
It's not quite clear what is published here. What copyrighted material is it that is accessed through somme kind of "circumvention" and what is the circumvention?
I think the problem with this approach becomes apparent when the database model changes, suddenly the API doesn't match the model anymore or the API needs to change. Both can be difficult problems leading to braking changes in the client(s).
Of course, for some rapid testing and simple personal projects this doesn't matter so much but for most other projects I think this might bite you hard in the future.
I disagree. Deliveroo have a presence in Europe (eg Italy, France, Belgium). Then theres Hong Kong, Austrilia, UAE, Singapore. Investment would affect other markets too.
Weird when you can just do it using S3 for 50% of the price.

I don't mean for this particular tool.

I mean for the fact you have less and less to say with regards to your installation. I have been Windows user for many years but around 4-5 years ago I got fed up with the fact Microsoft decides on a daily basis to change completely the stuff I own and not let me have anything to say about it. I don't want to have any Live accounts to log in to my machine, I don't want significant updates installed without me having anything to say about it. I want to spend time doing actual work and not babysitting the OS because I just got interrupted by another Microsoft idea.

Currently the only Windows I personally use is a VM I use to do my remote work because I am forced to use Windows. Just this weekend I got the very significant Edge update that completely blew my setup and caused me to spend an entire day to fix. As I am paid by the hour this is pretty significant: unhappy client, lots of work stacked.

You would think a backup would help? After all this is VM that I basically don't touch. The only site I open is the one I use for remote connection. The only tool I ever run is Edge. Unfortunately, it was not possible for me to revive the backup and not have it immediately do its thing.

I am disgusted.
I am one of the first LinkedIn members. Closed my account this year.

It gave me nothing much.

Recent 'x mentioned u r reporting to Y' was the turning point for me. Too much fuss for nothing.
This one is. Colds seem to be inconsequential (although there are questions about ME). SARS and MERS are rare and were either very deadly or very life altering. Covid seems to fall in the middle. Hopefully the long term effects for the majority will be similar to colds.
There's the stat that the police take more in civil forfeiture than all burglaries, but that's the "perfectly legal" theft by police. Invisible theft by police - seizing drugs or money and then not registering them as evidence but instead taking themselves - is almost impossible to quantify, since it happens under strong omerta.
The belief in the prevalence of so-called "cancel culture" is one that belongs squarely on one side of this debate, and asking HN moderators to explicitly come down on that side is not asking for balance, it's asking for them to take your side.

The normal flagging process on HN takes down a lot of posts on both "sides", purely by virtue of them being strongly political at all.
LinkedIn has value as a rolodex and should've stopped at that. The social media features are, just like any mainstream social network, a cesspool.

If you want to use LinkedIn and keep your sanity, I suggest disabling all notifications except the email notifications for new messages and then don't log back in unless you get an e-mail and you need to respond to that person.
And HIV -> AIDS of course.
Thanks Microsoft for helping me to decide that I will never even going to use Windows again.

Firstly, that attack is conentious because it calls all trans people "sick fucks". That isn't really a conversation topic.

Also, I keep hearing about "detransitioning", but can't find any evidence it is actually significantly growing -- numers who regret getting surgery seem to sit around, or below, 1%.
My experience, and of a few people around me in different professions and experience levels shows differently.

Of course you could do without Linkedin, but it makes your next job search much easier if you keep your profile updated.
They do that. Articles are often locked to a certain level (e.g. closed for edits from new users, or even all users) for a certain period of time if they relate to a controversial topic or unfolding news event.
>>Becoming a machine also meant having relationships with machines, using physical devices as a way of filling the uncomfortable, sometimes unbearable space between self and world

Sounds like kids these days.

The idea of connecting with people who have inhabited the same lonely space before you via their work, makes me wonder, is it so important to be in the same city?
That's because shareholders let them off the hook.

The board represents the members (shareholders) of the company, they are responsible to them for the performance of their company, which reflects the investment in the equity.

The CEO is an employee of the company. The power to set strategy may be delegated to him by the board, but the board is still responsible for it.

Public companies have additional responsibilities of the board because they are also responsible to comply with the market's rules and government regulation (eg SEC regulations) that are stricter for public companies than private.
thanks!

I had lots of ideas but chose to keep it simple enough to un-break brute force. Ideas: where letters are merged into one. Ones that appear to frequently (a,o,e are one letter) and/or rare ones (q is just a k). Ones that sit side by side on the keyboard (dootbell). Discard the order of the characters (so that "becuase" might just work) Typos that dont look like typos (1 is equal to l) and find ways to scale the solution to fit the texts or chunks thereof.
I would consider things like automatically searching Bing for typing anything into the Windows search bar a pretty annoying feature. Especially when 99% of the reason to use such a search is to find a local program or Windows setting to open.

Problem is with the 20.04 edition of Windows, there's no user friendly way to do turn that feature off.

Putting all of the privacy settings to the most restrictive values doesn't disable it, nor does turning off internet search in search in the policy editor. You have to dig around and create manually named registry keys. IMO that's unreasonable behavior.

But that makes you think there's likely dozens if not 100+ other things like that. I hope Windows tool makers don't stop uncovering these things.

I wonder if anyone will call out MS for having an option in the policy editor to disable internet search when using Windows search, while it doesn't actually disable it. What would the legal action be there? Maybe a GDPR violation since now the personal things I type into my computer are sent to Bing without my consent.

Aggressively unfollowing people that amplify meaningless posts is the key, just like with any other social network. You can block power users so no comments or likes of their posts from your network will show up in your feed. Unfortunately you cannot block companies, so any like or comment on a fake-company-posting-memes's post will result in unfollowing the person responsible directly, unless you know them personally and give them a free pass by just hiding the post this time.
Unsurprisingly, this doesn't seem to be a left vs. right issue but a far left vs. centre issue.

None of the edit suggestions or controversies were racist or biased. It is clear that ardent supporters of the BLM movement simply want to shape the historical record in the way they want to. And Wikipedia will probably side with them.

How is mentioning Floyd's past criminal record on his biographical page (not even on the "Killing of..." page) a detraction from his death? Are we just going to edit Wikipedia to remove anything that detracts from people we idolise? Wikipedia should present the facts (all of them) and that is it. If the facts detract, then maybe there's a reason for that. That doesn't change the fact that they are facts.
I've been trying to come up with scenarios where someone relying on that security would suffer worse from this revelation than merely enabling hardware clone manufacturing.

(Note that most of those cases are very far from where you would typically find an NRF52)

Decryption keys for "broadcast" style DRM schemes? Kind of bad, but usually those also have implementations on far more open hardware, it wouldn't be the weakest link.

A Yubikey-like second factor configured only for presence? When you can take a soldering iron to the device you might just as well keep the one you already have. It would only make a difference for elaborate attacks involving more than one copy of the destroyed original (e.g. sneaking a clone back to the original owner). I'd argue that it retains 98% of the security upside compared to not using a second factor and would still come ahead of many weaker second factors.

A Yubikey-like second factor configured to require on-device decryption of its keys? (e.g. built in PIN pad) Bad because the readout would enable unthrottled attemps, but still only terrible if the resulting key isn't throttled otherwise (e.g. bad for decrypting some offline storage).

An anti-tampering signature for content production, e.g. camera hardware confirming that a pictue is based on actual photons hitting a CCD? Bad, definitely.

An encapsulated root CA in its CEO's pocket? Someone will get fired, but it won't be the right person.

I'm sure that this list could be longer, but so far I don't see any overlap with the usual application domain of NRF52.
If they unlawfully put themselves in a situation where they felt compelled to return fire then they should be held accountable for whatever damage their bullets do just like any other person would be.

If my convenience store stickup goes sideways and the clerk gets shot I'm responsible. Cops should be held to the same standards as normal people.

We should also get rid of no-knocks but that's just whacking a particular mole. The root cause of the problems America has been having with police is that normal people do not get the same treatment under the law that police do.
Even that comparison is bad, because a large part of the problems you might have with a house are not because of a bad blue print, but because it wasn't built properly.
It is a personal account and an unusual move I guess. Try to reverse what you consider to be the cause and the effect here. The argument does not seem to be LinkedIn is usedless in all possible cases, but it has no value for the author that they cannot get otherwise.
One of the few achievements of which I am proud from my time with ${BIGCORP} was getting 'digital restrictions management' into a C-level deck.
Most of my best jobs came from LI leads, so I don't really get the point. I find LI to be a more open and just system than hiring a guy that knows a guy, or forcing people into slavery in open source.

It's not the hiring that is broken, but the tech industry itself. There is nothing that compares in how low a measurable value is priced in any other domain. It seems that the less you can put a price on something, the more people speculate that it is worth. There is probably some fancy economical law to follow, idk.
Apart from a return of the dreaded Win-style endless installer progress bar surely doing it on the host, once, wouldn't be a problem.
The "issue" would be squaring the result with notarization and bundle integrity, but that solves itself since it means Apple is already sitting on the (in this case bitcode) app whether it's in store or not.

But they'd probably use it as an incentive to drive stuff further towards the app store.
I agree that analogies and metaphors are always inaccurate and always misleading. And often pointless.

But:

> You don’t generally consider how a house will evolve over time. A house has a limited number of possible states

I don't believe either of these are true

> and a trivially low number of entrances and exits.

and I believe good software should strive to have a similarly low number

Obviously I'm nitpicking, but I don't believe buildings are necessarily worse than other terrible software analogies.
Which unfortunately didn't happen at HP with the phone hacking scandal.

The Chairman should have taken Patricia Dunn aside early on and told that the board had lost confidence in Her and some of the leadership team long before Patricia was forced out.
> And we could make companies do that. But that will just drive organisations and land owners to hide these sites exist in the first place.

That really hit home. Sometimes there really are no-win scenarios. Absolutely tragic that these sites are lost, but there's no practical solution to preserve them.
Is it possible that Apple could add the ARM cpu to be a co-processor alongside x86? Macbook Pro 16 then has an additional powerful processor that devs can target while remaining compatible with x86. Allows a 4-5 year cycle until x86 gets dropped completely.
Perhaps overly complicated and expensive to do this?
I can see small/light machines (Macbook/Macbook Air) would shift to ARM only.
