I recall that China owns most of the latest patents on rare earth refinements. This should be obvious considering they are the most active in its refinement process.

Now, the irony is that if American companies want to start rare earth refining, then they must pay China for the use of those refinement patents.

Oh the irony.

Unless some American senator want to invalidate all of China’s patents on grounds of National Security. Oh the hypocrisy.

Ask HN: Regreting Not Doing a Startup
Hey, to anyone late in their career who wanted to start a business but didn’t do it, do you regret it? Why?
To be honest, if you code professionally, you probably have all those linters installed already (probably directly in you IDE). The value is to have them in the github actions.
This question would be much easier to answer if salary transparency from employers was the norm, or even required.

If every job listing on Indeed had a salary/compensation range, it would be very straightforward to see what the going rate is for that particular skillset, and it would push employers to be competitive on salary.

> If Google can't keep things quiet, where can I find a rough list of factors DoubleClick uses in order to track users?

Do you mean like, categories into which it divides users (age, gender, interest), in which case a reasonable answer is https://adssettings.google.com/ or do you mean what request attributes it uses to make these determinations initially and tie them to particular users? In which case the answer is primarily cookies: https://policies.google.com/technologies/types?hl=en-US.

You're asking me to prove a negative, and you're starting from the assumption that Google must be lying.

As others have mentioned, Radford[1] is one company that sells that sort of data. Many providers of HR management and payroll systems also have secondary revenue streams by repackaging that data for uses like that. This[2] is one offered by ADP, one of the largest payroll providers in the US.

As a manager, one way to get yourself some wiggle room in the situation you mentioned is using that strict policy against them. Request as detailed a list of roles and compensation bands as possible[2], then creatively interpret the job duties such that you can justify opening the requisition with whatever role provides the most favorable "70th percentile" salary band to attract the talent you want to bring in.

Success varies between companies, but it's not uncommon for larger companies to have latent roles/titles set up in the system that are rarely used, but exist in the benchmark data and have far more favorable salary bands than the roles you'd typically use for your reqs. Or if you can get the full benchmark data itself, you can look through it all and try to get HR to add a net new one to the system based on what you find.

Judicial estoppel is a lot broader than the 3 paragraph Wikipedia page. It applies to the same court case, to separate court cases, and to actions occurring outside of a courtroom that would affect a court case if such actions have the effect of contradicting a legal position a party is taking in court.

> They only exist to shield the service provider from liabilities. In that case privacy policies serve no valid consumer facing function why bother the consumer with them in the first place?

Because the consumers bother the companies with lawsuits if they aren't "forced" "to read" the privacy policy. The only way you can get away from the requirement to display these policies prominently is if you make it generally illegal to sue over anything disclosed in the privacy policy, even if it's not prominently displayed. Or, as you say, make the kinds of things people like to sue for actually illegal, so there will be nothing to disclose.

This is great! But it is minified and there is no link to source. Why?
Because new employees are an unknown quantity and we have to be competitive to the market.

Promise chains are usually totally fine and readable, it's when callbacks are passed around without promises or bad abstractions occur that async code is problematic.

More often than not I would not touch code written with promises because it doesn't matter anyways since code using it can still use async/await + sometimes it makes some patterns easier to deal with (f.e. using a dependency written with callbacks and calling resolve from within the callback function)
To be honest this seems perfectly reasonable. I think we should pass on costs to the consumer more often.

In North America you can make up to 5% back on purchases by using credit card. This is because the store pays a fee. I don't see why this shouldn't be paid by the consumer. This is effectively overcharging cash customers for the availability of a service that they don't use.

I think the long term effects would be better in both cases if the fee was visible like Google Music is doing.

Discussion in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23563997 seemed to center around staying vs. switching jobs as a Software Engineer. So, let's hear it.

I remember a bug report that had the instructions meticulously written out to reproduce. Only, it didn't reproduce the issue. Luckily I also had a video, and when I watched it, it all made sense (well, why I couldn't reproduce it, the bug was ridiculous and required going through a very specific path to get the state juuuust right). You had to click the "icon" in the top left corner to eventually trigger the bug, not "go back to the app home page" via the back button like what I was doing.
Ahh yes, the good ol' "how you dress", "how you carry yourself", "your personal hygiene", "how you talk" or one of the other hundred responses I get from people immediately when I talk about the unfair treatment I've seen in my life.

So I doubt my suit and tie had anything to do with it.

> As a renter none of this is your problem.

Right now, during the pandemic, it's clear a landlord renting out multiple properties is in a terrible place. However, as eviction moratoriums start to lift, it's an open question to me as to who's living situation is more precarious. If you don't have the money to pay for housing, is living in a bank-owned property and trying to get mortgage deferral better or worse than living in someone's rental property and hoping they don't kick you out? Obviously the ideal case is to own your home free and clear, but many don't have that kind of money.
A lot of people may not care about this, but Google Analytics (and another 3rd party, hosted analytics platforms) are very important when trying to sell your website. Basically, it allows the buyer to access reliable historical data about your website which in turn makes it easier to arrive at a valuation.
> If the space is flat (Riemann curvature tensor = 0) how can it have constant negative curvature?

You are wrong. Locally our space is _hyperbolic_. So "flat" means "flat space-time" means "constant negative curvature", not "zero curvature". This is unlike the Riemannian case where "flat = zero curvature". You seem to be confusing the Riemannian and Lorentzian cases?

Interfering in internal conflicts is a time-honored tradition in international relations, though. Remember when the U.S. went into Korea? Vietnam? Remember France helping the American colonies win their revolution against England? Both the U.S. and USSR spent time in Afghanistan. Etc.

It's not about the TOS, it's about Apple taking the position that Google's requirement is anticompetitive in the Play Store but that Apple doing the same thing (actually worse, since Google allows third-party stores to be installed) in its own App Store is not.

That can be used against them in an antitrust proceeding...in US courts. I don't know how the EU handles judicial estoppel since AFAIK it's only a feature of the UK-originated common law system.
Writing "aqua" instead of "water" is not playing with the regulations, it is a regulation. In the US cosmetics have to be labelled using the International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients (INCI) and the INCI name for water is "aqua".
The problem with keeping your head down and getting things done without "raising a fuss" is that people will see that and assume racism isn't a serious problem.

If terms of use and privacy policies were as readable as nutrition labels, that would be a huge win.

I think arguing for the centralised option is a bit like arguing for breaking encryption. Sure, it would be lovely if you could give the police / anti-terror / anti-paedophile agencies access with a warrant and leave everyone else alone. The government will insist this is all they want. Except YOU CAN’T DO THAT! It’s not technically possible, however nice it might be. I think centralised apps were the same story. It would be great if you could do it (leaving privacy aside) but... it seems as though you can’t. Or they can’t.
Except that they are not neutral laws, and the application of them would force Apple to write and maintain code.

I actually am in favor of truly neutral laws, such as a law outlawing the locking of hardware to a particular OS. Laws that could be applied universally.

Probably not. But I suspect that they would argue that users can also listen on their iPhone or Mac which is enough to pass those terms.

I think a better example might be China.

Let's say you say something less than pleasant about China, or you like Winnie the Pooh.

China has already demonstrated the will and influence necessary to extend pressure on other companies, governments, and etc to deal with such things.... and you have far less recourse (if any) to deal with (or know about) it than most anything.

To expand, this functionality is of course not unique. There are numerous WASM runtimes out there, like wasmtime [1] or wasmer [2].

The interesting aspects of using Deno for this are:

a) v8 is bound to have a high quality wasm JIT and already has a sophisticated sandbox (although JS and the browser context probably bring in a lot of complexity that a pure WASM sandbox doesn't have to deal with)

b) easy interop with Javascript/Typescript code

c) Deno is experimenting with finer grained permission based sandboxing, so this fits well within the domain

Yes; I was answering the "give me a google term" question (which is a good question I fully support; it sure as heck isn't obvious the answer is "estoppel" to an English speaker), not "here's a full explanation of the concept" not-asked question. I'm not competent to give the latter.

Further edit: I was also showing this is a principle in common law. It seems to be pretty rare for a case to be resolved with an explicit resolution that cites the basic principle, and for every principle you can find any number of places where it seems to be violated. Instead, these general principles are just ambiently in the air at all times, so to speak. I wouldn't expect the court to explicitly rule "case dismissed because of judicial estoppel"; I would expect it is something that factors in to the general environment of the trial, rarely in the foreground but constantly in the background. You are going in with a weaker position arguing that entity X shouldn't be doing Y if you are yourself doing Y in a manner that a reasonable person would find comparable.

>That's correct. But the law does require them to run the stores in a way that does not violate antitrust laws. Apple is violating antitrust laws by forcing companies to use Apple Pay as a condition of using the App Store (i.e., leveraging dominant/monopolistic market position in one market in a non-competitive manner over another market).

The reason why everyone has to narrowly define the market to "Apple has monopoly power in the iOS market" is because they don't actually have monopoly power in smartphones and are mad about that fact. Defining markets are a major part of antitrust cases and just because a prosecutor or regulator is willing to do it doesn't mean it will actually work in court.
No, I'm sure hostile forces would never take advantage of such a situation /s

Maybe companies try to gamify growing inside the company, make it look like an achievement.

I've worked at a company where most engineers have been in the team for 2/3+ years, maybe more, some of them first and only job, so far.

Most of them were probably low-ish to medium salaries but they were happy with the team and the company. Had no plans to leave or try to argue for salary raises.

Keeping the deletion request itself may actually be necessary to ensure that after you delete the requested data it stays deleted.

I didn't save the link but at least one country's privacy regulator has said that when processing a deletion request you do not have to go through all your backups and remove the data from them too.

If you ever have to do a restore from those backups you will need to re-apply past deletion requests to the restored data before you start using it.

The US is the one refusing to sell to China here, how is China getting more ambitious or overconfident in the "chip war?"
Our offices are still open, just with 10% of the staff in them.

And the "£1.6m a month" view is the problem -- if you are spending £5k a month, or 40p a minute, on the costs of keeping an employee (probably more with the cost of office space), an extra £10 a month is neither here nor there. If it costs just 1 minute extra a day, you're losing.
Is a TSMC fab such an easy thing to even take? I expect it could be sabotaged easily by the US or Taiwan if there were an imminent threat of it being captured by PRC forces.

But all of realistic options listed entail the fatal political defeat of Taiwan, mostly through military action. Existential political threats usually end up as military conflicts, one way or another.

The only option that doesn't involve military action is the disinformation campaign, but that's pretty far fetched.
