I think the amount of times the user is allowed to trip should be proportional to the intensity with which the user is going to use the tool. If the tripping enables advanced use, of course, which is not the case in your example.

First time use is completely different than prolonged use. Efficient use is not necessarily the same as ease of discovery. The first time I rode a bike, I fell off. Does that mean bikes are badly designed? I get the feeling most designers who make an effort only look at that first time use.

I get it, if the user comes around only once a month, your product should be super easy en intuitive. But if it is used daily, your product is a tool and is allowed to require skill to master. If the end result is better in some way. Either because it is more efficient, or because it takes time before one sees that there is actually more logic in that interface than you thought the first time you used it.

If you read the article, you'll find that the app itself doesn't even link to any content by default and you have to explicitly enter a data source yourself.

Also, I'd say referring to that app (however problematic it was, and I agree they did a terrible job building and deploying it) as a "vote manipulation app" is unnecessarily inflammatory.

> distributed via a test platform with the financial backing of former Clinton and Obama / recent Pete Buttigieg staffers
This implies that TestFlight has financial backing from those groups. Maybe that's just unclear wording, but interpreted as written the claim is unsupported by the provided source.

Assuming you meant to say the Iowa caucus app was supported by those former staffers, it should be clarified that the company who made the app also provided services to those campaigns. I wouldn't consider Shadow Inc. to be competent as a technology company, but it doesn't surprise me that Democrats would buy political tech from a company founded by people who worked on digital outreach for the most recent Democratic presidential campaign.
Show HN: A curation of SaaS resources for developers
Don’t Let Your Guard Down When It Comes to Compliance
I'm on the opposite side of this question. I've offered to explain motorcycle charging systems in terms anyone can understand. My thought is to use the water flow analogy. Voltage => pressure. Current => flow volume. Resistance => constrictions in the system (or things where the water does work.) Flow at one point in the system must match flow in other parts except for places where water can accumulate (battery => pressure tank.)

My biggest issue is how to depict this in a format that I can share over Skype without putting in 80 hours of work. I might go with a series of pencil drawings and scan them in.

Are any of the suggested materials particularly suitable for this kind of presentation? This is intended to be a 20 minute or so presentation so I'm really just providing highlights. Points I want to get across include:

- Resistance anywhere in the circuit will cause problems. (e.g. bad ground connection.)

- Bad starting can be the result of a insufficient battery charge.

- Bad starting can be the result of high battery internal resistance.

- Bad starting can be the result of high resistance in the circuit.

- Operating with loads (e.g auxiliary lights and heated vest) that draw slightly more power than the charging system delivers can work for hours until the battery is discharged and the charging system no longer supports the loads. (DAMHIK!)

Thanks!

That the quote is taken out of context, I guess. Other factors that you've mentioned don't change the fact.

I was referring to what appears to be the gateways. If the smaller one is the CPE I'd be curious to see where the motor is, and how it will be prevented from weathering/failing.
DACA was also a Word document emailed to Linus, but it's now upstream.
This.

As a consumer it's extremely hard to find out what you need in a Privacy Policy, as it is simply too big of a document generally.

For companies its different as they should have someone payed to read that.

So what is needed is a standard way of conveying what data is being collected. And what is kept in-company, and what is shared/sold. Just like the ingredients in a package, a simple Table.
I think this is partially because the UK government was cleansed of any moderates and is now made up of ultra conservative Brexit supporters. Any cooperation with other EU nations on COVID-19 would be rejected as unpatriotic.
Hey HN,
I've been learning a lot about SaaS & bootstrapped businesses in the past year, and I've collected a long list of resources, stories, links, and advice about this topic, coming from the greatest minds in the game and people who've reached their goal of building a profitable business by themselves. Many of them are active HN users, so this community has a special place for me.

Today I've decided to publish this curation as an open GitHub repo, and I hope someone here will find it useful. I'm sharing it because it would've been a godsend for me one year ago.

By the way, no affiliate/tracking/referral links or any of that.
Yes, in a sense. It is not overly unusual for a key media persona to join a small publishers’ board.
it's a fantastic reference book - not great for learning the fundamentals
It's for reifying brittle engineering - if you're doing well without it, you're already at a level above it.
I can't understand the pandemonium. It's an e-mail account. You likely already have several.
Keep them too stressed out and busy with work that they don't have the time and energy to really look for something new and grind dozens of LeetCode problems to get them through the grueling technical interview gauntlet? Seems to be working with my company to keep me there, at least.
Indeed, pay me $1m a day and I'll stare at a wall for you.

Probably wouldn't do it for long, the first day would be amazing - that buys a great house. The rest of the week and I'm set for a very comfortable retirement.
This is awesome will definitely make my life easier and less manual cleaning data
I'm struggling to think of a way in which a business, operating in good faith, would benefit from its customers not knowing what they signed up for. In fact I think it's tautological that they wouldn't.

Good regulation won't guarantee that a privacy-friendly business will succeed, but at least they could differentiate themselves as such, because the claims they make would mean something.
Is it possible to train yourself to not feel pain?
I changed jobs in the past year and only received a slight pay increase. For the first time in my engineering career, I really enjoy my job. There are a lot of factors but the thing that stands out the most is the senior leadership here. They actively seek to engage the entire organization in strategy and planning and are really working towards a more transparent and realistic process of growth and advancement. My experience previous to this had been leadership only paying lip service to these ideas at best. I am not sure what increase in compensation would be required for me to leave and I honestly hope I don't find out.
There still exists the problem of collecting the judgement.

How are you going to force a large company to pay if they are already ignoring you?
Yep. I'm a MechE and my pay is decent (not amazing) for the area but I was fine with it due to a lot of other factors.

In the last year or so, my company has had a culture shift leading to down-to-the minute micromanagement and I've lost all autonomy - every decision requires approval of multiple managers. There's no realistic engineering salary they could pay me to continue putting up with this and I can't get out quick enough. Covid has made that a bit tough though.

“The youngest self-made Millionaire”
100% agree with this article, but would also caution against any kind of generalization. Different people want different things.

For the first ~7-10 years of my career I strongly believed that everything was about salary. I picked jobs solely based on the comp package, and the work I did was motivated by bonuses and promotions. I'm sure that's still the case for a large chunk of engineers, but for me, with more experience under my belt, I now think more and more about stuff like fulfillment, ownership, real world impact of my work etc.
When I worked somewhere 100% for the money, my motivation declined and I ended up in such a rut I was one of the worst performers on the team.

Compensation is important but if they are golden handcuffs, your organization (and employee) will suffer.

Deliberate semantics were defined for this as part of AtomPub, https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5023#section-10.1 (before that, it made sense that it would mean this because of the relations registry, but nothing had been defined). It’s clearly applicable to Atom syndication in general, but it’s definitely more useful to AtomPub. I have no idea how wide client support is.
The trick to retaining engineers, besides paying them fairly, is to hire good managers that understand engineering. A huge component of workplace satisfaction can be traced back to how much an employee likes their boss.
Pay is not everything. But it also depends on the engineer as well. I've taken pay cuts to work on interesting and engaging work in the past. But then again my lifestyle is pretty simple and minimalistic and for me the trade-off was worth it.
Maybe. I think one problem is the idea of racism itself, which has at least three meanings:

intent (i.e. if you want to genocide [race], you're a racist),

facts/beliefs (you could imagine someone with no hatred or ill-intent who believed things about e.g. population statistics- you might call those beliefs racist even if there was no 'racist intent' behind them)

And outcomes (something ends up disproportionately impacting one racial group, not necessarily with any racial animus involved at any point. You might call this structual racism).

If we had different words for these three things, I think it would make it a lot easier for people to agree to get stuff done. As it is, they all get mixed up- and an approach that assumes racism no.1 won't help 2 or 3, or might exarcerbate things. If I had to guess, I'd say a lot more of what's going on is 3 than 1, but I could be wrong.

(And calling 3 'structural racism' probably won't do the job, because it's that's too easily conflatable with 1, so a lot of people won't support it.)

I don't know. I'm personally interested to see what'll happen if more police precints get abandoned/burned down, and people set up more anarchist/warlord-controlled areas across the U.S.
> Here, the goal is to prevent phishers, fraudsters, scammers, spammers, catfish, impersonators, malware spreaders, etc. from running amok in a somewhat unprecedented way by tricking users en masse into thinking they're really receiving photos/videos in real-time, using automated tooling. My understanding is this heavy degree of obfuscation (combined with other anti-tampering tactics) has gone a very long way to mitigate a huge amount of abuse.

Which is STILL in the service of trying to expose users to ads and sponsored content.

I find it sad that people in our industry are so easily distracted by the technical challenge du jour without looking at the bigger picture of what their work is in service of, which was OP's point.
Except for the hidpi inconsistency across apps and window managers
It's probably only "50% about pay" where pay is fairly competitive. For many (of course not all), 25-50% lower comp is going to be a tough sell even if the company is at the top of "great places to work" lists.
Only for a limited amount of time.
Question is, can this be faked?

What we're saying is that coders are often willing to pay for "a seat at the table". But maybe management can sell them a placebo.

It's not clear-cut that management ignoring coders will always turn out for the worse, even though management that always ignores coders probably has, historically. Maybe sometimes their voice matters and sometimes not.
The equivalent default stores in other systems charge the same.
Google's services is 30% as well, and Steam is 30% as well.
So it's "market price" for Native Store.
Microtica (https://microtica.com).

You can create separate environments with one or multiple Kubernetes clusters. You can create a Kubernetes infrastructure for AWS in 15mins from the UI and you can also connect your existing Kubernetes cluster.

Deployment of services and monitoring through integrated dashboard, you can view and monitor deployments, pod logs etc.

There is no vendor lock-in, all resources created on your AWS account are done in a cloud-native way so you can continue operate the infrastructure without Microtica if you would like to do so.

Support for Kubernetes deployments targeting differently labeled cloud environments is in our roadmap and will be available soon.
IMO, the only reason above-market pay doesn't raise retention as much as people want is that it's possible to have above-market pay and a job people enjoy doing.

And on the other hand, you can offer enough above-market and people will do any job, as evidenced by the other thread I saw yesterday where people were making crazy salaries to implement unethical, deceptive practices against their users.
> operating in good faith

Nowadays this is a very big "if".
* functional requirements - great pay

* non-functional requirements - great culture.

"great" - is a variable here. People define it to their own understanding and advantage.
Virtue and Vice of the Fast-Food Industry
Money alone doesn't keep many problem solvers around.

Problem solving is as important as the compensation.

A great environment to solve problems, and to be able to work with other smart, conscientious people, while pursuing new levels of mastery is a really good sell.

People who are driven solely, or primarily by money can't be paid enough and will on that mindset, tend to move on.

Ask HN: Arguments against 90 day exercise window?
Hi HN, longtime lurker.

I was fortunate enough to join a startup 2.5 years ago that has done quite well in that time (roughly 15x the number of employees now, 20x valuation). While I'm certainly not looking to leave, I've done the math and realized there's no way I can afford to exercise my options. I think it'd be ~400k at this point to exercise, including some early-exercising.

The way I see it, there are 3 options.

1. Try to convince the cofounders to give me a longer post-termination exercise window

2. Ignore the problem until I want to leave, or there's a liquidity event

3. Try to arrange a loan using a platform like Quid.

I'm curious if others on HN have faced this, and what they ended up choosing. And if you were successful in extending your exercise window, how did you manage that?

First time posting, so hopefully I did this right. Cheers.

I'm originally from Europe. I do like that I can negotiate better terms than the market, but I also acknowledge that this is not better system for everyone.

The benefit of the US system is that higher rents create more incentive to produce more supply. It sometimes breaks down, like it did in SF, but in DTLA this worked well. Developers smelled opportunity, build bunch of new apartment buildings and we were able to lower our rent by 35% just within 14 months.

If the market was regulated, then no new supply would be produced as there is no incentive to do so.
I think there is a big difference between being business-driven and lack of users.
> The creation of DACA provided such a justification

Did the Court have an opinion on this in this ruling? I thought it didn't, in which case the creation of DACA has never been held to this "arbitrary and capricious" standard.
The DOE sets policies for the grid, however, and the only way coal could have survived is massive amounts of subsidies for burning coal, since it is no longer an economical way to generate electricity.

Rick Perry met with coal execs, and ended up proposing extremely bone-headed rules for require long certain amounts of stored fuel (or something)which he thought would benefit coal. However the whole ordeal was too poorly defined to go forward. Fortunately, as it would have raised electricity prices for the benefit of more COPD deaths in the US.
I love the logo of the knight on the horse stabbing the dog sized covid virus.
So, this looks interesting. Rather than a real new linter, Github is proposing a tool that runs against a number of common linting standards with a single shared standard library.

Perhaps it would have been better pitched a Lint-runner for CI jobs rather than a real linter.
>The most obvious fact is that Mr. Durov is not walking with a hole in his head, as a double digit portion of anybody who had balls to be audacious about their opposition.

I think you are talking about Clinton Foundation, aren't you? A joke, of course.

Can you help me to access statistics from which you inferred "double digit portion"?

Not that I am pro-Russian-government, I am not. I just sense here something that is not completely right with my view of the world and I want to get better in that regard.
I was hoping the whole song/audio was generated. Looks more like fragments of existing nirvana lyrics re-arranged into a semi-coherent ordering. I recognize almost all the lyrics from existing songs.
I didn't like this as much as some other AI songs, notably Metallica [1].
It seems this model wasn't trained long enough as this song is the In Bloom/Breed riff with some lyrics and the general structure of Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Its subtle.

> Duke was bound by the Attorney General’s determination that DACA is illegal. [...] The Attorney General concluded that the legal defects in DACA mirrored those that the courts had recognized in DAPA. The Fifth Circuit [...] found that DAPA violated the INA because it extended eligibility for benefits to a class of unauthorized aliens. But the defining feature of DAPA (and DACA) is DHS’s decision to defer removal, and the Fifth Circuit carefully distinguished that forbearance component from the associated benefits eligibility. Eliminating benefits eligibility while continuing forbearance thus remained squarely within Duke’s discretion. Yet, rather than addressing forbearance in her decision, Duke treated the Attorney General’s conclusion regarding the illegality of benefits as sufficient to rescind both benefits and forbearance, without explanation. That reasoning repeated the error in Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association of the United States, Inc. v. State Farm— treating a rationale that applied to only part of a policy as sufficient to rescind the entire policy.

In short, even if you take the Trump administration's rationale at face value, the only portion of DACA which has been determined to be illegal by either a court or the administration was the extension of SS & Medicare benefits to illegal aliens. The "deferred action" part of DACA has never been considered illegal.
Alex Honnold has some great advice on risk mitigation and erros as well. For a guy who get's promoted as a huge risk taker it's just not really true when he explains what goes into a big wall solo. For example he stated that if he could only do one type of climbing it would be typical sport climbing so he could actually take chances and work right at the point of failure; not where you want to be in the middle of a free solo.
Canada does not make any advancements in helicopter design, and unfortunately, may not be contributing to aircraft design anymore if the Bombardier deal goes the way it does.

'Assembling' aircraft and cars for other nations who are doing all the real R&D, design, business and decision making is not 'advanced'.

Canada makes some decent games, but they're mostly driven by EA (USA) an UBisoft (France).

Canada has tons of AI talent coming out of Montreal, but no AI companies. That said, there are very few AI companies, mostly the winners are the FAANGS putting it to good use in their products.
"This will make everything on the screen slightly bigger, leaving you (slightly!) less screen estate. This is expected. My opinion is, a notebook is a constrained environment by definition. Extra 15% won’t magically turn it into a huge comfortable desktop. But at least you can enjoy that gorgeous screen and pixel-crisp fonts. Otherwise, why would you buy a retina screen at all?"

LOL

Has the author considered that maybe perhaps some people prefer more screen space and less "pixel crisp fonts"?
This makes a lot of sense. Providing some kind of categorized/easily digestible format for the policy to fit into.

For a few days. My experience is that high pay will A) keep bad people around for much, much longer and B) keep good people around until they get too fed up with the bad people.

This is part of why stock options are so valuable to organizations as an incentive: the retention power of high pay without the calculus of “do I have enough?” from liquid compensation
Along with a book (lots of good recommendations to choose from here), I recommend getting yourself some basic tools for practical experimentation: breadboard, multimeter (even a cheap Chinesium model will be fine for low voltage DC work), an oscilloscope (entry level DSO models from Chinese OEMs such as Siglent and Rigol can be had very affordably), a bench power supply (Siglent and Rigol also offer these), and some components (Joe Knows kits that are sold on Amazon are a great way to stock up on decent quality resistors, capacitors, and semiconductors to help you get to building circuits).

If you get to wanting to experiment with faster circuits, you can ditch breadboards and their parasitics for Manhattan style construction[1] and be able to build _much_ faster circuits with better success. Or you can fall down another rabbit hole, learning how to design your own PCBs. With PCB services becoming mainstream nowadays, you can learn a tool such as KiCad (free software) and send out your gerbers to be manufactured for cheap.
