As you’ve responded here and elsewhere, calling an argument “hollow” is not a substantive disagreement.

It seems any argument that you don’t already agree with (basically only your exact position) is classified this way.

The rest of your comment is basically incoherent, and the parts that do make sense are obviously wrong. It’s also a willful misinterpretation of my position.

People were flayed before the 21st century. Acknowledging the issues with encryption is a critical requirement in making an effective defense of it. I am not arguing against encryption.

If this is an issue you actually care about (which it sounds like it is), learning how to build consensus and honestly consider the positions of others would be a valuable skill to develop.

As it stands you’re doing more harm to the pro-encryption position (which is also my position) with how you’re attempting to defend it.
> Don't you have sociology classes or political education in school?

yes, I've had an overly technical education but I fail to see how that's relevant.

> I just looked up the word to make sure

I feel like you misread my argument. "seems to think" means that I don't agree with him. Some people, including the person that this thread-tree is about (in my opinion) use integration when they mean cultural erasure. (aka assimilation)

if people speaking/dressing differently in a train implies that they are not integrated (according to him). Than integration (according to him) implies that people do not speak/dress differently which I see as cultural erasure.

And from my own experience, I've been told by a Turkish friend that he received cold stares and was yelled at for speaking Turkish with his daughter in public transportation (out of concern for her integration). Although, it's a common technique for each parent to speak a single language when you want to raise a bilingual child.

and honestly, it's not that novel of an idea:

- "In fact, integration has become a code word in some circles for intolerance and discrimination" - The Emerging Monoculture: Assimilation and the "model Minority"
De William E et al

- 'the older völkish notion of German national identity lurks behind calls for acculturation as a condition for social acceptance.In contemporary Germany, "integration" is a codeword for cultural assimilation,
with a strong emphasis on learning the majority language and history.' - From the Bonn to the Berlin Republic: Germany at the Twentieth Anniversary of Unification. Jeffrey J. Anderson. Eric Langenbacher.

Less autonomy also means less responsibility which affects growth in a bad way, but there is a small bright side to this, it reduces the cognitive workload and one can have leftover energy for side projects and hobbies. For the ones who have absolutely no taste to bureaucracy/red tape/stupid hierarchies of command, this could be soul sucking though

85% of people not showing up for court does not mean that 85% of people would win immediately upon showing up. As my examples demonstrate, merely showing up can be the first step in a very lengthy and expensive process.

If I go see a lawyer and they tell me "it'll take years, you'll get back only some of the money, and most of it will go to paying me", I'd skip court too.

I'm not sure where that narrative comes from. I certainly haven't seen any evidence for British response blindly following an influenza playbook. The closest I've seen was journalists speculating on twitter, but that's not an evidence. Neither is the fact that the UK was preparing for an influenza pandemic.

Have a look at https://www.bluezones.com/ which is a kind of organization that came from the study of these "Blue Zones" around the world, per article's mention.

There are a handful of key principles/characteristics that make it so. Here's a nice overview as per the wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Zone#Characteristics

This also explains why, for example, countries that are primarily oriented around agricultural lifestyles tend to exhibit "older than usual" ages. It isn't uncommon for one household to span three (or more!) generations. The listed characteristics and what people in these countries and lifestyles tend to do have very good overlaps.
Let's be honest the real reason to use Telegram wasn't security, I mean whenever the topic comes up here moxie (or his advocates) pops up and tells us it's trash and we should all use signal instead.

The real reason to use telegram is that it's miles away the best messenging program out there. It's as user friendly as whatsapp while having completely seamless desktop/mobile integration (something whatsapp and signal have failed to do), it only requires a phone number for the initial signup, and generally speaking it has all sorts of cool features and less bullshit than alternatives.

Then there are the little things - you can create multiple accounts and switch seamlessly, you can delete whatever message from whomever for everyone without leaving a trace (if it bothers you just switch to secret chats), all links are listed in each convo, you have pretty much unlimited and unrestricted cloud storage, etc.

Then you have all the gravy like cool tools for groupchat admin, channels, and bots of course. You can order a taxi or search up a book on scihub (bypassing countrywide blocking) with telegram. You can even do bizarre stuff like discover people around you or verify your identity on a service with telegram.

Yeah my texts are probably being read by the FSB. So what? Better that than the NSA, frankly. If I really want secrecy I'll use Tor or Signal.
Ah good point. Yes, I guess they could have done that with little cost.

Agreed. I think what happens for many of us is that when we're first out of college we just need money more than most other things to get our life in order (ex. buy a house/condo, kickstart retirement savings, a car in some cases, start a family, etc). So, we'll spend a lot of effort increasing our salary as quickly as possible to get to an income where we can afford to buy and sustain those things.

Most "things" are not fulfilling however. So, once our income satisfies all of those wants, then we feel more comfortable. When our income far exceeds our basic needs, we have the luxury to work (or hobby work) for things beyond paying the bills... fulfillment, positive change for self/family/community/world, achieving non-monetary goals, health, etc.

CIA Failed to Defend Against Theft of Secrets by Insider, Report Says
Because he has a history of very poor decisions regarding his public statements. For example, I think that someone supporting civil liberties shouldn't be wearing Fidel Castro T-shirts. His opposition to the Betsy Ross flag, and using his leverage with Nike to cancel a shoe themed with it, was asinine.

There are actual, serious and thoughtful civil liberties activists in America, including those who are working to overcome the challenges faced by black Americans. They don't get nearly as much attention as Colin Kaepernick because they can't throw three touchdowns and rush for 100 yards in the same game.
Yay for (some) Perl support!

The Perl validation seems to be restricted to "compile with warnings", despite "perlcritic" being now almost 15 years old, predating both some other linters' and even some other languages' very existence.

I'll try to see how feasible it'd be to add it as a ("the"?) Perl linter to be used as using just the compilation step to infer everything's fine doesn't really satisfy the role a linter is meant to have.
Not particularly, I think. It's just bundling a ton of existing linters, not competing with them. What is it competing with?
It was also an inside joke in Mad Magazine. I had initially thought it was Yiddish or a Don Martinism.
This is demonstrably incorrect if you look at some of the highest paying companies in SV. FAANG are of course well known for paying way way above what is necessary to satisfy "everyone's material needs and desires", and yet they are well known for still being ruthless political cultures and backstabbing.

Execs might be congenial because at that level, congenial is just how you play the game. It's still cutthroat, but overt backstabbing doesn't get you very far in a tight knit group of execs. But in other groups like a team of devs, IME high pay just attracts the kind of person who wants even higher pay and will do whatever it takes to get it.

Furthermore, a user typically does not have access to the privacy policy until after they have purchased a product. If they disagree with a policy, they have limited recourse towards obtaining a refund. Products that do offer a refund have policies that take almost 30 days to get one.

In this fully connected world, it's almost criminal that a purchase is processed in seconds whereas a refund takes 30 days. It's time that WAS criminal. It's a contract right? Well, all contracts are required to comply with a cooling off period (by law), ranging anywhere from 3 days to two weeks depending on type of contract and jurisdiction. It's time for the legal system to enforce these laws for software contracts.

If I don't like an app within 3 days after purchase, I should have access to a prominently visible button to return it. If I click on it, the app should promptly issue a refund to my credit card (there's no reason why this can't be immediate) and delete the app from my device. Such a button should be mandated by law regardless of platform or application. But of course, the lawyers and lawmakers work for the rich, not the middle-class or poor.
Be careful though. For example, I don't really care that much about money, but I do care very strongly about fairness. So if you try to cheat me by paying me unfairly (for example, compared to coworkers), even if I would be happy with the money all things considered, I could be unhappy just because you're being unfair.

True. Cost of living has spiked a lot in tech hubs, too, but devs are usually on the upper tier of the income curve.
>'I Don't Live in a World Where Fairness is an Option'

This sums it up perfectly. So many times I am asked what I think of all this as a black person in tech. I don't think anything of it. It simply is how things are. You can either live with that chip on your shoulder, or learn the skills to navigate life with the cards you were dealt and deal with it. There is no other option, and how you feel about it is irrelevant. Some people are born with physical disabilities or mental handicaps. It's no different. Should we live in a world without racism? Of course. But we should also live in a world without war, poverty, and disease as well. It's a part of the human condition.

Indeed! "Autonomy, mastery, and purpose" in terms of dev opportunities: mastery is somewhat common, autonomy is rare, and purpose is ultra rare.

I have straight-up told managers that I'd be willing to take a pay cut in exchange for more autonomy. Haven't found a taker yet :)

It is so frustrating to repeatedly demonstrate value, endlessly repeat the story about how "gmail was the result of 20% time", yet be forever told "nah, we just need you to stick to grinding tickets".

I agree better tools have the potential to make us more productive. I also think some nerd/hacker types tend to overrate the importance of their tools and gadgets, because this stuff serves as a proxy for actual talent and it's easier to show off and compare (These are not my words, someone else said it elsewhere in this thread, but once I read it, it really clicked with me).

It's one thing to say "I'm more productive with $GADGET". It's another, different thing to say "we weren't productive before $GADGET". I assure some of the old hackers, back in the days when they coded on a PDP-11 (or an Apple II, or whatever) where more productive than me and -- without knowing you -- I'm willing to bet they could be more productive than you. In my opinion the mindset that old tech wasn't "good enough", that leads people to claim "we weren't productive before" in absolute terms, is really pernicious and unhealthy.

Mind you, I'm not saying all gadgets are equal. Faster CPUs to me are obviously more useful than a larger screen. Both are nice, but one is more important than the other.

However, the most important peripheral, the one that makes the most impact on productivity: my brain. And I can't show it off as easily as a brand new macbook or whatever.
Yeah, that's one thing most people don't understand about Obama: he may have issued a lot of executive orders, but his administration spent a considerable amount of time on making sure the provisions and programs created by those orders were extensive and thorough.

SCOTUS is basically saying, "nope, you can't just declare your predecessor's work illegal and null and void and call it a day, you need to actually provide good reasons for why each part is illegal and should be undone."
Oh : acting in your best interests is "telling", so?

Americans have some weird identity hangups.

I have what is now called "invisible disability". I wonder how I'd feel if my kind had some visible mark in their face. Would I feel awkward being the only QWERTY in the room? Would I feel especially succesful?

As it stands now I kind of feel the latter. It's a little secret, I have this disadvantage at the starting point of the race where the referee shoots his little gun at the sky, and yet here I am in the peloton with all the non-disadvantaged guys.

Of course, maybe if everyone knew I'd be hyper-aware of the stereotypes that will inevitably play a part in the mental models of people with the best intentions. But are wealthy Americans really going for stereotypes when they see a fellow wealthy black person?

I know that the world of "invisible disability" activism is a self-defeating whirlpool of victimization.

So based on the comments, I found out about the following approaches:

- Feature flags

- Configuration options / software product lines

(see a recently published article w.r.t. the difference [1])

- One HN comment was about plugins, but when I Google *"feature flags" vs "plugins" I'm not finding much. I have the feeling that hooks/plugin systems are part of the feature flags idea (not sure about this).

> The creation of DACA provided such a justification, the repeal didn't.

I quoted this below from Justice Clarence Thomas, but it also directly responds to your point;

> DHS created DACA during the Obama administration without any statutory authorization and without going through the requisite rulemaking process. As a result, the program was unlawful from its inception.

That’s from the dissent. The majority ignored this like it doesn’t matter. Rules for thee but not for me.

At those levels, you're probably talking about at least some stock-based comp and that's harder to factor in.

But that aside, a lot of people would care less about the delta between $400K and $600K than the delta between $50K and $75K.
Actually you possibly could. Just because you think that's what NYC is like doesn't mean it's actually that way. I won't comment on Sf since I've never lived there.
I find the reasoning of this article pretty obnoxious to be honest.

They start off with a valid argument, that if you treat engineers better than everyone else it creates resentment in other parts of the company and that makes sense.

If that weren’t enough, all of this “special treatment” towards engineers can create resentment throughout the rest of the company. Such negativity hurts performance and retention in other business units where employees might feel that they’re treated unfairly.

I've actually experienced this myself as the new guy, even within the engineering department. Then 5 paragraphs later this is what they write:

Maybe instead of offering free lunches on Fridays, you can provide funding to attend Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC, once that’s hosted in real life again) or a Coursera subscription. If you’re in the mobile apps space, you might offer to buy the newest iPhone or Android device for your engineers annually on a “yours to keep” basis.

I'm sorry for the negativity, I just don't think I can trust the judgement of the author on this issue after reading that.
Also as a mobile developer, shouldn't you be aiming for your app to perform well on low to midrange devices first, thus targeting the largest ammount of potential users? If you're styling for the iphone x/11 notch you're gonna be doing that in the simulator first regardless.
