I invest a little in the space so have seen some pitches at IndieBio, YCombinator, and talked with a bunch of companies. There are indeed some really great founders with biology background as you point out. But have been seeing more and more founders from software background. The enthusiasm is great, and people with software backgrounds have a ton to contribute! Just maybe shouldn’t be the CEO.

Fastmail as well. It minimizes attack surface on a client. If you send an email to bob@fastmail.com, fastmail's IP is recorded as accessing the image, not Bob's home IP address.
If you fly a plane, drive a car or operate a factory, your livelihood and often your life depends on your constantly paying attention to the output of the software and making constant course-correcting adjustments if necessary. And the software itself often has the ability to avoid fatal errors built in. You rely on it in a narrow domain because it is highly reliable within that domain. For example, your vehicle's cruise control will generally not suddenly brake and swerve off the road so you can relax your levels of concentration to some extent. If it were only 52% likely to be maintaining your velocity and heading from moment to moment, you wouldn't trust it for a second.

Facial recognition software doesn't have the level of reliability that control software for mechanical systems has. And if a mistake is made, the consequences to the LEO have been historically minimal. Shoot first and ask questions later has been deemed acceptable conduct, so why not implicitly trust in the software? If it's right and you kill a terrorist, you're a hero. If it's wrong and you kill a civilian, the US Supreme Court has stated, "Where the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a threat of serious physical harm, either to the officer or to others, it is not constitutionally unreasonable to prevent escape by using deadly force." The software provides probable cause, the subject's life is thereby forfeit. From the perspective of the officer, seems a no-brainer.

I can't think of a plausible way in which an unused global would affect compiler optimizations. Could you elaborate?
Partial differential equations are indeed interesting to artists - https://processing.org/
The relationship between a manager and his or her direct reports is often cited as the single biggest factor in determining job satisfaction. Try to make the relationship a good one, and hope that they do their part too.

With the benefit of hindsight in similar situations, I would suggest trying not to jump in too heavily on things (like taking sides in a technical debate, volunteering for specific projects, etc) until you understand your new manager's objectives and how they evaluate performance.

The corporate culture, and the reason why the new manager was brought in, both matter. If it's just because the old one moved on and a new one was hired, and there's a strong corporate culture, things will likely continue on pretty normally for you as a junior report. If they were brought on for another reason or it's a smaller company, you could be in for some dramatic changes.

In any case, read up on how to "manage up". Here's a few Harvard Business Review articles that should help, and then you can go from there:

https://hbr.org/2015/01/what-everyone-should-know-about-mana...

https://hbr.org/2014/12/how-to-handle-your-first-meeting-wit...

You should be able to tell within a few months how things are going - if you aren't happy or aren't getting positive feedback from the new manager, start job hunting. At 1-2 years into your first job you are likely at a good point to start looking for a new position with a nice bump in salary anyway.
Wow talk about using a straw man as a human shield. I can’t believe I’m saying it but I feel bad for the snowflakes these guys are hiding behind to get around the restrictions on junk apps.
I can't recommend 'Lepa sela lepo gore' (https://easterneuropeanmovies.com/comedy/pretty-village-pret...) enough. IMO, it is one of the best and most underrated war films of all time. A tense depiction of the Bosnian conflict with a healthy amount of dark comedy thrown in there.

All Amazon had to do was make it possible for people to filter for only items shipped and sold by Amazon.com and publicly announce they don't commingle inventory. If they did that, they would be a viable competitor to Costco, Best Buy, Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, etc.

It's not a hard problem to fix. It's an unprofitable problem to fix. See the tiny profit margins at the above listed actual retail companies. The juicy profit margins lie in being a platform and taking a cut of all sales.

If this identity is compromised, you could just get another ring. And you wouldn't need to give your real identity to apple.

Yes, but you write a short function/lambda for connecting them. Just like how you have sed/awk, or the many required flags to make any non-trivial operation "just work".

Consider the Hare
I tire of this, I have answered that multiple times. A hard limit is Stalinism,forced collectivisation via revolution. Noone who has ever called for that has survived politically. But you don't even need to go that far left: Kapernick was cancelled, his career is over. For criticising racist police violence. MLK was killed.

Trump has on multiple occasions used Nazi imagery, quotes and Slogans. "America First" was a Slogan used by American fashists https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2017/01/20/...

He only condemned David Duke after a media uproar.

If your standard for "white supremacists" is "openly admits to wanting to eradicate or enslave blacks and Jews, as was done before" and your standard for "far left" is "anyone who admits to some Marxist ideology" then you are measuring with two different sticks. And trying to make these two equivalent is dishonest.

The Marxists in power did so by democratic elections and without any shady business (I know of no ongoing investigations or impeachments at least). The barely shaded fashist in power still has investigations running, has deteriorated the democratic institutions in the US whenever he could and used rubber bullets and gas to (possibly illegally) clear a parc from protestors for a photo op. Which of these are more in line with authoritarianism?

But actually, don't bother to answer unless you will actually engage. If in the charitable case, for you any form of Marxist thought means hardcore left, then you are also dismissing all of social democracy as "far left", which is literally most of Europe. And in the most uncharitable case, you are wasting my time trying to create a false equivalence between democraty compatible socialist ideas and fashism, which is inherently nondemocratic. Have a nice day
The scenario you're speaking of hasn't happened on Android.

As a famous example of a popular app that eventually caved into Google's demands is Fortnite [1] and children are tech savvy (or at least motivated) enough to install from outside the app store. If Fortnite couldn't do it, then no, it's not easy to imagine TikTok doing it, especially given TikTok's market share is made of mobile users mostly, so no PC, no PS 4, no Xbox.

There are indeed alternative app stores from Samsung, Amazon, maybe others, however Google's Play absolutely dominates the Android ecosystem.

I'm an iOS user myself, however this whole reasoning is bullshit. The only reason Apple keeps such a tight control is because they want to keep that 30% commission on all sales, which is highway robbery. And I also suspect them of wanting to have enough reason and leverage to get rid of any app that threatens their own products.

Also the elephant in the room is the web.

I see grownups and children alike using the web successfully all the time. The web can be secure without a gatekeeper because browsers do a reasonable job at sandboxing. In fact it is the competitive nature of the market that makes it secure, consider that's how extensions and ad blockers happened (in the meantime I still don't have a browser on iOS capable of using uBlock Origin).

And yes the web has dark corners, yet we live with it just fine. Look, we're having this conversation on a web page that's not gated by Apple and we're still alive.
That's wild! What do you mean they were requesting it one character at a time? The URL itself? If so,how do you know that? Do you also own urls in that "character space" leading up to your URL?
> they're in most cases slow-paced, melancholic,

I wonder if national experience rubs off on movies. Many Hollywood movies have historically been optimistic because in general, a the American myth[0] has been pretty much optimistic and triumphalist (until recently, with People's History of the United States maybe the first popular work challenge the myth). Eastern Europe on the other hand has endured centuries of misery. As the war zone between Western Europe and the Ottoman Empire, as the war zone between Protestants and Catholics, as the war zone between the French and the Austrians, as the war zone between the Germans and Austrians, as the War zone between the Russians and Ottomans, as the war zone between the Germans and Russians, as the war zone between the Germans and Soviets, as the war zone between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. This suffering may have caused a certain melancholic outlook on life which is reflected in the movies.

0. The American myth goes that our forefathers came to a wilderness, built the colonies, fought and won against the super power of the age, marched West and conquered the rest of the continent, fought a war to ensure Union and free the slaves, industrialized, saved Europe twice from the Germans, became a super power, saved the world from Communism, landed a man on the moon, and is the shining city on a hill that people all over the world aspire to come to, and other countries envy. Like all myths, there is a lot that is not true, but a lot people in the US embrace this myth.

That's not acknowledging competitor technologies.

Apple does that too.
The biometric data never leaves your device. Your biometric is only used to unlock a private key stored in the secure enclave of your phone. This private key is then used to sign a server-sent challenge. The phone sends this signed challenge back to the server, where the server can validate it using the public key.

The public/private key gets generated by the phone upon first registration with the server.

Why would anyone call you weak, that's principled and it's the correct attitude. It's the people who don't think about the consequences of the products they help build that are the problem.
The problem your opposition sees is that:

It is a gross generalization and on an individual basis there is no way to check or know if that ______ person had equal opportunities or they didn’t. The problem with generalized appropriations but localized relief is that unfairness is vividly unbearable to those who are impacted. Imagine if race ______ gets 20 more points in an exam than the rest because they just happen to be a part of a minority. That would be infuriating to a lot of people who took that exam. It’s no fault of ours - this is a natural reaction of all humans. Now, if you’re not taking that exam, that might sound very benevolent. Life is like an exam in some ways. If everyone can take the exam, that would be great. Some can’t even take it, and that where the focus should be - eliminate poverty, inspire people to work hard, and enable people to go to college.

Imagine for a moment - you’re laid off, your family depends solely on you to survive. You’ve interviewed and you think you got the job only to realize that a minority person took it instead only because of the color of their skin. Would you be ok with that(assuming it’s true that there was no meritocracy involved)? This whole thing about improving the world goes into the toilet when your child is crying and you’re looking at your house being foreclosed.

If you’re well off, everything is rosy. You need to also consider other viewpoints.
Sample size n=1 but a friend of mine was in the top 3 of CS in Hong Kong university and thus got to go abroad for a year. He described that back home they had to learn hundreds of specific 'best solutions' by heart and then regurgitate them on the test. He loved that he got actual challenges and got to work independently at the UK university where we met.
Sounds like it’s working then? If an app asks me for location I personally go wtf no why do you need to know and most apps honestly don’t. I stick with apple for such a reason
All biometric processing happens locally. You aren't sending your fingerprint or face, they simply unlock the private key in the enclave.

> A mom-and-pop store located somewhere in Iowa

> A vendor selling USB cables out of China

Funny thing is, these two stereotypes tend to be less and less representative in my opinion.

Mom and pop store perhaps care less about what they sell on the internet ? Amazon was blocked in France during shelter in place and we had to go through other vendors. We got a surprising amount of mislabelled, slightly unfit (ex: wrong size, wrong color) or completely different stuff sent from small european vendors.

In comparison AliExpress is relatively accurate on descriptions, if color is random you know it at purchase, packaging was piss poor but we always got exactly what we ordered, and we had one issue for 40+ orders.

I would have better faith in a chinese vendor to send me the right USB cable than a Mom and Pop store to send the right size and color of pillow cases.

From the Romanian movies present there, I liked Aferim - https://easterneuropeanmovies.com/comedy/aferim - but only because it's a sobering look at our history; for non-romanians, it might not be so good. Filantropica (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0314067/) is also a great movie that illustrates well the post-revolution atmosphere in the country (and it's more likely to be universally-enjoyed than Aferim), but they don't have it on this site.
Switzerland releases its Covid app to the public
I am certainly happy about the steady pro-privacy process. I personally consider Apple full of shit until two features are released:

1. Contact sharing needs a complete overhaul. Some apps need to have access to my contacts. I get this. But they only need the name and the phone number. They don’t need addresses, birthdays and additional notes I put in m contacts.

Sure, I could have a separate contacts app with "meta data", but this would break the integration of Contacts in other Apple products.

2. Photos. It is either full access or no access. For example, I don’t trust WhatsApp. I share photos through WhatsApp by opening the Photos app, tap share, share via WhatsApp. This works okay.

But generally speaking: why can’t Contacts and Photos have the same sophisticated access control system like Health? Heck, make it optional for iPhone users, but at least offer it.
There are plenty of apps that can do this of you want it.

> There's no reason it has to be; there are plenty of places -- like Japan -- where houses are depreciating assets that expected to be torn down when the owners leave.

Japan has a declining population, which means that rural housing actually can have zero buyers for it, where the population is lower than the number of houses. One in seven buildings in Japan is actually vacant [0].

If their population was increasing faster than housing construction, then housing would actually increase in cost.

I would say the difference is that forums are about topics/discussion while social media is about people.

There is a difference if you use it to discuss your interests with like minded individuals or if you broadcast to an audience.
I think this is why social media mostly works in small groups or why many people on facebook still find groups with limited topics useful even if they hate the rest.

It is also my main gripe with things like SSB or the fediverse. They work much better than other social media, because they encourage smaller, more tight knight communities, but they are often still people focused, not discussion focused.
> How is it better than a ring with a chip you'd wear and use for auth?

Normal people would actually use it. And this is in fact not different. The phone IS the ring. You just unlock it using your biometrics (and of course, the data is NOT given to Apple)
