I suspect that you're on a completely different wavelength from the potential candidates for this job.

Remember,
"Python to create thousands of individual reports on thousands of rows of postgres data per report"

I think paying over, say, $75K is going to fail because anyone who can easily make more than that is going to consider themselves too good to do this stuff.

There's plenty of stuff that you can pay peanuts for, that you can't get a FAANG-level SWE to do for any price, so the answer to finding the right person is not always "pay more" or do any of the other things that people making $600K instead of $60K expect.
On the flip side, people used to argue for SSO as a privacy/security feature - rather than sharing your email and creating passwords with every site, just let a trusted intermediary like Google/Facebook handle those nasty details!
Don't read it, seriously this is an article written to lay claim that Dune is nothing but White Power and filled with bigotry if not outright racism. This whole article was written to show how the writer took offense and how obvious everyone else should. When you set out to be offended and want to score some free political points in this day of overwrought outrage it is infantile to arrive at such results.

It is clear he is cherry picking to arrive at these results. He ignores so much that was said in the books and ignores that Herbert never wrote the prequels that would have provided some reasons so he just went with the worst ones he could think of.

So issues, just bit off the top

Aristocrats; meaning to the writer white people only; being better breeding stock for the Sisterhood to manipulate. Well you latch on to people who are likely to survive and have wealth and you minimize the number of variables by putting together genetic stock and concentrate it in these families. Nothing is said of the Sisterhood breeding commoners into lines which they certainly would have.

Kynes being white and being better than everyone there. Herbert never really explained Kynes earning the position but going on what his son wrote it comes down to having the right message but mostly having the most damn luck to the point a highly spiritual group saw him as something else.

Paul, white god being superior to natives and waltzing into power. Paul was genetically engineered to be superior to EVERYONE. There is no simpler explanation for that. As for taking over, well that was mostly his mom recognizing how to exploit the Fremen using what the Sisterhood put in place over generations in myth. His mom and his to a point knew exactly how to manipulate these people.

Then of course, desert people cannot be such good fighters for Herbert's reason and are only so because of Islamophobia. When you have generation after generation watching their world pillaged and you live in harsh conditions you don't go dancing. BTW, nothing says you cannot be any skin color and be of that faith.

He finally gets bent out of shape with the Sisterhood by deciding that it was incredibly sexist to describe them as manipulators and the only magic of Dune ignoring the stuck in a rut Guild which has blind faith in math and generally male. If anything the Sisterhood is the supreme power in the universe, when things go right.
The way MIT persecuted Aaron is one reason why this alum no longer gives it money.
I may be mistaken, I'm not nearly knowledgeable enough about hardware to say this with full confidence, but wouldn't the very low power and heat requirements of their laptop-CPU-competitive chips suggest that they have a lot of room to increase performance simply by increasing clock speed?
I think this is pretty myopic. As someone who straddles both sides of this, the world is not that simple.

If the "business side" as you say isn't viable, then nothing matters. This has nothing to do with late stage capitalism...this is capitalism 101. If you're not hitting critical mass, you're dead.

This take also continuously misses that most people, and thus must customers, are willing to trade privacy/performance for convenience. If that's not your cuppa, then hopefully there's an alternative.
A friend of mine had the same problem. Got hired into a smaller startup that was willing to take a chance on him and is now a program director

Anyone who has read my recent HN posts would know that I proudly disable JavaScript in my browsers and have done so for several decades.

Now Privacy Analyzer has given me yet another excellent reason to continue doing so. Without JavaScript running Privacy Analyzer WON'T EVEN START let alone give you any useful information! These tests were done on both a PC and on an android smartphone with security plug-ins/add-ons disabled and the results (given the differences in technology) were essentially the same. Note: several browsers had no plug-ins installed, only JS disabled.

As I've been saying for years, the first line in defence of your privacy is to turn JavaScript off, all other protection measures, whilst useful, are of secondary importance.

Moreover, Privacy Analyzer is essentially useless even with JavaScript turned on. With just one add-on (Secret Agent) running, it successfully spoofed my location (randomly put me on the other side of the world), put me on another—now incorrect—IP address, randomly changed my User Agent to nothing like the one I was using, and Privacy Analyzer didn't know my PC's processor (among other things that it had also gotten incorrect).

I know I sound like a repeating scratched record about JavaScript—but don't take my word for it, just do the tests and prove what I'm saying for yourselves.

BTW, if you want to do these security/privacy tests both with and without JavaScript enabled then I'd suggest you use Steve Gibson's 'ShieldsUP!' — GRC (Gibson Research Corporation) https://www.grc.com/shieldsup. It's been around for years and works well.

They still get your email with SSO. And name, profile pic too. Which they don't via the normal method.

With SSO via Google, FB, you have to agree to share data with them.. email is a thousand times better

Real ID is a contract between the federal government and the states about the security of their existing ID issuing processes. It covers things like, don’t leave ID printers and card stock in podunk branch offices where $12/hour staff can let in their friends at night. Use printing processes that are sufficiently hard to replicate. If your freedom relied on stuff like this, you were already an outlaw, the only implication of Real ID is that now you will need stronger technical skills to produce your next convincing fake. It has nothing to do with where and whether IDs are required. Airport and courthouse security have been requiring IDs for many years now.

Speaking as a user, I strongly prefer OAuth login whenever possible, so I don't need to manage a new account. I trust the security of big players like Apple, Google, etc. a lot more than random app/website developers. There is some range of value (to me) of services where I will be willing to log in/sign up with an existing OAuth account, but I will not bother if I have to make a new account.

That said, which one it is matters. My order of preference is: Apple, Google, more minor players like GitHub, and way at the bottom of the list, I won't use Facebook's.
I understand the nostalgia or liking the retro look, but the site is completely unreadable in mobile. There is absolutely no redeeming quality in that.

I have found that 500mg Magnesium helps me stay asleep as much as anything and maybe helps get to sleep a bit earlier, however it also leaves me much more tired than usual the next day. I get a fair amount of magnesium in my diet so I think it might be too much for me, however less doesn't seem to help me sleep. OTOH, I have unusually sever sleep issues so it may be more helpful for many people.

China is a big country - could it be possible that while some people are indeed seeing an increase in their standard, whilst other areas are still in relative, if not absolute, poverty? We've all read the stories about Foxconn and some of the conditions endured by people working there.
The downvotes I don't think indicate others believe that it's okay to just sexually harass people. In fact, I'd venture to say that people here would be in nearly unanimous agreement that it's not okay. With that in mind, your comment to me appears to either be seeking in-group approval ("does anybody else?" When yes, almost everyone else) or is an attempt to be funny. All this to say, neither of those things are really valued here. Hence, downvotes.
If we want to dig into the sexism of the Dune universe, there are far far darker places than those. Axlotl tanks. I don't think those will be mentioned in the next movie/series.
Yeah you’re completely missing the mark on the iPhone SE. You physically cannot but an Android device with a faster CPU at ANY PRICE. 1500$, hell 15,000$ cannot get you a faster Android device than the iPhone SE. It’s a great metric for the future of Apple Silicon on desktops and laptops.

Why would a larger page size be difficult to use with window? Also why would that have a huge impact on the L1 cache? Are you talking about cache lines being larger? Intel cpus actually always pull two cache lines from memory, so 128 bytes, even though a cache line is 64 bytes.

I think you have some salient points there.

A few years down the line, Intel will look back and thank AMD for their decision to spin off GF and go with TSMC with Zen 2.

EYPC and Ryzen are keeping the x86 arch relevant until Intel is able to catch up on their next-gen process nodes.

AMD may be eating Intel's market share for lunch in a few markets, but in the long term keep ARM far enough away for it to be a niche player, both in the server space and the laptop space.
Identity as a noun is problematic and IMHO usually reflects miscomprehension.
Identity is a relationship. The identity function maps something onto itself. Authentication checks if the current entity is an entity you remember.

>I think drivers know wear and tear and fuel and insurance costs $0.50+ per mile.

It doesn't cost that. That number is what the IRS accepts for deducting mileage expenses. That doesn't mean that's what it costs everyone. An older model and fuel efficient car will be less than half that on a per mile basis.
It's interesting how modern tech companies took Microsoft's "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" playbook and ran with it. OAuth was supposed to be a standard that allowed interoperability but instead each company enforces the use of their own OAuth SDK/variant (see also Login With Apple).
Current self driving stats in general are meaningless because all that driving is done under constant human supervision. But if the car drives itself for 20Km and then needs intervention to avoid a fatal crash it will still count as another 20Km of self driving with no incidents. The human saves don't make it into the publicized stats.

There are 2 stats that could prove meaningful for this: some average of distance driven between human interventions, and percentage of driving conditions covered. Then compare this to human stats, I'd assume the average human driver might go 10000Km without incident while covering 90% of driving conditions (like everything except extreme weather or road conditions). A self driving car would have to match that.

In other words AP only has 5 deaths because those were the only drivers who left it unsupervised. I'd guess that if every car in the world today would suddenly be driven by a computer we'd see worse numbers than with human drivers one way or another (efficiency, deaths, etc.). Self driving today is great as an assist, with the human still fully in control.
Someone should make an app that lets you put in you select which gig job you are doing, enter fields that are specific to that job, and then have it spit out your hourly wage minus costs (gas, car repair, etc..) and also a minimum order/distance of the types of job you're willing to take to reach a certain level of price/hour.

My main complaint with their service model is that it is basically impossible to do service on your own car. I have never taken one of my vehicles to a dealer, or a third party service shop, aside from getting tires mounted and smog checks done. This is made possible because I only buy cars which have parts and service documentation available, but as time goes on it is harder and harder to get this information. Tesla is actively working to make this impossible, and this in combination with the required always on telemetry is why I ended up purchasing a Fiat instead of Tesla--despite it being a quantitatively and subjectively worse car.
Loads fast at least.
That's fair. I interpreted the comparison as being between "AI implemented as a property of human organizations" and "AI implemented as a powerful search algorithm". While corporations can certainly be dangerous, they're still made of people and thus are unlikely to want to do things like "convert the entire mass of the solar system into dollar bills" (and even if they did, they'd have a hard time doing it). A sufficiently powerful search algorithm would find all sorts of bizarre ways of satisfying its goals. The point is that the scope of the risk is quite different when talking about corporations (order of magnitude: screwing up the environment in pursuit of easy profit) vs "real" AI which, if granted agency, would have potentially unbounded risk.

Another way to look at it is with regards to capacity for self-modification. If a corporation can't re-structure itself into being much smarter than the smartest human, its intelligence is fundamentally limited, and therefore so is the risk. Does software have this restriction? We don't really know yet, but it's hard to point to exactly why it would.
I think is weird that Microsoft uses security as a feature for customers who pay more.
I mean, security, if universal in their platform, would only give more prestige to the Windows brand, so why to let some of their users unprotected, specially when lack of security features, virus, etc.. have hurt so much the Windows brand?

They should give other kind of features and apps instead. Never negotiate security, and made it universal, giving more strength to their image.

Think of it, in the end you will be paying to be protected from the insecurity that is only there because of the flaws in their platform.

Its like a mob rising the crime levels on a neighborhood and at the same time asking to be payed to grant you security for the troubles people are only having because they are creating those same troubles in the first place (even if/when indirectly).
What security do you get from them that you don't get from a password manager and a random password for every service? I specifically avoid all external OAuth flows for my personal accounts because there is almost always an extra data grab associated with it.
Do you know any Uber drivers or are you just being paternalistic? I have friends who do Uber, Lyft, Postmates and they are definitely aware of the costs and take steps to optimize them where possible. They need to calculate mileage to do their taxes. They aren’t idiots. There’s a community of drivers and they talk about this stuff.
>"This has to stop. Slavery was long gone and finished [bla bla bla]..."

Funny how you're much more hysterical about how renaming things has to stop, than you are concerned about how slavery has to stop, when you directly deny the harsh objective reality that there are actually many more slaves today than ever before in history.

Get your priorities right. Renaming things isn't taking away your freedom or cramping your lifestyle.

Why and how you should learn to code (2018)
Apparently the financial planning model Intel used to justify turning down Apple in that case had a math error (dividing by 1+X instead of multiplying by 1+X) that actually swung the analysis in the wrong direction.

Given the resulting impact (Intel being far behind in the smartphone market), it might qualify as the costliest Excel error of all time.
If they wanted those extra things available on x86 macs, they could just stuff them in an accelerator chip.

So VR Second Life.

I was largely bought into the Second Life hype briefly. I certainly lived through all the brands setting up camp in Second Life.

But I'm skeptical VR was the missing ingredient. Most people don't want immersion most of the time. e.g. people hyping up VR for collaboration. I'm actually fine with video calls at least some of the time. But you're not getting me to wear a VR headset hours a day. Not happening.
You can look at AMD CPUs if you want an apples-to-apples comparison, as theirs are on the same TSMC nodes as Apple.
>Most desirable hires will outright refuse contract-to-hire so you're restricting yourself to a low quality talent pool already

That seems like an odd thing to say. Where do you jump from "undesirable" to "low quality"? Isn't it exactly the undesirable but fair quality people who are stuck doing contract to hire? That is, those who are undervalued in the marketplace? It seems like a doubtful plan to insist on only chasing people who don't need the position you want to fill and probably don't want to do it.
Car insurance distorts so many uses of cars that, IMO, its time for government to step in.

Simple things like "oh, I'll drive my daughter's car to work today because she doesn't need it and it's more economical" end up not happening because insurance is too prescriptive on who can drive.

Instead insurance should either be for a car (and anyone with a license can drive) or for a driver (who can then drive any street legal car).

In the case of the car, they should provide a window sticker saying 'Insured for all drivers' so everyone is aware that the car can be borrowed (with the owners permission obviously).
The "x86 version of the iOS frameworks" is where those differences would be apparent. Apple may have done a good job with their simulator, but that's just it -- Apple did this work so that their iOS developers wouldn't have to.

As an iOS developer, you don't need to think about memory barriers if you don't want to, but Apple's simulator and frameworks absolutely do. That's the kind of work that awaits systems programmers who want to port high performance x86 server software to ARM.

x86 hardware is physically more permissive than ARM. Accesses that must be aligned on ARM can be left unaligned on x86, and they'll still work correctly. But x86 isn't going to explode either if you do happen align them. ARM is weakly ordered, x86 is strongly ordered, so you generally need more fences on ARM than you do on x86, but leaving these fences in place doesn't break things on x86.

My point was that code that works correctly on ARM usually works correctly without modification on x86. The opposite is generally not the case, even if the iOS simulator hides this for you.
Apple was the first to release a mainstream computer device on the arm64 platform with its chips on the iPhone5s, and I believe this took the rest of the computing world by surprise, perhaps 1-2 years ahead of anyone else.
"At that point, you're going to attract the delivery drivers who weren't willing to drive for $10/hr but are willing to drive for $11/hr or $12/hr or..etc."

But are there enough people who are willing to drive for $11/hr but not for $10/hr to balance out the ones already driving for $10/hr?

We don't know.

It's possible that all or most of those willing to be delivery drivers for $15/hr are already driving for $10/hr, and raising the wage to $15/hr won't have an appreciable impact on the supply of drivers.

Facebook SSO is extremely convenient for the end-user: most people have an FB account and it's literally three clicks tops to get logged in, vs manually filling out a registration form, thinking of/remembering a password, confirming the email address...

Also, it cuts down on support requests of the type "can you reset my account password?" / "can't login" massively.
Yes, we should have a national politburo assign funds to Rust development. Although most of private industry (proles) disagrees, us in the Administration believe that Rust is superior. The proles--ahem I mean programmers with jobs--keep causing problems by using Unsafe technologies and being too dumb to use them. Rust should be funded by The People. It is a Public Good after all because using anything else would be an act of defiance against the will of The People.
Exactly. How can you have a fair trial if the defence lawyer won't give his best? Just look at the sham justice served if a person can't afford counsel and has to use a public defender. In the US being rich or poor can make the difference in whether or not a person goes to jail for a crime.

I understand people get upset when they help a very likely guilty person get off (OJ Simpson anyone? see the point about being rich above.)

But defence lawyers have an important job, irrespective of who they're representing or what they're alleged to have done.
