I have long suspected that the uncontrolled growth of phone models with some manufacturers (particularly Motorola and occasionally Sony) was mainly caused by carrier desires. A downward spiral where weak manufacturers were strongarmed by carriers into polluting their portfolio while stronger manufacturers could maintain a clean lineup. But is Google in that situation? Are they even selling through carriers? (honestly, I have no idea, where I live the carrier channel was already in steep decline before the iPhone hit)

Design your own database/no-code solutions ironically seem to appeal more to software developers than it does to end-users. Devs and tech-savvy-power-users are looking for ways to automate app development. End-users are more likely to try to find the exact solution that targets their specific niche--not a design my own database/no-code solution.

This is not necessarily a bad thing, there is still a problem here to solve. The approach is likely in who you market to and understanding who your market is.
As much as you might think end-users are your market, they really aren't. Even if end-users are given the tools so they can design their own apps, a lot of them don't want to. They'd rather have IT do that for them.
IT on the other hand, would love to have things that makes it easier for them to automate quick CRUD apps for all the internal business operations that have to be dealt with, especially at enterprise levels.
This is why SalesForce and JIRA succeed and other too generic design your own database solutions targeted at end-users fail. As much as people love to hate SalesForce and JIRA for their enterprise-y ways they are making a lot of money doing what they're doing.
It's great to have options and alternatives. I feel like calling your application a copy-cat is being harsh. What you've discovered is that there is a now a market of providers for the category of your application.

If there was only one instance of any sort of application or tool the world would be boring and we'd be stuck with only stale options.
the article also goes into the fact that these stingray devices can send text messages from your phone number and listen to your phone calls in real time. I dont think your analogy really captures that, and it's hard to imagine an argument for that being legal (at least without a warrant)
Vonnegut had a great quote along the lines of "we become who we pretend to be".

“Showing Up” is probably the most important concept in health / fitness IMO. When setting a new habit I try to do it every single day, in small amounts, until it becomes my life. I did this with yoga and now after more than 300 days straight it is simply a part of my life I couldn’t imagine not doing daily.
I disagree with the other comments. I can give you concrete reasons to care about algebraic geometry. I don't know enough of Grothendeick's vast generalizations yet to give you a good answer. I'm sure that I'll find applications of it, though ;)

Algebraic geometry, broadly construed, is the study of solutions to polynomial equations, just as linear algebra is the study of linear equations. I hope we'll both agree that linear algebra is used literally /everywhere/. Algebraic geometry sees a fair bit of use, mostly through the use of objects called as a Grobner basis, which allows us to solve for large systems of polynomial equations efficiently. The book "Ideals, Varieties, and Algorithms" goes into detail about this sort of "effective algebraic geometry" that's used to solve systems.

One algebraic geometry tool I have personally used is known as cylindrical algebraic decomposition. It's quantifier elimination for real polynomials, so you can use it to ask questions about behaviours of polynomials and compute answers to them. So if you have a problem that can be phrased as "can polynomials do this" [think safety/liveness properties], you can use cynlindrical algebraic decompostion to answer such questions.

My understanding is that Grothendeick's vast generalizations and perspectives allows one to take "geometric insight" gained from thinking about polynomials, and translate them into many many more settings. He had visions of number theory, so he built a lot of (very general) machinery, with an eye towards number theoretic problems. But really, the machinery is so general, and casts deep geometric insight on such a basic object of mathematics (rings and their ideals, as well as "what is gemometry") that I can see myself using what AG I know many, many times in the coming years.

Then there is also a whole branch of math called as tropical geometry which transports a lot of the AG machinery into piecewise functions. This is incredibly useful, because the AG machinery is very powerful, while piecewise linear functions are ubiquitous. It's early days [to my understanding] of tropical geometry, and I know woefully little about it. But I feel that if I learn more, I can gain a lot of useful algorithms and insight from the field. For more, there is an AMS intro article: https://www.ams.org/publications/journals/notices/201704/rno...

For more topological flavoured answer, check out the book Elementary Applied Topology by robert ghirst: https://www.math.upenn.edu/~ghrist/notes.html. It chronicles large swathes of algebraic topology and related fields in a clean, accessible style with applications.

DefenseStorm is a cybersecurity startup that helps banks and other financial institutions manage the deluge of security data that they produce. We take all of the security critical information and then alert on what's important, generate reports, show cool dashboards, and simplify demonstrating compliance to their regulators and auditors.

I got my job here through an HN Who's Hiring post 5 years ago, and I love working here. Strong engineering culture - weekly hour 'topic sync' to share knowledge, minimal meetings, flexible hours/wfh, happy customers that give good feedback, and interesting problems to solve. Sales just closed our best quarter ever, and we recently moved into a new office near the ferry terminal with waterfront views! Currently our engineering team is fully remote for COVID and are conducting interviews remotely.

We use AngularJS/Angular (upgrade in progress), Typescript, Java 11, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, and we're built on AWS. Our interview loop is a 1-hour phone screening, followed by a ~4 hours video call - and we've designed it to approximate realistic day-to-day coding and code review (no algorithm riddles).

It seems you might have missed my point.

"I think that companies are extremely unlikely to forego interviewing a candidate that otherwise looks good because they had no cover letter."

My point is that the cover letter is one of the tools the applicant can use to highlight themselves as a good candidate. It could easily be the tipping point for getting an interview. It can give you some feeling for their communication skills, their understanding of the role / company / product. Though I concede most cover letters are not very well written, mostly generic. In the absence of a good cover letter, their resume alone must stand out.

Of course it could be a tricky situation: choosing between a candidate with a great cover letter and less obviously great resume vs a generic cover letter and more relevant experience listed on their resume.

Personally I would lean towards the better cover letter. They have given a clearer indication enthusiasm and interest in the job. A well written cover letter will explain how their experience is relevant, despite not superficially appearing so. This allows them to show insight into the role.
You are thinking of this from the point of view of a morally sound individual in the modern world.

It is always difficult to simply destroy your wealth after death. It would have been easier for him to Will all his slaves to whomever inherited the rest of his estate, or to simply sell them all before his death and give that money to causes he believed in (like setting up a university under his name).

No one at his time was going to criticize him. Heck other slave owners probably considered him too tender hearted for doing, what was in their minds the equivalent of releasing your prize horses into the wild to “run free” after you died.
The best interviews, and the best places I've ended up working, are the least-technical. A simple free-form conversation in a casual environment (over coffee, lunch, beer, whatever) is sufficient. Talk shop. Geek out about something. If you can joke with the interviewer about how annoying it is that Docker Swarm punches holes in your firewall; playfully debate Vim vs. IDEs; have an opinion on the quality of open source web frameworks in Go vs Python; have a favorite Linux shell; can relate a horror story migrating a UI from React to Vue; etc., then I'm going to learn a whole lot more about you than I'd ever learn in a formal interview. Gotcha questions, whiteboarding, hypothetical situations, etc. rarely demonstrate much actual experience writing software. The bulk of the work that most developers do doesn't involve inventing anything; it's usually just wiring things together.

If you've got a specific, narrow skill that you're hiring for, then you might need to get more technical, but you should have vetted that already by selecting your candidates from a PhD program or a prior successful job where you're already familiar with their research.

If you're hiring someone right out of undergrad, there's no technical interview that's really going to help. You just need to find someone smart and motivated to learn, and a casual conversation is better for that as well.
I try to get 8 hours. Challenging. My autonomic nervous system is still in repair after damage to my gut 4 years ago. I am still slowly removing and repairing scar tissue. The gut and the vagus nerve have extensive complex interaction. Repair is slow but I am slowly getting there.

Yes, I do intermittent-intermittent fasting. If I do IF every day, it spikes too much HGH and I go too far into Ketosis. That puts a heavy load on the kidneys. It took me a long time to get out of shape and I am taking it very slowly back to a nominal state.
That could be a way to go. Another option to represent time in a less fixed manner is to use a now-next-later roadmap schema.
It's more to the point of what's important vs. time as a measurement.

While the returns can be good at times, there are two other probably more important reasons:

* Reducing volatility of retirement funds (the primary reason most people are saving/investing) as the age of retirement approaches.

* Rebalancing opportunities: having bonds means having capital that can be liquidated to purchase equities when they dip.

A lot of folks talk about the "lost decade" of the S&P 500 between 2000 and 2009. But if one rebalanced, and were not 100% equities, then the returns were actually pretty good:

It may not majority be used as a desktop, but it is marketed as such. You go to the raspberry pi store in Cambridge, and the first thing you see is it's use as a desktop.

The use cases for the Raspberry PI is ridiculously varied which I think reinforces it's application support relative to Windows on ARM.

I have seen it used for openstack development, as a desktop, home theatre pc, pihole, nextcloud instance, emulator etc... I haven't really found software that I can't just install/use.

Can you say the same for any windows on arm deployment? Especially if they are only just coming out with mainstream support for OpenJDK and Electron support.

> No one has put forth the argument that Sowell believes systematic racism cannot ever exist.

The comment I was responding to literally said "It is immeasurable, undefinable, unchangeable. As a propagandist you must take care to use things that can not be countered. Systemic racism is one of those." A very clear implication that systemic racism doesn't exist.

Now, this may not be Sowell's views, but fortunately for Sowell, I never mentioned him in my initial reply.

> He just questions whether the studies being produced today are done so without pre-existing bias (are they looking for data to back up their belief, or vice versa) and whether the data produced evidentiates the conclusion.

All science is performed with biases. We couldn't possibly form a hypothesis without following our intuitions first. The question is whether our biases conform to the data. Of course, biases may also shape how we interpret data, but this is true for everyone. Sowell may be right, but let's not pretend that he, or anyone for that matter, is the only one approaching this research with a truly neutral, unbiased approach.

I think it's fair to subject research into systemic racism to scrutiny, but that's merely the process of academic review. It should never be touted as cutting through the propaganda, as if Sowell is some kind of crusader against the dogmatic PC police left.

> In fact, in his books, he openly admits that he believes that it did indeed once exist.

Now, call me crazy, but given that he believes it once existed, I find it hard to believe that he also believes that it's just over and done with now. John Lewis just died recently, and I consider it unlikely that we'd ferret out racism from our systems in just that span of time, especially when I hear stories of, for instance, a North Carolina legislature disenfranchising Black people with surgical precision as recent as 2014. If we still have that kind of explicit racism in our public institutions, it's unreasonable to think more subtle forms aren't also causing unequal outcomes.

What interest are you talking about? The article said he had money to pay for 8 buildings in cash and he wanted to loan to renovate them.

I suggested that if you can't get a loan you should tune down your ambitions a bit. There are many white people who can't get a loan too, tune it down with the racist us vs them thinking. It's not like all white people gain from that one person getting more leverage.

I was talking about doing this to remove the statistics that cause the apparent racism, while you want to keep perpetuating the same mentality. Wake up or keep wondering why you are still losing.

A basic litmus test is how a news source reports stock movements. It’s at X up/down Y points from yesterday is news.

Another way of saying that is doing so is quite simply a lie.

NYT is no more in the business of credible news than the Wall Street Journal or Fox News. That’s simply not their business model. They all take unbiased Reuters coverage and add spin to appeal to their audience and distort the truth in the process.
