I just moved out of the ad agency/SEO industry (using a semi-burner account for that reason) and back into full-stack development. In the past couple of years I put a lot of effort into performance analysis and improvement (mainly site speed but other critical factors) but got very little buy-in from my clients. I was also looking beyond basic "SEO metrics" and the cookie-cutter output from Google Page Speed test and even building a solid ROI model from wasted ad-spend on slow sites with high bounce rates.

Is this something you're seeing a lot of demand for? If so are people actively searching it out or this just a consulting/who-you-know sort of thing?

He said the game had multiplayer when it not only had no netcode of any kind but none was being worked on. That is a lie.

Their advertising materials including their post-launch Steam page featured large-scale space battles, rivers, formation flying with wingmen, etc were so egregiously false they triggered an investigation by the UK’s Advertising Standards Authority.
No, it isn't. If you look at Uber's latest earnings report, in Q2 Uber Eats did more adjusted net revenue than rides did pre-COVID.

Your 20 min pick up time is because drivers don't want to accept the fares. Both for health and earnings reasons.
There were 2 or 3, but they weren't even half as good as either Lyft or Uber. The rides were more expensive and took longer to route for pick up.

Ask HN: What should I do after dropping off my laptop for repair?
I cracked the screen on my laptop and so dropped it off at a local shop for repair. I just realized I have now given someone full access to my unencrypted hard drive. When I get my laptop back what precautions should I take(e.g. update passwords, SSH keys, ...)? What should I do next time?
AB5 has not achieved its intended effect and has had a number of unintended consequences, including collateral damage in industries such as freelance journalism and other contract jobs where "full-time" employment results in the employer going bankrupt. Being familiar with some of these industries, I estimate that AB5 has led to a net loss of jobs, economic activity, and civic engagement in CA, again without achieving its stated aims. As an example, AB5 further stresses small local newspapers/news sites, which are a key vehicle for public accountability and civic engagement.

A likely outcome now is that Uber/Lyft will carve out an exemption for taxi drivers (like a few other industries with effective lobbying operations have already done) while distressed small employers continue to suffer from AB5's effects.

I think it's quite fair to call AB5 a bad law.

> The argument for DRM is that it ships in a sandbox built by Mozilla.

Actually, I was long since wondering how exactly that sandbox works, so if you have some more information about that, I'd appreciate it.

Henri Sivonen's general explanation of EME and CDMs[1] tells the following:

> A CDM could be bundled with the browser, downloaded separately, bundled with the operating system, embedded in hardware as firmware running in a second domain of computing (such as ARM TrustZone) or wired into hardware. EME leaves this aspect implementation-dependent. [...]

EME does not specify the output abstraction for CDMs. It leaves open several options. The CDM could:

- Merely perform decryption and hand back the encoded media (e.g. H.264) to the browser.

[...]

- Perform decryption and decoding and then work together with the GPU so that not even the operating system gets the opportunity to read the pixels back from the GPU.

Meanwhile, Mozilla's implementation of EME seems to be substantially more restrictive[2]:

> Firefox does not load [the CDM] directly. Instead, we wrap it into an open-source sandbox. In our implementation, the CDM will have no access to the user’s hard drive or the network. Instead, the sandbox will provide the CDM only with communication mechanism with Firefox for receiving encrypted data and for displaying the results.

[...]

in Firefox the sandbox prohibits the CDM from fingerprinting the user’s device. Instead, the CDM asks the sandbox to supply a per-device unique identifier.

However, if the sandbox works as explained, the DRM seems to be trivially defeatable: I can simply fork Firefox and modify the sandbox, so it lies to the CDM about the fingerprinting and/or captures the decrypted media stream and writes it to a file - so then, how did Mozilla get Hollywood to agree on this?

On the other hand, if the CDM has some means to verify that Firefox has not been tampered with, then it can escape the sandbox - so then, what is the point of the sandbox?

Yeah the song is a relict of PLC times.

"Wesele" means "wedding", "weselej" means "more happily" (wesoło, weselej, najweselej = happily, happili-er, happili-est - as adverbs not adjectives).

So "dawaj, dawaj, weselej" would mean something like "let's go, let's go, happier now", right?

That's good feedback. We'll have to examine the native use-case a little more closely.
It's a bit confusing but does make sense. Imagine wanting to buy 20% (or 100%) of Apple in the public markets. If you try in normal trading it will either take months based on trading volume or you'll bid up the price as you're buying.

People looking to own larger pieces of a business are often willing to pay a premium to folks trying to buy smaller pieces.
The argument you've parroted is against using your personal phone number for work. That's abusive, because it allows the employer to send you work when you're off the clock.

Using your smartphone to log into your payroll site, or as the internet bridge to the company VPN, is not any different from using a broadband line and a laptop to do the same thing. Those systems shouldn't be able to interrupt you when you're not working, but they might still be accessed through a smartphone in lieu of a desktop or laptop.

Why do you think that law is necessarily deontological? There are many areas of the law in the US that tilt towards consequentialism, such as antitrust law (does it harm the consumer?)
It was a part of school when I attended, amongst other computer skills.

I have a sister who is 7 years younger than me. When she attended the same schools, the computer courses had already begun scaling back. The justification was that "kids just know how to use them". This included explicit typing class because "Kids don't need to be taught that anymore. They already know!".
My guess is that this advice of "raise less money" is a result of hanging around too many successful founders.

That is, if you talk to successful founders, they will generally wish they raised less money (due to dilution).

And, if you talk to failed founders, they will generally wish they raised more money (to increase likelihood of true PMF).

Also, I think that fear is a useful mental state when there is real and imminent danger. In startup land, you are right to be fearful, because you are much more likely to die than stay alive.

If you don't have the luxury of unlimited shots at success (due to a lackluster safety net or other life goals), it makes sense to maximize the likelihood of success in your current venture. There is a lot of "startup cost" to working on a new idea, and in a lot of fields, you will eventually succeed if you just stay alive/don't die.

Seems like an awfully large oversight to reuse the encryption key between subsequent calls.

I wonder if this works when leaving voicemail in the second call? Since the approach requires a long call for a long decryption, dialing straight to voicemail would be non-cooperative and avoid alerting the victim until after.

Nintendo DS Architecture – A Practical Analysis
Why the burden of drivers being an employee fall on Uber and not the driver? One can argue that there is just a marketplace and a payment processor, the actual "management, directions, and compensation" are determined by the rider.
Hi-Level
1) Uber drivers are totally at liberty to set their own hours, and drive in location of their choice ( destination are chosen by Uber, but a worker is at liberty to drive in San Jose one day and San Francisco the next).

2) The drivers are outside of Uber's business. Uber is a software and technology company, not a taxi service.

3) Drivers are independent workers, in business for themselves.

4) Same as above.

With these criteria it unambiguously seems to be the case that ride share drivers are independent contractors. I struggle to see how one could make the case that they are employees.
In terms of reliability, "enterprise-grade" tends to mean "applied high-availability best practices from the 1990s" and those practices aren't nearly as effective as people thought they were. Basically none of that stuff was tested to destruction Jepsen-style and we now know that it won't survive. As long as everybody was following the same practices you could pretend that it's not possible to do better, but later Google and others showed that it is in fact possible to achieve much higher availability using different practices.
To play devil's advocate, even if they wanted to follow the law in good faith, they'd need to completely restructure their business. Until they can do so, they'd need to be shut down.
Personally I think this solution is simpler and easier to implement than using js. This isn't really an abuse. This seems exactly what these tags were intended for
I agree with reconsidering whether or not to continue if you're not hitting your milestones. But by raising the minimum amount of money necessary to hit your milestones, you're not giving yourself the ability to reconsider unless you're default alive.

So I guess what I'm saying is that if you're default alive, this strategy makes a lot of sense. But if you're default dead, it seems reckless. E.g. there was nothing structurally wrong with a lot of the companies that got wiped out due to covid, and I'm sure there were lots of founders that would have happily just scaled down for six months or whatever but were locked into agreements that didn't leave them with the ability to do that.
Yep! One thing that we wanted was to make our more customizable and hackable. So we have a React component you can install with https://github.com/papercups-io/chat-widget. We want to make it highly hackable and a bit more developer focused. But at the moment we are very similar to chatwoot and love the work they are doing.
I definitely agree with you on this issue, but want to point out that "free choice" can lead to suboptimal outcomes. Here's an excerpt by Singer:

> Suppose I live in the suburbs and work in the city. I could drive my car to work, or take the bus. I prefer not to wait around for the bus, and so I take my car. Fifty thousand other people living in my suburb face the same choice and make the same decision. The road to town is choked with cars. It takes each of us an hour to travel ten miles. In this situation, according to the liberal conception of freedom, we have all chosen freely. Yet the outcome is something none of us want. If we all went by bus, the roads would be empty and we could cover the distance in twenty minutes. Even with the inconvenience of waiting at the bus stop, we would all prefer that. We are, of course, free to alter our choice of transportation, but what can we do? While so many cars slow the bus down, why should any individual choose differently? The liberal conception of freedom has led to a paradox: we have each chosen in our own interests, but the result is in no one’s interest. Individual rationality, collective irrationality…

there goes the business model, including the velocity. do you even startup, bro? sorry for that. a cheeky way to say, growth rate is critical in a funded business like this. an on-prem product is hard enough, an on-prem security critical product, whose entire reason for on-prem is the security aspect? it would kill them.

on-prem doesn't even make sense for the 99% that aren't concerned about the security of it, as long as someone else is responsible for it.

lastly, the rate of implementation and tweaks to integrations for such a thing is going to be very, very high. there is just no sensible way to deploy this on-prem. (selling and supporting an on-prem product is very different from developing your own in-house solution.)
Uber doesn’t “deny basics” any more than I deny basics when I hire a plumber and pay the plumber in cash instead of hiring them on as an employee.

EDIT: Uber isn’t the “plumbing company”. It’s a marketplace for transportation solutions, and accepts job offers and then sends the jobs out to contractors who have indicated they are interested in accepting such jobs. This isn’t just a “polite fiction”, this is fundamentally how Uber operates, and why they are shutting down in California. AB5 is a terrible law and I hope it is reversed or carved out to uselessness. I see it as a net negative for the economy, and especially for the workers who will now be receiving zero supplemental income during these tough times. Uber drivers are not employees of Uber.
Rural Canada is a big problem for ISPs or so they say. Vast distances and little profit. Often the people who live in rural areas do so because it's cheaper to live there. Many may not be able to afford $200 Internet or maybe even $20 is too much. I know some rural folks who live on $6,000 per year.

My province is small but even here in the rural areas ISPs balk at having to run fiber down a side road off the main highway. Even with money thrown at them from various governments over the last two decades they still won't budge.

The places that do have DSL or wireless are often stuck in the "up to" scenario. Sure it's supposed to be 1.5Mbps but it's up to 1.5Mbps.

Many people here are waiting for Starlink but I don't think that will be as good as promised. If the cost is low that will help but the dish will be a problem. Rural areas tend to have a lot of trees and here we also have snow 1/2 the year.
It's the so-called Baader–Meinhof phenomenon, or frequency illusion more formally speaking.

The number 40 (sometimes 30) has become this arbitrary standard with large binary differences on each side of the fence. This makes it very difficult for people to negotiate time off, less than full time schedules, partial retirement etc.

Laws written in the past often are deeply tied to the assumption of one american lifestyle and dream, which is no longer the reality, and thus is very inefficient for many many people. Laws written to instead capture the concepts and algorithmically scale them would be much more effective. Something like $EMPLOYER must pay N/40ths of the healthcare cost where N is the number of hours worked.
People with 2 jobs could get full healthcare premiums covered.

People who want to scale back to 1/2 time would know what to expect and it wouldnt be a binary decision factor.

It’s a bit offputting to have a site called “decisiondata” giving basically no info on their data retrieval procedure or caveats that should be applied on their methodology.

We don’t know much about who they polled, when or how they polled them, and of course no sample questions. Their citation of the BBC result have more info than their own.

Ditto — I think tools like Sentinel policies are a great answer here because it doesn't prevent your administrators from doing something in a hurry but it means that your normal flow of releases will catch missed tags.
