When I brought up my thoughts around the Uber candidate, I was supported by the people on the panel. One of them confessed that he had regretted not asking the question. It's part of the reason that I love working here.

If a team here built something like "god-mode" and it made the news for those levels of abuse... well, it would very possibly tank the company. It definitely hurt Uber. So it's not just personal, it's business!

I think this overlooks the ways that opposition can increase costs of building nuclear and the extreme safety burden imposed on nuclear plants but not other energy plants & sources

> Otherwise Apple would've put the A13 to differentiate between the Air and the Pro lineups.

Yeah that's what I was expecting. Have any iPads (even pros) even had the latest year's chips before?

I wonder if the plan is to push the iPad Air up a notch into pro usage (would explain usb-c), and also push the Pro up another notch too even more into pro laptop territory.

It will be interesting to see how they peg the iPad Pro VS the new MacBook with apple silicon - which will they want to be more powerful? Maybe it will just be a difference of how much RAM is in there.

And how do you know those biometrics stay on device? How do you know they will continue to stay on the device? It's not your kernel. It's THEIR kernel. They can do whatever they want.
Do they know you are a small company? An assembled and audited SOC2 report is not inexpensive and is a lot to ask of a small firm to have already. What is reasonable is if they are asking you to produce your processes/procedures of how you feel you meet the requirements of SOC2. Also if you are using something like AWS, that can help you satisfy some of the compliance side too.

I have been in your shoes where I ran a small company and got an opportunity (eventual deal) with a large Fortune 500 firm and they were asking me for SOC and ISO type reports early on. I was up front with them and said I was happy to share all the details why I felt we were meeting those requirements but I couldn't justify the $10's of thousands of dollars to assemble and have audited these standards and reports at the time. Essentially they had their typical vendor checklist they were looking at and just asked because it was on the checklist. Once I went through the details, they were pretty understanding and helped me get them the information they needed to demonstrate compliance without us having to go through the insanity for a small company that some of these standards require.

Yup. It's been a fun weekend. Everyone in the family is feeling the cabin fever, but outside (Bellevue, WA) smells like inside of a fireplace. We put a few boxed fans with HEPA filters around the house and they are now black. In hindsight, should've bought more filters, but all the stores and Amazon are sold out for the near future.

Speaking about the future, this puts planning in perspective. With the climate changing, remote work, covid and all, the way we live in the next 20 years might look somewhat different than past 50. The new "American Dream" might be a tiny condo with great AC, minimal footprint, solar energy and rain water storage...etc.

It's a good time to ponder what the real estate and living of the future could look like!

It's difficult to know what/where the line is for sure, but I think lots of software has shifted away from making people's lives better. Facebook, Amazon, Uber, are doing more negative for humanity than positive I think. Sure, they offer a service that might not've existed before, at least in that iteration or scale, but at what point are the negatives outweighing the positives?

Sure, you "connect" people to friends/family they may not be able to see in person or communicate with regularly. You're also verifiably playing god with information and misinformation, as well as spying on your users, selling their data to other people that want to spy on them, paying employees to view toxic content (which results in PTSD), etc. Is all this worth being able to communicate with people you don't really care about, or that don't really care about you?
You make a good point. But take an objective look at all the other responses on this page. How many of them contain the hidden assumption that Republican voters are stupid? I see a few. You might not be able to see it right away. You have to read them a certain way. Some have been downvoted and are light gray. But they are there.

And conversation here on HN is very restrained. When this news hits other social media, there will be more claims that Trump is stupid, Republicans are stupid, and any independent who is considering voting for a Republican is stupid.

So, yes, this article has unleashed a new wave of hatred in the world.

I have nothing against professional scientific writers writing a letter to the New York Times, or even writing an editorial there. In fact they should. I agree with you that it's good when they correct a specific claim with scientific evidence.

This is something else.

This is the whole Scientific American organization putting their stamp of approval on the idea that Republican voters are stupid.
Yeah they used to track time on site (with Google Analytics or if the user clicks the "back" button), probably still do.

Hyperlinks still play an important role - if someone links to the article's URL, that automatically increases its rank. No one links to trash. Links from known spam websites will downrank the article or the whole website really fast.

Whiteboard coding in an interview is a performance anxiety test and hazing ritual as much as anything.
I'd like to emphasize the nature of the answer which was a defensive "I was just following orders".

At that point, I was conducting dozens of interviews a year, and I think that sort of question came up... maybe three times? One of those people was from a medical company with a very large and very embarrassing contemporary incident, and the interviewee and I talked about development process problems. In fact, they admitted, it was part of the reason they left! We hired them and I enjoyed working with him.

I think by now it is common knowledge in anyone interested in this subject. A good place to start is this ArsTechnica post from 2013 (updated in 2018) [1].

One nice user on Reddit made a list [2] of AOSP apps replaced by Google:

Clock removed in 8.1, replaced by Clock (G)

Calculator removed in 9.0, replaced by Calculator (G).

This extends to APIs too. For example, Android Location API [3] has a very nice warning on the documentation page:

> This API is not the recommended method for accessing Android location.
The Google Location Services API, part of Google Play services, is the preferred way to add location-awareness to your app. It offers a simpler API, higher accuracy, low-power geofencing, and more. If you are currently using the android.location API, you are strongly encouraged to switch to the Google Location Services API as soon as possible.

To learn more about the Google Location Services API, see the Location API overview.

Hope I removed some vagueness left by my previous comment.

I’ve had it pretty much since it launched. $5 a month is a pittance and there are quite a few excellent games on it (Grindstone is fantastic if you have any interest at all in color-matching puzzles), plus it’s hard to overstate the significance of the complete lack of ads and IAP. The fact that every single Arcade game works on our Apple TV is a real bonus because I can feel comfortable letting my son play games on it (especially since the vast majority are all-ages appropriate).

Nice to see some personal responsibility! :) I feel like one really needs to take a deontological view on things like this. Much like voting, every person who quits their job, refuses to hire an applicant or build a feature on ethical grounds moves society a step in the right direction. Don't forget about your personal agency, if you work in SV you probably have TONS AND TONS of it.
I'm always in awe of how out of touch a lot of SV people are. The Rust Belt has cities. They have people. The rest of the country has people. The San Francisco-San Jose axis and NYC/LA are not the only parts of the country that matter. In Detroit alone, 6 million people live in the surrounding metro area. Cleveland? 2 million. Pittsburgh? 2.5.

Nuclear would be a great way to replace coal and create new jobs as well. And that part of the country is prime for innovation in the energy sector having been dominated by coal for the last century and a half.

> Don't people rely on Nvidia for deep learning workflows? I thought that stuff ran on Linux?

It all comes down to there always being two ways to do things when interacting with a GPU under Linux: The FOSS/vendor-neutral way, and the Nvidia way.

The machine learning crowd has largely gone the Nvidia way. Good luck getting your CUDA codebase working on any other GPU.

The desktop Linux crowd has largely gone the FOSS route. They have software that works well with AMD, Intel, VIA, and other manufacturers. Nvidia is the only one that wants vendor-specific code.
Oh yeah, good point.

I haven't thought about it, but yeah if you do agriculture just for biofuel, it could be considered inexhaustible (and even renewable?).

But that seems like a terrible waste of agricultural production (which is better used for feeding people and animals).

Donating anonymously is a way of avoiding ending up on the mailing list of every charity in the country.

While it wasn't so important in this case because as a former billionaire I assume he had people at a foundation who's job it was to handle his correspondence, but if you are a regular person looking to make a donation it's often a good idea to keep your name and contact info out of it as much as possible. Charities can be really bad about selling your name.
This is absolutely fair. When I ask people coming from Amazon why they left, I am very carefully listening to whether they like how Amazon treats its people or not. If I were interviewing an ex-Facebook employee, I'd want to hear some discomfort with Facebook's ethics.
I had this idea too. I proposed it as an alternative to web bundles.

I think it's important to at least partially separate the issues of climate change from plastic pollution. For some reason these two have become entwined together in the public mind. We need to get a handle on plastic pollution, and yes, it's a product of the petrochemical industry so there is that, but it's not the same type or scale of problem as the emergency around tailpipe / smokestack CO2 or methane emissions.

>for almost any voting scheme, there are circumstances where you do better by not voting your true preferences.

Which isn't a very important consideration compared to other attributes of election methods. Usually, coordination and signalling problems make tactical voting inadvisable. But even when tactical voting does work, it's not necessarily a problem.

The source of all of Arrow's nonsense is treating an election as a very large opinion poll on a single candidate. Of course pollsters hate liars, so everyone who takes Arrow seriously tries to eliminate tactical voting.

However, that's the completely wrong model. An election is an opportunity for a citizen to use their equal political weight to try to steer the polity. If some citizens managed to be smart and use their political weight smartly good for them. So what if their vote wasn't their true preference?

Tactical voting is only a problem when the election method allows a minority to win frequently - because political weight isn't really equal in that case - but one can imagine methods where tactical voting can happen yet the winning candidate always ends up with a majority (e.g. France's 2-stage Presidential elections). In those cases, tactical voting is not a problem to be eliminated.

But how much other economic activity are you limiting and what other products are affected? For example, what about plastic for prototyping and engineering use? Are you going to force products to use higher cost and higher impact materials like brass and aluminum?

The issue is I can't see any of these restrictions accurately reflecting cost. If they could these things would not be a concern.

Any of these suggestions that apply only within a national market are also ineffective, as by their very nature they are going to reduce economic activity in that nation... which will be picked up by someone else who doesn't care. The laws need to take this into account.
That might not be completely fair. In our sister organization, we had a 20 year Java veteran switch his teams to Elixir because he was concerned about Oracle's licensing. Even though it was a misunderstanding, I wouldn't assume "anyone that actually works with Java knows the difference".

Furthermore, it's a little bit of gatekeeping for those who may be entirely new to understand the difference between something like OpenJ9 vs AdoptOpenJdk vs Amazon Corretto.... you get the point.
Youd spot someone missing an apostrophe missing commas, not making things uppercase, or some other, like, bad english.

Beyond that, you get into demonstrating a classical education, with the inference that knowledge of Latin phrases ipso facto means intelligence.

I'm much more likely to trust a source written in Standard English as you'd find in a newspaper, as opposed to a poorly written FB post.
