When I was an undergrad I applied to Stripe several times with a FANG on my resume as well without any responses.

Two reasons for that are:

1) I went to a state school (NC State)

2) The FANG in question was Amazon, which I don't think they "count". I have friends that applied when they decided to leave Amazon and they didn't get interviews either.

If your FAANG was Amazon I'm guessing you're in the same boat.

I didn’t think several months of riots in Portland, Kenosha, Atlanta, Washington D.C. and other cities had been debunked by such esteemed fact-checkers as snopes.

There have been a number of people arrested for arson with regard to brush fires. Google turned up this for me https://nypost.com/2020/09/20/six-accused-of-starting-oregon...

I think it would be premature to conclusively say what the motive of every case of the wanton destruction of our forests may be. However, I’m very impressed that the oracles at snopes were able to divine the motives of these actors prior to arrests, trials or even public statements. I bet they clean up at the lottery!
> You can have downtime

This is where you might be misunderstanding. Downtime shouldn't be to engage in more stressful mental activity. Think about it. Go to the gym. Study for a big exam. Are you really engaged on the goals of a gym? Are you really engaged in getting a good grade on an exam? If you are, you are finite and I highly suspect that the high performers aren't going to try and add more stress on their lives (political or anything else). I'm suggesting they aren't sweating enough at the gym. I'm suggesting they aren't working hard enough. I'm not suggesting that they're a slave. I'm not suggesting they are a wage slave.

I'm suggesting they are more likely to be working in a half-assed way and don't have a 'buy-in' to the company's objectives. Which tends to be true based on numerous business management studies (since at least the 1970s that I've read).

Hard workers want enjoyable leisure. Not pissing off a Karen. Or dealing with a Greg. This is a toxic mindset that doesn't make any sense.

P.S. There is also another variable. That some people are closed minded but, imho, that can be overcome with good soft skills of a good manager/vision/buy-in.
> Then, the question is whether these choices of where to put the parameter reflect any creativity.

Interesting. This argument seems to imply that languages are copyrightable based upon creativity in ordering, punctuation, use of certain expressions such as `&`, etc. How is that different from your example? In fact a computer language itself is nothing but an API to a human-readable specification for machine behavior. I can see the specification being a creative work and hence being patentable. I don't see the same for the API code.

I'll have to think more about it. I can't offer a more substantive counter-argument now.

You get a bright talented individual by offering 1000 ample nutrition and educational opportunities historically with computer tech you give people the opportunity to learn and play with it from an early age.

Most nations educate millions to 10s of millions in order to get their doctors, scientists, software developers, leaders. Someone who educates merely thousands of the kids of new rich kids selected primarily from the ranks of the lowest echelons of society a century OK is poorly positioned to be the best in any field.

In principle I would say you are right, but it is actually a far greater hassle to make (or keep) a facebook account than some generic account.
I agree with you, I'm only logged into my work FB account on my personal device, however I'm also a power user (and I'm guessing you are too) so I don't think our experiences can extrapolate out to the population as a whole. Sure 7B people don't have FB, but are you trying to invite 7B people to your event or business? Not really; you're probably trying to target a very specific kind of person, or a group of people you already know. In that case you can just do some surveying / focus group'ing to figure out what people already use and push your content on the platforms that cover the majority of users (which in most cases, I'm guessing, would include FB).

Show HN: Fully client-side pronounceable password generator
Doctor Who is also wrong about magic and time travel existing, but it's a fantasy show so it doesn't matter.
Background: There are a lot of pronounceable password generators floating around online, but there are a handful of issues I've found: 1) many do the actual work on the server side 2) many use RNGs that aren't really meant for cryptographic use 3) many blindly follow a pattern like CVCCVC which is both more predictable and less "pronounceable" (something like "xuq" perhaps has a pronunciation but it's not so obvious).

I initially started this up by just having a Japanese syllabary and using Crypto.getRandomValues() to shuffle the syllables, but with some thought I came up with the idea of building a Markov chain from an English dictionary and using that to produce more English-like results with less predictable patterns. Once I'd done all that it wasn't much effort to throw in support for pass phrases and classic line-noise passwords, so those are in here too. I am also using zxcvbn to evaluate password strength (since with certain options you can end up making a fairly weak password).

There are plenty of offline tools that have all these features but I haven't found many online ones, and from what I've found my approach produces more convincing fake English words than others I've tried.
wow. TIL
Do you mean issues like those found here? It's pretty embarrasing and negligent.
> Would you find it unusual or outlandish for a law to place contractors employed by the government in the category

The category isn't really the important part here. I don't care about definitions. Instead, I care about the actual real world effect. Th semantics is not important here.

So, no, I would not find it unusual for a law to have the real world effect of preventing the government from hiring a repair company that discriminates on the basis of race.

And whether or not those laws reflect the definitions of words, as defined by some webster dictionary here, is not the important part of the debate about whether we ought or ought not have certain laws.

Instead what matters is the actual effect of those laws.
I encourage all to look at the DNS hosting records for fbi.gov. They are bizarre. There is a big identity question with who the FBI is right now. I'm not confident any unit or person is from the FBI until I see strong evidence / identification they bring with them.

A good example is how more and more subdomains keep slipping behind CloudFlare. Those could be hosted anywhere.

Another example, which I spoke to the FBI Los Angeles office this morning about, is Infragard Los Angeles. They literally have subdomains hosted in mainland China. What is going on here? [1]

We need to remember that United States is for those who would be free, and the state exists to protect the rights of the individual. Americans value liberty over the illusion of security, and understand that freedom is the best possible security.

Freedom is for the brave. For those who aren't, they have the entire rest of the universe that doesn't exist for the sole purpose of defending the rights of the individual.

The only legitimate role of any government (but officially recognized in the US) is to defend the rights of the individual.

The difference is that for installers, you've discovered and been distributed the software by an entity other than Microsoft, and you're not paying for the curation process. Consequently, it's easy to mess up a Windows system by running a random malicious installer.

Microsoft also offers an app store, and even a way to restrict Windows to only running software from that app store (S mode), but they take the somewhat-standard 30%. One nice thing they do that I think Apple should adopt is taking a smaller cut if you visited the store through a web link (meaning Microsoft didn't provide the "discovery" and thus shouldn't be compensated for it).
> i freaking haaaaate missing a dose

I'm not trying to minimize your experience. I'm just trying to provide a more accurate framework on what's more statistically likely to occur within a population. That's all. Since others tend to be ignorant of the scientific facts on how this issue distributes among a population.
It's not about skills, it's about priorities.

Their job is to make money; they don't care, and they are not paid to care about anything else.

Now... the question is, does someone with a different background care about the company vs making money in different proportions to the set of 'expert business administrators'?

I posit that yes, someone with a different background will have different priorities to simply 'make as much money as possible right now'.

Maybe even a chef.

It’s too late. Much of that extra savings on fraud protection has already been funneled back to the card owner in the form of cash back or reward points. Not a whole lot can be done to break that unless the government comes in and legislates something as they do in Europe.
> most common software

Maybe it is different this time because well for one Intel and AMD are on the same architecture

but more importantly for arm or other platform, maybe this time is different because the servers mostly run on open source software. Given the potential revenue, I'd imagine it should be pretty straightforward to port common server software to any architecture if it isn't already?
The complaint does not require a monopoly on either side. It formalizes the reason you don't like the FB login requirement.

It is abuse of market power on both sides of the FB/Oculus coin to enforce use of their ecosystem. The market power of FB is obvious, so even if they are using it only to drive a few more ppl to create FB accts by buying Oculus, it is an abuse. Doesn't require Oculus to have much power.

Considering FB & Zuckerberg's long history of abusing privacy, predating even Facebook back to Facemash (which scraped Harvard students' photos from an online directory and set students to rank for hotness), and then Zuck either saying "sorry" or attempting to rewrite history, it seems the House is on the right track here.
Well, the idea is that you render the first pass of the SPA and serve that HTML to the client. Rather than just injecting the data into the SPA source code, you inject the data and render the page, and then serve that page. Then whatever changes the user makes to the page after that initial load gets handled by the SPA. This way the user avoids having to wait for the SPA and all its dependencies to load before the page can even appear, and the developer doesn't have to differentiate between what happens on the client side and server side (remember using PHP to inject variables into JS source code?) because they can just bake it into their SPA.

I don't think that's what Kavanaugh was doing. If you're thinking of taking those 83 into account in your ruling, but you aren't exactly sure that they're solid, you ask a question: Hey, Google, explain to me why these are important. It doesn't mean that he's dismissing them. It is at least as likely that he's considering relying on them, and wants to have a solid justification for doing so. (Remember, Oracle also claimed that the world would end if the court decided for Google.)
I'll have to read on this further. Thanks for the references.

> The Baker precedent says that the parts of a design that are strictly essential to its function are not copyrightable.

Since all parts of the API code are strictly essential to its function than they are not copyrightable, right? The parts that are not essential to its function lie in the behavior of the system in question instead of the API code, this behavior is codified in the specification of the system. The specification of the system isn't the same as the API code. I think this is a very compact form of what I was trying to convey in my other replies on the thread.
Agreed. If I want to talk to you, we can do that once we discuss why you called. I know you really aren't interested in what you are asking me, you are getting ready to ask me the real question.
Ah, you mean system errors, not application-level errors. App errors are handled the normal way.

I usually try to avoid 500 and 400 errors in my applications, but for something like a network error, that obviously has to be handled client-side since, well, the server isn't available.

So you can write a three liner to handle it:

htmx.on("htmx:onLoadError", function(evt) {
htmx.find("#error-div").innerHTML = "A network error occured..."; // or whatever
}

This isn't code that would be hit regularly, unless your application or the network is in pretty bad shape.
> My point was more that the people who join the military cosplay organizations tend to be the type to fantasize about being allowed to do violence against their fellow human. The police have no need to fantasize about that privilege.

On the other hand, people that fantasize about the privilege do tend to try to join the police, and may not leave the other organizations they joined previously when they succeed.
Not sure I get the outrage to this one. Do you anticipate typing private info, backspacing, then replacing it with some bland query about switching internet plans? The only time I might have minded true real-time chat was in grade school talking to girls I fancied, but other than that, it makes a lot of sense. Saves time for the support agent and if they get a computer illiterate customer typing at 1 WPM who doesn't know to use enter to send, they can at least try to help.

Now, if it were a normal web form, I'd feel differently, but if I've opened a support chat session, it's because I want to send the things I type to support.

> this is not an HN problem, but a perennial challenge of any large community.

It seems to be many people could agree on this. When a community grows, most of the time old members would start to struggle about the problem.

I wonder, could there be a design where it is a typical community, then when enough old or hardcore members realized this and believe this is no good it would trigger a threshold, they can vote to fork or diverge to a new community? This is a repeatable process, and then there would be multiple communities with different vibes where everyone can enjoy.

Right so Apple is doing something I didn't ask of it to do, and then saying I'm not allowed to distribute and provide discovery for my own applications. And then charging me for it doing this.

I don't mind Apple doing whatever they want with their own store, I have an issue with them dictating that their own store is the ONLY way to use an iPhone.
> The report states that, “conditioning access to a product or service in which a firm has market power to the use of a separate product or service is anticompetitive.”

I agree with this. I shouldn’t have to have a social media account in order to use a product that isn’t directly related to social media.

Accounts like Microsoft aren’t the same as Facebook IMO because they tie products and services I’ve purchased to my account, which I believe is a reasonable and relevant use of an online account in this context. Facebook doesn’t do any of that, nor does it exist to manage purchases of products or services I’ve made. It exists to siphon personal data about me to serve me ads.

If we’re serious about things like privacy, then we have to be equally serious about corporate attempts to coerce consumers into handing over data to use completely unrelated products. This is absolutely anti-privacy and should be dealt with.

I DV'd after reading the first three sentences. DNS records are not ample evidence that a government organization's identity is in question. I can think of a lot of reasons why the records would be so diverse.

So to me this is not only illogical, irrational, and invalid on its face, but it's also muddying already-muddy waters while failing to meet that qualitative standard. By all means update us again when there's more credible evidence.
>Among the special powers granted exclusively to the FBI under a Reagan-era executive order (No. 12333) are authorizations to conduct “unconsented physical searches” and “physical surveillance” for intelligence purposes in the US. The Supreme Court has held that the Fourth Amendment generally requires law enforcement agencies to obtain a warrant before searching cell phone data, but there is an exception for “exigent circumstances,” which is supposed to apply only to extreme situations in which lives are in danger.

It seems like a clear cut abuse of power. These aren't exigent circumstances, they're protests, and besides that it's not a federal problem. It seems like the 4th amendment doesn't have any power any more.
This article seems highly misleading in its conclusions. For example, quoting, "initial exploitation of phones, or other communication devices" without any of the context in the e-mail makes it appear far worse than what seems to have taken place.

The context for that quote, is that an individual was arrested for Misdemeanor Assault on a federal officer, specifically due to shining laser pointers at their eyes. Upon physical search of the individual, it was found he was, "carrying a machete, a large mortar firework and a section of galvanized pipe with endcaps and fuze assembly". Lastly, and likely most importantly, the individual consented to his phone being searched.

Now, to the original quote: "CTD is sending Fly Team Agents to cover the interviews of individuals arrested during the night and early-morning hours this weekend. They will also conduct initial exploitation of phones, or other communication devices they are carrying. These Agents may uncover a situation like the one described in the previous paragraph...".

There is nothing in here that implies they intended to search the phones without a search warrant of consent. Law enforcement officals do not make it a routine matter to specify, "They will also conduct initial exploitation of phones, or other communication devices they are carrying once they have a search warrant or consent from the individual". That would be equivalent to me saying to a SWE, "I need you to go and complete X task", then qualifying it with, "and make sure you do x, y, z, a, b, c task that I already know you know and were taught to do".

The title of this article should really read, "FBI Team Sent to 'Exploit' Criminal's Phones in Portland". The fact that the individual(s) also happened to be protestors, is really irrelevant and highly connotative. There is nothing in the First Amendment that gives someone the right to threaten and/or carry out actual violence against another individual, nor should it allow for that. Not to mention, there are specific Federal statutes regarding assault against federal officials.

Frankly, if I was a protestor exercising my First Amendment rights, I'd be pissed that someone was carrying what appears to be a pipe-bomb to what was supposed to be a peaceful protest.
