I’ve noticed something weird moving between hacker news and Twitter safari on my iPhone 7. If I first visit Twitter then in the same tab go to hacker news. The favicon is the Twitter one but the tab says hacker news. This doesn’t work with other sites like google that I tested. It’s quite odd. It’s like the favicon for Twitter overrides the hacker news one for the first page load

>Touch feels nice, but as an American man, I was taught to touch only when necessary, lest the other person find it over the line.

What? You must not watch sports then. High fives. Butt slaps. Chest bumps. etc. In fact, we might even say that there's a big problem with men inappropriately touching people, just look at the next potential Leader of the Free World, they both have a reputation for inappropriate touching. If you can be President of the United States while also "Grab 'em [women] by the pussy", I think we're being taught as men that we can easily get away with inappropriate touching.
Wow, TIL. What the hell?!

Just yesterday I was thinking about some sort of social network where every piece of content is required to link to at least one Wikidata item, OpenStreetMap node, etc. With the right tooling this would get you the "organic hierarchical taxonomy".

I thought it would be an interesting way to make sure the conversations are actually ABOUT something. And it would hopefully encourage contributions to those sorts of open data projects.

Everyone who's ever worked blue collar knows exactly what I mean. These people aren't any more racist or sexist or whatever than anyone else. They're just willing to crack jokes about a hell of a lot of stuff that would make most white collar employees cringe.

In a blue collar work place welders are dumb, electricians are gay, jokes about wives and girlfriends are fair game and a suction cup didlo is a tool of endless comedic potential, not a HR disaster waiting to happen. And the overwhelming majority of the time nobody takes any of that seriously or gets offended by any of it. It's just how the culture is.
I don't think that is fair. It may be true but it isn't fair, and to me, the proper response is to have an absolute zero tolerance policy on this sort of thing. If you are harassing women or really anybody at your workplace you should be fired, and the employer should make it extremely clear that that is their policy. I don't think you should exclude someone from the hiring pool because they have a background in the job they want to do.
Hey Karsinkk, You're right; there is some overlap between Zeta & Decentro.

- Zeta has built its own banking stack, which is geared towards traditional/challenger banks in addition to fintechs. Their current product is heavily focused on prepaid cards [0]

- As Rohit mentioned earlier, we're aiming for switchability and optionality across multiple banks, thus giving companies more power while building their API infrastructure. This will ensure there is no downtime if one of our banking partners is down for any reason.

lol what? i'm sorry but this is IMO A really unrealistic and way too optimistic take. if you look at the trajectories there is no happy hand holding here at the end. both countries cooperate so much as to benefit each other for the time being, but make no mistake they are gunning to be and keep #1.

it's not an overreaction to say that the CCP has been undermining other countries for decades to gain the upperhand. whether that's "justified" is up for debate, but they do what they can to advance their country.

and we're already written off in ways like you mentioned when the US makes world news. the nationalism isn't just some reaction by their citizens to unfairness, it's 100% cultivated by their gov't on purpose.
Why cherrypick numbers? Why ignore the famines (caused by CCP's poor planning) that killed millions?

>It's waste of time to go through the interview process when parties have grossly mismatched expectations about compensation. To save time I usually ask something like "what number would get you interested in this job?"

I can tell that the machine learning community has evolved a visual aesthetic, e.g. GAN interpolations have created images I could not have imagined before.

What’s the Role of Developer Experience in Programming Languages Research?
Yeah, I have seen it too. I have lost the number of times I have had negative interactions with someone only to realise they work in sales. This is not going to 100% accurate but just how I see the parallels between bully/victim culture from high school transforming into workplace. Sales adds value but is also highly rent seeking. The pay for sales executives is no way in proportion to the contribution of you look at it holistically. Because they bring in the “actual” dollars, sales get paid a lot more than the engineers and product people who build the actual product.
Wow! An application that’s still in active use 24 years later. That’s pretty impressive!

I think it would help if we consider US companies potentially equally bad. For example, a US bank has the potential to make a lot of money from our personal data, and should be treated with suspicion just like any foreign company in that position.
I read it all despite my short attention span. Beautifully written study.

I hope to leave productive feedback later.

I do hope people don't miss the point that I think OP was trying to be modest about. This study is not for or against frameworks, it is a detailed and informative reflection of the current state of client JavaScript.
Alexa is super easy to make a skill for (IIRC it's one XML/JSON file hosted somewhere and registered with Amazon). So you could probably make your own with ~IFTTT to scrape the data. Alexa has "daily briefing" which will then go through a list of skills which can include your own [public] skills.

I made an "and finally ..." to add funny news to the end of the daily briefing and was super impressed how easy it was.

I really don't understand how these things can keep happening at the workplace, really I can't understand the thought that goes through some of these guys' heads that makes them think it's OK to do this.

I understand bro culture through and through, I've got a group of friends and we some of the most vile things to one another after work, in private. The thought that we would turn right around and do the same things we do after work at work is untenable.

Like how can you be so effing stupid for lack of a better term. Some will rightly say that the environment reinforces that behavior but even them I'm at a loss. Out of all my guy friends, not one of us would even think of doing something like this.

Surveillance is not fun, it is serious business and doesn't deserve a "fun" culture. I guess from a surveilor business' point of view it is a rather effective way to numb the inner critic of your employees.

I was talking about two-way communications. Maybe you can securely isolate a bus that has the insecure->secure side reduced to super trivial communication. But I won't trust anything that runs multi-layer software stack and a complex communications protocol; from what I've learned about software security, there's always a bug or a backdoor that can be exploited to elevate access or just break the secure-side components.

(This is, of course, entirely my opinion. I haven't seen the code of these systems, but looking from the outside, nothing I've learned makes me feel like I can trust their security.)

For those who are required (or prefer) to use a Chromium-based browser, you might want to give ungoogled-chromium [0] a shot.

I switched recently based on a recommendation from a HN reader, and so far it has been a surprisingly seamless transition. I have yet to encounter any issues aside from being unable to install extensions directly from the Chrome Web Store, which was easily remedied by first installing the chromium-web-store extension [1].

My biggest gripe is that there are no 'official' binaries, so you'd either have to build your own or trust the user-submitted builds, though apparently the project owner is currently working on setting up an official build server [2].

> Organisms are evolved to utilise short life-spans to quickly adapt changing environmental conditions

They don't utilize short life span, but rapid replication

For many organisms short life span is simply a byproduct of their biology, but take an immortal mosquito and its rapidly evolving offspring will adapt as well as the immortal father did.

Of course immortal mosquitos would never be possible because the equilibrium would collapse if too many mosquitos are alive in a limited resources pool

But humans are not mosquitos
Also camping in campsites, hiking on trails, etc is much more sustainable now that there are 9 billion of us. Perhaps a greater sense of conservation?
Lee is a smart guy. But I think his missed one important point: It's not about fees. No it's not even about easy to use.

In China, technically anyone can setup a "business" account on Alipay with just one tap and then start to collect payment right way, the story is completely different if you have to deal with banks. Then with all that, you add the fact that not everybody here uses credit card which raises the bar for credit card adaption up yet again.

I'd recommend people who interested about the related development to checkout the DC/EP project. Which is aimed to be an alternative to Alipay and WeChat Pay, but backed by the banks.

Agreed, "recent photos" should get a response like "showing photos from the last day" and you can say "no, from the last month" and that then will be used to weight similar requests (about photos) in the future (weight mind you, not naively then make all requests for 'recent' by replaced by '1 month').
Then you need to have a speak with someone in HR. (ed: to understand the impact) Attorneys on the other side of the courtroom dream of the payouts such a "comedic" situation would provide.

I get what you are saying, but it just proves that touch is vilified in the western world.

Touch is extremely important for the development of the newborn, and I'm sure it is for the wellbeing of adults; just because we can do without or with less, doesn't mean we shouldn't have it.

Reducing touch is like a social circumcision, a barbarism disguised as serving a good purpose.
It’s even worse. A significant portion of cash back/rewards are financed from fees and interest payments charged to other credit card holders. So in effect, you’re getting money from poorer and/or less responsible people who carry balances and use their cards to get cash advances.
I wonder how much of the delay in FPGA tech adoption is due to the utterly hilarious disaster that are the toolchains. They look like huge brittle proprietary monstrosities, incompatible with modern development methodologies.
This is great. There's so much potential in this market. Congratulations on the launch! I remember another YC-backed Indian startup https://authlayer.com which started out doing what Decentro is doing, but it seems like they've morphed into a DeFi startup. Anyways...

2. Btw, unless I missed something, the website is pretty sparse on any details whatsoever. What's the pricing structure, for example?

3. I am guessing the largest part of your work involves compliance with regulations, is that out of the way already?

4. Do you have SDKs for web and mobile (iOS and Android) or are the APIs raw HTTPS/REST?

5. I'm curious about the regulatory hurdles you faced building such a system for the SAARC/ASEAN market. Any strange ones that stand-out and worth a mention?

You've obviously never worked with large numbers of telecom tower climbers, or linemen, or underground utility contractors. There's a reason for the stereotype of toxic masculinity bro culture.

By no means is it everyone but the percentage that could be categorized as such per 100 persons is definitely higher.

Nah, even ALSA was a needless overcomplicated mess. They should have just built on top of the super simple /dev/dsp. Instead we got new incompatible APIs wile OSS apps were left with requiring exclusive access to your sound card.
The goal isn't really to "help people work in diverse environments". That's just a euphemism. What it really is, is a power grab to push white men out and people of color and ironically also white women in (who can always fall back on their gender to acclaim victim status and oppression).
I grew up with loving parents and siblings, we're still a strong coherent family unit.

Unhealthy competitiveness, inability to be happy with what one currently has, don't believe in ... starting [a] family, these things all apply to me.

Suffice to say, I disagree with your theory of tell tale signs. You've just put people in a box incorrectly.
> The contempt a person must have for their fellow man in order to deem them as unworthy of free speech, is gut wrenching

You don't know me. That you feel I have so much contempt for my "fellow man" because of this disagreement of ours is wild. I may just as well bemoan - in equally bad faith - your contempt for honesty, transparency, or reality.

At no point have I argued that anyone should be prevented from free speech, yet there your accusation sits. My argument that purveyors of socially-distributed content have some level of responsibility for the real-world impacts this creates, particularly on marginalized communities that are often not sharing/consuming this information and only victimized by it. Did I say anyone should be prevented from expressing themselves? No. Neither do I offer solutions because I am not an expert. But I don't believe a completely "hands-free" approach is viable because of how easy it is to manipulate content, trick people, and use tricks to ensure your message is spread in non-natural ways (e.g., bot farms). That is not "contempt" for the intellectual prowess of others, it's a recognition of the reality we've already seen; I'm not immune to it and neither are you.

I find your seemingly dogmatic belief well-intentioned (a courtesy you certainly did not apply to me) yet naive, hopeful but damaging. I believe - wholeheartedly - that the position I take is much more respectful of people and communities than yours. Because I'm not taking an ivory tower principled stand as if there are no real world implications. There have been, there are, there will be.

Maybe I'm wrong. I'm willing to admit that. But this isn't merely an intellectual exercise for me as I feel it often is for so many.
> is this something that literally anyone asked for

Google executives probably. This is what you get when you hand control of the entire web platform over to an ad company. And the only way to stop it is to depose Chrome as the dominant platform.

And no, that does not mean switch to Brave or Edge. Chrome forks by and large fall in line with Chrome's choices. Firefox or Safari are the only choices.
I don't have any particular knowledge of this company (although at a glance, I probably hate them?). But at a glance I think people don't have a good sense for sales. I've seen maybe a dozen small-mid size company sales operations. Many sales cultures are pretty insane. Many hires don't have much experience or just kind of end up in sales. Sales groups tend to be run extremely competitively against themselves, with high compensation that would likely surprise outsiders, especially for people with no paper credentials that say they're skilled. It's common to find yourself with a bunch of 20 year olds suddenly being told their gods gift and it's not really that surprising when they go cocky with their power, not unlike tech bros in similar situations.
