I gather you have not been to a Google all hands in a while?

IMO, part of the issue here is they made open communication part of the culture early on, and then cut if off, causing shock/backlash.
I had a horrible experience interviewing with Canonical. I cleared all the rounds and impressed everyone, and the manager asked me to state what salary I'd like. It was a remote role, and I'm based in India.

The manager called me and he said everyone was super impressed with my performance in the interviews and wanted to know what Salary I was expecting.

My first question to him was do you have regional salaries. He said no. Canonical pays global salaries.

I'm a fairly good SDE2 who's almost at an SDE3 level. I've given talks at PyCon India and the local Python Meetup group, where I also conduct workshops and seminars on topics ranging from security to web application design and python internals.

So I told him that a salary between 100 and 125K USD would be good.

He said 110 would be doable. He said any higher and the management would have issues. I was prepared to hear him negotiate till 75K mind you. I was super elated.

Two days later I get a form rejection letter saying I was passed on. I reached out to the manager and he said I asked for too much for my experience.

I specifically had asked him for his budget and what the role could pay, but he pretended that he could afford whatever I asked for. This leaves me with two thoughts.

1. The manager was unaware of his own budget and didn't know if his company even had regional salaries or not.
2. The company is looking to low ball people from cheaper countries even if they're a great developers.

Tell me again why people should apply to Canonical?
Because there is an existing large class of people (2 in 3 Americans) who have acted based on the idea that housing is a market and have bought a home on that basis. They have no interest in altering the status quo. To add to that, you can't choose what housing is priced by unless you have government price controls and that is a cure that's worse than the disease.
This is brutal. No easy answers here. The affiliate economy is rife with spam and will continue to deteriorate. My recommendation to content creators is to become explicitly ad supported, i.e find real companies to sponsor your site, not plug in a network, or to find a paid membership. Both are harder, but both are more sustainable.
Lmao "independent contractors"
Information security is not a matter of secure or not-secure. Throughout history, it has always been a matter of available resources and risk management.

Failing to consider security in terms of resources and risk leads to moments like this. The crushing fear that you're not doing enough, never doing enough, never sure enough...

It's a bottomless pit of anxiety. You can always add on more protections, more tools, and more layers. Your anxiety is never really soothed because you can never actually fully banish risk.

As long as you conceive of information security as deterministic or binary, you're going to struggle.
Quite cool! This reminds me of other homemade memristor endeavours that have been presented:

Do this a couple of times, plot the locations, and you'll see a subset of the town's map. You might be able to identify prominent shapes like interestingly shaped roads or bridges. Then drag the points layer so that the roads/bridges etc align.
I see HN asking all the right questions.
> Living wage based on locally inflated housing prices is just fundamentally broken concept. It is just ideological cover for wealth transfer from productive economy to landlords (by focusing on 'living wage' based on market housing costs and not on 'affordable rents' based on market wages).

Man, this is painfully true. Until California can decide between housing being affordable and housing being an asset that is guaranteed to increase in value 10% every year (which is what we've decided for the moment) every increase in wages is just going to be an additional subsidy for the top 1%.
So in the article, the author was able to find the x- and y- coordinates of the other user. What if the target user lives in a high rise building, is there any technique you can get the height of the said user? Makes me wonder how the law enforcement is able to tri-angulate the suspect's exact location.
A way to publish information (mainly the "About" rant) written in languages other than English may boost adoption.
The UFCW sounds really weak in this article. When I worked for Pavilions twenty-five years ago, it was a closed shop and the union was protective of any attempt to change that. Allowing an entire segment of employees to be replaced with independent contractors seems to set the stage for other groups of employees, perhaps cashiers, to also be replaced with contractors. Grocery delivery isn't something new for Pavilions. They offered it at least as far back as the mid 1990s and maybe all the way back to their opening day as a premium-service grocery store.

It doesn't have to be bullshit. You have a sample size of 1 and realistically we can't expect 100% accuracy. We also don't know how often your IP is changing - maybe it was a proxy endpoint recently?
To add my voice to the ever-growing chorus: I'm in a similar situation, except in this case despite my still having session cookies stored on several devices, all of which were logged-out simultaneously, it's requiring a new phone number. When I eventually gave one grudgingly (one used on most of the other accounts listed along side this account in Google's account switcher), it still tells me I'm locked out and to "try again later".

It's been about a month.

I have a very short list of companies, the collapse of which I'd celebrate with a party, and Google is vying very successfully for that top spot against some pretty reprehensible competitors.
If they can, then either Facebook boldly lied about implementing end-to-end encryption[0], or found significant attack against the Signal protocol, which is considered quite safe.

They do have access to the metadata, i.e. whom you messaged and when.

Source? I could only find one 2020 poll on FiveThirtyEight that didn't have McConnell in the lead. In that one, his opponent only had a 1% lead, and in most of the other ones McConnell led by 5+ points. That's a far cry from "nearly the entire state of Kentucky" wanting him out.

Singapore has some pretty nice public housing. If there was a government policy that any time median rents climb above X, the state will procure land and build housing until it drops below that number again, it might be more workable than the blunt instrument of price caps.

WhatsApp lets you upload your chat history to either icloud or google's cloud offerings. Those backups are accessible to Apple/Google. Many people have enabled it, so if you are in any decently sized group chat you can basically assume it's available to Apple/Google, the people who hack them, and whomever they have data sharing contracts with.

Personally I use Telegram because they don't mind non-official clients like the FOSS builds. Whatsapp on the other hand is known to ban non-official clients. API access isn't available either unless you are a big corporate user, at which point you need a facebook ads account and cooperate with some API reseller... no joke lol.

This is absolutely fascinating. This could be something quite ground breaking.
Which dark patterns exactly?

I didn’t know that the described functionality even exists, and it is off on my phone. TG is one of the apps that implements 0 dark patterns, imo.

By comparison, whatsapp regularily tries to cloud-ize me by making a backup and re-enter my personal data. I just tap “never”, “done” once a month, but it is annoying af when it happens at the incoming call. It also forced users to enter a status (but there was a bug that allowed to enter empty one). And if you have a sim-less device, it is such pita to install it there. No updates will be available, ofc.
I'm locked out of a Google account I configured without a phone number. It won't let me reset to email, and when I provide a new number it does no good.

The capriciousness that one often finds on a company like Google that means whatever they allow now isn't necessarily going to be honored in six months.
From the same article:

Don't worry, someone would bitch about Medium
My take on the site by the author - he's great at the tech side of websites, and SEO, but needs to go more in-depth on his articles. The Wirecutter, Healthline, NY Mag Strategist are the baseline now - high quality, in-depth articles.

If small sites want to compete they have to specialize and go deep - it's hard to beat incumbents at the thing they've been doing for decades - and with paid staff/journalists writing the articles!

It's not so much the tech side of SEO, it's about the content.
Not really. Gray codes are designed so that if you're counting correctly, only one bit flips at a time. But if you flip the wrong bit by accident, you'll end up with a completely different number, no way to tell a problem happened.

If you want to detect a bit flip, use parity.

And China did not do away with the local elections, nor have they plans to do so. The 2014 proposal was to allow more options for electing the Chief Executive.

Local elections also exist on the mainland.

Anyway, this is still irrelevant. The point still stands: the above doesn’t indicate in any way that China is an expansionist invader out to crush democracy.

And we can't vaccinate our population in an efficient manner either.
As others have said in this thread and in many other places, the minimum wage does not really correspond to the wage required to live a comfortable and dignified life. It is merely the least amount of money an employer can pay an employee without it being illegal, and has very little to do with the cost of living.

If I seem argumentative, it is because I am exasperated with the gymnastics that people will do in order to justify the conscription of more and more people into precarious existences under a gig economy, which largely benefits people at the top of the economic ladder at the expense of those at the bottom.

Something I don't understand – everyone online is fuming that these drivers will lose health insurance and other benefits, but wasn't the point of prop 22 that DoorDash (and others) will have to provide these benefits to their drivers regardless?

“they've already been implemented” - meaning validated by others. the notion that an idea has to be unique is silly. if every business idea worked that way we’d only ever have one jeans maker, one car maker, one social network and one bottle shape. ideas dont need to be “unique”. they do need to vary as different people have different expectations from similar products.

“wouldn't have a large market” - a billion dollar idea is not the only idea that should be chased. a corner shop owner can earn more than an office worker dreaming about becoming the next elon musk. as do thousands of nice products.

I am a huge fan of public housing, not least because of the fact that I think that in the absence of a Land Value Tax, the state owning a large amount of land in high-growth regions is important for the public to diminish the impact of rent-seeking.

However, the practice of this is that these governments are highly corrupt, and usually conspire to use the mechanism of public housing as primarily a means to enrich themselves through the proxy of their construction contractors.

Look no farther than Dianne Feinstein and Tutor Perini.

My somewhat educated guess would be that, firstly, cell tower triangulation includes altitude by necessity of measuring directly the reach of electromagnetic waves, whereas Telegram advertises the subset of users' GPS data that they choose to advertise, which is likely just lat-long. Secondly, law enforcement also likely has the cooperation of the administration of said high-rise building.

Depending how it works, probably not. If it's just a rounded value computed from the distance, you'd just have to do a small amount more spoofed queries. Each one would give you a thin donut of possible locations instead of a circle, if that's easy to picture. So ~3 attempts would usually give you a quite small area, and then you could narrow it arbitrarily from there.
