Good point, and thank you. The relevant pieces that I had remembered were that there was a police raid for a non-violent crime, and was emphasizing that that is not an urgent issue. It's the same way that if you see police lights pulling you over on a deserted road, you should call to verify that it is a legitimate officer.
The head of HR was Carrie Olesen, who doesn't seem like she had any odd political affiliations:

However, it's worth noting that the statement says "resigned from GitHub," and she was at Microsoft before the acquisition and moved to GitHub. I wonder if it means she's still with Microsoft. Maybe I'm reading too much into it.
While this is possible, it does require significantly more effort on the part of the attacker and there are many more points of failure. So I'm guessing most phishing sites don't actually do that, even though of course some do.

That single fact that I have to share my phone number to everyone (I want to chat with) in Signal is enough for me to don't even think about installing it.
All of the training

What the? Why‽ It is easy to recover from any upset in VFR when you see the horizon. Doing it with no reference is much harder. And often causes crashes, eg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_Airlines_Flight_604
Some of these features are using SGX, which is why people dismiss them. Using SGX is still better than nothing, and there's no better alternative given the simplicity goals of Signal (e.g. selecting manually which of your contacts has Signal is not an option).
Apple dongles normally work really well, which combines with the RDF to make people not believe stories like this until it happens to them.

Paraphrasing what I said in another comment, dongles are flaky. If yours aren't, congratulations, but that doesn't mean other people are lying or that they don't know how things work.
My biggest wish would be for them to embrace standard display adapter technology and stick with usb c. I have a lot of thunderbolt docks that only work on Windows because of Apple’s outright refusal to support MST [1]. I recently switched to a Mac for work and this has been a major pain for my docking setup. Funny enough, it all works fine if you bootcamp your Mac since Windows supports MST.

Ask HN: How do I generate leads for my software consultancy business?
Currently I've got a strong base of clients via word of mouth and using my small network of local business owners. I'm now looking to expand, but often people don't really know they need a software consultancy to help until they have the specific way in which software can solve their particular problem explained.

Maybe naively this rules out Facebook marketing, email, Google ads and those channels. I appreciate the question is quite open ended, but wonder if there's anything I've missed.

As long as Signal is really open source, I don't see why Matrix couldn't just add connecting to signal servers in the client itself instead of creating bridges or a common protocol. The only thing Moxie can do is to make Signal closed source, or constantly break the signal protocol on purpose and force everybody to upgrade their signal and telegram apps.

Also I tried Matrix, and it started asking questions from me instead of showing my friend list, so it already failed being a competitor to WhatsApp. The only question it should ask is to get permission to access my contact list.

I know that interopability is very hard to do, and having multiple clients in 1 app is boring work (especially with features like voice and video calling), but it would be amazing.
The article is obtuse.

Jewish employee warns coworkers in Slack about nazis at the Jan. 6th protest in DC. Some other employees complain about the characterization of the protestors/rioters/insurrectionists/nazis/whatever and contact HR. Jewish employee is fired.

What about getting a National Security Letter from the US government?

A case by case basis, limited in reach, for only a small subset of companies, and overseen by the Justice Department.

In no way comparable to the Chinese law, which mandates every bit of every company to be surrendered to the state, on demand, without questions.

And the recent Ma/Ali affair should tell you the vast difference in state reach.

That there are no private American companies, only American subsidiaries.

Again, absurd comparison because the above.

And if you’re just a small private company that runs a noodle restaurant, then I highly doubt that the CCP really gives a damn about your company. What are they going to monitor? What magic ingredients you put into your soup?

It doesn't matter. See above.

I'm not sure what to say. If an adult made a joke like this -- especially in a workplace -- I would assume they have some sort of developmental disorder. I understand that assumption might be wrong and that in any case I'm not qualified to make a determination, but... I've literally never met a normal and functioning adult who laughs at jokes like these.

Echoing this. GCP support is responsive and fairly effective. It’s a bit expensive, but that is a different matter.

This comes up on HN periodically, and I think folks have very mistaken assumptions about GCP based on Google’s reputation for poor or non-existent support on free consumer-facing services like gmail; GCP and Gsuite are very much serious enterprise services.
Yes, we don't take calling anyone "Nazi" lightly. Well, at least level-headed people don't.

It's disrespectful to the people who were imprisoned, tortured and exterminated by the real Nazis.

> He posted the message on January 6th, the day of the insurrection in Washington DC, as rioters associated with neo-Nazi organizations stormed the Capito

The problem I have with tabloid like sites like The Verge is that they just make statements as if it's obvious fact. I've loosely followed the attacks on the capitol but I've never heard anything credible that this was a neo-Nazi organized riot and the article never establishes this claim

The firing seems extreme but whether it's the word Nazi or Commie being thrown around, it sounds like a pretty unhealthy work environment
Could you explain your second sentence a bit further?
Agility, sure, but don't confuse agility with agile
You're understandably thinking of Google's track record with many of its other products that were discontinued. However, most of those products were "free" to the user, and as such Google had no real obligation to its customers.

GCP is a very different kind of product. Customers pay for it directly, and often their business depends on it. It's covered by all sorts of contractual agreements, including service level agreements. It's backed by a great deal of physical hardware around the world that Google wouldn't otherwise need. Its revenue is growing fast, currently over $12 billion/year. That's revenue from customers paying it directly. In Q2 2020 it had 43% growth, even though Alphabet had its first quarterly revenue drop.

It's not the kind of thing they're going to dump on a whim, and if they did decide to exit that space, it would most likely be by letting another company acquire it, since it would be hugely expensive to just drop it.
I don’t think there’s an obsession with Apple so much as there is an obsession with the minimalism and an alignment of the design goals into an ecosystem that Apple has demonstrated.
Op-amps are an interesting and vital part of electronics as we know it; however, op-amps are typically very sensitive and frail (with respect to amperage/voltage limits).

I was thinking more along the lines of gas/plasma tubes, which, on the low end, could be a common fluorescent light bulb (albeit one with modified current limitation circuitry), to large radio (and other types) of gas/discharge tubes on the high end...

But, that being said, there's certainly nothing wrong with op-amps...
Most people profoundly do not understand or care about the vagaries of how their messaging is encrypted.

They do care about SMS fees, especially across international borders.

They do care about sending group texts between Android and iOS and not having things go slowly haywire as messages don’t come across.

They do care about sending messages over wifi if they’re somewhere without a cell signal. (OK, bit of a Canadian thing, but the cottage has wifi and no cell signal.)
Really??? Which borders? What seperates Germany from France from Turkey? Why not throw all of them together.

Why not go all the way, and add Russia to the mix? Do you foresee this being practical in the real world?

Which takes us back to my original comment on the OP's post, whom decry'ed nationalism as evil. And me saying that statement as being too simplistic a take on reality.
> 2FA absolutely will protect you from a phishing site using the password it stole.

That's assuming one used a different password for the email or mobile provider.
If you read the full sentence in the article, you will note that it continues by saying that the label is "slandering." Something has to be untrue for it to be slander. Therefore, by saying that labeling people in the crowd as Nazis is slander, it denies that there were Nazis in the crowd.
It was like that with VGA and now it's not. It may not change in 5 years - it took longer for VGA to finish dying.
If your analogy held true, we would all be here in America imitating a native American culture. My guess is that isn't the culture you are advocating should be adopted by your house guests.

Maybe a magsafe like adapter for usb-c then

That would be my preferred solution. USB-C port on the laptop, small MagSafe adapter, and then the charge cord with the other half of the MagSafe.
It’s so that engineering orgs can get you to work from home in addition to the workplace. They force you to take the laptop with you and then will try to make you work from home.

That is the only reason. Everything else is just seasoning.
>> There's no evidence that the accusations were false

> This is quite the comment; do you need evidence to prove someone's innocence?

I didn't say whether they were innocent or guilty; you can see above what I said. As the charges and evidence were never heard in a public forum, we don't know much about them.

I think the rest of the parent comment reinforces my view about the power of the communications machine aligned against one woman with few resources and a local DA.
The value of a given port corresponds to the ubiquity and lifespan of the things that plug into it. HDMI is not going anywhere in the corporate world for the forseeable future. As for MagSafe, as long as they keep some USB-C ports you will presumably be able to charge that way too.
It wasn't neo-Nazis that stormed the capital, but QAnon/MAGA. They're distinct groups. The Verge definitely has a reporting bias here because it's easier to clickbait about the former.
The most common response is often working from a coffee shop or plane. I dont understand those either, how can you concentrate in a coffee shop? How many flights do you really take? - get a book.

All that is required is that they phish in real-time or automate the attack. These attacks are not uncommon in the wild. MITM’ing three fields in a login page is not much harder than writing two fields to a DB. And it’s basically trivial to do it over the phone.

It launches a fairly simple interactive text UI that allows you to select files to stage, and it allows one to "patch" into the staging area, which works by showing you a bunch of hunks, asking for each if you want to stage it (or you can even edit a hunk in your $EDITOR).

I'm sure it's not nearly as nice as Magit's UI, but I've been a happy user of this feature for a while.

SD card support is largely meaningless to high-end professionals, few use memory cards and even fewer would bother with a built-in reader in professional work. There’s tethering (wired or wireless) for studio photography, cameras with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for when you’re on the go, high-speed SSDs or CFexpress cards for 8K 10-bit footage, etc.

Hobbyists, vloggers, even mid-range professionals (wedding photographers et al.) might use SD cards, but that’s pretty far from high end.

> I feel like Signal is held to a ridiculously high bar when it comes to anything.

Maybe I can help:

I feel Signal is doing a lot right and if I need to send a message right now and be 99.999% sure nobody except the recipient can read it, Signal is my choice.

My criticism is mainly directed not at Signal, but at the people trying to promote Signal by trying to trash every other messaging technology.

The reason is that until Signal solves:

- backups

- stable API available for everyone (I don't think they have one)

- bots (I mean a bot API for creating bots)

- large groups

- a number of ux issues

- and allow armed forces and other groups that need it to run their own servers

... until then there will be room for other messaging solutions.

I'll take it a step further:

- if you would be happy to stuff it in a physical envelope

- or send it by email

- and you don't hold a grudge against Facebook or are willing to live with the thought of FB knowing who you talk to and when

then you can safely send it by any messaging service.

Fighting about which just keeps people using sms or email, both trivially interceptable by a number of parties.

TLDR:

1. Signal is fine, excellent AFAIK

2. there's room for other messaging services as well

3. one doesn't make Signal better by trying to trash other messaging solutions

That's your anecdotal evidence from the people you know. That's how many?

While my own anecdotal evidence of our family would corroborate what you're saying, the article gives some pretty good anecdotal counter evidence of "the long-term shift to SUVs and pickup trucks doesn't help", which I am definitely seeing with friends and colleagues. There are so many people that don't actually know what their car costs them, because all they look for is the weekly payment. Sure, it's just a hundred bucks or something. But it's per week. Over 96 months. For a used car off a 3 year lease. That is effing expensive!

So if we assume that the article is actually based on a much much larger sample I would tend to believe them more than our two anecdata.
The sentiment ranges should be normalized. As-is, at a glance, it looks like HN loves Microsoft (very yellow!) and hates Amazon (so blue!), when in fact Microsoft's sentiment scale maxes out at a value below the minimum of Amazon's sentiment scale.

(Also, I'm assuming higher value = more positive, but who knows?)
I worded that poorly. I meant full-time students (as in they're not just reading about something out of curiosity while sitting on the toilet) that read literature as a part of their job.
I am presented with one hunk at a time, and have to decide if I want to stage or not (with a text "menu" underneath it: "(2/2) Stage this hunk [y,n,q,a,d,k,K,g,/,e,?]?"

And then I navigate with j/k (down/up).

Yes, it does the job. Matter of preference.

But if you worked eagerly on three / four different topics and try next to create several different commits by getting a visual overview of all hunks with the abilitiy to selectively stage is a little more comfortable.

"They are private companies, they can do what they want!"
The need for frugality depends on where the underlying leverage of the business comes from. If your leverage involves a large capital pool - maybe you need equipment or facilities - you're gonna have to spend. And if you intend to recruit and keep top talent in the field, your spending has to bias towards keeping them happy. In those senses, you can't afford to be frugal.

But once you have the outline of the budget, you can look at it and say, "well, we aren't using that, actually". It's just really dangerous to go in doing that first thing, since it takes possibilities off the table and locks you and your staff into the logic of the balance sheet, and in businesses where growth can scale immensely, you have different ways to save at different scales.
