Another one here who is really not that great at it. I also find my interest in getting better at it waning by the day, because I know I'll still be mediocre no matter how hard I try.

Obviously false. TenCent controls Epic’s access to the Chinese market, which is much larger than the iOS market has ever been for Epic.
His experiences check out. It was the thesis behind Dirty Jobs and now www.mikeroweworks.org - there is value in all kinds of work. There is value in having a passion to do a job and do a job well, even if it's a job that everyone else looks down on.

I think political correctness was born of the litigious culture. There was a pivot in the 80s in the US from focusing on the individual to that of the systems the individual interacts with. The locus of control flipped and in my opinion this was due to culture, especially workplace culture, becoming more litigious.

This manifested in increased awareness of discrimination and HR in general, which led directly to "political correctness".

I personally agree that systems play a huge role in a person's life trajectory and that "rugged American exceptionalism" was always a myth unless you were white, but that's beyond the scope of my point here.

There's a significant difference between being passionate about what you do and being passionate about the company/mission. A software developer might care immensely about the craft of software and the intricacies of tooling, programming languages, etc. but none at all about the company or mission, or a developer might care only about the company and view the craft of software as just the thing that happens to be most helpful for the company at the moment. Most people probably fall somewhere in the middle.

I suspect employers would like both, but would prefer to subordinate the former to the latter, because otherwise that employee is easily going to jump ship to a competitor or potentially not be an effective employee at all and get lost in the weeds of their craft rather than the mission. This sort of passion for the mission/company itself is also the impression I get from the article.

And that's a pretty big ask if as an employer you also want the ability to discard people who are no longer good skill fits for the company.

I mean you can ask it and you may well succeed, but I would expect quite a few burned bridges along the way.

How would git not be a clear refutation of this conjecture?

Sure, commit hashes are very high entropy identifiers, but we can still derive a lot of meaning from what they implicitly represent. Git is also a decentralized protocol. Perhaps the "authority" in these cases is whoever happens to be approving & merging a pull request? Has anyone reversed a SHA256 hash on a reliable basis yet? Does this count as secure & distributed?

Perhaps my argument here is that high entropy and human meaning are not at odds with each other. This seems like a very subjective point on the triangle.
You're missing the point. Nobody is arguing that Apple has a monopoly on the smartphone market.

The problem is that Apple built an artificial monopoly in the distribution of apps by making the App Store the only curator of the platform. People who decided to purchase an iPhone with an iOS license should have the right to use the device to it's full extent (along with being able to fix it themselves if something breaks). If you don't feel safe running apps outside of the App Store, you don't need to!

Absolutely, and not said enough — but do this in a risk managed way. Hold yourself accountable to really give that thought. Terretta doctrine on this is “Aggressively exploit CSP differentiation, with a credible migration plan you keep in the drawer.”

To borrow an AWS metaphor on “One way doors versus two way doors” decisions, do pre-think, but don’t pre-code. Just think as you design the house about whether you might someday want to go through that door another way. It’s inexpensive now to make design decisions that make that easier later.

At an enterprise, fully understand the BCP or business continuity plan. You will likely be stunned how long functions are considered OK to be offline for regulator-compliant BCP planning purposes, relative to the SLAs that I.T. gets yelled at about.

Your job before committing to vendor lock in is to write down a plausible plan to get out of the lock in that fits (when effort is doubled twice) inside the BCP plan window, and maintain that plan as part of the platform documentation for the capability in question.

When you study the economics of re-investment by Azure, Google, and AWS, it’s impossible for an enterprise to achieve the same capability-evolution curve without floating on that rising tide. The hard part is to figure out how to not get capsized by change waves or get swamped if the CSP pulls the plug in your boat. These are part engineering, part business/procurement/legal problems, but much less costly than holding yourself to either a lowest common denominator or fully abstracted principle.

Rumor was that EIB will replace him with Jason Whitlock.
Considering the tight integration of the OS and the hardware, I would offer the comparison that it's more like a CPU not allowing any code that's not signed by Intel to run. Or, more aptly, only allowing one specific OS to run on their CPU and that OS has a restrictive policy on application usage.

Sure, you could go with AMD but does having other choices excuse a company? It certainly violates the spirit of anti-trust laws. Apple makes and controls 46% of all the mobile devices in the US. The nearest competitor is Samsung, who makes 25%.

If Apple allowed other OS's to operate on their phone, then they could say "If you don't like our integrated app store policies and policy of not allowing other app stores, use a different OS". But until they do that, the OS and the hardware have to be seen as one thing.

We had lunch in the cafeteria and a Googler online ahead of us was overheard saying “What? Sushi again???” which became our inside joke around entitlement

Back in 2006 I referred a former co-worker to Google. He quit after a year or so, and this was one of his complaints.

Our joke was "This foie gras is TERRIBLE. Just terrible".

Yes they literally served foie gras!
Good, anti-trust action against Apple's policies is long overdue. Looking forward to competing browsers to become available for iOS users which should reduce Apple's ability to hinder Web standards.
Well that's a valid analysis: she's afraid of her power, both real and magical.

A quite strange Japanese anime I recently watched with my kids was "Ginga-tetsudô no yoru" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089206/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1). I warn you: it is really slow and dreamlike, and is about death. One daughter slept during the movie while the younger one watched till the end. The morning after we were discussing about the movie during breakfast. I love that! Never happened with a Pixar movie: they are just too obvious. The analysis is made for you. And for the more recent ones they are not even fun. Of course they are beautiful and polished but too slick for me.

When I was there, clouds due to monsoon season kept it hidden in Pokhara. About a week later I was in Ghorepani and while sitting in a tea house having lunch, the owner came running in all excited.

I really enjoyed the fits and starts of high level embedded programming, we see an analogous evolution in terms of high level hardware description languages. Bluespec, Chisel, nMigen, etc.

There was such a large barrier between the practitioners that were shipping (C/asm) vs high level folks (formal methods, functional programming, etc). We routinely brought up embedded DSP systems with a Forth based monitor. An idea can be excellent, but if it doesn't have an adequate host to spread or a vector it goes no where. Forth was awesome in Astronomy because it could spread there. Just like KX/KDB can spread in the financial ecosystem.

Folks are doing real work using micropython repls directly on hardware. You can go from idea to shipping something in an afternoon.

Folks might talk about power or resources, but both are a factor in Moore's law which still very much a thing. And the hot inner loop can be written with power and space in mind.

The pricepoint for an MCU that could run a high level stack was about 8-10$ 10 years ago, now it is less $1. In hindsight the ESP32-C3 will be an inflection point.

I am curious, is NASA looking at Wasm for space and aeronautics applications? What are your thoughts on high reliability languages? What are the current hot topics in autonomous probes? Are the same things that are going on with self driving vehicles also transferring to self navigating probes? How far away are we from <launch probes> and it just sends back interesting results? ;)
Is all of that really a problem when the companies seem to have shown that none of that matters? The increased cut is apparently more valuable to them.

And I also should note, half of those items don't need to implemented in a store. People ask for them because they are implemented as extras in other stores, but strictly speaking the distribution and support are the only things the store needs to have to be called a store. Achievements, friend lists, user reviews, and cloud saves can be provided by separate services and work just as well, and could result in a higher cut for the vendors if the store doesn't have to shelter the cost for that.
But it would be easier for a customer to get cheaper prices, for the games that voluntarily choose to be on other apps stores.

That is one extra option for the consumer to choose, if they want it.

This article looks at data without understanding the reason behind it.

Many educated Indians choose to buy from these 33 Amazon owned / equity linked sellers because of the experience they offer - odds of receiving wrong/damaged product is low, and in case where that happens the return / replacement process is hassle free.

Amazon has brought price discovery to many product categories in India. For expensive products I check Amazon's ClouldTail / Appario seller's price before making a purchase from even local vendors, keep that as a reference and negotiate.

Eg: Every computer component, laptop has a ridicules MRP (Maximum Retail Price) in India. A RAM module sold at INR 5500 has an MRP of INR 20,500.

The sad part is even companies like AMD collude with distributors in cheating end customers.

Instead of fixing problems which makes citizens flock to few sellers at Amazon every Indian government irrespective of political party chooses to appease the voting block of traders union - who are nothing but middle men making prices expensive to the end consumer.

A country grows when builders and innovators contribute to the economy, not leeches who don't even understand what they are selling. Everyday I lose a little hope of India ever becoming a developed country, we have our priorities backwards.
That's a poor definition. Many companies are regulated in a manner where their services must be open to competition to access and use.

This is a false analogy.

All countries have crime, and the switching cost is immense. However some countries are much worse than others which makes it worth it.

Phones are at parity in terms of features, and the switching cost is trivial.
I think we mean the same thing, yes. (See my response to a sibling about newsletter hosts building interest profiles[1].)

The PO box analogy kinda falls apart unless you use a separate PO box per subscription but you're right, email aliases protect you from any kind of advertiser profiling. Feeds are just nice because they're simple HTTP requests so they don't have that problem in the first place (unless you're worried about IP-based tracking and don't use any kind of proxy).

Google Play Store's revenue is half of that of the Apple App Store, so choosing only Android instead of both platforms would cut the expected app revenue by about two-thirds. Google also has similar app tax policies to Apple (and there is an ongoing lawsuit by Epic against them), so they really are relegated to the more obscure app stores.
Bitcoin is 0.5% of global energy usage. https://cbeci.org/cbeci/comparisons

Is it 1/200 of global financial activity?

Coindesk indicates that bitcoin had 25 million transactions versus Visa having 50 billion transactions. So that is 1/2000 [https://www.coindesk.com/what-bloomberg-gets-wrong-about-bit...]

If Visa had a similar energy efficiency to bitcoin, the energy use of Visa alone would be larger than the current global energy use.

This rules out unaccounted dependencies hiding a larger energy use than reported for the financial sector that would put bitcoin on a more even footing, even when you count things like "the US military" or "extracting oil to fuel cars" as an energy cost solely existing for the financial sector.
I was taking it to the extreme as I said above. Obviously it is possible to have a country that has welfare without labor camps. I was merely trying to point out that by having unemployment benefits, you actively discourage people to get jobs and essentially tax payers pay for people to not work.

At least in the UK, we have an inordinate amount of benefits cheats that live off other people's money. If you only extend benefits to people who physically cannot work -i.e. disability benefits, then you stop this happening.
That's a good point and that's the drop of fear climbing making his way up to my brain. But I interview around, I got some offers that I have declined so far and I do some work, just a few hours a week.

You wrote: "Compensation for a job is about more than money. It's about where you end up as a person when the job is over.". It sounds good in theory, but in practice? Should I switch job, maybe/likely accepting less money and more stress in the coal train now because when the luxury train stops I will be in a better place (I am exaggerating for conversation purposes)? I have my doubts. This is specific to my situation and I don't want to explain too much (and that's why I use a throwaway account), but outside of the US that would sound bizarre. Switching from a cushy well-payed job to a demanding, paying-less job because in a few months/years it will be over? Yes, maybe I will get rusty here and there, but I can move to Tulum for 3 months and get ready for interviews, no?

EDIT: typo
OK, let's get things more straight:

* Threads are useful not just for speeding up, but also for parallel execution (storege/network io, graphics, ...)

* If you really care about speed and would like to parallelize CPU-bound code, you'll probably do better using another language like C/C++ (or Java, Go, D etc.) for this particular task

* In general, threads are used instead of processes because of the overhead involved in creating the latter

* Python multiprocessing module isn't the most efficient anyway, for example when passing large objects between processes because of the way they're serialized

* It also has some other quirks so I would definitely not advise to use it for "everything".
>If you really were making a joke, you could have just said so when I ‘didn’t get it’. I’d probably have said something like ‘fair play’, or ‘nice’.

Lol ok

>Have you considered the possibility that I am asking what other people think because I want to know what other people think, and that ‘being encouraged to think it through’ will simply not answer that question?

Had you considered the possibility that you asked a low-effort question? "What kind of useful information [might malicious actors look for]?" is about as deep as "hey how long should my password be". You are on Hacker News. I honestly thought you were joking when you asked it.

Do you really just want to talk about how the article makes China look bad? That's legit, but not at all related to the question you asked.

>There is nothing to suggest that you are an expert on this topic. Your own knowledge of it is limited despite having ‘thought it through’, proven by the fact that my response to your first real answer immediately showed you had missed something.

Nobody said I'm an expert? You asked about very basic threat modeling and I tried to walk you through a very basic exercise.

The thing I missed (the article itself is disinformation) wouldn't actually change much about the threat model. The writers still have to decide what/how much information about their business practices to share, and the attackers still gather every bit of info they can. The attack in the article could be a lie. The article could still accidentally revealed something new (or confirm something old) to any potential attackers. If the article mentions a specific factory, for example, another data point an adversary can use to model their supply chain. If it mentions a name and that name leads to a LinkedIn profile, the attackers get a little bit of the company's org chart. Those little leaks add up and must be actively managed.

>There is nothing wrong with making jokes, even bad ones, but following up with condescension makes it look like you weren’t actually joking. We’ll never know now.

I invite you to puzzle that one through yourself :-)

>Are you trying to create the impression that you are in personal possession of secrets about this attack?

When I saw [flagged] I thought, "come on, this community can surely discuss somebody like Rush Limbaugh without it turning into a partisan flamewar."

Then I read many of the comments and realized I was wrong. We can do so much better than this.
> You think that when a company hires you, that should be a commitment to employ you forever regardless of need?

Hardly. I can't speak for the original comment I quoted, but I personally view employment as pretty transactional. You pay me this, I give you this. I may or may not have passion, but that should be immaterial to the job at hand.

The employer sets a bar. The employee clears it or does not. That bar may change over time. If the employee does not clear the bar the employer fires the employee. If the employee clears the bar the employer continues paying the employee.

To the extent that passion comes into the conversation, it's an internal issue for the employee to sort out by themselves and not really the business of the employer.

Are you saying something different? Because I don't think we're actually in disagreement, but maybe we are?

None of those sounds like a very bad user experience. A very bad experience is games disppearing different games appearing after purchasing something else, games not working, memory usage too high..etc

No user reviews, no easy help button for noobs, no cloud save, only recently got achievements, can't crush a friends party. all sound like little nice to haves that don't add much value. Does it allow me to find/play the game? Everything else takes time away from playing.
