Ignorance and cost. Chinese phones are popular in Europe, where Apple/Google/Samsung flagship phones are prohibitive, and similarly spec'ed Chinese ones are a fraction of the cost.

And we can't forget many Euro citizens simply don't care.
Ask HN: How do you deal with recruiting spam?
With incessant spam over multiple channels(LinkedIn, email, phone calls etc), how do you deal with and manage these communications?
Yes that's always the interesting question. If you would cut a digit or two or maybe even three from all the sums involved here, would the sport get any worse? I doubt it.
Why is there no case to be made? It would be interesting for someone to investigate if it hasn't been already. I'm curious if that "absolute power corrupts absolutely" saying is just a saying or if it has a basis in reality. I can't recall many benevolent dictators for life from my history classes.
Ahh ok. I’ve had a similar conversation with a graphics guy that strongly paralleled this conversation, and I was confused then, too. Seemingly the asynchronous compute issues are a limitation when it only comes to shaders I guess? I write some CUDA but no shaders, and certainly not so much that I’d make super concrete claims about more esoteric features like streams.
Hmmm... not always and it would take a long time and if it puts the tenants at risk (kids in the house) it likely wouldn’t happen.

I agree, though I think your language comes across as being more complicated than it has to be. If you use Google Drive or something similar, have at least one computer which does a full sync via the default client. To be more secure, set it up so that you have it sync every week or so to protect against accidental or malicious cloud deletion. Having the sync offset probably isn't super necessary since the issues you bring up are most likely to result in the account being disabled; therefore, the machine sync will be unable to login and it will pause syncing but not delete everything that has been downloaded.

Having cloud backups is still really nice to have because while they do come with some new risks, they almost eliminate whole classes of errors like backup corruption.

One other important point is to avoid cloud services that cannot easily be replaced with some equivalent. You are far more likely to live longer than whatever random SaaS company you are using. In this case, you will probably have warning before it goes down, but you need to be able to migrate off of it (migration meaning no important data loss, not necessarily having a fully functional replacement) given a week's notice.
Yes, it can be called free speech, although there can be repercussions when that speech falls into slander / libel / defamation. Outside of that, why would you ever want the government deciding what you can and cannot say? Right now you may be aligned with the government, but that can change very easily in the future
Funny how it took 6 whole seasons to figure that out. Must have been a coincidence to do so when a lot of NFL fans are tweeting out messages saying they'll boycott the league if it doesn't cancel him due to his "disrespect for the flag" (a flag I saw recently being used at the capitol to beat up on one of those blue lives that I heard matter so much).
A broke doctor is a broke adult, so not exactly sure what distinction you're making.

Broke = no money at the moment.

Poor = chronically broke.
Very true, restoring from backup is risky, annoying, and best avoided (but practice is good if you value the data). The article does serve as a _reminder_, though, which was my point.
Black and white sophism. No country is going to meet c), no country is benign. What matters is how much better the country in aspects like this. And the US still much better, NSA included.
Hilarious when you consider that the majority of the football team is black. It’s nonsensical for the alumni and donors to make this kind of demand given the song’s origins.

I disagree, because people often focus on success story to argue that we don’t need to improve the situation, the market will figure out itself, and that’s what we’re seeing at play.
The South Park Naggers episode was from 2007. I don't believe any network on TV would dare greenlight that episode today.
It seems like behavior that the SEC should be pushing back on. They're charged with protecting investors and it seems like investors having no say in company management would be in conflict with that charge.
But they did not buy the macbook with the Apple Card.

Apple made a mistake with the credit process and decided to reclaim the credit by applying it as a balance on the card without notification and then sent a strange email referencing the wrong product with a dead reply-to email address
Is there any interest in supporting other languages? Like how libp2p is being gradually ported to Rust, Go, Java. I feel like OrbitDB could become the new data model of the web if it went multi language. Or maybe was compiled to WebAssembly and embeddable using Wasmer.
It makes clear the nature of attacks on so-called cancel culture; "it's terrible that peer-pressure is helping determine people's politics. Their politics should instead be dictated by the wealthy and powerful instead. This is mob rule!"
In my experience it's the Goldman complexity where the friction is coming from. Exhibit A (A Comedy of Support Errors): https://breckyunits.com/appleCard.png
Doesn't this same logic apply to the donors though? They aren't professional university funders though. If the university doesn't sing the songs they want, admittedly, a silly reason to me, why should they keep donating?

It seems to me that people donate to universities in part because they want to perpetuate the culture and ideas that they found significant when they were at university or that they want to see more of. The donors disagree with the ideological stance taken by the university, and so, stop donating. I don't see what the problem is. People shouldn't be forced to sing what they don't want to sing or pay for sports or institutions they don't want to support.
Related to Xiaomi, the company is also doing some sketchy things in the smart home space under their brand "Aqara". I use HomeKit in my apartment and opted for Aqara branded wireless buttons and temp/humidity sensors because of the attractive hardware and good reviews. The devices require a wi-fi connected hub, not too strange for things that use Zigbee, so I gave that a go.

Well, on cursory examination, the Aqara/Xiaomi hub was talking to a bunch of Chinese servers constantly. I didn't dive too deep into what all they were actually for. When I blocked the device from phoning home with my router, all the connected devices stopped working! None of the buttons or sensors would work, the RGB light on the hub couldn't even be changed. As soon as it lost the ability to ping its servers in China, the thing actually started strobe light flashing blue. Re-enable the outside network access on it, starts working again. This was totally antithetical to why I use HomeKit in the first place, so I removed the hub and paired all the Aqara accessories with a generic open source Zigbee hub (ConBee II) and added it to HomeKit with HomeBridge.

In the future I plan to give brands more scrutiny before investing time/money in them and granting them unfettered access to my LAN...
Yes. It was scary. And now it is much more scary.

The present, much greater, scariness in no way diminishes the prior scariness.

And it was, and is, scary for many many more than just the "gays". Get some perspective here.
If the process of considering options and reaching the correct conclusion concludes faster and that is our definition of thinking, it should follow that the thinking is faster. Somewhere in your last comment you must've pivoted your definition, because you described it rather as thinking 'less' and saying that it is NOT the same thing as thinking faster. That's perfectly fine, of course, but it left me confused as to what definition you were now using.

It's a shame you've decided to abandon the argument.
For many schools, the donations to the football/basketball programs are actually donations to just the athletic department. Sure the football/basketball teams have top of the line equipment, stadiums and training facilities, but all sports benefit from those donations. Including sports that wouldn't normally attract any donations or ticket sales.
You keep a list. Someday you're going to want a different job, and at that time, it may pay (literally) to know some good headhunters.

How do you which ones are good? Start with ethical. If you ask them to stop spamming you (via opt-out or whatever), do they stop? The ones that do, put them on your list.
I hate it when the websites try to disable autocomplete on login forms and I'm actually happy for browsers to override this anti-user behaviour.
Well, there's two possible responses:

1) Store credit cards have been a thing for decades. I never got one before the Apple Card, but most department stores have them, airlines have them, Disney has them, etc. Sometimes they're "real" credit cards, and sometimes they're only ones that work at that store. In the latter case, people get them because they may give really good deals at that store and they shop there a lot, or because they're easier to qualify for and help you build credit. (Or both.)

2) The Apple Card is a real credit card, backed by Goldman Sachs. So in some ways, what I really have is a Goldman Sachs Mastercard with an Apple logo on it. I got mine because it has decent cash rewards, especially for the way I tend to use credit cards, and -- I know this will sound ironic in the context of this comment thread! -- a really nice payment system integrated into the Apple Wallet app.
I expect Kafka from Google-- strange to see if from Apple (on something besides an app store approval, that is)

Hopefully this isn't a sign of decline in focus on customer service.

Not to mention the extremely strange "special" treatment that Apple purchases receive. Why would they treat them separately? Also it's.pretty scary that at some point in the future you became behind on payments for any part of your balance that they could use the same tactic for debt collection.
I use it, it's fine as a "third place." Make sure you set the tier of the storage as the default Standard is fairly pricey. I use Standard-IA (Infrequently Accessed), which is still hot-readable but with a high retrieval charge—perfect for what should normally be write-only. A bucket policy ages out backups > 1 year. Encrypt your backups before you write them, of course.

There's nothing wrong with Backblaze et al. either. They may give much lower costs for bulk data. I only back up a few dozen GB so it's not worth opening another vendor relationship for me.

Somebody else suggested "hard drives at a relative's house." What's more likely, you lose S3 access—or your relative's house burns down / floods / is robbed / their kid yoinks a drive to use at school / any number of other disasters? Also, a backup should be as easy to do as possible—having to manually shuttle a drive back and forth from a remote location is probably not the best, unless you are extremely disciplined.
There's definitely interest. Berty has a Go implementation and the idea of a Rust implementation gets tossed around every season.

Can Webassembly read IndexedDB yet?
What if - you do need passion to be good at X. But you dont need those best at X for most companies. These companies are perhaps just conflating "best" with willingness to burn out?
No, this isn't primarily a labor dispute. And you're not "cutting through the weeds," you're missing the whole point. Baquet told the truth: the newsroom turned against McNeil, they wouldn't work with him, and that's why he had to go. The hostile attorney surely didn't help, maybe she set the ball rolling, but once the twitter mafia was out for blood the game was over.

Also, the irony of you talking about "meandering writing" is just breathtaking. Ever heard of a period?
Toffee.com | Part-Time/Full-Time | REMOTE

Hey everyone, founder of toffee.com here. We're building a marketplace where you can trade digital goods, you can think of us as the eBay for digital products. Our goal is to help anyone sell a digital product, both via their own storefront as well as on a globally accessible marketplace, using a variety of P2P payment methods (including Stripe, PayPal, and bitcoin)

I'm looking for highly motivated back-end developers to help undertake a complete rewrite of the marketplace. The rewrite will be from scratch, based on the TALL stack (Tailwind, Alpine, Laravel, Livewire), with a TDD approach.

We've just closed an overfunded equity crowdfunding campaign, and will be starting the rewrite very soon.

If you're interested, send an email to hello@toffee.com and we'll take it from there.

PS: No agencies or dev shops please!
One safer alternative is to setup recurring checks that go out for bill pay. Many more controls there to stop stuff like this and it is done by the bank, not by some company whose specialty is not finance.
Quote from this, including typos: "I will need to changed your card number for your security and protection. Since Apple Pay was used, you will need to changed your Apple ID password."

Whaaaaat?
It's there. Look at the end of the second to last line.
> Doesn't this same logic apply to the donors though?

Indeed! I find the entire "cancel culture" argument to be... well. a non-sequitur.

Just a few years ago, when politics were all about whether or not a religious person should be forced to bake a cake for a Gay couple (Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado), we discussed the actual issue at play. Religious freedom vs Tolerance. Not everyone was pleased with the result, but we discussed the actual freaking issue at hand.

Today, people just yell "Cancel Culture" and leave the argument. IMO, I find this entire methodology of discussing things non-helpful.

---------

What we have here is: Alumni vs Students. One is in the right, one is in the wrong. Or maybe both are right, and both are wrong. Or all the above. Why don't we discuss the core issue at hand, instead of trying to derail the discussion using "Cancel Culture" battlecries?
At least you can use either side if you really have to.

I was very surprised when work sent me a ThinkPad that can only be charged on one side, and is labeled as such.
> I noticed you didn’t explain why you thought it was less applicable.

I'm not actually sure where I stand on the issue in it's totality, I try to prevent myself from giving a knee-jerk response simply because the example being used is emotionally inflammatory. I do feel it's more a gradient than a binary issue though.

Edit: Upon re-reading, I misinterpreted this question sorry. The example you supplied might be as apt, but it's just one end of the spectrum. I also can't help but feel that it's like comparing my local Cafe (Switch Cafe in New Brighton, if you're interested) to McDonalds and calling it a free-market success story.

> But why do should people be forced to associate with neonazis against their will?

Why should a company - which is not a person, and something I think is being overlooked in this discussion - be forced to associate with anyone against their will? As I previously mentioned, there are several industries that can't refuse their service and there are several classes to which no industry may refuse their service. If we are looking for justification, I suggest we use the same logic applied in those cases.

> Does McDonald’s have the right to refuse service to cater a klan rally?

Obviously. I'm not sure where this is leading though, so I'll wait before commenting further.

That said, I would prefer to work with somebody who is invested in their craft. If you’re just showing up to cash a check it shows and I’m inclined to work with somebody else. Overly passionate individuals can be fanatics and irritating to work with. But people who are just in it for the money and aren’t invested in east they make are demotivating.

Chess GMs certainly prune better, but can also evaluate moves faster because they can easily hold multiple boards in their head. It's common for strong GMs to play 10+ blindfold simul games. Nakamura solving chess puzzles is a sight to see.

The US and Chinese government will absolutely never have a rapprochement. Geopolitics states they will be at odd.
Yep, the proper response is all based on individual risk profile. Full local sync works, cloud backups _can_ work and can solve many problems. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good!
I was commenting on the hypocrisy of some, who love to bang the free speech drum, but expect the government to protect them from private individuals actions. Be it citizens or corporations.

If one wants the govt to ensure free speech, then it is implied it must also ensure a private individuals right to pursue legal actions, such as denial or service or lawsuits.
Yes I’m agreeing, just elaborating. It’s like Planned Parenthood firing an executive for being a pro-life activist. That’s not cancel culture. The NYT doing the same would be.
Agreed. I started looking into setting up cluster followers, but currently you have to have enough space to pin everything and can't have it only do a percentage.
Yes, it’s hard to make that step.

Are you saying the two men never should have taken pictures of topless teenagers despite the fact in the girl’s culture it would be entirely appropriate and non-sexual?

I’m still confused.

If you’re saying the reporter shouldn’t have told the story then I would disagree as well. We don’t gain anything by shielding people from things that offend them because they don’t understand them.
I believe in keeping options open, or at the very least not burning bridges, when there is a reasonable level of effort on the part of the recruiter. If the message is obviously untargeted, or the recruiter is trying to get around the normal channels (ie, sending an LI connection and throwing in a "check this dope opening!1!" message in the invite) then those do not warrant a reply and get hit with the spam hammer.

Otherwise, I have a standard reply that I just copy-paste in to be human about it and make it exceedingly quick. True, 99% of the messages are not going to interest me, but I think everyone deserves to be treated fairly if they've made an effort. You never know who you might run into a second time when you're in need. It goes something like this:

> Hello [Recruiter],

> Thank you for reaching out, I appreciate it! Unfortunately I'm not looking to make a jump right now, but I wish you the best of luck in finding some great candidates.

> Thanks again,

> Joshua

I'll make tweaks to the standard message when warranted. For example, recently the CTO of a large-ish web property was the one who made the direct contact herself, instead of just a recruiter or hiring manager. I wasn't interested, but that obviously warranted a more thoughtful response. Other times, if the recruiter actually has the wherewithal to (shock!) include salary details and actual information I often complement them on that fact, to encourage the behavior more often in the industry.

In general, true, it can be annoying to get many an unsolicited and uninteresting offers. But on the other hand, what a great privilege we have to be in a field where we are in such demand that people are pinging you left and right; we should count our blessings! :)

I find it a bad principle which absolves responsibility. Stupidity is the same as malice, if the outcome is the same.
I'm pretty sure that they don't count the value of the homes themselves as revenue when they complete a transaction.

I think they can only count the commissions on one or both sides (depending on whether they represent the seller, the buyer, or both.)
