Besides the fact that he might not want to, I suspect many FAANG companies aren't optimized for hiring developers capable of making something like Photopea. Very little about the hiring process at somewhere like Google or Facebook is about what you can make on your own.

FAANGs hire for people who can make a small part of a larger whole incredibly well. That's mostly good for what they do, which often requires deep knowledge of specialist algorithms, but they miss out on hiring generalists who aren't necessarily good at the deep stuff but who can make lots of simple processes work well together. Which,in my opinion, is what you need to be a good front end developer.
Cool - and - keep in mind that there is major business potential.

Remove.bg was sold to Canva for an undisclosed sum - but one of Austrias biggest exits. So something between 20M to 40m is the guess.
Not to mention, people like to work on things with meaning or value.

Google cancels so many things, so much work and code tossed, and with entire projects, the point of entire projects axed, how can anyone there feel there's a point to their work?

For bad businessmen, yes. They get rewarded by going out of business.

> How often do we even see people carrying the belief that companies have a legal obligation towards "shareholder value" that trumps all other concerns?

A focus on short term value destroys shareholder value. There is no legal obligation for a company to sacrifice the long term for the short term.

Would you invest your money in a company you believed was focused on short term shareholder value rather than long term? Keep in mind that the stock price reflects the best estimation of the future long term prospects of the company.

After years at Google on DFP/Ad Manager these quotes read kinda sad to me because this is a lot conspiracy sounding stuff and in reality it’s just not that kind of operation.

Sell-side ad tech (ie. DRX) doesn’t make much money for Google, relatively. If Google likes AdX why isn’t YT inventory on it? Because they actually like the buy-side tools. Sell-side gets basically no love, no real fresh ideas. I say this having the utmost, deep respect for Ad Manager/AdX’s current and former eng & product leaders.

What happens here isn’t about market dominance, no one is thinking that. They already killed the display publishing golden goose, by Google standards there’s nothing to dominate in pub ads the business died. It’s a small market, now, putting display ads on other people’s websites. Big business is O&O which exploded around it, this is obvious.

Projects like this are about two forces colliding: smart engineers without a deep understanding or connection to the publishing industry and an internal org losing relevance/importance as its size relative to its peers decreases.

IMO, (this is definitely just my opinion) the real real problem is none of the ads you can by through AdX actually work. Using OA a lot leads to users tuning out your ad units because they are often really weird or bad-quality & register as noise.
As long as you are OK with opaque censorship and deep packet inspection by your ISP then JIO is fine. Its not the case that only JIO censors, I have found that other ISPs bend over backwards a little less to adhere to the Indian government's capricious censorship.

> or that the only division that makes implementing policies harder is the one of race, or that race must be a dividing block, is just a racist way of thinking.

But politicians do often try to engineer these splits down racial lines, so it often ends up that way in practice.

For example, racial minorities being scapegoated for inequalities in society, to try to capture the votes of the racial majority.

Dividing people who would otherwise have shared class interests, on issues of race and similar, is a political strategy with a long and sordid history, sadly.

While I don't disagree with you (and want to start there).

I just think photopea is far more than "generalists who aren't necessarily good at the deep stuff".

> Probably a little different, because of the whole surgery thing.

So the only thing that separates doctors from nurses is surgery? You can train a monkey to do surgery. The difficult part is the clinical decision making involved in planning the surgery or being able to think through atypical cases. This clinical decision making is equally important in all fields of medicine, not just surgery.

Do you believe that incorrectly prescribed medications or missed diagnoses can't also be life threatening?

> A nurse practitioner can prescribe medication like a doctor, and the years of schooling are nearly the same.

This is patently false. Most nurse practitioner schools are 2 years long, although some are as short as 15 months.

A bachelors degree is 4 years, plus medical school is 4 years long, and after that doctors are required to undergo a 3+ year residency training program.

I don't know if we'll see a "real resolution" or not, but Google is currently unpopular with the GOP and this story might have the power to sour many Dems on Google. A bipartisan push for antitrust measures would be very dangerous for Google.

Even if we don't see an effective clipping of Google's wings in Congress, the court case was already likely to be expensive just on the basis of the cartel with Facebook the Texas lawsuit has already showed.

I'm curious what the author means by

> I had two requirements for developing that I wanted to achieve: macOS UI, Linux-based dev environment

What exactly is meant by a linux-based dev environment? Seems like the idea is to run the whole dev environment is in a virtual disk in a VM. I'm puzzled, but ok. It then goes on to set up Ubuntu Server in this VM, which is then used to host the dev environment.

Wouldn't simple running a docker instance both be less cumbersome, far more resource efficient, and quick to iterate, than literally installing an OS on a virtual disk?

---

To summarize, unless I missed something, this looks to explain that it is possible to run a VM on a MacOS. Add "M1" and it's the top post on hacker news? What's going on here?
Great tool. Thank you for the laughs.
Thanks, and I upvoted this mod comment. In my defense, I'll voice that the offending line contributes to the conversation, as it asserts the interlocutor has an axe to grind by setting up an account for just this article and commenting extensively on it. Of course however I'm sure many HN users ordinarily and appropriately register on the basis of one such stirring subject or another. Anyway I would edit out the offending line if I had the ability to.

Is it public info who invited you to the Clubhouse app? If not, that would assume some kind of breach, since that info is part of the leak.
'Incredibly simple' answers and platitudes do an immense disservice to anyone trying optimize the effects of diet and exercise. For example, high-intensity interval training has been shown to be far more effective than low-intensity. And many have found a starvation diet is impossible to maintain and far less effective than a keto diet. It may seem like a waste of time to you, but this type of research can add up to important shifts in how we understand and maintain health.

To be fair, living costs are also much lower. I'd estimate living costs in the US to be on average at least 30-40% higher, plus high property costs in the Bay Area. Germany has some expensive areas but most parts are still relatively cheap compared to many US cities or places like London or Paris.
The brain isn't centralized; there is no ultimate authority to arbitrate which loci get control over which stream of consciousness at which time. Every locus operates independently on every connected loci's outputs. Even worse, the interconnects between loci are not centrally managed either, and can strengthen or fade away over time.
Moving away from home is just not something many people want to do. I don't think many Americans would move to another country with different language and far away from their family, just because they'd get a higher salary.

I never said that the same race will vote in the same way in different countries and I never said that it must be anything. And I explicitly stated that it's not the only division.

It's basically marketing, you target different audiences. You might call it racist or whatever you want, but the reality is that it works. Just ask capitalists who mastered the craft. If you're by any chance suggesting that demographics simply don't matter in marketing or politics then that'd actually be the most outrageous statement made in this entire thread.
Sure, there's a lot of mathematical mysticism in India and I have seen this at Jain sites. However, the Buddha subject would suggest a Buddhist reference. My recollection is that Cambodian sites with bitraditional syncretism were periodically built out or converted between the two traditions - not constructed blended, ie. a Buddha figure would not be carved with a Hindu item.
And yet your demands have contributed to that decision.

Please don't accuse others of "not engaging in good faith" when they just outlined to you the rational basis for their viewpoints. It's just an ad-hominem insult. My engagement is in entirely good faith: I think you (and others making these demands) are refusing to consider the impact of your demands on other people, externalizing costs unnecessarily and generally acting in anti-social ways, whilst claiming the exact opposite.

That would fall under the 1%. They get a cert or whitelisted or something such that browsers would "allow" them to request the browser to store cookies. Perhaps the type of data to be stored is also restricted in the certificate itself so the site can't deviate from the storage they've been granted.

The language requirements for long term residency in Denmark would probably be considered excessive by many Americans.

In 1973, the first policy regarding immigrant language acquisition was enacted. This law required all foreign workers in Denmark to complete 40 hours of language instruction within a month of their arrival in Denmark. The Ministry of Social Affairs expanded this requirement in 1975 from 40 hours to 180 hours of language instruction accompanied by 40 hours of courses to introduce workers to norms of Danish society.[68] Today, all applicants for permanent residency in Denmark must sign a Declaration on Integration and Active Citizenship in Danish Society[69] which includes the following provision:

"I understand and accept that the Danish language and knowledge of the Danish society is the key to a good and active life in Denmark. I will therefore do my best to learn Danish and acquire knowledge about the Danish society as soon as possible. I understand and accept that I can learn Danish by attending Danish classes offered to me by the district council."

Because in the Bay Area they also pay standard rates. Stock comp has been very supportive over the past years but base salary mostly reflects high living costs. Developers in Europe are still paid well compared to median income. The 80-90k€ that were mentioned in another comment here are an excellent salary in Germany. And if you're in the top 10% of your country, it doesn't matter how big that number is unless you want to take your savings to move somewhere else in the future.

For many people staying close to the place they grew up and their family is important. If you get a well-paid job there it can be more attractive than moving halfway around the world for more money.
> Inflation is wealth transfer from those who hold government fiat (the poor and the middle class) to those who hold assets (the rich).

Nope, it's a wealth transfer from those who refuse to invest to those who invest and if you fail to invest you deserve it because you are not creating jobs and therefore make the lives of the poor and middle class worse.

>Deflation is the same thing in reverse.

No, since you are not investing your savings you are not creating jobs, you are directly responsible for causing unemployment. Please tell me, if you put cash under your mattress how is that cash supposed to employ anyone?

>Makes it pretty clear why the government is fighting deflation so hard.

The government is fighting deflation because it doesn't want unemployment because it doesn't want the economy to shrink because that requires the population to shrink. Do we just "cull" those useless people by killing them or sending them to Australia?

Now, lets talk about the real damaging wealth transfer. Low interest rates are a wealth transfer from people who invest into safe investments (bank accounts) to people who invest into risky investments (stocks and housing).

Interest rates are a function of inflation. Low inflation means low interest rates and therefore a higher wealth transfer from the poor to the rich.

> From what I recall (could be wrong here, not first-hand knowledge), the SMS thing was a decision made by a single team ages ago

I have worked in a tiny charitable organisation, where it was easily understood that if we collected user telephone numbers, there would be constant pressure to use them for other purposes. And, therefore, that we didn't have the capacity to honestly and securely promise to users that we and our future replacements would use them only for one purpose.

This is not a failure of one team "before privacy was at the forefront" (when?).

It's a systemic failure of multiple teams and of Facebook's culture of constant privacy infringement and misdirection. That this implicit promise to users was made so lightly and not considered important enough to follow through on. As such, it's a breach of contract which I hope is picked up legally.

I think running your dev environment in a VM is the future on all platforms.

As developers we trust so many different libraries. And it is important that they are safe when used in production code.

But we shouldn't have to worry about accidentally installing a library which uploads our emails or our browser data. By working from a VM we can prevent that.

The worst a malicious library can do from a VM is upload our SSH keys or source code (which is still bad).
