Right, but we're not talking about Sam Walton debating you about unions, we're talking about an everyday person who might end up joining one. You either missed the part where OP is talking about behavior in comments on this site or you're willfully ignoring it to make a point about Sam Walton and power. Unless you think it's okay to take the full history of unions and people's suffering on your back and wear it on your sleeve.

I'm guessing this is exactly what people are saying is off-putting about pro union behavior.

Believe it or not, people do find it detestful when companies push back on unions with underhanded techniques. They get off-put when what is clearly propaganda comes out of their mouths. Pro-union people, representing the union online or anywhere else, are held much to the same standard that any company or corporate employee would.
They should quite and start startups or join startups.

Google is good when you’re right out of college or when you’re nearing the end of your career.

But when you’re in the prime of your career, do you really want to waste those precious few years making Larry and Sergey richer?
SoC vendors like Qualcomm do not support their chipsets more than a few years. Without new drivers, no updated Android versions. Without new Android version, no security patches. How could a company support an unsecure device that might be hackable by any Play store app or script kiddie?

Software and hardware support (from the manufacturer) are tied closely together, and the industry makes it really hard to achieve this.
>> And if you avoided the worst 10 days, your earnings double. If you avoided 20 worst days, your earning doubled again.
>> What is the point of such trivia?

The point is -- it is hard to avoid/miss the 10 worst days since you dont know which ones they will be. It is easy to capture the 10 best days because the easiest thing to do is be invested all the time.
Amazon growth has been predicated on cannibalizing other companies since 1995. Bezos was very specific about that in the business plan he presented to investors: he wanted to own all of retail, and has largely succeeded in that.

From a valuation perspective, what's so wrong about that? You want to be on the side taking over the world. Otherwise you're on the side that's getting taken over, and the value of your equity logically trends toward zero.
Counterpoint: We're all safer by using devices that can't be repaired/tampered with by end users.

I get to do meaningful work, and my employer REALLY cares about me (the amount of training we get offered is amazing). UK so YMMV.
It depends what assets you want to spend your cash on.

Will home prices go up after this crisis?
Will there be demand once small companies start firing people and close down and we run out of government incentives?

Sure, big companies have more money, but that is likely to be hoarded or invested (and I doubt it will be in real estate, given it's a hassle to manage) - it won't go back in the economy.
Japan itself has a homegrown industry of claiming it is utterly different from all other nations. This has led Japanese academics to e.g. claim that the Japanese cannot eat imported rice because only local rice is compatible with their anatomy. Or another example (common through the 1970s, less found today with the larger amount of immigrant labour): foreigners should be taught only a simplified and artificial form of Japanese, because no way could foreign brains ever grasp the real Japanese language.

So, when foreigners speak of Japan as weird, this only plays into Japanese own attitude.

I dunno... I run my own email server and it feels to me like the giant gap in the ease of getting your own email server (or services) up and running that you can connect to a web app still hasn't closed much here, especially for me because I don't use AWS and I don't want to spend the time to learn.

My experience with 3rd party email services is they're also a pita to use and that can become huge when they merge or get bought up by a competing service or die, or raise their prices.

With the web browser we can configure very simple emails that they can send with a link to click via the user's email client but as a web app developer what I really need is to be able to send a html email that way.

Maybe web browser and email app makers could add a way to do that by letting apps request permissions and users approve it for a specific web app. That would really make life easier for me and my apps users.
how about socially conservative union workers, for example.
For #1 you could check out Fauna. Much more powerful than Firebase regarding querying and data modeling.

With Fauna you still get vendor lock-in though.
The definition of human subject is literally "a human a researcher collects information on", as far as I can find the law doesn't even try to over complicate that point. Claiming that researching the Linux review process does not involve human subjects seems to be willfully ignorant.
I don't think that it is correct to say that anyone is telling you anything. Apple has decided that they will drop support for devices after a certain period of time because the development effort of maintaining support is too costly given the number of users with the old hardware.

If I could be emperor for a day I would just mandate that when they drop support an old device, they have to provide a way for users still owning that device to have unlimited ability to load and run any software on it. That way if you really want to keep using your first-gen iPad then you can support it yourself. But it doesn't seem right to mandate that someone else continue to spend effort supporting idiosyncratic choices of all users.
I would be happy with a compromise where a single switch in the settings enables notifications for people who want them.

"Sorry, we have too many other cases"

Probably not (see answer #1)

Some of them, surely. Most of them, no.

We already see this with things like bicycles that people are able to track down on Craigslist.
I’ve recently started repairing more of my own stuff, and it’s actually really fun. I’ve replaced the clickers and scroll sensor on my Razer mouse, resoldered bad connections on our failed washing machine, and removed a piece of dust that was behind a layer right in the center of my new monitor. You feel more proud of a product you’ve repaired yourself.

In these repairs i noticed that information (manuals, but also being able to discuss on forums) and parts are crucial, so i’m glad to see that those are the things encoded in law. A further measure could be forbidding forced (hardware level) linking of parts.

Pat of most modern economic theory around the stock market is slow and steady, sustainable growth. It's a fairly 'liberal' policy choice as you can't, say, tweet something to spike or drop a stock price and benefit (or have those in the know benefit). For example, several economists say that stagnation in the market is not necessarily a bad thing and shooting for the moon in stock pricing by chasing continual growth can lead to companies overreaching or expanding then crashing hard, hurting consumers and their employees worse than the gains created short term.

https://www.wbur.org/onpoint/2020/02/12/economists-slow-econ...

This is in addition to noting the stock market is not a representation of the economy or its health. slow, continual, predictable growth is critical for planning economic and fiscal policy along with preparing for rough times, like when a pandemic shuts down global production.

I often refer back to the stock market or simply inflation rate before the US went off the gold standard and instituted massive reform and regulation of markets. Some years the US would bounce back and forth between extreme negative then positive inflation rates, ex:

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/inflation-cpi

Set the chart range to MAX for effect, or see a table of data here:

https://inflationdata.com/Inflation/Inflation_Rate/Historica...

In 1920 inflation was close to 22% in the spring but a year later was about -15%. No way that was helpful for preparing for an economic downturn like we see in the general accepted 10 year business cycle today. Image starting a company and all your initial costs are 20% higher than you planned, then once you get production up and running your goods are worth 15% less! Market stability breeds stability but not high return brokerage accounts.
If you're running small projects, Dokku is a cheaper option compared to running a k8s cluster. Porter helps you leverage all the benefits of k8s like scalability, scalability, configurability, and is great for multi-cloud environments due to interoperability - these are all useful when you're dealing with projects at a larger scale.
I think the classic example of this is the pizza delivery driver (or now the gig economy food delivery driver).

The driver might think "I made $100 today, great!", but they generally don't have a good sense for their total expenses. Sure, they know how much gas cost them this week, but they don't know how much the next auto repair will be, or how much depreciation they're incurring on their vehicle. And when their auto insurance goes up because they've been driving so many miles, that's out-of-pocket too - no employer is picking that up.

> “Serverless” means there is no physical or virtual hosts to manage

While true, that's not the defining characteristic of "Serverless" because PaaS also does not require server management.
This is exactly why “Right to repair” rose up to claw that ownership back.

If we don’t create laws, at some point down the road we will go from “not much recourse” to literally none.

What if Apple created a phone with no ports that was filled with epoxy as the last step in assembly? What if powering it on at all meant logging in to your apple account?

They could in every meaningful way take that device away from you at the run of a single function.
A good example is selling options for premium.

You can sell a put option against a stock.

Say the stock is $100 right now, and you sell a put option one month out for a strike price of $90.

The seller of this put option essentially bets that the stock will still be above $90 in a month.

The buyer of this put option is betting that the stock will be below $90 in a month.

For executing this trade, you, the put seller, receive premium, say $1. The buyer pays you $1.

You have a sold a very high likelihood bet and received $1 for taking on the risk.
The buyer has bought a very low likelihood bet and spent $1 for the chance to win.

This sounds great! In the long run, stocks tend to go up so you should win this bet the vast majority of the time, collect your $1, and make the same bet again.

This is the "picking up pennies" stage.

Now what is the steamroller? The steamroller is the low likelihood but very high loss scenario that this stock or ETF absolutely crashes while you are on the selling side of this open put option bet.

If it crashes to $N where $N < $90, the put option buyer has the option or right to sell you the stock at $90, even if it is worth hardly anything. So you have now paid $90 for a stock worth less than $90. It could be $0, the company could be bankrupt. Your loss is -($90-N)+$1. (Note that because of your $1 premium, your breakeven on this trade is when the stock is at $89, not $90.)

If you put up the collateral (the money needed to buy the stock at $90) for the bet with your own money, you are out that money. If you put up collateral on margin (borrowed money) you can be mega screwed.

This is the steamroller. You picked up $1 here and and there but then you got hit with a -$20 or -$50 or -$90 steamroller when you may have not even had the money to cover it.

Yes the steamroller is very low likelihood, but you have to hit pick up a LOT of pennies in a row to still come out on top after getting hit by the steamroller.

It is important to note that there is a ton more nuance that can go into running this kind of strategy, but in general for the average person, buy and hold will always outperform a strategy like this for several reasons, not least of them being that the income received for premium is taxed at income rates, where gains from buy and hold will be taxed at capital gains rates.

Very sophisticated investors do run this strategy with many ways to handle the tail risk, and their sophisticated strategies do not necessarily stop them from getting absolutely screwed when things go bad like during the flash crash at the beginning of coronavirus. Modeling and mitigating tail risk is hard, because terrible events are not as common as normal events and when things go terribly, they usually go terribly in a way no one has ever seen before.
It gets back to picking a purpose for the device and tradeoffs for privacy and the rest.

Airtags are not for finding stolen things. They're for finding lost things.

I think what you described is a privacy nightmare that Apple very rightly wants to avoid. They do not want to make a small device that is hard to find and doesn't give itself away to allow people to track each other. At Apple's scale, it will be abused and there would be significant negative attention on Apple for that.
It is goalpost moving, but I also agree with the author. If a device is no longer supported by a company, or that company goes under, there should be some mechanism to make any software needed to modify software on the device available.

Take the essential ph-1 as an example. Now that the company is gone, if a device bricks during an update, that's it. Having the firehose file would make it possible to unblock it, but without it, a bricked phone is just spare parts (less the main board).
Sure, I mean, you might be priced out of a home but you can play flappy birds.

So that's something.
When starting with Leetcode you face two questions:

1. Which ones should I do to be prepared?

2. For a given problem how do I find the knowledge that should have helped me recognise and solve it?

Imho, the Competitive Programmer’s Handbook [1] does answer these, every trick and pattern is explained in the most succinct way, in the order you would want to progress on leetcode to see all the basic problem formulations.
Afaik every random interview question would fit into one of these.

Let me know if you know a better one.

I think you don’t understand what you’re talking about. If I buy a kiddie pool from the Shopify app with Apple Pay, it is not subject to the App Store in-app purchase terms. Similarly, if I book a massage through Yelp and it supported Apple Pay, there would be no App Store fee. Apple’s cut is for digital goods whose consumption is facilitated through your app.
I didn't work in food service but I did work a service job (supervising children, teaching robotics, and hosting birthday parties for kids) in high school. I did not manage to save any of the money I made, but I definitely learned a lot from the experience. Namely: most people have no respect for service workers, and some people seem to have active contempt for them. Quite unpleasant. I don't think high schoolers should have to work for a living, but then again I don't think adults should either. However, I do think the experience of working service jobs is one that more people should have.
To type, sure. But what if you want to press a more obscure button like F7 or Print Screen? Also helps for games where your fingers aren't always in the standard ASDF position and you're still learning the keybindings.
There are a lot of comments here about how useless these protections are, because A or B already exist, or C works better for stalking.

I think most of those comments are missing the real point here. If an Apple product were ever used to stalk - or God forbid, harm - an individual, it would be a big national story. If a Tile or a Samsung tag (or an amazon gps tracker made for stalking) were used in the same way, it would likely only be mentioned in passing if the story were reported at all.

That's why it's so important for Apple to do this. Additional benefit - this may push other vendors to do similar things, pushing stalkers back to more tailored devices. That's still helpful, as it's a lot easier to show intent if someone uses a device like that (as opposed to 'whoops, I lost my airtag).
I've concluded that over steer (over correction) is the norm.

My hunch is one big cause is the mismatch of time scales between tenure (employment) and policy outcomes. Meaning that most policy and decision makers have moved on to new roles and jobs before the consequences of their decisions become clear. So very little learning can happen.
Maybe they’re promoting productive investments in real estate, while punishing people for rent seeking off of companies just because they fronted the capital.
Here's a crazy hypothetical for some mulling...

Let's say an abuser does use this, and goes on to track someone and then kills them (or commits some other very serious crime). The cops get involved, they start looking into it and discover (through a lapse in other privacy elements of this technology) that a third-party's iPhone was the one that gave away the location.

What are the third parties' legal defenses from the law to avoid being labeled an accomplice here?
> one of them is dedicated to just opening the apple tv app (even though we mostly use netflix / amazon).

That button is configurable in the settings. I have it set to go to the home screen, which makes way more sense to me (and it's what it used to do before the Apple TV app existed).
2017 Toyota Prius. Excellent fuel economy and driver assistance features. My partner complains about the seats not being comfortable enough and I agree, to a certain extent.

> In theory, a mechanical keyboard can last for 3 to 5 years.

3 to 5 years! I expect all of my mechs to last a lifetime. My daily driver is cherry mx blues that have been clicking away for 11 years now, 6-10 hours of software engineering a day.

That calculation does not seem very realistic. I'd expect a mech keyboard to continue to function after 50 years of daily use, and a traditional membrane to probably wear out somewhere between 10 - 15 years of daily use.
This paper always confuses people. The wasm sandbox is secure, and continues to be. This paper merely states that if you use an insecure language and mess up, then your program can be messed with.
> Leetcode and other websites have conditioned us to think that we need complication.

A paradox that's plagued me my whole career is that simple abstractions are less approachable than complex ones. Simple abstractions almost by definition create bubbles of private language, making it hard to use existing knowledge to bootstrap into new knowledge. Complex abstractions don't have this problem.

I don't think Leetcode has conditioned anyone to think they need complication. I think beginners just find complexity more tractable, at least at first. Grappling with it feels like learning and doing. Leetcode rode that wave to where it is today.
Note that they didn't break out of the sandbox. So this can't do anything bad to the machine it's running on.
A) Apple doesn't sell those and wouldn't sell those

B) The airtags are more capable than those, more affordable, and easier to use

C) If you own an airtag, this will be available on a moment's notice. Is your wife going to get lunch with a friend? take it off your keyring and throw it in the glovebox. Boom, now you've got realtime tracking in about 5 seconds.

This obviously won't solve the problem of domestic abuse that existed before airtags were introduced, but it will go a long way towards not making it worse.
It might be falling under most people’s “meta” content filters, I thought this was about the abuse of HN’s flagging feature from the title.

That's what we call privilege, and why it's actually great to build diverse teams so they can bring concerns that others wouldn't think of.
Honestly - working crap retail and food service jobs during high school was as much (or more) valuable education than what I learned in school. Certainly motivated me in college to study and work hard. The value of working is not only in the money earned, and I will force my children to get part-time jobs during high school.
> I'd be curious to know why supabase didn't go with GraphQL.

I'm guessing because GraphQL is very limited compared to SQL.

From reading their docs [1] it seems they have a JS API for SQL with support for nested data a la GraphQL. Not sure if its their own or comes from some other library.

I hear this a lot, but it's really not true. Most "pizza places" are small businesses (<50 FTE), so they aren't required to offer benefits anyway.

They want part time employees because it offers scheduling flexibility. If all you have is full time workers and someone calls out sick, you're short a person. If you have mostly part time workers, you can call everyone not scheduled that day to see if they can come in. Office jobs don't really have this because it's typically not critical that the employee is there.

Compose.ai (YC W21) Is Hiring
It depends on the company and the individual situation of course. But everything I see suggests that coming in on a fairly regular basis (like 1-2 days per week) is going to be more common than being fully remote, which will generally be on a case by case basis.

Of course if coming into a office is a few days every few weeks sort of thing, people can travel greater distances to do that.
