How sensationalist and lazy. The gas price in Sweden is $7.2 per gallon,[1] in a country where the median hourly wage is $11.9[2] which is more or less half that of California at $22.7.[3]

~~Sure, Sweden may have more public transport, but the California wages are not only twice as high, the income tax is also ~9.3%[4] compared to Sweden's average ~32%.[5]~~ (redacted)

So, you know, I think they'll be fine.

When disability tech is just a marketing exercise
>The reason for the severe facial expressions and the lack of smiles in 19th-century photographs was the extremely long exposure times that the technology required back then.

That's one theory, another one I've seen is people had bad teeth, but everyone had bad teeth so I don't see how that would be an issue. I like the theory that they thought constant smiling was for simpletons.

>You can't assume from those portraits that people rarely smiled compared to now.

Where did I say that?
I'm not using it any more because Syncthing does what I want to do much better. I had it working on Android 10, although I'm not using a stock ROM.
It's interesting to see some people feel this way. I don't really filter my views in posts on the web compared to conversations with (not very close) friends. It does feel like that could very well come back and bite me, maybe I'll lose jobs over "supporting hacktivism" or whatever. I guess it's a risk I'm willing to take to share my ideals.
I mean that 1Blocker is terrible compared to uBlock+NoScript, and that's the best content blocker I could find after spending days researching them. Plus, it costs $3/mo or $40 for something that barely functions.

Web browsing in iOS is incredibly frustrating and privacy-unfriendly compared to Android. I recently bought an iPhone for the app tracking protection, but the difference between Safari and Firefox is like night and day.
So it sounds like you don’t agree with contract law. that if you make an agreement with someone or something that you are bound to keep your word. You somehow think that because you agreed to something voluntarily that the government should then act and impose new terms on the parties.

That’s one reason why we are regulation drunk in this country. Instead if having a simple rule that says you live up to contracts that you agree to, now we have to have a million rules for exceptions to contracts people sign.

I do t thing we can get anywhere if you don’t agree with contract law.
so an android phone without the store? intriguing. at that point you might as well switch to a dumbphone. are dumb phones still a thing?
I lost my grandpa the last year during the lockdown and the corona. I could not meet him, I could not be there just to say farewell. That analogy you described might be the best way as to how we bear the loss of our loved ones, the pain is always there, we just get used to it and feel less often.

But grief also teaches us to be kind and look after each other's. It is also helps a lot to connect with your lost one's friends and acquaintances! Our memories are scattered across the ones we know.
I used LastPass for a few years, but switched to bitwarden over a year ago.

Mainly driven by the combination of price increases, no improvements (and possibly getting worse) at things like the auto-fill buttons conflicting or not working with many apps I was using, the duplicate entries it would create, failure to match Android apps and web logins, and the constant battle to try to get it to work with several internal apps and test systems (same top-level domain, where I have a mix of unique and common logins) while also working on the web generally.

Bitwarden has per-domain selection of match type (full host, base domain, or regex), and a non-interfering UI. I can't think of a single thing LastPass does better.

Yeah. LinkedIn tries to encourage this sort of behavior for engagement but I haven’t found my lack of engagement with it to staunch the recruiter outreach.

If anything, when on the recruiting side as I review applications I use engagement with that pabulum as an indicator that this person is a BS-artist and probably wouldn’t be a good culture fit for my team. These really attention-seeking personality types tend to stir up a lot of inter-team drama in my experience. Maybe bigger companies have enough slack in the system and outlets for people to blow off steam to absorb it, but in small teams they can wreak havoc with morale.
With USA military and unsupervised services, the primary goal is spending money. They DGAF about security of nuclear weapons in Europe.

/e/ is built on lineageOS but it is not lineageOS. the point of /e/ is to fix privacy issues, and therefore i expect that those issues listed for lineageOS do not apply to /e/.

you can even buy phones with /e/ preinstalled, which should allow the bootloader to remain locked. (i didn't verify this, but at least for some models like the fairphone it should be possible to install /e/ with a locked bootloader.)

privacy and security are not the same thing. while the article you link to recommends grapheneOS as a better alternative to protect your privacy, i am actually not sure that is the case. grapheneOS has different goals.

i already wrote about this here:

i trust that /e/ will implement any security features that are necessary to protect my privacy.
> there are twins that can see with each other eyes or feel each other body

That's not the same as directly observing someone else's consciousness. That's just two people sharing some I/O devices.

In fact, one could argue that the inability to directly observe another consciousness is a necessary condition for being an individual: the limits of your direct observation is the definition of where "you" stop and the rest of the universe (including other people) begins.
It assumes life is subject to the second law of thermodynamics, which it is.

Avoiding heat death requires a renewable source of negentropy, to bypass the second law. Some sort of perpetual motion machine that you can pump energy out of. E.g. if you could extract work out of the expansion of the universe fast enough to build expansion-work-extractors faster than they decay, and expansion continues indefinitely, then you can avoid heat death.

Wifi is a range of 300 ft and even that has turned super chaotic. In my medium density neighborhood two dozen WiFi networks are listed as nearby.

All that is necessary to enable the average worker to work many fewer hours a week is for the amount produced in those fewer hours (over the whole economy) to be sufficient to allow everyone to live comfortably, and for the output to be shared reasonably equitably.

We have the former. We've had it for 50 years. The only problem is the latter: We have allowed the people at the very top to take all the extra gains from the productivity increases since about 1970.

Changing the system to prevent that level of blatant skimming off the top, and ensure that the benefits of the economy are shared equitably, is what we as a society need to be working on right now.
Look, if some authority finds your personal information on some server, and they can't produce your digital signature on a contract which says that the company can keep the information from some date to some other date, then they are in violation. It is simply not possible to lie about it.

Hi HN! I guess this is my first post ever?

I wanted to show you my app, which I orignally made for my team at work, to give us a tool which we commonly use for our day to day tasks - mainly since we hate opening jira and looking into each ticket.

This tool helps us ""link"" thoughts to days. It's in an early stage but stable, supports mac/win/linux and I am thinking about adding mobile/web support as well.

What makes it special? It's not the generic note taking app, it's a daily journal which focuses writing things down per day, kinda like a diary. Most importantly it's "my app" or rather, how we as a team wanted it to be.

It soon will have a search, day-rating (useful for scrum/diary) and probably syncing? Need to figure out the last point...

My goal is to keep the app opensource at all time as well as free. If I ever offer sync, you either use dropbox to hook up your devices or the backend-sync-server that may come on your own server/rpi or lastly, a service provided by me (which may not be free however). Sync is also planned to be e2ee, so your data will never be leaked.

I'd love to hear about what you guys think!

ps: yes its electron, please don't blame me - using the tech I got enabled me to write this app in a few days to be ready for all of us.

Here is the WIP landing page once I officially launch it on other sites: https://muc.dev/projects/linked

Thanks in advance <3

Kind of, but among the largest tech companies, Apple uniquely runs most of its revenue through the hardware category, and gets a lot of revenue from China.

Google (Alphabet), Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook all use hardware from China, but most of their revenue comes through software interactions. Google does not officially even operate in China. Amazon has a limited corporate footprint in China.

I think it’s reasonable to say that Apple has higher risk related to China than many of its competitors.
Doing ECC on-die (as in DDR5) does solve issues related to the storage itself, and the access timing of the array, but still leaves data vulnerable to corruption on the memory bus itself. Memory is indeed the only place were we are moving and storing data and it is commonplace to use zero layers of data protection; everywhere else we have at least one, often multiple, checksums and storage always has had forward error correction for a very long time, regardless of medium. But of course, generally speaking, all data processed by a computer moves through the main memory.
You know what else I’ve seen on LinkedIn? Lots of people being openly racist in the comments of a post about a non-white experience.

Sure that post was trying to farm interaction but I can’t imagine associating your racism with your professional persona...
Hmmm, better not using it for unit test I think.

Had a quick look into that mongo memory server and it pull the real mongodb instance for testing so it’s solid. MontyDB in other hand is only a tiny in-completed replica (only had basic CRUD implemented, no aggregation and other fancy stuff).

Could be used for a quick demo for application that requires MongoDB, which was part of my initiative back then.
Americans (assuming you are an American) are used to people confirming that they are paying attention throughout the conversation (“Mhm”, “yes”, “I see”, etc.). Russians don’t do that. If they don’t have anything to add, they won’t, unless prompted.

You can just ask if they understood you, agree or disagree. It’s not super common to act like you described, but common enough to be a cultural thing.
Yeah but we got a lot more stuff and experiences than single breadwinner households of the past. We’re not optimising for free time spent in material poverty.
"imminently listenable" - I think my writing advice would be: don't give writing advice about proof reading if you're prone to typos!

Author presumably meant "emminently listenable" (a bit of a cliché but not heinous).

Isn't it, though? The people most likely to need a cloud-managed service like that probably have too much data to crunch on a laptop, as you described.
New GCHQ-inspired escape room to open in Cheltenham
Late 2000s, I got a date thru LinkedIn. My romantic interest quipped "I'm glad LinkedIn's good for something." That was LinkedIn's high water mark for me.

I eventually cleared my profile (along with my other social accounts). I'll delete it outright once I'm confident my abandoned nym can't be repurposed into a sockpuppet.
Different strokes. I just told a friend that they should let me know if there's anything I can do to help, which I've never done before (for this friend). His mother is having surgery this week. I've known this person my whole life and he's a lot like me, so I know that taking your advice wouldn't be the right path for this.

I would like to be told by a friend that they care about me and would like to help in some way if they can. What I wouldn't like is if they said "OK, I'm going to choose a thing that I think I would want in your situation and do it for you, and you have no choice because I'm going to do it anyway." Chances are, what you thought was helpful is NOT what I need in a difficult moment and I don't want to be subjected to another person's choices being superimposed on my situation. Lucky for me I know that my friend feels the same way, and we have different ways of approaching these things with each other because of it.

"I'm at Costco. What do you need? And don't say 'nothing'. I'm going to bring you something, and that's that" seems incredibly aggressive to me, and if I had many friends who behaved that way I would be endlessly frustrated.
Beyoncé’s Work Ethic: What We Can Learn from It
I would recommend you mostly disregard the headline salary or taxes and look at cost of living and resulting disposable income. When you add tax + cost of medical care in both countries the US is higher. Cost of housing, even in Sydney, is high but lower than the Bay Area.

The lifestyle is quite different. I am planning to move but am a bit concerned that my (us citizen) partner will find even that adjustment difficult. I think it’s superior or I wouldn’t be longing to move after long term residence in Palo Alto.

One thing about disposable income: you’ll often see people around the Bay Area with expensive cars and toys but who live in a small rented apartment. They don’t make enough to buy, so after rent have a lot of disposable income. Over the long term that’s not financially as good as living somewhere else.
If you believe that at all. Most virulent racists say whatever to justify their actions. These noble-but-misguided excuses are disingenuous.

> and we're being left in a worse place than before the "disruption" happened.

Do you have examples of this? It sounds theoretically right to me but I can't think of any empirical cases of being worse off as a consumer.
We also have a system that is far more complex than before and requires education in many fields to understand it.

Our system requires an unprecedented level of cooperation between orgs and governments which appears to be more the left wing style of thinking (sort of). It’s difficult to have these growing nations with resource scarcity and still have a “hands off” policy.
The Google fiber project was very much a aligned with their regular business model.

Google fiber is dead because deep packet inspection is dead.

The preemptive bad PR around snoopvertising and AT&T trying to compete made Google go, “oh yeah man ... we totally will not engage in deep packet inspection. Psh, stupid AT&T, what creeeps (ok guys shut it down!)”
Have you gotten two displays to connect to it yet? That's my biggest bottleneck right now.
... back then, lots of projects were saying referential integrity was an operations problem. That was rubbish, and they knew it. Same for multimaster replication. Fortunately we're past that now. But I like MongoDB for its document model, not its service architecture (although it definitely gets the job done). This Monty is an interesting project, and I'm looking forward to future developments.
The revenue/sq foot ratio is based on the sales from those square feet, not the total revenue. They measure sales at each individual location for location revenues/sq foot and all locations for overall. Revenue from partner sales, internet orders, etc. are not counted in that (although they might include deliver to store website orders, I don't know). It doesn't hurt that they're selling products with a high price-volume ratio.
Public roads aren’t really a sporting arena, so probably actual sports use will continue in an appropriate venue.

Thanks. But, it's asked as a question, no? So, is it like an expression of concern, as if I asked "are you healthy"?
It's not just security. This applies generally where people will shoot at their own feet. In C++ I can apparently have an atomic integer and increment it:

std::atomic<int> n = 0;
n++;

Rust has atomics but they don't work that way.

let n = std::sync::atomic::AtomicU32::new(0);
n.fetch_add(1, std::sync::atomic::Ordering::SeqCst);

Hmm. Why doesn't Rust's "AtomicU32" just implement AddAssign? If it implemented the AddAssign trait then you could at least write:

n += 1

.. and that looks much nicer, it elides all that stuff about memory models, consistency, and... oh...

In the C++ code, the programmer thinks this variable n "is" atomic. It's an atomic integer right? But that's not a thing. C++ is mapping atomic integer operations, which are a thing, onto the type, and not making the integer itself magically atomic, it's just an ordinary (aligned) integer.

So if we tweak both examples to do some slightly trickier arithmetic...

std::atomic<int> n = 0;
std::atomic<int> m = 0;
n++;
m= m + n;

use std::sync::atomic::{AtomicU32, Ordering};
let n = AtomicU32::new(0);
let m = AtomicU32::new(0);
n.fetch_add(1, Ordering::SeqCst);
m.fetch_add(n.load(Ordering::SeqCst), Ordering::SeqCst);

Once again, Rust seems much more verbose, but, wait, actually this isn't the same as the C++. This is probably what the C++ programmer intended but what they actually wrote means this:

use std::sync::atomic::{AtomicU32, Ordering};
let n = AtomicU32::new(0);
let m = AtomicU32::new(0);
n.fetch_add(1, Ordering::SeqCst);
m.store(m.load(Ordering::SeqCst) + n.load(Ordering::SeqCst), Ordering::SeqCst);

Well that's just crazy. Now m can change between when we load from it, and when we add n to it, and then we store back this out-dated value. We definitely didn't want that. But it looked sane because C++ fools us into believing "Atomic integers" are a thing, which they actually aren't.
Yes I can go on about that too. Friendships are harder to form but last longer and seem deeper on the East Coast. Here on the West Coast, you frequently have relationships and appear to be deep friendships and then you just drift apart and never connect again.

It's sort of like the smiling thing at a mega scale.
I agree. Reporting the same to LinkedIn and their response usually is dismissive.
You can't simply ignore bash - while I would like nothing more then to never touch it again, the fact is that giant pool of scripts is created and just the same as with Cobol, they will persists for a long time.

Yup. Beyond that, even.

While it might cause some trivial reputational discomfort for the CCP who is already engaged in ethnic cleansing, but they'd also realize (if they haven't already) that they have a direct path to winning a bio-war without even losing credibility, because their authoritarian control gives them a huge advantage. They showed that they can implement a hard lock-down to reduce R0 to <1, whilst the western democracies tie themselves up in knots over masks, lockdowns, and 'muh freedums'. A new version that had R0 of maybe 4 (vs 2.7 for SARS-COV-2) and mortality in the 15% range (vs 2-6%), introduced into animal populations...

One can hope that they aren't that unethical, but the fate of many tens of millions under the rule of that party says otherwise...
Except LinkedIn shares anything that people interact with. It’s almost impossible to avoid the cruft imo
