I'm not saying it's a slam dunk at all.

I'm saying Apple is ok with exempting themselves. How come their apps are not using the same dialog? Why do they hide behind "location services", when in reality, they are used for similar purposes?

Example, Airtags. https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2021/06/remember-apple-airtags-an...

How can AirTags highjack ANY apple device to report their location, without asking the device owner? Do IOS owners get asked in a dialog about allowing air tag tracking? NOPE
Apple licenses their software as Apache 2 so a CLA isn't necessary, everyone is free to make proprietary forks.

Companies that want to release software as GPL but also sell exceptions or make forks either cannot accept third-party contributions (as then they'd be bound by the contributor's derivative copyright interest in the code) or have to require contributors sign CLAs.

Projects with distributed copyright interest and a copyleft license governing all of that, like the Linux kernel, practically cannot relicense or sell exceptions. That's the power of the GPL: everyone has to contribute on a level playing field.
Ask HN: Why is it so hard to meal plan for the week?
Every week I run into issues planning meals to cook for the week for myself and my family.

It's the hardest thing I've done in my life. The planning, the grocery shopping, figuring out what ingredients to buy for simple, healthy fast meals to cook.

How have you all hacked your meal planning / cooking to make it easier?
And we computer scientists believe political vague statements with no evidence behind them why? It's not like there are dozens of cases of "intelligence" being wrong in the past 15 years...
Has anyone here gone through this process? What is it like compared to YC?
The one page you should add to the documentation is "differences from Vim".

For example, https://github.com/purescript/documentation/blob/master/lang... makes picking up PureScript as a Haskell programmer much easier than having to read all of the documentation and do the diff yourself.
From their FAQ: https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Sidewalk/b?ie=UTF8&node=213281...

> When Sidewalk is on, your Bridge can share a low-bandwidth connection with Sidewalk-enabled devices, like sensors and smart lights that are installed in locations around and outside your home where wifi may not be available. Amazon Sidewalk does not support high-bandwidth connections like a wifi or cellular network would, so you would still use those connections for streaming movies, posting on social media or sending email.

It does share your Internet connection. By default, an Alexa device in my house would be negotiating a connection sharing arrangement with my neighbor's. If/when a vulnerability is found in these devices, an attacker on my neighbor's network will have connectivity to a node on my network. Now imagine the case where a small business has a vulnerable Alexa on their network to play some music in the office. Anyone who could get a hacked Alexa within 900MHz range of that office would have access to that office, open file shares, etc.
I just grew up hating alcohol by looking at grown ups acting stupid and mistreating their wives and children.

That's why I never developed a taste for alcohol. I sometimes drink socially but that is very rare: 3-4 times a year, 1 or 2 drinks each time. That's about it.
Club soda (or flavored seltzer) + bitters. There's alcohol there still but less than half a percent ABV. Not enough that it tastes boozy or impairs my judgement. Drinking one relatively low ABV beer impairs my judgement enough that a second drink sounds like a good idea, the soda and bitters never does that for me.
I'm not sure what you mean. You don't need an account to view the Coinbase blog.
WeeBID (www.weebid.app) is the first fan-initiated crowdfunding platform, where fans submit ideas to creators, and commit small amounts of money to crowdfund those ideas. This gives creators a list of exactly what their fans want, and an easy way to monetize their ideas, while enabling fans to leverage the crowd to get what they want from creators.

We're looking for a lead developer or technical cofounder to make the application amazing. We've raised pre-seed financing, built the MVP, and have celebrity users on the platform (Quincy Jones and Herbie Hancock, and are currently courting urban/pop celebrities). We have 2 full-time developers (one front-end and one back-end) and are about to employ a dev shop for additional dev resources. We need someone to lead the technical side of this operation.

Founder is Greg Spero, pianist for Halsey for 4 years among other musical accolades. Also will be looking for a product lead, but Spero is the subject matter expert and is currently running product.

Software is based in React and React Native. Web App is in use as private beta, and iOS Mobile App is in Testflight.

Based in Los Angeles, CA. Candidate can be remote.

This is an opportunity to change the fabric of the creative marketplace into something that is more equitable to artists, more engaging to fans, and better for the entire consumer/producer ecosystem.

Full specs here: https://angel.co/l/2vg76Q

Please email greg@weebid.app with interest, and mention you found the job post here.
Ransomware attacks were made more feasible (the ransom part) thanks to cryptocurrencies commoditizing low traceability for criminals. I'm pretty sure we're going to see more and more of them, especially with all "digital transformation" going on.
Explain AirTags and their ability to highjack the internet connectivity of any apple device. Did you get asked about that?

So why is it ok for apple to do that, and non of their vendors?
I can't speak for the GP commenter, but from my own experience being non-binary, I have to expend cognitive energy every morning thinking about what I'll be doing that day (what meetings, any errands, etc), before deciding what clothes I can wear. If I'm staying home all day, with no meetings, or only meeting with trusted colleagues, I will dress differently than a day where I need to go to a store, or if I need to meet with coworkers I've never met before.

For trans people, just existing without conflict or judgement from others is a constant struggle between society's normative expectations and the desire to express who you really are.
I also suspect that regular cannabis use is more harmful than some of us would care to admit.
If a group of people can't reach consensus then the ideal may be to split into smaller groups, not force minorities to conform?

Nothing an HOA does is an emergency. Even if 2/3 of the people want to change the rules for parking, for example, they shouldn't get to screw over the people who bought the place without that rule and are vehemently opposed to such a change.

Scaled up to country size, like you mentioned, trying to get 330 million people to agree how the federal government allocates 25% of our national GDP turns out to be a big mess, especially when the slim majorities in congress change back and forth every handful of years. Maybe that's why the tenth amendment was put in place.
The technical debt collector has arrived. This is going to get worse before it gets better.
There's at least 2 other options:
Disable (physically) modems/antennas of sidewalk-enabled devices you own, or do not purchase devices that are sidewalk-enabled.

Sidewalk uses LoRa and a 900Mhz other signal (for garage door openers). With an SDR that can use that spectrum, you could probably determine if there are sidewalk endpoints around. Might be able to foxhunt them to certain houses.

My plan is to do my best to avoid these devices (FCC IDs may be helpful here), and if I can't, then physically disable them from being able to communicate. Hopefully other folks do the same, and there will be information/a community online to help.

The rest of the world is up a creek, only the 'techno-elite' have the privilege of privacy and being tracking-free. It probably doesn't amount to much, though...

But without that bit, how do you avoid getting into a license incompatibility quagmire? You can't relicense a large OSS project without tracking down every individual contributor, which is frequently virtually impossible.

> but the median American really doesn't drink much - our Puritan values run deep.

For many of us, it's not about Puritanical values. We simply choose healthier behaviors.

It's true that the median alcohol drinkers in America doesn't drink much at all. The vast majority of alcohol is consumed by 10% of the population.

Drinkers tend to cluster with other drinkers, and non-drinkers tend to become less interested with attending gatherings that revolve around alcohol consumption. This can lead to misperceptions that either everyone is drinking a lot or no one is drinking much depending on which cluster you end up in. It's strange to hear some of my heavy drinking acquaintances insist that everyone drinks heavily, because that's what they see in their personal bubbles.

I also gave up most drinking where I drink probably 5-6 times a year, usually with a dinner where I want a nice mixed cocktail or at a large holiday party/wedding, where again I can enjoy mixed cocktails. I personally drink soda as a replacement since I drink almost strictly water otherwise.

Kraken | Full remote, globally distributed | Full-time

DESCRIPTION: Kraken is one of the top cryptocurrency exchanges worldwide (and becoming more than that!). We build a lot of our modern backend code in Rust in various teams, and the Frontend in React (and React Native) and Angular. There are many more roles as we're hoping to hire 100-200 engineers (developers, SREs/DevOps, data...) in 2021. Make sure to check our careers page.

Web/Mobile roles: React, NextJs, TailwindUi, Angular

Rust roles (backend or desktop): Core Backend (the core services of the exchange), Bank (the neo-bank we are building), Futures (the Futures/derivatives trading platform), Trading Technology (trading related services). We have a trading desktop app written in Rust with the Iced framework (https://cryptowat.ch/apps/desktop). We hire backend, test and site reliability engineers starting at 2 years of experience. For dev roles, Rust experience is mandatory, but significant pet projects counts. I wrote a blog to provide more context on what the Core Backend team does and the profiles we are hiring: https://blog.kraken.com/post/7964/oxidizing-kraken-improving.... Please read the blog before applying!

LOCATION: We are fully remote+global and have been for years. We also have some offices in around the world for those who like these.

ESTIMATED COMPENSATION: Depends on the role - we base our compensation on the top percentiles of US compensations and apply the same ranges wherever you live. All our offers have option packages. For an idea of the compensation, head to levels.fyi and check Google, Amazon or Apple comps per levels.

REMOTE: Some teams have timezone restrictions: Futures are centered around UTC, other teams are mostly Eastern Europe to US West Coast.

The Core Backend team is planning to expand its presence in APAC and is hiring outstanding engineers who are senior + self-driven + advanced in Rust, who agree to adapt their working hours to maximize overlap with US or EU at least until the group gets big enough to become fully autonomous.

VISA: No visa sponsorship

CONTACT: You can apply on our career page at https://jobs.lever.co/kraken or you can DM me on Twitter (@simach) though I may take a few days to reply.
This was my observation before actually reading the post... a reaction to the title. If you visit the actual site you will see that the author points out that the use of "post-modern" is intended to be a joke (which I quite like, lol): From an art perspective "postmodern" would be something that challenged the concept of modernism. That would be work based on idealism and reason vs that based on scepticism and suspicion of reason. Since that doesn't really apply to this editor perhaps this editor is simply a modern editor?

“This is just another black swan event, so to speak, that the producers and consumers both suffer from,”

Im pretty sure theres nothing black swan about cybersecurity attacks when they are as frequent as they are, across all industries.
I don't particularly care that they do it but what is absolutely comical is that where I am its the very very LIBERAL folks doing it (who are also rich).

You'll have like 5,000 acres of park, they'll shrink the parking to 10 car lot, then they will do a weekend ban on parking on the side of the street all the way to trailhead.
I never understood the contempt towards him and his companies.

Maybe it's rooted from envy? Some argue that it tends to go hand-in-hand with vitriol:

> then that incentive disappears, and we can start exploring other business models

At times it feels like we're stuck in a local maxima. Momentum plays a part and it can take a significant shift (e.g. from privacy abuses and shifting expectations), before we bother to try alternatives. This _takes time_, and technology moves faster than policy, business, or culture seem capable of tracking.

could you imagine any orginisation just walking up to almost every home in the country and presuming they had the right to "a very small portion" of your property, unless you went through some steps to explicitly opt out?

imagine they paid for their own infra to do this. how much would that cost? in this light, is sidewalk not theft?

amazon, if you want to use my internet - for whichever distopic future plans you may have - you can pay me for it. it will not be cheap.
Do you have sources to back up those definitions? The Oxford dictionary on my iPhone don’t really agree with your assessment and Wikipedia considers postmodern a specific period in time (mid to late 19 hundreds)
Interesting. My third thought was “Huh, perhaps we’ll be eating less beef until the inevitable price shock and hoarding passes.”

(First thought was for the poor IT folks stuck in this mess and the second was remembering a sensitive machine that was open to all of AWS because the vendor’s servers “needed access to push frequent updates.” and “nobody has ever pushed back on that requirement before.”)
I didn't say my keyboard was noisy. For someone who gives advice on being agreeable, you sure make a lot of malicious assumptions.
I seriously think one solution to this problem is for the US gov to start designating some of these gangs as something similar to enemies of the state and start taking military action against them. If there were serious repercussions for these actions, like serious jail time or even something more grave... then that changes the calculus for people running these gangs. At minimum, this shows the gov is taking this threat seriously.

EDIT: ok bad idea, lets take it easy on my poor account :)

In British English "an absolute dog" can be slang meaning "extremely slow", e.g. "this 386 runs like an absolute dog, compared to my Thread Ripper".

My best guess is that's how GP was using it.

> Apple has deliberately framed the question such that almost no-one will say yes

Not quoting the question makes it easier for the author to frame the formulation as malicious without risking the reader coming to a different conclusion. Here's the question:

"Allow APP to track your activity across other companies' apps and websites?

Your data will be used to deliver personalized apps to you.

[Ask App Not to Track]

[Allow]"

(AFAICT, the second sentence can be different, e.g. "Your data will be used to measure advertising efficiency", depending on the app.)
The best thing about the pandemic has been improved air quality. Do we really want to go back?

GIN indices in general support the @> operator but not the = operator, unrelated to JSON.

You can create a regular btree index on a particular json path and get an index usable for = operations on that path.
About 15 years ago I quit my job at a consulting company, and the realization that I was happier sick than healthy and working there made me quit. It really liked it at first, but it was a slow burnout, so slow I didn't realize I ended up hating it.

The funny thing is, I recovered in one month, quit, and had the happiest two months after that; but after the fourth month I also realized that I still like doing my job, just not there. It took me three more months to find a new job I liked, meanwhile the initial happiness rush became boredom.

My point is, working with your side projects will improve your skills and stave boredom; and who knows if you'll find you just needed a sabbatical instead of staying at home forever.

Speaking only for myself, it isn't about escaping or distorting reality. When I'm sober, I have zero desire to talk to strangers or people I'm not close with. I instinctively view it as an unwelcome intrusion when someone approaches me in public. Come to think of it, I get bored pretty quickly even in conversation with friends.

After a 3 or 4 drinks, the extroversion switch flips in my head and suddenly I want to stop and chat with just about anyone about any topic imaginable. This adds value to my life, and so I drink regularly and have a few at a time (not 10+ drinks a day though. That's probably more on the escaping reality level)
DARPA also funded HackRF development, afaik still cheapest SDR with TX capability.
Firefox/Proton
> I don't think it's on my to find a better implementation for YouTube, but with all the smart engineers they have access to, I would think they could come up with something less intrusive.

The sentiment behind this sentence is the driving motivation for almost every single bad tech law on the Internet. Programmers aren't magic, there are limits to what they can and can't do.

Almost every bad tech law starts out with someone saying, "I don't know how this is going to work, but you're required to make it work, and if it falls apart it's your fault." You see this show up in the encryption debates, in the copyright directives, in debates about moderating content and identifying abuse, in the debates about age restrictions. It's universal, it comes from this belief that if you just require things, they'll magically happen because people can "nerd harder".

It is, of course, usually very good for tech laws to legislate outcomes rather than methodology. However, that doesn't get rid of the obligation to determine whether the outcomes being legislated are actually possible.
