All the shops in Ukraine and India I know of are solidly heading up in price for developers. Engineers make 20-30x the average salary and junior devs are making 24k USD per year out of uni there. Compare that to 35k USD in Canada.

I think if anything, the decreased concerns about hiring remote AND the increase in overall demand has lead to very favorable conditions for engineers even abroad.
The order covers exactly what it should: these are the outcomes we want, make them happen. It's silly to assert that an executive order from the president would lay out how all the different agencies in the government will adopt Zero Trust, MFA, or other things. This is the kick in the pants, now the agencies are on the hook for doing them. I appreciate your point that it will be hard to accomplish, but that doesn't really let them off the hook I don't think.
Because in general it's a very good indicator of idealism vs pragmatism.

Obviously not a be-all, and highly dependent on experience (e.g. are you 32 and spent all your life in academia, or 32 and have 10 years of industry experience, or somewhere in between).

You can also make a myriad of applicable observations based on age, but ultimately it's probably relevant because she is the youngest person in that position ever.

This implies less technically inclined “affiliates” used the malware made by someone else, slipped up and had their 85% cut retrieved. Meanwhile, the creators of the ransomware took their 15% cut safely.
Where are the Apple VPN exit points?

I wish there was a non-dubious VPN service with an exit in a non GDPR country, or at least one with internet privacy. I rolled a strongswan VPN through AWS EC2 but all the egress points are in countries that can be exposed.
I wonder what governments will be using for zero trust architecture? There are a number of companies competing in this space, one is strongDM [1] who I currently work for.

Ronaldo is the number one by followers in instagram, I would also suspect has 10x the ad appearances and so on.

We let our very-capable son and his less-capable-but-bright and more-experienced older sister freely wander the neighborhood on bicycles when they were 5.5 and 7, respectively. Worked out fine so far.

Varies by neighborhood, though. Our current one's busy-body and kids-only-play-with-parental-escort enough that we had a couple neighbors stop by to warn us that they'd seen our kids several streets over, thinking they'd gotten away from us. Not quite busy-body enough that anyone called the cops (I suspect we were right on the edge of that happening, and maybe just got lucky). Our last neighborhood had wonderful mixed-age "gangs" of kids wandering around playing all the time, and it would have been entirely safe there. That was a much younger neighborhood (in terms of both the ages of the houses and the average age of residents) than this one (not sure whether that's related), and, I suspect, there were some class issues at play (the other had a very high-prole character to it, in Fussellian terms, while this one's 100%, gratingly, middle-class as hell)

As for chances of assault, your main worry by a country mile should be cars, not predators. All forms of attacks on kids by strangers are incredibly rare. Leaving your kid in the company of a specific adult or set of adults is far riskier than letting them walk to the park (yet people do that all the time). Shit, statistically siblings or cousins are far "scarier" and worthy of concern, in that regard, than the risk of regular walks to a park 2 blocks away.
And Southwest is one of the most profitable airliners too. They use huge planes between major hubs and stack you in like sardines only mildly more comfortable than Spirit.

I believe they were also the most profitable US airline last year because of how streamlined their entire operation is. They could afford it if they wanted it.

I don't think that's quite in compliance with GPL3, but I'm not a lawyer. The bundled release artifact doesn't allow someone to build the extension, and I think GPL3 takes that into account. If I have a Java program, I have the bytecode, and unless it's been run through and obfuscator, I can pretty easily recreate the Java code. But the GPL3 doesn't count that as compliant.

Um... you are way off the mark here. You just missed the latest war of Azerbaijan vs Armenia, where the azeri forces had these drones, that just hovered in the battle field for hours, and when the Armeni forces turned their radars off their would just home on them and destroy them immediately.

They were acting like moving air-landmines. They key part of this is that they are super cheap to make (cost of a car), and operate, and work autonomously. Thousands of them launched, can wreck havock even on a sophisticated military like the US of Russia.

That's why there is a return of modernized cheaper ww2 type of anti aircraft guns.

> I list my job title as “Failed Internet Billionaire” and then list the projects, the problem they were solving and the tech stack. The “job title” always gets a laugh from interviewers. Remember if it’s a technical interview, the person interviewing you most likely has done side projects as well.

This is invaluable advice. I had a similar problem when returning to the market after years doing my own things. Someone here suggested leaning into the failed startup I’d attempted with a colleague rather than downplaying it. Despite that, I still had a tough time getting initial calls.

I eventually landed a three-month contract job. That rehabilitated my resume and I had no trouble getting callbacks once I had some recent work history. Don’t be above taking a short term gig if you find that the phone isn’t ringing. It might be the thing that turns that around.

Fuchsia/Zircon is and already can be made compatible via a virtualised Linux kernel running under Zircon. So your point is?

Fuchsia is acting as a compatibility bridge to migrate over the fragmented Android arena you see before you onto a unified system that Google can push updates seamlessly just like it did recently; starting with the Nest Hub. It was invisible to the user and was updated without warning or fanfare.

In this context, it is better to replace this 'outdated technology' than to keep fixing the existing system because it is riddled with hidden bugs and holes. Perhaps this cannot be solved with the Unix philosophy (or in its clones) as it is riddled with holes and legacy oddities. This is why technologies like Rust exist to eventually replace C/C++ and Fuchsia exists to eventually replace Android.

Unix had a good run (and is not designed for security in mind). So it is time for a clean slate.
How does that follow? If they had proof of their reserves it would dispel the rumours and increase confidence.
This got buried too fast.

It's not like this is some fringe subject based on bullshit. There is concrete proof of something and it's a current topic of wide interest.

Personally I like reading what others here think about this. None of us "know" what's behind this but it's not a leap for me to think I can learn from what others here offer on it, or that someone here gets it right.

When I evaluate the places where I might find insight into this HN would come at the top of the list if the subject were allowed to run its course organically.

Kicking it to the 3rd page too fast may have prevented that.
Big tech is just the most visible thing to people right now. Just like oil and steel and telecom were when those were broken up (and incidentally breaking those up didn't seem to last).
It doesn't apply within that window either.
"is nonsense"

What a total lie.

Do people actually work in / with govt who makes these statements? I just looked up a the current IRS checklist we've been forced to comply with which has driven lots of downline changes to all systems touching this system.

"Control access to sensitive information by requiring employees to use “strong” passwords that *must be changed on a regular basis.". This is not an option, and regular has been defined as 90 days. A previous job (yes, I'm totally aware of NIST guidance) they forced a move to 30 days. 30 days with 12 character passwords is a joke and they blocked copy and paste. EVERY password was on sticky notes by computers after that. They are $100M system implementations.

My point remains, the implementations of these things in the govt space is often the stuff of nightmares, and I have no idea who they are listening to for the money they spend.

Like all paradigms, it makes some things clearer and other things less clear. This one helps me keep my head straight about easy to ignore aspects of my relationship with the ones that would otherwise appear as being tamer, especially for instance Google.

The ones that seem out of place on your list are because their main business is something other than surveillance. Saying that Walgreens "patronizes the surveillance industry" does make more sense than labeling the whole company as doing that one thing. Although labeling the marketing group requesting all the trackers be added to their website as the "surveillance department" makes sense.

I think "surveillance" is a much better term than "ad" because the latter seems like just some harmless annoyance in line with American business values, whereas the former more accurately captures that the systems these companies are building are offenses against freedom and humanity.

I don’t know if any business has actively engaged in that sort of lobbying, but if I had to imagine a business interest it would be from schools, daycare, tutoring centers, sports programs, etc. If kids can’t be alone, they have to be with someone.

A case where we do have evidence of lobbying is remote schooling, where the education and well-being of children was sacrificed for the well-being of union affiliated teachers.
Yeah I will agree on this - higher pay higher stakes usually. I know a few that moved out of 996 companies and are much MUCH happier, and better compensated. One used the offer to solicit a counter-offer and extra vacation time at her current role so I guess it's not all terrible.
That’s exactly my thought. Except, in many of these cases it’s simply too late. In particular for retail, go to much of the country and the only options for restaurants, grocery, clothing, etc are national chains. Many of these areas just have a Walmart and that’s it. Fast food dominates (along with its hazards). Nothing was done to prevent this, which has been draining local economies for years, and now all the local competition is literally gone.
Reading the comments here, I'm curious why there are no disclosures found in this tread. It seem most of anti-bitcoin proponents are happy to hold a double standard due to their gleeful investment in the Fed's corrupt management of the USD.

Is it really any surprise those which aren't overly invested in the current house-of-cards are willing turn to what might amount to the wild-west of financial investments? Get off the self-righteous horse and drop that Pravda. All of your hands are dirty from the current propped up system, and your feigned ignorance of it's glaring mismanagement shows there's little to no value in the arguments here against using crypto.

> How about "private entities shouldn't be able to collect my information without my explicit consent"

Keeping a diary or a phone contact list would be forbidden under a strict reading of that rule. Even remembering the name of a person you met at a party would be forbidden unless you ask for explicit consent first. "Hey, Joe. Great to meet you. Mind if I make a mental note connecting your face to your name?" Real people don't think like this.

We all have a natural freedom to record facts we perceive in the world around them. Taken to its logical conclusion, privacy advocacy is about mandatory forgetting. No, thanks.

Immutability makes it easier to scale writes in a relational DB, but comes at the expense of more complexity and difficulty scaling reads. It's also problematic with regulation like GDPR / "right to be forgotten".

Immutability is definitely not a requirement for scaling a database. In my direct experience, the vast majority of large tech companies use mutable relational databases, with a write workload mixing INSERTs, UPDATEs, and DELETEs.
> I requested my job give me 2 months off (unpaid) so I can move into a new house and get everything set up

(Sharing how things worked at Google for your reference and in case anyone else is in a similar position)

I believe Google has decent support for unpaid leave. I never used it so I don't know for sure. But I think you could request unpaid leave as needed. They also had a sabbatical program up to 3 months. I believe it was essentially the same thing as unpaid leave, but it perhaps sent the message that you were working on a specific project. You're still considered a Google employee though so if you went off and built the next big thing, Google could assert ownership over it. The key thing with any of the unpaid leave is that you have to be on good terms with your team because you're essentially still occupying 1 of their headcount while you're gone. I also learned that Australia has a countrywide (?) sabbatical policy for long-term workers. I believe it was 10 years. I.e. after 10 years, you are entitled to a long paid leave (3 months?).

> I intend to take many months off when I eventually switch companies (however many years from now that is).

When I joined Google in 2015 I told them I needed a few months to wrap up my current job and then a month to travel around Europe. They weren't thrilled about it but they let me do it.
Can confirm, I have a friend who works as a federal agency employee (a different one than the IRS), and she constantly has to change her passwords - her agency DGAF about SP 800-63B Section 5.1.1.2 paragraph 9 (or, in fact, many of the other NIST password recommendations). GP comment is absolutely false.
This little screed just betrays a lack of knowledge about religion. The idea of gods as being imaginary beings that people believe to be, Idk, invisible or something rather than anthropomorphised representations of the laws of nature is a pretty low effort atheist trope.

I used to believe this stuff when I was a know-it-all 15 year old too and used to joke about the flying spaghetti monster, but I've since attempted to actually understand some of these ideas rather than dismissing religion as crazy imaginings by those stupid people from over 70 years ago and all of history before that, compared to us modern enlightened atheists. I was raised atheist and have only come to understand some Christian ideas via learning some philosophy and 20th and 21st century scientific theory.

I am completely outside of adtech influence and even I can recognize that the costs may outweight the benefits of the current state of government-attempted adtech regulation. Most arguing against these laws are either more libertarian wrt tech, or take umbrage with the specific nature and enforcement of the law.

The social sciences have a term—“WEIRD” (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic) to describe the population that most psychological and social science research has studied the most deeply. As the acronym implies, these populations are not normal across human history or even the modern world.

One of the fascinating concepts in abnormal psychology is the notion of a “culture-bound syndrome”—a mental illness that only occurs in a specific cultural milieu. I wonder how many mental illnesses are actually culture-bound syndromes of WEIRD culture?
A quantum computer with 27 qubits will at most be able to select the best solution among 2^27 = 134217728 possible solutions. This is trivial with modern non-quantum hardware.
