1) I agree with the overall thrust of listing achievements instead of just generic duties. However I would say that it can be difficult to do in some instances and so shouldn't be taken as dogma. It's even more difficult to do when you work in very large enterprises (where there are multiple layers of management and you own a very small bit but you do it exceedingly well)

2) I disagree with the listing of job title unless it's generic i.e. instead of 'Senior Product Manager', I think hiring managers should instead expect 'Product Manager'. This is important because titles differ wildly across companies. I have seen a large number of companies (especially startups) title a job as 'Director Product Management' or 'Head of Product' but the requirement is looking for someone with 3+ years of experience. In some other companies, a 'Director' must have multiple reports including a manager of others reporting to them while in others a Director is an Individual Contributor. Blend (the FinTech company) has an article on this - [a]

3) Unfortunately, companies (including Recruiters) still filter by Name brand schools (unless you have some exceptional public profile) so putting your brand name school at the top still looks good. If LinkedIn generates your resume, it will put your school at the top.

It is IMO but who is going to actually enforce that?
Fun fact: The same court ruled in 2008 that access providers may not be forced to block DNS: https://www.telemedicus.info/lg-hamburg-bestaetigt-wirkungsl...

This Hamburg court in particular has produced hundreds of scandalous injunctions over the years, many of which were overturned later.
I run chromeOS as my daily driver, and find a few android apps quite useful (I run linux apps too). There are lots of apps that are mobile-only which are nice to have a second copy of or use the big screen; google maps is possibly my favourite, much better than the web version.

There's also just more developer focus on android than windows for a lot of small apps like free VPNs, currency converters etc, leading to better choice/quality/discoverability than native windows apps.
Hell. It's horrible.
Ah you're right I do recall Windows Update installing a game by itself. That was freaking annoying because it happened when I was creating a master image in "audit mode". And you couldn't "generalize" it anymore in order to clone it, because a UWP app was installed.
Is this a chance for chrome to lose the dominant role in browsers market with the increase in privacy awareness for general population?
When I worked for an eBay seller ~5 years ago, we sold a lot of product on both eBay and Amazon Marketplace.

Given we often had inventory available in FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) and not in our own warehouse, we often fulfilled eBay orders via FBA.

I've been out of the business for awhile, I think the rules around this from eBay's end have changed. Regardless, it's common for sellers to use 3PL (third-party warehousing and fulfillment) services, FBA or otherwise.
I think the majority of mobile apps are very coupled to the mobile ecosystem. Or they exist to coverup the poor mobile web experience. I can use social media and messaging from any desktop web browser already. Anything geared around mobility or photography won't be very useful on a desktop. And at least a few apps just have "mobile only" as their edgy marketing strategy.

I get why this is potentially useful but I can't think a single app I'd actually use this way.
I just got

It's embarrassing how many of the comments here are quite obviously based entirely on reading the headline and nothing else. I read the article when I saw it in The Guardian yesterday, it is of course entirely about changes during the pandemic, not a general conversation about higher education.
I am a technician and my company recently had a cybersecurity incident where our OT systems were attacked. Very similar situation to the colonial pipeline incident. Everyone is so surprised until it happens to them but the reality is, these systems are not secure and you'd be surprised how often this happens to smaller companies with these systems
Look at the SPAC boom. Letting retail in creates many problems. There are too many scam artists in the world.

> In computer science, not releasing the code of an algorithm whose output you describe is akin to maliciously obfuscating your methods.

Well tell that to my advisor (it's also something I've done in the past). So my experience doesn't reflect your claim.

> No serious paper should be accepted without a script to reproduce the exact same results again.

You do realize that this is a pre-print, right? If it went to NeurlIPS then they did release the code to them and will release the code to the public later.
What a bizarre comment. A claim was made and I asked for supporting evidence. That's literally how civilized debate works. It's not my job to support your argument.

Also, I want to hear from Android enthusiasts. I've never owned an Android phone and wouldn't know a notable/popular app on the platform unless it was also popular on iOS. I doubt there are any apps that are in the Apple App Store but are sideload-only on Android. That just doesn't make sense.

Now, do you have any examples of notable Apps abandoning the Play Store and going sideload-only, or not?

If you don't want to debate, that's fine too.
> That's not a fair comparison. Hacker News isn't making user based recommendations based on the content of the article or user preferences, Facebook is.

Okay, then consider Reddit. Or Twitter. Or YouTube. Or Spotify's podcast recommendations. or Netflix's what to watch next recommendations.

Letting users indicate their interests and then receive recommendations according to their interests is core to every recommendation engine on the internet. Obviously we're not going to ban recommendations engines or disallow recommending content to users based on what they want to see.
I am curious as to what compels someone to admit in writing to committing fraud.
The current host is 1and1.. I don't think they support that, since they desperately are trying to sell you their own certificates. Also is shown on the certbot site with a big red cross :)
Either way, probably a good reason to finally switch hosts.
They might use Fuschia to replace the Linux kernel in Android, but Android would remain the same from an end user or app developer perspective.

They aren't just going to turf Android.
My guess is he used a self-directed IRA that he converted into a Roth.
Yes, and unsurprisingly urban centers (especially impoverished ones) have the most negative interactions with police, exacerbated by the heavy-handed presence.
Honestly I think that's what makes it (and C++) a great tool, despite the frustrations. I'd rather have a footgun than a nerf gun.
I don't see that as working as expected nor do I appreciate having to hunt and peck through settings to find this setting. The default should be for it to a polite application like any other. Awful defaults is exactly the dark pattern I'm complaining about. Just because Microsoft generously allows me to not have this awful behavior if I manually find this setting is not the big counter to my argument that you seem to think it is.
Thank you for sharing, this is amazing
Why does it matter to you as an end user, if they change the version number?
I would say that this mostly mirrors how I feel about it now. I'd say the first year I was excited, Black Friday level deals in the summer, sign me up! Then when it happened I was seeing products like kitchen waste baskets or spatulas that were more expensive than target because of "free" shipping.
Exactly. It is still a scam. Even worse if you're doing a degree that has little to no job prospects. For example, 'Why you should not do a PhD in History.' [0]

I do not blame the students of this year to dispute about paying for the university fees when they are going to either retake because their exams were cancelled (due to COVID) or the quality of the course was not good enough and is not worth it.

COVID just made it even glaringly obvious and worse.

I've been running Linux on my personal desktop for years now. Unless you want to play games or require it for work I'm not sure what advantages windows really has anymore. Linux is noticeably faster, has no ads, and is Unix based.
Fun fact - poor people used the internet just fine before 2006.

Likely an unreasonable ask, specially considering that you folks are just starting out - but have you considered adding a free tier for hobbyists and pet projects?

Most of you competitors have some form of free tier and cheapo devs like me would prefer to embrace some complexity over paying upfront for just simple projects. the $5 starting bit is great but is not the same as a limited free tier.

Overall love the idea and wish you all the best. Love the minimalistic/functional UX of the site as well.
I think you have an interesting idea, but might not be thinking of the physics involved.

> The minimum distance from the Earth to Mars is about 54.6 million kilometers. The farthest apart they can be is about 401 million km. The average distance is about 225 million km.

Loosely, the speed of light is ~300,000km/s. So 182s, 1333s, and 750s as an absolute minimum length of time from end to end.

So, there are varying orbits, that's one problem. The other problem is getting items into solar orbits.

I didn't think of this, but now you have an even bigger problem of trying to keep those items in some sort of array that is in a direct line between Earth<->Mars.

If we hand-wave away that problem, the next problem is that each hop is adding latency, so, the direct answer is: no, it makes things slower, and it's a significantly harder problem than just communicating across that distance.
Facebook doesn't decide, they just enforce.

Some shadowy group of "our betters" does the deciding, and somehow these decisions appear in TV personalities with remarkable swiftness.

The right probably feels the same about AoC. And the left tucker Carlson. The list goes on.
> "What has been most shocking to me is the normalizing of postmodern thinking in American politics and journalism. The idea that there is an objective reality, facts, truth/falseness, e.g. the sum of votes for candidate A was greater than for candidate B, seems quaint and naive. There are now only competing narratives and “alternative facts” that you have on the menu to choose from. It all seems quite fucked up to me."

the irony being that this is all assertive, emotive opinion and no rationale, no chain of plausible statements to consider and weigh, a narrative to either agree with or implicitly be relegated to the "fucked up" contingent.

emotions, which lead to narratives, are (perhaps more primitive) mental processes that help us survive (perhaps imperfectly) in the world. it's worth understanding and exploring that, rather than reeling off an overly dismissive, and ironically twitter-worthy, rant.
I've been coding C++ off and on since 1998. But not all the code I use is written by me... not even most of it. I'd love it if everyone followed best practices... but they don't.

Curiously (and annoyingly) enough, when I type "update" in Windows search the top result is, invariably, "Microsoft Teams."
Probably because Facebook is full of dark patterns and slowly tries to force this kind of content back onto you all the time so you're constantly fighting a riptide of ads, political garbage, and memes when all you want to see if updates about the lives of friends and family.

I know that I have trouble fighting that riptide. My family doesn't stand a chance. Too many friends and family members who are too old to fight that effect have been slowly polarized politically because they're helpless against Facebook's engagement metrics.
I'll add onto this appreciation post. I really enjoy reading things on HN but the perspective on issues like this tends to be very one-sided.

Anecdotally, pretty much every trans space I participate in is usually full of people trying to be themselves without getting fired, disowned, or murdered. There is nary a mention of going into women's or men's spaces without passing first AND some pressing need where a public bathroom cant be avoided. The fact that so much focus in this discussion is on use-cases which most people agree aren't practical already paints it in a suspicious light.

The image painted here is very much giving the impression that bad faith activists are the primary worry of society rather than most trans people trying to figure out if they have the right to exist in the society in the first place.

With attention being drawn to us yet again by a conservative party trying to distract its base from its own policy failures, it is hard to have this cyclical discussion again and again without getting exhausted. At least every time this hits the mainstream it feels like there is a little progress.

There's a massive amount of premined chia controlled by the "chia strategic reserve".

It will take a decade for the amount of mined value to equal the pre-mined value.
They don’t indicate any specific requirements, so presumably it will be free for pretty much everyone with a windows 10 license.
As I said, it’s a well known case. But it seems like you can show proof of “regular” German business men or women who were punished much harder? Would you be so kind to drop some names and links?
Not sure you read the article?

This isn't a case of caving to the lawyers. Those lawyers got a JUDGE to grant an INJUCTION. Once that happens, you're not caving to lawyers - you're going to follow the letter of that injunction while you appeal it, or throw up your hands and follow it forever.

Also FTA:
"We have retained counsel, and we are in the process of filing an objection to the injunction, though we are required to comply with it."

So they're not throwing their hands up...

I'm not sure if it's bad that he invested in startups with that money. It's quite risky and if discourage it for that reason. If we implemented your proposal of capping the amount of shielded returns the problem would be gone. Most of this problem word be gone even with a very high cap in the tens millions.

On the other hand, are we optimizing for an edge case that gets media attention but is ultimately insignificant? Edge cases often make bad laws.
Absolutely. Way less janky than Mac's implementation of running iOS apps. While you can use mobile apps on your Windows laptop using native touch controls, on your Mac laptop you have to use that weird trackpad-driven interface.

IIRC, as it relates to BeOS, Apple was going to acquire BeOS or NeXT and opted for NeXT.

If Apple had gone with BeOS, the computing world would probably be a very different place today, given all the great things Apple did after Steve Jobs came back.

An alternate reality where Apple acquires BeOS over NeXT does make for an interesting "what if" story though.
I've actually just gone through the process of integrating my currency API [1] with Micro. I really liked the idea for this service and actually just emailed them asking your exact question! The process was smooth and I was impressed by their clear communication and very responsive development work.

I've been a user of RapidAPI as both an API publisher & consumer and I think I prefer this Micro model instead - API curation, standardized docs etc. etc. RapidAPI can feel like a bit of a free for all and even though it's technically one entity proxying everything it's often felt to me like more of a list of random services than something cohesive. I can definitely see why Micro is describing their service as a sort of AWS of useful APIs.

> Left aligned makes a ton of sense until you exceed a horizontal resolution of 2k or so. The web realized this ages ago

I think you're comparing apples and oranges though - with web pages, the issues are readability and aesthetics, whereas with the taskbar it's that icons are where you expect them to be (when centred, they will move as you open more windows).

IMO, a more apt comparison is the tabs of a browser, rather than the content the browser is showing.
Isn't there some way to ensure that what you typed is what is being executed? Dropping characters from the terminal sounds terrifying.

I don't know enough about ssh and terminals to know if it's possible to type "12345" and see "12345" echoed back to me but really what the remote session sees is "1245".
Came here to say pretty much this; add to that Bill Gates' "the internet is just a passing fad" attitude at the time, this comes across as a complete whitewash of history. I know it's just a PR fluff piece so it's not like I'm going to write any angry letters, but I had to shake my head a bit at that.
That's like saying the foundation supported a scientist working on building more coal-fired power plants. ETH, along with crypto in general, is harmful to society. Weird flex.
Indirect revenue is why this is sustainable! Good on Microsoft for making the right choice here.
Correct you can left align the buttons but there is no longer settings related to locking the taskbar and dragging it does nothing in the leaked build.

Hopefully that changes however with the new widgets fly-in from the left side it may be locked to the bottom similar to the dock on iOS.

Thiel then used the wealth amassed in his Roth to invest in other startups

How? I thought the whole point is you can't touch this money? Did he take on loans, promising to pay them back once he was 60?

In 2004, he provided Facebook's first large outside cash infusion, investing $500K. His Facebook shares would grow tax-free in his Roth.

I'm not sure I understand. Did he invest in FB and independently purchase shares (less than 2k pa) in his Roth? So the 500K was not the private purchase of shares?
It's damn near as annoying as Microsoft's harassment.
One of the warnings I read going in to my own (only 10 day) water fast was that it can have a detrimental effect on the muscle mass of your heart. Did you observe any decrease in cardiovascular function?
There are few categories of apps this targets.

“Clubhouse for Android” category: avant- grade apps that launch first on Android or define android platform. Nonexistent.

“Median phone user ecosystem:” The TikTok Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, Snapchat, China app ecosystem and India app ecosystem. The experience of all these is bad on Windows browsers or unavailable.

”Games”: hard to say, because Windows is a better platform for games than Android by 10x.

This doesn’t sound very strategy driven. If it’s UX driven, hard to see how it competes with the median user getting an iPhone. This is the case with the consumer in China, where despite 30 Android app stores and lots of innovation / competition the iPhone is still preferred by those who can afford it.
But they weren't on the lists that I saw.
Ask HN: Experiences with the E-2 Visa
Hi everyone,

I've been looking into moving to the US for a bit.

Since I own 50% of my company and I'm a citizen of a country that has a treaty with the US, the E-2 Visa seems like an obvious choice.

Looking at the other visas, I definitely don't qualify for any of those (e.g. the O-1)

Canada's still a really good/easy option for me, which I'm considering as well, but I'd still prefer to move to the US.

I wish the TN visa for Canadian citizens allowed you to hire yourself in the US, but I can understand why that'd be a loophole they need to prevent.

So it really does look like I'm stuck with using the E-2 visa.

From everything I've read, I'm pretty confident that I would be able to qualify for the E-2 Visa (investment required, business plan etc.)

But my concern is renewals, since it seems like they want to see that you've actually stuck to your business plan (which is fair enough I suppose), and you have to submit a new business plan.

So my impression is that you'll have to continually show growth in the business.

I do believe in my business, but risking getting denied and having to return to my home country isn't a risk I'd like to take.

I've contacted a couple of immigration law firms regarding this, but I've not received any replies days later (including Peter Roberts who posts here pretty often)

I also know how easy it is to pick the wrong lawyer and have them mess up your application.

Can anyone shed light on their experiences with the E-2 visa? (initial application, renewals etc.)

Also, if anyone has any immigration lawyer recommendations for the E-2 visa that would be great.
The trailer made me feel like a dumb windows user who doesn't know how to do anything. Those big zoomed in windows, buttons and other interfaces felt popping directly on face. What does it offer for power users?
What seems most unfair here is how difficult dealing with private equity is as a normal person; the entire purpose of the Roth IRA is that you do not pay any taxes afterwards, and that is how it functions for everyone, whether you are rich or not. On the other hand, the same cannot be said about the ability to purchase, find, and work with private equity. I understand many publications may dislike certain people (as one can note from who they choose to mention the most), but I don't see a reason why he would decline using tax-advantaged accounts just because he has attained significantly larger wealth and roi than most others using them.
IMO the only thing he did "wrong" was to make excellent returns within the bounds of a tax vehicle and with investment classes that most of us are typically excluded (accreditation, VC exclusivity)

If we should be mad about anything it's that it's so difficult for the general public to get a good slice of diversification including the asset classes that turn 1000s into millions.

Yes we can go work at a startup, but that is all the eggs in one basket. Better to spread that risk around 10+ investments like VCs do
'graphql-ts-client' is a graphql client for TypeScript, it has two functionalities:

1. Supports GraphQL queries with strongly typed code.

2. Automatically infers the type of the returned data according to the strongly typed query(This is the essential difference between this framework and other similar frameworks, and it is also the reason why I created it).
