Should savvy readers interpret all of their principles as Orwellian doublespeak?

Seems like selecting leaders who are gullible enough to believe these are all already true about Amazon would be a useful technique for screening out critical thinkers who would argue against immoral business decisions.
DemandStar | Senior Fullstack/Backend Engineer | Remote (US only) | Full-time, no contract | https://www.demandstar.com | Contact careers@demandstar.com for more info.

DemandStar is a two-sided marketplace that makes a complicated, expensive, and confusing process - government procurement - open, transparent, and accessible to any small business in the country, while saving city and local governments taxpayer money. Governments post solicitations on our platform and suppliers can bid on them.

We're looking for a senior fullstack engineer (although with a heavy focus on backend work) to help us build the pipes to support a huge amount of growth. We’re a react frontend in the middle of a Typescript migration with a .Net backend we’re looking to port over to node. There are lots of opportunities to collaborate on big engineering and product challenges.

A few bullet points to hopefully pique your interest:

* We make a free eProcurement platform for city and local governments, then connect them to our supplier network to create more responses and more competition, and generate significant taxpayer savings.

* We facilitated 3 billion dollars of transactions in 2020.

* 20 person company

* We have about 750 active governments and around 120k suppliers using the platform.

* We have revenue, and closed a $2M funding round in April of last year.

* There’s a group of employees based in the Greater Seattle area, but we are committed to building a distributed-first team - even after COVID. In addition to Washington, we have employees in New Jersey, Georgia, Colorado, California, Maryland, and Oregon.

* We have a strong belief in building a healthy culture where people aren’t working 60-hour weeks.

If you're interested in working on something that has real world positive impact across small (and big) town America, can save tons of taxpayer money, helps small businesses win lucrative government contracts... send a resume our way! We'd love to talk.
NC senators pass medical marijuana bill in committee vote
While I agree it is a little misleading, websites do not have to use the legal definitions of words. If they said "Twitter 'troll' settles to pay six-figure sum in damages" Then it would have been fine, with no confusion.
I completely misunderstood the title thinking it was about 'mediocrity of others'.

For myself there's a huge range in between mediocrity and being remembered by strangers after my death. At the end of your life you will judge how well you fulfilled your own principles. The best you can hope for is that you have found the principles that will stick with you and that you're living up to them. Effectively you create a unique value system, a sort of sandbox game with the world as the sandbox. If others share your principles you can play together. Find passion, and strive. Remember that most regrets in the end are not for what you've done but rather not done.

Mozilla either reassigned or laid off all engineers working on Servo, you can see when they did it in the graph.

I'm not sure what to think of that number. Did you feel it was too small or too big at the time?
Causal | 1st Sales Hire | London or Remote

Causal (https://causal.app) is a new kind of spreadsheet for performing calculations, visualising data, and communicating with numbers. We take the good parts of Excel and combine them with the good parts of programming, to make number-crunching fast, collaborative, and accessible to everyone.

We have strong early traction selling to finance/FP&A teams, and are hiring our first salesperson to help us scale. You'll have a lot of ownership, working closely with me and my co-founder, and the potential to define the trajectory of the company over the next few years. This role would suit an ex-founder or someone with 1+ years experience in B2B SaaS sales.

We're a small team, well-funded by some great VCs (Accel, Coatue) and angel investors (Naval Ravikant, Scott Belsky, and many more) across the US and Europe.

Wow, amazingly said. One thing few people talk about is how this type of competition can cause depression and other issues if you believe and think about every waking hour of the day. This is especially true in certain regions like the SF Bay Area where everyone seems to be an over achiever.
I think it is a Linux Foundation project now and Mozilla does not have any formal involvement
Care to expand on this? Component props seem quite straightforward where I stand and Typescript support has improved drastically over the preceding months

Most phones secured bootloaders are hacked in less than 6 months if there is sufficient interest in the model. So if treatment of this as a huge security threat that makes other rights moot is valid then most of us should be able to return our improperly secured phones before their warranty is up.

Really helpful article. Thinking about diving into Svelte. I'm a huge fan of react-query[0] so I was wondering, is there a good alternative for it in Svelte? Would you recommend svelte-query[1]. Thanks.

Back in the day, most hardware couldn’t send data without having the user press ‘send’.

A shared system that could survive being interrupted whenever any of its users pressed a key still was relatively rare.

So I guess this might ¿partly? Have been to show of the capabilities of the system. At 1200 or maybe even 300 baud, it may also be the better UX, but I wouldn’t know.

> Change.org is a $260 million company, according to a 2017 valuation provided by data analytics firm PitchBook.

I honestly had no idea that change.org did anything beyond online petitions or that they had 217 employees. Their website doesn’t say much about how they make money, other than a link to become a member. Are they really pulling in significant amounts of money from contributions, or do they have some other business that isn’t immediately obvious? What am I missing?
If Mozilla no longer plans to move forward with it and use it, it's dead. Nothing can save it. So what does it mean "don't let it die". I mean are bunch of people supposed to develop a modern browser engine on the side as a hobby or something? That's hilarious considering even MICROSOFT couldn't keep up, and switched to Chromium.
Which says more about them than about the girl they are afraid of.
It never fails to amuse me -- in that kind of bitter ironic "oh, humanity, how you never fail to become the thing you hate" fashion -- that people who once wailed about voices being silenced and certain (favored) people being "erased" or being told that they should not be alive have effortlessly rotated to complaining that someone out there should not exist.
I have a discomfort about people showing off their consumption habits or tastes. The other day I read a sentence like, "I admire a person who listens to tasteful music, does their research and has a carefully curated music hobby" or something. As if there's a pride or effort to be had in being a "more discerning" passive consumer.
Maybe I should have left off the last part b/c it's a bit provocative :) Yeah, the language itself is built on macros - but as a language user you don't really care as it's an implementation detail. I guess my point is that you could know nothing about macros and still use Clojure very productively. Selling Clojure as another Lisp feels like sell a car for its cupholders. The data structures, syntax, JVM interop, REPL etc. are more interesting and have little to do with Lisp. But that's just my opinion as a casual user
You don't have weekends, health coverage, paid vacations, medical leave, or maternity/paternity leave?
1. Why? Firefox is good and polished for my use cases. What does Servo offer that Firefox does not?

2. How? Browsers are complicated, and I'm not sure I would be a help as a contributor. What can I do?

Some history here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servo_(software)

Mozilla implemented some of the stable parts of Servo in Gecko, but abandoned the project in 2020 and handed its governance over to the Linux Foundation. It’s been in maintenance mode since.
I don’t have much experience with unions. Here in Norway they seem to be common and a couple of my colleagues are union members. Employment is not “at-will” and so employees already have a lot of rights. From what I understand, the benefits of joining a union are more for salary negotiation, housing loans, and other life benefits. I’d be interested to learn more from anyone who has experience with unions in Norway.
> Things like "hey is sustained 60 hours a week really acceptable" "why do I have to put work email on my phone and be responsive 24/7" and "it's been 7 years boss and we haven't gotten new workstations" are all things that are up for bargaining.

Do SWEs in the US actually have any of these problems? Maybe I'm spoiled by my FAANG job but I find it hard to imagine these kinds of work conditions even at a non-FAANG tech company.
Yes but don't underestimate the number of wastefully run businesses either.
> "Since then, over 20,000 businesses have started with Atlas and have generated over $3 billion in revenue"

This is an interesting stat. I realize the math isn't this simple ... but that implies the average revenue one of these businesses generated over the course of the last 5 years is $150,000.
(I work at Stripe and have worked on Stripe Atlas.)

We're always on the lookout for more ways to support the growth of the Internet economy, and have been looking in detail at which entity types and "hubs" would unlock the most opportunity for our users and for people who we talk to. As always, we'll announce our work here when/if it is ready to be used.
TPM used for secure boot, (hypothetically) used to block installing non-windows OS, means the owner is forced to using an OS that has telemetry.

That is the argument I suppose OP was making. The secure boot locking is hypothetical, but it is often feared. I get why, because it seems like something Microsoft would love to do.

Also, as a general aside to web devs, if we need captchas, can we at least use something less obnoxious and more privacy friendly, like:

https://friendlycaptcha.com/

I put this on my signup form and have had zero spam since, and it has very little impact on user experience. The fact that it doesn't feed the google surveillance machine is a bonus.
As someone who spent two weeks trying to get a Typescript project working under Webpack when migrating to Vue 3, by stitching together a web of gratuitous tooling and transpilers that ultimately did not work (I went with Vite and it was all working in 2 hours)...

Also, I just checked out an old Flask/Python project from 7 years ago, updated it to use Poetry dependency management, and it all still works. A JS project that is 7 months old and unmaintained would be a dumpster fire.
Software is never alive nor dead. The question is if it can keep up with the moving target of modern web standards, or if it can even provide limited compatibility.
I don't think Mozilla cares anymore.

To me, all they do is look busy and try to milk the cow until it dies.

I still use Firefox on all my devices and I don't plan to change but I don't see them even wanting to offer something good.
Fern Creek Software | Louisville KY | 100% Remote

Fern Creek is a software consulting company. We build stuff for other people, usually in .NET on Azure but we do other stuff occasionally. The company has been around since I started consulting independently about 20 years ago. Recently I started taking on larger projects that need more people and as a result, started hiring people. Sometimes a 1099, sometimes W2.

This is not super sexy stuff where you will get options that might be worth millions, but likely worth nothing. What you will get is a load of experience on new tech (asp.net core, azure, blazor etc) and a great focus on the best feature of all...shipping.

The job is remote so you don't have to be in Louisville though if you are close that is cool. Set your own hours and all that, I want pros not people that need babysitting.

3 openings right now...

-Full stack dev (C#, asp.net core, sql server etc)

-DevOps/Automation/QA dev (unit testing, selenium, azure devops)

-Mobile dev (Xamarin, React Native)

Live the stress free life, work from home, build some cool tech, make money, be happy etc etc.

Far too often author's intent is to deceive. On better channels less so, but even then I can't stand those typical youtube thumbnails with exaggerated facial expressions and big titles. I now it works for them, but for me personally it makes the world a worse place. I also recognize, that if this extension would gain a major following authors would once again put those in video. With video previews it is also less of a concern.

What do we do about this? How does one go about jamming this kind of signal? I want to inoculate people against this kind of nonsense.

IMO, if we were capable of decentralizing more of our systems, that might help. Reduce the efficacy of these tactics and you might be able to starve the beast.

Culturally, I think doing away with hero worship could go a long way towards mitigating Bernays-style influencing. But then, how do you execute on that?

If I could fix just one problem, I wouldn't be upset if it were this one. It's such a sticky mess, though.

What do you mean by "couldn't keep up"?

Edge (old) felt totally usable and some say that outperformed at 4K watching its competitors

I don't think they couldn't keep up from tech standpoint
IDK, I mean, people are employed. That's a good thing right?
While visual learning through YouTube is a step up in terms of tacit knowledge transmission I think the example of becoming a world class athlete by watching YouTube videos is probably really an exception and mentorship and a comprehensive environment to learn in are very important.

Samo also lists (heart) surgery as an example and I think it would be very hard to learn this at any level of excellence from footage alone. (obviously also hard to test given the lack of volunteers I imagine). But there's a huge tactile component that just gets absorbed by osmosis in a real world setting and that's hard to replicate from a screen. Same with woodworking and some of the other examples given. Even labwork in fields such as chemistry has a surprising amount of 'art' to it that one wouldn't expect just from observing.
Think we're mixing up two things here: Google monopolizes the Web as a runtime with constant forward motion on the standards; no browser vendor can keep up, this is true.

However web dev practice has been driven by Facebook and its quasi-functional programming advocates for at least 5 years now (Redux/React). There's a whole generation of Web Devs that don't know that DOM Event handlers can be objects that bear the handleEvent interface because React prohibits that application for example, but that's a whole world of memory efficient async handling rather than generating throwaway functions for ever little thing
I have associates degree in electronics tech and did go for my full engineering degree, but failed out...twice. I cannot for the life of me reliably pen-and-paper-clock-ticking solve complex equations. I even payed out the ass for a top tier tutor, no luck. I very firmly reached the "Maybe this just isn't for you" point. But with my own work and in my job, being really bad at high level calculus or diff eq has never even cropped up much less been a detriment (Well it does crop up, but in the SPICE simulator/circuit simulator).

Oddly enough the engineering lead here is an uncredentialled engineer, but he was also the first employee 25 years ago so I suppose he is grandfathered in. Not that he doesn't deserve it either, he is wildly knowledgeable and capable.

bit of a comically large oversight, impressive it took this long for someone to notice
Just because you can come up with original sentences doesn't mean you invented English.
Looking at the skill they're looking for on their hiring page: https://careers.change.org/

Seems like it's a Ruby/React stack on AWS. Looks like they're trying to grow internationally (hiring "campaigners" in Japan).
Ask HN: The Robinhood story is an example of which philosophy moral dilemma(s)?
Hello HN. I've never studied philosophy academically, but reading about Robinhood it feels like history is repeating itself.

I'm SURE that there are parables/dilemmas/ideas that are similar to what's going on here. This seems well studied. Is it e.g. a special case of the trolley problem?
