You started with "Gmail" and then switched to "email".

Much of what you say is not true with email in general. I own my own domain and I absolutely can take my email address anywhere.

Also, keep in mind that people typically pay for phone service. I do not think you can demand portability if a company provides you a phone number for free (which some do).

If you want portability for email, buy your own domain.
Yes, a database, on your phone, connected to the internet, with applications everyone else has also connected to the internet. You don't have to singularly exploit every individual phone with brand new attacks. You design one attack and use it again and again.

Targeted attacks are no longer a "rarity", it's the natural result of having singular software platforms. Iphones are very popular, and very wealthy and powerful people use them, therefore they become a very lucrative target. Snowden was talking about the Pegasus project before we even knew the name of it. The ability to just exploit someones phone via a text message, no user interaction. There are plenty more where that came from, don't worry.
Here is an example for VPP, ~8Gbps/core of IPsec forwarding with AES-256-GCM and IMIX traffic on Skylake @2.3GHz: https://docs.fd.io/csit/master/report/vpp_performance_tests/...

Note that thanks to AES-NI vectorization (an example of hw acceleration I was referring to) it reaches more than 16Gps/core on the same test on Icelake.

Those numbers can grow up to 50% for big packets (1500-bytes and higher).

With a high performance stack, IPsec (and Wireguard for that matter) workloads are limited by crypto performance, not packet processing performance, and the perf difference between IPsec with AES-256-GCM and Wireguard is basically the perf difference of AES-256-GCM vs Chacha20-Poly1305 of your platform.
Unfortunately leaving it at just a "do over" does actual harm to employees; namely that their unjust compensation and work conditions aren't rectified through union action. As long as that's cheaper to Amazon then there's no incentive to change. And so I still believe that this a do over is good direction but not enough.
> like almost every fast growing tech giant

This is rubbish and actually offensive.

Tim Cook, Sundar Pichai, Jack Dorsey, Patrick Collison, Brian Chesky etc. are not abusive. And in fact if you look at all of the fastest growing companies the pattern is for them to be moved out if they are abusive or have troubling behaviour.

Stop perpetuating this myth that the industry tolerates behaviours that other companies don't because by doing so it actually encourages it.
It seems like the optimal strategy would be to do the minimum and then job hop since the pay increase is greater and getting a raise for working hard is not certain.

I personally have not seen much correlation between pay working hard and getting pay raises, it seems about as likely as getting one for doing the minimum, and the effort to dollars ratio is usually not worth while. I don't want to put in 50% more effort only to get a 5-10% raise. Plus, as stated before, switching jobs results in much bigger pay increases making the raises irrelevant.
> The increase is quadratic.

In that case UTC has the same problem (steadily increasing numbers of leap seconds till we run out of places^Wtimes to put them), so we may as well have a less defective timekeeping system in the mean time.
Love this.

The massive opportunity here is the conversion of existing low engagement mediums to high engagement voice and video which would include the following verticals (education, content creation, feedback, to name a few).

I understand where the negative comments within the sales / marketing use case come from, but it's important to realize the main KPI in that vertical is conversion, and sales orgs could care less about any other metrics aside from that. This may come at the cost of consumers treatment, but this happens within sales already with predatory practices such as hypertargeting, etc.

And obviously any technology within the umbrella of deepfake can be misused, so I'm less concerned about those types of comments.
Completely agree. I actually do understand feeling like you're not part of the mainstream culture if you're not in a major city like NYC or LA. But that is not even close to the same thing as the problems of the marginalized communities the author wants to connect this to (who are either poor, have disabilities, have been targeted by racism, etc.)

I also find this whole style of argument very dubious. The author clearly started from the conclusion first here - that it's important to consider the needs of marginalized groups - which they believe in for purely moral/ideological reasons. And then they're somewhat awkwardly and very transparently back-fitting a different rationale in front of it and arguing that actually this is what's best for your business. The argument is flimsy, and it's also entirely beside the point. If convincing counter-evidence were brought up that shows this entire argument is flawed, is the author going to reverse their stance and say "ok, I was wrong, let's just ignore marginalized groups because they aren't that important to the bottom line"? Of course not.

I feel like this kind of back-fitting argument probably does more harm than good, and might just end up back firing later. Let's just be honest about what we're asking for here - we want companies to consider the needs of marginalized groups, for its own sake because it's the right thing to do.
Ask HN: File sharing setup to share large files with remote contractors?
So I have a home setup and I am currently having to upload videos to Dropbox and Google Drive to share them with remote contractors. Unfortunately the file sizes are massive, (mostly raw and 4K video) and I have a lot of them so the above solutions are slow, expensive and inefficient as they have to re-upload the final editing videos so that I can access them.

So my first thought was instead of Google Drive or Dropbox or such, I'd just use regular old drive sharing or NT userids/passwords to allow access to the contractors to various bits of a server instead of having to upload everything elsewhere first. I bought a box for video editing, it has two external drives, a very fast one and a very stable one. Raw video and all the necessary video assets are located on the fast one, and are backed up to the very stable one, with the editing software on the box itself. Given it would take a bunch of time to upload to Google Drive or Dropbox, I'd rather just give someone access to what they need to do the job, then they can upload the edited video directly to me.

Is there any open-source/self hosted solution for such a setup?

What is the best setup/software to use for this?
should we presume this was strategically ordered by upper management and not just someone at the location just assumed outside material wasn't allowed?
You can very easily write a "safe" version of that function that will not type check and in this case you don't even need dependent types. So: bad example on your part.
Would like to know if there are any large companies that actually defy this general rule. Costco is a common counter-example, but even they’re imperfect:

Speed gains maybe not, however on current x86 platform there is a 2x perf difference between AES-256-GCM and Chacha20-Poly1305, so even if we get "only" 2x I'd be delighted.
C is almost context-free with the exception of typedef. A custom parser helps with error diagnostics, e.g. missed semicolon or a "." swapped with "->".

I'm halfway through Bad Blood (after having already read Musk's and Jobs's iconic biographies) and have been thinking about such comparisons.

Were there specific differences that made Musk and Jobs successful compared to Holmes in spite of their flaws, or is it just random dice outcomes that explain why the former managed to turn the impossible into possible and the latter didn't?
I remember doing something similar a few years ago, I needed autocomplete for a shipping ports field, the data was too big though so I ended up using a csv file in an aws lamda function that filters based on the selected country and returns a much smaller subset. It lazy loaded after the user selected the country. To keep response times low I had to do a binary search on the raw csv bytes. It felt like I was reinventing databases but I liked the idea of it being self contained in a function.
China's population is starting to decline this year (if I'm not mistaken) but from a high of quite a lot. More importantly when are they going to put Winnie the Pooh out to pasture? It's very little about the Chinese people and much more about the current leadership. Where's Deng Xiaoping when you need him?
You might be able to influence the output voltage somewhat by dwindling with the passives, but there is no code running anywhere that you could manipulate.
Yeah the tiresome hit pieces are why I seldom browse news websites directly. It is a clear case of a Big Lie in action.
This is true in many cases but internal transfers can still make sense.

Searching costs are a lot lower internally (no leetcoding needed in most cases, hopefully) and you are more likely to be able to land something outside of your current skillset, increasing your long term compensation and job security.
20% used to be good. These days, it’s something like 35-80%, it seems, according to Blind. My last job swap resulted in a 100% pay increase (10 YoE).
It's wrong to blame users. To please Greenpeace, Apple removed PVC from their cables (maybe only in some markets?). Such cables deteriorated on their own. First they swelled up and turned gray near the MagSafe connector, then turned yellow, and finally became brittle and fell apart in sticky dark green bits.

I have never seen any cable, even under great stress, fall apart like that. It was an obvious chemical change, not physical stress.

I suspect deterioration was either due to heat transmitted from the chassis over the MagSafe connector, or from finger oils, as people touch the cable most near the connector.
I use litz wire for headphone cables. For a cable that's constantly on you, there's always some chance something happens unexpectedly. I've broken my share of earpods.
Don't think they are generally psychopaths, but they need to have some (most of them as I see the 'rules' on Google that make you a psychopath) tendencies that would rank high on the list. You explain it with having a lot on their minds and that's a positive spin; the other explanation is that they are just humans and they just do whatever they are driven to by their vision trampling over whatever in their way in any way possible because they work that way and they have the money to do so.
Their first choice was apparently to join and serve the Nazis, the USA was their second choice when that one didn't quite pan out as expected.
As always, do your refresher: http://spotthedrowningchild.com/

Seeing the word “ethics” emphasized, followed by “sure they helped Nazis but...” was really something. Congratulations, I guess.

The 1st Amendment is extremely clear. The only ones calling it "ambiguous" are those looking to invent exceptions to it out of whole cloth. "What, 'no law' whatsoever? Clearly the authors and the representatives who passed this amendment couldn't have possibly objected to my reasonable proposals, so there must be some subtle nuance of interpretation at odds with the perfectly plain and unambiguous language."
Similar for the Netherlands and Belgium
If you own your own domain and use that with Gmail, you absolutely can switch to another provider and keep your email address if Gmail bans you.

Using your car analogy: If Honda provides me a car for free, I don't expect them to allow me to do whatever I want with the car that I don't own.
And on their - still - crap keyboards.
I've heard this line of reasoning before, but it feels weak & the absurdity is obvious if you apply it to any other scenario (replace "Amazon" and "union" with "Republican" and "Democrat" & then swap the positions around - it's not a valuable statement as it conveys very little information beyond virtue signalling & an appeal to emotion).

If you don't show up and present your case, the other side could win by default, not because they make the best case.

You're basically advocating for presenting a one-sided view to people and having them make a decision that way. This would imply that the union has a morally higher ground but I find that hard to believe as a union is just composed of people who are going to just employ the same tactics as Amazon if they could (albeit more limited at this time due to financial & structural reasons).
CDs and DVD degrade over time, I think this is primarily those with home recording CD / DVD-Rs. I am not sure what the difference is with Factory made CDs or DVDs like Music CD or DVD from Playstation 2 but those seems to be fine. I think I need to look this up that you have brought it to my attention.

But do HDD last longer if they are unplugged. And only start up when they are needed? In that case wouldn't an NAS putting HDD to sleep most of the time would prolong the life time of HDD?
I don't think i had heard of LTTng before. It sounds really neat. Can anyone share any experience with it?
You are allowed but there is a reason old people are not very angry anymore. They have learned to be humble though life, realizing people tend to do their best. If someone is not performing at work, it's usually because of motivation, and that's the job of a good manager to create.

But I think the American culture is quite different from what I'm used to so maybe I sound weird in this context. :)
Anger generally is anchored to something that is being threatened - it is a defense mechanism.

Sometimes, like if you’re angry at an opposing tribesman for attacking your village, it can be helpful. Other times, it can lead to acting out in ways that hurt you (like being so angry you don’t pay attention to your surroundings and get ambushed while trying to counter attack said enemy).

There are many possible scenarios - anger at the threat to his stock valuations, or anger at the threat to his public image, or anger at the threat to the illusion he personally held that everything was going ok, or anger and frustration at his inability to get control of the situation in a productive way, which is a threat to many of these things.

Most abuse is when a person is unable to properly manage and avoid painful emotions (such as anger), and projects fault and bad intent onto others - to scapegoat for instance as a maladaptive behavior they haven’t learned an alternative to, among other reasons.

What is being described in the article is classic abusive behavior, no matter the venue. It is not ok, in any environment, and it causes destruction and missed opportunities anywhere it is deployed.

The reason I think you don’t see that in his public persona because he knows it isn’t ok - but can’t control it sometimes, or even worse, thinks it’s a good thing when he can do it in ‘private’. He ‘knows how to treat his woman so he gets dinner on time’, as it were, and she’d better put her makeup on better so he doesn’t look bad in front of his friends

I expect there are many internal witch hunts ongoing for leakers after this, and have been for other leaks too. Since after all, in his eyes it is not the behavior that is wrong, it’s being embarrassed in public that is.
You realise there are fewer of them?

There's no money there either, after a division.
I don't know why anyone would take that book seriously. The author made up the story about Musk demanding to be CEO of Apple, then doubled down when both Musk and Cook denied it. An astonishing example of journalistic malpractice. In any other time this would be career-ending

when he invested, he was granted the title of both ceo and co-founder, even though the company was already 4 or 5 years old iirc
Good luck but the laws of physics, chemistry and economics are against you... just saying!
That's a pretty cool GaN (gallium nitride) charger. I'm guessing that it uses the InnoSwitch4-CZ control chip. That chip is interesting because instead of having separate chips on the primary (high-voltage) and secondary (low-voltage) sides of the transformer, they use a single chip that contains circuits for both sides. Internally, the two sides are isolated and communicate via an inductive coupling link. The chip looks very weird because it has a super-wide drive pin.

> An employee testified to having seen company security guards open the mailbox.

If this is true, then apparently not.
No it doesn't put lives at risk. Everyone knows it's not actually full self driving. One of the following must be true:

1) Tesla FSD actually is L5 full self driving

2) Tesla FSD is just driver assist and everyone knows it

3) People are dying in Tesla crashes at a massive rate

I doubt that it's 1 and I know it's not 3 because this would have been noticed immediately by the agencies that track this sort of thing and would be a huge news story. So it has to be 2. Nobody is actually stupid enough to be fooled by the name.
I made about $50k/y at a two different midwestern companies. I was getting paid about 2x the per capita income. I was able to buy a house with a double lot with a nice fenced lawn for $60k (no typo there, yes, $60k).

I was reasonably paid for the area. Sure, I could have been making more if I was to go to a different company (challenging in '09). I'm making more now for a different employer in the midwest.

The thing is that there are companies that don't make $100k/y revenue for the work that the devs do. There are also devs who are willing to work for $50k/y in the rural midwest (which is better than other jobs in the area pay).

To assume that those devs should be paid the same as one in SF would have ultimately meant a loss of jobs in the area as the business wouldn't be able to afford to do that.

There are plenty of places that are not the mid west that are paying more.
It's not an automated account, just me looking for freelance work for myself and sometimes helping my team find bigger gigs. Is representing a team against the rules?
There are some plants like mint that can spread like crazy if you don't maintain it. I had mint spread from my neighbors fence one spring and it just started blanketing my backyard. I had no choice but to use herbicides. Also with age I find it hard to bend down to pull weeds. I mostly resort to string trimmers, some root puller tools and once in the spring some roundup to get me a head start for the year. Longterm I need to add more mulch but I need to fix the yard drainage first since I can't raise the elevation much.
For 1, no example really comes to mind, but i guess there could be cases where a service went from publishing an event with all of its related data, then split into a service where that becomes more expensive to do (like that data is no longer in memory its behind the api of the old service). In some cases you can have very simple services that consume a message, make a few calls to services or databases to hydrate it with more information, then produce that message to another topic that the original consumers could switch to. More commonly though if the data model is making a drastic change where the database is being split and owned by two new services, you will have to get consumers in on the change to make sure everyone knows the semantics of the new changes.

For 2, it completely depends on the source of the trigger. The first event in a chain probably only has enough information to know that it should produce an event, usually as quickly possible, so no additional db or api fetches. So you might get something in the driver status topic that contains {driver_uuid, new_status, old_status}, then based on what downstream consumers may want to do in response to that event, you may need more info, so you may get more entity information in derived topics. Even pure-entity-based messages would have needed a trigger, so in our topics that tail databases, you may have the full row as a message along with the action that occurred like {op: insert, msg: {entity data… }}.
In fairness, any cable of this style I've bought has failed the same way. I have a bunch of generic lightning cables that are white, with the little nub of rubber strain relief like the genuine cables, and they fail the same way too. They look nice, and even on the ones where the insulation is torn, I've only had to throw one away for not working at all (Apple or generic) of the probably dozen I own.

But I've also recently started buying braided cables to replace the Apple/apple-like varieties. The fabric braided ones from Monoprice look nice and seem a bit more durable - likely because the sleeving is also thicker and you can't bend them at sharp angles without feeling like you're doing something obviously wrong.
In my experience, there is a lot of little urban legends and superstitions that young people still take part in / talk about, but it's unclear how many do it for fun and how many partially believe it. Anecdotally, I've met plenty of young people (20s) who believe the whole bloodtype/personality thing.
Climate change is always a risk but unlikely existential or at least to the extent it is we know how to handle it pretty well. So well that the number of climate related deaths have plummeted quite dramatically the last 100 years. We are constantly working on impacting nature in ways that make it safer for us whether we are talking building houses, using energy to keep warm or creating higher yield crop.

AI isn't necessarily that different in that its probably not actually as dangerous in reality as in theory.
Let me add that you can be both a genius, super smart and creative person - and also be a sociopath/psychopath.

Also add Jobs and many successful surgeons (or so I am told) to the list.
We need a form that asks a bunch of metadata and whether you are satisfied with Apple brand cables. Share that widely (somehow?) and look for correlations.

The biggest concern is the self selection bias… if you’re perfectly happy with the cables would you care enough to respond to such a survey?
I mean, you could almost make the same argument for Canada & the US.

It's mostly due to political gridlock here, but look at all the crumbling bridges and dams -- the transit that never got built, and the feeling that somehow we are wealthy yet we never have any money for important issues.

Japan's GDP per capita still keeps growing. And the average Japanese still has an excellent quality of life.

Japan also has so many pointless infrastructure projects; things like laying concrete into river beds to control their flows, or retention systems to stop mudslides that only started because they clear-cut forests and replaced them with sugi as a make-work project... The workers are there, if they got rid of the make-work projects.
as if Japan is gold standard to compare lol. See how disfunction Japan is at this Olympics first and think more.
The founder sued him for it. The result of the lawsuit leaves him as a co-founder legally

What elephant in the room?

They are self-admitted criminals. They admit to be in a destructive industry to line their own pockets. The only reason they are selective in their targets is because critical targets will increase the chances of them being caught.
