I hope Apple and institutions that rely on it make it easy to recover from a lost device.

I totally get the convenience angle, being an Apple ecosystem dweller myself. However, with more and more of identities, payments moving to a single device the recovery workflow should be hassle free.

With physical documents, my IDs are spread out so if I lose my drivers' license I can pull out my passport to get a new one. How will it look like in Apple world? I haven't read the recovery workflow documented anywhere.

Imagine being on a business trip say ~5 years down the line and losing your phone. Your hotel key is gone, passport is gone, no money, no one to call, no app, no internet. Now what?
Not really. Immigration has become an issue lately because a human (or a bare-human) is worth much less.

1.000 years ago a bare illiterate human had some considerable value. He could work in the field or he could fight. More humans, more food and production. More humans, more manpower to fight your enemies.

Now a bare semi-educated human is a liability. Which is why most countries are refusing their entrance. Times have changed. In a near future where wars will be fought with robots and drones, you need less manpower (and their wives/kids); and thus you need much less of your general population; and much more of a few specialized people to achieve your goals.

We are getting there, whether we are self-aware of it or not.
What are specific concerns you have? I've been using the Stream Deck software for a couple of years now and other than a few freezes that required me to relaunch the application. I haven't had any issues.
Is the money going to French bookstores, though?
Well market dynamics over the long term should take care of companies that short sighted. They will be outcompeted by others that are better at building organizational capacity.
> Some employers around the US are responding to perceived worker shortages in their industries by pursuing cheap sources of labor, such as people currently or formerly in prison.

The US is using slave labor and at the same time sanctioning China for...using slave labor.
This is the best technique imo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmX2VzsB25s , you got to be persistent though.
He was deemed a racist for all of his racist behavior. The most positive thing people had to say about his presidency was his efforts to confront China on trade, though the first phase of that trade deal appears to be a failure. I don't know how much blame to assign him personally though, we're not seeing many examples of success to compare it to.
The Bridgerton example is silly and not comparable. His character is barely in the other books, so of course he's not in the other seasons. It's like asking why Professor Quirrell isn't in the second Harry Potter film.
>All this speculation and capital going a little crazy searching for yield are side effects of an overabundance of capital.

The stock market is where savers have been forced to. Pensions included. ZIRP/negative real rates have consequences. There "isn't too much capital". It's being misallocated due to misguided policy. It will get worse.

You need to start thinking in second and third order effects.
What surprises me most about this case is that there were actual consequences.

Usually this kind of shit ends with, at most, some low-level employees getting thrown under the bus, a manager or two "stepping down" with a generous severance package, and a quiet hush-money settlement to the victims.

Here, multiple directors and senior managers were fired outright, slapped with criminal charges, and IIRC at least a couple of them are doing prison time as we speak.
Seems like the standard definition of concurrent to me. Concurrency is a programming model, not an execution model. It means writing multiple pieces of code in a simple linear model that can have their execution interleaved with execution of other code. The primary contrast is managing a complex state machine by hand. coughNodecough

Given that concurrency is often implemented with a state machine, the difference is not what happens at run time. The difference is the programming model used.

Parallel execution is a fully separate matter.
You're right that animals are not only treated inhumanely in CAFOs, I have seen
that kind of thing too. Even simple things, like killing a chicken before
cutting its throat seem to never cross some peoples' minds. It's a different
problem that has to do with education and generally standards of living and I
think in the end it all loops back to the main reason that some people lack
basic education, not to mention many other material needs: capitalism, again
(and now I sound like a broken record). But again that's not the case
everywhere. It is possible to raise animals without causing unnecessary
suffering and it does happen, around the world.

I think we agree on the need, or the want even, to minimise suffering. Maybe we
disagree on what that entails? I think that small-scale farming can achieve
this, which of course means that much of the world will need to eat much less
meat and even (gulp!) dairy products than currently.

I don't agree that we're not part of the natural order, but that's a bigger
conversation I think.

Yeah, thanks for the level-headed discussion also.
Ask HN : LinkedIn or Twitter for Networking/Career Growth?
Hello HN,

Which of these two platforms do you suggest for a Tech Employee to gain career opportunites and Network?

Should one optimise for Linkedin Profile or use Twitter?

How did you go about it?
This is my opinion: but my belief is that the crackdown on education is not about the health and well-being of children, it’s 2 different reasons.

1) it’s crazy expensive to have kids in china now. This is putting off people from having kids. Removing the one child policy hasn’t helped the birth rate and with a growing aging population, china needs more people to have kids. Removing things that cause having kids to be expensive will (their hope) make couples want to have kids.

2) the last couple of generations have worked their butt off to put their kids in higher education for the dream of a better life and a white collar job. Recently they tried to merge schools which would make some degrees useless and force graduates into blue collar jobs. After the recent protests the merging of schools got scrapped. I believe this move is a stepping stone to try and prevent some people from progressing to degrees and force more people into blue collar jobs and keep their manufacturing industry alive.
Summary: Jim Browning, a well known anti-scammer youtuber was phished and was led into deleting his channel.

He describes how the scam went down, how he was fooled, and some dialog with the scammer in the aftermath.
I would like to see the details of what primitives the author considers important (the "columns" of the perimeter diagram).
Yeah, fun speculation....we will see what happens.
To be clear, that guy was deemed racist for promoting stereotypes from a position of power. There are ways of fighting against CCP / Chinese govt. aggression without resorting to racism
I’m embarrassed the US doesn’t have this. You should see the absolute disaster that is digital records at the Dept. of Veteran Affairs. It’s better than it used to be and it’s still terrible.
Before WW2 there was a far lower proportion of people who could drive cars. WW2 essentially taught almost every soldier to drive. After WW2 was over there were huge numbers of drivers and a shortage of jobs and used cars were cheap. This led to large numbers of people offering rides for hire.
This was a huge shake-up to the taxi business and laws against these ad-hoc taxis were soon enacted. Later they also wanted to create a scarcity of taxis so prices could be kept high and the medallion business emerged. The high prices meant you could make so much money that medallion prices went through the roof. During WW2, miniature radio tubes were developed so a 2 way radio was practical for cars.
This led to the radio dispatch empires that also collected medallions. In Toronto new medallions were issued to drivers after 10-20 years of full time driving. Before they had their own medallion you rented a medallion for each of the two shifts the taxi business operated on. Once you got your own you could join a radio dispatch group and pay a radio fee.
These groups would register a catchy number and when any one wanted a cab they called that number - gave the address and radio dispatched a taxi.
Nice fat little empires - full of abuse. Most cities in USA/Canada were happy to see Uber come along as the taxi companies were charging $50-100 for a ride to the airport. This was a cash cow as most trips were under 30 minutes (away from rush hour) even the airports want part of the fee.
Taxi companies tried everything to kill Uber/Lyft. Now the greed of Uber/Lyft are killing themselves.
Uber/Lyft could be replaced by a dispatching website over the air, with no fee to Uber/Lyft at all. The 'free-range-drivers' would have to make an organization and build a site, which could be replicated all over. The site cost would be under 5% of the ride fee (IMHO). An added cost is possibly driver insurance against customer harm and the usual car insurance. Insurance companies could implement insurance per mile (with access to the speedo cluster)
Many companies do pay for people to stay, but its debatable if its worth it.

The last company I worked for gave me significant golden handcuffs. Probably 30-40% more than I could get elsewhere. They had a "cost of replacement player" policy, where they count the cost of hiring, sourcing, training over the years, etc, and come up with a number thats almost always way above market rate for people who have been around a bit.

Attrition was lower than industry average...but not by much. The reality is that in big tech, salaries are high enough that people stop caring. People left for a variety of reasons, the most common one being "I want to see how it is elsewhere" (especially from college hires who have been at the company several years). Others leave because they want to work at a startup. Some leave to join their friends. Some because they move to follow a significant other who got a job elsewhere (many prefer offices over WFH, so offering that only helps so much).

In the end, again, retention is higher, but when you crunch the numbers, its very debatable if it's worth it for the company. Worse, sometimes companies end up "competing" over it, so even if you pay a lot, the next one offers more because they know your salary bracket, then you raise yours until one gives. That sounds great for the employee but there are budgets and limits at some point.

And then there's the topic of counter offers. The uncomfortable truth is that there's very significant demographic differences when it comes to folks who use the "I got an offer elsewhere, pay me more and Ill stay". If you give counter offers when that happens (as opposed to across the board bracket increase), you quickly end up with statistically significant discrepancies, and that's not ok.
As OSS dev this very often not true for instance: there is a lot of OSS having a positive effect on a huge amount of people and yet the authors scraping by. Paying for OSS should be a tax write off aka charity. Would stimulate more people to just open source it all.
Gandhi wouldn't be comfortable with that dualistic reference.

It's more like CRISPR for our industry. Or the invention of the seat belt. Safe and modern, when you typically had to choose just one. You wouldn't go calling those seat belt people crazy, would you?

It also comes at a time where the scripting, dynamic types, and bad package managers are coming under increased scrutiny. The culmination of so many headwinds meets a language that addresses all of the problems.

Rust should eat Python, Ruby, and Javascript too. It's not just coming for C++'s lunch.
I don't think they are, unless you are talking about the few implementations of resumable exceptions. The most obvious counter-example I can think of is C++, where the stack from where the exception was thrown is unwound to the handler, i.e. it's destroyed (doubly so if the exception handler puts anything on the stack). That's also why you can't get a stacktrace from an exception in C++ unless you specifically arranged for the thrower to include that information in the exception object.
OP was explicitly referring to South Korea too. If you are not aware of their extremely brutal past, here are few links to get you started (these articles just skim the surface, much deeper study is needed if you really want to get into the details).

Some things are better in analog form. Voting, IDs, Passports, etc.
When I see a regression, I look at what was recently updated (in the past hours, days), and it's usually one of those packages. Because frequent updates tend to be independent, it's usually not difficult to revert that change (eg. if I update react and lodash at the same time, chances are really good that I can revert one of those changes independently without any issues)
My school (UC San Diego) already has a mobile app with our student IDs on it. You can add it to your mobile wallet on both iOS/Android I believe (on iOS it took some fiddling with PassBook before it showed up for me). It's pretty convenient but I'm never really in a situation with my phone/watch and not my wallet.
Well to be fair it seems the current administration in the U.S. will not permit an unregulated free market either, in any major industry.

This caught my interest because I've been dabbling with 3D graphics for the web lately. Some feedback: If your product is a no-code editor, why not make that the focus of your website? Squarespace for example doesn't take you to a generic website and asks you to sign up from there, they take you to their editor to start building your own site immediately. You could add examples somewhere else on the site.

Generally an interesting field to work in, lots of uncharted territory in terms of UI best practices and user expectations. Good luck!
Shades of 3/5ths Compromise maybe? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-fifths_Compromise
Well, it does induce a timed delay between upstream release of a compromised package and when it enters the own codebase. As long as the exploit is found and published before someone manually uploads it to the local store, you're safe.

But yes, a better option would be to run your own acceptance tests on each new upstream release, and that includes profiling disk/network/cpu usage across different releases.
Related to this space is algebraic effects [https://gist.github.com/yelouafi/57825fdd223e5337ba0cd2b6ed7...], which is the construct I'm most excited about these days. Very few languages I know offer direct support for them, but they inspire the pattern of Hooks in React functional components.
Web app or official API, so anyone could develop an app.
If I was on this jury I would happily award $10 billion to send a message to every other psychopathic CEO.
I know in Chrome on Windows, I am asked for my Windows login password if I want to view any saved passwords. Really hope that's not just a "UI" feature, and those passwords really are encrypted.
But you're trading that for manufacturing jobs.
Yes, it takes about 6m in a medium to big organizations to figure out what to do and with whom you have to speek to get stuff done. And for 2 years everything is rosy. Then you speak with you colleagues that changed jobs and find out that their income is 30% to 40% higher. That will, of course, put a downer on your day/week/quarter/year. You have 2 options, speak with your current company about compensation or leave. I tried the first option (admittently a bit late, but I did mention the problem in our review talks and other talks) after I found out that my income was 40% lower than colleagues that left 1 year before (was 3 years and a half at this company and had top marks every year, big company, a lot of cash to throw around). I was offered a measly 5% after being dragged in 4 meetings about how great I am. Left and almost doubled my income in 2 years. This is all anecdotal, but I hear it from everyone around me, you HAVE TO SWITCH jobs every 2 years, you can stretch to 3, maybe. Of course, during the last years you won't deliver as much, you have to prepare for intervews and such. This was of no benefit for the previous company. Over my 4 years there I've seen how we were bleeding knowledge that we never got back. The company didn't do so well, the thing I worked on just died after everyone left 6m after me. It's a shame, it could've been a nice thing compared with what I see offered by the competition.
Mobile OS security works by clamping down hard on what the local user can do, by severely restricting your freedom on what you can do with your device, to the point where you can't even access most of the device's file system. It works under the assumption and reality that 99% of users out there don't have root access on their phone. At the other side of the spectrum we have PC where we have full freedom to do what we want with just a "sudo" or "run as admin" away but that comes with a price.
Can anyone explain in a little more detail what's going on in the definition of the Scheme version of sum-of-squares? The previous example where the continuation of 2 + 1 + N is captured makes sense to me, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the resulting continuation when a lambda is involved.

To make it a little cleaner, I've replaced the "receiver" definition with a function reference instead. What's the continuation here?

(define sum-of-squares
(lambda (bound)
(call/cc the-receiver)))
What baffles me is how many high-level people were sufficiently involved to face criminal charges. A manager, two senior managers, a director, and a senior director? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBay_stalking_scandal#Charges_...) I expect high-level execs to be amoral bastards, but I would not have expected quite so many to be this suicidally stupid all at the same time.
Looking back at the candidates we’ve had since Bush vs Clinton, the only one who I think saw this coming and would have mobilized against it was Ross Perot. Everyone else saw $$ in their eyes as the shiny potential in China froze them in place. Ross had money and didn’t care about upsetting industrialists. Most other politicians will give in to industrial and commercial interests even when they carry long term detriment to the economy and its people.
Yup can see you admit it.
Yeah as a non-Android user I was confused by this page. You have to add your card to Google Pay to be able to use it for dorm entry? That's very Google of them, like needing to enable "Web & App Activity" tracking to be able to get home/work directions in Maps.

But then I wasn't sure if they just branded "any NFC pass you can put in your phone" as "Google Pay" which would be stupid but believable. Thanks for confirming.
> How does the developed world pull out of this type of tailspin?

1. Find a young woman

2. Make her happy, and confident in you

3. ?

4. Pull your family for the next 30-40 years

With all respects, I always seen a family as a man's responsibility, and a failure at creating/maintaining one to coming from man's deficiencies first.

In virtually every human culture in the world, even matriarchal societies, it is by default that a man needs to put more effort than a woman to score a marriage. It is very deeply ingrained into human culture.

A man can always always find another woman if one does not want a family with him up until mid-thirties. A lot of time.

And yes, I really want to have a family, and I really want to work hard to have one.

It really sucks for bachelors. Unmarried people in most of Asia effectively lost 2 years of their reproductive life, and probably will lose at least 1 more year.

It's completely incorrect to think that China had any much of normal life after quarantine succeeded. Last 12 months was a life in constant paranoia, extreme social unease, and daily life disruptions from periodic Covid breakthroughs.

"especially Apples" - what are you basing that on?

I personally trust Apple more to actually want to protects users' information rather than try find legal loopholes in protection mechanisms to aid their business model.
You may underestimate how much government funding has widened and deepened the production side of the exploit world. Once TLAs outsourced and started buying exploits on the open market, the whole thing professionalized and became much more liquid. That kind of intellectual capital formation really changes things.

Mind you, the genie is out of the bottle. A half-hearted moratorium is unlikely to undo what Pointexter wrought.
Nevertheless those without iPhones will be at disadvantage AFAIK.
As they lose jobs and have even less purchasing power… or trade in their machinist job for work at the dollar store… yah. I bet they like that they can buy a $5 T-shirt instead of paying $30, swap their red-wings for off-brand shoes to trudge the dollar store as a security guard. But, it is a lovely bargain for the professional class. Give me cheap and take my middle class job!
How would this differ from keeping your hotel keycard, ID card, cash, and credit cards in your wallet/purse? If you lose your wallet/purse in that case, you'd also have no key, no ID, no money, etc.
Twitter works with news sites to tackle disinformation
> My twitter feed paints a different picture

To put this into perspective:

The most recent study I've seen suggests that roughly 90% of tweets are posted by 10% of its users. Only about 20% of the American population is on Twitter in the first place, and that demographic is heavily skewed towards younger generations. Assuming those numbers are correct, 90% of Twitter's content is coming from 2% of the American population, with a heavy skew towards Left positions.

To contrast, the most recent survey of "defund the police" I can find online suggests that less than 18% of the population supports defunding the police (~30% of Democrats). And the percentage of that group that interprets "defund the police" in the literal sense of slashing police budgets instead of as a cultural/political signal is probably even lower.

People really don't realize how little Twitter represents reality. Part of this is the media's fault, part of it is the culture, part of it is... I'm not sure. But it's a really huge mistake to look at Twitter and think that it's a representative slice of mainstream opinion; if that was true then Warren would be president right now.
When groups do this in furtherance of illegal activities, it's called "organized crime". And such groups need to be pursued aggressively because they are corrosive and poisonous to society at large. If they are not actively and aggressively fought, their negative effects seep into broader society and can become entrenched for generations.
FAANG only.

Technically LinkedIn is part of them since Microsoft acquired them, But if that's not what you want, aim higher than Twitter and Linkedin.
