I like the spirit of this blog post, and I believe strongly in trying to get devs to stake in to product ownership (understanding product use, asks, &c) is a huge advantage, something small companies tend to have exceedingly better competencies at.

Shadowing sessions are great. I've never seen workshops nor internal podcasts, but I have my doubt that this will provide authentic connection, or generate real stake in. But we should try things, so good luck.

Overall though I don't feel like most companies are willing to change themselves. Trying to reshape developers seems besides the point. It's your organization that needs to change. Merely throwing more obligations & responsibility on your in the trench forces is not where real wins come from. What incentivizes engineers to step away from the code, from smashing tickets, & to wade into your product organization & it's myriad power structures & less obvious mechanisms? What new power or capabilities will the engineer receive? What is going to make them feel more empowered or better? I love the general idea here, but frankly, it's with many good reasons that most engineers would rather be heads down, not dealing with customers having issues (many of which will invariably be beyond their power to adddress) and corporate power structures (which will keep them from addressing what they might).
I don't know, I'm too busy winning at life to care.
This is similar to the situation in Canada.

We have a media cartel that are also our telecoms, and they collaborate on prices and lobby heavily for protectionist legislation.

On top of that, they hold digital distribution rights for numerous properties and, historically, have done absurd things like only offer them on a service that is _tied to paying for cable_.

It won't change. The head of the regulatory body that oversees them is an ex-lobbyist for one of the larger telecoms.
I am looking for python developers with 5 years of experience able to develop APIs using python, flask, and be able to work in a GCP environment. If you're a python expert then please contact me gabe@zenithsgp.com.
I have never seen that claim before.

My understanding is that lack of wild and controlled burns can be attributed to two factors:

1) Emotion driven environmentalism trumping environmental scientists

2) Political deferral due to the risk of blowback from out of control burns.
Do you have more details on Google's internal policy?
Obviously phones/game consoles would be game changing with this law, but i wonder what else would get hit...

Could this impact the infotainment on cars? Google Home devices? Smart TVs?

This could have major affects on user's ability to control their devices.
To be honest I liked the experience of actually doing it. If the tweet had just said it or shown a picture I never would have done it.
That doesn't sound like it should be possible. It's fairly trivial to put an application in a sandbox where it can't make certain system calls even if it wants to. If iOS doesn't or worse can't do that, that's a design flaw in the OS. Making them pinky swear to get listed in the official app store isn't real security. What the heck way other than through the OS can you ask for access to hardware? That's the entire point of an OS. Ability to prevent hardware access shouldn't depend on the distribution channel.
Correcting for inflation since 1996 book publication, a 1996 "million"is about $1,700,000 now. The word million just sounds catchy.

About 1 in 12 Americans is a millionaire in assets. But these assests may include real estate and retirement savings which are not easily spendable.

I would love a source for this, because "rugged individualism" is the reason why US has the worst healthcare and homelessness of developed nations.
> which will give it a bad reputation as a store and that will drive people away.

Which will give it a bad reputation among the HN crowd and drive a tiny fraction of global user population away. The rest will happily grant the permissions requested if it gives them access to the latest Angry Birds game, or to Facebook app itself for example...

I mean, how many millions of users does Facebook still have that either have no idea about the impact of sharing their life with it, or don't care, because their social network interaction is essentially locked into the platform?

How many people have been successful at getting their friends & family to switch from FB Messenger or WhatsApp to something like Signal? Some, sure...
Dallas PD is missing data about its investigations

I suspect they're afraid to, because someone will say "see, they said I could do this!" when what they actually said was that you are likely to get away with it for a short time.

Instead, they try to present absolute certainty that you have to do this in order to try to persuade those who aren't really listening and don't believe you. But those who aren't really listening and don't believe you are that way partly because they detect that you're talking way past your evidence.

("You" meaning politicians, not the parent, nor the reader.)

Why bother locking your doors if a criminal can just carry a crowbar and pry it open anyway? Gray areas exist.

If you decide to drive drunk and hit me while i am driving while i'm wearing a seatbelt you could kill me. If you decide not to wear a mask in public and are an asympomatic carrier of COVID and i am immunocompromised you could kill me. This has nothing to do with personal choice or liberty, it is a legitimate public health and safety concern. Your selfish tunnel vision is truly disgusting.
The biggest hurdle is rent followed by health care.

Most people could live like a monk and not save anything substantial.

If everyone did suddenly adopt those saving habits, it would crash consumer spending and launch the economy into a death spiral, and those exact "frugal poor" people would be the first victims.

The infamous "avocado toast" debate has absolutely no merit as a criticism.

I'm living in Japan and I find the US discussions ridiculous. Ifasks
There’s a lot of people agreeing and disagree with your perspective here. Individual opinions on what Rand Paul said are frankly irrelevant to the underlying discussion here. There are many intelligent people on both sides of this debate and for either side to preemptively conclude that they are right and the other side needs to be silenced (by private for-profit companies) is incredibly naive thinking.

If an issue is hotly debated among the public you have to allow open debate on it. I don’t care how right you believe you are or how important you believe it is for people to agree with you, this type of thinking paves a road to hell.

If you give private companies the ability to silence others I promise you at some point they’ll eventually silence you and that’s really all that matters to this discussion. Who cares about Rand Paul’s opinion, what I care about is why some people feel a private company who runs an essential 21st communications platform should have the power to abuse that power and silence others who disagree with them.
Exactly. Germans don’t need a visa to work in Switzerland.
Thank you so much for posting this link! I had no idea there was an avenue for product features.
It doesn't matter. It's about air quotes dangerous information that differs from the orthodoxy. It's a tale as old as time itself. It's about control. It's about trying to dictate to you what you can think. We really expect that these internet mega corporations are going to be better than that? They make that money from programming you with advertisements you really think they're not going to try to continue that practice of programming you and every other way they can? And why be surprised that it occurs at all the only reason I think is that people have experienced a respite from this activity occurring overtly because it has been perfectly implemented covertly using television for the last for 60 years, because there was no "random citizen with megaphone broadcasting channel" the censorship and thought control was covert: panels of editors and programmers and executives. But now you all of you have a megaphone that reaches out and touches the entire world if you wanted to. So of course your expression must be controlled by the same people I've been doing it for 70 years. It's just now, to get the legions of airports woke on board, they cynically deploy the mere color of ideological purity through fake leftism, as instruments to provide fake pretexts for the thoughts they seek to permit or disallow--the couch their age old bag in the garb of justice and politics--why? Because they actually give a shit about those things? No of course not. They do it because they need to do this in the open now so they need a fake pretext to pretend that it's all okay and they're doing it for some reason it's making the world better somehow. they do it because they need cover for the thing they've always been trying to do, groups with power that is, they're trying to hold on to it by one of the oldest ways known: they're trying to control you in the bud at your thought your beliefs your emotions. but they're just more effective and larger scale than anyone who's done this before because they span the entire globe and they make their money out of this very control. So who's really surprised if when they wield this massive power it also gets a bit corrupt? If they end up using it not just for advertising but for other things? I mean why wouldn't they who surprised at a bit of overreach when you hold something so powerful when when you have so much to lose and maybe even more to gain?

Orthodoxy and heresy is a tool of control as old as time itself. Why did you think you wouldn't see the same thing on the internet? Well, I can relate: I used to think the internet was awesome based on it's optimistic potential. It is that--but perhaps it's also terrifying--depending on how you position yourself.
This is a standard "atomic clock", that its not actually uses radioactive decay to accurately measure the passage of time, but receives GPS signals. The innovation in the post is using real "miniature atomic clock" that actually uses caesium 133.

I bought a washable cloth mask. It claimed to be fancy, with "three layers!". Unfortunately, those three layers are polyester, and are impenetrable to air, so all of my breath in and out is through the gaps in the nose area/bottom. I went back to cheap medical masks. At least I know air is passing through it, so there must be some filtering.
You would end living in the Sahara, but almost nobody lives there for some reason. The amount of population that the place can sustain and feed diminish with each fire.
When Jim Cramer coined it (originally as FANG) and began pumping it on his show regularly, it was just a batch of large, sector dominant tech stocks he thought should be bought at that time (with the letter ordering being convenient for memory). That's all it was. There is no greater definition, and it's bizarre to see people argue over that aspect routinely on HN, given it was nothing more than a stock pumping promotion by a slightly vacuous tv bobblehead.
Did you read the article or watch the offending video? Because he did cite research. Now you start requiring YouTube to decide what research is ok and which isn’t.

I believe there's barely no benefit to setting up a TOTP 2FA for those accounts if you're going to store the backup codes/token seed along with the password in the same vault.

> If my password vault is compromised it's game over anyway.

There are ways you could make a vault compromise not mean a complete/irreversible takeover, but that would either give up breakglass access as you say or add complexity and reduce availability.

> The point of using 2FA for me is to protect me against my password being compromised since it's a long_lived access key.

In which situations on your setup would a unique password compromise not imply there's also been a TOTP token/seed compromise?

Is there any "real free speech" that you think YouTube should be allowed to block?

People advocating for shooting the president?

People describing how to make a nuclear bomb?

People advocating for killing cops?

People sharing people's social security numbers?

People explaining the best suicide methods?

People trying to organize terrorist attacks?

People threatening violence on other people?

Anything?
I used to think so too, y watch a show that's gonna get cancelled.

Then I realized there do exist some good shows that only had very few seasons: pushing daisies, doll hiuse, sense 8. The problem is many Netflix shows are bad...
Its funny that you feel you have to specify that those are real examples, since those (especially the person coding on the bus) are just such obviously common things that nobody in the bay would even think those might be made up examples.
> A better approach might be to leave it up but flag it and link to a page that explains what parts of the claim are true and which are misconstrued or embellished.

No. That leads to potential for editorializing and taking us right back to square one. Treat people like sensible, intelligent adults.
If every single utility and app start charging $3 or $5 per month then it becomes a problem. Software as a service is a good concept for something that is truly changing all the time, but I find it absurd that a Photoshop subscription or a huge IDE cost as much as these utilities thst used to be shareware in the past.

The old business model works but you have to keep innovating and diversify your product line. Microsoft was the best example with things like Encarta, Age of Empires and other tools like Project.

This new trend of doing these apps once, with far easier programming languages in a connected environment with plenty of docs, crash report data and things like stack overflow really makes it look that we are talking about cheap people trying to make a quick profit not unlike those free to play games.
Agreed, this setup is super nice for personal work! Adding a raspberry pi as a jump box with wake on lan saves some money on electricity too. I've been using that with a big desktop computer instead of a server and it pretty much works for remote development while out of the house.
Prevailing wisdom in what circles?
Agreed. Those are two more circumstances that it doesn't work well for.

It does seem to do a decent job of encouraging and rewarding entrepreneurism.
Ah, I see, you're using "misinformation" to mean "came to a different conclusion than I did".
Reminds me of this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Leonard_Orr
Many VPN providers advertise themselves specifically as being able to get around Netflix restrictions, or if not directly they pay YouTubers or websites to mention it in an ad.

VPNs are definitely making heavy use of residential IPs now, they often have routing rules in place that use non res IPs for most traffic, but traffic to Netflix, Prime, iPlayer etc. get routed via a res IP.

Also have no idea why they're cracking down on it so hard, thought it'd help them retain customers if anything.

Not that I want to give them any ideas, but surely the best solution would be to just lock the account down to the region the billing account is from? Although I think you can sometimes get a payment through with a fake address, it'd at lest mean people can't jump between countries at will.
Strong "do not want" for lastpass. Run far, far away.

I switched to KeePassXC a while ago due to the increasing hostility over local stores. Looks like I was right on the money.

KeePass has served me pretty well - it's not as polished, but it works absolutely everywhere due to the numerous client apps on many OSes, and it syncs normally. Toss on something like Dropsync for mobile, and it's pretty streamlined: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ttxapps.dr...
So what? It impugnes his motives 100% and it impugnes your motives as well to say "so what" to the clear implication made, that he wants no masking at all and would like the most negative outcome, increasing mass death.

Saying "oh but he's a physician so him encouraging mass death is an interesting opinion I want to hear" sounds... a bit nutty dont you think?

And Novavax was just found to be 90% effective across a range of variants. Too bad they didn't have a big partner to speed their trials along.
Arguably an approach that assumes there can be a hostile store operator would create a more secure and private product, as Apple would rely less on private entitlements and APIs in plists, and more on either technical measures to control access to these APIs, or actual security across them.

There's antitrust potential around private APIs and entitlements, like the background video access given to zoom before it was available to other developers. Arguably the "green dot" status bar warning approach helps alert users to abuse of this API, and a permission prompt before first use would let users choose.

Sandboxing binaries more than at present would also improve the general security posture of the device - I'd want my app sandbox to be secure even if a rogue app gets onto the device, and such a security posture would arguably better secure iOS for all users.

I could see a need to namespace keychain and team IDs and similar with a secure identifier (like the public key of an alternative app store's signing CA key), to protect keychain and other information from spoofed apps, but again this kind of change would arguably better harden iOS for everyone. The less that platform security relies on trusting someone else to validate and sign a plist, the safer the more secure the platform will be for users even of the default store.
That doesn't scale, though. Who's going to do the research as to what parts of the claim are true? Does YouTube have people with the medical research knowledge to do this? Do they have people with the knowledge who don't already have firmly entrenched positions on this question?
The inflection point for Netflix's utility was when they removed the star ratings. It went from being an industry leader in catalog surfing to being one of the worst, seemingly overnight. They'd later make it difficult to narrow by genre, and similar catalog-hiding changes.

It was a shame. I found that I enjoyed interesting combinations like "Campy Science Fiction with a rating between 2 and 4". Now Netflix seems transfixed on shoving shitty daytime dating shows down my throat.
It wasn't hard to find sources that disagree:

> The use of masks, which are medical devices, requires correct use, based on medical principles unfortunately not known by the whole population. This cultural deficiency, linked to the breathing difficulties caused by the use of this filter, has led to incorrect management of these important medical devices, facilitating the commission of errors that can make the masks ineffective or *even dangerous because they can become a vehicle for the spread of the disease itself*.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S092575352...

That article cites a WHO statement:

> Using a mask incorrectly however, may actually increase the risk of transmission, rather than reduce it.

https://www.who.int/csr/resources/publications/Adviceusemask...

Edit: what is wrong with people here, downvoting quotes from scientific articles and WHO statements, because they don't like what they say?
This is just an example of antiquated media companies trying to change the definition of "piracy" to include paying customers bypassing geo-restrictions.
Salesforce has done well for me up until the last two weeks. Oracle isn't dead yet. Adobe, Nvidia and Qualcomm are also all doing well at a 30 foot view. None of those have made as much money for me as Cleveland-cliffs, though.
The best thing about discussing politics and public health is how open minded everyone is! I predict this is gonna be a fruitful conversation for everyone involved.
Yes and I agree with Rand Paul for that very reason. He's not just foaming at the mouth like most politicians; he's an actual professional with decades of experience and backs his points up with real data.
All you have to do is look at a deaths/infections curve before and after mitigations.
You had me up until the word "multiple". A more appropriate word would be percentage. I'm willing to cede ground that masks may reduce infections 5-20%. If it were more, there would be correlates in the real world. As it is, it's a statistical shit show to even show that masks have any effect at all, much less how much.
and it suddenly is if it's on PCs?
> complete eradication of COVID which by all expert account is impossible.

Several countries succeeded in elimination of community transmission, some more than once. Sadly, global coordination is just never going to allow for that at scale.
Good. Everyone has right to their crazy opinion, but everyone people and organizations don't have to help to spread them.
Just because Eric Raymond (who is more famous for his mouth than for his technical achievements) is a libertarian, and billionaires are libertarian, doesn't mean techies are in general.
all else equal they pay more than the other 4 so yeah i get it

I am running to wrest total, complete and permanent control of the world from the ever expanding Oblivion Arms of the Vampire Squid I call, as do many others, THE CONSORTIUM! They have names, addresses, family and people they call friends. They are not apparitions and are immortal demonic creations!
