I don't use Apple devices, but I'm wondering -- are the type of people who use iPhones significantly more likely to be engaged in exchanging child pornography than people on Android?

Perhaps there's a real problem here that needs to be addressed (though not in this way that opens the door to all kinds of surveillance)?
There are known cases of police faking AI-generated evidence[0]. There's no reason why Apple would be immune against such things. And the recent British post office scandal shows that even without manipulation false faith in technology as evidence can destroy hundreds of lives. The low chance of an error going through that whole chain of checks also increases the trust in that system even in the case of a false positive.

And all this is assuming it will never be expanded from CSAM to other content. Apple is already rolling out a censored version of iOS in China.

My guess is you're just not profitable enough for them, using data on different carriers around the world? Who knows, but it appears they're cracking down now on people like me.
While good public transport helps to cut the carbon emissions, it also isn't free and can only be established above certain population density. This creates pressure for people to live in a big cities and that causes a lot of problems.
Hehe. I don't care much about the smell, but I can tell you the leaded AV gas I use in all of my small motors, directly leads to me not having any engine knocks, easier starting, cooler at run-time, and in two decades of chainsaw operation I haven't had to clean or "rebuild" a carb. Yes, leaded gas is a whole lot "better" technically, than all of the additives we put into "gas" today. Gas really should be called something completely different these days to differentiate it from what it once was.
I agree with your overall point, but as a (nearly middle aged) American, I've almost never commuted by car or lived in a single family house as an adult.

And frankly I'm sick of being lumped in to large generalizations of America that simply don't apply to me or millions of other people living here.

The media (including social media, and the internet) largely consists of the most divisive and stereotyped parts of life. America doesn't consist solely of highways and single family communities. There isn't just one "American lifestyle."
I think that the c suite makes these decisions on a much more emotional basis than they let on.

Honestly, I think they’re sad seeing their big, expensive office spaces not being fully utilized, and want to be able around and physically see workers working.
GrapheneOS sucks for normies, first of all because it lacks GApps, which is essential for many popular apps nowadays.

One example to rule them all? Most banking apps refuse to start if you don't have GApps (i.e. SafetyNet). And no, microG does not count as solution.

Why banking apps as example? Because in the EU they are required after the PSD2 directive mandated "strong" auth requirements.
Right? Should cars have facial recognition cameras so they don't enable child trafficking?

> I mean, sure, there are people who have enough that they won't take a new job for double the money

You’re making a big leap (and judgement here) by assuming willingness to take lower pay is primarily based on already “having enough”. I know plenty of folks who find most of FANG highly distasteful and would never take a job there despite not “having enough”.

> When you say you won't even consider doubling your salary because you don't want to work for a perfectly legal company

“Perfectly legal” has little bearing on how ethically or morally a company behaves. Most folks don’t use legality as a measuring stick when evaluating the merits of say, a payday loan company, and that measuring stick shouldn’t be used here, either. Amazon is a “perfectly legal” company well known for poor working conditions and major work/life balance problems.

> You are NOT saying anything about your principles, even though you think you are.

What makes you believe this? OP made a salient point: many people do not in fact choose jobs purely based on salary. Anecdotally I know this to be true, and whether or not there are people willing to take those jobs has no bearing on a principled stance taken by someone that chooses to prioritize those principles.

I also can’t cast aspersions on someone willing to work there, but arguably it’s a good thing that at least some folks stick to their principles. Admittedly this is easier to do when you “have enough”, but it’s insulting to those who don’t to assume this is the only factor in making principled decisions.
Sadly, currently, you can't use Yarn v1 or v2 or NPM v7 with GitLab private npm registry due to outstanding issues which is quite a shame.

I love to use yarn workspaces but I have to wait for GitLab to fix the npm metadata issue first. But they have postponed it to October.
The title doesn’t contain a claim made by Apple.
Despite the headlines, this has little to do with companies taking advantage of remote workers to safe cost and more with companies using pre-pandemic comp mechanisms in a post-pandemic. Comp in the vast majority of companies is based on cost of labor in the market the employee is located at. Software developers are cheaper in Alaska than in SF and even cheaper in Costa Rica, Ukraine or India. And yes, also cheaper in Sacramento than in Palo Alto, even though the difference is much much smaller. Companies are just sticking to that model because it requires little changes on their part and there are so many unknowns about how work will look in a few years.

I'd argue that a reasonable model divides roles into ones that benefit from being local and ones that don't. Only ones that need to be local and in person should be subject to local labor costs. Unfortunately, this also might mean that salaries for remote folks will adjust across geographies and could probably roughly align by something like time zones, resulting in lower pay for your average Bay Area developer who's salary is high because they are in the Bay Area and not because they are world class (I expect comp for world class developers to go up regardless of location)

Maybe Germany had an issue but Wikipedia says:

> In the late Roman Empire in Europe the most important crops were bread wheat in Italy and barley in northern Europe and the Balkans. Near the Mediterranean Sea viticulture and olives were important. Rye and oats were only slowly becoming major crops.[1]

The article does mention Rye was important and the most common crop in the Northernmost regions and in France. Due to its winter tolerance.

See Crops[1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture_in_the_Middle_Ag...
As other people pointed out: this varies wildly by city or region. In urban areas cars are really not incredibly common. In Berlin you'll find that only 1/3 of people even own a car. Of course, even fewer go to work by car.

In Munich, you'll find 1/2 of people owning a car.
You say ‘every claim’. I’m asking which claims. Can you find one?
"With the understanding that" is not a legal framework. Anything that's key to the understanding of a contract needs to be in a contract. Implicit "I always thought that" doesn't hold water.

If I entered into an employee contract with the understanding that I would be given responsibility of a team or project, even though such an understanding was not in the contract, and then the management decides to take away that responsibility, can I say that they are in breach because it was "my understanding" that I would be given responsibility? It would be just as much of an "understanding" as saying that there was an implicit agreement about location of work when that's not in the contract either.
This is the reason the pay cuts are happening. That is the current market for a remote Google job.
FWIW I also wanted something that was not discontinued, but I heard so many recommendations for this exact device that I eventually picked a used one up on eBay, and I've been quite pleased. Currently hooked up to an old RPi running Ubuntu 20.04; scans directly to a syncthing folder. Works like a charm.
Are you sure it's that simple?

Google was previously known in the wider world for imposing longer than average work days under the guise of "you love it here at the office we have pingpong and rock climbing".

It wasn't about extracting productivity, it was about imposing culture.
There is gonna be a Vue 2.7 that backports a lot of 3 functionality (particularly the Composition API, which is available in 2.x as a plugin currently but with caveats), so I don't think there's any pressure to upgrade even from the Vue team themselves.

I believe `npm install vue` even still gives you Vue 2.
Not obviously one way. There's more staff globally but there's also more places they can work.

This seems like it will turn out in favour of employers with the world being the way it is, with a lot of people in poor places.

But I've been a remote hiring manager before, and it happens that people turn down an offer in favour of another remote firm.
Really ironic given how Google isn't innovating anymore (relative to their market cap).

I'd argue the company itself isn't very productive and is just treading water with its ridiculously profitable cash cow and moat.

That's a C-suite bug.
You’re describing an idea adjacent to “mastery” schooling; it’s the natural method people tend to use when self-taught; it’s also how some online schools, like Khan Academy, use to teach. Both of my kids earn “allowance” (extra screen time; robux; etc.) by doing Khan Academy courses. Watching how unevenly they pick up topics — there’s no rhyme-or-reason to the speed they pick up even “close” skills — makes me think there’s malice aforethought in the steady pace learning I had as a child.
I think if we want to go down the intuition route, we should compare people who don't have a partner/kids and the kind of relationship (good or bad). Are you alone and happier on the device or the real world? Do you hate your partner and are happier on the device or the real world? Stuff like that.

Devices can offer escapes and distractions from bad situations and that might actually help your mental health.

However, if real life is good, escaping isn't what you want to do and probably isn't going to help your mental health.

>teachers at grade N do not know for sure what the students already know, so they repeat a lot of the background, then jump around to cover a lot of material, much of which is never mastered.

I spent my freshman year of high school in France, and went to a French school (this is 3ème, for my fellow Frenchmen).

I recall being stunned -- in the best way possible -- when our biology teacher started his class on the first day with: "So. You've seen X last year. Now we're going to talk about related-thing-Y".

That had never happened in my US curriculum. Never.
Barring specific states or specific circumstances (e.g. negotiated terms with a union), yes that is the way it works in most of the US.

Your employer cannot retroactively change your compensation for work already performed, but they can, at any time, tell you that your compensation is changing and all future work will be paid at a new (usually lower) rate.

Depending on jurisdiction, if you were to quit in the face of a significant enough pay cut, you might still qualify for unemployment. It's very fact dependent, your former employer will likely contest it (requiring an appeal on your part), and you should talk to an employment lawyer.

It's not a defense at all. This material is prosecuted under a "strict liability." It doesn't matter how you got it, you're liable.
Good idea with unsafe traits. Maybe something like

unsafe trait IsZero: Copy {
fn is_zero(&self) -> bool;
}

#[derive(Copy, IsZero)]
struct Foo {
a: u8,
b: u16,
}

which could derive into

unsafe impl IsZero for Foo {
fn is_zero(&self) -> bool {
true
&& self.a.is_zero()
&& self.b.is_zero()
}
}
Perhaps, but anecdotally my electricity and gas bills have been much higher since I've been working at home - YMMV of course
As someone with 100+ tabs open as well, I'm not sure that all really holds up. I am actually in the process of moving towards bookmarks with my browsing habits and having FFs sidebar alwas open and just there helps a lot with the "always in front of you" aspect - especially considering that chrome only shows you the first X tabs and completely hides the rest while FF needs you to scroll to see them all. Plus folders or keywords in the bookmarks title help a lot with managing different projects or trains of thought.

Pruning is also somewhat faster and simpler because the tabs don't need to reload first (assuming you are using an extension like supsender or auto discard like i do) you just have the favicon and the whole title in your list and can prune fast with just the arrow keys and "delete".

Totally agree with your last paragraph though.
Ask HN: How do you choose a solution for embedded analytics?
I'm founder of SeekTable, this is a BI tool that currently plays best in embedded usage scenario. Existing customers seems very happy, and actually churn rate for integrated installations is zero. However, I'm stuck on how to scale from dozens to hundreds of installations -- and in this regard I need better understanding on how this kind of software is choosen.

Let's assume that you have a web-based business app, possibly SaaS and want to offer embedded reporting/analytics capabilties for your users. How you would find it? For search queries like "embedded analytics software" Google returns useless junk prepared by SEO-spammers. Will you take your attention to the Ads shown in the search results?

I'm not sure that calculus is correct as Google bought all 3 of the buildings they have in Chelsea in NYC. The most famous of which is the old Port Authority which is 3 million square feet and takes up an entire city block.[1][2][3] I'm not sure they're saving anything with empty office space. They kicked all previous non-Google tenants years ago. Further there is now a current glut of NYC office space with a vacancy rate of almost 19%.[4]

Even if I accepted the premise of climate apocalypse, which I don't, the idea of allowing technocrats control over what the public can and cannot consume seems like a more dangerous precedent. Especially when we are talking about something as essential to modern life as energy consumption.

"...If you can’t justify your existence; if you’re not pulling your weight in the social boat; if you are not producing as much as you consume or perhaps a little more, then clearly we cannot use the big organization of our society for the purpose of keeping you alive, because your life does not benefit us, and it can’t be of very much use to yourself." George Bernard Shaw, on eugenics.

Nothing can be consumed without some form of "externality" and the negativity of someone's consumption is purely subjective. Consider the first principles of the proposal and where they lead.

You'll note that the above poster invoked "monstrous pickup trucks", a clear indicator of tribal, if not political affiliation. Ultimately it amounts to nothing more than a partisan condemnation of the 'other' and their culture. The scientism rationalizing it is nothing more than a thinly veiled window dressing over intolerance.

Of course, entertaining this flavor of intolerance and rationalizations for central planning could be considered a negative outcome. The threat of tyranny, the fallibility of man and his predilection towards corruption should be well understood by now. Just as two parallel lines will never meet, these are axiomatic truths of human nature. Whereas climate doomsaying is the latest in a long history of failed predictions of apocalypse. Nobody should be surprised that the fear is used to centralize control over energy resources, but here we are...

You can grow wheat in Germany, but it's not as good for wheat as Italy.

So eg you can't really economically grow the durum wheat you need for (non-egg) pasta.

Yes, barley and rye grow just fine. Potatoes, too. But they are a New World import. Germans love potatoes. (Just like Chinese cuisine loves peanuts. Another New World import.)

And, of course, Germany has different regions. Some parts are warm enough for wine, others not so much.
Home temperature is fairly consistent over the day. Not having an office to heat or cool more than compensates for the difference.

Commuting costs completely dominate in terms of energy costs. As to getting delivery for lunch, that’s well outside of most peoples price range. The vast majority of people are going to simply buy more food on their normal shopping trips.

The running the same computer hardware at home or the office is meaningless for the environment, but you will notice the difference in your personal electric bill.

Radio’s use minimal electricity ~25w depending on volume, which is why you can find hand crank models etc.
Originally it was that low. Then it went up until it hit the point of creating problems. Now it is where it is which is lower than where it once was but much higher than it was before the peak.

The increases started I believe via an outside investor (maybe Conway? maybe Arrington? maybe not) agreeing to spread dollars uniformly across each batch's portfolio. There were also things like AWS credits. Basically, there were miscellaneous efforts to extend the runway.

As YC has matured, the efforts have become more organized.

It's worth noting that the lower investments originally were more commensurate with both the cost of living for a few months in the Bay Area and with the valuations of startups...Reddit sold to Conde Nast for about $10 million and sub-million dollar funding rounds used to be news on the front page of Hacker News.

Splitting data that does not fit on one machine using data partitioning
If Google is going to allow US employees to work from anywhere in the US, they should not be adjusting wages based on an employee's residence. Where an employee chooses to live becomes no different from what car they choose to buy. Google should pay a consistent wage scale based on a median cost of living across the US. This would probably be an unpleasant adjustment for many Googlers in high cost locales.

A bit tangential here, but our calculus/math analysis professor actually told us that the Russian and later Soviet math school drew a lot from the French, although, he might have been biased due to his apparent partiality towards Bourbaki. According to him, the university level math was taught exclusively in French during the Tsarist times, and they had some troubles coming up with Russian terminology when Soviets ordered all teaching to be done in Russian.
The problem is that browsers have a broken model of memory:

1 - Tabs are current attention.

2 - Bookmarks are long-term memory, but don't store content, only meta-data.

What browsers need is

1 - Current attention

2 - Working memory, where old tabs automatically capture content and slide off into some kind of easy to recall state, but are no longer tabs

3 - Bookmarks, but with content storage, better organization, indexing, and retrieval.

Evolution spent billions of years to arrive at this kind of scheme, we should mimic it.
You don't align the price for remote work to a location. You set it to whatever it takes to get enough qualified people to do the work you need done.
It's fair in the sense that they provide each with the means to live at roughy the same standard-of-life: a Stamford $ has more buying power because local prices are lower, so they need fewer of them.

Or, one could simply see it as answering a different question. Not "how much are you worth", but rather "how much do you need". If that sounds unfair, consider that it's close to the principle by which most parents care for their children' needs.

Or, more prosaically, the New York employee simply has more options besides Google, and they might chose to work in an office if it means a 15% difference.

Industry produces over 30GT of carbon dioxide per year [1] and we’re supposed to believe that the market for CO2 is a “sellers market”.
