Ask HN: How to Motivate an Unmotivated Developer?
In my small team I have one developer who is very skilled but openly unmotivated about our project and the technologies we use. His output is mostly very low and his attitude affects others - me as well. Due to labour laws of my country firing him would be hard and expensive. Is there anything I could do to help him get more productive and less unmotivated? I've talked with him and also my bosses but no one seems to know what to do.

Here's my approach:

"Look, there's two ways I can respond to this. I can be honest with you, and tell you the truth about how long I think it's going to take. You might not like the answer, but at least you will be in a position to make properly informed decisions about what to do, such as reducing the scope or adjusting the launch date.

Alternatively, I can lie to you and give you an answer that will make you feel satisfied when you leave the meeting, but is inevitably going to cause trouble for both of us a few weeks/months from now when the expected deadline is missed.

Tell me which kind of response you'd prefer, and we can proceed from there."

"user data is user data, no matter if it's stored by a lawbreaking, in your opinion" - we never claimed it is.
We leak only personal data of people that committed crimes or assisted the fascist regime in Belarus in committing crimes.

We won't leak anymore data of people that just reported car signals and alike (even though they knew what would be the consequences of making such reports). We're focused on more high profile crimes.

Devision in the society already exists. We influence the "game theory" equations, deter people from being violent towards others in the future.

True. The decision makers at Fortune 500s usually don’t care about the performance of the tool. I find companies that offer all in one solutions (ie, Microsoft Teams vs just using Slack) have better chances at securing a contract. My company has probably paid out millions per year for a lesser product just so it integrates with existing software and services (outlook, office products like excel, office 365, azure ad, …). Plus they only have to deal with one vendor.

> but the image has already been sent to Apple, where a reviewer marked it as CP

No, the images are only decryptable after a threshold (which appears to be about 30) is breached. If you've received 30 pieces of CSAM from WhatsApp contacts without blocking them and/or stopping WhatsApp from automatically saving to iCloud, I gotta say, it's on you at that point.

Stumbled upon this whilst scraping some data for a ML project I'm doing. I tweeted about it and someone noticed that that's exactly the 16th power of two, so some bitshifting shenanigans may be at fault.

Thought HN would find this funny :)
No, it's important to point that out lest people think collisions can only be generated with contrived examples. I haven't studied neural hashes in particular, but for CNNs it's extremely trivial to come up with adversarial examples for arbitrary images.

Anyway, as for human reviewers, depends on what the image being perturbed is. Computer repair employees have called the police on people who've had pictures of their children in the bath. My understanding is that Apple does not have the source images, only NCMEC, so Apple's employees wouldn't necessarily see that such a case is a false positive. One would hope that when it gets sent to NCMEC, their employees would compare to the source image and see that is a false positive, though.
Not knowing too much of the NeuralHash model, but why are they using MD5 hash, they are known to have many collisions.
We don't use MD5 for private/public keys for the same reason

Web Application Hacking and Security
Hiya, HN!

My team has been developing a new app for Shopify. The app offers an AI-driven conversation starter that will increase sales for shop owners by engaging visitors / lost customers.

See an example about halfway down the page, and play with the 3 different products.

I’m looking for some opinions and feedback from Shopify owners on a few things:

*How do you understand this app or the value proposition in one or two sentences?

*Is this something you think would be useful as is and / or what changes would you suggest to use it on your Shopify or other ecommerce shop?

*If you haven't signed up, what would it take to get you there?

If you have something further, I’d love to hear your thoughts or what you think is missing (plus any other feedback). Cheers!

Actually, it would save much more than 90 percent. More like 99.9%. Just take powerful magnet in your hand and start pushing through the haystack until you find it.

Which, of course, requires that you somehow know of magnets beforehand.

Which is exactly the point -- even if you are in business of finding needles in haystack it pays to have knowledge in other areas, and basically read books and other knowledge sources. You never know when it is going to pay off.
there is a woman getting threats and harassment, (a woman that has absolutely nothing to do with the book/panel mind you) because of the knowledge panel not working as intended, and that is fine in your eyes because the op can post a photo of herself?(when she clearly said she doesn't want it online) are you intentionally being a devil's advocate?
If you piss off the wrong crowd they're going to drop a small bag with white powder in your photo gallery app if you know what I mean. Along with event logs and all.

My bad, I edited the previous post, thanks for this. Assuming this runs on Intel's iGPU, they would still need the ability to run on AMD's GPU for the iMac Pro and Mac Pro, so that's at least two extra separate cases.

Very cool. It would be neat if you had a MWE included so we could see an actual image get encrypted and decrypted in the README. I find sections like that, sometimes titled "Quick Start", the most instructive way to learn about the functionality of a new library at a glance.
And this is why raising minimum wage can lead to opposite effect than expected. Person making that 100 dollar product may be already at the limit of profitability for that specific product for the company. Raising minimum wage can cause them to become unprofitable, which means that the worker is let go.

For those with low skills, this can mean unemployment, even permanent one.

I think that a lot of the "worker shortage" is in fact companies being unwilling to understand that they are being outcompeted in the market, someone is able to make that 100 dollar product less costly and thus can attract more workers, or alternatively workers/resources cost less abroad.

Selective prosecution.
Well, this prompted me to check out Google's search results for my name. I have a common given and surname, so, it's no surprise there are a lot of people out there with my name. If you just type in my name, I'm nowhere to be found in the first few pages. Almost all of them seem like just regular people, but there's one unsavory character in the mix now who I'm going to be watching out for in the future.
You are right in general, but for the common case, when you want random numbers with the maximum value much less than the maximum integer that can be represented in a word, e.g. you want dice numbers or lottery numbers, the probabilities of the integers produced by multiplication are much more uniform than of those produced by modulo.

If you would want a very wide range for the output random numbers, which is seldom the case, the comparison of the methods could be reversed.

As best as I know: doing this on mobile (assuming that's their platform) requires both:

* a non-iOS device (Android basically)

* a non-Chromium browser on said device (Firefox basically)

That pairing is the only reason I can adblock on mobile. Not sure if things changed on Chrome or related browsers on Android, but as best as I remember, iOS and Android+Chrome aren't adblock-friendly.

Difference in volume. Images that trip CSAM hash are a lot rarer than the content you just described.
We’ll disagree here. I’m all for warnings and keeping the user knowledgable about what is going to happen if you enable this or that api. However forcing developers to make crippled modes of their apps even though nobody will actually use them in this way is a waste of everybody’s time.
Apple settled the lawsuit on August 10, 2021, just to file an appeal on August 17, 2021 (one day after Corellium's announcement). That is the focus of the article, not the original 2019 filing.

From the Reuters link in the article:

> The appeal came as a surprise because Apple had just settled other claims with Corellium relating to the Digitial Milennium Copyright Act, avoiding a trial.

> Experts said they were also surprised that Apple revived a fight against a major research tool provider just after arguing that researchers would provide a check on its controversial plan to scan customer devices.

OP's posting certainly reads as if he really [!] enjoys programming but doesn't enjoy interviewing or startups. So, if he hasn't left something out, he really should stay in this profession but try to find ways out of the interview process (e.g. long-term employment with one employer or finding jobs through contacts or MAYBE go for contracting as the interview process there is very different etc.).

I suppose you need to charge a lot more to provide such guarantees.
>>To pretend that established powers have not consistently and aggressively tried to stamp out threats to capitalism is ridiculous.

I recommend you do more research on systems that have tried to eliminate money, private property and trade. While there has been some US intervention to disrupt them, as in the case of US backed coup attempts, funding of political and armed opposition, and sanctions, the totalitarianism and dysfunction they create is so extreme that there is doubt that anti-market systems are unnatural and unworkable.

>>We have a lot more examples of failed capitalist countries than failed communist ones.

Look at China before and after its 1978 market reforms, or East versus West Germany, or South versus North Korea.

We have socialists in the West, like Jacobin magazine founder Bhaskar Sunkara defending the Berlin wall, that was used to prevent people in East Germany from fleeing, and even the brutal murder of Czar Nicholas II's little children, to avoid admitting that socialism is harmful. Beware of who you believe.

Ask HN: Why do contractors exist if they charge the same as a FAANG FTE?
I recently worked out that a faang salary works out to the same as a fairly average skilled contracting rate (say $1k/day). What is an employer gaining by hiring contractors (who probably receive 25% of that themselves) instead of employing another full time person at 250k per year?

Are there other major costs to company of a full time employee that are significant relative to the salary?

> 700m immigrating in a year will probably achieve collapse.

If they all go to the same destination, sure, but there’s no reason to even expect that collective behaviour and plenty of examples to doubt it (most people go short distances, e.g. 80% of the Syrian refugees went to the countries that share a land border with Syria).

Though I absolutely agree with the point that immigration is super-emotive even at the best of times, and likewise I don’t have a good answer to the troubles which cause a need for asylum (very separate in nature from other causes of migration but often blurred together politically) — best I’ve got is seeing that things are getting less bad, so more of what’s currently happening in aggregate is probably good even though we can clearly see specific examples of places and groups where that’s not good enough, like Afghanistan, Syria, Darfur, the Uyghurs, the Rohingya, and the Yazidi.
Does this algorithm work for the reverse goal (i.e. can content that would trip the CSAM hash be perturbed enough to avoid it without compromising quality of the underlying image)?

To my mind, that's far more disquieting than the risk of someone staging and elaborate attack on an enemy's device.
> priority queue if you must with priority being given by a random number generator tempered with both nonsense

You cannot sensibly call this a "queue". No programmer would accept "random order" when they expected "in order".

Moreover, decisions are independent. The number of people already accepted is not a factor in individual immigration decisions! Someone else getting accepted cannot affect the outcome of your own decision.

> You will reject people whose stories break your heart. You don't get a choice about that.

Why? Who is "you" here? Who's holding a gun to "your" head? You absolutely do get a choice, and moreover if you reject someone who is subsequently killed in the way they warned you about then you, personally - the immigration agent responsible for the decision - are an accomplice in their death.

It's just that this is more apparent when it's the people clearing the runway for the last C130 out of Kabul at gunpoint than when someone's doing it with a pen.
> people must not be reading past 'rape' and just gut-flagging with completely the wrong impression.

I don't think the containment (and a containment will be needed) will be significantly cheaper. The fusion reactor itself is much larger, and accessing it (like, lifting the top off an ARC reactor) will require considerable volume. ITER has a large volume around it where robotic servicing equipment can be arranged to get inside the reactor.

All this volume will have to be hermetically sealed from the outside world, since it will become permeated with tritium. Keeping that tritium from escaping the building will be a major headache (polymer seals cannot be used on penetrations, as tritium permeates through polymers). This will be true in any fuel cycle using deuterium, not just DT, since D+D -> T+p reactions will be occurring.
