Let’s say there are two ranks. Senior 1 and Senior 2, with Senior 2 being a higher ranking position.

Senior 2 will naturally come with more equity than Senior 1. The fastest way to increase your pay will be to be promoted from Senior 1 to Senior 2. You’re incentive will be to do whatever it takes to move from Senior 1 to Senior 2, which more often than not isn’t putting shovel to dirt.

Go to Levels.fyi, and look at how equity increases as you raise the ranks.

Another blog post that I love along very vaguely similar lines is

Honestly, I love the idea, but I'm not sold on the execution.

It's thin for a highly modular laptop, but I would not consider it to be thin by current manufacturing trends.

I do think the keyboard being so easy to remove is a nice feature. I've repaired more laptops and desktops in my life than I would have cared to, and that's a rather uncommon and repair-friendly addition. I hope interchangeable keyboards / top cases become a thing with this laptop. I'd love to have a keyboard no Caps Lock (sub. Ctrl) and no windows key (sub. Super key, Meta, etc..).

Does anyone have any idea how the various Linux bistro support is on this device? I can imagine the driver compatibility being a nightmare, but then again, I imagine a lot has changed since I last ran Linux as my main OS (about 6-7 year ago).

I can see this being great for companies. In-house repairs would perhaps be more common and would save companies time and money. However, for personal usage and for a laptop in that price range, I'd still take the MacBook even with the CSAM junk, over this laptop. I still wish the company all the success though.
The problems with (personal) goals is that it's really hard to both define good goals and measure them. And if you don't you make things worse for good people.

Example: the goal for someone is to build feature X. Now, they could tremendously help the company by answering the questions of another developer for feature Y, but that makes them look worse when it comes to evaluation of their goal because it's less time they can spend on it.

Now, you can also set a second goal of "be helpful" or so, but how do you measure that?

And so on. In the end, goals might be good to get a better performance out of unmotivated/lazy folks, but for motivated/engaged folks, it's the opposite of being helpful.

> This doesn't sound like company policy, and more like they were subpoenaed or otherwise compelled to hand over communications.

Yeah it feels like something is definitely missing here. If it's some kind of legal discovery, it's no shocking that the person cannot delete "personal stuff" before they hand it over, that would basically render pointless whatever they are doing with the phone.
Couldnt you just create a new personal account for work?
Okay, that makes a lot more sense. To be frank, this twitter thread seems sensationalist if reality is closer to "I didn't bother to create a separate work account" rather than "Apple asked me to merge my personal account".

Ideally your employer should pay for seats for their GH Org.
Using corporate devices for personal stuff was imo always a grey area. Some companies have lax policies, some strongly discourage this.

If the device is provided by the company, there should be little expectation of privacy on such devices.

I would not consider adding personal onedrive/Dropbox/etc. On a corp device, nor the email.
It is clearly a future product idea simply designed to inspire robotics experts to join the company. Not many other places (eg, Boston Dynamics) have access to custom designed ML hardware. So they are saying: if you want to build the robots of the future, this is the company to join.

I don't understand how that's "BS"? They're not marketing this to consumers.
It really works!

"dotnet watch" and go. It watches your C# files for changes and reloads when it notices on save.

I use VSCode not visual studio which has some deeper integrations there I guess. But it's still fine.

It's only available in 6, though, as far as I know for real sub-second hot reloads. As it's a preview release right now, it's not as fun to set up but it's not too bad.

5 and below has reloading on code change that isn't quite instant (takes maybe a few seconds) but still works with the same command.
Can you point me to literally any evidence what so ever that the results fake? Is the FSD Beta regularly crashing into things it put at the wrong range?

Tesla has cars with Lidar on the road to check the models as well.

And who says anything about entitled, they have spent a huge amount of effort and therefore money into a solution that they think will be better.

Nobody with Lidar has delivered either so what is better is still an open question. Tesla has picked their strategy and working on it. Others do the same.

My point is simply, not that Tesla has the perfect solution, rather the idea that Tesla is operating based on 'ego' is idiotic. Elon Musk and his companies have repeatably shown that they are very willing, comically so, to throw away work and go back to the beginning if they have encountered a problem. E

lon is well known for not falling into the sunk cost fallacy. Consider the manufacturing of Model 3. Consider Starship being planned to be built from carbon fiber, and switching to stainless steel.

Do you really believe they know lidar would be better and they not changing because of what Musk said 4 years ago? That is literally the opposite of how his company have operated.
It's still more privacy-preserving than not preloading them at all, right? Whoever is serving the images doesn't get your IP addresses, cookies, etc.

Facebook is the same; Even on non-corporate devices I saw internal admin tools in my feed while on campus. Why I had access to internal admin tools when I was as far from the main site as possible is a different story.
Well yeah it's plausible they would just turn the contents of everyone's entire iCloud backups over to the FBI, which they can totally do right now at any time since they already have the keys!

So what? What you're describing is not what this system does. You could argue against literally any possibility anyone could dream up, because they're the platform vendor and they can make any change they want. If that's a problem when you're evaluating your threat model then this new system is the least of your worries.

And as far as I can see this system is the least intrusive version of what any of the other cloud vendors are doing. Don't want it? Turn off iCloud Photos and sync to something else like your own Nextcloud instance.
Nope, not the same Google, sorry.

> All reddit NSFW content has been removed from /r/popular and /r/all about two months ago.
I think they're getting ready for an IPO.

Bingo. Back in the days one of the most popular subreddit was /r/jailbait (I won't explain what that is here, you can search for it in DuckDuckGo in private mode). Back in the days free speech was huge on Reddit and the admins did quite the mental gymnastics to appease the concerns of the community over free speech. Of course this was done just around the time they got investor money.

Not that I mourn the loss of this kind of content but it really makes you think how low free speech have fallen in terms of priorities going from "we won't even ban jailbait" to "let's ban distasteful subs" and being more prude than my religious grandma in certain aspects. Now it's nearly impossible to post a link in the default subs and nearly all the top comments are obviously bought accounts.

I’m thorn on that. As someone who has had intermittent periods of .NET, it’s a complete mess every time I’ve come back after a couple of years off and figuring out what new APIs are the new thing to use, which have been deprecated and when looking for a solution of something involving e.g. configuring stuff in the web server request handing stack it’s a real confusing mess.

Docs of course aren’t all up to date and are some times contradictory. Maybe it's better today but I've had plenty of 404s on official docs as well.

It’s way worse than React in this regard (if not only by its sheer size and larger scope)

The rapid changing allows them to do good stuff like you say, but it’s like the only way to write modern .NET properly is to have throughly read every release notes since about v4....

The same Apple that can't figure out how to let customers merge two accounts [1]?

[1] Why would a customer need to merge two accounts? Because originally Apple accounts were just for iTunes, associated with your email address.

Then they started cloud services like file storage, email, calendars, etc, and those accounts were tied to your Apple provided email address.

Eventually they made it so that iTunes and cloud used the same accounts, but those of us who had both iTunes and cloud before that ended up with two accounts. And since your devices can only be signed into one at a time, if we were not extremely careful we ended up with some of our app and music purchases on one account, and some on the other.

This is an ongoing pain in the ass. It would be much much nicer if Apple provided a way to delete one of the accounts and move all the purchases to the other, but they have not done so despite receiving numerous requests to do so.

Sometimes you get lucky. It turned out that all I had on the Apple addressed account was a couple of "purchases" of free apps plus some paid for storage. It was easy just to repurchase those free apps on my original iTunes account, purchase cloud storage for that and delete the other account from my password manager so I can't ever accidentally log in to it. But many people have a lot of non-free app and music and video purchases on both, and so are stuck keeping them both active.

Nice concept art
I'm smelling glue. You too?
I disagree, I think its much more fundamental then simply saving a few $.

This goes for lidar and the interior, is simply what the believe the right solution is.

If they could save 100$ per car and have a traditional interior, I don't think they would do it.

The same for lidar, even if it was free, they wouldn't use it. They simply believe the additional complexity of sensor fusion is not worth it.
The contortions apple is going through to scan locally only really make sense if they are gearing up to do end to end encryption of iCloud photos. I imagine they have other prerequisites before they are ready to announce that as a feature, but if they are not planning to encrypt more why wouldn’t they just scan in the cloud?

requestAnimationFrame is much better here. If you're just drawing into a canvas, there's no reason to do that every N milliseconds - you want to do it once per screen refresh, which is what RAF is for. There's also the added benefit that RAF won't fire when the document isn't visible, so you don't waste cycles drawing to a canvas that's in a background tab, etc.
Starbucks won because they recreated a friendly living room.

Does Apple do this as corporate policy, or did an Apple manager ask an employee to do this?

I can’t imagine the legal department endorsing this.

I think it's also related to automation in manufacturing. I imagine Tesla gets lots of sales people trying to pitch "ML-enhanced manufacturing solution".

Many repetitive tasks are better suited to a simple heuristic. In those scenarios using ML as a solution is like building a rocket to fly from SF to LA. In many cases, heuristics are both simpler and the best solution to a problem, but many companies are falling into the hype trap and using ML to solve problems where it's actually complete overkill or unnecessary.

It's not clear if it was the employee in particular. It was a work device, so it's possible that devices from people on a team or involved in something were needed for some legal thing.
>This is a pretty big move for me because I am a developer who makes apps for both iOS and MacOS, so I pretty much need Apple software for work.

Looks like it's work related. Although perhaps they could just treat it as a work device and use personal devices for everything else.
Spot on on all accounts. It's been my policy for a very long time now. I consider having a hard separation between my personal systems and work systems to be a security measure that protects both myself and my employer.

Ask HN: How to not to get screwed up start up options?
Exhausted other options(1) and finally here.
I believe this forum has people who have been there and done it.

I have options worth 2% in a Series A company. 7 years in the making.
50% vested and I exercised 50% of the vested ones.

The company is in talks to sell. This may happen in the next 4-8 months. The target buyers are 3 public companies and 3 private but cash-rich companies.

I have heard horror stories about early employees not making anything despite
a high valuation on exit. The worst horror story is the position is eliminated and the employee is forced to exercise or leave everything on the table and walk away.

Are there any tips to not be part of the continued early employee horror stories?

Some of the questions to get the guidance, mostly tips on how to frame the conversation.

I am part of the management team and have some leverage to ask for a few things if not everything.

1. Is there a way to get some cash out on exit?

This is primarily working ass off for 7 years on a regular salary
and never really benefited the growth.

2. What happens to unvested options?

3. Can I ask for acceleration? If yes, any tips to frame the discussion

4. How to protect the vested but not exercised options in the evening of leaving the new company?

5. Is there anything to ask at this stage that companies can easily afford to give, without putting the founders in a tricky position?

Much appreciate references to CA or other experts or agencies to learn this financial engineering part. Thanks.

While things may have changed in the year since I left Apple the iCloud policy was thus:

Employees got a free upgrade to the higher tier of iCloud service (the 1TB of storage or whatever). There was also an iCloud@Work program rolled out a few years ago that was like a "behind the firewall" version of iCloud services. It was an approved means to share confidential company docs like shared Notes (in the Notes app) or iWork documents.

What was never clear was the level of integration of personal iCloud documents (photos, iWork, etc) and the @Work ones on the back end. No one gave you a straight answer if you asked if opting in for the @Work stuff allowed Apple to riffle through your photos or personal documents in iCloud.

I always assumed opting into the @Work stuff granted Apple back door access to everything in your iCloud account.
In the thread it's mentioned that Apple apparently asks employees to use the same iCloud account for work and personal use.

Many of the production facilities that Ford uses, and huge sunk cost in things like engine production, are not an asset, but a cost in the long term.

Ford will not be making its own batteries, meaning somebody else will make a large part of the profit from each car.

Ford will not make its own self driving tech, so some other company will make that profit.

Ford will not sell its own cars, meaning they will lose large part of the margin on dealers.

Ford is massively invested in things that will be negative assets and has very, very little investment in the things that will matter in the next 5-10 years.
By the time FSD is literally 'Full Self Driving' and much more safer to use than today, the Tesla bot will be ready.

Until then, it is a prototype mannequin compared to the bots by Boston Dynamics. We'll see how it 'really works' soon.
This is highly misleading.

The original cost of the app was about 2.5mm. This has now increased to 4.7mm because of bug fixes, but also because the app was expanded to also include other types of information that allows it to be accepted by airlines, for example.

So the cost is 4.7mm for the existing working version of the app, which is nearly double the original stated cost but also includes additional features not in the original contract.

The state has additionally authorized another 7mm for the app to be potentially expanded to be used by other states as well.

So they basically got the original app within budget, expanded features which made it slightly more expensive, and are adding a 3rd phase which will add some more costs. All those costs add up to about 11-12mm.

Beyond that the state has authorized 27mm as a total budget which should allow them to add features/expand the app to handle new situations (for example, if changes need to be made for the new booster shots) quickly without having to first scramble for the money.

IOW, this actually looks like a surprisingly successful software contracting situation.
