Is it inflated expectations, or do younger people not always understand what they are worth? I suspect it's probably somewhere in between the two.

Not a lawyer but I sat jury duty on a contract dispute.

A verbal agreement absolutely can be an enforceable contract. The crux is whether there was a meeting of the minds. Of course, without documentation this is hard to prove, so you find people arguing it either direction in legal disputes.
I think I'm going to have to follow @Foone, this is the second thread I've seen by them and it is of just as high of quality and informative content as the first.
You are basically advocating for acts of terrorism that will kill people. There are plenty of places like hospitals that need reliable power or people will die.
This has nothing to do with Lisp advocates. The X3J13 committee agonized over most every detail of CL to this degree over a period of years that is long gone. That level of agony is what has created a language that has architecturally stood the test of time. Sure it has warts, but warts are preferable to reinventing the wheel every few years in search of some platonic idea of a language. The only reason this particular paper is noteworthy is that people see to love to argue about lisp-1 vs lisp-2 just like they do about syntactic whitespace and tabs vs spaces.
No, passwords are salted because they are reused...
Exactly. Age has no place being passed to the proposed compensation function. Experience and other correlated parameters are valid, but age itself is not.

If a candidate and the employer can’t reach an agreement, so be it. If that is because the candidate inflates their expectations because of their age [or wisdom], well, see previous sentence.

Switch to firefox, there are extensions to put tabs in the background so it feels lightweight whether you have 1 tab or 1001. All of apples reported efficiencies with safari just wash away when you compare it to the performance of firefox with tab suspension and ublock origin considering the modern web.

In some places. Not in Poland, as long as you're not competing with your employer. Also clauses like "we own the work you do in your personal time" have no legal implications here, because they directly contradict the labor law.

Generally you're free to do whatever you wish with your free time outside working hours and the employment contract has no power over it.

Or ungenerously, they think all engineers are interchangeable and don't realize there may be a difference in code quality between different levels of experience, so why not just get the cheapest ones you can.
This is a trick I use when doing competitive analysis for a certain type of sensor. I need to measure the amount of noise in the system, but a dead-band or quantization is almost always included. So, I insert a signal that bumps up against the boundaries of the dead-band or quantization. Doing this repeatedly gives me a sampling of the noise.
My experience with Dell laptops seems to match up with your experience on the MBP. If something is going to fail, it will usually fail immediately or last the "lifetime" of the device. Batteries being the main exception as those age out fast ..
> I miss the old days of online nerds before "marketing" teams realized they can really advertise through social media and now you can't even tell what is real.

Yeah, true. When I was new to HN, I had a minor altercation with some mod here because I posted a reply to a particular comment that the poster seemed to be doing paid marketing / shilling for Apple. My comment was deleted and I was reminded that as per HN community rules, I cannot accuse anyone of such things. Annoyed, I replied to the mod that it seemed obvious that the post was paid social media marketing. Someone (I don't remember if it was the mod or another fellow member of HN) pointed out that if the same logic was applied to my critical and negative posts about Apple, someone could make an argument that too was paid social media marketing by Apple's competitors. I was honestly stumped for a moment because negative campaigns are a fact too (e.g. politicians do a lot of negative campaigning through social media; the Chinese are aggressively known to do such kind of negative campaigning by posting negative reviews of their competitors product on Amazon).

That said, it does happen on HN too. It would be unreasonable to expect otherwise - the kind of high net worth / IT influential crowd that comes to HN is the very market that Apple (and others) target.
Yes. I have had next-day on-site support for Thinkpads in Europa, South Africa and the US. For devices not necessarily purchased in that country. The only question I got was with a German Thinkpad in the US when the power brick failed: "Do you want the replacement with the European plug or the US plug?". Everything else was fixed promptly without any questions or issues with warranty status. And no Thinkpads don't fail that often, I just have used them for more than 20 years.
I've seen this too, and I really wonder why there is such an age bias toward straight out of college kids. Having some is fine but the whole industry seems heavily biased in that direction.

I suspect it's rooted in the historic youth of computer aficionados back during the early-mid PC era in the 1970s and 1980s, and a cargo cult idea that youth was the ingredient that made this stuff happen. Instead it was the other way around. The youth of the participants was a product of all this stuff being so new. Now that the PC revolution is almost 50 years old there are tons of people who know computers very well in all age groups.
For my game, I started with unity + a bunch of plugins, but switched to unreal a few months later for a variety of reasons. C++ and a lot of custom systems - third party game plugins seem to have a lot more issues than in full stack dev. It’s not really about tech stack so much as good system design choices that lets you work really fast. I put a little site up for my prototype at https://barbariangrunge.com

I also have a app for tabletop rpg prep but it isn’t live yet: node, mongo (for a certain type of user editable schema), nginx, react, redux, the usual. I replaced chef with some bash scripts in my projects a while ago and it’s been great
How awkward would it be to have the 35+ requirement be outlawed. Would certainly be interesting to read those legal arguments.

Even studios have budgets. I don't care about spending $6-15k for business hardware per inventory unit, plus you're not purchasing it frequently or in mass orders.

The problem I and a lot of other firms have is the value you're getting for it. It's utter garbage, and has been all over the press for years now, so it's not exactly news.

When big studios and little firms alike are complaining and asking, "Who exactly is this for?" It's clear they don't care about mass professional market consumption. And I'm talking about businesses that are going to spend over $6000 per desktop-compute unit.

The organizations that I have seen are the only relevant customers are the ones who have deep Apple-centric workflows, and they're not buying a lot of the hardware. They might have under 10 units in the office at most.

If the prices were more inline with what the rest of the hardware market looked like, I'd provide Mac Pros to each staff member because it would be a no-brainer.
I sort of wish we had an effective way to say e.g. "no DMs from account that isn't <this> verified" on less centralised systems - the "no DMs from unregistered users" switch on some ircds being the most primitive possible gesture in such a direction.

I imagine you'd want to turn that dial rather higher than I would, and with good reason, but having a dial at all seems like a good way to avoid a whole bunch of other potential problems.

(though "if this was going to happen it probably already would have" is likely a good argument for not holding one's breath)

The reason why I felt there's some reason to Signal's stand on forks was because forks not standing up Them having their own F-Droid repository is to the quality standards, not adhering to feature parity while consuming their resources might not go well with their funders.

Signal having its own repo on F-Droid is the viable solution for them but they don't seem have any intention of doing it.

(A threshold of) matchings result in the private keys for the images being leaked to Apple, where they're vulnerable to:

(1) Review by apple staff
(2) Access and leaking by other apple staff
(3) Access by hackers who have compromised their system
(4) Access by parties coercing apple/staff, including via national security letters.

All of which compromise the privacy of the user. This matters or the neuralhash comparison wouldn't exist in the first place.

Totally agree that the whole system is grotesque-- but that doesn't stop it also being grotesque in every detail as well. The fact that there are false positives when they easily could have designed a system that had none (at the expense of increased false negatives) shows that Apple doesn't especially value customer privacy even if you accept their vigilante privacy invasion. The fact that it's possible to construct adversarial false positives and that their reports didn't disclose this fact shows they either don't know what they're doing or they're not being honest about the risks (or both).
I love these threads for the tools people mention. These threads are one of the best things about HN.
Possibly because the former option is advertised constantly and most people aren't aware of the latter.
I've noticed this too: at first on my friend's hackintosh, which I just chalked up to a bad kext or something. I was pretty surprised to find that the used MBP I bought also exhibited the behavior. Touch-typing on it feels like I'm fat fingering a Nokia keypad, with how frequently I need to delete and try again.

And a blockade on manufactured products from China / shut the Suez, make half of it uneconomic. So there must be no exported / offshored pollution.

It makes me wonder if for many years parents knew what they were doing by keeping their kids away from “bad crowds”. It wasn’t just to keep them away from bad behaviors but also bad ideas. Certainly difficult to do today without alienating your kids.

I find it ironic that so much of what is “social” today was built by nerds who I assume had a difficult time socializing and everyone else that did not have a problem socializing for thousands of years are now using these weird social tools.
2012 macbook pro is basically like an e30 series bmw. Completely workable with common tools. I've gone into this computer for repairs or hardware upgrades over the years a dozen times by now and thanks to its repairability and performance with updated components I am still using it today.
If the entire market is discriminating against old people, you don't need any discrimination to fill those roles with them. You just need to ignore age and filter for competence.
I had the opposite experience. My macbook air battery was dying, so I paid the $129 to replace it. When I got the computer back, it wouldn't charge. So, they replaced the motherboard. I got it back and it still wouldn't charge - so they handed me a brand-new next-gen macbook air. Inconvenient, sure, but exceeded my expectations. I've found they've been generous with battery replacements.

I think you mean collaboration.
I have:

* Personal workstation/gaming machine

* Employer provided work laptop (MBP)

* Surface Go Tablet used for reading around the house, light travel, etc.

* Personal Dell laptop used for longer travel

* Old desktop converted to a server for running services I always need up.

* A rpi 3b used for running services I want to physically separate from the internet accessible main server.

I've considered repurposing some old hardware I have laying around into a htpc type thing for gaming/emulation on my TV, but that's on hold right now due to GPU pricing.

So I'm not far off 7. Other tech-heavy users may have seperate devices for their spouse/kids, or dedicated devices for specific OSes (my main workstation is a dual boot, my laptop is linux only and the tablet is windows only). So I can see a path to 10 for others.
> If age discrimination is real, that means that people are not valuing older people properly - they're undervaluing them

While age discrimination is certainly real, I think it's also conflated with the fact that there just isn't a lot of demand for people who are good at their jobs in general.

I'd liken it to how, if you take up baking, then on pretty much your first try you can make a pie that's better than the pie from almost every commercial bakery. The reason for that isn't because home bakers have more knowledge of baking techniques than professional bakers -- they don't, not by a long shot. It's because if only 1 in 100 people is willing to actually pay enough to make it profitable to make properly made baked good, then there just aren't many situations where you can build a business around doing that.

In other words, older people might not be less employable in spite of the fact that they're better at their jobs, but because they're better at their jobs.

I don't have great answers to that, although I think by "banking partners" they actually mean "credit card companies" and most specifically mean MasterCard, which (assuming reporting on this I've read is correct) was or may still be in the process of further tightening their policies around adult content.

Well, a not-great but plausible answer, maybe -- companies make changes, both good and ill, because they're panicked over PR fiascos all the time. From all appearances, MasterCard announced those policy changes because of PR pressure that was put on them by "Exodus Cry," a fundamentalist Christian anti-porn activist group. OnlyFans may have calculated that their best bet was to knock Exodus Cry off their hashtag-save-the-children pedestal.
And add margins!
After AppleCare expires Apple caps the user cost of hardware repairs per visit to some number they look up in a per-model table that presumably varies over time.

It appears the author doesn’t know this as they seem quite nervous about losing coverage.

In my case I got a keyboard / top cover, logic board, and battery all replaced for $400 and change, on a 6.5 year old machine well out of AppleCare. They only do this while the model is not considered obsolete, and they have more discretion to do things in your favor if your initial purchase was made directly through Apple, and if you previously had AppleCare on the device, even if it is expired.

In the US, after five years they declare your device obsolete. Or after seven years in some states in the US (edit: in cases where it is required to be that long by state law). Then after that, your only repair options are DIY or third party.

Also if there is a repair done by Apple at any time, in or out of AppleCare, that repair itself is warrantied for 90 days. And if an issue was put on the record in Apple’s support system for your device before AppleCare expired, it can still be covered even if it is brought in for repair after AppleCare expired.
Recovering lawyer here.

The main reason bootcamps like this don't exist is because there's no "one size fits all" approach to law. The right legal approach for YOU depends on how deep your pockets are, how much risk tolerance you have, what you're building, which tools you're using, how your company is structured, where you're located, where your users are located, etc.

For example, the "right" user agreement for a team in one state might be very different from that of a team in another state, even if their products are nearly identical.

Knowing the "right" answer also isn't as simple as memorizing the general rules, or even the exceptions (or the exceptions to the exceptions, or the exceptions to the exceptions to the exceptions...). Lawyers weigh the general rules against the specific facts of your case, procedural considerations (e.g., which court would we want to have jurisdiction if there were a dispute over X?), precedent (i.e., how would the court likely rule on X, based on its past decisions?), business considerations (e.g., is X approach cost-effective in the real world?), etc.

It would be enormously difficult to condense all of that into a bootcamp format that delivered anything of real value.

Non-competes, anti-moonlighting clauses, and contract employment are all quite common and have been for a long time. The "legal implication" is that you read the contracts and follow it or work around it. Most corporate/employment lawyers, HR teams, or hiring managers should be fairly familiar with these situations.

Also, the demands listed in employment agreements are not always legally enforceable, or not legally enforceable in as broad of a way that they appear to be phrased.
Other than "old" engineers which could obviously be valuable - I think having everyone finding their place in society is a great vision to have. Makes me happier seeing old, or even disabled people fulfill themselves
For the most part, this is correct. One exception is "tortious interference with a contract". Let's say I work full-time for Company A, and in my employment agreement, I agree not to do any work on the side. Then let's say Company B knows that I work for Company A and knows that I am contractually prohibited from working for them. If Company B induces me to breach my employment agreement with Company A, Company A can often sue them under the "tortious interference with a contract" cause of action.

For most US jurisdictions, intent is required on the part of the obstructing party, but in a minority of jurisdictions, negligence is enough.

I suspect this is why there's a clause in most employment agreements that I've signed, where the employee has to represent that they are free to enter into the agreement.
