It's really not as exciting as all that. As a regular user, I suspect you're unlikely to have an experience like mine.

As part of my job, I perform (authorized) phishing simulations for employees of my employer. Typically this involves registering domains that look like my employer's domain (with permission), or domains that look like those of our vendors (again, with permission). I suspect one too many people clicked Gmail's "report phishing" button and their automated system took it from there. So I wasn't at all surprised that the account eventually got suspended, but I was surprised that my appeal was rejected, and closed with zero investigation. Perhaps I shouldn't have been.

Thankfully the only domains I lost were domains used for that purpose. At the time, I did use Google Domains for my personal domains as well, but thankfully I had those associated with my personal Gmail address and not my work account so I could still control them. Needless to say, though, I moved them off onto another registrar immediately.

The experience has also led me to slowly move off of Google products as a whole, with the notable current exceptions of Android and Google Fi.

--

* before the inevitable "phishing is a violation of their terms of service", it actually isn't. The related section forbids use that violates any laws or regulations, and lists phishing as an example. Authorized phishing simulations do not violate any laws or regulations. Unfortunately, Google failed to follow up with any of the individuals or evidence showing that it was authorized, and just rejected the appeal.
Doesn't feel like that would be in Apple's DNA at all. A lot of their brand identity is a certain Disney-like pristine safeness, and they use it to sell lifestyle products that allow customers to associate with and embody that identity. A social network is all about self-expression and human mess.

Just compare customization/personalization options in Apple software and other software, historically. MySpace it ain't. Apple products are not the ones you import your personality into.

They've certainly dabbled in social features here and there, but none of them have been useful enough to be a hit with customers, I'd argue because what they're willing to do within the limits of their brand guidelines doesn't make for easy social success. Unclear if a working formula exists somewhere in that space on the spectrum.
I think the commenters point was not about people reading articles on the internet and feeling that they've got a better understanding than doctors. It's about medical professionals thinking that they are infallible.
You're right, I checked, and pyright only warns about function calls in default arguments, not mutable containers.

Create Generic Factory in Swift
Why does the USA, The Land of the Free and The Land of Opportunity, have so much bureaucracy? Look, I know fire codes are important, and you don't want a building to crumble in around you, but... Seems the building codes in the US are unnecessarily strict. Is it power hungry bureaucrats or exploitation from contractors that has lead to it? And how can the people be given more liberty to build the way they want?
Because the markets are connected? If you have lumber, why sell it on the cheap to Europeans when you can get more from the Americans?
They reference Automattic's hiring process, which is an interview (90mins), take home coding (6hrs) and a paid project (40hrs).

That essentially makes hiring a serial process for the candidate. All you are selecting for is people who really really want to work for you.

I see software as a form of literacy. How do people hire writers?
I just made an account did a recording but cannot seem to see the network request tab anywhere in the ui?
I can make a brakepoint, add console.log statements and evaluate stuff (pretty cool tech) but where do I find network requests?
It's barely changed IMHO. Last year I ran through every release since 10.1. The UI has been remarkably consistent through that period.
Another interesting (non-fiction) book that flies under the radar is "The Sword and the Shield: The Mitrokhin Archive and the Secret History of the KGB" (vol 1 of 2).

A disillusioned archivist (Mitrokhin) for the KGB kept notes for years and when the Soviet Union collapsed attempted to defect to the US, but was turned away after being incorrectly judged as not credible. But the Brits realized what they had in their hands and took him up on his offer.

The books are an effort by a historian and Mitrokhin to describe the history as revealed by the notes and corroborate them as best as possible. They do a really good job creating a general history of the Cold War from the inside perspective of the KGB.
China has a billion people and is a major top-talent provider to the USA. They can source internally and/or provide enticing alternatives at home for talent who might otherwise leave for the US.
I'm a consultant right now after doing software engineering for almost two decades. I owned a lot of my code before which got me to appreciate caring for maintainability.

I generally work as an advisor rather than a coder but if I do end up coding, one of my primary goals when working for a client is ensuring the code is high quality, maintainable, self-documenting and that any workarounds and cut corners are clearly marked as such and highlighted to the client.

You can just do this because you want to be proud of your work. Because you don't want to hate your life. Because you didn't spend 18 years of your life learning to end up writing unreliable diarrheas just to save yourself 30 mins a week.

And those dev shops in eastern Europe / asia are not consultancies. They're freelancing agencies with a sales pitch. Consulting implies expertise.
Not by any German regulator or agency.
> We'd spend most of the semester proving some trivial facts about morphisms and functors, just specialized to an unfamiliar category

Even if you know category theory, you still need to prove facts about the different categories you are dealing with. Just phrasing it in the language of category theory seldom suffices to prove something.
Just because violent video games isn't problematic doesn't mean social media and/or lootboxes also isn't. The relative innocuousness of marijuana doesn't dismiss the dangers of tobacco, or alcohol.

On the other hand MS enforced strict auth policies to access their Office APIs in a ridiculous fashion. When I needed to register my applications at MS, I just dropped integration into their services and I never looked back.

This is really well done and for me stands out as an example of something written by experts that is actually accessible to newbies like myself. E.g in terms of explaining new concepts and motivating why specific things are important
I'd argue it became that because it is free (as in beer).

People who do things for ideological reasons are always in the fringe and not representative of the whole.
It's weird that the agents suddenly discovered their morals. It's not like they didn't know who'd they be working for before being pulled to the side, apart from the fact that the NSA has been helping all sorts of totalitarian governments with information that could have (and likely was) been used against dissidents etc.. It seems more like they pulled out because it was too blatantly illegal and risky and that was the motivation to leave project raven.
Unfortunately a container house will always end up both more expensive and worse than a traditionally built house. Containers are fantastic as containers but terrible for making a house with. As soon as you start cutting holes in them they lose a great deal of their structural strength which is their main advantage. Terrible to insulate and for condensation as well. The exception is if you’re happy with a single container with no additional holes and only the doors for access and windows and you live in a very low humidity environment.
You can have a funny/ insightful comment that doesn't add to the discussion, so it makes sense to me at least. It's like Facebook + Reddit/ HN voting systems at once.
I think that this is the way to go because it's really hard to catch all of the things that can go on on site if you're not a professional. I built (ok got fellas in to build) an extension many years ago and I didn't catch that the drainage was inadequate until after they had completed and left - so I had to get that done separately and it wasn't cheap. Every builder I've talked to since has given me the impression that they would have spotted this upfront, and I think I believe them.

In my country we often joke about how hard it is to find that one "perfect" doctor - knows what he's doing and knows about his strengths and weaknesses, isnt too arrogant or unwilling to accept his own doubts on the diagnosis, experienced enough yet doesn't charge too much and whatever is prescribed seems to work magically for you.

Once you find someone like that, you're set. Not that one has to blindly follow that person, but it lifts a lot of stress off your head.

It's possible, but nobody does this because the friction to link an account with plaid is very high. You need to pick your bank then give your username and password to your bank (and potentially a 2fa code etc). All this just to get an ACH and routing number.

Plaid's true value add is normalized access to transactions and other banking metadata. Using it only for payments is not a good UX.
> and the uncertainty is the cause of the conflicting recommendations for or against boosters.

Imo it's more relevant that the majority of the human race is not even vaccinated twice. We have to decide, where we can safe more lives. Boosting the immune response in western countries, or giving vaccine to the poorer parts of the world.

Do you believe you should turn your signal on before swerving to avoid a crash?
This digresses a bit but by any chance is your phones volume not set to max when connected to your car? While some Bluetooth speakers will synchronize their volume with whatever your phone's set to, most just treat it like an aux cable and will have its own separate volume. So even if your car speakers are set to max, if your phone volume is at 50%, then it's not gonna be that loud (and will sound like shit).
> If Google deploys Fuchsia on mobile devices, and then morphs it into something that isn't Linux compatible, it just won't be relevant; it's basically a step of retreating into a niche.

Android developers don't care about Linux, it isn't part of the official APIs, unless you are an OEM doing your own drivers and AOSP customization.

As long as Fuchsia runs ART (which they are already porting), and the official NDK APIs, Android users will barely notice it is another OS running on their new phone.
Your rhetoric is straight out of the new right's playbook so I won't waste anyone's time asking for any source to your outlandish claims. Your free to "think" whatever you want, you're free to publish your propaganda but not without opposition:

Left-ish people are among the most tolerant people your can find, unless you tolerate intolerance. That's a hard line.

You're against bodily autonomy for women? You're against consenting adults doing whatever they feel like in their own home? You don't want adults who love each other to do so without discrimination? Well, you're on the wrong side of history, if any of these seem offending to you.

If abortions, homosexuality, being trans aren't lawful, you can claim liberal values all you want, but you're nothing but an activist for a new wave of fascists.

If your idea of the left had any merit, the left would counter protest at any rally you can think of. Instead, they protest those who preach intolerance.

Actually suck less, it has been my option since VMWare made it possible.
Yeah, if you for example use the 1001th hip electron based browser (with some hand-crafted curl workers and custom fetchers with an express based proxy-backend included in the background mangled together with some weird mix of 20% javascript and 80% typescript and a combination of at least 400 different npm packages over a commit history of two weekends) to browse the web ... of course, that assumption might break. :^)

I think the point is, the memory cells do not retain this knowledge for extended periods of time in the case of the current Covid vaccines we have. So should we be looking for a 3rd dose, or try to fund a different vaccine?
I think it's the 6 hour take home coding that's a problem. I would suspect that when hiring writers, they look at a sample of the writer's past work and don't require the writer to spend 6 hours writing a sample children's book.
With planes the 737 upgrading is a feature, not a bug.

It is extremely costly to develop a new airplane and to train staff on it, at the price point and fuel efficiency for airlines to sell ever cheaper tickets. Airbus is doing the exact same with its neo models. Bombardier and Embraer were driven into the arms of the duopoly because they cannot afford to develop new aircraft. Russia, China, and Japan have all tried their hand at pumping billions of dollars into commercial aircraft manufacturing and haven’t been successful.
I deployed two minor (unrelated) bug fixes shortly after posting on HN. I thought this works without downtime etc., but maybe you somehow downloaded an incomplete version of the JS code. Not sure how that could happen.

Anyway, glad it works now!
My comment got flagged - and that's fine, but I'd like to hear an explanation.

Mine is as follows. Historically, the colonization was the domain of countries with access to sea, especially a long coast line - starting with Vikings. Among European countries, the colonization was done mainly by the Brits, Spain, Portugal, France, the predecessors of the modern Netherlands and Belgium.

Other European countries either didn't have access to sea, or had it but for various reasons weren't interested in colonization - for example because they were focused on land wars with their neighbors. You won't find many German or Austrian colonies. And you can talk to the Swiss how white people are guilty of colonialism, but you won't find any understanding there. Some with the whole Eastern Europe.

I understand this simplistic point of view ("white people invaded the whole world") seems attractive to some, but it's false, unjust and racist. If you say, "Several European countries colonized a significant portion of the world" - this is accurate, true, and definitely not racist. But it seems people don't care about facts or being precise anymore: it's all about emotion and fitting one's limited set of views.

EDIT: To people who flag and downvote: I'm a very open-minded person. I don't want to live in my bubble. So please, talk to me. Explain why I'm wrong - or at least why you disagree. HN is a discussion forum, let's use this opportunity to actually transmit some useful information. To me, downvoting and flagging says, "I disagree but I can't find any counter-arguments".
Ah, I see the confusion there. I meant public like "public ipv4 address", not a governmental "public utility".

Pfizer is testing a Delta-specific booster [1]. They can’t just plop it into the market. It has to go through a whole new set of approvals.

'The category of algebras of a monad on Set is complete and cocomplete, and the forgetful functor preserves limits.' gets you pretty far in a lot of subjects.

This is the lie told by the failed managers of the community in which the chicken lived, hoping to shift the blame for their own poor attention to contingency planning onto a chicken.

It used to be fun when it was just my friends, sure once in the while you get that annoying person who’s trying to live a completely different life on social media but overall funny memes, shitposting with friends, checking in at places. Until Facebook implemented the ultimate evil suggestion feature and brought in news articles then everything went to hell.
The thing is that it is still worse than an open system. Why pay the bridge bandit? There is some infrastructure and that is fine, but I hate to see the tendency in tech to insert themselves as middle man. OS that don't do that are superior targets.
Windows, because a large part of the userspace nowadays uses .NET, even if calling into COM APIs underneath.

Followed by Android, because Google goes out of their way to only make NDK usable for games, audio processing, and native methods, nothing else.

But I do agree better stacks would be welcomed.
That would seem much more plausible! If that's the case, I wasn't the only person who was fooled; Ars Technica is reporting that:

Another, actually better article: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130723/12395923907/even-...

This corroborates what I've heard here and there while working in the GSM industry: you could trust a phone that's turned off, if only you could trust it being actually turned off.

But I can't find any protocol spec for IPV3.

edit3:

has the TTL field, that's June of 1978, and it's IPV4.

IPV3 does not seem to have had a TTL field:
