In principle they don’t, but in practice they do.

There is no fundamental technical reason we can’t have infrastructure and platforms that are as secure as Google, Apple, and Amazon provide.

However this is in practice an unsolved problem. The software doesn’t exist to replace what these organizations do without the concentrated expertise they bring to bear.

It’s disingenuous to pretend otherwise, and the comparison with AT&T is bordering on ridiculous. You might as well talk about the problems with the monopoly on steam engines at this point.
> Do the official LineageOS releases have Verified Boot (allow you to lock the bootloader)?

Possible in theory, but complicated:

https://source.android.com/security/verifiedboot/device-stat...

https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/i76xme/is_it_pos...

These attacks require physical access to the device, and a rather sophisticated adversary.

If the attacker has physical access to the device, they could plant a camera to get the passwords or use a $5 wrench, etc.

https://xkcd.com/538/

At that security level, you can't trust a single device, and you'll probably need to look at security solutions such as hardware security keys (Yubikeys), Shamir's Secret Sharing, plausibly deniable encryption, etc.
Google says there's been 100M AirPods produced, and that each airpod weighs 4g, plus 38g for the case, so 46g total. That's 4.6 metric kiltons of airpods. The paper says that Bitcoin produces 30.7 metric kilotons of e-waste per year, so that's about 6.5 airpod-scale disasters every single year.

If the private company is set up with the culture and explicit governance that makes sure minority shareholders get a cut of profits, then sure.

But the average private tech company isn’t like that. There’s probably 2-4 founders who pay themselves extravagant salaries and control all voting shares. Minority equity never gets a payday.
So, the libraries that some developers have to use are complex. Not the language itself.

Additionally, Spring Boot exists and is lightweight and super easy to understand, jooQ is an ORM/query builder that makes Hibernate look like a toy (and it super simple).

Just because Java gets tainted by overengineering doesn't mean the language itself isn't simple.

Yeah, Java can be bad, but thats more the old school enterprise frameworks. A lot of newer things in Java are much simpler and easier to use. You can be very successful building out your own framework using things like Guice, Guava, and Dropwizard. It lets you pull in what you want and leave out the things you don't need.

We did present it to the legislators that way. They didn't care. The way it works is, the lobbyists for the dealers go and meet with the legislators behind closed doors or in the hallways of the Roundhouse (NM State Capitol) and they tell them not to vote yes on a bill in committee. They provide a few talking points as to why. Usually these legislators already take money from the lobbyists. (Dealers give like half a million a year to the legislators' campaigns; it's all disclosed.) So by the time the committee has its hearing, the votes are already decided. The whole "debate" and the testimony from witnesses is largely theatre. You wind up with anti-Tesla legislators all rattling off the verbatim talking points of the dealers, as if the whole thing is scripted. We pointed out that Tesla has no franchisees so how does this law apply, etc. Doesn't matter. Falls on deaf ears. They're already bought. Their mind is made up.

> but have yet to run into a time where I needed to understand or write a binary tree.

I ran a UI team for 3 years, we built a UI framework, then the UI and apps on top of it.

We lived trees and tree traversals. Understanding trees was essential to everything we did.

Do I ask people to balance trees? No, but I do care if people can understand traversals, and also how to manipulate and design tree structures to solve business problems. Being able to design the right data structure to solve a problem is an important skill, and trees are one of our fields fundamental data structures.

I had dreadful cassette players growing up, though I recently (in the last few years) picked up a new old stock HS-PC202MIII and it sounds fabulous.

I buy a lot of digital music off of bandcamp and where possible I buy a cassette (inclusive of a digital copy), just because of the different experience when listening with that format.
Hey friend I'm so deeply sorry you're feeling this way. I'm sad to say that I can relate to what you've described. I think a lot of people can, both men and women. Loneliness was a problem before the pandemic, now jeez man it's a real issue.

It could be that the way you're feeling extends beyond your romantic problems and you're suffering from depression. You might want to consider talking with a therapist about that. I never did, but I read a book called Feeling Great by David Burns and found it helpful.

As far as dating goes I would caution you about telling yourself too many stories about why you're single - these are likely to be just what they sound like, stories. Most people you meet aren't going to be romantically attracted to you, and thats ok! Thats part of being human.

Something that I found helped me to feel a little less negative while searching (almost entirely online for me) was to think of the person on the other end of the screen, and how even though we might not be a very good match they were probably also having a pretty bad time in the app and even if I couldn't see any end in sight to my loneliness I could extend some human kindness to these people and try to make that one experience a little better for them.

For me that was a real turning point. I found online dating easier and the rejection less painful. I also met someone really special shortly after that.

Another thing that makes me feel better when I'm lonely or feeling down in general is helping people. Especially anonymously, and with no way of them knowing it was you or returning the favor. Give it a try - it's delightful.

Hopefully something in there was useful. Even if not, I feel for you. And I care about what happens to you. Just because you feel this way today doesn't mean you'll always feel this way.

Take care friend.
depends on the skill required for the job. It is a natural consequence of how things work. If you do not like it, you can always try to be the one who hires and fires.

But yes, that has its own set of risks. Risks that are disregarded all the time making employers the bad part of the story and employees the good ones. This is not at all like that you can find good and bad on both sides...

An employer is not bad for trying to pay you less. The reverse argument should be true also: the employee is bad because they want more (than they deserve or produce).

No part is bad, it is natural to want to maximize our outcome. It is how things are. I see many people having a problem with this thing. But they only have the problem when it is the other who tries to do that. When they do it for their own benefit then everything is fair and alright.
> Just don’t read the news: it’s an addictive consumer product developed to keep folks on all sides of the spectrum continuously in crisis mode.

You're painting with way too broad a brush. It's like saying the internet is just there to addict you so you click ads. Sure that's true if you only consider Facebook et al., but there's more to the internet than that.

It's better advice to avoid cable "news" and opinion columnists that align too strongly with your prejudices.

The news pages from high quality outlets like the AP, NYT, WSJ, etc. are fine, and there aren't really any good substitutes for them. Similarly, it's good to read opinions you disagree with, but it's maybe better to read someone with a "heterodox" opinion than hate read someone with an orthodox opinion from the "other side."

Yup, but I wonder why there were bandwidth issues in Europe when the pandemic first started (video streaming services started throttling bitrate very aggressively in Europe) but there were no issues in the United States.

Perhaps the last mile average is slow but the overall infrastructure and backbone is more robust in the US (this would make sense historically as well)
Sometimes, though, companies outright lie to you.

I have been through several acquisitions, as well as working at a firm promising significant profit sharing, then getting fucked over after they actively lie to you.

FFS when Lockheed acquired us, the c-suite got awesome money, but every other employee was fucked over.

People are douchebags during acquisitions.
Some of Americas closest allies are authoritarian regimes. Why would anyone expect profit moticated companies like Google or Apple to have higher moral standards than the elected representative US goverment where it operates from itself?

Frustratingly so. Getting an offer of a number of shares, without any context on the total number outstanding or recent valuations, doesn't provide you with the ability to calculate future upsides. Though even if you get those numbers, it is much rarer for things like preferred shares and any liquidity multiple they might have, which can screw over the common holders even is successful exits.

I don’t understand why people keep suggesting we throw more money at a broken healthcare system when we already spend more on healthcare than any other country.

Offer a "user picks section" that makes the option for your updates to be public and you can follow a user and look at articles they upvoted. Then you can follow quality curators whose preferences align with yours.
It’s hard to tell if these results hold any meaning or not. Where did the numbers come from? Are these just averages from their users? If so, I’d imagine a huge selection bias pushing these numbers up. Are these households only or do they include data centers? I’m betting the US has a higher density of servers per capita than most countries.

Using the median or including standard deviation seems like the only way to approach an even slightly useful picture.
No. That is ESPP. RSUs are, indeed, just taxable income linked to share price.

The fact that RSUs are taxed as income in no way means “they aren’t equity”, though, so this whole thread is just filled with bizarre inaccuracies.
I think it's also important to highlight like you did that guns don't solve all problems and that with them you can end up in an even worse situation. Just like some people get killed by seatbelts in a way.
So name squatting will still be a thing? Any solutions for that?
But in Java you have to use frameworks since the std lib does not offer anything for web / DB. Does not matter if the language is simple but you're forced to used a framework.

> What do you find magical in terms of Python in particular?

Lots of libraries are magical. SQLAlchemy, most of the data science libraries, even the standard library returns different types based on the values of inputs (e.g., open() returns a binary file or a text file depending on the string you pass into it). Additionally, people often go crazy with various dynamic typing features (rather than refactoring into a common interface, people will do a bunch of `if isinstance(...)`es all over the place. Similarly people tend to go crazy with metaclasses and so on. I could go on and on.
Not quite. The vast majority of petroleum comes from the remnants of microorganisms like algae. They settle in anoxic aqueous environments, are buried over millions of years, compressed and transformed into organic rich rock called kerogen. If that kerogen is buried to sufficient depth and temperature it then cooks and is converted to oil and gas.

Trees and plant matter typically turn into peat and eventually coal.

> Renault, Nissan, Opel, VW and Mercedes all have an electric van

None of which are cargo vans suitable for business use. They're all minivans. Mercedes and Ford have announced electric full sized vans but they are years away from general availability.

> Mercedes, Jeep and Humvee have all announced off road vehicles that will start being sold soon

That depends on what you mean by soon. Jeep has a plug in hybrid on the market now, so I guess that's a step in the right direction. Their full electric is only in concept and is years from production. The new Humvee is still vaporware. Mercedes has announced an SUV but it is not an off road vehicle.

As long as congress continues to willfully ignore cable monopolies with the help of lobbyist friends, it’s a cesspool. Why does this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comcast even exist in its current form.
Around that time, I vaguely recall Linux switching from DWARF to ELF, some kind of libc5 (libc4 ??) to libc6 migration in the the ecosystem and a Sanyo CDROM driver that needed some source code edits to work for my model causing me endless grief as a kid exploring beyond DOS. Great times!
Wireless internet is more common in European and Asian countries because you can put up a few towers and be done, it gets throttled when you have congestion.

America has fiber and mostly copper (from our phone line laying days) strung all throughout America, the bandwidth is much higher in total.

The job left here is replacing copper w/ fiber (or at least DOCSIS 3.1 via copper), but it's expensive and some ISPs it isn't worth it for the customers they have, so you have some areas bringing the national average down.

Starlink will be nice for really remote areas where it make no sense to run a line or a tower for a couple customers. Existing sat internet is unusable. There's also been a big push to modernize slightly bigger towns with fiber by smaller ISPs.
Yikes, that's really nasty, you're right. Not sure why frameworks like this tend to reinvent the wheel. This isn't the first to create a new DSL for writing HTML. The most efficient way to write HTML is to use HTML, or an in-html template like Handlebars or embedded elixir. No need for a senseless abstraction layer on top of an already existing markup language.

While density may be part of it, my (admittedly: anecdotal) experience in splitting my time between Los Angeles and the nearby mountain communities over the last year is that LA broadband speed is consistently 5 times slower.
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. But you can be sure that saying anything to the effect of “let me Google that for you” will always look snarky, especially on a pretty technical forum. And snark is not welcome here, as you can see in the guidelines.

Your other comment here is much less snarky and much more welcome. So, thank you, I’ll give that a try.
That actually has nothing to do with thorium and everything to do with the coolant configuration. Any low-pressure coolant reactor system can make that claim, with any fuel cycle. Molten salt, liquid metal, organic, you name it.

It was, although it got bitten at one update explicitly by the GC: entity positions moved from a bunch of arrays, to a single Position() class for each entity, leading to memory allocations that murdered performance.

But then again, that's a problem you'd get without GC too, just maybe a bit less harsh/unpredictable.
F# is nothing to throw away as well, and the CLR has native support for C++.

You know that thing, which WebAssembly is trying to clone.
The point here though is there’s a file size limit for images you’re uploading. With the 10MB limit you can’t upload your source image for conversion to the example image you linked. You need to do an initial conversion first, which means you’ll introduce more artifacts.
I think there are market for both technologies. I have been working with Python/Django for more than 5 years and I always receive offers. I have friends that work with Node/React and they also receive offers. I would say pick the one you like more.

Ask HN: How useful is a personal CRM?
I have never heard of a personal CRM (personal customer relationship manager) until recently. Others refer to it as personal relationship manager.

So I am curious to know, how often people use a Personal CRM?, How useful is it?

What are your views on Personal CRM software?
> It's not broke, stop trying to fix it.

I completely agree.

But look on even HN, if anyone mentions a library they're using you get the inevitable comment about how there's not been a PR in 3 months so the project must be dead. Do a search of HN for the word "Modern" and look how many projects assert themselves as such.

> Nobody wants that!

Apparently, they do. It's just you and I that don't and we aren't enough.

Hi. I'm sorry you're going through this; it's a tough one.

There's another "Ask HN" going on right now: "How do I get fit as a software engineer" [0]. My suggestions would be to start working on yourself. Getting fit/physical exercise will immediately produce beneficial physical and emotional changes. When I started working out I immediately felt more confident (as an example). It will also get you out of your head a little bit.

I don't have any dating advice, other than stop actively looking. Something about the smell of desperation is a turn off. Meet people organically.

The pandemics is a difficult time to look for romance, best of luck.
