There are dozens (probably hundreds) of articles demonizing men for interacting with women in public they do not know. Your comment sounds a lot like "Look the hiring manager in the eye and give him a firm handshake" advice that's half a century out of date. We no longer live in the type of high trust society where such casual interactions are welcomed or even socially acceptable. Perhaps that still exists in a small town that could be part of a Hallmark movie but in the typical contemporary urban center, you're just as likely to end up on someone's "I don't owe you my attention" tiktok video as you are to have a mutually positive interaction.
GE is one of my go to examples of the financialization of American capitalism. Pretty much every company once it crosses a certain size starts looking more like a bank than the goods and/or services company that existed before hand. This is both bad as a country, we need goods and services not GE financial operations, and often quite bad for the company as everything else ends up getting deprioritized and/or sold off.

It’s also worth pointing out that this financial wing almost killed GE in 2008. Obviously consumer spending (e.g. washing machines) was going to drop during that time, but the financial wing of the company almost bankrupted them and ended up getting them removed from the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
EFF cannot monitor everything, it just protects your rights.
No, Facebook and Instagram are not monitoring conversations. Yes, many security researchers routinely examine traffic from these apps to see what’s being communicated with the servers.

Recording and interpreting speech would require a lot of CPU (if done on device) or network bandwidth (if uploaded to the cloud). Enough that it would be immediately obvious if apps were trying to do this.

That is, if they even could. iOS limits what apps can even do in the background and shows an icon when the microphone is in use in the background. Again, it would be obvious if apps were listening.

But let’s assume that somehow they managed to avoid all of these pitfalls and they were listening to conversations, performing speech to text, and uploading your conversations. This would require communication with their servers, which isn’t difficult to extract through basic reverse engineering. Many security researchers reverse engineer these communications on a regular basis to look for bugs, some of which can be worth six figures in these companies’ bounty programs. If there was an API for uploading your secret conversations, it would be the holy grail discovery for a security researcher. Someone would have found it.

The myth persists because coincidences will happen in high numbers at scale. If hundreds of millions of people are spending hours on social media each week, some number of them will see ads related to some conversation they had recently by pure random chance. Add in a general distrust for big tech companies right now and some subset of people will become convinced that their coincidences are evidence of a conspiracy.

I am part of a small non-profit online workshop organization. We have a small hetzner server to host our email server. I don't think we ever had any trouble with email delivery in the year we have run it.

I also set my personal email server (mailinabox on the cheapest hetzner server) last month. All my emails were accepted. Only some exchange emails to my friends were initially sent to spam, but after asking them to mark the emails as not spam, and them replying to me a few times, I have not had further delivery issues.

I did have some weird kurfufle with dns last week, where my domain would not resolve. There was some notice on the namecheap website about some dns outage, but it has disappeared since then and I was too busy to explore then. I just spent yesterday resetting everything in namecheap configuration after which everything started working again.
Probably at least partly a feature, to ensure a minimum level of commitment from members? My word of mouth knowledge of how well it works is good enough that I would pay without hesitation if I needed it.
The propagation rate for DNS is beyond anyone's control: TTL is advisory, not mandatory. But SMTP has MX records, which implement preference. If you have two SMTP receivers on different networks, it's unlikely that both of them are changing IPs at the same time.

If one of those is a paid-for VM, it's probably static, so it will not change IP barring business reasons. $5/month gets you a reasonable VM from any of many different service.

That's an interesting perspective! IMHO, the Democratic party since the 90s has become the party of the elites. They have abandoned the middle and working class voter and made common cause with the radical academic left and the welfare dependent underclass. I see Trumpism as just the development of the Tea Party, i.e., a populist revolt against the GOP establishment. The elites are authoritarian, period. The Right/Left divide is outmoded. The new split is a class war with the middle class. I'll vote for whichever party represents their interests because I believe a strong middle class is best for the country. In 2021, it's not the Dems.

I've never understood why people conflate Trump with anti-vax. He got the vaccine. He was among the first.

I'm not sure if it's compulsive tribalism, or cognitive dissonance, but it seems to affect both sides.
This is a pretty bad explanation. In almost all cases the deposit created is taken, sent elsewhere and reduces a loan somewhere. The document does explain this a little way down.

The original statement about cheaply funding loans with deposits is spot on. Look at any of the big four banks - they all have over a trillion dollars of deposits at 10-15 bps which they then lend at a few %.

No, in most cases you don't. The stream interface is mostly designed around simple Lists, Sets and Maps. It also interacts very well with the Collection framework (e.g. myHashmap.entrySet() yielding a set, etc.) which is part of the standard library.

You can extend streams with custom collectors, but rarely if ever you need to define intermediate data structures. You do need to define initial and terminal structures, but I'd argue that's good practice regardless.
I’m both old and old fashioned, but I’ll take auto-save any day over manual save, especially something that required manual save without support of auto-save.

I’ve lost enough work prior to auto-save being common that I never want to deal with an app that doesn’t somehow save my work pretty frequently.

Facebook could (relatively) easily modify their system to do its own IP handling; they probably have enough money to rebuild the entire stack.
These reasons are valid even in the tech industry - especially for engineers.

I can see engineers making $400k/yr quitting as if it is nothing. They just can't see themselves being treated like a cog in the wheel, reporting to incompetent management.

From my conversations, these engineers just tired of reporting to managers who are not technically as skilled as them but have large boss egos. They don't want to be treated as subservient slaves with a paycheck. They especially don't want to report to paper pusher managers who only do performance reviews and suck all the visibility onto themselves - when the real output producers are the engineers.

To boot, these engineers have the financial means to just quit their previous bosses. Why spend your one life reporting to an incompetent management?

And neither of them are feature complete with Pine phone either which is the reason for this thread :-)

Actually owning your own phone to the point of deciding yourself what runs on it and what does not and being able to repair it easily are two huge features when you start to think about it.
If you get caught by this you can request "delivery mitigation" (i.e. removal from their IP blacklist) here:

Resources to become a better software engineer
The only reliable way I've found to block YouTube (and other things) while still allowing kid to use Google Classroom/Hangouts/etc is:

1) Use Windows 10 with Kids/Family features
2) Switch my kid to use Edge instead of Chrome/Chromium

Nr 1 allows you to block apps (e.g. Calculator, Chrome, Roblox ...) as well as websites - either completely and/or during specific days/times. There's also "screen time" feature - both for the computer/OS itself, as well as per application.

So you can allow kid to have "unlimited" screen time on week days between 8am and 3pm (during "home" school) while block all apps/games except Edge. Then say in the afternoon allow 2 hours for Minecraft/Roblox/etc. Or not allow any - so when they try to launch it you get email/notification and can allow it for the next 5/15 minutes ... 1/3/8 hours.

Nr 2 is mostly because Chrome doesn't care/use Windows block/filter rules. Luckily Edge is basically Chrome that does honor those rules.

The 3.5 inch disks took off around the same time as Windows did (the Mac had always used them) so probably no coincidence that's that the save icon represents.
The 'fast-food of realtionships' sums it up pretty well. However, if you disagree and have found otherwise then I respect that too.

Personally, it's not for me but then I have been single for a while so I'm not really qualified to criticise.
It's not so much expertise you need, you need the mail services to "trust" your address with reputation. If other providers take the hard line that Microsoft are taking now (550 refusals by default for unknown IPs) then using mail rely services like MailGun may be the only alternative for self hosting that only sends a few emails a year.
I'm pretty new to using Linux. Anyone know how I can get a firewall like the one being used by SubgraphOS? Meaning a GUI way to give each app permission to connect to the internet, even a one-time permission?

>I want to use content recognition capability to auto-mute commercials.

I looked into this on old 2014 android TVs (was actually modified tablet OS). You could install apps fine but you'd need even deeper level tools to reverse engineer the custom TV APP API to hook into the feed + channel metadata. I figured if you could count how high the CC syllables per minute that would be a good proxy for ads or indian soap opera then mute the sound and freeze frame.

I remember holding out for a dual HDMI input output Arm device that never materialised. Nowadays latest Android TV would probably have the hardware Tuner API open to any apps unless they are being stubborn and anti-user.
>Saying that work is not noble is demeaning to those who worked for your current standard of living.

The video is about people choosing better opportunities for themselves. If there aren't people to do those hard jobs, then those jobs need to compete with the opportunities these people are choosing instead, for example through higher pay. Saying these people should choose worse work, for the benefit of others (eg. business owners), by appealing to some nebulous concept of nobility is exploitative.
Im not the one moralizing. In fact I’m doing the opposite.

Scrubbing toilets pays less because fewer people can write software. Any human being can scrub a toilet. That’s what unskilled labor means.

I have done menial jobs and taken pride in every one. The vast majority of your “managerial class” have done the same.

The difference is they never stopped applying themselves and worked tooth and nail to get where they are.

The idea of some huge protected aristocracy in the US is a convenient myth. It makes up less than 1%. The rest of us work and worked our asses off.

So please stop covering laziness with moralizing. The rest of us are working and tired of the entitlement from the parasites.

Edit:

One only needs to look at your words. “Puppet masters”, “preisthood”, “debt based economy”, etc.

None of it jibes with reality. I suggest perhaps examining what psychologist would call your external locus of control, it won’t serve you well in life. Taking a class in economics and reading up on labor history on the US would also be helpful.
Don’t forget GMAC - General Motors Acceptance Corp. The joke back then was that GM was a perennial money loser and only existed as a loss leader, just so GMAC could make loans.
If everything was as expected, we don't, but the issue is that there appears to be something different about the particles coming from the accelerator (sterile neutrinos? or simply shorter distance?) since these results haven't been seen in other experiments. Of course the fact that the results could be separately replicated (and combined to give the 6sigma confidence) is another useful aspect.

If there are sterile neutrinos... they are a possible dark matter particle.
This isn't really true. In the US, if someone is "letting you store money", and it's real, actual money, the deposit has to be held at a bank or a credit union. Thus, the way many fintechs work right now is that they have a partner bank, which holds the bank charter, that keeps FDIC insured deposits.

Down the road, though, I think you'll see some big fintechs buy up one of the many small, regional banks just to get their bank charter. Most of the underlying tech at a bank runs on a "Core Banking" system from one of a couple of players (FIS, Fiserv, etc), but down the road I could easily see more modern core banking tech come out from a fintech so they could then control everything from backend to frontend experience and take all of the profits.
I went through it and did the "optimal" track up to and including a Master degree.

Today, almost everyone does Abitur and a Bachelor's degree... tbh you are regarded as pretty simple if you didnt finish at least a Bachelor and given our traditional dual system of diploma and trades it's really sad to observe this... We actually have a solid and proven system for people to learn the trades (Ausbildung) after secondary education. Master craftsmen like electricians have potential to earn WAY more than many of the snobby academics and will have insane job security. But "society" (read: industry) conditions people that a Bachelor is necessary. Got a Bachelor degree in whatever? Welcome to your new job as secretary, here is your €30k/year pre tax (with some plumber laughing in the background).

The meaning of the Bachelor degree has been watered down to nothing in the last 20 years. It sounds arrogant, but I really do know students in university who are incapable of composing a sensible German sentence that is logically conistent and grammatically correct. As if there was zero academic requirements to enter. Germany has a "numerus clausus" (required minimum grade)for many popular fields but Abitur grades are not comparable at all across federal states. 1.0 in Bavaria (actually hard) means something entirely different than in Hamburg (quite achievable) but students from both will be treated equal when chosen for university.

It's almost impossible to fail Abitur and the Bachelor's unless you make your own life unnecessarily hard or have some pretty bad luck in life. "Street smart" people will easily get a Bachelor degree because cheating is easy and expectations are minimal - unless you decide to do engineering at RWTH Aachen or TUM (which are amazing programs) in whcih case you'd actually be doing something mildly demanding.

When Germany switched from its diploma system to a more "internationally standardized" Bachelor/Master model it destroyed a successful model of education in an attempt to be more comparable on an international scale. Back in the day, people in the US or Asia wouldn't immediately know what degree "Dipl. Ing." corresponded to and how you'd translate that but I will defend my opinion to death that those degree programs were better at actually producing capable people.

Industry just wants to produce work drones and modern universities are their partners in crime. Actual academics start after the Bachelor when the simpletons and bored people have left.
does it really? wouldn't paying lead to more entitlement from surfers?
Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Shit, for adding an array of objects with numbers just use a simple map/reduce instead of confusing future developers with your fancy curry.

Whenever I run into a curry, I can usually solve the same issue with a simple for loop that makes it instantly clear what the code does, always.
If this did happen, some 12-year-old with WireShark would probably make national news. In other words, Facebook and Instagram are probably 3 steps ahead of you. Whether that should scare or console us, well, that's up to you.
The incentives for marriage in society today (atleast here) make this less of a financially viable thing:

You have a great attitude!

And I am not kidding. I think for something that got so much attention on HN, where realistically this kind of product can only exist for now, the 'conversion' rate was very low. Billion dollar companies were made of HN threads with lot less engagement. Makes me wonder do we really want a search engine like this or we just like the idea of it?

And what are the barriers to use something like this? You say yourself that you are using Google most of the time. Is jumping to check results on this engine going to be too much friction for most uses?

Can something like this exist in isolation? What kind of value would it need to provide for users to remember using it en-masse as an additional/primary vertical search like they do for Amazon?

Just thinking out-loud as I am also interested in the space (through http://teclis.com).
Great suggestions. Will do.
My wife and I actually experience something similar that had a real impact on our social life's. Android and group iMessage do not play nice. The groups get "sharded" for seemly no reason. As a result, our friends stop added us to group messages and we were no longer in the loop for social gathering and "causal banter".

One of those instances where if I had an iphone, I actually think I would have developed closer relationship in the group. It's very off-putting to think about the impact of brand choice.
The first app I'd fire up when arriving in a new city was the CS app.

The Average American Would Pay $242,000 for One Extra Year of Life
She mentions this in her transcript. First of all they aren’t as common on earth as other particles (she says “10-15 have passed through you while listening to this paragraph”. How many photons hit you in that period of time? If you can make a bunch at once (as a side effect of another high energy interaction) you can look at them in a known place at a known time.

Secondly, she mentions LSND which was a big tub of liquid that would interact with neutrinos that passed through it. Flashes from those interactions would be picked up by photo detectors (hence “scintillation”). The most famous such setup in a mine in Japan, but there are several such “neutrino telescopes”.
People's jobs aren't just sources of income, it can be their dignity. I don't have an answer to how to create non bullshit jobs since those are rarer these days, but highly repetitive jobs don't sound like they can give you dignity or meaning in your work.
Yes, it's compulsive tribalism. And the media-lords who exploit it.
