> Also, how are they measuring "innovation"?

This is really important. Not to diss Microsoft as they do put out innovative stuff nowadays (eg, vscode) but I want to know how they measure this as there’s a lot of trash features coming out (eg, Teams) so having more or fewer of those new things isn’t innovation.

Basically, I don’t trust Microsoft or Inc to define innovation in a way that matters to my curiosity.
Can't get over the amount of corporate memphis on that page.
The attackers also needed to know the user's phone number and have access to their email account. That is a sufficiently high bar that I can still be sympathetic to Coinbase here.

Not sure why you discount username and phone either. Each of these is an additional layer of security simply by being more information an attacker needs to collect and associate. Coinbase doesn't publish a list of usernames. And how would someone associate phone numbers back to them?
Agreed! It took years for me to get a door, so now that I have one I close it every chance I get. Silence is really wonderful, only WFH has been better.
100. There were plenty of campaigns over the past decades to "expose the fakeness" of Hollywood actors that are portrayed as role models. For the same reasons we're discussing now.

Where are these campaigns now? The ones designed to "expose the fakeness" of your BFFs insta.

Policy & regulation are a dead end. I suppose Facebook et al know this, that's why our ATTENTION is there.

The real change comes in the form of massive settlement to fund these PSAs and further gambling-tobacco-esque taxing to keep those campaigns funded.

Thanks for sharing! Did you have a look what else is needed to attempt to build this? There are some gerber files for the pcb boards + probably the components soldered on top + wires + clips + headband?

What is "intensional type theory"? Did you mean "intentional"? I know what intentional logic is, but I've never heard of intentional type theory before (and neither has wikipedia).
I've donated to OSS foundations in the past but haven't funded projects via Github, Patreon or direct donations (e.g. Apache, Eclipse, Mozilla, etc).
If everyone else has the benefits of remote work, who is going to buy your office space?
Me too. Everyone is cooing that they "made everyone whole". What if they weren't able to.
Convoy | Software Engineers (Mid, Senior) | Atlanta, GA | https://www.convoy.com
Convoy is a digital freight marketplace building up a network of shippers and carriers while reducing overall carbon emissions in the age-old trucking industry.

Convoy is hiring software engineers. The base pay and benefits are competitive with generous pre-IPO equity grants. Work life balance is great, ICs have lots of autonomy and opportunity to propose projects, influence priorities, and speak directly with leadership. There's an opportunity to ask questions to the CEO and executives every week. I've never worked at another company with this level of candidness and transparency.

WITH Queries
Is that why they always sit at the "funny guys" table during lunch?
I agree with a lot of the criticism commented so far, that it could be biased (even unintentionally), how do you really measure innovation and so on. But... just based on my own experiences and gut, I kind of agree. It seems harder to innovate now. I get it this is anecdotal or whatever, but when we were all together, there were so many times when; maybe in the hallway yaking, or break room, and just casually talking, then next thing you know we are in a huddle room white boarding something. That's just not happening now. We have tried different things, Slack threads, scheduled Bluejeans calls etc. but I don't feel like we have replicated it. And a lot of my colleagues agree, we talk about it openly. We all love WFH, but miss the synergy.

I sometimes wonder if there is a technical solution we are all missing? I dunno, AR/VR, something to bring back that certain je ne sais quoi of all being in one place?
2nd question: do you read the original link before or after the comments?

This thread shows that "reading the original link" has more nuance than rolls easily off the keyboard.

There's nuance.

How far does due diligence require wading into the swamp of a Twitter link? How many bullet items of Github Awesome List must be read? Or is scrolling down enough? Must I inspect the source of a linked repository?

Or there's not nuance if comments are a thing in themselves. Like any box on the internet, most of the text typed in is mostly unrelated to the article. The article or just the headline trips the floodgate and what someone was inclined to say yesterday gets said today.

The thinnest excuses to type are enough to start typing.

Case in point.

Yes, to both Vue and Nuxt via Open Collective. I use both tools so I like to give back to ensure work continues. I also like the idea of backing the 2nd horse in the race, so to speak, to keep competition active. A lot of backing and money is already behind React and its ecosystem, so putting my money towards Vue development feels like a win for me as well as potentially keeping the other frameworks and tools innovative.

Social Security Numbers Aren't Secure: What Should We Use Instead?
It's still not the most polished thing in the world, but few IDE-ish tools are... particularly free ones.

I've used a lot of very very expensive ones that aren't as polished as pgAdmin4.

The whole "native app with a web interface" thing is... probably not anybody's idea of "ideal," but I 100% respect it. It's free and it's multiplatform. Choices and compromises were made to achieve that and I don't know that I would have done differently when faced with the same constraints.
Benefitting from government spending is not inconsistent with believing in a society free from the government.

I see the government as a parasitic and malevolent organisation who forcefully steals tens of thousands from my profits every year.

This is not inconsistent with getting benefits to reduce my taxation or apply for government grant. The more resources and benefits you can get off from your enemy, the better it is.

His beliefs are inconsistent with working for the government.

I think Peter Thiel should have sided with the libertarian party more than Donald Trump; he probably didn't do it because a libertarian victory is pretty much impossible.
In the case where a libertarian win is impossible, I'd pick republicans vs democrats as well. I don't have any hopes that republicans will reduce spending or reduce the size of the government, but at least they tend to enact redistributive policies less than their left wing counterparts.

I'm not sure if Thiel is an anarcho-capitalist, but something I've found after debating for 20 years is that left wing anarchist and anarcho-capitalists agree on the problem but not on the solution.
Anarcho capitalists think we should have a society without government and with free market capitalism.
Left wing anarchists think we should have a society without government and with individuals that voluntarily share what they have.

Depending on who you are, one explanation will make sense and the other one won't. I invite you to research the subject more and to spend time thinking how your solution could work in practice. The book that finally convinced me that anarcho capitalism might work is The Machinery of Freedom (Friedman).

I personally think that left wing anarchism and communism without a government could work if all the individuals were behaving perfectly.
I also think anarcho-capitalism could work, if we managed to privatise the entire government without creating a power imbalance between armed people and non armed people (creating one or more quasi-governments), because the evil nature of humans would be kept in check by competition in the market and reputation.
Yes, there are a few developers I directly fund via patreon and github sponsors. I also do occasional one-off donations.

I have also given money to nonprofits that are adjacent to open source, such as the Free Software Conservancy.

I also write a lot of software and release it under FOSS licenses. Over the years most of it has been unfunded (and I never sought funding) but some of it (and, this year, most of it) is developed on a contract basis so money is changing hands, but again no looking for "donations" from users who happen to pick it up from github or whatever.

And cost - most standards organizations charge money for implementations and for training. I find it no coincidence that the most widely implemented standards are the ones that you can learn about and implement for free.
If everything is a number one priority, nothing is.

I’ve literally told our internal users “if you can’t tell me which of these two things is more important to you, my team will work on them in whichever order is best for us.”

“If you could only have one and then the other, which would you pick to go first?” “But we have to have them both.” “Are they related/linked?” “No.” “Then which would you want first?” “I want them both.” “Thank you; I don’t need any more information from you.”
Would a fix to this be to make OTP’s 10 seconds rather than 30? Or is that not feasible/doesn’t make a difference?
I donate money to some open source projects, and also to the FSF and EFF. I was also able to get previous employers to match my donations. Good reminder for me to see if my current employer will do that.
Yes, if you're allowed to let employee compensation go unfunded, you can show a profit.

Who is doing more than a couple rounds of interviews outside of (pardon the scare quotes) "tech companies"? Has anyone run into, say, a bank pulling 4+ rounds of interviews, or is this limited to FAANG(M), SV companies and startups that seek to emulate them?
I've hired people from HN postings, been hired from HN postings and been contacted for contract work multiple times which I did a number of them.

The key in the 90's to getting hired is mostly the same as today, except one key difference. Overall the key is making each submission personal by highlighting your experience and training in areas it is likely relevant to the company.

The key difference is today there are so many automated tools which scan and filters resumes before a human ever sees them. So when you are looking for a position you will be more successful finding humans to send your resume to versus systems. If you are sending to HR@, or hiring@ usually it is automated (not always), which means your resume better have the keywords that HR/recruiter thought were important when they talked to the hiring manager.

In the late 90's & early 2000's the automated resume scanning was really starting to grow, so people used to keyword stuff their resume at the end usually. Now it is better to do that as bullet points & text within the role description as some of the software disfavors keyword lists from what I have seen.

I also tailor each resume slightly to highlight certain roles and de-emphasize others which helps. I never lie, just highlight what I think might be more relevant and remove things that aren't for the position I am sending to.

FWIW: as a founder or hiring manager I never use resume or HR scanning services as you lose too many good candidates. And frankly a major part of your job is building your team and if you are outsourcing that to some software you are not doing what is best for your company or team.

edit: add a word for readability
When did thinking about, or factoring sourcing issues, become "ideological purity"?

It seems to me that you're arguing the only way to not demand ideological purity is by demanding that the only factor that should be considered is end user experience.

Which, ironically, is demanding far more ideological purity than the person you replied to is.

It's not a problem with capitalism, it's a problem in the system that should protect capitalism. Free-market capitalism doesn't work if someone is cheating, and that's why we have these systems and regulations that try to prevent cheating. There is a systemic risk where the protectors and cheaters are the same people, which (again) is not the problem of capitalism, but a problem of the system that protects it. More regulators and more central power is likely to increase the risk that the regulators become cheaters.
