Those claims about privacy and security are certainly believable. Facebook has only leaked a billion or so profiles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook#Breaches

Yes, this seems like a prudent choice for companies to use Facebook, excuse me, "Workplace", to manage internal data. Heck, why does Facebook need to sell ads, they could just sell "Workplace". The service seems to be working well for Facebook, except for the leaks.
Plain SNI did not predicate the existence of megaproviders, in that respect it is better in every way. I don't want to agonize specifics, just to note that when you have the sponsors of a standard being the same folk who stand to benefit the most from it, always call bullshit.

In an academic setting its more for the latter, for say social media its more the former. Definitely depends on the context.

I find it interesting there can both be a stereotype of people who enter the field of psychology because they've had something to deal with themselves, and also an idea that those same students are somehow weak or not tough enough for wanting trigger warnings. If you zoom out I think its better to have TWs, when not overapplied.

I wonder if your opinion would be different if those unarmed rednecks were able to get to Speaker Pelosi, Leader Schumer, Minority Leader McConnell or VP Pence?

Those "unarmed rednecks" were able to do something not even the various armies of the Confederacy couldn't: get inside the capitol.

People are not terrified enough, because this group of people saw they could do it and I have a strong feeling they will try again.

I agree with this as far as it goes, but I see a reasonable number of trigger warnings in the wild, and the vast majority are exactly the kind of content-oriented labels you're envisioning. This is one of those issues where crazy edge cases capture 100% of the press coverage.

I would also..

- allow government to compete on the free market.

- allow government to force-purchase static businesses that are profitable but not innovating.

- require government to monitor such port folio and privatize where innovation is failing. Privatization of this kind should not be rushed and aim to get good value for the assets.

- print money against the new government assets minus earnings from privatization

I went to a shopping earlier earlier this week in El Salvador, and spoke to one of the cashiers about their experience with BTC while shopping.

"We have two Bitcoin payment processors, one from a private bank and another is the state owned wallet. We have had only two clients attempting to pay with bitcoin and both transactions failed. The state owned one has been down for most of the week, and the private bank app can't receive payments from the state owned one".

Ask HN: Can I save my career?
I’ve had pretty much a failure of a career. For five years I was underpaid even when taking into consideration all the circumstances, stuck disorganized companies where tech was a cost center never in the sort of environment that let me grow, but I always said, next time I’ll be get there, but it seems that it’s too late at this point. A lot of it’s my fault, and I’m honestly really demotivated/jaded now, but at the same time I don’t want to give up.

This time around I tried to be pickier, to target companies that looked like they paid well and could provide good growth, or in domains that interest me, but it was not working. Front door applications are a crapshoot, as I’m sure many are aware, and I could never manage to grab an interview. The frustrating part is it makes sense.

My resume, my work history, is nearly irrelevant to what many of these companies are looking for. Cloud technologies and services? I’m familiarly enough to know what they are/how they’re used, but I’ve never worked anywhere where I’ve been exposed to them, so you won’t find them on my resume? Programming languages? I know enough about most of the ones that get used (and other that don’t) to be relatively productive very quickly, but I haven’t used them professionally so You won’t find them in my resume. Stories about me solving hard problems or taking leadership or managing large scale / designing systems to last under heavy load? I’ve barely had the opportunity to write much code in my current role thanks to the sluggishness of corporate bureaucracy and I never have worked in an environment that would give me anything to write about.

In the end, it makes perfect sense my applications get rejected or tossed to the void. Everything I’ve done has been unremarkable even compared to every day unremarkable development. Especially for how long I’ve been doing this. I can get interviews sure, I can even get offers if I want. Granted none of them are paying that great and almost of all of them are going to leave me in the same position as I am now X years down the road.

I admittedly don’t do as much in the side anymore, though I do have some really neat (at least IMHO) projects in the world, and some extremely trivial, but nonetheless useful contributions to OSS you’ve probably heard of. Nobody ever cares. It’s never brought up when I include it on my resume and if I bring it up, it doesn’t really seem to generate any interest. I’ve also been told straight up in some interviews that they’re less interested in my non-professional work (in the context of asking me about technical challenges/feats)

I’m not sure what do now. I’m sure if I dedicated my life to something (i.e. start making substantial contributions to Linux or something or start pumping content on every idea that pops in my head, or deep diving into some hot domain), I could generate enough interest to revive myself, but that’s a whole career on its own.

I recently received a new work laptop in the mail. And IT had stuck a piece of paper inside explaining it is essential I only charge it with the charger it came with, other usb-c chargers/cables might not work and could possibly damage the laptop. I am very ignorant on usb-c, but to me it seems crazy it's come to things like that.

Here's a test I wrote recently, in the style expected at my company. Tell me what exactly you think this is contributing to maintainability, or what you think could be done better. I spent an hour on this and found it pure drudgery. I half suspect I could have written a code generator for it in that hour instead. I had no idea whether the code really worked until I ran it against the real upstream.

The unit under test is a gateway to a configuration service.

Python dependency management is rubbish, and many python projects have incomplete or missing requirements.txt files. I dislike Python as well (why on earth is whitespace relevant??) but unfortunately if you want to tinker with any of the newest deep-learning projects, you'll need python.

I use Anaconda for package management on Ubuntu, which helps a lot, but it's still not my preferred programming language.
You apparently don’t know many combat veterans if you think they predominantly sit on only one side of the political spectrum.
If this were about, say, the color yellow, or a political ideology (even a reprehensible one), I would 100% agree with you. I see where you're coming from - we all want our peers to be resilient in the face of difficulty. I don't think that schools are hindering this goal by using trigger warnings.

Gah, I'm sorry. I tried to write about some of my own difficulties that trigger warnings help me with, but couldn't get it to come out right. The point I was trying to make was that e.g. forcing a sexual assault survivor to watch a film depicting rape, with no warning, seems needlessly cruel.

Having also some clinical experience with PTSD treatment: I found the GP's statement to be closer to my experience.

> to improve from N random accesses per query/update to 1 random access per query/update.

I think their concern is that N (nondependent) random accesses can happen in parallel not much more slowly than 1 random access (assuming good speculation and sufficient memory bandwidth).
> I don't think for a second that they did this for any altruistic reasons. I think it had more to do with Google not shipping concurrent features for Google Maps on iOS.

The messaging at the time was that as the Google Maps deal was ending, it turned out that all the features were on the table during renegotiation - but Google wanted accounts and location tracking and advertising in the core maps app.

Google's claim is that they had no strategic info that Apple Maps was going to be released. The general feeling of the public is that Apple's QA department also had no info that it was going to be released.

However, I suspect Apple knew that convergence of the phone with a GPS was a critical feature and thus they had to build and buy and bite and claw their way to have a competitive offering they controlled. Google's push for user telemetry during that renegotiation cycle may have prompted Apple to accelerate, and to launch before it was really ready.

That said, Google was never going to stand still with Maps, so they had to launch with a feature deficit at some time to justify the product investment. Google and Apple have their own data sets and their own teams dedicated to tools as well as manual curation of that data.
Love seeing all the optimizations. Is this largely the new Microsoft work?
I don't have PTSD so I don't really get much benefit from these things. I once knew someone that had OCD and they told me that that's exactly what you do in cognitive behavioral therapy. To be honest, I don't really know if trigger warnings help people or not but some people seem to like them. I figure that if someone has a really severe problem, they might want to do the exposure in a controlled environment rather than try to cope in front of a class though until they can moderate it better.
> allow government to compete on the free market

So then we should disallow government from regulating the market? There is a conflict of interest in your conjecture.
It would also require no infrastructure between the emitter and the detector. Right now we lay little glass waveguides all over the seafloor to accomplish this, or put satellites in geo synchronous orbit and suffer the latency.

Neutrino comms would be civilization transforming.
The simple answer is to join an engineering-focused startup. The barrier to entry is lower, and you'll (be forced to) get productive with a lot of tools fast, and probably build a bunch of features.

Facebook is a public company whose purpose is serve advertisers. Online ads is the only way they can generate revenue. It is not some woo-woo about connecting the world, giving people a voice, or whatever. That's what the internet enables, not a single website controlled by someone else. Facebook tries to take credit for what is good about the internet.

I truly think it could move away from that model by innovating ?

Disclaimer: I don't like FB, work there, I don't use it personally, I do use Instagram though.

the problem is apple. they are (understandably) refusing to ship an up-to-date global python interpreter with macOS. not only that, they aren't removing the default 2.7 that they ship.

macOS Big Sur ships Python 2.7. ha. ha. ha.

I walked along Huntington Beach’s beach today to checkout what happened. Although the cleanup workers did a great job, there were still puddles of oil on the sand, and you could definitely smell it in the air. The puddles were much clumpier than I imagined, but guess that’s just how crude oil is.

What litigation or legislation would hollow out Facebook? I would like to see stronger legislation around consumer data privacy, but that would only marginally reduce Facebook advertising revenue.
Of course it does. Apple has a database of "MAC address <-> GPS location" pairs.

By knowing the MAC address and signal strength of devices around you it can triangulate the position of your device without needing an in-built GPS or celluar modem.

It's what allows Macs in particular to know their location in a pretty accurate way.

It’s hard to imagine the scale of the U.S. air operations against Germany and say the U.S. let the Russians break themselves without doing anything to help. Or look at the disaster that was Market Garden and think the U.S. could have invaded earlier. The U.S. was under no ethical obligation to throw away lives uselessly in a German blender as a distraction.

Why would it behave differently with 16:9 and 4:3 videos?

I only have an older iPhone with a 16:9 ratio, so I can't test what happens with 16:9 material.

But if I do the double-tap you describe on 4:3 material, it will zoom-in and crop the top and bottom.

But that's not the default behaviour in my case. I actually didn't even know about the double-tap thing.
Yes, Apple Configurator can be used to install IMAP accounts, including password.

Thanks for the suggestion. I watched the talk and found some new information, as well as confirmation of some things I had been starting to adopt. I don't find the stdlib very informative about my problem, since most stdlib packages are "leaf nodes" - not layers that call out to lower layers. I'll check out more of Hashicorp's tests as I suspect their code might be more similar to the kind of code I work on. From a quick glance, in all of Consul I see only a handful of Mockery mocks, suggesting they are doing something very differently.
Does this support pipes? It's not clear to me what runs in the same process and what forks a new one. Is there a way to run some shell code in a sub-process (parentheses in conventional shell)? Asynchronously (& in conventional shell)?
