I agree with Mother Theresa on abortion, contraception and divorce, so I don't see why that's off-putting. Abortion, contraception and divorce increase the net suffering in the world (especially divorce should be obvious to everyone).

> caring for the sick by glorifying their suffering instead of relieving it

Not all suffering is fixable. For many, this fact of life leads to depression and despair, Catholics have other views on it. Namely, that while suffering sucks, it has redemptive qualities.

Look... I know all suffering is not fixable. When your child dies, there's nothing you can do about it. It sucks. You can choose to hate life, despair, and wallow in self pity (which I've had ample amounts of), or you can choose to go with whatever it is has happened to you. I eventually chose the later, with the guidance of religion, and it is a much better path.

But this is good to know. I was considering swapping another newspaper subscription for a Globe and Mail subscription, but after looking into it, the eventual unsubscribe hassle isn't worth it.

> X stars on Github

If the runtime gets embedded in other pieces of software, the impact is a lot more than X stars on Github. You'd need to recursively count all the dependent repos. (Ignoring the fact that you can’t simply measure impact by counting stars).

Kudos to building awesome software and good luck finding your next gig!
“There aren’t any good consoles really. Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo aren’t good console manufacturers when their consoles only know how to talk to other PlayStation/Xbox/Nintendo services and actively prevent compatibility with other systems.”

To be fair that point did improve in the last few years. In the past, cross-platform online play wasn't even a thing.

They're opening up because they're competing against eachothers, while Apple is doing whatever it can to avoid open standards with their devices. Unless the standard itself is too big to avoid and not adopting it would put them at a disadvantage.
Their proposed solution (as I understood it) is to reform Section 230 to make platforms liable for illegal content that gets promoted/amplified -- and that doing this would make the algorithmic news feed too much of a legal liability.

I get that the desired result is that Facebook reigns in its algorithmic ranking, but the actual result will probably be lengthy debates over what constitutes illegal posts, small fines that Facebook can afford to pay, and algorithmic censorship with a disgusting number of false positives.

Would love to be corrected if I read that proposed change incorrectly.
That's definitely true re: all consuming. It literally became my mom's entire purpose, and from the moment she woke up to the moment she went to bed she was working to get her daughter to talk.
To limit competition.

> If Apple will allow third-party app stores or direct installation of applications on devices, dictatorships will lose this capability to harm Apple's customers.

As someone who switched from the Samsung note line to iPhone, the only freedom I felt from the ability to install other apps was the freedom to deal with all the unrecoverable crap ware.

There’s other phones out there with greater freedom than the iPhone, people are aware of them, and are still choosing the iPhone.

The curation is a benefit in that I have a corporation with thousands of employees working to prevent the other corporations from making my user experience worse. If the curation goes away I’d probably switch to a cheaper phone next upgrade and I’m sure apples aware of that
I agree, thanks for the clarification. I shouldn’t have been as brutal in my initial portrayal.
Yes, and the electricity trade may contribute to higher prices for local consumers.

That is not realistic. Do I really need to elaborate?
> In a 2017 Pew Research Center survey, 71% of U.S. adults said being able to support a family financially is very important for a man to be a good spouse or partner.

Sad to see this harmful stereotype still being perpetuated. Men need to be empowered to be stay-at-home spouses. Being a dad is a fulltime job.
I have a carefully curated list of subs on Reddit that are well moderated and informative. There just isn't an easy way to do that with Facebook or Twitter. Both of those platforms will show me "related" content I don't want to see.

Reddit might do that with their app (I don't use it so I don't know) but with a third party client or the old website I can pretty effectively avoid trolls and nonsense.

It's a controversial topic but I personally think the downvote makes a huge difference in my experience on social media. You see it here on HN as well.
This is what I thought of as well. Maybe just an engineer was hacked.
Put a slave next to it, that's not the point. AFAIK this is what stackoverflow still does and it works for them. Why not for notion?
In general the broad access was to code repos early on. Some were gated. There’s lots of collaboration and the need to study other code bases for learning and collaboration, read only. It’s micro services galore there so one didn’t tend to have access to production databases for services or systems you didn’t work on. You were opted in there. Teams did their own devops for the most part.

The payout data likely wasn’t ripped from a DB but rather dashboards which customer service or partnerships likely had access to. Tier1 or Tier2 support kinda stuff.

This smells like a stolen backup or maybe network access and http scanning, finding the internal GitHub and maybe a support admin cred that allowed dashboard view.
> Every time I see one of these 'how to make friends and influence people' sort of lists, I can't help but fear for the young people who will take them as gospel and act like a robot, moving through them as a checklist.

Not a "young person" anymore, but with all of the recent isolation, I think this will be helpful for me and presumably others who are reemerging into society and hoping to find people to spend time with.

Thanks for the tip though...must remember it's not a checklist!
Okay, sorry, you're bringing in firing, but I'm talking about baking cakes as an individual proprietor of a business. If the claim is 'being conservative is not a proteted class'... okay, but religion certainly is, and my religion is more conservative than mainstream conservatism, yet I've still been subjected to facebook censorship. So, can I claim Facebook must let me post content, just like Phillips must bake a cake, because of my protected class status, religion?

If not, why not? If so, why? If the answer is not 'Yes facebook must publish', how do you square this away that the answer is 'Yes you must bake'.?
> Ideally that would be useless because things are properly salted and you don't know the salt

I'm really curious where people get their ideas about salting. It's not just a word. It doesn't make one password any more difficult to crack. It makes cracking every password in a given database more difficult to do. A password's salt is public information.

Of course. But people's level of apprehension is quite out of whack with the actual risk sometimes. I'd guess some people spend far worrying about safe neighbourhoods and being stabbed vs. their diet and impending heart disease.
Based on what I read of the ops code… don’t give them too much credit.

This desktop dashboard with three analog panel meters is gorgeous:

A new version that uses WiFi instead of a defunct paging network would be nice.

Plans to mod original ones so the meters could be driven by a micro-controller or Raspberry Pi would be cool.

I'm always surprised that more people arent aware of CDK. Its an extremely powerful way to write software. Especially once you get good at it. CFN pales in comparison, CDK to me feels like the future of software development.
This one is interesting because many applications argue they have user behavior tracking (by a third party as a service) for this purpose

The 3% difference in partner/unpartner rates of men vs women is entirely accounted for by the 4% difference in being institutionalized (e.g. in prison). Really these types of studies should control for this.

> I don’t think our society is setup for singles, particularly singles as the majority. And we are getting pretty close. These findings are really interesting.

Social reproduction is the primary requirement to have a society in the first place, and adult singles don't participate in social reproduction at anywhere near the rates of married couples.

This is something that the society has to discourage in order to remain viable. Historically those who can't or won't participate in that process have taken on service roles that promote social reproduction, for example with nuns teaching schools, or priests reproducing the faith. People like this, together with widows, are really the only singles that are accepted by societies that survive across time, the others being subject to some social disapproval.

If you lose that drive to survive and perpetuate your society, which all western liberal societies have, then it's just a question of making people more comfortable as the entire society shuffles off the game board. We are truly a Ship of Fools.
The fact that a compiler is allowed/encouraged to silently remove whole sections of code because of some obscure factoid is an amazing source of footguns.

At least the warnings are getting a bit better for some of these.
How do you know they are being disingenuous rather than just ignorant / incorrect?
> Managed services offer big benefits over software. With CF, new stacks, change sets, updates, rollbacks and drift detection are an API call away.
>
> Managed service providers offer big benefits over software. With CF and AWS support, help with problems are a support ticket away.

The problem is when those help tickets get responses like “try deleting everything by hand and see if it recreates without an error next time”. They've worked on CloudFormation over the last year or but everyone I've known who's switched to tools like Terraform did so after getting tired of unpredictable deployment times or hitting the many cases where CloudFormation gets itself into an irrecoverable state. I can count on no fingers the number of development teams who used CF and didn't ask for help recovering from an error state in CF which required out-of-band remediation.

I believe they've also gotten better at tracking new AWS features but there were multiple cases where using Terraform got you the ability to use a feature 6+ months ahead of CF.

> A portable Terraform + Kubernetes contraption is a lowest common denominator approach.

Terraform is much, much richer than CloudFormation so I'd compare it to CDK (with the usual aesthetic debate over declarative vs. procedural models) and it doesn't really make sense to call it LCD in the same way that you might use that to describe Kubernetes because it's not trying to build an abstraction which covers up the underlying platform details. Most of the Terraform I've written controls AWS but there's a significant value to also being able to use the same tool to control GCP, GitLab, Cloudflare, Docker, various enterprise tools, etc. with full access to native functionality.
> What's wrong with looking at public code? The code is public, regardless of how it became public

Copyright would disagree with you, and I would say that ethically it is basically the same as stealing it yourself. You're profiting off of someone else having done the dirty work for you.

> this isn't someone's personal life being exposed.

Apparently a lot of payment information, telephone numbers, etc. was also in the leak. I don't think we should downloading or encouraging people to download and peruse that stuff.

If the platform is controlling what you see or interact with based on opaque algorithms does that really still qualify as free speech?

> If the performance of hash lookups matters, Python is the wrong language for you.

Announcement to Python programmers: “Don’t bother trying to improve the performance of your Python code! If performance matters, just completely rewrite your code in a different language!”

I don’t know how to respond to that, except to disagree with the underlying assumptions that (1) there is a “right language”, (2) if performance matters, Python is not a suitable language, or (3) people are generally in a position to choose which language a project is written in.

Even if performance matters, it is not the only thing that matters. When you choose a language, there are necessarily tradeoffs... everything from the skillset of your team, to the ecosystem of libraries available affects that decision. Finally, there are projects already written in Python.
Something like this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancake_sorting
I think it's about time to abandon C language entirely.

No, it doesn't. You could reuse uwv&6qu_brusb618_$@618jg everywhere and it wouldn't get cracked. If the plaintext password leaked, then you'd be in more trouble.

What matters is whether your password is easy to guess, not whether you've reused it. If you have all unique passwords, they can still all be trivial to crack.

That's absurd. There is no scientific basis that would support your assertion. In fact, increased social media activity leads to a higher chance of suffering from depressive episodes. Meditation has been shown to to actually combat symptoms of depression.

If you can't sit still with your own thoughts for 60 seconds without spiraling, then you shouldn't even be remotely near social media.
It sounds like you’d like to work at Apple and help them improve their guidelines process. They don’t offer what-if examples, and they note that it’s by design that the guidelines are not detailed to the level you’re asking, so that they have the flexibility to make judgment calls and prevent rules-lawyering problems that crop up with the more detailed approach you seek.

1. Auth tenant. Common sense says that if the auth provider is operated by you, it’s your problem to handle deletions appropriately, either by removing their account or by warning the user that you’re only deleting the specific site account and providing a link to delete the SSO account at your website or whatever. If you do not operate the identity provider, such as Facebook, then you need do nothing about it at deletion time. Apple would likely approve any of those paths without comment, but to defend against rules lawyering and loophole seeking, there’s no way to be perfectly certain until it’s approved.

2. Banking or healthcare app. If you can sign up in-app, you’ll need to let people close/delete in-app, except where prohibited by contract or law. For corporate healthcare, you would pop a dialog that says “This account can only be closed through your employer”, which would be absolutely sufficient. Ditto for a banking account with non-zero balances or a safety deposit box or whatever. It seems likely Apple will not have cause to enforce the deletion clause against brick and mortar banks, since they all have help/faqs on how to close accounts already. App-only banks will be held to the more strict standard of having some way to initiate deletion, being app-only, though of course they’ll retain financial audit records as required by law.

3. Deleted means that all information not essential to compliance with financial and other auditing laws has been removed from your systems. Exceptions are understood to exist for recording that someone requested deletion, but you can’t use those records for marketing or training AI or any other purpose beyond managing your deletions. If you can’t explain in plain simple English how you handle deletions, they’re likely to reject your submission until you can.

All of this is obvious. It isn’t comfortable to consider that you’re at the mercy of human beings to evaluate your compliance — human beings that see a thousand scams a minute trying to hack loopholes in the guidelines. But that’s how it is today.

Walmart profits from their store and sets the rules from their store. The incentive is to make the store a place people want to spend money. This is the same as almost any other store isn't it?

You do that by making it safe and comfortable for users (or in androids case maybe by doing deals with phone companies to pre-load their apps and make money off users there ).

Apple is only partly successful, they have 15% market share in phones or so. But one area they've been good at is trust - users on an iphone probably spend a lot more (it's also harder to pirate, so what developers give up in profits they make back in lack of pirating).

How is this supposed to work for insurance or banking apps? I would think those companies separate your "online account" from your actual account with them or something like that. I guess more generally how will this affect apps where "deleting your account" is a complicated affair (insurance, banking, mobile service, utilities, etc).

Because societies where the bride’s parents have to pay a dowry invariably lead to female infanticide, as in India, not that China doesn’t have that problem, but it was caused by the one-child policy and families not wanting the family name to die out.
Are you saying that people on teamblind are only focusing on the TC aspect, and also care about many other things, or that only a subset of people only care about TC? If the latter, it’s still worrisome that so many of those people who hop around chasing only TC and not caring about subject matter, are highly valued at these companies like Facebook. Glib and shallow E6 and E7 don’t make for great tech leadership in a company that supposedly cares about ethics and safety.
