Ever since I graduated I have worked in technology, SAAS (B2B) specifically I am 27 year old- Male, SAAS (B2B) specifically. I just accepted an offer to leave one of the hottest companies in the Bay (Went from 400 mil (2.5 Years ago, when I started) to 6 Billion today), I work in sales and have now been a part of 3 unicorns in the last 5 years. (All of them I started as an employee when they were small, 1 is worth 1.3B another worth 8B)

Here is Why I believe this trend is likely to continue and why:

Economic climate: the money being ploughed into tech startups and co's has not only grown but grown by 100% YoY see here: https://news.crunchbase.com/news/global-vc-funding-h1-2021-m...
-Tech companies are the predominant receipent of these VC $$$.

Mindfulness/Actualization: I would say I am satisfied with my current job but the past 18 months brought about the perfect storm, I moved from SanFran to a small town in WA with no friends or family close by- so I had a lot of time to think and introspect. Secondly, I lost ever $ I saved since I started working ($392k to be precise)... this loss, helped me understand the real value of money- what it is worth and what it isn't, having some money saved aside- will no bring you happiness but losing it- will definitely lead to a reduction in happiness.
- This leads me my hypothesis on why, this trend is happening at large and now, people introspect their lives and realized "good enough" is really not good enough- it made them yearn for more, more in some cases meant money or a higher title- like it did for me.

Emptiness Syndrome: This is my own coinage, the way I would describe this as is trying to understand the meaning of life, what is it- just getting paid enough to stay fed, to afford rent and then what? A lot of folks started to search for a meaning to their lives... See google trends on "meaning of life" and "Suicide hotline number".

These 3 powerful forces, created the perfect amalgamation for the "great resignation" - Companies with a shit ton of money, -People having time to introspect, and the Emptiness syndrome.

Ah, I don't really care about telemetry, but their amazing outlook.com SMTP service rejects mail from small senders, and there's no way to successfully appeal.

> That’s because, PM servers receive plaintext data. Then, they encrypt it. But there is no proof that plaintext is not logged.

Ah yes this is a good point. The only way to be sure is to client side end-to-end encrypt your data before you send it to any upstream mail service. E.g. using S/MIME or PGP. At this point you can then use any free mail service as you now “only” need to worry about leaked mail header meta-data.
> Google also intentionally gimped the search results to an old mobile version when using Fx

I guess this is my reminder to mention once again that using a Chrome useragent on FF mobile gets you better search results. It's one of the extensions you can download on FF for Android right now, in fact.

How often do people do AGPL + commercial licensing, I wonder?
At my Bay Area employer you definitely need to be 14 days past your second shot (in the case of a 2 dose vaccine) to be considered. Wording on the internal emails about the topic makes it pretty clear that this status is subject to the changes by health authorities. So in this particular case I can assure you that the door for infinite boosters is not only open, but it has been clearly spell out that it will be used.
Right, but it's fair to say the real pollution from bauxite comes from the production of aluminum. It's often said that aluminum is solid electricity and if the electricity used to produce it comes from coal then its production is polluting, if from clean energy then it isn't (well, at least it's minimal).
Influenza also affects endothelial cells:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4251441/

If influenza were a novel virus, there would be daily stories on all the ways it adversely affects the body, and we would be under restrictions for decades from fear of "long influenza".
Because of things like this, I'm at the point where I consider the invention of public-key encryption to be the worst thing that's ever happened to the world.

If governments had _immediately_ preemptively classified anything related to assymetric encryption—and actively enforced the classified status—as soon as the first research into it started appearing, the world would be a much better place than it is now.
So does any other virus.

Not to sound like a Covid braindamaged idiot here (from getting infected, cured, then getting a vaccine), but this kind of "news" won't help raise vaccination rates.

Either deny hospitalization to unvaccinated people, or just fucking mandate vaccination.

Just stop with the lockdowns and restrictions, just stop.

People seem fine with ~10 vaccines for babies and several vaccines throughout their lives, but not the COVID one.

Explain this idiocy.

It's absolutely fascinating that an open OS like windows (not open as opensource, but open to run every program) takes that route.

Microsoft really thinks they can compete with platforms like android or iOS, i have to say: Thank you Microsoft!! You accelerate the downfall of Windows! No one will need you in the future, Adobe on M1(Apple), Development on Linux, Gaming on Linux, Workstations Linux maybe some Apple.
Consultancy might have a boring image, but the work can be extremely varied. I was at one of the big names and got to go behind the scenes at a major theme park, spend a night with police officers on blue light calls, watch open heart surgery in person, meet a lunar astronaut and eat lunch in a tv studio watching a live broadcast.
Learning to type is easily his best suggestion here. Not just type, but touch type including the symbols. If you ever wondered why vi is modal and uses normal keys for navigation rather than cursor keys you won't wonder any more after you learn to touch type.

It doesn't require that much practise either, a month of solid practise, 30 minutes a day will get you over the hump easily.

I would recommend getting a full size keyboard for this instead of the cramped, flat garbage of a laptop. Decent keyboards can be had at charity shops for a dollar.
I assumed it was because of the major tech industry presence in the states that are conspicuously absent. Offices and datacenters, and thus lobbyists on retainer.

I admit I'm not very current on this stuff, but isn't Texas one of the few states in that list that has a sizeable number of datacenters?
too bad for disabled people and people who need an ambulance, i guess. The new ulez is about to come into effect in london and i'm pretty annoyed. Together with e10 fuel, they are just political window dressing to inconvenience taxpayers with minimal impact on the climate. Like ltz's and cycle lanes.
If a manager has more power to make decisions than the majority of the engineers involved in a product taken together, then something is wrong with the organization.
At some level I understand when people on HN get mad at FF increasing the size of the tab bar and the occasional changes they make in the UI/UX. I've never had a major problem with them - it's been at most an hour of getting used to the new style, if at all - but I am honestly astounded by people who think it's a good reason to switch to Chrome.

Yes, deny hospitalization to unvaccinated people, at least in publicly funded hospitals. This is a much fairer way to deal with it than a mandate that forces people to vaccinate under duress.

And stop worrying about the unvaccinated transmitting to the vaccinated. The risk to the vaccinated is sufficiently low that it should not be a dominating concern any way. Also, vaccination doesn't stop COVID transmission enough to create herd immunity even at near 100% coverage, so we have to resign to COVID being endemic, especially given how rapidly a single strand RNA virus mutates.

The caveat is we could potentially eliminate COVID, influenza and a host of other viral infections, if we take the reigns off the pharmaceutical industry, by eliminating FDA approval requirements for vaccines. Machine learning has made enormous paradigm shifting breakthroughs in other fields, like natural language processing and protein folding, and could very well do the same for drug discovery and testing. Drug development could potentially keep up with the viral mutation rate if it could subsist solely on faster processes, and jettison the slower FDA mandated ones.
Its hard to be truly arms length with the person who gives you the majority of your money.

I've been told to quarantine because I had COVID symptoms. From the vaccine. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ME/CFS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_fatigue_syndrome

In a way, I'm glad that Corona lifted the awareness about post-infection issues. The common knowledge usually was "you're sick for a week and then you're fine".

I don't have ME/CFS, but my body started to react weird to some harmless common cold infections. My blood pressure drops and remains low, sometimes for weeks. Makes me feel dizzy, makes working out almost impossible.

Also, I had some stomach bug several years ago with some side effects lasting for 2 months. Most people don't believe that a "harmless" infection can cause side effects for weeks (and neither did I), but it's a thing.

Podcasts are different, no JavaScript based ads or tracking, no links to keep you engaged on the site. RSS does bring value to podcasts and has been successful for podcast especially since the downsides mentioned for normal websites don’t apply to podcasts.

Podcasts basically proof the point: there’s nothing wrong with rss, and publishers will use it, if it is in their interest.
I decided a while back that if I ever developed long covid, I'd off myself. This just confirms my priors.

Not exactly true, at least from what I read elsewhere [1].

The plan is to make Paris 100% cyclaBLE.

No it doesn't. Hyperinflation means that although our BTC is worth more in USD, when we go to exchange our BTC for USD to go on that holiday, we'll need to give up more of our BTC since we need more USD to pay.

It would be much better if there is no hyperinflation. More and more people are moving parts of their money/assets into cryptocurrency. In the long run, holders like us will benefit. We all suffer when there's hyperinflation.

Disclaimer: My wife and I hold a significant amount of BTC in our child's trust fund.
The headline is misleading. It's about making Paris 100% cyclable, not getting rid of cars (as the first comments here seem to assume).
But there might be other people like her hidden somewhere. To solve it, they should rethink the way decisions are made. Allow engineers to take part in the decision process.
I sincerely suggest using vertical tabs! There's two popular FF extensions for it, the original Tree Style Tab [1] and Sidebery [2]. Most widescreen displays are far wider than web content these days, so you don't lose any horizontal space by switching to vertical tabs, and you gain the ability to actually read the text + organize them by hierarchy.

Why do the vaccinated accept this? Honest question, because I imagined the breaking point for vaccinated folks to be before there's literally zero space for their medical emergencies due to folks who made a different choice.

I mean, you don't want anyone left behind. But if you're forced to leave someone behind, the question becomes "who?". If you have one emergency bed and in comes a drunk driver from an accident, shortly followed by the pregnant woman he ran over, I'm not a big fan of "first come, first served".

If and when doctors are forced into heinous choices, I'd think such considerations should play a role - for society allocating scarce resources, at the very least.

> Whenever you know in advance

Knowing things in advance is not a cheap trick. I’m not talking about a well structured boot. I’m talking about the far more common approach of just showing a moving mouse pointer and a few icons and “pretending” the computer is ready to use, a notion that is quickly disabused as soon as you try to get to work. Then even, you will her no way to know when it “is” actually ready.

> the allegations that Joe Biden pressured Ukraine to fire the prosecutor investigating the company that was paying Hunter for his "services"

The fact checking suggests an entirely different interpretation - https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/10/21/fact...

Not least that everyone wanted Shokin out. And this is before you get to Shokin investigating Burisma re: the years 2010-12; i.e. before Hunter Biden even joined the company. Also Shokin's Burisma probe was in 2014; the international pressure to oust Shokin was in 2016.

It all just falls apart under the barest fact check. C'mon.
I believe that's not the price for the physical box but rather "a container's worth of shipping". Empty containers are probably going up in price a lot now too - I don't really see why Ryan thinks there needs to be military intervention here. A shortage of empties in China and a surplus in the USA will get resolved real quick by people on the ground (=within the latencies afforded by the slow speed of ships themselves) as there's money to be made there.
Intellectual property doesn't exist. Copyrights exist, patents exist, trademarks exist. But they are all different and none of them are the same as property. It’s just a propaganda term by people who want you to think they are.

Hey Sergei, are you Keyboard Ninja?

This will be off topic, but can you list your software that you use to make everything keyboard friendly?

What's wrong with engaging with someone who has concerns how the site is run?

And I have never really seen any indication of excessive "moderation and preference for YC-positive narrative". It should be unsurprising that his personal views are positive towards YC, but I see no problem with that as I have seen many people freely criticize YC, Paul Graham, and dang without being moderated away or kicked off the site (indeed, that is happening right here and now!)
Marc Van Ranst – Communication and public engagement (in a pandemic)
Hi Daniel. Sorry but I do not quite understand your point. It seems like you are censoring my statement «Here it is not about how you feel: it is about whether you make sense», and you found it cringeful - it even seems like you state you are glad "my position represents a minority". I am also interested in your "sensitivity", also (not just in terms of sheer human relation) because I do not quite understand what "touches" you in that direction.

I have not yet managed to read (all) pg's interventions. I just read though that according to him "down arrows [can be used to] express agreement". As I tried to observe formerly, though, this contrasts with the direction of "reasoning". If one just "felt" disagreement, but cannot justify it (or will not out of laziness), there will be no progress, no discussion, no quality. The guidelines, I a pretty sure, specify to warn against cheapness, and there is very little cheaper than one's statement "I disagree [end of statement]". What are we debating for if disagreement is not rationalized? I was pretty sure we are meant to be reasoning here, not to do some expressive "performance art". (Note: which I do myself, as an aside luxury, always taking care though that the intellectual structure it accompanies appears solid. Never alone, never without the important bits attached.)

What I tried to express in fact to the user that seems obsessed about the idea that some "feel special", in my last intervention, is that "expression of "feeling" will be consistent with this apparent framework when it will be expressed within a rational framework, which will allow it to be managed within a discussion". Without that, it will not be "information exchange, insight and debate": it will be noise. The very fact that on average we restrain ourselves from joking, to try to keep density high, is indicative.

The quality of debates here are completely different from what you can find elsewhere: as mentioned, for example, YT and Reddit - where noise and low quality are abysmally huge. What is the filter that causes that increase, if not that using the "head" is promoted here instead of lower bits? (It was a rhetoric formula: I am sure it is that.) To quote Daniel G. (read somewhere else), "We are just trying to build a [cannot remember term] that does not suck". It is the direction of consistency with "intellectual curiosity" which is granting that.
Even though the damage is potentially reversible? If you have such a hair trigger for suicide, have you considered it might be caused by mental illness?
I agree, so long as we’re not expecting doctors to do triage, which I believe they generally don’t. Triage is generally don’t by specially trained nurses, as I understand it.
Nobody has to "make" anyone do anything in that situation. It's a classic supply/demand imbalance. Governments can't do anything here - even just getting them to pay attention to their own zoning rules required some random CEO in a boat talking to local workers then posting on Twitter. They aren't in a position to do anything better than the workers themselves can do.
Cannot agree with this enough. All the dumb keyboard layout cargo culting aside, this is why I recommend people learn Dvorak. It has been hugely successful for everyone I’ve gotten to make the transition.
Console manufacturers have often lost their case whenever game studios took them to caught over this though. Hence EA and Codemasters not using standard Megadrive / Genesis carts. So there is at least some hope that there is precedence in favour of independent publishers.
But they sign malware? Strange.
Many people only use Windows because the software they have don't have a Linux build. Maybe people should start pressuring vendors to make Linux builds and that could end Windows.
They just moved the slider further left IMO.

Further centralization, control and censorship.
> With MIT, BSD, you put in the attribution and call it a day.

Meanwhile many project just copy paste MIT and BSD code and just "forget" the attribution.
