>> You'd also be amazed at how long it takes to sign a contract

> I would not ;)

Ha, yeah, that was unclear. My comment was targeted more towards the general HN audience, because _I_ was pretty amazed when I got into that business. "Wait, so you've built the integration, you've built the metrics, you've run A/B tests at various levels for months and months that show beyond a shadow of a doubt that you'll make more money, and you don't want to sign...why?"

>> less eng-focused companies that would pay

> Actually, our experience has been the opposite. The more sophisticated the engineering team, the more they recognize how big of a pain unified search ranking is to build and maintain, and the more they appreciate what we offer.

I see now from the other comments that you're targeting a higher point in the market than I originally thought. Still somewhat surprised that companies at that level would buy rather than build, but I suppose my view of the space is biased since I was only working at places that would want to build that in-house.

> our approach is to include all existing models as features into an omni-model

Makes sense to me if you're trying to be a generalized solution. I assume there's no crossover between any of your customers and you have to build a unique model for each of them?
Similar nit pick… Not sure if this is fixed in Monterey, but in Catalina the maps app is so close to being amazing. When you search, it shows suggestions but hitting tab defocuses the search and closes the suggestions!! It should select the next suggestion.
I was in love with Go when i was younger, i have even created an AI that played using some rules, not an algorithm.

But when i created again the same game with AlphaBeta algorithm, i just quit the game. No matter how good you are the computer can predict all the moves, and win you no matter how good you become.

You are right, Tesla makes good cars. The rub is pretty much about carelessness on part of Tesla in safety design.

I specifically linked the video because they are even handed in their reviews and not one of those who put down cars just because they don't like the CEO.
Hey — this may be weird, but I think I may have joined the same company, though I'm with the Canadian branch.

Or at least the culture and technology sounds exactly identical.

Also looking for my own way out, but feel like I need to stick it out ~1yr just so it's not hard to explain on my resume.

I feel like leaving early will be extra hard because it'll be hard to explain why without sounding like a know-it-all or whiner.

How do you say "I left because they were doing everything wrong" politely.

For now I'm just saving snippets for the badcode subreddit, and trying to find projects that are interesting and/or will look good on my resume.

With everything being such a shitshow I have a lot of latitude to make my own work.
The Biggest Lie in Keto Strong Pills
As we may all know, the ketogenic diet has been generally welcomed by the overall population. However there are different sides to this story, our concentration for the reasons for KETO Strong includes a metabolic state called ketosis. At the
point when the body is denied of sugars, it needs to sort out an elective hotspot for fuel. All in all, what may be the nearest to carbs and the macronutrient's coming about result, glucose?

Interesting. The option to go on a PIP or leave the company for pseudo-severance is something I had heard of before, but a month sounds short.

> speaking out in even the most diplomatic way leads you to being aggressively silenced for not endorsing whatever the Sacred Infallible Truth may be in the time period that you live in

Wow, that's pretty apocalyptic. I can say pretty much whatever I want with little repercussion. I see people say pretty much whatever they want.

But the parent is the Sacred Infallible Truth: You'll notice it's repeated more than any other political position despite the rhetoric of rebellion.

> Sacred Infallible Truth

Are we mocking the idea of all truth and falsehood? Good and evil? Free choice and consequences? Should everyone just say whatever, without thinking of the consequences of their actions, and everyone else just ignore them? Why speak?

I've always thought this is due to the fact that baseball has an extremely high skill ceiling, but great overall physical fitness isn't necessary to be good. There aren't really any around anymore, but look at knuckle ballers like Tim Wakefield, his main pitch he only threw like 60mph and just had perfected this really bizarre skill and was relevant. Also so much of it is mental, which is true in any professional sport, but baseball in particular because you have these intense 1-1 mental battles between the pitcher and the batter, or the pitcher and base runner. If you ever read Tony Gwynn write about what goes through his head when he'd steal home base, it's a mental game of chess he's playing with the pitcher and catcher.
prctl is responsible for setting certain privileged CPU registers on certain platforms. I can imagine some benefit of having the values already loaded into registers for such a brief call instead of having to go out to user-controlled memory (which needs to be accessed carefully within the kernel).

It’s also worth noting that most older Linux system calls do not follow that pattern in general, so I don’t know that I would consider void* idiomatic for system calls until recently.

It is the same with undergraduate study. In countries such as the UK or Australia, the majority of Bachelor's degrees take only 3 years, versus a standard 4 year minimum for the US. I get the impression that a lot of US-based hiring managers don't know about this, but even if they do, nobody really seems to care much anyway. Unless it is your very first job after university, what you did as an undergraduate rarely has much significance.

While I would agree that the government is strongly incentivized to try and regulate crypto I think its hard to argue that stablecoins aren't ticking time bombs. Most of them clearly don't have the assests to back up their market caps and with 138 billion USD in market cap [1] they would certainly cause a crash of at least cryptocurrency if they became worthless.

Old lady's conviction upheld by Cologne Regional Court
October 25, 2021 by Beata Hubrig

In a remarkable judgement of 23.9.21, the Regional Court of Cologne confirmed the conviction of an almost eighty-year-old lady as a file sharer to 2000 € compensation by means of a daring judicial addition of facts to the Telemedia Act. Thus, the liability privilege in the Telemedia Act, which was specifically affirmed as a protection for honorary freifunkers, is invalid; the legislator has obviously overestimated the ailing saved functionality of its courts.

In the meantime, the defense of connection owners against the accusation of having committed a copyright infringement by means of file sharing is hopeless in German courts until the connection owner identifies the perpetrator and informs the rights exploiters of his or her name and address.

In place of the "Stoererhaftung" (Breach of Duty of Care), the owner of the connection is obliged to provide information about user behavior that is relevant to the threat. Judges draw this cumbersome construction from Section 138 (2) of the German Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO), the secondary burden of disclosure. A secondary burden of proof is imposed on those who wish to defend themselves against unjustified claims for damages. The prerequisite for this, however, is not only that the rights exploiters have no closer knowledge of the perpetrator, nor can they obtain this knowledge, and are therefore allowed to name anyone as the perpetrator.

The prerequisites of the secondary burden of proof normally also include that the owner of the connection has knowledge of the perpetrator and that he or she can reasonably be expected to provide more detailed information. However, this part is not examined by the judges. Judges are silent about the important question of whether knowledge of the perpetrator is available at all and whether it is reasonable to expect the data to be handed over.

This raises a fundamentally relevant question: How does the owner of the connection obtain knowledge of the perpetrator of the copyright infringement? Does she really have more knowledge about the copyright infringement?

Your bet is based on falsehoods, so it's quite fortunate you don't make these decisions for all of us. I'll take the other side of the bet any day.
It depends what you want to do and what you're good at.

For example, if you're good in the academy thing and manage to get papers into top tier companies you will finish your PhD faster if you won't take breaks in the industry. If your PhD is on desrible topic (e.g., ML) there are plenty of academy and industry jobs waiting for you, regardless of your work experience.
> Their pay is not at all connected in any way what so ever.

This is so false that I have trouble believing you are serious. All pay comes from a fixed source, "income", and the CEO/board is largely who determines how the CEO and workers split up the money.
I wouldn't mind hearing about their approach to handling weather also as it kind of looks like SoCal which closely matches the climate I live in.

Though I was mostly talking about customer service part and development relations in terms of that.

Google regularly bans developers for absurd reasons or no reasons at all, doesn't let them talk to any humans until the developer causes enough twitter storm and gets some tech sites to write about it to get some attention from Google. Apple at least lets the dev talk to human beings.

All of these issues can be overcome by upgrades and borrowing ideas and proven tech from other coins or just by moving to those coins if needed. I think it would be orders of magnitude easier to decarbonize bitcoin than it would be the petrol dollar backed by the thirsty U.S. Military machine.
The narcissistic part comes when people boast on Twitter how they are doing their supreme civic duty by taking the vaccine, not like those disgusting filthy diseased barely human individuals that choose a different path. Take the vaccine for whatever reason you may, but there are very little reasons to publicly announce your superiority to others just because you did. Sadly, the vaccine doesn't do much to prevent infection, especially after a few months.

In a country (and world) where racism has caused generations of horrors and white supremacy is resurgent, it's incredible to see how much effort is spent - almost all of it in forums like HN - on attacking antiracists. One book 'offered' in one state (if it was offered - what does that mean? do you have evidence?) is nothing compared to vast abuses of racism.

What are you doing about racism? As many African-Americans predicted to me, if you complain about it then people really attack you.

>Not least of which is that no one calls "natural" immunity psuedoscience—it's how the vaccine works.

I’m sure that’s how it was intended to work but the term you’re looking for is artificial immunity or vaccine derived immunity. Unfortunately the vaccines don’t confer immunity so there goes that.

>What happens when we reach a critical mass of health workers quitting?

For not consenting to a vaccination mandate? We’re all about to find out. Can you imagine working on the front lines for over a year to suddenly be discarded like a piece of trash because you won’t take a vaccine (when you are almost certainly already immune)?

>The transmission argument similarly falls short given that the vaccine reduces the odds of you becoming a vector in the first place, or progressing to the point you require state intervention to survive

Speaking of disingenuous... I’m not sure why people gloss over the fact that the vaccines don’t prevent transmission. Why fumble over word games instead of acknowledging the simple fact that you don’t get immunity from the vaccine.

Now follow that train of thought to it’s logical end. Universal forced vaccination of everyone on Earth with passports to boot and the outbreaks still continue.

Well hey at least we have this neato “world ID” (vaccine passport) which couldn’t possibly be used for nefarious means.
"As to bringing the Overrides to the main browser interface and not only to developer tools, I'd love to do some more research on that."

To a curious user who is not a "developer", "Developer Tools" is just more browser options. What tech companies want to everyone to forget is that any person who has no interest in working as a "developer" for a "tech" company can use the exact same software including all of its features as so-called "developers". Whether they choose to do that is their business and their choice, not the tech company's. I know this topic has come up before on HN, many years ago, that using names like "Developer Tools" just drives people away who are not interested in being labeled "developers". Even "Web Development Tools" would be better.

Chromebooks, where the browser is supposed to be seen as the OS (even though it isn't), are another example. There is an artificial classification of people into the categories "user" or "developer" (no such thing as "power users" or anyone who would care to understand how the computer works but not care to invade people's privacy for money). "Developer mode"? Seriously? Making a computer with storage space deliberately scant enough that the buyer is compelled to use "cloud storage", so the tech company can collect more data. Meanwhile "smartphones", a much smaller form factor, sold by the same company have over 10x the storage. Shameful and manipulative.

By operating under the artificial distinction of "developer" vs. "user", then all the stuff that users really should know about, but that the tech company hopes they won't know about, can be communicated under the assumption that the only people who would read it are "developers". Thus, zero effort needs to be made to try to tell "users" how this stuff really works. This arguably makes for more naive, carefree users and makes it easier for the tech company to collect data and serve advertising. And we know that is not what "users" prefer.

"That said, I have seen far too many people and companies resorting to browser extensions where a snippet or override would do the trick."

Right. Extensions, unless self-authored, usually require surrendering control to third parties. Tech companies like that. It is common on HN to see some extension author telling us how many inquiries they get from people looking to (secretly) buy their extensions as a means to get access to access to (unknowing) users. Using extensions, it is less likely that a user will learn anything whereas they would definitely learn from writing snippets and editing their own copies of others' scripts to use as overrides.

Wouldn't that trade be a taxable event in many countries?
When companies generate cash flow from profits, three major things they do with that cash are 1) pay dividends, 2) stock buybacks, 3) reinvest in the company. Shareholder's prefer the company to engage in number 3 if the company can reinvest with high ROI. If they pay the shareholders a dividend, and the shareholder can only invest that at 10%, it's ok but not as good as if the company thinks it can invest and do better.

The "plan" with these growth companies is to reinvest in themselves and keep growing as big as possible until the cost to grow is too much, or the ROI from growing is less than is generally available elsewhere. Only then will they pay dividends or do stock buybacks (which are functionally equivilant, but with favorable tax ramifications). The "plan" is that you hold for 10 or 20 years or more and then get your dividends then. Or sell at a profit sooner, because the stock will be worth more because it will be closer to that future pay day.

You can expect unprofitable companies to give you money in the future if you believe in their business plan and believe that they can execute.
iframes are a great tool while transitioning between platforms. I've used them to transition to new frontends without requiring a rewrite of 100% of the components.
