Of course the fault lies with the person who posted the images online. That person also violated state and federal laws. There is no doubt about that.

However, most people wouldn't knowingly leave nude images of their spouse on the car's back seat when getting the car serviced. In many ways this is similar.

Edit: For people who think I'm blaming the victim, I am not. I thought that was clear, since I blamed the thief/poster of the photos! This is in many ways similar to leaving photos in a car. That is not to say that the person with the phone is at fault, but that this also happens in many other cases. If this happened to me (which it has), I'd do something else instead of sending my phone for repair by an unknown person.
Apparently it's some sort of printer spambot: https://twitter.com/4b4c41/status/1465506217778941955
Rightly or wrongly, quite a few people seem to have gotten a bad "Wikipedia is zealous about deleting stuff to [vague emotional speculation] save disk space" vibe. Putting a more-accurate label on the situation would not help their displeasure.

Editorial-resource-wise, there is a huge difference between:

- "a decent general editor can glance over this article long enough to label it as [1] plausibly legit, [2] obvious drunken rambling, [3] some kid's knock-knock joke collection, [4] ax-grinding extremism, [5] etc."

and

- "a subject-matter-expert editor can determine whether this Korean-language article about Roman legal practices in (the Roman province of) Hispania Baetica under Emperor Caracalla (198-217) is passably correct and current".

I am not a studious follower of things Wiki, but quite a few people seem to feel that Wikipedia is really not handling the situation well at all.
Evola isn't a suspected antisemite, though, and calling someone an "apologist" probably doesn't fly on Wikipedia under https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Word....
I used to work for a company that gamed Google like this, but with product search results (that were, themselves, CPC ads). The company got bought for scrap because Google got good at downranking their pages in search results and finally taking shopping seriously.

A lot has changed since then, but I doubt that Google has decided these kinds of content farms are suddenly OK. It should also give pause to people asking for "open ranking algorithms." Without some amount of secrecy, content farms will pop up for literally every keyword they can sell ads against, and they'll know how to rank more often rather than just blindly guessing.
To be fair, when sending a Pixel for reparations, Google very clearly and explicitly asks to factory_reset the phone.

I personally didn't reset it when I sent my Pixel 3 to fix the charging port because my Pixel was fully encrypted.

All Pixels are encrypted by default as long as you have any kind of lock method enabled (PIN, password, shape...).

I don't really understand how this person got his files in cleartext and accessible.

When I think of postgrest, supabase and other tools that allows you skip the backend completely and go straight to the DB; is how do you handle business logic that doesn't make sense to have in either the frontend or the DB ?
Indeed, we are behind on releases. We do anticipate a major release, including 4.19 kernel support, in the coming months.

Part of our challenge is that we are also exploring non-standard extensions to the VFS API - largely supported by kallsyms + copied code to avoid kernel modifications. This makes rolling forward more labor intensive, but we are working to pay down this technical debt over time, or possibly make a broader case for a VFS API change.
SEEKING WORK | Remote only, based in Germany

I do electronics, end to end (design from idea, part selection, layout, prototyping, testing, enclosure design). Lately I've been working mainly on adapting existing designs to the new reality of part shortages. If you have a device that you can't produce at the moment due to part shortages I might be able to help you redesign it for the current availability situation. Of course I'm also more than happy to help with new devices. Contact at kliment@0xfb.com or Kliment on liberachat.

Recent example of this kind of adaptation: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/arthurwolf/smoothieboar...

I won't work on weapons, advertising, cryptocurrencies or automotive (for motivation on the latter, see my analysis on the reason for the component crisis here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26931498 ). This is non-negotiable, don't bother asking for exceptions.
It's also okay to just do the problems without the competitive aspect. I love competitions and all, but sure as hell I'm not waking up at 5AM for an entire month in the pursuit of internet points.

Plasmic | Founding Developer Advocate | Remote | Full Time

View full posting on our site (HN limits comment length): https://www.plasmic.app/careers/founding-developer-advocate

Plasmic is a visual builder that plugs into React and other codebases. We aim to lower the barriers for anyone to create software, but our initial wedge is the headless content management market.

We are an early-stage startup with a tiny but wonderful distributed team of 10 from Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Dropbox, MIT, Berkeley, including 3 ex-founders with exits and 4 ICPC world finalists. We are well-funded by NEA and investors in Figma/Framer.

We are looking for a Founding Developer Advocate to help us grow a community of developers, especially in the React, headless commerce, and Jamstack spheres.

This is a critically important leadership role for our company, as the majority of the team is now shifting focus onto growth.

Responsibilities include:

∙ Authoring and launching high-quality content and educational resources that are truly interesting or valuable to our communities (not about Plasmic).

∙ Participating in existing React/web development communities and open-source projects, and building relationships there.

∙ Creating example projects, documentation, and screencasts to showcase what you can create with Plasmic and its tools/API.

∙ Owning our general online presence and driving engagement on venues like Twitter and GitHub.

∙ Potentially creating and launching our own open-source projects.

∙ Speaking at conferences.

∙ Work closely with the founding team to define the overarching growth strategy. You'll be telling us what the above list should look like!

We are prepared to invest heavily in this role. Compensation includes competitive cash salary and generous equity.

If this sounds interesting, please get in touch at hiring+hn@plasmic.app. We would love to meet you!
Android has exactly this feature, two in fact: "Safe Folder" for regular files and "Locked Folder" for photos specifically.
I seem to recall reading that they (used to?) track abandonment of the search results page as a successful answer to your question from the embedded page snippets or info boxes. So if you get a search result page that's complete garbage and just give up, they increase the ranking of those sites.

Why would a current company need to be a reference? The fact of your continuing employment should be sufficient. I never use my current employer as a reference and never give notice till the background check fully clears.
If only there was a spec that implements a web SQL database... Oh wait, Mozilla didn't want to make the web more powerful so they refused to even consider it with dubious excuses.... And no, there was absolutely no need to specify SQL in the spec, only how to query the database.

What do you think is easier to code? A sql builder capable of supporting different SQL dialects, or an entire SQL database? So we are stuck with this horrid indexedDB API...

This, the refusal to even consider the File System API, HTML imports and many others things are reasons I stopped supporting and recommending Mozilla and Firefox as a developer.

I can vouch this is a terrible process. Unless you interview ONLY at Google, you almost always won't work there. When you are actively looking, you usually want all your interviews to be close to each other (within weeks) to evaluate offers and make the best decision.

It's extremely unhelpful if one company is still in the "screening" phase because they take months to progress, while others are already extending offers. The options then are that you wait and risk letting go of other offers, let go of Google, or join a new company and leave within months. All of these options look terrible to me.
Based on a previous case with Apple, this guy is going to be a millionaire. So at least he has that.
That's a shortsighted view because it would imply that the quality of search doesn't have any bearing on their success. I highly doubt any Googler would agree with that. Especially not the ones who have been working on search specifically.
The comment's advice isn't especially intuitive, and as such it's not at all blameworthy to have failed to follow it; I'd likely have done the same thing the victims did. On top of that, they didn't say what the victims "should have" done, and left out the subject of "should". This is easily interpreted as broader advice, instead of criticism of the victims' actions.

The comment is completely consistent with the interpretation: "it's unintuitive and thus understandable that the victims didn't do this, but one should eat the cost of devices with unremovable sensitive data instead of sending it anywhere".

> If you can't see that, you need to reboot, install updates, and look again

I think I'm good with the version I'm running. Apparently it allows me to have enough going on in my life that I don't have the desperate impulse to get a dose of morning outrage from interpreting everything in the least charitable light.

There are different modes to boot up the device using power+volume up/down combinations.

Once in fastboot mode, you can connect to pc or another android device to boot to recovery and factory reset/wipe data. It won't be any three letter agency safe, but most data should be lost for any common tech person.

99.9% of people < 40 years who choose not to get the vaccine will survive and apparently be right (by the apparent metric of not dying set forth by HCA), so all this pissing on dead people accomplishes what to those people who will ultimately see themselves as correctly forgoing the vaccine?

I don't know how broken the phone was, but it's possible for a phone to be so damaged that you can't wipe it's contents prior to sending it in for service.

I love car analogies (who doesn't), I think this is more like your car being on fire and asking a firefighter to put it out, while hoping they won't find and share any documents they find in the back seat.
I didn't know they also had S3 for outposts... that's interesting. That also requires an Outposts rack as opposed to the servers the original article was talking about.

> 380 TB S3 tier is priced at $0.1000/GB-mo ($38,912.00/month)

But it's also extremely expensive. $38K per month for 380 TB of storage. Even if we assume 3X redundancy, you can get 500TB of raw capacity (12-16TB HDDs) for ~ $25k. After 3 months of usage, you'd have already covered that initial expense. I know there are other benefits to having managed services, but again, cost is definitely prohibitive for many use-cases.

I use minio locally to support S3-workloads on our local cluster. We can then migrate workloads to AWS/S3 proper with minimal changes, if needed.
For contract employment unless the contract stipulates a raise structure or something else which allows them to change your pay, they can't do that without you signing off on it.

For at will employment they can change your pay at any time. You're also free to leave at any time of course.
Traditionally, the second one is viewed as terrifying because an alien race may see us as a potential future threat. In a lot of science fiction, they see some violent/awful news from Earth indicating that we're monsters, and decide that it would be better to go ahead and exterminate us before we can do unto others as we do unto ourselves.

So the thinking is less that we're a threat to them now (if they can get here, we certainly are not), but some intelligent beings may look at how we have treated one another over the last few centuries/millennia and decide that they don't want us (or any self-replicating machines we happen to plop out) roaming/colonizing/populating/enslaving/murdering/reeducating the galaxy.

I started working a 4 day work week a few years ago and would not go back. The benefits to the employee are obvious, but consider those for the company: it gets a motivated, energised employee, and if like me they're a parent or for some other reason the employee has appointments (school, Dr etc), the employee often schedules them during the day off (or moves the day off to accomodate them), meaning the employee isn't taking any time off (usually, paid!) for them - I suspect I've had a lot less PTO than fulltime colleagues.
