Consider networking with your co-workers. You may not have much leverage on your own, but you do as a group. They probably don't like that clause either. But they also might not be aware of it, or how severe it is. Make sure they know.

Especially the "or anticipated future business", which is a potentially arbitrarily broad category.

And make sure to point out to your co-workers that, if they sign, the company could claim any idea they have in the future is based on one they had in the past, that they signed over to the company. And that this could impact their future employment, as employers might open themselves to legal liability if this company decides to sue them, on the logic that they are benefiting from your ideas, which they own.

In sum, this is a catastrophically bad contract, and the only way they'll get everyone to sign it is if your co-workers aren't aware of how bad it is. So make sure they are acutely aware.

Ask HN: Use Angellist for incorporating? Trying to raise funds
Hi HN. I am completely green when it comes to raising funds. I have bootstrapped a business that helps ecommerce companies connect with 3rd party logistics centers.

I currently have $5k MMR and want to grow fairly stable and hire on 3 developers, 1 qa, 1 designer, and 1 sales next year sometime when funding is there.

I am not sure how to go about seeking investment. Angellist looks like a good option but I need to incorporate in DE through them?

I guess I am just looking for other business owners to talk to figure out a game plan?

Ask HN: Best way for someone to reach professors to get into a PhD Program?
My sister is trying to get into a PhD program. She has emailed about a dozen professors, and she's having a lot of trouble getting any of them to even respond back to her emails, let alone getting any information. Since most schools seem to require reaching out to a professor first, this has become a substantial blocker.

I was curious if anyone here who worked in academia knew of a better way to contact professors than just a random email for this kind of thing. Would it make sense to try and call them, or send a physical letter?

NOTE: Her location is the United States.

The whole reason for my HN post activity (reading in the shadows from 2008-10) is CSAM. In the beginning of this issue nobody cared and tons of Apple fanboys down-voted every possible negative reaction.

Apple is industry leader. Everyone will copy what they create.

Oliver Stone has a new documentary this year with more information from newly declassified documents:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/JFK_Revisited:_Through_the_L...

Most interesting is the similar almost-assassinations that were tipped off in the months leading up to Dallas. Similar story, with a CIA asset like Oswald thinking they were tipping off secret service but were likely being setup as the fall guy. More information on why the Secret Service didn’t acknowledge (and buried) these very similar events in the 1963 FBI investigation and for the Warren commission is probably in the documents that the Biden again delayed declassifying this year.

But anyway, it is amazing how many Americans still seem to think there’s some doubt that this was a coup. The US is a very well-propagandized nation. The country has an agency that specializes in regime change, and a president that was very actively trying to reel in this agency was shot in the head. And then the guy they pinned it on was shot in broad daylight as well. And then the president’s brother was running for election, loudly talking about opening up the investigation to his brother’s death and he was also shot. But it’s somehow crazy talk to think any of this might be connected!

No we don't.

As I have written before in this topic, HN is the perfect example. It pulls in a small css and js file, both of which are so slim, they don't even require minifying. The resulting page is small, looks good, is performant and most importantly does its jobs.

Fair enough, but that's more of how you package things - you can either have a separate class in Java inside your jar or you can have a standalone agent application (often also yet another Java application), but the attack surface doesn't change much.

> If someone is very treatment resistant, they will have tried TMS in the course of their treatment,

[citation needed]

A dear relative of mine has depression that medication has only sort of worked for, and they'd never even heard of this treatment before I just linked them to it. I think you're drastically overestimating how aware people are of more recent treatments. Not everyone is hyperconnected to new medical developments.

Plus, making a fairly effective treatment work in five days vs six weeks is still a huge deal. And that helps answers your question of, "Why is the media doing this with old depression treatments that have been around for ages?" Because it's not actually that old, a lot of people don't know about it, AND it's a big step forward for the practicality of that treatment.
Beeing a bit self critical is a skill and i think it's actually good for a CTO. Defenitely better than the opposite.

Maybe search on some colleagues where you can discuss technical things at eye level. You beeing CTO doesn't mean you have to know everything better (imo, dependent on the company culture it may backfire).

Maybe it's something unrelated and you are just a bit depressive. I can easily imagine that happens to a lot of people with all the reduced social contacts due to covid....

> Is it? What makes you think that?

The Verge reached out to Apple[0] and Apple confirmed that their CSAM scanning feature is still coming.

> When reached for comment, Apple spokesperson Shane Bauer said that the company’s position hasn’t changed since September, when it first announced it would be delaying the launch of the CSAM detection. “Based on feedback from customers, advocacy groups, researchers, and others, we have decided to take additional time over the coming months to collect input and make improvements before releasing these critically important child safety features,” the company’s September statement read.

So yes, they still fully intend to push the update. You should probably take this less personally too, your arguments are only suffering by attacking people who are just trying to chip in their two cents.

SSRIs are awful. I still have doctors trying to throw them at me after 15+ years of treatment resistant depression. It's honestly delusional. MAOIs actually have less drug/drug interactions and less systemic reactions if used responsibly. If another drug had the same dangers SSRIs had I don't think doctors would be overprescribing it as much but by definition people who are going in to get Prozac, we can easily tell them everything's in their head and blame anything that happens on their disorder.

SSRIs also INCREASE the risk of suicide and a trial with healthy people without history of behavioral health issues on Prozac ended in some of the patients dying this way. This has been a huge cover up and I'm not sure if these meds got the black box warning about this. It's easy to say "ohh these patients would have done that anyway, they're depressed" but that's not what the data shows...

I think if you have been CTO for 8 years and its growing like crazy (and your growing your team) your doing a good job as CTO - at that team size its not really the job of CTO to make individual contributions - the job is more to find new talent for the team, to nurture existing talent on the team, and to make sure that good technical decisions are being made.

I can attest that the other posts on that blog about AOT compilers are also extremely solid - concrete, practical, well-written.
From the list of languages you mentioned I understand that you probably enjoy ways to express algorithms in an elegant and (maybe) terse way. Maybe that's easier for you to understand. However all that abstraction is very far removed from what the compiler or the interpreter actually execute on the CPU.

For me an easy to understand program is one where the way memory is structured and the way execution modifies said memory is easy to follow. That's why Go, despite being very verbose in some cases, it's easier to reason about, than codebases doing similar things in higher level programming languages.
We're moving everything that is still tied to it away from MS. The last products we have to solve are Dynamics and Excel but that scope is so small compared to everything else that it might not matter to leave those as-is for now if we can get at least Dynamics as SaaS and ditch AD (which only remains for Dynamics).

MS doesn't do the things we need in a better way than other options, and it's almost always more expensive at product level and TCO level.

> It would be 18 more years before a new version of HTTP was released. In 2015, and with much fanfare, RFC 7540 would standardize HTTP/2 as the next major version of the protocol.

Huh, this is interesting.

So the current timescale is like:

HTTP/1: 1996 (though HTTP/1.1 came out in 1997)
HTTP/2: 2015
HTTP/3: 2021 (current draft)

Should we expect HTTP/4 around 2022 or 2023, at this increasing rate of progress, then? Just a bit of extrapolation, since it seems like the rate of progress and new versions to deal with is increasing. Promising, but possibly worrying.

I think you need to find some good mentors; and/or find some good people in your organization that you can talk about these issues with.

> or get called out on not doing things the "right" way

Assuming you're working in a team setting, you need to direct the people who will call you out into planning to make sure that things are done the "right" way. And, then ask yourself, why aren't these people writing the coding guide, picking the patterns, writing the design, or reviewing such work? Why aren't you delegating to them?

One big mistake that I see is a general lack of mentorship when someone is "leading" without at least decade under their belt. You might be the smartest person in the room, but without experience, you're going to make mistakes that are "obvious" to anyone who's been in this field for 10+ years.
>Probably this is why many get their work rejected.

It's interesting we've built a system where people are allowed to be given a job and then told they're unqualified to perform it. If a construction site hired someone as a heavy machine operator and then immediately decided to fire them, they'd still be owed some form of wages.
You can still get a lot of conspiracies out of that one, too, especially among those who believe that Mark Felt (AKA Deep Throat)'s pardon was backdated.

That is great that the format itself will be open sourced.

Long term I think there are some great opportunities for on boarding pre-seed technical founders onto the paid platforms which utilize Open CapTable Format files by providing some guidance on how to use open source tools (editors, git/ledger) to edit OCF files, store, distribute and ensure consensus among founders and early partners.

The founders can then share the OCF files and distributed ledger entries when they eventually need to work with established entities who are using the paid SaaS OCF offerings (VCs, Legal, Compliance organizations). They also would likely graduate to paid SaaS offerings as well.

Sort of the open source git versus GitHub/GitLabs model.
You're conflating viewing CSAM with the physical act of exploitation, through some dubious reference to "incentives" and "the market". I don't think people who abuse children are doing so because it's economically lucrative, but rather because they themselves are dangerously sick in the head. But maybe you know more about this scene than I do. (see how that works?)

Once abuse has occurred and has been "documented", completely preventing the spread of that CSAM requires totalitarian systems of policing communications, which are what is being argued against here. Invoking the original abuse as if the topic at hand would have had some bearing on it is an emotional appeal, not a logical argument.

When running X on a previous Debian version, it was possible to edit the synaptic settings to prevent accidental touchpad touches when typing (along with a lot of other settings to make the user experience excellent).

Now running Wayland on Debian 11/Bullseye (with Gnome), there are only a few possible simple settings (that I can find), and so I have continual issues with window de-focussing due to accidentally touching the touchpad.

Is there anything that I can do now to fix this issue?

(I took a look at the blog post and also the https://neosmart.net/blog/2020/multi-touch-gestures-on-linux... link, but still don't understand the state of things and if my problem is solved by installing any of these new packages.)

edit> The libinput webpage says this:
"How do I configure my device on Wayland?
See Where is the configuration stored? Use the configuration tool provided by your desktop environment (e.g. gnome-control-center) or direct access to your desktop environment’s configuration storage (e.g. gsettings)."

https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/faqs.htm...

Does this mean that it is not possible to set anything that isn't included in Gnome's minimal settings of libinput?

Perhaps you have the other fingerprinting techniques locked down. Brave has a whole lot of anti-fingerprinting measures.

So instead, this approach has different adversaries sharing the fractional information they've gathered about this user and collaborate to build a stronger profile to positively identify the user.
You could observe how Corporate MDM solutions approach the problem? For example, a replacement web browser, after forcing them to use the webapp? Actually use the MDM APIs?

As an aside, shaming someone out of a impulsive habit may not be sustainable. I'd say that you're trying to cure a symptom rather than create room for self-reflection and encourage them to chase down the missing pieces and identify the root cause.

> let health insurance companies consider vaccination status when calculating an individual's health insurance premiums

If I'm in my late 20s or early 30s and in great shape and eat healthy, a vaccine is not going to make a difference in personal risk.
If anything, vaccine rates should be used by a company when getting health insurance benefits for the org as a whole.
