I doubt it, there's really no status with it.

I use one of the competitors. I don't feel special at all. Literally anyone can spend $8/month to do it, it's not even really expensive enough to be exclusive.

I do it because it makes my time to get in predictable. I don't have to show up 2 hours early so the TSA can dick around and pretend to be effective.

I don't feel special. I do sometimes feel guilty for having it easier, but I can't fix the TSA, and my suffering doesn't make anyone better off.
> the employer in good faith believes

So unless you can read minds, it'd be hard to prove that the employer doesn't believe this is the salary range.

And besides, 10K to 1M is a pedantically large range to illustrate this dynamic. Realistically a lot of companies could provide a range from $60K to $300K for software developers - both of these are salaries I can attest to firsthand. This isn't as stark as a 100:1 range, but a range of 5:1 is still a wide enough range such that expected salaries are still effectively unknown.
It's okay to refer to capabilities that should be expected of everyone as "grown up", and falling short of those standards as "childish". It is harmful to extend that to specialized skills, because it leads people to forget that they are specialized skills that aren't going to be learned through mere maturation (and that their lack doesn't necessarily imply immaturity).
Sounds like my current company. Devs have been complaining about how the tooling has become progressively worse but no one with a fat paycheck cares...so it doesn't get done...until something catches fire.

Some people can't learn by theory. They have to learn by practice. FOMO isn't a mistake. That's just greed calling the shots.

The best way to learn how to control FOMO is to experience its consequences. The only question is how much tuition are you willing to pay. He paid a lot.

Ask HN: How has long-term work from home changed your sleep habits?
I am a techie dad, in his 40s, with 2 school aged kids. My partner and I both work from home.

I'm noticing some changes to my sleep from pre-pandemic. Particularly, the often overwhelming desire to take a post-lunch siesta/short power nap (as my work schedule allows).

I'm curious if this is some kind of natural thing that happens? And if others experience the increased desire to nap while WFH? Or if there's other sleep changes you've noticed in a WFH routine?
My guess is that it is because DATEDIFF is hard to write correctly. (In particular, the DATEDIFF function presented in the article, while probably correct in a lot of common cases, is incorrect for certain intervals and resolutions, the easiest of which are daylight saving time boundaries and leap seconds, and one of the more annoying ones being days around the date of adoption of the Gregorian calendar. Seriously, if you're in GB or the US and sitting at a Linux command window type `cal 9 1752` and view one of the wonders in the long, inglorious history of timekeeping.)

> DOJ stepping in to destroy Microsoft because Bill Gates was essentially too rich..

That is revisionist. Microsoft got a slap on the wrist. I don't think this gave Apple any tangible benefit. Microsoft's investment was also insignificant. The only thing that really mattered was Microsoft's commitment to continue delivering MS Office for Mac OS. That was a big deal. MS got benefit from Explorer on Mac and for the continued "competition" from Apple to reduce antitrust accusations.

> The problem with prediction markets is that information is not equally distributed amongst participants, and vote "weight" needs to be adjusted based upon proximity to information as well as rational, objective decision-making criteria.

This adds unnecessary complexity. Prefer simplicity. The votes are already weighted by bet size, and those with greater proximity to relevant information or insight will tend to bet more. Empirically, prediction markets have done well.

In any event it was state intervention. When that happens the victory/defeat of a company becomes political , not technical or due to financial or business acumen.

The worst thing is that the majority of the American population would have not found themselves competing against Bill Gates for anything, except those in DC who had him as their #1 enemy in order to win their size measuring contest.

Matter of fact the small individual consumer and small businesses were getting away robbing Microsoft blind as they didn't do anything to stop piracy.

Microsoft would just treat it as free marketing or just pass those losses onto big paying customers such as the Fortune 500 companies, thus compensating for piracy losses at the base of the pyramid.

After DOJ intervention nowadays we have Apple shipping a 1700$ phone which is completely closed off and out of the box is impossible to charge while listening to music at the same time. Irony if you think about how passionate Jobs was about music
For some additional information, the concerns that Boeing and Airbus have are around radar altimeters. These devices are used especially during landing scenarios, especially automated landing scenarios in low visibility weather. The radar altimeter devices that are in the belly of these planes use fairly low wattage power, and are easily overwhelmed by 5g base station equipment that is located on the landing paths of major airports. The concern is that 5g could interfere and render useless automated ILS landing for major airports. This concern also affects helicopters doing automated or assisted landing at helipads on hospitals and other more complicated landing scenarios.

There has been extensive research and testing that led to this conclusion of concern. You can read more about the background from the independent body that did the investigation:

The problems with chatting with the opposite gender are a) finding a suitably gendered language (I understand that Chinese won't work), and b) lining up the nouns you need.

Chatting with members of the opposite sex does not strike me as especially difficult. There are co-workers, there are neighbors, acquaintances from various activities, a spouse. If you mean chats leading quickly to sexual relations, well, that's another matter.
Then there's what happens in posters for international audiences:

I have been through this before. I don't think all big companies are like this, but there is a bias at large enterprises towards moving slowly and more carefully. Honestly, this is one of the main reasons why big companies buy startups in the first place. It is also a key reason for why many of these acquisitions fail.

There are really two considerations.

1) Do you have any financial interest in sticking around? A lot of times when there is an acquisition, the acquirer offers employees a bonus to stick around for some period of time and hit certain goals. Or the salary might be a lot better. It could be in your interest to stick around even though the work situation isn't great.

2) How crazy is this making you? One option is to adjust your expectations and get used to things moving a lot slower. If you really can't put up with this, then there are a lot of other jobs out there. The bright side of this gridlock is that you probably have plenty of time to look for a new job.

In my case, I lasted about 4 months before I left. Within about two years, the product had been shut down and everyone involved with the acquisition had left.

Why disable mesh? I thought that will ensure the devices work together rather than compete (looking at fritzbox, but it seems they are all compatible).
Not trying to defend TP-Link or anything, but I recently bought a pair of mesh router from them and they work very well.

BTW, this hidden network probably uses another protocol (for the OneMesh). It is the 802.11s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11s), that uses its own encryption method based on Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) (yeah, that is the same as WPA3, however it came before it). It shows as hidden network on Wi-Fi Analyzer, but the network is not actually hidden in the same sense of a hidden Wi-Fi network: this simple happens because 802.11s has no concept of SSID.

The authentication of new devices happens when you pair a new router using the application available on Android/iOS (it has a web interface too but AFAIK it doesn't allow adding new mesh routers to the network). So it seems pretty secure for me, at least sans some security bugs that I am sure that the device should have. Doesn't bother me too much considering that most bugs that I saw on those consumer routers generally comes from the security from things like administration pages and not the Wi-Fi network itself (unless it is something like KRACK that affects all devices implementing the protocol).

Yeah, it is still pretty sh*t that they enable this by default, but if the router from the author of blog post is from one of their lines of mesh routers I do think this is kinda of made by purpose, because using multiple routers devices is kinda of the idea of a mesh network.
Did you comment on the wrong submission? This is an article on chip foundries.
You're assuming that they really wanted your startup and not just removing a competitor. They may just be waiting for you to leave.
Yes, I would take that bargain.

Reducing 193 murder victims (Belgium 2017) to 19.3 victims.
Assuming there's a 1:1 victim/killer ratio, that would mean ~20 executed killers of which 1 is innocent.

BeOS would have been a disaster. Jobs gave Ive a chance to design an iconic iMac, which handily restored Apple's credibility and also helped get some money rolling in. And then the iPod, iPhone, iPad and the rest.

I can't imagine BeOS going in the same direction. Macs would have been increasingly PC-like - but with a much nicer OS, and maybe brightly coloured plastic [1] instead of beige - and someone else would have eaten mobile.

I suspect BeOS Macs would have ended up more like the Amiga - an item of nostalgia. Apple would likely have been sold off within a couple of years.

I don't know what you mean by debt-based currency, but no I don't think that using tokens instead of currency changes anything. The process of granting and managing a loan is exactly the same regardless of whether the loan is denominated in currency or in some token.
As a Canadian American flying Lufthansa from Vancouver to Munich direct I was amused to learn that so long as your flight isn't passing over US airspace nobody gives a rats ass about airplane mode and you can happily continue to use data and make calls (using a transmitter on the plane to relay signals I'd assume) for the entire flight including take off and landing.

This seems to be an entirely BS safety concern made up by US regulators for who even knows what reason.

The entire point of this app is to share control of someone's computer, as well as drawing on their screens, having another cursor and this sort of stuff. It's a textbook example of an app that _would_ be very hard to build cross-platform.

Is there a reason that this is a huge concern in the US while flights not passing over US airspace freely allow the use of 5G equipment including during take off/landing?
No it's absolutely and completely nonsense. Try "Kodi is used to manage and play video files" instead. Because (a) that is not illegal and (b) that is true.

You have no idea how many people use Kodi to manage their dvds they ripped using handbrake, for example. None. Zero. You have no idea how many people use kodi for streaming Al-Jazeera news or msnbc/fox disinformation. So now you're just speculating and trying to claim a useful tool, like a car, can be used in association with an illegal act, like a bank robbery getaway car. That's it. Even if you did have actual data, which you don't, it's utterly irrelevant. There is are multiple ordinary, expected, and designed for legal uses of kodi. Kodi is being used legally, properly and ethically by a great many people. That is clear and not in dispute.

Take it one step further to see it with stunning clarity. What percentage of home computers have been used in some fashion with copyrighted material where Disney et al claim they should be paid ever more and have repeatedly changed laws by paying large sums to politicians to effect that law-enforcement supported revenue increase? With no data someone claims "most home computers are used this way" and makes your comment about ignoring likelihood when called out for it. It really is just a nuts analysis and should be called as such.

An app that shares screens and mouse pointers with simultaneous audio/video transmission is not the same kind of cross-platform undertaking as a to-do app.
Speaking of unusual deaths, I nearly got death by cardboard box as a kid.

My parents had bought one of those huge TVs, and I could fit comfortably in the discarded box, so they let me play with it. I was so fascinated by this box, I lived in it the whole day, and in the afternoon, took a nap inside.

Not being the brightest kid, I turned it upside down so the opening was on the floor, neatly locked the tabs so it was completely closed, and slept in the dark. The first signs of asphyxiation woke me up, and in panic, I tore through the top of the box. Fortunately it had staples instead of packing tape. That would have been the dumbest death in my family AFAIK.

Now I always leave holes in boxes kids or pets might play inside of.
Sure, it’s pretty common, and it never ceases to amaze me. But what I find particularly interesting about treehood is that it’s just so unexpected: I would never have expected that palm trees, aloes and gum trees (to take two random examples) not only both independently evolved from unrelated nontrees, but also evolved completely different ways of structuring themselves to do so, to end up with practically indistinguishable results. (Yes, I know they can be distinguished, but it takes some practice and still isn’t obvious.)

There is a specific problem with routers and certification for radio usage.
This makes right to repair harder. It's not just a legal issue. The ether is quite full and it mostly works because there are clear rules that devices must meet.

With user serviceable routers, bumping up power, or moving to locally forbidden (quieter) frequencies could become lifehacks. There was already an airport whose radio saw interference from extra powerful 5ghz wifi routers.

Locking down devices as a business model is bad. But Locking them down as a regulatory precaution to keep radio working is different.

How to keep every manufacturer from seeking excemption from right to repair under these rules would be challenging tho.
You’re making a misleading comparison.

If you want to liken the 737 MAX’s failures to road traffic, you have to ask yourself if there’d be broad acceptance of shoddily built, fault-intolerant bridges and freeways. Moreover, would that acceptance be greater or lesser if the public knew that engineers believed their designs were flawed?

On the other hand, if you actually parse the input and use it to make transformations, it would be possible to show you what the tool your are inputting to believes you mean in a clearer fashion, which is very useful. Automated indenting and syntax highlighting (when done correctly) can catch errors as you type.
Part of the core motivations of ipfs is to make files last forever. The idea is similar to bittorrent (or any p2p file sharing system). There's no guarantee, but it's more likely that a file will be hosted by one of millions of people, over a handful of corporate servers.

The major decision to make is, what kind of connector do you want? Ethernet or SFP?

Ethernet is more costly, SFP is the more approachable-but-unusual way. Lengths of the runs and how many clients changes the decision making a bit, so keep that in mind.

I didn't mind cost so much but I wanted to stick with typical Ethernet. Mainly a comfort thing, I don't know the limits of SFP well.

Build a native app and you get complaints about cross platform. Build an electron (or other cross platform toolkit) app and you get complaints about resource usage and non native ui.

Seems to me that they know their target market (large tech shops with lots of devs on macos) and preferred to optimize for resource usage and user experience by going native. For another company, this could very well be the wrong choice, but they should look at the numbers and decide what makes sense for them.
Yes, but that's not what datediff does. The article doesn't really make it clear, but Microsoft explains Datediff as "This function returns the count (as a signed integer value) of the specified datepart boundaries crossed between the specified startdate and enddate." That's very different from "the difference between two date" that is what the subtract operator calculates
