The way it usually works is:

Recruiter sends out spam to everybody fitting X parameters.

If you find the company and position interesting you can respond.

A recruiter will actually look at your profile and if they think you’re a good match, go from there.

I still find it useful overall because once you respond to the recruiter, you have a decent in with the company. You do need to wait for actually good positions to come in (which would be true anyway if they were looking at your profile), but you can literally just ignore them all until you are looking to actually job hop.
It is daunting, but the world has looked at least this scary before and it didn’t stop the generations of people who led to our existence right now.

As a person who just had a child, I strongly recommend it so far. It is more challenging than most things I have done in my life, but also more rewarding. I am forced to be selfless in a way that I never have been before. And I know it’s annoying to hear people say these things, but they are true.

For those who don’t want children, of course that’s your choice. I just hope we don’t let fear ruin such a beautiful opportunity for those who would be parents and children.
The places I worked certainly went thought them like water. Every time something like a lav pack or mic came off a performer it got a new procell. There were buckets of them at the end of the day. They never spent much time inside the devices but did come home with us for use in remotes and kids toys.

I understood the procell line to mean that the batteries each got tested for voltage before shipping. 20/30 years ago, for whatever reason, a percentage of consumer batteries would be already dead when they left the factory.

> ... sitting on a mountainous pile of cash.

And distributing a mountainous pile of cash to shareholders. In FY2021 alone, Apple repurchased $85.5 billion dollars worth of shares and spent $14.5 billion dollars on dividend issuance. That's 1/10th of a trillion dollars per year in distributions. [1]

Buffet alone collected almost $1B in dividends since taking his position. [2]

What bothered me as an app developer over a decade ago when Apple Facebook and Google all started taking a cut of app revenues is that they all magically decided that 30% was going to be the number. They didn’t even bother pretending to compete to undercut each other, it was as if they all decided together behind closed doors that 30% was the number and that was it. After that I realized I didn’t want to be developing apps for these platforms anymore.
I think a lot of the takes on this are coming at it from the wrong angle - "Why does Apple deserve a third of app revenue?"

What if we flip it to: "Why do app developers deserve access to Apple's customers?"

30% is the price to access Apple's customers.

If you're a developer and don't like this, then don't build an iOS app. Build Android-only, or build a web app.

If you're a customer and don't like this, then don't buy an iPhone. Vote with your feet. Buy an Android. Or a Pinephone/Fairphone/Librem which are as close to a general purpose computer-as-a-phone outside of the Apple-Google duopoly that there is at the current time.

I understand that the value of the Apple ecosystem is not just what Apple bring to the table. It's the ecosphere of apps available. So there's definitely a symbiosis here. But Apple is like China here. No matter how ethically questionable, there will always be those for whom the market that Apple represents is too tempting to ignore. Even with a 30% cost of doing business. Meaning there will always be app developers building apps for iOS.
This doesn't make much sense. Inflation erodes debt and is largely driven by wage increases among low income workers.

>"For example, rank-and-file workers in leisure and hospitality — the lowest-paying sector of the U.S. economy — got a nearly 16% raise in 2021, to $16.97 an hour. That means the average employee at a bar, restaurants and hotel saw pay rise more than two times faster than inflation, amounting to a net 9% increase in annual pay.

Similarly, rank-and-file workers in transportation and warehousing saw their annual pay rise 8.4%, to $25.04 an hour in December. Retail workers got a 7% increase to $19.20. These either exceeded or matched inflation."

Your dollars being worth less is bad for people who have a lot of dollars. Which by definition isn't people at the bottom. You're seeing prices go up because people at the bottom of the American food-chain have been getting paid more as covid has impacted supply chains and the workforce.

I'm trying to figure out if you are proud of this decision or not?
I've never really understood this. If I had the choice today to be born today or never,I would definitely choose to be born. Why would my unborn children decide differently. Honestly curious how you would answer this question.
Context matters. Nobody here would complain about Apple charging more for an iPhone or iPad.

There is a difference between a pricey product and a high taxes.
Thank you. These numbers look more realistic in most cases. Also, without being too sure, an additional dependent should reduce the tax burden at the marginal rate. Not sure how much this actually yields.

*edited as I made an incorrect assumption just now.

CB Radio
I switched to goat counter recently and I’m happy with it. It’s not exactly an open source alternative to Google Analytics, because it’s more privacy oriented. If you want to track and profile your audience, it’s probably not what you want. I just want to get traffic numbers by page, though, so it’s perfect. They even support a hit counter pixel instead of adding a script tag if you want even more minimal, privacy-friendly stats.
No.

I already paid for the hardware to run nextcloud at home.

I don't need anything else.
> Motivation: Lately due to GDPR many websites are blocking access in the EU. For me, I cannot order medicines back home via netmeds.com

Blaming GDPR for this is a bit like blaming a lead mine for getting shot. Yes, it's involved but it's not the reason. It only seems to be certain large US websites that carte-blanch refuse to serve EU visitors over GDPR, mostly those with large, tendril-filled advertising networks that have no "easy opt-out". Some sites (healthcare ones that tended to be SEO'd to the max when I searched for drug names as well as more mainstream ones like, iirc, the Washington Post) carte-blanch refuse to let you browse them without accepting unnecessary cookies; this is a direct breach of the legislation and yet they still want your traffic.

If someone won't sell you something because of GDPR -- legislation that protects your privacy, and in particular considers medical information as especially sensitive -- then you perhaps have to think rather carefully about if you wish to do business with them.

(For what it's worth, from a Danish IP, the site listed in the github repo works perfectly on my home network which admittedly contains a pihole-provided dns-level adblocking. It blocks tor and I don't have an easy way of testing it otherwise).

Becoming your future self (2017)
Yeah I did the pantry thing after March 2020 (in the basement, the kitchen doesn't have a proper pantry) and wasn't careful enough about protecting it. It was fine for a year, but this winter we got mice in the house and now we have to toss what wasn't in cans or plastic containers already.

We set some live traps and I've caught and released (several miles away) four mice already.

Still a good idea, we just can't have anything mice could possibly get into next time.
I like where you're going with this, and I was amazed to hear how inexpensive IPFS storage could be (or other distributed storage) could be.

I've been looking at storing users GPS data, but more than just encrypted for privacy, I think it is important to think about how you give other apps access to the data.

The approach I'm researching is how to manage an access control list for such an environment.

I'd think it would be the same for photos. I want my photos stored somewhere, and possibly with other people and apps. So picture the next Instagram, but rather than Insta storing the photos, they have access to my photos, when the next app comes along, I don't "re-upload" or start fresh, I give them access to my library (or portion of my library, but that's probably a later step).

Any thoughts on that?
You can implement stuff using eBPF and do IO and compute in without leaving the kernel. It’s crazy.

For instance you can perform an on-disk b-tree lookup in the kernel.

These devices are so fast that crossing the kernel boundary becomes the limiting factor.

Appreciate the feedback. These statements are a synthesis of ideas from people who've already synthesized all the complexity of the CDM vs MOND debate, but now I'm talking at the level of HackerNews so people do something!

Cloud Scanning and Remediation Solution
Are there any good tools/solutions which can not only help detect cloud resources issues and suggest best practices to solve it but also help build the custom remediation automated workflow or in some cases can be done 1-click remediation?

We are evaluating splunk, new relic and Data Dog but couldn't identify if they have remediation workflow in it. Dynatrace claims doing remediation but seems limited to container workloads only. We are not looking for the solution on the APM space, limited to cloud infra resources. Your input would be appreciated!
UK-to-US Word of the Year 2021: university
The App Store was ruled not to be a separate product from iOS in Epic v Apple, so the iPhone really is the full package including iOS and App Store, and you must compete against it fully.
Thanks! What a historic document ;)
Also the most frustrating, most expensive, most congested, most cramped, most superficially social, most problem filled, least connected-to-nature, noisiest, least safe (by some measures), least peaceful (by some measures), least family-oriented (by some measures)…

Depends on your point of view, lived experience and personal taste. There is a continuum and are exceptions, of course.

But you pays your money, and you makes your choice (for you and your family).
> not everyone on r/btc owns a lot of bitcoin.

/r/btc is actually the bitcoin cash subreddit (though they welcome conversation of other cryptos). Most people in that sub probably hold very little bitcoin if any (except perhaps those who joined by accident).

In /r/bitcoin you get banned for discussing other cryptocurrencies, so I'd wager most of the subscribers hold more bitcoin than anything else.

Computers are such an interesting and free mathematical concept.
iPhone is compute.

Before iPhone, operating systems and the web were wide open for computation. You could install everything you wanted.

Apple views the iPhone as a sovereign territory, not just some generic compute resource. They can delete accounts, block access to the CPU, and charge whatever taxes they want. It's their land. In their minds, you're blessed to have the opportunity to be on their platform. Your users are strictly on loan from Apple, and you're going to pay for access to their customers. Your app better behave.

The market evolved into the shape that it did because Apple had a great product, a fun evolution of iPod, and a simple and compelling UI. Microsoft missed the shot, Android took time to get its act together.

None of this was a bad deal for developers at the time, but now there's no way to avoid it. We're now living in a sort of North Korea. Entrenched, with no way out. Over half of your potential customers don't have other devices and you can't reach them any other way than going through Apple.

It sucks for small companies in tech having to carve out ever smaller pieces of the pie. Year by year the market shrinks because the giants take it, tax it, and ration it out. If we'd have known then what we know now, we would have bought up every first generation iPhone and buried them all in a ditch.

iPhone is compute, but they'll be damned if you do anything that threatens their dear platform and profits.

We should push for our legislators to require open installs without an App Store. Customers already pay for the device. They shouldn't have to pay additional taxes for us trying to develop for them, trying to survive in this already hostile market.

Since you’re talking about web, if you want to be on Shopify’s or Salesforce’s marketplace, you need to share revenue too.

Haha I guess we have a diff of opinion on that.

I'm not really opposed to crypto, although I would hardly qualify myself as a crypto bro. Did mess around with crypto a bit when I was younger (Which I will forever regret not holding onto lol), and I bought some NFTs to try out the tech which mostly sucked but was a fun learning experience where I met some cool people.

I don't really see the hype either way about its damages or the benefits of it, at least any more of less than any other piece of tech.
I think it's not about the fee for service model in general, but percentage of future earnings as the fee that people have an issue with.

That makes it unlike either a one-time or a flat maintenance fee.
>"But if tomorrow Apple decides you owe them more, what are you going to do? Not stay on the Apple Store? I don't think so."

Actually many people do just fine without Apple.
I mention io_uring in my original comment. The issue isn’t that the tech doesn’t exist, it’s that it’s not being used.

And even before that there was Linux AIO etc.
Not just crypto, but the whole enchilada of toxic masculinity[0]: guns, UFC, get-rich-or-die-trying prosperity gospel, “seduction techniques”, and so on. There’s even “murderedbywords” for the best-phrased contrarian put downs, a place that manages to be more like HN than HN itself.

All the typical props of the interior decoration of the modern loser’s mind, in one place.

[0]: chill, dude! Your masculinity is non-toxic, probably. In fact the term acknowledges non-toxic masculinity as the default , since otherwise there wouldn’t be a need to add the modifier.

Edit, to reply to the flagged troll: the women seem to all be at /r/povertyfinance: https://subredditstats.com/subreddit-user-overlaps/povertyfi.... The connected subreddits there tell a somewhat different story. Of pragmatism instead of stewing in grievances and hoping for an easy way out.

I’d speculate that ‘r/poor really doesn’t have too much actual poverty, but rather it’s a social poverty the members feel, which they hope to get out of by becoming billionaires (and/or “negging”). /r/povertyfinance is about actual poverty, where you’re trying to find out if you can still eat that food or how to fix the car without spending money.
What shouldn’t be context dependent, in that way at least, is the law. It should apply equally to everyone and each company regardless of how successful they are.

> Better than not vaxxed, but with Omicron not nearly as well protected as against prior strains

...against symptomatic infection. The vaccines still provide excellent protection against severe outcomes. There is no debate on this point.

> with both Omicron and Delta not protected against infection and retransmission enough not to be a public health risk if unmasked

The vaccines still reduce risk of infection by 30% (if not more), even against Omicron. You need only look at the statistics from a state that breaks down by vaccination status to see that this is true. As of right now, the unvaccinated in NYC have a case rate of 3292 per 100k, and the vaccinated have a case rate of 457 per 100k -- a seven-fold reduction in risk of infection.

https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-data.page#daily

Masks are nowhere near this level of effect size. Worrying about masks after vaccination is the ultimate bikeshed. You've already done the thing that slashes your risk, and you're fixated on the thing that has almost zero evidence of effectiveness, because it's the thing you can see.
All 3 are Eneloops, just not the same lines (the 2450's are pros). Also their Tjugo charger is one of those chargers that slowly pulse-charges each cell individually and checks the delta, it's a very overengineered and conservative charger design that won't roast the AAA's and AA's from them.

> I'm sure a lot of the actions come from a place of wanting to do good

although wholeheartedly I agree with your sentiment, that's where our opinions diverge... none of the parties mentioned in the original issue are 'wanting to do good' in my opinion, even thoug it _is_, as you say, understandable that they do what they do.
By the way corporate personhood is not a legal fiction as in the term of art, it's a legal principle. More like a fact of law than a fiction.

I know in context you don't intend that but just a pejorative based around the fact corporations are a legal structure. Although I'm always puzzled by what the actual problem with this is. And I'll go on a tangent from the topic.

The legal system is fictional in basically the same way a corporation is. So is all other aspects of a government. Even the legal rights that a real person has are just about as far removed from flesh and blood as the legal entity of a corporation is from the brick and mortar and people that make up a corporation (for those corporations that have such corporeal bodies).

Having almost no appreciation for legal systems or their history, I would also guess that the idea a stroke of the pen suddenly gives birth to corporations which spread their ruin across the earth is backward, or at least much more complicated. Usually it is the legal system catching up with reality, solving problems like regulating existing practice of the time. Laws are shaped by society as much or maybe more than society is is shaped by laws, in my opinion.

I mean, argue specific problems of corporate law, but the general disparagement of "legal make-believe" I don't understand. The entire legal system is built on it, there's a lot of good things that are done with it.
> 20/30 years ago, for whatever reason, a percentage of consumer batteries would be already dead when they left the factory.

My uneducated guess is that manufacturing defects led to internal shorts or opens, both of which eventually lead to the same result — no output.
"fortunate"
However, there is no data on whether r/poor correlates with the participants being poor.
It doesn't matter, you are assuming a dark matter theory to begin with here. You are just assuming the dark matter is made up of black holes. This is an established idea of dark matter that has been given serious attention at times, though it's never been a leading candidate that I know of.
It's not a monopoly, it's a vertically integrated business that is using its cash and marketing to lure in and lock in more developers, who in turn end up being working as unpaid labor for them, increasing the value of their app store, and the virtuous cycle continues. Noone else had pulled that before, apple could do it because phones peaked usability-wise and ended up becoming a fashion item. As long as developers keep being on apple's train, she calls the shots. There is no way to win this game, only to bail.
This I believe is exactly how empires go down.
I can't help but feel bad for a lot of the stuff I read in the crypto subs. They read about people who invested like $10k into crypto and became a millionaire, then invest $100 and hope for the same. The amount of disdain in those subs for safe investments is borderline dangerous and the prevailing attitudes there are going to leave most of them worse off than they'd otherwise be.
It does not have to be recompiled. The entitlement is akin to SSL: it has to be renewed. Automated tools can do this for you.

This seven day lie/conspiracy/flat-earth is disappointing.
The landlord incurs an opportunity cost for not selling their property either as a condo conversion or single family depending on the local market. The property price at sale is directly influenced by prevailing interest rates. The landlord will then charge rents in line with some return horizon that ensures its worth their time to not just sell and take the cash.
I bet there's a high degree over overlap with /r/student as well.
I think the worst outcome of their attempts to tax others this way is that it'll blow up in their face and they'll lose leverage over the app store.

I'm okay with them enforcing app store policy guidelines etc. I think what they're doing here though is just a racket.

They may have deluded themselves about this (seems that way from their comments about it), but I think most people outside of Apple see it for what it is. You can make a good argument about app store rules being in the interest of customers and chosen by customers. You can't really make a good argument for the profit grab they're doing here, it's just abuse.
What did you leave the Microsoft ecosystem to do?
That's not the exponential function.

If you don't have descendants/heirs, an increase allows you to withdraw a massive amount of equity. If you do have heirs, a value increase will do tons for them (further increase inequality in the next generation) if it does nothing for you.
