1. The Black Lives Matter protests were, in fact, mostly peaceful. I didn't attend any of the protests but there were several in my city. No broken windows, no fires, no riots. "Peaceful" objectively describes the majority of the protests. Much like most police officers are well meaning individuals who became police because they want to help people, most of the protesters were law abiding folks who want to make America a better place.

2. You have to have some pretty narrow blinders on to think that no one is questioning transgender issues.
I am surprised people are worried about 1Password getting this money and not caring about their users. How about at least they have money to be alive for the foreseeable future. I am worried about free password managers because they are broke and could sunset the app at any point and now I have to go find something else, or better yet, no financial incentive to do the best thing for the app. They do it for fun. My security is not for fun. LOL
Likely the major "fee" is due to illiquidity. You may need to accept a substantial discount to fair market value to sell a startup position, although even defining FMV is difficult when there are no trades.
"$90,000 per year isn't likely to generate enough money for this person's retirement, particularly if they encounter major expenses."

This simply isn't true in most areas. You can live a modest lifestyle and have a very good chance of retirement at a "normal" retirement age (60-65). The median US software dev makes about $110k and is one of the more highly compensated jobs. I make about the same as the poster, and I'm actually in decent shape for retirement, even with a family.

On the second point I sort of agree. Why not take a second job and make more?
I think you understate your case. A lot of nerds and nerd culture is actively hostile to making things easy to use and will intentionally erect banners and over complicate systems in order to keep "normies" out and make themselves appear smart.Its rather sad really.
interesting. do big companies have some strict rulebooks for git? I thought everybody just follows "gitflow" model and that's enough.
How? Did you read the paper she linked to and understand why she referenced it?

(and, for that matter, did you notice the clever way in which Razib said it was nonsense but didn't directly address or show any signs of understanding the argument? He was hoping that you'd have a good sense of righteous indignation and roll right past that without pausing to ask whether things like human cognition might not be as simple as the length of a cucumber.)
Shoot I didnt see this and replied to other comment about this, so apologies! We just launched subscriptions last week but we are still price testing different price points. Right now one of the most common price point that we are offering is $7.99 per month, $16.99 quarterly and $49.99 annually. Once we solidify the price, we'll absolutely update the FAQ and make pricing more transparent on the site since totally agree with you that it needs to be very transparent.
Allowing yourself to engage in immoral/shady activity just because your competitor is doing it actually helps your competitor by legitimizing their methods, it's an endless cycle of "but they did it first".
huh? I use to download subtitles in VLC through built in VLsub via opensubtitles and nobody ask me for any login/pwd and I download A LOT of subs, sometimes even 5-10 to try with some releases

now on the website I would hit the limit very fast, but through VLsub it's essentially unlimited
Ostrich also evolved from the dinosaurs and has its own unique taste. I bet it varied though probably the range of bird meat tastes is a good place to put our first guesses.
Do you want me to write a full, detailed policy? Or can you just use some common sense?
Actually he should have discussed it with others in the company as he went, given that chance has passed... Sans your hyperbole, that is indeed what I am saying. OP most certainly should discuss how he is executing his job with his employer, if they say it's fine, cool... but that should be their choice, business does not happen in a vacuum, it's a team of people working together. He's taking it upon himself to decide what work needs to be done for the business, that's unfair to the rest of the team.
A variant of this hell is described, sort of, in Iain M Banks’ book Surface detail. Recommended.
I was in your position at the start of the pandemic. I personally think I wasted a lot of time doing side projects and hackathons when they didn’t seem to matter that much, I got way more interviewers when I put a few part time jobs at school and a non profit on my resume than I ever got off side projects. I applied to around 200 companies and got an interview with around 5 of them (one of them ended up being an internship at a FANG where I now work full time).

In my opinion you should try to apply to as many jobs as possible every day and by as many as possible I mean 15-20. Dont bother with a cover letter I never got a interview for any of the applications where I wrote a cover letter and demonstrated “interest and value” like you’ll read online.

I also recommend that even though it sounds like you’re in your last year you should also apply to internships at the big tech companies. I applied to around 140 companies in my senior year and got rejected by all the full time positions but got accepted into a FANG internship after I graduated its the best way to get into a FANG (if thats your goal).

The other thing I recommend is focusing on leetcode as much as possible.

Also for new grad positions they are mostly looking for keywords relating to the languages they mention in the job posting to be explicitly in your resume. I recommend taking some time to use some standard resume format and make sure your resume is written with bullets that are in the “i accomplished x as measured by Y by doing Z” format. Make sure whatever you say in Z matches the keywords in the job postings you are applying to. Also a small tip is that if you apply in the morning it does seem more likely that a human will read your resume.

Also one other thing I will add, referrals really do make a difference. My friend was a low level IT contractor at a FANG and he gave me a referral and out of 10 applications only the one he referred me for ended up getting an interview for me.
This was my first thought. "Oh no".
Nuke

I’m personally a huge fan that the most destructive device in human history can can be thrown around in conversation simply, as a four letter word, and as simply as one would refer to a “book” as being a good source inspiration, or “coke” as being a delicious beverage. Yes, a “nuke” can be inspirationally delicious comparison for destruction.

Perhaps comparisons to “nukes” should be reserved to their “human impact”, and not simply their “big boom” factor. I’m sure victims of nuclear weapons, and unfortunate locals of nuclear test sites would agree.

Say, it’s likely more accurate to say “That TikTok went nuclear”, than any comparisons of an explosion or eruption to a “nuke”.
interesting, didn't know that! can you point me to those resources to learn more, please? fascinating topic for me.
> You're wrong about the EU, the setup you're talking about is long gone

Sure, the EU might have more authority than you would like, or more than it used to, but 'government' has a specific meaning - and the EU is not that.

The EU doesn't have a monopoly on the use of force. It can make regulations, and countries may follow them for whatever reason, but ultimately their regulations have no more intrinsic force than me saying "I command that everyone wear clogs on the bus".

I can see that your comment tries to trace the EU's regulations back down to some meaningful authority over the sovereign countries, and stops at 'made to pay fines in an EU court'. 'Made' is doing a lot of work here. There is nothing 'making' the countries pay those fines, besides a desire to stay on good terms within the EU.

Again, I too can issue the country of Italy a fine, and they may even choose to pay it if they sufficiently value their relationship with me, but that doesn't represent legal authority. Compare it with what happened to southern states during Reconstruction, or in the 1960s when they tried to refuse the federal government's directive to integrate schools. Indeed, compare Brexit with the American Civil War. Monopoly on the use of force within a certain territory.

This is a fascinating topic, and a very subtle one, but it's more interesting to think about if you go at it without an axe to grind.

> I'm Czech, not American. My native language doesn't use "the" or "a" at all. I'll watch my English better.

Ah, fair enough. It's mostly Americans who do it, and they have no such excuse, haha.
Neat! I'm surprised that I to get only get quoted round full dollar prices for Lyft, whereas Uber shows price down to the cents, e.g. $12,37. Is this a restriction of the APIs? Or does Lyft really only charge full dollar prices?
Bitwarden for me. I've been using 1Password from around 2013 I think. I didn't buy into their subscription model so they've been gouging me with difficulties and cost in buying upgrades for a few years.

Apparently they have 500 members of staff these days, and millions and millions of investor dollars. Apart from maintaining browser extensions, for my own personal use I've not noticed a single interesting feature in recent years.

I moved to Bitwarden when the electron thing was announced, haven't paid any subscription yet and seem to have all the features I used before in 1Password. Bitwarden is very much recommended and I wouldn't recommend 1Password to anyone these days.
Seems like this has the potential for a high rate of false positives. If I were a recruiter typing out personal messages, I'd still likely copy and paste the name just to be sure I got it right.
> how would you even begin to drive webmaster adoption?

"If your users use 1password, they won't keep forgetting their passwords (causing frustration and support burden) and won't use weak passwords that result in account takeovers (support and eng burden). Plus, you and your users won't be beholden to the whims of fb or Google".

Just one idea.
I would argue that every technology presentation he has done is, in fact, a masterclass on how to give technology presentations.
Years ago, I remember using GA on a project. Was unhappy with GA's realtime availability, so we wrote our own backend for it and stored all the analytics on our own infrastructure.

Worked without any real issues. Didn't have to stop using GA on the frontend, either. Just had to point the frontend GA at our own endpoint.

Theoretically, this would make usage of GA compliant with GDPR, too, I beleive.
Yeah, for reference the median household income in the US is under $70k. Of course cost of living depends a lot on the locality, but 90k as a single person goes pretty far anywhere other than the Bay Area, NYC, or a few other expensive hubs.
Do the FCC and FAA just not talk to each other? How was this missed?
I can't remember a company that has served individuals and enterprises simultaeneously without one side getting a compromised offering.

One of the things I like about Apple is they don't really pander to the enterprise. They won't turn the business away but you can see it isn't a priority.
The side-hustle culture is a cancer.
> delivering additional value for his employer for which he must insist on additional compensation

Good luck with that.

/r/antiwork is a societal response to this exact sentiment. "Oh make a decent amount more than the national average and still cant afford to retire? Simple, monetize what little free time you have left!"

No, the requirement for a side-hustle is due to the decades of upper management and C-levels taking advantage of employees and leading the stagnation of wages.

The solution to a systemic issue is a systemic solution. The personal responsibility solutions are just a distraction.

Good on the op for getting back some of his time.
Sure, if you have unlimited budget to build those interceptors and the associated launch platforms. These are extremely complex and expensive weapons which no country is able to mass produce.
I'm not so sure. Think of the way OkCupid works: you fill out a bunch of questions and what you're looking for, and an algorithm creates matches. You can of course unilaterally send messages to whomever, but those people don't have to read the messages, they can just look at their algorithmic matches.

If the recruiter puts inaccurate information in the job listing to try to skew the algorithmic match, it actually wouldn't work; their overly-broad job requirements wouldn't be a fit for your more specific list of tech, so it would show up as a poor match. Only candidates and job listings that have very close requirements/provides would show strong matches. In other words, recruiters are not sending you some tailored thing; they can only create job listings, and the matches only show up to you if they happen to match what you list.

You could also add privacy protections so that recruiters actually can't see your profile at all until you click on a job that you like. You still see the matches and recommendations in your e-mail, so they don't even have to reach out to you. A lot of job sites already do this (automatically recommending you to one or more jobs via e-mail) but they don't have the deep profile data we could compose with questions about more than just tech.
Not really, no. You have to actually have acceptable ads (with a pretty reasonable list of requirements) and then may or may not pay some amount to have that verified.

Seems pretty much in line with food labeled as "organic" or "fair trade". You can say you meet the requirements, but if you want to advertise it somebody else certifies it.
The cost of a password manager is effectively 0 dollars for a company, so if they charge "more" than others it makes no difference.

So far one issue has been getting one's hands on mining hardware in a reliable way, I think. Yesterday I heard Intel wants to offer mining hardware, so that could perhaps make it easier to install a miner in your wind farm or whatever.
Really?

I mean, I have 1password for work, and Bitwarden for personal..

Spot the difference: https://imgur.com/a/wJQBDjV
I don't think so. Humans are pretty good at keeping in sync with one another. This story and most on antiwork are likely fake and people are just keeping in sync to play reddits upvote game.
"By staying silent he is denying the business the ability to optimize it's cogs, and therefore effectively stealing for the business."

That's not how the law works either. If employee A, B and C all have different processes to do the same task and employee A is faster than the other 2, employee A is not stealing and neither are the other 2.
To be completely clear LAPD/LASD are corrupt criminal gangs outside of this whole train thing.
The detail is quite interesting. The Austrian interpretation seems to hinge on the US intelligence agencies having access to data as a third-party at any time because their surveillance laws are so broad and the fact that UUIDs are being used between cookies and therefore the anonymised data is actually not very anonymous if you slurp data like the NSA and can combine that with IPs addresses.

We haven't confirmed whether we'll be able to get the intraday data from another source, hopefully we'll have most of them starting from 2010 at the latest. If that's not possible then it'll have to be since our launch date. But having several years is a high priority.
Generic backend is wonderful news!

As it happens SQLite added some of the machinery from fossil for no-copy tables and changesets as an optional extension. I mention this because it gives me hope that I might cobble something efficient together in SQLite, I could offer a few reasons I'm glad Sanakirja exists aside from pijul and the advantage to your project of being able to tweak both sides of the system is compelling.

Congratulations again on the beta. Doing hard and basic work for years is to be commended.

I cannot and it's widely known how they ruin thing with example after example. I'm sure some VC has helped a few people inadvertently along the way (although it was likely the founders, to the chagrin of the investors, that did anything positive). The VC business is to make money, no matter how shitty they make things, by blowing them up or letting them die, they don't care for anything else, why would they.

I would think most people view YC more in line with the Angel round, which is an entirely different view point; Angel's are actual helpful people who did something on their own to achieve success (not poser VCs) and/or are mentors and coaches who want to give back, but it's unfortunate that people need to go beyond angel to VC, and the expectation from the angels is that you must or they won't make their money.

Just because we are on a YC forum doesn't mean we have to suck the industry's dick.
Skimming through their jobs board. Their are approx 100 "talent acquisition" roles open. Engineering is like 20 roles. What the hell are they going to do with so many recruiters?
I agree, I'm not saying things were necessarily better then.
You say Evernote, I say Jira.
OP doesn't realize that 87% of the US population (being one of the richest in the world) makes less than $90k.

That means that by his view 9 persons out of 10 won't be able to retire. Which I actually believe is true.

The irony of admitting this while at the same time praising this system with statements like

>Part (by no means all) of the growth one sees abroad is due to acceptance and often positive attitudes about work, with less emphasis on "fairness".

What kind of growth are we seeing? Why should we have a positive attitude about work, when it's just a mean of transfering wealth upwards?
It would help if Android / iOS made network access a permission that can be turned off. The very thought leaves them shaking in their boots though.

It should be made clear to users which apps are using the network connection.
HN comments have become increasingly more retarded over the past few years. Sadly it’s not for “hackers” (though it’s debatable that it ever was)
I don't think the problem is with capital writ large, but rather the perverse influence of capital incentives as applied to a personal security product.

The value one gains from a personal security product (data portability, availability, accessibility) is often at odds with the interests of capital, which lean towards moat construction and rent-seeking. Over time, in a for-profit company, capital will always "win". Trading equity for other peoples' cash investments only accelerates the process.

For an adjacent example, LastPass never took a dime of VC money (afaict), but their structure as a for-profit company pushed them to lock down their product and charge rents, where they had not previously. If they had taken VC money or went public instead, it may have delayed the inevitable, but it only would have been a delay, not a solution.

People in this thread are disappointed, because these companies began their lives with a compelling, free, and user-empowering invitation, and it is sad (although not at all unpredictable) to see those features taken away by the incentives of capital. I think it's understandable, and I wouldn't read it as an indictment of VC writ large.
As a parent, I can’t believe this got funded by YC.

> We started working on this idea when, shortly after college, the three of us had a conversation about our childhoods

I think actually being a parent is a pretty important qualifier before trying to make an app that involves the parent/child relationship.

So many things unsettling about this idea that I think would have been shot down by founders with kids.

Sorry, but either get a founder/CEO that’s a parent or pivot to a market that you understand at a deep level.
Either way, point stands: there are industrial processes that are very carbon-intensive in ways that are difficult to replace with electrical power. Carbon-capture in the exhaust system sounds like an excellent solution for these.
He didn't compare WhatsApp to airbags. A meta-statement S[X] was instantiated by antropodie with X=WhatsApp, and separately instantiated by missedthecue with X=airbags. So far there has not been any logical judgment relating the two, beyond them both being instantiations of S.

S is the target, not S[X] for either instantiation.
I automated the most time-consuming tasks of my job about a year after I joined the company.

Instead of sitting back and gloating about it on social media, I used the extra time to take on additional projects and to help other departments in order to increase my value to the company.

When the COVID cuts came, I was labeled "essential" staff. So while the rest of my department was downsized from over 50 people to fewer than 10, I was able to keep my job.

I'm glad I took the high road.
Mine's white as well which definitely helps the spousal approval factor. Our gas dryer is newer, probably early 2000s, but similar level of technology. I took it apart last year because it was running indefinitely without heating, replaced a $12 solenoid, and vacuumed lint out of everything.

The dryer isn't that heavy and there's always a few on Craigslist, so I'm not worried about replacing it with a similar (used!) unit if I have to, but the 225lb washer is staying in that basement as long as I can keep it going.
MUST is a strong word. I would rather not have pijul handling wildcards in Command Prompt. After all, who uses Command Prompt nowadays, when WSL2 and PowerShell are available at the + button in Windows Terminal.
A traditional side-hustle wouldn't be for the same employer (or any at all).
