the stories are written in ways to suggest that companies everywhere are gutted by employees leaving in bulk. I feel like “great resignation” was deliberately chosen to mislead people into thinking people are just walking out of their jobs

Yes, I think this is driven by corporate friendly mainstream media to mostly drum up for support for more corporate welfare while simultaneously painting Americans as lazy and undeserving of welfare themselves.

There's a lot going on:

- Boomers, a huge part of the workforce, are beginning to retire, and they aren't coming back

- The US is near full employment [0]. As such, workers have more power. They can "resign" and go somewhere else relatively easily, or they don't have to take poor jobs

- If a business closes right now due to lack of workers, the owner might make the claim that Americans are just lazy & don't want to work, and corporate friendly media might push that idea. However, remember, we're at a time when we're approaching full employment. The business likely wasn't attractive to workers. So is it really the (lack of) workers' fault? Or was the business just poorly run? It's hard to admit that, and easy to blame others. It's OK for businesses to fail, though. Most do.

I think it's really a matter of perspective. If you're used to having a lot of workers (some of whom don't have the luxury of looking for a good job and need to take any job they can get, just to qualify for stuff like food assistance) fighting each other for the same job, so you're able to pay them less, this is a bad situation. If you're a worker who now has many employers vying for your talents, it's a good situation, but you rarely see that story being told in the corporate media.

> but leave your stuff in storage for two years -- the appliances won't work here anyhow.

I wonder if anyone in the US has converted their house to European appliances. The voltage is close enough, converting an entire house over to using 240V on all circuits is a trivial change, the hard part would be swapping all the plugs for European ones. And the frequency is probably the biggest part, but I'm unsure how big a difference 50Hz vs 60Hz makes with modern appliances.

I just find the thought kind of amusing. In a country this size I'm betting at least one person has done it. People are nuts.
> it contained "truth doesn't matter, only victory". That's offensive as fuck

Only in the context of knowing it came from Hitler. Without that information it isn't more than a strong opinion - because it isn't explicitly linked to murder/genocide.
In Italy public healthcare provides everything, even dentist, but waiting list are really, really long. Obvisosly, an emergency is managed immediately (a broken bone will be fixed immediately at no cost without asking anything), also cancer and health issues with tight time constraint, for everything else not urgent you have to wait, sometimes a lot. Also health care quality is a lot different from place to place, in north Italy is quite good, in other places not at all. There's a lot of national "health turism", as we call it, people moving for hundreds of km, usually from south to north Italy, to find a better health care.
So, if you want/need to "skip the line", you have to pay private healthcare, otherwise you wait, if you are lucky a few days, if not also more than a year. For my last medical examination to my eyes, nothing serious, just a check, I wait about a month. Of course, COVID pandemic aside.

That's the problem. You get "impressions" and those impressions are inaccurate to a degree that is completely off base.

>I can clearly see it from how we "understand" each other.

More illogical thinking. Imagine this simple scenario: Two people from the same culture, misunderstanding each other. Is this scenario possible? Two people from the same culture CAN misunderstand each other. Just because you think I misunderstand you or you misunderstand me doesn't mean we're from a different culture.

Please be more rational.

>As for the rest of your message - Have a nice day.

Nah. You're lying. You're just pretending to be above it all. Typical. You don't want me to have a nice day, in fact you dislike me. Just be plain honest about it. You dislike my opinions and you took emotional offense to me stating the truth about your character.
It is more than bizarre, it is a little scary.

Looking through the various dystopian fics, films, whatever, they all started as someone's utopia. Somebody out there thought this was a great idea. And like most great ideas you will have disagreement, which must be dealt with, because it's a great idea. Can't have the nay-saying. And the transformation to dystopia begins.

Just as an example from the article, a lot of the policy and planning around the pandemic assumed almost total compliance. This is not a reasonable assumption.
A lot of brewers will admit that if your beer doesnt turnout the way you want you a trick is tossing in a ton of hops and making it an IPA. Once you get used to doing that you become a brewery that only makes IPA.

It does seem to have swung back a bit over the last few years though. I find people are looking for, "drinkability" over "hoppyness" but that's obviously anticdata.

Sci-fi authors get to do whatever sci-fi authors wants to do. If the author of this hit piece has a problem with that then maybe the author should be writing science fiction that exemplifies what is apparently now required of it according to his new rules.

Or maybe he should just go back to reading some Nevil Shute or some Walter M Miller if he thinks science fiction is so optimistic across the board.
At the bottom, wages haven't kept up with inflation. They haven't even kept up with the cost of rent.

Most of us here on HN are engineers and our salaries have grown much faster than inflation.

>Its one of the reasons your country is such a shithole not only for those who live there

This is purely inflammatory rhetoric. Ironically coming from someone who immigrated, was afforded the opportunity to make enough to pay $2M in taxes in 15 years (and even goes on to brag about this payment funding blowing up brown kids), and found the "American Dream" by his own statement.

You're free to hate America. We're free to be happy you left. But really you're gone, just go on enjoying your life. America isn't perfect and has a lot of problems but I'm much happier here than I would be in Europe, it's definitely not a "shithole" to me, my family, or most of the people I know.
>the fact that the USA is the worlds #1 cause of terror, war and torment - in countless other sovereign nations,

Pax Americana has been the most productive time in modern history. Europe's track record is objectively worse
I think you're correct, but I would add that inflation (not sure if you meant to imply that was part of the pandemic) has forced people to take higher risks as well.

While in the past an employee may have tolerated below market wages in exchange for the stability (safety) provided by staying still, inflation and its effects have forced their hand. Food, gas, childcare, housing, transportation, etc... have all increased to the point that they've had to make bolder decisions. And that includes looking for better jobs (wages, benefits, work/life balance).
Land wise the US is enormous, yes. But given the topic at hand, when discussing “car-centric” and “sprawling” metro areas, LA isn’t that distinct in that regard. And there are a large percentage of Americans that live in one of them.
When you consider all the add ons like healthcare, living costs, exchange rate, etc, the salary differences are no longer that off. In a calculation i did once with some co worker it ended up with a. $10k difference. And considering that the US culture is consume driven, that money is gone in seconds for crap.
“High technology within broken human systems” is how I’d describe much “cyberpunk” writing. Reading tons of it as a younger person has made the present feel eerily familiar.

The most unrealistic part of most science fiction for me are not the warp drives and teleporters, but the human civilization that has found its way to post-scarcity.
> Social skills are an important work skill. Describing it as "high school like" is ironically childish I think.

I was describing a kind of social atmosphere, not saying that any social interaction at work is childish.
Couldn't you argue the disproportionate number of black people being stuck in lead-filled houses is still an example of some sort of oppression? It's not like black people who were shopping for their houses said "Gee, I'd sure like my kids to have lead poisoning."

Where can I read more about this?

I suspect the deviation would most largely result from the parameters of a given test itself. Redefining the test content, subject matter, test environments, conditions, and/or other factors may grow or shrink that gap. If that is so there is cause for research to determine why certain test factors are preferential and if removing such preferential factors does/does not result in higher quality student performance.
> Some of the difference is due to Safari being a bad browser (probably intentional), but a bigger part is that only having one thread makes it really difficult to have a responsive UI

Interestingly Safari is actually generally better than other browsers for running a responsive smooth UI. Not sure how much of that is the Safari engine and how much of it is better CPU on iPhones. But even on a first generation iPad or an iPhone 4 it was possible to get 60fps rendering fairly easily. The same could not be said for even higher end android phones of the time.
in ~2005 whilst I was the IT manager at Lckheed Martin's RFID division - we were implementing TLS on Exchange for all email... among other security measures...

We had a compromised machine (linux) and had to un-plug it...

BUT

On the security calls was an interesting conversation about the Chinese infiltration of Lockheed.

Lockheed, had at the time, only (3) three egress connects to the internet.

The chinese did the following:

1. They did phishing attacks on those who worked at Lockheed + plus their orbit who attended various conferences and events... giving them seemingly valid contact info (business cards and such) of their agents who also attended said events.

2. Would email the Lockheed Targets and in the emails contain links to military phishing links which would install malware on said target's machine...

3. Would trickle out data so as not to be exposed...

4. Would attack known international suppliers of Lockheed's sub-components through air-gap measures (meaning that Lockheed epoxied USB ports in machines and suppliers were (ironically) then required to transfer data via USB sticks... and China was infecting the machine which the supplier was loading the USB sticks with such to infect Lockheed employees once they received and connected said sticks...

How this was discovered:

Lockheed employees bitches about machine being slow. Investigation ensues and the trickle malware is discovered;

The chinese know they have been discovered and they open the floodgates on all their bots within Lockheed...

HUGE firehose...

Lockheed had to shut down all three egress until resolution...

Yeah, china is in EVERYTHING.

Hi HN, We’re Johan and Nuno from Nhost (https://nhost.io). Nhost is building a backend service (like Firebase) with open-source software: SQL Database (Postgres), GraphQL API (Hasura), Auth, Storage, and Serverless Functions.

We previously launched here on HN in October 2020 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24929732) and we’re now releasing Nhost v2.

The reason we decided to build this new version of Nhost was that we found ourselves in a corner with some of the technical decisions we took early on. Unless we got out of it, we would not be able to progress with the product the way we want.

One limitation was that we had the `users` table in the `public` schema, making it very hard to push upgrades to our authentication service related to schema changes. With Nhost v2 the `users` table is moved the `auth` schema.

A second limitation was that we had two permission systems. One for file storage and one for GraphQL. In Nhost v2, all permissions are handled by Hasura - making Hasura the central place for permissions both for data and files.

The third limitation (the last one we’ll bring up here) was our infrastructure running on Digital Ocean. Every project was simply created with a docker-compose file and all projects were spread out on multiple VMs with no way of scaling individual projects. This setup forced us to say no to some bigger customers. With Nhost v2 we’re on AWS and we’re using a combination of AWS RDS, AWS EKS and AWS Lambda to host projects which have enabled us to scale our customer’s backends.

These are some of the updates we’ve made with Nhost v2. You can read about the other updates in the blog post.

Nhost v2 also comes with a free tier (instead of the 14 day trial we had before)!

We look forward to hearing your feedback and answering any questions you may have. Thank you :)

PS. The reason we say “inspired by Netlify and Vercel” is because we have a GitHub integration so you can use our CLI to develop locally (database migrations are automatically tracked). Every time you push to GitHub, Nhost automatically deploys your backend.
By pillaging they mean, “offering workers good wages for remote work” I’m not sure this is a bad thing. Talent pool increases. Good thing. Higher pay for workers. Good thing.

> Anything else is wasteful.

Everything has a cost. If the developer is a slave to machine architecture, development is slow and error prone. If the machine is a slave to a abstraction, everything will run slowly. Unsurprisingly, the real trick is finding appropriate balance for your situation.

Of course you can make things worse, in both directions.

> I for one am sick of 'developer productivity' being the excuse for why my goddamned supercomputer crawls when performing tasks that were trivial even on hardware 15 years older.

The problem here is developer salaries. So long as developers are as expensive as they are the incentive will be to optimise for developer productivity over runtime efficiency.
A lot of the world is also thrilled with the defense support provided to them by the US. We don't remain in countries like Germany, Italy, Greece, Spain, etc by force. We do so because they couldn't defend themselves without us and they know it - so they request our presence. A lot of these allied nations are participating in those very wars you complain about, but naturally their involvement is usually much smaller since they lack the infrastructure to compete with the US.

When you say "a lot of the world" you really talking about a very specific subset of the world, while there is also much of the world grateful for our presence as we are the only real deterrent from NK, Russia, or China taking their country by force. Feel free to deny or say that I'm "othering" or am perpetuating a boogey-man, but there is very real data and intelligence to support these claims, I'm not just pulling it out of my ass.

I had never heard of Bolt before today that I can remember but since I'm woking on a project that needs CC processing (it has Stripe currently, I'm moving to another provider) I was interested. I looked at their website and immediately felt like it wasn't aimed at me. I don't care about 1-click anything, I want to know about how to use this, api calls, how to capture an auth, etc. I see the developer menu item and I click on "Get Started". Immediately I'm shown a list of plugins for CRM/e-commerce-type tools which, and maybe this is elitist, but that's turn off for me. Don't get me wrong I cut my chops on WP/Drupal and the like but it been a long time and I want docs with an API call to charge a card or similar. I see the "API" and "SDK" in the sidebar and check both out. API docs are swagger, that's fine, but it's not clear at all and the "workflow" to charge a card is. I go look at "SDK" and they only have an iOS SDK, is this a joke? Not to mention that it looks like you need to bring your own payment processor [0] and "The processor implementation timelines average 2-4 weeks.", at this point you are better off talking directly to someone like First Data. Let's not get started on the apparent "contact us for pricing".

Bottom line: Bolt is completely uninteresting to me as a developer and the creator sounds like sour grapes in his twitter tirade. I'm glad to be moving off Stripe for way cheaper processing but I love their docs, dashboard, etc and I'll miss it. Bolt would have been discarded as not a serious competitor almost immediately had I seen it back when I first integrated with Stripe. In fact, they seem to provide something 100% different to Stripe and even have Stripe as a payment processor.

A decade ago, an article [1] was published in the Russian "Hacker" magazine where the author alleged that a Russian OEM manufacturer's motherboard sourced from China had a BMC chip (which should've been disabled as per the mobo spec) inject a hypervisor into the host machine.

It was, again, allegedly, discovered because the author was developing some kind of distributed computing software that required a hypervisor of its own, and this exact mobo was crashing in a way that was consistent with a hypervisor being already present. The author goes further to describe how he devised a way to consistently detect hypervisors by measuring platform register access timings, and tried to report the findings to the FSB (Russian CIA/FBI) to no avail.

I personally don't put much stock in the story, as the magazine was a rag and I could come up with something like that at the time, but there it is.

Yup. I was working in recruiting during the early part of the pandemic, and it felt stupid reaching out to people.

Who knows what could go wrong and next thing you know you don't have healthcare or unemployment during a global pandemic.
