That's another discussion altogether. I agree Gemini is too limited, and I said as much in another comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30069716

The fact that Gemini is not what I want does not invalidate the opinion that the web is broken, and Gemini provides answers for that in its niche. Likewise, other people wanting other things doesn't invalidate anything. We don't exactly have to choose one technology and solve all the world's problems with it. I'm ok with Gemini being what it is and I'm not pretending it is (nor should it be) everything for everyone. It's not much for me, but it's something.
Hi hn!

Early hires are so crucial in a startup. I've made dozens of interview loops to try and tease out the people who will raise the bar but honestly it just made for longer interviews with about the same mis-hire rate. When I was hiring for my last two startups, I added a simple check to our interview loops: "Were they clear and did they provide good energy". Our mis-hire rate dropped. I wrote this to talk more about how I got there and start a discussion!
I think you have an overly restrictive understanding of science fiction.

The Martian deals with [...] advanced science and technology and space exploration and getting people alive to mars is definitely future rather than current technology.

There's also a rich tradition of near-future science fiction, e.g. [Halting state](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_State) was published in 2007; features such advanced technology as smart phones, augmented reality, and cloud computing; and is categorised as science fiction on wikipedia, and I assume in basically any bookseller's cataloging system.
This is a misrepresentation of the actual NYT claim:

> “The fact that we are no longer offering behavioral targeting options in Europe does not seem to be in the way of what advertisers want to do with us,” he said. “The desirability of a brand may be stronger than the targeting capabilities. We have not been impacted from a revenue standpoint, and, on the contrary, our digital advertising business continues to grow nicely.”

which was more or less that switching didn't make revenue drop, and it was still growing over time. They didn't see some magic bump from switching to contextual ads.

If they did, you'd of course wonder why they haven't proactively switched US ads to contextual.
I guess my point is more that I don't think it's actually that common for people to say they want to defund the police but not mean it.

I was thinking more of a case like this: If someone is already outraged about police brutality and they see that a "defund the police" rally is happening, there's a greater chance they'll go as it offers them an opportunity to express their general dissatisfaction with the police regardless of whether they agree 100% with the specific ideology of the organizer. When the headline the next day reads "10000 Attend Defund the Police Rally", this leads to the perception that 10000 people believe in defunding the police when the actual number is much smaller
"Corruption index" is a western scam. The US is one of the most corrupt countries in the world but the billions (maybe trillions now?) of dollars per annum of corrupt activity is considered legal if structured in specific ways. No serious person believes those rankings.
Ohh I see. I should probably delete my comment then. I thought the OP meant that Deno enforces the use of Typescript like Angular does. That makes a lot more sense, thanks for the explanation.

No that’s not how it works. Infact, you can get a margin loan at 0.75% interest from ibkr if you hold more than 50k usd of stock for half of its value.

Of course, if that value drops you’ll get margin called for more collateral
I think a few industries are having an outsized effect on the stats, starting with hospitals.

>Of course, that doesn’t make sense because the employees are being hired at other companies.

I don't think this is a valid assumption. I know a lot of people shifting from dual income families to one parent staying at home with the kids. Even more wanting to go from full time to part time positions.

The local regional/ trauma 2 hospital had (admittedly) lost more than 50% of nurses in a year, (unofficially) replaced fewer than half of those, and that was before any of the vaccine mandates were announced or deadlines set.

Vaccine politics have silenced them since then, but work shifts that were already understaffed at the start of covid with 1 MD, 2-3 mid-levels, and 6-8 nurses are still regularly making due with as little as 1 MD and 2 nurses.

Obviously nurses are a special case given... the state of things over the past 2 years. But those numbers are just absurd, even as an outlier.

I think assuming any sort of (near) net-zero shift in staffing is going to be wrong, be it within a particular office, business, profession, industry, or geographic area.

It was never about black lives either. If it was then they would care about the black on black violence in Chicago, for example. BLM is a marxist, anti American, anti nuclear family organization. It was all clearly and openly stated on their website.
> That's just moving goal posts.

It's not, I just didn't specify it because for me it's logical, I highly doubt OP wants to move to Belarus, but yeah go ahead and pick the absolute poorest and least likely countries anyone would immigrate to when they say "Europe" and tell me about moving goal posts ...

"average", "money", yeah sure, the average american probably make more money. And yes you're right, the poorest Americans make more money than the poorest Europeans, but money isn't all. Otherwise nobody would ever complain, they'd be as happy than Norway, which is obviously not the case. https://fee.org/articles/the-poorest-20-of-americans-are-ric...

If quality of life = being able to afford material goods then sure, but I guess that's were Europeans see the world in a different way. I'll take min wage, job security, healthcare, free education, more vacation days, paid sick leaves, paid parental leaves, guaranteed minimum incomes, &c. If you're a min wage worker in the EU you have a much less stressful life than in the US, it's not even comparable. They're at least half a century late in term of social/workers right
> The internet has always stretched through many different legal jurisdictions.

Back in the early days this wasn't a problem in practice because internet-based entities were operating in good faith, so even if the legal landscape was murky, nobody had a need to resort to it. This has now changed as companies are now acting in bad faith doing things many find reprehensible, and a legal precedent and/or a change in law is needed to effectively deal with those bad actors.
So, you're actually bumping up against a long-running split in left-wing politics between left-libertarian Anarchists and left-authoritarian Socialists.

The Socialist argument is that profit motives are fundamentally exploitative of workers, and that ownership over the means of production should be in the hands of people who work there. The reason why capitalism is bad is because it enables a privileged few to not work, by making other people do their jobs for them. This is why most Socialist law considers "social parasitism" to be a crime: work is a virtue.

The Anarchist argument is that work itself is the exploitation and that we should strive to reduce it wherever possible. The reason why capitalism[0] is bad is because it creates bullshit jobs that don't need to exist, not just that the workers aren't getting paid enough to do those bullshit jobs.

A good way to remember this is that Socialists gave us labor unions, while Anarchists gave us the 9-to-5 work day.

What seems to have happened is that /r/antiwork started off as strictly left-libertarian, and then gradually expanded to the sort of vague Internet Leftist consensus that we see today. This is a particular brand of left-populism that likes to use the word "socialism" a lot, despite promoting policies more akin to social democrats. There's an annoying quirk of populism (either side) in which they get drunk off justice porn and extremism and don't actually form a coherent political platform. It's one thing to say "I hate capitalism", and another thing to actually propose a workable reform or replacement. Reddit is particularly bad at this as the karma system encourages "content consumption" - i.e. the production of low-effort memes because that's what people upvote immediately. In a way, gaming Reddit itself is it's own bullshit job.

[0] I should point out that Anarchists do not restrict their criticism to merely capitalism but all forms of coercive power, up to and including Socialism as I have defined it here, as well as the Communism that the Soviet Union implemented. "Work is a virtue" is something shared across capitalism and Socialism alike.

Can people who feel similar share what metadata do they miss the most? Maybe I'm a caveman, but I feel mostly satisfied with artist/title/album, plus maybe the year at most. I came to use filesystem directories for genre/mood tagging and then also artist/album obviously. It's crude, but usable and easily portable. I'm not claiming this is all one can wish for, but I'm curious.

For this kind of library I found Audacious (minimalistic, supports Winamp skins) and QMPlay 2 to be good. The latter supports and remembers your folder tree, has a very cool widget system and can be also used for videos (music or otherwise).

Looking a little more into France's question:

I found this article:

"White lead pigment in paint had been recognized as toxic and restricted since 1915; it had been banned from professional use since 1926 and from craft work since 1948."[0]

Wikipedia's citation[1] does appear to be a delcaration from 1909 stating:
"ART. 2. - A l'expiration de la cinquième année qui suivra la promulgation de la présente loi, l'emploi de la céruse, de l'huile de lin plombifère et de tout produit spécialisé renfermant de la céruse, sera interdit dans tous les travaux de peinture de quelque nature qu'ils soient, exécutés par les ouvriers peintres, tant à l'extérieur qu'à l'intérieur des bâtiments_"

Translated using https://www.deepl.com/translator : "ART. 2 - At the end of the fifth year following the promulgation of the present law, the use of ceruse, leaded linseed oil and any specialized product containing ceruse, will be prohibited in all painting work of any nature whatsoever, carried out by painters, both outside and inside buildings." ("ceruse" is white lead.)

This supports the 1915 (the fifth year following 1909) in the first article.

Don't worry, I'm still taking it pretty easy. I'm just not surprised when I see someone who's very successful and seems far more alert and energetic than I could possibly be without some serious uppers—mystery solved, they're very probably on some serious uppers.
Furthermore - should the user succeed in flashing CalyxOS, they will inevitably be faced at one point with something about their device that doesn't work quite right. Maybe it's tied to Google Play Services (and the g-apps shim that Calyx supports) or a banking app that won't pass the security checks and thusly, won't open.

I've not run Calyx myself, but those are issues I've personally experienced with other ROMs. If the author just wants a phone that works, this isn't the best option. I find the "is forcing me to.." a bit hyperbolic, but their point stands.
Another important lesson I want to share is that science (as most all other professions) has become corrupt and your career outcome will largely depend on who you know, who knows you, who you strike deals with, etc... disregarding your actual achievements and talent.

It would be a mistake for somebody in the current age to think of it as a meritocracy.

So, if you're a young scientist, decide if it's worth the squeeze and plan accordingly.
Can you guarantee that no one will hack Qualcomm's "blobs" tho? And if Qualcomm says "that's your problem, we only support it for 3 years", now you have millions of customers calling you a liar when you say "sorry can't fix the security issues, it's in Qualcomm's code that we don't have access to". They won't blame Qualcomm they will blame google. That's why I had real hope for Intel there for a while until they sold off their modem chip business.

If there's one "prescriptive" thing I find useful about the allegory that applies to software, it's thinking about how to write good documentation.

A lot of engineers would write something like "this fence is made of silver oak planks cut to a length of 3 feet and fastened together aluminum wire" and while that may be useful if you have to fix the fence, for the people in the allegory it would be much more helpful to have a sign that says "this fence is here to keep cows from fouling the water in the lake behind it because 5 houses nearby use it for drinking water". If either the 5 houses or the cows are no longer there, it makes the whole system much less resistant to change.
At least two things happened here:

- The pandemic gave most people an unusually-long period of time at home to help them realize all the things they could have been doing (e.g. spending more time with family, not being stuck in a commute), if only their work had not been sucking up all their time and energy.

- Income vs. expenses changed to the point where people couldn’t hope to pay off their debts even if they worked. Work has not been paying anywhere near enough. At that point, what is there to lose: if you will be swamped and in debt with work, and you will also be swamped and in debt without work, at least the 2nd option means finally not having to put up with the crap from many workplaces.

Also, it has just become clearer and clearer where all the lies were told. Society did not treat “essential” workers that way at all. There was all kinds of prioritization of bottom line over employee health, especially early on. We all assumed that governments could/would do a lot more to help. Heap on all the unfilled promises for promotions, raises, etc. and many workers just have no reason at all to give a crap anymore.
In my role as researcher and engineer, I've engaged with a lot of corporate lawyers in the patent process. The best interactions I've had have been with those that transitioned to their role from engineering.
The way TypeScript/Node does it is correct. The thing you're importing is JS with a .js extension. If you publish to npm you're publishing the JS files, not TS files. If you write .d.ts/.js pairs instead of .ts - which should be identical to importers, there's no .ts file to import.

Anarchists are, in general, a subset of socialists. You have wacky things like anarcho-capitalists, but it's difficult to take them seriously. There are some rigorous ancaps who truly believe that somehow the state is not needed to protect absentee ownership of property and that this arrangement will be a net benefit to humanity, but many of them simply think the government is the only thing stopping them from owning a zeppelin and wearing a top hat.

My god, I'd heard that Android support over time was not great, but 3 years? That's really, really short.

I'm a gadget nut, so for a long time I got a new phone every 18-24 months -- and for most of that time, the year over year gains on phones were sufficient to justify the upgrade, at least for some users.

But we're in a more mature market now. YoY updates on phones are pretty incremental. I kept my iPhone 8 for about 3 years before handing it off to my wife (who, lest you think me a jerk, absolutely DID NOT WANT to spend the money on a new phone for her), who then used it for almost 2 more years.

The phone I replaced it with is an 11Pro. I expect to get AT LEAST 3 years out of it. (What finally tempted me out of the 8 was the camera, which I assume is a common story no matter which kind of phone you like -- they got a LOT better between 2016 and 2019.)

Pixels are high-end Android handsets, right? I would have assumed that they'd have similar useful lives; I don't blame Android folks for being up in arms, because sunsetting a 3 year old handset is just BANANAS.
Huh. I just got some insecure crap from Amazon, composed a pretty scathing review about it, and they put it up:

If the value of the coin is based on the energy required to mine the coin, then surely the value won't change substantially for the PoW rebel fork, since the "real" value remains unchanged. Nobody wants to throw away their millions of dollars of GPUs. Despite the many problems with PoW, it's at least easy to see why PoW mining's output has any value of its own.

Unless the value never really was tied to the energy use in the first place, which isn't a great story for folks who want to treat the coins as anything other than speculative assets.
Advice on Bridging Cultural Gaps?
I've recently moved into a role where I'm having direct contact with peers in Japan, and I'm noticing what I'd call "cultural impedance" issues. Mostly, missteps in communication, mis-set expectations, etc.

I also feel like there are a bunch of other rules in play that I should know about, but do not have a good grasp on.

I'm wondering if there are any good books or other resources out there I can read about business communications in Japan, and how to improve how I communicate with my Japanese peers (aside from learning Japanese, which I'm pondering, but its a complex language, and seems daunting)?
Hey, this is a really interesting anecdote, you should write it up and publish as a blog post or submit it to HN.
I want to answer that Qualcomm-is-the-issue again.

You're pointing out how ridiculous it is, but let me expand:

So, as an order of magnitude, the price asked by Qualcomm for extended support is 1M$. That's 10c/device. The VoLTE license costs more than that. The H264 license costs more than that.

Also Pixel makes Android, so surely, Android can't become incompatible with older hardware because of Android, or if it does, it's Google's own doing!

There is the question of security of binary blobs for which Google doesn't have the source code, ok!

Well let's see:
- Billions (ok, maybe just hundreds of millions) of Mediatek devices have their bootrom "open". Should we stop upgrading those, because of physical access issue?
- Everyone considers 2G utterly broken, allowing downgrading attacks, thus Google gives Android 12 the possibility to disable 2G. Yet, Google "refuses" devices launched with Android 11 Treble HALs, like devices launched with Snapdragon 888, to have this "disable 2g" [1]
- Pixel 6 stayed 45 days on an """obsolete""" security patch

So, maybe we should stop saying that security is the alpha and omega, and all or nothing. It is important. Reducing our e-waste is more important.

[1] This is a weird thing, related to Treble, Google Requirement Freeze, and Vendor System Requirements, I can explain in details if anyone is interested

> nowhere near "iPhone prices" for Pinephones

iPhone SE is $399. PinePhone Pro is $399. Samsung is averaging ~$250.

> ...for almost certainly tiny numbers of sales in both cases

They're doing preorders and are regularly sold out and backordered, despite having high prices and old hardware and weird bugs. That is what high demand looks like.

Meanwhile no change to the hardware is required and Samsung could carry on selling to everyone they currently do, plus all of those people.

This whole comments section is full of people complaining about this. If you give them a choice between two otherwise fungible phones, one that has open source drivers etc. and can therefore run an up to date vanilla kernel indefinitely, why wouldn't they all choose that one?
