Whichever companies are selling data, they are not like Facebook or Google then. I'd say that they're completely different if they literally collect data and sell copies to third parties. This would be illegal in some parts of the world but sure, maybe some do it.

What I'm saying is that Facebook, Google and Samsung companies are not in the business of selling data like the common disinformation messaging would have you believe.
I would like obscure tech if it had a future - like when I thought the company would do the right thing.

I do think some companies are better than others, but I don't think any company is really good. They all lie. My company has a reputation for being great and caring. On paper it's true. For over 90% of people, that might be true. But they don't follow their own policies, screwing over a small percentage. So I think if you don't fall into that small percentage, then you just don't see it.

For example, my company says they don't compare people except for the highest rating. So you have to meet the "standards" (which are poorly defined btw). I know departments in the company where if you gave someone the highest rating, then you have to "pick" someone for a low rating.
This mirrors our experience as well.
I post my art daily on twitter; I rarely post anything just textual other than explaining why I missed a day, and I retweeted one thing from another artist who is learning from my work to help him. I refuse to use instagram/meta but so far twitter has been good to me. I look at anyone who follows me or likes a piece to see what they are doing and like anything interesting or follow. Most of my followers are artists or NFT folks plus musicians and the occasional more famous person. I pay no attention to all the BS outside of art.
Ehh... technology keeps getting more addictive, smaller, and always-online, but authority is roughly the same it always was.

I don't think we can be expected to fight a one-sided race forever. At some point you simply have to block the mind-virus games and websites which have been perfectly tailored to infect young minds.

> There are no human races.

That's mostly down to a weird quirk of English, which uses the word "race" for both ~"breed" and "species", so you can say "There are no 'races', we're all just the Human Race!". In most other languages, where "race" means only ~"breed" and not "species", that's as silly as saying "There are no 'breeds', all dogs are just the Dog Species!" Yeah, sure, but a Dachshund is quite different from a Great Dane in many ways (and, yes, of course quite similar in many more), so the statement is nonsense. They're both the Dog species, but different breeds.

Limit the word to mean only ~"breed" and it does kind of make sense for humans, too: There are definitely sub-groups of us, the members of which share many similar physical characteristics within the group and differ in these characteristics between the groups, because of long genetic isolation. If you look at it calmly you realise that's not a big problem in and of itself -- the problems come when you start claiming some of these groups are inherently superior or inferior to each other: One can admit that an African differs from an Asian, while still realising that a blanket statement saying an African is "better" than an Asian or vice versa is as silly as a blanket statement saying a Dachshund is "better" than a Great Dane or vice versa.

I'm not sure, but it often feels like this linguistic oddity makes the whole subject so much more inflamed and harder to discuss in the English-speaking world.
If you love what you're doing now and don't ever want to change jobs, great: you've reached the end of your career, even if it plays out over many decades.

Even if you love what you do and you don't want to change anything, the world around you is going to have other ideas. Especially in tech.
> wretchedly low-quality conversation

Some of the best conversations I've seen on HN spawn from these threads. They make us aware that we cannot depend on these service for mission critical things. They help us explore alternative options and allow us to share how we discovered the issue and what we did to weather the storm.

> yes, status pages are slow to change. There's good reason for that

What on earth could be the reason for that? They are the best source to tell us that people are having issues. Why not report it the second it's detected?

> how did people, especially those on "Hacker News" get so depressingly helpless?

Helpless? No - we depend on this news source to report relevant information the second it becomes relevant.
Same. I'm male, but terrible at these. It has been suggested in some research that being homosexual (like me) results in a "more female" brain. I would be interested to know if this tracks.
> The definition that's usually used in sociology involves structural power and, perhaps most importantly, white supremacy.

That is 100% american. I would advise against going to Europe, the east specifically, and claim that "you can't be racist against whites".

And to be rational systemic racism is just a subset of the concept of racism as a whole.
IA is so important at this point that it should be given special dispensation by the government, and even fully supported by tax dollars. Imagine the tragedy of it being shut down because of some busybodies at publishing houses that just want to exert control over their lending policies. Imagine 100 years from now when all history of this period is lost due to this greed and shortsightedness. $60M is nothing in the grand scheme of how important IA is for documenting our living human history.

I would categorize a senior field applications engineer to be more IC than sales. But some people move directory into sales. I don't know if this counts as steering an existing technical career or switching careers entirely.
Ask HN: Is your org preparing for Russian hacking as part of Ukrainian crisis?

It is 100% a dishonest game. You have come across as condescending and extremely pedantic every comment in this thread, focusing on the minute details of the situation and aggressively questioning the beliefs of the OP instead of being useful in any way. Go the comment somewhere else. Or better yet, go outside.
I totally understand your experience on Twitter and a lot of the comments here reflect it.

However I do not relate to your experience of it. Over the years I've curated a nice set of people to follow and I've had extremely rewarding experiences. I've learned a lot, invested in companies, received investment, all stemming from interactions I've had on Twitter.

I definitely occasionally see some of what you're talking about and it creeps into my bubble but I'm diligent about tracking down how it got there and unfollowing whoever pushed it into my field of view.

If I can be frank your post here is an example of the kind of stuff I usually push away. Fairly absolute stance with little articulation/empathy of the opposing viewpoint. Taking some of the genuinely negative behavior and implying it must be the entirety of everyone using Twitter.

Twitter tends to reflect yourself and if you're honest with yourself you'll often see that you seek out the things that upset you.
Has anyone built something like this (A service which checks the account description to verify ownership) for PlayStation Network? I know that psnprofiles have this kind of system in place, but I couldn't find a public project.
In the distant future, I hope to also develop a version for iOS. But for now, due to this being a part-time effort, I have to focus on a single platform. I've also outlined some of my reasonings here: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/markdown-layer-on-top-of-pdf/122...
the thing is literally called "porn".

> why it’s okay for the US to do business with Putin but not for the EU.

I was attempting to answer why the US imports Russian oil at all given we have production capacity to meet our needs. The wisdom and morality of doing business with Putin is another matter.
>but its about having the option to turn it off

Facebook, Samsung and Google let you turn this functionality off. They're legally required to do so in parts of the world but they give this option to everyone.
This line of thinking is the only hope of not further destroying the planet! We need renewables to replace fossil fuels ASAP.
The AMD Branch (Mis)Predictor: Just Set It and Forget It
We use Google Chat as a back up. It's always nice to see Google haven't killed it between Slack outages.
One fun thing we discovered an outage or two ago: Zoom, which is likely already on your computer too, has a very Slack-like Chat feature. Open up the Zoom app, then click the Chat icon in the top header. You probably missed it this entire time. You can make rooms, DMs, animated gifs, the works :)
I am quite happy that both sides are "too chicken" to use all the levers. Some involve putting in long strings of digits and turning keys at the same time. If the only way to survive for Russia is a full out war, we all lose.

In that sense:

Freezing outside assets might be better to convince the Russian oligarchs to find a peaceful solution: They get their assets back if they can find it. I think Putin being pressured internally by them is probably the best way out of this.

On the other hand, taking outside assets away, or impacting income streams, and a peaceful solution doesn't have the upside anymore. The assets are gone, missed income is gone, and future income is uncertain. They might then support more military action. Out of vengeance, or because they see a better future in there.
My stance is adversarial because Go has wasted an enormous amount of people's time. Not having generics was pitched as a feature, and they spent a lot of effort bragging about how fast compiles were without mentioning that this was because their optimizer was pitiful rather than some great property of the language design. They ignored just about every major development in programming language research in decades and rereleased something they'd already built before, just laundered under Google brand this time to ensure popularity.

The value of generics is obvious if you ever write your own container. Go had pre-Java-1.4 level type safety for any container not specially blessed by the creators. Prior art on how to do them without significant compile time cost was already established by Java, not even some obscure academic language. Go was dumb from the start.

> I don't think the vast majority of users would be able to notice the difference or cares that much.

Users do notice these things. They just can't explain it in technical terms like "i feel like this app is built with a non-native toolkit that is why animations are wrong".

They explain it as "this feels off" and "why doesn't it run like X" and "I don't like it" etc.
It's also like Reddit in that a huge percentage of posts are not made by genuine people with authentic motivations.
> ...doesn't offer any escape hatches for native components...

Lest anyone read this the wrong way: you absolutely can embed native components in your Flutter app. They have a scheme called "platform views" that involves splitting the scene hierarchy above and below a native component, and this is used for stuff like web views or map controls that are firmly native components which people want to drop into their app.
You might be subconsciously picking up on the fact that it's actually really creepy to build an apartment in a building you don't own.
Twitter is useful to access various communities that create and share art, and seems to be becoming the preferred platform for some of those communities. I like this - people post art they've done, a few comment on it, these arts retweet other artists, and it works well. Positive ROI for me here.

Of course I don't post anything other than comments on art.
If the TV has an Ethernet port, could you possibly disconnect the wifi card? That way you know whenever it's on the internet.

I don't know if TVs have detachable wifi cards or if they are soldered to the main board, but it might be worth a look.

Most drivers do not take their driving job seriously. We all should. As soon as we are near other drivers, our small mistakes can have big consequences. If penalties were measured by cost, driving accidents would be much more expensive. The result would be an overall increase in insurance costs and (probably) seriousness applied to driving.

But when you drive down the road, you will see people talking or texting, doing makeup, talking to passengers (with their heads turned toward the passenger, as if that's necessary!), and so on.

Small stupid mistakes cost a lot of time and materials, and sometimes physical harm.
> However, I realized the actual ROI of using Twitter is so negative,

I have a private account with about 100 lists which I step into at my own leisure. You don't get promoted tweets when viewing a list, and the signal to noise ratio is better than Twitter's 'You may like' / Topics BS. I don't use Twitter to chase fame and reject any follow requests I get since I enjoy my privacy.

Any little thoughts I have during the day are kept in my journal, not broadcasted publicly where I would probably regret tweeting it a year later.

Ban or heavily regulate advertising (such as making platforms liable for the ads they serve) so that alternative business models (such as making the user pay for the service directly) become more attractive.
>>Usually (at least in common law countries) crimes are supposed to have an element of malicious intent.

Really? You can go to jail(for a very long time) just for having some drugs on your person, or for some underage pornography on your computer. Just having those things, with "no malicious intent" is enough to sentence people to years in prison. That's in countries with common law.

>>People shouldn’t be put in prison for making honest mistakes

And he might not be, 6 months in jail is just one possible outcome - most likely he will get the 30k euro fine and a some community service.

>> It is believable that he didn’t know that it would knock out the entire town’s connectivity, or that the device would extend beyond his property

Maybe, but actually look at his setup - this isn't some $50 jammer bought off alibaba. He bought a very powerful device that affected a large area around his house - ignorance of technical details and ignorance of the law only stretches so far.
I did but I can see why it would completely go over your head.
This sounded oddly similar to my Twitter experience and then I noticed we're more or less in the same Twitter bubble
Thank you! I agree, I think there are a surprising number of people on Twitter that just want to make stuff and hang around other people that make stuff. Perhaps the loudest people are the hot-take / outrage / breaking news folks, but I just don't follow them! I follow other makers! It makes it a lot of fun.
> The Samsung 963 NVMe is an interesting device though because it has little capacitors on it that will flush the contents of that buffer when power is suddenly lost. But it still also just fills that write buffer and does not commit to disk when it said it did.

As long as it's truly "past the point of no return" I don't particularly care where the data is stored (QLC, SLC, DDR+Capacitor). I just care that the confirmation happens after the data in no longer able to be lost. I'm okay with the first 512MB getting confirmation very quickly because it's going to volatile DDR RAM on the SSD package -- I just want the hardware to guarantee that there's enough stored energy to eventually write any confirmed data. This doesn't need to have a huge impact on performance.

This goes for either a power loss event, or kernel panic. Either way, the hard disk should eventually store all confirmed data in a non-volatile way -- even if it's not yet stored non-volatile at the time of confirmation.
Look, the only comment worthwhile in the whole thread.
I deleted my account because I ended up wasting too much time using it. I do think its a great resource for direct communication for people who have messages public service providers(utilities), Politicians(local and presidential), academics, companies etc. Especially in this post-newspaper world.
The parent is correct, "corvus" is Latin for raven. The scientific name for the family of species is also derived from "corvus", but it means "raven" nevertheless. In other words, the science community named the family after the latin word for raven, not the other way around.
Sounds like a great strategy. One of the advantages is that you’re differentiated from the accounts that are feeding the hate machine. There is a hunger out there for authentic positivity, and it’s in short supply.
If you find a good niche, and develop a lot of domain expertise in that area, you can likely make it to the senior levels of an IC, even if you don't have the most super-awesome technical skills.

The trick (and of course there is a trick) is to find a narrow enough niche that you would enjoy working in, where you can get paid well, but isn't so narrow that you have very limited choices regarding who to work for.
I didn't want images to be too small, but I can give it a try, thank you!
For example, my company says they don't compare people except for the highest rating. So you have to meet the "standards" (which are poorly defined btw). I know departments in the company where if you gave someone the highest rating, then you have to "pick" someone for a low rating even if they don't deserve it. There are many other examples of them breaking their own official policies with backroom policies that screw people over.

A tech LLC won't help. The area is terrible for tech work and my expertise was in stuff that's irrelevant.
Facenook, Meta, Google and others will slowly but surely get the squeeze in any way possible. They did EVERYTHING they could to get away from privacy laws. Their sleazy attitude, they contempt for regulators "we have more money than your own country and we will litigate until you run out of money" has worked. Arrogance paid off. Until now.
The Feds did not catch the mob bosses killing or stealing but they eventually caught them and indicted them on tax evasion.
You see the same thing here. Countries will use any tool they can, and there are plenty: store the data on servers located in our country, etc...

I dimly recall trying to learn how to paint the Union flag (UK) for the Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977. I came up with a novel variation that can best be described as "strangely brown". Mind you, it was quite hard to tell the difference between it being the right way up or upside down. Just like the real one!
I tried to be like this, but consistency went out the door during COVID and daycare shutdown days when both of us also had to work.

The only detrimental effect I can think of is your kids not being accustomed to regulating their own behavior as they grow older (like say, turning 18 and going off to college if you don’t loosen the control before hand). But that is a normal parenting problem.
Feels like the "senior IC" role described in this article corresponds mainly to today's "3-5 years of experience 'senior' engineer" roles. The reality that I've seen and experienced is that advancing beyond that on an IC track means a lot more people/political work, rather than constant "hands on keyboard" coding as described in the article. It's not the same as management, but it's inevitably more meetings and evangelizing your ideas.
Peanut oil is ridiculously high in omega6s too just like seed oils.
Much like every other kind of media, it's largely in your best interests to actively avoid the stuff targeted at creating a brand or a following or a mass audience. This is not snobbery, I definitely have plenty of "low" culture interests (we all do).

But this kind of problem is also not unique or even particularly aggravated on Twitter or social media in general. Funnily enough I think it was the post-modernists like Baudrillard who first forcefully articulated this problem, but most of the time people talk about post-modernists as if they enjoy the fact that culture and politics have become dominated by symbols and simulacra. I've barely read anything on the topic, but that's my understanding.

I should add the important caveat that mass non-symbolic politics is possible, so I'm not advocating some kind of blunt "anti mob and everything 'popular' is the mob" position. But wherever you find that, it probably won't be on Twitter.
Social media execs certainly are creating harm, often knowingly. But that doesn't justify blowing up your nearest AT&T building.
I have had pretty good luck with Dart/Flutter. I needed to crank out a simple calculator and support app for one of our products. 2 weeks of work and I had something deployable starting from zero. The code IS complete crap. But that is more because I was learning the platform as I was going. iOS surprisingly was easier to get going than Android was.

I am probably going to end up using Flutter for a couple more projects. As a config tool for a bluetooth enabled product. And then I was going to abuse its web and desktop views for a local UI for another device. Not 100% sure that will go great.

But Dart has been decent to use. Once you figure out how to navigate its type system its as easy as any other language.
I build for the problem I have, not the problem I want.
I don't think NATO particularly wanted to include Ukraine, but they definitely don't want Russia to be able to dictate who is allowed to be included. Russia is aware of this, which is why in order to set the grounds for an invasion of Ukraine, they repeatedly asked NATO "please swear that you'll never let Ukraine into NATO" with the added non-starter of "remove troops from existing NATO countries". And when NATO rightfully refuses, Russia can claim that NATO is planning to expand to their doorstep.

Similarly for the EU, I don't think the EU strongly cares one way or another, but the EU cannot allow Russia to dictate who's allowed in or not. I don't think it's fair to say "the EU shouldn't let countries try to enter on the basis that Russia won't like it" and somehow it's stupid of them to allow a non-member to dictate who's allowed in.
