I use the Amazon app regularly and my phone has enough storage to fit the app more that 600 times. It's not a particularly expensive phone either.

As a dev I agree it's technically interesting to find out why, as a user I think it just doesn't matter.

I think maybe you were considering the vibrations a source of noise for compressed sensing? For CS to work well you generally want to know the convolved noise. So a super accurate accelerometer might be able to measure random vibrations and do even better when they are present than absent. Not sure if phone accelerometers are that good.

I don’t know why China is so keen on helping Russia. Is this some kind of godfather deal and they want some massive ROI from Russia once things settle down a bit? Or is this some long-term strategy “against the West”?
Thank you for your detailed feedback :)
You're not taking excess cash, you're providing them value (in the form of engineering expertise) in excess of the value you extract as a salary. That's the whole reason companies hire employees!

Unless you're advocating for getting hired in adtech and then sabotaging their projects from within while collecting a salary, but I don't think that's ethical, legal, or what you're describing...
I had Uyghur propaganda popping regulary on youtube (western europe) so I guess big tech doesn't really care.
Ask HN: Times you’ve learned something without being taught?
One moment which sticks out was when I was about 12 years old.

My parents weren’t home and the phone rang. I picked up and the person said they were trying to reach my dad. I said they weren’t home and they asked me to take down their name and number.

As they were telling me their phone number I was saying “ok” after each pause but without writing the message down.

When we were done they politely asked me to read the number back.

After stammer and saying “uh” a bunch of times, they never addressed that I was lying to them and simply restarted. I took down their name and number this time.

25 years later, I still remember the feeling I had, but looking back am most impressed that the lesson didn’t actually take any words. Perhaps it was the lack of a lesson that made it stick.
I am pretty sure that it does not matter who stole the soda - North Koreans or locals. Either way it is up to store security to catch them and hand over to police. Police may then hand NKs over to someone else, but this doesn't change what store security must do.
There are around 25 million software developers in the world. Total number of software engineers in FAANG, is around 50,000 from the published number from those companies.

So software developers just have to:

- Have the time and patience to spend weeks to months practicing
coding quizzes unrelated to their actual software engineering work...

- Pass HR teams arbitrary filter definitions of what is a good university.

- Pass the filters of random interviewers definition of cultural fit.

- Hope the experience and knowledge of these developers, intersects with the knowledge of the developers driving the interviews on the days of their onsite.

- Be able to put up with recruiters processes.

So as to eventually be hired into a bubble representing 0.2% of that software set of 25 million, and get most of their compensation in flimsy stock options.

Is that really easier or even a more interesting option, just to then spend your days maintaining the latest deluded take
of somebody else JavaScript framework? :-)

There isn't much systemic risk if they're locking in their conversion rates with providers at the time of customer transaction. The risk is in the fee structure: will they attract enough customers to actually keep the lights on with that fee? I certainly hope so, because this is so great if it ends up working as advertised.

The original argument is that it's weird private businesses have to protect themselves against state actors such as foreign governments. The equivalent would be if Walmart was expected to protect itself while a foreign governments special forces raided their stores.

Of course I'm not sure that's how it's playing out anyway, as I'm certain that the relevant three letter agencies are interested in foreign state actors digital incursions, it's just a very delicate situation and not as simple or clear cut as the Walmart example.
Big Tech cares only about your attention & money.
Hi folks,

This is a quick project I've been working on for a night or two, it lets you talk to people in your native language and then read replies from them in your language too.

It's a pretty simple webapp, the messages flow over Ably (https://ably.com) and then get translated by GCP's Cloud Translation API.

When I went to the UN I found it magical how I could talk to people in any language through the interpretation system, seamlessly avoiding any language barrier, I hoped to replicate at least some of that magic in this :)

Me neither, I think the war is bad for their interests. On the other hand Putin falling may be bad for their interests too.
It's interesting that you say that, because we've already sort of balkanized around ISPs. However, CDNs and DDOS protection popped up around services that ISPs couldn't provide. Maybe the dream is for ISPs to provide these services as well, making it more tenable for regular users to self-host.
And that's exactly how you DDOS your status server.
I honestly did not expect such unfamiliarity with a key cultural moment of the anglo world. I mean, Romanticism is what gave us Byron, Blake, Keats, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley (and his wife Mary's "Frankenstein"), the Brontes... This stuff is taught not just in all UK schools, but in pretty much any self-respecting high-school in Western Europe, so I expected I could just remind folks of it. Clearly not.

They have the advantage that the embargo is unilateral by the US. They're cut off from their closest and largest potential trading partner, but there are still relations with the rest of the world. If anything, the embargo strengthened the regime by creating a convenient scapegoat for all of its failures.

I would be totally fine with someone telling me in a one on one that they are comfortable with their current position and would like to stay there. My expectation at that point would be that we would work on growth within that position. How can we (you and I) do the best job we can maximizing your impact and output where you currently are and make you the best version of what you want to be.

Honestly, any manager who is against that isn't a good manager.

What's wrong with paid hosting? For the people who do pay for software (essentially commercial entities), the management and support are as important (if not more) than the software itself.
The code being open-source is actually a great advantage because it alleviates concerns around lock-in and vendor going under (If e.g. AWS's RDS is for some reason no longer available to us, I can still run Postgresql myself, at least until I find an alternative).

'When undersampled' -- time to get a more modern sensor?

3.76um pixels + 800mm focal length is about 1 arcsecond per pixel, so that will end up seeing limited much of the time.
Just to provide an anecdote: I sunk probably around 20k into a startup over the course of a couple years. The startup went absolutely nowhere however I learned a ton. Not only technically but about myself and time management.

That 20k turned into a new job, which I would not have been able to get otherwise, that greatly exceeded the money I spent failing.

Sometimes success is not exactly what you could have imagined.
Reasonably point. I don't think (or at the very least I hope) that my worst-case non-Armageddon scenario will happen, but I suspect that the only thing that will end the Russian occupation of Ukraine will be the fall of Putin from power. But then I'm just some schmuck who doesn't know much more than anyone else.
> performance per watt is really irrelevant.

Watts are dollars that you'll continue spending over the system life. It matters because you can only draw so many amps per rack and there will be a point when, in order to get more capacity, you'll need to build another datacenter.
I think both are possible - but if they continue destabilizing the West, who’s gonna be buying their shoddily made consumer crap?

The business model is that our costs are fixed at much lower than 3GDP, and so we can offer that price profitably.
It's win-win for them, no? A weak Russia isolated from the west means cheap resources for China. And the West focusing on the conflict and spending resources in Europe draws attention away from China in Asia. Seems like it's their interest to keep both parties in a drawn out conflict.

Though perhaps they have to balance it with how it affects the world economy.

If they force Wise to offer slow and cheap then we all win. I just checked the cost on a GBPUSD transfer, and it's 350 pounds + some kind of exchange rate cut. The difference between Wise and Atlantic is an entire ocean and I'm not convinced Wise will undermine their gravy train by trying to compete with a plucky upstart. Only if said plucky upstart becomes a billion dollar company; any by then they don't need to worry about being competed out of existence.

> Actually its pick it up, then look at it and then swipe up. That's three vs. grabbing your phone with thumb and it opens.

That's to get to the home screen, not to unlock it. To get to the home screen with a home button, you still have to perform the step of "going to the home screen", but you do it via pressing the button instead of swiping up. Same # of steps -- though to be honest, it's a bit silly to compare this, since what counts as a step? And why are we just comparing steps and not other forms of complexity?

At any rate, my point is that it should be very easy for a "UX professional" to see why Face ID is a simpler experience in some cases, if not all. The point being that Touch ID vs. Face ID is a tradeoff, not a clear "one is better than the other".

Hello,

I'm not a 'pure tech guy', but I know enough to do project management and challenge devs of tech choices given a business objective.

I work at a startup for 50% of my normal wage. If the project fail, I simply go back to BigBankInc, work there 1 year or 2, and start again. Easy!

Of course my personal budget and lifestyle are very minimalist, I basically sacrificed my hobbies for my busines project. However I am totally happy with this decision, it improved my mental health a lot. I attribute this kind of 'needs arbitrage' as an outcome of my meditation practice.

Do note however that I do not have a family (yet)...
So what is the argument here? We shouldn't have nice things that could greatly benefit society because terrorists or war-mongering dictators might come after them?

What if a warring nation destroyed a hydroelectric dam and it flooded an entire town? Does this mean we should give up on hydro power?

What would happen if a terrorist gained access to your city's water treatment facility and contaminated it with a bioweapon resistant to chlorine? Does this mean we shouldn't have water delivery for our cities?

What would happen if a terrorist or warring nation gained access to your country's institute of virology where you are performing gain-of-function research, and they unleash a superbug you didn't intend into the population? Should we not perform medical science then?

What would happen if you built a really tall building and a terrorist decided to fly an airplane into it? Should we not build tall buildings anymore?

> The reality is that with their talent they could earn that per month at FAANG.

You are making the mistake in assuming that the FAANG interview process is not based on a tradeoff: they rather send away many competent people than hire incompetent ones. Due to this, many people with deep technical expertise don't get into FAANG. Think of neuro divergent people. Someone like RMS would not ever pass the cultural fit interview. Think of people who know how to code well in the problem domain but can't do so on a whiteboard. Think of people who have the expertise but lack a degree. Yes, examples exist where such people made it into FAANG, but this doesn't mean that it's really possible for someone like them to make it into FAANG.

Yes, many famous OSS people would be hired by FAANG in a heartbeat. But this isn't neccessarily the case for most folks in OSS.

Also don't forget that you make 30k per month when in the USA. Quite many senior developers with "FAANG talents" work in lower dev income countries on proprietary software and for some reason don't relocate to the US. Often, a lot of OSS contributions come from them. Godot for example was founded by someone living in Buenos Aires.
Any of the standard panorama software can solve for a standard simple lens distortion model, it just needs a few more alignment points to do so.

This is exactly why I never bothered. Combine that with the fact users can pay $0 and then come to GitHub to complain (i.e. create a support burden), I figured it wasn't the best option for a solo developer to build a business model on.

It would be more interesting if there was more flexibility in the monetization. Options for a minimum price + pay more per seat (for integration with some corporate provisioning software), subscription pricing, one time price + either support subscription or support "piecework" (like bug bounties or developer consultation), and invoicing integration.

Russia has nowhere else to go now that western markets are closed to them. China will be able to buy natural gas and oil nearly at cost because nobody else is willing to buy them, and gets to dictate the prices it's willing to pay. It also gets a large market for the products of its industry with close to zero competition.

At least that's the general feeling among Russian economists whom I've been reading lately.
I'm sure most extremely popular corporate software has been ported. But that's just a tiny fraction of the available software. I know most Apple users don't try anything outside their walled garden so it doesn't make a difference to them, but the vast majority of possible software has not and will not ever be ported to a form that can run on the M1 architecture. Whereas on x86 Apple computers you can compile and run pretty much everything.
Of course, it’s also a way to show even experienced devs the most basic boilerplate to begin working from in something new.

China and Russia have been classically opposed and clashing forces since the 1800s, even under dual-communist regimes. It was so bad in the 1960s that the Soviets wanted to engage in pre-emptive nuclear war with China.

Making Russia completely dependent on China economically will put a leash on Russia, effectively establishing it as a Chinese protectorate much like the Li–Lobanov Treaty made China a Russian protectorate.
> They don't allow commercial applications on their app store.

Which I kinda agree with, as they want to promote open-source apps first, but I'd also be okay with an option to display commercial apps to purchase or install with a disclaimer that these are not open-source apps.

It'd be nice to have the ability to install Spotify, Discord, and some other popular apps and have them automatically kept up-to-date directly from the App Store. And that wouldn't negate the ability to sideload or use a third-party repo.
