Yes. This is what we're discussing.
It is too late to do something about what happens _today_, it is not too late to do something about what is now likely to happen in a decade, and two, and three.

I had a similar experience with trying to switch a few times during the last few years and only within the last few months I've actually managed to keep using another search engine for more than a week, and it happened to be kagi.

If this is because Google has gotten worse or Kagi is better I can't tell, but either way I think we are at a point where Googles dominance is threatened for the first time, at last from my sample of one.

But there are other signals like how many of these "google isn't good anymore" posts we see on HN nowadays and the above example of a user not even noticing they aren't using Google.
Ask HN: Mid-career researcher wanting to move to Internet scale company
I'm a mid career research scientist (15 years post-PhD) with expertise in cloud computing and AI (mostly vision). I currently work at an industry research lab (almost a decade at my current employer) The work I have done has resulted in papers at top IEEE and ACM conferences, and I am in a quasi management position at my current employer (lead a team of 6; mix of scientists and engineers).

While being a success in an industry lab setting, I am interested in moving to an Internet scale company. I have a very hard time selling myself. The work I have done has not made it into products .. just papers and patents. I could probably move to a professor job as I have reputation in my subfield with a strong publication record, on the program committees of key conferences, etc.

I am extremely passionate about technology. I am also pretty decent as a manager (be it as a coach or where I am representing my part of the lab to other parts of the business). I also feel a bit of faker syndrome. I have a high salary (350K USD), which is problematic .. it makes going to small companies hard to stomach (I see engineering managers get paid 150K in some small companies) and the larger companies (FANG-Amazon) pay a lot more but seem impossible for me to get into. I did try getting into such companies when I was fresh out of school but flunked the interviews.

One other issue .. I feel at home coding but my currently role leave me nearly no time to code. I do management stuff and lead research projects.

Any advice would be most appreciated.

Yeah, I can’t really speak for the article. I ran a large production tokenization system for a payments company. Most of my experience is within the narrow context of protecting credit card numbers.

In other contexts maybe you’re more accepting of public exposure. For example tokenization can be an effective GDPR mitigation, but i don’t think folks are particularly worried about reuse attacks when the information contains a name or email (I’m sure there are instances where they are concerned as well)

But at least when talking about tokenizing actionable information (credit card, bank account, whatever) implementors should be careful to keep them out of their public apis.
Thank you for reminding me that I’m on Hacker News.
Reddit is heavily biased towards new content and you have to know what subreddits to look for to find the interesting stuff. The nice thing with Youtube recommendations (after recent updates) is that it pulls out a lot of older content and it also has a pretty good understanding of contexts and topics, even pretty niche stuff. Plain Google search really has no way of exploring the web in the same way you can just do with Youtube recommendations. Also helps that Youtube is extremely low on spam, you get ads and product placement, but not the bot generated filler that is cluttering up Google search.
The equivalent sea level rise numbers here are larger than I was expecting, but if temperatures are regularly above melting (are they? IDK from the article), one should expect something like this: https://www.antarcticglaciers.org/glaciers-and-climate/what-...
What you've really seen play out is that the government hasn't bothered to regulate cryptocurrencies yet. After they regulate cryptocurrencies, this becomes much easier to prevent.
That is wrong on many levels. Such nihilist position does not help the millions of people leading concrete actions on different scales.

You are wrong, it's not too late to change how we behave regarding climate and such way of thinking is unlikely to induce the required actions.

I found it a bit clickbaity. The title is correct to the letter but not really to the spirit, because down at the bottom there is:

> Temperatures are known to vary wildly over Antarctica, and massive swings are common. Contrasting with this warm spell over eastern Antarctica, the South Pole observed just observed its coldest April to September period on record last year, with an average temperature of minus-78 degrees (minus-61 Celsius).

But to be sure "The heat dome was exceptionally intense, five standard deviations above normal" is nuts.

We should rename Antarctica to something like "Crazy continent".

But no US or Canadian city can compete on quality of life even if you fully ignore all the financial infrastructure.

Cities in the US or Canada that offer comparable accommodation, eating and shopping opportunities are pretty miserable places to live in. Central London is beautiful, green and wonderful to walk around. It takes a very specific kind of person to enjoy walking around Manhattan on a regular basis.

London is also conveniently located wrt. top holiday destinations like the Alps and south of France.

London offers so much more to the oligarchy than just banks and lawyers.

Fuck, what other cities reliably offer Uber Lux? And I don’t mean the watered down American version with Suburbans and the likes.

The oligarchs will still remain in London even if draconian KYC laws might force them to rent instead of own, there aren’t any realistic alternatives.

Of course the “normies” will never understand this, they can’t even imagine the lifestyle. They have no idea what other great cities lack, because they’d never even dream of needing such services.

> It's the government.

If that's your logic, it's very hard to argue with it. It's literally a separate entity even from what you described.

> Where do you think coins and federal reserve notes come from?

the federal reserve which is not the government.

If you think government can print money out of thin air why do they even have to collect taxes. Can they not print their yearly expenditures?

I think this glosses over the issues of land becoming more arid. Most of the western United States is struggling to deal with this and it seems likely that agricultural output will decrease in these areas even if the land is not unusable by the standards of this article.
Personally I'd say MacOS 9 was the peak (ignoring its instability).

Things like:

* the filesystem root being the desktop - so you started navigation from the first thing you saw when you switched the computer on

* the way the finder remembered the exact layout of your folder windows (if you've not experienced it, it's hard to explain why it's better - but Windows Explorer and the current Mac Finder are both file browsers, whereas the old Mac Finder *was* your desktop in whatever state you left it)

* kernel extensions being switched on and off by dragging them in and out of the extensions folder

These things made the GUI match the actual underlying system - whereas I always felt that Windows 95 onwards (and now OSX/macOS) hide the workings under pretty layers).

Having said that I also used Turbo Vision in the olden days and it was fantastic.
NASA has become really good at self promotion and exciting people. The JWST launch and deployment is being covered really well. I also thought it was great that they had cameras on the latest Mars Rover that showed videos of the landing sequence from several angles. ESA should learn from NASA.
This is an interesting, coarse grained analysis. If you were looking for a false sense of security, or evidence to use in a melodramatic argument, this would fit.

The fundamental problem with climate change is the amount of uncertainty it brings. All of civilizations infrastructure has been built assuming a constant climate system. With 1-6 ft of sea level rise possible, and 1.5 - 6 degrees of warming possible, and completely uncertain impacts to local climates, I can’t tell you where to build the next sea port, farm, and city.
Another beneficial consequence of climate change over the long term will be the return of megafauna. Apatosaurs, dunkleostei, sarcosuchus imperator, and others will make a comeback. I can't wait.

This seems to naively suppose that the gain could offset the losses. Except for the problem that large populations, cities, ports, industries etc are located on the coasts, while the land gains in cold, remote regions will be probably mostly useless for centuries.
In multi-cultural American this is 100% NORMAL for most immigrants. And has been for 100-200 years. I've heard stories from my grandparents and relatives. My ex's Spanish-only-speaking relatives would talk about it.

This is why immigrants bringing minor children to doctor's appointments as translators is so utterly stereotypical: it actually happens.

It's the next best thing to the alternative by self-preservation - you get creative and put in the work. There's no way to have translators available for any arbitrary doctor - it's too expensive and the language of medical interaction is generally the highest language complexity activity the average person will have to deal with.

I've experienced this while traveling overseas. And you have to prepare for doctor's visits far more than "back home" if you want to get the best care. When I was living in a non-English-speaking neighborhood, I'd have to spend time translating my symptoms to the local language. Without computers, I'd probably need to hand-copy it from a paper dictionary instead. 50 years ago it would be very much a pantomime/charades scenario.

And here's the kicker: talking symptoms is SUPER inaccurate even with both doctor and patient speaking the same language unless the doctor has time and skills for teasing out things the patient doesn't know are relevant. And the doctors on a bell curve of that skill - plenty don't know what they don't know because they are on the low side of the curve so they miss things also.

Ask HN: Any Recommendations for Employment IP Lawyer in the UK
Hi,

I'm thinking of starting a few side projects but very worried about the Intellectual Property clause within my employement contract I signed years ago.

I'm looking for a lawyer who could help me parse the following clauses, or am I snookered and should just quit.

I'm wondering how an overlap is determined. Would that be for a judge to decide?

From my contract:

We understand that lots of our employees have tech related ideas that they work on outside of working hours. In a case where your idea overlaps or conflicts with the work of said company, you agree to the following:

1. You will promptly provide to said company, and otherwise keep confidential, full written details of all inventions, copyright works or designs originated, conceived, written or made by you, alone or with others (“Intellectual Property”), and work relating to Intellectual Property that you have worked on at any time during the course of your employment with said company which relate to, or are reasonably capable of being used in, the business of said company ("Employment IP"). Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the CEO, you are assigning said company absolutely all rights, title, benefits and interests in the Employment IP. The reason for this clause is to protect the Intellectual Property of the Company from infringement or misuse that may damage the position of said company in the market or our ability to serve our clients.

2. You hereby assign to said company with full title guarantee by way of assignment all present and future copyright, database and design rights and other proprietary rights (if any) for the full term of such rights throughout the world in respect of all Intellectual Property and you waive in favour of said company all moral rights conferred by Chapter 4 Part 1 of the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 and all similar rights in other jurisdictions.

3. You irrevocably appoint said company as your attorney to execute any instrument and do any such thing for the purpose of giving to the Company the full benefit of clause 1.
Most of the stores where I live allow you to scan other stores rewards cards. You don't get points on your account but you still get whatever sale prices that are reserved for reward card holders. Wonder if in your case the store supported this function but there was a null or something similar in the record for that card type.

IMO it's just as interesting as the people who hate Apple as if they are some kind of devil incarnate. And then talk down to Apple users like they're dumb, or cult members, etc. The vitriol is fascinating.

I can't decide if the haters are a reaction to the fans, or the fans a reaction to the haters. Probably both at this stage.
"It just works" is a lie. It does not just work.

It fails all the time for inexplicable reasons. Eg. one computer has two users signed in -- doesn't work, silent failure, no error message.

Computer not yet booted -- does not work, no way to type in the login password. (Granted this is hard to solve, but would be what I need to get away without a KVM switch)

One computer crashes -- your second Mac is now mouseless for 5 minutes until some time out occurs.

Multiple monitors stacked vertically: You can only move the cursor across one of the borders, the other one doesn't work.

Using a 3rd party mouse with extra functions: can't use them or scrolling won't work anymore.

The problem is that when something fails, there is no error message, no log message, no indication what you need to do to make it work.

As with all Apple solutions, it's a seamless experience if it happens to work, but if it doesn't work you'll be pulling your hairs.

The grains you see in a steel item are just grains of steel. Each grain has a particular crystalline structure, and neighboring grains have different structures or different orientations.

Most other metals lack a visible grain structure because they are purer (and therefore less likely to crystallize) or the metals in the alloy do not produce as many variations in grain structure.

I don't know if you intend it that way, but it comes off very patronizing. You cannot ascribe the status quo to human nature, and paint people who seek to change it as naive idealists.

Society is changed by writing laws and changing minds. Cultures evolve, people acquire new perspectives on issues based on their peers and the discussions they partake in. Regulations are being written and discussions are being held as to their moral importance. No one is content with wishing on a star for a better world.

As for collectivism, you only need to look across the Atlantic for examples of functional western societies which strike a different balance than America between individualism and collectivism.

You can also look at the past, back when black people weren't allowed in white businesses and black schoolgirls had to be escorted by the state to be allowed to attend school. People didn't ascribe to a fatalist view back then, they believed things could change and they fought for it.
> IMO that doesn't automatically mean they should go around calling it revolutionary if it does similar things but better or whatever.

It's revolutionary in that it introduces a new capability to the average user (ignoring either tails), changing the way they interact with their computing devices. The mouse was revolutionary, for example. It existed, but the way it was integrated and became the focal point of UI interactions -- revolutionary. Will this be that? Most likely not, but we'll see.

The touchpad on Mac laptops is a better analogy here. Apple got the touchpad right a decade before Windows based machines. It was smooth, responsive, and gestures just worked. This is now an industry standard, but even 10 years ago wasn't a given that you'd have a Windows laptop with the right hardware and drivers. It feels like what they're doing here is very similar.

You seem to think all these problems are solved by throwing money at them, they're so easy. Apple knew the touchpad would be important and invested and vertically integrated. It took laptop manufacturers and Microsoft a decade to coordinate and catch up. I don't even like Apple as a company, but give credit where it's due.
> How does the self driving truck put chains on the tires at the designated chain pull-outs and then remove them when the LED road signs say to do so?

The cynic in me says that these private companies will somehow lobby to coerce public servants (DOT workers) to do this job for them via safety regulation. There are also automated chain solutions, but those would require the trucking companies to invest.

To your first question - isn't this the point of automation? The majority of trucking is boring work driving down a road in decent conditions; take that away and you can make your truckers a lot more productive. The question then becomes, who gets the benefit of that productivity increase? In the last half century or so the answer is the owner of the capital. Also, this is a job where someone can fairly quickly go from unskilled to skilled with a middle class income. While I suspect that current truckers will be able to maintain employment for the rest of their careers by serving as expert drivers who can work in situations where automation cannot, I wonder if the career will be available/attractive to younger generations.

The truth is that large scale automated vehicles could be a godsend or a curse depending on how we as a society regulate them, but I don't believe we are on a happy path in that regard.
