I agree one hundred percent with this commenter. They are absolutely right – don't use the tone that I'm using on HN! I did not structure my HN comment from the point of view of how to present it for public comment; and the tone if used verbatim will mark you down as "tinfoil hat crazy person who we should ignore", as the parent correctly points out.

Definitely don't use the term "spyware". Try to assume the persona of a reasonable, slightly conservative, and concerned person who is worried about data privacy why public money is being spent on subscriptions to companies who collect a lot of it, but are not local or accountable. Highlight that you understand that choices are difficult, but that the school needs to do better and be more accountable to parents and students, especially in an age where personal data has become so important.
Digital sunshine laws (FOIA and state and local equivalents) generally exclude personal data other than certain information about public employees, and definitely records covered under specific privacy regulation like FERPA. You would need to request those records under different laws relating to parent access to private records of students (in this case, the parental right to inspect under FERPA, probably), not sunshine laws.

Quite possible there are whole different request channels for private vs. public records.
How does it actually work? Do you save the email content on your servers and generate a link to that content?
> I'd heard too many Vietnam vets tell horror stories about how they'd been treated by the military.

Not forgetting horror stories about what they did to Vietnamese, Afghans or Iraqis...
Forget all the obvious slurs/jokes etc. There’s a fundamental business problem of all these new sites: MeWe, frank, truth social etc: fundamentally, and indeed by design, they aren’t differentiated from the incumbents.

The incumbents already have the market share / volume. Pretty much anybody who wants to use the new site will also remain on the older site because of all the other people they want to talk to or hear from.

The way to displace the incumbent is either to have a new feature that some segment wants (snap, TikTok) or rope in a new, largely disjoint audience (FB, sort of by accident — grabbed an audience that wanted to leave geocities or whatever behind).

This same problem happened with, for example, OS/2: it had a bunch of new features, but was 100% back compatible with Windows. So if you wanted a product for OS/2 customers you might as well write it for the Windows API you already knew. This might be a analogically to the problem that these new platforms do have a differentiated (well, sharp subset) audience, and apparently a lot of fun posting and complaining on the legacy platforms is the performance outrage generated. If everybody agrees with you, where’s the fun?

Apple had this problem when transitioning away from OS 9 to OSX — back compatibility was good enough that some companies, most notoriously Adobe, didn’t bother to switch until Apple cut the old tech off at the knees. When you’re a new entrant, you don’t have control over the actions of the old company, so that avenue is not available to you.
"with Google Workspace identity services, allowing employees to log in to their device with a single business username and password"

This is huge, especially if it will work easily without the need for intermediary identity services to make it all work.
It's true that we return a `RenderNode.Noop` in ∞ - 1 cases, but that's okay because we're not making any demands of `node` there.

I did read the article thoroughly, and I think he hasn't seen the larger perspective. I'm an investor in Netflix, and have also dug deeply into many other in-depth analyses of them, and while he says its "long-term", that doesn't mean it is.

Netflix has barely tapped its global potential (partially more and more users of countries come online world-wide), and many companies have experienced what they call "demand pulled forward", i.e. extra growth in pandemic that then falls as pandemic heads towards a close. This is short term, and he has assumed that the slow in growth is the "inevitable decline" of Netflix Subscriber growth.

Also, to be clear, I think Stratechery is an incredible source and usually agree with him. I don't in this case.

I wasn't trying to respond to his points more directly, I was taking on the perspective of what is good for the companies growth.

Just because you "happily enjoy ad-free Netflix, YouTube and Hulu." Doesn't mean most do (and there are strong statistical reasons that indicate that others enjoy it more as well).
I honestly think we will one day look back and see this as taking a hammer to a screw. Sure it will work, but its a horribly brute-force way of doing it. The brain almost certainly processes language in a more elegant way that, once understood, certainly won't take up such raw computational power.

The brainwaves associated with a wakeful state (and thus generating and parsing language) happen around 40 Hz. Our machines are running in the GHz region. We are missing some fundamental insight.

At the risk of ending up front and center in the hall of prediction hubris, here is my bold prediction: By 2040 it will be possible to do what these TPU's are doing today on your consumer grade computing device, but it won't be because of a dramatic increase in the computing resources available to such devices.
WPF is not bad, but I like dev experience of React much better - I'm able to iterate on solution quicker, and the Chrome devtools are very good too.

Yeah it's a hack on top of HTML, but there's React Native too. Which is kind of a hack too, but it's going towards the right direction IMHO.
My issue isn't about the notification, but that this doesn't work at all within any reasonable model of user permissions.

Fundamentally, authority cannot be delegated authority that you yourself don't have. I can agree to a contract promising to do some particular work, because I have the authority to direct my actions. I cannot agree to a contract promising that you will do some particular work, because you haven't granted me that authority. I cannot grant to another what I do not have for myself.

With regards to user permissions, a non-administrator doesn't have permission to monitor another user's activity. Therefore, they cannot delegate permission to a third party to monitor another user's activity. That this is possible means that ChromeOS has a fundamentally flawed model of user permissions.
I have not tried ZeroTier yet but have come across it quite a bit lately. What advantages if any would you say it has compared to just running a simple Wireguard VPN into your remote network?
> they will contact buddies at your current or former place of work even without your consent and you have no chance to fight or dispute that (and it is also illegal, not that they care)

There are plenty of good managers mixed with the bad. Obviously you knew your boss in this case was a good manager and trusted him with that info. Hopefully people realize when to trust the people getting the feedback and when not to. Generally when exit interview feedback starts to look the same from specific departments or managers...the upper ups and HR take notice that something is off. I've also seen feedback from exit interviews that people aren't happy about stuff that they knew was part of the job (like left before and came back and were somehow surprised the job was the same).
I'm using one as a coaster.
What Credentials to Get to Move from Senior Full Stack Dev DevOps?
I have 15 years of experience doing backend-focused, full-stack web development. I do lots of ops work at my current job (CI setup, DB provisioning, Server Setup, Load Balancers, Monitoring). However I realize there is always a LOT more to learn when it comes to automating, monitoring and scaling infrastructure. Current cloud experience is in AWS.

Is there a certification I can work towards to make myself a competitive candidate for a DevOps/ DevOps Engineer position? Should I just get certified by GCP / AWS?

Currently making around 250k. I am hoping to make around 300k a year (CA is expensive :( ), please let me know if there is a related position that will help me get to that comp. E.g. should I focus more towards devsecops, etc.

Considering this program: https://professionalprograms.mit.edu/online-program-cloud-devops-continuous-transformation/

Apparently meaning: they were caught, so now they have to rethink it.
The Lenovo keyboard is good when it works - but I never had a fully working keyboard on any post-2013 Lenovo laptop (my old T530 had awesome and reliable keyboard, but it was the last). I generally spend around $4-$6k on a laptop, so not the consumer-level models. Always at least few keys had issues (or soon developed some) and they didn't want to fix it.

The Apple keyboard was weird for a week and then I got used to it without much further issues. Occasionally a grain or something got under a key, compressed air fixed that immediately. After a year one key became squishy and Apple fixed it free of charge within few days.

Dell keyboards are squishy and unreliable and have the same problems with grains Apple butterfly keyboard had - but in 2022. Dell average is much worse than the worst Apple ever got.
Because I don't use any of that stuff and don't care. I can plug my macbook in with a single cable and it charges and runs the display. I will literally never need VGA, e-sata, or firewire. I'd put just the aesthetics of the device over having useless ports.
It takes more energy to hit the sun than it does to escape the solar system entirely. Earth's orbital velocity is closer to solar escape velocity than it is to 0 (or any velocity for an orbit with a periapsis that intersects Sol and an apoapsis at Earth's orbit).
They can do things that's within the law. Recording conversations have been considered harassment in the past. Blocking vocabulary related to unionization could be considered blocking employee from self-organizing.
This seems like a double-plus-good feature added to the chat.
> "- passive aggressive: This is a personal judgment...
missing roadmap because poor design decisions: Again a junior opinion"

So you asked a Junior person for his opinion and you complain that you got Junior's opinion? What did you expect, to get a senior executive's opinion?

It's irrelevant if his opinions are incompetent - let's imagine he got fired for being an complete idiot. Then you asked for his opinion, and complain that it's an idiotic opinion. That means we have at least two idiots!

What in the world are these complains about negativity, is management entitled to love and loyalty from employees it fired? This sounds like a North-Korea style dictatorship, not a company.

If they are too daft to know that fired employees might provide negative feedback, or if their fragile egos can't handle it - that's their problem.

Let me make a parallel that might be clearer:

If someone comes up to me tells me I smell, that's kind of offensive.

But it if I go to someone and spesifically ask them 'do I smell', they might answer 'Yes'.

I don't get to complain that they are not a qualified perfumer, or their judgement is poor - I picked them, I asked them. And I certainly don't get to go around town telling everyone how they are a terrible person.
Can't tell if you're making a serious argument but yes, even if it is only civil penalties and only boards of directors, your "good law" will destroy companies with all-female leadership teams and your "bad law" will not. Civil penalties can still force bankruptcy. This is a boolean logic problem, not a law class.

TruffleHog v3: detect and verify 639 key types

Yes, I know how to program and know a good amount about machine learning in Python. The problem is these machine learning frameworks are rather heavy to be shipping around, although I guess you could do it. I was wondering if there's any lighter weight machine learning libraries, which might not have all the bells and whistles, but would be better to ship and train models on consumers computers. Most of the time people ship pretrained models, but don't actually update that model on the end users computer.
I hope you have a local backup.

But brains are trained from millions of generations across the lifetime of the earth (or from when life started, if you ignore the environment and context needed to start life). You are conflating the training with the inference.
Sorry, but that's fearmongering bullshit that doesn't seem to match reality. Concerned parents often call into school board meetings for all sorts of reasons.

It should go without saying that you should be courteous and reasonable while presenting your concerns.
> Apple has a deep and decades-long commitment to helping small businesses thrive.

I realize this is basic PR messaging, but it's a weird/ironic take from a company that regularly competes as "the richest company in the world". Usually, Big loves Big. Big companies usually telegraph how Enterprisey they are, how the biggest of the big use their bigly products. But Apple continually messages this inverse relationship. We are the biggest, and we serve the hordes of the little. It's a weird/unusual message.

(and I'm making zero claims as to the credibility of this messaging, just noticing that it's different)
I ran my second hand Dell computer from work for about half a decade, it cost $75 when I bought it from work after a merger. The CPU finally called it quits, and I parted it out for a profit.
I'm totally buying this. It's 2022, I am pretty sure Realtek knows how to make a reliable gigabitEthernet chip, and at the same time it's also possible that OEMs cut corners in power design.
I think the development question forces hard choices. Your choice right now is to work a full time job. The development may need to happen at work. If you can't develop there, then maybe look for a job which is more flexible. Alternatively, look for ways in which you can work from home or even go solo.

I feel like filling after-work hours with "development" things isn't the way to go. Personally, I need my time for "doing nothing" or allowing my brain to wander. I feel that creative energy needs this space.
The problem here isn't related to the standardized port and incompatibility between devices, though, is it? It's a matter of the functionality of the hardware in the peripheral, which has been an issue with USB hubs forever. Your comment is all about device compatibility, not devices being cheap and shitty.
I've heard a rule that it was half the time of the relationship. From my experience your rule is more accurate!
> Groups like Azov are actively supported by the Ukrainian government

Because they're defending Ukraine amidst an invasion? Also keep in mind the extremist leaders of Azov left when they were made part of the National Guard.

> but are you willing to consider that something like this can be a false-flag operation by groups like Azov with the knowledge or blessing of the Ukrainian government?

Is levelling all of Mariupol a false flag? Azov doesn't even have the capability... As for Bucha, Azov operates entirely near, well, the sea of Azov (guess where they got their name from?) ie. Mariupol, which is some distance and separated from Bucha (which is north of Kyiv).

And what does Ukraine gain from a false flag of killing civilians at this point? They know the west won't help. Meanwhile Russia is trying to demoralise them to surrender knowing that they'll never face repercussions for their atrocities...
Not necessarily. Depends on the underlying hardware implementation (with different answers for e.g. x86 vs ARM) since software CAS usually is implemented as a single CPU instruction.

This is also stretching the definition of "lock" quite a bit because usually CAS is used to implement lock-free and wait-free concurrency.

But regardless at most, even in hardware, it's a single top-level lock, and sometimes not even that. Not one along every level of a data structure.
at least in the visual cortex, synaptic weights are not genetically encoded in humans. they are in drosophila though
Yeah, this leak is about a brainstorming session.

It was a stupid suggestion that apparently hasn’t seen the light of day.
From your description it sounds like when your child signed in with the student account, one of the Ok's they hit for GoGuardian put your device on the schools managed account(cps.edu).

If you're powerwashing and it's automatically pulling cps.edu managed policies as soon as it gets online then the school district IT needs to release your device, and then powerwash it and setup again without the cps.edu policies.

Be aware if you want your child to do any official testing or use their student accounts on your personal device the district may require this arrangement.
I'm no expert on any of this. I'll have to look up that case for context. Thanks for the discussion.
This is highly misleading.

First, if you click on "present", it shows significant populations living in "uninhabitable" areas, making their definition of "uninhabitable" quite questionable, covering e.g. 56% of the population of India and 84% of the population of the Netherlands. Last time I checked, Rotterdam and Amsterdam were pretty habitable.

Second, for their 2100 display, they're assuming an increase of 2.7°C compared to pre-industrial levels, which is what their source (ClimateActionTracker) considers the outcome of currently implemented policies, ignoring any and all planned improvements/goals. That's not a realistic scenario.
> I'm not sure if we as outsiders are in any position to judge the sincerity of another's wish to die.

In individual cases, you may be right. But I think it's best to try to find the truth when talking about something so impactful as suicide as a general phenomenon.

And I am of course not denying that genuine attempts at suicide can fail. But that seems unlikely to be the key to understanding the massive gender disparities at hand here.
Why don’t their employees quit then and work somewhere better if they have the opportunity? If they don’t have a better opportunity than seems like Amazon is providing a valuable opportunity. Not to mention we seem to be in a worker-favorable economy.
Wow, what a struggle you're having. If only there was some way to externally determine whether this is really a disastrous launch, like the BBC have quoted an NYU director as having said, or a huge success, like you've imagined fox saying.

There are 1.4million people on the waitlist to access this app. Donald Trump "is said to be furious" and has never used it to post. And it's currently said to be outside the top 100 social network apps by downloads. But I guess we'll never know whether it's really a disaster, or the imaginary Fox's huge success, because you hold the UK's national broadcaster in such low regard
Even on a laptop with plenty of ports, it's very convenient to be able to plug in just one cable and get power, video, ethernet, mouse, keyboard etc.
So, it sounds like the best advice to OP is to create another 'home' account for their son, on the same device, which won't be monitored or affected by anything the school does.

The son can decide which account to log into based on what they plan to do that day.
Github Gist (https://gist.github.com/) already has what you're describing so personally, I'd use it instead.
Why would population decline be a problem?

If doomsday predictions about population growth are to be dismissed because technology has always kept up with the increasing needs of humanity, what is the argument against technology keeping up with the needs of a demographically shifted smaller population?
You find the sun to be lacking in luster? Rather ironic...
> We used to walk through the woods, filled with roots. Now a largely flat surface is so hazardous with a small uplift that it deserves massive litigation?

Big difference is that one expects to encounter roots in the woods. Don’t think that people expect to trip on roots in a sidewalk. My guess is that a root that caused a scooter to flip is more than a small uplift, but I am, of course, not privy to the details of the case.
If you are fearful of telling the truth in an exit interview or avoiding it entirely out of fear of burning bridges, I think you may have more problems to work through. This is your one opportunity for closure and to say your piece to bring you peace.

The harsh reality is that plenty of people vent about why they are leaving teams, orgs, divisions, and companies. Nothing changes and then more people leave. Then those managers who got all the feedback leave and people start to see the house of cards fall down.

If a single person or company dictates your career for any reason, you have much bigger problems to worry about.
Why would they quit when they can collectively bargain instead?
I've been using Tailscale for a couple of personal use cases and it has become one of my favorite products. It really simplified my setup and it "just works".

That said, I share OP's concerns as someone who has been evaluating alternatives to Google Workspace and Office 365. It is understandable that they may be prioritizing a B2B model, a decision which may be at odds users like OP and myself. That said, I still recommend it to teams/people who do not share this concern.

I hesitate investing further than my current setup because of this reason and I've been investigating whether Headscale/ZeroTier fit the bill. It is a shame because it is such a great product and it has been a while since I last had an equivalent experience using software.
Please don't follow this advice. Frothing at the mouth about spyware on your kids computer will immediately be dismissed as insane ravings, and possibly get a visit from your local child safety organization.

I recommend reaching out to your child's teacher, and ask to get connected with the IT team at the school to explain what's going on.
Cheap laptops also have a lot of cheap shitty hardware on them supporting those peripherals. It's not as clear cut as "on board good, on hub bad".
The actual place where the 'whys' end is the axiomatic foundations of the model. The axioms for the categorical imperative are self-referential in the abstract (universal rules are good because they are good), whereas the axioms for utilitarianism are rooted in maximising subjective human experience. One is fundamentally materialist, the other idealist. You are right in that you can't argue on those grounds because the two sides value different things, in the same way that religious versus material justifications for actions cannot be reconciled. That does not mean that they have equal merit.
Ohms law is the same for AC and DC at any given moment in time. That is, in an instant where an AC voltage in a wire at 120V, it will have identical resistive loss as DC voltage at 120V.
Haha thanks, but I agree with the sibling posts, I just did it to be weird and provocative (and not but for more than a week or two) and people _hated_ it and for good reason, I think.
I've had some limited experience with Apple as a small business.

My observation is that Apple's commitment varies a lot from year to year, and especially from city to city.

Chicago was great. Seattle (well, Bellevue) not at all.
Of course. A software company trying to solve all of its problems through software.

Maybe Amazon should address why their employees feel they need to say these words in the first place.
From some random reading on the net, it is the smaller ones that can be directly connected. Above 2MW things are not as easy and it is better and more efficient to convert to DC.
