> Google does not allow apps within the app store to present their own payment method

Does this apply to NFC as well? On Android, if an app wants to use NFC for payment that is not processed through Google Pay, can it exist on the Google Play store?
That's really interesting. I'll take a deeper look at their pricing - thank you!
When those more effective ways are accomplished, then and only then would these laws be just.

Being able to collect performance data from production boxes is invaluable.
One should draw a distinction between bad faith actors and good faith actors. For bad faith actors you are correct, but you could say the same thing about a lot of controlled substances. They (stimulants) are at least as controlled as benzos if not opiates. After all there is no objective test for chronic pain either from what I understand. For good faith actors I think there are perhaps the correct or at best too many burdens already, as given by the large percentage of people who are under-treated.
I'd assume the entertainment is decoupled from any engine control, drivetrain control or drive-by-wire features.

"There is likely no way to fix this without completely destroying the livelihoods of a lot of farmers, and nobody wants to deal with that for real."

I disagree. I hate to be the hand-wavy "desalinization" guy but ...

We have completely green solar energy and desal (I assume) wouldn't even necessarily require a base load. We could have all the water we need and everyone in California could have a nice green lawn. Or wash their cars. Or grow almonds.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there are even any technical problems to solve - it's just implementation of existing technologies. And is climate-neutral at worst. And we have a staggering budget surplus in California.

I can see the value of it for people who are going to say, build some electronic doodad once in their life as a sort of summer camp or survey course or adult enrichment activity.
> Let's say I invest millions and years of my time to get the $100 million prize, and someone gets it right before me. What's my consolation prize? If it's absolutely nothing, then I'm not going to risk my career on that bet

Isn't that exactly how startups work? A $100 million prize is reaching into baby unicorn territory (a fully grown unicorn is "only" $1B in value), so why wouldn't the prospect of winning the grand prize be enough to attract funding?

Skiller Whale | Software Engineer (Curriculum) | Remote | Anywhere in the world | £30-120k

We’re looking for software engineers to research, write and test our teaching curriculums across many programming languages and technologies. Our salary range reflects the fact that we need a mix of junior, mid-level and senior developers.

Unlike most software roles you’ll be learning and writing on a wide range of languages; you won’t be glued to one software stack. That includes Golang, Python, C#, Javascript and TypeScript right now; next on our list are Java, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Ruby on Rails and Rust.
You’ll need to be fast at learning new technologies. That means more than just a "Hello World"; it means understanding edge cases, gotchas, idioms. It means being willing to test out weird behaviours. Your research is crucial for our learners to understand the full depth of any topic.

You also need to be able to write English fluently and concisely. You’ll demonstrate a close empathy for the trainers and learners who rely on your work. And you should enjoy working with other people doing exactly the same, wanting each others work to be the best it possibly can.
You won’t need teaching experience, but you will have a track record in software development, and a desire to advance other developers’ skills first and foremost.

Skiller Whale currently employs 10 people, with 3 more joining soon. We have raised a total of £2.8m funding (mostly recently in January 2022) and are growing 15% month-on-month. As our next employee you will have a huge role to play in shaping Skiller Whale as a company. Our very first in-person meeting will be in Oxford, UK in June 2022. We’d love to have you there!

The full advert and application form is at https://apply.workable.com/skiller-whale/j/31E0BFDB66/ or you can email hywel@skillerwhale.com with your interest.

Either way, you can expect Hywel to get back to you quickly (I joined in March & my first approach was in February. I had 3 × 1 hour interviews, and a 2 hour offline writing assessment).

Who we are Skiller Whale (https://skillerwhale.com) upgrades the skillsets of professional software teams. Instead of passive videos and relying on developers to learn ‘organically’, Skiller Whale delivers 60-90 minute live, hands-on sessions with an expert. We make learning as efficient and intense as possible. Our original material contains challenging coding exercises which our trainers help navigate.

In the long term, we want to move beyond software engineers and become the go-to global provider for professional learning (roughly a $360bn industry).

We try to work in line with our values of openness, rationality, creativity and autonomy. We also want our team to remain diverse and inclusive as we scale, so we would especially welcome your application if you’re part of a traditionally underrepresented group.
Reverie Labs (YC W18) | Cambridge/Boston, MA | Backend and Full-Stack Roles | Onsite (Temporarily Remote) | https://www.reverielabs.com
At Reverie Labs, we’re rethinking drug discovery by building a biotech company that looks and feels like a tech company. We are actively working on several cancer therapeutics programs and building an internal platform to accelerate discovery. We’re looking for engineers across the tech stack, including data scientists, front-end engineers, and full-stack devs to expand the computational systems that generate the next era of life-saving treatments for millions of patients. If you think you might enjoy any of these types of projects, we’d love to hear from you!

* Architecting a Django REST-driven internal application development ecosystem that supports multiple drug development programs.

* Building performant software for billion-scale molecular analyses alongside machine learning engineers.

* Designing and implementing front-end interfaces that enable our in-house chemistry team to interface with software.

* Using Pandas/R/Plotly/Dash or any other of your favorite analysis tools to extract meaningful insights from datasets.

* Combining a set of 25+ in-house experimental assays and 50+ external data streams into a universally accessible data platform.

* Using a modern cloud-first development stack, giving you access to effectively infinite computing power.

* Owning the full development cycle of a product from ideation to implementation to deployment (of course in collaboration with a team!)

We were in the W18 batch of YC and are now based in the biotech hub in Cambridge, MA. We offer competitive salary and above-market equity. Benefits include full medical, dental, and vision coverage, flexible vacation policy, and gym membership. If you have any questions or want to apply, please reach out to me at ankit@reverielabs.com (I’m one of the founders), or apply at our website here: https://reverielabs.com/careers.
I think you are being disingenuous by omitting the preceding claim.

> Whether results of this kind should be considered as successes for the program – what is the proper measure to use in evaluating success – depends on the intended use of the program. If the goal is to generate candidate images that a graphic artist will choose from, or choose from and edit, then the system can reasonably be measured in terms of the quality of the best result out of
ten or out of one hundred.

They basically admit your Fiverr use case is valid. But say, that it should not be used "in safety-critical applications" which is neither a grand claim nor controversial. It is probably the most blasé claim because, as you point out, no one is expecting this to be used in safety-critical applications. From an economics point of view, the Fiverr use case seems pretty strained to me. If you've ever watched street art, some dazzling things can be done in under 10 minutes. Unless the DALL-E gets it correct on the first shot +99% of the time, someone sifting through images is probably just as costly as paying for Fiverr. What this paper elucidates to me is that even historical figures are off-limits which, in my expectation, is a non-trivial use case.
My system has become:

TODO (never make it into `main`)

SHOULDDO (may have been TODOs in a previous life)

COULDDO (effectively pre-emptive strikes for code review)

I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Exactly, I think being woke means people who don’t agree with you used cuter euphemisms than in my day. It used to be 2 words.
People severely underestimate the velocity and volume of data implied by this if you actually did it, never mind having to run analytics processes at the same scale alongside it. We are talking about bespoke state-of-the-art data infrastructure platforms. You can't support anything like this with open source software, not that it stops people from trying. Glorified data brokers are usually not bastions of world-class software engineering, and if they were, they wouldn't be in such a low margin business. Most of these companies are just recycling the same low-quality and stale data sets.

The question I always ask, when evaluating companies making these types of claims, is "what hard computer science problems did you solve to make this possible". If you've actually done what is claimed like in the above, it will be an interesting list. In practice, this question usually elicits confusion.

There are legions of dubious companies making claims like this, which you can safely ignore. Their data quality is so poor that they would have difficulty violating most peoples' privacy even if they wanted to. The couple orgs with the technical expertise to actually pull it off competently don't talk about it.

> If you disallow TODO comments

The author is not saying TODO comments should be disallowed or stopped entirely, and explicitly states that he's not suggesting "use an issue tracker instead".

His recommendation is to use meaningful alternatives, e.g. FIXME, HACK, BUG, etc.
My first encounter with an amiga audio as a music/audio tool was at an amiga-specific computer store that had Audiomaster running off a sampler with some demos.

I was totally blown away watching waveforms and simple audio editing, speeding up, etc.. Remember, this was back when PCs were 4 colors, and sucking at best, for anything audio or video related.

It looked like magic from my, kid's eyes, perspective.

I ended up with a "Perfect Sound" parallel port sampler and messing around with MED, later OctaMED on my A1200 with ECE Midi interface and good ol PSS synth. Good memories.

In some parts of the world, electronic music was a thing, where I was however, you looked like a complete weirdo if you were into that stuff. Seriously.

"Its not real music" up until the PC could catch up and do the same eh ;)

> In the US, you can't have more than a month supply

I've met one doctor before who believed it. But after switching to a few other ones (not due to that, but due to circumstances like me moving states or, later on, my doctor doing the same), I dont think that's true.

Every single doctor I had since then was able to write prescriptions for 3 months supply (because they are required to evaluate the patient every 90 days before writing a refill prescription).
Augmented reality replacing laptops? Sure, it's a stretch but OK.

But I'd rather go without technology than end up locked into in the Zuckerverse.
Why? Because enough VCs/Hedge Funds have bought into the lie that is crypto or “AI”. Is this some kind of economic extortion?

Notes on Twitter, RSS and the future ahead
You use the brakes to control loading on the front wheels to maximise grip. You need to control brakes and throttle to corner quickly.
The whole point of the thread is that there's a lot of variance in density within the US, and we shouldn't regulate the rural midwest like we regulate NYC.

> It's not what we chose[1], but there's certainly nothing about the geography the precludes it. The focus, and later dependence, on extended exurbs connected with roads for private vehicles is very much a policy decision.

It's an amalgamation of a hundred years of policy decisions and private investment based around those decisions, and it would take as long to reverse it even if there was political appetite for it. And there's not much appetite for it because most people prefer the convenience and comfort of cars. To that end:

> There's absolutely no reason that kind of lifestyle is impossible here.

It's not a matter of whether that lifestyle is possible, but whether it's desirable. Most Americans find the convenience and comfort of cars to be preferable to public transit.
This is a solved problem, but nobody realizes it yet.

We already have a decentralized system of unique identities, and we have since the '80s. It's called the domain name system. They're human-readable, they have strong guarantees about being able to own and control them (so long as you pay a nominal fee), and they have a rock-solid infrastructure behind them that backs everything from Google to the US government to your friend's blog. We even have a (somewhat less convincing) way of verifying that the server you're talking to really is the one that your DNS record points to.

What still needs work is getting from an identity system, which tells you which server to look at for a given name, to a system of authentication for specific tasks. Given that someone controls a given domain name, how can they use that to log in to a service or post messages that are verifiably theirs?

If you're willing to run a server for it, OpenID works. If you only want to send email, DKIM has you covered. The w3c's decentralized identity specs are really cool, and I think did:web [1] has the potential to bring us to a world where you can buy a domain, cname it to some host, and upload your public keys there so that you can sign anything and login anywhere. Making this easy for non-technical users will be important, but I think it can be done. The fact that ICANN policy requires companies to allow you to migrate your domain guarantees that you can sign up with some fancy startup that will manage everything for you and keep your identity if you want to move somewhere else.

Question for any US-based PinePhone aficionados: what carrier are you using (where/how did you get a SIM card)?

I recently got an ATT pre-paid SIM (that I was planning on putting in an Android phone eventually). I thought I would give it a try in the PinePhone just to see what happens and found that it would not activate... (Note that this was just a normal pre-paid SIM direct from ATT and not from some 3rd-party MNVO that might require an app to activate. When I eventually installed the SIM in the Android phone it was able to activate as expected without installing any apps).

I don't "bond" with my car.

I keep my cars a really long time. I purchased cars new in 1992, 2007, and 2020. I cared for them properly, and drove them until they required too many new parts (with well over 250k miles). The trade-in was always basically zero.

I would keep them forever if they didn't wear out, not because I care about it but because I don't. It's a tool; I don't want to spend money on replacing a tool that works. When it stops working, I get a new one.

I feel the same about my phone, and that's fine with me.

I suppose I'm sorry for the hobbyists who want more out of their car, but I think there are a lot more people like me than like you, and the industry is going to cater to us. That's what allows us to have affordable, simple objects that do the job. I'll feel outraged if it ends up costing more, but not just because I don't really own it.
If anything, high oil prices will allow governments in the region to subsidise food. Saudis have already started to help out Egypt. They definitely don't want the regime collapsing.
