There has been a significant shift in what "liberal" means in the vernacular. I suspect this is because there is a habit of reducing everything down to either "liberal vs conservative" - in the US at least. I know many libertarians have started qualifying themselves as "classical liberals" in order to try and distinguish their ideology.
is gemini on similar situation?
Revenue recognition is orthogonal to this post. The main point is that if you're selling things for money you should model those things separately from how money is used to acquire them.

Case 1 (which the article suggests we shouldn't do): Bob tries to download his contacts, we check our database and find that he's subscribed at the gold payment tier and thus is allowed to do so, and so we provide a download option.

Case 2 (proposed alternative): Bob tries to download his contacts, we check our database and find he has that privilege for the next 6 months (which we recorded previously when he subscribed at the gold tier), and so we provide that download option.

The 2nd case is probably a bit worse if you never change your payment options, but it makes changing them trivial and doesn't introduce much burden.
Good points, though I was one of those people who was disturbed that Snowden's 'revelations' were news.

Pre-Snowden, there were many of us who weren't paranoid or cynical, but who were not surprised by surveillance tech. And some of us weren't tech experts either.

One person's cynicism is another person's gentle understanding of social mechanisms.
That's not what is said.

They are referencing to the "planned" articles that appeared on Russian state media days after the invasion.

Additionally, Russia thought that they bribed enough politicians to willingly hand over the cities to them.

The resistance was obviously more fierce than expected. This isn't about HN armchair whatever. This is known news if you're following the situation as many here do...
Haven't you heard?

The center is the right now and the right is "hard right."

Clearly this indicates a political shift to the right. /s
I'd guess a lot of people, regardless of industry, feel underpaid. Simply for the reason that they are. Growing inequality is real, over the last few decades an ever increasing portion of the productivity gain of the economy goes to a smaller portion of the people. We do the work, others get the profit.
That totally depends on where you are in your career and what your needs are. Some people only work where they work, or only work at all for certain benefits.
The signature approach is interesting because it couples the short token the api key, so they're a pair rather than totally independent. Introducing a signature changes the math to create the shortest possible API key with at least 128 bits of entropy (that are not stored server-side). But it's worth looking into!
More like a nervous laugh.
> ACLU membership and staff have always been fairly left, but they were impressively focused on (IMO) the most important civil rights as rights through their work at ACLU, and largely kept their personal politics out of that.

If that's true, their fundraising was less focused. I made one or two donations to them in the late 90s or early 2000s, and got piles of junk mail for every liberal cause for decades after.

Never made any other political donation, except to the EFF, so I know it's the ACLU that distributed my name (I've made EFF donations from other addresses, and have never gotten any extra junk due to that).
No mention of current market conditions, namely record inflation? I suspect that may have something to do with why many people - "technies" are no exception - feel underpaid (because they are relative to blown-up monetary supply).
No, but the users would be last in liquidation preference, so would end up screwed anyways.

Did I miss something or is this just inflammatory rhetoric? I know about the literal genocide happening in Yemen but I haven't heard anything about transgender genocide.
> Over time, I have come to believe that the problem is overly-aggressive abstraction.

Sometimes, yes, overly-aggressive abstractions are a problem. But the author describes policies of v1 and v2 of the linker. And I would say the most critical difference between them is, that the authors of v2 had a better understanding of the requirements that actually mattered. Therefore they were in a better situation to evaluate the architecture and they were able to make better trade-offs.

Deciding to trust object files as inputs might raise a red flag for some people. In principle it could allow attacks/exploits of the linker. But in reality for most threat models this does not matter. Because the compiler generating object files has the same level of trust as the linker. Companies that want to provide an elf linker as a service product are out of scope. Deciding what is in scope and what is out of scope is probably one of the hardest decisions in product engineering. Because many of us software engineers lean towards perfectionism or, especially inexperienced developers are searching for the silver bullet, that set of rules that enables them to develop every product successfully.

Ah sorry I missed you saying d2 not D1.

There's very little technology risk, but there's absolutely enormous business risk in any technology venture. There's a reason no bank will loan 250k-650k to a 2-5 person tech startup with no revenue.
What would that change? If this->count was a pointer you'd still have to de-reference it explicitly. Or am I missing the point of your argument?
When we're talking about bans on social media, context doesn't matter. How many stories have you read of someone trying to argue and explain context to overturn a ban, only to have the appeal rejected? (And if it is overturned, it's only because strings were pulled.)

When someone gets banned, a reason might be given, but context never is.
> "It doesn't surprise me that a massive, powerful, super-conducting electromagnet is capable of doing this. What surprises me is that it is only effecting Apple products"

May I suggest an hypothesis (I would be happy to hear from other people whether this might make sense. I didn't see this possibility mentioned by anyone on the Reddit page) : of course Apple is very secretive about their implementation details, yet as far as I know they are the only consumer brand who implemented Ultra Wide Band at large scale (in a quite innovative way, they can be praised for that !). See https://developer.apple.com/nearby-interaction/

I suspect that UWB implies having an RF receiver and antenna which are "wide open" in terms of frequency selectivity, which means that in the event of a strong RF pulse in the spurious domain, more energy might enter in the device compared to other brands. Maybe that's an explanation why Apple devices (and only those) were burned by an EMP ?
they should be using SQLite more often than they are.
I'll bite: The CEO would do just fine at flipping burgers if that were their job. Honestly, after only a few weeks of training, the CEO will probably do better at flipping burgers than the average employee. Everyone sucks at a job when they start out and it's a strawman to say that if you took the CEO to flip burgers for a day, they would suck at it compared to someone who has been flipping burgers for years.
OP was using that use case as their example, but this is about standardisation so it needs to fit a range of use cases, most importantly the common ones.

How do you restrict one use case and not another? If a restriction is opt-in in a standard it's not useful.
It's just another of myriad variables to weight when considering the opportunity vs. others. Maybe the bad interviewer data point just bumps up the minimum compensation you'd accept for that particular opportunity, assuming you even get an offer.

What's important here is you don't react to a bad interviewer unprofessionally by becoming a bad interviewee, producing a high probability of creating no offer at all.

Friction occurs in any professional setting, how you handle it is part of what you bring to the table as a potential employee. Keep your eye on the ball; pursuit of the best offer one can garner.

What you do with that offer is completely orthogonal. Even if you decide in the moment of that bad interviewer being a jerk that you'd never work for the company, there's no reason not to still kill it and discover what compensation you're walking away from. Plus it's just plain good practice at not empowering individuals to negatively affect your behavior/performance.
Not if the employee is hired from a proxy company in the target country.

Competitive evolution is seen everywhere, from plants evolving poison to deter animals from eating it to foxes evolving to hunt rabbits and rabbits evolving to avoid foxes. Cooperative evolution is definitely a thing, but you can't say that competition isn't a massive part of evolution.
Trump was a fairly average right-wing politician. Another Bush, or McCain, or Romney would have nominated the same Supreme Court Justices and had more or less identical policy.

The few times Trump went against the grain he was overruled in the House and Senate, and ultimately he peacefully transferred power to the next president despite the rioting after he lost the election. So the implicit argument that he was some kind of danger to democracy or radical force that tore up the fabric of society seems like nothing more than partisanship. At the least his actions didn't seem like a huge departure from any other politician. I remember in 2016 the exact opposite people were claiming the election was rigged and the results needed to be overturned.
As an interviewer, I'd never mock somebody for saying their favorite language was Scheme (or any other language). I'd ask why it's their favorite, and maybe that day I'd be the one learning.
Say "have a lawyer" instead of your lawyer would convey that point without that baggage of someone sounding like they don't understand that most people don't already have a lawyer in the same way they have a dentist.
I would pair that with making them explain though. 1, It's fair and reasonable. No one reasonable can have a problem with it. 2, The response is more informative than the initial event itself.

If it's unusual, then they should have no problem saying that and even apologizing. Or do they act like that was fine and why are you such a baby?

Basically the same way I'd react or expect anyone else to react to the same action in any other context.

"What's up with that guy?" or "What was that?" Should be easy enough to answer.

The difference between "We don't know, and we apologize for that." and "What do you mean?" tells you more about the culture than the intial act by that one person.

I try to cut it early to stop wasting time, especially if its a small company and you will likely be working with that person. I had to do this twice out of 5 companies I interviewed at from YC a couple years back.

US taxes are similar to UK taxes, particularly in california. Putting £95k into Salary Calculator [0] says you take home ~67% of your salary after taxes. £95k is ~$120k today, and putting that into this [1] calculator says you take home ~64% of your salary.

Pretty much, unless asked, these places don't really want to hear about pure interests. You say Lisp in terms of industry relevance, they might be thinking "Okay, this guy is clearly a luddite and would make a scary employee".
I think the main issue will be with ORMs that are tightly coupled to a specific SQLite driver, such as Prisma.
This is nasty, especially the plaintext password leak. I wonder if you could build a chrome extension to monitor for patterns like this — just like at the payloads being sent while you're typing and pattern-match (without keylogging itself, or maybe allow it but keep it open-source)
Anytime I have brought colleagues in to interview a candidate, during the introduction, I'll note that "Bob from devops will be joining us, but he may get called away" based on the circumstances however I would not appreciate a coworker stepping out without an explanation for the candidate as that would reflect horribly on the organization in my opinion.
For context, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook embedded browsers have bigger shares of market than many major browsers. A LOT of web is being consumed in those WebViews. There is also WeChat that is an entire universe of WebViews.
Literally true, they don't have to be. The best ones I've had always were (in their day). They don't have to be active great coders, but they have to understand and weigh in on discussions.

How good would managers at SpaceX be if they didn't understand rocketry? A good manager is not as transferable to managing software developers as much as say a good salesperson is to software sales.
I was recently laid off along with >30% of the company.

I really liked the job, I had full autonomy to do whatever I wanted. Research new tech, optimize our existing infrastructure, etc. I was the sole SysAdmin and I ran the operations very well. The problem: Pay was stagnate. The pay was decent for my region, but a far cry from larger metro areas and others with my skills.

So I started looking online and found a great opportunity.
As a bonus: The pay is $50k+ MORE then what I was making before.

And I still work from home.

So, yes I did feel underpaid; now I don't.
I think your answer was appropriate. It's very hard to find the best response in this kind of unexpected situation. Probably best to continue the interview, and report the bad behaviour to the recruiter/HR.
You’re breaking a basic user expectation while delivering little value. I say don’t reinvent the wheel and put navigation where everyone expects it.
> As such, your views come across as the kind of statement that are illegal to distribute concerning regulated investment.

What kind of nonsense is that? I'm just some rando on the internet.
well we all like to think we're the sole reason "the company" makes any money but there's a lot more to the equation than just the person typing out the code. Without the code there would be no value but the code is meaningless without all the other expertise required to turn it into bank deposits. The technical part is maybe 10% (if not lower) of the overall effort to get a paycheck in your hands.
So if samsung knows apple wants to use some part from some vendor they will actually go to that vendor and attempt to buy out their stock? Seems like there is a market for unscummy vendors who won't do that to you then.
> The money we make pales in comparison with the size of our contributions to the company.

That’s a tautology though. They wouldn’t hire someone to break even and they wouldn’t hire someone to make a little more money since there’s work and risk in hiring.
While I agree making a bad loan is the most likely reason for a bank to lose deposits, I wouldn't go so far as to call it "the" reason.

Robbery, embezzlement, or natural disaster [1] can also result in loss of funds that would be covered by FDIC, and those risks exist for cryptocurrency too, albeit in somewhat different forms.

I have been trying, unsuccessfully for 2 years to validate my account on Coinbase. I have over 100k in ETH stored in their wallet, have the highest levels of access to their services but CANNOT trade because they have NO HUMANS available. Their systems DO NOT work and there is NO contact info nor any way to actually reach a person.

So I have been trading with others and will never use CB for anything but cold storage. (Which they're great at)...

The company is the worst I have ever dealt with. There is no way to interact with a person. So if something does happen, you have NO RECOURSE.

Based on my experience, they will be bankrupt. This is a certainty. You cannot have a financial entity that has ZERO human interaction or service. No trust, none at all...
>So, what is it really? Is there one Write-Master that is asynchronously replicated to all other locations? Will writes be forwarded to this master and then replicated back?

Not a lot of detail, but that is mentioned:

"But we're going further. With D1, it will be possible to define a chunk of your Worker code that runs directly next to the database, giving you total control and maximum performance—each request first hits your Worker near your users, but depending on the operation, can hand off to another Worker deployed alongside a replica or your primary D1 instance to complete its work."
As someone on the other side of the table, if someone doesn't feel an interview is going well (either because they can see they aren't going to get hired or because they don't think they would accept even if they were offered), I want you to politely tell us something along the lines of "I'm sorry, but I don't believe this is the best fit for either of us. I appreciate the chance, but I think we should end it here." Each side shakes hands with a smile, and we go on our own ways. In the end, it's a waste of your time and our time if either side has already made up their mind. We, the interviewers, end interviews early semi-frequently (for example, if one is going poorly we will just skip a coding test). There's no reason the interviewee can't do the same.

Just be polite about it. Don't burn any bridges. You never know when the other interviewers (the ones who stayed in your case) will be interviewing you at another company and remember you for leaving a bad taste in their mouth.
I mean that was the whole reason Musk bought twitter, you will never convince me otherwise.

But are there things that can get you banned on the "new" twitter?

Because then any concern about unbanning him and similar is a moot point because they will be banned again within a month or two as long as rules are enforced.

However I am dubious rules will be enforced. I think everything is going to be "nudge nudge wink wink".
So its a bad look for a special interest group to pursue that interest when a Republican operative is involved? I don’t understand how the two are related. Are you saying Brett Kavanaugh was wrongly construed, that he will support civil liberties? Seems like money well spent by the ACLU.
Its not a great comparison. You might as well get a flip phone, the price difference can be even greater. A better argument is that you are paying for access to iOS which makes more sense.

$200K/yr and a family of 3 like the author, assuming he takes advantage of public school and lives relatively frugally, you can afford a 4-bedroom house in a not-bad part of the Bay Area in 10 years in the best case. And you need your salary to keep up with the real estate market. So yeah, it definitely depends! Hope your wife works, too…
> I'm not a constitutional scholar, but this seems moderately dubious to me, but it might be constitutionally viable maybe.

It is one of the powers specifically granted to congress so this isn’t one of their “commerce clause gives us power over everything” shenanigans.
I agree with that.

Do you agree that should be weighted by the need of the country to remain competitive, say in the hypothetically scenario where we came to the conclusion that the average american is lazy, and that that's the core reason why immigrants replace them?

The interesting part here is he finally got his green card after 18 years only because he married an Australian citizen and wasn’t blocked by the county quota anymore.

It's very simple, elegant, and powerful -- like no other language I know (and I've learned well over a dozen, of a variety of paradigms).

It's easy to write, easy to read, and easily does everything I need. I prize clarity over almost anything else when programming, and Scheme lets me do that way more effectively than anything else. There's very little syntax or boilerplate to get in the way.

It's also very consistent, and I like that.

The worst languages feel cobbled together or congealed rather than designed. Scheme is the opposite of that.
Let me flip your question too: why do you think it matters?
You are taking the analogy too literally. Lending to a country/corporation is different to lending to a person. There is no such a thing as "free time" for a country. If the president wants to gamble his own wealth on bitcoin this is absolutely fine.

Further, you would be punishing him if he renounced his gambling addiction, but if he is still convinced that his gambling adventures is the right course of action to preserve and create wealth for his country then withholding fund is actually for his benefit.
