The rejection notice that the developer posted said "Your app is uploading users Contact List without an adequate disclosure. For further details on the valid prominent disclosure requirement, please review the [linked] section under the User Data Policy".

The developer asserted that they were only leaking the domain names from users contacts, but that's still something that users should be aware of.

Full disclosure, I work for Google so maybe I have some biases, but IMO that's a pretty clear message telling the dev why the app was rejected and how to resolve the issue.
.mt huh thats a new one for me
I think it's partly due to: people like regular garden-variety arrays and hashmaps, and don't want to use car, cdr, cons. I like my array and hashmap literals.

Sure, small talk is fine. Only that under the Indian caste system the consequences, and intentions, are much more sinister and severe.
This encourages an undesirable outcome: Police now know that Group A's ratings will be more heavily weighted and Group B's ratings will not be heavily weighted. They will then be incentivized to treat Group A with kid gloves and mistreat Group B, regardless of what caused the police interaction.

I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to consider what the police might use as a proxy/heuristic to figure out what group a suspect is in.

I imagine it can get annoying to create another git repo every single time you want to share code between some projects. It becomes an even bigger pain when you have to update more than one repo at the same time. A monorepo makes it easier to keep versions in sync and encourages code reuse because it's all in one place.

I'm still not convinced about that. For one, they're running the biggest closed-source Git hosting service (GitHub) and exploiting open-source projects to fuel their paid proprietary service (Copilot).

> Who is a scumbag?

Easy question. 99% of those arrested are scumbags.

This is speaking as someone who has been to jail and met the population that gets arrested. They are the worst, and their opinion in regard to rating cops should be largely ignored.
Elitism comes with a lot of rationalizations to justify the beliefs about who is worthy or not.

Typically one of them is "sharing these key characteristics with me make you better than those who don't", these characteristics often involve some kind of racial-like features.
IMO step 1 is figuring out what kind of business you want to build.
>Although these topics are not related to coding at all, they make me a better engineer and engineering leader.

This is fine for shallow problems in the business space, but eventually you will get to harder problems and will need to collaborate with experts. Experts are experts because they spend many hours on those subjects. You are an expert at engineering because you spend many hours on that subject.

Don't let your recently acquired domain knowledge make you overconfident enough to not reach out to experts. Everyone thinks they know how something works until someone more knowledgeable comes along.

>instead of expecting someone (e.g., product managers) to tell you which product features to develop, you should be able to tell what are the most critical problems your users or product are facing and find the best solutions that fit into your product and engineering strategy.

Which is fine if the problems are obvious and there are easy wins to be had. Your solution's effectiveness is limited by your expertise in the domain.

This is a regular pattern I see, which is "developers pretending to be experts at everything because they're good at picking up knowledge and skills". There is a time component you can't skip when acquiring domain knowledge.

Additionally, while it's great to strive to be an expert in both engineering and the domain, you're naturally doing two jobs for the price of one. Many domain experts with a singular expertise might also make more than developers striving to be double-experts at the lesser price of a developer.
Had a similar thing happen - I was underpaying my mortgage by a few cents every month and the credit union caught this. I was able to go to the branch, give them the difference and they didn't fine me anything. Very personal service from the branch manager, which honestly made me more of a fan.
This is clever and I agree with the comments regarding their heart being in the right place but this is a flawed approach. The customer service experience of criminals isn't the right thing to optimize and probably has nothing to do with outcomes if not inversely correlated with crime reduction. The very idea that we can view and treat police officers like we do customer service people at say the mall I would argue is causing issues between community and police. If you're ever talking to a police officer you're obligated to follow their lawful commands, and if you have any issue with them the forum to litigate that is court not with the police or through something like a net promoter score. If anything the experience of the people not interacting with the police aka the broader community IS the thing to optimize for. Maybe mail out surveys and ask people where the police are doing well and where they could be more helpful.
i think "significantly better maintained than public roads" is sufficient. "meticulous" might be a stretch, but for the most part, track condition is not something you have to worry about to the degree you have to keep an eye out for tar snakes and potholes and oil slicks and whatnot on the road -- and in the event of trouble, you have corner workers who will tell you about it, too!

“100 true fans? Try 10”
Why?

It’s kind like human rights - the majority of people who are at risk of having them infringed are unpleasant or unsympathetic characters.

I’d argue a cliché “upstanding law-abiding citizen” type doesn’t generally have that much to fear from a police interaction. They are generally being dealt with on a presumption of good faith, and have at least some access to leverage and ability to push back against unfair treatment. Someone who’s already been identified as a “scumbag” doesn’t, and that is why their treatment is more illuminating.

And what are those groups?

There are many of them and they vary by region. Police very observably interact differently with richer versus poorer groups, for example, or with groups from different ethnic backgrounds.
>language would be impossible

Actually, as you're seeing, defining words based on how you feel makes language more difficult than just understanding what the article is about.

The Economist is using the word "recession" to mean what economists define it as: two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth.

So what's the point of commenting on the article and then rejecting the article's assumption? If someone wrote an article on compilers, would you jump in to say that Microsoft Word is a compiler in your heart?

The accepted definition of the word "recession" is not "how pfortuny feels about his financial prospects whatever the GDP says."
Good addition!

> “of late”, expressed “disinclination” because “politically loaded”

Motorcycle tracks are a different experience. You walk the track to get rid of debris; identify potential challenges. With no cage around you it’s a different ball game. Its still dangerous but proper gear mitigates some of the risk. I’ve had a couple of low sides on the track with no long term effects.
I'm not sure I understand, this is the point I'm trying to make. Varo is going to be able to support more customers since they have fewer variable costs. Legacy banks are going to have to pay for real estate and their labor force through worse interest rates and fees.
Those issues are covered by emacs distributions like spacemacs or doom emacs. I wouldn't use vanilla emacs but I don't think there's much reason to try fix it, the old school people like to build their own configurations on top of vanilla emacs, so changing that would interfere with their workflow, and if you want something more opinionated and functional by default, there's the distributions.
Layman? My degree is literally in economics. And yes it was obvious. Any economist who didn't see it is probably a bought shill.

It's not 50/50. What happened is orthodox economics ie. academic consensus. And Krugman is a shill, FYI.
> We've never been a democracy

I’ve definitely heard it argued that the brief commonwealth between Charles I and II was the first modern democracy, where ‘modern’ means a system somewhat like current democracies rather than ‘after 1500’.
Given the very low number of negative reviews in the pilot programs (only one negative review at Virginia Commonwealth Univ.), I think these can be reviewed on a case by case basis. As the supervisor mentioned, he went over the body cam footage with the officer. Seems like a great learning tool on how to be a better public servant.
If you still have them, can you share those emails with names redacted?
The official statement of whether we're in a recession or not comes from the National Bureau of Economic Research, and the definition has been more complicated since at least 2008: https://www.nber.org/news/business-cycle-dating-committee-an...

> The committee places particular emphasis on two monthly measures of activity across the entire economy: (1) personal income less transfer payments, in real terms and (2) employment. In addition, we refer to two indicators with coverage primarily of manufacturing and goods: (3) industrial production and (4) the volume of sales of the manufacturing and wholesale-retail sectors adjusted for price changes. We also look at monthly estimates of real GDP such as those prepared by Macroeconomic Advisers (see http://www.macroadvisers.com). Although these indicators are the most important measures considered by the NBER in developing its business cycle chronology, there is no fixed rule about which other measures contribute information to the process.

The phone thing has veered into outright fraud. Twitter just paid a $150,000,000 fine to the (US) FTC for letting advertisers match on telephone numbers provided for 2FA.

I am really tired of people selling my burner phone to the credit people; and no, I don't own that phone number. Prove I do.

Take my local credit union. Please. Jackasses let someone have access to my checking account. I don't bank online with them either, or I didn't, but last summer was trying to talk to them about a refi and I had to register online and they wanted a phone for 2FA. So of course instead of calling the land line, which is clearly and incontrovertibly mine, they called the burner. Several times.

Eventually I answered it with "fuck you you frauds" and they were "oooh sir, call me back on my direct line" so I tried... from my land line in the same area code, you get the idea... and their system won't route the call to their fraud department. So I ignored them for a couple of weeks.

Seriously they were so incompetent that when the actual fraudsters were probing, the first transaction was a /deposit/. When they were finally trying to clean their mess up, they /credited/ me the same amount. I'm the one who figured it out and told them well you gave me 2x their original deposit, when you really should have debited the amount in the first place.

People like that are not going to safeguard your information.

I feel like this is a detour that we can avoid by adding a small cost to switching.

I love it. I love it in the same way I love the trick of a magician who fools me. Also, the answer of "two EVs" is particularly satisfying for me, because it resembles a similar confusion in poker tournaments where you need to account for chip EV and dollar EV separately.
Ask HN: Best ways to eval cloud providers
I have a nascent OSS project that helps deal with cloud infrastructure and want to test it on the free tiers of many cloud providers.

Unsurprisingly, the cloud providers only provide partial tooling to limit charges, and they are pretty cloud-specific.

One of the big sticking points is the credit card. I don't want to use my main credit cards / sources, I'd like to use a dedicated one with a low limit that will start rejecting charges quickly.

The "preloaded" cards are targeted at lower incomes with tons of predatory policies like decreasing balances and fees, and might not even be accepted by the providers. I wanted one of those for carrying around emergency money but couldn't find a single one that was intolerably predatory.

Otherwise any tools or "code zoos" for this specific task?

Anyone have any other tips around structuring your accounts for the clouds that will help lock them?
This comment comes up repeatedly on HN. While I somewhat agree, I would also suggest to not maximize your browser window by default, to avoid wide lines. I usually have my browser window square-ish.
We could get rid of the monarchy tomorrow and ordinary britons would notice zero change in our political and democratic freedoms. They are politically irrelevant, a few completely peripheral procedural and technical issues aside that make no real difference in the grand scheme of things.

I'm not sure if that's an argument for or against keeping the monarchy to be honest. They're a historical vestigial appendage of the state, but the idea that we're any less of a democracy because they're there is kind of silly.

I thought it was excellent and would thoroughly recommend it. From memory, it’s very well directed, acted and shot, with an excellent and fitting soundtrack.

Undo/redo is totally broken on some of modern forums with too rich formatting. Most of them can easily "forget" what was in a long comment you worked on for tens of minutes after clicking a "send" button if some network issue happens (and good luck for those who relies on heavy webpages with hundrends kB of JS code).

For me it is very rational to avoid some of too complicated features in software even if there weren't any bugs have been obserwed before. Especially if software is new and/or proprietary or if I'm working on something important or software has a Turing Mashine in it (Ethereum's Solidity, CSS3, macroses from MS Office etc). Another thing avoided to trust is any software "random" number generator if you have an access to coin or dice for accomplishing your task. Last but not least is not trusting to any connected device at all. So, I do not trust any software if to be honest and I hope my fear might be considered as rational.

The thing is, for most creators, there's not really much content to sell. The bulk of creators are going to distribute the vast majority of their content for free (they wouldn't be able to get the audience to monetize in the first place if they didn't), so if you're looking at it from the perspective of the value you get for your subscription fee, frankly for most podcasts you're not coming out ahead even at a dollar or two.

hi! Thank you for the reply and what a great point. I can relate and yes, a lot of business in Ukraine are urged to switch to other markets to survive. I assume their cold outreach attempts might look naive and exploiting. I still believe that begging for help and offering some services are different, and sorry that disturbed you, really.

I assume they still need to make payouts, keep workplaces and support the economy. From my perspective, begging for charity is not okay when you can bring value. Maybe I am just too optimistic about examples you mentioned.
