The regulation does not require devices to only support USB-C, just that they at least support USB-C for charging. They can always have multiple ports. If the 40Gbps offered by USB-C is really not enough for you, then your device is probably big enough that multiple ports does not mess up your device's form factor.

Also, the regulation does not require devices to support USB-C forever, just that all devices support the same open charging standard. That standard can and will evolve over time; maybe not as fast as it would if not regulated, but it's pretty contrived to think it would actually stifle innovation.

I'm not saying that's the bar across all companies, that's ridiculous. I'm saying my bar is someone has to prove they are competent for me to trust them with my money.

And given how many crypto scams there have been, one's bar should be higher than your normal startup, unless you don't care about losing money put into it.

It's the same way I don't let a friend borrow money if he's generally irresponsible or burned me in the past just because he guarantees he can double it by the end of the month.

I don't know if you're implying this, but it seems like you think because every company has to start somewhere it means they inherently deserve trust and little criticism to help them along?
I agree. Google should get a better price here, or drop the perk.
Does Google help the family with detailed claim resolution in the event of an employee's death? I don't have evidence either way, but that seems more personal than I'd expect.
I really dislike these kinds of utilities—inescapable `--verbose` mode with superfluous color, animations, and other distractions.

It's your prerogative to make something that looks neat, but please limit it to an opt-in for the types of people who already spend their free time installing Vim plugins and tweaking their shell. For everyone else, take a cue from the design of standard Unix utilities and allow the default experience to be less chaotic; output nothing on success, and on failure, a simple descriptive message. Otherwise, no throbbers, no vaporwave aesthetics, no terminal graphics—just a record that a simple dialog on a simulated teletype has taken place.
This is completely standard in every big corporation Ive worked for, both in Europe and North America. I think it’s just a corporate flex: “when you’re with us, you’re covered”
What's your point? That we shouldn't research medicine because humans have been using plants with healing properties since forever? That we shouldn't study the world because we're already living in it? That it's useless to explain one's self since one already exists?
I still see them every year. The absolute number seems to wax and wane, but I think their peak is pretty short, like a day or two, so if you don’t time it juuuuuust right, you aren’t going to see as much.

But take that with a grain of salt, it’s not like I’ve done research here, that’s just my feel. And I’m pretty sure the big fields I see them in regularly don’t get hit with pesticides.
That’s already been gamed: author just makes sure the actual information you came for is past the wall, and then writes the top of the article like it’s a cliffhanger episode.

Internet standards have consistently failed to innovate. Email and IRC have failed to progress along with proprietary platforms. Features like end to end encryption require user effort and plugins which never took off.

Having 5 IM apps installed is much preferable to me than 1 worse app. Not sure the situation for XMPP but I have been told its highly fragmented with extensions that not all clients support. If I'm talking with someone, I want a high level of assurance that their client is pretty much the same as mine and that all features work and look roughly the same on both sides.
But how would you speak-out when they took it all away a year later?

Back when I had severe memory problems because of health problems, one thing that helped me was using the Reminders App. I added a Siri shortcut, so as soon as I realized what I had to do, I added it there and whenever I felt like I was missing something, would just reference it.

Sticky Notes can work really well too, if you don't let them get out of hand.

I have talked with a couple of lawyers, but were not clear enough whether should I go with a company first and then build my MVP.

Half of them told me to go for it and later to worry about registering a company and the other half told me to register a company first and then build my service.

I'm totally confused right now...
LOL... based on what? They might as well order Google to poop rainbows, cause that carries about the same weight unless they have a permissible reason to demand the information.
A lot of small business dental plans cost the company nothing extra to offer to employees because the cost is passed onto the employee directly. It is an optional 'perk' that is offered by the insurance company, but it is almost worthless in value. A lot of employees don't do the math and just tack on the extra monthly fee. But, if you do the math on them, it often doesn't work out to opt into that perk, even in an emergency case.
back when google was great, my manager had to call a coworker's parents, who lived in Iran, and explain that their son had been badly injured in a parachute accident and was in the hospital, but that Google would be paying all his bills and we'd do the best to get him back on teh ground so he could eventually return to the office. (said employee left right after to be a VP at a bank. I thought that was a jerk move).
Not as much, but the most common modern currency substrate is PET which is probably the most recyclable plastic. There are a lot of 'wtf' moments when one gets a glimpse behind the veil of an otherwise super secretive industry but this part at least is actually surprisingly mundane.
We were making too much stuff. Banks decided we needed to buy less stuff so they made less money. Now the leftover stuff will sit because we won’t make enough money for ourselves to buy it. We’ll adjust by reducing how much stuff we make so there’s no extra stuff to sit. Once that happens the economy will not be bad anymore and then we’ll make more money to buy stuff that doesn’t exist so we can start making more stuff…
How is the imperative way painful in Haskell? Nothing stops you from just writing everything in the IO monad if you feel your algorithm is easier to write in an imperative style.
> With so many better options for configuration languages, there’s no good reason to use JSON

I have been surprised by how silly that conclusion is, even though it's from 2018.

JSON is so bad it is on the standard library of all major languages, natively supported by php, python, nodejs, javascript, ruby and many others, unlike YAML, TOML, FADFH or whatever solution someone comes up to a problem that is essentially solved.

If you want perfection then by all means reinvent the wheel. But otherwise, don't be an edgy teen, just go with what the entire industry tells you that works.
i dont know, i left the bay area. for reasons including the above.
> Yes, I'm referring to programmer circle related social networks (HN, r/programming, ...).

> Yes, given the fact that it's praised to such a high degree, users might have extremely high expectations

May I suggest the problem is not with the language, then? As a fellow HNer that you can trust, I also have an extremely well-made bridge to sell you if you're interested.

> Because performance problems are particularly hard to solve in Haskell due to its high level of abstraction.

That doesn't match with my experience using the language. But again, how often do you have to solve performance issues that are more complex than a misplaced quadratic function in other languages? If it's frequent enough, wouldn't you consider using a language like rust or CPP rather than something like Java, Go or Python?

Doesn't Google accelerate RSUs upon death?
Unless your code is strictly glue between those lower-level APIs, GC is still a benefit for the majority of it. And, on the other hand, the lack of it in FFI is, at worst, similar to C... except you still have all the other language features (like, say, null safety or pattern matching) at your disposal.

I'm genuinely curious as to what would make FFI in Rust easier than in C#, assuming an apples-to-apples comparison (i.e. use of "unsafe" and associated features in both cases"). Most complexity in P/Invoke shows up when you try to use it to automatically map data to managed data types; but in modern C#, you might as well just use raw pointers, stackalloc, spans etc.
Nikon actually supplied the machines for Intel through their 10nm debacle. Canon has completely retired into the low end market, but used to be massive. You're right that I forgot about Applied Materials.
But neither the market nor elections gets the right answer either in terms of "correct" or "legitimate".

It’s not really, if you’ve every tried drawing, it’s the shape and outline that are the hardest to do.
I think that the term "fun" is pretty narrow and ultimately a poor descriptor of what makes a game interesting to play. It seems like a lot of discussions on the subject tend toward this realization.
"Engaging" or "compelling" I think are potentially better words but both sound pretty sterile and corporate to me.
What about the more than twenty-something workers? Does Google pay more for them?

I agree it might not be good for twenty-somethings. And I'm sorry, your expected value is low here. The tax situation makes this awkward, an ask I'd rather not make. But: I hope you're ok paying the taxes on this free benefit, if it includes older folk too. They do have- I'm sorry to report- an expected positive value.

In healthcare, a group-pool means the healthy & young pay a little more than their fair share. But it means we all can have benefits. And if catastrophe does happen, well, everyone's glad this is here.

I might cheekily throw in that we can possibly unwind some of the college-educated 0.3x multiplier, because Googlers have enough money to get themselves into some stupid & dangerous hobbies & travel. I wonder if that's actually real... Probably not.
Take a look at the Algorand ecosystem. Maybe build a tool or something. Try working for yourself with some kind of service or product.

Sure, every frame announces its own length in the frame header, so the frame content iself does not need to be escaped (apart from the usual escaping of MP3 synchronisation markers, called „unsynchronisation“, but that’s not relevant to the question at hand).

I would suggest that you will struggle to grow in the mainstream with that theme.
Physically? A lot harder than converting it to unleaded gasoline. For one, existing aircraft are designed around storing the heavy fuel near the center of lift/mass. (One benefit, the aircraft keeps its trim as the fuel is burned.) This video by Real Engineering [0] is a great overview. You could fit a propane cylinder into the tail of a Cessna 172, but now there's a lot more weight aft, the aircraft might be difficult to trim and exhibit unsafe handling characteristics. This same packaging issue exists with hydrogen-powered aircraft. Retrofitting is infeasible, lifting body designs are one possible solution.

Administratively, getting the FAA to certify it? Hahahahahaha.

Thanks for giving it another go. Setting up Synapse itself should be super easy though - it’s just an https listener pointed at by an srv record or .well-known uri. We don’t need weird certificates or reverse proxy contortions these days (since Matrix left beta in 2019); it really should be a few minutes max to do it from git or pip, or a few seconds via apt or similar.

Now, setting up a bunch of bridges is indeed harder, but they are deliberately entirely separate apps, each with their own foibles. But just like you wouldn’t blame Apache httpd for some fiddly 3rd party Apache module, I wouldn’t blame Synapse for the complexities of running bridges.
This is the more promising direction than printing or robot building from atoms on site...
What’s going on is you’re using a notoriously broken email service. It’s not only putting your important emails in the spam bucket, but spying on the content of all your email. The rudimentary client doesn‘t even thread properly (https://lwn.net/Articles/837960/). Mail delivery, both in and out, when it does work, is slow.

I suggest either hosting your own or using a reputable provider.

I think "increased regulations" is a wide spectrum. Extremes (I believe) are rarely a good thing.

"Confiscate money from all people in Casino" / "Confiscate all Bitcoin" are, I believe, extremes.both

"Issue licenses for gambling, provide oversight, age restrict, run information campaigns about dangers of gambling, create support and help programs", is, I think, reasonable (and we can further discuss details, and we do; "Are loot boxes gambling"; "should state / group X run casinos"; who and how should be able to gamble, what is the right amount if disclosure, what is an informed responsible consenting adult, etc. All good things for us as society to honestly discuss).

"Ensure bitcoin income is taxed (like every other investment), that it follows disclosure rules (like every other investment), that it is open and transparent and licensed, etc cetera", is I think reasonable and merely catches up the playing field and closes off loopholes that EVERYbody knew were temporary loopholes (and smarter people than me can discuss details). "Government should not spend gazillion dollars blindly investing into this technology hoping to find problem to solve" is also, I think, a statement I'd stand behind. And not unique - there are MILLION fads or technologies or endevours I don't want government to invest in, so don't feel picked on :)

IF that latter option still somehow causes everybody involved to lose money... well ain't that just food for thought though, right? It means people were literally banking/hoping/assuming they can do things without oversight and through magical loopholes forever. I don't want to say "illegally" because there may or may not have been a law in time with new technology. But crypto and bitcoin are almost as much fun to discuss as religion with a Christian apologetic - it gets all shifty very quickly; it is and isn't investment, or a transactional system, or currency, or stable, or volatile, or private or public,or efficient, or safe, reversible or fixed, etc etc depending on needs of the moment and which point we're trying to make.

I don't see anything synonymous with "Confiscate" in that letter. I see it as a small attempt to counterpoint the massive over-enthusiasm, bluster, lobbying, and tall tales that abound around crypto (there may or may not be a nugget of useful technology, use case, future approaches in blockchain; willing to discuss that; but anybody that rejects the observable amount of scam and dishonesty in today's actual crypto implementations, investments, sales pitches and pushes and frankly disinformation campaigns, is not having an honest conversation with me and/or is trying to sell me something and/or has been sold/swindled themselves).

This is akin to the landing impact when you jump from something low enough that you won't die from it. You wouldn't survive it in a sustained manner, but the brief jolt, while maybe causing your innards to ache, is tolerated.
This is a complete misunderstanding of probability, payoff, and return on investment.

The value of a life insurance policy isn’t in its amortized yearly returns. This policy is not an investment. The policy allows you to pay a negligible amount of money to avoid a devastating situation — family pain and debt that might arise from your death.

Anybody who uses this article as justification to end their life insurance policy is so badly mistaken that it hurts.

Edit — the “buy it yourself” argument is stupid. It doesn’t solve the problem outlined in the article.
I don't think we have read the same bits about the history of the internet. Openness and individual empowerment had absolutely nothing to do with the origins of the net.

The main purpose as far as I have it down was to create a method for (government) researchers to communicate and to have a reliable communications network in wartime.

Feel free to rewrite history any way you want it though. Perhaps you were confusing the world-wide-web and the internet?
With Tailscale, and the Tor accessibility you would think even a simple blog application as well as plex/Jellyfin would be default out the gate.

It's no wonder people have started to report problems upstreams because downstream bug reports rarely ever get picked up on. If they do, it's with 10 comments of "okay, try it with this" which don't work and then nothing until a bot closes the bug because a new major version came out and therefore all bugs are now no longer relevant.

Most error messages I've googled have led me to unresolved Linux bugs in various distros. Fedora users seem especially good at reporting bugs to their distro maintainers, though this does not always result in any kind of solution.

In my opinion, every distro should be allowed to ship their version of a package, but the moment packages get frozen (i.e. for LTS distros) or custom patches get added (i.e. Debian) all contact links to upstream developers should be removed immediately and replaced with the email address of the maintainer of the package. This should hopefully prevent the jwz problem while at the same time bringing the users of these distros the stable release cycle they want.
You could make a similar case for audio. GP described Opus as "the definitive codec for lossy compression", which made me do a bit of a double take. Opus is absolutely the technically superior audio format, but when you want to give users a file you'll be sure they can play, you give them an MP3.

I expect JPEG and PNG to become for images what MP3 is today. And I expect H.264 to become that for video. These formats are too ingrained, whatever their technical limitations.

Technologists consistently underestimate the power of backwards compatibility. Itanium was better than AMD64, DVORAK is better than QWERTY, and I'm sure Esperanto is lightyears ahead of the monstrosity that is English. But backwards compatibility always wins, because it fits what the world was already designed around.

-----

(To be fair to GP, they said Opus is the definitive choice for the web, which may be true for integrated in-browser playback. But in other contexts, well, Amazon sells MP3s, not Opus files.)
To be honest, I don't know the detailed structure for this as I'm relatively young and have the luxury of it being out of mind at the moment.

What I know is that you will for sure have allies that you wouldn't have on an individual basis.

For example, my wife would be able to call up my colleagues (from my team that I work with every day) and ask for connections to HR or whatever. They would definitely help her because 1) they care about me as a person and 2) they are invested from a game theory perspective, because they also want to know that they'll be paid out if the same thing happens to them.

Most likely, there is some existing structure to actually help, as Google is at the scale where this kicks in non-zero times.

However, I just looked it up on the internal search and as you'd expect, it differs based on your country and its laws. So I can't speak for all Googlers
I will be brutally honest and hoping to help you with some advice. You have a few red flags that may give a pause to prospective employers and it has nothing to do with your doing boring PHP etc.

- You have not worked for 2.5 years. That is a big gap and you need to be explain it well. Unfortunately there is lot of competition these days and anyone with that large of a gap without a good and reasonable explanation will find it difficult.

- You have never seemed to hold a proper W2 job and if you now are looking for one, you have to make that case which is not easy. For example, what happened with that 3 months full time W2 and then unemployed ? Did you quit yourself ? Were you let go/laid off/fired ?

I think your biggest challenge is that you have technically "worked" for over a decade but seems like you don't have much to show for it unfortunately. This is where most employers may get a pause.

Good news it that PHP, vanilla JS/jQuery etc are very much in demand. You need to be more focussed in your approach and fix the negatives. Perhaps go back to one of our freelance clients and ask for a job if they are hiring ? You need to have someone vouch for you since you have been out there for a long time. Then go from there.

I hope this was helpful and not overly critical. Just trying to give it to you straight.
You can't possibly know. Just as you can't possibly know if anyone else experiences a subjective experience or if you're the only one who does. In practice, it is advisable to act as if agents who behave as if they had a subjective experience really do (people, AGIs, animals, etc.).

Because, from my understanding: it's hard to preserve things and the code is usually pretty crappy and the data is often unintelligible without a lot of help from whoever was processing it. Obviously preservation of research outputs is a noble cause, but there's very little incentive for anyone to actually document and preserve these things unless it's a requirement of the field (e.g. high-profile AI stuff). The incentive to not do that is that you save time and can jump to the next project, and also no one is pestering you about your crappy code and/or data.

Think about all of the fancy dependencies a piece of code might need to run. Think of all of the processing steps some data needed to go through. Think of the work required to set up some computational cluster without which the work just doesn't happen. Doing it once is hard enough, documenting it so anyone else can do it is maybe an order of magnitude harder.
Indeed, agree. I'm on a rolling distro (Manjaro) and I'm pretty happy. I see a lot of discontent in Linux land around this conflict though, so I though I would try to lay it out. Example a lot of people don't like the practice of curl'ing shell scripts on to their boxes, that many developer tools like Rust and Deno use for installing their tooling. The more server oriented folks see it as border-line crazy, while many developers are totally fine with it. Clearly to me they're coming at the issue from different points of view and it would be nice to fully support both communities.
