Exhibit C: Reneging on their own OSCP privacy promise[1]

P.S. and yes, I can keep this up all day, despite all the downvotes by Apple fantrolls.

Well I would just mention it looks like it to me but that’s an opinion, not a fact. I don’t think it’s dissimilar to any other financial advice though. Like some people think Amazon stock is a good investment. I personally don’t. That’s all :)
It's HR doing their job. Find bad managers and reduce attrition
Eh, I was more commenting on the difference between regulated/reversible vs unregulated/non-reversible spaces. Didn't know that deposit boxes were unregulated, so my point doesn't stand. Thanks for saying I am cute tho :)
In my experience, microservices are incompatible with the universe. All things are connected, sometimes in unforeseen ways.

Almost inevitably, some app or front-end is going to need a joined result from multiple services. If these services are "best practice" independent, they likely have their own data store.You can now bolt on some new architectural layer on top, thereby introducing a new point of failure. Or, you can let the front-end do sequential calls and do the join.

This is how you go from a traditional query in a single data store with a response time of 50ms to the modern equivalent taking multiple seconds. Not just due to the join, also due to the network, auth calls, and other overhead.

But hey, at least the microservice teams can operate and deploy independently. Which is a problem instead of a feature. Services require constant (unforeseen) changes from upstream demand whom now have to negotiate/wait for this "independent" team to be able to deliver.

Everything becomes slower and more difficult: planning, implementing, testing, debugging.

I'm not an absolutionist, I believe there are use cases for micro services but my main point is that reality is not as modular as you arbitrarily have modeled it.
If anyone wants to make an easy but useful improvement to GCC, might I suggest: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58770

Summary: headers that use pragma once are tracked using a list resulting in slow uniqueness checks. The performance fix is to use a hash table.
I think viewing this in terms of society-level power dynamics is a little too simplistic, and we can show that by example.

I have a white friend who moved into the Mission District in SF, mostly sight unseen, and hated it. For those not familiar, the Mission is a primarily hispanic community with lots of loud music, partying, street races, and people setting off fireworks at night. My friend from out of town was miserable with all the noise and had to break his lease early, he just couldn't understand how people could value their communal celebrations more than people's peace and quiet. Conversely, my friends who who grew up in the love it and being immersed in that culture is a huge source of their happiness.

While I'm not sure I'd use the phrasing "multiculturalism doesn't work", I think there's a real phenomenon here where people with like values are happier self-segregating into communities of people with similar values rather than integrating more fully and compromising on more of the things that are important to them.
First off - congratulations.

Secondly I genuinely hope you apologize to your wife and appreciate her sticking by you through what sound like mental issues. Sadly, a lot of people aren't so patient.
Well. While we're here...

> A motion sensor is not an "input device," it is a sensory monitor with thresholds and triggers controlled by the architect of the system, not the thing being monitored.

Is a microphone an input device? Does it depend on whose voice is captured? Or whether the speaker knows their voice is being captured?

> it would be nonsense to assert that the sun had painted a picture.

The action of the Sun is the proximate cause of the dropping paint. It is not under your control (unlike a brush), and it is not deterministic (though perhaps it is somewhat predictable). The Sun has more control over the result than you do, but the Sun is predictable enough that you feel like you have control.

All this is aside from the argument that the Sun is the ultimate author of all creative works on Earth. Which of course it is!
A problem here is that UUIDs are not actually a silver bullet against collision. You will never generate a UUID that will collide with someone else's, but it is easy for someone else to collide with you, either on purpose or because they made changes to data from your platform before sending it back (PKs tend to leak in URLs, APIs, data exports, etc).

I find that I have to implement a system for re-numbering incoming data on migration/import anyway, so the advantage of UUIDs is not that huge.
On the contrary, there's nothing people love more than blaming any problems on what the kids these days are enjoying, regardless of evidence.

The evidence is actually pretty clear, what's causing this vast increase in myopia is not spending enough time in bright environments (i.e. outside) during one's formative years. In that regard cellphones (since they can be used outdoors) are a huge improvement over e.g. television.

If we actually cared about fixing the problem, we'd be making it easier for children to spend time outside and making outdoor environments more welcoming for them. But that would require parents to allow children some freedom, or maybe even actually make some lifestyle changes of their own, whereas the revealed preference of parents is to lock their children up indoors all day and night doing something that looks like "studying" (i.e. pointless drills).
Totally agree, capturing the market should get government approval first. All the chain businesses should be banned, of course the ones you agree with can remain open.
This problem occurs exactly when founding a business - how do you apportion equity ownership when one central founder is essential, and co-founders have a multiplier effect on profitability? How do you deal with the uncertainty in the multiplier, or the future measurement of the multiplier?

The Shapley Value seems like a perfectly spherical moose optimum. A can create an annual profit of 100k, and A+B+C can create a profit 400k. A will only bring on B or C if A can get more than 100k.

Let us assume B is currently working in Chile and they would accept 40k (better than their current pay), and C works in the US and 120k is their minimum acceptable payoff to change jobs. The potential groups are:

* option X: A profit 100k

* option Y: A+B profit 200k, and A+B could argue over how to split the 60k excess.

* option Z: A+B+C profit 400k, and A+B+C could argue over how to split a 140k excess.

Or A just starts the business and keeps 100% ownership, and A offers B 40k, and offers C 120k, and A pays themselves 240k and A also gets 100% of the market value of the business. B + C complain that’s unfair, but accept the jobs anyway.
> Perhaps our way might not be that bad after all.

I think it's a fundamental error to call anything 'our way' or 'their way'. It prevents you - and them - from learning and integrating ideas. My way is to avidly learn and use the best ideas I can find, regardless of their source.
Your call, but it's the last time anyone there will care about your opinion.

That’s a pledge event for a frat, but it’s not an island in Lake Lagunita, which is no longer a lake or a lagunita.
Yes but most of that didn't happen when the Western Empire collapsed politically.

Most of that happened far later and guess what, to a significant extent it also happened in the East where the empire continued to exist.

The Justinian plague had for more to do with the things you mentioned then anything about if you lived in the empire or outside.

So a cultural convention for consensus on using a particular TLD is part of your definition of intrinsic value for a domain name. But for gold, the monetary premium for a similar social consensus is entirely distinct from the intrinsic value:

> But a portion of gold's market value is driven by a speculative spread over the intrinsic value, similar to BTC.

What is the definition of intrinsic value that allows both of these interpretations to be true?
I'm nitpicking here but wasn't the Dutch East India Company worth substantially more than today's tech companies?

What a sad story. I can really imagine being there and have fun, be creative and „grow up“ to be an adult with a purpose in life.

But now, this sounds like a soulless place, replaceable, replaceable like myself. Every student should be the same, no variations ... for what. I don’t get it.

This makes me very sad.
Show HN: App for Daily Journaling
Many years ago, I heard a Tim Ferris podcast with Robert Rodriguez is an avid journaler and used a bunch of Word documents to organize his daily notes. Ever since then, I couldn't get my mind off of a personal journaling system primarily organized by day; with a secondary topical organization by Label. After a few false starts of my own and wasting about $10K on an off-shore development company, I was still left with nothing. Recently, I decided to give it one more push and developed the first draft of my dream journaling tool.
I'm a developer, I want to also be a writer. Development comes much easier to me than writing.

This is an Angular app deployed into Firebase. This was my first time using Firebase. I never published an app in public before because I don't feel like I know enough about security. Firebase took all of the thinking out of it (I hope).

If interested, see https://journal-ease.com. I only have Google login because I need it to properly secure the app and FireStore. Also, I promise to send only the occasional development status emails for the foreseeable future.

Still ugly and have a long ways to go, but I wanted to share this to see what people think. (Note if document comes up blank, hit refresh :\ .

Yes. I did use Brave for quite some time until I noticed Firebox becoming more stable. Also, I noticed a better experience with Firefox in Gnome than with Brave.
>I don't know where else to go.

A free market (scary!) would lower the barrier to entry for proper vets to compete.

But because of rent, labor, and regulatory overhead, you are left to deal with an entrenched and disinterested incumbent.
The amount of time you spend in sunlight matters. Kids went from running around outdoors all day (whether for work or play) to spending all day sitting in classrooms.

That's all you have? They are baseless then.
Yes, I was trying to give a contemporary definition. But I do find it interesting that it is a notion in our field. I agree with you and your disappointment. Thank you for the comment.
Where does it say it's an acquistion?

Acqui-hires generally discard the acquired organization's product; where does it say Thunderbird is doing that? It looks like they are embracing it.
That actually happened 100s of years after the political fall of the empire and it also happened to a large extent in the East where the empire persisted.

So the political fall of the West as the primary factor in de-urbanization is not really a good argument.
Yes, history repeats itself. Perhaps human nature will never change, but we have the technology to meaningfully change our political systems, education, media, supply chains and social fabric and those together should be powerful enough to adjust our aggregate behavior. It is perhaps the greatest tragedy of modern China that it has come upon the most realistic such opportunity ever presented to mankind and so far squandered it on imitation and autocracy.

It costs employers money and complexity to open up remote hiring of employees in a new jurisdiction. If Sweden isn’t a very big market or Sweden is a difficult market from a legal perspective, even remote companies may not be able to hire there.

As an example, I’d have to look, but I think it’s only quite recently that I’ve been able to hire in Sweden, 2 years after being remote. I know I couldn’t last year, but we contracted with some company to make some of the smaller markets feasible for us.
World After Capital by Albert Wenger (USV) reaches a similar conclusion:

>Anyway, what is an emergent phenomenon?

To me, emergent phenomena is nothing other than the complexity resulting from observing a group of smaller phenomena interact from a higher-scope. And from what I can tell, building blocks of emergent phenomena do explain everything regarding the emergent phenomena, but only when a sufficient amount of the building blocks are accounted for.
This is an old and tired take -

The more interesting thought (and equally as unoriginal) is 'The Internet' has effectively commoditized human attention. The commoditization happens because most knowledge easily accessible. This changes your attentive value from raw ability to gather information, the old regime, to the ability to create and synthesize across domains.

I'm interested to see if this means we see fewer 'great entrepreneurs' and more bootstrapped businesses in the $10-500m revenue range built by people who can learn to be a solo-developer/mercenary leader with ruthless business sense.

> Ehh. I think it sometimes sucks for those for which the past lack of equity benefitted them.

Absence of multiculturalism is not inherently a "lack of equity", and dismissing any criticism with "you just liked it because you got to oppress people" is, well, dismissive. This excuse might work if you are only familiar with the US perspective, but living in a largely "monocultural" country myself, I can attest that it is not benefiting from "lack of equity" that makes it wonderful to live in. How could it, when, even assuming there is a substantial lack of equity, minorities are so statistically negligible that their oppression cannot significantly benefit the majority.

> No one asked for or choose those changes. There wasn’t a town hall meeting where Mark Zuckerburg asked people if they wanted to know what their 3rd grade friends now think of Donald Trump; no one took a vote and decided "yeah, that’d be neat!". These changes were thrust upon society by new technologies and economic forces without anyone’s consent or forethought.

They weren't thrust on us, and we did choose those changes. The information and the implications of that information were available to everyone from the beginning. I quit Facebook and Twitter in 2007ish because it was obvious where social media was going, and I'm not particularly smart, prescient, or well-informed. Nor was I alone in coming to that conclusion: many people were saying and writing this from the beginning. People didn't listen, because they liked it at the time. Even now, when so much has happened, billions of people still continue to choose to use social media, claiming they don't have a choice in the matter. I'm not saying they're bad for making a different choice than me, but it is obviously a choice.
That's the definition of technical debt. You "borrow" from your tech budget because of other restrictions, then you pay your debt.

If you make a bad choice with no valid reason then it's just a bad choice, not technical debt.
Personally I think capital gains tax should be removed above a $1m income threshold and instead it falls under income tax rules.

Seems pretty fair and obvious to me. Imagine any of the senate leadership actually proposing that though, lol
Same here with `exa` and `bat`
Battery price (due to production cost and supply shortage) is the reason why BEV is expensive. Since battery is expensive, vehicle manufacturers should make car luxury to fill the price gap. Chinese tiny cars have very small battery. It's fine if market accepts such small cars.
This seems to be like "they're removing greek/frat/sororities, so they're coming for co-ops".

That said, you know, you're going to a rich private university with other rich kids, what do you expect the administration to do?
As opposed to what, science? That thing relying on the axiom that perception somehow lets us predict reality? No, science is nothing more than the arbitrary notion that a pattern perceived right 'now' will continue into the 'future', one after the other. This is not necessarily true, and hardly something to derive absolute truths from.

History of rampant sexual harassment and hazing.

> The university initiated the joint inquiry after learning of concerns regarding several band events, including off-campus trips, that the band held for its members between 2012 and 2015. The investigation found that, on several occasions, the band violated university policies regarding alcohol, controlled substances, hazing and/or sexual harassment. Violations included a tradition in which a band member was given an alcoholic concoction intended to make that individual vomit publicly; an annual trip in which some band members used illegal substances; and a band selection process in which individuals were asked a number of inappropriate questions on sexual matters.
Thanks I missed that!

More like, the national parks in California that are owned by the federal government aren’t free to be developed on. Again the Alaskans don’t want to develop their own land. They want to develop on the land that is jointly owned and that the rest of society wants to have remain undeveloped.

When you don’t have sole ownership of a piece of property you don’t have sole say in its use. I am sorry that’s Alaskans feel upset that they don’t have the right to use our property as they see fit
Comparing valuations across the years never really works. Of course they were worth more. The East India basically owned the Indian subcontinent, which today or then was incalculable wealth.
That's a great manager IMO. as is the discussion around if this should be an off-by-one or bad pointer error
Multiculturalism does work. The way it works is, people with different cultures / wants / ideas form their own communities and mind their own business. And when someone feels part of one community and part of another, they band together with others in the middle and create a third community.

Multiculturalism often fails because people on all sides get offended too easily. Maybe it’s my personality but I really can’t see why some people just hate others with values which are “weird” or “immoral” (but not actually immoral as in they don’t hurt other people / animals / the environment).

Obviously there is tension when there aren’t enough resources, but people get offended even when there are enough resources.

Few reasons I don't take a bus:

It will take a long time to get there (bus stops, changing lines).

The bus does not go where I want to be.
Adtech as WMDs is a quite good analogy. It bothers me when people just brush off concerns with "it's just the same as before" without considering the different scales.
This comment reads like a blanket statement but I feel like it has to be context specific. There are some cases where ignoring tech debt and grinding out code is the way to go. There are some cases where it’s not. Learning how to identify those is the hard part.
You can see it this way, or you can see it differently. Anyone who's doing matrix multiplication in Python uses numpy. Numpy is a standard library in Python, it's not a fancy thing that only a few specialized programmers use.

The creators of Umka chose their own benchmark to show people how good Umka is. It's the first thing you see when you open the github page. They could have chosen anything else, but they chose a matrix multiplication benchmark. Is matrix multiplication relevant for the Umka use case? I don't know, but if it is, the relevant comparison point is Python+Numpy, not Python alone. In which case rather than Umka being twice as fast, Umka is about 10000 slower.
Is this just you defining “average person” as someone chosen randomly?
This highlights something I feel like most older people on Hackernews, and generally don't know about modern student life!

the amount of university involvement in what's going on in everyone's personal lives has increased substantially from when you were in school, much to the adulation of a portion of the student population.
Unis now focus on "student welfare", which really just means expanding the universities reach into what everyone is up to. The most obvious of this is campus police depts.

Where I went to school the admin was straight up bolshevikan in mass, complexity, and sense of self importance.

Generally speaking any self governing student org, particularly greek life, was treated as a liability to be carefully balanced against the amount of donations they bring in.

EDIT: One more thing, 99.9% of these dumbass rules are made due to actuaries in insurance companies or lawyers trying to minimize university liability.
