> Employees can get another job, investors can diversify and manage their portfolio better...

Employees can get another job after the fact. Their skills and experience are mostly transferable. I'm not saying it isn't disruptive, but they haven't lost any principal or equity, just the opportunity to sell more labor to that particular employer in the future.

For the shareholders at the time to business goes bankrupt it's too late to try to diversify. Their shares are worthless and they are out whatever they paid for them. (BTW, telling them to diversify ahead of time is equivalent to telling them not to invest as much into this company... which isn't great for the company or its employees.)

> ... no portion on the profits are shared with employees.

The employees' fair share of the profits is their salary or wages (plus performance bonuses where applicable). If they want equity they can buy it with their earnings, but in general it's a bad idea to hold too much equity in your employer. The trade-off for sharing in "record profits" is sharing in the losses when the company doesn't do as well.
I want to second the gamers nexus recommendation here.

You're exactly right — surprise porn and surprise expletives at Apple scale would probably trigger a congressional hearing. Not only does Messages not censor what you type, but one can easily leverage autocorrect to help you type the naughtiest of words.

I’m going to dissent here on this thread because I’m not seeing any references. I personally feel the quality of Wirecutter has gone down since NY Times just a bit. However, after almost a decade of reading Wirecutter they have overwhelming provided a decent “why you should trust us” section for staple consumer items. There is a good example from just today. [1] You can always say they should do more, but honestly they do more research that many others in the space.

Since most people are relying on Reddit for product research, this list of the most discussed air purifiers on r/AirPurifiers might be a good start too: https://looria.com/reddit/AirPurifiers/products

What enthusiasts and authentic users say is far more valuable than an article that was made for views by some corporates.
Redditors and other forum members are more interested in boosting their ego by showing their depth of knowledge on the topic (and correcting others on the topic), whereas corporate websites are more interested in raking profit by displaying (potentially) dishonest information.
Sure totally, it just makes it harder for me to verify _their_ numbers though.

Someone else replied to me and said it is the levoit core 300. Their fan does seem weirdly inefficient, but comparing the high mode of the levoit model to the ikea isn't really the right comparison imo.

In that case, yes.

But I saw a quote from a dentist who wanted to charge some woman $260 per filling for 4 fillings.

Who pays $260 per filling? That is a crazy price. $1,040 for an hours work? You have to put your foot down.
I guess I am skeptical that LVT would do anything for most of non-dense urban America.

I would be happy to swap out my property, school, state, and income taxes for one where I paid what it would cost to lease the land I currently own. It would reduce my tax burden by 99%

I know because my neighbor leases a large parcel (several times my lot size) from the federal government. I would be delighted to swap my current property, school, state and income taxes for what he pays for what he leases.

I fear that if people like me don't pay these taxes, things like public schools and municipal services will simply fail where I live.

It seems great to cash in on high demand until you look at the flip side and consider what happens when there is no demand. From my perspective LVT just looks like an expensive urban cash grab that utterly breaks down when demand softens.
At the schools my kids were in, they deployed commercial-looking freestanding units. I don't know if that was intended to be a temporary measure until they got central units installed.

I haven't seen any data, agree it would be nice to know.
> Over the next few years, Mapbox tried to find success in a variety of industries: journalism, social media, travel, ect. We never hit numbers that were big enough for our investors. In the process, we abandoned our focus on Open Source and Open data. Then, as is the case with many mapping companies, Mapbox shifted focus to the auto industry. My fear of loss of control fully materialized at this point. I’m a lifelong bicycle commuter, and I think cars are unequivocally bad.

I wish people better understood what taking VC money means: trading control for money. While employees might _feel_ the company is still theirs, that’s only true to the extent that they hold majority control of the board of directors.

It’s certainly possible to take VC money and keep your original vision intact. But only if your original vision works well enough to keep your shareholders happy. Failing that, the board will push management to compromise with the ideals as much as needed to get a return on investment.
Remote is in the title of the post and mentioned multiple times throughout the post.

I dare say we're not posting frequently enough, that's a good point.

It's against company policy to put the range in the ad. Very very stupid, but probably nothing I can do about that.

We have three languages mentioned in the ad. But any senior candidate can be introduced to new technologies so they're not in the "requirements" section.

We could probably improve turnaround time, but the lack of applicants alongside natural attrition is making that even harder to make happen.

Thank you jhot!

Honestly I've had plenty of influence at the various workplaces I've been a part of. If a company is so dysfunctional it doesn't even take what employees are saying into account then I'm not convinced a union would help. Do you have concrete examples of unions succeeding in software?

> That's overselling putting some satellites in orbit.

GP is talking about the future. The future is what people are working towards and planning for at SpaceX. This of course goes right over most people's heads as most people are consumed by their immediate life (and rightly so).

But you're actually understating even the current state of things:

- First of all, "just" putting satellites in orbit has revolutionized human civilization time and time again. Global navigation, accurate time keeping, weather prediction, communication, physics research, disaster response, and that's just from top of my head. Cost of launching satellites often exceed the satellite development and build itself. SpaceX has improved on that immensely and continues to do so.

- SpaceX puts people into orbit and brings them back down safely. It's the only non-government organisation in the world to do so, and to do so for significantly lower cost.

Starlink is already helping 40000+ people in Ukraine to be informed in middle of a war! Starlink is also going to be installed on airliners which will allow far better monitoring and metric collection should the airlines want to use it for. This will greatly improve crash investigations in absence of the black box.
Not to defend the practice (because your case is a false positive for a new account), but rather to speculate on why your account was banned, it's likely due to an increase in impersonation on Instagram recently.

In other words, some accounts steal the pictures of real people and then send follow requests to friends, and try to get them to tap on links that can give the bad actor access to the friends' accounts or buy cryptocurrencies. It's been spiking recently over the past couple of months (one case in a Canadian news article at: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/instagram-photos-sto...), with other prominent cases documented in the past (2019: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/24/how-i-stopped-someone-impers... and 2021: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/14/instagram-accounts-created-w...). Bleeping Computer published a deeper article on the most recent ongoing spike (describing the crypto and Onlyfans scams): https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/instagrams-da...

This doesn't justify at all the permanent deactivation of your completely new account, but just for curiosity's sake, I speculate that this is the reason your new account was banned (overly high security sensitivity on Instagram's end, due to a recent spike in false accounts that impersonate real people, to encourage others to buy cryptocurrency and/or click malicious links).
Technologies like WASI are coming on right now to do exactly this kind of access in the context of a sandbox. From what I can tell, they're going through a lot of the same progression of JVM and .NET IL back in the 90's and early 2k's but for whatever reason seem to be more openly embraced in all the places where WASM is gaining a foothold.

I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that this one sticks .. oh and, please make WASM run in a browser without JS :)

Ikea interested me when they worked with teenage engineering for some silly bits. But that was quickly reduced into a markup game from resellers so it lost my interest.

Which is entirely why they make it as hard to switch as possible, creating an additional barrier over just the user's satisfaction with the ecosystem.

I literally meant slightly underpaying. I'm sorry, if I realized people weren't going to use the words I said with their own meaning, I would have said it differently.

I'm not marketing a job to you, I'm just saying that it doesn't pay as high as the highest offers I get for roles which I wouldn't take to replace it.

Edit: Let's just make this literal, it's 200k without considering stock, benefits, etc. I consider that slightly underpaid, but the idea you can't raise a family on it is mind boggling.

I went to the Instagram sign-up page and filled out some info and submitted it and then decided not to submit whatever it was they were asking for next.

Since then when I click on a link to an Instagram post shared on FB they blocked me and demand I set up an account. But if I use a different web browser I can view those posts.

I rarely do that though. I just cannot give them the hit.

Yeah. I'd assumed that 'true-HEPA' was a made-up term intended to trick people into thinking something is HEPA when it's actually worse. But that doesn't seem to be the case.
> Without an understanding of what consciousness is, there is also no reason to expect an implementation of an adder to not have some subjective experience.

I don't think we need to understand what consciousness is, but rather define what it is that we want to talk about. The english word "consciousness" is a sloppy catch-all for a bunch of experiential phenomena including things like self-awareness (only marginally more specific!), qualia, etc.

However, even without a rigorous definition (make up 10 new words if current ones don't cover it), it seems the core of what most people mean when they say "consciousness" has an introspective aspect to it - what something "feels like", which requires some perceptive/analytic machinery to be put to use. You can feel anything without using a "feeler".

So, with that said, it seems pretty clear than things like thermostats and adder circuits are not conscious in the slightest since they neither have the feedback paths nor feedback-directed perceptual and analytical machinery that would be required. OTOH it's perhaps not so absurd to consider that something with an architecture like GPT-3 might be a "tiny bit conscious" since it DOES have some of those necessary architectural/functional abilities.

Of course many people will ridicule any such suggestion due to their own emotional investment. If people don't feel comfortable with the idea of a machine being conscious under any circumstance, then they are necessarily going to refute it in the case of today's simplistic "AI" architectures.
True, but there is an unfortunate amount of bugs in that area. We (I'm an Emscripten dev) would like to look more into improving Rust's Emscripten support, but there have just been higher priority items for us (and I guess others) so far.
Sadly, for a side hustle, an Insta account is seemingly in my future. For someone like me that has never had an Insta account nor have I logged into my FB account for over 8 years, how does one create an account without this happening?

Also, these kinds of stories fit well within the narrative of Meta === EvilCorp#1, but I always feel like there's a lot more going on than what is being told in these Ask HN/Tweets/etc. Like, how many accounts were attempted to be made in what time period coming from the same device/IP address/etc? Are the algos at Meta/FB/Insta so bad that legit users are honestly getting flagged like this?
Maybe a principled defense can be made for the quiet part - who knows. but it annoys me that it is implicit and not stated because I never understand what people are criticizing FB for.

Exactly, if they're true it's a conspiracy fact or just a conspiracy.

And even if they do NOT take kickbacks, there's no financial incentive at all to "link" to a sales page that doesn't offer affiliate links, where there is one to link. And so the best way to handle this is to not review at all products that aren't available through said sites.

SBF is probably not as minimalist, but he has a similar belief system. I wish more of crypto would adopt that and drop the lambo culture.
Then why does it have a count down timer? It could just say which part of the cycle it’s on instead. If I see a timer counting down, I expect it to be accurate. I don’t expect it to go from “5 minutes” up to “7 minutes” or to stay at “5 minutes” for 3 minutes. That doesn’t make any sense at all. It ceases providing the single function it was designed for.
You might be correct about NFSv2. However, there was significant exchange between NFSv4 and SMB versions 2 and 3. Neither is perfect, but they have practical uses.

As far as packet loss is concerned, TCP is more robust, and is the default on Linux starting with NFSv3.

When using NFSv4, rpc.portmap is not necessary, so it cannot "go out of lockstep with the kernel" because it is not running.

As far as "foolish misconfiguration," solving a problem between the keyboard and the chair is not in the current features. Maybe the next release.

p.s. NFS over UDP can cause silent corruption over gigabit ethernet - see "man 5 nfs" for details (search for "Using NFS over UDP on high-speed links"). This is one reason why TCP is the default.
Many GUI diff tools will do this neatly regardless of whitespace, FWIW, so this hasn't been a motivator for me for code or text.

Think few people realize how bad the Apple situation is. If your company just ships like an iOS app and an Android app maybe you don't really notice or maybe don't care.

But work at a company where you try to build something like new hardware devices or systems without having to resort to building either an iOS app or handing over 30% to Apple and the situation becomes very worrying to dire. Simple things suddenly become impossible or have workarounds piled on top to get their browser to function in the ways their desktop one does or Android's browser does.

You can feel some of their engineering choices are actively hostile against anyone trying to exist outside the App Store ecosystem. Sure I know some advocates push this as a good thing but I think they'll disagree when the endgame plays out.

Because in 10 years, what currently exists as the only option on iPad and iPhone will be the only option on MacBooks too. There is a reason why the last WWDC was all about making the iPad feel more like MacOS and making parts of MacOS feel like iPadOS.

I used to be a huge Apple advocate but I'm really worried with where they're heading as I'm trying to create new technology and Apple causes so much pain when you try to make anything other than an iOS app.

I do love my M1 MBP, have a lot less love for my iPhone these days but I'm worried where the tide is moving. It's all absolutely fine, until it isn't and then the problem is it's completely locked down from the touch screen to the silicon...

The question is not is it a custom word or when it entered into the English language.

The question is "as a parent, would you buy an {x} phone for a young family member that suggests profanity?"

As an adult, you can go in and add the words that you want to use yourself... however, do you want profanity to be a default suggested word for children in your household?

Realizing that the demographics of HN tends to the more technically literate, removing the all the words you don't want your children accidentally sending to their teachers wouldn't be a big issue, however as most of the population isn't as technically literate the "it just works" mentality for digital appliances would mean that most of the population that has a child who may use the phone would likely opt to one that is more proper and correct in its limited word choice.
