How does LineageOS compare to CalyxOS? I swore to myself to never run Google Android, or mostly Google in general, if I can avoid it. Which means Pixel phones that support CalyxOS or Graphene. Nothing wrong with Oixel hardware, but having some additional phone options would be great!

Users should probably buy devices from better venders. I certainly don’t worry about any negatives from an iOS update
When an APT like China is concerned (or, eg the CIA), you'd be foolish to wantonly apply Hanlon's razor. I'm not saying it never applies, but some of the lengths nations go to in order to gain an advantage over their adversaries is astounding. Think NSO iPhone hack†. It's been documented that the CCP requires a party member be allowed to see into the company's private business dealings, or else face the same fate as Jack Ma‡. The Chinese version of TikTok, Douyin, is heavily scrutinized, eg (from down-thread) https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-53840167.

The greater crime is perhaps sending people who have a reputation for being maniacs into another country, so that they can be maniacs there?
I suppose that's an advantage of having such an old phone, you can take risks without expensive consequences. In saying that, once you've done it once the risk is low with the right precautions (outlined in the online guides).

Workers rights are a disincentive to SV funding, as well as expansion by existing companies (at least until the company is already huge).

Cost of starting up and taxation (as you have a lot of risks, why increase them by increasing costs so early).

I don't agree with these (if everyone had rights like France it would be a non-issue) but that's what I've seen in discussions about opening offices in France, hiring in France, setting up in France.

Edit: Sigh, downvotes... but perhaps people don't realise that things like unions are essentially mandatory in France when the employer has more than 50 employees: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Works_council#France or that the standard corp tax is one of the highest in Europe https://taxfoundation.org/corporate-tax-rates-europe-2022/ . It's not that high tax rates alone will be a disincentive - it isn't, Germany is higher - but combine high tax rates with a lot of employee rights and now try to imagine the modern SV startup that leverages gaps in legislation thriving in this... it doesn't.
This might be my little Irish brain firing off, but why is the picture in the article of Ireland and Britain? To the ignorant it would appear from the picture that Ireland is part of the UK. I can only assume that whoever picked the image didn’t realize that Ireland is not in the UK which is strange for a website called Uktech news.

Only matters to 15% of the desktop world, it won't run the software used in remaining 85% of the desktop world, nor the game development SDKs used for 100% of game consoles.
This is it. Pack it up everyone. It's simple yet the signals are hard to fake. It's basically about taste and that only comes with experience.
I don't think there is really a correctable inefficiency here for a number of reasons.

In regards to the very first 1-2 employees, from what I have seen is that they are either a) fairly inexperienced (and therefore willing to take lower compensation), b) very excited about the technology and willing to work for less compensation, or c) very experienced and compensated well and/or given a ton of shares to the point where they may even be considered a founder.

So if you are employee #1 and you are very experienced and can negotiate for a nice chunk of shares, you almost always will get pulled into the founding team. It is not uncommon for startups to have minority founders that have 5-10% of the shares.

And that means when you hear about an early employee complaining about their compensation, they are most likely going to be from category a or b. You aren't going to be hearing from category c, because they were treated well and might even consider themselves founders.

That's the problem though, those f-droid alternatives are nowhere near Google apps' functionality. Believe me, I've tried, and I've always gone back to GApps.
I'll preface this by saying I don't know any details about PG&E. But public ownership doesn't just 'move the ball around', it also allows the enterprise to make decisions not purely based on the pursuit of profit. For instance, charge the service closer or at cost.
Not what I expected.

But why?
If you're getting paid great compensation, why do you need status perks as well?

Sales people do perform an important business function and it can involve a lot of skill, from knowing the product inside out to knowing the customer and competitors. But salespeople sometimes close deals by making technical promises on which they won't have to deliver, and often communicate poorly with other people inside their own company.
Agreed.

However, interesting conversations are missed because of noise (e.g. down-votes) - I'm less likely to interact with a down-voted post, they usually are not as informative or interesting.

Proposed solution - abolish negative points entirely, points should be per-thread, not per user. If a user is causing frequent problems (frequently downvoted), per admin review then issue ban/rate limits, etc.

I view the positive/negative points mostly as a sentiment rating - if I receive downvotes I can tell my point is unpopular/uncontroversial, if not I know someone found it interesting. That does affect how I post in two ways:

I make more effort to expose common context for posts which are down-voted, people who are lazy and don't care won't read the expanded post, people who are more open-minded (the ones I want to attract and start conversations with) are more likely to come around to my viewpoint, or at least offer more interesting conversation (disagreement is necessary to have a discussion).

So I find both positive and negative votes to be useful, even on my own posts. Even the manner in which I've been down-voted recently tells me something, and it tells me valuable data about who has which opinions.
The issue with CAF is not forfeiture of assets without evidence of a crime; with CAF there is evidence of a crime, but not necessarily evidence that the forfeited asset is related to the crime, with little or difficult legal recourse to recover the assets.

Sometimes the case is never brought to trial [1]; in other cases the owner of the assets is never even charged with a crime [2]. When the forfeiture creates a financial burden [3] or the asset has the potential for depreciation [3], the accused may have even a financial incentive to settle rather than go to trial.

Google SRE and Developers Collaborate
The fact that google so blatantly creates a better version of android that’s reserved for pixel kinda shows how bad the android ecosystem is.

It used to be that people really wanted stock android, now because google spends so many resources (i.e. UI/UX devs) on The Pixel Experience(tm) stock android has slowly become less user friendly and requires significant changes from the OEM partners to get it to a usable state. And of course those changes are not OSS and don’t contribute back to the original code. Plus it further fractures the whole ecosystem.

My impression is that the UK government is in dire need of good news, so I felt sceptical reading this.

I'd expect Ireland to rank higher because all the large US companies have their EU offices there. At least on paper for tax purposes.

Also, a lot of banks moved from the UK to Germany as a result of Brexit. My guess is those weren't counted as tech.

In general, it appears to me that this report is crucially dependent on a very narrow and unexpected definition of what qualifies as a tech company. Looking at market cap rankings, they probably had to include Shell and BP to compensate for the likes of Bayer, Biontech, BMW in Germany. But is big petrol still tech?

Also: "The total market capitalization of German companies listed on the Frankfurt Stock exchange reached 1.67 trillion euros at the end of June 2022." so they had to exclude some companies.. And that's just one stock exchange.
Looks good.

The sad feeling for a moment is enough for a click on a newspaper article though, and that's all they need to provide emotional bait for the surrounding adverts.

News outlets aren't in the business of informing. They are in the business of selling impressions. If you're not paying for those impressions, then the impression is being sold to somebody else and your sadness is the product.

Get people emotional - provide product/service in surrounding adverts to relieve emotion. Rinse and repeat.
Some thoughts:

1. It is certainly the pandemic effect. But there is more.
2. The cost of vet education is too high and pay is garbage unless you have equity in practice. Which isn’t cheap.
3. American recipe for disaster seems to now include education for essential sectors being de-prioritized.
4. There are no vocational schools and vet care can certainly be a vocational degree and no need to be something that bears the burden of 300k student loans.
5. Typically vets were educated for the rural sector. In urban areas, the care is entirely diff: mostly domesticated pets and exotic pets. There is of course, wild life care. They are all entirely..pardon the pun..different animals.
6. There is no regulation over animal breeding, puppy mills and dog fighting etc. Most states are particular about collecting fees for pet licenses and mandatory vaccines. Most state run pounds are for lost/found, capture/euthanizing unwanted abandoned pets, and sometimes under the sanitation dept(cleaning up roadkill). When pet ownership is such a huge revenue maker(Petfood,etc), why arent the states doing the needful?
How many grams of hemp seeds would you have to ingest to receive the same amount of amino acids in weight compared to a beef steak?

And how much phytate does hemp seed contain? 4g/100g. Good luck with mineral absorption.

Interestingly, I’ve seen a map of the UK where Southern Ireland had been completely deleted making the actual geography look different to reality.

My thought at the time was that would be more confusing for my kids as they learn about countries, especially as my mum is Irish.

I agree with everything you say, it needs a better visualisation.
The article could also have been called

> UK financial industry is huge

Which I guess would not have surprised or interested as much people.

Now before the financial crisis, we were already told that the financial sector was oversized because it was doing so much sophisticated innovation.

When the shit hitted the fan everybody realized that all this crazy innovation extracted much more value than it contributed to the world.

My question is: have we evidence that this has fundamentally changed because you label some financial companies as "Tech"?
I remember reading Canticle and thinking, "this feels just like Fallout" at various parts.

One question, is City of Lost Children the French movie by Jeunet or something else?

Well the examples I have seen here in France did not work out so well. There were large arrivals of rich, well paid Parisians to cities like Nantes and Bordeaux, and it completely messed the local housing market, forcing many people who were living there to leave the city because they couldn't afford the rent anymore. Of course it creates a lot of resentment and tensions.

In general, shouldn't the importance of updates depend on what it originally shipped with?

If it isn't buggy and the shipped features match the marketing, why would it ever need to be updated?

So it seems like any argument like "Vendor never updates it" needs to be paired with an argument that they ship buggy or incomplete software.
I don’t understand why they don’t launch a new app with a content focus. Why destroy what’s there when you could do both?

Well, I certainly couldn't build a data centre.

But i worked for a small/medium company that built two. Complete with data replication across datacentres, fancy fire suppression, redundant communications between them etc. The works. Oh and redundant power supply on both sites, battery and generator.

Admittedly this was before the cloud took off, or around the cusp of it. But we then did a calculation to compare the costs. I wasn't involved, but the result was that even factoring in the cost of the hardware, data centers and extra staff (if any; configuring AWS seems a profession in it's own right) it was still cheaper over 3-5 years to DIY.

We used a lot of computer, but so does Zoom I'd imagine.
I is really well-suited for a broad range of scenarios where your needs are somewhere between a fully static page and a really complex web app.
Although you theoretically can also do the latter, it will get painful very soon, and in that case, my advice would be to combine it with Alpine.js [0]. It can bring some client-side interactivity to your UI and pairs really well with htmx. Recently, someone described their experience using these two here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29319034

You're going to get judder; I don't understand what you mean by 50 FPS (max 25Hz), but if you've got 50 frames per second of data and 60 frames of display, about ten frames per second are going to be shown twice and the other fourty only once, that's not going to look nice. If it's 25 frames per second of data, fifteen frames would be be shown twice, and ten shown three times; this is reminiscent of telecine judder where 24 frames per second film material is shown on 60 fps screens using a 2:3 pulldown: half of the frames are shown twice (or as two fields if interlaced) and the other half are shown three times (or as three fields), but it's not as consistently one then the other with 25 fps source material.
I've been lucky with the battery life for some reason. Still usually lasts through the day for me, even after 3 years.

We are also having the same issue, even in Europe the round trips add up. Our sales team uses retool as their crm system and for them the slowness is quite painful. We will be self hosting soon, but it is some work so this is unfortunate.

Another topic of interest is managing queries. What happens if a database column is renamed for example? Now we manage it though stored queries in our db - this creates some dependencies and there is always a risk that old queries are no longer used or some query has not been updated. A single place to manage and overview all queries would go a long way (maybe this exists, I have only had a small part in the implementation).
Regardless of the original intent (or lack thereof) behind them, HTML5 tags are more or less syntactic sugar for ARIA roles.

Which means, if you care about accessibility and want to pick the best element for the circumstances, you must know that you are deciding not on a tag but on element’s role.

Which means, the moment you find yourself asking “should I use <section> or <article>?”, or “should I use <nav> or <toolbar>?”, etc., you… might as well throw a <div> there for right now, and as soon as you’re done with the task head to ARIA docs. It’s a warning sign that you are lacking clarity as to the content hierarchy you’re dealing with.

Consult the source of truth (ARIA docs) instead of picking a role by proxy by reading HTML tag docs; give your div a well-informed choice of a role, and leave it to your linter to complain if it could be made briefer by changing it to a different tag that has the same role implicitly.
Neat idea. One suggestion:

Study what the creators of the Mini crosswords on the New York Times website do with their clues. Your clues seem to be all straight dictionary definitions, which will get boring after a while. The Minis balance straight definitions with puns, cryptic clues, fill-in-the-blanks, etc.

For example, today’s Mini has the following clues and answers:

Palidromic AP subject: STATS

Palindromic carpentry tool: LEVEL

Pleasant smell: AROMA

Experiences on acid: TRIPS

You are here: EARTH

Rock used as a roofing material: SLATE

______ firma: TERRA

French "to have": AVOIR

Entice: TEMPT

One of two in 7/29/22: SLASH

I’m sure it takes time and creativity to come up with such clues. But the clues are one of the things that keep me, at least, returning to the puzzle each day.

The other is the level of difficulty. I am able to complete maybe 70 percent of the Minis in under a minute, 20 percent in over a minute, and 10 percent not at all. That yields a good balance between satisfaction and frustration.

Good luck!
And data security? Can you answer that part of the question?

Most of my ML training is done using personal data or sensitive documents, and I have not found a cheap provider yet that I can use.
If the target knows that the adversary is going to keep torturing them until they die, then what incentive do they have to divulge anything?

As soon as the torturer tells you that they don't know how many secrets you have, you can just say "Whelp, guess I'll just die then" and spend the rest of your hopefully-short life wondering why they don't understand that the only motivation you had to speak was the possibility that the torture would stop.

In reality, though, most regimes that would be willing to torture you would do it even if they knew you didn't have any secrets, just to make an example of you to deter your allies, or they wouldn't need the information you had because they could just tell a judge to convict you on falsified evidence, or tell the public that you shot yourself in the back of the head 8 times.

For the few use cases where there is some vital secret that you don't want the government to know, and they are willing to use torture to find it out, you make sure that the secret is encrypted with a key that is split between multiple (mutually unknown) people across multiple jurisdictions, so that there is no harm in divulging your portion of the key the moment you are caught.
You either get duplicate frames and the video stutters a bit or you interpolate and get either blurs or distortions. You're right that capturing 50 FPS video at 60 FPS is sorta OK in terms of data loss; you'll capture all the frame, and you can get a pretty good idea of which frames are duplicates, but that's different from high-quality playback.
In France "engineers" are considered the top of the pile, they have a higher status than in the UK, not least because they traditionally stem from "Grandes Ecoles".

Edit: interesting that the person I'm replying to wrote "considered glorified blue collar", which I interpret as status, and that those who are replying to me focus on pay. In the UK a plumber (blue collar) or train driver can make more than a software engineer who is university educated and enjoys a higher status, for instance.

Salaries in tech/software are not that different in UK and France. Perhaps London salaries in hot startups are outliers.

I don't think there is a difference in the way devs/programmers are considered on either side of the channel. The key is not that but rather the company/industry. A tech company will consider them a key resource, an old industrial company maybe not...

thanks for the tip. I'll have it replaced cause other than battery life i have zero complaints with this phone. I was even worried originally because the front camera is a "moving part" but even that seems to have outlasted my expectations.
Agreed! Plenty of blame to go around.

When I was younger, I held a lot of anger at Bush, Cheney, and other ideologues whose belief in the righteousness of their cause allowed them to ignore the evidence (no WMDs, no terrorist links), logic (the strategic costs of invasion), or ethics (torture, civilian deaths).

Now, though, I find myself a little bit more sympathetic to them: in recent years, American politics have been warped by non-believers—non-believers in democracy, in law, in any cause other than their own power and enrichment. Bush, Cheney, even Rumsfeld, seem to me to be smugly mistaken believers in the justness of their cause, but that’s still a cause other than their own personal power.

Erik Prince, in my view—discounting the lurid (but potentially true!) allegations that he believed he was fighting a Christian crusade against non-believers—is a foreshadowing of the Trump era, a privileged and wealthy man wrapping himself in the flag to hide his cynical interest in nothing more than making even more money, in absolutely any way possible.

Hard to say what’s worse, of course, but there’s certainly variety.
Just to muddy waters!!
Before Xiaomi became mainstream they were quite supportive of the dev community. For example they sent a bunch of Poco phones to XDA developers before release.

I feel like Asus would do so much better if they opened up the ecosystem a bit.
