Thanks for the thorough reply, very helpful! I have looked into some of these, but not all of them and not for all cases. I really do need to look at constructing some of the queries by hand and comparing with the queries constructed by Django's ORM - I know that in many cases the ORM generates terribly inefficient queries.

Stored procedures is not something I've tried yet, but will look into it. Any more color or examples how this might work in an application?

Are far as RDBMS caching goes, you're referring to the ordinary query caching, related to things like shared buffers in PG, etc?

Just want to make sure I'm clear on all the suggestions you raised. Thank you!
I mean even Jobs turned around pretty quickly on the idea of PWA. I doubt even he championed it after iOS 2+.

I'm still not sure if the PWA push was the plan and they changed to the app store or if it was always something to tide people over. I believe the reporting has said they honestly thought PWAs would be good enough and then reversed course but it didn't take them long before they just went all-in on apps.

All that said I'm not really a "the web should be able to do everything apps can do"-guy, I think the constant permission requests would be incredibly tiring while browsing the web. Though maybe you, as a user, would need to first "promote" or "whitelist" a url before it could even ask. Idk, just sounds like hell.
Worst administration in History.
It's surely quite common for employment contracts to forbid taking a second job in the same business type.

In Wipro's case the employees were working for competitors not just doing the same kind of generic work; I'm pretty sure that most companies would object to that rather strongly.
How is this better than PGP?
I have started "hitting block all from [whoever created the meme/video]". It makes a difference, but only a small one. the other thing I do is after blocking 2 I close facebook. I hope more people do this - I want it to start showing up in statistics that shared memes and videos is harming engagement numbers, while friends and family sharing their life is helping. Thus encouraging whatever change they need to make to give me more of that.

I still have a number of distance friends/family who share their life of facebook so there is value to remain there. Facebook is a great way to see my daughter singing "baby shark" - if you don't personally know me you don't want to see that, but if you know me you want to see it.

The cap of $10,000 makes it not very interesting from an investment standpoint. And while the yield is great on paper, it merely lets you keep up with inflation in practice.

There are probably better ways to use $10,000 if that is all you have and you are interested in growing money - online courses come to mind.
I have an entire speaker setup that runs on the chromecast protocol(s?)

They've been repeatedly bricked (features rolled back, support changed, can't set up complete groups, etc) by Google in the last few years, to the point where I don't even think I have them connected right now.

I don't trust consumer products from Google at all.
Probably one of the most user-hostile websites I’ve ever used. They actually expect you to “click” a virtual keyboard to input your password! Truly astounding.
Does anything like Briar/Bridgefy exist for Linux? Something that relays messages/packets through a pure P2P meshnet using any connection available (ethernet, wifi, bluetooth), without any intermediate, special purpose routing hardware?
Of course, there is a flip side to this. The tech bros should stay in their lane. Just because they have a structural engineering degree doesn’t make them experts on housing policy. There are people who studied that. VCs and investors should stop trying to meddle with local politics. Bro, you can’t solve homelessness because you can train an AI. Also..AI art is NOT art. That’s making a mockery of the artists who spent years honing their craft.

There is an almost borderline selfishness amongst the tech elite..like that of a child who wants all the candy for themselves. As a society, if we don’t give dignity to all and value everyone..that society will slide and crumble.

It is not that tech bros are paid obscene amounts. It’s just that artists and service providers and even politicians(channeling Singapore model which we should all probably emulate) aren’t paid enough. There is no need for scarcity and hoarding(that comes from a scarcity mentality) here.

Maybe SV could also learn something with some in the tech sector learning to stay in their lane and allow others to shine in their strengths and abilities. Everyone wants their little pool of limelight. It’s light. There is enough for everyone.

More importantly to the publisher, the author sells themselves. Most books are basically flops and so having a built-in market is a huge advantage for the publisher.

Also saves them having to do much publicity, too.
You are not, every time I look at the OpenZiti site I get more confused, but I also can't really figure out why. The team behind OpenZiti is super helpful, and I wish I could provide them feedback like "This confused me" or "this isn't clear", but I can't really figure it out.

My TL;DR of OpenZiti is:

It is a meshed overlay with endpoint authentication and ACLs. Endpoints can be: application-embedded (think TLS) or system level (think PtP VPN) or routers to subnets (think routing VPN).

One thing that took me a long time to wrap my head around is: You can incrementally implement OpenZiti by: setting it up as a traditional VPN, then start putting individual server endpoints directly on OpenZiti, then put individual services directly on the fabric (application embedded).

OpenZiti team: Is this a fair TL;DR?
The amount of time it takes a group of people who decided to go somewhere to actually get in their cars and get moving goes up as the square of the number of people.
I'm not a "founder" in any real sense of the word but my feeling is that it depends on what market you're targeting. If your goal is to become a billion dollar unicorn, then yeah it's going to be tough to beat free because you're going to need a huge number of users. On the other hand if you're OK with building a small sustainable business to support yourself, family and maybe a small number of employees then I think it's possible to target niche markets of people who are willing to pay for a high quality, well designed product that does exactly what they need.

For now this is just my working hypothesis, I'm still far from being in a position to test it.

On the other hand, of very good friend of mine, a prestigious doctor in Monaco, was adament the vaccine caused no major heatlth problem.

This month, I had weird health problem that sent me to the hospital, and asked again if anything could be related to the vaccine. This time, he said it was a possibility because has has seen some similar cases in the past.

The problem here is not changing your mind using fact. That's how you should do it.

The problem here is stating at first he was sure it could not cause any grave problem (at least not worse than covid). Because this was not rooted in fact, we didn't have remotely enough data to know this.

But this is what a lot of the medical and political elite claimed during the pandemics, and questioning it would get us the rethoric you just used in your comment. This is what a lot of comments on HN, twitter and the whole internet agressively screamed, with disdain toward people that were raising pragmatic worries.

This is not a sane way of approaching science. This is arrogant, and creates distrusts in a world where we desperatly need humility and bonding together.

In fact, you know your position is not in the best light because you are using a throwaway account to state your position, in a thread that has been very cordial.
Requiring that someone cannot use Google branding on a phone with an ancient version of Android is legal.

Requiring that someone cannot use Google branding on any device they manufacture or sell, if they also manufacture or sell devices without Google branding that use ancient versions of Android, is entirely illegal in the EU.
Jobs convinced the board of directors that the company's CEO, Gil Amelio, had to step down, and when the board agreed, it appointed Jobs as interim CEO in his place. Apple began a remarkable period of restructuring at that time, which led directly to the successful organization it is today....
I definitely do agree with this. This is a very important issue that quite obviously can have many different viewpoints.
Lockfree algorithms are a misnomer. The lock is an atomic instruction.

I think you should get rid of that stuff. I was compiling some el scripts in the background and surfing around just fine and got to your page and it starting taking a couple of seconds to respond to mouse clicks until closing the page, same for both Brave and Firefox (most recent versions on both) on windows 10. I'd give benefit of a doubt since you're doing a new service but most people wouldn't come back if that happened to their machine.

It's quite frightening to imagine what this could do when weaponised against women, used for harassment and the creation of nonconsensual pornography based on people's likeness. I wonder if this is one of the first things we'll start seeing legislation relating to.

It's also concerning to imagine the social impact this could have on young boys as well, in a climate where pornography addiction issues become more visible each year.
This benchmark (too) is probably incorrect. It produces 409:s so there are errors in there that I doubt are caused by GCP.

Preemption would be an enormous mistake. Federal legislation moves at a glacial pace. In a field like privacy, you may only get to pass one substantial bill every 10 or 15 years. Technology moves too quickly for lawmakers at the Federal level to keep up. States can move much faster. Justice Brandeis popularized the phrase that "[the] states are the laboratories of democracy" and digital privacy law is a text book case of an emerging field that will benefit enormously from iterative experimentation at the state level.
1. Pour the Kool-Aid into a large pitcher. The pitcher needs to be big enough to hold at least a gallon of water. Pick the biggest one you have so there's plenty of room to stir your Kool-Aid mixture without splashing liquid everywhere.

2. Add the sugar. Use a measuring cup to measure out a cup and a half of sugar, then add it to the pitcher.

3. Add the water. Pour in an entire gallon of water (that's 16 cups) on top of the Kool-Aid mix and sugar.

4. Stir the ingredients well. Keep stirring for about three minutes, until the sugar completely dissolves. If you drink it too fast, the sugar will still be in its crystal form.

5. Taste test your Kool-Aid. See if it needs more sugar or water. Everyone likes their Kool-Aid to taste a little different.

6. Enjoy over ice. Kool-Aid is delicious poured over ice. Fill up a glass with ice and pour in the Kool-Aid. Store your leftover Kool-Aid in the refrigerator for later use.

It's not about making their stuff cheaper. They just want to take the royalty money they pay and put it in their pockets. They're not going to pass the savings onto the customers.

Nobody ever passes the savings on to customers.

The royalty is probably a couple of cents at the most per device. It makes more sense for them to just pocket the millions in savings and show extra profit to their shareholders. It would be dumb to give up millions to drop the price a few cents, which won't even be noticed by consumers anyways.
A company that is using 1000 seats of Slack can figure out how to self-host Mattermost.

The ACLU also does a lot of great privacy work, so donating to them is also a good idea if you care about this stuff. National ACLU does a lot of great work, but I personally suggest giving to your local affiliate https://www.aclu.org/about/affiliates, as they are often the ones who work on local issues that are likely to directly impact you. We do privacy lobbying at the municipal and state level and our local ACLU affiliate has been a huge, huge ally.

There are also other great privacy orgs that are not quite as big but are also fantastic in their own ways, like Restore the Fourth (which also has local chapters like shameless plug) rt4mn) Fight for the Future, Demand Progress, Cato, and Privacy International

Also, If you want to do more then just donate, you can help the EFF with its lobbying efforts by joining the Electronic Frontier Alliance https://www.eff.org/fight We participate, its pretty great.
Yeah, it sure is ugly!
Incompatible isn’t the right word for it. The banking app could run on the Huawei phone, but they’re relying on google to certify the device through the play store.

Unless the author is relatively well known, the book tour often barely pays for itself. In some cases the author gets to travel "on the company dime" and basically tour the country/world and have the expenses paid by some book sales.

The author may also get a much larger cut of any books sold during the tour, even without "signing fees" or similar.
Yes I definitely agree with that overall.

The main issue as I see it in the game dev space (can't speak to other parts of the gaming industry) is that faaaar too many people naively go into it because they like playing video games, got into programming because they were on the computer anyway, and then hop into the industry bright-eyed and bushy tailed. That's just a recipe for mistreatment. Whereas in web-dev, for example, no one is excited at the prospect of developing a new CRUD app for some megacorp, so we get paid handsomely for our skills.

Unions may be controversial in the broader software development sphere, but they're obviously desperately needed in game dev.

(P.S. Re: "margins are razor thin": A lot of this comes down to the gaming industry's version of Hollywood accounting. The big publishers like EA, Ubisoft, etc. are making a killing off of their mistreatment of their studios' staff)

So it’s open source? What happens as soon as Google abandons it and stops supporting in Android? YouTube? Do you think Apple will ever support it?
This is true, but the case for the acceptance of Android in the Market was that its was and open-platform and open-source. This is what gave it legs despite its early questionable software and hardware merits (the mantra being that you can fix it yourself!). The slow moving EU, a decade++ later is on target from this point of view. ....

We shouldn't encourage this type of reporting of academic results.

A better headline: "Evidence towards causal relations between mental health issues and Facebook use for some College students in 2004". If this doesn't look newsworthy, it's because it isn't. Single academic result is almost never newsworthy.

As an engineer, you should love FB. They had a large hand in breaking up the lowball salary cartel maintained by Google and Apple, and set a precedent in the industry for paying engineers well. As far as societal impact - it's debatable whether it's a net good or not.
I just remember when the EU passed that legislation that made it legal for member states to require Google to pay a fee to newspapers for linking to their content in Google News. Only a few countries bothered to try enforcing it, notably Spain did, and the result was Google called their bluff and de-listed every newspaper in Spain from Google News. It did not take long until Spain relented and permitted newspapers to waive the requirement with exemptions (i.e. allow status quo ante), which is exactly what happened for the bulk of them.

Google definitely wants to stay in this market, but I don't think the EU has as much leverage as they think.
I knew you will mentioned North Carolina :) Will definetelly try to visit it.

Regarding Chicago and Michigan: I have to say “nope”. California is way way nicer to visit. There nothing even remotely similar to Palm Springs. Or Monterey bay. Or Joshua Tree. And I did have a couple of ackward situations with people saying “go back to your country” as way to start some disagreement.
Completely, especially if it has the words "Digital", "Online" or "Data". I haven't read the bill or read about the bill but I'd wager a coffee there's also some form of entertainment/copyright industry hostility in there.

I'm really trying not to be cynical here, but I started so I might as well finish. Step #2 is if it does happen to pass, the parts of the bill that are actually consumer protections will be unenforceable, be ruled unconstitutional or have unintended negative consequences. The bad parts of the law will have no issues in the courts or with enforcement. They, too, will have unintended added negative consequences.
Thanks for the detailed description. Might still consider it, or at least look for a cheaper Chromebook just to play around with and get a feel first.

At any rate, Chromebooks sound more capable than I previously gave them credit for, enough so that they will now be part of my evaluation next time I upgrade.

Between the Framework Laptop now supporting Chrome OS and some of the info in this thread, Chromebooks and Chrome OS no longer seem like just the cheap Google Docs appliances for schools that I originally thought they were, which is pretty cool.

That's a useful realization. I have come to similar realization for myself in recent years. In case it is useful to others who might see this, I have found it useful to explore this dynamic in myself through the framework of avoidant attachment styles. There are some helpful resources and supportive communities available online for people wanting to find happier/healthier ways of navigating their attachment style. In particular there are a couple of avoidance focused subreddits that I've found supportive and they keep a list of links to other resources that many find helpful.
At one point TFA seems to indicate they lose 50% of their weight, dropping from 2lbs to 1lbs.
You can double that and more if you're married, and use the tax refund trick.

But the reality is that 10% on 10k isn't a terribly large amount of money at the end of the day.
I tried but my account got flagged for extra validation. This requires me to take a form to a bank or brokerage so that someone there can verify my identity and then stamp the form with some special stamp.

Well I do my banking with online banks so I have no access to a brick and mortar branch nor do I really have the time or inclination to try to talk to somewhere there and get what they're asking for.
Online courses? Do you mean "investing in yourself" per se? Any ideas for growing the money that involve actual investment instruments, if I hypothetically have $10k lying around?
So what is the intent of any company that gives away software or any startup that operates at loss funded by VC money?

Or if the same company gave its mobile operating system away for free to undercut a rival and then as soon as it became ubiquitous, started making much of it closed source and forcing companies to bundle its closed source software?
Sire. It is on tech workers to not exploit everyone else that does not understand the dangers.
