One thing to consider, is that even if you have 2FA keys and full access to an account and can do things with it, you may be illegally doing such after the account-holder's death.

For example, depending on how your bank account is setup, it may be legal for your wife to take money from it while you are alive but become illegal after death until probate is complete. The reality is nobody cares because 90% of the time the surviving spouse gets everything anyway, but it's there.

Check your local laws.
At least on an iPhone, biometric access won’t work if the phone has been powered off, such as due to the battery running out.
Well, no, because if I thought that was the case then it wouldn't be silly that they have a top engineering title. I'm saying that it is silly. I agree this is a bottom-of-the-list issue, but it does strike me as weird even for Elon.
> Should we persecute every author of fiction novels too for wasting peoples time with their disinformation?

People read fiction novels voluntarily, and the authors don't lie about their work being fact.

(Also: You mean "prosecute," I think.)

Why would anyone access my Discord account, or my kawaii and punk music playlists on Deezer.
This quality content goes with me into the grave.

OK content is unencrypted on my computer, anyway
Seemed interesting based on the amount of languages the editor supports on paper, but a quick trial showed that at least C# support is very, very barebones, even theoretical, as I couldn't get any kind of autocomplete to work, for example. After few minutes of usage Im unsure of what it provides aside from some syntax coloring. Maybe I did something wrong?
I don't know what to tell you, your questions are mostly answered in the 1977 lecture you seem to want to avoid reading.
More importantly, do you have instructions and descriptions of everything?

Sure, my wife could access my accounts, but she'll be lost - which are important? which can be ignored? What do you do once you have access?

Where are all the bank accounts, credit cards, loans, and how are they setup w/autopayments & withdrawls?

Ditto for insurance policies, your random toys and tech stuff. E.g. what should be done with your random websites/URLs - let them expire, archive them, ?

And my social accounts too...

It's not good enough to just go over it together one night, you need clear documentation that can be quickly referenced and followed during a time of immense stress and grief. And then keep those docs updated!
This is honestly dystopian and I can't believe that I am reading this. It's as Orwellian as it gets. Generally speaking, avoid implementing government policies and powers that you wouldn't let the worst of your enemies use, even if its with "good" intentions. The federal government stepping forward to fight disinformation might seem benevolent to some at the surface but it is a terrible idea in practice. History has shown that the state isn't always trustworthy and we should be more cynical and cautious when evaluating them. A war on disinformation will turn into a war on information in general.
Smaller companies have always had to compete on non-salary benefits like flexibility, and jobseekers who actually value those things above a higher salary will presumably be motivated to look into them, as they have always done as well. It's still helpful to know if your actual paycheck is going to be in range of your expectations or not before you waste your time applying to jobs.
Bus pass here costs $90/mo and I get to spend ~80 minutes per day reading books. My office is across the street from the library, it's pretty great :) It's no accident my house is next to a bus line, that was a major factor when we were buying.
How does this sort of thing interact with the business cycle and nominal wages being sticky?
Obviously that was a just formality to give them a title while they are in the building advising, it came from the company index system not their formal job description... another nothing burger.
Eh I'm not sure this argument holds up.

You can post a job ad targeting the top people and list the top of market salary band.

If you can't find such a candidate, you can delete the job ad and post the ad targeting the "average person".

You may even be able to post the two ads simultaneously.
I am wondering what will happen in the "future", will these two delorean companies sue each other for naming rights?
The Psychology of Strategy
Glad you’ve not started beating women (I imagine there are zero recommendations for that in his videos) and am glad that you got pumped to start things.

Sometimes all you need is a push or a kick in the butt to get in motion.

Please just keep in mind that many people “feel bad” for reasons beyond their control including trauma, depression and more - and need different kind of help.
"Everything still runs" could be applied in a lot of situations, but it's not necessarily a desirable state.

Everything still runs at McDonalds if there are half as many cashiers, but it will take a lot longer to get your Big Mac.

Everything still runs at the hospital if there are half as many nurses, but the level of care is much worse.

You get the idea.
I reject that framing. I reject the idea that there this clearly defined thing - disinformation - and the question is how to fight it.

The right framing is: How do we figure out the truth? By letting everyone argue about it, on platforms like twitter, or by entrusting that to a bunch of bureaucrats, who then share their findings and censor anyone who disagrees?
I miss everything being a 'new challenge'...

> To the former, I imagine this was brought up as an example.

So we're to argue with your imagination?

> Whether you think it's the strongest example seems immaterial unless you're saying there is no example at all in the history of the world?

I'm saying you're implying things without any proof. I think you should have proof before you consider depriving people of their rights.

> To the latter, that seems to be the exact purpose of courts and lawmaking, no?

Precisely. If you break the law, you are charged with a crime. If you were incited to do so, that person will be charged with a crime. So.. what reason is there to restrain free speech?

> Unless you believe no ones words are influential in any context?

I don't believe prior restraint will solve your problem, and other than these vague assertions, you've provided no concrete argument as to how they will.
> just for the privilege to be low-balled or even worse denied

I'm ok being denied. You set the bar and I don't meet it, fair enough... far worse is wasting my time when a simple discussion about salary at the start (at least after the first interview) could have saved us both time.
I still don't get it. Can anyone provide an example how this could work in practice? Is there something like this in Android already?
You know they don't pay a single number, but have a defined range for the role.

And if they find someone who is outside that range, they will bump them up to the next role with the bigger range.

When I worked at eBay the salary bands for each level were well defined and shared internally. If they needed to pay you more than the top of the range, they bumped you to the next level to do it.

It would be very easy for them to publish the ranges publicly.
Where I live people who want a helmet but not something on their head use an inflatable that triggers on falling. I presume they can be used with scooters.

A scarf style thing is hopefully not as gross to share as a helmet.

I think this is an insightful comment, but i'm not sure its merely the Chinese model at play. It's also the purpose of courts and lawmaking.

So that the harmony and stability of society can continue; and the truth of the matter can be adjudicated (defense or offense) in a thorough and thoughtful manner.

The last good, independent physician I had was a fellow who played Chess on the weekends downtown. His practice moved about 5 times while I was a patient and he finally was snapped up by the VA.

He habitually called me "friend" and was very frank about my insurance not paying for stuff I was asking about, which I appreciated. He also once profusely apologized to me for placing a computer in between us. He said the new requirements of his practice made it so he had to pay more attention to the computer than to me, and we were both sad about that.

The doctors I got after that make no such apologies.
> Employees often depend on prior employers as references

Not really. I have not once been asked for references from previous companies.
Matt Levine has a good explanation (https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-10-31/elon-m...), which is that they receive a golden parachute for a simple reason. Their self-interest was to say "la-la-la, we can't hear you" when Musk comes trying to buy Twitter. That would've given them a chance to maintain high paid positions for years. Instead, they sold to him, knowing they'd probably be given the boot.

Now, at some level, it still stinks that the CEO is getting paid so many tens of millions of dollars for less than a year's worth of work. To solve that, you'd have to cut CEO pay in the first place, because just removing the parachute would incentivize clinging to their existing paychecks.
This headline is alarmist and the article itself is designed to manipulate people unfamiliar with the productivity metric or its recent movement. Note that the article and the graph are about the % change in productivity... which spiked sharply during the pandemic and has now returned to the growth line it was on prior.

Here's the fed numbers: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/OPHNFB

The productivity drop the OP is referring to is that little blip downwards at the end. Hell, here's the Fed asking a year ago if the pandemic boosted productivity: https://fredblog.stlouisfed.org/2021/07/has-the-pandemic-boo...

Basically all the chatter in these comments are irrational speculation, based on a false premise, and flatly wrong.

This is exactly why many people intentionally avoid testing themselves or their children. If you don't have a positive test then officially you don't have COVID-19 and can continue your normal life (symptoms permitting).

Waaaaaay too late for that. Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts now have enough traction (and more importantly, the creator support that caused the original Vine to languish) that they would become the standard should TikTok disappear.
Is nobody else suspicious that NASA mostly publishes pictures with vague claims about them? Increased resolution is not providing any new clues or inspiration about "the universe". It seems to me like propaganda for a nihilist cosmology.

Considering that the Big Old Bang and Heat Death are based off plugging Infinity into quantum models, and therefor not real, these new images may not even be of objects lightyears away (also a model). They can't prove they are not zooming on something closer.
Asking sources to publish their name is a very sure way to not have sources at all.

Quote Orwell, Journalism is printing what someone else does not want printed. You need to get people to tell you about all those things, and as that someone who dislike them being printed has power (it ain't news otherwise,) you need to find a way to make people talk to you. "Help me to rekt your career and life" just don't cut it.
And when hired he would be hire into the role that has the salary range he requires and possibly some larger than average performance based compensation scheme, which is totally legal, but also possibly not because at the point that you're hired as a principal or distinguished eng the default compensation is still really high.
Still lacks proper documentation (like, vital details still missing). So obviously not a serious feature yet.

This fact has been reported multiple times before[1][2][3], and it's frustrating that a company that claims having over 1000 engineers, and touts its $6B campus at every opportunity in every one of its keynotes has, evidently, not enough resources for proper documentation.

Title should contain the name of the thing.

People presenting their own work get a lot of leeway and there's nothing in this that approaches clickbait. Having to click on a thing to learn more about what it is is not in itself clickbait.

in my opinion a lot of the humor and enjoyment in Gary's mod was in the hilarious physics based violence. that generation of gamers had a much tougher stomach for that sort of content. (I still love it). look at soldier of fortune 2 footage for example.

these days unfortunately developers believe they need to be more sensitive to appeal to a different (wider?) audience of people who will be able to better appreciate unspeakable violence on cartoony characters.

I think the realism is funnier because it's more shocking and visceral. like dead baby jokes and dark humor in general. dead baby jokes aren't funny when you replace the babies with stuffed animals.
Apparently criticizing the debacle on how incompetently they withdrew from Afghanistan or where Covid originated from are all considered disinfo and misinfo? It seems more like political narrative shaping.

> Plans to expand censorship on topics like withdrawal from Afghanistan, origins of COVID, info that undermines trust in financial institutions.

> FBI agent Laura Dehmlow was in communications w Facebook that led to the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020 over the false allegation that it was “disinfo.” This year, she met w/ Twitter/DHS to stress “we need a media infrastructure that is held accountable.”

> Facebook and Twitter created special portals for the government to rapidly request takedowns of content. The portals, along with NGO partners used to censor a wide range of content, including obvious parody accounts and content disagreeing w gov pandemic policy.

> The emails and documents show close collaboration b/w DHS & private sector. Twitter's Vijaya Gadde (fired by @elonmusk last week) met monthly with DHS to discuss censorship plans. Microsoft exec texted DHS: "Platforms have got to get comfortable with gov't"

> How does DHS justify its evolving mission from countering foreign terror groups to policing domestic "disinfo" on social media? Leaked planning docs show the agency argues false information is a source of radicalization & violence.

> Earlier this year, DHS launched a widely panned "Disinfo Governance Board" which it later shuttered following criticism. But the same agenda lives on w/ DHS sub-agency "CISA" which argues disinfo is a threat to American "critical infrastructure" #dhsleaks

Why does it surprise you that people with more interest in getting accurate information are going to be the ones with more accurate information? If information doesn’t have value to you, you’re not going to pay for it.
It's pretty funny to see Linux become the OS that is being imposed by government/corporate after all of these years of Microsoft being in that role.
You make a good point. Those who overuse these tools to an annoying or bothersome point will make the things we love come off as annoying. I'd prefer to discuss the use of restraint with the people who overuse these features rather than have them taken away.

I think the word / concept you are looking for is justice.

Prudent actions are rooted in truth. Where there is not prudence there is no justice. Strength and action in the absence of justice is tyranny.
It sure seems like a no brainer. The fact that colleges don't use it tells me that it wouldn't "solve the same problem" otherwise they would do it. They know the details and can see how it would work out.

I'd guess it would help lots of low-income Asian students. There are so many of them with pretty good test scores and grades. They might end up swamping the affirmative action beneficiaries under a socioeconomic program. That would be good for some types of equity but it wouldn't "solve the same problem" as affirmative action.
>> The fact is that many employers don't actually know what they would be willing to pay someone.

> Then they need better data. A great way to get that would be looking at all the other job listings with salary ranges if they don't already have access to back channel data.

You're missing the point: the variable is the candidate, not the role. I know the market rate for a candidate that is just over-the-bar for my role, and I know that market rate for a super-star who can not only do this role, but is probably already capable of doing the next one.

> Then it should be multiple listings with different requirements, even if the only difference is years of experience.

So, what if you apply for a role that turns out to be wrong for you based on my assessment of you then I should reject you so you can re-apply for the other role? That's ridiculous.
A pricing scheme where I don't pay $29.99 for a minimalist editor that gets one year of updates.
There wasn’t HN so no distraction to digress to every now and them.

I second this - systems were small and most people could wrap their brains around them. Constant pressure existed and there wasn’t “google” & “so” & other blogs to search for solutions. You had to discover by yourself. Language and API manuals weighed quite a bit. Just moving them around the office was somewhat decent exercise.

There wasn’t as much build vs buy discussion. If it was simple enough you just built it. I spent my days & evenings coding and my nights partying. WFH didn’t exist so, if you were on-call you were at work. When you were done you went home.

My experience from 25 years ago.
Fella's gotta go. You deserve to be CTO.
I did ponder whether to not mention Go in the title, but I had noticed that it's unclear what the devs mean by "support for 23 languages". Go is known to have been their main focus. In general, there is no documentation whatsoever, although the editor is interesting.
Easily yes. At the very, very least the grandchildren will be able to contact a techie friend for quick help.

Plus we will be through the 2020s faster than you know it, and with 20 years remaining after that...I mean I can still, today, easily convert & read Microsoft .lit eBooks from the year 2000...so HTML ought to be no problem whatsoever.

(And this providing that one has obtained access to electrical power kept in a post-apocalyptic 200-story underground mega-vault, via keys found in an auxiliary bolthole maybe, but still!)

Seriously speaking, you probably won't even need a browser; it may be faster to go to your favorite app store and grab an HTML reader.

Keep your images and videos linked relatively & stored locally if possible. Ideally the links are not so much href='https://example.com/example-image.jpg' but rather just href='example-image.jpg' for example.

I would also be surprised if IA didn't eventually add a Reader function for rendering arbitrary pasted or uploaded HTML, if there isn't one already (in addition to the Wayback Machine). Their current reader is easily the best web reader I've used for various formats.
One part of the solution is letting people know the origin of the people they're communicating with. I'd like to see country flags on every piece of content on the internet, HN included. Not enforced by law but just by convention.

It's technically very feasible. The "unknown" flag could be used in cases where it's difficult to determine an origin, because that is informative as well.

And users should be given the ability to filter out content from origins they don't wish to interact with.

And this isn't xenophobia or racism or anything like it. It's about controlling and understanding who you're communicating with so you can take that into account.

In fact, in many cases users may find it useful to filter out content from their own origin, to get a foreign take on a topic, for example.
At the high end, Apple isn't in this market. ARM designs don't really compete well (yet). Graviton3 is great value but it does not unseat EPYC or even Xeon for raw performance.
Big companies ABSOLUTELY know how much they are willing to pay. They have well defined pay bands/grades by geo area.
> The original post which set off this chain asserted it was about not how much workers get done but how much money is made off of what workers get done... which is unambiguously wrong

I don't believe the difference is consequential here, since the originating point still holds even using your definition. I wouldn't say it's "wrong" so much as imprecise, as the way I interpreted the statement would encompass your more detailed description.

It's like when I ask people "how much money" they make, I intend them to include non-cash compensation in the number (in dollar equivalent), and pretty much all do without additional prompting.
