I see a lot of negative comments and while some of them are definitely valid for the Qualcomm choices, but I have to say the box still feels like far better value for money over Apples offering.
Writing blog posts has been in my back-of-the-mind TO-DO list for a while now. I just never seem to have time for it. Or rather, there are a million things I end up prioritizing over blogging. One of these days, when I'm less busy, I'll start writing some blog posts. I definitely have some ideas for posts that I think could be interesting.
The Signal developers don't even provide RPM- or AppImage-based installers, despite being able to create the latter in their build pipeline. I'm never donating anything to them because I'm convinced they're lazy and stupid.

Fair concerns but I have trained a Naive bayes classifier on twitter data in the past using [1] a social study of categorised tweet to train the classifier and got around 85% accuracy. It was able to detect and properly classify rape threats as abusive but conversations about rape seed oil as non abusive. Considering the small data set and how little entropy there is between samples I consider it pretty useful.

I get that no machine learning is 100% perfect which is why it should be used as an indicator rather than the deciding factor.

I have had issues with gmail blocking emails but as you point out it was always because of ip reputation not over zealous Naive Bayes.

> Downvoting of alternate opinions

It wasn't supposed to be that way. Even the Reddiquette page told people not to downvote simply because they disagree. But nobody reads Reddiquette, and these days most redditors think disagreement is the purpose of downvotes.

That being said, you'd have to be naive to think downvoting for disagreement doesn't happen on HN.

> post throttling

This is only a thing for new accounts as an anti-spam measure.

> over zealous moderators banning people for wrongthink

I think it's wrong to blame reddit for this. This will be a problem on ANY site that allows users to create their own communities within it.
That sounds like economic coercion by any standard.

There are so many tangible vectors in content! It makes me feel like moderation is a doable, albeit hard to automate, task:

- substantiated / unsubstantiated
- extreme / moderate
- controversial / anodyne
- fact / fun / fiction
- legal / unlawful
- mainstream / niche
- commercial / free
- individual / collective
- safe / unsafe
- science / belief
- vicious / humane
- blunt / tactful
- etc. etc.

Maybe I'm too techno-utopic, but can't we model AI to detect how these vectors combine to configure moderation?

Ex: Ten years ago masks were niche, therefore unsubstantiated news on the drawbacks of wearing masks were still considered safe because very few people were paying attention and/or could harm themselves, so that it was not controversial and did not require moderation. Post-covid, the vector values changed, questionable content about masks could be flagged for moderation with some intensity indexes, user-discretion-advised messages and/or links to rebuttals if applicable.

Let the model and results be transparent and reviewable, and, most important, editorial. I think the greatest mistake of moderated social networks is that many people (and the network themselves) think that these internet businesses are not "editorial", but they are not very different from regular news sources when it comes to editorial lines.

We got "free pizzas" for something I don't even recall anymore this year at my company, sent to our home. Problem: It was a gift generalized to two whole regions, and of course I was in the "wrong one" for this. My pizza was sent at 4pm with no input from me, same with some colleagues, while we were working our asses off at the office studio recording on-demand content (we stayed up to 9:30pm). Needless to say I arrived to some cold soggy pizza at home.
A gift (pizza) of choice voucher would have been much better and less embarassing for leadership.
Gut flora probably affect calorie and nutrient absorption. It seems worth checking whether the gut flora changes increase calorie absorption or cause increased appetite (say, by causing nutrient deficiency) before deciding which path is better for weight loss.
Indeed. YT has a much different problem, which is to determine which video is going to go viral, and then transcode it into popular formats when it does.

In comparison, we pre-transcode everything to exacting standards, so all our CDN has to do is serve is static files.

I've heard a similar sentiment on other forums. I think switching jobs is a big deal for many and takes time, especially if you enjoy the work, like your manager, are paid well, or work well with your team.

From going through the interview process, possibly relocating, and starting from scratch again - I think it's reasonable that some people choose to put up with a lot before they switch.
I have no horse in this race, but an observation: the extraordinary value of this severance package is not a response to the GP's question. They asked how Stripe's leadership is personally demonstrating accountability, not what the corporation is doing to soften the blow.
I know this, you know this, and it's abhorrent. I wanted to skip over that detail and point at the more glaring issues with trusting them in general. The real point is that trusting Meta to be a good moderator of your communication and all the ways that can be misused is really absurd. Emphasized by your point that they can automagically escape their encryption routines on a whim.
Wow, another one? I just finish reading the thread on Stripe... I think we're going to need a Sacked-HN category.

I think Reddit is a terrible example. The moderators are volunteers, the rules and their application seem entirely arbitrary, and there is no way to opt out.

The key point the author of the article makes is the difference between moderation and censorship: you can opt-in to see moderated content, but you're unilaterally prevented from seeing censored content.

What Reddit does (removing posts, comments, banning accounts) falls under the definition of censorship here -- within the platform itself, obviously.

And these are the people who post on LinkedIn as if their understanding of esoteric Leetcode string DP problems is essential for scaling Amazon and Google.

They may not quite understand their development or deployment environment but their knowledge of writing segment tree as a single dimension array in 15 minute is somehow essential to scaling the internal CRUD app these people end up working on.

Now everyone being interviewed by this person has to know by heart or magically derive on spot how to find minimum steps to obtain maximum length palindrome subsequence of even length from a string consisting of lower case letters, because apparently it's the gist of all computer science knowledge a developer will need.
What are you trying to achieve, or what do you mean by "give back"? Which is more important, helping people or sticking with your SE skills? There isn't a wrong answer- I sincerely can't tell your priorities, goals, etc.

Who do you want help is the first question, then figure out how based on their needs. Who is in "the community" you want to give back to? I think one of the reasons you have come up dry is because there isn't a true need in the communities you are looking at.

I know this sounds critical, which it is, but hopefully not too critical. SE is fluff, those that desperately need help, they don't need code. People need shelter, food, water, health, safety- the rest is gravy. Money, which you have, can provide these basic needs. Donate money to charities that specialize in providing these things. Volunteer with the charities of your choice. Convert your skills and experience as a SE into cash (a placeholder for value), let the charities use your value to help people. It doesn't sound as satisfying or glamorous as teaching/mentoring but it will probably have a much greater impact. If you can make $300 per hour do that and hire 10 teachers/tutors instead of teaching yourself.

Other thoughts

-your money gives you time, time for you to volunteer and help

-Empower small local business, true mom and pops (build free websites, inventory tracking software, etc.)

-Software/sites for local charities (maybe as simple as etting up square donations on their site)

-clean up used laptops and give them away

-create scholarships
As one of the authors of the spec, I would be open to also publishing it with another standardization organization that makes specs publicly available, if the legal issues can somehow be sorted out. I think the other spec authors would also be open to that. We certainly have no desire to have a spec that is behind a paywall; that is just the way ISO operates, unfortunately.

This is a real difference, and one I want to expand on in my next article. You can fuck around much more in a web context than embedded, but you still often find out.

Doing web "well" requires thinking in terms of realtime and memory constraints. I don't want the latency of my microservice to jitter, nor do I want it to use random amounts of memory. Not only will I be able to provision smaller machines, but I will also guarantee better SLAs. Building your microservice just like you would a hard realtime constraint (guaranteed memory usage per request, preferably no allocations at all, time guarantees (response within 50 ms or I fail) helps make a robust, performant and resilient web application.

The problem you have here is one of physics. You as a human exist only because of a staggeringly massive number of filters that have allowed you to pass (at least from a non-theist view). Brandolini's law applied to evolution is Darwinism. Simply put, if you focused on bullshit rather than survival you were dead.

Coming back to computer physics, simply put we don't have access to unlimited energy and storage space. I can generate trash faster than you can install servers to keep it, and much faster than anyone can afford to pay for the space. Companies that do not control spam simply go out of business, industrial Darwinism.

You can ignore physics as much as you want, but it's not ignoring you.
> Millions (and billions) come out of their valuation as a result. It's not like they're getting whisked away on a golden parachute.

It's the exact opposite. They're more likely to stem the bloodletting of their valuation with layoffs extending runway or boosting profitabiliy than see it get worse.
Meta could have purchased or cloned the concept of "Second Life" so that people can do VR with regular computer/TV screens. That's a much more approachable first step. When that catches on, THEN focus on physical 3D headsets. Screen VR is "good enough" and easy for users to try. Learn to walk before run.
If you click through the references in your links a couple of times, you eventually find this[1]:

> The other tech giant that can be compelled by law enforcement to hand over potentially large amounts of sensitive messaging data is Apple. iMessage, Apple’s text-message service, comes loaded on the iPhone and is used by 1.3 billion people worldwide. According to the FBI’s “Lawful Access” guide, if served with a court order or a search warrant, Apple must hand over basic subscriber information as well as 25 days’ worth of data about queries made in iMessage, such as what a targeted user looked up in iMessage and also which other people searched for that targeted user in the app. That doesn’t include actual message content or whether messages were exchanged between different users.

That doesn't sound like the police have real time access to Apple Messages at all. I believe they still have access to unencrypted backups, which is not real-time.

It seems to me they are moderately open about it. "We expected things to keep growing, acted on that, it didn't, now acting on that."

I suppose they could say "we thought the economy might contract in 2022 as it would eventually, but that risk was more palatable than not growing and missing out vs our competitors if the contraction didn't happen."

They're only paying this much severance because 90 percent of it is legally obligated by the state of California, where the vast majority of their employees work.

60 work days must be paid out, which is 12 weeks of work. So essentially they're giving people only an extra 2 weeks of severance to sign away their right to a wrongful termination lawsuit.
I am honestly amused by this. There are so many denigrating words that have their origin in or deep connotations with intellectual disability, yet somehow “r-word” is the one that gets all the attention. Though, I must admit I’ve seen people going even further and claiming that “crazy” is an ableist slur.

And I am not sure which is worse, being selective or being consistent but annoying.
What do you mean by organically?

You can post a Show HN here so people could see your product.

You can have a blog in your product's website and use your content and digital marketing product to do content and digital marketing.

You can search for digital marketing agencies and talk with them.

You can contact companies that do content and digital marketing (who doesn't?) and talk with them.

You can search on LinkedIn for people with that profile and reach out.

You can look up subreddits.
I've had issues trying to use multiple different Kopia repos from one machine. (A dedicated back-up server basically)

With compression landing in the most recent Reseic release, I'll probably switch back to that for my servers. Though I'm still keeping Kopia for my clients where I like a GUI once in a while.
> They could afford to dip into cash and keep everyone on board but their investors are more concerned about propping up the valuation

This an example of how bullshit jobs are created. Why keep people on a payroll if you have no use for them anymore?
1) Some of the UI items listed are generally good ideas, but some of them such as periodically presenting the choices to users, are pretty questionable. My choice should be respected and I should not be mandated to be interrupted with yet another nagging popup for the sake of compliance.

2) IMO, small search engines should wonder if the tiny gain they might get in the market from mandating bureaucrat intervention is worth the possible loss in reputation from getting bureaucrats more involved with technical stuff they should stay far away from. Look at DuckDuckGo: it wasn't hard for them to turn from a hero to a villain overnight for compromising their perceived morals. The people who choose and promote niche search engines to their friends are very picky about this kind of thing.

3) Can somebody explain how this line in the article is correct? I've changed my default search engine many times, and I've never had my decision not honored.

> In many cases, your decision to move to a greener or more privacy-friendly search engine is simply not honored.
> as it didn't actually target anything you saw as part of your identity

The parent comment already covered this. You don't believe you are, based on how you've talked about this experience. At no point do you say you identify with the word, just that it was used against you.
IMO Arrays implementing IntoIterator was significant because it means there isn't a weird special case to teach newcomers about, and because it requires a hack to make it work (in older Editions the fact Arrays are IntoIterator is hidden during method resolution to prevent old code from breaking).
The const in this example is on the member function so nothing external can cast it away, but the value of it there is really more about contract/behavioral enforcement than optimizations yes.
> You've got taxes on that so 40% and then health insurance at Cobra rates.

Your taxes would only be 40% (actually 47%) if you make beyond $500k a year. Cobra rates are quite affordable. I was on Cobra when I was laid off due to covid, and it was $550 a month for top tier healthcare.
To be clear, I was technically a non-union employee in a union shop so that may explain some of my ignorance. (Most of the white collar employees were non-union. The controls engineers were in a quasi-union status without actually joining the union. It was a weird situation because of some ongoing legal battles.)

What you said does make sense though. The union apprentiships were extremely competitive, possibly because they were constrained to low numbers.
Agreed.

In my experience, if you’re job hunting and don’t have an offer in hand by November 1st, you’re probably not going to get one until mid-January.

The “normal” interview process takes 4-6 weeks in my experience from application to offer/rejection. That is doubled between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day.
Stedi is the game changer when it comes to EDI.
Let me take you on a journey.
My company is building out a TMS for shippers.
First few months we would only integrate with carriers that have APIs, because like {bena} said "EDI is a btch", so we wanted to avoid it at all cost.
Eventually, it came time for us to take on the dreaded EDI integrations. Oh man, how I hated it. Stack Overflow could not save me. Storing the files on AWS or GCP would have been easy-ish, but then the real challenge of needing a trigger every time a file is drop onto the buckets. GCP has nothing clear. And AWS is evil. So I had to keep looking and looking. And then I remembered a company I chatted with 8 months prior, Stedi. They just now released the feature I was needing. "Buckets and Triggers". It was heaven sent.
I could now host my EDI solutions on Stedi ({AnEro} says that it might be cheaper to build it in house. But the thing is, EDI is not our core competency as a company. We want to focus on providing different values for our customers. So would rather not having more technical debt with no meaningful impact.).

The journey continues...

Stedi overs 4 pillar features.
Buckets, Triggers, Guides, Maps

The buckets and triggers is what hooked me. The guides and maps is what has been saving me.
You see, EDI is a confusing btch. And trying to map out my json to those EDI files is a nightmare. Well, would be a nightmare without Stedi. Their UI makes it simple and easy to do. I'm able to now enjoy life again. Smile, laugh, love. All because of what Stedi is doing to shake up the EDI world.

In Stedi We Trust.

DISCLAIMER: I am not affiliated with Stedi in any way. Not financially nor socially, only emotionally because I love their product that much.

You came here with a strong educational background, either high school or Bachelor's in engineering and significant money in your sponsoring parents bank account.

You are privileged, and I know it because I wanted to study in the United states for a master's degree but my parents couldn't afford it. The students who were able to afford an education in the United states were the rich kids in my class, and 100% of them were upper caste.

Most American students graduate with a 100K+ debt burden. How much debt did you have on graduation?

I forgive you for being blind to your upper caste privileges.

Having said that, I believe SAT scores should be the key factor in admissions.
I'd start with slapping Google and Apple really hard to stop them from even thinking to remove apps from their platforms that they don't like for one reason or another.
> RawTherapee was originally written by Gábor Horváth of Budapest, Hungary. The name "Therapee" was originally an acronym derived from "The Experimental Raw Photo Editor".

I wouldn't be surprised if the author (Hungarian has the same etymology for therapist, therapy etc.) thought therapee means therapy or perhaps therapist. Because RawTherapist would make sense as a name.

At BorgBase.com the largest Borg repo we host is about 70 TB. Still manageable with server-side pruning. Mostly larger files from what the user told me.

We just added support for Restic too. Using Nginx with HTTP/2. Fastest combination I've seen so far. So very excited to offer two great options now.
It has been said that we are the sheer capacity for experience itself. FWIW, my own investigation has born this out.
Again - is the pay really all that great, when the job market for devs is actually really quite good? When you could get a new job in really short order? Why would anyone put up with this nonsense?

Or are we talking about the non-devs here?
Probably because they were scared of losing their job and were being asked to work harder.
