I thought it was the storage of such data that is illegal not the connection? Obviously logs and analytics are an issue in some cases for this law, but I slightly agree with it; should we not all want our digital footprint to be as small as possible?
Ask HN: Recruiters, how bad is the hiring market for candidates?
With so many layoffs happening simultaneously right now, and so many companies with hiring freezes, layoffs planned, or other prohibitive measures taken, I can imagine that the amount of candidates applying for any one role must be a lot.

Tech Recruiters: Have you noticed that more people are applying for the same roles?

Do you have less roles to recruit for than before?

How intense is the competition presently for roles?

The loss of that payment would be part of the business model, but companies really don’t think in terms of making list revenue up.

If there is an opportunity to increase revenue (subject to mission/values/etc), you take it. A decrease in another line of business doesn’t matter. Or an increase; you wouldn’t say “hey we’ve got this amazing ad opportunity but the AirPods business is killing it so let’s not bother.”

I guess the nuance here is that the business decision might be “our search, with our ads” versus “Google’s search, with their ads, plus $15B/year”. In that case I think there’s a reasonable argument that users are better off with Apple’s ads than Google’s.

> Randomly asking for a raise doesn't work.

Randomly, no... but asking for a raise while showing reasons why you think you deserve it definitely can. I know because I literally just did that.

Keep a running document of accomplishments, especially anything that is "above and beyond", whatever that might mean in your context. It's much easier to present that then trying to remember everything you did months/years later.

Also, in my experience, it's fairly easy to tell which companies will be willing to give you raises based on how your initial salary negotiations went. When I've worked for stingy employers who wouldn't budge on salary, I rarely got anything over a basic 2-3% annual bump. When there was a lot of flexibility in the salary range (or when they've offered more than I asked) it has been quite easy to get additional bumps. I also have the same work ethic and drive at each of these companies, so I don't _think_ it was a difference in performance. I've always received glowing reviews regardless of the company.
At some point the search filed stooped searching. It is something like:

* Here is the most popular results that are slightly relevant to your query. E.g. African war lord will pull up a gamer playing pranks on other gamers.

* Then, we give up. Here is some unrelated videos we hope will distract you searching what you are looking for.

Is this what tech should look like? Search has been purposely broken.

My understanding is that Rust provides memory safety with less overhead than languages that provide memory-safety via garbage collection. This comes at the price of some extra cognitive load for developers, but is appropriate for many applications where the added performance is needed.

(Not necessarily "better" overall, but a better choice for certain applications.)
Its not about the connection. You can connect to the website. But the website shouldnt save the IP address for anything other than technical relevant purposes.

Ie. logs should be ok if its to combat DDOS and the like (for a limited time, ie 24h), but not for advertising purposes.
I'm going to go against the grain here. If this were my project I would try to spin up render machines dynamically in response to load. (Similarly to how gitlab CI runners can be spun up automatically, for instance.) There is no need to replace a working technology stack to make it faster. 1 minute is a reasonable wait time, and if your wait time goes over 5 minutes, then spin up some more workers.

Plus we have to be real and say, is the only reason the queue so long, because you let a bunch of nerds on HN add to the queue for free? I'm guessing the answer is, "probably." No need to engineer a fix for a problem that will typically not exist.
Nice idea, but where would you use it, though?

I think The Information's intel is probably true — that Apple is years away from launching web search product — but I don't think that means there's been any loss of momentum. Building a generalized search engine better than Google is hard.

We know that Apple absolutely bristles at dependencies for core capabilities. For now they'll continue to begrudgingly take Google's $15 billion/year, but Google will not be the default search engine for iOS by 2030. I can understand core team members not wanting to wait that long.
Suggesting videos that users don't end up watching is even cheaper.

No Code Recommendations
Hey guys,

I am a marketer myself and I am looking to learn no code from the best. I have wasted lot of time choosing wrong people to learn from. So, I would like to learn from the best I can. I would like to ask where can I find the best resources that will guide me from step 1.
It's at least 16 years old https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/1f4d4de1ba52d0a9f1310e1026d9...
Google is paying apple $14 billion a year to not build a search engine. Gotta be hard for them to say no to that, and even more cynically having a team building a google competitor probably helped them negotiate a bigger bribe from Google.
Stealing billions of dollars while working doesn't make it a professional failure, it's still stealing.
Well, this is part of my point. Life is not only work, but if you have leading products/economies you stay in a better position. If a whole block overtakes the other as we are legislating better and better conditions to non-end without paying attention to other factors, the fate is clear.

The US has for 70 years enjoyed the distinction of being the most powerful country in the world by various reasonable metrics, almost certainly the most powerful to have ever existed. But is it the greatest country in the history of the world? Depends on what you mean by "great". We've undertaken atrocities; started wars; destabilized entire regions. Despite being unbelievably rich we have people dying to treatable illnesses like diabetes for lack of medical care. We face more violent crime than other comparably rich nations, and whole swathes of non-white individuals have valid reasons to fear the very police force that should serve a protecting role. Despite being in certain respects undereducated, we saddle those who seek higher education with enormous debt burden. I could go on and on.

I'm not saying that other nations haven't done things worth vehemently criticizing, but it seems a bit ... gauche to call the US the greatest country in history full stop.

Tell HN: Amazon delivered just the box with the product removed
I just received my Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro Earbud headphones. The item was supposed to be new. The manufacturer's box looked normal except the security seal was broken. I looked inside and it was completely empty. I no longer trust Amazon with electronics purchases. I'm curious if anyone else has encountered similar issues and if there are more trustworthy online marketplaces. There are some serious quality control issues going on at Amazon.
It's not. Garbage collection is fine.

Rust just imposes constraints on references using the type system, so the compiler knows to emit the free in the right spot. For regular application code there's no real benefit. It's not really a systems language because of all the hidden memory allocations and lack of a stable ABI. It's garbage for embedded because of all the gratuitous copies you have to make to appease the borrow checker. It blows up your memory budget.
Thoughts on my first machine learning project

I don't even know what are you talking about, most teenagers didn't own a car in the 80's. In fact there are more cars now than there were back then, more people too. I don't see how the video game industry helped the environment, on the contrary it had a measurable negative impact on it thanks to the energy consumption and the waste.

The only thing video games have going for them is that they don't get you laid.
This is a nice paper, and I do appreciate the authors' efforts. I fight with this stuff daily.

But...this caught my eye:

"While it’s a pleasant thought experiment to imagine a world
where we do not require backwards compatibility with estab-
lished loaders, the state of the practice is that we must work
within the limitations of ELF and the System V ABI model."

In light of the current HPC orthopraxis, I wonder if there might not be real value in seeing how far towards reality one could drag the thought experiment of not having to depend on that backwards compatibility. E.G. what sort of work abandoning the ELF/SysV ABI model might require.

Dijkstra said something once about the problems of the real world being the ones that you're left with when you refuse to apply their effective solutions.
Based on previous exchange bankruptcies, you're now a creditor: so you'll get something at some time, but not a lot and not soon.

(Did the mtgox payout happen yet?)
Even Coinbase?
Hehe, sure, but there are better ways to do this, and it’s a common need. If the best thing we have is hitting undo 45 times to find something, copy it, try not to accidentally type anything and try not to accidentally lose the clipboard, then redo 45 times, then do a bunch of manual editing… now repeat the entire process for every file, when there are several involved… if that’s sufficient, then SVN is sufficient for source control, and we have no need for Git, right? ;)

My real point is that the “Great Undo-Redo Quandary” is broader than what’s in the article, and the solution discussed is incomplete, doesn’t solve a big chunk of the reason people are using undo multiple times.
How much further?

By their own figures, Tether is now undercapitalized and just had billions withdrawn. They made those payments. But, as Hemmingway said, bankruptcy tends to happen gradually and then all at once. Tether is in a hole. Nobody knows how close they are to not making payments. But when they implode, it will be sudden and the blast radius will be large.

Does Tether weather this squall? Based on history, probably. Based on economic fundamentals, they will sink at some point.

Yes, that’s generally what happens when an unregulated bank goes bankrupt. The list of creditors will be long, and some have priority claims so they get paid first.

Everybody said this can happen. Coinbase was forced to include a warning to this effect in their filings as a public company. But nobody cares when the going is good and FOMO is strong.
David Petraeus has entered the chat.
She was referring to the type of math that she did to earn a math degree, which I suppose could be true. My math degree did not require any of the kind of math I assume they do at these kinds of exchanges, although I also assume that the whole branch of math that starts getting into modeling and analysis would be very useful in these sorts of companies.
I was thinking the same thing. Even if I managed to do everything else, having to hire someone to do that would be nigh impossible.

Ah, from the perspective of website owners, not the CDN owner... Well, use a European CDN, they tend to follow European regulation, just like US companies follow US regulation.

What information do fact checkers, journalists, and other so-called authorities use to validate information? Why do you believe they are the arbiters of truth?

How would your rationale fair during the Copernican Revolution? In 1615, just a few hundred years ago, the arbiters of truth concluded that heliocentrism was foolish, absurd, and heretical since it contradicted the prevailing thought of the time.

If you really spend the time to think through the question, I think you'll conclude there is no reason for these fools to be gate keeping, especially when they consistently get most things wrong most of the time.

“The industry" isn't a single uniform group. Sure, people who spent their career procuring industrial controllers won't look at Arduino even once when they introduce a non-maker form factor, and chances are they wouldn't be impressed if they did. But I can easily imagine that there's an underserved space between the extremes of the maker juggling dev-boards not really intended for him and the career specialist who goes to all the right trade shows. Some company for example that has barely enough controller needs to set aside full time staff for that, but does not want to outsource either.

It's possible that Arduino fantasizes about taking over large fractions of the industrial PLC market and if that's the case I'll chuckle agreeingly with everybody ridiculing them, but I believe that there could far more reasonable and realistic opportunities for them to stretch a little in that direction.

> I've rarely seen individual contributions able to be evaluated 'fairly' at any scale. Your skills may be top notch, but you were focused on a project that was killed after 10 months because.... budget cuts? Bad management? Your contribution to the company in that case can be seen as a net negative, but it's largely out of your control.

this is absolutely true. But everyone needs to decide for themselves if they want to work for a Google-esque company that does shit like that, or something smaller where you can have a material impact and your absence will be noticed and missed instantly.

When you join a company, you are making an informed bet. You're betting that you can find successful projects to work on within the company, that the budget won't be slashed, that your manager isn't a sociopath who only promotes his drinking buddies, that half the company won't get fired within 6 months, that it won't go bankrupt.

You won't always get it right, sometimes you just get dealt a bad hand, in which case; try again, don't sit tight for another 5 years hoping things will change; do something about it. Move projects and try again. Or find another job.

It's possible. Because every GDPR discussion is this: emotionally charged "gdpr is the devil" sold to gullible devs by advertisement industry vs. attempt to disprove at least the obvious lies.

> please imagine who I am who feels so passionately about this.

The less we imagine and the more we deal with facts, the better we, and the world we build, will be.

So let's reiterate facts vs imagination in my original reply:

- "GDPR is ugly."

It's an emotionally charged subjective statement. However, GDPR is no uglyt. As far as laws surrounding complex topics go, it's absolutely definitely emphatically not ugly.

- "The only thing it allows you to do before you get confirmation to process PII is to show static page requesting for permissions. That's basically it. You can't do any "cloudy" stuff prior."

This is 100% unadulterated lie.

The problem though, people keep
mixing emotionally charged statements with lies and half-truths, and you get "GDPR is the devil" in the majority of HN comments.

From GDPR article 2:

> 2. This Regulation does not apply to the processing of personal data:

> (c) by a natural person in the course of a purely personal or household activity

My sense (I am neither a lawyer nor European so this is certainly not European legal advice) is that you cannot use GDPR to compel someone to delete your contact info if they're solely a social acquaintance, but you can use it to compel them to delete it if they're a one-person business of some sort (contractor, Etsy seller, lawyer, etc.).
