What is the risk here? Presumably Google Play would not accept an apk that was signed by "android", right? Assuming that is not the case, the only risk would be installing apks from alternative sources, like F-Droid, who should probably check for strange signings, too, IMHO.

Or there is "something else", some sort of bullshit that goes over the baseband, where updates cannot be refused (other than to put your device in airplane mode, or off) and now because the "platforms" couldn't protect their private keys from malefactors, kids with SDRs are going to effortlessly pown people's phones by pushing their own software over a possible, nay probable, proprietary baseband channel.

(Tangential scifi rant: And then you add the risk of manufacturer shenanigans at the PCB or chip-image level, and you can't really do due diligence on chips without your own electron microscope (and possibly not even then). I've had this worried thought with software, too, that there is too much complexity to really understand it. In the same way our computer hardware is actually too hard for any one person to understand "completely" - that is, possess the skill-set of every individual contributor on the engineering team of a company that makes smartphones.)
> the large increase of people identifying as trans(trans women in particular)

Well, that's not quite accurate. (a) there isn't a large increase of trans people, historically speaking, just folks being more open and honest about their status recently, since it's become marginally less punished in a few specific places, than it has been prior, and (b) in recent years, trans men or transmasc folks are the largest group of those new influx, not trans women.

> There are massive amounts of compounds in our environment that are endocrine disrupters or mimic sex hormones like estrogen

If people were getting estrogen in the environment that they didn't want in any amount meaningful enough to effect them, you'd wouldn't expect to see more trans women (trans women, generally speaking, are usually deficient in estrogen), you'd expect to see more dysphoric men. You'd expect to see a sharp increase in cis men presenting with ED and gynecomastia and such. (Which, to be fair, is a thing we're seeing. But so far, appears to be mainly linked to increasing obesity rates)

> Maybe they would even benefit more from hormone treatments in the opposite direction than the "gender affirming" treatments.

This is barbaric if you think about it for more than 5 seconds. So barbaric in fact, that it's been outlawed in many nations -- see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_therapy for more info
< Using sex-aligned hormones to cause a person to become cisgender is sometimes tried and does not appear to be effective

How well documented is this, like when this has been tried has it been done as part of a formal medical study? What I'm really hoping is someone can say something like "here's the randomized controlled trial comparing treatments".
The mouse one was easy to figure out, but the keyboard icon was strange as hell. In any case, a text label in all the major languages wouldn't hurt (similar to what they do for kernel panics.)
Hi jdsimcoe, Data Engineer position isn't available on greenhouse job board - is that no longer available?

This really is a nice library... saved me an absolute ton of time, back in the day.
Sadly it is commonplace here (HN). You can find comments on HM spouting Tucker Carlson and co's outrage on a daily basis. I do not envy dang's job.

Moderating dog whistles at-scale is an unsolved problem. Quick, Paul Graham, seize the opportunity to change the world!!
I noted the same a few months ago when Zed came up in a discussion about Atom, and Raph responded: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31674931
Whoa, this is really cool! Is it self-hostable/open source?
Ask HN: Are you usually late, and if so why?
Point of contention with my wife, but I'm increasingly surprised that quite a lot of the investors, entrepreneurs, and business owners I cross paths with are habitually late.

There was a point in my life where I was just, like, never late again. I actually know that I've been late for (or downright missed) 4 meetings in 2022, because when it happens it sits with me.

Are you late a lot?

And if so, what's the underlying reason?
This might be feasible, but it seems like we're pushing every possible lever to tell the PRC to make their own silicon ASAP.

Yeah, they're behind now, but given it's now strategically important both economically and militarily, can that be expected to last forever?
Oh yeah, that's true. Here's who I was citing then: https://twitter.com/maldr0id/status/1598467755887529990
I pulled a 128D out of a dumpster (literally) around 2002, in the US. I was always a bit confused if it was actually a 128D or a 128DCR since the articles I checked at the time said the 128D wasn't sold in the US, but the nameplate does say "128D" on it. Newer articles mention that the DCR had a metal case, whereas the original 128D was plastic so now I know mine is the DCR. I've never seen another 128D in person so it was really difficult to tell.

We probably need to bring in some kind of criminal liability for the companies that only cared about time to market and put their users at risk.

After memory safe languages become a bit more battle tested, C/++ needs to be regulated like asbestos.
Ya but, what's wrong with ham sandwiches?
Glad to hear you've had such a good experience! And you've actually given me some good ideas about how I can improve my marketing too!
I'm curious why these discussions sidestep the fact that a company has a fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder value. It is understandable, from a shareholder perspective, to not want your investment's brand next to potentially unsavory content. It seems that there is a real and unresolved tension between a culture of free speech (which I wholeheartedly endorse) and modern-day capitalism.
Two notes:

1. Does orienting the long direction of the modules in-plane with the rotation provide enough moment of inertia on the intermediate axis to avoid the risk of oscillation? See [1][2][3].

Conceivably, one might repurpose the High Frontier physics engine to evaluate that type of stability. Model the geometry in the simulation except spin it sideways (cylinder axes parallel to spin axis), and see how long it takes to damp the oscillation as it falls into the lower energy state (cylinder axes perpendicular to spin axis).

One easy hack is to put solar arrays in-plane with the rotation, eg Vast.[4]

2. For the spin-up procedure, it seems easier to start by spinning up the connected modules, then spooling out the tether gradually. This avoids the "bounce" problem entirely. By controlling the rate of unspooling and thruster firing, a suitably gravity level can be maintained during deployment.

Thanks, very interesting proposal!

Edit to add: three apparently...

3. With all the cables coplanar, you will likely encounter an undesirable "twisting" oscillation. This can be fixed by putting some of the cables out-of-plane with each other.

One approach would be to add a big truss to the top of the cylinders that juts out sideways, and run cables to the ends of that. Sounds heavy.

A more light-weight approach uses tensegrity. Add a single central "floating" rod in compression (colinear with the spin axis) and have cables run from each end of the rod to each end of the cylinder. Minimally there would be four cables which form a long thin tetrahedron. For redundancy, probably four cables per end.

A longer rod gives more stability but adds more mass, so it's a typical tradeoff.
If they don’t fight that use case, I suspect they become a lightning rod for stolen credit card transactions.
I agree he’s a crazy genius, but disagree he’s a different species. I firmly believe that there are a ton of Ramanujans that die in poverty or working at some factory everyday because they just aren’t in the position to prove themselves (or even know that they could be a genius.)
If not 10k, what is the magic number? Do larger school districts produce impressively better graduates through economy of scale of some sort?
Teaching more people how to code is a very noble and worthy goal. I for one applaud the hard work the team at Lambda/Bloom does.

The press coverage has been insane especially if you think about all the problems universities have.
Thanks for your work. The world needs as many people with actual values as it can get.

It took guts to be amazing /salute
Here's an interesting video by Technology Connections on how most dishwasher "pods" are overkill: https://youtu.be/Ll6-eGDpimU

I see the bubbles foaming at the edges of my cups when I fill them with water, so I always rinse them before use. I would avoid most dishwasher detergent pods if I could, but I can't sell the idea to my significant other.
Cats don't actually hunt rats much, surprisingly, because they're usually too big (versus the mice that are their bread and butter).

There are other animals that do, but not sure people want hordes of foxes, for instance, in place of the rats.
I take an "ad-optimistic" stance.

For the most part, the economy doesn't need a lot of ads in crowded markets: the brand of soft drink or toothpaste you buy isn't going to vary substantially, and any deal-breaker in a certain brand is one you'll pick up on without an ad.

But the stuff you didn't even know existed is where ads can add something. Word of mouth doesn't always give the answers you need, especially as the subject matter becomes more private, sensitive, or trade-secretive. Some of the answers can be found by asking directly, but in many other cases, you need an introduction. Opting to keep some degree of advertisement in your life - in spaces where you want to "keep some feelers out" - could actually be a benefit because it means you will learn just that new things exist.

The downside is that you may think the new thing is what you need, and it isn't. But that's probably most of consumerism. So your read on it will come down to whether you are "ad-optimistic" as I stated up front. An ad-pessimist will assume that nothing sold could be useful enough to bother listening to the pitch.
Glad to hear our students worked out for you! We tried hard to give students a career, not just their first job.

Some of the other anecdotes in this thread are disheartening, for sure.

Flatiron, Hack Reactor, and Hackbright also had similar reputations early on. A very different landscape now.
Yeah that's the minimum since Android 11 for system apps targeting API level 30+.
Not for big arrays.

Radix sort is O[n] . (or [n * number of bytes in Int] or whatever is being compared).

It's omitted from the comparisons, I see. Radix sort can also have predictable memory overhead.
Why do you think that is “fair to assume?” To me, it sounds like wild conjecture.
Much of Android is written in Java/Kotlin. Transitions from the JVM to C/Rust and back are not going to be free due to extra wrappers and the inability to optimize across the boundary. So for some usecases Java will be faster. But anything CPU or memory intensive will probably be cheaper in Rust.

Can you name one Intel Mac release that didn't ship with iTunes?
I don't think the assertion that "lambda grads weren't able to get good jobs" is true.

Obviously not every single student has been hired, but our hiring rates have always been pretty good (they're better now than they were in the past), and thousands of BloomTech (we had to change our name because of a trademark lawsuit) grads have increased their lifetime earnings by billions of dollars, and work at nearly every major company you can think of.
I was just in NY and I saw a fair number of trash bins on the curb for the first time. Maybe things are starting to change.

Have you observed any other path for new want-to-be developers other than boot camps that tends to yield better outcomes ?
I have to say I appreciate when folks like yourself explain the subtle flaws in very simple code.

It’s been really eye opening as I do security analysis of C++ projects how many foot guns are in a ton of codebases that now need so much scaffolding to handle properly, after they’ve done damage.

With Rust, my first pass is usually the right pass.

Sorry for misrepresenting. Are there free career fairs arranged by your school that companies can attend?
I think an issue self learners have is that they are often reading only. Without knowing the kanji you can't actually read anything. With furigana and the phonetic alphabets you can at least read them out loud but I think reading only is why you see people thinking they need to learn a bunch of kanji before doing anything else.

I agree with you though, you really benfit from the dense web of association you get from actually reading and hearing words in sentences. Much quicker path to practical fluency in my opinion, and you get the benefit of learning words in contexts you will actually use.
I mean, just the fact that they track your location would put their surveillance way ahead of Brave, no?
An ordinary house cat won't usually hunt rats, because they're too big. They hunt mice.

Listening to every episode of Darknet Diaries doesn't put my resume at the top of the stack???
The post title here should really be corrected. It's editorialized and is completely wrong.

There is no 'Android platform signing key'. Android is not a single OS provided by Google. It's an OS family. Each OEM has their own OS and keys, often per device or device family. Several non-Google OEMs either got tricked into signing malware or had at least one of these keys (platform key) compromised. The issue is clearly marked as a partner issue discovered by their program for reporting issues to partners (non-Google Android OEMs). Google detected it and that's why it's on a Google issue tracker. Platform signing key is used to sign app-based components in the OS which are able to receive platform signature permissions, including some quite privileged access. Any app can define signature permissions. Platform signing key is the one used by the highly privileged app-based components of the platform itself, such as the Settings app.

Platform key is only really meant to be used for first party code, normally all built with the OS but potentially updated outside it. It's not the verified boot key (avb key) or the key for signing over-the-air updates (releasekey by default but can be a dedicated key). There are also similar keys for several other groups of OS components with internal signature permissions (media, shared, etc.). All of these keys can be rotated, but aren't rotated in practice as part of the normal process of maintaining devices, partly because supporting phones for 5+ years is a recent development. The rotation that's done in practice is using a separate set of keys for each device / device family. For example, Google used new keys for each generation of Pixel phones and they currently use separate keys for separate device models although they've sometimes used the same keys for XL and non-XL variants in the same generation.

Even the verified boot key for the stock OS could be rotated by firmware updates since they're all shipped with OS updates and it's completely normal to do breaking changes requiring both new firmware and new OS. It'd require adding code to handle the rotation in several places (TEE and secure element pin it and use it as a bonus input for key derivation, which would need to continue using the old value) along with breaking anything pinning the hash for attestation. Only the SoC firmware signing key and firmware for other secondary components with the key burned into the hardware can't be rotated.
You and I both probably own some AAPL through an ETF. We should tell ourselves about the goose.

Only in your utopia do things work "as they should".

Private, for-profit schools and religious nuts teaching Noah's Ark as "history" ruin the fundamental tenants of public schooling: that everyone, regardless of socioeconomic background gets what everyone else gets.

Without maintaining that premise and spending equally per pupil, then it's the haves vs. the havenots.

Public school teachers get paid peanuts. My step sister is involved with special ed and is on food stamps.

I'm sorry, but your opinion is worse than invalid, it's dangerously ignorant.

If you see one person trip and fall on the stairs, you might say that this person needs to be more careful about where he puts his feet. If you see 10 people trip and fall on the stairs in the same exact spot, maybe you should start to question if there's a design flaw in the stairs.

This refrain about lacking motivation is something that I think all of us have been seeing more often: to the point where it shouldn't be primarily considered a "you" issue where better sleep/nutrition/etc might be the go-to recommendation, but a blaring alarm bell that something about society isn't really working well.
