for someone working in IT with a high income that is probably true to an extent, but then there are other issues to deal with. where i am now, i can afford the things as you say, but to get there i have to content with a higher crime rate, corruption, horrible traffic, bad public transport, power outages, water that i need to at least boil before i can drink it, low quality products unless i get imported products which cost twice as much as where they come from. it certainly meets the definition of getting uncomfortable...
There's a new Barnes and Noble nearby me (just opened last year) and it is like no other B&N I've seen. It's honestly a direct carbon copy of Amazon's physical book store. All of the shelves have books with the covers out (just like Amazon's store pioneered), not tightly packed spine to spine. This means the selection is much, much, much smaller. It's more like an airport book store and just has a handful of the best sellers (despite being a huge physical footprint of a store). Games, toys, and a huge coffee shop take up most of the space. You would never go here with a specific book in mind to find, unless it was a massive bestseller. It's interesting and I'm curious to see how it does, but it's definitely not a general bookstore anymore.

I think the point others are making is that you can make this accusation about most topics. Take the average, well-sourced Wikipedia article on a similar topic as an example. Choose it by random. You’ll find the same issue. Every subject has some amount of internal disagreements, controversies, and inaccuracies. There will always be more questions than answers.
I was on a flight recently where apparently one of the flight attendants just didn't show up. It seems that they were eventually able to grab someone from the airline who was flight attendant-certified or whatever (he was just in street clothes) so we were able to go. At least the gate agent kept us informed.

Ask HN: How can I prevent fraud while respecting customers' privacy?
As an ecommerce merchant, I want to protect my business from fraud while respecting customers privacy. However, the same tools our customers use for privacy (VPNs, Privacy Respecting Email Services, PO Boxes, etc) are the same tools used by fraudsters. What can I do to strike a balance between preventing fraud and respecting customers' privacy?

>Any book of Why We Sleep’s length is bound to contain some factual errors. Therefore, to avoid potential concerns about cherry-picking the few inaccuracies scattered throughout.

I'm opposed because I don't think it serves as a great arbiter. At best, it selects for logical/academic ability, whereas IMO the most important skill as engineer is pragmatic decision making and building an appropriate solution. In practice it just selects for people who have studied leetcode (and to a lesser extent, those who have a CS degree)

You use a technical challenge that resembles the work that the person would need to fulfil in the job. Perhaps creating a single view of a website/app for a frontend role. Or creating a few API endpoints for a backend role. Or whiteboarding through a technical architecture (with plenty of opportunity to ask clarifying questions).

Well, I read through most of the article, and felt like "well, this is work as intended". Except the "consider localhost for debugging" part, I don't see any bug anywhere, only UX choices.

In my understanding of TFA, every "trick" until "I can make silent calls" were explicitly made available by Google on purpose and could have been done without reverse engineering by using the standard smartphone Google app (except for wifi deauth -- but the resulting behavior of instantly making an AP is wanted by Google. I personally would have made this happen only on startup, not even for security reasons)

And well, that's the scary part I guess: that this system is so big, that Google can't control all the ins and outs of the various UX choices.

One thing I don't understand, is that Chromecast were historically famous for pairing over ultrasound, guaranteeing physical presence. And to this day, ultrasound support is still a hard requirement for all Google/Android devices for that feature. Has this been completely abandoned? Don't Chromecast <=> Google Home team discuss?
There are some prominent Marxist academics – just off the top of my head, Adolph L. Reed Jr (professor emeritus of political science at the University of Pennsylvania). Although he is probably one of the Marxist academics right-wingers are least likely to want to cancel, because he's actually very critical of the contemporary "social justice" left. Reed (who is African-American) attacks Black Lives Matter as making the fundamental mistake of viewing race-based oppression as more fundamental than class-based oppression, when in his view it is actually the other way around.

I was in the same boat and finally did an implementation just recently. Salesforce is a crazy beast. At it's heart is really just a CRM. A tool for tracking and nurturing customer relationships. Different businesses have very different kinds of relationships with customers if you're like a giant retailer vs something like selling industrial equipment to manufacturers so making a tool to cover all those cases is hard. Salesforce to me really feels like a UI-on-a-database kinda tool surrounded by a load of data manipulation tools. It's also rife with DSLs (Apex, derived from Java and two custom flavors of SQL). The big thing about Salesforce is just how big it is. It integrates with everything, they have a robust app marketplace and dozens of integration partners, they've acquired loads of complementary software companies like Exact Target, Tableau, Mulesoft and now Slack and Heroku. It's expensive has a ton of operational overhead but everyone in that domain knows what it does and how to use it.

You can have a non-computerized system that is more efficient. Apps can and do fail, and I'll go out on an unpopular limb and suggest that what most folks working in tech would still fail frequently enough to be problematic in an airline of this size.

The problem is that their disaster recovery plan (assuming that there is one) is highly centralized. Southwest has each and every body calling the scheduling department one at a time. The proper design (and what most other airlines actually do) is to decentralize a wee bit and have, for instance, crews report to station managers who in turn call the scheduling department.

> Either way, if you've had a fuel injected car you were still exposed to these issues.

I don't think unintended acceleration with cable operated throttles was ever much of an issue. The simpler EFI systems of the 80s and 90s were very robust with predictable failure modes. We've certainly bought a lot in terms of safety and efficiency with the newer designs, but their complexity also means problems can be more obscure and more likely to sneak their way to market.

Anecdote: My 01 Volvo had weird/dangerous intermittent acceleration, but had a fully computerized throttle. The software got confused by a failing throttle position sensor. The best fix is to replace it with a hall effect sensor that doesn't wear out.

Functional safety standards are performance based standards, which means they are shades of grey rather than prescriptive "follow these design clauses".

The designers get together and in a formal process try and come up with every possible adverse outcome and the probability it is likely to occur.

They then rank and use this info to assign performance requirements to various safety aspects and functions.

But a key part of the overarching parent IEC61508 standard is that there is a safety lifecycle - the designers make their best guess but the manufacturer has to at regular intervals compare actual gathered data against the predicted design data used and adjust accordingly, iterating to a better place.

Just like you might win the lottery first time you buy a ticket, under a performance based standard you might experience an adverse outcome in the first day of use, doesn't mean the design was necessarily deficient.

Infinite safety takes infinite cost, which would mean no cars, and what would the cost of that be to society.

Like I said,it's all shades of grey.
I am disappointed that the Anker 715 (Nano II 65W) cannot do 12V with PD, but for some reason it is not one of the standard PD voltages. I think it is capable of 12V with PPS, but I am not sure if the decoy cables support it. If you specifically need 12V with PD, make sure to check if your charger supports it.

> They lost experienced employees who were able to wrangle the bad scheduling software.

Employees could quit because they don't want to get vaccinated, but they also could have like just died from COVID too, or won the lottery, etc.

So to me this still points to the technology as something of a root cause. Your tech is as brittle as the number of people who know how to use it. Losing the people who make your sunk-cost old tech actually work, and not planning for the "bus factor' still makes it your fault for not addressing.

>The public mapping is the opposite of what your imagining. There's a public map of "addresses"->"names" for houses but that's irrelevant because we're talking about getting the home address for a given person.

This is wrong. You can search by last name in county CADs to get property addresses. As in, you can go "names"->"addresses" as well. Property ownership is public information.

Maybe they believe the way it is sometimes presented in TV dramas that a victim choosing not to “press charges” is actually a binding factor, rather than a complication in proof (and, in minor cases, a reduction in priority independent of the proof complication) for criminal prosecution.

> Edit: I wonder if they meant that they wanted Mango to just not cooperate with any criminal investigation.

Not necessarily, 'off the street' movie ideas do indeed sell.

And good ideas really are not worthless, though I agree 99% are just not good ideas. This industry would have you believe that ideas are nothing, because their business is funding idea development.

And the assumption is a web product. Of course it's difficult to gauge if a web product is going to work, and you should just try it because it's relatively easy. For real products, this doesn't apply so directly. In some ways it's easier to see if an idea is worth trying out or not, and since it's harder to actually test a real product idea, the idea better be good.

And I'm specifically talking about more than just an idea, particularly some product development and branding.
