"Somewhere where I can put the minimum effort and still impress"

Get a Corporate job in a big old school industry/traditional company (e.g manufacturing) where you are just a number. Trick is to find a team where work is minimal. FAANG and startups are out

2nd best bet is to find a Mid sized small business where they don't have much IT but just about enough where you could become a key IC doing 9-5 with minimal pressure. Tech is not their main business.
I am not in a position to say why the original NeXT was so different in philosophical underpinnings than the Mac, but there are a few differences one can observe from the outside that may (and I only say may) have contributed to the final outcome:

1. When Jobs left Apple, he was barred from competing with them in the general computing/appliance market. NeXT when it launched was advertised as a product for higher education.

2. Jobs had to bootstrap a company from scratch into what was by then a much more sophisticated industry than existed when the Apple // or mac were launched. Building on top of Unix and Mach was way lower risk than trying to invent an entire operating system from the ground up when your interest was really in the user experience.

I haven't experienced much help in the research department. That might become a wild goose chase if you're not careful.

For creative writing (this isn't limited to stories!) or slightly more contextual boilerplate, I love it. I think of it like a slight upgrade to what I already do, to allow me to get to the steps that really matter, not this revolutionary new world people are imagining it to be.
New Hampshire and Vermont and Montana have murder and gun ownership rates that refute this. It’s a hard topic.
Yes, undoubtedly.

China got through the most difficult part of the pandemic, when there were no vaccines, without letting the virus spread.

Over 90% of the Chinese population was fully vaccinated before the zero-CoVID policy was dropped. The biggest failure was that the vaccination rate was lower among the elderly. That's a problem that affects the Chinese cultural sphere, including Taiwan and Singapore.
Answering stupid questions has already been thoroughly solved, and you don't need an AI trained on 500 GTX4090s to index a stupid question database. The problem with customer service is that the questions that aren't stupid are genuinely long-tail edge case issues, where an AI is very unlikely to solve the problem.

Point being, yes the LLM loves to make shit up. Lots of people dismiss it as a result. It's still bloody impressive, we just need to be aware of its limitations.

> But for whatever reason, a lot of US sellers have an aversion to int’l shipping.

For good reason. You could point to domestic USPS tracking information as proof of delivery (which occasionally worked in your favor) during PayPal disputes.

For international shipments, the tracking is lost as soon as the item crosses the border. Whether the item was delivered or not cannot be contested by the seller, who then has to pay out on 100% of claims brought against them.
If we're actually serious about this, we should get rid of roads altogether and replace them with rail tracks. That solves 95% of the automation problem anyway.
You'll need an app-specific cryptographic key to connect to the push service, unless that's changed. And you'll need some system for registering and de-registering push tokens (unless that's also changed).

Red Scare!
If someone attack me, for no apparent reason, acting in NON-regular ways even if APPARENTLY from the uniform seems to be an officer I have to defend myself, self defense it's clear.

SO perhaps it's just a matter of attitude to be Citizens vs crooks. In the described situation I'll do my best to avoid the spray, document, call the public denouncing an ongoing assault and once managed something like that act directly as needed against the assaulter who MIGHT seems officers BUT since they act not like an officer should they are now simply aggressors. This of course include as possible non lethal and lethal force as well, of course without much extra hesitation.
Until these 'chat engines' can understand what a fact is and isn't, they're mostly just glorified -supremely expensive- toys.

Is there any TV that doesnt require a sign in for apps?

Not that I think this is acceptable... and I've had a horrible experience with Samsung software in everything from laptops to fridges to tablets to an S9.
Yeah, people don't understand how dangerous motorcycles are. The fatality rate for motorcycles in the US is 23 per 100 million miles traveled. For cars that number is 0.7. Assuming you ride 4,000 miles per year for 40 years, that gives you a 4% chance of death. The chance of being crippled or receiving a brain injury is probably higher than that.

Actually the weight savings is irrelevant. The advantage is in the simplification of the cable assemblies! Did you know that just about every cable assembly in every car is made by hand‽ Hackaday wrote an article all about it:

https://hackaday.com/2022/07/27/the-surprisingly-manual-proc...

By having just one wire to transmit data and power to components in each zone it will be a significant cost savings. It also makes the various automotive engineer's jobs a lot easier.
No, actual human beings don't generally lie to your face like this about whole sets of facts. That would be pathological behavior.

They usually just say they don't know, or they think it might be X but they're not totally sure.

People sometimes lie when it's in their self interest for various reasons, e.g. where they were last night, or when writing an Op-Ed or on the campaign trail, but not just lying willy-nilly about regular facts when asked a normal question.
Like I always say. People. They ruin everything.
Show HN: SheetKeys – The Hacker's Spreadsheet
Hey folks, over the years my job role has skewed to using a code editor less and using spreadsheets more. Coming from Emacs and Vim, I wanted my Google Sheets usage to be more keyboard driven, so I made this extension. I've used it for several years and it's been a great quality of life improvement, so I'm releasing it today. Enjoy!

" just go to a start-up"

OP lacks motivation to do anything and wants to do "minimal work", "low stakes" and you are suggesting startups ? They will be found out in no time even if hired. With startups, there is no such thing as "minimal work". If anything, pressure will be more than FAANGs with much less benefits and comp.
I'm not from NYC, I'm from a smaller city in New York. I recently visited Harlem, and I was shocked by the number of delivery drivers zooming around on small motorcycles (scooters).

tongue in cheek: you know your city has reached a high standard of human development when everything is delivered to your apartment by a servant on a motorbike.

Having left a company that also rhymed with Frugal - this somewhat checks out. I do think smaller companies have more options for people to remain ICs somewhat longer. The catch is that ICs do somewhat more than write code.

A few months ago I was the engineer supporting a new ask from marketing, after listening to their requests and evaluating what tools we had I wrote exactly 0 lines of code and we launched on time and without issues in part because I figured out how to use the levers we'd build into existing systems to do what they needed. It's engineering work but not development work.

Outside FAANGs there's more focus on contributing to success than simply contributing LOC. (I left where I was in part because I felt I was penalized for finding efficient ways to do things rather than churning out LoC)
Reduce your workweek to 4 days per week, or even 3.

“Frugal” salary band should allow you to still live a comfortable life. Perhaps you will save a bit less. That’s ok, you want to leave anyway and you will earn less in any other place. You will also become ineligible for future promotions. What do you care, you want to leave anyway.

Now use that extra time to find your next thing. Do interviews, or bootstrap your own thing if that’s what motivates you. Be careful with IP and noncompetes.

All I'm saying is just that buying the components separately would probably be cheaper and result in a healthier meal.

But yeah you're right about many people not liking to cook due to lack of time or other reasons.

Well they wouldn't sell if people didn't buy it. I do see your point of course.
Bird Buddy – Heartbeat
> The reason they do it is because it's still cheaper and more efficient than the alternative. Even at their scale.

That's not the only reason. Consumer convenience can also be a factor why things are done in a certain way.

Status quo bias is also huge, especially since consumers will be more difficult to change than a handful of companies.

Also, new technology, such as cheaper and more accurate sensors, scales, printers, anti-theft tech, etc. may make something more feasible when it might not have been even a few months ago.

Finally, consumer preference and education are also important. Zero waste buying, for example, would require consumers to (a) recognize there is massive waste in their lives, (b) recognize alternative ways are possible, (c) be willing to change to the alternative way, which they might resist even if it's better. For most companies, the cost/risk of this education may not be worth it. But it's possible that there is far greater awareness among consumers about (a) and (b) today than ever before, so the costs are now feasible.
I guess what the grandparent means is that there is some good old "discrete logic" on top of the various sensor inputs that ultimately turns things like a detected red light into the car stopping.

But of course, as you say, that system does not consume actual raw (camera) sensor data, instead there are lots of intermediate networks that turn the camera images (and other sensors) into red lights, lane curvatures, objects, ... and those are all very vulnerable to making up things that aren't there or not seeing what is plain to see, with no one quite able to explain why.
C'mon it was in Texas
Yup, and nevermind that almost everyone is ignorant of the massive role of the US Navy in protecting global shipping lanes from piracy, which is why you can send a 40ft container from Shenzen to LA for something like $2000 and expect it to get here with 99.999% certainty. The piracy off of Africa was a short-lived phenomena - until they found out that forking around where the USN plays works out very badly for you.
suck it up; hoard that cash; buy a 10acre farm out mid west; start youtube channel; enjoy new life.

but seriously if you want to leave FAANG then just leave. there are many things one can do in life and maybe consider software might not be the thing you want to do. like if you didn’t need money and had housing. what would you do?

life is short and i did the sea change now life is so f’ing refreshing. wake up do work on the land. go fishing at night. do some computer stuff to make money but it isn’t my identity anymore.

bush/commune camping with a bunch of hippies i realised that having skills in computers is utterly useless skill in the world vs say knowing how to weld or lead a drum circle. computers are useful for business/making money but like if you wanna be useful in the world… what skills are relevant and in demand? not for money but for trade. go learn that stuff. you may just find your burnout problems magically melt away and a love for computers comes back (or not!)
No, but it does assume you already save a large portion of your paycheque. Suppose you make $400k as a senior SWE at FAANG, or maybe $250k after taxes. Now you move to a lower CoL area and make 30% less - so $280k (for argument's sake suppose taxes are the same, so you take home $175k).

Now supposing your CoL is halved, your CoL needs to have been $150k+ for this to be worth it. Since you lose $75k in pay, and need to make that up from the CoL difference. If you're single, chances are you weren't spending that much on food and housing, so you actually end up with less money. But if you're supporting a big family, you may well have been spending most of your money on necessities and the CoL reduction is worth it. (At least financially.)
Is installing a PWA one tap instead of two (it's two, for iOS native apps), on Android?
> Does the government have the right to destroy whatever it wants in the air?

Hashtag-its-complicated.

To a first approximation: no. The US scrambling a fighter to blast a plane full of people out of the sky would be a huge mess and incur significant lawsuits.

Refining the approximation: militaries accepts the burden of responsibility to protect their people from threats, including airborne threats. Airborne threats are already traveling with significant potential (and often kinetic) energies so they are default-threatening. So militaries have wide discretion to presume an aircraft with no transponder is hostile and respond appropriately. A lawsuit on that topic would land somewhere between "no compensation" and "Sorry kids; Uncle Sam had to blow up your project to protect mom and apple pie; here's the money for the cost of the mylar and radio parts."

At the boundary-limit of the responsibilities, you can find disasters like the tragedy of Korean Airlines (KAL) flight 007, where Soviet planes failed to establish contact with a commercial airliner and shot it out of the sky.
Well. Lemme try to explain. Starting with fingerprints, collecting them on an individual basis is not that difficult. From the handles of the shopping cart, for instance. Maybe better if they had been wiped clean beforehand by somebody, but since Covid many shops actually had their clerks, security doing that generally. So you'd just have to wait, and grab that one interesting cart, and take the prints off of it. By several means, there should be apps possible, for certain phones, with certain (flash)lights, doing that. Otherwise more conventional means are available. Still fast, with commonly available single use supplies.

Some fun thing from 2008 comes to mind, where people associated with the german Chaos Computer Club took the fingerprints of the Minister of the Interior from a glass, and published them :->

So this is really not that special.

More special, but not impossible would be the large scale gathering of fingerprints in shops, but again, that should be possible during scanning of the stuff you've put on the belt, and during scanning of the bills, for counterfeit checks.

Analyzing your genes from generally collecting particular matter raining out of your personal cloud may seem like science fiction now, but it's not that far around the corner.

OTOH, wiping them of some surface someone has seen you sneeze at is possible now. Just not that cheap.

Edit: Also https://www.spymuseum.org/exhibition-experiences/about-the-c... comes to mind.
Another thing I had experienced before was a document picture I used after downsizing to mandatory upload size had a character/number randomly changed (6 to b or d). Don't remember which exactly and had to convert the doc to PDF that managed it better.
First off, your statistic is wildly inaccurate. You’re citing the number of certified pilots, not the number of actively employed pilots, which is roughly 81k [0].

> Don't lump things together incorrectly then claim market share equals employment

It of course is going to vary by industry and job class, but overall it actually does correlate. As we’ve seen your analysis was off by ash order of magnitude for pilots.

>This is your opportunity to move more goalposts. I'm sure you can keep restricting classes from many industries, to airlines, to only the top one, to only pilots named Allen, and eventually you'll think you have a pilot without lots of places to work. But I suspect even then you'd fail to make the number of choices small.

Or perhaps I don’t want to have to go on a wild goose chase hunting down specific statistics on every industry.

I don't think it really matters if Hersh's story is correct in all the details, or if it was done in a completely different way. So I don't really understand the zeal which people have to poke holes in it. What matters is motive, means and opportunity and only a few nations, all in NATO, have all three. And no one in NATO is going to do anything like this without making sure they get approval from the US first. That's pretty much all you need to know.

What do you think the "very specific process" involved for the federal government waiving immunity to tort claims? I assume that is what you mean by "waive torts" which is a phrase that doesn't really make sense. Since it is "very specific", can you describe it?

I don't think we have a description of the Canada object that is suspected to be this balloon. The car-sized cylindrical object in Alaska could easily be a balloon if the shape was misreported. The octagonal object in Lake Huron trailing cables could have similarly misreported.

It is hard for fighter pilots to observe small objects passing by them at high speed. I also suspect that they will see balloon as interesting object when can't see the payload.

It's also the reason why you can't get most college textbooks as an ebook, because ereaders are deemed not compliant for the blind: https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/letters/colleague...

I don't understand anyway since screenreaders are a thing on computers and smartphones and you can load an ebook into either. Meanwhile a paper book either needs a very expensive braille copy or some kind of complicated electronic shit to read the book for you.

My guess is the publishers knew ebook piracy is a thing and bribed some officials to use the ADA line.

In the summer of 1997, I was sitting in the center of Amsterdam enjoying the sunshine on a warm bright afternoon. I saw a man wearing a wooly jumper walk up to a bike rack, pull out a pair of bolt cutters, snip a lock and ride away.

When I passed through Amsterdam for the first time I recall looking at the many bikes at the bike racks and thinking how old fashioned they all looked, I think it is still the same now.

It doesn’t need to be zero waste, increasing the volume of the containers is already a big reduction of packaging.
There is no signaling mechanism to indicate their cost to the consumer.

Your entire block might switch to zero waste and would likely see no reduction in their property taxes (any reduction would probably simply reduce the local government's deficit).

In the UK if a radio device is 'inherently incapable of transmission', you do not
need a licence to install or use it. A scanner is very much that.

It is legal to use a scanner in the UK as long as it is clear from the context that the message being listened to was intended for general reception. There are many circumstances in aviation where this could be the case.
