I haven't quite achieved an ego death yet through meditation, but reading through a fair amount of psychedelic journeys suggests that eliminating the ego, while perhaps useful and enlightening in moderation, sort of defeats the point of living a life in this world. If the world really does exist simply to provide experiential distraction from the existential dread of being an absolute consciousness in the void (which is a big if), why be in such a rush to get back into that base state? Go experience all the wonders of the world, take risks, spread positivity.
Extensions are one thing, but I'd also welcome granular permissions to various JavaScript capabilities for every website. I don't like when some websites capture native browser hotkeys (CTRL+F), disable my right mouse button, change scrolling behavior or perform asynchronous HTTP requests. The only solution I found to protect against these practices is disabling JavaScript completely for given site, but more often than not it prevents the page from rendering altogether.
> just ask for more innocuous or plausible permissions than you need!

Looking at the list I think they're sorting by ~alarmingness, so it seems hard to push an alarming one below the fold with innocuous ones?
You're trying to chase down the horses after they've left the barn. There is no way the govt is going to be able to catch them all or even most. They don't remotely have the resources. The reward for fraud is some enormous sum.

It is 1000x better to drastically minimize the occurrences of, or prevent fraud, than try to catch everyone afterwards.
Not a fan of chrome but all I can say is "eww."

Awful idea.

On one hand it’s a bit slower on the other Google here hiring like crazy, Netflix opening up an office, Shopify acquiring whole companies…

To me it seems like big tech fires in the US then look for cheaper workforce elsewhere. Or maybe just a coincidence?

Anecdotally, I clearly remember when Chrome came out and it was _vastly_ more performant than any other browser, owed to its one-tab-one-process model. I tried it, enjoyed it so I switched from Firefox, and switched all my family from Firefox.
I think the government can catch nearly all token sale fraudsters. They leave mountains of evidence. It just requires putting in the resources to conduct the investigations and following through with laying charges and prosecuting the cases.

The government spends trillions of dollars each year. Any serious effort to track down and punish fraudsters can be fully funded. And the costs of enforcement will rapidly decline as the government establishes credibility that it will consistently punish fraud. IMHO, our society should show zero tolerance for predatory behavior.
It tends to release a lot of insurance money into the economy and a lot of work restoring things. Not good for inflation. A bunch of the mid/large (for NZ) tech sector companies tend to be a bit divorced from the NZ economy as many target a global audience, biggest factors tend to be the exchange rate/cost of living.
No disrespect, but in my opinion this is a deeply short sighted take.

In what way can millions of lines of auto generated additions of text to the internet, be suddenly and reliable expected to have all been somehow curated by humans?
Thank you. That was very interesting and answered all my questions.
> Not everyone can easily make international payments to the US

this has been a real problem in the past, but it's really just a problem with the banking system; bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies solve it pretty comprehensively

there's still the issue that, unless you're using lightning or something, you need to be able to pay the transaction fees, but those are almost always under US$1, and most people in the world can pay US$1
> That's so weird that layoffs have primarily been in the US, the most expensive labor market. It's almost like the layoffs aren't really out of any necessity in most cases but are just an attack on labor and labor costs.

I can give my CFO perspective on this having been through it from that position. It's not that you had that plan, but often when faced with questionable shift in business strategy, you look for the "low hanging fruit" and often just start with a number in mind, Eg. need to trim $x million of cost. From there, there may be complete teams or products that get cut (business decides to cut loss and divest of that product/service/etc), and/or at some point you often do sort by cost and make cuts towards the top first. There's usually a lot of conversations amongst management about which folks are mission critical and who is expendable (there's usually a middle bucket of folks that are neutral, "keep if we can").

This allows you to get to $x million by cutting the least number of headcount. Obviously, with hindsight, it would make more sense to just hire from lower-cost-of-living regions to begin with, but that assumes a level of planning that's rarely in place. Most hiring is done optimistically. For this reason, tech follows a boom/bust cycle just like the oil industry.
MS had to add content to the page then render that new content. That would count as a derivative work which would be covered by copyright.

Normally, when a user does this themselves, it isn't for commercial purposes which puts it in a different category (plus, the most popular modification involves stuff from loading onto a device rather than modifying the stuff that was loaded). This is far different in intent.
> It only asks for harmless permission, install it!

I see it asking for two very scary permissions, two somewhat scary permissions, and one annoying one?
IPv6 is such a pain in the ass to deploy that people developed IPv6 NAT. For more than a decade the protocols to delegate an IPv6 subnet to a customer at the edge were missing. With PPPoE the situation was basically that you'd get a dynamic /64 on the PPPoE link (what a waste) and then have to manually configure the local IPv6 subnet on the CPE. IPv6's failure was largely self inflicted by failing to make it easy for ISPs to implement.
One argument in favor of a 32-hour week is that better rested employees will be approximately as productive as if they worked 40 hours. (I believe that for creative work.)

Take that away by having them juggle a second job and employers might be better off to just leave the workweek at 40 hours.

"The monkey has become weak in his eyes in old age;

And she heard people

That this evil is not yet so big of a hand:

You just need to get glasses.

She got half a dozen glasses for herself;

Twirls his glasses this way and that:

Now he will press them to the crown, then he will string them on the tail,

Now he sniffs them, then he licks them;

The glasses don't work at all.

"Ugh abyss! - she says, - and that fool,

Who listens to all human lies:

Everything about Points was just lied to me;

And there is no use for hair in them.

The monkey is here with annoyance and sadness

O stone so sufficed them,

That only the spray sparkled."

The features mentioned in the article are available to extensions, and ungoogled-chromium supports these just as well.
Do you have any concrete recommendations beyond the obvious "fix the glaring permissions UI scroll box issue"? Are you advocating for browsers to remove these permissions altogether because you feel they're too dangerous? Are you lobbying for a shift towards use-site triggered permission requests like Safari does? It seems you understand the tale is whimsical but I fear some people view it much more seriously and want to start an extension witch hunt. It would be nice to see a concrete call to action so it would be more clear what your proposed solution is instead of just inciting a bunch of pitchforks with no clear goal.

The web will be awash in vast amounts of pure generated text. The LLMs are in an arms race with themselves. Enormous resources will be spent on AI that detects human vs AI data, to maintain the dataset for the next AI.
I’m one of those affected. It’s not particularly interesting to discuss if people are aware that stock can go down. No one is disputing that.

However, if the market pulls back X% on compensation, but Amazon pulls back Y% with Y > X, people are going to leave… and not the ones you want to leave.
I have been considering the Mac mini for DL/ML/AI work - seems Apple Neural Engine could be a good choice. But then again I'm not so sure.

but hm. I guess I don't know a lot about malware, phishing and stuff. How would you gain exactly?
The "average" user just knows "chrome is fast" because for the last 10 years, that's what they've heard. Even a lot of older people I talk to seem to use chrome. This is especially so for the younger generation.

There were a few years there of mainstream "I posted this from internet explorer" with a delayed piece of news or reaction.

I'm not a chrome fan either.
Eh, I don't think that's it. California lets you get your full, unlimited license as early as 17 (permit at 15.5, 6 months of permit, license with restrictions at 16, license without any restrictions after a year), and the restrictions before that are hardly "require a chaperone" level. But between my time and my (significantly younger) brother's time, the number of teenagers bothering to go through it all dropped off precipitously.
There is no company on earth with a larger privacy organization than Google.

1) they're taking advantage of market conditions to top grade
2) they need to protect partner payouts

Good points, unfortunately HN will blindly downvote anything crypto optimistic.
This is so cool. Could have terrible consequences but it's the most interesting thing I've seen this year by far
No, options are more of a gamble. Stock values move up and down, but an RSU worth something today will likely be worth something tomorrow: even much-pilloried Meta stock is down "only" 50% from peak at this point. An underwater option, though, is completely worthless.
You'd have to be pretty high on Amazon to bundle its risk with your only income. If you don't open yourself to getting double-screwed, you can use that risk somewhere else.

The article reads like a press release more than journalism.

Multiple uses of the word “sophisticated” as if the only way someone could gain access to Godaddy for _multiple years_ was if they are quite sophisticated, and not as a result of massive negligence on the part of Godaddy itself.

No quotes from the company apologizing.

What modern UI even has visible scroll bars by default?

And assuming it's even visible (either by default or user-configured after the fact if that's even possible), what modern UI even has scroll bars wider than 1px?
> wasn't the process but a bunch of dumb politics in the org. I'm not sure Agile/Scrum could've saved them from that.

In my experience agile/scrum just adds to the politics within the org. It’s a bloody religion. Agile adds in agile zealots vs the infidels.
>I don’t believe browser rendering is considered an act of publishing or distributing, is it?

If it were, I think this could cause big legal problems for ad-blockers. Of course, one big difference is that ad-blockers are usually installed by the user, and so explicitly have the user's permission to change browser rendering, whereas MS changing the rendering of competitor's web pages is not expected by the user nor were they given any permission for this.
In the last 4 years of operations in Latam we saw it a handful of times, all during the last 1.5 years of the Covid hiring mania. Mostly by big companies.

What’s telling is that we haven’t seen those offers since.

In fact we’ve seen rates negotiated down unfortunately.
I’m not sure why weekly status meetings lost favor.

Meet for 1hr every week as a team, and go over what everyone is working on and see how we’re progressing, and forecast where you should be by the next week.

The moment a developer feels they may not be able to deliver what was expected by next week’s status meeting, they share that with the team in whatever asynchronous communication tool your team uses, whether it’s chat, email, etc.

Regular problems and communications are raised in the same group chat/group email.

It doesn’t matter how small the daily standup is. It could be 5 minutes. But it’s a daily context switching exercise. I think it’s far better to have a single weekly, but longer meeting, so there’s only 1 context switch in the entire week.
Is that solving any real problem? Will any single person actually be protected by that annoyance? The permissions already appear roughly sorted by invasiveness. Is the sixth one really going to be the one that your install decision hinges on? I mean, once you have "Read and change all your data on websites" it's game over anyway if the extension is truly malicious.
Honestly, I felt the same way about several people I knew who made a small fortune off tech company stock. They weren't necessarily any more skilled than other devs I knew, but they lived in the right areas to get recruited and took the risk - and that's the nature of risk.
It costs 25$/month for 2TB, 5TB will cost about 50$/month I guess. 600$/year it costs more then my current setup and still requires a good throughput in the hotel, that is not real.
If you’re correct, the policy response will be a return to zero interest rate policies and QE, to guarantee that the rate of money creation prevents price deflation. This would result in a massive increase in the monetary price of goods such as real estate, stocks, and nfts. The benefits would primarily go to owners of these assets - whether the owners are public or private will vary from country to country.

Storj, filecoin, and IPFS are all attempts at this problem. They don't work particularly efficiently, though, in comparison with S3 or comparable storage systems. Storage is already a commodity service, so adding a whole load of cryptographic work to prove you're still available is not an optimal thing to add to that commodity.
NO. I find desktop systems to be more expandable, easier to upgrade and repair. Besides the battery on a desk bound laptop seems to deteriorate faster than when used as intended.

Eh, most teens are on their parents' insurance, and I observed this phenomena happening in an area affluent enough that you'd just inherit a parents' car when they wanted a new one (and likely used your getting a license as an excuse). Regardless, teens in my younger brother's years just aren't interested.
If it does then does that mean double trouble as it self-replicates, or will it consume itself leaving nothing remaining?
To be honest, those sound like really great numbers. The bar is 20%. Generally you can find right about 1 in 5 people that believe X, where X is anything you can think of. Anything around 20% or under isn't newsworthy at all.
During the pandemic I was regularly seeing $170k AUD ($116k usd) + super (10% pension contributions) + equity if available, fully remote or 1-2 days a week in the office for senior/staff/principal roles.

I’m now not actively looking but when I’ve had a quick browse on LinkedIn I’m seeing similar jobs now advertised at $140-150k. All now marked as “Hybrid” or must be in the office, remote has backtracked massively. Looking at the Hybrid definition a lot say 3-4 days in the office.

For senior / staff / principal roles I won’t look at them if less than $170k which is still a huge pay cut on my current role, admittedly I got lucky with.

Both are amazing and challenging reads. Rovelli and Deutsch follow different interpretations of quantum mechanics (many worlds vs relational quantum mechanics), which sends them to different questions and assumptions behind their thinking.
Oh yes it can. Project owners have sold out before--sometimes without telling anybody. The threat vector is the same. Something you trust gets sold to someone else and it abuses previously acquired trust. Open source doesn't actually fix this specific trust issue. And BTW your browser extension's source is available to peruse locally on your machine after you install it. Surely you did that, right?
> lurking on discord is easier than meeting up

Those two things aren't the same, and helps explain why young people are so miserable. We're meant to be social, you know, in real life.
The problem is that even Microsoft with their infinite resources has to play catch up.

They have to devote developer hours to removing Google-advantaging features instead of adding their own custom goodies.

And even if said goodies take off, they're going to have a hard time getting them merged back to "root Blink" and into the rest of the browser ecosystem.

My current employer doesn't do any stand ups at all. I've been there four months and not a single all-devs meeting. Sure we avoid degrading. But I've never been part of a team that's more dysfunction than this one.
I was thinking of the quote in the article from Justice Thomas, more than a statement about the political or ideological neutrality of the platform:

> “If it’s the same algorithm to present cooking videos to people who are interested in cooking and ISIS videos to people who are interested in ISIS, racing videos to people who are interested in racing, I think you’re going to have to explain more clearly if it’s neutral in that way how your claim is set apart from that,” Thomas told Schnapper.

I don't think it's just a matter of representing racing videos to people interested in racing. For example, I start with a video on police misconduct and before I realize it, I'm seeing videos telling me as a sovereign citizen I can can't be arrested ... because magic.
Any idea why the data doesn't get imported into OSM? Seems like local governments worldwide should be doing this.
It depends on when you signed the non-disparagement agreement.

> The decision involved severance agreements offered to furloughed employees that prohibited them from making statements that could disparage the employer and from disclosing the terms of the agreement itself.

Was the agreement part of getting hired? or getting laid off?

That said, I suspect that this will result in a reduction of severance agreements since there is very little that the company can gain out of a severance agreement now (I am assuming this also extends to various "you can't sue the company for wrongful termination" and similar).

>I don't understand why people are so confused about permissions.

I don't understand why people (read: devs) still assume permissions are read and understood.

The vast majority of people simply do not read nor understand permissions and just instantly hit the OK button. Even Linus from LinusTechTips doesn't read permissions, and he's even a tech guru unlike most people.
