- multiple often contradicting css variables (esp. colors)

> YouTube clearly shares a lot of infrastructure with the rest of Google

That's the least of the problems. If there is the will to spinoff YouTube they can agree to rent that infrastructure and the people running it for, let's say, five years and see what happens next. No software will move, nobody will change desk or laptop. Paychecks will come from the same company. Then they'll gradually figure out if they want their own infrastructure in case the goals of the two companies get in the way of each other and YouTube has little leverage against Google.

> Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt appearing on CNBC once said "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."

It's always funny when Eric Schmidt says stuff like that.

I've shared it before but I'll inline this evergreen quote from a book called In The Plex: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27479152

> One day Denise Griffin got a call from Eric Schmidt’s assistant. “There’s this information about Eric in the indexes,” she told Griffin. “And we want it out.” In Griffin’s recollection, it dealt with donor information from a political campaign, exactly the type of public information that Google dedicated itself to making accessible. Griffin explained that it wasn’t Google policy to take things like that out of the index just because people didn’t want it there. Principles always make sense until it’s personal,” she says.

> Then in July 2005, a CNET reporter used Schmidt as an example of how much personal information Google search could expose. Though she used only information that anyone would see if they typed Schmidt’s name into his company’s search box, Schmidt was so furious that he blackballed the news organization for a year.

> “My personal view is that private information that is really private, you should be able to delete from history,” Schmidt once said. But that wasn’t Google’s policy...
I have to agree with this (except that I don't have experience with Framework.) I've used Linux since my teenage years, and I was recently interested in trying a MacOS.

I was always told it was just like Linux with a better UX. But this is not the case. It's frustrating how much MacOS is missing.

- Multiple desktops, but you can't move windows between them with keyboard shortcuts.

- Animations: Baked-in, long, IO-blocking, and they can't be disabled.

- Terminal: You need MacOS-specific terminal commands for various basic settings (such as adding a spacer to the dock). The default terminal is pretty bad, and you will want to download a third party one.

- Window management: Extremely basic and even worse than Windows. (No keyboard shortcuts, no tiling, etc.)

- Child windows (e.g. to open or save files) will *move the parent window* if (1) it's wider or taller than the parent window and (2) the parent window is near an edge. This is very funny but only the first time.

- Running applications downloaded from the internet is obtuse and time-consuming.

- Even the newer laptops with "fixed keyboards" have problems. (Every 2021 MBP I've tried has a bad capslock key. This is supposed to be by design.)

This is ignoring all the usual MacOS complaints. (XCode, no native Docker, bad coreutils, no volume sliders, no games, long system updates, can't use the machine while it updates, telemetry, OS speed tied to speed of telemetry calls, features are obtuse/obfuscated and lack affordances for discovery, bricking from user-accessible settings, etc.)

The benefit that the newest Apple laptops had are its battery, but that was ruined with the latest major update to MacOS.

I really really regret buying a MacOS laptop. (I have a 14" 2021 MBP.) I was naive, curious, and ignorant. A cautionary tale for anyone else who's happy in Linux land!

> What you really need here is a strongly isolated VM,

Simplify, don't use a VM.

Create an isolated network, hook your sacrificial machine up to it, have it install the package. Remotely kill it (network controlled power switch if needed). The machine's hard drive should be hooked up through a network controlled switch of some type. After the sacrificial machine is powered down, reroute the HD so it is connected to a machine that does forensics.

Now you have a clear "before" and "after" situation setup for analysis.

The sacrificial machine's network activity can be monitored by way of whatever switch/router it uses to connect to the Internet.
That’s exactly right. We, just another games and simulation studio, are implementing LLMs in several games and engines. For dialog systems, hero journeys, behavior trees and techart pipelines.

yes, SecurityManager was a poor implementation for many reasons, but it's definitely not "impossible" to sandbox downloaded code from the network while having it interact with other existing code, you can do it with typing alone

Ask HN: Does 'cheap' offshore (non-NA) talent exist?
Since the pandemic forced so many software developers to work remotely, it seems remote work has become much more accepted (though some companies are still fighting against it). For example, before the pandemic, my company wouldn't have thought of hiring contractors from agencies based in countries that would prohibit devs from coming into the office. But now we embrace it as part of our culture.

However, with so many embracing remote work, I think there are more global opportunities than ever before, and so available local talent is harder to come by, which means salaries are increasing at an arguably unsustainable pace. This is great for developers, but makes it harder for businesses to afford, thereby pushing some businesses to explore offshore/nearshore hiring.

Unfortunately, the challenge doesn't end there. For example, the cost of living for many Eastern European countries is many times less than in North America, yet the cost of hiring developers in these countries can be the same or more than what you might pay for local talent. I've recently reviewed a number of candidates from agencies based in Bulgaria, Poland, and Ukraine - all of which are looking for ~10k USD/month for mid-level developers (3-5 years experience). These rates kill the viability of outsourcing, leaving us right where we started.

Have you found talent in non-North American regions for an amount of any significant savings? Thanks for reading, I'm really curious to know your perspective/experience!

I share the same opinion. While ChatGPT might be a great showcase of LLM, its greatest achievement could be its ability to draw VCs attention and money to whatever idea as long as you stick a ".ai" domain next to it.
What's more baffling to me is that quite a few software engineers (or at least few that I know and appreciate) think that generative AI somehow suggest that AGI might be just around the corner or that it'll somehow be but an iteration over existing models when I fail to see why we should assume these two problems are of a similar order of magnitude.
Not single but I do not have children. I’ll admit that complicates things. From what I’ve seen from comments and US media, the US has a culture of woman rejecting men who don’t own cars, leading to this assumption in your comment?

This is not the case in Australia, especially with younger people mid 20s where not owning a car is usually associated with living in one of the expensive inner city trendy areas.
> There is plenty of government censorship happening in US as well. Entire books have been written on this subject

Interesting, can you cite any of these books? I don't believe they contradict my understand that censorship in China is so drastically different from the US that the comparison becomes dishonest.

> I think the idea that people living in a country understand their own lives worse than an outsider is beyond absurd. People can certainly understand whether they are happy with their lives and whether their quality of life is improving or not.

I didn't claim this, because normally I'd agree with you. I don't think I understand their lives better than they do. If someone says they're happy with their life, and I don't suspect duress. I'm happy to believe them. My claim was, in part because it's so hard to get reliable information inside from China given the extreme government censorship; that the opinions from the population about the quality shouldn't be given the normal amount of weight you'd give opinions about the government from a country that has strong protections and freedoms for the press. At best, they're under informed, and at worse they're misinformed. If you disagree, and believe they're perfectly informed, can you explain why there's so many articles, information, and evidence showing the CCP attempting to coverup information and events?

I like using keyboard shortcuts. It’s just that my 42 year old brain doesn’t have the ability to memorize so many of them. If Apple is going to give me a GUI, then that GUI shouldn’t behave in ways that surprise people who haven’t been using a Mac their entire lives.

Side rant: why doesn’t iOS let me close all apps without swiping up on them individually? Seems like an actually user-hostile design choice. And I say that as someone who plans to never use Android again.
This statement by the NTSB just a few days after the event is tripping me out:

“This was 100 percent preventable,” Jennifer L. Homendy, the board’s chairwoman, said at a news conference in Washington. “We call things accidents; there is no accident. Every single event that we investigate is preventable.”

what? who? how? what? where? why? who are you?

are you the NTSB?

i thought they took, like, _years_ to say anything, even preliminarily, about anything - but now they're out there talking like a georgia grand jury foreperson. what's going on?

i thought it was trippy, too, that the NTSB spokesperson used almost the exact title of this book I just checked out, and happens to be big-ish in the urban planning/transportation community:

https://www.amazon.com/There-Are-No-Accidents-Disaster_Who/d...

i'm guessing this announcement, the follow-up visit by DOT, was because Trump actually visited the disaster area.

maybe that's all there really is to it -- another disaster, one political side getting outplayed by the other side, so trying to make up for it as best as possible -- but the NTSB, making a general statement like _that_ -- it seems like it would be devastating for industry generally (meaning, the people who own the industries -- i.e. investors).

i dunno - hundreds or thousands of people die, and we have to wait years for a statement, but Trump visits and the machinery of government kicks into high gear.

what did i miss?

i guess, fortunately for the Democrats, most of their labor and related toxic deaths are outsourced to other countries.
Based on seeing what is in most shopping carts, most people are not even trying to control weight.

Starving one’s self is not necessary. Not buying ice cream, cookies, chips, added sugar foods, and beer is necessary. Do not eat out, and do not let unhealthy foods into the house. And do not shop while hungry.

The root cause is all that unhealthy stuff gives everyone a dopamine hit they want.

Living in an environment that discourages walking and physical activity in exchange for sitting in cars also does not help.

Meth is very addictive stuff. Not only does it give you a dopamine high, which directly excites the brain's reward system, but if you take too much, it can permanently damage dopamine receptors, enough that you'll never be the same as before.

(IIRC, it's a dopamine reuptake inhibitor that can also turn into a dopamine release agent at high doses. The release agent is the dangerous part.)

When I first started my ADHD medication (dextroamphetamine), I had a dopamine high for around a week, and that helped me understand why people get so addicted.

Maybe it's me personally, but with M1 / M2 Macs the quality of a product (hardware + software) is far ahead of anything I could get with GNU/Linux, unfortunately. macOS quality isn't as great as it was, but (from my most recent "coming home to M1 Mac" after 4 years on GNU/Linux) sound settings with various configurations including microphones, AirPods, external and internal speakers do work, and OS "automagically" remembers settings for each combination. External displays with different DPI just work (and, again OS does remember all display settings). AirDrop and AirPlay, Keychain and Notes sync (with OCR search) etc just work, not even speaking about famous Mac "instant DHCP". And, as a bonus, kernel upgrades don't randomly break GPU or WiFi drivers.

So, it's really great it works for you, but, sadly, for me a lot of things on macOS "just work", both essential and unessential, while in GNU/Linux many essential things "just won't work", even considering its much better developer experience.
Adding insult to injury is the fact that is that this wildly dangerous transportation system is also so incredibly expensive.

Compared to the thousands required to buy into using the car based transportation system, not to mention the ever increasing price of gas, the expense of using a bicycle for transportation is practically nil.

Unfortunately, as this article shows, cars are so incredibly dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists, that unless you're fortunate enough to live in a city where leaders have decided the the investment of safe protected cycling lanes is well worth it, cycling is rarely a safe and viable option.

Right. From the Ars article it seemed that it was Google employees looping in Google lawyers while communicating with each other, not Google employees looping in the lawyers while also talking with third parties. So more like if I and a colleague both go to legal to hold a conversation just to gain the benefit of their presence to call it privileged. But if the lawyer is just sitting there working through a book of sudoku puzzles, then it's probably not really a valid claim of privilege.

From the Ars article:

> In 2016, Google instructed employees to create artificial indicia of privilege for all written communications related to revenue-share agreements and Mobile Application Distribution Agreements (MADAs), the exclusionary agreements at the heart of this action. Google reiterated those instructions after the Department of Justice issued its first Civil Investigative Demand in the investigation preceding this case. The Court should, therefore, sanction Google for its deliberate and deceptive misuse of the attorney-client privilege and order the company to produce, unredacted, all emails between non-attorneys where included in-house counsel did not bother to reply, indicating that any request for legal advice was most likely a pretext.

Schmidt doesn't get shit for saying true things. He gets shit for being a rich hypocritical asshole. At the time he was spouting his holier-than-thou bullshit, he was colluding with other high-tech firms (Apple, et al.) to suppress workers' salaries, and he was actively hiding the evidence of doing so. It came out in court anyway and Google was part of a half-billion dollar settlement over the matter.

Eric Schmidt is not some misunderstood truth-sayer. He's a crook and a hypocrite and the things he says are received poorly because he's an elitist who's made his $25,000,000,000 fortune punching down.
It's because many kinds of lawsuits (not only the government's) can go into discovery and when you have 130k+ employees generating discoverable materials it becomes very costly to search and provide these for lawsuits. It's easier to set an auto-delete policy and attempt to avoid certain things from being available for it.

You aren't necessarily trying to hid conversations. You are trying to reduce the amount of content you have to search through during discovery.
Same for me with eliminating carbs; combining keto + IF is pretty effective and I've lost about half of the weight from ATH to where I want to be through it. IF is nice because it provides an "all or nothing, but not forever" restriction, and keto is a reasonable framework for food selectivity. Keeping enough protein for not losing muscle and overall ideal; I wish I'd done this when I was 16 and not when I was in my 40s.
