And that is not explicit consent.

Explicit consent needs to be standalone and refusing it cannot stop the user from doing anything that doesn't actually really require said consent.
If the meeting attendees are laid out in a grid presumably it could tell when you’re looking at a specific person. Ideally it’d only send the corrected stream to the person being looked at.

This is a very oligopolized market, with huge barriers to entry, and exactly 3 remaining large players.

Being #4 is not "no big deal", but it's also around the minimum expected result from spending $10 billions on that market.
Even if you end up not making a profession out of it, knowing how to wire stuff up in your home will end up saving you a lot of money and time.
Point one and two are good, I wasnt aware they had as many preorders almost as the last 3 years combined of f-150 sales, but sooner or later they are going to need to sell to people that don't actually care what kind of powerplant is under the hood to grow their market share and overtake ford nationally.

Yeah that’s the problem the unions have a conflict of interest and aren’t training enough. States like California need to just bypass the unions and train up cohorts of trades people, but our elected representatives are married to the unions so this isn’t likely to happen promptly.
How about I change it to another Leonardo DiCaprio movie without that connotation - "Catch me if you can?"
I wouldn't prematurely leave on the basis of AI, if it does happen you('re friend) can retrain there and then. Chances are there will be all sorts of jobs still requiring technical knowledge when that time comes, if it comes.

If it's an interest you('re friend) has then why not take a couple evening classes to slowly get the foundational skills & ensure you have enough of savings to make that jump in the future if needed?

Fwiw, I live in the Bay Area and one of the best paid people I know is an electrician - he can pull in $1k a day on some jobs - so the upside is there too.

I'm the opposite, plenty ideas and I know I can achieve them but picking stack gets me paralysed...
Huh. Well damn, so they did. The acquisition didn't hit my radar till the name change.

Admittedly not a Linode customer. DigitalOcean did me a solid about 5 years ago (support gave me a credit voucher to cover a month when I couldn't afford to renew in time to keep things online) and I've had no reason to look elsewhere. Fingers crossed their recent corner cutting doesn't ruin things.
Any cursory glance at their funding streams makes it pretty obvious how the underlying business incentives express themselves.

This isn't an "all companies are bad" argument, it's a "duh, that's how business works" argument. If your founding team is full of VCs and they decide they need to pay top wages using other VCs' money, well, maybe you can take it from there.

We have an electrician friend in Vancouver but he barely makes ends meet.
No, my point was that the examples given are not free of significant problems - which generally seem to emerge at scale. I'm an admirer of all the projects named (also OpenAI) in principle, despite their flaws.
I'm interested in the explanation for this:

So glad to be done with LastPass. Anyone who thinks this won’t happen again is lying to theirselves.
I know a couple (so, n=2) of highly-skilled tech people who made the jump to being an electrician. They actually progressed rapidly. Neither regret making the jump.

One downside: they get pulled into more low voltage/systems work and they hate that part of the job as they wanted to get away from computers.

Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to help me.

I just checked my profile and show-dead was already enabled.

Thoughts?
My cousin was an electrician for a number of years, but gave up because he said it was too hard on his body; particularly his hands. He's now a welder. Don't know how much that's particular to his body / the kind of work he was doing.
sorry for the late reply, but I didn't mention naturality. that would be far too vague. deadly nightshade is natural. bull sharks are natural. ebola is natural. et cetera.

additives is still a bit vague, but at least that generally fits what I'm aiming for. if it wouldn't be in the food if you made it at home, then that's an additive. no need for "natural" to come into it

libdivide tl;dr:

> libdivide allows you to replace expensive integer divides with comparatively cheap multiplication and bitshifts. Compilers usually do this, but only when the divisor is known at compile time. libdivide allows you to take advantage of it at runtime. The result is that integer division can become faster - a lot faster. [...] divide SIMD vectors by runtime constants, [1]

> libdivide.h is a header-only C/C++ library for optimizing integer division. Integer division is one of the slowest instructions on most CPUs e.g. on current x64 CPUs a 64-bit integer division has a latency of up to 90 clock cycles whereas a multiplication has a latency of only 3 clock cycles. libdivide allows you to replace expensive integer divsion instructions by a sequence of shift, add and multiply instructions that will calculate the integer division much faster.

> On current CPUs you can get a speedup of up to 10x for 64-bit integer division and a speedup of up to to 5x for 32-bit integer division when using libdivide. libdivide also supports SSE2, AVX2 and AVX512 vector division which provides an even larger speedup. You can test how much speedup you can achieve on your CPU using the benchmark program.[2]

I never get surprised when I see perfectly resonable posts getting downvoted on HN. No lack of pompous snobs on here getting offended by honesty.
as a customer for nearly twenty years (!), I think this is actually the first time they've ever raised prices. I'd been meaning to move away ever since Akamai bought them but I guess this is a good nudge.
Welp, time to move the first piece of my infrastructure (and the only piece currently hosted on Linode) to a different provider. It has been almost 9 years now I think with the prices remaining basically the same. I started in 2014 with a Linode 1024 and now have a Linode 2GB (all through free upgrades, I believe the disk and ram have been doubled since I bought it). But now there seems to be no real reason to stay with Linode.

I guess I might as well update my methods too and automate some of this while I'm at it.
Godot is one of those pinnacle FOSS projects that just totally impresses me, especially given the state its in now, with 4.0. It's so cool that a loose community of "The People" have created things like Godot, OBS, and Blender. What a time to be alive.
OMG, its like you're speaking right to me! :-)

I have a multi-decade career, and for like the first decade or decade and a half or so, i tried to stay as long as reasonably possible at whatever big compoany i worked for....being raised to think that loyalty, and working a long number of years at the same employer was a sort of weird badge of honor. I got hit by bureacratic BS/blocks on such a constant basis, and then got hit by my first layoff...then i thought: "oh man, its me, i'm the problem, maybe i'm not as good as i thought, etc." Then I got yet another corporate job....and then another layoff...which by the way both layoffs were to due to re-orgs, and impoacted many people, and not specific to my performance. But, you know, the ego and heart gets hit hard.

So, i tried 1 year (during the middle of the pandemic) to work for a non-profit...thinking that maybe i can use my passion and people and tech skills for some good causes...Nope, never again! The sample size is of course so small (I only worked for a single non-profit), but i encountered the same corporate blocks as in the for-profit world, but with a vastly reduced paycheck. I still love my peers in the non-profiut, and while i was there i actually made a difference in thousands of people's lives, as well as gaining accoloades from IRS for a model and taxpayer experidnc e that i developed foir some web potals that i lead the dev. for. And, i still very much believe in what the non-profit where i worked does...But wow was the org. crazy disfunctional! Anyway, over the last couple of years since then, i keep jumping from one big company to another....and after all these decades i feel i have more passion than ever before for the tech and the problem spaces! ...BUT...now i have less patience for corporate buracratic BS/blocks...so i jump more often nowadays; which i dont like doing. Maybe i will try small, for-profit firms and see how things go....but, man, corporations really do know how to hamper those among us who have the passion, drive, and technical chops to really make a difference. Passion and competency - at least at the big boys/girls where i worked - seem to count for nothing nowadays.

Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dnsroot/

Email: je@h4x.club

Hey folks, I'm looking for a new mission to go on.

Started my career at DeviantART building the community. I was the head of devrel and strategy at DigitalOcean from 10 to 200 employees, and later worked on smart cities. Industry agnostic, however, most of my experience is in selling software (developer tools/GovTech). I'm curious to learn more about venture capital and am always happy to work around helping founders.

I'm well versed in go-to-market, marketing and strategy. I'm also very open to exploring something along the lines of a Chief of Staff/Biz Ops.

Although the company size doesn't particularly matter to me: I enjoy early-stage startups. I love building! :)

I'm happy to relocate for the right opportunity, although remote would be ideal. Canada, the USA, or South Korea are all possibilities. Canada, UK, and South Korea would not require any visas as I'm legally allowed to work in these countries already.

Thanks!
Possible. Coding as we know it might get obsolete. And it is a trillion dollar industry.
Yes, being an electrician is a great field to be in! At minimum, you can expect to make $68k/yr with a Journeyman Electrician license and north of $100k+/yr with a Master Electrician license. If you further specialized in something like HVAC and had your own business handling commercial accounts, you can easily do revenues around $3MM/yr if not more.
Only software industry is so welcoming to unqualified people. In other technical professions even as "simple" as electrician or carpenter without solid apprenticeship started at young age, you'll never make money after switching in later age.
A side effect of this that people don't consider is not only is the infrastructure not able to handle everyone electrifying their cars, stoves, heat, etc. but that millions and millions of homes don't have enough amperage to support it. Most homes built before the 1980's have 100A service. Most before 1950 had 50A and many still do.

If you consider that charging a couple vehicles while running electric AC/heat and using your 30A induction stove isn't even possible on millions of properties, you begin to see some of the issues. Consider it costs many thousands to upgrade a house and we have a problem. The biggest problem being just who is going to upgrade these homes.

And even if you can there's a greta chance they don't have space in their panel or that they will need a special circuit added to support things. This needs an electrician and costs significant money.

Solvable problem, but people who just say "make it all electric" don't even consider this.
I've never used BeeRef or PureRef but if you're on the latest version of OS X and don't need cross platform compatibility, Apple's new app Freeform seems to overlap in functionality with Bee/PureRef quite a bit.
Have the server specs changed? If not, then I’d expect it to get cheaper, just like the hardware.

Edit: other comments imply they’ve been improving the provided specs, so my comment might not be relevant.

> We want to help slow down the fire-hose of vulnerability reports coming from the security to devs.

Would be interested to hear more strategy here -- in my experience, the only way to actually lift this dev burden is to make upgrading dependencies something that's expected, routine, and near-automatic.
You might be projecting or evincing a limited life experience. Where I live, there is no shame in being a blue collar worker. If anything, I've experienced more discrimination and hate from being a software engineer than my tradespeople friends have experienced from their jobs.
I mean, it's a reasonable career choice.

Practical downsides: considerably lower pay right now compared to a job at FAANG, although certainly nothing to sneeze at. A profession regulated far more than necessary, similarly to many other blue collar fields - for example in California, you need 8,000 hours of apprenticeship to get a license. You are also technically required to deal with municipal bureaucracies and get sign-offs on almost every single thing you do, although most electricians follow these rules rather liberally, and there's a ton of unpermitted work in every older house.

You're less vulnerable to AI, but you sure are vulnerable to downturns in construction.

You serve at the pleasure of your clients. You're gonna be getting emergency calls at weird hours and you're gonna be spending a lot of time in your car.

It's physical labor - you're gonna be spending some time in crawl spaces or other uncomfortable positions, it's rough on your hands, etc.
I'm not sure there are many plumbers making $300k/yr?
...if we're lucky. I fear that instead, we will be enslaved.

We're poorly organized, limited in the scope of our understanding, slow, tribal, limited by many things that when the machines gain sentience, they won't be limited by.

The more we resist the idea that machines can have sentience, the more likely we'll miss it when it happens, and get completely blindsided by suddenly being the second smartest class of entity on the planet.
It's very surprising to me that elaborative explanation, summarizing, and self-explanation score lower than practice tests. I've found that trying to teach something to somebody else is the fastest way for me to determine if I really understand something.

For most, the EVs coming out of Chevy, Ford, VW, Kia/Hyundai, etc are more than enough, especially if they can go down to a dealership today and drive home with one. Even more so when most dealerships have financing options that can reach customers that the boutiques can't.

>I am not a doctor. I am not a lawyer. I am not a particle physicist. I am not a psychiatrist.

I AM a doctor (neurosurgical anesthesiologist, retired), but none of the other three.
I think generally yes, it's a worthy jump, but one reason why not - these types of jobs can take a serious toll on your body.

This can be mitigated of course, just like how a desk worker can mitigate the risks of sitting for so many hours a day, but it may be harder to mitigate for a trades job.
Pretty sure people would also like an electric Honda Civic (they don't even have a plugin-hybrid, just a efficient Accord and CR-V) or anything else that feels reliable and is priced similarly to ICE.
I found this article BLS article on the definition of a labor shortage interesting:

https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/1999/03/art2full.pdf

The definition they settled on is "when the number of workers available (the supply) increases less rapidly than the number demanded at the salaries paid in the recent past".

According to this graph:

https://www.careerwatch.co/blog/electrician

Wages have gone up about 1.9% over the last 20 years which is just under inflation. That leads me to believe that there may not be a severe shortage. Are they just talking about this year? In which case I think every industry has claimed a shortage.
> There's a point in the chart of real ecological outcomes where holding onto an older car is far more "eco-friendly" than buying a Tesla.

Cash for Clunkers has long been derided for the same reasons. Sure some real lemons got turned in and destroyed, but so did a lot of perfectly serviceable older vehicles. Used car prices are still elevated thanks to that.
>There is no nuance on social media.

Below is a perfect example of a social media comment that is completely lacking in nuance:

>Anybody who brings this up then gets branded as someone who wants all the gays sent concentration camps.

It is quite clear from your comment here that nuance isn't really your thing. Don't be intellectually dishonest.
Electricians are a skilled trade. Not only are there not enough, many of them are older. As they retire there aren't as many becoming electricians as there are leaving.

If we want more electricians we need to embrace skilled trades as a positive path.

Some details for the US are at https://www.bls.gov/ooh/construction-and-extraction/electric.... Note, the average income is higher than the average income per person in the US.
Against Self Criticism
Isn't 1k a day like, even if it was every day, an entry level tech job in the bay area? Surely you know some people who are making 400k+ in the bay area.
That really depends on what you mean by "tech worker" but moving from knowledge work to trade work rarely works out unless you're already a master craftsman and just switching to an artisan business full time. The salaries are significantly lower, to the point where 90th percentile electricians often make less than 10th percentile engineers [1]. It is a physically demanding job that will lead to health issues and is no more immune to psychologically abusive management than tech with added life-or-death liability.

Don't confuse owning a business that hires its electricians to customers with actually being an electrician. The former is very lucrative, the latter much less so. It takes many brutal years to get from the latter to the former.

[1] As opposed to QA, customer service, etc, which are more comparable hence the "tech worker" caveat
> This was accomplished by targeting the DevOps engineer’s home computer and exploiting a vulnerable third-party media software package, which enabled remote code execution capability and allowed the threat actor to implant keylogger malware. The threat actor was able to capture the employee’s master password as it was entered, after the employee authenticated with MFA, and gain access to the DevOps engineer’s LastPass corporate vault.

Your corporate vault, with all of your database keys, was stored and accessed from someone's personal computer?

> We assisted the DevOps Engineer with hardening the security of their home network and personal resources.

And even after this incident, you let them keep using a personal computer???

This really just reflects incredibly poorly on LastPass's internal security team. I was under considerably more robust endpoint protection policies as a random intern at a legacy Fortune 500.
