Every time I think about leaving Germany I think about some small things we have that are really nice.

That said ... paying electronically is so convenient, damn it.
That's just an exercise though really. You NEED a smartphone nowadays for everyday life: banking, gym access, maps, etc.
Aw, I should at least get a participation badge for providing access to all my personal information via every hacked service I've ever signed up for.
Good stuff! Love free knowledge, it's important for all of us.

That's not really fingerprinting - it's just ensuring your login is consistent against the apps of a single vendor

I don't think Apple are aiming to change that with this
What about journalism?
A simple article on Chrome Unboxed suggests you can install Tor browser and have it work. I think there is less issues with TOR and more issues with you fundamentally not caring about privacy. Like most of the internet.
Cars are commodities though. Your business won’t be disturbed when you change your car. There’s basically no difference from the point of view of your customers. But when you use a managed ecommerce service and you want to migrate to another provider, your old links will stop working, order histories will be lost etc.
> I believe the message needs to be that anonymity is not only desirable but mandatory as well, especially because of the rise of platforms that literally track each and every possible metric about your daily life and habits

Normal people don’t care if their metrics are being tracked - that is happening to practically everybody all day every day, and very few people are experiencing any direct and measurable negative consequences. In their defence, why should they weigh the hypothetical-risk above the real-benefits of giving up privacy (ie, convenience and price)?

I believe if the message of privacy advocates is to have any effect at all on normal people, we really need to start focussing on things that normal people care about, not hypothetical and philosophical arguments
As someone on the other side, with open positions we're hiring for:

There are probably fewer job openings than there were, but I don't think my company or anyone in my network have changed HOW they're hiring, but we have definitely noticed a huge uptick in volume of applications. Earlier in the year, we were getting almost nothing. Now we're getting hundreds of resumes a week for each open position, and the bulk of each one of those resumes do not come close to even being in conversation range of the posted JD.

There's just a lot more to wade through from an HR and hiring perspective now, orders of magnitude more. It takes way more time/resources and is way more draining for the people involved.

I think my suggestion is, do what you can to stand out. Don't go overboard or anything, but if you're submitting your resume to an HR software or something, maybe try and find someone in the hiring chain on LinkedIn and email them directly either with your resume or just asking how its like to work there before you submit. Something like this.
Considering a sale/spinoff of what? HBO? That already happened last year.
Most people are already employed. Some of them will move if your place looks likely to be an improvement. Limiting your search to the currently available will cut the pool drastically.

It's really easy to write a job listing that will be ignored. It'll still get lots of noise but not so much signal. It's probably also important where you post it, especially if your website doesn't pull a lot of traffic to the careers page by itself.
>Their budget is so large they could build a custom chip with better performance for their VR headset.

No they couldn't. Unlike Apple, Meta doesn't ship enough headsets in such volumes that makes it economically viable to develop your own ARM SoC with GPU from scratch, with no guarantee that the resulting SoC would be superior to what you can already buy from QUALCOMM (there's a reason even Samsung & Google can't beat them), so it makes sense to buy COTS parts where you can and spend your money on VR R&D, polishing the UX and developing great SW instead.

Think of it this way, Apple didn't start developing SoCs from scratch for the original iPhone, but it was entirely built with COTS parts (Samsung ARM SoC) and all the R&D money went into great SW & UX. Only generations later they could afford to start rolling out custom HW parts.
Cynical take.

Bitcoin and crypto have a solid use case, whitewashing ill-gotten black money through money laundering.

The corrupt and the criminals have ties with crypto whales, and they will pump and dump accordingly.

If a individual investor/gambler is patient, it is possible that they could realize serious profits.

Is it ethical? No.

Is it human nature? Yes.
Endorsement is not the same as performance. I endorse peoples' right to use drugs or put obscene bumper stickers on their car. Doesn't mean I do the same.
Let's face it: People don't want to pay for the software they're using. They don't want to pay for their phone apps and they don't want to pay for the maintenance of their Linux Server stack. Even just installing security updates seems to be too much for many, let alone paying for their creation.

So what we get is bitrot, plain and simple.

The obvious alternative is to rent software. But now we have the offering party who doesn't want to pay for maintenance, either and, again, we end up with bitrot.

What we'd need is a way to visualize bitrot and have everyone regularly pay for a renovation.
Tens of thousands of developers around the world have contributed to the Linux kernel. Even Microsoft contributes.
That data means nothing without looking at the share of the distribution of each developer account.
Right, its maybe just a little less productive than something like Java because you do have to work out types a bit more and think about memory a bit more. The end benefit tends to be though that... your code compiles, and it just works. So maybe a little more time up front, for, potentially, less time down the road debugging.
This would be such a fantastic use of LLMs. Each step you listed to curtail your list could be done fairly easily using a specific model (prob classification oriented). I wonder if there's a market for something like this.
>as opposed to some bro watching anime and watching documentaries about sushi and samurai swords who feels they've "made an effort to learn the culture"

You've used this strawman previously in this thread; perhaps it would be better if you elucidated what elements of culture you're actually referring to.

>They don't want people merely having "made an effort to learn their culture" to immigrate in their country in any great numbers.

Who is "they"? I feel like you're ascribing very specific opinions to people who I suspect would be perfectly happy with law-abiding immigrants who don't hold parties at 3 a.m.

>They prefer people having grown into their culture - that is, their own people.

Is this even true? And to what degree? For example, there are cases of non-ethnically Japanese people who were born and raised in Japan, but still face challenges with discrimination, whereas immigrants of Japanese ancestry from America only seem to face issues with language. There's even a politician who immigrated to Japan and was elected by Japanese people: https://www.japan-zone.com/modern/tsurunen_marutei.shtml - in what way was someone who grew up in Japan preferred?

You may argue that these are minor examples and exceptions, but even one example is enough to show that these feelings are not based on logic or probability, but on mere gut feeling when one encounters someone different.

Cultural assimilation can happen to varying degrees and varying time frames with mixed results; the degree to which it is successful is also dependent on how accomodating or welcoming that particular culture is.

Hasn't Einstein been a sex symbol since he was fairly young?

Well. Until his death, of course. Nowadays he's probably only really attractive to a few very dedicated and specialized necro freaks.
A "parliament of owls", wow!
As someone who just bought 900 Pokémon cards at an unadvertised estate sale at a roadside Michigan blueberry stand, I can relate. We had just stopped by for blueberries.

I happen to see a couple unlabeled sheets of paper tacked up in a corner with grainy scans of cards.

I asked the old farmer if she has some for sale and she pulls out this massive binder of cards with many first edition and holo cards in very good condition… they were from her sister’s estate and she didn’t have time or interest to deal with them.
Samsung also makes quite a few phones with decent cameras.

Are you saying the SE2 specifically fills a hole in their line-up?
It's strange because economically, tech is roaring back and the job market is tight as ever.

Are employers hedging against this perpetually 6 month away recession? Is there a shift from growth mindset to value mindset?
Yeah I was going to say, if Tor is only 3x slower I'm switching right now. Last time I used it it was on the order of 20x slower.
They needed the same info to do clipping (on both the Mac and Windows).

I think it is more interesting that the pipeline was invalidaterect/region => getevent => event was a draw event => draw region (or part of it). The getevent would only generate draw events if nothing more important was going (keyboard/mouse input, timer, message from other app/desktop accessory). It would also prioritize top windows first so you would only get a draw event for a window at the bottom once the windows above had no more dirty areas.

If you really knew what you were doing, you could short circuit this a bit and draw in your windows outside of draw event handling.
I think its fed by people trying to get good jobs. On average, better companies have harder technical assessments.
Since you kept the same phone, that was probably DeviceCheck, which gives you 2 bits to store “fraud” related flags.

It used to. They have largely changed that now - all data is deleted once the last app from a given vendor has been deleted (though it's not instant, and seems to apply weirdly on TestFlight + ad-hoc builds)
... there is a back swipe gesture. And it works much more consistently than Android's "Where the heck is this gonna take me" back button. Every app you can swipe back, and it's a much nicer animation than Android.

The back button is a cudgel: a sign of a poorly designed UX. Apps aren't websites, the concept of "back" is not universal, so a universal button doesn't make sense. It only exists on Android because it started off as a non-touch OS.
I would observe that there’s a reason steakhouses are often a standard for customer dinners. They’re also usually at least so-so fish and vegetable options but nothing is too adventurous and they’re considered a safe upscale choice.
Is there any reason why anthropomorphic is needed for an enjoyable hobby? Get an Arduino, a couple of servos, make a claw that grips on things.
> “It was really disgusting to read they ask me to accept their EFF Pioneer award ‘on behalf of Sci-Hub’,” Elbakyan said in response two weeks before the awards were officially announced.

> “Why did not they want to give the award to me directly? Sci-Hub is my sole creation; it is not an organization and never had any team. In 1998 they awarded Torvalds, not Linux,” she added.

Definitely understandable, especially considering that the DOJ/FBI were investigating her directly.
Would you agree that the average hacker news user isn't the average app user? Most app users don't care at all if they don't have to pay.

I swipe right all the time from the left edge of the screen, in most apps that goes back.

This right here… when the government can just run exit nodes and case after case comes out about the government capturing data from a tor node they operated, that problem needs solved first.
Apple messaging lockin is having the desired impact. Combine that with Google's mess of a strategy and it is easy to see why this is happening.

It is why it is so critical to hire the right people in leadership to avoid squandering key, already successful, strategic positions.
When did we arrive at a point where terms like "junior" became derogatory terms similar to "idiot" or "asshole"? No, you don't have a "14 year junior engineer". You have a senior engineer who is difficult to work with and is (according to you) bad at their job.
Indeed.

> why isn't it a standard feature of SQL to just compare two tables?

Not enough people have complained about needing it (it doesn't hit the desired ROI for a PM to prioritize the feature request).

SQLite's SQL Diff I first came across years ago - super useful. It's the perfect example of the industries which pop up to fill in the gaps that huge software vendors like Microsoft leave open. I used to work at a company valued at hundreds of millions of dollars, which made nothing but such products filling gaps.

When do you think the market will start picking up?
The SE 2020 being extra cheap (and even the 2022 model if you look well enough) is only a product of the used market and the fact that that line of iPhones is often overlooked, so people selling them really lowball the price more often than not. Apple doesn't actually have a lot to do with it.

Were you around for the aftermath of 9/11? What about the crash of 2008? Both times were considerably more difficult for job hunters.
I've always felt that we should 5x-10x the salaries (Singapore style) of federal elected officials and cabinet secretaries but require them to divest their entire portfolio within 30 days of taking office and only hold securities issued by the US government, states, and localities.
Systemd has a mechanism[0] for configuring those limits.

I believe you can limit a unit to 1 vCPU and 256MB of memory by using something like the following:

[Service]

CPUQuota=100% # 100% of a core

MemoryLimit=256MB

Red Hat has some documentation[1] as well if the systemd stuff is too oblique.

Agree to disagree, but thanks for your time.
Well i converted my garage into an office, sound and thermal proofed it, layed out drywood walls and the structure needed, painted, did the flooring and underlaying too. Took me a week and a half. A fun project. But i do admit i forced my self to step out of the tech bubble and learn other skills a few years ago, just for myself. It was a really cool project. It can take longer when you have zero experience but once you build it up just a little bit it can go fast.

As an added bonus, i made sure my network cables running through the walls are 10 Gbe. Just in case :-)

I absolutely recommend to anyone working in tech that they try it.
Sounds cool, any youtube evidence?
Why would I edit it? Do you believe yourself to have supernatural powers of shaming or something?

You're the one that is dangerous, the one people should be worried to share a planet with. When your only principle is whether you feel something is a person or not, then nothing stops you from just suddenly no longer feeling the rest of us to be people.
I really don't. I exercise at home. I can just go to the bank, or if I have a balance inquiry, call them. They also have a desktop web application that I can use. The only one I really need on that list is maps, which my dumpy trash-heap will have.
This is a solid book, but there's one concept in it that has drastically changed how I lead and collaborate across teams.

The book describes 3 types of problems/areas: simple, complicated, and complex. The definitions of simple/complicated/complex has shifted for me a bit since I read it, but this is how I currently describe it:

Simple - the solution is clear and is fairly low risk

Complicated - the problem is well framed, but the solution isn't clear

Complex - the problem itself isn't really clear

This 3 tiered framing lends itself to so many useful structures and interactions. Junior/Senior/Staff scope of responsibility fits remarkably well. Sprint planning / Quarterly planning / Executive planning fits.

The biggest thing it has helped with is recognizing that a team needs space to explore complex problems. Those teams need to operate very differently from a standard product stream team and recognizing that need is such an important thing.
AT&T had bought Vyatta before selling it to it's current owner, but I know they used a REST API internally when deploying it for 5G Edge use cases. It looks like VyOS gained an API in 2019.

And class tends to also correlate with having traveled a lot which at least tracks with developing a more varied appetite for different foods.

Added: Per another comment, people can also be picky not with respect to not eating unusual foods but with respect to not eating mediocre food.
I very rarely use Tor because using Tor without being an exit node just slows it down for everyone else using it and running an exit node means CSAM passing through your router sooner or later which I find unacceptable. Most of my privacy needs are met by a commercial VPN.
I am planning to make the switch this year. As a long time Pixel user, Google's support of its own hardware has been subpar. My phone was only officially supported for 3 years.

They will increase support for new phones, probably because Apple does the same. It is too little, too late for me.

The intentions were not malicious, but they were poorly thought out. The way these coins either trend towards matching stock market trends or going to zero was inevitable based on their design.
Honestly, I think this is a bad idea in the long run. The EFF is the most vocal critic of DRM in the public sphere by far (the FSF barely registers).

Now the MPA and copyright holders can dismiss their testimony out of hand for being that group that gave an award to a copyright infringer. Not that the MPA or John Deere would’ve respected the EFF anyway, but I’m sure it’s going to be mentioned in future court cases as a way to discredit the arguments.
Yeah its tough. But something like 3 interviews a month (and tough to pass) is more what I’ve seen. With less experience. 1 in 6 months could be bad luck but Id wager he just isn’t applying to enough places.
Elbakyan is a legend and this award is richly deserved. In terms of democratizing knowledge, her achievement is on a par with Wikipedia.
I'm surprised FULL OUTER JOINs weren't discussed. Then I realized SQLite doesn't support them. Perhaps it should have been titled:

"How to Check 2 SQLite Tables Are the Same"

I think SQLite's great, but "fully featured SQL engine" is not one of them. More like "perfectly adequate SQL engine" in an astoundingly compact operating envelope.

Not had a smartphone or even a cell phone plan in years. I live in silicon valley and run a b2b company.

I manage bank accounts, travel a lot, keep up with friends, clients, and peers, etc etc, and get by fine with looking up directions before I leave with a paper map as a backup.

Turns out you actually do not NEED a phone. I have a very digitally connected lifestyle which makes it that much more important I be -disconnected- whenever a workstation screen is not in front of me so I can be -present- in whatever I am doing or with whomever I am doing it with.
Generally, almost nobody cares about IP infringement, but in the case of academic papers it's even worse. Even the authors and the peer reviewers of the work don't care about it 99% of the time. They don't see a single cent from the publication that's charging you $1000 per month to access their work.

Scihub saves you from finding the email address of one of the authors and waiting for a reply for your request for a copy of the paper.

I'd be surprised and disappointed if a party like the EFF would be against free access to scientific knowledge. That includes educational books on the Internet Archive.
The marginal tax rate is going to be quite a deterrent when you're working two jobs. 55%, and then an additional 25% VAT, and you're at about 67% tax.

In Sweden, it's difficult to get rich through salaried work. Startups, inheritance, and housing are the only avenues. As an example, during the 'housing bubble' years, there were some buzz around people earning more from the appreciation on their house than they did from work.

With that said, Sweden has a high dollar-millionaires-per-capita. When you already have money, Sweden is almost a tax haven. But they pulled up the ladder behind them for most of the population.

As I read the process, at this point they're primarily looking for "conversation starters" (my phrase, not theirs) in the form of presentations, as well as attendees to discuss at a number of in-person events this year (I'll be at the one at All Things Open in Raleigh NC in October). I think once they've got something a little more substantial to review, they'll have a more robust "public comment"-type process.

I'm sure you could also offer a meta-comment on the process itself.
