To be honest with you, my whole point is not even missing out on a marketing opportunity. It's way more banal than that. It's more like routing to a specific experience on first app launch based on where you came from on the web.
Lol, ok. I don't even bother to list anything on my resume over 10 years old.
Everything in this space is so muddled. Deleting the last app from a vendor should erase that data. On the other hand, if you restore your phone from another device, that should never require relogging into anything.
I disagree, microservices at their core were not a good idea, they were missing the forest from the trees.

Micro services are an attempted solution for having highly bespoke infrastructure that required difficult, long, manual, fragile deployments that were high risk, and thus didn’t happen often and delayed business value. The problem was that they saw that issue and thought it was monolithic applications, not just having bad infrastructure. 99% of the benefits of devops with almost none of the drawbacks are done by having all of the standard dev ops stuff like Cicd, containers, software defined infra, etc and just doing it on the normal monolith.

Eventually you do need to break things up, but the micro services single functionality, single team per service type of micro services goes way to far and harms more than it helps.
To be honest I only really need the virtual number, to redirect to arbitrary phones. The stuff Google never bothered to export to these godforsaken European colonies.

To me it was an indicator when they announced "full self-driving" by using the word "full."

That qualifier sort of suggested a band-aid in terms of branding. They already marketed autopilot and they needed to clarify that the feature was not actual self-driving. Sketchy.
> They've also started doing instant discounts at the register, which was something that Safeway aggressively did from the beginning. FM isn't quite that aggressive yet, but when I scan the shopper card just before paying, it isn't unusual for it to knock $20-30 off a $150 purchase.

It's a shitty psychological trick that Fred Meyer pulled off.

People think shopper cards save money, and while it's technically true, it's the wrong framing of what's happening. What's really happening is that the store requires the card to get sale prices.

In other words, Fred Meyer creating the shopper card did not create additional savings. It just started gatekeeping sales behind data collection.
Still, I would have loved to work at Parc during their heyday. It was a career goal at the very start of my career.
As an app user, it is infuriating to me it is even possible to do that.
By the time that happens the person who gets to tout the savings on their resume has already leveraged that for a salary bump somewhere else.

It's an unfortunate reality that if you're employed (not a founder) and you think more than a year or so out, you are going to be outcompeted by people who optimize for short term gain and leave before the bill comes due.
Emissions in developing are rising being they are starting from a much lower baseline. We can't expect them to just stay poor forever for the our benefit.

If rich countries set an example of how to have a high standard of living without massive per capita pollution, the rest of the world will follow that.
If you must apply via online job applications, definitely change your resume to include as many of the keywords in the job description as you can, while still being truthful. If you don't, the first-level automated filtering will screen you out of the group moving on to the HR department. This is a huge amount of work, but even a little bit of an edge can help.

That said, DON'T go through online applications if you can avoid it. Many of the jobs I (and others around me) have gotten are through their personal network.

Develop your personal network now. Question: When is the best time to plant a tree if you want to enjoy it? Answer: 20 years ago. When is the second best time to plant a tree? Today.

1. Connect to everyone you know personally or have ever worked with on LinkedIn, and use the "Send a note" function to give them a reason to remember you, and say you'd like to add them to your network. Once you've got a decent number of connections (at least a few hundred?), post a "looking for work" type of message with your skills, experience, and interests. Be sincere and not "network-y". Do it with the intention that they might be able to help you now, but you may be able to help them in the future.

2. Reach out to friends and coworkers that you had a closer relationship with, and let them know that you're looking for work in a particular area or field, and do they know of anything available (or companies that fit your area). Friends and ex-coworkers are the best because they can get you right into the HR department or the hiring manager.

3. Do not discount the many people on LinkedIn who currently or recently worked at a company that you are considering applying to (but that you don't know). Sign up for the paid LinkedIn service for a month, and use the ability of paid users to email anyone, to reach out to people who might be in the department of the company that you are looking at. You'd be amazed what information or help you can get from total strangers, just by sending them a nice note explaining that you're looking at the company/department and would like to speak to them for a few minutes to get an idea of the company culture. This is scary for many people (a younger myself included), but I've done it and it works. Most people will give you a few minutes to talk to you. And you could get valuable information about the team/department/manager, that could help you present the side of you that works best in their culture (laid back, hard-charging, early-risers, dog-friendly, tabs not spaces, etc.).

Good luck with the search!
Thanks for your thoughts. I am medicated.
>I’ve interviewed for exactly one job

I hear this every so often, but do you mean that literally? It's so far outside my reality I can't believe it still happens.

I've never seen anyone get a job at an established company without SOME kind of interview. Even Guido van Rossum (creator of Python) has needed to do some interviews when changing companies.

Even if they are the hiring manager at a new company I've never seen them be able to completely bypass the HR process in that way.
Exactly. If you have two absolutely duplicate rows in a table, you're going to have problems with a lot of your queries. It's usually an indication that you are lacking a unique constraint or have a bug somewhere.
"Plan" is a weak verb.

E.g. - I _plan_ to marry Ariane Grande.

According to Tor Project, v2 onion services were "fundamentally insecure" [1]. It sucks that you lost your URL, but wasn't redirection an option?

I got my first job by walking in. It was at a medical center, and I just asked the receptionist for the IT department. Got routed all over the med center. When I got to IT I found the telecom manager was way over worked and needed help, but had no time to search. So he interviewed and hired me on the spot. This was in 2007.

I wouldn’t do that today, you won’t get past security at most places. It does happen, though.

I think you should instead just read what Worldcoin wrote. It's quite short, and I think easy to consider false.

https://worldcoin.org/cofounder-letter

There are a few words about economic opportunity but little explanation, so you can discount that part. They don't seem to believe it beyond UBI distribution, which has the same problems as any distribution today[1]

Their main sell:

> scale a reliable solution for distinguishing humans from AI online while preserving privacy

> Worldcoin consists of a privacy-preserving digital identity (World ID)

> You can now download World App... After visiting an Orb ... you will receive a World ID. This lets you prove you are a real and unique person online while remaining completely private.

This seems to be the sole feature but "distinguish" and "privacy" are fundamentally at odds. Always! If you can identify a person, in any way, they are no longer private. They may be private for a little while, but as soon as User12345 is outed to be Taylor Swift, there's no going back. There's no worldcoin re-roll. Twitter accounts are more anonymous than that - at least if your anon twitter account is unveiled, you can make a new one! In that way uniqueness is anti-privacy. It has to be.

[1] For example worldcoin has a plan to confirm that people exist. It does not have a plan to confirm that people are dead. https://japantoday.com/category/crime/man-says-he-kept-paren...
Its annoying as hell, because iMessage isn't really useful when most of the people I write to don't have an iPhone.

100% I blame Google though, they need to get their ass together and make their own. It needs to work with everbody who already have a google account and they need to commit to it for 10 year minimum.

Then it is reasonable for Apple to create a system so they can talk together.
It’s not politically incorrect. It’s idiotic. Any “solution” that ignores human behavior ain’t a solution.

Sex is literally why we’re alive. It’s what we’re evolved to do. Creatures without strong sex drives don’t multiply as quickly, or go extinct.

Our family is trying our best to cut down on consumption habits, from growing our own food to generally trying to be less wasteful of gas, electricity, etc., but it is difficult: we grew up in these conditions and "cutting the cord" is a tough thing to do.

You might want to reach for some application which serves some unique functionality without having to leave your keyboard and grabbing your phone.

Probably there are also people who'd like to get rid of their smartphone entirely so this pose as a solution to the ever growing dependency on such devices, be it exclusive bank or other apps, some forms of verification and others.

Admittedly I didn't look into it much but I assume we're talking about physical devices, which likely holds true by the cost of the subscription as well as the considerable challenge of misrepresenting a virtual device for a real one, in which case the service looses any actual appeal.

As others mentioned this will not work at FB. Their lobby is 100% security and always busy as it is a massive campus. The only way a FB employee is even there is if they are waiting to escort someone in for a scheduled meeting. Getting into the campus would not be useful either. Its like a little college town. Offices require badging in. This might work at smaller companies however.

Just because you refuse to say it publicly does not mean you don't know it.

> The non-profits in my area (which is very low income) would very much like to target my local community better/cheaper.

They certainly would, but have they? I asked for a very simple and specific thing. Examples of targeted ads right now that are specifically targeted towards low-income folks and which are doing it to better their lives.

Please, by all means, show me examples. Not anecdotes. Not opinion. Hard examples.

Until then, it's a pipe dream used to justify your company's desire to further invade people's privacy.
Examples of things that turned out to be big despite expectations are misleading, because there are far more examples of things that most people were skeptical of that didn't go anywhere.

All it says is that nobody can reliably predict what's going to be huge and what isn't.

Author is delusional. A bunch of small stores close is nowhere near similar. I just want to go to one shop, get the stuff, and leave, not to go to 8 shops, pay 8 times, pack groceries 8 times and overall walk more

edit: that is not to say opening big supermarkets is great, just that once they are there that's why people skip local stores and go to the big supermarket
> the regular non-TOR internet is decentralized

All this stuff is on the Internet, so the Internet's decentralization is a floor that we can build further decentralization on top of.

But wouldn't a hypothetical direct data link to somewhere be faster than using the Internet to get there?

It'd be more brittle, yes. It can go down with little fault tolerance; it can't serve someone else; it can be trivially MITM'd. These are the downsides of centralization and the upsides of decentralization.

> BitTorrent is often faster than regular internet

I torrent a lot, and one thing that doesn't come to mind is "fast".

You can stream 4K movies on Netflix. I'm betting you can't do that as well with a torrent...

> I suspect TOR is slow due to intentionally long and twisty routes, added encryption, extra hops that require more processing, low numbers of exit nodes, and limited bandwidth at the exit nodes. In a way, the speed is probably partly a byproduct of TOR accidentally centralizing traffic at the scarce exit nodes.

Like with torrenting or Bitcoin or PeerTube or whatever, you've listed a bunch of extra complexity that's all corollary to the thing being decentralized and necessarily making it slower. :p

A lot more has to happen to solve a harder coordination problem. You end up using random, non-industrial grade relays. It's more complex, and it's going to be slower.

What does that buy you though? Resilience, like if a relay goes down. Flexibility, like if you wanna use a different relay to circumvent a geolock. Privacy, in that it's much harder for an adversary to monitor you. There's no free lunch for those things, though, tragically, and they're secondary/tertiary on many people's priority list.
I understand your point, but why the separation of coin vs. non-coin tech? Meaning that the only real guarantee of cryptocurrency is prevention of double-spend rather than a confirmed unique identity?

Actually wouldn't a move to Tor completely destroy the ability to effectively moderate any sort of community since you have no way of banning spammers/bots? Even a "lawless" place like 8chan or Kiwifarms will have trouble holding discussions if all their forums are filled with copy-pasted CP from some random botnet
> but I don't want to get anywhere near illegal stuff.

Then you should probably stop using the web altogether.

I'm seriously confused how using Tor places you closer to "illegal stuff" then browsing as you do? Could you clarify?

Even if we're going to draw the distinction between .onion sites and the plain web (and there's nothing about Tor that requires you to visit or interact with .onion sites) I'm nearly certain that there are many orders of magnitude more "illegal stuff" being shared on traditional websites than the "dark web". Plenty of drugs are purchased through Venmo, and Tumblr and Twitter have had pretty high incidents of child exploitation materials being shared on there (and, despite having been a heavy user of those sites at some point, never came across any content close to that).

My experience has been that, barring 4chan 10 years ago, it is extremely rare that you'll ever come across any "illegal stuff" unless you are looking for it.

Re: timestamps, the app is already sandboxed and is limited in the files it can read. It's strange that they're seemingly locking down timestamps tighter than the data itself?

For free space, it's pretty common for iOS apps to restrict functionality when your device is critically low on space -- because having most disk writes fail can be very difficult to handle.

You also might want to implement a cache policy that's "greedier" when there's plenty of free space. I think there are plenty of reasons to want to know how much free space is available.

I feel like offering lower fidelity values may be a better of handling these privacy concerns rather than adding further complexity to the already onerous app review process.

For example, for files your app doesn't own, round timestamps to the nearest second, and free space to the nearest 100mb. Most legit use-cases won't need more than this level of fidelity.
> They don't seem to believe it beyond UBI distribution, which has the same problems as distribution today

Especially since UBI distribution aren't built in any meaningful way on this blockchain. They have some vague notion of one day wanting to use it to provide UBI, but they don't have any idea of what that actually looks like, or when, etc.

They are vaguely gesturing towards the concept of UBI.
