Any compiler that gets used at runtime (branded JIT, usually) ends up growing performance hacks or being written from scratch to run quickly. Javascript is prone to using multiple compilers based on how frequently code was executed. That's also what the whole -O0 -O3 -flto -thin-lto -pgo etc flags are about, granting permissions to burn different amounts of time during compilation.

It's really easy to accidentally write code that walks off a performance cliff on unexpected input, but that's likely to get hacked around if someone reports it as slow compilers do annoy people.

Well if you are blocking access to their crawler, I'd imagine they'd have no need to use an incognito crawler to check for malicious content. Why would they care if that content is not ending up in their index anyway?

Presumably, the incognito crawlers are only used on sites that have already granted the regular crawler access. That's content that ends up in their index which they want to vet.
I've been down this road a few times over the past few years. Aside from zoom or a company-managed MS teams service, we found the alternatives just too troublesome to get working properly across larger groups of people.

Take google meet for instance. There are already two versions of this app on the play store. One is "google meet (original)" and the other is just "google meet". The weird thing is that both of them are regularly updated, and the "(original)" app was last updated just a week ago.

As for alternatives like Jitsi, perhaps I can get it going, and perhaps a few people would join for a few weeks. The interest will slowly die out as people go back to what they know - zoom or teams. My mother in her 70's uses zoom to collaborate with others on some work that she does - they understand the privacy issues but they simply won't accept the hassle of changing to something else. Not unless zoom does something really bad.

I learned PCB design from roughly nothing over the last 7 months to create a custom PCB that integrates with GitHub Actions for a CI/CD pipeline for my novel operating system's kernel test harness to test on bare metal.

I mean I personally know three family friends in unions who are incompetent and protected by union rules so they will never be fired. (One in immigration, one a court officer, one a public school teacher).
> Which unions are you referring to raise mobility compared to not unionized?

I'll say what I mean, but first I think we should define "mobility".

I'd argue that improved mobility is the same as improved working conditions. Because happy workers are workers with more options in life. Is this an acceptable definition? If not, please give me an alternative.

With that in mind, history is littered with union actions that have generally improved workers.

For that, you need look no further than articles on union actions such as this [1]. Minimum wage, ending child labor, the 40 hour work week with 8 hour days. All of these have their roots in union actions. More money, more free time, and more benefits. Those are the promises of unions in general.

> The rest of your post can really just be a rant against capitalism for better or worse.

I find this pretty funny. Unions are a part of capitalism and regulating them away is a perversion of the free market. Workers organizing is not anti-capitalist.

> The goal of a union is the antithesis to this question. They enforce a minimum standard of pay and work conditions.

So the answer is that person doesn't get hired...

That person never gets the chance to grow into the job, because the union wouldn't approve it. Fun...

The idea that workers are like cattle... and that each one is the same and deserves exactly the same compensation is absurd, is demonstrably untrue, and is de-humanizing. Funny, because unions are supposed to be pro-worker, no?

> These are anti union talking points

The pro-union folks need better come-backs than "anti union talking points" or "propaganda". It's a classical technique - assert your opponent is spewing propaganda while you promote your own propaganda as "truth" in it's place.

Unfortunately we've had decades to judge unions - and people are well aware of their issues. There's plenty of reasons unions are not as pervasive today as they once were.
I bought a simple Apple charging cord on Amazon once. I clearly did not get an actual Apple product as it introduced severe buzzing to the computer’s audio output. Even tried several return-replacements. Same issues. No issues direct from the Apple Store.

I knew about non-coding or junk DNA but had forgotten how extreme it was.

Ended up learning about the onion test[1] and this interesting article[2] which suggests classifying non-coding DNA as either junk DNA, spam DNA or both, to better capture the differences that exist.

I also found this article[3] providing some interesting overview and discussion on the topic.

It's a toilet. I can't figure out how to trust any listing there. I stopped ordering from there not because I was protesting or anything, I was just sick of annoying Amazon support, who are nice people having a long day. I've had less suffering and better results buying things from random people on Craigslist.

I'm an Amazon nightmare. They see my account going from ordering every other day 25 years ago, often big ticket items, and barrelling into Prime when it happened, to dropping Prime and gradually reduced to ordering every other year. Or maybe I'm a rounding error. But I'd rather go to the store than order from Amazon.

On the software side of things, for something like decade now macOS has also surfaced which programs are egregiously power hungry to the user. The most visible way is in the battery menubar item, and in the most extreme cases it'll even show a notification. Similarly Safari tells users when sites are being too voracious.

I think this sort of thing is probably more effective than many believe at helping curb lackadaisical attitudes towards resource consumption among devs, with how it turns users into squeaky wheels.

Computers Are Broken
I've worked a lot of such low-end jobs in the past. These days it'd take 4-5 full time jobs to make rent.

As for the tenement housing - never seen it - and I have been in a lot of places BC through Sask. I've known families to put up immigrants, friends, family back home to sponsor them sufficient to afford, and way more. I did spend some time in shelters once upon a time - not kind places - and certainly not a place one could hold down a job from. As for me ... I lived in a lot of "low" rent buildings and rough buildings (as well as far more often out of vehicles than actual on-the-street homeless - although did that too) ... eventually I did similar to what the writer did and moved into office work, then remotely and eventually could get my own home.

The old tenements though - some are now museums.
It's a neat idea for a SaaS to just host the control-plane/metadata and allow customers to write to their own data store via S3. I can't think of too many other systems work that way - it certainly is operationally simpler but I wonder if it also gets you some compliance wins.

I wonder if we'll eventually standardize on a cloud-agnostic S3-like protocol but for locking and fast transactional writes so we can just have companies building pure software again but using standardized Cloud instead of POSIX APIs.

I am not an oncologist but I thought that metastasis was more related to a tumor growing too close to a major blood highway. If some of those cells that like to grow out of control get into that system they end up getting lodged all over the place. It seems less like "enabling and executing" and more like it just grows and grows until it leaks out. The ability for tumor cells to suppress the immune system however is fascinating. It's almost like an alien.
Speaking of pinky promises:

> We will not use ... protected health information, to train our artificial intelligence models without your consent.

> We routinely enter into ... legally required business associate agreements (BAA) with our healthcare customers. Our practices and handling of ... protected healthcare data are controlled by these separate terms and applicable laws.

To my understanding there is nothing in the separate terms (BAA) or applicable laws (HIPAA) that actually guarantees this.

I don't want to assume malice but if in good faith I would have expected an updated BAA with an explicit declaration regarding data access and disclosure in a legally-binding fashion rather than a promissory blogpost vaguely referencing laws that don't themselves inherently restrict the use of PHI for training by Zoom.

It would really only require a single term.

Ask HN: Why No Paid YC Slack Group?
I realize some people might argue against this because of spam or because its hard to maintain quality but IMO this can be solved by making it a paid slack group.

I would definitely be ready to pay $500/yr for this. It should include past/present YC founders and some YC staff members.

Something like this will be beneficial internally at YC too, to test early versions and get feedback on product quickly.

With each area that tends to trade together having a common coin or set of coins for reference purposes, and large interchanges between them?
Fair enough point. I'd just say that I don't believe studios are using US VFX companies out of the goodness of their souls.

My dad had his own business and one thing he told me is "I'd fire one of my employees if I could" And I certainly believe he and every other business owner thinks like that.

If it were reasonable for media companies to get the same work done for 20% the cost, they'd have done it across the board yesterday.
> The most annoying is piracy that Amazon could prevent with the work of an intern.

It’s not just actresses. A friend of mine worked for entertainment news and was “propositioned” by Harvey Weinstein. As far as I know it was an open secret in the business.

A union can’t just take action by outing the women who could have complained. And largely the affected women decided that they would rather make money than be disbelieved by media and courts on a rape allegation. Let’s say the union has your back: then what? SAG can’t guarantee you won’t be silently blacklisted as a troublemaker by individual directors making hiring decisions. They can’t guarantee you’ll be taken seriously by the police and courts. #MeToo was a watershed moment, and it’s hard to see how a union could have made the social structural stars align in our entire culture any earlier than it actually happened.
Just stored 7 years worth of memories in the cloud, they can worry about redundancy!
Grammarly is an extremely obvious intelligence cutout masquerading as a company. Their entire business model is getting employees insecure about their English skills to dump sensitive government and business documents into their service without their employer's knowledge. They were founded in and keep multinational offices in intelligence laundering hotspots so the Americans can claim to have received tips from the Germans and the Germans from the Ukrainians and so on.

Attackers love overflowing buffers but since that memory is not executable they can't put code in there directly. The JIT compiler is almost always the only component which writes to executable pages so they need to somehow trick it into emitting the code they want. It's my understanding that JIT spray attacks are harder to develop.
Smug dropout is smug.
At work, there is a whole process and checklists for "approved" software. Zoom is one of them. Most Microsoft software are in this approved list. Our work laptops are locked down and you can't install anything. Our development laptops are a bit more open, but they are monitored as well. However this is not the issue.

How do you get a whole organization of several thousand people to move from zoom to another platform? In my experience, this has only happened because the provider simply could not meet the QoS/ToS, or they were priced out.

Also, most people just don't care. They just want something working well. We've got Cisco webex and Microsoft teams, but guess what most people prefer? Zoom. Because "it just works better".
I always wondered what exactly it is that Electron apps are doing to use that much CPU when they're sitting in the background doing nothing, often not even being on screen. For something like chat I guess it could be polling (surely sockets are more popular now?), but it's not uncommon to see this behavior even in completely offline Electron apps. It seems like they're never truly idle.
Yeah hard lesson learned indeed. I am slowly working on redundancy with my data, so looking to HN for solutions.
> The goal of open source, of cloud, of open APIs, of great documentation, etc., is to enable developers to build with less friction and more opportunity.

I thought it was to empower the sovereign end-user, to enable freedom in a world increasingly ruled by computers. But I see now that actually "open source"* was meant to help Microsoft/Apple/Google/.. build locked-down spyware-laden appliances more efficiently, and grease the wheels of corporate giants like Amazon.

*By pure coincidence, neither "free" nor "libre" appear anywhere in that article.
Maybe saying it the other way around would have made it clearer. The ones in economic power have always (in case there was strong fascist movements) been in favor of fascism.

That's not an opinion but a historical fact. The Nazis in Germany were supported by large industrialists (Thyssen, Krupp, IG Farben), how made a killing (quite literally). Similarly in Italy and Spain, the Fascists were supported by the big capitalists.
Sounds about right. Maybe this will be the magic trick that makes some IT security professionals reconsider giving Microsoft all their proprietary corporate data. Doubt it though, outlook somehow isn't seen as an exfiltration vector.

They are the dominant players for sure. I think the biggest reason is that they do everything mostly the same, there is no reason to talk about how deep trench was done independently if Intel did it 10 years before. Or that x technology allows for higher performance. It's all not important to the product offerings and hype train.
Leasing "thrust", not engines; there's a distinction that might not be obvious at first.

Engines are leased at different thrust ratings depending on what the airline needs. Mostly fly out of long runway airports in fairly cool, low altitude (ie dense air) locales lots of thin, svelte passengers who have little luggage, on fairly short trips with not much fuel needed onboard? You can get away with a lot less thrust than an airline that caters to overweight tourists flying out of Las Vegas with luggage loaded to the gills with trinkets.

The lease usually includes everything needed to make the plane go VROOM when the pilot pushes the loud lever, including live monitoring of telemetry for performance and repair issues; a plane might get scheduled for repair, with parts routed and mechanic time scheduled, mid-air...

It's a perfectly normal practice...that ground to a halt in Russia with economic sanctions, and was why a bunch of people in the airline industry sat up and took notice when the sanctions started rolling in. In theory leases could be up a few days after sanctions started and the plane would be dead on the tarmac (or maybe they get a minimum amount of thrust, enough to fly the plane mostly unladen. Not sure. I don't know the industry well enough.)

There were stories that Russian airlines were looking to, or expected to, hire hackers to hack into the engine FADEC units to re-enable them when the leases were up / change their thrust levels, etc. What could possibly go wrong with hiring people to hack your plane's FADEC units...

This is on top of all the airframe leasing, of course. Lot of people expected planes that were leased by Russian airlines to suddenly fly only domestic routes, or routes to countries with friendly governments bribed by Russian oil, grain, and loans who wouldn't allow a repo team to do their thing.
The worst thing to ever happen to workers, short of a socialist revolution or major war, is unions, so the antipathy, to the extent that it exists, is fully justified, and not enough.

I’m Im still running a sandy bridge i7-2600k on a workbench/electronic hobby/3d printing area PC. Runs all the applications I use or need for tinkering around. Bought it back in 2011 as part of a gaming pc I built. Then transferred the CPU into a mini-itx motherboard and case, so I could mount it under the workbench.

Along with that, I have a 2011 sandy bridge mac mini running ubuntu server and about 8 containers. (Including cloudflare tunnel and wireguard). I’m going to squeeze as much as I can out of them. At least until there is no OS support for either.
he also pointed out that they prosecute you and fine you 500 dollars (which sounds a lot milder than i think it actually is in a country where 3500 dollars is a normal yearly income)

> Facebook is also how I found out what happens if you avoid military service completely (& illegally), which is what I was planning to do. What happens is you fly back home after you are 30 years old (that's past the age cut off for service), you get a lawyer, go to a military court, you plead guilty & pay $500. And finally, for your crime of military desertion you are barred from running for parliament. All of this is what you skip when paying this new $5000 thing.

it's true that he doesn't use the words 'prosecute' and 'punish', just the words 'military court', 'plead guilty', 'crime', and 'barred from running for parliament', which i think pretty strongly imply prosecution and punishment?
I went to the article and clicked "I have the same question" and it tried to get me to login to Google.
