I'm sorry but even though the idea seems interesting and the implementation may be elegant, you discredited yourself with two things :

- Speaking about "ad-free" just after speaking about "military-grade encryption" : Ads are malware in apps.
- Writing ridiculous fake comments yourself. No real user would have spoken about the design of your LP, especially on HN, given the technical details you gave.

Trying to fool people makes them reluctant to test your solution because who knows now if the details you gave are true ?

To finish on a more constructive note, I would say that it's not as simple as that to act as a third-party in such a sensitive transaction and process. There are lots of holes in your process of handing over the data to whoever is the beneficiary.
Why is "I dress partially in traditional clothing, which management ok'd" an issue? Would you object to someone wearing a cross necklace, turban, yarmulka, niqab, kilt, durag, hijab, kente kufi hat, or other traditional garment at work? Why does a keffiyeh stand out to you?
Ask HN: Seeking Advice – Navigating Career and Financial Challenges in Tech
Hello everyone,

I'm a software developer with two years of experience, currently working in a startup where I've spent the last year. My background includes roles in data engineering and backend development. I'm passionate about software development and am constantly seeking to improve by exploring blogs, books, and GitHub repositories.

However, I'm facing a dilemma. Over the past six months, despite being a top performer and receiving bonuses, my salary has not met my expectations. With high inflation impacting my country, my financial situation has forced me to make significant changes, including moving back closer to my family due to rising living costs.

I've attempted to discuss my salary concerns with my employer, but these conversations haven't led to the changes I hoped for. This situation has demotivated me, and I find myself more focused on job hunting and understanding market requirements than on my current job.

I'm seeking advice on a few points:

- How should I approach the conversation about salary adjustments under these circumstances?

- Is there a trend where staying in the same job can result in lower salary increases compared to switching companies?

- Any general advice on balancing financial needs with career growth in the tech industry?

Thank you for your insights!

What’s interesting is that Bryan himself claimed to have stopped TRT and was able to restore his levels to baseline levels. I have clinical hypogonadism so I was probably going to need lifelong TRT anyway. My LH and FSH were normal but testosterone and estradiol were both low. It was a sudden drop too.
Once you reach a critical mass where almost everybody own a bike, theft becomes less of an issue.

Theft is a big issue during the transition phase when a city is becoming more and more cycling friendly and a lot of people are actually looking for a bike.
They are recommended by the White House and confirmed by Congress.

I really don’t like this framing at all, it’s misleading and dangerous.

This is basically just a VPN, and like a VPN, you hiding your IP isn’t a solution for “privacy”, it’s merely removing your IP as one identification vector.

The content of your interactions will still identify you, this has been established again and again.

Example:

In 2006, the Internet company AOL released a large excerpt from its web search query logs to the public. AOL did not identify users in the report, but personally identifiable information was present in many of the queries. This allowed some users to be identified by their search queries. Although AOL took down the file within a few days, it had already been widely copied and still remains available.

This is almost correct. For the new Apple silicon machines you do need a second working Apple computer and cable in order to do a DFU if you completely wipe the SSD.

You can also waltz into an Apple store to have it done if you don’t have access to any other machines.

+1 for the ER20s. I've got some of the early Loops (no inserts or anything fancy) which are decent enough (and can be used for sleeping in an emergency.) Also got some of the early Flare Audio titaniums which do a decent job.

(For sleeping I buy the Leight Laser Lite in bulk because anything with a stiff/solid stem tends to be uncomfortable. They also work reasonably well in gig scenarios.)
That's probably why there was a second clause to their statement, which you appear to have ignored.
The problem with focus-follows-mouse on macOS is the top menu bar.

If you had it, and tried to mouse to the menu, the menu would switch out from under you.

I have some notes in a file somewhere about how a Mac-native focus-follows-mouse could even work, because I want it. It would end up being a rather different implementation than the X Windows style.

> Allies did not initiate war and did not want war.

An argument made that WW2 was continuation of WW1 and that WW1 was wanted by British leadership who were locked in an arms race with Germany that they could not sustain much longer and wanted a war with Germany while they were ahead so the assassination that triggered WW1 was the pretext tobstart WW1. If you disagree please try to answer why leaders are regularly assassinated and that does not cause a world war.
> But how this individual got infected "is a big question mark that at least this initial report doesn't really address thoroughly."

Quite. Apparently all his family have tested negative, but one wonders if the virus is circulating around the hospital and he's just the first case to be tested. Reminiscent of early covid, when that Chinese doctor noticed an uptick of viral pneumonia in his ward. As well as the exhortations to remain calm and that the risk is low.

Screw remaining calm. We need to overreact, if anything, as long as there's a hope of containment. Lock the ward down, trace contacts, ring-vaccinate the community, cull the livestock, set up wastewater surveillance. I can't do this again.
This almost always means "security patches" but the general public almost always interprets this as "feature updates" and tech journalism never manages to draw the distinction.

> The standard of driving in the US is abysmal and getting worse.

This is honestly the biggest issue. So, so, so many drivers are so utterly shit at driving, and because our infrastructure is completely 100% car-centered, they HAVE to be permitted to drive unless their infractions add up to a degree where it becomes untenable to let them continue. And even then, due to the same pressures, they will probably still be driving because in many places in the States, there is simply no public transit whatsoever. They'll just then be driving without a license, and be subject to an extra fine on top of the fortune they already owe.

I work remotely but make a drive down to my employer for various reasons very regularly, usually once a month or so, and it takes me about three hours, and never, ever am I able to make that trip without seeing dozens and dozens of boneheaded, brain-dead maneuvers out of people. Traffic weaving, left-lane camping, people merging onto highways doing 40 mph, people who don't understand roundabouts, people making illegal U turns, crossing several lanes so as to not miss an exit. The state of driving in the US is an utter disgrace. So many drivers have absolutely no business behind the wheel ever again.

When it comes to AI, the average user often thinks of large language models like ChatGPT or Claude AI that are trained on vast amounts of data across a wide range of domains. While these models are incredibly impressive in their ability to engage in open-ended conversations and tackle a variety of tasks, they can sometimes struggle with hallucinations or inconsistencies when dealing with highly specific or niche topics.

This is where AI trained on smaller, focused domains truly shines. By narrowing the scope of training data to a specific area, such as CSS animations and transitions, AI models can become extremely proficient and efficient at generating accurate and creative solutions within that domain. The limited syntax and well-defined rules of CSS animations make it an ideal candidate for AI specialization.

I recently had the opportunity to put this concept to the test by building an AI model specifically trained on CSS animations and transitions. Initially, I experimented with the Claude API and found that it performed quite well in generating animations. However, the real magic happened when I switched to a self-trained AI model running locally. The results were very impressive.

The locally trained AI model demonstrated an incredible ability to generate complex and visually stunning CSS animations with ease. It had a deep understanding of the syntax, timing functions, and various properties involved in creating smooth and engaging animations. The model's outputs were not only technically accurate but also showcased a level of creativity and innovation that surpassed my expectations.

The new model is going live today @ aicssanimations.com

Most NATO members are not real allies. Turkey or Greece or Slovenia could fall into the ocean and it wouldn’t materially Americans. NATO had a purpose once, but it’s just become a vehicle other countries to outsource their defense to the U.S.

You want to talk about history? How about: for 70 years American interventionism has resulted in an unbroken streak of mistaken wars that have sapped America’s wealth. Thats where your definition of “ally” has gotten us.
well said. everything needs to be diagnosed and treated with drugs. it is better to persevere with CBT, meditation, and self discipline than to cop out to some prescriptive drug regimen because neurodivergence is viewed as something a drug company can profit of off.

Isn't it also a strange disconnect to support squatting to that degree (or generally downgrade, explain away, tolerate most crime) and also wonder about the growth of the extreme right in Europe? (Not just in Europe, obviously). Many were mentioning the emotional toll on small property owners. Un-responded crime is necessarily very present on the victims, potential victims, their families. Relations with China are all very nice but constant alertness and lack of recourse has a very present weight.

Same as the impact on construction really. The risk of squatters or other hard to remove tenants is the obvious objection to owning rental property (i.e. supporting construction of new property - both in capital, labor for that construction and then availability on the market.)

European assembly elections this weekend. With many quite worried.
Most modern tech I can explain in terms of what it does, what it's like to live with. I think this is how I'd explain TV to someone from 1920, but it would be just as easy as explaining it to someone from 1820:

"It's a sheet of glass, and moving pictures with sounds appear on it."

"How does it work?"

"I don't know. It involves several dozen separate inventions, of which I understand perhaps three individual ones well enough to discuss."

--

Of course, to really blow the minds of people from 1920, you can either show them anything related to space travel (especially the Apollo missions, but also GPS); or tell them about basically any organ transplant; or show them a 3D printer (you know Bakelite? We found better plastics, and we made a machine that can, without ongoing intervention, use that make any shaped structure we ask it to… and those machines can also do metal, and yes that includes the engines of those spaceships we showed you earlier. Also houses).
Signing by a central authority makes a lot of sense... if only that authority would sign off on the software being secure instead of the software fitting their current mood and business strategy.
I don't know how this misconception persists, but Target's Canada failure was entirely Target's fault. They made huge errors in distribution/inventory and the shelves were empty from grand opening. They resolved their inventory issues after their fate had been sealed.
Definitely a win for the UK tech scene and US/UK tech collaboration/M&A in general. Having met Mike on several occasions, it’s clear he’s a huge asset to the AI startup ecosystem here in the UK. Certainly feels like justice has been served in one of the world’s most epic cases of buyer remorse. HP have managed to appear spectacularly hapless from this whole decade+ episode and simultaneously trash their reputation as a buyer. Who on earth would want to risk selling their business to HP now.
SpaceX destroys a lot of hardware, but during almost quarter of a century of operations, they had AFAIK just one work fatality - a worker was blown off his truck in McGregor in 2014.

No doubt they were lucky several times, but so were others, and most space institutions have much longer fatality lists, especially when adjusted to total flight volume.
Both are very significant events, since previous tests didn't get even close to soft landing.

Bank Rescinds a Job Offer Because It Had Cancelled the Candidate's Credit Cards
Actually, studies have shown that motorists are the biggest traffic rules offenders.

The thing is cyclists who are running the lights are more visible because it triggers the jealousy of other users having to wait who thus ignore the majority of cyclists who are actually abiding to the rules and waiting, and the huge amount of motorists who floor the accelerator and run the light after it changes (and is only a small fraction of all the rules they don't follow).

The other reasons some motorists feel cyclists obey less to the rules is because motorists feel more entitled to bend them at their wishes than other, the worse at that being the one driving as part of their professional duties.

Plans to use Facebook and Instagram posts to train AI criticised
Depending on who you ask, we may have already reached the peak or local maximum for AI with current technology. In which case the investment hype might deflate.

But I would still be bullish in the long term for GPU manufacturing. Between blockchain, AR/VR, AI, and just cryptography in general - it seems like all the computing technologies of the future are heavily GPU dependent. Even if AI flops, it seems like something will come along and drive demand for GPUs.

A use case I haven't seen mentioned - from skimming the comments, is that multiple users can connect to the same tmux session.

In my experience it works way better than for instance terminal sharing in VS Code.

Japan was already trying to negotiate conditional surrender when Hiroshima and Nagasaki were nuked. The US demanded unconditional surrender, and they nuked hundreds of thousands of civilians to force that demand.

The bombing of Dresden is arguably a war crime by todays standards. It was unnecessary.

Remember that we were allied with the Soviet Union (Joseph Stalin was the "good guy" on our side). After WW2 he was given half of Europe as a reward, forcing that half of Europe to become communist, and the Soviets got to write the history books about Germany and WW2. Not the most transparent and unbiased source of information.

The Soviets and other allied soldiers (the good guys) also had a free-for-all with the German ladies after winning the war.

It reminds me of the movements that existed to push for the non-medication of schizophrenic patients, and to treat them as just differently abled.

Same, -ish. I do wish I had this knowledge early in life - it’s been unnecessarily hard. But I think that while “aut-ish” is difficult, severe autism has an entirely different impact and we must protect these people: a “cure” would have a huge positive impact on so many, and in order to have a cure we first need to admit there is a disease. I have no problem being perceived as “queer” (after all, I’ve been “weird” or “odd” for 40 years, and synonyms can’t hurt that much).

I feel almost lucky - sure, life has sucked and I’ve missed out on so much, but I have a few things that really get my juices flowing and I feel bad for those who don’t. One of those things is currently in demand by society, and I am happy to take their money in exchange for software that came from my brain.
