If you look at all the revisions to the employment numbers over the past few years, one could arrive at the conclusion that a downturn was inevitable.
> Instead, they repeatedly suggested that a scientific criticism of a published paper had no place in a dissertation

Why not a) finish the dissertation as soon as humanly possible, and b) now that you're bona fide, publish a separate paper disputing the famous paper which your dissertation didn't rely on?

Instead, it sounds like the student and committee advisors were a bad fit and spent most the time in a pissing contest.
Yeah, land… you know US CRE is on the precipice of disaster, Chinese RE had some huge disasters. And the best opportunity for RE came and went in 2009. Meanwhile the top S&P500 stocks were not the top in 2009, even Apple had already released the iPhone back then. I understand you are making a colorful comment.

I've been a shortwave listener for over 30 years. I remember listening to Radio Israel when Saddam was sending scud missiles into Israel and the radio was directing people into shelters, real time.

One thing I'd like to see, especially if there is a concern for communication, is loosening the licensing restrictions that US shortwave stations cannot broadcast to the US. Back in the day when US station operators were interviewed they had to say that the were broadcasting to "Canada and Mexico", which was code for "to the US".
Yeah sorry, I'm too focused on backend services.
Not to derail here, but yeah, TSLA needed to get out of meme stock territory for a long time now. Its been hurting the underlying business.

100% agree with you. Unfortunately Chrome is damn near a requirement if you are interacting with the Google Cloud console. Try to use BigQuery studio in any other browser and you are in for a world of hurt.

> I don't know why there is this general vibe amongst technologists that they are somehow far superior in their thought process compared to the general populace. I have heard the words peasant class come up quite often in the tech circles. Why is this ? Aren't you part of the general populace ?

I think the HN crowd (and technologists) are generally better informed on the economy and the nuances on economic growth, inflation, stock market etc. and that's probably the point OP is making. Dont get me wrong, a lot of technologists did vote for Trump.
I imagine they'd work similar to drug free school zones :-/
I mostly agree, but I am slightly worried that it would lead to slower progress in Firefox. As it stands, Google's funding of Firefox is enough to hire a bunch of engineers to make Firefox a pretty competitive browser.
Keeping MV2 going is a massive and unrealistic effort for a small dev group while continuing to incorporate upstream changes. You cannot leave a browser without those upstream changes as they include security patches.
If it’s anything like Safari’s declarative blocklists:

Ad blocking on Youtube.

Youtube-blocking Safari extensions “solve” Youtube blocking by using non-declarative APIs that need full access to Youtube. Apple seems ok with that so far, but the APIs are not as goods, so their success rate is limited.

Whether Google will allow new extensions that block Youtube remains to be seen.
I put this setting in ages ago on my FF profile and haven't seen DNS lag.

My biggest DNS lag was before I used PiHole and was relying on my router, which upstream to 8.8.8.8. I've just assumed that little thing was overloaded or that Comcast was just having a "hiccup".

> I don't know why there is this general vibe amongst technologists that they are somehow far superior in their thought process compared to the general populace.

It’s a recent shift. Historically, “technologists” were skeptical of the supposed knowledge of “experts.” When Linus built Linux, the “experts”—the guys with PhDs—said the future was microkernels: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanenbaum%E2%80%93Torvalds_deb.... Linus was right. But I feel like today techies would’ve mocked him for being just a student arguing with a tenured professor on a subject in the professor’s field.

Opposition to free trade has been building for 25 years: https://www.britannica.com/event/Seattle-WTO-protests-of-199.... We used to make routers in California and sell them to China. Now we make them in China and Americans drive Uber. Economists tell us that this is efficient, but the public isn’t required to believe them. And it’s fine to try a different approach to see what happens.

I’m honestly not seeing a way out of this for the die-hard MAGAs other than letting them age out. The problem is less that idiot 20% and more the Obama-Trump crossover voters. They’re the ones we should fight to win back.

Decapitating MacBook: An Odyssey
As a perennial non-Apple-person I pushed myself to confront the idea that if I want to develop for Apple platforms (and I do), I should be comfortable with their devices and probably own one, so that I can experience my software in the way my intended users will.

So I bought a Macbook, cheap with a smashed screen, in order to cut off its head and use it as a build machine.

I wrote about it, it got long, I don't know who if anybody has the time or inclination to read about such things, but here it is...
> And even Rubio, who you would expect to take an expected diplomatic approach,

Rubio is a longtime political opportunist with no diplomatic experience or background and a history of knuckling under to Trump specifically. I’d expect him to be a consummate yes man as long as he is in the Administration (and I wouldn't expect anything the Administration might decide to cause him to leave, no matter how out of line with “expected diplomatic” norms), and its very clear the tone the Administration has decided on from the top.

Why would you have any other expectation?

I'm not sure why they state "although the AWS Load Balancer Controller is a fantastic piece of software, it is surprisingly tricky to roll out releases without downtime."

The AWS Load Balancer Controller uses readiness gates by default, exactly as described in the article. Am I missing something?

Edit: Ah, it's not by default, it requires a label in the namespace. I'd forgotten about this. To be fair though, the AWS docs tell you to add this label.

DOJ: Google must sell Chrome, Android could be next
What's keeping me from moving away from Chrome is the password storage & autofilling. Is Firefox's password manager just as good?
Exactly the reason why I use https://choosy.app to always redirect everything Google Cloud to Chrome, but everything else to Firefox.

That way if I click on some random GCP link in Slack it opens the link in Chrome, but everything else stays in Firefox. I don't need ad blocking for GCP so that works fine.

Sucks, but better than using Chrome full time.

The US system has decided that the sitting president is not just personally immune from any legal action that could be imagined to be done in an official capacity, but also holds the power to hold anybody else immune as well. What legal actions could you even impose on such a person?

I also don't see what indications you have that the US is moving in a sensible direction? It seems unlikely to me that the US will learn anything from this.

Related if anyone is switching over. I like to run Firefox Developer Edition[0] as my "work" browser, with work related bookmarks, etc. and then regular Firefox for nonwork. This makes it really easy to keep the two separate. I know there's a lot of ways to segment within the same browser but this works well for me.

These are distressed properties. They’re not for sale by the original owners, who probably would prefer to keep them. (Their creditors, on the other hand, want to get paid.)
It's getting harder and harder to bring them home. The prisons are trying to keep the items inside the system, even though the prisoners actually bought the items outright.

I use Firefox as my main browser and having "tens of tabs open" is something I do and there's zero issues with that.
Thanks for keeping me safe, Google! You know better than me what software I should be running on my computer.
You’re being purposefully dishonest, as none of this is what I’ve said. You can’t just ignore what I wrote and fill in something that is easier for you to argue - this makes you look unbelievably stupid.
your answer is missing some perspectives. The decline in IT salaries stems from more than just economic and technological factors. While automation, offshoring, increased labor supply, and standardization contribute significantly, additional perspectives are important. Industry trends show a post-pandemic correction and shift toward profitability over growth. Political factors include changing immigration policies and government investments in tech education. Geographic influences have intensified as remote work normalizes cross-regional salary expectations. Educational changes have democratized tech training, creating faster workforce entry paths. Organizational shifts toward flatter hierarchies and project-based work have also impacted compensation structures. This broader view explains the complex pressures affecting IT salaries globally.

> What if the past governments were just propping up growth by increasing government spending. The facts that are coming out now point in this direction.

Nothing like that is seen now. You primary see markets reacting to tariffs and to boycotts. You see them reacting to large contracts that should be to Musk companies.

The government spending did not went down yet.

So, just to be clear, you think the right level of abstraction that codebase rules should operate at is, "the codebase should be accessible to programmers in every country across the world without modification" even when no such programmers operate on the codebase or are likely to ?

Do you apply this rule uniformly, or just to spellings?

The level of time-wasting here is off the charts. Write code to solve problems. If you have an international team, have international standards, if you do not -- it does not matter.

If any of this changes, literally, apply a regex. OP is a blog article about rules for a code review -- as if the relevant part of the review is spelling ? Are we mad?

Code review isnt to enforce these superficial standards -- these are regexes/flags in a build process. Code review is to ensure the code solves the problem under functional/non-functional constraints, in a manner which is easy to understand, communicates intention, etc.

Anyone talking about whether something is pluralised in a code review is a person who should be no where near any such process. They are clearly pathologically incapable of prioritisation or completely uninterested in review.
So you seem to think the struggle is already forfeit. That's your choice, but, you know, not fighting means you already lost.

But things are not lost. The very example you cite, Wirecard, despite the attempts to silence the Financial Times (of London, BTW. Wirecard "weaponized" the British justice system) in 2019, has been charged by the German regulator BaFin in 2020 and the scandal is slowly but surely worked out. As of today, three top managers have been sentenced in civil processes to pay damages, 2 more cases are currently heard, 21 more are investigated, and 11 have been exonerated. And this is just civil/trade law, criminal law is also prosecuted. Braun is held in custody, the hearings are ongoing. Marsalek is on the run and presumably hiding in Russia. Erffa and Bellenhaus are about to receive their sentences. Steidl and Knoop are about to have their first hearings this year. Those are all C-level managers.

Could this all go faster? It sure would be nice. But this is better than what you seem to think what is happening. Furthermore, this is all orthogonal to Ecosia's pledge.
> Why is this ? Aren't you part of the general populace ?

In the country where I live/lived programmers are usually 1) top 25% earners 2) dis-proportionally vote liberal leaning candidates

Of course that 25% is a part 100%, however that absolutely not a random selection and very different from the "median" citizen and their problems.

Being top earner definitely skews ones views - not a novel phenomenon.

The issue I have is not that they did it; it’s that they lied about why.

Chrome is their project, they should be free to do whatever they want with it. People can use a different browser if they wish (I do).

This whole “better for users” bullshit is why I don’t respect Google as a company. Don’t piss on me and tell me it’s raining.

I don't think comparing it to used or modified cars is very fair. I understand what you mean, though, and yes, the S2000 isn't that impressive anymore. Still, its straight line acceleration is very respectable for what it cost at the time, even when adjusting for inflation and average power isn't the only thing that went up, weight did too.

What can you get that trounces it for the price? Even a Golf GTI doesn't do much better (and you can't even get it in manual anymore).
Similarly, promo materials for the Elan 7 talked about how the camera was able to determine exposure based on a database of hundreds of photos.

It is not outdated just because it isn't reusable, at least it can use green hydrogen fuel.
Some incredibly shallow takes in this thread, most of which seem to be coming from people who didn't even read the article. The quote in context:

> "They're going to regret it," Seubert predicted. "Not financially or anything, but just from a historical perspective, the Internet Archive is valuable for all of us."

This was not the central point of the article. He clearly is not saying that "the legal entity Capitol Records will manifest emotions and come to experience regret," but "the people who in aggregate comprise Capitol Records will regret the role they played in restricting access to these works," in the same way that a game developer on Hacker News might regret having added game-breaking DRM to a title he worked on twenty years ago, even though this allowed him to earn a lot of money.
Warner DVD Defect Troubles
You can't see all 50-70 tabs on a normal 27" monitor; Chrome will squish them almost indefinitely, and Firefox forces a large minimum tab width that makes the tab bar scroll forever and then you forget half the tabs you have going and everything's bad. I tried to switch and stopped because of this. I'll hang on until ubo really stops working, I guess, and then try to figure something else out.

Is there a specific aspect of the administration's policies which you believe are causing this?

Candidates would include "actual impact of tariffs enacted" or "uncertainty about future tariffs" or the same things but with "geopolitical decisions" instead of tariffs. Or similarly "fiscal solvency" or "profile of government spending" etc. It's all well and good to make untestable post facto explanations based on vibes but I'd be interested in whether you (or other people in the thread) have specifics, so we can think about backtesting and prediction. Do you predict that these phenomena will have long-term implications or if they will self-correct?

Any assertion of the causation of a market movement is itself pretty economically tenuous. I think any of the above policies can be criticized on principled grounds; if the stock market is the arbiter of whether economic policy is correct I do not think that anyone would be happy with where this leads.
It would be enough if Apple realized the same thing. They're in a position to have the best browser, and coast along ignoring the opportunity.
Nobody uses Ladybird, at this point it's vaporware. And Thunderbird is still based on Firefox.

The development of Firefox costs around $200 million per year. That's more than what Wikimedia can get from donations, and Wikipedia is a website that everyone uses. And you want to rely on donations from people that ad-block YouTube instead of paying for Premium.

And let's say that it manages to bring those costs down to $100 million per year or less and manages to get it from donations (when pigs will fly) … it still has to compete with a Chrome whose estimated cost goes over $1 billion per year.
Agreed. Skimming the article and it quickly became clear there wasn’t going to be anything specific about the emails. Was hoping for examples or insight into a specific writing style.
My "compliance car" cheapo Ford Focus EV had about 5% over-provisioning. It realistically got its range estimate for the past 7 years except in winter which reduced the range about 20%. It's starting to lose range now on year 8.

Many non-Teslas are also over-provisioned (my 2nd EV is as well based on YT testing videos).
Don't think Pi 5 can run 'supervisor code' (in old ARM language) in 32-bit mode, so RISC OS surely won't run. The bulk of it is written in assembler so reworking it to AArch64 would be an epic task. Probably take no longer to rewrite those bits in a higher-level language, for much of it.
