Malidir··on U.K. orders Apple to let it spy on users' encrypted accounts
I assume its the USA using the UK to do its dirty work, as always?

Hence why Trump was cheering on Starmer the other day, despite all that has gone on between them.

Americans need to wake up and realise their state uses uk/israel to do what they don't want to be seen to be doing.

why?
Malidir··on Ask HN: How can I realistically change careers?
For cybersecurity, look at the entry certifications and do one of them, then start applying for entry level jobs.

Move on to the more intermediate certifications if you want to/keep learning.

Freelance? Start your own company?
Malidir··on Ask HN: Is Proton Mail Down?
Guys just a reminder - best to get your own domain and use that for your email rather than using proton.com/gmail.com/outlook.com etc

That way worst case you can switch it to another email provider/self-host.

Malidir··on Ask HN: Is Proton Mail Down?
They are getting a lot of 'feedback' on X :)

(and I imagine all other social media)

Malidir··on Ask HN: How to Emigrate from EU and Where?
Sssssshhhhhh

The Americans don't like to hear that their dominance is at risk.

Malidir··on Everyone is capable of, and can benefit from, mathematical thinking
Ironically, the ones who don't do well at school (inc maths) are the ones who then become trades like builders/plumbers etc or run small businesses like a shop. And so are regularly working with numbers via estimates and billing.

> I'd love to see the evidence for this; i'm deeply skeptical.

Cool, come and have a coffee with me :) I have older and younger siblings and was the one randomly blessed.

Whereas most recognised talents are associated with hard work and so there is then this visible link, I am a good example as I did the bare minimum throughout education (and beyond...).

The way my brain processes and selectively discards/stores the information it receives is very different to majority of the population. I have no control over it.

I take zero credit for any of my achievments - I regularly meet intelligent people near to retirement who have been to a tier 1 university, may have PHDs, worked 60 hours a week since they were born, been on course and what not and cannot reach the levels I can.

My nurturing was no different to siblings/peers (and was terrible!)

Note: I have my weaknesses too, but as a whole, I am exceptional. Not through effort!! Completely random - neither of my parents are intelligent and nothing up the ancestary tree as far as I know.

Malidir··on Ask HN: Recruiters, why do you repost jobs with 1000 applications a month later?
Aside: ATS systems will reject, say, 75% of the 1000 for not having the requried skills listed.
Malidir··on Undergraduates with family income below $200k will be tuition-free at MIT
"MIT’s endowment — made up of generous gifts made by individual alumni and friends — allows the Institute to provide this level of financial aid, both now and into the future."

This 'free education' is a great argument for MIT to persuade Wealthy Lefties to donate/leave them their inheritence. And do the senior people get any bonuses related to number of applicants/places?

But regardless, the increase to the current thresholds are great!

Malidir··on DOJ filed paperwork to US District Court to force Google to spin off Chrome [pdf]
Advertising deal with google/others to pay for full time staff along with volunteers?

And the underlying chromium will be maintained by all the browser companies that are using it

>The belief that some people have an innate skill that they are born with is deeply unhelpful. Whilst some people (mostly spectrum) do seem have an innate talent, I would argue that it is more an inbuilt ability to hyper focus on a topic, whether that topic be mathematics, Star Trek, dinosaurs or legacy console games from the 1980’s.

Nonsense!

The brain you are born with materially dictates the ceiling of your talent. A person with average ability can with dedication and focus over many years become reasonably good, but a genius can do the same in 1 year and at a young age.

We have an education system which gives an A Grade if you pass the course, but 1 person may put on 5 hours a week and the other works day and night.

Malidir··on Ask HN: How to Emigrate from EU and Where?
Eu is a big place, does nowhere appeal within it?

Perhaps lookup a digital nomad website as they list requirements for countries around the world to get visa.

Malidir··on New Apple security feature reboots iPhones after 3 days, researchers confirm

Malidir··on Cheaper to rent in Barcelona and commute to London
Why would you expect it doubled?

Population has not doubled, wages have not doubled, remote working became common after 2020 covid.

Malidir··on Google employees pressure execs at all-hands meeting for clarity on cost cuts
Google were too risk averse with AI.

Malidir··on ChatGPT Search
I just asked it. And it not do that.
Malidir··on ChatGPT Search
ChatGOT already has Microsoft has snuck bing and Ai into Windows so prominently usage has gone up.

A percentage of Google's search market share is permenently gone, just a question of where it bottoms out...

Instead of using Rackspace.com get some actual rack space!!
