jklein11··on Dad says glitch in ‘Find My iPhone’ app directs angry strangers to his home
It does seem like there are a number of states in which deadly force is permitted in the circumstances of trespassing

Your question was:

> In what state is it legal to kill people for stealing your stuff?

In Texas, under certain circumstances, it is legal to kill people for stealing your stuff. This might be very different than the laws in the state that you live in (it certainly is for me in New Jersey) but it is the reality.

As I mentioned it likely wouldn't apply in this case.

As a side note, the Castle Doctrine does apply within one's vehicle. Presumably an argument could be made that if someone stayed within their vehicle while confronting the home owner the Castle Doctrine may apply. Admittedly that is quite a stretch and I have no idea if something like that has ever been tried in Texas courts.

While it probably wouldn’t apply in this specific case, in Texas the Castle Doctrine describes circumstances where one could apply lethal force to defend one’s property

LOL my initial reaction was wow this a a creative defense to petty theft. The GPS says your phone is at my house? Must be a bug!
jklein11··on Ask HN: Why most devs doing competitive programming are unemployed these days?
I haven't seen evidence of competitive programmers being unemployed at a disproportionate rate but I would say that being able to write code is only one heuristic to how effective you would be as a software engineer. I don't think that excessive focus on competitive programming is a waste of time if you enjoy it. If you are focusing on it for employability, then yes, I think there are likely other places to spend your time more wisely
jklein11··on Ask HN: How can I get hired when I am now tired of being competitive?
I think you might need to reframe how you are considering this job search. It sounds like you are thinking of a job interview as an exam, and whoever scores the highest gets the job. You should think about the interviews as the opportunity to show that you are the right person to get done whatever it is they need. Part of that is showing that you can do the work, part of that is showing that your values align with theirs, and part of that is confirming that you will not be a pain in the neck to work with. There is more to the interview than just showing you have the technical chops and a lot of the answers to these questions are binary, not linear. You don't need to score the highest just make sure you check all of the boxes.

The CEO only had ~ $30M in stock? The CFO only had ~1.5M in stock? Is it just me or is that ridiculously low?
jklein11··on Ask HN: Why pay for ChatGPT premium instead of using GPT3 playground?
ChatGPT is fine tuned to be a chatbot. It is likely a pretty decent amount of work/credits to train GPT3 to do what ChatGPT does. I'm sure there are instances where this would make sense though. It is a little bit like asking "why would I buy an omelette when I could just buy the eggs?"

jklein11··on Everything SBF is doing is in singular pursuit of not going to jail
Because nobody can put the boot on this kids neck like the US Government
jklein11··on Everything SBF is doing is in singular pursuit of not going to jail
While I do think that what Coffeezilla did was a terrific piece of journalism I still don't think that what SBF has fessed up to alone can be evidence of fraud. He has admitted to breaking the terms of services with his users but I didn't hear an admission of intent. He can still plead negligence in this case.

Don't get me wrong, I think that doing all of these interviews is really the nail in his coffin. I don't see how anyone can watch these interviews and not think that what this guy did was criminal. I could imagine in an alternate universe, where he just kept his mouth shut, SBF could get some kind of deal if he helps the bankruptcy courts claw back some of the assets improperly paid.

This guy is clearly a narcist who thinks that he will be able to win this in the court of public opinion by smiling at the camera and paying lip service.

The legal definition of fraud requires intent

jklein11··on The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Hiring Freelancers
Getting to year 2 and then replatforming what is working and killing what doesn't seems better than spending 2 years on deploying with the "perfect" architecture
jklein11··on Ask HN: Did you have a positive experience with agencies/freelancers?
Can you describe what you mean by locked in personality and leverage point? Can you describe your agencies personality and leverage point?
jklein11··on Is it worth to pay $24 for Ngrok?
Are there really businesses that use ngrok for commercial purposes? Ive always thought about it as a way skirt around something without have to futz with my network
jklein11··on Musk SEC Filing
The terms of the deal waived any kind of due diligence or fluctuation in market price. The price reflected those terms. Musk recognized that there is a price that Twitter has to pay to enforce this contract. He is hoping that between the costs of enforcing the contract and the risk that the contract is enforceable, twitter walks away from the whole thing. Short term this seems like a pretty rational thing to do. In the future, if I were looking to do a deal with Musk, I wouldn't give much of a discount for waving due diligence, and make sure that I am protected from him pulling this kind of stunt.
jklein11··on The 0.5 MB of nothing in all Apple Music files (2020)
If all of the individuals are acting without malice, how could the institution act with malice? Isn't the institution just the collective will of the individuals?

I could see it playing out like this, incompetence causes the problem, incompetence fails to identify the problem, incompetence fails to fix the problem.

jklein11··on Huawei MatePad Paper – eInk Tablet
Wouldn't it be better for the community to moderate this sort of thing? You can always downvote post. Or even better, you could engage in discourse on how this product is benefiting evil regimes. I'm not sure promoting censorship is the answer here.
jklein11··on Ask HN: Is remote work killing your network?
I disagree. I think this is going to be like other work life balance questions. Yes the tone is set from the top but each team is going to interact with each other in different ways. I think it will be difficult for an entire organization to make a hard and fast rule.
jklein11··on Ask HN: Is remote work killing your network?
If you can’t afford to pay to work out all of that complexity you probably can’t afford to be based in NYC. You might be better off being located in one of the suburbs and pulling talent from only one of those states.

Also there are probably a number of firms that specialize in dealing with that kind of situation so you can get outside help affordably.

jklein11··on Flutter is the most popular cross-platform mobile SDK
I think the point was that from the perspective of the user the experience isn't any worse than a native IOS app. Your user likely doesn't know or care about the difference between a Flutter issue vs a Native IOS issue. You just don't want them to open the app and say wow this is jankier than normal, I don't trust it.
