They’re looking for folks that don’t need to see the code.

Also, this is fairly predictable. Companies hired expensive devs during the pandemic and are now working to replace them with lower cost devs in a weak market. Jobs will come back, at lower salary ranges.

The difficult part of running a ca is convincing others you’re trustworthy. You need to have your business processes audited but an independent third party and then wait for your root to be adopted and deployed in browsers.

The value in exiting providers is their reach; versign for example is deployed in practically every trusted root bundle. When GoDaddy wanted to enter the market, they bought Starfield who already had a root which was widely trusted and crossed that with their own.

The reason people will pay for you to compute a number based on a number they give you and your super secret number is that people trust what you’re doing with your super secret number. And that trust takes time.

I’d be willing to bet some internet karma that this was a simple mistake during packaging and an errant folder create was accidentally included. I’d be incredibly surprised if any IIS components are activated by this update or if anything beyond the folder existing is out of the ordinary for the system.

A British company making a chat app. What’s the privacy policy? 5 eyes first then you?

I read this article overwhelmingly thinking: do a test Ars. The subtext read like “Oh woe is us well just have to wait and see what happens there’s nothing we could do to move this along. We have an editor that has one but theirs isn’t internet connected. Oh if only there was something we could do to give more substantive reporting.”

Buy a printer, buy third party toner, and try and confirm or refute the claims.

What a shitty world when we now have paywalled content on medium.

I’ll have what they’re having.

Run a discord server. Hang out and chat, even if you’re playing different games or watching shows and movies. Sometimes knowing you’ll be heard even if no one is actively speaking is a good activity.

> we used a combination of two data collection methods: a survey administered to 651 employees and in-depth interviews conducted with 35 employees from the same organization.

I’m no statistician but surveying a single org does not seem to be a representative sample of the whole population of software developers.

Question about data collection. On the App Store it says that no data is collected by the app. In your privacy policy on the site it states that you do collect data related to the work that the app does and among other things, device metrics. If you do collect data, would you mind updating your App Store listing to clearly indicate that you collect data. If you don’t collect anything, could that be clearly indicated in your privacy policy.

Thanks, app looks clean and useful.

What main board do you have the issue with? Is it a 13 or 16?

Cold boot perf is a good yard stick but it’s not that important in your workflow. Except when it crashes. They really should work on that. Quality as a feature.

Missing the word exciting in the title.

What wild times we live in that a regional court can block access globally to a website.

Can you explain what has not gone well for you? How has it gone for the rest of the team?

Interest rates are dropping. Jobs are appearing and new ideas are forming. There will probably be fewer silly startups. Hopefully we will see some new technology that has a meaningful impact.

If you’re looking for privacy don’t bring a two way radio gps tracker with you everywhere you go.

I think there are plenty of other competent alternatives on the market now that match the price points of Teslas. Their supercharger network with free or cheap access was their main competitive advantage. I don’t think it’s as relevant now for a purchasing decision.

Great cross between civil engineering and cyber security with a couple of good examples of past incidents.

To recreate this, start a new chat conversation, tell ChatGPT to ask you about your first week in high school. Then, use the browsers dev tools to hide the first message sent by you to ChatGPT. Watch SkyNet grow.

I’m curious what value this story has for a hacker news user? I saw this headline, and moved on without blinking.

It makes an interesting question, how many Americans have ever lived? I can say with confidence it’s not 2.9 billion but I have no idea what the real number is.

2.9 billion records. Title makes it seem Americans have been more busy than they have been.

How is this different from other rendering engines that can be integrated and are completely free?

Let's imagine a land governed by direct democracy which has a river, and two communities on either side of the river. Because the communities trade with each other, a bridge over the river is proposed to link the two communities and increase trade. But who will pay for the bridge? Where will it be built? Will there be a toll to cross the bridge to pay for it? Will the ferries that crossed the river be compensated for the loss of income?

These are simple questions. If everyone was like-minded and had an equal share in the benefit of the bridge, then it should seem simple to build it.

In direct democracy, you'd expect people who would not directly benefit or who might need to pay a portion for the bridge to still vote for the bridge because they understand the benefit to the community as a whole.

Unfortunately, it wouldn't seem likely that people would vote if it wasn't in their interest. Especially when it's a monetary thing. There will be the anti-bridge people: the ferry operators, the nimby bridge naysayers, the locals worried it will blight their view who say the bridge ought not be built. The stonemakers, brick layers, business owners, and travelers want the bridge. A public campaign ensues. The bridge might not be built, and the communities do not grow and prosper. Everyone has forgotten why the bridge was proposed in the first place because the bridge has brought up other issues.

Politicians are the imperfect solution to this problem. A politician is supposed to have the interests of their constituency when they discuss the proposition, and compromise where their constituents cannot individually. They are supposed to see the bigger picture, and try to find the best solution for the location, funding, and compensation for affected people.

To your point of people being informed, people are (sort-of) informed today, certainly more than they were long ago. People are still not informed in the intricacies of lawmaking and how written rules will affect people. The cost of the whole population being informed also will detract from productivity.

Would you be willing, and would your employer be willing to commit a day a week to civic issues and informing yourself in order to vote effectively on issues that matter in your community.

I think technology can improve our government process; our representatives should do a better job communicating with their constituents on what they are doing, and importantly, get their input. This is a problem technology can solve.

On the other side, we the people, need to do a better job electing representatives. We need to elect reps that answer to us, not the highest bidder, and not to only a certain minority of the constituency. We need to hold our representatives accountable, and when they do not faithfully represent their constituents we need to collectively replace them with a new representative.

The bridge over a river is a contrived and simple problem; the reality of the problems that face politicians are typically more complex and the path forward is not at all obvious.

This is the problem if you try to enable direct-democracy without representatives. You burden the constituents with new responsibility and not everyone will accept it willingly or faithfully.

This doesn't touch the cybersecurity implications of voting on laws with technology.

Oh I wasn’t talking about the Intel processors :)

This article feels like it was written or augmented with an LLM.

What analysis was done or are we just talking about the data gathering?

Where is Ocean gate was charged with dealing with pressures above one atmosphere, this company will have to deal with pressures between zero and one atmospheres. Probably the same outcome will occur at some point.
