I can see it working for certain industries, but overall we need digital systems too. I work in manufacturing (biotech); everything we do uses a automated recipe, and there are only a handful of systems where we need an operator to directly interact with a UI to make stuff happen.

Thanks for sharing your perspective.

The new kids get arrested (SBF) but the old institutional dudes continue to rob us blind.

Obviously a very very gross generalization (might get called out on it too :P) - But I think the low hanging fruit for modern software is optimizing data layouts for fast processing.

Optimizing code requires a lot of work, and requires skills that people usually learn from experience - therefore a rare and expensive skillset. Data-Oriented Design can be taught, and requires (IMO of course) a far less technical skillset.

If I were you I'd use a hardware KVM device that goes to a single input source on the monitor and keep the monitor always-on with a black screen saver to prevent burn-in.

I was in a similar situation when I wanted a easy way to switch between speakers/headphone at any time without messing with settings or apps. I ended up using a physical switch. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008BMLXAU/

What are some instances of people en-masse trying to emulate a scientist's womanizing or similar traits? What I mean to say is, the problem we're trying to solve/avoid - does it actually exist, ever?

If we can't learn from flawed humans, then we can't learn anything from anyone. Everyone is defective in one way or another.

It is a bit humorous to see people project their own insecurities onto Elon with the flimsiest of evidence. "pissed that he overpaid on twitter" "must be angry" "must be mad that TSLA is going down", etc.

While LE probably has legitimate reason to have contacts in every major company SV company, its still chilling to see how friendly and obedient Twitter was, makes you wonder what other social media companies are doing with the government, and how they respond to "suggestions".

Personal attacks are against HN guidelines. I think we're done here. Goodbye.

I don't usually stick my neck out for Google, but I kinda get this policy. Charge-backs are the "nuclear" option, and both parties will take this unkindly. I understand in this case, it was suggested by the customer rep, which was a mistake.

That is simply your view, and I don't agree. Again, its no big deal, people can disagree. People are attempting to moralize the issue due to a personal vendetta against Elon (such as the poster I replied to).

The article states that given reason was "journalists had revealed private information about his family"

Your comment erroneously claims the reason was "for doing their jobs".

I'd recommend reading dang's comment since you have a lot of inflammatory comments in this thread.

Sure, and someone may disagree with your assessment. In the end its no big deal, its just a difference of opinion.

One important thing that you should consider is that feelings are not facts. While facts do inform our feelings, that isn't always the case. Most people are average (sometimes even people who think they're good). Its not wrong to feel like a failure just like it isn't wrong to feel like you're a success/have made it. IMO, what is important is that you should strive to perform at YOUR best. If you're doing than then you're already successful. Give it all you have, and ignore the haters.

Chrome records everything you type in the address bar, everything you type in a textbox/form, every website you visit, everything you downloaded, button clicks, which ads you interact with, etc, etc. If any other software did that, it would be called a keylogger and malware. I wouldn't defend Google on privacy matters, but okay its your choice.

Chrome is basically a keylogger for Google. There is an argument to be made that AV/Malware software should fingerprint it as such.

I was agreeing with your comment. I wasn’t clear enough.

Products in the game space heavily differentiate from one another by "showing more" data (textures, models, detail, etc) or "doing more" with data - (massively multiplayer, more physics, ai, sound) or "doing it faster" - (more fps, low latency, etc)

Local compute resources are finite, and if you want to target the widest market, then you need to fully utilize mainstream hardware; which means anyone willing to do the grunt work benefits from a higher quality product.

Flawed humans being angry at other human(s) who are also flawed. So ironic :)

It's ironic to observe flawed humans being angry at other human(s) who are also flawed.

Technology to have managed iOS devices is called MDM. Its mature technology that is already used for things like work-issued devices. What you want already exists. You're setting up a false choice.

Expecting Apple to fight your fights isn't going to solve anything. Apple only cares about money, and they're going to obediently abide by local laws (as they do in China). We need to take the power away from Apple and put it in an entity that we en-masse have influence with - such as a democratically elected government.

>If you want to run unsigned software or extensions you will have to boot into a recovery console and change the security model. The warning dialogs will be enough to discourage most use. Th

I think all of this is implying that Apple can be the only company that iOS users trust to sign software. Its a false choice.

Making things look "scary" to discourage users from trusting others is simply FUD.

I wonder if Flickr wants to create a corpus of CC content so that they can launch a competitor to unsplash. A separate non-profit entity to limit liability sounds like a smart move. Or maybe I'm reading a cynical motive when there isn't one :)

How do you deal with people lying on their resume? I'm curious what your hiring process looks like.

It would help things immensely if people were more honest. Sometimes it takes more than a week to verify everything on their resume. References often don't get back ASAP. It's not like we won't ever find out that they were lying about their previous job. There are always some applicants who talk a lot, take credit for others' work, but can't actually anything.

The US does have those unicorns, and while its great for the people that got rich off of it, I don't think its been a net societal benefit. People are conditioned to expect all software to be free. This kills the ability of long term stability for a company - and forces them to spy on the users or the usual vendor lock in. How many SMBs in the US are making decent money selling software?

Not being able to take a day off sounds horrible. Is it possible to pre-record and queue up videos or is it always live?

Why didn't you install Ubuntu to begin with? It looks like you already knew Windows was "ad-ridden and keylogger infested spyware".
