Privacy, yes. Security qua security (ie, not counting security loss due to privacy loss) it's pretty tight between Android and iOS: https://zerodium.com/program.html

That's an awesome idea! I'm looking forward to the day where beamed power (e.g., MASER) will allow us to ditch most of the batteries too, with a tow trailer battery pack for trips into the deep country. It makes no sense to me to

Eh—I don't know. Code a test or two and something basic with just the lang? Sure. The whole stack? Takes about a month to get productive and about three months to really internalize. Think interned strings in Python vs symbol exhaustio

It can be, yeah. Timers and todo lists help. Same thing with setting boundaries with people and understanding your needs to help others effectively. Edit: Also, I feel like my ADHD is at least partially treated by the above and I don't

I've gone back and forth from being in management and just a straight up IC. As an IC, I love "work wherever you want and we also have an office and we trust you." But that said: People that judge managers that want a return

If you mean PPP, then the reason is simple. How much a janitor is paid to clean a research lab's washroom doesn't materially affect the quality of the research produced. There are other measures that look at things like papers cit

That's factually untrue. China and Japan alone match the USA, and when adjusting for percent of GDP the USA isn't even in the top five countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_research_...

I understand you're the relative expert here, but even so I must disagree with your general thrust. I've been hospitalized in four different countries. The least sane was America. The sanest was a private hospital in England, but

I did learn lessons. I mistimed commodities and got burned. I mistimed the 2008 recession (thought it would be 2007) and the put options expired worthless (though still dodged the recession). But anytime I mention my gains on HN the crowd s

Is it hard to beat though? When I started just allocating money into tech stocks I, as a software guy, appreciated return went way, way, way up. Those Wall St quants can only appreciate M1 so far. They can't see the server farms 5 year

I know this is going to get laughed at, but you know how so many in our generation were like "oh man, it was SO EASY to start a tech startup back in the 80s and 90s compared to now!" Same thing is going to be said about how we had

Well, why not dump all the money into units then? Right? It's fundamentally about the adaptability not the defence depth.

In my opinion, this is a good thing. It's akin to disconnecting gas mains during a bombing run or similar. War is war and we need real defensive measures for broad cyberattack. If it gets misused then we'll protest, etc. Edit: You

Well, it's more that resource storage allows adaptivity rather than being a shock absorber, per se. For example, in the fog of war or the early game we don't know if the enemy is teching, econo-expanding, or rushing. In the mid-ga

I've come to heavily discount these types of studies. What makes an expert? What was the sample size of experts? What was the non-expert tool? Etc. There is such a thing as having common sense based on thoughtful life experience. Che

I'd wager it's for the same company for over 3 months or more and its for people you've worked with or for in the past that trust you for a domain specific issue that doesn't need 100% of your time. Like a cloud infra en

I'd prefer to keep my CV off of HN. It's a bit spicy. That said, the peak I've pulled down as a SRE is a total comp of CAD$600k a year and I'm presently a CTO of a barely-in-the-media startup. I'm doing ok.

I took over one because I was using it and it had a giant "LOOKING FOR MAINTAINER" in the README and it was interesting enough for me to want to maintain it. Basically, look around / do some targeted searches on GitHub /

Side gigs don't really earn much. If you've got a friend that you've worked with before and they have a startup or something, ask for some peanuts amount of equity as an hands on advisor. It'll do more for your CV than 2

Some things I'm silent about, other things I'm not. Articles like this often fail to differentiate that there usually isn't one large blob of people that are chatty about all the things all the time. Usually individuals have

I disagree. Most startups that YC has funded that became successful (Series B or higher) were written in Python or Ruby. Now you can say that this is a tradeoff for post Series B, and for that I don't know. I've never worked on a

Really? When I get to a new database and don't even know what data is stored where I don't write a test first. I write a bunch of SQL scripts and then maybe take it into a python toolkit for stats stuff. When training a classifier

This has been rehashed a million times. My view is that TDD is great for non-explorative coding. So data science -> way less TDD. Web APIs -> almost always TDD. That said, one of the things I think the vast majority of the leans anti-

Exactly. The vast majority of mom and pop investors don't hold voting shares. They're not connected to the board members. They don't control the corporations their investments are allocated to, other than very tangentially th
