Here's an idea: implement a static HTML page with a counter. The counter is updated every 15 minutes. You serves this HTML page 400 million times per second. It needs at least 99.99 uptime. When the counter is updated, ensure new reque

Sources please. Edit: The OP makes an extraordinary claim about remote work and reduction in CO2. I would assume members of HN would be intellectually curious enough to want to dig deeper.

I can't find a widely accepted statistic but these numbers should illustrate the point: - A 2016 study by the Center for Court Innovation found that between 8,900 and 10,500 children, ages 13 to 17, are commercially exploited each year

I don't think this issue is widespread enough and harmful enough to society to risk the privacy of all Apple users. Full stop. I haven't been particularly impressed with Apple's security record[1] lately, and I don't tru

The trade-off here is to get pedophiles off of Apple services and on to something else, we give Apple an entry point into examining our private data. I understand it's hashes now, that does nothing to prevent this from expanding. "

Trade-offs are the heart of this profession. Developers who stick blindly to DRY, SOLID, any dogma really, come off as inexperienced.

Home schooling your children too? School districts requiring vaccination records for all sorts of things. What invasion of privacy. It’s like they do it to protect other children.

There's a lot of implicit loyalty here. You're very loyal to Intel even when they didn't treat you the best. Why? What happens when you underperform, will they show you the same loyalty?

Agreed with everything in this post. Engineering compensation at big tech is too rigid to award high performers adequately. Some folks double the impact of others in the same role / level, and make 20% more, at most. Leaving and joini

Where in their reply did it say they weren't a touch typist? They most likely touch type with 2-3 fingers. Not that shocking if you learned to use computers without typing classes.

People are walking out? Based on the former Blizzard employees, mostly white males, who have commented in previous threads, it didn't seem like a big deal. Wonder why they're walking out on a nothingburger.
