Yep. I'm against unethical behavior. Seems like HN generally agrees. I'm also against medical cartels too. I don't like Samsung or Nintendo for the same reasons I don't like Apple. Any specific questions?

Sure. The parent claimed there wasn't time. Btw have you considered something drastically different than your current code? Embedded comes to mind, it's half electrical engineering and lots of instant gratification. But in general

I should put an astrik that this is only feasible when working 40 hours a week. Beyond that and the burnout is real.

I can either build a consumer friendly embedded project, or I can build one that I need to recompile when it's time to change settings. Both count for the interview purposes.

I wish caffeine made me feel anything. I would need over 24 oz of coffee for anything. But at that point I'm pushing potentially unsafe levels.. I wish we were taught more about taking drugs. Use caffeine since it's legal, for an

As someone with kids and side projects, I have doubts about "not having time". I could do 2 hours of productivity after the kids go to sleep and I'd still have 2 hours for entertainment. I exercise too. So let's make it

Just like they opened their patents? I'm not holding my breath, company lost my Trust a few years ago.

I find that these people don't read studies but rather treat scientists as Science. Scientists are Authority, not science. It was mind boggling how many scientists made this mistake.

Did something similar. I didn't care if the fee was like $30. But I needed their investment/small business tier and it was in the multiple hundreds of dollars. Switched to a different service. I know people want privacy, but I&#x2

I think many people are trying to determine policy decisions. Do you shut down a country, causing starvation and lack of medical care OR do you attempt business as usual with masks? People are going to die, the question is how to limit it,

This is irresponsible. Especially as policy decisions are made from it.

I was literally flagged on HN last year from pointing out potential side effects of lockdowns. It was weird being pro science and seeing this turn political. It really showed which of my friends could think scientifically for themselves, an

I read/listen to lots of nonfiction books(30 so far this year) and the only benefit of buying books instead of using a Library is being able to write notes in them. With digital copies I'll screenshot a page. Not sure what is bett

>get a license Need a license. Need to hire cartel workers. How do you not see the problem?

Is there anything we can do to stop these cartels? The poor have nothing to worry about, Medicare is fantastic and keeps a large percentage of the population complacent in the feeding of the physician, hospital, and pharmacy cartels.

by deregulateMed 5y ago
Sure, but their marketing still claims security.

The article doesn't mention android again. And I'm not even defending android, I'm attacking Apples unethical marketing practices of claiming security and privacy, but failing.

I think at the present time, software can be more like science than sociology. Both suffer from abstraction. I think psychology when closer to biology is similar to programming like running the programming language C experiments.
22.
by deregulateMed 5y ago
Despite insistence of programmers wanting to be scientists and engineers, it's not true to the definition. Maybe safety critical C or assembly is engineering. Maybe testing code for speed can be considered science. By the time any usef

Yep at that point you can have technicians designing molds. Stick your engineers on projects that require correct answers.

I think this is more similar to science than engineering.

From the Amnesty report shown by another commentator, there were a bunch of compromised Apple services.

Holy shit, there's literally a dozen of Apple products exploited. It's not a single "Apple music exploit", it's dozens of separate services. Music, messenger, safari, iOS, etc... I never want to hear Apple cares abo

Seriously. I think about how Linux will be around forever, but Windows and MacOS could be gone/corrupt in as little as 5 years.

If you ever want to reconsider the topic of SWE not being Engineers, here's an example. It's typically not feasible to "wing it". Cost, time, and Effort make it so you need to be correct the first time. mistakes do happe
