>Raw ingredients are pricy.

This is completely false. You should stop propagating things you don't know about.

Check out Efficiency Is Everything, you can eat for $1.50/day on raw ingredients.

That doesn't reduce the stigma.

I am annoyed waiting behind food stamp people at the grocery store making decisions between juice boxes and crackers at the checkout. Meanwhile I am too frugal to buy either of those.

My wife is treated like crap by Medicaid patients significantly more often than other patients.

There's a stigma that will exist regardless of the welfare state.

Same. Grew up generic middle class with frugal parents.

Too rich to get free money for college, too poor for my parents to have saved me anything. I was paycheck to paycheck for 3 years undergrad, and 3 years of wife's grad school.

Paycheck to paycheck doesn't even accurately define it. I didn't buy any luxuries like fast food or alcohol. Homemade everything.

Hmm a few days ago I posted about the overheating issue on m1 that is being talked about on Reddit and a few other websites.

I was flagged.

HN is carefully curated for our FAANG overlords.

> you do what you have to do.

No I don't.

Are you an iOS dev?

If someone figures out how to determine the stakes needed to rig up a cheap 51% attack, it breaks the network.

I haven't kept up with Ford, but I know they have lane keeping and some sort of adaptive cruise control.

That's Autopilot like anyone else has, it's just not marketed as autopilot.

Anyway, I don't care about Effonefittys, I want an 8 passenger Autopilot vehicle that I can buy used.

Well Tesla does it and their customers love waiting hours for software updates (I'm not being sarcastic, this is literally what we found through benchmarking)

I kept pleading that we don't have the marketing that Tesla has, our customers don't want to think about updates. Not to mention OTA costs money. Tesla can do it because they are sinking money and only have a few hundred thousand cars. My company sells millions of cars per year, OTA is significantly more expensive.

I'm not saying my company does OTA often, but the word Tesla cones up more often than it should.

Doubt.

CPU hasn't been the limiting hardware in a decade. I think Intel stagnated because people have prioritized spending money on GPUs, memory, and SSDs.

Even when I'm writing an intensive program, I'm using multiple cores, so a single threaded benefit is useless to me.

I have a half a mind to think the m1 is a marketing gimmick because making a better processor was low hanging fruit that CPU companies aren't trying to compete on(outside of price).

I can firmly say this does not match the United States at all.

Occasionally you have a need for an iOS dev, but outside of that Mac's are not used professionally.

Arduino?

Every embedded job I've had was exclusively Linux and MS.

Even the Apple fanboys at work knew better and accepted the reality of the situation.

Currently doing tools for a f500 and there's not a Mac in the office.

I have a high degree of skepticism. 0 Macs out of 6 companies, yet you say they are abundant? Doubt.

COVID caused people to avoid their cancer screening until it's too late, wealth inequality up, drug addictions, but we flattened the curve!

Half of our city's daycares went out of business, I now pay an extra $5000/year.

And flattening the curve didn't save my 80 year old relatives.

Both red and blue team should be fired. Elect scientists that won't overreact at fractions of a percent.

Bold claim considering it's for Front end work exclusively. I don't need to tell anyone here backend is all Linux, data is MS or Linux, embedded is never Mac, and (Physical) Engineering is MS.

Still front end FAANG is a tiny sliver of the population.

And users are significantly less likely to be doing Engineering/finance/etc... And more likely to be on Facebook during a college lecture.

This is me.

There's nothing more boring than those positions. (Or to me, unethical than working for the US government)

I'd much rather create something that benefits the world.

Maybe the partial solution is bug bounties? As much as I'd hate those positions, I actively poke around for holes in websites for fun. I love when I have to do business with a small poorly run website, seems you can always find something they don't want you to have access too. Most recently, no right click to save images, but chrome developer tools got me the high res version anyway!

Isn't it better to assume every major company is than to blindly assume good actors?

The only ones I company I can't imagine is doing this is Google. They have an Awful reputation. Their Fruit counterpart, Nintendo, Samsung, and more are suspiciously positive at anti consumer news.

If there are no changes to permissions, I'm pretty okay with this.

I know there can be hidden changes in privacy and I don't treat my like in 2021 with an expectation of privacy.

My bigger deal is that I'd like deterministic builds on fdroid.

If that was easier to do, by using a standard environment (VM?) my trust would be through the roof.

Also shout out to fdroid, bromite, and new pipe. Living the high life.
