It's not available on the Paraguayan App Store yet. The same thing happened with ChatGPT itself, it wasn't available in Paraguay for a couple of months and no explanation as to why. I get that it's a free research preview and they don't have to, but it would be nice if I could get these things when most others do.

I can switch stores but would need to cancel subscriptions.

I think it's only in the US at the moment

Does this affect contractors, or just employees? This year, I noticed Amazon hires international contractors for engineering roles and I don't think I saw that before. I wonder if Amazon is opening up more roles internationally (via contractors), while increasing wages of employees to retain folks in US/Canada/etc. I don't have any data to back this idea up, it's just a thought.

These things never apply to contractors.

This is eerily similar to videos forwarded on WhatsApp about "things you'd only understand if you were born in the <insert decade here>" :)

I did relate to it though. It would be apt for a video about things you'd only understand if you're a millennial.

I could see it being a pretty nifty series on the History Channel. "If you were 120 years old, this is what you'd remember from when you were 20"

> Moreover, I feel like it's going to be a big problem that the architecture you're deploying your code to is different than the one you are developing on.

iOS apps—which run on ARM chips inside iPhones—have all been developed on Intel-based Macs.

If you're speaking of the iOS simulator, that runs on x86, it doesn't emulate an ARM chip.

Where?

I think that the test cases included with packages might have the advantage of being able to obfuscate URLs or other strings as benign test dummy data.

This would be especially easy by using the technique called string sampling that the author mentions. I could choose a "Lorem ipsum" like text for use as dummy data, but ensure that the first letter of every word, when combined, forms the domain name of a server that will be used to download a second malicious payload.

Inverse: "A schrödinbug or schroedinbug . . . is a bug that manifests itself in running software after a programmer notices that the code should never have worked in the first place." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisenbug

According to Paraguayan news [1] (Spanish), the failure was on the Argentina side of the Yacyretá hydroelectric (which is shared by Argentina and Paraguay), not at the plant itself. Only a few Paraguayan towns close to the hydroelectric itself were affected, while Argentina and countries it resells electricity to were out of power.

I can confirm, at Paraguay, only two small towns (Pilar y Ayolas) where affected and for a short period of time. Source: I live at Paraguay.

Nice to see Paraguay present here on HN, I live here in Asunción.

I also heard of some people near Luque without power Sunday and Monday, but I'd guess it was an unrelated ANDE incident.

Slightly confusing how although the article's opening paragraph currently says "...an explicit order" from the state education department, it goes on to quote it later where it can be seen to be just a recommendation.

I found Susan Fowler's story quite interesting, as told on her blog: https://www.susanjfowler.com
