Here’s a great article about their organizational structure: https://hbr.org/2020/11/how-apple-is-organized-for-innovatio...

Like their products or not, Apple has been extraordinarily successful both in terms of sales and critical reception of their products compared to most companies.

They have flops too (Siri, HomePod, others), but are mostly successful. The recent buzz about the M1 chip is a perfect example of their industry-leading engineering.
If the DNS query is done with DoT or DoH the server name is not exposed.
Great video. I am glad that we are still making serious strides in nuclear energy research. Nuclear is the way to reduce carbon emissions in a substantially significant to turn back adverse climate change.
That's sad to hear. I've had good luck up to the past month with NEC. The 65" 4k display we bought for our boardroom is blessedly feature-free
Solid push into Arduino IDE territory as well.
How do you prevent the execs from delegating decision making (on paper) to engineering, and then forcing them to make certain decisions?
The same issue occurs on 4.4.4 (and other versions), so it's not specific to 5.0.1.

Well... I'd never seen it happen at all in the previous releases. And with 5.0.1, I saw it happen twice in three days.

Analyzing the causes of plane crashes saves lots of lives. You can't do that with a disappeared plane.
My god, has anyone seen the awful new photo display?
+1

Although I understand their servers are taking a hammering at the moment
I'll second that.

What I really want though is something that will let me continue to use the Delicious extension for Firefox.
NYC has some of the best public schools in the world. Bronx Science has had more graduates who won Nobel prizes (6) than most countries: http://msgboard.snopes.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=print_... These public schools require competitive entry and are open to anyone in NYC who qualifies.

Granted, NYC also has some of the worst public schools in the world, too.
Yes, that was a cool one.

murder: pretty cyclical and consistent
rape: massive spike in the 80s and 90's, and declining a bit

fraud: blip after WW2, then pretty stable up to around 1995

nazi: interesting trends there

oil: some more interesting trends, a large spike in the early 80's

Interesting that the trends for freedom and liberty differ quite significantly, although they have some of the same 'humps'. Liberty has an uptick after 2000, whereas freedom does not.
Do you work with AWS?
Have a look at zsh, you can execute your current command as root quite easy. Put

sudo-command-line() {
[[ -z $BUFFER ]] && zle up-history
[[ $BUFFER != sudo\ * ]] && BUFFER="sudo $BUFFER"
}
zle -N sudo-command-line
bindkey "^Os" sudo-command-line

into your zshrc, enter the command and press ctrl+o s et voila ;0

For more cool stuff regarding zsh have a look at http://grml.org/zsh/ or for other nice keybindings http://grml.org/zsh/grmlzshrc.html
Although I don't do it (maybe I'll start now), setting up a WordPress blog and using the Press This functionality is a pretty nice way to do it.
I know it's probably not a popular option, but I use the bookmark syncing features of MobileMe. Always backed up, always in sync with my phone. Works great.
Amazon | SDE II | Detroit, Phoenix, Seattle, remote (US) | Full-time

The Cross-Border Listings team (within Amazon's Selling Partner Services group) is looking for qualified devs who want to work at scale on the core of Amazon's retail flywheel. We work on systems that have a huge, direct impact on Amazon's business, serving selling partners who sell on Amazon all over the world.

Our team values work-life balance, and we prioritize work that keeps that balance in place (e.g. automation, tech debt). Our standups are almost always less than 15 minutes, and we don't do meetings on Fridays.

Tech stack is Java, JS/TypeScript, AWS.

Location is preferably within reasonable driving distance to locations above, but willing to consider candidates anywhere in the US. Also: open to candidates who might want to commute to Detroit from Windsor (this is niche, I know!).

I am the direct hiring manager of these positions. If you're interested, apply here:

https://amazon.jobs/jobs/1350860

Yeah, these job descriptions are pretty generic--I didn't write them! If you have questions, please reach out to me directly: first_3_letters_of_my_HN_username@amazon.com
US was never really dependent on Saudi oil, and US governments knew it.

Even before the shale oil, US had no problem to expand its oil production to match its own consumption.

What prevented US oil industry to just work was a very strange regulatory framework where it was both shielded from competition, and prevented from expanding, keeping it in subservient role as a supplier to US strategic petroleum reserve.

For all intents, and purposes the US legislation only benefitted Saudi interests after 1975.
Keeping up with it is a full-time job and I already have one.
Maybe I am getting old and boring, but I feel like I am stuck on HN + Reddit.
I wish I could say that I've seen a profile like this that looked good...

But I haven't.

Your blood-shot eyes staring back at me just doesn't say "this is an awesome design". It mostly screams you were more excited by realizing you could do this ... than you ever thought about whether I'd want to see your eyes in particular.

Personally, I do wish fb would allow enough customization so people could create good looking like this...
ProfileGen.com is in my opinion a much easier version
The link points out that the tests were run against rather dated versions of competing browsers.

Well, whatever you did worked. Thank you, I enjoyed the article.
"But if it came down to lots of time alone or lots of time with forced contact, which would you pick?"

As terrible as prison is, almost no one actually prefers solitary confinement (introverts included). It's easy to say that you can handle solitary confinement until you end up spending practically 24 hours a day alone (23 of which are in one tiny room) for even a month or so.

I honestly don't think this law is related to sex offenses. I think it's related to the fact that adults can easily push children away, and then the taxpayer's money is not being used for the intended purpose. Adults have plenty of places they can go. Kids, not so much.

(Similarly, if you're 40 years old, you can't go to the public kindergarten. It's because the program is designed to educate 5-year-olds, not 40-year-olds. Nothing to do with sex, it's merely practicality.)
Google Voice? I use it for similar criteria...
A font file is not just a compilation of vector shapes. It is essentially a small (but potentially complex) program describing their proper rasterization under different conditions. Just copying the shapes as rendered at a certain size by a certain interpreter doesn't really give you a copy of the original font.
I think programmers are special kind of engineers. We could call them software engineers. My feeling is that the word 'hacker' is invented to state that hackers are somehow more than engineers. As if engineers were dumb people without creativity, who can only follow predefined processes. As if there were no engineer geniuses. As if engineers could not be enthusiast and as if sometimes engineering could not be treated as art the same way programming can be. 'Hacker' is a romantic word some people use to describe _themselves_, not a word society describes these people. In my opinion this wording is not really necessary. There were/are/will-be bad/good/exceptionally-good engineers in history of mankind. I just have a feeling that 200 years later the word 'hacker' will be forgotten but the word engineer will still live. (This is just my feeling.)
I'm not saying anything about coolness or quality of sites, or that some sites should exist and others shouldn't, I'm not sure where you're getting that in my comment. I'm just saying that fragmentation of a community can be a very real problem, as with more subcommunities, people stop visiting the main one, and the main becomes less diverse. Your original comment trivializes that, because "you can visit more than one site".

If the designers of Hacker News want a community that's segmented, let them do it. I don't think it's right to use the HN name to do it for them, though.
Intellij is written in Swing. Yes on memory hog, no on terrible UI. It works quite well across platforms (I'm using the Windows and Mac version)
If your product is something that market already demands, one idea is to set up a site and run a small ad campaign.

I also recommend Rob Walling's book Start Small Stay Small. https://startupbook.net/

The book is mostly a practical marketing guide written for developers who are trying to bootstrap a business.

Walling argues for a market-first approach: identify a good niche market of potential customers first (enough potential customers, you have a practical way to reach those customers through search/advertising/niche community newsletters or forums or so on, not too much competition). Then, before building product, run experiment to validate or reject your product idea based on market demand & estimated conversion.
If we are going all in on “project cull the old”, we’re missing a few big things.

One that jumps out is a blanket, age-based DNR. A 70 year old who has been refused the shot but subsequently develops Covid is significantly more likely to be hospitalized than your “prime of their life young person”, for whom Covid isn’t nearly as likely to be severe.

This means they’re going to be an overall resource strain on the system. It wouldn’t be logical to refuse vaccinations for those most likely to be seriously sickened by the disease but then to try to provide advanced life support when they need it.

We will need to convert some percentage of hospital staff into “Covid hospice workers” to allow those who are sick to die as peacefully as one can when their lungs are shutting down.
The cards are locked to a few restaurants.
Sure, it’s also worth nothing that satellites over the ocean may not have a direct connection to a ground station or eventually be relaying long distance connections.

That said, a ground station on the coast connecting to a satellite over the ocean has a huge impact on density calculations as so many people live along coastlines. Especially so when looking at Hawaii and other islands.

However, this is all rough order of magnitude calculations. Starlink’s consolation is optimized for it’s potential customers rather than simply aiming for uniform global coverage. https://i1.wp.com/starnationsnews.com/wp-content/uploads/202...
No traditional adjuvants is interesting, but I know the RNA is modified. It's not the exact mRNA spike protein. I believe they modify the amino acids to modulate immune reaction which may accomplish the same thing.

The immune system doesn't like non-human RNA. Certain sequences, or even abundance of certain amino acids out of balance with human codes can set it off. Special RNA coding may be used in place of traditional adjuvants but much of it is proprietary at this point
I thought the article was too dismissive of concepts like MVC, immediate mode and functional programming, given that ideas coming from those directions might offer the answers the original author is searching for.

The separation of an underlying data model from any particular way of presenting its current state is a powerful idea that has proven its value many times. We’ve used it to build user interfaces, from early GUIs when we didn’t yet have the kinds of libraries and platform APIs we enjoy today, through games with unique rendering requirements and a need to keep frame rates up, to modern web and mobile app architectures. The same principle is useful for building non-user interfaces, too, in areas like embedded systems where you are “presenting” by controlling some hardware component or distributed systems where you are “presenting” to some other software component as part of the larger system.
The market is always right pretty much by definition.

The “external factors” you speak of are the market conditions in which the market operates. You can change the external factors and the market will rebalance to a new equalibrium but that doenst mean the market was wrong before and correct now.

People couldn't behave back then for real reasons, most people that are the problem today are just spoiled brats. Back then they didn't have the century of epidemiology knowledge that was outright ignored and trivialized.
Just want to add that being a hacker has less to do with the tools you choose to use and more to do with how you approach problems.

Using Windows is not a mark of shame or incompetence. Using Windows because you can't comprehend anything but point-and-click interfaces probably is. In my opinion at least...
Ah yes!
What if AWS changes their privacy policy
The market is so small, and there appears to be lots of premature optimization of the checkbook.

I remember many years ago trying out purify, and it revolutionized my debugging. The problem seemed to be that the program I wrote could be debugged by everyone - if you just got everyone a per-user license.

It would have been hard enough to justify a license for me (a person at the bottom with no power), it was impossible to justify a license for everybody.
> That's not how .nyc is used or is expected to be used. It's a top-level domain, not a dotless host name.

While it is prohibited by the ICANN policy [1], it is not strictly enforced so that there are multiple TLDs with A/AAAA records. They traditionally could be resolved with a trailing dot (thus it is not a dotless host name, that would have no dot), but nowadays many browsers refuse to resolve them without an explicit scheme. But they do still exist: try `http://pn./` for example.

I hope this never happens. It's rare that something doesn't become worse when it becomes mainstream online.
Not all big tech companies are the same. My understanding is that Google is much less stressful with similar pay.
Super interesting company!

You've gotta figure out how to get these into retail. If I had a UTI right now, I'd want to go straight to Walgreens and get a strip in right now! And I might run a few stops signs on the way.
At this point any submission related to battery tech research should be removed.
I went onto study physics, I used to think about it every now and then. It’s not easy to characterise / quantify an answer but there was no experience of time, I was not aware enough of externalities to know what slow motion would be as that implies a connection to outer time. I don’t remember a cradle to present run through of memories but I certainly saw / experienced a slideshow and then ‘real time’ moments of positive interactions with people, which then moved on. Was that seconds or moments or just memory clusters firing I don’t know. Enough to re live the experience with a different perspective. of course early memories are not (for me)as complex or emotionally involving or nuanced with language so the bulk of memories were from later life. I have no recollection of the composition of ‘the slideshow’ but do remember for eg love for my mother in certain ‘scene(s)’ and that was more of a ‘real-time’ segment. A precession of memories certainly indicates time flow. I was dimly aware of the ground at the last moment as it came towards me and thinking back on it the scenes faded and real time came back along with my sense of the outside world aka the ground.
>The Colombian camming industry alone, which is unregulated but legal

How can the industry be unregulated if it's legal? I doubt it has the clout to get itself exempted from whatever the normal employment regulations in that country are.

To be clear, that was mostly a rhetorical question and I think the author's implied assumption that every industry deserves bespoke regulation by default is asinine. A small industry that's not causing big problems doesn't need legislative attention.
What’s your point? Mine is handset tied v virtual numbers. Banks of course ban virtual numbers because of fraud.
Thank you :) (recognize the username)

Both of these are things that I (massively) failed to address early on and am actually now striving towards.

I'm actually pretty happy at this point. If my wage were raised just slightly, and the threat of running out of (non-investor) money was not looming, I would be 100 percent happy. Wouldn't take millions, but nonetheless its good to aim high. :)

Currently working on putting out at least a minimally viable game to accompany the engine, which will be released with source this coming March (fingers crossed). I'm taking community input for the most part as to what they want to see in the game, filtered by my judgment.

Minecraft has actually been a great case study for me in terms of marketing. There are many Minecraftian games, but none have really reached the success of Minecraft (even though many clones generated millions), and you have to ask why that is. There are many theories, but mine is that:

A) Minecraft's success was a self-fulfilling prophecy (the more successful it was, the more news it generated, and thus the more sales it drove). This is not to say, at all, that any of its success was not well-deserved.

B) It appealed to the younger generation in a (say, ages 4 to 14) in a way that many people are still failing to grasp. A huge amount of marketing revolved around user-made Youtube videos. I don't think I can do this, but still it is interesting to analyze. It was immediately accessible but showed its potential for further development which is why it was so successful in pioneering the early access model.

C) Markus Persson is a likeable guy, and an entertaining read on Twitter. He created a culture around Minecraft. He is also genuine - he really takes part in the indie community, cares about what people say, and actively develops even though he no longer needs to. Another part of this is because he has befriended and surrounded himself with other interesting people, and curates interesting content. He has almost 2 million followers at this point, including the vast majority of the gaming press, so single tweets can have powerful effects.
Octal was far more common than hex back then, due to machines with a wordsize that was a multiple of 3 bits; hence Unix permissions, coming from the 18-bit PDP-7, also inheriting that convention.
Strangely enough, ECC is supported on some Core i3 models.
Small pet peeve: http://sassnotsass.com/
I wish I could say the same. While it is a great event and everything rdl said is true, it seems like it's suffering from trying to do too much at once. I didn't walk away feeling I had to go again this year.
Have you seen that code?

I just searched through sys:network; and sys:ip-tcp; in Genera 8.3 and the only use of READ was in an Eval server.
Because they are in the title in the original article. On HN, titles should generally be used as they stand originally and not modified, which is what zeckalpha means when he or she refers to editorializing.
Consumer Reports is targeted at people in the US too.

Taxes in other countries means that cars get different engine, so for example in the past we used to get Audi with the power tweaked down in Belgium.

Also Tesla is a lot more practical in Belgium (small dense country) than in Spain (where energy is expensive, there is no supercharger and your regular electricity contract is 15A (220V), so not enough to charge a Tesla properly in the average dwelling)

There are so many factors, it is better for consumer magazine to focus on a single country.
Going from "I could buy a boat" to "I should buy a boat". What a hero
Because I'm an idiot and meant conspicuous. I'll be editing that now.
The misclicking is mostly due to the fact that the targets are square images with extra padding, combined with sloppy nested tables and piles of inline elements that freak out further in mobile webkit.

If you're going to use tables for layout, use them consistently all the way down — don't just decide to party like it's 1994 and throw in some line breaks. Clean up the padding to rationalize the hit targets (could even use characters like ∆ and ∇ to make them non-square).
Put it on flippa.com and let folks here know. Spend a bit of time on your flippa description. It will make a difference. You have to stand out from all of the crap sold on flippa.

It's "possible" ... I saw a program about CCD on PBS. There are parts of China where they've killed off all the bees in traditional farming areas. The video showed entire fields of workers holding jars of pollen and taking feather dusters, swathing them in the pollen, then waving them around the flowers.

Very labor intensive.
Seems to comply pretty well with this http://www.vincos.it/world-map-of-social-networks/

Notice the conspicuous absence of China, Russia and Brazil.
Why is the title here on HN “Barely”? Because it’s less than 1%?
Solid basic template and core items to focus on. I've also found a lot of value from the free resources and webinar replays on optimization at http://www.marketingexperiments.com/. Lot's of case-studies and examples with specific conversion change percentages.
Why auspicious?
Its nice, some sounds would be really cool, for instance a background music, a click sound and a boom sound for the chain combos :)

Nice work!
Reminds me of that scene in Jurassic Park
Yep, that'd be an excellent way to word it. As I said I don't disagree with the point, I just dislike how Linus addresses people sometimes.
Isn't that a design flaw in Heroku? Shouldn't you be able to log into Heroku and change stuff like that even if the entire of Amazons cloud service is down?
coincidentally, this week I used myGengo's services for the first time, after wanting to get a web app translated. Seriously impressed, speedy service, and the strings tool makes life very easy. Highly recommend - and can't complain about the price either :-)
a few years ago, i proposed a -x switch to ruby that would run a "puts $_.instance_eval { ... }" over each line of ARGF, but matz didn't care for it. wouldn't have done as much as pru does, but it would have had the advantage of being available by default with just a standard ruby install.
Or does it? How can you find evidence for a fourth spacial dimension? We could be living on a "bubble" of three-dimensional space as a fourth is filling in undetectable from us.

It might help if you tell us why you want to know.
Yup I've heard some of those stories. A 7-year exercise period certainly gives employees more options.

It should be mentioned that Certificate Transparency would not have prevented this attack (nor any other such attack).

Google has nothing to gain from CT beyond where they are right now: knowing who issued the cert.
