I agree with your last sentence... It's weird though. Why won't smooth marketing talk work this time? It has worked many times, for many companies, independent of factual reason. What's particular about this time?

I understand the HN consensus about what actually went wrong inside Boeing. Maybe the HN consensus is right, maybe it isn't. What I find weird is that this time, the PR works differently.

In the real world I think there are 2 main use cases here.

# 1st) Using Google Spreadsheets as a CMS

In this case you'd store data in a Google Spreadsheet and retrieve the content before showing to the user. Probably it makes sense to put some durable caching in place so you can sync the cache offline and worry less about Google Spreadsheets API downtime, quotas or latency. In this scenario the app would only read data from the Spreadsheet and not write. It will probably not support writes consistently for anything more than a toy.

# 2nd) Use Google Drive to store user Data

The main difference here is that in this case it would make more sense to store the spreadsheet in the user account, not yours. You'd fetch the userData once he logs in your application. If this is the use case there are better things than writing spreadsheets to users Google Drive. There's actually a feature in Google Drive to store application data:

Though I agree with your point, yarn 1.0 was released in Sep 2017.

2 years is really not a long time, though it seems to be for the JS ecosystem.
It is more of a relation graph.

You identify the root variables/ideas on which the whole premise hinges. These ideas are absolute, assumed true without rationale and independent.

Then you establish dependent ideas and variables which are connected to these base variables along with a few minor isolated assumptions needed to support the structure. ( I mean it is not perfect, so the minor assumptions keep the whole thing form falling apart)

Once you have all the nodes, you connect new ideas as they come and as they fit into this view.

It is almost like a clustering task or think word2ve tsne visualization (https://miro.medium.com/max/3200/0*quUwP6EqEhFmNAqX)

Now you have a visualization, from something that never had any images to begin with. The distance between nodes can indicate how strong the relation is and colors can indicate positivity/negativity.

Once you have that, it becomes incredibly easy to hold very complex ideas in your head and it makes it a breeze to explain something. Just start from the root node and work your way up to the leaf, and the thing explains itself.
The effect is measured in percentages.
The biggest hurdle for Wayland adoption is the absolutely brain dead "security model". Commonly used features like hotkey daemons, push to talk, screen recording/streaming/sharing, window management, clipboard history manager or even Wallpapers need to managed by the particular implementation (of there are many) of the Wayland server itself and have mostly no common protocols, at least not official. And when all those protocols after a long process are finally finished I have serious doubts that Wayland will be either less bloated and "messy" or more secure than current X11.

The non-existent X11 security model is not really ideal but at least you could mitigate the problem there with access control hooks and as long as you use trusted software (which is 99.9% the case on a typical Linux system) you can use all the above mentioned features today without having too much headaches.
My understanding is Google wants to do exactly what I want it to do: not share any information about me with its advertisers. It can't though because Google customers demand accountability and audit ability.

If ads just showed up on the screen and didn't execute arbitrary JavaScript or phoned home without me purposefully clicking it, I like to believe I wouldn't be so adverse to ads.

If a huge part of the market can't have ads that phone home or execute arbitrary JavaScript, Google can offer slimmed down ads as a replacement.

I would welcome this change if it happens.
freedesktop have had success in standardising the Linux desktop. I fail to see why gnome, KDE, etc wouldn't eventually standardise around a common screenshot protocol.
The average person isn’t racist, isn’t sexist, and mostly just wants a decent deal for everyone. Unfortunately, those don’t make for attention-grabbing news headlines.
Patrick Stewart touched on the topic of going bald in an excerpt from an interview on the BBC (Parkinson) [1]. It's pretty funny.

That's hard to do because all of those systems are intertwined. If you use the Montana DMV program, and you want people who get DUIs to have their driver's license suspended, now you have to use the Montana Penal System program. Except Montana's Penal System has a bunch of exceptions written into it for laws that can be either a misdemeanor or a felony, and they don't allow any time off for good behavior. So now are you going to adopt Montana's laws too? There's tax code stuff in there too, so I guess we're lumping in the Montana tax system as well.

I think the problem is that unlike our more notable branches, we don't hire experts in the field. I don't mean they're incompetent at technology, but that a problem like this really exists at the intersection of government and technology. We keep hiring general-purpose contractors to build things like this, and then we're shocked when it falls apart in the environment governments exist in.

We need companies that specialize in this intersection. Companies that can keep public sentiment in mind and build an architecture that's flexible in the places where society is. It's the same way that most of us in general purpose IT try to build systems that can adapt to changes in the IT landscape. Put it in Docker so we can run it on a cloud, on bare metal, on k8s and probably on whatever's next. Governments struggle to pivot like that due to funding (how do you argue for funding for features since you can't earn revenue?), and because a lot of it is legislated out of their control. Learning to read the public sentiment is just like us reading trends in a newsletter.
My children, like most middle-class children in Sweden, are breastfed. So I guess I'm about as qualified as you to talk about it.

AWS crushes it with customer service. Google is a PITA.

Is it possible to make a cryptocurrency that does "real" work as its proof-of-work: work which is computationally intensive, but it solves some real life problems instead of "wasting" the energy?
Exactly.

As a service owner of some fairly significant technology services, every time one of my colleagues “fixes” some business problem with an enterprise IT system, it’s measurably worse than a well-defined excel driven process.

My favorite was when our travel and expense system moved to some Oracle monstrosity, and we literally hired full time staff to data enter expenses that were submitted on paper because field service folks were spending 5-10 hours a week on expense submission.

Another great example is when almost anything is “improved” by some sort of quick and dirty interim servicenow task.
Buy my new book to find out! Or something along those lines.

2005? That was WAY past its prime. That started in around 2001 for me in North Jersey and existed until around 2003.
Fair enough :). The problem of manipulation is something I can't really wrap my head around completely. To add another example supporting your point, I do at times care about scarcity information (especially when I need something within next week or two and I can't risk shop running out of a product and not restocking it fast enough) - but your comment reminded me that those can easily be gamed (especially if seller is less than honest).

I honestly don't know how to reconcile my own ideals with day-to-day capitalism. Brick&mortar stores all around not only manipulate, but sometimes blatantly cheat people. I realized recently that I probably couldn't open a store myself - my own conscience would run me bankrupt pretty quickly. I'm not made for this age ;).
The reference to the warm/cold beverage study reminded me that in the last few years there have been experiments demonstrating that many of these priming studies got their desired results by failing to double blind.

I don't see an article on the flaws in that study in a quick search, but here is a similar one:

You can also use L2TP IPSEC. Use PPTP for devices that dont support L2TP.
Apps behave the same way that other kinds of media does online:

1. sell for rock bottom prices
2. become a hit or don't
3. their popularity if any is short lived and highest when they debut

It may be the case that Apple is fine with this phenomenon, but its a pretty big leap to say they are creating it.
Sim accuracy could affect times either way (also some sims are pretty darn accurate). I suspect the biggest difference is the risk taking aspect. Sim drivers don't have to think about safety at all.
Well, you feel it but in a different way. People spend a lot of money on Force Feedback wheels, with the fancier ones running into 4 figures.

Through the wheel, you're expected to feel everything including tyre grip, slip, road conditions, etc.
This is something you could only claim to believe if you paid no attention to the way people actually use the term.
I personally don't think options are usually a good deal unless you believe that you'll be working for the next Google, Facebook, etc. I worked for a company that was hot as pizza cheese on your gums straight from the oven, but I didn't take options because of past experience and advice from others, and in the end, I was glad that I didn't. Despite its growth, it mostly fizzled, and in the process of that growth, it took on a great deal of investment, and those options were diluted like nobody's business.

But, if you really like the opportunity and believe in it, and your family isn't sacrificed, then go for it. You only live once (well at least that's what I believe).
I don't think that's true when you have incentives so that you make some proportion of the $5 each time you win, and don't have to pay any of the $100 when you lose.
ars? biased against apple? surely you troll.
In the late 80's and early 90's, people were talking about the finer grained capitalism in Japan. Groups inside corporations could develop working relationships with other groups inside the corporation or with outsourcers. That's also how it works in the US, but the corporation and divisions within large corporations act as barriers, making transactions and projects between such groups awkward.

From what I've seen, todays corporations should act more like a network and less like a monolithic entity. I've been inside one Fortune 500 company that tried to set top-down standards for software development. (All ye shall use this messaging, that database, this webserver, that programming language.) Everyone knew it was a joke and ignored it until it went away. I've been inside another corporation where the corporation merely mandated standards for sharing data between systems. As a result, the dynamic changed from everyone protecting their turf, to everyone trying to be as useful to as many others as possible.
Actually, most of these "wishlist items" are not relevant for the core IPv6 protocol (as in subset that needs to be understood by routers) and deal mainly with end hosts. But what is relevant to cost of migration is exactly the larger address space, most high-performance routers do almost everything in custom hardware.

Most important part of this cost-wise are FIB lookups, with FIB being typically implemented as specialized content addressable memory chip, which due to it's nature is pretty expensive (it is one of things that you cannot reasonably implement in programmable logic) to redesign for larger address space (and impossible to upgrade without throwing out whole router). On the other hand, header decoding are usually implemented in some programmable logic or directly in software so, that can be field-upgraded with relative ease. So in the "Carrier grade" and "L3 switch" categories you get things that are new and capable of IPv6, things that simply cannot be upgraded and devices that can be upgraded to do IPv6 routing in software (at great performance overhead)
I have several fake Twitter and Facebook accounts I keep around for exactly this reason. I certainly wouldn't connect my real accounts without knowing exactly what they plan (not) to do with my identity.

Edit: "I love Dropbox because it gives me free space even when I connect fake twitter and facebook accounts. :)"
You get an upvote for initiative. But, I don't see the use of it in its current state. Maybe you could turn it into a wishlist app or something and monetize it by affiliate sales (referrals)? Even better if you incorporate game mechanics. Good luck.
I've had the link forwarded to me in an email, posted to my Facebook wall, sent to my mobile phone and even handed to me manually, written on a piece of paper. (Really. Who writes these days?)

It is in the 1st Freakonomics book. The post is obviously bait to get traffic.

Recruiters are a middleman; they get approached by people offering jobs, and by people wanting jobs. Some are better than others, just like in every industry.

Not everyone looking for a job is visible to all employers, and vice versa - recruiters fill that gap.

"In any case, suggesting that people are advocating for 'unlimited' immigration is a bit disingenuous as it implies a practically infinite supply of new immigrants."

You might find this article of interest [1], since it counters both these points. Here are a few quotes, first advocating for unlimited immigration, and second suggesting that there is a practically infinite supply of immigrants.

1. "The gains to eliminating migration barriers amount to large fractions of world GDP—one or two orders of magnitude larger than the gains from dropping all remaining restrictions on international flows of goods and capital... For the elimination of trade policy barriers and capital flow barriers, the estimated gains amount to less than a few percent of world GDP. For labor mobility barriers, the estimated gains are often in the range of 50–150 percent of world GDP."

2. "The Gallup World Poll finds that more than 40 percent of adults in the poorest quartile of countries “would like to move permanently to another country” if they had the opportunity, including 60 percent or more of in Guyana and Sierra Leone... The size of these constraints is apparent in the annual U.S. Diversity Visa Lottery, which allocates permanent emigration slots mainly to developing countries. In fiscal year 2010, this lottery had 13.6 million applications for 50,000 visas (U.S. Department of State, 2011)—272 applicants per slot."

Here is a back-of-the-envelope calculation from the paper:

"We can check these calculations on the back of the metaphorical envelope. Divide the world into a “rich” region, where one billion people earn $30,000 per year, and a “poor” region, where six billion earn $5,000 per year. Suppose emigrants from the poor region have lower productivity, so each gains just 60 percent of the simple earnings gap upon emigrating—that is, $15,000 per year. This marginal gain shrinks as emigration proceeds, so suppose that the average gain is just $7,500 per year. If half the population of the poor region emigrates, migrants would gain $23 trillion—which is 38 percent of global GDP."

They were stealing the talent.
Because they save money - as they will not pay salaries and taxes on this effort and then when it matures they'll likely appropriate the solution and boast how M1 is great for developers. This should be illegal. In my country a person cannot work for a company for free, they need to receive at least a minimum wage. This port is essentially unpaid and untaxed work for Apple.
I mean, if one doesn't want to use an app that solves their problem just because they think the guy might be advertising it like that... I don't know what to say.
Just an idea, but would it be possible to say "coqlang", the say way we say golang for Go? Or does that still sound offensive? That may solve a part of the problem without a complete renaming.
Given Chrome's market share, that is mostly Google.

The irony that IE fighters are the same that helped Google reached their position, because "developer tools" and "don't like FF UI changes".

Now don't complain, how is it again? Ah, Chrome is available as open source so it isn't comparable to IE.
Wait... How can 1 Hidden layer be called DEEP neural network? I thought the whole "deep" thing was about having lots of hidden layers.

It's like saying we have a super fast fibonacci algorithm, but we can only show it for n=1.
C is/was used for tons of Unix userspace programs that have no issue being written in something like Go. IMO this "systems" term has become a red herring and should be retired in favour of just naming concrete domains in a given discussion.

I usually don’t draw diagrams, but my mind works better with what I usually call “tiny examples”: working code unrelated to the main codebase. Most of the time I have pen and paper with me, but I never do anything fancy with it. The advantage of that is most of the times, when I’m done, I need only to copy the example to the actual codebase with small changes.

This process helps me in so many different ways, and seems so productive, but I’ve never found anybody that uses such an approach. I would love to discuss it further with other people so that I can improve it.

I'm a UX/UI designer with about almost a year of experience in the field. After 5 years in marketing I made a career change to UX/UI Design. I'm keen about solving design problems while working in a creative environment. I'm excited about learning new design trends and building products that bring value to the world. I'm searching for internship opportunities or junior product designer roles where I can meet people in the field and continue to improve my design skills.

I used matomo once for a basic Wordpress blog (with cloudron) but for some reason it led to my site being flagged as distributing malware and I vanished from search engines. Apparently there is a Microsoft form you need to fill out to get unflagged where you explain what data your site is collecting but I just took the site offline because I was too busy to dig into it. Extremely annoying since the entire idea is to collect as little personal information as you can. It wasn’t matomo fault, its somebody’s dysfunctional web crawler bot auto generating reports

About 6 months ago my job required that I finally get my hands dirty writing x86 assembly. It's my first real foray into assembly coding.

There are a few aspects of it that I'm really enjoying:

- I can now actually understand the disassembled code that I see during debugging. This includes recognizing some of the assembly patterns that appear because of ABI requirements and/or common programming idioms.

- I'm becoming comfortable with a programming idiom that I've never really used in the past: registers, flags, various kinds of memory addressing.

- It helps my understanding of compilers' lower levels / backends, and the related problems: register allocation, instruction selection, etc.

- It provides a clear path for my first attempt at writing JIT code (using Xbyak[0]).

So as Richard Feynman might have said, it's great fun!
