One more reason I do sometimes this because I remember the website but don't quite remember the domain (was it .com or .net or .org)
Apple devices always have been usually quite attractive, but currently, there is no better ARM hardware for the end user available. A lot of people would like to use some other cpu than x86 and on top of that the M1 is currently perhaps the most attractive notebook cpu.
Cool idea. I played around with something using texting as the primary controller for users and I quickly found Twilio quite expensive. I stumbled upon SignalWire and it made the cost much more manageable for lots of small messages and for lots of individual numbers. Just wanted to mention it incase it is helpful to you!
Electrolyzers are expensive and capital intensive enough that we don't anticipate that green hydrogen will compete with natural-gas derived hydrogen on cost before 2030.

By 2030 batteries will haven fallen dramatically in cost. It's not enough to show that electrolyzers are falling in cost, it also needs to be shown that they are falling faster than batteries, and will be able to catch up.

That's the missing logical link, and I haven't seen even the most optimistic hydrogen boosters produce numbers that show it to be possible. Definitely not before 2030.

There is a massive hydrogen PR push right now from natural gas companies with the hope that they can eek a few more years out before transitioning to the modern renewable economy. But even those folks don't say that fuel cell is going to be cheaper than typical passenger vehicle sized batteries.

Every single hydrogen powered vehicle is already going to have a battery in it, to manage variable output. The question is, if hydrogen machinery gets cheaper than battery, at what range capacity does it make sense to include both battery and hydrogen. If it's at 1000 miles, 500 miles, or 300 miles, or 100 miles, and that all depends on the cost ratio of the two, and hydrogen being significantly cheaper than battery.
The message posted upthread (https://i.imgur.com/PDnMmQV.png) definitely does not say it will publish your location/address. It says people will be able to view your "profile".
I've seen a $95 million figure reported for Epic's purchase. They're buying it from a group who picked it up in 2019 for $31.5 million after IKEA cancelled plans to build a store there.
Get people on board first. Lock it down once it's too late and everyone is invested.
>wish to appeal to the better natures of the right wing

You voted for the right wing last time you voted (I know because there are no one else to vote for). The Democrats are also right-wing, anti-Iran, pro-Israel, etc.
I thought the advantages of those things are deployment and reproducibility. Otherwise it's easy to find yourself in a situation like my last job where unit tests only passed on the CEOs laptop and nobody knows why

Lot of optimism in the comments, but unless they have their supply chain pinned down I really really doubt that it will ship in any significant quantity in Summer 2021.

The truth is that right now most components are insanely hard to get, not just GPUs and they will have to play the bidding game (which will make their laptop significantly more expansive) or delay. For a small volume like theirs, there is a non zero probability that they will get dropped by their manufacturer completely.

I'd love to get my hands on one of their laptop though!

Well, I don't know whether those older warehouses were in competition with Amazon but let's assume they were and Amazon displaced them. By consolidating all the warehouse employment options into one company you have reduced the bargaining power of potential warehouse employees. They must work at Amazon or they won't get a job at all.

There is this general pattern where companies hire contractors for non core services. The contractor is used as a point of collusion. If 100 companies are all hiring the same contractor then employees won't get to choose their employer since there is only one cleaning company in town.
Yeah it's too bad, if this laptop had a 16 thread AMD CPU, it would be exactly what I'm looking for: a 3lbs mobile workstation that I can service/upgrade myself.
I would take this even a step further. To state the obvious, the hard part of building a private currency system is building the private currency system. Once you've done that, it's relatively easy to deliberately relax the privacy guarantees of the system in straightforward ways if that is something you want to do. (Whether this is advisable is totally orthogonal. I'm speaking strictly at a technical level.) Think about this like having a perfect invisibility device. Once you have such a technology, it's relatively easy to make yourself deliberately more visible: e.g., throw a can of paint over your invisible body.*

But Taler doesn't start out by building what I consider to be a very strong privacy base and then allowing for optional relaxations. Instead it makes a series of design decisions that begin with the idea that privacy will be limited in certain ways, and then bakes those design choices all the way down to the foundations of the protocol. This means the designers have chosen the deployment parameters, rather than the people and democracies who might actually want to make the decisions. This rubs me the wrong way.

* This has in the past been interpreted by people as me saying "I think backdoors are great", which is funny and also not true.
There are variations of the original version though. But there are some important variations missing to detach from reality so people could have less controversial or provocative dilemma. For example:

1.If there are 50k people instead of 5 people on the other track?

2.If the decision maker is not a bystander but an operator whose duty is responsible for the safety of the system?

3.If two tracks are invisible (Except the switch operator) before the switching happens. And only one track could be left to be seen by modern human's eye after switching happen. Ether 50k die or 1 die but there's only one track left.

They still ship it for intranet websites compatibility and for Silverlight.

There must be a psychological component of processing color that can be influenced by language. But is there an actual psychosomatic effect to the extent that the actual neurological processing of color is influenced by the mind, whether consciously or subconsciously?

I remember as an infant perceiving blue and green as being two "shades" of the same color, and being surprised that no one else thought of them that way. My early intuitive understanding succumbed to habit, and I no longer make that association, but my physical perception of the colors has never changed.
It did seem very MS vs Apple, but it's true that Apple's walled garden prevents those later explosions on one of the 10% peaks.

The iPhone has been around for several years, but it seems there have been no such growth in it. Each app is self-contained, and is explicitly forbidden from becoming a new center.

Plentyoffish.com is famous for being built and scaled by one man on ASP.

I'm sure Microsoft.com and their other properties are primarily on their tech stack(hotmail, msn, etc.)

I'd bet that every site that has experienced any scaling concerns uses a combination of technologies. For example, much of facebook is actually written in C++.
There's definitely some cherry-picking going on here. The migration patterns for Manhattan don't support the low-tax theory at all.

With the 512MB Slice, you're paying around $18/mo more than the lowest end Linode for very similar features. What exactly do you get for that $18?
I had so many troubles yesterday with placing my order.

Today, I see my bank account has been debited the wrong amount from the invoice. I called AT&T and they say not to worry about it, they didn't communicate the order total properly.....

When you take way more money than you invoice, I see a problem in that...They offered me a $29 credit after activation....

For API access, there's no point using JWTs either. In the vast majority of cases, a randomly-generated API key is sufficient and JWT would be unnecessary complexity (you're using TLS, right...?) and in the odd high-security usecase where the key still must not ever be sent to the server, you can use eg. client certificates.

And if for some reason you have a weird freak edgecase where you really do need a cryptographically signed stateless token... JWT is unsafe[1] and you want PASETO[2] instead.

Edit: To be clear, with "API" I'm assuming you mean "third-party API", in the original sense of the word. If you just mean "a bunch of endpoints for my SPA", then you should use none of these things, and just use sessions. It's not really an "API" in the "API key" sense.
It's awesome! Very interesting pattern

Not read the paper in detail yet, but it reminds me of Deep Image Prior (https://sites.skoltech.ru/app/data/uploads/sites/25/2018/04/...).
Ultimately unions are representing an interest group, somewhat separate from the company and itself.

...it arguably make sense to go for job security. Security is valuable... to their members. If it's also popular with members, why not put it on the table? Even if it does hurt long term profits/success, profits are the primary interest of the other party to the negotiation... the firm/employer/shareholder interest. If the firm value (to take the other extreme) employment with n demand then they can negotiate for that, and compromise elsewhere.

The real reason (imo) that infirable employees, unsustainable pensions and other "union problems" happen is specifically because short term takes precedent in a negotiation. Looking 15 years ahead is the privelage of someone who isn't making hard compromises today.

Pension and job security promises are cheap now, expensive later.
> Sometimes, I think half the reason developers stay in unsatisfactory jobs is that they don't want to go through interviews led by interviewers like this guy.

There's really no doubt about it. I myself have refrained to apply or turned down a number of recruiters at various places that I'd otherwise be interested in because I know what the interview process is going to be like and whatever respectable pay raise they might offer isn't worth the trouble. Interviewing really takes a chunk out of you sometimes.

That said, I'd gladly take a booming industry with incredibly annoying interviews over a dead or dying industry.
As a Polish emigrant who's 15 years younger, a lot of this reminded me of the journey my parents had to undertake to get to the United States. But it's more than that. It's a reflection that applies to the intimidating nature of any major undertaking. I especially recall my parents about the realization that they had nothing more than a little bit of spare money and that they felt like they were "running at the moon with a hatchet," and imagining that it would come down.

Thank you for writing this essay. I emotionally reacted.

> "Out of 15 mains, 2-3 are probably stars that people come specifically to eat. 10 are OK. 2-3 suck, they make people not come back."

Then fire them. It's also important to note that the 2-3 who suck suck in relation to a consistent standard, not in relation to the other employees.

There is a fundamental disconnect between the justification of stack ranking and the actuality of stack ranking. In a sufficiently large population of employees you get some duds - that's a statistical certainty. The giant leap and non sequitor is that relatively ranking will expose said duds better than measuring against a consistent, non-relative bar.

Where I work right now we've had the displeasure of having hired some duds. Very few mind you, but in all cases they were let go soon after it became apparent they were duds and could not be reasonably improved. All of this was done without the need for stack ranking, and (thankfully) outside the scope of some annual remove. If you've hired someone who's actively detracting from your company, why in the frell are you waiting a whole year to remove them?!
One of the most impressive posts I've seen on Hackernews in a while -- kudos!
I like feature-length movies. Short films are a way to fill an idle minute, but otherwise bore me. No one I know spends 2 hours straight just watching short clips or movies on YouTube.
$1million is a low/mid budget TV series I think Amanda Tapping's Sanctuary show had that sort of budget and they had tax breaks on top of that

Mad men is several million per episode. A cheapish movie is 30-40 Million.

3D workspace is it!

It's what I first thought of when I tried the Youtube app on Google Cardboard. The app has you in a theater with a main viewing screen, but then littered 360 degrees around you are other videos you can watch or cycle through.

All I could think was how awesome it would be to have half a dozen virtual screens (that I could manipulate) for programming. It would well justify the cost of a good device because six monitors would be probably just as expensive.
Either we'd see a great deal more investment into DRM than we do now to the point where it could actually be relied upon [1], or it would get dropped to save money.

... or studios have found a sweet spot they're happy with (or at least, not totally unhappy with) where spending more on DRM wouldn't be justified by the incrementally smaller increase in sales.

i.e. if you double your spending on your copy protection and it lasts an extra week before getting cracked, how much that extra weeks worth of sales is worth depends a lot on how many previous weeks there were before the crack. At some point the ROI curve stops making sense.

I suspect it's not pure business though - people in the media live off their creativity and seeing people pirate your stuff can be emotionally difficult. I would not be surprised if some places over-invest in DRM because they feel a moral and emotional imperative to defend their work from piracy as much as they can.

BluRay DRM is probably as good as you can technically get for movies distributed on discs. For movies distributed via the internet it's easier. But the economics of DRM are tricky - the key thing that hurt BluRay DRM (and the designers were fully aware of this problem) is that movie producers have a strong financial incentive to push player prices low, and player manufacturers have a strong financial incentive to push movie prices low. Movies and players are "compliments" of each other in the economics jargon. Not surprisingly, player makers make the absolute minimal effort when it comes to DRM and that's one reason why cracks keep happening.

One of the most obvious tension points here is PC software players. They're much harder to defend. But they increase the size of the player market (and therefore the movie market) a lot. So movie studios ended up deciding to allow them, despite knowing it'd weaken the DRM.

BD+ was designed to try and resolve this problem by allowing movie producers to spend the money on copy protection rather than player manufacturers, and it was remarkably effective for a long time. BD+ ended the era of open source players for good, only full time reversing teams that are willing to keep up continual effort on a disk-by-disk basis can break it. But in the end it wasn't enough for a fully convincing solution.

Has anyone replied to your mail? What has the response been like?
You aren't wrong, but there are different conceptions of the word "freedom". Stallman explains the specific values of the word "freedom" related to Free Software at the beginning of the talk.

So he is advocating not using things that restrict people's freedom (in the Free Software sense).

It is similar to the bit about licenses near the end of the talk - Stallman says that an MIT/BSD license allows some people to alter the source and transform it into proprietary code and therefore they would reduce the (Free Software) freedoms of a user.
Thanks! Will try that with one or two of our customers, shall I let you know our findings?
How would you solve this problem?

Parameterized queries are already a thing and ORMs are all the rage ;)
You make a few valid points. But the issue is like always, every one feels their work is the most important occupation in the universe and every one else must just accommodate to whatever the conditions there are.

Even more specifically if there really programmers out there who are best of the best. Making a lot of money would be least of their problems.
>To have exclusively white men on the panel -- and have them endorse "the style I like, that celebrates my ancestors, is the only style anybody should use" -- is very self-centered.

From my reading, the order was in reaction to modern architecture. Not sure where you are reading id politics into that.

Furthermore, who are you to say that Americans of any ethnicity have or do not have a connection to an architectural style?

Can I play the race card here and say I'm a fan of the Smithsonian's Romanesque revival style?
It's meant to be 3D printed.

"If you could take a year off to work on something that probably wouldn't be important but would be really interesting, what would it be?"

I don't know, but now I want to put some thought into it.
Nah, I don't think so. Software engineering has always been a field where the barrier to entry is quite low, and where a lot of people didn't need a CS background to get started there. And for many of them, they still don't. Web development for instance requires more knowledge of how browsers work rather than the computers they run on.

Even so, the number of mediocre/terrible software engineers and web developers doesn't seem to have changed much overall. We all know of old school desktop software that was incredibly poorly written. We all know examples of games which were incredibly poorly written. There have been badly coded, badly designed websites from people with little experience in the field since the web first became a thing.

Plus people joined because it paid decently back then too. The dotcom boom brought in a lot of people who only cared about the wage slip at the end of each month. The early days of gaming had tons of people jumping on the hype train for money, whether it was the home computer scene in the 80s in the UK or the early console gaming one when Atari was still a big player. Or perhaps for every generation since.

As for whether they'll stick around if it crashes? It depends. It may very well not crash at all. And while a certain percentage will leave if it does, others will stick around and learn more instead.

So no, I don't think the quality has gone down. There have always been people from informal backgrounds, a knowledge of CS hasn't ever been necessary or mainstream overall, and mediocre to terrible programmers and developers have been a thing since the field began.
Apple leaving Russia's market is probably an ideal outcome for the Russian government.

Forcing out all outside software allows them to ensure that every single device comes from the factory with backdoors preinstalled.
You should always build a company with the idea that you will go public as doing so forces discipline in how you do things

How did that work out for Uber, Lyft, and closer to home DropBox? They all went public and still haven’t shown that they have any idea how to become profitable.
The fact that Jobs had to found another company is unfortunate and symptomatic to me.

There’s no reason why huge companies can’t foster innovation, besides bad management. See Bell Labs and Xerox Parc.

You would think a place with almost unlimited money for R&D would be perfect for nurturing an ambitious project, but instead most go for VC.

What’s sad to me is that it’s cheaper and easier to buy a startup than to fix broken culture, given a large enough company.
I’m pretty much with you. And I can’t help but wonder as joining startups has clearly been sold as a path to riches, this site has shifted.

Here’s a benchmark question: is it better to be right or be popular?
Hmm, in my case this would be .de/DENIC. Seems to be organized as a cooperative with those members: https://www.denic.de/en/about-denic/members/member-list/ So not very promising.
