Don't feel bad, it's a regional thing. In San Francisco, if someone says "The Times" I also assume NYT. But, for example, folks nearer LA, think the LA Times. A lab mate and I joked about making a visualization along these lines (and the more common "Which city is 'The City'?").

Now I'm curious if the Seattle Times is a big enough deal to supplant NYT (presumably yes)...
Not exactly what you're asking for, but related. In accidents where both a large commercial truck, and a car were involved:

"the car was the encroaching vehicle in 89% of headon
crashes, 88% of the opposite-direction sideswipes, 80% of the rear-end crashes, and 72% of the same-direction sideswipes."

You are not alone. If you look at the "target retirement date" funds Vanguard etc. run you'll see that by the time the target date is 5-10 years out they have shifted largely to bonds to provide defined income.

But that's the trick, when would employees of a mega-org leave as a group, even in small numbers? I can only see it happening in a layoff or after the shares vest from an acqui-hire. Neither scenario is a recipe for picking up a strong team.

Consultants who struggle to keep the pipeline full are, by definition, struggling. The small firms who have steady clients do tend to shed the "consultant" label pretty quickly, so I can see some selection bias. I've known plenty of firms that don't have a tough time keeping a steady stream of work. I've even worked in a few.

I think Stripe's bid will work because it will stay small. If it really caught on, the idea is deeply flawed. But for small teams, some of the time, it will work.

From Zero to D3
While I think this is fine advice for most consumer things (and that generally you should talk about value not price), this falls down in a number of interesting markets. For example, with cloud where I work, the pricing is a huge component of decision making. Many organizations base their decisions on TCO, and that's not crazy. Generally speaking, if you have a commodity (or near commodity) then price is something to talk about.

That's basically the main reason why I left MacPorts. The other was the fact that they'd build their own version of already installed programs. The worst offender for a long time was tetex until they finally added support for looking at an existing tetex installation.

I also ran into a number of broken ports. I had used Fink, but I ran into issues with its packaging too. So, when I heard about Homebrew, I decided to try it. It's been pretty decent for me so I've stuck with it. The only major issue I've had has been related to Octave, but that's been a problem for MacPorts too as the OS X version isn't as up to date as the Linux version at times.

Unsurprisingly there's some sort of combo deal to get Thinking Fast and Slow with it.
Coursera built its PR engine on the premise of bringing high quality top-university education to the world for free. They gave keynotes to large audiences, did press tours, and even used a .org domain. Very feel-good, and they capitalized on the resulting publicity and good will to raise a lot of money.

No one would have whined much about add-ons for a cost. But to restrict what was originally part of the core free experience - the experience they built their reputation on - is why any backlash now is entirely of their own making.
I support opt-in as well. Make it the default option so people can press enter or use -y if you'd like.

My friend was a truck driver for a while, and a friend-of-a-friend is some kind of logistics manager. They both had the same objections to self-driving trucks -- the regulatory necessity for a human driver to initially inspect and periodically check the load, and the last-mile driver thing (which they expressed in different terms).

The 'some kind of logistics manager' thinks there'll be autonomous trucks pretty shortly, but the implementation will look like that Simpsons episode for years to come -- the way things work right now, a human in the cab is required.
Pricing remains the hardest thing in almost any business.

I learnt from running a part of a furniture chain's website that garbage is often placed with the item people want to move.

Retail I learnt is more about selling profit than selling product or services.

Pricing remains hard, and tricky, and several states like California have made it illegal to display MSRP type pricing, because everything's a great deal.
Writing words with straight lines
If you try to buy things, it's sometimes desperately frustrating that no one will just quote you a simple price. They have different pricing tiers, and want a salesperson to talk to you so they can pretend to give you a "special" discount, and all sorts of BS.

I'm sure these things work, but they also alienate customers sometimes. People have founded entire businesses on offering clearer pricing schemes.
No, salary negotiation is a whole different ball of wax.
If a team is even considering going somewhere else, and are willing to do though the effort of interviewing like this, chances are you are already losing any and all members of the team that you wanted to keep.

I've actually seen entire teams quit a few times in my career, but instead of them all quitting the same day, they quit within month or so, and it's the one that have the highest market value that go first.

If a company is afraid that an ENTIRE TEAM is going to quit on them, they have to make sure they are paid market rate, and happy with what they are doing, and who is managing them: There's no magic. Happy teams don't spend their time interviewing for new jobs.

So the minute you are worried one of your teams will submit a job application to Stripe, this means you know they are unhappy, and you aren't doing anything about it: Don't worry about third parties and fix it!

I've got quite opposite reaction. I regret spending any money on it. It's super slow and annoying at the beginning, because there are very large no-save areas and anything that brings guards attention gets you killed in there. (so it's only stealth game) On the other hand there's lots of comments saying (didn't get to that stage) that once you get through lots of missions, you raise an army of tanks that can kill anything in the way without stopping. I had really high hopes for this game, but it's just not Syndicate.

if an automated solution ends up being cheaper than manual laborers, then some lending institution will be happy to lend the money for the transition. any players that avoid the transition will likely get obviated by the competitors that capture and pass on the cost savings.

But you are assuming your filtering mechanism, in a short window of interviewing, si actually any better than the people that have worked with that person for many months, if not years! Haven't you ever recommended someone, just to see them not get hired for reasons that don't seem realistic? I have, it happens all the time. Companies are often selective, in the same way that asking a candidate to roll a D20 and only hiring them if they roll a 3 is selective.

If 4 people that work together and I want to hire happen to bring in a 5th person that did worse in my interviews, I don't worry about their judgement: I wonder about my interview process!
I'd really love to see a contribution from a single brilliant programmer that generates a billion in profit.

It's going to come from automation costs dropping and seasonal (and other) labor costs rising in real terms, so that the cost effective approach is automation. Same as everywhere else.

Because they're not stupid and knew that the first thing out of naysayers' mouths would be "why is there no opt-out?!", which then gets followed up with "it shouldn't even be opt-out, it should be opt-in!". They tried to get out in front of the matter by even bothering to document the use of analytics, and implementing an opt-out mechanism at all. Unfortunately the nefarious ways in which intrusive analytics are used on the web has completely ruined the concept of gathering the most basic analytics in any situation.

They could have just added the analytics without saying anything. Which then leads to a) someone discovering the outgoing analytics request and reporting it on sites like HN, b) them having to defend the use of analytics and PR-fake-apologizing for not disclosing its use up front, c) implementing an opt-out, and then d) dealing with HN reports about it being opt-out instead of opt-in.

The privacy implications of analytics gets blown way out of proportion every time the subject is brought up. There is a huge difference between gathering basic information a la homebrew, and the way the large ad networks track and share your information across every damn website you browse. Yet there is this vocal group of people who treat them equally.
Makes sense. Thanks for the reply!

As to spreading the vaults around the DC, it sounds like that's more to prepare for ToR switch failure -- its sounds like an ATS handles your PDU and power circuit failover.

Yeah it sounds like you're mostly CPU bound calculating EC if you're going to rebalance and replace failed pods so 25 gbps ethernet probably isn't interesting (yet). That said, it's only marginally more expensive than 10gbps twinax. Interesting that you're running 10gig baseT. Interesting from a power and latency perspective, though I'd imagine you're not worried too much about latency.
I think the overall point should be that no way is clearly up -- it seems obvious that corporations shouldn't be forced to act unprofitably, but not only does that often reinforce systemic racism (in this case), you end up with e.g. insurers shouldn't have to cover preexisting conditions, felons should be permanently out of a job (and thus essentially forced back into crime), et cetera. Or should that be the government's role, and how do we reconcile that with the common wisdom that private enterprise is more efficient (or desirable)?

These are complex, subtle issues. The most important thing is to distrust anyone telling you that the answer is "obvious", which so far is most of this HN thread.
I am an american person. I was referring to the fact that conservatives use state's rights to argue for things they want that the federal govt wants to do differently, but argue against states rights for the things that they want.

there are driverless trains at lots of airports, but i think the reason they dont appear elsewhere is that the cost savings wouldnt be as great. a single train conductor is managing a massive vehicle - sometimes two orders of magnitude more than a truck. the labor component with trains is significantly lower than in trucking. i think the same is true for ships. taxis are at the other end of the spectrum, where labor is a very large part of the cost structure.

So the Inbox Zero (and Getting Things Done, which is basically the overlying philosophy) is basically for people for which the status quo doesn't work. If you're able to manage your data without an empty inbox, that's great!

But if you're "suffering" from your e-mail, Inbox Zero is great for a couple reasons:

- The rules are simple. Read it, then archive, reply immediately, or archive it but put "reply to this email" in your todo list.

- The success state is simple. Is your inbox non-empty? Empty it. Is it empty? Go away.

- It's about aggressive honesty. You won't reply to your aunt's email from 2 weeks ago. Replying with a one-sentence thing in 30 seconds is OK.

- It fits with "email bankruptcy". Honesty and feeling of dread means you should really just empty your inbox.

the core thing is that it removes decision-making from the process of checking your email. For people who struggle with organisation, this is a bit of a godsend. Sure, you still have to reply, but for a lot of people following the Inbox Zero rules you'll end up feeling a lot less totally useless stress from staring at your inbox (even if it's just somewhere else).

It's sensible advice for people who don't have a working system. If you have a working system, you should totally use that though, it probably works better for you. Though maybe your system isn't working as well as you might hope, so it's always good to experiment.

Broadly speaking, in graph reduction the nodes are functions and values and the edges are steps in the computation that can be taken to apply functions to those values. After application that node becomes a new value, etc. until the program is evaluated or terminated.

I don’t think so. Once you’ve already automates a truck, you have a lot more information to convey than what’s out the windshield, and you are liberated from needing to turn a steering wheel or push foot pedals.
