Mexico does not get richer when corporations move their operations there. How does anyone belief this codswallop?

Say I own a factory and it makes 100 million dollars gross per year and I have to pay my American workers 40 million dollars and the other running costs are 40 million. Now I've made 20 million in profit. Now I move operations to Mexico and I pay my cheaper workers 10 million dollars. Maybe I lower my product prices a little but I can still make it away with massively larger profits, which is why I moved operations there in the first place!

Where is the money going into Mexico in any of this? Sure, the government taxes you but odds are that tax is less than in the US, since you wouldn't otherwise set up there (take a look at Ireland for a good example of this). You probably did some greasing up of politicians to get a good deal and much of that tax money is not reaching the people of Mexico in the form of decent services, as is the case in most government expenditure (US military budget anyone?)

Now you say, well I'm hiring Mexican employees who are being paid and can now put that money back into the Mexican economy. This all sounds good in theory but you are paying them the bear minimum that you can (the whole reason you moved over there in the first place, remember) which ionly has to be marginally better, if at all, than the money they were making before you showed up.

It's been shown that NAFTA killed local industry in a lot of Mexico because American companies could sell their products more cheaply to the Mexican market, thereby killing the local competition. This forced people to abandon their businesses and work for American companies for pitiful wages.

Nothing about this neoliberal form of globalisation is helping to alleviate economic disparity in the world. We have seen inequality increase and real wages stagnate in the time since this whole project started.
When was this?
This was the case when i started (~2006), but it definitely changed and is not the case anymore.
Most actual cameras dedicated for astrophotography (the stuff shown in the article is more like a frankenstein improv) have fans. Most of the large dobsonians have fans. Many high-end SCT telescopes (typically used for astrophotography) also have fans. Fans are good, fans are your friend. They fight all sorts of thermal issues.

They're typically fans with high quality bearings that also are spinning slowly. There's essentially zero vibrations coming out of that.

It's very hard to get decent results out of any optical stack, especially for photography, without having any sort of fans, heaters, coolers, and other air flow and temperature management devices in various places.
Even if outsourcing is banned, few jobs will return and most of them will go to educated robotics engineers, unless robots are also banned, at which point we might as well all pack up and move back to the caves.

usually when I want to play someone at about my skill level I go to one of any number of free chess servers where there are literally hundreds or even thousands of players of nearly every playing level. And if I want to play a game where the pieces are shuffled I play fischer random on said server. But I guess if you're clueless about chess but know how to write an app this is what you end up with.
"Nothing to do with" means no correlation.

Edit: And note that "by my logic" you cannot conclude any thing is anti- any other thing. That was your logic.
Social media also makes it easy to get exposed to opposing views.

I make it a point to subscribe and follow people/groups with very opposing views to mine (as long as they are articulate).

Such a thing was not very possible to do before social networks, and being exposed to such thing have changed my mind several times (or at least moved me to the middle ground).

It's a shame that this election seems to have polarized (on both sides) not only a great number of ordinary people but many professional journalists as well. The public's faith in the rule of law is America's greatest strategic asset, and independent, objective journalism has been one of the most important ways that faith has been maintained.
There's politeness, and then there is that.
I think sexual assault is absolutely abhorrent. I don't think NYT being biased wipes clean any of the guilt of Trump. If he truly committed sexual assault he should be held under the same standards as the rest of us.

Conversely, I think that the horrible allegations against Mr. Trump do NOT nullify all of the scandals and atrocities that Clinton has been wrapped up in. And I certainly do not believe that the allegations against Mr. Trump give the Times the right to be blatantly biased in their reporting.
> You and I may be using Facebook differently.

This is almost certainly the case. I feel like much of the time when people confidently generalize (on HN and elsewhere) about "how everybody uses Facebook", they end up talking past each other because there are just vastly different patterns of usage that you never have occasion to get exposed to (given that your friend group is more likely to have usage patterns similar to your own). I once got downvoted pretty heavily on HN for responding to someone talking about removing their Facebook friends that they don't know by asking "Is this something that people do? Friend people that they've never met or spoken to?". Apparently that's totally a thing, but I never would've known
Got it. There is more to it. We'll work on demonstrating that more on the landing page. Thanks!
I wish I had an echo chamber. My social media has a lot of my friends and family from all over the political spectrum. I have sworn off Facebook until after the election, because all of the crazy out there makes me really mad. It's like listening in on someone else's echo chamber full of crazy.

Real engagement and connection is hard work. It's mentally and emotionally exhausting, and only occasionally useful.
> There's another measure I use to measure the quality of their hiring process. The output. Namely the track record of products Google has developed in house in the last 10 years.

That's a poor metric to evaluate the rampant complaints about a high false negative rate. I don't think that many people are disputing that the people who do get hired are qualified most of the time.
If the interview distinguishes between people you want to hire and people you don't it's a pretty good interview, surely?
On the first point: Account authentication (when you setup your account or when you add a new device) is done via a non encrypted text message delivered to you by the tel-co service. This method is extremely insecure as it has been used by state and non-state sponsored hackers to hijack the account. IMHO the only reason a messaging service uses and relies on phone number to identify (and of course authenticate accounts) is to steal (that's how I see it) their contacts and force them to use the service in order to grow their user base. Such unethical and disturbing practice can not be endorsed by an organization like EFF.

Regarding the second point, as mentioned above, my problem is with the support EFF shows for such applications/corporations. If you are looking to avoid mass surveillance, of course the ability to be anonymous is critical.
A lot of commercial cameras for astrophotography get a 40 Celsius temperature drop (compared to ambient) on the sensor - just with Peltier elements. That's a pretty big decrease. You're getting diminishing returns after that (and a bunch of new issues with super-cooled components that you then have to manage).
I admit I am not familiar with the interviewing process for the non-engineering sides of the org, but I'd still find this very unlikely and weird. We are very very strict in our meeting and timing policies as our meeting rooms are usually packed with people all the time so we really need to be in and out at the given time. It's counter-intuitive that somebody would delay a meeting on purpose...
Existing certs will continue to work until they expire. So "re-adding trust" to WoSign doesn't make sense. No sane site operator would renew their cert with WoSign since they will lose all Firefox and Apple clients.

> This reminds me of the infamous Nigerian emails. They are so obvious for a reason - avoiding false positives

Unrelated to the main topic but I wonder if email providers could effectively fight those scammers by having chatbots automatically reply to their emails. That would make a bunch of false positive to sort through and possibly make the whole thing uneconomical for the scammers.
you have inadvertently indicated exactly why the desktop, up front cash drain as it might seem, is actually a huge cash gusher. That is because it is the piece of the ecosystem which users bond to most intimately, and if they don't like your endpoint UI, they sure aren't going to be axed to use your (highly profitable) backend services. Witness how Ubuntu, arguably the original "pretty" Linux, dominates amongst startups doing cloud. And why Windows lost so much ground. And why AAPL was so stupid to dump the Xserve. Can you imagine what might have happened if Apple took just 1 or 2 billion out of its 250 billion cash horde and "did BSD" on the cloud? Properly?
Soot in rain on white. A couple of years later and it would likely be almost black. It's incredible what exposure will do to stonework, especially if the surface is a little bit rough.
I'm just going through this right now, and it's pretty amazing. I really like how he develops this prototype,

There are connotations of "control" that make it a flashier, more imprecise, more clickbaity way to say influence. Specifically, having some degree of control less than total control over one's behavior means roughly the same thing as having influence.
For better or worse, they silently shut down a clean account that was only tangentially (and invisibly) linked to a problem account, without notice, without appeal.

This sounds more serious than that. It says they can re-apply for inclusion of new roots next June though. So in practice it might really be just a one-year ban, if they will apply and pass the inclusion process.

No one can force you to be an organ donor. Even if donating your organs would save someone's life, you have autonomy over your body and you are allowed to decline to be an organ donor. How is abortion any different?

An organ is a component of a body. A baby is an entire human life form. You can't take an organ out of a body and have it grow up to be a poet or an astronaut.

If a baby in the womb is simply "a woman's body," what about the 50% of genetic material from the father?

I think the Republican Party's pro-life position to be discriminatory against women.

How is it discriminatory against women? Women are the only sex that gestate. Opponents of abortion simply feel that much abortion is highly questionable ethically and feel that a society's treatment of the weakest and most defenseless among them speaks much about the character of their society. If men gestated they'd feel the same way.

In modern society women do have complete autonomous control over their bodies in determining whether or not to become pregnant.
TLDR: We tried getting something similar to Heroku up and running but we ended up going with a paid service that starts at 4299$/month.
Good question, thanks. You are right, in case CloudRail goes down no one will maintain the libraries anymore. Despite the fact that we won't go down :), you have to ask yourself if the risk is really that big? The service definitely saves you time now and for the next X years. How many time would you invest during that period with native integrations? Definitely one by one SDKs to integrate and I bet some of them need to be replaced as well. E.g. Dropbox from v1 to v2 was a complete new API and SDK. I think integrations need to be maintained anyway and in the worst case (CloudRail goes down) you have to invest max the same time compared to manual.
We love open source and this is an option as well.

1) What APIs has your team built before that qualifies them to build this?

Our team has been in the API business for 4 years now with a lot of different projects and products.

2) How will you manage changes, bugs, and obscure documentation issues in the APIs that will be made available through you?

We have a system called API Change Management. Every connected API is monitored for changes. Once something happens or is announced we update our SDKs and put that information back in the system. Afterwards the system checks all SDKs which are implemented by customers and which integrations they use and automatically notify affected ones by email and via our portal.
..
4) What language will the API be written in?

Currently we support Node.js, Android, Java and iOS (Swift & Objective-C)

5) Regarding API access security: How will you handle access to multiple APIs for the same client when each API requires a different set of tokens?

We let customers use their own API credentials which they get directly from the providers.

My SO spent a decent amount of time studying in Chiang Mai (she was in Bangkok at the start of the most recent coup), but take this with a a healthy amount of skepticism.

She said many of the Thai people she met wouldn't say negative things about the government (and especially the king) out of fear, likely due to lèse majesté laws.

She said she also noticed strong peer pressure to maintain that status quo. You don't want your neighbor thinking you don't love the king do you?

A lot of these environments still require deb/rpm based installation.

Still? I didn't know the "dev" in devops had eaten "ops" and standard practice is to start shitting files wildly all over a server. Just because it's in a container/vm doesn't make that any less gross of a practice.

A package(s) that behaves well within the rest of the distribution, and lets sysadmins use their favorite configuration management to setup /etc/foo/bar is exactly the level of control I want as a customer, and would want to afford admins if I was a vendor.

Giving customers the option of a prepackaged virtualization/container solution is fine and all, but I'd take a wizard-installer-for-linux over a VM image any day. I deal with installers already, and while less than ideal they're easy enough to have wrestle the output into a .deb and throw on our internal repo. Then I can apt install it wherever I want.

I like the title of this because I think it captures the way a lot of people feel when someone passes them in a lane that is ending, or pops in front of them as the lane is ending, while making the point that it's the proper behavior in the context of efficiency.

I live in Los Angeles and the two behaviors I notice most frequently working against the greater good are the inability to merge properly and keep right, pass left.

All too often I see people reach a merge and arbitrarily stop, put their blinker on and wait for an opening. Stopping makes it much harder to exploit an opening and merge safely. Or, someone going well under the speed limit in the far left lane creating a barrier to faster moving traffic.

I have all sorts of hypotheses about people's territorial and juvenile behaviors while driving. Ultimately, I think it comes down to ignorance resulting from less than adequate driver's education.

Driving in parts of Europe gives you an appreciation for better driver's education. This recent post is perhaps tangential(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12674533), but it's in the spirit of my point about adequate driver's education. Similarly driving in some Central American countries is better in my experience.
Google questions a lot of what it does. It's made up of lots of engineers and other that are on this site and care deeply about the fields we are in. We are always questioning decisions made and try to use data as best as we can to back up those decision.

As for customer support, it depends on the product you are talking about. Your free gmail account or $5 purchases through the play store: don't expect a lot of support here (but there is some). If you are using Google Cloud, Apps, AdWords, or other products where you pay, you can expected to get amazing support (this will change with your spend level). For example: on the cloud side, you can pay for support contracts that gets you lots of 1-on-1 time with Google support staff to help you use the services[0]. Or with the new Pixel, there is on-phone support[1].

"Then why ask about the nitty gritty details required by maintenance personnel as part of the screening process - things I would rather have my high level employees looking up rather than relying on a possibly faulty memory.
"

This is one reason why i find it super-strange. It's not a set of "high level employee" questions. It's a standard SRE pre-screening.

"How about the responses from your own employees which are pointing out that they see the problem too. Are they being unreasonable?"

My view of unreasonable is not about whether there is a problem or not.
It's not about the consensus. I don't actually have an opinion myself on the hiring process. If people i work on recruiting raise problems, i try to solve them. I have not had trouble trying to recruit in general. So i haven't formed a strong opinion, even after 11 years. If folks want to decide the process is horrible, okay. If folks want to decide it's great, that's also okay.

But it's unreasonable because it's both super-quick reaction without time to settle and think, and not aimed at anything other than trying to reinforce one view or the other.

Nobody is actually listening to each other, they are just trying to force whatever their view is, good or bad, on others.

So to answer you directly, i don't think pointing out a problem is unreasonable, but that's not my complaint. My complaint is that the actual discussion is not a discussion, but mostly people just arguing on the internet.
IE You shouldn't take me saying "unreasonable" as a proxy for "me saying i think their viewpoint is wrong". I just think the mechanism of discussion here is unlikely to yield fruitful results.
