I'm not sure why that is surprising. Its a new product/service, I suspect over time the data will expand/mature.
Wow, impressive lineup of people answering on the app already!
I find options confusing. How about this instead - a contract with the employee saying they get disbursed a % of the annual profits. If company does well they get a % of the profit. If it does badly (loses money) that year they get 0. Is that stupid? Seems simple so probably is stupid... But it would seem to incentivize the employee to make the company more profitable.

I'd trade a reasonable % every year over a mythical pie in the sky exit one day. Yeah, I understand it is nice to dream owning a yacht and sail the world one day, and that is worth some something (in other words the ability to dream about it is important and people will get into situation to be able to do it). But I am more of a boring pragmatist and would rather have a bit less but more predictable reward every year or month instead.
This is awesome. Previously, this would have required easily pronounceable/typeable passwords to be able to log in on mobile. I can see this incresing adoption of LastPass, and eventually revenue even if conversion rates drop.
Yeah, and that's why we shouldn't be impressed that it can make a phone call. That's expected. But on the intro video for a new phone OS they're 'unveiling' I want to see what's new / different about it. I assume it can make calls.
Ask HN: Who (if anyone) at your company cares about 404 reporting?
I've built a javascript tool which gives our content owners insight into users that hit our 404 page.

It includes simple reporting about the top referrers and lets them setup a quick js redirect.
We used to grep apache logs whenever the team would bug us, but now they manage it completely on their own.

Has anyone else solved this problem before?
Who (if anyone) at your company would be most interested in solving this problem?
Ask HN: Any devs who want to partner up with a designer to spice up Linux Apps?
As a designer, I was impressed by Microsoft's recent products for makers and disappointed by Apple's seemingly focus shift off of the Mac line and more geared towards the iPhone and the watch for mass consumers.

I've never used a Linux before, but I'm interested in giving it a try. Though the software on it really looks like crap.

I'd love to have all the Adobe like software I use on a daily basis, and all the developer tools, available - made apple like simple and beautiful, and just work.

I'm not a developer. I'm a designer. Looking to help different developers who make software that I personally would use, so I can hopefully contribute to a more professional and attractive ecosystem on Linux.

If interested, please email me at k.flypx@gmail.com with the software you're working on that could need a UX and UI rework. Love to collaborate.

Founder of Flypx.com, logodust.com and Fairpixels.co in case you want to see some previous work.
Honestly, as another commenter pointed out, seems like an emerging field. Best practices and processes are just being figured out, and I haven't seen any great resources online talking about what to do, especially since most of what you need to do depends on the data set and how you're storing the data, and that can vary widely.

Like I recently dealt with finding duplicate song lyrics in my 5000 set of lyrics, and to do that, I just had to google around for StackOverflow answers or random blog posts before I found something that I could adopt and chance for what I had.
The official answer to this that it would cause uncertainty regarding future decisions.

And I won't even start with devaluation, the geopolitical position of Greece or the chaos on the streets.
> You have no way to challenge the assessor?

No you have not. The tax is based on a tag price the gov puts on your property which might be 10x more than the actually market value (sometimes even 50x, not kidding).

Greece is a more like a dormitory these days. It's a miracle people still survive here, but economic activity is virtually dead and indirect taxation is still on the raise.

I think it has something to do with supply and demand of engineers both continuing to grow. The market is increasing and any growing market gives people a reason to justify trying to get in on the action.

I wish you would name the companies so I can avoid them.
>Is it really gratitude if you cultivate it? Can you really become mindful/thankful/x via pure practice?

Yes (if done well) and yes.

>If it makes sense and is logical why can't you instantly become thankful, why do you practice?

For all the same reasons that other things that make sense and are logical do not instantly transform you.

Various studying habits make sense and are logical. Knowing them does not instantly change you.

Same with eating habits.

Heck, I do not know your age, but I'm old enough where it's easy for me to find things in my life where I knew the "correct" approach, but it took me years to change my behavior to be consistent with what I knew.
"This is an out-and-out lie. They are willing to serve me pages without ads, because they do it every time I browse there with an ad-blocker"

You people are naively deluded.

" No ads = they don't exist = no content.
It's not my job to worry about their business model."

You don't seem to grasp the realpolitik here.

No ads = no content - in the long run.

Get it?

You don't seem to grasp the math here.

If there are no ads, they, and all their peers cease to exist.

Or else they go full paywall.

I'm not even making an ideological statement - although I could very well do that, I don't need to.

Do you know the reason that there are maybe 1/3 the number of foreign correspondents for major news networks - and why there is so little coverage of Middle East etc? Because CNN now competes with click-farms like Buzzfeed. Less revenue = less product.

So it's the 'choice' consumers make.

These things don't exist in a vacuum they are real.

You don't want ads, you don't want to pay - they you are 'de facto' saying you don't want the content in the long run.

There is no argument against this - you can rant and rave as much as you want about side issues such as 'the http stream belongs to me' yada yada yada - it's totally irrelevant.

No ads (or pay, or donations) = no content.

It's as simple as that.

"This may sound greedy to you, but for you to have the absolute gall of telling people that they need to expose their computers to malware is purely asinine."

No - I am not exposing people to malware by suggesting that they 'not use ad blockers'. Because 99.9% of the world does not use adblockers and don't face such malware problems. I'm not even suggesting they 'not use ad blockers'. I'm merely pointing out the reality of the situation.

Denying reality is the only 'asinine' thing going on here.
Perhaps they do, but I don't know why anyone would. They are fundamentally different computing experiences and iOS introduces so many limitations when you want to use it as a daily computing device that I'm not sure what demographic it is best for when you are looking at an iPad Pro vs. a MacBook or MacBook Air.
Do you use R and the "hadleyverse"? (Or "tidyverse" I think as he prefers?)

I'm a programmer by trade but I use R because the people who actually work with data use it, and they write good tools for it... I think there is some confusion in the programming world about this. Programmers work with data, but they don't do it nearly as much as "professionals".

Tidy data is a good intro if you're not familiar with it:

http://vita.had.co.nz/papers/tidy-data.html

And I would recommend going through other publications by Wickam, all on his site -- they are quite readable.
For insurance companies, you're largely bound by whatever policies and procedures you define in your MAR specifications.
While this is sort of cool for some people, I think the sad thing about a tool like this is that it's only going to encourage the wrong behaviors for a lot of people. It puts more focus on people's job titles than what they actually do. It encourages people to chase the corporate ladder, not find meaningful jobs... I'm sure it adds a lot of value to some, but some small part of me can't help but think there are thousands of people searching for their job titles today and running up to their manager asking for the next title...
The big result there is this: "Poor performances in technical interviewing happen to most people, even people who are generally very strong. However, when we looked at our data, we discovered that after a poor performance, women are 7 times more likely to stop practicing than men."

On the hiring side, "For the specific case of an online job posting, on average, 1,000 individuals will see a job post, 200 will begin the application process, 100 will complete the application, 75 of those 100 resumes will be screened out by either the ATS or a recruiter, 25 resumes will be seen by the hiring manager, 4 to 6 will be invited for an interview, 1 to 3 of them will be invited back for final interview, 1 will be offered that job and 80 percent of those receiving an offer will accept it (Talent Function Group LLC)." This implies that 80% of interviews lead to rejection.

Given that level of rejection, the key here is to get women to know the odds and keep trying.

Not necessarily. They just don't want the risk of their emails being used against them due to misinterpretation.

A great story I heard from a former employer was a lawsuit around a new sleeping pill. One person taking the drug ended up killing his wife while on it (in combination with a ton of alcohol and other drugs). The drug manufacturer was sued and decided to vigorously defend the safety of the drug.

Well, some low-level lawyer in the company decided to spout about the science of drug development (have no actual education around it) and said in an email "maybe the dose is too high?".

Slam dunk. That statement looked incriminating. The company quickly settled after that email was found. Just not worth the time or money to fight it. A settlement was the cheapest way out.
I haven't confused r with g. I think you may not have thought through what these quantities represent. r is the return on capital. An asset worth A returns A*r per year. This says nothing about wether A increases or decreases. You can use your capital income to buy more capital assets. But you can also use labor income to buy more capital assets. Basically the argument only works if you assume all capital income is saved, but no labor income is saved. But then the savings rate is doing all the work.
> ... and they're not even really pretending it's about getting paid back any more.

No, and it never was (though they may have pretended that it was at one time). It is, and was, about keeping Greece from economically destroying all of Europe.

But since they're providing the money that keeps Greece out of the abyss, they get to call the tune, no matter whether it's about getting their money back or not...
Unlike last year, your power cord, mouse, monitor, external hard drive, even an outboard gpu can all use the same physical connector, and it's a non-proprietary, industry standard.

Last year's laptop was slow because the internet is slow and storage is slow. 802.11ac isn't the bottleneck, so they couldn't speed up the internet, but they did double the speed of the storage.

However, I think the statement about the headphone jack was silly. Audio professionals use USB DACs or have them integrated in their studio monitors, but not being able to plug in headphones is annoying to regular users. It would be great if instead he acknowledged that Lightning has become a garbage, proprietary standard, and they made a mistake not switching to USB C or including a headphone jack on the last iPhone.
There is no central repo that transactions are sent to, and that everyone pulls from.
Huh. Thought that's what XML with namespaces and schemas was supposed to do.

Only being a little sarcastic...
Your process seems pretty standard to me, and what I've experienced most of the time. That's not the same as 5 onsite interviews though. I do know some people that have been called in for 3 onsite interviews though, which seems pretty excessive. 2 I can understand, and I've had 2 onsite once before.

Honestly, the more I read about all those "diversity initiatives", "outreach campaigns" and "pushes to increase H1B" caps - the more I wonder about the intent and motivation of the people pulling the strings and funding the groups fighting so hard to further those causes. My comment is only tangentially related to hiring practices.

Maybe age has turned me into a cynic, you can never know for sure, but this seriously starts to look like an organized campaign to 1/ increase the supply of engineers in the valley 2/ increase competition for access to a limited supply of jobs 3/ maintain engineers as a inexpensive, replaceable and unorganized workforce (in the face of increasing demand).

To address the diversity numbers of Facebook, I wonder what are they exactly suggesting when they mean that it is not "diverse"? At the risk of sounding like a white supremacist (I am Vietnamese) that very much sounds like a code word for "too many white people" or "too many asians". To clear that out and maybe find out that I am mistaken, I want to know with what kind of demographic breakdown would proponents of diversity be pleased. Should it follow the US racial distribution? Or have equal proportions of people from each race?

Finally, I think that a breakdown according to class would be much more interesting than this document. Since race is only skin deep, I do believe that having people from all walks of life would be a better optima than having people of different colors (that are all upper middle class).
I like this announcement and still root for any alternative phone platform. The thing is - which device would I buy?

Plasma Mobile supports the Nexus 5 and (maybe) the OnePlus One right now. CopperheadOS doesn't support either of those. I was unable to get a reliable source for supported devices for Ubuntu Phone (best I found was [1], not even sure if that's related) and so far I don't believe that the supported devices for THAT platform intersect with the other two.

Searching for sailfishOS device support only comes up with Jolla phones. It seems as if not only is the market lacking alternative systems, it's also near impossible to try out the ones that do exist. Buying a device for some experimental OS is something I have done (Flame for FxOs - still sad that it died, owned a Palm Pre), but cumbersome and expensive.

Not sure about Ubuntu, but https://antergos.com works very well on my 15" MBP out of the box.
I guess, I mean this is just based on my personal world-view, I'm not an ad ethicist and I don't run any sites that depend on the revenue - I just personally don't run an ad-blocker because I feel it breaks the "social contract" that in return for someone providing me content I give up some screen real estate for an ad.

In your case, what's the point? Even though I feel like it's hyperbolic, one of the main arguments is that they are an attack vector - so if they are still running/displaying then it seems pointless. It's not that hard to ignore ads, there are a few sites I don't really go to because I know they have annoying ads (and I don't feel entitled to their content for free, so I just don't go) but otherwise I have never had any issues with ads that are difficult to ignore.
Most startups make very little or no profit while they grow. They're often sold long before they turn a profit. In those cases a % of profit would be worth 0 while equity could be worth quite a lot.

Profit sharing does have a long history in more traditional industries though.
Ok, a revolution. But, praytell, who would finance that new fresh government? There's little capital in the country, people don't evidently like the idea to start paying taxes all of a sudden and you just screwed over a large group of investors. That money is going to be way more expensive than the average market yield. That means your economic growth will likely not cover the interest payments. Which means you'd take on new loans to pay back your old ones with interest. And we'll be having the exact same conversation in 25 years or so. Yeah, your generation is going to so okish. But the next one will do even worse than you after a fresh round of damage on Greece reputation on financial markets.
The iPad Pro is NOT a pro-level device. Turns out, that oversized iPhone apps are not that great. Look at the latest numbers of iPad sales[1]. Everyone that wants one already has one. Everybody else give zero-shits about the iPad.

Darlin would be a better name anyway, as it's not a pre-existing word. I also think it sounds less 'cute' than 'darling'. You even have a rhyming animal for the logo for that...
Excuse me? Unlike the MacBook Air it has a retina display and Thunderbolt 3 ports. Seems like this conclusion was written first, then a narrative was written to fit it. Or the writer of the headline was not the writer of the article, and just made something up.

More broadly (this article and beyond) all the dongle complaining is going to sound pretty backwards in the context of today + 2 years.
How many startups have you worked for that are turning a profit? Most technology ventures less than 5 years old are running in the red or they are reinvesting their profits to grow faster.
Generally speaking, that is how some bonuses work.
Maybe it has to do with the nature of the subject. Nobody is gonna get hurt if they go offline for a few hours (unless blue balls count). And customers will keep coming back if the ... product is good. They might not be so careless with paying customer info though.
Just curious - why do they hold on to those flats if they don't rent them out?

This is part of [1] why I won't be getting another Macbook when work gives me a notebook, and go back to Windows instead. Our IT relies on a lot of Microsoft stuff (Office, Exchange, Skype for Business, etc.) and that works much better under Windows. 1

A notable feature that we're missing on Macs is recording in Skype for Business (aka Lync) meetings. We only have two Windows notebooks in our team of 20, so we have to rely on them joining every important meeting to capture a recording.

[1] Another part of the decision is WSL, which might enable me to abolish my work VM.

This was my understanding talking to a couple of friends who were in H.R. They said their company's policy was to only let them answer these two questions. And they implied that this was similar for several other companies they worked for.

So what I'm drawing this conclusion from is definitely anecdotal.
I may have asked for content, but that doesn't guarantee to them how I render it or what requests I make or don't make because of it. Because I get to render it with my hardware, and I own that hardware and I exert control over it.

There's an even more convenient and much cheaper way called an ad blocker. It also works on just about every site around. Show some control.
Also a large portion of the data science stack. Finance heavily contributed to the Scientific Python ecosystem for example.

Sorry for the delay, I missed the reply.

This is the description of a project you made, anyone can download and try it, so it's inside the conditions of a ShowHN. But it's too similar to a blog post, so I'm not 100% sure ...

If it were an interactive online project it would be a clear example of a ShowHN.

But it's not necessary that all the ShowHN are interactive. A few month ago dang (one of the moderators) said that also a book can be a good ShowHN.

Answer to a question about a ShowHN for a book (read the original thread to get all the context): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8765822

> The "try out" rule is important, but adjusts to different kinds of project. Hardware, for example, can't be tried out as easily as software. For a book, I suppose a sample chapter or two would be a fair way of trying it out.

So I guess this is a possible ShowHN.

Good luck with the project.
I think the next couple sentences explain it well:

> It takes a lot of interviews to get used to the process and the format and to understand that the stuff you do in technical interviews isn’t actually the stuff you do at work every day. And it takes people in your social circle all going through the same experience, screwing up interviews here and there, and getting back on the horse to realize that poor performance in one interview isn’t predictive of whether you’ll be a good engineer.

If you don't have friends in the industry and you don't have the time and money to go interview at 10 different places, 1 or 2 failed algorithms interviews can be very discouraging and might convince you that you're not cut out for this industry. In fact the "Poor performances hit marginalized groups the hardest" section has actual data showing that women are much more likely to stop trying after 1 or 2 failed interviews.
First job out of school (early 1990s), working at a "big" consulting company. All the new hires had it drilled into them that you do not talk about work outside of work. And you never discuss anything client-specific in public, on a plane or in a cab, in a restaurant, etc.

Email wasn't a worry, nobody had it then. I think they had an internal system of some sort but the line staff consultants didn't have access.
Interesting quote
>>
"If you made the Mac a touchscreen you’d have to figure out how to make it a good experience with your finger on a touchscreen. Trust me, we’ve looked at that — it’s a bad experience. It’s not as good or as intuitive as with a mouse and trackpad."
"Post it on Teams" I don't think people say "I'll slack it to you" either.
To add to this, there are also lots of things that can be misinterpreted or taken out of context. I imagine that most people would treat email differently if they knew that all of their emails would become public information. Smart executives at large companies simply assume this and send emails accordingly.
If I understand correctly, this is not "worldwide internet usage", but actually "page views", which I think is a fairly important distinction to make (at least for the people of HN I would imagine). I would personally be more interested in a breakdown by protocols, volume, automated vs human, etc. Though I guess this company, dealing with web analytics, would be unable to present such information.

As an aside, I'm also curious whether a lot of these page views are triggered by ads, since I would imagine adblockers are not nearly as ubuquitous on mobile as they are on desktop.
