It worked for Michelin I guess. I'm just imagining "Uber 4 star restaurant"
I don't think the article mentioned if executives are exempted. I think the 30K is across the board.
I was trying to push some people off my Google Apps accounts since google won't allow you to "split" some users off the account. Wish I would have seen this then!
I'm so sorry about the cyclical vomiting syndrome. I've watched a friend wrestle with it for years, it's no joke. Her's is also triggered by positive stress, like excitement to see a favorite band in concert. I'm so glad for you that things are turning around in your life. It sounds like you've had to do some hard work to get here. Thank you for sharing.

> There's an almost dangerously cultish obsession with industriousness in our society.

Yes!
Huh? Enforced, unpaid vacation == layoff doesn't it? "You still work here but won't be paid"
I'm not really sure what makes this different than the dozens of other Front-End/JS specific HN clones that make it to the front page and end up functionally shut down due to lack of content or user engagement.
Thank you, this is such a great story.
I would like there to be some promise of not wasting people's attention. Or maybe that is one of the "resources"?
What does not collecting too much data mean in practice? It seems a lot of analytics would be in the grey area, esp. when trying doing reverse geo lookups. A more simple example: can I use Apache which gathers people's IP addresses, browser info, referring links if I don't necessarily know how I'll use it?
Hi,

I just saw that someone posted our manifesto here. Thank you!

If you have any questions, please ask me here. I will try to answer them.

I agree. Redistribution of public knowledge can hardly be described as a "leak".

I received an email from haveibeenpwned.com about this, but I don't see how this makes sense, given that no information was revealed that users hadn't consented to reveal.
Sort of on-topic; we're hiring in Sweden and we don't care where you're from.

How does PS compare to installing cygwyn and using bash ? (from a Linux user perspective) does it support grep, find, ls, PS, pipes, etc?
The article should start with the prerequisites, things like an university degree and some work experience will make your job hunt easier and in many cases it will be impossible to get an European job with relocation without these two things.

I, for example, have been trying to get a job in many of the startups in Amsterdam and Berlin for the past 3 months and it has been impossible due to my lack of formal education, or better, due to the lack of university degree. And to add salt to the wound, the education system in my home country forces you to pass +5 years studying just to get a Bachelors while you can get a BS in ~3 years in the EU and use the other 2 years to get a Masters (as in the US), so even if I had finished university I wouldn't be able to compete with the education of engineers that are already living in Europe. More than once my profile has been rejected by European companies because they can find someone as good (or more) than me without the need to initiate an immigration process.

Nonetheless, I will try every single website linked in this article because I hope than maybe one of these days I will get hired for work experience and skills than for my education. I haven't found a job in Europe for lack of trying.
The lessons learned at the bottom are fantastic. This is a must-read.
That's really interesting!

And now and off-topic question: why would rolling right stop a plane from going in the sea?
you can screw up your body in numerous ways if you overdo it, ie grow enlarged heart, screw up joints or spine and end up semi-disabled relatively young. just look at pro lifters, most of them after career end up obese with various health issues, some barely able to walk or lift anything more than sheet of paper.

it's a think line to walk, unique to each of us, where you try to grow as much as you can without crossing it
That's exactly how it works!

You can press ctrl+space and it pops out a list of options to choose from, then you move with the arrow keys. It works for parameters and values (if there's a set to choose from):

I've taken a screenshot to illustrate: http://i.imgur.com/d7MVYma.png
That's fascinating, and oddly endearing. Thanks for sharing!
As a supplement to the video, there's also a great web site with lots of examples which do exactly what you are talking about. The site is http://www.csszengarden.com/ and its purpose is to show off the beautiful things you can do with just CSS.

From the site..."A demonstration of what can be accomplished through CSS-based design. Select any style sheet from the list to load it into this page."

My personal favorite is http://www.csszengarden.com/219/. It's busy, but I love the effects and it is visually stunning.
Yes, my first thought (after VMS) when he said no popular OS is designed for security.

Then of course, I realized that by "Popular" he meant Mac OSX, Windows, and Linux.

Linux of course, we all know is a security mess because Torvalds refuses to deal with security issues.
Which Notebook is a "good" linux machine? All my "linux on NB" experiences so far have been kind of compromised with lack or quality of drivers - resulting in poor overall performance. E.g.: no/poor/intermittend wifi/BT, excessive battery drain, loud fans.
After my first project with it, almost two years ago, I've used it in every applicable project since. It's exactly what I've been looking for in a database. Relational Documents, an easy to use query language, with realtime feeds. The fact that it didn't explode on the scene, is depressing. Because it takes all of the strengths from other document/nosql databases, and none of the weaknesses.
...for replacing concrete and ceramic roofs. Which are popular in some sunny places but absolutely absent in northern climates. Which may be ok, since we have poor solar potential anyway (sun always at an angle through lots of atmosphere).
Given that the photos show obviously bodged-on VGA connector and AHCI-related messages with Intel's vendor ID on screen I would assume that it is just a normal PC (ie. white-box switch).
um you can fire people for breakdown in trust you know and why would him being in the field for 20 years most of which is not with the current employers increase his redundancy.
Drag-resize (affecting buffer, as well) is nice, finally. And you can change opacity in properties, making your window transparent.

What I really like though: you can now use Shift + arrow keys to select text and C-c/C-p to copy/paste.
Are you worried about him ordering extrajudicial assassinations? Cause Obama has done that.
When you need the data to fulfill your business goal, it is ok (as long as your users know that you collect this type of data).

What we encourage to avoid is "collecting everything, just in case..."

As long as you anonymize things, analytics are fine :)
Compulsion Marketing: Making Your Product Irresistible
Views don't have to be binary like "it's a hoax" or "the end is near". In between those 2 you have stuff like:

- World may be warming but I don't believe we should act yet
- World may be warming but I don't believe the actions we are taking make a difference
- World is warming but I don't believe we know whether the result will be necessary a "bad thing"
- World is warming but I don't believe we know the main cause
- World is warming but I don't care what happens in 100 years
- World is warming but I feel we should wait longer to see if models are correct before spending money on it
- I feel humans overestimate their ability to model the future
- I feel there are bigger problems we should be tackling..

...and a million other reasons. I don't believe global warming is a hoax, but a combination of reasons like the ones above makes me personally not worry or care about the issue.
How many Russian state sponsored hacking teams have they uncovered?
Tldr so they have yelp now?
There's plenty of great quotes from Torvalds about why it's like that.

He places functionality over security, and assumes security will just 'happen' with code quality. I tend to disagree - but I am typing this from a Linux box, not an OpenBSD box.
Because Linux is more functional as a desktop - the irony there isn't lost on me.
> The fact that something is "all in your head" doesn't imply much about how much control you might have over it. Schizophrenia is "all in your head."

So is a brain tumor or glaucoma, in a literal sense, but I doubt many people would seriously use the expression "all in your head" for any of those. In my experience it's overwhelmingly used for anxiety and depression, with the implication being that there's no hard physical problem and that you just need to change your habits/attitude/beliefs (which, incidentally, is an approach that is notably ineffective for schizophrenia, apart from being done with others as a harm reduction mechanism).
I assume it's like we need to save 1/12 of employment costs, so everyone is forced to take one month vacation.
UI is ugly as hell! And why isn't it done as a webapp??
It seems like every day there is some story about the dangers of proprietary hardware and software :(

Do you have a writeup of your reverse engineering the scanners and firmware? Like this article, it could be a fun read!
Your last paragraph resonates. Having some experience with this process, I'm convinced that a few years from now, mandatory code reviews will be the silver bullet of yesteryear. Ultimately, it's just another attempt at solving the unsolvable problem of "I hired lazy shitty engineers and I need a way to quality-proof their code." If you don't have this problem, don't bother with code reviews.

I have actually heard that opinion, for example: http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/09/new-york-future...

However, most people I've talked to who say "there's nothing we can do" are really saying "I think I will be dead before this is a really big problem, so fuck it".
If you type: dir -<Ctrl+Space>
PowerShell will list all available parameters below, and allow you to tab through them.

The tab completion is not static either. If you type: ps <Tab>, it will tab through all the current processes.
Interesting level of modularity; it's almost exactly the same granularity as FPGAs. The "logic unit" in https://bighexmachine.github.io/hexModuleSpec/ reminds me of a LUT element.

The two-phase clock looks interesting as well.

Can we not reinvent this particular wheel please? Codes of Ethics aren't JavaScript frameworks.
The biggest issue with Windows isn't its inherent security, it's the way it's used. Most users run everything with super admin rights. Most developers require that for installs.

OSX is right behind it, with a culture of laxness that undoes most of the benefits the designers tried to give them.
Finish us off? I doubt it. We're a tenuous species.
React's escape hatches ARE its strength. If you don't need them, you can just use any ol vanilla virtual dom library.

The entire reason for React's existance is to slap escape hatches on top of a vdom so you can work functionally in a non-functional environment.

Unsubtitle for Netflix - Sometimes Netflix force subtitles to appear when you're watching series. I found it really annoying and decided to create this Chrome extension to disable it.

http://www.vua.sh/ - Vua.sh is a simple website that encrypts messages on the client side and stores only the encrypted message. It generates a link that can only be used once, after clicking on the link and reading the message it is destroyed from the database.
No, it's fine for people to not like her policies, that's the traditional Republican base that I mentioned. I'm sure lots of well informed people voted against Clinton. So for example, in Wisconsin, I'm sure Trump would have gotten 1 million+ votes regardless of fake news.

The question is more whether inaccurate stories influenced enough people (3 types of influence: vote changing, increasing enthusiasm which encourages voting, decreasing enthusiasm which discourages voting) to push the margin in Wisconsin to 30,000 in favor of Trump. I have seen no proof that it happened, I'm just saying that I think it could have happened in such a close race.
From reading the docs it seems possible

Go to the website click on documentation then indepth then restore.

Well vacation implies you're coming back while layoff does not. And no, you no longer work here if laid off.

Congrats to the Heptio team! I love using k8s and I hope this will lead to even more contribution and adoption by more folks. k8s is what really makes it possible to use Docker containers in a production pipeline.

You have to understand that Volkswagen and Volkswagen is not the same.

Volkswagen Group is the mother. The big one with >600k employees.

The Volkswagen Group has several brands/divisions - I've added the profit margin for 1st half 2016:

* VW cars: margin 1.7%

* Audi: 8.8%

* Skoda: 9.6%

* Porsche: 16.7%

* Seat: 2.1%

Then there are VW trucks, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Ducati, Scania and MAN. All those are brands of Volkswagen Group.

Path of the course perhaps. After 30+ years of fighting a what was always a "rear guard action" against the prevailing dominant Unix customs and methods Nadella has switched Microsoft and Windows into a full-on conformist mode by removing the immediate -> monetization of the OS and thus the need to be "different".

It would not surprise me in a few years to come, to find even sooner than expected that "Windows" had become another variant of Unix in effect if not entirely in fact.
Silicon Valley thought so. Why not copy it if it looks like it might be working?
My bank does this as well. It's unfathomable, they went straight from a 90s site to a touch-friendly-desktop-hostile site. Not sure if incompetent devs or stupid management, or both.
I responded to the other comment as well, but:

In essence, the speed when working in it (compared to powershell). While powershell does have more features, at that point I'm just more likely to use python or similar for portability.
Much of the cheaper comes when you get the large enterprise discounts (versus amazon). Those don't last forever though. Their offering is definitely far more immature, but they are making constant improvements. They tend to be leveraging lot of ML stuff in the security/management space as well, which is pretty interesting (they have a vast trove of threat intel from the millions of MS defender and O365 type deployments).

First life hack: make sure you want to live in Europe.

I like the parts of Europe I've been to (Germany, Ireland, France, Austria, Hungary, the Netherlands)

Having said that, don't expect it to be better than wherever you are. There is no promised land.

I'm saying this even though I work for a large company with offices throughout Europe. I could transfer without any difficulty and get paid relocation to my choice of cool European cities. That's not to sound braggy, just to say that just because you have the opportunity it's worth considering whether its worth the jump for you.

But OSX, Windows, and full-blown Linux aren't used as embedded OSes either. Linux is a bit, but there are a lot of other choices.
Agreed, it focuses on job boards/recruiters to use, but not the checklist that includes visas, passports, residency options and funds required.

Of course Sweden itself might care.

> you have a direct cause-and-effect scenario in place

See I was not so sure about the direct cause and effect bit.

That sounds a bit too dismissive. I am sure it has to have some effect but not sure that's the reason for an electoral landslide and Hillary delivering the worst Democratic performance in 20 some years, despite having experience, a mass media support, DOJ and POTUS on her side, a lot more donor money and resources.

Saying this is because Macedonians brainwashed our citizens about lizard people or KGB agents seems dishonest.
There was a copy of them floating around on Google code for years.
I have a property developer friend who had the idea to create a sort of luxury village in Southern France where successful people from the arts / entrepreneurs etc could meet. People that had achieved financial independence and weren't "part of the system". Sort of like a safe enclave to exchange ideas. He did well + things were progressing, but during the financial crisis in 2007 banks pulled out (€50m in loans) of the deal and wiped him out.

I honestly wonder how many people would be interested in living like this.
Your assertion that fake news can't matter is absurd. Fake news has always been a part of American society (Remember the Maine!) and has always affected politics. The degree has varied over time, but this type of manipulation has happened, repeatedly, with great effect.

It is dishonest to pretend that the dems are claiming fake news is the only reason they lost. Conversations list it as one of a host of contributing factors, not a whole explanation. We all know this, and you should be ashamed of having pretended otherwise.

It's also absurd to claim that the response is mere sour grapes. People have a tendency to ignore problems and hope they go away until they are too big to ignore. This is such a case. Filter bubbles and fake news seemed troubling, but when Trump managed to beat a number of well qualified Republican candidates, it became clear that fake news had more power than was believed.

It's beyond belief that fake news has now become a political issue. On the one hand we have people who want it to be easier for an individual to know if they're being lied to; and on the other hand we have the Trump-loving wing of the GOP. (this is not the entire or even a majority of the GOP). It's wholly reasonable to care about truth, and to want more truth.

Your post has no value. You are just attacking the character of people with a valid concern, and you're backing up that attack with mischaracterizations and lies. Thus, I suppose, it is unsurprising that you oppose truth in media.
This initially sounded quite surprising to me, how can a high-technology product compete with something as incredibly low technology as roofing material? It turns out that I was thinking of the ubiquitous roofing material where I live: asphalt shingles. The solar roof panels might be competitive with concrete and slate roofs, which typically cost (from a few minutes of Internet research) 2 to 3x the cost of an asphalt roof.

(I suspect there are more than just economic and stylistic reasons for the choice of one type versus the other. Here in the Midwest, we randomly get hailstorms causing major roof damage. I wonder if a "hard" roof (asphalt has a bit of give) is even more vulnerable?)
This article isn't really about solving a silly problem with hands, arms & tongue tied behind your back. It's about learning a little bit more about the layers which put our systems together.

I don't think the author was seriously suggesting you use butterflies or a steady hand either.
Thus is just the NYT throwing the dead cat into Silicon Valley while bringing you more Trump bad press. Move along.
I never really thought about the fact that alarms are researched and have dedicated designers. This was a very interesting article, thanks for sharing it.

I might have to start checking Atlas Obscura more often if they have articles like this on it.
I don't know if you have never met anyone who thought Obama was born in Kenya, or that Hillary Clinton murdered one of her campaign staffers but there is definitely fake news out there.
We can't know whether fake news tilted the election towards Trump. There is no experiment or analysis that can conclusively dis/prove that hypothesis. NYT and others should be humble here. Sure, fake news is stupid, but so is claiming that it "helped elect Trump"
Dmitry, you never cease to amaze me with your side projects and the lengths and hurdles you go through with ease. These writeups are fun to read and provide me with some inspiration if I'm ever stuck on something.

For those that don't know, Dmitry also ported linux to an 8 bit micro-controller.

Still to date, the craziest project I can think of.

I'm hoping you wrote that in the way that "here is this guy that did some amazing cool hardware hacking, whereas 'all' you have done today is write a shell script".
Nice summary! I had the problem of one team member who was underperforming and felt the need to use your (1)-(3) as a way to slow down and put down the work of others. Sure, this is a "people" problem and not a "code review" problem, but it seems that mandatory code reviews can give a lot of power to a few bad apples and can actually magnify people problems.
Thanks for making Picnic CSS! I picked it for small project recently and enjoyed using it.

If everyone must speak at the same volume, then broadcasting or any kind or public speaking are impossible. All communication must consist of 1-on-1 conversations or among small groups.
If you allow broadcasting, then eventually some voices will be louder than others.
There are a number of contributing factors to the outcome. As such, it is reasonable to expect a number of different conversations.
"Telling them they read "Fake News" and instead they should have been watching the "real news" like CNN would also sound rather silly, don't you think?"

Certainly. What would you say to encouraging people to be more critical in reading the news?
