a dollar - not really. A ten thousands can get you through a night at a not the worst club though :)
>Dear lord, this still happens? :)

For what it's worth, every time I've seen this question asked here, the answer has been yes.
Hey Dave,

It already has number of business operation functionalities like:
- Call center functionality or Ring Groups (you can setup who all should get a call when say a sales number is called)
- Availability feature (you can set your office timings & if someone calls you after that, he/she is directed to voicemail option without disturbing you)
- You can sent another preference like - if you are not available to take call, call will get forwarded to other team member, if he/she is not available it will be forwarded to another team member and finally to voicemail
- SMSes option is alway available. For users who have used Stripe's Atlast program and formed a company in US while operating from SE Asia or South America or Europe, they can use Justcall to manage mobile banking (get bank texts or call verification etc - most banks require US number)
- We are building this Phone Tree option where more customization will be given to users
- Also, building IVR system to let users setup IVR layer on incoming calls. Businesses will be able to deliver information to users like Ticket status (say Airline or Movie hall), Account balance (say Uber or Pizza Shop) without having someone to answer such calls for them
- CRM integrations are already in place and we are adding more CRM integrations (one in every 2-3 days)

Plus, we are very customer focused and will be all ears to your feedbacks, ideas and feature suggestions.
(Q-8 is the relevant FAQ on that doc)

Thanks.
What does Airbnb biggest conference look like?
Now that is a great collection, thank you!

One thing that I think would make the collection even better is spoiler free titles to maximize the suspense.

For example, the screen saver story lost much excitement when I knew the cause from the title.
So many new named services. AWS will soon get to a point where their product dropdown wont fit on a laptop screen. Maybe it's time to consolidate some of these services into more general products.
To be fair, the Pebble watches weren't very smart. They were notification watches at best. What Google and Apple can do with their watches is leaps and bounds ahead of what Pebble can do. A bit like comparing the first home Pong gaming machine to an Atari 2600. I want the flexibility and feature-set of my Urbane and having it charge it more often to have these features and its gorgeous screen is more than worth it, at least to me.
Funny thing I noticed: when you start a family and have kids, you are forced to get better and better at the _skill_ of context switching quickly. You learn how to be productive with twelve 15-minute slots divided by interruptions instead of a contiguous 3 hours. Being able to do this is a skill like any other. I no longer buy the whole "in/out of the zone" thing as if it is some fundamental law of nature.
Calexit secession plan possible, but faces huge hurdles
The backend engineer position sounds interesting. How does someone get relevant experience to be able to be qualified for that?
From the article: "I think that time tracking deserves a try. A life is lived in hours. What we do with our lives will be a function of how we spend those hours, and we get only so many."

It's high-status to be busy. Time tracking, while useful for some, is more likely to be a way for people to play the status game.
Much better, thanks for posting
Was more thinking of ovh, in the recent attack the admin interface and network weren't affected as it seems.
Was there a possibility of them having a profitable revenue stream? Sure. Was there a probability? Definitely not, and people (myself included) have been saying this about PH ever since its inclusion in YC. These same people have been around the internet block so to speak, and personally I've seen dozens of much larger, much more valuable, and much more active communities die off because even after bombarding their users with ads, trying affiliate sales (PH's most recent revenue model), and charging subscriptions it is incredibly hard to monetize an internet community that is not predicated on money changing hands.

It's not a business, it's a social club. So why was $28mm pumped into it?
Maybe ten years ago when the first generation of PCI-X Intel chipset 10GbE NICs were available for servers, the driver support and tcp offload engine support were much better on FreeBSD. But the situation is reversed now with all of the drivers and updates to the v4.x series Linux kernel.
The URL worked fine for me.
Well, I am out of control of my life. Because I need money to live, and so does my family. So I'm slaving the days away.
Two years ago, Facebook was trying to hire someone to make Linux's network stack as good as FreeBSD's:

The linked post uses CloudFront as an example, which is commonly used simply as a CDN in front of static content on S3. This allows you to take that model and add some dynamic content to it.

I just recently used this model to host a JS widget used on external websites, now I could for example add some basic logic to disallow certain domains (by checking referrer headers) from using the widget.
The author is clearly well into the upper-middle class financially, talking about nannies and "solo beach days" on both coasts. Wow, how out of touch is the typical New York Times writer these days.

Poor and working class people have truly busy lives compared to professionals. We should all remember that.
There's quite a few money-budgeting apps out there (Mint, YNAB, etc...) to help you figure out where your money is going, but I haven't seen much for time-budgeting apps.

I know I wasn't great with money until I counted every cent for a while, I wonder if the same effect could be replicated for people who don't spend their time as effectively as they'd like.
I think you have outlined the basic issue with human social interactions of any size greater than 3 people.
Oracle is such a destructive force. Getting bought out by Oracle = slowly being ripped apart limb by limb.
Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification.

As a side note, I wanted to check if that was really the case so I just created a new twitter account to test with, and even with the "Tailor Twitter based on my recent website visits" option unchecked, Scott Adams showed up as the very first and only suggested person to follow in the "You might also be interested in" section. Creepy...

I don't understand what detached means in this context. I am still seeing the comment in the main thread. Is this because of a setting I have?

I think so too. In the past, I'd get frequent DDOS attacks against my site, and the dedicated hosts I was with would null route my account, or tell me to take a hike, even though I was paying them $1k+/mo.

I switched to AWS 1.5 years ago, and all my DDOS issues magically disappeared overnight.
True, I was trying to be ironic. Guess it didn't work, ha!

That's a great find. And look at what Facebook have done: invested in BPF and eXtreme Data Path.
When you're IBM, you want everything to look like AS/400.... or clunky Java Swing apps.
So- suppose we could move that same 100 PB in a standard 24" cube FedEx box, collecting the data in less than a week and using only two 110v power connections. Would that be interesting? Oh, and it takes less than a single rack of gear.
It's a little small and hard to read, but not terrible. Additionally I don't get any weird zooming behavior that was described

Thank you. The live syncing cost me a fair amount of sweat to get finished for filming.

We decided early on to not fake anything we show, so no CGI in the product video for example. So I had to implement fully functional apps on all platforms (we now have apps for windows, macos, linux, android and ios), and at the same time fixing wifi drivers and whatnot on the device, to get a couple of seconds of video. So it is nice to see it appreciated.
Now I have to assume you are trolling. On a mobile phone (tested on an android with FF), you need to zoom to read any text that is not a headline properly. And there is no way that pagination is clickable without zooming in directly on it. Google is saying the same: https://search.google.com/search-console/mobile-friendly?id=....

That is not working fine.

How a Modern Economy Is Like a Parking Garage
The story seems to be that most people are under the delusion of being busier than they actually are, and if they just paid closer attention they would realize this.

To me the far more interesting question is, why do we feel so busy? I've made the observation to my family on numerous occasions that the most stressful and exhausting work days for me are the least productive, those days when I'm just sitting at the computer staring at the screen for 8 hours. After a day like that, at 5 o'clock I'm literally brain dead; nothing left. When I have some productive goal I'm working towards, my work has the opposite effect; I close my computer feeling energized & ready for whatever's next.
Nordam Group | Fullstack Software Developer | Tulsa, OK | Onsite (relocation available)

We’re an independent development team inside The NORDAM Group building a brand new public web service. The aerospace industry we’re modernizing has yet to fully benefit from the data revolution. We pride ourselves on our “startup” approach: we leverage modern technologies and methodologies and we prefer results over tradition. By being a totally separate unit in a large corporation, we benefit from its support and extensive business network, without all the downsides that come with software development at larger companies.

Our product needs to handle information at scale, safely. We deal with items often worth tens of thousands of dollars or more. We do things the right way from the first time - cutting corners is not worth it in our case.

You know Ruby inside and out, both the pretty and the ugly. You can tell when a piece of code will be inefficient just by looking at it and you know how to optimize it. However, you are not married to any programming language and would welcome the opportunity to learn a new one on the job with open arms.

As an early dev hire, you will be in a unique position to work on virtually all aspects of our product and have a strong voice in product and technology strategy. This position is a great opportunity for a smart and ambitious developer to advance their career and have a major impact on a large, important and clean project

Contact me at simon.grondin@outlook.com and I'll put you in touch with the right people.

It's actually a legal term. A redundancy in Australia means that the position you fill is no longer required. You're paid out accordingly to be sacked and the company cannot hire for that exact position (title, role, job) for some time.

The determination if a company violates that (as in, they're getting rid of YOU not the position) becomes a whole set of legal arguments.

But essentially/idealistically;

redundancy = getting rid of the position and it can't come back under another name.

firing = getting rid of you as a person.
you realize every sweetener is a chemical, right? What if they replace sugar with sugar? There are tons of types of sugars that can replace one another. Lots of sweeteners actually come from plants and microbes.
I have a lot of questions/problems with this. Here are two.

1.) They mention in the compare tiers "Application traffic monitoring" for Advanced. However in the FAQ: "In addition, customers can also use AWS WAF to protect against Application layer attacks". WAF is only available through CloudFront, and CloudFront charges 600 dollars a month for a custom SSL certificate with dedicated IP.

So do they have "Application traffic monitoring" outside of WAF? I'm lead to believe not.

2.) They mentioned multiple times you can call on the DRT team to help you. However buried in the FAQ is this little gem: "Response times for DRT depends on the AWS Support plan you are subscribed to".

So for 3k/mo I can't get better than 24/hr turnaround when I'm under attack without ALSO having a business/enterprise support plan?
I've never had the issue with "moving the shift" that the author mentions, leading to "snake-Case". I don't think the way I type would allow that typo to happen; I certainly make typos regularly, but I don't think I ever have typos that move which character a shift applies to (Caps -> cAps).

I do like languages like Lisp that let you use dashes in identifiers to avoid the need to shift, but at the same time, I also like identifiers_like_this just fine (much more so than identifiersLikeThis).

As someone who worked at one of the OEMs in the german automotive industry I can second this. However the big problem is that the complete engineering process that many of those companies have does not allow for any updates and a car platform. The process is mostly: You write dozens of specifications for specific components of a car and then get contracts with external suppliers that develop and produce those. After the development cycle for a specific model is over (~3-4years) all these components have been integrated into a complete car that gets sold. When the next development cycle starts basically everything is done from the beginning, since the components may be developed and produced by completely different suppliers. So no chance to update anything, since the component might have not only different hardware, but also completely different software - even though it might look the same from user perspective. One way to solve this would be to develop more software and components in-house in order to continuously improve them. But as this is against the established engineering process it will only be very slowly introduced - if at all. In addition to that these companies mostly don't understand software (and software development), so the results won't be great in the beginning.
