I do this often, too. Just FYI: all you need to do is tell WhatsApp "Never mind, I'm not actually changing my number" when prompted (which should only happen once per SIM card change). That's it. You'll continue being identified to your WhatsApp contacts by your "home" phone number (not your temporary one).
Okay let's paint a picture based on what you gave us:

* You made an application 6 months ago
* You have 2.7k users in BETA

First the obvious, as of NOW there is no paid plan on your homepage. I mean, literally, your application lacks of documentation, disclaimer, terms of service, possible/available plans...

IMHO you're sitting on a possible goldmine and you have done the most difficult part: Get more than some people to use your application. You need a partner to help you with feature-set and (obviously) the business side of things.

Don't screw this up, you're probably on to something here. If you can't manage it alone, great, get a co-founder. If you don't know anyone in real life, start pitching your product here, I'm sure you'll get tons of candidates.
you're confusing a LAN with WAN. I'm talking about a LAN. Also, I believe he did hardware as well as software, and frankly, anybody building LAN hardware and software was buggy as hell. Do you have some primary citations? I'm always trying to increase my knowledge of the specific details of Berkeley's physical infrastructure from mid 70's to late 80's.
Government backing can make it last longer, but, as Russia should have learned during the Soviet times, consumer goods aren't commodities, it isn't how much you can produce, but how much people want it that matters.

I suspect if there's bad press he will. This vaguely reminds me of their decision to install air conditioning in the warehouses after a high profile story about the conditions there.
>This idea that there is impact from republicans not voting isn't true

Which is supported by what evidence?

There are tons of people that don't vote in any given election. Everyone has their reasons, and I'm sure apathy is the leading one, but it's crazy to suggest some portion of them don't vote because they live in a state that won't flip anyway. If you a Republican in California or a Democrat in Kansas, you don't really expect your vote to count.
Sure thing, all the other states you mention speak to the capacity of the shoreline to absorb some amount of water increase (from any source). Independently, if the frequency and intensity of flooding events is predicted to increase in the future, one would think that long term zoning regulations to preserve or increase the capacity of the shore to absorb flooding would be cheaper than, fix-it-quick with big infrastructure projects after catastrophic damage has already occured. That's why it's cheaper to address it now, rather than wait until the building policy completely breaks down.
it also has to do with the fact that the title of the degree predates the differentiation of many of the sciences. Newton, for example, would not have described himself as a physicist because that word didn't yet exist. (it was first coined, per the OED, in 1840.) He was a natural philosopher, which meant he thought Aristotle could be wrong and you could prove that.
Well now the goal posts have moved. Is living in a big city a luxury? I'm doubtful. Is having those other things a luxury?

Sure they sound luxurious until you realise you have to pay for them, which is why you'll need the high-paying job.

I'm just saying that it is possible to be comfortable outside a huge city and not owning cars I'd be worried about scratching.

People have different tastes.
Huh, I thought that was the cache. 320Mhz, but 16KB Ram. That seems like an odd combination.

Quake ran on a 75MHz cpu, but needed 8MB or ram.
This is my question. I mean, not to be disparaging (and correct me if I'm off base here) but isn't the Russian market rather small? Double the GDP per capita of china, sure, but with only 143m people and an economy about the size of New York City it seems like a tall order.

Being government backed, does that make it a security risk, similar to the recent issues with BLU devices calling home to Chinese servers?
Agree that the SaaS offerings are a lot more turnkey; the integrations and polish that make all the difference.

What you call a 'clusterfuck' is really a wider ecosystem. It would be pretty crazy for a single organization to use all or even most of the tools that you list.

Right now, people accept high degrees of cost (especially for at scale users) and lock-in, in exchange for the convenience of SaaS. Or, they go open source (which to your point, certainly is an investment in time)

Watch out for what team Grafana will be doing in 2017. Our plan is to provide a fully turnkey, hosted offering based around Grafana (and a handful of other open source tools). OpenSaaS.

We hope that for many users, this can be a third choice, and in some ways the best of both worlds.

I did just that about a year ago. I moved over from a an MS stack to a Linux/Node/Postgres stack.

And honestly, the quality of the end product is worse.
> or do you still need more data?

Jeff doesn't need more data. He already has all of it. The data tells him that this is collateral damage. It's the cost of doing business the way his customers (you, me and others reading this) expect instant gratification, free-everything and such with brutal speed and efficiency.

Your question should be

> do amazon customers really "need" free shipping, same day / same hour delivery (and other things that make them work their warehouse employees to death).
In all likelihood, your landlord is missing out on 291 euros a month in rent subsidies.
So what would you suggest? The article gets a little hand wavy about what donors should do - eg the playpump worked at first, then sucked, and is now working well in some instances.

So should I have invested in it at first, then stopped investing as it started sucking, and then reinvested again to the new people using it?

Given that type of friction, I may give up donating altogether. Or good ideas which hit a genuine rough spot may lose all funding and die off before reaching their full potential.

What would be a realistic ratio of overhead to target? Apple-like? Say 30% should be acceptable overhead? Or a sliding scale? For example, if a charity raises $1bn does it really need $300m for overhead? Maybe there is some middle band of maximum overhead percentage, say up to $1m <=5% $1m-$1bn up to 30% and over $1bn <= 15%?
But Northern Ireland _is_ an example of freedom through bloodshed. There was decades of violence before the UK conceded to give them genuine choice. Arguably Scotland benefited from this change in the UK's public opinion as a result of Ireland, without having to go through the same process.
What motivated the change? Were Linux/Node/Postgres technologies you were familiar with in comparison to the MS stack you were using? This can be problematic regardless of the technologies involved.
I suspect that the Russian government wants an OS it can trust for its official and military mobile devices, but realizes that the project is utterly hopeless unless the devices are also sold to consumers, to help pay for the R&D and ensure competitiveness with the market leaders.

I admit that last few years my experience with Linux is limited to T and X-series Thinkpads. On them, almost everything worked out of the box, including the fingerprint reader and WWAN networking. The only thing that I found not installed out-of-the box was tlp (power management daemon, it relates to battery life you mentioned). After a 'dnf install tlp tlp-rdw' it was solved too and that takes care of the almost qualifier in the previous sentence.

The other issue I had was with external monitor was, that the primary display for the login screen was the built-in display, not the external monitor (that's my subjective preference. After login, the arrangement was according to user preferences).

Both certainly not earth shattering. If other laptops or computers have more serious problems, that's issue to be solved by their manufacturer. They are selling their wares to you, after all, why would you accept incomplete support?

I've used vim on and off for about 15 years now. I now use Emacs + evil or any other editor with vim key bindings. I've never remapped the ESC key.

Do you all remap the key at the OS level or do you remap it in your .vimrc? Getting rid of caps lock is attractive enough that I'm willing to give it a try. I never knew it was a thing and that that many people remapped ESC.

I'm also wondering what happens to the caps lock green light on the Macbook. Does it stay off since caps lock is never actually enabled?

Guys! You got me pumped!!! Thanks a lot!
Probably not a popular opinion, but maybe someone who is mentally unbalanced enough to commit suicide over a job is the problem, not the company itself. In a company as large as amazon you are going to have the full gamut of the human spectrum working for you. It IS possible that person who is a bad employee, and person who would commit suicide at work can occupy the same body.

Franky, this linked letter shares a lot of that same bizarreness. He calls the person who jumped off the roof brave and said he wish he had the courage to do that. If you hate your job, wouldn't the courageous thing be to go get a different job? If you are a good employee then getting another job shouldn't be that difficult. If you aren't a good employee then it is hardly the company's fault.

I'm not saying that amazon is not potentially a shitty place to work at. But this whole employee attempts to commit suicide, that'll show em attitude is just plain wrong headed.
It's very possible. I personally like trade deals but there seems to be a pretty good split in both parties that are against them.

+1 on this. The same thing happened with me and my Co-Founder(s).

I met Andrew (my co-founder) through some school friends and hired him when I was running my team at a digital agency (I was 18 he was 16) after 4 years of building platforms together we moved on and setup on our own. Feels like my brother a lot of the time and that's what makes it easy. The ability to be straight with each other when things don't work out but also have a mature relationship where you know where business is and that it doesn't compromise your friendship.

I think this is more than a Bootcamp driver issue. I don't run bootcamp, but I do run Parallels, and I know exactly what they mean by the pops. I hear them whenever I am in Windows in Parallels. I never heard them on my old MBP. Theoretically, when in a VM, they should be mitigated by the macOS audio driver. However, if I am in Parallels, I am almost always connected to external speakers, so I don't know for sure.

Parallels doesn't run the Bootcamp drivers, but perhaps the drivers are similar.
I'm sure if some small percentage of your employees aren't literally killing themselves from stress then you're not upholding your fiduciary duty to the shareholders.

By all accounts, Amazon is a hard place to work. It sounds like it's demanding, difficult and puts employees under a constant microscope that cannot help but increase stress. Given the track record, it probably surprises none of us to read these stories.

And I'm really wondering if I should type this, but I also wonder about isolated stories like these. Given the number of employees, some are bound to be very sick people, regardless of working conditions. Some are also bound to be entitled, unrealistic or otherwise simply willing to take advantage of a story like this to criticize an employer they felt wronged them. I have worked with more than one person who was willing to resort to self-harm as a manipulative technique, which is a horrible and unfair thing to deal with. I just wish I could read articles like this and say unequivocally that I know Amazon is the problem.

I have no facts in this case, so I can only hope that the person who attempted suicide yesterday gets the help he needs, from within Amazon or outside of it.

EDIT: I have suffered from mental illness myself and as a vet, I know work related stress quite intimately (though I have never had PTSD myself, people who I worked with still deal with it and it is very real). So I don't want to dismiss that this occurs and is real. But we also have large, aggregate numbers, which we never get from private sector companies. All we get are anecdotes, each of which could easily be explained away. And perhaps that's part of the problem. Should private companies have to provide concrete data on workplace health issues like this? We regulate workplace safety, why not mental health?
You absolutely do not need to have a horrible work environment to have a high performing team and company. There is zero correlation, even less causation to your claim.

This is apathy by management and it has now given way to cruelty (by the sounds of it).

Do not spread these excuses as fact and certainly do not accept them when you hear them.

Nice!

To run this with macOS, I had to use the GNU version of sed. I installed it with

$ brew install gnu-sed

And it is then called with 'gsed' instead of 'sed'.

As an avid Perl programmer, I had json_pp in my $PATH - for everyone else - it is here: https://metacpan.org/pod/JSON::PP

You can install it with cpanm:

$ cpanm JSON::PP

If you don't have cpanm, you can install it with

$ curl -L https://cpanmin.us | perl - App::cpanminus

The modified command line from above then becomes:

$ curl -sS 'https://www.google.com/complete/search?client=hp&hl=en&xhr=t&q=aurora' \
| json_pp | gsed -nE '/<\/?b>/{s```g;s`"|,|^ *``g;p}'

Here is a little Bash function to encapsulate this:

$ function c() { curl -sS "https://www.google.com/complete/search?client=hp&hl=en&xhr=t&q=$1" | json_pp | gsed -nE '/<\/?b>/{s```g;s`"|,|^ *``g;p}'; }

Which then allows you to use it like this:

$ c hacker
hacker news
hacker typer
hackerrank
hackerman
hackers movie
hacker fare
hackerone
hackers cast
hacker pschorr

she said she quit in the 4th paragraph I think, although when I read the first paragraph this was at least partially my initial thought. at top tech companies people get their ego's and self worth overly intertwined with their job and career progression because people around them are so impressed with the companies they work for, so I see where she is coming from.

I had this same experience at Facebook, and I feel for her, but when a manager wants you to quit (as her manager clearly did) take a hint or be prepared to get needled by the boss every time they see you.
He said that in ~2007? So that may be correct. x86 hardware virtualization has gone through several generations so his comments may have remained accurate even as hardware features were added.

Just thought I would share this site[0] with the caveat that these stories are anecdotes from people who obviously hate amazon so there might be some bias. I, as a former amazonian, can at the very least identify with a lot of what is said there (as well as some of the good things said elsewhere), and most of it doesn't look out of the ordinary, especially so if you're on the wrong team with the wrong manager.

My story: My doctor told me to quit. After an anxiety attack and stress induced kidney stones, he told me that my paycheck was not worth the damage to my health. I stayed on long enough to collect my next stock vesting and then bombed out. I even refused their gag bribery on the way out. Fuck that place.

Is it just me, or does it seem trivial to MitM this HDCP API by just faking out the certificate chain, then faking out the method return values?

> Fortunately this doesn’t compromise the security guarantees of the original API because of the way Microsoft designed it. To prevent a MitM attack against the API calls (i.e. you hook the API and return the answer the caller expects, such as HDCP is enabled) the call is secured between the caller and graphics driver using a X.509 certificate chain returned during initialization.
> Anyone have experience using Sailfish OS?

Yes, I use SailfishOS as my daily driver. I should note that I'm a Linux user, and developer, so I am technical.

SailfishOS satisfies all my technical requirements. Admittedly there are things that I would like (e.g. containerising/jailing functionality), but I understand that Jolla has limited manpower.

It meets all my communication requirements, and developing for it is awesome (I don't use that word lightly).

> Any reason to think it wouldn't end up like Firefox OS?

I don't know about FirefoxOS, but SailfishOS, thanks in a large part to Nokia before it, has a strong community from the Maemo and Meego days. e.g. https://talk.maemo.org/ and https://together.jolla.com ; also checkout the IRC channels on Freenode.

The community is very smart and dedicated. I think with a fully opensource SailfishOS, it could continue to maintain the OS without corporate sponsorship (i.e. Jolla). To give credit to Jolla, they really help accelerate development of GNU/Linux on the mobile.
Quake was targeted on a CISC-design general purpose CPU, on a very different process from modern ones. Those factors likely explain much of the difference in clock speed. They just couldn't make 320MHz parts as easily then. Even modern x86 CPUs are RISC inside and have microcode to execute the CISC instructions.

These particular RISC-V parts are targeting the microcontroller marketplace where there's little RAM required.
