Thanks for sharing.

That said, I don't really get your examples or your message.

It sounds more like you got ensnared in a few things that could happen at any company. You acknowledge this in the end, but you also said:

The more I worked at Amazon, the more I felt that certain aspects of its
culture were so toxic for me that I was barely able to keep going.

As to your examples, it doesn't sound like your situation was like the "Bonnie Situation" at all. Your PM asked you to source PR opportunities. You reached out to an event organizer. The organizer messaged your colleagues (without necessarily violating the NDA.) You got blowback because he followed up with your company's general PR channels. (Was there a mutual expectation that he only followup with you?) Unlike the "Bonnie Situation," you weren't pulled into trouble, you were the one shooting the gun. It sounds like you'd have no way to blame "Faras." Your choices (and bad luck) led to the blowback. It'd be on you and maybe flow up to your PM. Another key difference is that there isn't an attempted cover-up for reasons disproportionate to the severity of the crime.

Also, your example re: your FB post with (happy) swearing doesn't seem unjust, especially if you're (my assumption) using your FB profile to promote AMZN products. You're saying this incident tipped you away from getting a promotion. Respectfully, I doubt that's accurate.
DX12/Vulkan isn't going to be a serious thing for a few years, though. At that point, I think that Optane is going to be a serious feature and upgrading to post-Skylake chipsets is gonna be on the table for those enthusiasts.

If you want paying customers, then yes, you need everything in place to capture them and retain them.

If you want attention from VCs, or to boost your personal brand, it's less important to have product/market fit, a scalable product, an optimized funnel, or even a published product.

Step 0 is to figure out why you want to do press outreach in the first place.
Finally some common sense in guidelines (appearently, some people need guidelines for this stuff because they have no common sense).

Of course, the flip side to this is the notion that autonomous vehicles will free up the existing police force to do more important things. In most cities there is a distinct lack of officers on the street, usually due to budget constraints. Now they can take all of those officers used for monitoring roads and highways and have them do other, more important things; all without increasing the number of officers or budget.
It's based on Handoff. Your devices already have a notion of which device you're currently using, which it uses to trigger Handoff (so you can resume an activity on your new device that you were just doing on a previous device). AirPods hook into that and switch input to the "current" device (but I believe only if it plays audio; that way picking up your iPhone won't disconnect you from your computer if you're not doing something audio-related. Of course, I don't have AirPods myself, so I can't verify, but I believe that's how it works).
Negative press rarely spells out exactly what you're doing wrong, though. It can be helpful, sure, but PR is not a good tool to discover product/market fit for two reasons.

First, it is way, way too slow to iterate. Second, the press is not your customer.
Try Postgres. I'm serious. For a dataset that should easily fit in memory, doing graph queries CTE's in Postgres can work very well.

Tip: Some systems only remember your last 3 or 10 passwords, so it's worth rotating up to Password9 and then coming back to Password0. Tip given by my boss who received it by his chain of command of old people who couldn't remember the password change. True story.
It sounds like that's just taking calls on both devices, right? AirPods intelligently route all audio, not just calls, and it does it based on the notion of what your "current" device is rather than whatever device is emitting audio (e.g. if you're using your iPhone, AIUI it won't switch to your computer just because your computer started playing audio).
Yeah, if you think of word "communist" as a name for an ideal, perhaps it's possible. But most countries that were designated communist (or socialist, which is even more misleading) were also undemocratic, and I happened to be born in one of them (Czech Republic).

The "communist" part of the system I was born in actually worked somewhat. What didn't work was absence of democracy, which means there was one hierarchy of power. This was the cause of nepotism, corruption and pollution, just as it is in China.

QS was seriously broken for a long time. I understand someone else finally picked it up and started fixing the bugs, but I don't know why anyone actually kept with QS during the long broken period.

Even back when QS was under active development by the original author, it was still pretty buggy. I actually had a separate keyboard shortcuts app running in the background with a single shortcut which would relaunch QS for those times when QS decided to crash.

I am curious what you relied on QS for that Alfred can't do. Everything I remember doing with QS is doable with Alfred.

But he's right to a lot of people. The situation was better when there was some market segmentation between the MacBook Air (for those who care about weight and noise) and the MacBook Pro (for those who care about raw performance). Cramming both use-cases into one SKU will cause at least one to suffer.

I guess tho the main problem was that few primary school teachers in the early 90s actually had even basic programming competency. The only ones I knew who could do any programming beside the trivial textbook examples were other pupils.

> This was an extremely thought provoking article.

It is. I keep thinking about an article I once read, maybe ten years ago, about a chinese woman who was 123 years old (according to her own account). The reason she gave why she lived so long was that she used a very strange two daily sleep cycle: she slept only once every two days.

Off coarse this is extremely anecdotal, even if it proves to be true, but I can't stop thinking about a possible connection: what if she grew so old because her slowed down circadian rhythm also slowed down the aging process by slowing down the 7-8 day cell growth cycles?

While it's somewhat interesting to hear first hand information from what's arguably one of the defining moments of the last decade of the web, I can't work out what crazy logic allows the following to make sense:

> Burroughs relays that Jobs’ vehement refusal to support the technology may have had less to do with security considerations and more to do with the fact that Adobe, as a partner, couldn’t be relied upon to address said security issues

The tweet's referenced actually compare the public "poor UI/power consumption" reason to a "lack of open dialog" with Adobe, which meant Steve (and thus Apple) couldn't count on Adobe to respond in a timely manner to security issues.

That is the absolute definition of a security consideration. How/when the vendor responds (if at all) to security issues is absolutely in and of itself a security issue, when the answer seems to be "silently and with no words/never".

I'd say to just treat any of the common passwords as a single character when validating. If "password" was treated as a single character, then password123 would only count for 4 characters. It might be tough to explain to users, but it would solve the problem.
More parameters also means that the likelihood of overfitting (the training set) increases. Currently (and rather unintuitively, considering that ML is an applied optimization field, and optimization is usually concerned with underfitting), the bane of ML is overfitting. It's easy to supply a model with high representational capacity, but it's impossible to learn anything interesting in a reasonable amount of time. You'll learn how to fit your training set perfectly because your model has enough degrees of freedom to let you fit a million points arbitrarily well, but that doesn't mean that the resulting fit describes the data in a meaningful way. This is why a core tenet of ML is to prune parameters whenever possible. Neurogenesis increases representational capacity whenever it detects that your underlying model does not have sufficient representational capacity to fit the data; from this perspective, you start small (undercapacity) and then you gradually increase your capacity until you hit the optimal model. In other words, Neurogenesis is also a way for you to minimize the number of options.

On the other hand, giving the model with more options than it necessarily needs and letting it decide what is important will usually backfire. Rather than learning a few meaningful/functional features, it can just go ahead and completely fit the training data from the very beginning. It will therefore decide that everything is important, because all those extraneous parameters will let it squeeze that last 0.5% out of your training set.
Seems handy for the callbacks, but will this be as useful once http2 is the default?
Sure so go rent a really nice car and drive them once a year. There are only so many people who's hobby is actually driving that they would do it over 1/3rd of the weekends in a year. If you live in say the bay and never drive except to go hit these great roads then no reason to actually own.

Or buy a motorcycle. Small, actually much more fun to drive.
Well, explicit is better than implicit when there is a very real chance of missing the implicit, especially when just going over the code quickly.
The return example is a good case of this, reading over code you can easily miss that those particular brackets are supposed to be a return.

I think though that this.state = { list}; is just as easily understandable as this.state = { list: list }; once you are familiar with the syntax, and may be even more easy to understand due to the being easier to read.

Documents Manipulation APIs – 25% Off GroupDocs.Total on This HolidaySeason
If we used standard/open IM/AV call protocols (lets say XMPP, and XMPP Jingle) you would just have two accounts, just like you have a personal and a work email address.

You can then choose to either:

- use a client that supports multiple accounts/profiles (either one at a time or multiple concurrent logins); or

- use two separate apps.

"I want to keep my private and work life separate" is not a good defence of fragmentation. By your logic, we should encourage every single email provider/software vendor/project to use their own subtly different protocol, and require the use of their own client software.

And then you get something like the adaptive cruise control on my BMW.

The bloody thing controls like a human just learning to drive - only focusing on what's right in front of it, instead of the general road situation, and making correspondingly jerky and drastic (albeit safe) maneuvers.

I often have to look ahead for it, and turn it off when I see a situation brewing that will entice it to drive like a moron. Then I handle that situation (typically by doing essentially nothing, e.g. just coasting for a few seconds), and turn it back on.
> if you look at the lower end skylake (i3 and pentium branded CPUs) processors versus the same price range $100 to $150 AMD CPUs.

This is bullshit through and through.

Between $100 and $150, you get any of AMD's FX 6xxx and 8xxx line. We're talking about 6 and 8-core processors whose performance are, in the very least, comparable with some of Intel's i5 and i7 offerings.

And Intel's comparable offerings cost over twice what AMD's processors sel for.

Latin America’s Schindler: a forgotten hero of the 20th century
Facts are meaningless unless put in perspective.

I didn't address the specific isolated facts, because in perspective they are insignificant.

If someone has e.g. punched 100 people, that someone doesn't get to look astonished and outraged when someone 1/10th their weight merely slaps them.

If your way to look at the world is to isolate every fact you see and look at it on its own, without reference frames, and even worse, not to even ask, "why are they showing me only this? Is there a bigger picture I should be aware of", then that's not MY way of looking at the world.

But it works for many, to jump from whatever they are shown to the next thing, and never question why and in what context. So, those people can knock themselves out with outrage over the "Russian influence" on the elections or Saddam's WMDs.
Use virt-manager to build disk-images
Anyone try combining a VR headset plus a Kinect? Seems like a natural combination.

Microsoft's HoloLens has a Kinect in it. They use it for gesture recognition and mapping the room. The amount of stuff Microsoft crammed into that headgear is insane. Four cameras, a Kinect, a GPU, a specialized GPU for the AR, an IMU, a Windows 10 PC, a projection display, speakers, and a battery. It works pretty well, too, although the projection area is too small.

Ask HN: Seeking print fulfilment API for spiral bound calendars
Apart from Apple's offerings, which are only available for Apple users, I'm generally very disappointed in the range of personalised photo calendars I can buy online. They all struggle to produce something simple and elegant — even when I choose an all-white theme, the calendar bit generally looks like a print from an Excel spreadsheet.

So I was looking to see if there was a service with an API I could send a PDF + shipping address to, and have a spiral-bound wall or desk calendar printed and shipped. Then I might see if I could create something better (kinda hypothetical at this point, though I do have experience generating PDFs client-side).

Anyone know of anything? Bonus points for UK/European options.
Skull cap tubes?
I'm returning my pair of Bose QC35 today.

The built in mic is terrible to the point I couldn't use it for video conferencing. Had to switch to the mic on my MBP to be intelligible.

I haven't figured out if I like the noise cancellation or not. It leaks voices a lot, and when it's quiet there's a very faint constant background noise. Feels like I just replaced one noise with another. It also gives an illusion of a change in pressure in your ears when you put them on, but maybe that's something you get used to.

Sound quality is ok at low volume but it's very uninteresting overall. Maybe I've been spoiled by my other headphones.

Also, my head is really big, and they aren't really comfortable for me longer than and hour or two.

I'll agree that the bluetooth handoff implementation works great though.

Overall, if they were < $200 I'd kept them around, but $330 is just to pricey for what you get.

I'll be keeping a close eye on this space in the future though. I'm expecting some great innovation in the coming years.
What? No. They did Blender, Handbrake, Battlefield 1, and something else I don't remember. It met or exceeded the competing Intel chip in every one.

I know, I was surprised too... I used to buy AMD, but haven't in some time now. Perhaps I will again...

"Not possible before."

This one is literally true though. They had a semi-custom chip designed to implement features/performance that don't exist with Bluetooth 4 yet.

I think Bluetooth 5 will catch up. In fact, I'm betting that what they have is basically a radio chip designed for Bluetooth 5 (it's basically just Bluetooth LE with higher bandwidth and range) with some extra features for their pairing tech, but since the spec wasn't finalized, and they couldn't wait, they just rolled it out as proprietary tech.
Google buying DoubleClick?
I agree, this is certainly not a demand driven product, I've played around with VR since the 90's and for some use cases it is unimaginably useful, yet for daily consumer entertainment the experience is not physically comfortable enough, interactive TV was not popular, people generally fill their time with lay back viewing, even when given more 'exciting' alternatives. Look at videogames, despite the potential we are still mostly stuck in realistic looking scenarios that permit us to play out violent fantasies, their are scant few titles that explore the deeper side of human experience, the indie scene is much richer in this regard, there is so much growing up to do in the 2d medium I am sceptical that adding a dimension will resolve these entrenched issues.
