> Yahoo invented web at scale

This is true, and what Yahoo did in its early days was definitely impressive, but the talent that did it moved on, and was never replaced.

When I joined in 2013, I encountered a lot of systems/processes/whatever that would have been impressive in 2003, but hadn't been updated or replaced in 10 years, and the culture inside Yahoo was still stuck in a weird not-invented-here bubble where a lot of people thought their 2003 tech was still impressive.

Turns out, if you gut the engineering organization over a decade, you end up with a B team, and you're completely unable to attract the A players necessary to keep innovating.

There's a lot of criticism in this thread that Marissa didn't do anything worthwhile, but she sure as hell tried. All those acquisitions? Almost all of them were acquihires, in a desperate attempt to get A players. Most of those didn't stick around very long though, because there's only so much shit and technical debt you can stand, and then the company is out the money, and has very little to show for it. It could have worked, but it didn't.
No doubt books exist, but this is not settled research by any means, so I'd start with recent journal articles instead. I'd be interested in what you can find by searching at pubmed.com.

Meanwhile, here's an interesting start:

This suggests that inflammation isn't an artifact - but compensatory. If so, one should be careful about palliatives such as histamine blockers or steroids that might prevent your body from fighting back. (Sunlight might help, too.)

Some treatment ideas to reduce inflammation. But note, "natural" doesn't mean it ain't acting like a drug. Ginger is a very powerful antihistamine, for example.

My phone a couple phones ago was a Nexus on Verizon, it was pretty much stock Android except for a couple pieces of Verizon garbage that ended up on the phone and I couldn't remove without rooting.

The next phone, a Samsung Note 3 had Samsung's adoring additions, but less what I'd consider "crapware".

My current phone, a Nexus 6p, on Google Fi is pure Android, and finally doesn't have any extra nonsense on it.

(I also had a couple other Android phones before these that also had various carrier garbage on them).

Apple hasn't allowed this nonsense on their phones ever AFAIK and it's amazing that you can still buy an Android device, or at least a flagship one, that has anything but the stock OS on it. Considering that Android devices are by far more often sold than iOS devices, it's frankly inexcusable at this point.
Medicare negotiates a MFN clause, so they are - out of the gate - at the lowest rate any clinic ever charges, with no eye towards profitability.

Because it's well known in healthcare economics (or at least finance/administration) I thought the ~7% aggregate number would be widely published and that I'd be able to quickly find a link for you. For reasons I don't understand - it is not - but here is a link that has a chart/graph from Davita that talks about the phenomenon (in micro, not macro):

That discussion got me on a search spree. Apparently others have picked up on the root-analogue implant idea and it is now available in the Netherlands, maybe soon in the USA: http://www.replicatetooth.com/for-patients

This one is still made of titanium though, the Zirconia ones by BioImplant seem to make more sense.

Anyway, not a cure but at least you don't need someone drilling into your head when cavities win a match.
> If the laptop comes with Ubuntu pre-installed, what are the odds I can replace it with CentOS or Arch?

Very high.

For the most part, drivers on Linux are determined by the kernel version[0]. Arch typically runs a pretty new kernel, so anything that Ubuntu supports, will most likely be fine. (That applies to pretty much all desktop-oriented distros.) CentOS is server-oriented, and typically runs a pretty old kernel, and as such you need to be more conservative in the hardware you choose. That said, they do backport a fair amount of hardware support from newer kernels.

[0] The exception to this rule are closed-source drivers, but even those tend to be tied/limited to certain kernel versions.
For those of you looking for a nice little Linux laptop check out System76's Lemur.

https://system76.com/laptops/lemur

I have the older Skylake version and it runs just fine as long as you use Mesa 13 (I use Manjaro so it is not an issue).

System76 does little things such as commit driver fixes to the kernel and flash a custom bios and firmware to make the hardware run better with Linux. If you want to good hardware support on Linux you can't go wrong with buying laptop from them.
> The astronauts had faith in the laws of physics.

You have used an analogy here, in order to aid your point, but it is not valid. Laws of physics do not intersect with faith. At all.
Catastrophe, it's just a way of lookin' at it.
Can you cite some examples of what you mean? I certainly agree on Scala--after trying it out for a while it definitely seemed to me Java was not so bad after all.

(Specifically I'm thinking of things like the problems of doing builds of Kafka across different Scala versions. This was a couple years ago so maybe things are better.)
Really sucks that they're shutting down, was looking forward to POWER 8/9 based desktop machines.
yeah but their lives sucked while doing that. Good tools don't get the job done if you don't know what you're doing but make it a hell of a lot faster if you do.

Hello, you received a reply in another comment about adding more time tracking and reporting to Trello.

This goes right to the core of all of the issues/conflicts bundled into this acquisition from UX details up through to target users and culture clash.

Time tracking is a manager-oriented feature, not a producer-oriented feature. The users producing the work usually resent things like fine grained time tracking and comparitive producer reporting because it distracts from actual work, treats creative or complex processes as though they are part of an assembly line, encourages micro-management, pits quality against time, and emphasizes wage servitude.

Managers can use Trello to stress out their employees too, but not to the extent that JIRA-ish tools enable.

The problem is you are selling to managers who love to micromanage their employees and have nothing better to do than fiddle with configuration, reports, or have meetings with the people they hired to do that.

This is why developers who are smart will probably try to protect themselves by pre-emptively replacing Trello with one of the dozens of free or inexpensive clones before you can start corporatizing it and their company.
Does anyone have good resources on non-behavioral factors that affect health of teeth?

Growing up, I never brushed and did pretty much everything a dentist advises against. I never have had a cavity. With seemingly no consequences, it was extremely hard for me to find any motivation to change my behavior. I've often wondered whether there was something genetic, and today I wonder if maybe I won some microbiome lottery.

I finally started taking care of myself due to (a) gum disease, (b) breath, and (c) yellowing of teeth, but I'm nowhere near as fastidious as some people I know who regularly get cavities and have to get all sorts of work done.
You're probably right. But it doesn't explain why Apple is so good at this and so few other companies aren't. They must realize the confusion they're creating among consumers. Is it because they're still rooted in 80s/90s PC culture?

Nice brand names like MacBook doesn't preclude having precise model IDs, though. The MacBook range mostly has unique model names (and Apple publishes a full list [1]), for example.

As a counter-argument, an example from TVs: The same TV models are sold all over the world with different identifiers. They'll do things like tack on an "E" for European models. But it makes it really hard to find reviews, because the same Samsung model sold in the US as UN40J5200 might be UN40J5300E in Europe, and you don't necessarily know how to translate between the two identifiers (though they often have a system about what the letters and digits mean so you can decode them, kind of). You might find a review for Samsung UN40J6200 and hope that it's close enough.

Most important comment from the article:
"... would we really care so much if it was Woodward & Bernstein that did this? Was there a crime they committed other than breaking into some computers to copy data that voters should have been made aware of anyway? "

THIS
Habit, tradition, (Small-c) conservatism.

It's true we (most of us) don't absolutely need to kill animals for food. On the other hand there is a vast human momentum in the direction of raising, killing, and eating animals. That doesn't change overnight, or even in a generation or 5. It takes a long time to change such things.

My theory: It's for a similar reason that homosexuality has been taboo for so long. In the beginning, tribes needed to procreate in order to survive, and homosexuality didn't help with that, and it may have hurt. So it was written into old books: go forth and multiply, and don't have fun with those of the same gender. That won't produce offspring.

But now the challenges of survival do not involve "not enough offspring". So we no longer NEED to worry so much about homosexuality, not for 1000 years. And yet, the belief and habit of mind continues.

Respectfully, I think you may have missed the point of the article. In the committee hiring process that Facebook uses, it would seem that every candidate was actually not being judged purely on their capabilities. So telling folks to "distinguish yourself on your capabilities," while generally good advice, doesn't actually help if the process doesn't reward that.

If instead, as the recruiters in the article suggest, pedigree of college and other factors are being prioritized, then that's a problem. Criteria like this disproportionately disadvantages URM candidates in particular, which is how Facebook ends up with only 1% black and 3% latino tech workers, even after prioritizing diversity at the recruiter level.

> I don't think the decision makers are racist or sexist.

I recommend you read up a bit on [individual vs. systemic racism](1). An important point to note is that even if individual actors don't exhibit what you consider to be racism, the system that they make up can itself be racist. This is a really important point that often gets lost in discussions like this on HN, especially since the largely-white largely-male population here is unlikely to ever directly feel the effects of systemic racism.

> Trying to make it fair for one demographic will likely end up making things unfair for another.

Just to be clear, I think what you are trying to say is that adjusting for bias against URM candidates will inherently lead to bias or disadvantages to white folks. I would question any notion of "fairness" that relies on another group being treated unfairly. To borrow a common expression, when you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

There is no per-country quota for permanent residency, instead there is a worldwide quota of 120,000 employment-based green cards per year, and a law that says "no more than 7% immigrants with the same country of birth" (Note: country of birth, not citizenship).

The only countries that hit this limit are India, China, Philippines, and Mexico. The 120,000 global quota still applies to the rest of the World. Hence, there still are these potential long-ish delays, even if you're not from one of those four countries.

Sorry! Was originally a rewrite of https://github.com/q3k/crowbar so I chose a synonym.
I managed a full-service film lab back in the early 90s. C-41 neg, E-6 chrome, enlargements, copy prints/negs/slides, everything (we didn't do K-14, but just about everything else). We processed several hundred rolls a day, and I personally shot 10-15 rolls a week (we got film at cost, and processing was free).

So, yeah, I have quite a lot of experience with the nature of film photography.

Once the first decent DSLRs appeared on the market, I switched and never looked back.
I used JIRA in very small teams but took great care to configure it sensibly (it took quite a bit of work, I'll give you that). Everyone was happy and even commented on how it made life a lot easier than github issues or whatever other tool they used before.

The biggest problem JIRA has is tons of legacy that nobody needs (like subtasks, a pain in the ass to work with).

Configure the tool properly and it's actually quite nice to use, especially in combination with Confluence for specs.

Businesses will just lie about where the person is working. Also this is probably not constitutional. If the rate were left up to states to set it might be constitutional, but places like CA and WA would just set their rate to $60k, 50% below market, because that's where all the rich elites who want cheap indentured labor are.

Regardless of whether fluoride is a serious risk or not, it seems ridiculous to take a topical drug systemically. Fluoride works by inorganic reactions with the teeth themselves. There's no benefit to flooding the whole body with it. It's reasonable to be suspicious of water fluoridation when the same benefit can be achieved with fluoridated toothpastes, which deliver the fluoride only where it's needed.
Out of curiosity, do you happen to have tonsil stones and/or a strong propensity to develop tartar?

Isn't it a HUGE problem that it's not discriminated by cities according to its living costs?

I'm not an expert in macroeconomic policy but I guess it wouldn't be so hard ad doing the discrimination for say the minimum salary, as business owners/shareholders tend to have a better understanding of the concept of the price index than minimum salary earners.

And I'm saying this because tech companies in the Bay Area won't have such a hard time following this rule than startups in cheaper cities.

Which would be a recoil in terms of making all America have knowledge-based industries. Wouldn't it?

As for people taking the H-1B, would this be something better? Or worse?
I think it's intended to be taken more figuratively. Tech workers won't make 6 figures everywhere, but are likely paid way above average just about everywhere.

It's a procedural point, not a political one. Comments like the one above provoke inflamed responses from people who disagree with them, and vice versa, creating a cycle. Each time a provocation lands, the person who gets smacked (not really, of course, but that's what it feels like) feels justified in smacking back harder. On any divisive topic it's guaranteed that quite a few users will feel that way, so the threads are doomed unless we all contain ourselves in the first place.

This isn't a bad restriction to impose, because ranty provocative comments are nearly always less substantive, and we want substantive comments here anyhow.

You're mixing your analysis of tournament and cash games. There is no rake in a tournament, at least not in the same fashion. Also, I'm not aware of a tournament that allows rebuys or top-ups that give a stack larger than the initial stack. I don't really play tournaments, though. Cash games only.

I play often enough. If the table is too tight, I go loose and take all the blinds. Sure, beating the rake can be tough, but it's not impossible.
Inflation happens because we expect it to do. A company says: we expect inflation so we'll raise our prices now to get ahead of things. Competitors see prices go up and they raise their prices. Spiral upwards.

If people don't expect inflation, we don't get inflation.
With some powertop tweaks battery life can be as good as in OS X. I do in fact get a bit more juice from Arch than from OS X in my MBA.

My setup is a very minimal on Arch, so the comparison is slightly unfair but it shows my point. OS X doesn't do any special magic. Linux can achieve equally low power consumptions with decent drivers and correct setup.
The problem is/was never Linux. For me, it's always been X. At some point, it just stops working. I've had to reinstall from scratch so many times over the last 20 years that I've lost count. Tried again these last couple of months. Nope. The longest X has stayed stable has been almost 6 months, about 5 years ago. Same as 20 and 10 years ago. This time it was only a few weeks. After that, I'm lucky if I get a text login prompt at all. Maybe Wayland will be better but I'm not holding my breath based on what I've read so far.

On top of X's display issues, it has input issues, especially with trackpads. This should be self explanatory to anyone who's run Linux on an Macbook Pro and likely with any other trackpad. I think many of the issues can be fixed with many days spent on tweaking the drivers, but some of the issues don't seem to have a fix that the drivers support (proper double tap detection that only registers a double tap if my fingers are close together--should part of accidental touch detection--for example).

I really want it to work but X is simply insufferable in its current form. I shouldn't have to reinstall the OS multiple times just to test it out or debug X when it fails to load (it's just easier to reinstall). Ironically, everything else works perfectly for me, including all necessary software, wifi, nvidia gfx, etc.
It takes a lot of time to turn a laboratory discovery into a reliably working prototype, then longer still for the industry to agree on standards and branding, and even longer to ramp up mass-manufacturing and get the distribution chain working.
