Morning,

How are you?

Noticed your message this morning. I would like to get in touch with you regarding your search for a new role. I currently have a few in Amsterdam area availabel. Can you send me a mail at daniel.scheepbouwer@darwinrecruitment.com?

Thanks!

Daniel
That's cool, I can get .2 cores free. No one else offers this. Do we get an ip? That can be expensive for Google.

Do you happen to know of any good scientific breakdowns of this project ala Thunderf00t and his Water Seer / Solar Roadways / Fontus videos? Doesn't have to be a video necessarily, just somewhere I can read more about why the project won't work as described. Thank you!
For some probably very good reasons I can't figure out - you can't sign up for the free trial as an individual from the UK - only as a business. So I guess I won't be trying this.

I ran into this 2 years ago on Swift when I was creating an emojified version of Twitter. I wanted to ensure that each message sent had at least 1 emoji and I quickly realized that validating a string with 1 emoji was not as simple as:

if (lastString.characters.count == 2) {
// pseudo code to allow string and activate send button
}

This was the app I was working on [1]; code is finished, but I'm not launching it (probably ever). The whole emoji length piece was quite frustrating because my assumption of character counting went right out of the window when I had people testing the app in Test Flight.

There's a substantial difference between someone dismissing your idea, and someone demonstrating how it breaks the laws of physics. Every project will have its naysayers, yes, but when your idea is literally impossible maybe it's time to listen to them.

So couldn't Google flag emails which have links to "data:text/html" as suspicious?

You could go through the list of sites on the EasyList for adblock - which are full of porn site ad block rules - and block those sites.

But either way it does hold something potentially valuable. Show a numpad and have a "connect the numbers" passphrase, just like you draw the shame now. And you connect X numbers that you choose yourself

As a westerner that spent time in Poland and lived in one of these buildings (in a renovated unit), I can say there were things to like.

What amuses me about Kickstarter is that the stuff that's actually going to work, that's 100% definitely going to ship - that is to say, Alibaba resales, existing product repackaging, etc - are the one thing that Kickstarter doesn't allow.

But if you want to create a project that literally breaks the laws of physics, something which a high-school science student could demonstrate is physically impossible, Kickstarter will proudly slap their editor's recommendation on your project and help you pimp it to the media so you can widen your net and catch more suckers to siphon money from.

Stuff like Water Seer, Fontus, Solar Roadways, Triton Artificial Gills - that's all I think of when I think about Kickstarter now. Their brand is utterly toxic to me, and don't even get me started on Indiegogo!

Even if the data says women are paid less, it doesn't say why. Correlation does not show causation. The implication is that there is gender discrimination. Research by women into the gender wage gap has explored a large number (but not all) reasons for this and shown the actual gender wage gap when taking into account actual reasons is only as high as 8%, with more research and experimentation underway to account for additional reasons. This is the most current objective research on the subject I am aware of.

Summary with a link to the research paper, which is really good science as demonstrated with experimentation and doesn't try to sell a narrative, BTW. Worth the read.
http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/2016/03/ilr-school-resea...

"New research by ILR School professors Francine Blau and Lawrence Kahn finds an eight percent gender wage gap that cannot be accounted for, even after controlling for observable variables that influence workers’ pay.

Gender discrimination in the workplace COULD be a cause, they suggest."

By far, the most common complaints I have heard when researching about GCP online are the following:
1) You cannot use SQL in the same way other platforms allow you
2) Only a subset of language features are supported for Java and Python and it is a little hard to know when you will run into that issue
3) As a combination of 1 and 2, it is not easy to migrate out of GCP and this makes it a kind of vendor lock in.

While many people seem to agree that the platform itself works very well, if you are developing on GCP, free credits or not, doesn't this mean you are knowingly getting into a platform that will be hard to leave?

Can someone who has worked with GCP address if these concerns are still ongoing? Also, are there some positives which are not easy to see from the outside which might have helped you choose them/stick with them?
Hmm... there are laws allowing you to make backups of licensed content. Can you explain more about how license would forbid you from storing those backups on Amazon server?
Concepts – Placeholders
If your supply/demand argument works, then why is rural Europe suffering from long term unemployment when European cities long-term have more open positions than unemployed? Why is it, that in southern siberia, where there is massive mining and forestry industry, there is also massive unemployment and people move cross continent to Moscow to find work, despite the fact that Moscow has almost no real industry.

I don't think this general notion, that a company can have some kind of intrinsic evil or goodness that is somehow immune to management changes, changes in competitive landscape, and generational shifts resulting from the passage of time, is really rational.

Companies are not people. Companies can't have nor lack a moral compass that tells them right from wrong.

Companies are run by people. These people are the ones making the business decisions and doing the work that enables the company as a whole to do ethical or not-so-unethical things.

The people running these companies can and do get replaced. And when enough of them get replaced, the past actions of a company will no longer be representative of its potential tendencies from that point onwards. This is very simply because a new set of people will be the ones making business decisions and doing the work, and these new people will become the real moral compass behind the company's decision making.

And let's not forget the fact that even people can change. So what's stopping them from changing while running a company, which would thereby be reflected in the actions of the company itself?

All of this change tends to happen slowly and gradually, but change itself, for better or worse, is inevitable as long as a company remains solvent.

Of course, I'm certainly not suggesting that I know for a fact that Microsoft itself has turned an entirely new leaf. In fact, I find all of their recent actions toward limiting user freedom and privacy as disgusting, exploitative and unethical as most others in this thread.

My point is, however, we should try to judge each individual action of a company on their own merit or lack thereof, rather than always viewing them through a lense tinted by some extrapolation of their actions from 20 years ago into some fundamental measurement of the company's intrisic goodness or evil. At the very least, we should try to make an effort to calibrate our lenses to weigh new information more favorably than old, because otherwise, even when the company itself may have long moved on, our opinions of them will forever be stuck in the past.
Has GCP found a way to integrate with Google Domains yet? I had to transfer a domain that I'd bought on GD to Route53 because I couldn't figure out how to get redirects with domain masking.

These places never do well because:

2. Failure to fix. Cars end up taking up space due to their owners inability to fix and/or put them back together. Then it's up to the 'coaches' to become lowly paid mechanics and put the thing back together for them for next to nothing just to get the car out of the garage.

> What's up with cloud instance naming schemes?

There's at least 2 performance dimensions for provisioning an instance: vCPUs and memory. Often also GPUs, local SSDs, local HDDs. And then you have multiple generations of hardware, which aren't 100% comparable to each other.

So coming up with a "fully systematic" naming scheme is not really possible without listing all the parameters, and then you lose the benefit of having a name.

There certainly is. I'm not sure where in my post you're detecting that sense of absolutism you're reading into it. But culture, like everything else in a company, is also shaped by its people. Which means culture can change as well. Any change will be a slow process due to inertia, but it can and will happen if enough people in the company want it to happen.
They specifically avoided that in the early days of designing the language. Typedefs, macros, meta-programmation, overloading operators like () or -> are common in C++ but lead many people to completely change the language. So much so that there are C++ codebases that cant be read by standard C++ developers. The C# guys avoided that pit. As a C# developer I can read any codebase and know what's happening. That's not so true in F# where people are prompt to create their own operators (like ||>) and types.
Yup, I do not know what's the appeal of airbnb.

Little disclaimer, that I am not rich and travel on cheap, so it's from cheapskates point of view.

Airbnbs are neither cheaper, nor more convenient than a hotel/hostel/ etc. When you go to a ho(s)tel - they are licensed, they are cleaned everyday, they give [0] you towels, clean sheets, etc. And many hostels are cheap, have personal rooms, have full kitchen, wifi, etc.

With airbnb, I had experience of cleaning a dirty kitchen, fridge full of mold, from some leftovers, buy cleaning utensils for kitchen and bathroom, slept in a bed full of cat hair, etc. It's like couchsurfing, just without all the couch surfing benefits for a price of extremely expensive rent. Airbnbs are not regulated, they do not account for nothing, etc., personally it's horrible.

So I better travel to hotels/hostels, through booking.com (or similar). I do not pay more than on Airbnb and I get much better service on average (e.g. 24h reception, cleaning, consistency [1], easier to deal with etc.).

All in all, personally for me Airbnb is extremely expensive and unregulated rent with poor service, which does only economical harm for local economy for both - hotels/hostels and long-term rents.

[0] probably more correct way to say that it's included in the price.

[1] 'consistency' - I mean that I know (or at least easily imagine) what a hotel/hostel for XX dollars in YY country should feel like. Whereas with airbnb it's a cat in a box, with some extra surprises/rules on arrival.

It could be entirely my fault. However, your comment struck me as odd. You presented the issues seemingly from a moral high ground and overly black and white. It's somehow always the other's fault. I get the impression that you're a troublemaker. Visiting your HN profile, you're out to convince people that having free speech implies that denying the Holocaust should be allowed. I think it's important to hear the issues of commenters such as you, but we shouldn't let the extremists take over the conversation.

Reading about a lack of a right to deny the Holocaust in Germany makes me especially angry, because it belittles the suffering and deaths of people who actually died in the Holocaust and other genocides.

My wife and I had an interesting observation about these apartment blocks.

They were built really quickly, often on the outskirts of cities, where there was plenty of undeveloped land. They were often placed in large groups. The landscape was bleak at the beginning. Huge gray apartment blocks spaced in a random fashion.

There was a lot of space between them. Large empty spaces. Sure, footpaths were set down, grass was sown, and small trees were planted. But in the beginning, they looked bleak.

Fast forward thirty or forty years. The trees have grown huge. The playgrounds are no longer depressing. On the outside, they are actually very nice. They were insulated and painted and are no longer drab. These developments have a park vibe to the, with the large trees, asymmetric building placement, and large open spaces.

This is not taking into account the conditions inside, as those varied from country to country, city to city, and development to development. Many have been modernized, but some still have the fundamental problems mentioned by others.

The moral of the story is that large trees and open spaces make for pleasant living.
None of this should cause a table lock: at best you will just lock the affected rows and at worst you will end up with a predicate lock on the where clause.
