Hi ganessh,
Thanks for the feedback! The initial questions are not directly related to the articles you see, they help us to better understand what interests you.

Initially, everyone only sees two articles. We push new articles to your feed every couple of days. The next push is this afternoon.

I understand that it's confusing that one only sees two articles without any further explanation. I am working on a coach mark right now to clarify the issue for new users. It will be available with our next release next week.

Thanks for the feedback, this is really valuable to us and I appreciate it.

Does this clarify the situation for you?

> Companies are run by people.

That's only true to a certain extent. Don't forget companies are mainly run by profits. That's what really ends up deciding how the company is run.

Do you think a "good guy CEO" would stop Microsoft from extracting billions of dollars worth of royalties for bogus patents from Android and Linux vendors? Of course not. If there was such a CEO, he'd be quickly shut down by the board. And if the board were "sweetheart angels" that would ask for that, too, they would be replaced by investors.

So companies are really more like a machine, and the people are more like cogs in it. The machine's main goal is to produce profits. If one of the cogs says "no, that's not what we primarily want!", it will very likely get replaced. It takes a tremendous amount of will power to fight against the machine's desires, and it's usually only strong founders that can do it (Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk).

But those are the exception, not the rule. And even then, it's more about delaying profit gratification, rather than foregoing some profits altogether. It's about them knowing that if they do it their way, the company would be even more successful and profitable in the long term, while the machine's forces demand the profits right away.
It is technically available but it isn't universally free and most people who have a choice elect for private treatment anyway. NHS dentistry in the UK has a very bad reputation, mostly deserved.
Think about how native apps were a step backward in term of UX. People needed to open the store, read the description and take the decision to install, figure out that they had a good-enough network so they could install the app, then wait 30 seconds for the app to install, enter the app, go through the on-boarding to understand how it works, ...

Websites are much easier. We make a request in Google and load a website in seconds that gives us just what we're looking for! It provides instant gratification.
It is also proven that people are more willing to stay engaged once they've received some value. Smart developers will know when they can ask visitors to install the app, receive push notifications, ...

With apps it's not uncommon that we don't remember why we installed it because the app didn't give us instant value.
With PWA, users will associate the app with the gratification it provided at first use and will remain engaged.
Ah the classic anti-cloud post that pretends to understand everyone's use cases and economics. You realize that everyone knows how expensive this stuff is. You realize that people plan and model growth around these figures. You realize that despite all of this, many people still go with cloud solutions because they get other benefits.

I mean ffs, I would be laughed out of the room if I went to my investors and said we were putting everything on Vultr. And fwiw, we're not cloud based for the exact reasons you mention (some spot usage). It makes sense for our business model, we have predictable computing growth needs, so we go bare metal. But I understand why that doesn't make sense for other people.
NASA’s interplanetary radar spots tiny derelict satellite in lunar orbit
I signed up about a week ago from Germany and it worked fine. I didn't have to provide any VAT number, but they wanted my CC number, stating that they won't charge anything without my prior confirmation.

Today I got an email saying that my free trial was extended to 12 months.
I'm glad to see this idea gaining traction. Passwords are a lazy solution that is often not needed. This type of login is ideal for websites and services that I might use less than 4 times a year.

I usually log into such services by doing a password reset every time I visit their service, and this technique at least removes the risk of password leaking.

There is still a divide in the UK - unlike general medical care, dental care is not 100% free at the point of use (Similar for optical care).

Dentists can take a mix of private and (public) NHS patients or specialise purely in private or NHS. If you move to a new area it can sometimes be hard to get into a practice as an NHS patient.

NHS dental care is heavily subsidised but not entirely free (See here for prices where I am in Scotland - https://www.scottishdental.org/public/treatment-charges/)

Typically, if I get a check up and need nothing done other than scale and polish the cost is around 15 USD (The exam part being free)

As a consequence, having some dental insurance plan is not uncommon here - my partner needs more dental work than I do so has such a plan called Denplan.

Let me put it this way. In many (but not all) cases I would much rather Google be responsible for my security rather than some random startup whose primary objective is to stay alive, not take security seriously.

I'm presuming you already have plans in place to pay the VAT on any charges you accrue though, it doesn't look like Google do this.

This is what worries me the most, plus Google stipulate that your usage of the cloud platform must be for economic benefit, not for personal use.

AWS don't seem to have this restriction and they will collect and pay VAT on your behalf. Why doesn't Google? Is it some sort of tax dodge?
I'm not sure how true that is? Would like to see some statistics on how many people elect for private vs NHS. Myself I've never had private dental healthcare and have no complaints, especially since I am paying probably an average of around 150 USD a year for my dental care and can pay as little as 30 USD a year typically.

In France the melody played backwards. Housing blocks, which I've read were also praised by communists there, started as little paradises. Not too disconnected, out of the box parks, daily shops (groceries, hair, ..), some tiny lakes, sport fields even some times.

Fast forward decades, many of them became ruins and barely liveable places (for tons of different factors).

Now they've been a thorn in France's shoe, some neighborhood have been recently deeply remodeled. A good 50% of blocks, towers and bars have been destroyed and replaced by smaller blocks. The difference in scale makes the place liveable. I couldn't believe the impact on the city.. Having smaller heights and tinier blocks instead of prison like huge and dense structures brings back life and peace.

Previously there were renovation plans but they just fixed breakage and applied a new layer of paint. These would quickly become dirty, with graffitis back soon too. But the new blocks are still clean after 2 years.

My feeling is now that housing projects were a necessary error of the post war era; but they're far from optimal for a sense of good life.

However in order to do this you have to enable billing, unlike with the free tier of App Engine. I'm always wary of these things because I fear I'll screw up and run into a huge bill somehow. I currently have a pre-paid 1€/month VPS with $european_competitor to prevent this.

There is a small but vibrant community that uses hangouts video conferencing to play tabletop roleplaying games, with the added bonus of having sessions automatically saved to youtube. There are also people with unmonetized youtube channels that consist of videopodcasts: hangouts video conferences between several people talking about whatever.

For these use cases restricting Hangouts Meet to gsuite customers means Hangouts is dead for them. I guess most people will switch to videoconferencing with Skype+OBS and streaming live to Twitch. It will work but it's harder to set up for non technical people.

Of course google does not owe me nothing and they can do as they like with their (until now) free product. But it's a pity that these common use cases that were possible with Hangouts are going to be discontinued.
I just think there should be a minimal housing arrangement that everyone is entitled to, it might not be great but it would help motivate people to move out, and also people won't be jealous of other people that got a better house on welfare.

This is deeply misleading.

All non-emergency health in the UK is mediated via your GP. Except dentistry. All expert medical procedures in the UK will be carried out by an MD, no matter what part of your body they're on. Except for your teeth. For any serious medical treatment in the UK that requires anaesthesia, or surgery, you are likely to be treated at a general hospital which happens to have an appropriate unit. Except ... dentistry, where they have specialist dental hospitals.

Finally, treatment on the NHS for all medical conditions is free at point of use, except for prescriptions. Except dentistry, which is merely subsidised, and generally provided by dentists who work privately, and offer to provide slightly different treatments on the NHS than they do privately.

Please don't confuse "Ubuntu" with "Linux". What you are saying is something like "Fire is bad because it burns people".

Hell if you can't find a distribution to suit your needs nothings stopping you from starting your own.

Google Cloud is having it's annual NEXT conference: https://cloudnext.withgoogle.com/

Events like these (whether Google, Microsoft, AWS, etc.) always have multiple big announcements which are worth discussing and it seems many people agree.

There are numerous benefits with using a major cloud provider so while the outbound bandwidth is expensive, surely you can see how every business has it's own needs and should weigh the costs for themselves. As a GCP startup, we're scaling very economically on their platform and wouldn't give it up even if the bandwidth was free elsewhere.
I don't understand why they can't just write in the contract that you assign copyright of everything you submit to the company as your work?

If you work on your own projects outside company time and never commits it to a repository or whatever is used then there should be no problem - and if you do then you better have an agreement in place or it becomes the property of the company.

On the other hand if you work on side projects during company time then there shouldn't be any legal trouble for the company by not claiming it as theirs, from the company's perspective you are just goofing off which you could also do by browsing reddit or whatever, it shouldn't really be different. Of course if you are incorporating parts of company code into your side project (or probably looking at company code related to what you are working on) then you have made a derivative work, which would already be covered as copyright infringement - but otherwise it's just a work performance issue.

I can't really see these "everything you do belongs to us" clauses as anything but pure greed, but maybe that's because I have grown up in a place where this isn't the norm (and it probably wouldn't be enforceable anyways).

I agree with you that `filter` is less explicit than something like `copy_if` (C++).

Does it return elements matching the predicate or not matching it? I struggled with this for a while in CS.

After learning different programming languages and getting some field experience I noticed that the `filter` pattern is pretty common in the programming world. It's one of those pervasive functional patterns that are so practical that they were included at some point in imperative languages.
App Engine and G Suite development has been stagnated for years now. Google has also alienated business users with its bait-and-switch sales tactics.

>Hearing aids have changed my quality of life (at age 40).

I've had mine for 6 months. I'm 63 now. They have changed my life as well. I still have some tinniness but the tech has been adjusting the curve and other factors each time I visit her and this last time a few weeks ago the sound quality got much better.

There are still places where they don't work or get overwhelmed by background noise, like at a live baskeball game or football game but I can live with that. I'm now missing only a few pieces of most conversations and music sounds better as well. I also have audio dyslexia so that accounts for some inability to perceive parts of some conversations. The HA don't help with that.

One place they work for me that has some background noise is in my car. I listen to tech podscasts during my commute and most times don't have any issues unless the podcast has problems with too much dynamic range. My car (a Honda Civic) is a 2014 model and does a decent job blocking some road noise.

I was very resistant to getting hearing aids until I read about "Hearing Loss Linked to Accelerated Brain Tissue Loss" [1] and that did it. I'm trying to take reasonable steps in diet, exercise, and with nutrients to prevent or delay dementia. Like most of us here on HN I make a living with my brain and my quality of life would be impacted if I can't think through complexity and problem solving.

At thanksgiving I was talking to my father-in-law about my hearing aids and he also was resistant. He got his first pair a month ago and is extremely happy. He is 81 years old.

My doctor sells hearing aids but actually recommended that I use one of the big box store's services. With a 12 month warranty you can't really go wrong and the prices was about half of what my doctor could sell them for.
