As someone who has been around a little while, I've noticed that your typical casual-dining chain has a lifecycle that usually ends with bankruptcy. Their staying power depends mostly on their quality (both food and dining experience) and somewhat on their trendiness.

Lower-tier restaurants, e.g. McD's or even Domino's, probably have some immunity to this problem because the expectations are rather low.

As far as pizza goes, I've been known to eat the frozen stuff, so the big delivery chains are a huge step up.

I have also noticed when dining at more ethnic places (in my case, Viet pho), younger people are more common there.

Ditto for tapas - which some people my age don't seem to like because the portions are small.

So if millenials are to blame - to echo the sentiments of another commentor - for the de-mediocritization of American dining, then I will die a little happier.
Thank you Apple for taking a stand for user's privacy.

"Vast majority"? I doubt that. I think the vast majority is doing okay, with a relatively small minority barely getting by, and exactly how small that minority is really depends on how you define it.

So is Windows. For example, you mentioned Kerberos. Only the Windows implementation is so limited, that you can authenticate against one realm only. What if you need tickets from more realms? In Windows, tough luck.

And no, you cannot replace the Windows Kerberos implementation with another security provider.
I was more confused as to why they don't just move. The first woman who gets $1k in social security -- she would get that check anywhere, right? She could get a 2bedroom apartment in Oklahoma City for around $500/month. I'm using OKC because I'm familiar with it, and it's a fairly big city, so there's a good chance at finding a job there. I'm sure there are many locations like OKC around the US.

Let me be explicit: racists and sexists should find it impossible to maintain a social and professional life, until they stop being racist and sexist.

In other words: People you very strongly disagree with should find it impossible to maintain a social and professional life, until they stop disagreeing with you. For a society that values consensuality and freedom, this is shortsighted and naively self-centered thinking. Who in the world are you to judge? For much of the 20th century, the majority in supposedly "enlightened" societies prosecuted such a program against homosexuals. Many people doing this even thought to themselves that it was alright, because it was a choice -- just as I've read you advocate about other people's personal philosophy and political thought.

That's not a violent action, that's a highly effective non-violent action.

The human instinct around exclusion from a group is very strong. In prehistoric days, exclusion from the group was tantamount to a sentence of slow, lingering death. For this reason, when a group of people crosses the moral line of using such coercive tactics to enforce their will on another group, they are very close to the parallel moral line involving violence.

Freedom is consensuality. Consensuality can clearly be violated through power and social/emotional pressures that fall short of physical violence. A social/political movement that seeks to enforce its will against those it labels as "wrong thinkers" does not truly believe in consensuality.

Throughout history, such actions are only "highly effective" in contexts where there is effectively absolute political power, and even then, the authorities must escalate even beyond violence to assert their will. Short of that, we know from history that coercion always produces backlash. If you are truly on the side of justice, then you will eschew all forms of injustice, even when they are supposedly for the good. If you are truly for consensuality, then you should strive to convince your political opponents. It's not for me to know one way or another, but if you have devolved to the point where you have given up convincing, and only want to ostracize and shame them, then everything I know about human nature suggests to me that you are in danger of dehumanizing others in your heart and placing yourself above them. Historically, anyone who gets to that point has made the same mistake in their heart has become an opponent of social justice. It is exactly this mistake that was made against homosexuals, jewish people, and black people in the 20th century US. (Note the specificity of context/location when formulating your response.)
Since WSJ objectively is a scam site in the relevant dimension, offering different cotbent to Googlebot than to search users, it absolutely should be treated exactly like other scam sites.
> This would break the Internet. Domain names have to work the same everywhere. You cannot have domain names pointing to different DNS zones entirely depending on where you access them from.

Domain names point to different DNS zones already today, everywhere.

First of all, anycast DNS is a common example.

Second, there’s massive government censorship in many countries, including the UK, and there’s also some US ISPs that modify any and all DNS queries for some domains (noticeable by the fact that DNSSEC-enabled domains are stripped of the signature, and return a false A record there).

> Good luck in getting international law passed to take away TLDs from corporations. I just don't see it happening.

> This would break the Internet.

So? Giving corporations any control over the Internet has turnt out to be the far more breaking move already.

Google, for example, has recently massively destroyed support for IDN domains in Google Chrome – and no one bat an eye, despite it leading to billions in costs for many people and companies, some of which even had used an IDN domain in their trademark, and were now unable to use it.

Removing these new TLDs is a far smaller change.

Ask HN: Advice? Can't tell if me or bad job
Currently, I am employed by a "top" tech company in the bay area. Not the very top, but a company that tends to land in the top ~15 range in the various best places to work publications.

Title is product manager, but this is in title only as I am in the Enterprise Applications space. The real product manager seems to be the business stakeholder, and the delivery manager is the engineering lead.

I really don't see the value I'm adding but they insist on keeping me around - bear in mind I have no salary complaints as I am not cheap and they pay more than what is fair. This is part of the reason why I feel like a spoiled brat complaining.

The problem is that the work just seems so damn trivial. The "business" gives the requirements, usually a document outlining exactly what they need, down to the solution, despite our attempts to tell them to stop. Then I take these "requirements", regurgitate them into "user stories" and the dev team works on them.

Then I play middle man to get questions answered, but usually the DM can do this on their own.

On top of all this our team feels super bloated. I get constantly dinged for not "delegating" work, but truth is there is not much to do beyond what I said above other than responding to about 6 tickets submitted by the biz peeps. There are 3 other analysts on this team.

During stand up, people report what they did yesterday and they are tasks that take about 10 minutes to complete. Sometimes I rub my eyes and shake my head because it feels unreal. It seems like a bad joke that everyone is in on except me.

What should I do? I come from the product side and is this just what IT is like in general? I'm thinking it's time to jump ship, but I just switched out of a job after only a year and I've only been here a year.
I would give her a slack. Having something that is not childbirth to think about actually helps a lot during period before it - when you basically wait in pain and boredom for long. I understand the leading by example issue there and would not promote the story as example to follow, but still.

If the things go well (e.g. no injuries), there is also aspect of feeling able to do things and feeling strong while being expected to be iddle most of the time (babies sleep a lot at that stage and you are not used to be iddle at home). It can be quite frustrating.

This actually sounds like a really interesting/profitable problem to solve. I'm sure there are tons of sites that want to be pay sites, but also want articles to show up in google search results. But users don't want to get inaccessible results. Google (or whomever) needs some solution to handle non-free results intelligently. Allow users to filter out non-free results, to configure which journals they do have subscriptions to, etc. Even an easy way to make micropayments.

If Steve Jobs was still alive, I'd bet Apple would be working on a competing search engine with some of these features.
iOS comes with support for multiple languages.

My Surface 3 came with support only for Chinese without even an English option. I had to buy and reinstall a totally different SKU to make it functional for me (and this was an employee purchase program, grumble).

I get what you are saying, but when iOS can manage to support more languages than Windows, well, we are in a totally different world these days.

I guess they in that case could argue on the wording if they don't JUST react to gbot, but gbot and anyone coming from the google homepage.

They would have to react to just gbot when constructing the special google urls when the bot is crawling the site, tho.

On the positive side think of the meme of the passionate "starving artist". Starving never helped me do anything but lose weight, supposedly it isn't even very good at that long term. Nope being underpaid for the sake of emotion is a complete loss.

On the negative side think of the meme of enablers trying to downplay a screamer's actions as merely being passionate about his work, or even worse, the department he manages.
Without being all doom and gloom, we really are on the cusp of a massive economic change that will happen over the next 10 - 20 years

- Loss of jobs from automation
- Large scale commercial real estate bust
- large scale US municipal bankruptcy resulting largely from underfunded pensions (the states of Illinois and New jersey will both run out of reserves by 2030, probably sooner)
- Most importantly, neoliberal economic policy rests in part on a natural inflation rate. With shrinking populations, their is no natural inflation rate. Absent immigration, Europe and America would largely be flat or shrinking. No guarantee the immigration rates can continue to make up for declining birth rates.
If people are willing to pay you a premium, you don't need to capture "a majority of the news consuming market", you just need enough of those people to be profitable. Ben Thompson at Stratechery says he has a little over 2,000 paying subscribers- a tiny fraction of paying WSJ subscribers, never mind the people reading free content- and he's doing fine.

In fact, that's a known winning strategy in a lot of industries, not just journalism: let the suckers rip each other to pieces in the race to the bottom, while you deliver enough value to have fat margins. That's what Apple does, for example.

Jobs has form for this kind of thing, too (breaking something to force developer behavior before reintroducing it when habits have changed).

Best example: the original Mac had no cursor keys (to force developers to build mouse-based UIs). Steven Levy writes about it at length in "Insanely Great".

Flowtype isn't sound either. I don't know where this misapprehension comes from or why people keep repeating it; if you simply try to induce an unsoundness in Flow you'll succeed after about 30 seconds of trying.

An actual sound type system built on top of regular JS would be unusable - you'd have to disallow almost everything. The language is too "dynamic" to become properly sound.
Off-targets is something you always look for. In a research setting, you'll usually be back-crossing to the parental line to clean up the background anytime you transform something.

My experience is in plants, so my point of reference is agrobacertium tumefaciens transformation (agro). To say that CRISPR is cleaner is a massive understatement. It takes a little doing, though, with some labs optimizing for particular species. Some of these optimized results have been astounding, often with no detectable off-site modifications, and 100% efficiency (no need to wait for the T2s for homozygotes)!

I'm not worried. I suppose it's good to point out that it's not ready for full-scale gene-therapy yet, but I'm not aware of anyone saying that it is.

That's great if you want to pay for good journalism. That doesn't excuse publishers from showing you one page if you are Google, and another if you are a non-logged-in user.

If publishers want to attract people to get them to subscribe, they need to find other ways that don't violate Google's search policies that have been in place since seemingly forever around cloaking[1].

> Any place with crap culture is crap culture for almost everyone, no matter gender-identity or race.

I can't agree with you. If you work for a company that makes negative assumptions about you because of your gender/race, you'll have a worse experience than when they make positive assumptions.

It's about things like when you bring up an idea in a meeting, and it's totally ignored, and the guy across the table brings it up and it's suddenly genius. It's people acting like you always need your hand held even though you're a senior dev. Stuff like that.

While it's true that "white dude" isn't a singular set of traits... what it really comes down, most of all, is what your direct manager assumes about you. They could be biased for/against you for any number of reasons (like what college you went to, your accent, etc). But being biased based on your gender/race is probably one of the most common and strongest.

Furthermore, people who see things the way they do - who don't see their behavior as biased or abnormal - tend to clump together, creating a discriminatory culture. People discriminated against by it tend to leave, so it can be self-reinforcing. Those involved in it don't see a problem - someone they expected to be a bad programmer couldn't handle it and left, from their point of view.

Of course, you can have a terrible culture that sucks for everyone, too. Been there, done that. But there absolutely are situations where certain people/groups are favored and others are not.
Right, and case-insensitive is a harder problem to tackle.
I replied earlier, but here are a few more ideas:

* Ask if the company is involved in mentoring, community outreach, or any other type of philanthropic activity. If they do some things like Script Ed for example, they're probably nice people and not sexist d-bags.(Although I wouldn't assume that the inverse is also true).

* Ask if the company participates in any diversity initiatives or conferences.

Not in one myself but the most common pipeline management tool I've seen is a spreadsheet: either excel or google docs.

That line of argument would be more persuasive if it explained why tuition has increased at private colleges? Suffolk University is an unimpressive college in Boston that is at risk of losing its accredidation, yet charges $37K/year for tuition. Harvard, arguably the best college brand in the world, costs $43K. It seems like there should be a bigger delta between the two, right? Why not? Might it have something to do with the amount of loans students are allowed to take out with government underwriting? Perhaps.
I agree. Our CEO has children and his wife was due while I worked there. He only took a week off during the whole labor and recovery and was back in the office within a week.

it's ok but just ok. If I'm going for a really long time I have a bluetooth mechanical keyboard but it loses a ton of the value to carry it around. I go back and forth, currently I do a mix of web app dev (node.js/react frontend) and native mobile dev. If I'm mostly web app, I tend to use the iPad as my primary device. Native iOS dev is split with a Macbook Pro and native Android is all Macbook.
Doesn't that depend on what kind of developer you are? If you are just doing coding then anything that can run your ide and 3-4 browsers will work, but many developers also need to run raster and/or vector software, video software (even though I'm a coder I still have to do image and video work on a fairly regular basis), database software, etc. I have so many tabs open in my browsers that they often are using 4-8 gigs of memory concurrently. My ide often takes up another few gigs of memory. Photoshop takes up quite a bit of memory. I run 2 large monitors off of my computer which takes a bit of processing power. And so forth. In my experience it isn't to hard to push a mackbook pro to its limits.
Online Adverts are a form of micropayment. It's currently the only way to charge sub-cent amounts from users. It requires the third party of an advertiser, which is a very expensive middle man.

If we can figure out how to do micropayments without users needing an account somewhere (like PayPal), we can get rid of ads. That is the ultimate solution to this long-winding conflict between users, advertisers and content creators.

This sounds a lot like the Net Neutrality argument: All content should be treated as equal, whether it's pay or not, whether it's powered or supplied by the search engine/ISP or not.
