I get the argument, I really do. I was young once, and would reinvent any and every wheel I could just to not pay for anything! But at a certain point everyone grows up and starts to value their time more than a few dollars (typically when you get a family started).

I find that developers are especially prone to this even with salaries that are typically 50% or more higher than their national averages (500%+ in India). With all this extra disposable income, we should be spending it supporting other developers and using the tools that they make to make OUR lives easier!
PROFIT.
I think any CEO that takes $1M/week out of a failing company and claims credit for a predecessors' good bets is going to get some negative attention. Add a little dash of do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do workplace policy making, some obviously stupid acquisitions, throwing huge parties where you're the guest of honor, hiring retirement-age network news anchors to spruce up a new media play, and you're infamous.

Snap Investors Should Be Very Worried About This Number
You spend a lot of time thinking, and interruptions negatively impact that. The concept that you only think while you type is non sequitur; if that's the case then even with all of the hotkeys you're still going to lose your train of thought every couple of minutes while you test, navigate, or dwell.

Again, the kind of software development people claim they do online, and what I see day to day have no connection to one another. If you're literally spending a whole day typing then you're extremely unusual. Even when writing fresh code with no front end, a lot of time is spent mapping data to structures, requirements building, diagramming, testing, or just considering the most maintainable way to solve the problem(s) presented.

These programming speed challenges that have popped up in the last few years are lies too. All these people do is pre-solve problems slowly and thoughtfully, then regurgitate those solutions within a very small timespan on the day. That's why many of them let the contestants create their own problem to solve, or give them very generic problems (e.g. twitter clone).
I went to a talk a few months ago on autonomous vehicles that was headlined by a guy from GM. Very fascinating perspective that they seem to have.

The term the speaker used that stuck with me was "peak car". The idea that between ride-sharing (uber), self-driving, and the move back to the cities, we are already at a point where we are producing fewer vehicles per person than before, and that this trend is going to continue downward.

This is why they bought Cruise, why they're building Bolt EVs, why they're doing a lot of their biggest projects right now- to survive the transition from a creator of consumer goods.

How to Powerhouse your Wushu
Ask HN: Good frameworks for outlining a story?
Not really a techy subject, but there are so many smart people here familiar with a lot of resources so I thought I'd ask. Looking for a good, concise framework to outline a story- would include the basic elements as well as any manadtory items to highlight at some point (i.e. later in the writing process where ever it makes the most sense later). The intended use of this is to brief a writer to actually flesh out the story. Thanks
My purpose was not to start an argument and I certainly respect your right to an opinion, I just strongly disagree.

I don't think an artist has a duty to anyone but themselves, especially on the internet. Should medical devices be designed so that they don't harm people? Definitely. But the factor there is that you're actively selling/distributing it to the public - or at the very least, you are making certain guarantees about the function of the device.

This website/artwork makes no such guarantees and as such I don't see how you can reasonably expect that it should tailored to any specific audience. Again, in the time that you and I have spent commenting on this - you could have either PM'd a mod to add a NSFW tag to the title, or modified the site itself to suit your needs - that's what's awesome about the internet.
Yeah but for 90%+ of transactions, if you are being paid by a company, you can almost always request a paper check instead of an ACH transfer (sometimes with a fee). In that case they either have yet another account for check writing (which won't be "secret") or they give away their "secret" ACH account.
How are they in terms of safe driving? I saw one youtube video[0] where a pedestrian had to stop because the car went when probably it should have waited for the pedestrian. Now, I've probably done that a few times as a driver too, but the hope is that these automated cars will do better.

The reason why it's increasing is because they are winning business. You can's use that for anything other than anecdotal evidence. You need to look at the industry as a whole if you want to say anything meaningful or conclusive and not even that is enough.
> Those who are keeping jobs in the media division in the newly merged operation include Jared Grusd leading the News vertical (including yahoo.com, aol.com, HuffPost, and Yahoo News); Geoff Reiss leading the Sports vertical; David Karp leading the People and Community vertical (including Tumblr, Polyvore, Cabana, Yahoo Answers, Yahoo View, and Kanvas); Andy Serwer leading Finance media (including Yahoo Finance and Autoblog); Michael LaGuardia leading Finance product and utilities; Ned Desmond leading TechCrunch and Engadget; Alex Wallace leading OTT video production & distribution as well as lifestyle & entertainment (that includes BUILD, RYOT, Yahoo Celebrity, Yahoo Style, Yahoo BeuYahoo TV, Yahoo Movies, Yahoo Music, and Yahoo Entertainment); Dave Bottoms heading up distribution products (Newsroom and video OTT products) as well as growth, monetization, and syndication; Tim Tully leading all of engineering; Dave McDowell leading subscriptions, commerce, and customer care (including Yahoo Shopping and AOL Shopping); and Mary Bui-Pham leading our operations (including design, UXRA, analytics, and program management).

The problem with consolidations like this into bigger and bigger conglomerates is that it reduces editorial independence in favor of a false sense of corporate unification among all the "verticals". The heavy and overweight company has a "great" vision which involves being everything to everybody. But that never works. End result will likely end up providing a lukewarm mediocrity in them all.

What Yahoo probably should have done was divest; instead it allowed itself to be swallowed whole by an ISP whose sole goal (as evidenced with its malfeasance to destroy Net Neutrality) is be able to selectively prioritize traffic in the ways that are most profitable to them... Ergo, the objective of this kind of empire is not to track down the truth and inform people about what is really going on, but to entertain and distract.
I disagree. I naturally ask advise from people who I know to have extensive domain experience. That is, I ask my plumber buddy about the best water heater to buy. I ask my realtor buddy, where are the homes selling the most. and so on.

I think they call it a crossover, which is kind of a car / SUV hybrid.

Model X is 198″ L x 82″ W x 66″ H. A BMW x5 looks more like an SUV and is 192″ L x 76″ W x 69″ H so the BMW x5 is -6"L, -10"W, +3"H. (Or consider the 2009 Mercedes-Benz G-Class which very much looks like an SUV, but is again only 184″ L x 71-72″ W x 76″ H. https://www.cars.com/research/mercedes_benz-g_class-2009/)

For comparison a BMW 3 series is 182"L x 71.3"W x 56.3"H So it's -16 inches L, -10 inches W, -10 inches height.

> I think the answer is in the fact that we've built so many workarounds that it stretched IPv4 well beyond its end-of-life.

Well, that is true in a way (I mean, without NAT (or something similar), there obviously would not be any way to keep going, so, yeah, in that sense, NAT has made things somewhat bearable instead of completely unworkable, thus making the migration to v6 less urgent).

But my point is that the reason why people (companies in particular) aren't migrating to a large extent seems to me to not be because it wouldn't be worth it for them, but rather that they lack the understanding to see that it would be. There are lots and lots of admins out there who operate IP networks and essentially have no clue of IP routing. They have grown up in a world of NAT, and just understand "the router" as "the public internet termination point" or whatever you want to call it. They don't even see NAT as a workaround, but as the obvious and natural state of affairs, because, what are you gonna do if you want to connect more than one machine to your internet connection? You need a router! And router is synonymous with NAT gateway, because that's why you need the router ... or something.

If your whole mindset doesn't even allow you to see the possibility of the natural state of the internet (i.e. end-to-end addressability of all participants), you won't ever notice all the workarounds that you are using. And if, say, port forwarding doesn't occur to you as being a workaround, but rather the obvious thing you just need to do to make some internal machine reachable from the outside, then you also never get the idea that IPv6 might be the solution. You just assume that IPv6 obviously also has to have port forwarding, because you still want to make internal machines reachable from the outside, don't you?

You could, but the point of something like Markdown is its extreme simplicity and predictability. The more features you add the more unwieldy it becomes. Look at HTML - great that you have have super-rich documents, but the downside is that 99.99% of what's on the web is way overdone. You can't read news articles without downloading cast amounts of cruft.

There used to be a joke that all program specifications expand until they include the ability to send and receive email, and I'd suggest that today all markup specifications expand until they include the ability to to display streaming video.
I used to think this was true in the tech world, but I don't think it is, at least not in the last 10-15 years. If power users were trendsetters, there'd be a lot more people running desktop Linux these days. I think the time in which the most dedicated and enthusiastic computer users reflected the leading edge of the rest of the market is long gone, unfortunately.

However, I do think turning off power users is a great way for the company to shoot itself in the foot when it comes to recruitment. They really depend on a certain degree of enthusiasm to get the kind of engineering talent they want to get, much more so than money or the work environment or perqs. If they no longer inspire that enthusiasm in as many people, it'll make it that much more difficult to bring good people together to do whatever they want to do next. Unfortunately the general trend seems to be a long, slow transition from being the BMW of the computer industry to being the Chipotle of the tech industry. I'm sure all the metrics favor being Chipotle (and gosh do they love metrics), but that doesn't do anything to help make Chipotle a desirable place to work at that draws all the best talent.

IMO it's because she's a female CEO who, when viewed through the lens of consumer products, failed miserably but was still paid a sum of money that sounds absolutely ludicrous to most Americans. She's an easy target for people who want to claim that she only got the job for being an attractive female.

I think HN readers remember a bit more about the state that Yahoo was in when she took over (hint: not good.) I personally viewed her job as managing the divestiture of the valuable part of the company (Alibaba) in such a way that it delivered maximum value to the shareholders of Yahoo. I think she succeeded on that front: the market was probably undervaluing Yahoo's other assets, and she was able to sell those to Verizon for a fair price after divesting the Alibaba stake.

tl;dr: Yahoo was long dead before she arrived. WSJ readers forget that. HN readers don't. Plus she's an attractive woman, which will always paint a target on your back as an executive.
Huh? Have you seen a model X? Are you making assumption of the vehicle's size from a single image lacking reference points?

Rest assured, it is indeed a picture of the model X SUV
>With nearly every kind of migration, there are numerous pain points. The "raw" formats are a nightmare to edit and update, and the compiled ones require several hours of changing syntax, image locations, etc.

And plain text is itself a nightmare to parse and do anything beyond reading it as a block.
agreed...That looks like a crossover, not a proper SUV. When I think SUV, I think about a Toyota 4Runner.
These things are all over the place in San Francisco, and are definitely SUV size
I am not sure that a 'generic' CEO would have had a different result.

Broadly there are commentators who seem nostalgic for the 'old' Yahoo (and by that I mean the turn of the century Yahoo) and they often express angst in 'over paying' the CEO more along the lines of "we could have used that money to may Yahoo! great again" rather than pay it to some CEO.

Then there are people who have some idea of the level of change Yahoo! has gone through and the number of founding assumptions that didn't work later in its life. Those people understand what Mayer was up against at least.

And there are a number of entrepreneurial folks who made lifestyle businesses out of one or more of the many Yahoo! APIs that powered a lot of web sites over the years.

My point is that the opinion of the commentator will often have more to do with their relationship to Yahoo! and less to do with how well or poorly Marissa did her job.

I have been working on a boilerplate that uses VueJS with typescript. It is still reactive. I setup the UI to closely mirror the structure of a .NET MVC app. It is much more intuitive to me coming from a strongly typed OO background.

Apple's company and team structure is very different from the more common organization model adopted by Microsoft, Google and others. It's a "functional organization", where teams and people are organized by expertise and not products as such. [1] That's why Apple, at least to the rest of us outside, seems to be struggling to make new Macs and not paying adequate attention to certain things even though it has so much cash (in other words, not being able to work on multiple things in parallel when things get tougher). It's not an easy problem to solve without making sweeping changes in how the company is organized and works. Is it frustrating for some classes of users? Of course, yes! But it cannot be wished away just by external pressure and commentary.

So distressing that the discovery of ipRGCs is still being ignored in articles like this and by the vast majority of researchers, so many years later. It's not sleep and health that are correlated so strongly, it's actually high-frequency light exposure since that's what whacks our daily hormone cycle mediated by melatonin. True, they don't 100% ignore it, just leave it late in the article and treat it as a sidelight. Bad enough.

In the end the truth is always somewhere in between, but there cannot be an "in between" without the other end of the perception spectrum clearly laid out like this. One of the reasons I'm on HN is to see these comments upvoted as they should be. The author clearly chose their words carefully and is not malicious or vindictive. And the perception is absolutely true.

If the original author saw this as a golden opportunity to explain themselves all would be well, granted they are not (too) guilty of anything aforementioned. That would go to show how constructive and valuable such feedback truly is.
