Employers are unwilling to invest in employees. Then they wonder why the (good) employees they do have don't stick around.

U.S. labor market: Everyone running around, looking for "something for nothing." We had a couple decades of outsourcing and off-shoring, coming from this perspective (and law and regulation effectively neutered on its behalf).

Let's hope the MBA's and short-term-focused executives find out just how fungible they are. (A suit is, after all, just a suit.)
I also wonder where to start, but with TeX and luaTex, and not LaTeX. Is that a distinction worth making?

Besides the moribund old "Soviet Intelligentsia", nobody takes Hegel seriously today for good reasons.

Those at the philosophy department still doing the mental gymnastics required to engage in Hegelianism are evidence of the sad state of philosophy.

I've been back to work for a month following a 3-month layoff. I knew my company was heading down a dark path at the end of last year and started to reply to recruiters that would contact me. When a dozen people were marched into a room and to see HR and the two owners sitting together was still quite the shock though.

I made sure to keep a routine during my time off. I set my alarm and got up on time each morning. After dropping my kid off at day care I came home and did an hour or so of applying to jobs.

The first week or so I only applied to dream jobs, and slowly started to expand my search. My search criteria expanded as follows:

Exclusive work from home, iOS Developer, making $$$+

Willing to go to an office 3 days a week, iOS Developer, making $$$+

Willing to go to an office 3 days a week, iOS/Web Developer, $$+

One day remote, iOS/Web Developer, $$+

Pays me money

I ended up landing a job that offers one day a week remote and a $10k pay raise. I'm not doing iOS work though. Persistence is key, start to expand your network now, and honestly, might not hurt to try to beat HR to their own game.

No one (visibly) gave pause when I explained that I was laid off, it may have helped that I would follow up my reason for looking with mention that former supervisors and owners are willing references if we get to that point.

Yes, including some bad weather scenarios. Drones are likely not great in torrential rain, but things like flooding and fog shouldn't be issues for them whereas they would for drivers.

Emergencies (presumably political or military) will bring challenges of their own (since drones could conceivably be doing espionage and might be shot at), but can be routed around, and for times of unexpected demand it's a lot cheaper to store and launch many drones than it is to whistle up many trucks and drivers.

OF course the use case is limited at present due to payload limitations and so forth, but is there anyone who doesn't expect that to keep improving?

> Because Uber drivers are all self-employed, they're not unionised or protected in any way. Thus, Uber pays its drivers a pittance, and is able to undercut and undermine existing taxi services who are forced by unions and law to pay drivers a living wage.

The fact that Uber drivers willingly and voluntarily engage in that work rather than pursuing alternative work doesn't align well with your narrative.
Wouldn't more bakeries enter the market in this scenario?
Do you mean that you actually don't believe it? As in, "I think that's a false statement"? Or do you mean that you're jokingly in "a state of disbelief", as in… surprised or taken aback?

I have friends in low cost areas that make around what you're describing. They don't continue doing that because of willful disbelief, they understand that they could move and make 2.5x their current income. They just like the lifestyle. Which, totally makes sense to me. It's an amazing lifestyle.
So be it to who? The simple phenomenon of outsourcing shows that getting a "fellow countryman" isn't worth such a drastically higher cost to many clients. Yes, hiring people from the Indian subcontinent has burned many clients, but after getting burned they are often more likely to look towards Eastern Europe, where we are "close enough", than to hire North Americans at that much higher cost.

Time zone isn't so important, inasmuch as many freelancers in Europe are happy to adapt to North American hours.
I'm painfully aware of that. :(

I know your comment is more of a joke, but Uber has already seen enough success to never end up on this kind of list.

They might be in a different list along with Pets.com or Myspace though.

I assumed delivery in this case meant local delivery like food.

Is anyone else not seeing this on the front page (or any page after that)? It's not on Ask HN either...
> another file that initializes a static variable with a function that calls NeverCalled

How would that work in actual code? Static initialization must be done with constant expressions. C++ has constexpr functions, but they cannot call NeverCalled unless it is also marked constexpr, can they?
The fundamental problem with Juicero (at least as an ambitious startup) is that juice isn't a product with broad appeal, especially after the recent trend against sugary drinks. You could overcome price barriers and other issues if there were some real demand, but I just don't see it.
G. K. Chesterton wrote, “Imagination does not breed insanity. Exactly what
does breed insanity is reason. Poets do not go mad … mathematicians go mad.”
A tangential point - do men like the environment any more than women? Or do they work there because of social expectation and the need to keep a high paying job (men being bread winners and all).

During the two years at my previous job I didn't see many men who did like the job, but yet they stuck around for the pay. Women who didn't like the job just left for to pursue something with lower pay / something they liked.

You could have a point if it cost $10 million to hire a senior competent software engineer. It does not.

You could have a point if bread cost $75 to produce. It does not.

Many of the companies complaining about a shortage of people are posting record profits. Workers are receiving the smallest share of the pie in many decades.

In many cases this really is just stingy employers complaining because they want to keep most of the profit for themselves.

In other cases businesses can't raise prices because their customers don't have any money (because wages are so low and the 1% captures so much economic surplus, stashing it away in investment accounts, causing investors to dash around shoveling tons of cash at anything that looks like yield). In this case hiring workers at higher wages wouldn't be sustainable without raising prices. The "solution" in this scenario is not to suppress worker's wages even further; that only makes the problem worse. The solution is much higher taxes on the ultra-rich to filter the money out of investments and back into the economy where 10: it can be spent by workers, raising profits, leading to expansion, higher pay, more spending, more profits, goto 10.

If we were in a capital-constrained environment then it would make sense to cut taxes to make more capital available for investment. We aren't. We haven't been in decades. Taxes on income & capital gains >10m should be much higher.

As of about a month ago I'm officially Windows free. I have an iMac for desktop and had a 2012 MBP for laptop (that dual booted Windows via Bootcamp). A torrential downpour that soak my backpack ended up destroying that MBP so I bought a used Dell Precision workstation (that came with Windows 10) and put Fedora 26 on it. I don't miss Windows at all. I can play my games on my Mac and while I'm a professional C# dev, I'm working on migrating away from that stack so it isn't like I'm any worse off.

Edit: One thing that I do wish was on Linux is Microsoft Office. I'm working on a book (which I will need Windows for, so I'll have to run it in a VM until I finish the book) but being able to use the Word on Linux would make things so much easier.
Well, why AMP, and not plain HTML? It's pretty clear at this point that AMP isn't any faster than simple HTML, and some of the limitations are clearly shift control (and advantage) to platforms like google, away from the hosting site.

I mean; stripped down pages are way overdue, but it's mixed in with some unnecessary powergrabbing and arbitrary restrictions. And it's not like it's hard to strip down pages.
Totally agree. The author seems to write about a specific subset of side projects: SaaS with a possibility to commercialize.
Pardon me for using hearsay colloquially. Since we are not in a courtroom, I didn't think anyone would presume I'm using legalese, but I digress.

The issue I have with the article, referring my toothless remark, is this part

>told me that I needed to unpublish the story because the meeting had been confidential, and the information discussed there had been subject to a non-disclosure agreement between Google and Forbes. (I had signed no such agreement, hadn’t been told the meeting was confidential, and had identified myself as a journalist.)

So no one told you that the meeting was confidential, it was, and they asked you to take it down.

Ok, yawn.

Then from the article you posted:

>Somehow, very quickly, search results stopped showing the original story at all.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Then you follow through to see no proof anywhere. "Bandwagoning" as I said previously, on how this other group lost funding for criticizing Google. Then an email confirming the NDA and that Forbes willingly took down the article.

The whole time this person has no evidence or proof of these things actually occurring. Saying things like "it stopped showing up in search" "I couldn't find it in the cache" "no one told me there was an NDA" "I heard Google say the +1 button helped your rank" all lack any ability to verify.

Journalists love to journal, though. So let's continue with this gossip.
Would you be up for hiring someone for $10/hour?
7700k is an awesome CPU.
I just prefer 4 more cores at the $400 mark price, and was willing to risk it :)
"Things that change over time" = mutable. It's in the dictionary even.
"Uber for X" is a way of describing companies that facilitate gigs, like a workforce marketplace, I think. Freelancer.com would count(not as a failed example, but an example).

The article says to me that the team/company had no initial actual need to use TypeScript as seems author doesn't get a point of its purpose (of course code writing will be slower on the initial stage as it's not just about writing the code, but also about defining its structure which gives you the benefits with the growth of the project) and so a bad decision was initially made.

In my opinion Vue is ok for the one kind of projects, with smaller team, smaller project lifetime and Angular is ok for other types of projects. React is alien here, ie not really needed.
The high tech finance sector is non negligible also.
One of the VC-funded businesses we all knew would fail has finally failed, is this an early indicator of a market correction?
HelloParking - this sounds like just a failed startup.

http://SpotHero.com has done this and pivoted towards working more directly with parking garages.

They're doing quite well as of late - https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/spothero
Part of the traffic is a function of the fraction of people taking the road, so I can't describe it without using diagrams. However, I remember that it's called Braess' Paradox:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braess%27s_paradox

And actually, the example I remember is stated in the mathematical example on that page if you scroll down.

Applied to Musk, the answer isn't necessarily to go back to communicating through managers, but probably just to be more deliberate about designing traffic (communication) patterns when you see gluts happening.
This work sounds interesting. Boston is an expensive place to live though. What are the salary ranges for the various roles?
> imagine trying to buy a product or service, but nobody will tell you how much it costs, but instead tries to subtly hint that you should name your price

There are tons of products that don't have a listed prices, just a "call our sales representatives". Heck, the job listings don't list salary expectations, even when they're cold calling you.
I thought the fundamental (and well documented) problem with Juicero is that they over-engineered themselves into a product that was far beyond what a consumer would ever pay for a kitchen appliance. Kinda like exactly what the article says.
This is why I am scared to criticize Google

You just did, in what followed that comment.
Well, once Uber and Lyft came back, the alternatives all basically fizzled out. It's kind of hard to compete against VC subsidized rides.

The telling thing to me is that Uber and Lyft came back to Austin with no concessions after throwing a hissy fit and leaving. That tells me that they saw something that scared them and they needed to squelch it before it escaped to other cities.

Edit: I stand corrected. The state legislature overrode the Austin laws. (Side: Wish I could put an overstrike through my comment.)

Make no mistake, this is 1990's Microsoft levels of predatory behavior. It is nothing to be praised.
You're acting as if a compiler behaving reasonably is impossible. Yet Java compiles to code that runs basically as fast as C (modulo cases like where you use vectorised code in C and the JIT fails to auto-vectorise), but with rational and predictable behaviour in all cases.

I suspect UB is going to seriously damage or largely kill off statically compiled languages in the long run. Speculating JIT compilers can compile code in such a way that all executions are defined yet which does not experience the speed penalty C programs suffer, because the optimiser is free to make risky assumptions that are checked on the fly and de-optimise if they fail. It's heavy to have a full blown compiler running at the same time as your app, but desktop/laptop machines tend to have spare cores doing nothing anyway, and on servers the compiler is only running for a short period during warmup anyway and then is hardly used again.
Sideways related, Hong Kong island is in many ways a miserable place to live unless you're rich, but for the slightly middle class the footpaths over the hill are a very pleasant way to get out on your own in some nice scenery. I was surprised at how few people I ran into up there (although someone is going up regularly to maintain the tiny little shrines).
Even if the machine was $50, I don't think many people would want to spend that much for the privilege of being locked in to Juicero proprietary juice packs, letalone spend kitchen counter space to a dedicated juice squeezer machine. And everyone who did now has an exquisitely engineered $700 paperweight.
When Office Meetings Leave the Office Behind
hold my beer
Did you just call pressed veggies and fruits sugary drinks? As in more or less the same as Pepsi? The problem with Juicero is that it was a scam, pure and simple. Overpriced bullshit and awesome profits, at least that was the plan. Thank god it's over. Now we're just waiting for Uber to fold and then maybe we can start actually making a difference, as opposed to spewing bullshit until no one can tell the difference.
