While I'm sure this is useful to the right people, unfortunately my reaction when I see a new Google service announced is "Nobody should use this, it'll be abandoned in six months and shut down in twelve."

I hope Google realises this is a viscous cycle where people avoid signing up for their services, causing low usage, causing them to abandon it, causing lower usage, causing them to shut it down, causing people to avoid signing up for their services...

Wow. That author has issues.

Id like to think if I met anyone that bitter in real life, that I would commit to their on their grave.

Yeah waiting on tables is hard work, often with very little positive feedback or money but shit, they make it sound like slugging through he damn fields of Normandy on dday.

No I'm sorry, but just fucking no.

I really hope I get to live long enough to see society have to tackle the "oh fuck, currency as a concept is useless" problem, aka the steps leading up to post-scarcity...Highly highly unlikely...

Is there ever going to be a post-scarcity era, or is scarcity contextual? Perhaps it is just going to be a moving target, like AI seems to be? Once a chess playing program that could beat the world champion was a pipe dream. The same goes for Go playing programs. Once a pen was a specialized instrument that had to be handcrafted for certain professionals. Now, they are practically free. Once, getting water involved significant personal effort for almost everyone. Now almost everyone one in the industrialized world thinks of it as something practically free.

One of the things which might throw a monkey wrench into the futurist/sci-fi idea of a post scarcity society is the Pareto Principle combined with the perception of relative poverty. Across all of history, productivity has been unevenly distributed. Even people who are wealthy on global/historical scales will feel poor if confronted with wealthier neighbors. Psychologists have concluded that the feelings of relative poverty are very real, and it's this relative poverty which is most strongly correlated with criminality, not absolute poverty.
I can't speak to what the OP was thinking, but given their above statement of this being an industry wide issue, it seems to me posting this privately to a single company would only address the issue within that specific company and very little to nothing would change in other companies due to the nature of competition. While this isn't nice, I guess, it does seem to be the nature of development and business. Just my 5 cents, though, I've been wrong before.
Is Google actually more likely to shut down a given service than any other company?
Using Cameras to See Around Corners
this one hit me hard. 5 years ago my then wife collapsed in my arms from multiple strokes. she was 30 years old. our son was under a year at the time. she still can't walk or talk, but she's at least not nonverbal anymore and able to swallow food. we also developed our own form of communication that enabled me to keep her out of a home for a long time.
But, it’s really not that terrible. Intel has plenty of competition; if you just need “a computer” you can get a rpi for $25.

Realistically there’s no way to buy digital video without also fucking yourself into a walled garden that restricts your use of your own licensed content. There is no real competition there for the experience people want—video they can play on whatever they want to, whenever.

That's a nice move, copying a play from the infosec industry and calling this "responsible encryption", implying that any/the other way is anything but responsible (just like companies do with "responsible disclosure").

"If these tech companies were 'responsible', they would help us -- your friendly, caring government who knows better than anyone (including yourself) what's best for you -- spy on everyone and everything because otherwise, you know, terrorists will kill you and paedophiles will rape your children."

I'm not sure of any DNA projects underway, though I recall someone mentioning a group that had gone through asking for samples. I have had my DNA analyzed and can prove my heritage through the records. This helped enable me to have dual citizenship.

In our current society, all supply shortages of media are artificial

If you take supply shortages of media as being caused by a long term lack of profitable remuneration/funding for media, then there is nothing artificial about it. It's the funding model which is broken.

Quantum Machine Learning [pdf]
I was reading Girl Code today:

https://www.girlcodethebook.com/

One of the girls there describes her expectation of coding as coming from Hollywood: indecipherable zeroes and ones, weird symbols, all very fast-paced. When she saw that it was just "System.out.println()" to make something appear on the screen, she realised how much more mundane this all was.

I guess this sort of suggests that "code" is some kind of secret, difficult thing, which may be off-putting to some people. I agree that most people wouldn't balk at the word "code", but if you can make even fewer people balk, why not do it? The worst that can happen is that you broaden your search and get more people applying for your job.

Where does this rumor even come from? I don't see any evidence for it but there's always a HN comment about it. In fact, I've never had a Google service shutdown but a dozen smaller companies have disappeared in the meantime.

Also, this is a B2B product which is treated much more seriously than their standard consumer products.
I think the uses I've seen of it have been recent enough that that authors probably aren't focusing much on that aspect. If you compare those three words, 'interpret', 'understand', 'hermeneutic', the first thing that stands out most to me is relative commonness in the English language. Hermeneutic is far less known than the other two—so you'd think you'd want to avoid it unless you really need it (assuming your goal is to communicate which, sigh, sadly it often isn't so simple of course).

The other thing that stands out becomes clear when I try to find forms of 'interpret' and 'understand' that actually match the way 'hermeneutic' is used. I think they would be 'interpreting' and... well, there isn't anything very close for 'understand' really. I think the way it's used (when it's used as an adjective rather than referring to the field of study) the meaning is something like, "involving interpretation"; e.g., "the hermeneutic necessity inherent in all communication". It probably also has some connotations that authors like brought in, like an implication that the interpretation relativizes or at least colors whatever it is that's being understood/communicated?

In any case, I think it's still kind of unclear and annoying because even if there is a legitimate difference, I'm pretty sure people just use it to sound cool over frequently.

Basically, a lot of opposition--and not by the people you might assume. Disney doesn't care; they're not going to let their copyrights lapse by accident. But a number of organizations that represent individual content creators, such as photographers, are concerned that upon lapse of copyright, large companies will make a minimal effort to contact the copyright holder or estate, call it a day, and then profit from the work.

It's not my favorite, to be sure! But I suppose we share an appreciation for John Zorn, and there are other noisy bands out there that we probably both like. Can we agree, though, that this sort of debate ought to be relegated to the fringe, to be enjoyed by people with weird hair who like to jump around and scream? ;-)

The point of Bach, or band songs, is not precisely to be popular. At least I sure never got popular playing them. :-)
Side note: if your paying that much for beef for a burger portion, your getting ripped off.

Look the basic principle is: 25% to each: food, staff, facility, profit. Now all experienced managers know that profit is a variable.

The point being, never sell for under, unless you can guarantee an over. Which is difficult to say the least. Yes, if you have gaming section and can rip off your customers from there, go ahead (nb: this is why I never working in venues with gaming facilities). If you have an amazing wine selection or just plain know your clients are going to order great pricepoint wine? Well, just be careful.

Otherwise, you better be selling a lot of overpriced stock with low staffing rates, otherwise son, your going to come undone(as was put to me during training).

Look, all rules are made to be broken, but there are reasons why there are general rules of thumb. At %40, how are your staff doing, with all that running. Is the service good enough? Is your kitchen overstressed? Maybe no, if so - I'm happy for you, but do you think every place can run at %40?

Focusing on costs is the main thing. If you don't, you will find yourself in water deeper than you can handle one day. I'm happy that you can run at %40, I just hope it doesn't go over your head before you realise.
We gave our interns the 8GB models this year and they universally had performance issues that impacted their productiivity in a meaningful way.
I tried testing it out on a ThinkPad T61 to see how well it works with an older embedded GPU (Intel 965 Express), but I can't enable it (on Windows 10) because D3D11 compositing is disabled, it says D3D11_COMPOSITING: Blocklisted; failure code BLOCKLIST_

So does that mean that it is known not to work with that GPU? Can you override the blocklist to see what happens?

Edit: It also says:

> Direct2D: Blocked for your graphics driver version mismatch between registry and DLL.

and

> CP+[GFX1-]: Mismatched driver versions between the registry 8.15.10.2697 and DLL(s) 8.14.10.2697, reported.

Indeed that is correct, the driver is marked as version 8.15.10.2697 but the fileversion of the dlls are 8.14.10.2697, this seems to be intentional by Microsoft or Intel, note that the build numbers are still the same. Firefox is quite naive if it thinks it can just try to match those.
You have to be a very clever restaurateur to get away with $29+ entrees. This is not something you just plunge into on a whim.

Seems so, especially that most of the time we're talking about companies for which a given service is their only product.

Personally, I've learned to treat SaaS products as throwaway by default. That is, if I can benefit from it short-term, like in 3 to 6 weeks, I may sign up. But I don't expect it to exist in 3 to 6 years, so I'm not going to invest much into using it.
You also have cases like Portland where they shut down the shipping terminals which mean that all the things that would move by rail instead moves by truck now.

The amount of semi traffic from Portland to Seattle on I-5 has exploded, it certainly made driving that stretch a lot less enjoyable.

During the beta for a product, we were working on sending out daily summary emails to our users. We had a cron job which should run at 8:00 AM in the morning which would process the queue and summarize all activities into a single email.

It being a very long day, I deployed the job with the cron expression * 8 * * * instead of 0 8 * * * , which meant it ran EVERY minute starting at 8:00 AM instead of just once.

The next morning I woke up to a flurry of text and emails saying customers had complained they received emails about a hundred times. Thankfully, we had a pause in the job which meant it went out only a hundred times and not thousands as one would have expected!
We were using StackDriver for our AWS monitoring which they bought and killed. B2B definitely isn't safe. They've earned this reputation IMO.
There exists a practical attack against TPM-generated RSA keys, but it doesn't allow large-scale exploitation of Chrome OS devices.

With a few exceptions, all Chrome OS devices that include an Infineon TPM chip are affected.

Installing the TPM firmware update requires a hardware reset of the TPM chip. This means that all data held by the TPM will be discarded.

This includes disk encryption keys, implying all user data stored locally on the device will be lost.
Yes. Google's model is "user has zero say." On the one side of it is forced auto-update, and on the other side is forced deprecation.

Completely agree. Plus, after initial depreciation, 911s hold their value pretty well (particularly the 1999-2004 996 models). I view a used Porsche (as compared to new) as "90% of the fun for 50% the cost".
If you want to work as a software developer, chances are you'll have to move to Silicon Valley, San Francisco, Austin, etc.

Not that I disagree with your basic point, but that's a pretty narrow view of the software world. There are jobs for developers all over the place, even in podunk towns with a few thousand residents. Granted, that town might have like 3 total jobs for programmers, but a. that's an extreme example and b. "long tail". Consider all the mid-sized cities out there, as well as "non tech hub" big cities and there's plenty of places for programmers to live and work.

StackDriver is still available and can still monitor AWS: https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/quickstart-aws

Even if it no longer works for your usecase, it's not a Google originated service but another startup that was shutdown/acquired/sold which is what I was referring to.
This is a big deal. Thank you.
Stackdriver isn't dead. I use it today. You can still run it against AWS.
I don't specifically blame Google when they acquire a startup and shut down the service. We don't know the financial condition of the company before the acquisition. Would you rather Google wait for the startup to officially fold and then scoop up the assets in bankruptcy?

Their numbers definitely are adversely affected by these "acquisitions"
