I witnessed first hand an entire mobile engineering department at a major US company dissolved. Managers, QA, software engineers, a total of 20 hardworking, dependable people, were shown the door in favor of Chinese contractors who would do their job for a quarter of the price.

Empathy, it seems, is often a cherry picked virtue.

I get that the Surface Book is supposed to be a high-end device, but that is ... far out.

Still, as much as I dislike most of their software, I have to admit Microsoft knows how to build some neat hardware. If only it weren't so pricey...
Awesome, thanks for clarification. I think I don't quite understand how one can selectively jam a particular "data packet" from a signal or signal jamming in general, and I will have to read up on this.
Expiration dates on your TLS certs is usually something that you want to monitor and alert on anyway. I'd actually build the monitoring separately from the renewal process, just in case that the renewal process doesn't notice that it fails.

I feel that 6 months isn't enough time to conclude much. Also, I don't see how you are able to mature your technical skillset in 6 months because a large portion of maturation in software design is reflecting back on how your deliverable performs in future.

If I ship a product this year, next year I can reflect back on how the requirements change, how I didn't anticipate a customer use case and learn from this for future design.

Delivering some code for 6 months won't get you anywhere past a code monkey in my opinion.
I'm confused, my use of possessive pronouns is uncivil? I've read the guidelines, specifically the "In Comments" section. I'm failing to see where my comment runs afoul of the guidelines. It's not snark, its not something you wouldn't say face to face etc. Can you you elaborate?

If I remember correctly the terms of sale required that they get each user's permission to use their links, so the site was vastly diminished.

Again if I remember correctly there was a decent API for del.ico.us but this was not a priority for delicious.com.

The site was premised on the idea of "folksonomy" ie that structure would emerge from the accumulated links. This hypothesis didn't bear out.
Thank you for proving my point:

After reading through the product announcement I had to chuckle a bit... If you'll pardon the shameless plug, I just purchased a used Lenovo X230 Tablet (ThinkPad) a couple weeks ago and my bet is that for the average HN reader use case it scratches all the same itches as the Surface Book. Granted it's bulkier and slower, but it's about $2300 cheaper.

On the other hand it's easily repaired and upgraded, and has an easily swapped battery, so you can bring a couple spares along on a trip. The Surface Book obviously targets the "creative" market, but as long as you spend most of your time in a terminal, an editor, or a web browser, and have an occasional need for a pen and touch screen, then the old Lenovo ThinkPad tablets are awesome.

It's extremely interesting looking at the Program For International Student Assessment (PISA) data for something like America compared to China. [1] Scroll down a bit on that page to add countries for comparison, including China. China is pulling far ahead of us in everything in terms of educational achievement.

If China's 'trick' was little more than knocking off US tech and having cheap labor then every country in the world would be on their way to becoming an industrialized superpower. Their progress is even more phenomenal when you consider their recent history. Less than 60 years ago Chinese were literally starving to death by the tens of millions as the country's government decided to try out socialism. And their technological acceleration did not really begin in earnest until the late 80s.

I think the fable of the tortoise and the hare if not for the fact that we can see that tortoise is certainly not exactly inching along anymore, yet we continue to mock it?

So you are saying that what makes the tactility (the slider moving on the spring) and that what makes the contact (the slider moving the spring until it touches some other metal) are the same, which is exactly what I said ("mechanically connected").

How the making or breaking of the contact is related in terms of travel to the key press force doesn't have much to do with that.

The point I made was simply that on other kinds of keyboards the two are not related. On a rubber mat keyboard you can keep the dome depressed yet not actuate, for example. The collapse of the dome is also harder to control than the resistance against the spring. That makes preloading harder.

Interesting reply / good point with your math, but the United States will go to war before ever letting that happen.

The people who run the government now I know aren’t the best, and they are hemmed in by systems that have accidentally been created, probable elitism, and many other sins.

That being said I would much rather them, the United Nations, any socialist candidate, or any populist candidate govern before letting some new global financial elite take the helm for no reason at all other than a speculative bubble.

It's impossible for every job task that needs to be done to always be interesting and fulfilling, even engineering jobs. Sometimes there's dirty work that had to be done that just sucks, and someone has to be paid to do it. My point is, if I advertise a job to clean toilets, don't show up and complain that cleaning toilets is boring. I know its boring, but I have to paid someone to do it, or buy self-cleaning Japanese toilets. I've had coding jobs before that were metaphorical equivalent of toilet cleaning, and I hated them, but sometimes you need to make rent. I did the work, hated it, and then went on to other more interesting things (founded a startup). I didn't bother submitting an editorial to a newspaper on the experience. It just seems self indulgent to me.
Officially, PLEX can only be redeemed for subscriptions, but it can also be traded as an in game item for ISK (standard in game currency). The only real difference between it and a cryptocoin is that selling PLEX on a secondary market is against the ToS. You will get flagged if you're trading away PLEX ingame for nothing in return, because they assume you're selling it.

Ethics is your word for it.

People always seem to think I am talking about ethics. I'm not. I'm just saying "You can't get there from here."

If you want a partner, you need to do certain things that establish that we are in this together and it needs to be designed such that when you both work together, you are both better off for it.

Using people comes back to bite you. You don't need ethics to decide it is stupid and doesn't really work. Pissing on someone tends to come back to bite you exactly when you need someone to have your back. Pressure reveals exactly what you have built and that the foundation is not strong.

Indeed - that was one of the most vibrant, active homebrew scenes I've had the pleasure of participating in.

Ironically, I played more classic (SNES/PS1) and homebrew games than actual PSP games on my device. Nevertheless PSP "hacks" are what got me into exploring other types of hardware, and eventually jailbreaking iPhones when they were first released. I used to participate on an IRC channel frequented by George Hotz (geohot) and was present when the iPhone was finally jailbroken. For a device that had no app store or games at the time, this was a huge deal - and the homebrew scene quickly flourished.

I still get nostalgic thinking about how I'd spend my lunchtime in high school playing Tap Tap Revolution or SNES emulators on my iPhone...

Encapsulation works even better with modules than with objects:

(0) Modules may expose n-ary operations on abstract types for n > 1.

(1) Modules may have multiple interrelated abstract type components, i.e., what Stepanov calls “multisorted algebras”.

Furthermore, if you are willing to use an impure language (like ML or Scala), modules can be just as stateful as objects if you deem it necessary.
My recollection is that it was acquired by Yahoo and promptly stopped receiving any attention. At least one of the founders left Yahoo a few years later. Not unlike what happened to Flickr, except Flickr had enough momentum and traction to not completely die. It wasn't long after all that that Yahoo Brickhouse closed up completely too. I don't think its fate was a result of anything intrinsic, just a byproduct of Yahoo's decline.

>When I get a lull between my various projects I'm going to do some analysis of our long-term weather data, and try to correlate it with slide events. I'm curious to see if the rainfall patterns are changing over time, beyond just total amounts each year. I'm curious to see if I, as a local, can identify some weather patterns here that outside meteorologists haven't noticed yet.

I would recommend starting with a literature search first. It's likely that people have already studied this. There is already a well understood relationship between rainfall and landslides, so I'm curious as to what you're looking for exactly. Remember, you're unlikely to stumble upon something in a few hours that people spend their entire lives looking at.

Not to mention that I must have a Google account and that Google will automatically read my data and associate it with me.

I think he is referring to the mining operations themselves mainly being in China. Not that the majority of bitcoin is owned by chinese individuals. At least, not yet.
It's almost impossible to have a company with the scale of Google to have good culture. Good perks and you get spoilt in that aspect for sure, but I doubt culture is an important aspect of any company's hiring practice once you get to Google's scale and needing to hire as many people as possible to grow. Where there's diversity, there's also diverse opinions and political leanings and personalities, which leads to conflict, misunderstanding, people trying to one-up the other, and it all leads to a toxic culture (unless you're the ones coming out on top). But hey, there's always therapy (aka the internal groups) to help you along.

Cultures dies as a company grows to a certain size. Feels like the best way to combat that would be to have teams that are small within the company and operate independently and with autonomy, especially when it comes to hiring. That probably isn't realistic though within a large company. Am keen on what ideas people have or if they've had experience with something that works with regards to retaining a good culture.
China has around 70% [1] of the Bitcoin mining power, and the top three miners hold around 50%, which is so massive, it makes everyone else seem negligible, like an experimental error.

To expand a little on the previous answer, existing cloud API's typically fall into one of the following categories:

1) generic NLP classification API's where you need your own large supply of training data and have very little (if any) control over model parameters, or

2) Topic extraction/topic modeling (usually employing LDA), which will simply give a list of potential topics, and will not be able to conform to the set of topics (in our case called "tags") that we have selected.

Because of this, our solution is better at addressing the specific problem of categorizing customer feedback, and allows for more flexibility in how we can collect and manage data.

> The fact that it made some people uncomfortable shouldn't mean it shouldn't be discussed.

On the contrary, I think that alone is sufficient reason.

Its hard for me to go into detail about this right now. But as an employee working with other people, one must be aware of the effect one's actions and words have on fellow coworkers. In this case, the correct approach would have been for him to perhaps engage with a smaller group of people, not post a manifesto where it could be accessed by everyone at Google, which is a large number of people. Depending on the feedback, he could have change the wording to be perhaps more appropriate, and engaged in an honest conversation with HR.

There is no evidence that he did any of these things. Again, its common decency to be aware of one's words on fellow coworkers. With social issues, its not just facts, but also how you chose to express those facts that matter.

You could say: but why shouldn't anyone be allowed to express anything? Why place so much burden on someone to express their true thoughts? Its because we choose to live in a society that doesn't censor the views of its members but also places reasonable restrictions on what/how they can be expressed. So its not that his views shouldn't be expressed, but they weren't done appropriately.
