I wonder how many CEOs Apple could run through before the damage to their image hurts the bottom line more than not appeasing to the Chinese government.

Of course we'll only find out if multiple people individually discover their backbones and forgo personal profit to take a moral stand, and I don't think that'll happen anytime soon.
I am not sure that's enough.

Given the severity of his condition, I think he needs some sort of supervision and treatment.

Then he should not tell other's how to fight for freedom and accept free "expression awards" for his human rights advancements [1], if he can't lead by example being scared that his ass will be on fire. And remember, he has only money to lose, so he puts money above his beliefs.

This study appears to be an alarmist rehash of what was previously discussed on HN:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14323533

Here's one of the original papers:

https://www.farmlandbirds.net/sites/default/files/Orbrioch%2...

The 75% decline number appears to be from two data points from a 220-acre plot. From that paper:

"What follows is a description of measured Insect-Biomasses from samples collected in the Orbroich Bruch Nature Reserve, near Krefeld, using Malaise Insect Traps. The results show that, in the same two areas, sampled in the years 1989 and 2013, there was a dramatic fall in the number of flying insects. Using the same traps, in the same areas, significant reductions of insect populations, of more than 75%, were found. Our data confirms, that in the areas studied, less than 25% of the original number of flying insects collected in 1989, were still present in 2013."

"The Orboicher Bruch, to the Northwest of Krefeld, is a designated Nature Reserve of around 100 hectares (220 acres). Due to the reserve’s relatively remote location and its rugged landscape, intensive farming came to the area only recently."

So alarmists are extrapolating from two data points (years 1989 and 2013) for a 220-hectare plot of German farmland to the entire world. I think that is a bit of a stretch, even for statistics.

Since different bugs breed in different seasons, and numbers depend on the fruitfulness of previous generations, food supply, predation, disease, temperature and so on, this bug weight could vary considerably from year to year (or site to site) for any number of reasons. While one year cicadas thrive, the next year there may be none.

BTW they're measuring the weight of dead bugs - not how many bugs or what species of bugs - just the weight of bugs. Actually they're not even measuring that, they're measuring the weight of dead bugs' soaked in 70-80% alcohol.

I could go on and on about controls in statistical experiments but I think you get the idea.

See the original HN posting for discussions pointers to the earlier papers.

Its definitely worth remembering. But i think the reason its more particularly associated with Jews is it represented the culmination of thousands of years of persecution, ultimately resulting in an attempt to literally wipe them from the earth. That, and the fact that the Russian's managed to both resist and ultimately defeat the Nazi's, probably cements the more generalized view of what happened.

I would spend more of my daytime outside in the sun. Also more impromptu travel. Those are probably my two least favorite things about having a day job: I’m inside for the best part of the day and I have to plan my travel far in advance around crowded and expensive holidays rather than taking random midweek trips when things are cheap and empty.

I’d probably keep programming, because some programming is fun. And I’d spend more time working at my theater even though they don’t pay me because I care about it in a way I will never care about my day job.

But also define “taken care of”. Currently I make more money than my parents combined yet I can still barely afford a one bedroom apartment in San Francisco. Any nationally reasonable level of universal basic income wouldn’t be nearly enough to get by with a comfortable life in the city. So maybe I would have to move? Not the worst thing in the world, but something to think about when people propose universal basic income, what’s the definition of universal?
Initially it was within the same network, I believe Orange (previously Hutchinsons, then merged with EE, who themselves known as T-Mobile) was the first to offer a consumer service, called Orange Messaging. As an aside they also offered a second line on the same phone,meaning you had 2 number an option not offered these days alas.

But nice trick was to set a foreign SMSC, this not only enabled you to send SMS to other UK networks, but also didn't charge you. Circa 1998 era.
Google left because their main business is collecting information about people to sell them ads later, China did not allow that - thats why they left, they did not leave because of their great moral stand.
I think HN understands that Apple don't care, they just don't agree that is ethical.

China has a long and established history of replacing governments that are unfair to their people. It's just, why would you overthrow a government bringing in so much economic growth. Once that growth slows down their government will get away with less civil rights violations.

I can't speak for the guy you replied to, but I've had family and friends who live up there and there's a lot of seasonal outdoors stuff. For example, run a snowmobile business in the winter. Work as a mechanic on big rigs (aka get paid to sit around until something breaks).

In rural areas (at least around here) it's not uncommon to work 4 on, 4 off (or similar) shifts which makes stuff like that a lot easier. My cousins (one of whom lived in North Pole, AK) do something kinda similar: they have their houses in the "city" where their job is, but their "other" homes out on their 30+ acres of property in the woods > 1 hour outside of town. They don't fly in, but it's kinda the same concept.

I also know of at least one rancher in eastern Washington whose daughter flies her plane to school in the morning.

Yes, shame on Cook to kiss the ring, but Apple gets to bring its top notch service and product to Chinese users, set the fine example of what brand, quality, design and technology can achieve. What have Google achieved for Chinese users by quitting China 7 yrs ago? Lack of competition brought new height of profit to Baidu and continuous damage to users[1][2], I certainly don't blame Sergey Brin for that[3], but nothing for Chinese users to cheer on that either.

Innocent age of Internet has died. I don't think there a right answer for Cook, but there're probably some worse answers, I'm grateful he did not take those and people who I care about can still buy iPhones in China.

China is just playing with the short term vision that is so foolishly characteristic of western companies. The Chinese know that CEOs need growth prospects for the next quarter, even though their actions are impairing the company in the long run. Of course, whatever money they make in China will be at the expenses of their long term IP, technology and market share.
You are assuming most people care what Apple does in china, and I can garauntee you they do not. I’m a china critic myself and I’ve seen lots of stuff working for Microsoft there. Let’s be realistic: if consumers judged Apple for what they did in china, then something might change, but beyond a very small fringe, that doesn’t happen.
Wasn't Uber losing ton of money in China? Also they had problems with regulators and local governments. I thought that was the main reason why they left.
Being hesitant to uncritically embrace iffy research that supports our politics can be really hard. In myself I even notice a tendency when looking at research on controversial subjects to put more weight on articles that I "like" going in, and I will sometimes go as far as to interpret articles that disagree with my views as partially supporting them, if read in a certain way.

The thing is, it's 100% correct to evaluate new claims in light of your priors. That's absolutely necessary if you want to make good decisions - my expectation that special relativity will not be shown to be inconsistent is so strong that no matter how interesting or new an argument is against it, I will shred it to bits way more viciously than I'd pick apart a simple replication of special relativity's claims.

But.

Some priors don't come from reliable places, and we have to be way more careful about applying them. In general, the more politically or socially relevant an issue is (gender, race, money, morals) the less any of us should trust both a) our own priors, and b) the priors of researchers in the area, who have many ways to unwittingly and without bad intention put fingers on the scale. In those situations we really have to throw our hands up and wait for meta-analyses to tell us what's up.

In this case, it's super worth noting that even if the IAT is a garbage test, that doesn't mean that implicit bias doesn't exist, or that racism is not a problem. It just means the test doesn't measure it, and we shouldn't be funding further research that leans on it as a tool. Which is why I really don't understand why criticisms of the test draw such intense opposition.

It hasn't been competing. Businesses that use AWS are forced into using competing inferior services. Part of what killed Red5Studios was not having capital to survive that transition.

Ultimately of course, these things do have a return, even just in PR. How Apple operates in China has some effect on its US sales and market position... so I guess Tim has to play a careful game.

The whole thing is a big ball of mud. If you commit to a vendor you risk vendor-lock in. If you commit to hand-roll you risk runaway deadlines, feature creep, and a slew of other threats. Once you pick one or the other and get it to a business functional level you lose all momentum and willpower to pivot to the best solution now that you have a "good enough" approach.

The other key benefit is you can warehouse the rest of your data in BQ as well -- where it can be easily linked to your non-event data; marketing data from other systems, etc.
How does it compare with Romana? They added a VPC router specifically for large K8 clusters on AWS.

https://github.com/romana/vpc-router
That's called transfer pricing and is essentially illegal in almost every jurisdiction. There are of course plenty of loopholes and ways around it and large companies such as Apple spend a fortune with the big 4 accounting firms to take advantage of every such loophole.

A.) God bless Thor labs and all of their fanciful lab snacks. Saved my life on a few occosions.

Flying elephant looking like a solid in front of my buddy sam) is 1% of the occlusion problem (and really IMO, is not going to have hardly any affect on the overall success of AR in the nearterm. What does matter is dynamic real-to-virtual object occlusion (i.e. waving my hand in between my eye and the flying elephant without my hand dissappearing behind the elephant). This problem hardly ever gets attention, but in addition to narrow vert/horizontal FOV, it's the leading culprit for giving users a lackluster and less valuable AR experience.

Secret letter to magic leap: please please please have that problem solved before you release your product. If you occlude, reality will exude (as long as you have total FOV filling your frames that is). If you don't have these figured out. I don't want your product (and I bet nobody else will either). On the other hand, have these features, and you will see exceptional adoption.

> Would you be automatically capable of being nice to individual Germans, when their army massacred your relatives, 40 years after it happened?

Um... yes? I'd be pretty ashamed and disappointed in myself if not. I think I know the difference between the actions of a government versus the beliefs and values held by any particular individual, even if they lived under that government. Not to mention the fact that people are not responsible for the sins of their ancestors.
You should be advertising /32's and /128's. From the hypervisor to the TOR, then the TOR aggregates if possible and advertises to a spine.

At least, that's what you do if you use Calico and want to be able to use hypervisor migration when using it with OpenStack.

Just make sure your TOR's can handle the amount of routes necessary, have a default route from the hypervisor to the internet, and from the TOR to the spine, and have the spine advertise a 0's route. So now the spine is the only place where you need beefier routers that can support more than the TOR's in terms of routes.

With some intelligence in the IPAM solution your host will get a /26 (or a /64) and will advertise that entire range, and only a single /32 is advertised if the VM/container moves to another hypervisor host (to support things like live-migration).

That being said, most TOR's can handle quite a large amount of routes these days. When I was at a telco we had some gear that did up to 128k routes, so splitting between IPv4/IPv6 we had 64k routes each. Which is plenty, even for larger clusters.
This article epitomizes the old adage: software engineers are terrible at estimating. I have absolutely no stake in Mixpanel, and it has its own flaws, but seeing something as misleading as this on the front page of HN means I have to write a clarifying, if not somewhat edifying, comment =/

1. Right off the bat, there's the cost of building all of this + maintaining it. Something like Mixpanel at scale requires at least two, if not three, engineers: one for client libraries, one for infrastructure (which the OP blogs about), and another for the web app (dashboard, real-time user stream, etc.) To be sure, not everyone needs all features of Mixpanel. To be really sure, nobody needs all features of any SaaS tools. But if you really want to compare apples to apples, then you have to account for these. To hire competent software engineers who can collaborate closely and maintain a complex piece of analytics software requires at least $100k per year, if not twice that based on locale. That's at least $300k and more like $600k right there.

2. The whole point of something like Mixpanel is to make analytics accessible to non-engineers. In their case, it's primarily product people and secondarily marketing/customer success. In any case, building an analytics/data product consumable by non-technical people is hard and takes way more than assembling a couple of cloud infrastructure together. If there's one reason Mixpanel is still in business, that's because of this.

3. Finally, the OP has a valid point which should have been highlighted more, if not to make their own biases more clear: Mixpanel's diminishing differentiation is dev shops/consultancies' opportunity. It is indeed incredible that a dev shop can build even a third of Mixpanel's functionality by leveraging GCP components. Mixpanel had to build a lot of its core backend systems from the ground up, including its original key-value store. Just this year, they fully migrated to Google Cloud Platform themselves, suggesting that there's really little room for differentiation among analytics vendors at the level of infrastructure components (Mixpanel's arch-nemesis, Amplitude, leverages Apache Kafka and various AWS components, most notably Amazon Redshift, heavily)

With all of this being said, one thing remains true: the most expensive cost of any software is people running them and the dependencies created around them. These may not show up as line items, but they sure are deeply embedded in your total cost.

Ah. I guess due to the superset-of-JS property you might kinda sorta see it as annotated JS, though it has its own syntax and has to go through a compiler to produce runnable JS.

edit: Seems the TS tools also have JS linting functionality, where you put JSDoc annotations in comments and use the new --checkJs options, I guess you may have meant this too.
This was from 2010, so probably not a plug as much as a case study of an unusual architecture by a legend in the field.

So much of the stuff out there is just a variation on a well-worn theme. A multi-core stack machine with 18-bit words implemented in asynchronous logic[0] is definitely a road not taken. It's nice to see people sticking their necks out--especially in the space of tangibles where starting costs are usually much higher.

Clearly some customers are not uncaring.

I'm not saying that one protest will have a massive impact on Apple's bottom line; just that:

1. protesting is a sign that the tax issue is an area customers care about, and those out protesting are likely a very small minority of those who feel that way.

2. the act of companies' feigned goodwill for a net profit could extend to any area customers care about, including legal vs ethical tax practices.
For now. We’re not going to continue to let these unethical companies to operate in the EU forever without contributing.

You probably think this sounds silly, but it’s what the majority of the voters here want and the EU though slow is moving with the people not the corporations.
