The reason is competition. If internet companies become that bad then I myself will start one that preserves the old way. I'm sure I'd find plenty of backing too because where there's an untapped market there's money to be made. You seem to forget that the very basic principles of supply and demand will always slaughter the pigs. Especially in the new world of 5G and beyond where utility pole lobbying will no longer be such a thorn in small businesses side.

You the consumer wield the power with your wallet. Don't do business with any ISP that treats their customers like that. I guarantee that not all ISPs will conform to the same practices because after all they are competing! If tmobile copied everything Verizon does they would be bankrupt. Companies have to act in accordance with what the market dictates, not what ever they please.

g-factor finds positive correlation against a diverse set of tests. Such correlations can then be used to make predictions of performance on some tests on other unrelated tests, a 'generalized intelligence'. Such correlations can be used to designed a minimal test that map closely to g. But note:

"Tests of vocabulary and general information are also typically found to have high g loadings."

As far as I'm aware, spatial reasoning, attention, memory, and logical inference etc. don't give the complete picture. I'm happy to be corrected on this.
Edge DCs only have one type of machine (1E) and no block storage, but I think are otherwise the same.

Even in core DCs though the availability of different types of machines varies.

According to the article, this is not the enabling factor - the placing of an order from a fake account is. This order is what makes the spoofer able to leave the fake review; that someone actually gets something in the mail is more or less an artifact coming from the seller having to show that some transaction took place and it needs to look real.

edit: hmm, seems like they need a tracking number to show so it is not flagged and that is what's needed for this thing.

I agree with you that CSS support is a bit lacking. I think they did this on purpose though, because many people prefer CSS preprocessors like SCSS/Sass or Less. However, with Create React App, you get nice CSS support via webpack and PostCSS. I recommend you check out styled-components; getting used to the back tick syntax takes some time, but after you do get used to it, working with them is really nice. Also, Babel syntax highlighting (in Atom at least) properly highlights the CSS used in styled-component.
Considering my whole career, I'd say you should probably get used to it and evolve!

I don't mean to sound defeated. Sometimes projects are done 'properly'. Documentation... Good code over 'code that just works'... etc. But sometimes the business need to just get something released can outweigh that.

Picture this - the business has an opportunity that will generate £x in revenue. This revenue will ensure your job. It'll contribute to the coffee you get to drink. And other benefits you might take for granted. The catch is, the code to fulfil this opportunity needs to be written in 3 months when you know that it should take 9.

This situation just requires a different way of working. And a different set of skills. Such as understanding the requirements to a tee so that you can produce the absolute minimum. Delegating where possible (such as letting others do the testing - if they're doing that badly, that's not your problem). I'd say over time I've gotten better at reading code that isn't commented. (hint:learn how to use a debugger for your given language). I've also gotten better at writing short snappy docs.

To answer your queastions directly, again across my career...
- Tech stack is normally 50/50 modern and legacy.
- Both the modern and legacy languages/frameworks/tools fulfilled the end-user requirements set out in the first place.
- Common practice is 50/50 people who care about their job and those who just want the paycheck.
- 75% ask for advice on architecture from the 25% that can do it well.
- Culture is what you make of it. If there's no scene, create one. (just like punk music).
- People only communicate when they need to
- Deadlines? Yes! They're normally not met though. See above!
- Management reasonable? Subjective :)

Didn't Google do a massive study on this and determine these tests weren't effective in determining success on the job?

It was a long article, but I remember they found success was more a function of the proper team more than anything else. You can take the same 20 people, and have them fail miserably or succeed depending on how you divided them up on projects. Sort of an obvious, but not so obvious result.
Ugh, so coming up with a perfect solution to a riddle isn't enough in an interview now apparently. You guys just can't be pleased :)

Perhaps you can simply ask how they arrived to their solution, you owe them at least that. Or be upfront that they should reason aloud.
Still, my productivity increased when I consciously forced myself, when faced with some difficulties where I have failed once or twice, to resist writing more code, switch down the PC, go for a walk and think (or a good bath). Thinking hard for a few hours about a problem is underrated IMO.
Why do people write ‘baby’ or ‘newborn’ with no article like that? Surely it’s ‘a baby’ or ‘the baby’ or ‘your baby’ or maybe ‘babies’ if you mean in general. Just ‘baby’ sounds like broken English. You wouldn’t write ‘manager sent me an email’, you’d write ‘my manager’ or something like that with an article.
Soverin Private Mailbox Review
Very exciting... Until you see your user base start shrinking.

There is no way Graphcool can compete with Amazon in terms of software costs and efficiency. If someone is already using other Amazon services like S3, SNS, etc... and they have to choose between a completely new third party service or Amazon's own; they will choose Amazon. If both software are compatible, companies will always choose the cheapest one.

Amazon has the ability to price gouge the service down to $0 if it likes.

Also, Graphcool is not the first and only service of its kind, there is also Apollodata (from the MeteorJS people).
I ran into a bug with High Sierra, posted in the user forums and was contacted by a friendly Apple Engineer a day later. So they do read them, but apparently not close enough.

I could see how someone would dismiss a posting like that with an "this cannot possibly be true" shrug.

How is BTC better than gold? What can I do with a bitcoin? It's just data. It's still a fiat currency. Gold is specifically not a fiat currency because it has real world applications. I will agree cryptocurrencies are better than other forms of fiat currency in that there is a definitive quantity, similar to a non-fiat currency, but it's intrinsic value is in the trust others will accept it in exchange for something that has real value.

Suppose a solar flare destroyed all existing digital equipment. What would a physical printout of a wallet be worth?
I love how the writer is able to downplay all the issues regarding net neutrality.

Or how he's focusing on the carrier markets, instead of the broadband connections @ home. Because, there is no competition in the States when it comes to broadband connections. You can only choose one and it depends on where you live. How far-fetched is it to imagine that either Verizon or AT&T is implementing zero-rating for services like Netflix or some other service, basically urging people to lock-in on those services?

Anyway, it's exactly this attitude and mentality that requires net neutrality.
Well to be fair there are more positives to cars than just cutting journey times. But I agree the negatives are massing hugely as the world's driving population pullulates.

As for human readiness to safely control a tonne of speeding metal, my position as a full-time motorcyclist makes me extremely confident that the average alleged 'driver' (actually: daydreamer, snot-picker, instagrammer) isn't even approaching the edge of the competence ballpark.
Actually, it's 50%. Count a little closer next time.
Seems to go for almost all issues regarding Apple. I've been reporting that calculator bug since iOS 9, with updates for several betas that it's still there. Two years later someone with a significant following on Twitter writes about it, gets enough retweets and Apple finally fixes something so miniscule.
Apparently it is not just enabling root, but setting the password the first time you do it (in other words, the blank value has nothing to do with it). Then the subsequent times it'll use the pw you set the first time.
Alright, I could not find the exact study I had in mind, but did come across a summary of the history of research in this area, which touches on what I was talking about:

THIRTY YEARS OF RESEARCH ON RACE
DIFFERENCES IN COGNITIVE ABILITY

http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.186...

See around pages 240-243, Section 3: Mean Race–IQ Differences: A Global Perspective

> Many critics claim that Western-developed IQ tests are not valid for groups as culturally different as sub-Saharan Africans (e.g., Nell, 2000). The main evidence to support a claim of external bias would be if the test failed to predict performance for Africans. Even if tests only underpredicted performance for Africans compared with non-Africans, it would suggest that their test scores underestimated their “true” IQ scores. However, a review by Kendall, Verster, and von Mollendorf (1988) showed that test scores for Africans have about equal predictive validity as those for non-Africans (e.g., 0.20 to 0.50 for students’ school grades and for employees’ job performance). The review also showed that many of the factors that influence scores in Africans are the same as those for Whites (e.g., coming from an urban vs. a rural environment; being a science rather than an arts student; having had practice on the tests; and the well-documented curvilinear relationship with age). Similarly, Sternberg et al.’s (2001) study of Kenyan 12- to 15-year-olds found that IQ scores predicted school grades, with a mean r .40 (p .001; after controlling for age and socioeconomic status [SES], r .28, p .01). In Rushton et al.’s (2003) study of African and non-African engineering students at the University of the Witwatersrand, scores on the Advanced Progressive Matrices correlated with scores on the Standard Progressive Matrices measured 3 months earlier (.60 for Africans; .70 for non-Africans) and with end-of-year exam marks measured 3 months later (.34 for Africans; .28 for non-Africans). Figure 1 shows the regression of exam marks on test scores for these university students.

That's better, but probably still not exactly indicative of real-world work... so much of on-the-job work is teamwork. Perhaps you could interview a group of candidates together and as a group assign a project that you know no one person could finish on their own, but would be manageable broken up. The people that form groups and work well together could presumably bubble up.
But you are creating the password for it.
I stopped reading at "There's no such thing as user-defined equality". Defining equality, and other functions, is an intrinsic part of defining a type. Whatever Cell may be good for, it's obviously not for me.
Because the USPS wanted to set US retail postal rates without negotiating with China Post and 150 others. Other countries' postal systems wanted the same autonomy.

So the postal union made a deal: The USPS decides how much to charge for postage to China, carries the mail to the Chinese border, China Post carries it from there, and the two split the USPS' retail price according to a set formula. Ditto for every other country combination. Simple. Saves a lot of negotiating.

But it means that if, say, the German postal system is able to send mail to the American border much more cheaply than the USPS to the German border, then the USPS will subsidise the Germans. Which is the case: I sent a heavy book from Munich to Seattle this summer for €17. Then the recipient sent it back, which cost a little over $50.

The difference is starker when you compare China and the US, but comparing Germany and the US is fair. Both are high-cost countries. I think the Americans should stop complaining until they have the prices down to German levels (or to an average of rich countries if you will).
Very good argumentation.

However, when comparing to airlines it needs to be noted that they use heavily subsidized infrastructure (airports, he indicates that at least for the rural ones) and benefit from tax exemptions (no added value tax, no petrol tax. My perspective is European, but I would be surprised if that were much different in the US.)
Now this is a very negative opinion in a general anti-consumerist sense but:

Why does one buy items like an Alexa? I get that it performs some features, it slightly increases convenience but it does not enable anything new or different.

Something I do not understand about hackernews:
There are a lot of people on here who, on average, care about the environment. By the same token, there are many users here who have an interest in electronics and technology, and are just generally interested in new gadgets.

How do you square buying gadgets with being somewhat conscious of the mounting environmental problems? The amount of electronic waste, the almost literal slave labour to mine the resources, the energy necessary to transport and assemble the parts, and the final device.

All to not use one's smartphone's assistant but a home assistant.

The consumer does not ask himself 'why do I consume', every decision is in the framework of making consumerist choices (e.g. buy a Tesla instead of a Jeep), the option 'I do not need to consume most of these things at all' is barely present.

So I am honestly asking to people buying these things, what is the thought process? Is there a feeling of happiness or joy in having new gadgets? Does it last? Are environmental or more generally philosophical considerations on whether you need to buy new things part of your thought process?

Apple's most popular devices, phones and tablets, are dwarfed by Android.

You’re making the classic mistake regarding Apple: marketshare. It’s mostly a vanity metric to avoid looking at other, more relevant issues.

In 2016, the iPhone captured 79 percent of global smartphone profits—$44.9 of $53.7 billion.[1]

And that’s with only 14.5 percent of the global marketshare, although they do have 35 percent of the U.S. market[2]

Since 2007, Apple has sold over 1.2 billion iPhones singlehandedly; it has to be the single best selling electronic device ever.

Once you get past Samsung, there’s a bunch of companies selling Android phones who are around breakeven at best.

Their laptops and desktops might have a 5% market share. Even among the much smaller developer community the majority of development doesn't occur on Mac.

According to statcounter, the Mac’s U.S. marketshare is 11%.[3]

If you were to track the market for desktops and laptops that aren’t encased in plastic, don’t ship with crapware and malware, the Mac’ marketshare is much higher. ;-)

Anecdotally, I can tell you as someone who’s fairly active in the tech scene in the Cambridge/Boston area, Macs are everywhere, especially at startups: foosball table, craft beer, MacBook Pros.

Back in the day, MIT’s Sloan School of Business did not support Macs. (I worked at MIT for 14 years until 2007). Back then, they had deals with Dell and for ThinkPads. Fast forward to the present day: the most common MBA these days at Sloan is the MacBook Air.

Even after all of these years, the Mac just had its best quarter ever—a little over $25 billion in revenue.[4]

And apparently the Apple Watch is the best selling watch of any kind—in the world.

Meanwhile, every company that was supposed to be the Apple killer—Nokia, Motorola, Dell, Microsoft, Blackberry (née RIM), etc. are either gone or are just shadows of their former selves. Remember when Steve Balmer laughed when asked about the iPhone in 2007?

I know that many on HN really dislike chatbots because they don't understand their super special case. As a chatbot maker, with several different chatbots that are live, I can tell you that I've seen the data. Which concludes that chat bots do work, and our clients agree. Chatbots will be everywhere the coming years.

Some of our clients have over 5000 intents, which cover quite a lot of the business, still it is important to let the chatbot be humble and connect the user to a human when it is too difficult to help.

I don't think you can say that microbenchmarks are anywhere realistic. First because the machine workload is different while you run them. Second because the compiling or VM state is also quite different.

A value of microbenchmarks is to establish a stable environment when a baseline can be set, where predictions can be tested. It's a development tool, not a qualification tool. You will have anyway to measure the real performance impact in the complete environment.
