Not sure why you're being downvoted. I entirely agree with everything you've said.

For anyone not aware, Apple is extremely hostile to device longevity and 3rd party repair [1]. They have had issues with hinge design in MacBooks as well as the Bendgate crisis for the iPhone 6 series.

They bricked phones when people had other repair shops fix their home buttons (Touch ID sensors).

Apple wants to control everything, sell you a device with a short lifespan, and then force upgrades.

I agree with all three of your points concerning Mixpanel and what it would take to replace it with something similar. But I think you're being harsh when you say "This article epitomizes the old adage: software engineers are terrible at estimating".

I don't see anywhere that the article says they have replaced all of Mixpanel. It only says that they were able to replicate the functionality their client actually needed. I don't see them making claims that the solution they built is anywhere comparable to the full solution from Mixpanel. Only that it provides all the features their client needed.

> Xi's regime is less liberal than ever.

Is it? Can you give an example of where Hu and Jiang were more liberal than Xi?
For me, the issue is not cost. It's the data. You're paying for what's essentially a data warehouse and BI tool... but you have little to no control over it. Sure, it's fully managed, but you want to change X? You want to evolve your schema? You need to change some data in history (I know)? You want to build real-time systems based on these streams of data? You want Mixpanel UI for other datasets in your company?

All of these are issues (that I have faced). From what I've seen, people just keep downloading Mixpanel data and uploading to their DWH, sort of voiding the reason to implement Mixpanel in the first place.

The tool is lovely, their export policy is great, but there's something about actually owning your data.

To explain a bit further, I feel that this approach also makes you more ready for promotions and working with new people/industries/tech.

We can be better than that - don’t get promoted for hard work, get promoted for SMART work!

Paradox is doing most things right, not like some of their competitors. No pay-to-win or other ingame buys, but optional DLCs, that actually enhance the game, and constant development and care over years for their games, and excellent multiplatform support. Also, they are successfully producing some of the games with the highest (hours of gameplay)/(price) ratio, second only to some indie games and the unbeatable Dwarf Fortress.

These games are not for everyone. Also, not entirely unlike Dwarf Fortress, they might seem a bit off-putting due to their complexity. But they have a much better GUI, and learning the basics is faster. It still takes time, though.
I was replying in the context of the newbie who was asking for assistance. Your reply is rather tone-deaf in that regard.

You're arguing against the value of a "big, flat namespace", yet you're also arguing for IPv6, which itself is a big, flat namespace? Do you see the contradiction, perhaps?

Dedicated CIDR for pods is important because it's simple. The symmetry is simple to explain, simple to understand; the same simplicity you'd get from IPv6.

Moreover, it's an abstraction that can be implemented however you want (custom routing on L3, SDN overlay, BGP). Not everone has a native L3 network. If you're on Google Cloud Platform, you get a virtual L3, but with other clouds, the networking is a bit more old hat. So again, simplicity and convenience. As for "overlay junk", the entirety of the Google Cloud itself is virtualized over what is probably the world's most sophisticated SDN overlay, so, well, some people's junk is other people's ragingly successful business, I suppose.

I'm not sure why you categorize the automatic iptables rules that Kubernetes set up as slow or obfuscated. It's only magical in the sense that Kubernetes automatically makes its cluster IPs load-balanced, a convenient system that you are in no way forced to use. If you have a better setup, feel free to use it instead.

We use Kubernetes ingress. It works. It could be better, but it's not "garbage". I really recommend against putting everything in such categorical terms. Everything in your comment is "junk" and "garbage", and the people who designed it (Google!) are morons who don't understand networking, somehow. That kind of arrogance on HN just makes you look foolish.

as a first step, I would try to imagine the situations where you might produce bad science, in the name confirming something about an issue important to you.

> When Poles complain about Germans because our grandparents were killed by their grandparents in WWII, you don't call this "racism", because there's no racial or ethnic difference.

There is, in fact, an ethnic difference between Germans and Poles. On the other hand, you are correct that people often don't describe something as racism if they feel it is justified (or at least excusable) based on history.

It still is racism, and a lot of what is described as racism has similar roots; people are highly selective (and often racist) on which ethnic bigotries they describe as “racism”.

> I also think overwork is a byproduct of a globally connected society. Humans are happy if they are relatively well off compared to what they know. With smaller societies, we know less and thus expect less from ourselves and our situations. But it becomes more difficult to remain this way as small societies get replaced with large social networks.

This sort of logic is also part of why social media can be so damaging in general. Sites like Twitter, YouTube and Instagram heavily spotlight outliers who've become incredibly successful at their field, which will by definition make many people feel like failures in comparison.

And well, with most people being very image focused and only showing their successes on these sites, it can give the impression everyone else in the world is wildly successful while you're the only one struggling at all.

Still, that's something the internet reinforces in general really. That regardless of what you're interested in or seemingly good at, that there will always be hundreds or thousands better than you at it.

Has anyone considered that "no more bugs on windscreen" is an expected effect of the vastly improved aerodynamics of cars since the 1960s? On a modern car (anything made in the past 15-20 years), the windshield is swept such that it's almost parallel to the airflow, so it would be very hard for bugs to hit it.

I'm not saying whether or not there are less insects, just that this is a huge confounding factor.

Perhaps someone who frequently takes classic cars for long trips at highway speeds can chime in?

> I mean, just definitionally, "racism" requires a notion of superiority

Viewing an identity group as morally inferior (and yours, therefore, as superior) based on what some members of that identity group did in the past does involve a notion of superiority.
You are already being augmented each time you use a search engine, a calculator, an encyclopedia, a GPS, etc... an abacus even.

e.g: The pathfinding algorithm on a GPS is technically narrow AI. And if we stress this even further, a conditional statement could be AI. Your washing machine runs on AI (fuzzy logic).

Same with the term "technology". A spoon is technology, a chair is technology, a roof is technology. The term you would be usually looking for is high technology, which is state-of-the-art technology.

Having said this, AI is an ambiguous term and usually leads to clickbait, large disambiguations and waste of time.

You should know better than me that the 'anti-nazi' mentality is there and it's strong, so much that people don't even want to become policemen because it's often associated with this nazi thinking, although it's totally wrong. And yes, I have seen nazis in the streets, but you can't change life - society has right and left wings extremists always. You can try to make it better, sure.

The problems you talk about are different, and they are due to several factors, one of them being the fact that Germany never had a proper immigration law. It all started out of needs and this created differences in how migrants were treated: do you really want to compare the life of a Turkish migrant to the one of a Nigerian or Indian migrant? You simply can't. Because they don't have to follow the same rules. At least not in the past, not sure about nowadays.

Also, as for the integration. Seriously, this is a country that doesn't ask of you anything. Anything at all except that you of course speak a little the language. It offers everyone the same chances equally. Now, the main issue here is that in the past the greatest amount of immigrants were low educated people who didn't actually do anything to help their own kids become someone different, to study etc. The ones who did now are certainly in better positions. The so called 2nd and 3rd generation of migrants.

Regarding the anti-jews part, unfortunately that's something I can hardly understand. I simply don't get these people hating them, educated or not.

The superiority mindset in my opinion is due to the way they work and they are structured. It can often be confused with arrogance, I myself made such mistakes, but I think that this is simply the way many people think. Let's not forget that Germans used to have a highly hierarchical structure. And let's not forget that it's also thanks to that mentality that they were the first in all Europe to recover from the war. All other countries are still suffering from it, while they rolled up their sleeves and worked hard. I assume you are a foreigner like me. I suggest you to make some German friends who are open about this sort of topics, because not all people are, and ask them.

I'm in mathematics. This is my only career aspiration so I'm going to shoot for it, because there is nothing else I would possibly want to do besides research and teach. There is nothing else for me out in the Real World. I'm doing all the right things at this point in my studies-- grades are good, relationships with professors, extracurricular projects with students and profs. I have the dedication, the motivation, and a very strong passion for this subject. If it fails, it fails. At least I will be shooting for something I really want, and not falling back on something I know will make me miserable just because I think I have a lower probability of failing.

But I thank you for the advice and the good wishes! Perhaps lecturing will be where I go! What happened with your tenure-track position? Was it too stressful?
Google is a US-based companies with subsidiaries in Europe. Quitting your country of origin doesn't make sense when the conditions haven't changed much since ~2000 when the company started.

Such "why don't they..." questions represent a logical fallacy.

In the US and Europe we can fight against censorship by lobbying, by getting the word out, etc. Yes, we have surveillance and are not winning every fight, but we still have rights, we still have freedom of speech and we still have the framework of the law to work in and politicians are still subject to the rules of democracy.

In China on the other hand the whims of the ruling party reign supreme and before you open your mouth to say anything, I'll have you know that I'm a citizen of Romania, a former Communist country from the Warsaw Pact and I know communism ;-)

And yes, Google has my respect for making a stand against Chinese censorship, regardless of your opinions about them.

Tim Cook went there to get humiliated. Given what's at stake for his company, I doubt he had alternatives. I guess that's what a CEO would do.

China keeps laughing in the face of the West. The weakness and passiveness of western "democracies" is astounding, but no wonder that when you spend all your time to play internal politics there's little time left to envision an international strategy.

There are numerous types of venture capital approaches utilized across the US economy.

The SV venture capital firms need massive homeruns because of the investing approach they use and the types of companies they invest into. It's not the other way around. They specifically back companies with zero profit, often zero potential for near-term profit, zero ability to sustain themselves, that bleed red ink in exchange for hopefully extreme growth. These VC firms intentionally avoid investing into less rapid growth, self-sustaining, profitable businesses. It's a choice, not a required direction. They want to play it big, they want to be rock stars, they want to get massively rich, they want to find the next Google. They're gold or oil prospectors, looking for the big haul; my opinion is most of them find that game addicting just as any Wall Street rock star does.

Mark Cuban is fond of saying that his preferred investing time frame is forever. What he means is, he ideally wants to invest into companies that actually have a sustainable business model, generate profit, and can pay out profits. He's basically a giant angel investor or his own VC firm, and he's on record as strongly disliking the SV model. In general terms, he represents an alternative approach to Silicon Valley.

You can find investors like Cuban all over the US. His particular wealth scale isn't necessary at all for what he does as an investor. Finding wealthy angel investors in Pittsburgh, or Salt Lake City, or Dallas, or Atlanta, is not particularly difficult.
I think, in context, the meaning was that HK was, for a long time, independent of China.
My (admittedly cursory) search on this shows that Baidu's "fake hospital" scandal seems to be a problem with Baidu, not with Google quitting China. Is there evidence to even suggest that if Google search were available in China at the time then people would not have died?

I can't offer an opinion on whether or not Google should have tried to maintain more presence in China, but the link between them leaving the market and some people believing dodgy search results from Baidu and basing their critical medical treatment on said results is spurious to say the least.
The libertarian argument would be that if government didn’t regulate working hours the number of hours worked vs the amount of pay would be negotiated by the labor market and you would be free to choose to work fewer hours in exchange for somewhat reduced pay.

The socialist counter-argument would be that under such a system people with few employment options or low skills would be forced to work more hours for the same pay and that it’s the government’s job to regulate a reduction in work hours to improve quality of life.

Neither argument is wrong, in practice you need both systems for different people, but the nature of politics, especially in the U.S., requires a binary choice the net result of which is that everyone works more hours.

Rome would be a difficult thing to model (IIRC some Paradox folks have talked about this) given the way their games usually work. The biggest problem with Rome itself is the amount of internecine warfare and plotting that doesn't map to the CK2-style feudal mode. And that doesn't map to a lot of other powers in Europe and the Near East at the time. In CK2 and EU4, most players operate under very similar rules (like, Islam in CK2 is basically a slightly tweaked European feudalism)--a Rome game would have to come out of the box with a number of compatible-but-divergent systems in the ballpark of what CK2 was 2-3 years after release to seem like it fit with the rest of the games they do.

Which is not to say I wouldn't love to see it happen, but it's a hard problem.
