Professional Dress Code Tips
I don't know where you live, but most of the cities in northern Europe have less extreme climate (on both ends, hot and cold) than a large swath of the US. I live in the US and am extremely lucky that I don't sweat a lot for some reason, and am able to ride my bike to work without stinking up the joint. And I adjust my schedule a bit, so I get to work before it starts getting hot.

But our summers are certainly hotter than Copenhagen and Amsterdam. I didn't look up Berlin.
You are a team. Not everyone has the same background and experiences. You would be amazed at how many people in an organization have incredible knowledge of their business domain and little to no knowledge of IT systems, their costs, and benefits. As an IT leader it is your responsibility to help bridge that gap, and the language of business is business not tech jargon, so I would caution against dismissing it.

Another way to think of it is as of user acquisition problem. You have to highlight the benefits in a way that is compelling to them. At the end of a day all progress/fiascos in a company comes down to consistent and effective communication.
You should’ve put HQ Trivia in the post name. Pretty sure that’s why this got more attention.
How likely are delays in other parts of the project? There are plenty of things that could be delayed and would physically prevent train service from running on the line. Is it really such a massive risk to to say that safety equipment must be installed before operations begin, even if the train could potentially make the run without it?

I don't know about that "quite safe" thing. I looked up the stats in another comment in this tree and they look pretty bad for trains.
The WeWork environment is a nightmare. Fishtank offices, music they must buy by the MB blasted all over the place... and they charge as much as a nice private office in some corner of a larger business. All to be surrounded by hipsters with two-person marketing firms and no business plan. I assume they're going to help with networking. A basement is an infinitely better workspace.
> On the other hand, most larger proprietary software businesses devote a surprisingly small amount of their operating budget to development. In my experience it's usually around 10%, but it depends on the company. I certainly haven't heard of anyone spending more than about 30% and there are quite a few big names that spend in the low single digits.

Now I'm curious; what else do they spend money on? Sales and marketing of course, but what else?

which game? An exclusive?

Star Control II was on other platforms, but was great on 3DO, http://sc2.sourceforge.net/ is free now and a deep game. Like 2D Mass Effect I thought. (Star Control II: The Ur-Quan Masters)

I also enjoyed Return Fire and PoliceNauts which are both available on other platforms also. Wing Commander III maybe?
That's the point I hoped was being made, and I agree with that observation -- when the free experience is better than the paid experience, don't be surprised when people who can easily pay still don't. I didn't actually see that point, though.

Anyway, this is a good check on the monopoly of copyright. You've been granted this incredible power to sell copies that you can manufacture for free. But you still have to deliver a good experience; you're not the DMV.

Anyone who lived in Japan knows about “mamachari” bikes, and a diminutive young mother with two kids and groceries on her bike. Not to mention all the senior citizens who ride everywhere as well. Electric-assist bikes, being able to ride on sidewalks or dedicated lanes, and safe parking help make it possible.

Regarding Equifax, when a company like that gets enough negative public reaction, they look for a bandaid. In the case of Equifax, they recently hired ReliaQuest https://www.reliaquest.com/

I've friends at ReliaQuest and I know it is a good company, but I am frustrated that the leadership at Equifax thinks that security is a minor issue that they can outsource to a 3rd party. If a company deals with sensitive financial data, shouldn't security be a core competence?
I'm not sure what point you're making. If a new line is more dangerous then isn't that a pretty good argument for delaying its use until the safety systems are installed?
I'm less skeptical about their display technology and more skeptical about the ML/computer vision and 3D rendering (for both eyes, as light fields) that they claim to cram into a tiny hockey puck along with a battery.
Longfin CEO Gets Triggered in Heated CNBC Interview
Except the lobbying effort to delay the roll out of PTC was done by the Association of American Railroads[1], of which Amtrak is a full member with much influence.[2]

The buck always stops somewhere else.

It seems a little sketchy to me that apparently labor is exempt from the basic laws of supply and demand. Fundamentally, enlarging the supply of workers, through the entry of women, ending systemic discrimination against minorities, elimination of early retirement while reducing demand should have an effect on the price of labor.

I’ve worked for large institutions that have been performing the same work for decades and I’m familiar with their employment statistics. By any measure, they are using fewer person-hours of labor annually. About 40% less since 1997, about 60% less than 1987. One subdivision in particular replaced about 3,000 workers with 50 IT guys and about $10M in annual IT spend circa 1995. Those labor costs are held in check by a constant stream of cheap contractors.
Except in this case we did spend the money on PTC but then didn't bother to turn it on. This fatal crash was the first run of a newly expanded line. Are all new rail line expansions dangerous? If so will trains still be safer than cars if we expanded them enough to carry similar numbers?

I think I understand your argument but I'm not convinced more routes without PTC is safer without seeing numbers.

That train was only 1/3 full, if we added more trains and put more people on those trains would the deaths really be lower? What if we compare to just the alternative of traffic fatalities on interstates between Seattle and Portland? Also this train fell onto the freeway and injured drivers, is that included in traffic statistics (slightly facetious)?

I'm not convinced that banning automobiles entirely would save lives. There are too many practical concerns there. Do ambulances still exist? Would people just drive anyway, perhaps ignoring all laws or driving unsafely to flee police? It's not a compelling argument.

I take issue the most with the attitude that we shouldn't be critical of the safety of trains because there is another method of travel that is worse because that kind of thinking does nothing to make trains safer.

A recent article on how to track cell phone: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14803443
If a private carrier were allowed to take over the northeast regional segment and abandon everything else, it might be feasible. Amtrak runs a profit on this segment, but only because Congress foots the capital expenditures. But maybe a private entity could harness cost efficiencies to make it.
Actually, the complaint in California is in the guardian article linked and has Uber doing the turn illegaly in CA.

That said, the guardian article is a year old, while the Pittsburgh complaint is from today and describes legal behavior in CA.

Basically, Uber probably changed their software's behavior to follow California law following the complaints last year and that is now resulting in complaints in Pittsburgh.

I have no clue what PA law is on this, but I can imagine the law may differ depending on jurisdictions and this would be something where engineers will have to have a variety of behaviors depending on the applicable law.
$5/week would easily pay for my hosting and AWS experiments. $10/week would let me pay for a proper Travis CI / AppVeyor plan (I mess around a lot with buildroot but it takes too long on single / dual thread workers)

Amtrak actually makes a profit [1][2] on both Acela and the slower services in the Northeast Corridor, but not anywhere else.

If we suppose that a privatized passenger carrier would want to make a profit, shedding long-distance trains would be wise, but several Amtrak directors have been against doing so time and time again.

>If you're locating a chirper by sound, you're not seriously impaired by the lights being out.

Even if you're locating it by sound, you probably don't want to stumble around in the dark while you're trying to find it. So you turn on the lights, and you can't find it because it stopped chirping. Then after you turn off the lights, it starts back up, so you turn the lights back on, etc.

"Also, you’d think that with the total number of computing users increasing for all platforms across the world..."

A certain percentage of those computing users are developers creating new apps. It's hyper-competitive.

If you can get a subscription product off the ground, you can double down on the product and support and get some advantages over small-time developers struggling along still servicing a userbase that paid a couple of bucks, one time, years ago.

(For the record, none of our apps are subscription based. I'm just saying I can completely understand the appeal from the developers' side.)
Which is precisely why it would be foolish to store anything there.
Instead of writing a terminal emulator specific gui, maybe someone could write an ncurses based shell wrapper.

The whole problem is that shells are REPLs, and REPLs are not the best method of interaction. This idea could probably be taken even farther.

On the other hand they tend to allow "illegal" prostitution ads... so it's not like they pursue illegal postings in general -or postings which allow the violation of the law.

And I generally agree. The authorities should be going after the perpetrators, not the neutral platform.
Sequoia Is Raising A New Fund That Could Top $6B

Anecdotally from observing my kids school I’d say that yuba bike linked is very popular. As are the Dutch bikes with the big front thing for hauling kids.

That of course relies on living in a place with infrastructure that enables it. Which is what Berlin is trying to build...

Yes, especially if you trade stocks on a short-term basis.

Stocks can be long, rational plays based upon performance, evaluation, analysis of quarterly results and news clippings.

But they can also be greedy speculation.

They are both of these things. Something the 'Bitcoin isn't based on anything asset wise' crowd forgets. Even if they're right in that statement.

> One option for a hypothetical digital currency is to stagger payments so a miner gets say 1/2 of their reward in 10 years.

Who pays for the electricity costs till then?

I dont think you understand the meaning of the word scam, the miners are not cheating anyone with some false promise nor are they getting commissions if they bring other people under their fold like a pyramid scheme

The incentives are needed for miners to start mining in the first place, if you dont like it you are free to start your own currency.
In my part of the world they are talking about shutting down the 2G network in the next few years. Since these small phones run on that network the UK authorities might want to check to see if the problem is going to go away on its own.

It seems that the fallacy of characterizing a large community (e.g. reddit, HN) as a single entity capable of things like hypocrisy is becoming more and more commonplace.
Why wouldn't they just have a blue check for "identity verified" and a green check for "Valued Community Member". Give your racists, weirdos, trolls, etc the blue check and no perks if you can identify them, and reporters, politicians, whatever the green check and the perks.

I really hate how big companies get paralyzed over problems like this. A small group would have solved this the same day the realized it was an issue.

In 2000 at least (when I took it) you could see a real-time leaderboard with the performance scores of classmates, so even after you earned an A, you could compete for the fastest implementation.
I always thought this was "basic driving" knowledge that some people just don't get. Is the solution really to add more markings and signs to the street? Do you need "Left lane is for passing" along hundreds of miles of a highway in California?
That depends how you trade. They might be based on something, but sometimes either THEY are not (look up RIOT as a stock symbol) or those trading don't at all care (day traders).

Look, the reason why stock technical analysis exists is because people sometimes want to make money independently of their perceived value of the underlying asset.

Instead, they try to enter a poker game of mass psychology, some armchair, speculative game theory. Don't kid yourself. While the image of the responsible Warren admiring or index-fund, Boglehead type is a warm one, most of the rest is as speculative and manipulative as Bitcoin.
Terrible (50%?). They're so bad their results haven't been admissible in court for years.
You're forgetting about ethics. Even if your boss doesn't care about security, if you want to be a decent person, you need to at least try to prevent your system from becoming a tool to harm others.
Is the platform neutral if this is illegal discrimination and they include the ability to do that illegal discrimination in their value proposition?

Ask HN: Are you utilizing all the features of Hacker News?
HN FAQ:

In my profile, what does showdead do?

If you turn it on, you'll see all the stories and comments that have been killed by software, moderators, or user flags.

In my profile, what is noprocrast?

It's a way to help you prevent yourself from spending too much time on HN. If you turn it on you'll only be allowed to visit the site for maxvisit minutes at a time, with gaps of minaway minutes in between. The defaults are 20 and 180, which would let you view the site for 20 minutes at a time, and then not allow you back in for 3 hours. You can override noprocrast if you want, in which case your visit clock starts over at zero.

In my profile, what is delay?

It gives you time to edit your comments before they appear to others. Set it to the number of minutes you'd like. The maximum is 10.

--------------------------------------------

Is anyone actually using these features?

Created my account 1725 days ago ... just recently turned on showdead and I can see why these articles might be dead or flagged, but it's still nice to see EVERYTHING that is posted on HN. Honestly never knew what it was... until I did some tinkering.. and it opens up a whole other world on Hacker News.
As someone who wears jeans and t-shirts to work almost exclusively, this comes off as old fashioned and probably not terribly topical anymore.

That said, he's not entirely wrong. What you wear absolutely affects how other people perceive, treat, and judge you (rightly or wrongly). Good to always be mindful of what your appearance says to other people, whether you care what they think or not.
This isn't legal in most states. Outside of California, you're usually supposed to turn directly from the car lane.
I've worked / work for some of the largest banks in the world.. Excel has not gone anywhere..

Is it the best way? Hell no - but excel files still fly around on almost all meeting invites...
I think you can do that. What is not allowed is discriminating against employment seekers over the age of 40. I believe this means it is actually ok to discriminate against employment seekers under the age of 40 and also to discriminate against people over the age of 40 for purposes other than employment, including selling diapers.

In this case "ok" means "not made illegal by this law".

What's important here though is that Facebook isn't selling diaper ads, they're selling job ads and so they are discriminating against a protected class.

I'm 40 and also a JS developer for many years after using C++ and other stacks before that. From what I can tell Node.js and JavaScript stopped being cool for many young people like a few years ago when they got onto Go and other stuff.

Maybe the trend is web assembly with Rust now or something. Or Ethereum contracts and R are cool. I dunno but trends do matter.

Anyway JavaScript is less trendy but still very popular and there are a ton of crap codebases built up over recent years. So any of those that don't get scrapped for a trendier technology will be looking to recruit experienced people to fix up their crap (maybe adding TS declarations for everything or something like that).
That's not an answerable question in any universal way. 30% of what?

Assembling from disparate sources will have more of an upfront cost but cost less per purchase. So it depends entirely on your sales volume.

Super helpful article for a budding penetration tester such as myself! Thanks for sharing.
What is interesting is that the tech companies may be seeing both the Left and Right unite against them.

The left has always been suspicious of large corporations, especially those with monopolies, but because it perceived the founders as part of them it gave them a pass. The right has in the past been more hands off towards big business. However, the right is waking up to the danger of the big tech companies censoring them.

I think in the near future you are going to have a perfect storm where both the left and right get together and break up these companies.
Don't be surprised when that happens. Entire websites sent as a single PNG, or Widevine increasingly determining how/whether you view content. It didn't have to be this way.

You can frame this as civil disobedience against duress, or attack a strawman of morality (which I never brought up). It's not that complicated or subjective. It's a business transaction. I'm saying if you don't like the store, don't patronize it. You're saying that if you don't like the store's prices or how they do business, then you get to take the goods without paying.
This is quite possibly the most evil benign prank I've ever seen. I'd like to give a wink and a finger gun point to the person who thought of this. Are there other things like this that one could do to spice things up at the office? I like pranks like this where nobody gets hurt physically.
With installation and warranty on the work carried out it's entirely reasonable.
