The spheres are an ok corporate showpiece but at the end of the day they are just that: a showpiece. They don't integrate well with the neighborhood or contribute much to the broader public environment—and Amazon must be just thrilled that there is literally a gentlemen's club across the street from them—nor do the spheres aesthetically make up for all warehouse style offices Amazon has put up all over South Lake Union.

All the coverage celebrating this private public space also concerns me
Re-posting is fine here really, as long as it's innocent (!). The system the site runs on actually has an automated re-poster AIUI that puts stories back on to the front page if it looks like they missed out on the attention they deserved.

It seems the couple of mods have the power to change the placement of stories at will too, not sure, moderation is opaque here.

Dominant players get displaced all the time. Famous examples you've likely heard of include Kodak, Yahoo, and Sears.

As for Google and Facebook -- people like the products. Consumers are happy. The people on HN concerned about privacy and wasted time advocate tools which have little traction in the market - things like DuckDuckGo (great tool btw.) Why? Because consumers don't care. If FB started charging $100/month for account access tomorrow, you'd better believe they'd be out of business pretty fast (so they won't). How is that a malevolent monopoly? But eventually, even they will make enough mistakes and be overtaken by more innovative companies, as difficult as that may be to consider right now.

You also don't hear from the people who died in a car accident after fighting with their spouse on the way to their dead-end job.

You don't hear about the people who stayed at their "secure" job as opposed to joining a more risky venture, only to lose their job the next month.

> how cautious or not to be at any point in time is actually a very complex judgement.

I think people are taking what was said a bit too far. You can do very safe mountain climbs and see some awesome views, and safely swim rivers near shore, You can reasonably live without taking absurd risks.
It shouldn’t be too hard to get at networks. If you identify an account with suspect followers and then look at the followers common follows and follow dates. They can spread out the follows but still to get it done it any reasonable time the follow times are going to be pretty close.
This is a small note, but IIRC that instruction on the z80 is actually undocumented. It's easy to tell what it should be though since all the shifts are the same opcode except for two bits representing the direction and type (arithmetic/logical). But that would be why the behavior is so weird - it's just whatever happens in the CPU when both those settings happen to be set.
Sure, same with Haskell's Esqueleto, Scala's Slick and Quill, F#'s LINQ, etc., these would all be wonderful to run in the browser, but that's not the reality, nothing is ready yet.

Mentat, for example, is built on sqlite, and in order to use it you have to run an Electron app. If there was a native version of sqlite (or other sqlite-like database) then there would be no such restriction.

It seems the best bet all of the above projects have for a friction-free implementation is WASM. When that's widely supported then one can ship whatever one wants (e.g. WASM sqlite) with their client-side application. Then, finally, it will be possible to use the same query DSL on client and server.
>> And that's hard to predict in advance (see the recent surprising results about predicting sexual orientation from faces).

Those results were not so much surprising, as coerced. For example, training data included an equal amount of men of both sexual orientations and the same for women- an equal distribution, in stark contrast to the one in the real world. This was clearly done to overcome the inevitably poor accuracy when training with unbalanced classes.

In short: don't base anything on that paper, for it was a steaming pile.

There are probably all sorts of arbitrage scams that make things look weird. For example I could imagine you could get in to baskets and lists by having a low price whilst not having product available to ship; then increase the price: sufficient buyers don't want to search again so you sell at the higher price fulfilling the order by purchasing from the lower priced seller ..? Amazon probably can't pick up all such systems, possibly they don't even try for low grossing sellers??

Ah, thank you for clarifying. I must confess that the above were exactly my attempts at understanding the terms you used from the context of your comments- so of course my comments were spot on.

For instance, in the case of scalping, those who are worse off are the concert-goers who don't (go to a concert) because either they can't afford the artificially inflated prices, or there is not enough space for them in the venue. etc.
Looks like a mall for me. From hanging there as teenagers to working there... That and similar Google plans show what is coming next after open floor - a multilevel panopticon.

That's fine if: a) you can get a seat; b) your seat affords you enough elbow and leg room to type; c) your ride is smooth enough to type. My current commute includes a 40m - 1h bus ride. I get 'a' every day; I usually get 'b'; 'c' is pretty rare. When I used the train instead 'c' wasn't a problem, 'a' was difficult and 'b' was virtually non-existent.
Is there any way to frame "exploitation" that doesn't carry negative connotations?

I don't really have anything to do with Marxists ("they") and I don't see how their attempts to convince of anything are relevant to our discussion.
I've always wanted to make an open source autonomous watercraft to collect data. I also think some open source uplink buoys would be sweet. Then your craft could offload lots of data to them (which would be pushed to the internet) instead of paying for satellite time or trying to coordinate picking up your craft manually.
To a certain degree the list of people who don't believe in an objective reality includes Kant, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. In fact probing the rather complex and contradictory nature of objectivity has been part of almost every philosophical school of thought or tradition I've ever read about.

It's funny - I find myself violently opposed to epistemological relativism right up until the moment I hear someone else use the term "objective reality". ;-)
Yes, and you can even use the range syntax instead of begin/end.

Hey, Tunisian living in US here. From my experience meeting people around here who have been in Tunisia for learning Arabic or any other business, I have been always receiving good feedback. Tunisians are easy going and I don't think that you will have any problems to socialize especially if you are from a country like Canada. People will be interested to learn more about you and you will be surprised about their hospitality. Renting an apartment and cost of living in general will seem very cheap for you. I am pretty sure you can find a good place around La Marsa or Sidi Bousaid for no more than $300 a month. Maybe try https://www.tayara.tn/fr/tunisie/toutes_les_categories/%C3%A... for some options (the website is in french).
Out of curiosity, where do you live? When I lived in Mississippi I couldn’t buy it, either. But then, I lived in a town where I couldn’t buy cold beer.

With infrastructure in multiple regions, do you have independent Aurora databases running in each region? Do you have any data synchronising between regions or are they running completely independently?
Out of the FAANG's neither Apple nor Amazon provide free lunch (although Apple's on-site cafes are very good. You pay $5-10 for an entree, depending on what you get).

Going by Glassdoor, Netflix doesn't universally provide free food at all its offices either.
Docker maybe? I know that's one way to keep a docker container open.
I think cutting the poor out of going to concerts produces externalities too; financial profit seeking doesn't care about the cultural fulfillment of the population AFAICT.
You aren't applying that method correctly.

The method is just making the assumption that you are observing a entity at a point in its lifetime that is randomly distributed with a uniform distribution. So there is a 75% chance that you are in the middle 75% of its lifetime (i.e. somewhere from 12.5% to 87.5% through its lifetime) and there is a 95% chance that you are in the middle 95% (somewhere from 2.5% to 97.5% through the lifetime).

The US is currently 242 years old, so the 75% confidence interval for its total lifespan is 276-1,936 years for an expected end date of 2052-3712. The 95% confidence interval end dates are 2024-11,456.

Applying it in reverse, the chance of it collapsing within my expected lifetime is 18%. That's not exactly comforting.
garbage speculation
Google made websites manually go through and disavow low quality inbound links to have ranking penalties removed. Twitter could suspend people and have them disavow followers. People having to clean out hundreds of thousands of fake followers would probably kill the practice pretty quickly.
> Libraries like Lovefield can be built way faster than specifications can be written.

That may be true, but when said library uses a builder pattern rather than sql statements you can throw out all of your server-side query DSL code and waste time reimplementing everything on the client.

Since SQL has been around for several decades it's not surprising that mature server-side SQL libraries are available in abundance. And these days every language under the sun compiles to javascript -- wouldn't it be great to share the same query DSL code on client and server?

The answer is, emphatically, yes! Current state of affairs makes this virtually impossible to do in a widely supported manner.
Again bands and resellers are making different optimizations.

A percentage of people showing up will buy extra merchandise which increases revenue. This captures value from people willing to pay higher ticket prices. So, if the band picks a price to sell out our reseller can buy all tickets raise the price and not sell out for a net profit. Meanwhile the band makes less money and fewer fans get to see the show.

Remember, in the current system both the venue and bands are maximizing their profit.
Where's the flux capacitor?
I wasn't aware there was a free tier. I really appreciate that it's an actual free tier:

Neither was I, agreed! Thank you for sharing, now I can actually test a few services to see if it makes sense migrating some of our microservices (or probably better stated: nanoservices) to gCloud that are currently running on expensive bare metal (wasn't my call, I'm just trying to get us to modernize).
If there's not enough space in the venue that is obviously not the scalpers fault.

Regarding prices, assuming a ticket ends up going to someone willing to pay the price the reseller charges, then that state of a affairs is a Kaldor-Hicks improvement over the ticket going to someone else who paid less for it. Because the person paying more has more consumer surplus from going, and therefore it is more efficient if they go - any money changing hands is irrelevant to a Kaldor-Hicks analysis.

Scalpers can only exist if there are more people wanting to pay list price than seats. Scalpers ensure those seats go to those who assign higher value to them, rather than randomly. This improves Kaldor-Hicks efficiency.
Man, what a ridiculously worded title.
Yeah I have turned down multiple recruiters flat because of glass door reviews. They often don’t even want to tell me the company until I drag it out of them.
Remote Procedure and Event Protocol – Implemented
In my search of something similar to this I found the unfortunately named WAMP (Web Application Messaging Protocol). Despite its goal of being simple and easy to implement, I found the spec complex and bloated. It doesn't stick to being a messaging protocol, also defining routing and brokerage - unnecessarily so in my opinion. I subscribe to the single-responsibility principle, and WAMP seems to violate that.

So I wrote up this RPEP spec (https://github.com/Tixit/RPEP) and want to know what people think about it. I also implemented the spec in javascript (https://github.com/Tixit/rpep.js). If anyone wants to contribute to RPEP by either making implementations in other languages or discussing changes to the spec, please let me know.
I get what you're saying- but that's not absolving the scalpers, it's just apportioning some of the blame for the exploitation of concert-goers to concert organisers and venues.

It's like having a mafia and a corrupt police force, both. It's not like because the cops are corrupt, the mafia gets away scott free. They're both to blame that things are going down the drain.

In fact they're the same kind of people, following the same kind of tactics, just from different positions in society, like.

What kind of hardware architecture do you want? You can reserve CPU type easily (https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/cpu-platforms), including if you need it to be "Anything newer than <x>".

Also, sustained use discounts AUTOMATICALLY discount you (including binpacking a bunch of machine, so let's say you ran 4 machines for 7 days at the beginning of the month, you'd get the discount of running 1 machine for 28 days).
It is a great idea to program a dashboard to one’s taste. Most dashboards these days are terrible and illustrative of somebody else’s UI dreams. Imagine something more useful than what Audi or Tesla provides and not the crap Apple/Google gives us on our phones
it also doesn't make sense to call it a blockchain service when it's a web app with a cryptocurrency escrow service
Microsoft Layoffs
I think Ikeboy may have actually nailed your objection: you appear to dislike touts, resellers, etc., because they increase ticket prices whilst appearing to add no value to the system.

The same objection is levelled at the notion of employees who are restricted from accessing the financial gains that the value of their labour leads to, that the owner of a company - a rich person say who inherited their money - is possibly getting more money just because they are rich whilst the workers, when classed as employees, are doing all the work that creates the value represented in the financial profit that the owner walks away with.

So, Ikeboy is saying you appear to object because the resellers are interjecting themselves and extracting the value without creating any value themselves, much as a corporations stock holders might. He appears to be saying "what's wrong with that", it is at the heart of capitalism after all.

I don't like the short days in Denmark, but I'd dislike them less if there was the opportunity for hiking etc in the snow.
I mean, if you think poor people attending concerts is a public good, have the government subsidize it. Which to some extent they do with public television stations like PBS or the BBC.
> In order to let the past go, you must forgive yourself officially. Feel the embarrassment or shame one final time. Really feel it throughout your body. ... Finally, make the decision to forgive yourself and do it. It helps to even say it out loud. From now on, it's OK. You are forgiven.

This is inane. I'm reminded of Mark Wahlberg "forgiving himself" for beating the old Vietnamese man blind.
It sounds like he's a keen observer of nature.

How do you tell if it's increasing Information corruption or reducing Information asymmetry? Nobody has an objectitive view. Glassdoor isn't going to come out and say they are producing negative population scale effects, just like Facebook didn't.

Once upon a time when Wikileaks/Arab Spring was unfolding everyone thought reducing information asymmetry would be net positive. But here we are with a 24*7 fake news culture in the "information age", and Snowden sitting in Russia of all places.

I've always found the reviews much more grim than the reality of places where I've worked. No surprise since it's a venue for departing and departed employees to vent (and then for HR teams to try to counteract by encouraging embarrassing good reviews from current employees), but in either case I've always found myself laughing at reviews of my workplaces, it's like "what company are these people actually working for? Because I'm pretty sure I don't go into a toxic hellscape of an office every day."
Despite what the article says, Glassdoor still hasn't solved the fake review problem. The pay data is also woefully inaccurate. It works best only with a combination of other sources.

The biggest impact to my career has been the semi-anonymous mobile app Blind. I realized I was getting underpaid and I quickly fixed it. I thought I negotiated hard in previous jobs but maybr it was all a ruse to make me feel like I was getting the best salary. Glassdoor and Paysa had lower total compensation numbers for my position.
A new way to join the RC community
> In a statement, Ludlow said royalties from the song since the early 1960s had been donated to the nonprofit Highlander Research and Education Center in Tennessee, which created the We Shall Overcome Fund to distribute all of the royalties through grants and scholarships in black communities. It was not immediately clear how much money the fund had distributed. “Without the same scope of copyright protection, Highlander’s grants and scholarships will be deeply affected in the future,” the statement said.

Without transparency, I am leaning towards assuming there is a hefty dose of Hollywood Accounting (or whatever the name for the the music industry's equivalent is) going on[0].

> Ludlow also said uses of the song had in the past been “carefully vetted” but warned that its words and melody could now be used by advertising agencies and others “in any manner they wish, including inaccurate historical uses, commercials, parodies, spoofs and jokes, and even for political purposes by those who oppose civil rights for all Americans.”

Oh I am sure that a for-profit company "vetting" potential clients is much more reliable than the inevitability of a huge social backlash against anyone foolish enough to use this song for selfish purposes.

In general, the individual engineers do. The point of ethics training is to recognize that you have ethical obligations that extend past your job responsibilities, and that when your ethics conflict with your work tasks, it's not your ethics that should compromise.

For some of us, that might mean not working on a project that we could reasonably foresee would result in the deportation of children who don't speak Spanish and have only ever known this country to some foreign country. For others, it might mean not working on projects that assist women in obtaining an abortion.

Obviously, there's no "class" that settles the differing ethical boundaries we all have (though better ethics education would allow us to recognize the huge subset of ethics that we tend to share). The point is to tune in to our own ethics and not let the noise of professional life occlude them.

As a field, I think we've allowed ourselves to simultaneously believe that we're doing the most important work that's being done this century, while at the same time believing that we're powerless to shape the outcomes of our labor. But that's not true at all: if you believe the former, then it's likely that we have immense power over the latter! So, I think the point of the root comment on this thread is well taken.
I'm not a body, I'm a mind running on a body!

Food for thought is that life extension treatments once developed will ultimately be cheaper and safer than hospital care. So they'll be compulsory, in effect. Or rather everyone will continually face the question: more extension, or voluntary euthanasia? No more waiting around to die. Purpose, metaphysics, mental health all brought into sharp focus.
