Google, Facebook, Palantir, Microsoft - it's a narrative that those organizations spend dollars to support because it helps them in recruitment and in b2b consulting. It is similar in investment banking and management consulting. The employees lap it up, and learn to talk-the-talk. Each of these tech companies are cash cows with huge locked-in revenue streams that do not depend so much on innovation for survival. IMO Amazon and Apple seem to be organized around accountability and sink or swim projects which create a different walk-the-walk culture, similar to start ups. Though I'm just an outsider looking in.
Why does it have to be marketed as a business service to be considered a business service? We used Hangouts at my last job until it started shitting the bed in Firefox and Google told us to move to Allo or Duo or whichever. Yea we weren't a 50+ enterprise account, we were just a little English school in Taiwan, but we were a business using a google service that got shafted.

That is not asking for help. Asking for help would be "Can somebody please help me? ... rest of message here...". Even better is asking an individual (or individuals) directly.

I love this guy because he gives us a genuine and unfinessed view of how brazen pharma is. His outspokenness is unique but his business dealings are not.

Some will says that this sends a strong message, but I think the only take away people in similar situations will have is: keep your mouth shut if you're exploiting the system.
I'm really sorry to have to say such things, but you clearly don't know what you are talking about. No correlation between udder size and milk production, so you can clearly try to orientate your production towards nice shaped udders. Especially crucial with milking robots anyways, so that's going the right way. Each bull and its offspring has genetic testing to try to give such indicators. See https://issuu.com/eurogeneais/docs/spring_2016_low_res for an example, you can see udder there amongst other regarding milk of course but also posture, with positive or negative factors.

The skeletal problems are 1 - not the most common factor of reform, and not really that common 2 - not hereditary most of the times but come from housing and such. The average is certainly not 3 years but a bit higher, around the double actually, as at 3 years you barely had the time to end the first lactation, which is the worst one for milk production. Antibiotics are needed because of the environmental pressure and modern breeding methods more than genetic factors, by far.

Honestly you just threw a bunch of non-sense about a field you clearly don't know at all. I really would like to know how people can have such vigorous claims about things they don't know an ounce about.

As for your dog you're proving my point : hereditary diseases are a big thing in purebred and you sadly got one that wasn't from a very clean pedigree (honestly Belgian Shepherd are by the way really far from the worst breed in that aspect btw so either you're unlucky or you didn't search too much for a good breeder before acquiring your pet). But good breeders now are systematically testing reproductors and offspring for well known diseases in each breed and it helps reducing their incidence.
Parsable seems to be dealing with the issue of unique workflows. From what I understand they provide a tool to companies that lets them create their own workflow.

If they are willing to pay a blocked remote worker for sitting on their ass doing nothing, why should the worker rock the boat so much that they burn all bridges at the company and finally have to get a different job? Remote jobs seem somewhat hard to come by and can be a sweet deal.

The company needs to take at least partial blame here.
At the end of the day though Google/Youtube has the ultimate hammer, "sorry you can't use our service any more." which, in a similar way, has already killed a bunch of AdSense supported web sites (Dr. Dobbs being perhaps the most memorable to me).

This is the world we live in today, company A has some good or service that company B uses in a structural way (ie without it company B wouldn't exist). Company A decides they want/need more revenue they squeeze Company B for it, generally it eventually kills Company B.

This scenario has played out again and again, and whether it was Company B using Company A's free API, or Company A's copyrighted material, or Company A's community web site, the squeeze happens and company B usually dies.

Think about a product/solution/service that scales revenue without scaling directly with your own time. For example, tutoring would suck because the revenue is tied directly to how much time you spend. However, a tutoring portal where you connect tutors with students can scale in revenue beyond the number of hours you can put into it. In other words, you want something that makes money while you sleep.
>I see a lot of people essentially rage-quitting (let's be serious, that's what happened here) and then wasting years of their life working bottom-of-the-barrel contracting/crappy startup jobs because they "don't like big companies"

That's basically what I am doing for exactly those reasons. But I don't think my jobs are crappy.

I traded stupid amount of money for more freedom to choose what I work on. I don't want to be a monkey on a keyboard nor do I want to put with the bureaucracy of a big corporation.

Or am I getting it terribly wrong? My brief view of a large organization terrified me and I don't want to work in such a place. Are big places really that much better if I am basically paid the same amount of money?

Research Team Uncovers Hidden Details in Picasso Blue Period Painting
"Writing documentation and fixing bugs"

If you word it that way, it sounds incredibly easy. Actually, what that person did was identify problems in legacy software, reverse engineer them (a hard thing), document them (reduces maintenance/extension costs), and fix problems. A company Google's size will be making most of its revenue on legacy systems that constantly need extension, repair, and refactoring. They'll sometimes do something clean-slate but improving legacy stuff is a high-impact skill.

So, a mix of hard and useful work on numerous legacy systems that can be used to improve revenue-producing systems does sound like it merits some senior, software engineers. Heck, at a lot of companies, there's always senior software engineers guiding people through legacy projects just out of fear of breaking mission-critical systems. Usually a mix of a knowledgeable veteran and some junior coders for grunt work. Whereas, making new features on well-documented, well-tested systems is so easy in comparison that it surprises me that this alone can get people into senior positions if evaluations are done right.
Ribbon was the name of just one element of the Office 2007 UI system. Fluent was supposed to be the name of the whole system.
> The target name `all` is special: When you run make with no target specified it will evaluate the `all` target by default.

This doesn't appear to be true, at least on GNU Make 3.81 (MacOS). Rather, the first target listed is the one that gets built on `make` with no arguments.
Wouldn't that be awesome!
Signed up for my non-profit, the onboarding flow was simple and fast: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/LlcnOfXiu

However, I have a few pointers. During the onboarding flow, I had to fill out the title, description, image / videos. It would be nice to see a layout of how the page would look like so I can determine how these information would be presented to the public and then fill it out according (how much to write, what to write, etc.)

In the description, adding url links felt a little clunky. It seems that only single words could be linked, whereas the expected experience is to be able to link multiple words at once.

Looking at my created page, I could publish updates. This was a pleasant surprise because I came in expecting a static page. Do you see non-profits as a target audience?

Good Job, I like the product. It feels simple.
I agree with everything you say, but I also think that it's incredibly unlikely Facebook will curate jobs any more than they do the rest of the content in Facebook. You're right about the opportunity to improve recruitment in these aspects, but it's not going to be Facebook that does it.

Triplebyte Raises $10M from Initialized Capital, Marissa Mayer and Paul Graham
It is quite reasonably easy enough compared to any real practical programming task. For example:

// your ordinary function declarations
int plus2(int i) { return i + 2; }
int times2(int i) { return i * 2; }

typedef int (*modfun)(int);
// a very reasonable syntax altogether
modfun get_modfun(bool mul) { return (mul ? times2 : plus2); }

Nests as well if you ever wanted to:

modfun get_modfun_no_mul(bool mul) { return plus2; }

typedef modfun (*modfun_getter)(bool);
modfun_getter get_getter(bool allow_mul_opt) { return (allow_mul_opt ? get_modfun : get_modfun_no_mul); }

If we're talking about university faculty, I would hope that they would all have a PhD! The problem is likely that these are not tenure track positions and that means low pay, low job security, and possibly no ability to direct research and have grad students.

Worse, even if they were tenure positions, the compensation is still out of line with industry. Mind you, there will be a subset of people that will be fine with that as long as they have the ability to do research.
In most cases, that charge isn't passed on to the buyer/donor. When it is, it should be made explicit.

Nonprofits sometimes make it an option, e.g. "Add 3% to your donation to help offset credit card processing fees".
I don't know if I agree. I work directly with clients together with another dev and I do most sales. It's not 24/7/365. I sell, network and meet new contacts maybe about 35-50% of my week during intense sale periods. I work 35 hour weeks. All year through I have about 4h per week in sales activities.

The "trick" is being socially skilled and interested in others, to get them to trust you with jobs that are large enough so you don't have to be constant lookout for new assignments. (I do not mean to imply that you lack social skills). I have a small client pond (50-75 contacts on first name basis) where I'm becoming the big dev fish and people have started sending referrals my way nowadays.

Your point about going it alone is valid - I chose to partner up because of the crazy amounts of context switching solo operations require.
If you don't use their proprietary offerings, you lose most of the benefit of going to the cloud over being on prem.

If all you're doing is hosting a bunch of VMs on the cloud, what's the point?

Yes, be mindful as a developer I do take a few common sense steps...

1. ElastiCache uses the Memcached protocol so you're really not tying yourself to anything.

2. Lambda - think the "ports and adapters" pattern. Treat your Lambda function as a controller and keep all of your business logic separate.

3. Logging - all of our logging that goes to CloudWatch goes through Serilog. We can switch out the sink easily enough to anything.

4. Simple Queueing System - don't have calls to SQS all over your code, have it in one central module (in our case a Nuget package).

5. Autoscaling - have a shutdown method and wrap the calls that check when your instance is being shut down as events.

6. AWS KMS - We use Hashicorp's Vault and use AWS as a "backend".

7. Cognito - authentication. It's just Middleware for .Net Core that creates a principal before every request. It would be quite easy to add another piece of middleware.

I'm trying to set up an account, but it's stuck on "Creating".
By spying I didn't mean moving multi megabytes of data or reprogramming a processor. On a PC stealing passwords can be done by inserting a small uController that acts as a HID device on one side and talks with a USB keyboard on the opposite side. If you hide it into a keyboard and instruct it to record the first two lines one writes just after power on, which are almost always the system username and password, then add them to a flash into the microcontroller, then it's just a matter of social networking to get the data ("hey, here's a new keyboard, I'll trash the old one for you").
On phones one has to intercept screen taps, which is harder, but if you have access to the hardware and develop its drivers, you very likely can do that before passwords get encrypted. All it needs is a daemon reading taps and comparing them with the virtual keyboard key positions (assuming you haven't access to the virtual key output, which would make it even easier) once you have that daemon, tell it to read the system load and intercept what the user taps after a long sleep, which will very likely be the device pin. Want the bank password?, just read what the user taps when there's a bank app in foreground. I'm sorry for those laughing, but it can be done.
> it does cause a net increase of miles driven compared to people driving themselves.

It's possible, but I'd need to see both sides of the equations as well. How many miles are driven looking for parking (I've seen estimates as high as 30%). Do people forego car use because they don't have a car (and the marginal is therefore higher)?

Interesting question, but the article doesn't really go that deep in answering it.
Totally, but at some point aren't they polluting their A/B data by exhausting user confidence and diluting their own market too much? At one point I had both Duo and Allo (and Hangouts and Messages and Voice) installed on my phone, and I never found a use for either. Allo never provided a compelling use case for my everyday life, and why would I try and convince someone I know to install Duo just to try it out, aside from pure curiosity? I just don't understand what their endgame with all this is
I have been using it for a while to extract text from invoices/pdfs. The troble that I have to go to math the corresponding header to its value in each row is exhausting to say the least.

That's noble, but many aren't inclined trade personal profit for the company's profit. I don't think they should be, either. It's the company's job to ensure that their success is aligned with their employees'. Raise the issue to management, and if no action is taken, then you've done your due diligence.

I can imagine situations where you should care about the company's performance, like a non-profit or certain startup situations, but I think the majority of enterprise developers fall under the above.
No, we have not used auto-scaling with automatic hardware provisioning. We assume that the hardware is there and we just request more containers (e.g, YARN containers). Theoretically, it should be possible to do that if the autoscaling policy is extended to request for additional hardware before changing the parallelism of a stage. But this functionality is not currently there.

> A large office building or school campus uses many times more electricity than residential counterparts, and they have the P&L incentive to cut costs wherever possible (such as through smart metering and devices that communicate with one another to maximize efficiency).

The difference is that commercial and industrial buildings already try to minimize costs. In the residential space, occupants often aim for comfort over cost - sometimes missing out on opportunities to retain comfort while minimizing cost. So there may be more relative opportunity to cut costs in the residential sector than commercial or industrial. Of course the sector with the largest opportunity is probably transportation.
Very good question, @kqr. Unlike our competitors, BuyMeACoffee is catering to small and big creators alike. Even if we waive the platform fee for the first 100k creators, there is still room for us to make money as there are millions of creators online. By making the entry barrier low, we are hoping to attract the maximum number of creators and initiate a network effect. 90% of our existing users are referred by other creators, directly or from their promotions :)
Business service = you pay for it, either directly or as part of your G-Suite subscription. I don't believe you that they told you to move to Allo/Duo. Hangouts works, still works, and will continue to work for the near future. It has hundreds of millions of users.
The Wayne Gretzky thing is just yet another label of Andrew Peller, one of the two specially-blessed mega corps that get additional privileges from the Ontario gov't (can have their own offsite winery retail stores, are allowed to import foreign grapes and sell them as Ontario product, etc.). But they're one of the better labels here.

The path to financial success in Ontario's wine industry seems to be to dump a pile of money in and produce an OK product that doesn't rock the boat too much (same 4 or 5 grape varieties that everyone else here uses) with a fancy new name for a few years and then sell out to Vincorp or Andrew Peller and then get out.

But we have a wanna-be AOC system here (the VQA) that stops you from doing anything interesting. You can't even put the words "Ontario" or "Estate" or "Niagara Escarpment" on the bottle's label if you grow anything other than their mandated list of approved grape varietals (no new hybrids! has to be a fancy European grape that will probably just die here or make mediocre wine anyways).

B.C. has a healthier wine industry. Smaller minimum acreage requirements, more experimentation. And there's some interesting new things coming out of Quebec and Nova Scotia.

I think there's more to it than that. The book proposes a return to a classical rational-modern worldview with typical liberal values ("Enlightenment"). That optimistic view of the future would be one way out of the tribalist identity politics that, fueled by fear, are ruining Western society. There are big power interests, both financial and cultural, that are interested in stability. Pushing Pinker's book is more than just marketing.
As far as I can tell as a non-american: people support states rights when the federal government does something they dislike, and they support federalisation when it does something they do like. Most people aren't very principled about it.
