It hasn’t solved it at all. Google have whitelisted a set of first and third party scripts. They routinely add more through a non scalable process that seems to rely on a preexisting relationship with the company.

The analytics tag allows for arbitrary logging endpoints to be used, but that solves one very specific use case.

I believe that they’re going to allow worker scripts in the future, but again, that I don’t believe that will solve every case, and will be AMP specific.
This is a misunderstanding because it doesn't take into account the asymmetry of the situation: you have more to gain by RSUs going up than you have to lose by them going down.

Imagine my yearly pay will be 150K at Amazon or 200K somewhere else.

Amazon stock could go up, and my pay in my second year could be 250K, in which case I am making more by being at Amazon.

Or it could stay the same or go down, in which case my pay in my second year would be <= 200K, but in that case I can just ditch Amazon for another company to bring my comp back to market levels.
Yes, definitely. I would consider a subreddit to be something like a daily magazine, and the curated lists to be something like a collection of them.

I think we can make some pretty reasonable guesses.

In any case, I certainly agree with you about the big picture: it's confusing, it's important to get it right, and a lot of people don't understand it. I may even be one of those people. But at the moment I believe that our disagreement is really over something else, namely, whether it's reasonable to have a prior on the null hypothesis.

Pricing page: "No more games. Save real money with bolt's simple pricing"

Then they go on to not include any ideas of price.

When companies can't give me a price range or idea I always have a feeling that their pricing model is to guess my profits and then guess how much they can take and still gain my business. Usually you can identify these types of propositions when the company tells you they're your 'partner' and you're not just a customer - but a partner.

Just tell me up to $x in sales it's $y per transaction and $y can have different prices for different features... I don't want a 2 hour call or screen cast to find out it's out of budget. This sales funnel tactic is no more moral than the long form copy sales website.. where they get people to spend 2 hours reading something - then at the end hit them for some amazing offer - where the user feels they've already invested 2 hours 'learning how to x' why not spend $95 and some reaaccuring fee for ever... dark pattern.
Well, in my view, we need science writers who really get the science (and who can really write) worse than we need more STEM workers. I say this because such science writers are far more rare than STEM workers are.

But you don't necessarily want to be that writer. You're somewhat unlikely to get the financial stability that you're looking for out of it (much more likely to get it in a STEM career). But if you were interested in being that writer, the world could seriously use you...
I pretty sure he's referring to this "hospital circumcision rates declined in the United States: from 64.5% in 1979 to 58.3% in 2010."[1]. So that implies at least 58% of newborns in a hospital are circumcised. Not a statistician or a census bureau employee but I'm pretty sure the US doesn't have >50% practicing Jewish + Muslim folks.

I'm pretty sure this is the correct explanation. We have a site that recently moved to this setup, and I know for a fact that there are roughly 20% fewer seats than employees. That's what they came up with as acceptable after crunching the numbers on absentee rate.

That is identity in material good selection - or the material good non-selection.

I am suggesting that a, how do you say, Stoic? Zen? Tao? attitude about material goods is something to be desired.

They are there, they are useful, they have a social context, but your identity is more than goods.
The design went from looking like 1997 to looking like 2007.

You can still see the old design in the docs: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/index.html

I appreciate the update, but it's interesting from a design perspective how many technically amazing products have dated website design. I do appreciate not trying to force a fashionable design template onto every site, but there are some really slick minimal ones that can be used that will bring the design up to the current decade at least.
NASH, HSD17B13 and era of programmable therapeutics
The magic of coding, especially early on, is in realizing that you, a user, can deterministically control a computer (like you stated in going rogue). This has nothing to do with writing something that is real, it has to do with cause, effect, action, reaction.
Yes, we do write six-page memos. It's not just leadership, even on the engineering side, design documents are six pagers. Contrary to your initial reaction, six-pagers are very effective for both parties—the writer and the reader. You're right in that writing narratives as opposed to making slides takes longer, but that's not inherently a bad thing. Writing a narrative helps me articulate my design well. If I cannot communicate my design via a narrative, it means there are gaps in my understanding/formulation of the same. For the readers, it gives them a coherent understanding of the problem, approach, pros and cons, along with an appendix of material. This helps them to attack the problem with almost as good an understanding of it as the writer—sometimes better, because they come in with some prior knowledge. The writing exercise takes a few months to get good at, but once you're comfortable writing documents, you retain that skill forever. I'm not kidding when I say this practice is something that'll make me stick with Amazon for a long time.
Maybe inside the SV bubble Amazon is viewed as a career stepping stone or prestigious or whatever? I can't relate but I'm in this weird career niche where open source commits trump or entirely replace resume/cv so I don't claim to be thoroughly knowledgeable about what motivates others. Personally I'd rather deliver pizza than work for a company that exists on the back of a pool of exploited low-wage workers. YMMV.
"PowerPoint makes us stupid" -- James Mattis

(Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/27/world/27powerpoint.html)
I suppose the point is that a study comparing reading to nothing can demonstrate that one particular type of parental attention is more useful than lack of attention, but can’t conclusively show that there’s something special about reading aloud per se. Maybe just talking, or building with blocks, or kicking a ball back and forth, or digging in the dirt, or just doing whatever the kid wants to do but together, .... would accomplish as much, or maybe reading aloud has some unique benefit, but such a study can’t distinguish those.

Edit: but actually looking at the article under discussion here, the intervention seems to be videotaping parents playing and reading with their kids and then showing them back the videotape and talking about it. So maybe what is most needed here is more explicit external feedback to the parents, rather than any specific schedule for the kids.

70 Percent Water – A Sci-Fi “Reverse Frankenstein” Short Story
Up for Lunch with YC Founders in SF? (Airbnb Experience)
Hey, we're the team from Zinc.io (YC W14). We're based in sunny Union Square in the heart of downtown SF.

We've decided to allow outsiders into our office to meet with us for lunch, and so we've created an Airbnb experience for $275 where you can come and have lunch with us.

Check it out here:
https://www.airbnb.com/experiences/213130

Please forward the experience listing to anyone you think might be interested in visiting.

Looking forward to a great response from the HN crowd!

Email aditya@zinc.io with any comments or questions. Trolling is also welcome.
US cities also tend to be more spread out, which also reduces the appeal of public transit. Contrast this to a Chinese city of the same size, which due to the fact that literally everyone lives in small apartments, is much more compact and easier to serve via public transport.
Reveal won a Pulitzer Prize in this year for revealing how all around the country judges steered convicted drug offenders into rehab / thinly disguised private industry work camps. I guess that is pretty extremist if one is in favor of private industry work camps and judges benefiting from them.

Scams, scaling, and dapps: working on the right things at the right time
Companies don't wear superhero costumes. Companies also don't have fun or awareness. This is because companies are a collection of contracts, not living things.

Some person dressed in the costume. They may have been "representing" a company, but that doesn't matter. It was still a human acting like a condescending twit for their own reasons.

I'm not sure what's "toxic" about identifying insulting behaviors in others. I don't want to be around people who do things like that, whether or not I work for them, and many others feel the same way. Being an employer doesn't mean you suddenly get to be horrible and not get called on it. (It just means your employees might be afraid to call you on it until they can get out from under you.)
Making the Most Out of Microservices with Service Mesh
I'd love to be supportive of this and just say what an awesome job PostgreSQL have done.

I don't expect an open-source project with the scale and demands of Postgre to have some sort of cutting edge website. But I don't see a big improvement on usability (though I haven't spent a lot of time on the last site), the documentation is still of the old design.

The starkness is glaring, and I feel this will look very dated in the very near term. Postgre's color scheme itself doesn't help things.

I suspect the most important page is probably documentation, is that not right? And yet, there is almost no content on the main documentation page, you have to link out to the old documentation.

But it can be seized because its under some national sovereignty. That was the point. And a satellite server can still be keyed and encrypted. In fact, maybe it just has to be a CA/key store.
It’s the cumulative nature of progress that really propels humanity forward. Someone made 10% better tools, so I can make 10% better products - which are the 10% better tools for someone else.
Also, if the stock doesn't perform well, Amazon will grant you more to keep you in the expected band; but it won't take any away if you are making "more than you should".
Monitoring and Observability – What’s the Difference and Why Does It Matter?
Nope. You can kiss that garbage goodbye. I don't need your job bad enough to jump through those kind of hoops. Not even if you paid me to do it - I have a life, and I don't have time to do this on the side. And to use vacation days to do this... no. Just no.

This kind of "interviewing" is going to attract only those who are desperate enough to be willing to subject themselves to this abuse. That's not the top talent, and it never will be.

If you're looking for employees willing to be exploited, though, I suppose it might make sense...

That is a really bold way to frame "We don't even give you all of your signing bonus up front" as a positive. Kudos for coming up with it.
Sure. As long as you can prove that you experienced retaliation due to your whistleblowing and not because you were late to work 2 times this year, and can afford to litigate it.

> how does fraud get monetised? Once i have downloaded my millions of credit card numbers from Tor (or stolen my friends mothers wallet) I need to persuade a merchant to deliver me something - but it's always bugged me that they actually have to deliver it. to a physical address. that can presumably be traced.

Once you get your hands on someone else's card info, you bust out by buying as many prepaid Visa cards and store gift cards as their limit allows before the card gets shut down. Then you use them or fence them for cash by selling them on Craigslist.
That was cringeworthy
I've been thinking about moving us to Google's Cloud Platform. What I found in regards to maintenance here: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/regions-zones/#mainten... states that they do live migrations without any down time. Can anyone elaborate? Is this only for Compute Engine? In that case, if one can run postgres on a Compute Engine instance, why not do that instead? Surely, if one can setup a highly available postgres cluster, Google can do updates without affecting uptime???

To be fair, we wouldn't use GCP for anything but virtual servers and storage replication... I have no desire to tie us to Google's infrastructure any more than necessary.

Were your master and standby in the same availability zone? Can't you set diff maintenance windows? WTF?

Ah that's interesting. I recognize SPARK because it used to be part of the Python distribution, used to parse the DSL that describes Python's AST:

https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2014/06/04/using-asdl-to-descr...

In other words it was DSL used to implement a DSL used to implement Python -- how meta! But that post describes replacing it with a simple recursive descent parser in Python.

I used ASDL itself (not SPARK) extensively in my shell:

http://www.oilshell.org/blog/tags.html?tag=ASDL#ASDL

But still I would say that counts as a production usage of Earley parsing! Interesting. I don't know of any others.

(On the other hand, the fact that it was replaced with a few hundred lines of Python code means it probably wasn't needed in the first place.)
> That is, they follow their kids around closely, telling them what to do or not to do 200 times an hour

I'm British, but I live in Denmark.

It's excruciatingly easy to spot some (most?) British families, because of the way they treat their children. "Don't do that" "stay here" "don't touch that".

Danish parents seem much more willing to let the child follow along in the general direction, poking whatever and stamping in the puddles.

Thanks for the feedback here. Very much acknowledged. We're going to be revamping the pricing page.

Typically our deals are more enterprise-y / custom, especially since we're taking on all fraud liability. It's not just a processing rate.

Feel free to send me your volume and website and I'll get you back a quote: rb [at] bolt.com.

And the pricing page will be updated soon. Appreciate it, again.
I had something similar happen a few years ago when I bought a ReSharper license and had to call the bank to reassure them that JetBrains is a reputable company. I found it odd that they blocked the transaction based on location (Czech Republic) alone instead of bothering to do any research whatsoever into individual vendors. It would have taken them all of 30 seconds on Google to realize JetBrains should be whitelisted.
Tinkerboard has amazingly performant GPU. Peak performance is 81.6GFlops, comparable to mid-range desktop GPUs from 2007 (e.g. GeForce 8400 GS had 67 GFlops, GeForce 8600 GT had 114 GFlops). It also supports 4k HDMI output resolution.

RPi is more compatible i.e. the software stack supports OpenGL.

But for cases where it’s OK to code against GLES, Mali-T764 is awesome. I once used NanoVG to build a very nice looking rich GUI, with alpha transparency, animated state transitions, etc. Moreover, it consumes practically no CPU time, because everything is hardware accelerated.
I'm not going to troll you via email (as you welcome in the post), but...really? You're going to (or going to try to) charge somebody $275 to have lunch with you because you went through YC 4 years ago?

Maybe the line between hustling and scamming is a fine one, but is this what you really want to be known for? The guy that charges almost $300 for lunch?
I had a friend in school whose father would work at a local chemical plant. He used to say: “Did you know that red as a color isn’t stable? Just look at all the old red cars, they are so pale”.

IMO the economical argument is the most robust. I see it like this:

There is a big margin between

1) the amount of information that you are legally obligated to provide to public and private sectors

2) the amount information that can be mined about you through facebook and other services (+smart data-crunching)

Safeguarding that information that falls between 2 and 1 is not a matter of moral standpoints or having something to hide. It has only to do with a properly informed rational decision about your personal economy and your well being.

That information that you are willfully leaking will weaken your position in any future negotiation including, financial credit, insurance and employment among others. After Cambridge Analytica it is more clear than ever that it will also weaken your ability to protect yourself against well armed psychological manipulation.

and that is all assuming that public and private institutions do not make mistakes, that legal boundaries and procedures are flawless and that you leave in a well executed democracy.
The documentation pages are all that matter, and quite frankly, they are great.

You can buy call options covering the entire vesting amount of RSUs with less than the 50k that would give you the potential upside that you would have as an employee.

Remember, predicting that a stock goes up is just as lucrative for an outsider as it is an insider. Never make a stock prediction part of your evaluation of a job offer because there are plenty of financial instruments to allow you the same upside as an outsider.
As someone that frequently makes small issue reports and occasional pull requests I am incredibly glad that people are using GitHub. As a contributor it makes things much simpler that all projects use one system instead of everyone inventing their own that works in different ways.

Furthermore GitHub is great for quickly looking over a project when trying to determine if it suits my needs and for getting an impression of how complete it is, how maintained it is and what the code is organized like.

I love GitHub, it is the single best thing that happened in software development for a long while.

GH is not perfect, but it is awesome nonetheless.
Yep, I know if a number has the same first six digits as mine there's a solid 95% probability it's spam. On rare occasions I'll get a text from a number in my area code with some variation of, "Do I know you?" so clearly other people are getting calls spoofed as my number as well.
