Given that we're members of HN (as opposed to someone running the site), I try to provide constructive advice that others can actually use to improve the situation. The admins are well aware of the situation; continuing to argue that it's a problem with the platform while refusing to do what you can to work with the given situation seems like a needless waste of a comment.

I work for Flipkart and I am quite happy that it's Walmart who we are going to work with instead of Amazon.

As an engineer, Walmart Labs (their research division in Bangalore) is a much better fit to Flipkart's culture than Amazon.

The engineering talent pool in Walmart Labs and Flipkart are quite similar. In Bangalore, there are a handful of companies like Google, Amazon, Walmart Labs, Flipkart, and LinkedIn who can really pay the big bucks necessary to hire the topmost talent from India.

Among these, Google has a laid back culture and does not really excel in retail. Amazon has a stressful culture and I know plenty of people who could not take the stress and long hours of working in Amazon beyond a year and moved to one of the other four companies.

Walmart Labs, on the other hand, is quite similar to us. I think there will be a good exchange of ideas and skills between the two companies.

By the way, since a lot of people are commenting here that Amazon is killing it and they are number 1. That's true. But that's not a very relevant metric. For the owners and employees of a company like Flipkart, it is not all about being number 1. It is more about being able to make substantial profit and pay the employees well enough to keep competing with the likes of Google, Amazon, and Walmart Labs in order to hire the topmost talent.

Granted Flipkart is not doing very well in making good profits right now but we are trying to make the areas where Amazon is weak at as our strengths. For example, Amazon at this time does not ship large products (things that are bigger than what you can hold in a hand) to small towns and villages. We are trying to excel in that and it has helped us survive so far. With us becoming teams with Walmart Labs, I am hoping we will do even better.
Not Jeremy (obviously) but having taken both versions of the course I would definitely recommend jumping into the 2018 version. The core content is the same (image recognition, recommender systems, NLP) but the 2018 version uses more cutting edge tools and has a tighter feel (as a v2 of anything usually does).
The people that flag that sort of thing don't actually want diversity and inclusiveness, these are newspeak terms that mean the opposite.

If they actually wanted diversity then they would have to recognize that the majority of the world (and the diversity in it) has some very non-PC beliefs and their policies are excluding those people.
I think you might be confused.

1) Marketing is far more popular today as it was a year ago, 5 years ago, 10 years ago etc. Especially with the rise of SaaS tooling there has been a lot of innovation and interesting work coming out of this space. And let’s not forget influencer and content marketing both of which are relatively new concepts.

2) Growth hacking is not just about marketing. It is a cross functional system bringing in expertise from engineering, data science, sales, marketing, finance etc. It isn’t specificaly a marketing activity but could be growth hacking against a range of business metrics.
> By referring to Facebook users as "Useds", he's trying to belittle anyone who happily uses Facebook by suggesting that they're just a hapless pawn of a megacorp. That is a terrible way to convince someone that they ought to rethink their Facebook use - it just makes anyone currently using Facebook without worry ignore you because you're being condescending to them.

Adding to that, if someone persists in calling me names for using a product they don't like, I can safely conclude that they are not my ally and that they do not have my best interests at heart.

As a satisfied Facebook user, I interpret RMS's rant as him personally declaring that I am his enemy. I have no desire to support him, his projects, or anything he has to say. In fact, I'm likely to oppose everything the FSF does on general principle.

I decided a long time ago that if I publish the code to any of my personal projects, I won't use any GPL libraries, and the code will be under the MIT or Apache2 licenses and not any GPL variant. After seeing RMS continue to go off the deep end, I'm specifically going to find a license that's subtly nonfree, and if not I'll make one.

How are people surprised by this? If Cryptocurrencies become huge, these banks will just buy up crypto companies and also point their resources at building cryptocurrency applications.

> x = 82000 / 114

You’re missing a few zeros, there. Makes the whole thread really confusing, I thought people were talking about this idea that 720 == 72,000, which I found surprising.
Lots of people seem to be rooting around like truffle hogs looking for the partisan politics embedded in this story, but you won't find any.

The conflict happening here is between maintainers, who don't want a dated left-leaning joke embedded in the glibc documentation, and Stallman, who does.

If there's "political correctness" involved, it's right-leaning. But, as a left-leaning pro-choice person: there's no "political correctness" here at all.

It's a story because Stallman has played the "I'm the boss, you can't outvote me" card, not because anyone's in a tizzy over the politics.
When Django started out, the original two biggest contributors were "BDFLs" (i.e., had final decision-making authority).

They stepped back from that years and years ago. If for some reason there's a decision that desperately needs to be made, but for which no decision is coming out of the normal processes, there's a technical board, elected by committers, rotating every release cycle, that can be asked to make the call (disclaimer: I've served three terms on Django's technical board).

But in both the BDFL era, and the current technical-board era, the people with final decision-making authority only exercised it when asked to, as a last resort when other mechanisms had failed.

For the final decision-maker to actively step in and veto something the normal decision process already has consensus around, or just pre-emptively declare something decided against what seems to be a consensus buliding the other way... is unthinkable for me. I'd treat it as a sign that it's time either to fork away from that person, or to remove that person's decision-making authority and put the authority in the hands of someone more responsible.
> I'd expect collision-prevention to have absolute priority ..to [not] make the car run into a large object in its field of vision.

This is a good point.

But I think we've all placed our "toes over the curb" with a car hurtling towards us in preparation to cross the street as soon as the car has passed. No system can stop at each instance of this, nor can it recover past the point-of-no-return created each time this event occurs.

What constitutes "the curb" is subjective when it's not a raised sidewalk. Surely you don't have to be "on the grass" of a multilane high speed road but merely somewhere on the shoulder to claim expected pedestrian lane status. But that (may!) also imply you're an 'awaiting street crosser' not an 'engaged street crosser'. That's where the high level stats comes in.
Even using the correct drivers Phillips head screws tend to strip. I have both drivers, and the Pozidriv screws seem to strip quite a lot less frequently than the Phillips. Of course neither strips as rarely as Torx, Allen, or Robinson. Hex bolts are also great.
I suspect that aside from tamper proof designs, most screw head development is driven from the manufacturing or assembly side. After all, most screws will never be unscrewed.
That's what I mean by "Kubernetes first".

Why not use Kubernetes to declaratively define nodes, disks, load balancers, firewall rules, DNS rules...? If you look at Terraform, for example, it's just an "object store" (the state file) that you modify in order to "converge" your infrastructure.

If you're already using Kubernetes via GKE or a similar IaaS, then of course Kubernetes has underlying primitives (GCE disks, GLBCs, etc.) that are exposed. But those primitives are exposed because GKE runs on top of GCP.

What I'm proposing is a "KaaS" where Kubernetes is the control plane, without the baggage of an additional API.

I wouldn't call it hilarious, but as Mel Brooks once said "Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die".

When you're that obese, food is an addiction in the literal sense. There is a ghrelin/dopamine feedback loop at work and it is not at all fun to break that. People are lured in by these schemes because the addict part of their mind is desperate for excuses not to stop eating. I know how this feels, because I fucking lived it. You wouldn't believe the things you can convince yourself of as an addict. Not to mention that lowered blood sugar is directly correlated with decreased willpower.

It's calories. We know it's calories. We know we shouldn't eat so many calories. That's not the hard part.
Amazon.in in India is a Marketplace. Unlike US, Amazon does not sell anything directly to consumers. You will see "Full-filled by Amazon". This in fact presents great opportunity to local and far flung businesses who did not had access to market.

The foreign direct investment in retail sector is not all open in India. Also as far as I know, most companies can't move huge amount of money to mainland easily. Double taxation is one thing but there are other problems that forces companies to invest locally.
In Bangalore, companies like Google, Amazon, Walmart Labs, Flipkart, Directi, and LinkedIn all attract the same talent pool.

All of these companies can pay either as much as Google or more than Google to attract the topmost talent pool. In fact, many of the engineers in these companies frequently hop from one company to another between these. Of these, Amazon has the highest attrition rate due to stressful working conditions and they are sooner to leave to another company than the others.

Walmart Labs in Bangalore has a talent pool that is running a million node cluster based on OpenStack completely in house with zero dependency on something like AWS (of course!) or GCP. That's quite a feat and I think it will help Flipkart a great deal if Walmart Labs shares some of this incredible talent and resources they have built within their company.

Disclaimer: I work for Flipkart.
Meh, soon enough you're left with the veneer of culture due to the commercial and superficial nature of it. Once this takes effect a cultural ghetto is created and the creators move elsewhere leaving a consumerist mess of boutiques and nonsense in its wake.

It's not like this is new, it's the natural order of capitalizing on development. If you want to hang with the arts kids, you'll be living in squalor. I mean hell, Vancouver used to be a giant powerhouse of culture generation, post-exodus the amount of cultural importance is rapidly decreasing spreading to other nearby locations.

From http://www.finehomebuilding.com/2015/09/16/what-is-the-diffe...:

"A Phillips bit fits in a Pozidriv screw head, but it will most likely cam out before the fastener is fully tight. This can damage the fastener and is why that cup hinge loosens up so quickly when a Phillips bit is used. A Pozidriv bit does not fit in a Phillips screw."
Who said they were surprised?

Read the book Growth Hacking which is quite clear about what the definition is. The idea is to have a cross functional team focus on a specific metric eg. user engagement or churn. And then rapidly prototype and experiment with different techniques to drive the metric in the right direction.

It is just a new name for a combination of existing practices. But then again so is Agile and it changed the way software companies worked.
I break into stuff professionally.

There is nothing I love more than the "just throw {Cloudflare,Akamai,Fastly,etc} in front of it" crowd. If you are going to deploy a WAF [1] it _needs_ to be at the edge of your datacenter or cloud environment. No matter what fancy feature your provider wants to sell you to fix this, there is a way to bypass it.

* Make sure you are logging centrally, and logging the right things.

* Make sure someone is looking at the logs, it doesn't have to be a full time person, but it needs to be someones job.

* Depending on how big you are, hire people to break in on some regular basis. It could be anything from hiring a cheap contractor to run a bunch of automated tools, to full on 10 person adversarial teams. They will find some stuff for you to fix, but more importantly you will know whether the first two points are working based on what you see.

Phillips screws are design to have the driver leave the socket if it is over-torqued. Frequently people keep going after this has occurred which results in stripped heads, but if you listen to what the tool is trying to tell you then it shouldn't happen.

> My problem is unschooling is that just because you’re not interested in something (as a kid) doesn’t mean you shouldn’t learn it.

In my experience as an unschooled child who was in constant contact with the parents of other unschooled children, and other unschooled children, if a child isn't interested in something, that almost always changes over time. One example was where one kid did not wish to learn to read, until about the age of seven where he taught himself to read, without much struggle (and without parental intervention -- the parent found out about it because the kid kept the books under his pillow!), simply because he found a topic he was so interested in that he wanted to learn more about it.

I also know someone else who did not learn to read until the age of 6 or 7, after which he rapidly caught up, and at the age of 9 or 10 he sped through all three of the Lord of the Rings series, and was an avid reader. These are only two examples of something that was typical within unschooling circles.

One fundamental idea behind unschooling is that children develop at different rates, and thus in some cases, trying to force them to learn something before they are ready to learn can actually cause damage -- in a lot of cases this damage isn't visible, but that doesn't mean that it isn't there. I experienced this first hand, with a primary school maths teacher. This mathematics teacher misexplained things, and would constantly pile on the stress. It took me 6 years of unschooling to de-stress enough with regards to mathematics enough to simply add up efficiently (it felt like punching through a mental brick wall, I was completely unable to manipulate the numbers, despite being able to see them). Now at the age of 20 I am still filling in gaps in my mathematics education, through the right aids.

Something I would add is that most people learn the skills that are required for them in day-to-day life, so even if a child is not interested in mathematics, they tend to learn the basics just by helping out their parents with shopping. The most important thing that a child needs in their life is the willingness to learn, which is a skill that school rips out of our children.
Regular exercise.

I used to have an idea that successful people had their life under control to a degree that they could find time to exercise 3-4 times per week.

After I started running regularly and saw the change in myself, I've come to think successful people are successful in part _because_ of their exercise, not the other way around.

It gives a lift to everything you do. It motivates you to be the best version of yourself you can be, starting a virtuous loop of eating better, continued education, big picture thinking and other self-improvement.
I think the problem is that our intuition is more or less based on a mechanical world in which the concept of a side-effect free or ineffective input is foreign.
That's why the general internet ideal was no censorship until fairly recently. Pretty much the "hacker/tech/EFF" was the standard "you have the right to be offended".

Alternatively, "offense is in the mind of the beholder."

The other notable quote is "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
> Open source principals have always been eccentric (Torvalds, Raymond(!), etc.), and the FOSS community tolerated it not only because of their technical contributions, but because the open source community itself is an expression of tolerance based on shared objectives.

I think you're confusing two separate issues.

Torvalds' acidic method of communication is certainly eccentric. But from my casual reading of LKML what he communicates is not. Like:

* some patch is prone to bugginess and not suitable to merge

* some patch shows that the submitter doesn't understand some fundamental aspect of C and thus isn't suitable to merge as written

* some patchset looks similar to some previous subsystem that caused massive problems and should therefore be avoided

* the patch was measured to break things or perform poorly

* the patch is shoehorning in a feature that doesn't belong in the kernel

* some non-technical proposal would cause future problems for Kernel devs and should be avoided

In the case of Stallman's joke, we can certainly say his method of communication-- popping in to make a surprise decision by fiat-- is eccentric. But we can also say the content of what he is communicating is also eccentric. What possible rationale could there be to tying up volunteer glibc maintainers' time for a bike-shedding session about a decades-old joke?

You don't monitor web logs, you ship the logs to cold storage every [crontab spec units for time :)] and monitor your hosts and network for unusual activity.

If anything happens, THEN you look at the logs. The signal/noise ratio of the average web host logs makes combing through them just not worth it.

The bailouts have been a taxpayer bonanza of profit in fact. It's already over $350 billion, including the TARP profits.

Taxpayers made money on the bank bailouts. TARP was a profitable program, generating $15.6 billion in a short amount of time. As a consequence of that mess, the US banking system was brought under considerably tighter control and oversight of the Fed. America's banks are now the strongest - by far - in the world, and are highly capitalized.

The overall bailouts, which included home owners, and far exceeded the bank bailouts by about 30 fold, produced closer to $350 billion in 'profit' for the taxpayer.

Fannie and Freddie have printed tens of billions in profit for the taxpayer and continue to.

US taxpayers received the largest bailout in world history: the trillions of dollars the Fed spent to stabilize the housing market, which is the foundation to the $100 trillion in US household assets. The Fed removed vast amounts of junk mortgages from the market and immediately began providing a base for the housing market to recover from.

"TARP, which peaked at $411 billion despite having been authorized to spend $700 billion, was less than 3 percent of taxpayers’ bailout exposure, which totaled $14 trillion"

"The actual taxpayer profit on the bailout is about $350 billion"

Unfortunately I can't find a source for that right now, but I recall hearing about it in the context of DMCA takedowns, IIRC. Effectively, the argument is, if they have the ability to censor specific kinds of videos, they have to be equally stringent with every video uploaded. Or something.
