I think your job is to put money in companies with low valuations that EXIT with high valuations. Your investors won't give a crap if you do a good job of finding unicorns that eventually fissle out.
That's kind of how I got here, I kept on choosing jobs that were significantly different from what I was doing before, but were willing to give matching significant pay increases. That can't last forever though, unless I'm mistaken.

Tracking IP address for SAAS companies is important for defending chargeback claims.

For e.g when a customer demands a chargeback through their bank, Stripe notes down the IP address of every transaction. It is important to note this IP address and check if the user created an account using the same IP address. How are SAAS companies to provide sufficient usage proof when it comes to defend chargebacks?
Some ideas:

- LLVM backend is limited regarding the supported CPU architectures;

- Rust compiler is not certified for high integrity domains, where human lives might be endangered;

- Features like SIMD are still nightly

- Lack of integration with closed source toolchains from OEMs for mixed debugging and other development workflows, e.g. Keil, Microchip

These issues might be complete irrelevant, or showstoppers, depending on the company.

Well if it was meant as satire, I don't feel it was successful. If it was meant as an example to replicate, I don't feel it was successful.
Well that's true.

I think the issue he was speaking to was that if many of the new features require doing things in a new way then it really is something new. But your point is well taken as well. C++ is still C++ whether you use standard templates or not.
Looking at the hundreds of mostly incorrect or irrelevant demographics that Twitter has be in, I would still say there’s a huge amount of waste going on. At least with offline advertising (like TV or print) the “fuzziness” is very explicit. Here, Twitter sells you that you can target “dog owners”, but nowhere through the Twitter ad buy process does it tell you how BS that targeting is.
Eh. This design trend is on the way out - 2016 was its hey day.

> It was part of the agreement when you consented.

That's a big point in GDPR, I think -- there never was consent. It's the same as why terms and conditions aren't legally binding: nobody actually considers there to be a valid agreement when they click next. In a sense GDPR is just enforcement of people's expectations, and ending predatory practices that were misusing them.

This could be mitigated by just having people you don't interact with often in some meaningful way (for some definition of meaningful), they just get automatically unfriended. As if you had forgotten about them.

There's not hard cut _per se_, just that after the 150th, if both people don't interact, the relationship fades away...
That's part of why it's such a nightmare to parse.

The GCC C++ parser is over a megabyte of ASCII text. Think about it: it takes over a million characters to figure out how to parse C++ code. This complexity is partially because there are so many ways to do the same thing.

All auto parameters, or make it a template? `if constexpr` or `std::enable_if_t`? Macros for generic programming or variadic variadic template templates? Overloading or specialization?

I love C++, and backwards compatibility is something that's been valuable for it, but it certainly comes with its challenges.
This is a really nasty, cold-hearted piece of writing. I can see you've worked hard at the style: it has that self-satisfied, superior-minded ring about it that is so often found among the "columnists" of all those ghastly overstuffed weekend newspapers and passes for "dry wit" among the modern-day chattering classes. But really, are you proud of yourself for being so mocking and judgmental towards all these people? Is that what they teach your wife in church? I don't believe for a moment your opening claim that your desire to rent out a room was motivated by an aversion to selfishness. You sound like a deeply unpleasant person to me.

Out of the three you listed, only one has actually made money. Snapchat and Twitter have lost incredible amounts.

Also, I think what the article is suggesting is that brands don't typically get built on the back of advertising _initially_. All three of those started without it and added it in later once they were highly entrenched to try to monetize.

I still don't think it was a very good point in the article, though.
The author fails to mention a likely outcome: the co-mingling of centralized solutions and decentralized ones. Decentralized solutions would be at global scale (not at 2% usage) and they'd complement centralized solutions, not replace.

For example, digital property rights might be best preserved via decentralized tech. But perhaps you might take your digital property and use it to interact with centralized services. Imagine a video game where the player truly owns the in-game items they use as crypto tokens, but the game itself runs on centralized servers.

The same might be said of Facebook-like applications. Rather than imagining a future where a decentralized Facebook exists, perhaps it becomes more of a hybrid decentralized-centralized platform.

How can a SAAS defend chargeback claims without IP address? Stripe stores IP address and the proof that the user paid for the subscription using the same IP and created an account ties them together.
It will remain fully backward compatible. No need to use new features, and all existing code will compile.

No, advertisements like that are more about selling the brand than selling iphones. Something TV is probably pretty good for.

> Likelihood: essentially nil, for many, many reasons, such as: The overwhelming majority of people don’t want to maintain their own private keys, and if you don’t maintain your own private keys, cryptocurrencies are essentially no different from fiat money held in banks, except for the many ways (such as the irrevocability of transactions) in which they are wildly inferior.

Looks like an complete failure of imagination. Is it really that hard to assume there could be solutions to problems like that?
Actually, it is more specific. Condos are like apartments that you own where the roof, plumbing beneath the floor (sometimes), and exterior are owned and maintained collectively by something like an HOA.

But if you own and maintain the roof and exterior of your place up to the place where it adjoins to other units, then it's actually a townhome.
I think you're missing the point that's being made in the parent post. It's not that enhanced privacy will cause advertising to implode, it's that as the industry has gained more knowledge and understanding of advertising it's becoming apparent that advertising isn't worth what they thought it was.

I saw a similar up-ending of an ad-dependent industry 15 years ago with newspapers. Advertisers for years assumed a certain value based on the circulation numbers as reported by ABC. There was no real way to directly measure that value other than inferred activity within a geographic region that could arguably be tied to newspaper advertising. With the internet advertisers began to be able to track specific value for ad campaigns based on click-thrus, cost-per-action, etc. Those values were lower than the assumed value of newspaper advertising, which began a shift in where money was spent. Combine that with the fact that ABC numbers started to show that they were far less accurate than originally assumed, due in part to gaming by the papers themselves, and revenue started seriously shrinking. The last firewall that newspaper had was classified, which quickly folded in the face of job and real estate sites and of course craigslist.

Internet advertising has been suffering the same game-playing by sites that newspapers pulled with ABC circ numbers, and as advertisers gather more and better performance data about the value of ads and campaigns they're realizing that value is less than they thought and seems to be trending down.

Regardless of whether there's more or less privacy for users/consumers, the indications are that advertising is becoming less and less valuable.

He wrote it in an internal group dedicated to the very subject he wrote about. It got leaked and distorted, and I can't even count how often the whole context got twisted in the exact same way as you just twisted it.

Who leaked it? Dunno. What's so bad about it? Can't say. But one thing is sure, the person who ended up losing their job is to blame. And of course the people who just can't even be bothered to get fact one of it straight while signing it off aren't spineless in the least. How would that even work, all people have spines.
If a new language feature is available, someone in your team will start to use it, because it compiles, and code becomes shorter, so why not. And you will have to review their code daily, which forces to "relearn" the language. I think this is why OP complains.
That's the real problem with modern TVs. Several "upgraded" aspects come together in a bundle:

• Bigger screens.

• Much better screens (like QLED by Samsung).

• Better hertz values (doesn't irritate the eyes).

• More "smart" builtin software and firmware, with tons of bugs and security holes.

• Bigger resolution.

I'd take all of the above points except the smart TV software. To be perfectly fair I also think 4K is the absolute maximum for resolution that we need to use on TVs for like 5-10 years, too. As many people pointed out in the past in other threads here in HN, I'd love for these TVs to come in two packages -- with and without the hardware module that gives it its "smart" software.

Alas, we don't have the choice. Our best course of action is:

(1) Never give our TV access to our WiFi network.

(2) Make sure to buy an HDMI cable with lower protocol version so it doesn't pass-through your Ethernet connection.

It's a pretty screwed up market. I bet 10-20% of the price of the modern TVs comes from the supposed value proposition of the "smart" features and our group of users pays this premium without needing it.

Updated Research on Discrimination at Airbnb
The article mentions the challenges of working with a deck of 2^64 cards, but I don't see how the algorithm helps - seems like it's going to encounter the limits of double-precision values well before that. For instance, the initial setup of "qu1real":

qu1real = -nreal + 1.0 + Nreal

will behave poorly if N > 2^52 or so. The cited paper refers to this in the Appendix, mentioning that "Roughly log10(N) + 1 digits of precision will suffice", so 20 decimal digits worth versus the 15 available in doubles.
This seems exceptionally silly to me. When giving an interview, the person being interviewed expects to have their interview presented in the order the questions are asked. There's a bunch of context you lose when ignoring the order. This interface basically amplifies all the problems inherent in 'soundbites' and makes it 1000x worse.
Despite the propaganda being thrown around on HN, GDPR only affects businesses that have operations in the EU.

You don't have to work out COGS for a restaurant from first principles. Food costs are one of the most discussed and reported topics in the restaurant business, and all major food businesses optimize them.

Which means this isn't a persuasive answer to the question 'tzs asked. Lots of restaurants have low food cost. And pizza restaurants aren't the most efficient category of restaurant. Why don't the even-more-efficient kinds of restaurants deliver too, if pizza's food cost sets some kind of frontier for viable delivery?

I think factors other than food cost are at play.

If you have a site in an EU language that is spoken in other countries as well (Spanish etc) but your site doesn't have an EU domain extension and your content and services are generally not targeted at EU residents, then GDPR likely does not apply. Language isn't the only test. If you have a site in German that is reporting German news though, you're likely going to have GDPR apply to you even if you have a .com extension and are not in the EU.

Unfortunately, I must use words such as "likely" here because there is a large amount of ambiguity in these tests, along with a major conflict of interest - it will essentially be up to the would-be beneficiaries of these fines to determine whether or not you are subject to them. The EU HN crowd seems to believe that their various governments will only fine "bad" companies "reasonable" amounts under this law, and that it will not be abused to extract government revenue from foreign companies and/or hobble foreign competitors of companies in their countries. I certainly hope they are correct, but this would be the first time in the history of the world that such a broadly worded statute was not abused. The only safeguard we have is that the world is watching. If/when the EU gets too out of control in their abuse of GDPR, hopefully countries like the US will implement legislation that makes it impossible to enforce GDPR fines within their borders.

Pakistan was once considering issuing an arrest warrant for Mark Zuckerberg because someone created a Facebook contest that offended some Pakistanis [1] [2]. The case would have carried a sentence of death by stoning. Even if charges had been filed, it is doubtful that the US would have extradited him to be stoned to death under the laws of another country. While GDPR fines are civil in nature, this case underscores the importance of not necessarily allowing the enforcement of other countries' laws in your own. If GDPR enforcement becomes abusive, one would hope that similar protections would apply in our home countries.

"Condo" stands for 'condominium", i.e. the building is mutually owned.

In the UK it would be the equivalent of each flat owner owning a part of the freehold for the building. So in a condo all owners are mutually responsible for the upkeep of the building as whole.

An "apartment" is a flat, it could also be in a "condo", in theory, but is generally used to refer to rented flats.
I think Adrian’s site is a better example of how to execute this. The example interviews offer pretty minimal interaction, it’s not conversational, and random SoundCloud links are dumped in.

In the USA, I'm pretty sure that violates federal contracting rules. Maybe you ought to report them. As I understand it, they have to pay overtime if you work 48 hours in the week. The typical expectation is thus 47 hours. Perhaps you would not have been directly billed to the customer, possibly making the rules inapplicable.

Unpaid overtime is something I expect much more from employers that are not doing government work, particularly the game industry.

I've found a very different situation at a federal government contractor. Normal weeks are 40 hours, it is rare to work beyond that, and any extra work means extra pay. BTW, see my "Who is Hiring?" post if you wrote an embedded OS.
With enough effort invested, org mode would work for you as an organizational tool + a better Jupyter for code (R, SQL).

The learning curve is not really that big - you just have to accept you're going to learn using a new power tool, and be actually willing to spend more than 5 minutes on it, and occasionally open a manual or a tutorial. If you have couple of hours to spare, I recommend getting Emacs and playing a bit with Org mode. This will be enough for you to get a feel of whether you may like it or not.

(However, if most of your organization is related to your work on MS suite, I think you might be better off with One Note anyway, because of the deep integration of Microsoft tools.)

I'd love org syntax to be more widely adopted, but it probably isn't going to happen. That's because org syntax, without org mode, is just slightly better Markdown. That's not very impressive.

Org mode has so many fans because of what the implementation (i.e. org-mode in Emacs) can do with those files. It works as an awesome ASCII table editor. It works as a half-decent spreadsheet. It works as a great planner. It works as a better version of Jupyter. And couple other things.
