The incentives are aligned that way if you make certain assumptions that laymen make often, but they aren't that way in real life despite the fact that arbitration is VERY established. Your narrative is built on a bad understanding of the industry (and not comparing it with a real alternative, which has lots of problems of its own).
Nevermind thinking ahead!
This is as much about designers and egoists jerking themselves off in the service of a new 'corporate identity' as it is about a meaningful evolution in image.
I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. I think what you're saying is pretty reasonable, and I definitely agree about some of the benefits of drones. I'm not sure how effective killing terrorists actually is given that our ostensible ally in the region, Saudi Arabia, appears to tacitly support a lot of the Islamic fundamentalism that gives rise to these extremists. I think a big issue that no one knows how to address is how to combat a religious ideology that does not admit the possibility of making any compromises.
To counter those objecting to your statement of "Of course, a lot is asked of engineers during crunch time, but that's the same way everywhere in the industry":

Everyone likes to pick those nits. I also work in the retail org at Amazon and have only had a crunch time twice in the almost 11 years I've been here (and it lasted two to three weeks both times). Software is hard and planning its implementation and development is hard. Get over yourselves and accept occasional imperfections in the process. (If they are _not_ occasional in your work environment, consider that a suggestion that you get out--Amazon or otherwise).

Anyone saying Amazon is uniformly this or uniformly that is as full of shit as anyone saying it about any other company.

People who read these threads and decide "well, now that I've seen this, there's no way I'd work for Amazon" are doing themselves a disservice, just as much as if they substituted any other company for "Amazon". Collect your data; talk to people that work there--you will get a variety of opinions. Bash-posts on HN and Reddit suffer from severe confirmation bias.

People that like working at Amazon and have had an overwhelmingly positive experience (like me), often don't wade into these threads because separating their signal from noise is really tedious and we have other more fun things to be doing.

I completely agree.

However, crypto doesn't abide by warrants. So many people read into my comment thinking that I'm supporting a surveillance state. I am not. I simply am talking about how it is, indeed, complicated.

Crypto doesn't care about warrants. The problem is complicated.

The fact that you can even talk about warrants in a crypto conversation sort of irks me to be honest. Warrants are meaningless in crypto conversations. Not just meaningless, but incompatible.

Don't argue points I'm not trying to make please. I'd delete my original comment if I could -_-
I never used anything close to "cannot possibly". I said I could not understand. I used the words "why" and "I wonder". It's very clear. It's not ambiguous. But you seem very attached to your tribe theory, so you want my past comment to fit your present view.

And it's a very conflicting view of the word too. Do you see us as enemies as well ?

In which case, you win this argument. I don't want my tribe to fight yours.

Seriously, the only way this sport could be more Russian would be if they somehow added a vodka-drinking contest round.
> I enjoy great wine and it seldom costs more than $8 a bottle.

You can definitely get really good wine cheap. But! Sometimes it's worth it to bump up.

I drink a lot of whites these days because my wife can't tolerate red. I find that there is a sweet spot at about $25 (NYC retail prices) for whites that are noticeably better than cheaper ones -- French whites like Sancerre, decent Chablis, the less fancy Bourgognes; what I think of as new-style California Chardonnays (not oaky, more like French Chards).

Then there's another sweet spot for whites at about $40, which includes some of my favorite bottles ever, which can change your idea about what good wine can taste like, if you don't usually "go there" pricewise.. I'll call out specifically the Alma Fria and Division Chardonnays, both from California, and in general a $40 bottle of Bourgogne will be very special.

I also love natural (spontaneously fermented) wines as discussed in the article, but that's a whole different drinking experience, more like kombucha in a lot of ways than conventional wine.
I like a good pilsner, but I really love the cloudy sour beers more than any other style.
> the difference (and ability to describe the difference) between a Sauvingon Blanc and Chardonnay isn't difficult. I think anyone off the street can taste the difference between a chocolate stout, a hefeweizen and a pale lager.

I'd like to observe that when you wanted to claim that wines were indistinguishable, you picked two wines that were quite similar. When you wanted to claim beers were distinguishable, you picked chocolate stout vs hefeweizen, which is clearly not the same sort of example.
CPU presently.

The filter expressions are based on the Wireshark Display Filters https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html_chunked/ChWorkBuild... and we support everything except the slice operator.

Rust handles the parsing, validation, AST creation, etc. That AST can then be applied to a trait table similar to the Wireshark implementation but without the necessity of a pcap step.

I hope that the filter becomes an invariant form of filter against traffic and that once we've got the AST we can apply that filter to different places. Initially just to itself within a Rust matching engine at the edge, but if you have columns on a DB why not ask for a SQL expression derived from the filter expression and then filter a ClickHouse store using the same filter, and likewise as per your suggestion if we can take some of the expressions that aren't L7 why can't we have these run in the network card, etc.

Right now... just CPU as it is early days. But eventually we can look at all places we match traffic and consider that a contender for the same filter to be applied there.
Not just proportional fonts. We're using formats where white space isn't significant.

Using two spaces after a period makes sense if you are using a typewriter. It's nonsense if you don't even own a typewriter.

In that case Miller, Coors, Budweiser, and friends are also all "hoaxes."
In the UK a standard wine attracts duty of £2.17+20% vat (from memory). Then there is the vat on the price of the wine itself. Consider the cost of the bottle and shipping from France and you will see that the wine in a cheap say £6.99 bottle is worth less than 1 euro!!!! In a £12 bottle the wine itself could be worth 5 times as much! A classic fixed vs variable cost problem. Then take a £24 bottle, the wine itself is only around 2 times more expensive. So yes there can be a real sweet spot (in the UK £12-15). I don't know anything about US taxes to translate, but the point is still valid.
cache-control doesn't completely replace Expires for some use cases.

If you have a scheduled task that generates data every hour, you can set Expires accordingly so all clients will refresh the data as soon as the hour rolls over.

You can do this using max-age but then you have to dynamically calculate this header per request which means you can't do things like upload your data to s3 and set the cache-control header on it.

With expires, I can upload a file to s3 and set

Expires: ... 17:00

and then not have to touch it again for an hour.

you can work around this client side with per hour filenames or the other usual cache busting tricks, but that's annoying.

If you're ever passing through the California central coast area, I absolutely recommend a stop at the Firestone Walker Barrelworks in Buellton.

Back in the 80's, I wrote a letter to their documentation department asking how much certain manuals were (I was a fan). I got a box of manuals in the mail instead of a price list. They sent the references for both the 68000 and 6809. It was funny when I got to college and one of the EE courses involved programming of a 6809. Its a true shame their isn't a 64-bit 68000 as it is such a nicer processor than the x86.
I've switched to Fractal Design cases with their heavy sound-proofing and been thoroughly impressed. I use Corsair RM750 which never powers its fan on, and I used to have a all-in-one water cooler for the CPU, but I moved to a Noctua design with a large 140mm fan. The water cooler had a 120mm fan that I replaced with a 120mm Noctua--but it was too close to the rear vent of the case, and thus noisy.

However my graphics card (RX 480) is quite loud, and one bearing is making noises.

But the Fractal Design case has really dampened the sound. For my home server, it's using a RM500 (which also never turns the fan on), and a low-profile Noctua CPU cooler. No other fans, but I do hear the 6 HDDs spinning and seeking when it's real quiet in the room.

I don't hear any coil whine, except when using headphones plugged into my desktop's speakers--probably the result of the speaker system's power supply. Klipsch ProMedia, if you're curious.

Yes, that is a great book as well.

Yes, might be the case. We went for next.js, I feel that right now, you should not really write your own babel/webpack config, it's probably simpler to go for an existing framework and accept its limitations, that go full custom. It makes things complicated. Yes, not using your favourite router/your css processor is sad, but I start to think that they're not worth it. And the frameworks are moving to be more customisable.
No, writing a math textbook involves (perhaps) thousands of things that might be wrong, none of which will have any impact on one another.

Our local (Lansing) paper has a full section on national news and another on sports which are both dated and stale. Add in another section of USA Today which is both dated and stale.

I want just local news. In depth pieces on sports that go beyond the score. Our excellent minor league baseball team, the Lugnuts, isn't covered by our paper at all!

Add in investigative journalists covering politics and local university. Heck the biggest story at the university in fifty years was broken by the Indianapolis paper hundreds of miles away.

I think if the paper did all those things and updated the mobile app more than once every three days they could triple the number of subscribers.

This was the policy when I worked at Rackspace circa 2001-2004, they would only confirm employment.

In the bay area, I often can't even confirm employment because the company has gone out of business, my manager was fired after I voluntarily left, etc...

Literally everything about this story raises the hairs on the back of my neck except for giving false contact info for a manager the recruiter knew by name - esp the, "trust your gut", stuff, which is basically saying:

Embrace your implicit bias.

I have managers who I can't get in touch with, one of whom I've had to tell several recruiters, "This dude wouldn't take my calls when I worked for him, he pretty much just ignores everyone." In those cases, however, I do my best to do a LinkedIn connect and provide a company email.

"Feel free to contact jackass@shittycompany.com and see if you have better luck than I do."

Just because you are (MAYBE) a manager who cares enough to give references, don't assume anyone else is. Many of my past managers are pissed that I bailed on them, because they were shitty managers, but I have 20y in the industry and in many cases that meant more than them.

It's a tough game to play when you don't want to be a manager, yourself.
Hm, almost a dumb terminal!
Good. Two spaces forever.

Abbreviations have always been my sticking point.

eg: A list of this, that, etc. conflicts with the end of sentence.

Two spaces here is unambiguous. When I typed this on mobile, the parser did not understand "etc." was not end of sentence when it could have by looking for two spaces. Because of that, it shifted incorrectly into caps mode, producing "Was" instead of "was" as would be indicated for a word mid-sentence.

The result is a lot more input being required to complete the sentence properly.

There is an interesting comparison with what could have been. When I moved to New Zealand in the early 2000s, Internet access was worse than in Australia.

“Broadband” was 256kbps ADSL at best, insanely expensive, with punitive data caps, and the monopoly telco had no interest in investing to increase service or drop prices. There were other ISPs but they had a hard time competing due to underhanded tactics by the monopolist as well as having to build out their own infrastructure entirely whereas the monopoly had inherited all its infrastructure from the taxpayer built state owned company that was privatised for a song.

Around 2007, the government removed this monopoly power and broke up the company into infrastructure and service companies, with the infrastructure company having to provide equal access to any ISPs.

Then the initiative to build fibre to the home started in 2008. Luckily, the government of the day did not compromise on the technical approach and it remained fibre to the home, not the node.

Roll forward to today, and I have gigabit fibre to my home, with no data caps, for a decent price.

There’s still a fair bit of build out to happen but the option now exists for people in most urban areas.
Yes, depending on how well it seals. Usually there's a hole in the back for HID cables, and the front has rubber feet to prevent door slamming that also offsets the door. This allows heat to flow out.
Seems like it's the same for .eu domains, and (I think) some other EU countries. For private persons you only see the email, and that's after entering the captcha.
Here's some old but interesting discussion about NeFS that I saved from Comp.protocols.NFS. (they were SHOCKED I say SHOCKED!!!)

http://donhopkins.com/home/archive/NeWS/Comp.protocols.nfs.N...

From: brent@terra.Sun.COM (Brent Callaghan)
Newsgroups: comp.protocols.nfs
Subject: NeFS Protocol Spec Available
Keywords: NFS version 3
Date: 13 Feb 90 01:57:31 GMT

NeFS is not NFS. It started out as an NFS protocol rev
(NFS version 3) but its protocol is a radical departure
from the NFS's remote procedure call model. In order
to avoid confusion with NFS we're calling it NeFS for
now - Network Extensible File System (the similarity of
the name to a window system protocol is entirely intentional).

A draft spec for this new protocol is available via anonymous
FTP from titan.rice.edu (128.42.1.30) as

/public/nefs.doc.ps

The file is ~250K of PostScript. It prints 52 pages.
The spec is not available in any other format.

Comments, suggestions, flames etc are welcomed. Direct them
to "nfs3@sun.COM".

Organization: Center for Chaotic Repeatabilty

Dave Clark, Internet Architect, just gave a talk here at Bellcore and
he was lobbying for exactly the kind of approach being proposed by the
new NeFS protocol - don't send packets, send programs!

I do recommend you read the NeFS document and think about it hard
before you jump to any conclusions. The proposed model is novel, and
goes a long way toward moving us to "action at a distance" instead of
"remoting local operations." This turns out to be vitally important if
networks are to scale with latency, since, as Dave Clark so eloquently
showed, for large networks (ie, country-sized), as bandwidth goes to
infinity latency goes to 30milliseconds, and you can't do anything
about that, because you can't change the speed of light. So, to do
very well in the face of that, you must avoid round-trip delays like
the plague. Sending a program to the server can save many round-trips
for many operations.

Anyway, it is interesting reading. Particularly in light of Dave
Clark's talk.

For wine at least, any sommelier at a high-end restaurant has been through a course that you don't pass until you can perceive them. I know a couple of people who have been through it, it's for real. They teach very specific sensory cues and you practice a lot. There are certainly wines that can confuse even a trained person but for the most part it's not magic.
So nobody here sees nothing wrong trying to hit somebody as hard as you can in their face? And encouraging the youth to be good at it?

Personally when I see a boxing match and see somebody hit in the face it hurts me. I think that's called empathy. Getting used to boxing means you get used to seeing violence and it doesn't hurt so much any more. Then when the moment comes for you to hit someone in the face I guess it just feels like good sport. No?

And while yes, you should, multiple different pathways to reducing your fomite exposure are better than relying on a single point of failure.
One sometimes-unfortunate thing about the Internet and global accessibility to other peoples' opinions is that it's easy to find other people "just like you". This leads to a signal amplification that doesn't necessarily mean the problem is as bad or as far-reaching as the group would have you think. It certainly can be, but concluding that from a limited news sources with unspoken agendas isn't accurate. We can all get in a huddle and complain about things, but there is a non-small number of people who just ignore it--even though they would have a positive counter-argument to offer--and instead go on about their business because they don't want to get involved.

Remember that when you're reading the news (here or elsewhere, since rarely is news generated on HN) you and your outrage are being used for marketing (and possibly furthering some other agenda).

I agree with your closing sentence about being data driven and thinking about it--getting out of the news bubble and using your own brain to analyze something is good.
