Anecdotally, I've been extremely unimpressed with Google's Fi / Nexus / Pixel support.

I had a Nexus phone on Fi that -- while I was holding it in my hand texting -- it went black and never turned on again, for no reason. I assumed the battery died -- even though the UI displayed that I had most of my battery still. No, it completely bricked. Coincidentally and non-conspiratorially, it might've been ~2 weeks after my 1-year warranty expired. But after the whole iPhone planned obsolescence thing, I was skeptical.

Still, I called into Fi support. Not only were they completely unapologetic for the phone bricking, but they also had literally only one phone available for sale -- the new $700+ Pixel XL. I didn't want that phone. They offered no discount. Their answer was "you can wait a month until we get new phones". I had to buy a phone (grudgingly) from Verizon.

Overall, one of the worst experiences I've had with a Telecom company -- and it's not like I've had any experiences I would describe as "jolly".
If this is really the case, then I would say the name sucks. It's hard to know what 'Google One' means from just the name. And there is 'Android One', which is designed for low-end devices, it would really confuse people when they talk about android one, google one. I can see more people will refer it as "google one drive", and microsoft also has its "One Drive", that's even more confusing to all the average users.
I am sooo glad I've not encountered this. When I go drinking I tend to accumulate drinking buddies that are entirely outside of programming. Lawyers, skater bros, confectioners, people that know way too much about the chemistry of post it notes (true story) I love tech and all, but, when I'm out drinking its more fun asking people what they do and just getting out of the stupid tech scene in general.

Maybe I'm the weird one, I have met a couple programmers at the bar too, but its just not as fun as meeting someone whose life revolves around making chocolate for a living as an example.

If that makes me a poor cultural match, good. I can't be that insular. I don't want to join a cult when I join a job.
The first university I went to was probably suffering from all of the following:

> the number of students is actually down by 2.6 million

> they have struggled to reduce their costs

> they’ve borrowed billions of dollars to build amenities they think will attract students

After two years (2/3 of a degree in South Africa) I had been challenged by precisely one subject - all the while I was hemorrhaging money. The amenities were fantastic and I never once used them. Not realizing how the importance of a degree and anger from learning sweet nothing resulted in me leaving. It was an expensive degree printing press and nothing more.

Ten years later I need a degree to help with my visa. The experience is night and day. In a course that I just completed, I had to submit an assignment, and the feedback my lecturer provided was incredible: I honestly don't know how she finds the time of day if she's working that hard for all of her students. I walked away feeling as though I had learned something valuable, even though it is one of those general courses that you usually question why you have to take. These people seem to really care about furthering and imparting knowledge. It shows. The entire experience is streamlined around learning. You can't send your kids there (as they require a professional background), but I hope this catches on by the time my kids have to go to college.

If these behemoths want to reduce costs while attracting more students, it's all too easy; do less and focus on the product: learning. That approach saved IT/CS from ballooning costs and deadlines, and I have first-hand experience suggesting that it can also work in education.
I understood this to mean that the input would be processed in chunks of 16 (as is common with SIMD), not that the total input size was <= 16.
Consumers Skip More High-Rate Auto Payments Than During Crisis
If you would be able to set ack. freq. to 0 = no ack. needed; you would not want ordering, just like UDP but over TCP. Why would you want that you might ask, because then you can choose if you want order over the same protocol precisely for games.

We definitely want to make sure that nobody's left high and dry in any set of circumstances. Obviously, we hope to happily partner with our operators indefinitely, but we wouldn't ask someone to commit their capital and ask their customers to depend on them without having these contingencies covered. Companies have started & run ISPs before Necto (of course), but there are significant cost and knowledge hurdles that keep a lot of operators out. I think of it like with Squarespace, where the knowledge of self-hosting a website may be outsourced, but the end result is broader access to the benefits of having an internet presence.

Also, big shout out to Graham (the author of startyourownisp.com). We met, and he's super knowledgeable. I encourage anyone interested to read his guide, it's very good. We don't see our offerings as directly competitive, and share a common goal of increasing connectivity.
Google one isn't a consumer product, just a payment plan, so it seems unlikely that the support is only for "google one". Google Drive is still Google Drive, not Google One.
Thank you for posting your comment. Very insightful and packed with goodies!
To be fair, some of the graph icons make at least some sense, if you see the nodes as Git commits (three node graph - diverging commits - new branch, two node digraph - combining commits - merging - pull request).
Crooters never seem to be asking a whole lot, as they always seem to think I'm a "great fit" for any company currently waving money under their nose. Of course it usually takes some prodding to discover that the crooter actually knows nothing about my background, is ill qualified to determine who is a fit, and I wouldn't want to work for their client anyway.
So how much money do you need upfront to start an ISP?
Indeed. People tend to forget that the Middle Ages lasted for a thousand years. When all the conflicts are put together it seems there were only murderous barbarians out there trying to murder and/or rape you. But most areas were war-free most of that time. The reason that Barbara Tuchman wrote about France in the 14th century is that there happened so much.

Monty Python and The Holy Grail was not a documentary but satirised (among other things) the way the Middle Ages were depicted in movies and books.

One of the reasons we have such a bad image of that period is that the brutalities of the French Revolution needed to be justified.

"EQ and self awareness"

What a crock of sh*t!! This is what happens when you pack HR departments with humanities and gender studies majors.

Personally I do not read any resumes, all the hiring I've done was either by referral or through online websites like angelList.

This is my process:

- Check your linkedIn, look at your experience and education. Catchy schools and companies is good BUT also that you are not a branch hopper (2 months there, 3 moths here etc)

- Check your github for samples of your code and your work ethic. (If you don't know proper git branch management you are no good to us). Opensource contributions are a major +++

- Check your StackOverflow to see how good a communicator you are (best engineers are the best teachers)

- Don't bother with social media .. unless I am looking for a good excuse not to hire you.

If you don't have any of the above, I will not even spend 10 seconds on you.
according to many people - especially here on HN - any data collection is nefarious.
Accordingly to Musk the limit charge power for the Tesla in the future superchargers is around 200kw if I remember correctly.
This is half of something. Charging a car battery in 10 minutes dumps a crap-ton of heat and risks damaging the cells, lowering the useful life of the battery substantially.

Thunderbird and Apple Mail/GPGTools, two of the most popular PGP mail clients, are vulnerable. The table in the paper makes the situation look better than it is by displaying niche clients with very few users alongside the major clients that everybody uses.

Like I said upthread: the right answer (it's not even debatable; cryptography engineers deliberately design crypt constructions to have this property) is not to provide unauthenticated plaintext to callers at all. This isn't news. Whatever dumb warnings GPG prints are besides the point.
This is difficult if the input is a nonseekable stream, but that doesn't excuse producing bad output.
In one of my previous companies, they used Airflow(by airbnb) to schedule and manage workflows.
Previously they were using nothing but CRON. It turned out to be not so efficient to retry failed workflows and cancel the execution of following dependent jobs.
Airflow turned out to be a great fit for our case. I highly recommend checking it out.
I definitely think the Xbox One was hurt by having a name requiring an explanation to newcomers. Not to mention that there were a flurry of original xbox's being passed off on craigslist/ebay as "xbox 1 in like new condition!". Given the number of those listings I saw early on, I just have to think there were a few grandparents who got conned and got a bad taste from the experience. Maybe some of them just said screw it, I'll get a PS4 because I know that's the right one.

Probably just a blip of an impact overall, but greater than zero.

Yes, us head-in-the-clouds idealists with our pie-eyed demands that encrypted message protocols not leak the contents of our messages to anyone who can intercept them. What will we demand next, forward secrecy? We should climb down from our ivory towers.

AMD Announces Ryzen Mobile and Desktop PRO, Second-Gen Threadripper Sampling
I would love to see a not ads supported Google.

I am not convinced this can happen. It seems that ads is the only form of micro payment that really works at scale.

However, I love Google Products. Photos is awesome. Inbox makes my mail manageable, etc.

I am sadly probably in a minority, but I would pay a good price to have all these products without any ad targeting.
Zoho ran bundled subscription option called Zoho One (https://www.zoho.com/one/). It had reasonably good welcome. This strikes as slightly similar.
Is that more of a recommendation or a hard requirement? I've been using a bland resume that I thought would check all the boxes inside an ATS.

Yeah, a high velocity chunk of fiber can be pretty nasty too. Still, it's much easier to contain compared to a huge metal wheel, because they literally disintegrate on failure when saturated.
That's a very unusual deal. Most Google offers were (up until I think August/September 2017) structured as base + target % annual bonus + cash signing bonus with first/second paycheck (which you would need to pay back prorated if you left before a year, but this isn't a cliff) + equity with a 1 year cliff before vesting on a schedule that depended on the exact amount, but varied from annually to monthly.

This was true for new grad offers as well as for most experienced hires. I believe I've heard of different structures for cases where Google was doing essentially an equity buyout, but those were absolutely the exception, not the rule.

Are you sure you are remembering correctly?
Not just charge; charge out the ass. Just like everything else in the prison.
Nobody will look for developers with the following line in the ad:

- Must be an expert in strftime / Date / datetime

This is something everyone expects devs should know, but unfortunately working with timezones and date objects is super hard.

The example with %G is too specific for the whole problem. There are always date conversion / libraries / ISO / Locale specific / etc.. Damn it, even Apple returns specifically "PST" in their own responses ( why?! ) [1].

Everyone has a story with manipulating date / time and that's already a sign how bad the situation is.

Trying to be positive ( and funny ), I hope there will be some big and great conference in around 1747247444 [2], where the United Nations' computer department decides that it's too stupid to have so many rules for measuring time and sets a unified standard with no DST, leap years, etc.

imho, creating new data sucking pipelines (no matter whether for advertising or model training) under the guise of a consumer service is at least slightly nefarious.
That's why I didn't suggest it, but to be fair, you could tee the stream into an intermediate file for a two-pass scheme.

Show HN: Firebase Continue – Cross-Platform Apple Handoff-Like Library
That's the issue here, you don't have any experience with it. Like most features in Docker, this one doesn't work as advertised.
Very interesting.

Oversimplifying and ignoring a lot of important details, the key idea proposed by the authors is that the brain's phasic dopamine system is a model-free reinforcement-learning system that learns to train the prefrontal cortex as a more efficient model-based reinforcement-learning sytem -- a form of meta-learning which the authors accurately refer to as meta-reinforcement learning.

The "Results" section provides compelling evidence that the authors might be on to something. The authors show and discuss the outcomes of six different kinds of computer experiments in which a (relatively simple) meta-reinforcement learning software system is shown to learn and behave in qualitatively similar ways as, for example, monkeys and rats in equivalent lab experiments.

I'm still digesting the implications.

Highly recommended reading.
Uber doubles down on partnership with NASA for flying taxi service
From the 2013 Quakecon keynote (The somewhat famous "Carmack uses Haskell" one):

"The rocketry has always been a negotiation with my wife, understandably so, where. She has always insisted I not be one of those celebrities that squanders all of their fortune being high on the hill and then being penniless some day, so, rocketry has always had this carved out area, where, "this is John's crazy money" while "All of this is to make sure the family is well taken care of and John's not going to be begging for work some time." But I basically expended my crazy money on Armadillo. So I don't expect to see any rockets in the real near future."

>how many more stupid native apps must I install to get basic textual and photo information?

You're conflating the web with web apps. Those are two separate things.

If web apps are to be the future, bloating up the browser to the size of an OS to get native-app level functionality sounds like a dystopian future to me. I don't want my browser to access my GPU, I don't want by browser leaking my LAN IP, I don't want my browser communicating with USB devices on my machine, etc, etc...

Also, nobody (yet) has been able to create a GUI/Client App standard for cross-platform delivery that performs well across different hardware architectures and operating systems which are designed and optimized for completely different things. That makes sense because the "one size fits all" way of doing things is terrible for performance among other things.

>The only right answer is universal apps(the web).

The only "right" answer is that we should tolerate specific web apps only when the benefits outweigh the costs.
Of all people, Hitler himself complained that he was being denied free speech.

There's a reason why free speech does not apply to fascist movements in most countries and it's illegal to use its symbols: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

Also, equating authoritarian systems with an anti-authoritarian movement literally named "anti-fascist action" is a bit ridicolous.
At LinkedIn we heavily use Azkaban for this. (Open source: https://azkaban.github.io/)

Excuse me, are you paying the recruiter to find you a job? No? Then, as they say, you're not the customer; you're the product.
Lots of impressions, very few conversions.
Great to hear. A rising tide lifts all boats. Appreciate the reply.

You can already pay for that for Gmail. You have been able to for years.

Oceans are big and mysterious, but land is right here and if you go to just about any forest from California to Vermont, you'll stumble on human garbage about roughly every thirty steps. Cans, bags, shotgun shells, shoes, buckets, really just about anything. And same for inland waterways. And yet besides Earth Day, it doesn't get cleaned up. I put fault on the abstract environmentalism we practice. This is easily done with cheap resources, yet so much is spent on meetings, treaties, awareness and education, science and studies, etc.

Edit: To make things less abstract, I now tend to bring a plastic bag on walks in the woods to collect the litter.
Just a recommendation. TeX is a very engineer-oriented design tool. An interesting way to spruce up your resume.
Well, this joke is going around in devs' communities, but in fact never happened to me, at least not in last few years.

Although I have met a few of fellow techies, totally sure that no first-line recruiter is able to grasp basic IT knowledge.

I totally agree. Speaking of the French revolution, have a look at this:

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/396...
If someone has insight into recruiting, can you explain why contacts sound like sales pitches with vague language?

“You’ll work with the core of our digital strategy”

“You’ll work close to the systems”

“You’ll have a central role”

What systems? What is the company even doing? What about fundamental things like

- where is this?

- exactly what is the work I’m supposed to be doing here?

- What’s the team? 4 beginners? 4000 experienced devs?

- What tech is used, ie what is it about my skill set that makes me a good fit?

These questions are literally never answered in first contacts from recruiters. And of course I’m not willing to compose a response or have even a 15 minute phone conversation or a lunch meeting with a recruiter for a job that might turn out to be in the wrong city.

Is this some secret to the recruiting industry that it’s bad to give away details in the initial contact, so that the candidate doesn’t just apply directly to the company? Or do I have to high expectations on these contacts? Or do I have unusual bad luck with terrible recruiters.

This is obviously the opposite of what recruiters want from candidates, it’s what candidates want from recruiters. But seeing as there is obviously a gap there - does anyone have any insight in this?
Hackers like George Hotz can and have decided to equip their cars with AI.[1] Again, how is this any different?

People are hacking on everything from micro-drones to full sized cars. Why single out this platform? Explosive on drones or automated weapons on cars could all be misused.
The average person is applying to more colleges, but the total number of people attending college is decreasing. Therefore each college can promote that they received more applications than the previous year. People don't typically attend more than one college simultaneously.

ex: 20 people applying to 3 colleges each, vs 10 people applying to 10 colleges each.
They’re busy people and in many cases very influential (and probably also wealthy), but famous people are still people at the end of the day. As a fan of few people in this world, when I do get the chance to meet them, I try to approach them as a human first and a famous person second. Another way to look at that is: great every stranger you’d like to make a connection with with the same respect you’d treat your heroes. If you go up to them and start freaking out because you’re actually talking to them...how do you think that feels for them?

I’ve always thought that it wouldn’t be that fulfilling to be famous, because you’d lose the opportunity to do things like go out to a normal restaurant with your family and have dinner without people acting weird around you constantly. Paparazzi are one thing, fans and stalkers another.

TL;DR don’t be the person who makes being famous suck, and you’ll probably get a lot more out of having an interesting conversation with someone you look up to vs just getting an autograph.
In the past hover text helped to fill in the knowledge gaps when met with unfamiliar or ambiguous icons. On mobile and other touch devices, where there is no mouse, this breaks down. We could do with some kind of replacement for hover text on touch UIs, maybe a return of the "What's this?" question mark button Windows used to have.
Not really. Tech is still very young. The home PC as a popular item is only around 30-40 years old depending on your criteria. Most of these guys are still around and active. I mean, you can email Vint Cerf today or read endless books about Apple, Woz, etc. You can tweet Bill Gates, etc.

The dead in this industry are the super old timers, many of whom you really never hear about, or the unfortunate souls who passed away relatively young. Jobs was only 56 when he passed away.
Telling someone who expresses suicidal feelings to "get a grip", and using the J-word ("just") to tell them a supposedly easy way out of it, is cruelty. I'm sure that you don't mean to be cruel, so please don't do this.

If there were an easy way out, the commenter would have found it. What he or she needs is respect, empathy, and support for finding a not-so-easy way out of it. If you can't do that, please don't reply, regardless of how annoying you find the comments.
It's probably reactive: "Prime" -> "One".
