Do you allow for this to work both ways? For example, when the company tanks, the shareholders take the brunt of the losses, while most of the employees (at least the types of employees that are on HN) likely move on to another job at another company without much trouble...

You can't count the upsides for the shareholders without counting the downsides as well.
I think some of the general weirdness people feel around AI policing is that there are so many dumb laws on the books, and if we let robots judge, then there is no mercy. Also, everyone will be in jail because, on average, every American commits a felony every day ( because there are so many weird dumb laws ).

I think someone should make AI to refactor law code into 1/1000 its current size. There are like millions of lines of law, even for stuff like soybean farming. I'm sure a lot of that is duplicitous, redundant legal speak, not a precise computer-type language.

I was pissed for a moment.

I couldnt get my BTC during the last bull run. But I was lucky since by the time I got my account the price went from 7k to 19k.

Sold all my BCH at 3.5k/coin, and sold a half of a bitcoin at 14k.

Yeah I ended up having to pay 50 dollars in credit card interest, but I was going to be selling my BTC at 7k/coin and that was before they released BCH.
It's not so much about immediate performance, but about headroom.

The blog post https://www.techempower.com/blog/ puts it better than I:

> I argue that if you raise the framework's performance ceiling, application developers get the headroom—which is a type of luxury—to develop their application more freely (rapidly, brute-force, carefully, carelessly, or somewhere in between). In large part, they can defer the mental burden of worrying about performance, and in some cases can defer that concern forever. Developers on slower platforms often have so thoroughly internalized the limitations of their platform that they don't even recognize the resulting pathologies: Slow platforms yield premature architectural complexity as the weapons of “high-scale” such as message queues, caches, job queues, worker clusters, and beyond are introduced at load levels that simply should not warrant the complexity.

> Skype was acquired for its technology.

No, it was not. The technology was NOT worth billions of dollars.

It was bought for the existing userbase and network effects. And rumours are that also for some payment-or-something-in-kind from the NSA, which wanted it to be run by a friendlier-to-the-NSA company.

There were quite a few competitors at the time, some with comparable firewall penetration ability and call quality, which could have been bought for a fraction of the price. But none had the ubiquity, userbase or network effects of skype.
Oh come on.

You can reduce almost anything that way.

Interesting study. I do suffer GERD symptoms, but fasting hasn't seemed to have an effect on the severity of symptoms, though

I do notice particular things CAN give me GERD more often, particularly if I eat something high in sugar on an empty stomach, especially if I've had a lot of coffee that day. I need to have "real food" in my stomach before I can do candy, donuts, etc.

This is the primary reason I started skipping breakfast. I know, I know...donuts aren't an ideal breakfast, but they're hard to resist when someone brings them in the office and you don't remind yourself that you're going to suffer from heartburn all morning if you indulge.

I would like to see changes like this happen. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll see substantial changes until our healthcare system gets worse and there is collective realization that the current system is massively wasteful.

I'm skeptical that much of the current innovation matters though. If you look at where improvements in life expectancy come from it's mostly from relatively simple things: sanitation improvements, reduced childhood mortality, statins for preventing heart disease, decline of smoking over the last few decades, and wide spread vaccination. We've found most of the low hanging fruit in terms of procedures, and much of medicine has very little effect on length or quality of life.

I think the big problems in healthcare are administrative and financial rather than medical.

As far as I can tell, they offer no significant technical advantages over Git. And it doesn't make sense to leave Git just for the sake of diversity, as it's just a tool, and the fact that most developer know its basics is very useful - you don't lose much time dealing with version control training for each new project.
Honest question: Is there any reason to believe that PIA is a US intel operation vs, say a Russian one? I ask because my main privacy concern is state sponsored industrial espionage. I have often thought that if I wanted to gather kompromat on high level professionals, I would probably start an "anonymous" VPN service to further that effort. Say what you will about the NSA, but I am not worried about them in that space.
>I'm in a voluntary relationship with his company

>I'm free to find other work.

A corporation is a model of communist dictatorship. The higher-ups control the means of production, they take your labor according to your ability and give to you your need (as determined by them.) In the sense that existing in a communist dictatorship is 'voluntary' then your work for the company is voluntary. And in the sense that being able to move from one communist dictatorship to another communist dictatorship is free then you are free.

That's true, but Microsoft already does that with VSS, so that's not what is interesting about Git or GitHub.

Google keeps enhancing Chrome and where do you think http2 came from?

Heck Google created SPDY and gave to standards group who changed and then Google went and moved their SPDY to the standard.

Heck Google has over 60% of the browser market and the 2 most popular web sites in the world and easily could have kept to themselves as a competitive advantage. Most would consider that just good business.

But instead Google did the right thing while consistently MS does the wrong thing.

ERate has a 5 year cycle for rural school districts. The problem you are solving is a very real one. Also I would look to people like LightSpeed (produce Rocket appliances) for bundling. Possibly see if you can provide a "service" on Clover as well. Good luck.

I took a look at your site. I would also recommend a chrome extension with easy management in G Suite. 10k customers is one rural school district for you. Many, many of them don't do Apple but use G Suite, since it's free, along with Chromebooks.
> So they can make things convenient, or keep your data safe, but its hard to do both.

Even if your argument made sense with respect to the thing people are currently very upset about (which I disagree that it does), there is absolutely NO inherent right for FB to exist if they're unable to do both (if it's just "hard", well then get busy).

If I want to keep my data safe, they get to "inconvenience" me? That's ridiculous, if they can't keep my data safe, they don't get shit.

Of course, we were (mostly) right. But there's never a nod or h/t to acknowledge the pain and sacrifice.

I really thought that "piracy" comment was a tongue-in-cheek joke (so I had laughed and played along). I'm sorry if I had offended someone.

And a person is violator, perpetrator, unauthorized user or something like that (I'm neither a lawyer, nor a native speaker, I bet one would be able to come with lots of correct terms)

It's alertness effects go away after repeated use and subsequent tolerance building. The best way to use it is in moderation: decaf or no caffeine some days, caffeine other days when it is needed. Drinking it daily is common and often done out of liking/habit/addiction or some combination of those. However, the best positive effects will be seen with moderation.
That backblaze report is absolutely fascinating! I'm curious though what the statistics would be from a more consumer point of view, with regards to quantity of use, operational temperature and so forth. I imagine most consumer drives sit idle almost all of the time, whereas theirs are more likely in constant use.

That said, that paints a pretty handy real world picture of what one might expect.

It's interesting to see the HN reaction to this. The last time the EU fined Google a huge amount of money for anti-trust reasons the general sentiment here was that it was just socialist Europeans taxing American companies trying to make an honest living.

You're missing the metaphor by being pedantic.

I'll assume you're American (I am).

You know how in a healthy, well-led team, if your boss suggests a course of action that's wrong at a meeting and asks for feedback, you and I would pipe up and point out the issues with their approach?

In Asian cultures, my understanding is that would never happen. Instead, everyone would agree at the meeting, then feedback would be given privately to the boss if it were a major issue, and decision changed.

Which one's right? Eh, if they both result in an eventual good choice, does it matter?

If you feel strongly about "yes" being a lie, then bully to you and run with that. But that's kind of like boxing a glacier and expecting to win...
It certainly depends on who you are dealing with. It definitely isn't a cultural thing. Ethics and ethical people exist everywhere. Had it not been there wouldn't be these many tech companies or businesses in India.
Spoken like someone who's never seen a million lines of business logic in actual code.

And it develops for the same reasons: in a complex system there's going to be all sorts of weird corner cases, and some of them are bad, so you write some more code/laws to deal with those outcomes ...
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. A thousand times Yes. At least in a healthy company.

What exactly do you think separates companies like Oracle and Microsoft? Oracle has hundreds of very talented engineers. But their position in the market is stagnating.

This is hard for HN types to accept, but Engineers are not the people in software companies producing value. No individual person is producing value. Its a combination of the leadership who can lay down a plan toward something that produces value, and the line workers who can actually produce it. Both are necessary.

Here's the difference: If you need to replace an engineer, go for it. Who cares. There are millions of us. We're code-monkeys. If you need to replace a CEO, you better be careful. Github couldn't even find a good CEO, so they sold out. If you're not careful, you might get a Larry Ellison or a Marissa Meyer instead of a Satya Nadella or a Tim Cook.

Successfully leading companies legitimately requires personality characteristics that are present in less than 1% of the population. I would guarantee that if we dissected the brains of enough C-suite people from successful companies, we'd see some sort of genetic or brain matter similarities, probably something resembling sociopathism.
But it would put control into the hands of the user and open up new customer bases. I love the concept, but for me this phone is entirely useless without WhatsApp: I don't think I've sent anyone an actual text since I lived in the States three years ago.
Ahh yes. I do have some familiarity with HCC - albeit limited to a hobby project rather than anything professional. It's interesting stuff but I'd argue that's a completely different target industry to the ones that would use any of the web frameworks in the discussed referenced benchmark. So not really on point to the question raised by the GP with regards to C vs the more rapid development frameworks like node.

Not that I'm trying to dismiss your point either because if I was given a choice between node and C, I might personally choose C just because of my own personal prejudices against Javascript. :D
