I think you are going about this all the wrong way. You seem to think that most people who use positive words are just putting up a facade and using these words for the sake of using them.

Consider the co-worker who acknowledges hard work you do, and appreciates you for your effort. This acknowledgement gives this you a sense of accomplishment, which in turn makes you feel happier and better.

Consider the neighbor who offers help when he notices you have a problem with your car, or gives you advice that helps you solve your problem easier.

Consider the person who recognizes that you have a disability or health defect, and chooses to help you and provide you with positive reinforcement to help you focus on progress and feel better about your situation.

I think the article, and the notion of "positive people," is more than just throwing a word around. It's about people who add weight and meaning to their words through thoughtful consideration and genuine compassion.

Stocks are volatile. But if you're investing for the long term it doesn't matter.

Just stick your money in Vanguard index funds and forget about it apart from rebalancing once a year.
Seriously, the more interesting news was the irrational exuberance leading up to today.
I’ve know the CEO of a Tiny-affiliated company for a few years and consider him a friend. In a previous role, we had a very close partnership with the company. I also worked at the company, albeit only for a few months in a leadership role.

Andrew and the rest of the Tiny crew seem to do a great job of standing behind what they say, from my limited experience.
Between Zillow and Trulia, I'm seeing ~60 units in that price range in LA on ~8,000 listings (assuming no duplication). Hitting Craigslist, where I'd expect most of them are, I'm seeing ~100 within 8 miles of central LA. Most of them look like spare rooms.

The census tells me there are ~800,000 people in LA at or around the poverty line. The LA times tells me there are ~50,000 homeless people wondering around.

Now, I don't live anywhere near LA, but the base numbers here make me think that when people say there's a major housing problem, they're telling the truth.

Again, this is just to my satisfaction, but I have looked a little more than just relying on anecdotes.
I was joking to myself earlier today that "All you gotta do is..." is an alias for "I have not thought about it, and I'm encouraging you to do the same."
>but India has the second largest English speaking population in the world.

irrelevant when that equates to 10% of the population.
Your mom is still right. Clothes are usually easier to get and cheaper in person.

The thing that online wins for is specific items. For me shoes have to be bought online because I wear a 14, which stores do not stock.
Would Alibaba actually ship anything close to 1 billion packages. Most listings I see on Alibaba are 3rd party.
You can always just give up on their UI. I've seen my friends open their phones to search for a show to watch instead of using the Netflix UI to find something. There are multiple sites with listings, which suggests this is a fairly common practice.
The parent says that Netflix costs ₹500/mo in India, or $9.60 in Canadian dollars, which is almost exactly the price it costs in Canada. I wonder if Netflix prices their plans at approximately the same price worldwide to prevent arbitrage since people living in expensive countries could subscribe in cheap countries. (Netflix allows you to use your subscription worldwide when you're traveling -- so people could claim to be traveling.)
Technology fads are often about momentum. [Thing X] is created and suddenly it is supposed to solve all problems. Or it unlocks a new way of operating that suddenly everyone is jumping into.

Focus on learning the scope of [Thing X]. What problems does it solve? What problems does it create? Try to form a mental map where [X] would be clearly necessary, and areas where [X] would be a total disaster. Very few trends are objectively bad, but they are often overapplied. Be aware that there are 'professionals' who simply want to put [X] experience on their resume, and don't really care if it fits the project.

If you believe that [X] is a bad choice, you shouldn't directly criticize [X], but rather you should state your case affirmatively for alternatives.

Bad: "Cloud computing costs too much and doesn't work well. I get the shakes if I can't touch my server! Harrumph!"

Good: "Cloud is a good option when our needs are flexible but low on average. Right now we have high baseline utilization and we don't need the whole AWS ecosystem yet. Let's see how far we can get with a few VPSs before we add the AWS layer on top of it."
Something "worth many millions of dollars" will most certainly be kept very quiet by the repair industry, since it can provide recurring revenue (until someone else discovers and reports it to Apple) to an otherwise extremely repair-hostile ecosystem. Bug bounties are a one-time deal that otherwise gives no advantage to the reporter, but unlocking services are not. These people are certainly not looking for a pat on the back from Apple or wanting to make its devices more difficult to repair.
I was in the exact same boat - ex Amazon intern, felt I was a pretty solid engineer, but didn't quite nail the FB interview. Ended up joining Amazon because I was sick of interviewing.

Let me tell you: it will be OK, and the other posts about making the best of your situation are true. Amazon is an incredible learning opportunity if you stay open to it. I'm still working there a year later and I'm building far higher impact projects than my friends at Goog and FB because like another poster said, Amazon lets SDE1s work on just about everything. The growth potential is tremendous if you show you're competent and willing to learn.

Chin up, you're in a good position :)
The article explicitly says that port is gone.
It means that it has history attached to it and that it's traveled in time. Humans will most certainly not abandon things of affectional value our lives and most value in life is built up around that.

Why do you think you have different levels of friends? History is very important to us.
I have noticed lately that the "Are you still there" message has gone away. While it is nice when you are awake, it sucks when you fall asleep and wake up on season 6 of something when last you knew you were on season 2. Then you have to figure out exactly what episode you fell asleep on, not impossible but can be a pain.
> Pouring £2bn into a fighter in 2018 seems like a completely political move, a Brexit bluff and mere posturing from Theresa May.

That is exactly what it sounds like to me. Some general handwaving about as-yet to be invented or developed technology, references to the glorious past, a dig about Germany and France excluding the UK from a current project, and a non-functioning mock-up of what it could possibly look like. But other countries are welcome to join the effort.
Whilst vigorously pointing at all that smoke and mirrors, mentioning that what they are really going to be doing is a series of upgrades to the Typhoon (that they would have planned for years ago already).

This is Brexit politics.
As I read this comment, my mouse and keyboard stopped working (MacBook Pro 15" 2018) because they can only connect to my laptop via USB-C (required a reboot)

Saying there are no driver issues cannot be true, just by googling for cases under support.apple.com
It's true. Go check their Blind's, or talk to some employees that have been there a few years.
Gullibility has little to do with 'education level'.
The historical term is forecast. Catching a ball is enough evidence the ability exists. I agree, it’s important to not overstate the possibility, but it’s not nothing.
Thats what I came to see. Until I see this I call bullshit on the entire thing and seriously question the objectivity of those that push this theory. And thats not me being partisan thats just me being annoyed at the lack of real evidence being presented here.
I'm allergic to ibuprofen (immediate headache, nausea, and vomiting). If I try again the next day my stomach burns and I feel like acid is pouring inside my body. Every doctor, nurse, or hospital to whom I tell that act surprised, as if something is wrong with me. Aspirin is fine.

Am I alone?
I live in Bangalore and I feel I have no time to watch a "serious" show like sacred games or altered carbon. You really have to sit down and pay 100% attention to the show to fully understand what's going on. Contrast that to general Indian TV where I can take a pee break and come back and still understand everything. I didn't renew my prime and netflix subscription last month.
Xoogler here; this information is circa 2015.

The infamous perks are low-order bits for personal productivity. For example, on-site food is nice, but making it free actually hurts productivity: larger crowds so you spend more time waiting, you are more likely to travel between different cafes just to sample things, etc.

However company-wide these are much more valuable because they improve recruiting and especially retention. Nothing hurts productivity like employee turnover! This is why they are a smart investment for the company.

As for personal productivity, these were the biggest perks:

1. The shuttle. This gave me effectively two additional hours working instead of driving.

2. Fast hardware. I had a 64 GB Mac Pro, plus laptops and dev servers. Sweet!

But there were also "anti-perks" that hurt my productivity:

1. Cramped and ghastly loud open office (building 40). It was difficult to focus.

2. Insufficient physical space. My job required wiring up a lot of PCBs and prototype hardware, but I had the same desk as someone just writing code. I had to "swap" my physical setups.

3. Highly distributed team. Having key team members in Asia meant ~16 hour cycle time for questions, code review, etc. (Plus expect to spend a portion of each meeting fighting with VC.)

However if we take productivity as literally "producing valuable things" and not false metrics like LOC or bug fix count, then IMO these were the highest company-wide productivity killers:

1. Leadership churn, leading to project churn and cancellation. Not the healthy reevaluation of underperforming projects, but rather arbitrary "make a mark" changes associated with new directors/VPs.

2. Performance review over-weighting "creating something new" leading to unnecessary duplication. A Googler who creates a (say) new build system excels the one who adapts an existing build system. This is visible all the way to the product level, e.g. their many chat apps.
Seriously why can't hackernews provide me with some examples. This is the most meticulous community i've ever seen.
Interesting that now we transfer this prediction capability onto machines
Of the languages on this list, here are the subset where non-native (L2) speakers outnumber native (L1) speakers by a factor of two or more:

- English (378m L1, 744m L2)

- French (77m L1, 208m L2)

- Malay (77m L1, 204m L2)

- Swahili (16m L1, 82m L2)

- Thai (21m L1, 40m L2)

Technically Thai isn't quite 2x, but the error bars on these numbers are generally big.

Some languages have an opposite distribution, where nearly all of the language's speakers are L1 speakers. Bengali, Japanese, Portuguese, and Wu/Shanghainese are in this category, as well as perhaps Spanish (only ~14% of speakers are L2, which surprised me). Many others fall somewhere in between.

This would make an interesting data visualization.
Currently I get my best work done in a cafe. Usually, without using headphones. There is the usual cafe background noises.

I find it hard to work from my small apartment, whether family is around or not, music or no music.

I forget the term but I think it has to do with the fact that I use this same room to watch TV, play video games, sleep, and eat meals. My desk and bed are only inches apart.
50 is when it starts to get significantly harder to get into Canada, IIRC.

I don't know how he would feel about moving. The professional background would be a big plus in an application for residency. But, unless he has investor class savings, he'd be looking at continuing to work, probably at lower pay.

But... it would solve the health insurance problem. (So would parts of Europe.)

Probably better for him to stay, and stay at 40 hours a week. Maybe a consulting sideline, if his circumstances allow.

Which reminds me; for some professional categories, there's pretty good group insurance through professional organizations. Or so I hear, while I've yet to find something like that for myself.

By the way, corporate America was crying out for something to be done, when the ACA was proposed and written. Businesses were facing double digit percentage year over year increases, and were saying 'we can't continue to compete particularly with foreign competition that doesn't have these levels of expense -- neither absolute nor yearly increases'.

I view it as a very middle of the road proposal. It kept the existing insurance and provider structures and worked to increase the customer base. It also had provisions for getting over the "hump" period where previously uninsured were incorporated, caught up on deferred care, and during which insurers' actuaries would have a chance to determine and model the new population.

Reflecting Obama's rhetoric leading into his first term, it was designed to bring people together. And it was also successful in measures that don't get as much credit. For example, it really did provide some significant cost controls for group insurance. One reason the hue and cry from employers died down.

But it was deliberately sabotaged -- rather than improved --
with the goal of turning it into political fodder by a party whose leadership put itself before all else.

I think I agree with you, that employer-provided group insurance has become quite anti-competitive.
I don’t think they’re replacing their content on purpose, they have no choice. Around ten years ago when Netflix streaming started to take off studios thought they were taking Netflix for a ride, selling new-fangled “streaming” rights for old catalogue films that otherwise weren’t making much money. Now the game has changed and Netflix effectively can’t afford to renew these contracts, so little by little the stuff people actually know and love is leaving the service. To Netflix’s credit, they started trying to make their own content, but for every hit there’s about twenty misses. And frankly, even if everything they made turned to gold they still wouldn’t have age-old classics that everyone still wants to see.

I actually think they’re going to be in a lot of trouble a few years down the line as their catalog is going to be a handful of great originals, tons of garbage originals, and a bottomless pit of Z-grade studio films.
Can you explain why it's irrelevant? It's unclear to me how market size is impacted by the fact that there is a larger pool of people that aren't in the market.
That 6th gen bug completely put me off buying one. There's no reason for a bug that big to ship.

Bought a pixelbook instead and haven't looked back. It has an extra port (can charge and still have a free port). The keys actually travel. It has a decent touchscreen and (to my surprise) a better touchpad than my macbook pro had. General build quality is probably better too. Despite the extra features, the pixelbook is slightly cheaper.

Android apps work great. There's crouton for a full-blown linux dev environment (Crostini generally works well for me, but VPN isn't working yet). If rumors are true, windows support is coming too.
100% on the bilingual thing. For my family and I, it's kinda awkward - weird localization failure for such a large corp. Not to mention completely botched translations like the title of Money Heist (actually called The Paper House), which is the dumbest name I've ever seen.
Adding my own anecdote:

I cancelled Netflix a while ago, I hadn't been watching it for a while but assumed the rest of my family was. Eventually got around to asking them and it turned out they hadn't used it in a while either. Turns out we all just kinda lost interest. I remember when streaming first came out I was excited to "see what's on streaming," it felt like so much content to explore. Then it gradually became: "let's see if I can find something tolerable on Netflix before I go to bed." So many nights I started 5 different things, giving up on each to start something new, before I eventually just gave up on Netflix all together and went to sleep.

Part of the problem, was that their content came to all feel bland in the same way to me. But I also think they slowly broke my media consumption habits. I remember the days of Blockbuster when you had to pick one movie, and then you were committed. Which meant I almost always finished the movies. Many times I'd watch them twice. Netflix creates this persistent FOMO over what you could be watching. Eventually, I just stopped watching anything.

It is not illegal for corporations to donate to political campaigns. It's also not illegal for corporations and lobbyists to offer jobs, to politicians after they retire from congress. Howard dean once a politician is now a lobbyist.

See: https://act.represent.us/sign/the-problem/

Corruption in America is perfectly legal, and the 1% carry a much larger voice than the bottom 90%, if politicians did what voters wanted it'd be a different story, see the video on that link for evidence that politicians vote 0% of the time with what the people want, and follow a more normal curve with the elites/corporations.

Money shouldn't = speech. This gives certain people more access to free speech, tips the tables, makes the country an oligarchy not a republic or democracy.

Imagine if all federal offices gave each person running $1 million dollars. Media stations gave each person 30 minutes/month during primaries and general elections for ads. No donations were allowed from corporations, and nothing from an individual exceeding 1000.

Imagine if lobbying were completely illegal. The anti-corruption laws (see represent.us link above) would fix this. It's a bi-partisan movement to fix corruption on BOTH sides of the aisle.
My girlfriend and I use Netflix to watch Star Trek, Chinese movies, and Indian/Bollywood films. That's it. Honestly the UX has been steadily getting better from my perspective and the film selection now is way beyond where it was ~3 years ago. Maybe I'm an outlier? It didn't occur to me that it might be an unpopular opinion to say that Netflix is actually good
Well, yes, there's that. I assume you'd have to get one pulled from a busted machine on eBay.
Exact same thing happened to me and it was the last time I ever use Dropbox. Product experience was a barrage of growth hacking

I can imagine their investor deck. “62% of people are total chumps, that’s our target market”
I've realized the same. I'm always surprised they are part of the FAANG stocks given how little they have control they have over their catalog.
Stop beating your wife with switches smaller than your thumbs. Both of you. /s

Also. Kind of going to back the complaint being reasonable side of things. In Quality Management, it is more important that the signal is raised, recorded, and put in a pipeline to be dealt with, than to encourage only raising the signal when a possible solution is in hand.

On the other hand, yes, in general, when expressing cross-departmental complaints, come with a suggestion or offer of help to solve the problem in hand. If nothing else, it builds bridges, goodwill, and shows you care about making their lives, not just your own, better.
So protection racket as business model. As a food lover，I personally hate this, it will potentially add unnecessary burden and stress to food seller.
Rocket League has a pretty serious inflection point on the learning curve where the game suddenly becomes much more fun. Basically once you can control the ball enough where your optimal strategy isn't "punt the ball as far as you can", the game gets much more interesting.

I clocked about 200 hours over 3 years before hitting that point, and since then I've done another 200 over 6 months.

Regardless, I think it's one of the few e-sports that's fun to watch regardless of how skilled you are yourself.
My first was 56k download of Slackware 4.3(?). Followed by I believe Red Hat 5.1 (from Best Buy). Later, I think I bought Red Hat 5.2 on Cheap Bytes. From there, I ran FreeBSD on my Thinkpad 600e using Window Maker. I miss it. Dearly.

Now, I'm on macOS with the 2017 15 inch Touch Bar MacBook Pro. I like it actually (I only wish I could replace the keyboard and/or open it in case I get gunk inside it). Only because I never used the function keys and it's a neat little hackable toy (the touch bar that is). My escape is caps lock, so the esc key doesn't bother me. I'm spoiled and entrenched in the Apple, iOS, WatchOS eco system. I constantly think about getting another Thinkpad, probably daily.
No, bad design and refusal to manage technical debt is the issue. Oncall only matters in some orgs and even then only matters where the tech debt is totally out of control.

Bottom line is Amazon is a product culture not an engineering culture and that makes it really easy to leave for Google or unicorns that really appreciate tech debt tradeoffs.

The problem with the UX of netflix, spotify, etc is that their tied to the service, they have a monopoly on that service. I should be able to watch content I've paid for through they player I want with the features I want and not be forced to use the netflix player. I just want a textual list of shows available, apparently this technology is beyond the abilities of the tech team at netflix.

Autoplay is another pet peeve, I like the feature but if I fall asleep then netflix considers the show watched and removes it from my continue list.

The worse it get's the more I'm tempted to go back to less legal means of acquiring content, then I can watch it in any player without an arbitrarily gimped resolution.
You can turn off "play next episode" in the web page based interface. Or, you could. I turned it off a while ago, and that change still works for me.
