I want to say this is the least rude way but I'll just say it -- this really seems like an oversight of local restaurants being unable to adapt to the market they have. It's similar to how certain stores who failed to realize online retail failed.

Right now, with tech it's heavily favored toward catered food which local restaurants don't necessarily specialize in. At my start up we have a generic catering company that will have a rotating meal each day. It's cost-effective and still good quality food and removes the hassle of our Workplace Services from figuring out what food we should get next time.

If local restaurants could adapt to such a model and made more of an effort to advertise toward their market and perhaps arrange a monthly catered meal or something of the sort, they might see themselves doing better.
As a previous commenter mentioned Revolut do this.

However I would suggest a temporary card that only lasts for 2 transactions.

- the authorization charge (e.g. $1 on amazon.com) [1]

- the actual amount of the purchase

Too many times I have been caught out by the authorization charge, only to have the actual purchase fail.

>Someone should probably mention that calling the source biased is just circumstantial ad hominem, which is even lower on the pyramid than responding to tone.

Yeah, that gets thrown around a lot by people who like to parrot logical fallacies to sound smarter than they are. In reality credibility matters. A lot. Especially for journalists.

You're trusting this person to report the facts accurately. You're trusting them to report fully and not omit relevant details. You're trusting this person to commit to an investigation which is as impartial as possible.

All of those require trust, and trust is built by credibility, which is built by demonstrating that you do your job well.

So no, of course it doesn't mean that everything else in the article is incorrect. Of course, I never said that (straw man on your part? Thought you may enjoy that.) It _does_ mean that I will take anything I read afterwards with a grain of salt.

Right, I'm just saying, back when I was a creationist myself, a large part of the argument was that it's well-nigh impossible for mutations to be beneficial. And it appears this is not direct evidence of that still.
I see the man. So technically, it is a debit card instead of a credit card. Anyway, thanks for your reply.
All the ripple effects of this are so poorly thought out. There'd be environmental effects--all that takeout is going to come in disposable containers instead of reusable plates. There'd be delivery congestion--personal delivery and catering increases. There's the fact that you're just putting tech kitchen workers out of a steady, consistent job (not to mention, those workers don't rely on tips!). And then at the end of the day, most people aren't going to go to sit-down restaurants to spend $20 on a sandwich in SF; they're just going to bring food from home.

This will help a little, but if you scour HN, then you get the wisdom of crowds. Today I found a really short succinct book on ASP.net, it was exactly what I was looking for!
> Bandwidth and hardware prices today should make it possible to just be charged as you use it.

I'm not sure how you get one from the other.

Assuming you mean a pay-as-you-use scheme that merely charges a modest premium over the traditional model of paying up front, it's tough to see why it would be attractive for a provider. What their cost for the hardware or bandwidth happens to be wouldn't make much difference, since they have to pay it regardless.

A pay-as-you-use scheme that charges a huge premium, such as a multiple of the providers cost, on the other hand, could be quite attractive, as evidenced by what cloud providers do.
This is absolutely what will happen. In an attempt to force tech workers to "interact" with the community, what will happen is that the restaurants will become playgrounds for tech workers and the community members will go elsewhere.
Actually I don't own an iPhone X :P Our core user base tends to use 6 and above (approx 2 generations behind) and we dogfood regularly with a huge group of beta testers (thousands) with a huge range of hardware. We try our best to make sure the average use case is considered.
Since this is an API, that means you just build this into your app. You could initially decline the transaction, send a push alert to the user's app notifying them that the transaction is in review, then update them on that status when approved/declined. At that point the card can be run again and approved if that was the decision. You could even allow a pre-request through the app, when when approved would enable your user's card for the purchase. The possibilities are endless.
> Some 300 prehistoric worms were analysed - and two ‘were shown to contain viable nematodes’.

This sounds like 300 non-nematode worms were examined, and two of them contained viable nematodes as parasites. Is that correct? Because everything else in the article sounds like the nematodes are the worms, rather than were in the worms.

It's a tiny detail, but it's bugging me.
By that logic, we should just ban rollercoasters; they're inherently unsafe, obviously, and it's a lost cause to try to make them more safe. Never mind that we've spent more than a century doing just that. No reason why duckboats can't get the same treatment.

From what I understand, pretty much 100% of the work is fulfilled by contractors. While I could be wrong, that's not what I would call a "steady, consistent job"

I wish there were more people who were in the "newsgroups should be used for substantive discussions" camp. They're better than email in that context.
(This may be obvious, but I want to hear it from you). Why add "kind"? Why not just "actionable and specific"?
Once our minds are digital, it will require a rethinking of the concept of self. Send a copy of you to the stars and keep a copy at home enjoying terrestrial life. Meet back up in 20 billion years and have a beer with an old friend.

FWIU that would still be allowed under the rules everyone's complaining about.

Given that you've started casting aspersions on my character, at this point it's hard to imagine that you're not acting in bad faith. But who knows, maybe it is possible to salvage this.

I don't understand what was so objectionable about my assumption. Sure, I could have fact-checked the numbers on the comment I was replying to, but they were irrelevant to my point, and it's not exactly a news article where such rigour would matter. I don't really feel a stronger defence is necessary. I also acknowledged your correction of the statistic.

You say you're making a point, but what actually is it? The most meaningful moments of my life have been when i've realised i've been wrong about something, so seriously, if I've made a big mistake I genuinely want to know what it is. But ultimately, for me to recognise when I'm wrong, the mistake needs to be highlighted.

Nematodes, which were revived here, were also the first cellular species which was found to survive deep in the earths crust - in a study which also featured one of the same Princeton researchers (T. C. Onstott [1]) collaborating with a different group of international researchers:

> "Nematode found in mine is first subsurface multicellular organism"

> Until now, it was thought that the temperature, energy, oxygen and space constraints of the subsurface biosphere were too extreme for multicellular organisms. [2]

This is interesting news but I'm curious if this will be largely limited to this unique type of (multicellular) organism which can survive extreme conditions?

Scrappy founder here. Telegram crushes it for low latency, instantly synched desktop/mobile flexibility, easy topic channels and groups, and trivial bot API. I've not seen anything do what it does as perfomantly.

For code, wiki, and issues, it's self hosted Gitea. It's a dream to fire up thanks to Go and SQLite, and users forget you're not at GitHub.

>> Everytime I have a serious conversation about the productivity gains or losses of Slack though, it is pretty clear to me that it is more disruptive than helpful. It fosters a "Always on" culture, where irrelevant chats are exchanged publicly to advertise how much work is being done. If you shut down Slack and appear as Offline people assume you are not working.

This is once again entirely up to the business that deploys it. We use Slack and punish people who use Slack as a project management tool; we have Basecamp for that.

It comes to setting boundaries and consent, which is something en vogue in the 21st century and something I guess a lot of humans didn't get trained on when they were young.

I don't disagree with not being productive 100% of the time. My gripe is that for many non-tech people, their computer time is majority memes and videos. The ratio is all wrong, IMO. This incorrect ratio has created the click-bait internet and other scorns of the modern internet IMO as corporations are catering to the masses.

The internet is such a large collection of knowledge, I just wish more people used it to improve themselves, or at least their understanding of the many different things we have in the world.
"For health insurance, where women cost the insurance company more, insurance companies are forced to charge the same rates, because it’s wrong to make someone pay more for something based on an inherent trait they have no control over."

I don't think this hypothesis is consistent with the fact that ACA plan rates depend on your age, which you have no control over.

At this point I don’t think any company should be relying on on-prem solutions remaining on-prem which aren’t open source. There’s too much to be gained from a cloud + SaaS business model. If you want to be either on prem or just avoid cloud lock in, open source is the way to go. The user just has much more power in the context of OSS than they do proprietary software.

That being said, it’s unfortunate that OSS in many areas lags behind proprietary software in so many different areas, and it’s clear that for many different business use cases properietary cloud services are going to be more cost effective than OSS. As the deployment and ops aspects of software becomes more automated and simplified, I think this might begin to start shifting back in favor of OSS though.

Isn't this the beginning of some horror body snatching movie?
This one is going to be much more difficult to defeat. I suspect we will see more dangerous local exploits based on power side channels.

Mitigating those will be bad for power usage and performance. We can imagine future processors will manage cache state differently, keeping all changes local to the core until the relevant instructions retire. I have no idea how you would mitigate functional unit power up / power down without destroying the usefulness of the feature itself.

From the perspective of the business issuing the cards, basically. But, from the perspective of the customers of _that_ business, it depends on how they set up the rules.
> i am talking about bare metal, but dynamic hardware resources would require some sort of virtualization

This is a bit confusing, as "bare metal" is usually used as a contrast to virtualization, although it I suppose it could mean "not cloud" (but further muddled by AWS offering "bare metal" instance types).

More importantly, though, if you're thinking of some kind of VPS provider, where you'd dynamically allocate and de-allocate servers from their inventory, there's no reason you couldn't run directly on the hardware with no hypervisor.

Virtualization is only strictly necessary for multi-tenancy, such as if you need to allocate only half of a server.
How do non-engineers update documentation?
I see these types of comments, and I have a really hard time viewing them as anything but pretty entitled.

I mean, yeah, it's unfortunate for those who won't get free lunches anymore (I'm currently part of the group that does, although I'm not in the bay area) but it's not like you deserve free food as a perk any more than any other random worker. If it were my company inflicting the decision on me after a record earnings call, yeah, I'd probably be pretty pissed off. But a city trying to make sure a corporation in a public, mixed use space doesn't insulate itself too much from the surrounding economy? There are pretty obviously people who benefit and people who are harmed, but it's not like this is the end of the world, those employees just aren't getting a benefit 99% of other employees in the world don't get either.
They're still at the mercy of Google and Apple on the underlying phone software, given that they can't patch it.

My fiance worked at a company that had pretty much literally this system, just without the "free" part of it.

Go online, pick food from one or two places, get a text when the food arrives for the office. My understanding was that it worked decently well, just was a bit expensive compared to bringing lunch from home (obviously) and sometimes the food got repetitive.

"Software scales, and this makes big companies bigger."

This seems less obvious the more I think about it. You are saying proprietary home grown software scales. You can just as well say software provided by external sources scales, which is why you don't need a big company with a lot of employees. If you can argue it both ways, then the real question is what tips the balance? Maybe we just have a bimodal ecosystem where the big get bigger and the small get more numerous.

This isn't the government having a say in what a person does in their private time.

To fit the allegory of Communist Albania that you gave, the government would be have to be forcing tech workers to eat a minimum quantity of food at local restaurants every week.

That's not what they are doing. You are still free to bring sandwiches from home, or order Soylent online and get it sent direct to your office, bypassing the local economy entirely.

I've read the entire WASM spec and implemented a WASM loader and linter. It doesn't do anything that JS can't do on its own. It's just a slightly faster asm.js, in a way which is irrelevant to any comparison between JS and Flash, since JS in V8 is already far faster than AS in Flash ever was.
If opt out were truly the default, it would, in turn here, imply that default behaviour of the site is to serve the plaintext version. This is obviously not the case and has never been the case.
My boss has been gradually overdosing his LSD and MDMA, becoming more and more frantic and chaotic. Once he called me on Saturday night, apparently under influence, and demanded a new feature to be done by tomorrow morning. I said no, adviced him to get some sleep and hang up on him. He sent me a message saying that "he knows people who can make my life very hard". I took a screenshot and emailed the message to the whole company (200+), along with my resignation letter. That day I decided I should stop working for other people. The company bankrupted shortly after, auditors discovered massive tax fraud and a bunch of unpaid credits from European banks my boss was hiding from.
Not directly relevant, but it's possible OP is a girl, so not necessarily "he".
As for the "time machine" aspect, I find old magazines to be even more evocative. The Internet Archive has a bunch of old computer magazines available and reading those I feel like I'm transported back to the 1980s.

Based on our experience yes I would certainly consider doing the Android side in React Native starting today.

While the performance footprint is mostly the same - the ecosystem and feature set around it has improved a ton to the point where I believe you could get it 90% there very quickly.

One of my friends has a small startup and they went full React Native as a team of two and they describe the Android side as "free" as in they really just focus on iOS and it 90% of the time it also works fine on Android (they care less about older devices at the moment so they don't spend time optimizing for those).

Android inherently will always have challenges due to the vast number of devices and hardware/performance problems but going native isn't a silver bullet either and doesn't shield you from the challenges entirely - it's just a familiar form of pain ;P
