Funny story:I use to work for a tech company that buid pay-to-view systems for hotels (small atom box with nice screen in each hotel room). Thennnn the guys wanted porn movies... fine we got it and it was great (ppl buying porn with their breakfast). But the porn movies didn't have trailers so we just took any 30 sec of it.... BIG MISTAKE... no one was buying the movies anymore... We quickly realised our random 30sec were too graphic People were only watching the trailers on repeat (yes this is the one time your mind-in-gutter is right) ! lol We had to make new trailers but show nothing below the naval :D

I applied for a Rails Engineer job. Day 1, my team lead insisted on Grails. After 6 months, team leads stopped Product Development, and the next few months consisted of me being inside datacenters installing Hadoop clusters on baremetal. Funny thing is; I did that to myself, since I never complained and just took it in.

Almost 2 years in, never touched rails code, lots of ansible playbooks, dockerfiles, random ruby scripts, several company trips to Japan/US; it seems that I became the de-facto Big Data engineer on the company. Many would think it was something I liked. But I didn't. Executives, managers and engineers in the company relied on me to solve what was "sold" to current enterprise customers about "Big Data" and "Machine Learning". The pressure sets in. I couldn't in my nature pose myself as an "expert data scientist" and "big data guy" when I have 0 experience with ML, Python, Spark and Statistics.

I resigned. I thought the reason why I felt stressed because I was alone in this Big Data thing. Boy, I was so wrong. They counter-offered and gave me a high position + a 5-person team, 3 statisticians and 2 system administrators. I never should have took that counter-offer. This time, the pressure is higher since I'm officially responsible for the entire Product line. I needed to catch up to a hyped-up ecosystem of frustrated customers whose only chant was 'your company told me my Hadoop platform could do "Big Data + Machine Learning + AI" where is it?'.

After 4 months of trying; getting me and everyone on the team into Datacamp + Python training seminars, while writing an MVP for a ML-product I thought of, while building product roadmaps, being on meetings, handling internal politics and current customer support. I resigned.

I guess the real reason was; I didn't want this in the first place. Even if I tried to embrace the work, the climb was too steep with amount of runway I had. Customers are expecting ML-based products, now. I couldn't live up to the standards of a Big Data Lead when I have 0 experience on anything Big Data, no mentors teaching me about the proper way to write ML products, let alone run a team.
It isn't, they were a cartel.

> RAM is fast, disk is slow, network is really slow.

(all speeds are read time)
RAM speed: 35 GB/s
Disk speed: 3.2 GB/s
Network speed: 0.87 GB/s

While you aren't wrong, I have no problem loading cat pictures at network speed instead of ram speed.

I think the real issue here is network consumption is expensive. It's better if you store all your cat pictures for as long as possible. People would complain in discord generated gigabits of temporary disk files, but RAM usage can always be freed if the OS demands it.
My friend decided to never watch trailers or teasers, and know as little as possible before watching a movie.

It worked out really well for him. The less expectations he had, the more he appreciated the work of art for what it really was.

It's a great philosophy, but it is tedious to time it late to a movie showing exactly right so that you miss the trailers.

Time for a Kafkaesque story:

Initially, when I applied for a bank account under the name of "Jack Middle Chen," they listed my name as "Jackmiddlechen." Just one name, like Cher. Chinese names don't have spaces so it made sense, but this of course made it impossible for me to pay online, where they require family and surnames separately.

So I went back and asked them to differentiate between my first, middle and last names, so they added spaces, without changing the order. So my name became "Jack Middle Chen," where "Jack" was my last name and "Middle Chen" was my first name.

So I went back and asked them to change the order, because it's obviously wrong. So they changed my name to "Chen Middle Jack." Where Chen is now my correct family name, but my new first name is now "Middle Jack."

So I went back and asked them to change my first name to "Jack" because "Middle" is my middle name. But of course, Chinese don't have middle names so they don't have a field for that. So my first name then became "Jack Middle." Which is fine.

The issue is that my names now all had spaces. Chinese names don't have spaces, as mentioned, so to separate my alpha numeric names, they literally had to insert the space character into my name. So when I try to shop online, my name doesn't match because my official registered name has several space character somewhere in there, encoded in a weird way.

So at this point, I go back and try to clarify what my name actually is in their records. I tell them just to make it look exactly like my passport. So now my name is "JACK MIDDLE CHEN," all caps. I still have no idea what my first name and last name is but I've given up shopping online with this card, and since it matches my passport exactly, I can use it at the bank, which is good enough for me.

23andMe Is Sharing Its Million Clients Data with Drug Giant GlaxoSmithKline
I didn’t dispute the description of Keybase being labeled a walled garden. I opposed it being too-broadly called proprietary, when it’s not — only the backend is. And for anyone only using the official keybase servers, that’s irrelevant from a trust perspective, which is the reason people usually (mistakenly) bring up source code availability.

Now I’ll also partially dispute the accusation of it being a walled garden, since walled gardens don’t have open specifications and documented APIs for third-party client implementations.

The backend source code would be good to have, for the prudent reason you pointed out, as well as for private instances, but that’s not enough: you also need client code modifications to allow configuration for custom servers.

About binaries: anyone who thinks source code is required for determining program behavior probably shouldn’t be auditing software in the first place. (Often having just the source code makes it more difficult, not less.)
God forbid if your last name has a space in it in your passport (MC DIRMID). The fun in China will never end with that. Also, your middle name is now a part of your first name, sigh.
I think people are watching movie trailers because they're almost self-contained movies. Very frequently the protagonist and antagonist are set-up, the protagonist's challenges are laid out, the protagonist is shown overcoming the challenges, the nature of the twist is shown (and sometimes the twist itself is hinted at), any romantic relationship of significance is both shown and shows the direction it will go in the movie, half the big awesome SFX scenes are included, half the funny one-liners are included, and every character of significance is revealed.

Sometimes you literally don't even need to watch the movie, you just got the tl;dw in the trailer.

I refuse to watch trailers for movies I might see, because they ruin the experience since I know everything that's coming.
They actually aren't very tough unless they are prodded into going into a sort of hibernation called cryptobiosis. If the temperature changes too quickly, they die quite easily.

Regardless, GNOME is going to do something which is many times more terrible than having a global or local application menu. They are going to put everything into hamburger menus:

https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/Whiteboards/AppMenuMigration

I can see why the hamburger menu works for a constrained space (such as a smartphone), but for a laptop or desktop, it is absolutely terrible: place for less menu items, another layer of navigation (since you cannot cram everything in one menu), and in the GNOME case typically no visible keyboard shortcuts.

The Xerox Star had hamburger menus, but Apple Lisa and the Macintosh moved away from hamburger menus because regular menus had better discoverability and required less clicking accuracy [1]. We are moving backwards when it comes to user interfaces. Luckily, it seems that this disease hasn't really spread to KDE or macOS yet.

Unfortunately, in GNOME, the application menu was already pretty useless, because it had many items already moved to the hamburger menu or simply removed.

Slack channels are largely defined by _membership_, not necessarily by _topic_. At least in my organization (we use Slack), there is generally a channel (or channels) for each team and larger channels for the whole company.

As these channels get bigger, they inevitably split into sub channels (#myteam becomes #myteam-status, #myteam-oncall, #myteam-eng, ...). But this is clunky and can lead to a lot of confusion as to what chats should go where. Furthermore information retrieval can be cumbersome as I’ve found myself flipping through 5 chats and searching them all for a conversation.

I don’t have any experience with zulip, but it’s strategy of partitioning conversations largely aligns with how I think when I look for things on Slack: First I recall who I was talking to (channel), then I drill down and look for the thread I’m thinking of.
> Having multiple monitors doesn’t remove the need to know which app you’re in or to perform actions specific to that app. Just like the Activities button, the App Menu resides at a known location on your primary monitor and serves a crucial role as a landmark.

I have to strongly disagree on this one. Having my window open in my 3rd monitor - and having to go back to the 1st monitor every time I have to use a menu item - seems like a kafkaesque nightmare to me.

Doesn't insurance take perception into account too? If the true chance of a lawsuit is X, but doctors believe it's some Y that's greater than X, then an insurance company could price this as if it was Y, and get (Y-X) in free money. Is there enough competition in this space to prevent that?
Some thing exactly like that will happen.

I'm a lawyer and have sued doctors for malpractice. Before bringing such a lawsuit, the lawyer hires an expert witness, another doctor, who testifies there is malpractice. Then, you are facing a deep-pocket insurance defense law firm. Med mal cases are costly and in some states, the damages are limited. No med mal lawyer worth their salt would bring a case unless there was clear malpractice.

Most med mal cases are failure to diagnose. That is, the doctor fails to find out what is wrong with you, and you are harmed as a result. If the doctor runs a battery of tests, however, they can properly diagnose the disease and not harm the patient. For a nominal fee, the doctor can save someone's life. This may be bad for the system as a whole, but it is good for the individual patient.

One of my biggest frustrations with e-mail as long-form discussion like this is misunderstanding points. Someone will write paragraphs of text arguing their position, but they made a bad assumption or missed something simple at the start that either partly or completely invalidates the rest of what they are saying. Depending on if people realize this or not, it's easy to slip into a kind of bike-shedding discussion arguing about the incorrect details. I've been on both sides of this, and it's one of the reasons I dislike e-mail for it.

I tend towards being an introvert, and I'm not always good at coming up with an argument on the spot. I recognize this, and I will often end the real-time discussion by literally just saying "Ok, I need to go think about this before we discuss it anymore. Let's come back in a day or two." Just like you don't have to respond to e-mails the instant they come in, you don't have to do it for real-time or chat, either.

I will also do the same to others when I can. For example, yesterday I suggested a new approach to how a certain part of our product works, and pitched it to the team. There was only minor feedback so I just said "okay, go think about it, and I'll bring it up again later", so I will probably ask tomorrow to see if anyone has further thoughts on it. It's amazing what sleeping on ideas can do.

The thing I'm really trying to get at here is real-time doesn't mean "now! now! now!". There's absolutely nothing wrong with several meetings over the course of days or weeks or months. For strategic and key design discussions, there should absolutely be documentation written between those discussions. In fact, that's basically the way I operate: discuss, document, give time for people to review, and then discuss again, repeating as much as needed.

There's people that are opposite and want the response "now!", and don't want to take time to think through problems -- but I would guess there's a large overlap with the type of people that come over to your desk / call you and say "I just sent you an e-mail, did you get it?" and then only read the first sentence or two of your reply anyway.

It would appear AWS is the entire profit Center of Amazon.

With Amazon retail business being run as a non profit, until such time as conditions compel Amazon to raise prices higher.

If Amazon’s shareholders allow Amazon to continue running retail as a non profit(as they have for over 20 years), then I think this will continue until Amazon maxes out at whatever the ceiling retail market share is for a single company.

But I think Amazon’s non profit retail land grab could continue for another 10-20 years.

Besides shareholders stopping Amazon, I envisage the only things that can stop the Amazon Borg Cubes are:

1)Government regulatory “shields” being raised

2)Web/Cloud Services getting ruthlessly competitive and margins plummeting.

Just my personal thoughts.

Then you have to search by size to determine the price roulette result.

From a customer centric angle, not so much.
I think GPs point was that it requires a full system/machine onto which you can install it, be it VM or bare metal (which doesn't look too involved, based on the documentation[1]), but that it won't work as/in a container.

Perhaps the problem lies with how our culture views the company as a “machine” (in a metaphorical sense) whose only purpose is to produce some useful output. All that matters is how can you tweak or modify the machine to be more productive or less costly to operate. People in this world view are simply the metaphorical cogs (preferably interchangeable ones). It would be silly to care about a cog the way you would your significant other or even your pet.

I’m not saying this is a bad thing. It just happens to be the state of modern work culture.

There’s an emerging world view that instead sees a company as a purposeful organism with all the biological messiness and unpredictability that it implies. This organism has its own needs and desires separate from the productive outputs. Traditional management hierarchies don’t exist for it. Instead, each person is like a independent cell that senses their environment and reacts on their own, but for the common good as they’re actually interdependent in each other.

It’s still early, but there’s emerging evidence from the last few decades[1] that this way of being in the world could be more resilient in the long term and may eventually supplant the company-as-machine model.

Ask HN: Yearly only subscriptions for apps – what are your experiences?
Hi, I've noticed a trend recently where apps (such as Calm) would only offer a single subscription option of a yearly plan (so no month-by-month, 3 months, 6 months, etc)

In my head this seems like a risky move, as it removes a segment of more casual users, and also takes away other pricing "tricks" you can employ such as anchoring, discounts for longer subscriptions, etc.

Does anyone have any thoughts on only offering a only a single yearly plan, or any experiences in the past why companies might be moving to this pricing model?

Thanks!

On the one hand, I while I don't use it anymore, I do wish desktops were more of a first-class citizen for Gnome, since it's the default environment on many distributions.

On the other hand though, I really wish designers involved in Linux FOSS projects would stop shoving designs made with smartphones in mind on the desktop.
