HipChat had some major uptime issues. I have friends who experienced whole day outages at their companies.

I hear a lot of people on HN say it was "Just IRC" and I'm always surprised by that. If IRC was so compelling then why didn't it take off? Why did Slack have a meteoric rise? It can't be for no good reason.

I think the answer is that the interface fluff they added is actually extremely important and valuable. They made it dead simple, and fun to use for EVERYONE. My limited experience with IRC was honestly not great (please don't kill me, I'm sorry). Where is the mobile app? How do I get notified when I'm not online? What is EFNet/Freenode/etc? I use a slash command and paste my password in plain text to login? I can't just paste an image?

Social apps are extremely difficult to get right. People seem to discount "silly" things like Emoji reactions. Honestly it DOES sound silly to say this, but it really is a great way to express and communicate. This is especially true for our large and diverse team. It also cuts down a TON of message spam ("Congrats!", "Yay!" etc)
Yes, a device for such fast rotating would allow for fast panorama capture, allowing things that are not possible without really fast capture of a high resolution panorama. E.g., things like high resolution 360 degree timelapses, etc.

The subtext May be xenophobic, but the ads are specifically about the wage gap between the UK and Turkey/Albania, and the explicit message is that you will lose your job, or wages will drop. That’s not xenophobic.
You raise a thought-provoking point. For example, a company that basis your salary on aptitude tests (or genetic tests - hello Gattica!). It isn’t fair if you didn’t have control over your “intelligence genes” so to say. But, this is very fuzzy right? Your intelligence and aptitude for a job is determined by so many factors, and any tests would struggle to capture the information properly, I think.

By comparison, the car insurance test of gender was straightforward (just look at the letter on the document!). I would hesitate to apply my original statement to such a fuzzy situation.

Despite slack being quite popular and truly a good product, Microsoft still has the upper hand. If you have the "Microsoft Suite" you get everything, access to all their products. Slack is fighting an uphill battle against Microsoft and eliminating Atlassian will help.

Dividing those who aren't diehard Microsoft fans won't help.

How is anything aside from legal infiltration going to make the playing field any less competitive? If we're all still playing by the same rules, there is still competition.
I'm honestly curious: where do you think the boundary between work and play occurs here? It seems to me that many of those that make those mods do it mostly as a recreation, don't you think?
It's certainly IS anticompetitive.

Anticompetitive practices aren't illegal though. They are only illegal if a company has a monopoly or has significant market power.

Now, the question we have to ask is is Slack a near monopoly in it's marketspace? Maybe. I could see the argument go either way.
Out of interest, why would you guys never use a cloud solution? Sensitive conversations? Server reliability?

Wonder if this was influenced in part by the fact that Telegram is the messaging service used by most ICO organizers. Could help in the KYC process that is becoming more commonplace.
Well, I wouldn't say Slack is a superior product necessarily. Stride had some really great ideas, like focus management and designating decisions out of discussions.
Ah, you must not work on a Microsoft stack.
But the ads are not about “not liking foreigners.” They are about a country with very different beliefs and attitudes joining a bloc where they will have voting rights in bodies that have legislative power over people in the UK. That is a completely different thing. And Turkey applied to the EU in 1987, has been a full candidate EU member since 1999, and since then has been in active negotiations to join.

Unless the insurance commissioner is going to provide an objective definition of gender that can be externally and independently verified, I'm afraid that he really has no grounds on which to claim David is a man, rather than a gender-nonconforming woman who prefers male pronouns.
Hi there, I'm currently building out some chat-based groupware and also feel like we've gone backwards since 2000.

> At least IPv6 is getting developed and it's is easier to update than DAB, so one can hope that one day in the far future it becomes usable to people like me.

Millions of people unknowningly use IPv6 every day: smartphone users on mobile networks. You either get an IPv4 address in 100.64.0.0/10 Carrier Grade NAT space or RFC1918 10.0.0.0/8 space, and a fully routeable IPv6 address. Your mobile application experience tends to be far better with services that can take advantage of native IPv6 connectivity.

What's the point of Stride again?
Jira was great, ~15 years ago. It was a tool that actually helped development, especially with the GreenHopper plugin

Now almost the entirety of its functionality is to help various middle managers track things that are important to them, while continuously making development slower. Manager 1 wants to track Metric A? Add a drop down. Manager 2 wants to track Metric B? Add a new form to fill out. And tie them all together with workflows so that you can't do your work and mark it as complete until all the boxes are checked and fields are filled.

Those that haven't experienced this probably just haven't worked in a medium or large corporation.
Compute resources tend to be significantly more expensive than storage. Our approach is two-fold:

- We finance compute resources required for you to ingest data into BigQuery. With Redshift, you pay for ingest directly via compute cluster consumption (again, more expensive than storage). This also increases your complexity due to on-cluster contention of resources between ingest and query.

- Separation of storage and compute gives you lots of options. With BigQuery ,you don't need to attach relatively expensive compute just for the luxury of getting more storage. Spectrum helps somewhat, but ultimately with Redshift you don't even get to pay for storage - you pay for compute/storage combos.

- BigQuery's Long-Term Storage is not an archival storage tier - it's a discount on storage, with identical performance and durability characteristics. At only $0.01 per GB per month.

This is likely a result of origins of the two technologies. BigQuery is Dremel, written and operated by Google since 2006. Redshift purchased source code to an on-premise fork of Postgres.
I haven't looked at them in a while but I believe Mattermost is still offering self-hosted options and I believe they still market themselves as a slack alternative.
But if EA’s stock goes up it doesn’t mean that all of the sudden people are going to go out and buy graphics cards. Where with bitcoin, they actually do it.

I was speaking regarding different GPUs. I’d like a framework which generates the fastest code for performing a given task for whatever GPU you have.

MKL’s fft isn’t a huge improvement on fftw with avx512, but its blas is ~3x as fast as openblas currently. And before these open source projects caught up, it was by far the best.

And I agree, they’ve been better about it lately. I was comparing Intel then and Nvidia now.
This has been obvious for a while. At SpaceX, Gwynne seems much more like a cofounder then a lackey. She shares musks vision and appreciates his ability to set big hairy audacious goals, but then does the impossible and manages the team to the BHAG.

That’s irrelevant. UK is split 50/50 on the issue. It depends which government is in leadership it the time of decision. There’s is no security in knowing that it could be vetoed, until the next election. Brexit was the only long term answer for those who were worried about it.

> Hm... Care to point out the bias?

It's everywhere. I'd rather not enumerate them all. I suppose just list out all the adjectives used in the article and read them. Also, list the point each paragraph is making concisely and read them. Then, the real challenge when it goes into discussing right/wrong, is to see if you can determine what is left out.

There is objective news, e.g. "these were released", and there is commentary, e.g. "here's our opinion/commentary on what was released". I'll take the former, and I wish orgs would make it clear the difference between the two. The real irony, since the freaking article on data release thinks it is the place to discuss EU successes/failures to point out irony, is that it masquerades as news while reporting on a commission researching things masquerading as news.

It is a joke, but what's worse is that it is not obvious it is a joke. We should not pretend that we are above FB users that can't tell news from non-news when it's clear we can't either. Or, even more likely, we should assume the alternative side can similarly tell real from fake and that the FB ads had little effect.

I personally have no opinion on brexit or even FB ad targeting for that matter (I'm seriously ambivalent). But I do doubt the size of its effect and I really abhor the smarter-than-thou approach some take when votes don't go their way, especially scapegoating. Those poor gullible masses...

>"More broadly, we're in a new era of political advertising that we haven't fully grappled with yet."

This. Further, digital media has become so effective and audience data so refined that it can be readily and cheaply weaponized by hostile actors to conduct a form of "soft" warfare on the battleground of peoples' news and social feeds that skirts existing broadcast-centric political advertising laws. This is why they are in drastic need of an update via something like the Honest Ads Act [1].

Well, thanks to this today I learned that Microsoft had a product called Teams. I didn't see anybody using it but I saw plenty of people using Slack. Maybe is Team addressed to big companies? My customers are all medium or small.

Does anyone here have some experience using Teams? Is it really in competition with Slack?
We saw birds flying around when we were cavemen. It's always been clear that heavier-than-air flight is possible. We don't currently know of any space-birds flying around black holes.

It's also reasonable to assume that more and more extreme physics is going to be harder and harder (if not practically impossible for any future humans) to come up with new gee-whiz uses.
I'm really hopeless about chat applications. So many apps and platforms, so little inter operability.

All that users need, most of the time, is a web app and a smartphone app for private messages.

Channels and voice are special cases. Voice is hard to achieve, and channels are usually covered by private servers.
It's really easy, the first one to support multiple chat windows will win. That and ctrl+enter to send message.
Amen to that! Both as a user and a developer in the atlassian ecosystem, the experience is like you're 2 decades behind simple basic features with astronomical implementation effort. "Enterprise" has never gotten a negative connotation within atlassian walls it seems.
Yeah I use Google Voice for this purpose, which isn't _really_ 2fa anyway (because it's my google account).
How do you comply with Apple's App Store Review Guidelines when using this (specifically, this clause):

2.5.2 Apps should be self-contained in their bundles, and may not read or write data outside the designated container area, nor may they download, install, or execute code which introduces or changes features or functionality of the app, including other apps.

Also,

> we also have a flag that forces our users to relaunch the app if the bug is app breaking

How do you do this?
I run the Atlassian stack for my company, so here's some thoughts on this:

- Jira is pretty bog-standard these days, huge installed base. It's a bit weird to administer, and not as powerful in many ways as I'd like (especially compared to a more flexible system like ServiceNow). However, it's entrenched and a lot of people like it.

- Confluence is a top tier wiki. I actually find it very nice to work with, both from an editing, organizing, and also an API standpoint. It's much nicer than MediaWiki or Sharepoint for this purpose, and though it's not ideal for collaboration on MS documents, it's still very solid for working on shared documentation.

- Bamboo is a decent build system. It's lagging behind Jenkins in terms of integrations and support for source-controlled declarative build stuff, but for teams that like to point and click it works well, and the support for parallel builds, branch builds, etc. is all much easier than it is in Jenkins.

- Bitbucket is a reasonable choice for on-prem Git hosting. I prefer GHE, but if you have the rest of the Atlassian apps, there are some integrations that are nice, and it's not terribly expensive, so if you have ops familiar with running Atlassian apps it may be a good choice for you.

That's about it. Not something I love, but definitely not something I hate. Their support is also quite good, and guided me through a painful upgrade of a stack that my predecessors had left neglected for five years with no patching. Can't complain about that!

There seems to be this weird obsession in a lot of the corporate world that the way to grow is to cut spending. This increases profit% in the short to mid term, at the cost of actual absolute profit, especially in the longer term.

Shrug.

Management doesn't trust externally-hosted solutions with our IP. This expands beyond chat applications as well.
The Dalio points might be relevant but overlaying a chart on top of another and drawing analogues based purely on aesthetics is bad finance. There's a reason hedge funds aren't pitching clients on technical analysis based trading...it's because technical analysis is the astrology of the investment world.

Also, everybody seems to be scared about the yield curve, but the problem with using an inverted yield curve as an indicator is that...while it may be a good recession indicator, recessions are a bad indicator for market performance.

Capital Minded (http://capitalminded.com) did an interesting chart in one of their recent briefings that showed stock market performance through the last 9 recessions. I'll try and dig it up and edit this comment.

But essentially half of the time, the market is net positive by a lot during recessions.

Hence why market timing is a fool's errand.
I imagine there's some observation bias here, but aren't there other enterprise chat apps out there in the market?

Like if my neighbors and coworkers and friends use Slack, I'm not sure if they're a proxy of the entire market.

The reason I say that is because there are other apps that do similar things that hail from Microsoft, Google and Facebook.

Then the retort goes: well they don't do integrations and aren't as developer focused as Slack and Hipchat.

Then, naturally, wouldn't that incentivize those other apps already in the market to build out those features, and do it better?
Lmao, Slack and HipChat are the only two apps I've ever used that are worse than MS Teams so I'm sure this is gonna go great.
Our electoral system makes it damned near impossible to elect someone else.

At the 1983 general election, the SDP won 25.4% of the popular vote, giving them 23 seats in parliament. Labour won 27.6% of the popular vote, giving them 209 seats. We are a de-facto two-party state, because the design of our electoral system is drastically biased in favour of the established major parties.

We did consider switching to a fairer electoral system in 2011, but ironically enough we decided against it by referendum.

AI: a perfect storm for enterprises development
What is the problem you're trying to solve?
It is a man-made shift. Here's the quick-and-dirty version of the reasoning:

The earth's energy equation has three big components: sunlight in, reflected sunlight out, and blackbody radiation out. Measurements of these three items indicate that we are not currently in equilibrium. Instead, there's an excess of 0.6 Watts/square meter. That means the planet is warming.

How do we know it's us? We've increased the CO2 content of the atmosphere. CO2's absorption/emission spectrum happens to be quite strong precisely where earth's blackbody radiation is strong; it therefore reduces the energy out by blocking the blackbody radiation. A paper about this is [0]. I eyeball Figure 6a as indicating a theoretical radiative forcing of 2 Watts/square meter, given the amount of CO2 we've put into the air.

I don’t see how they can grow thier way to profitability with negative marginal costs. You grow your way to profitability if you have high fixed cost and low marginal costs. But, they have to pay such exorbitant licensing fees that thier marginal cost is high. The family plans are making the situation worse.

Once Apple introduced the family plans, Spotify was toast.

And finally, there is another level of complexity when you have to go to their website to pay instead of just using an in app purpose. They were one of the top grossing apps when they had in app purchases - even when they charged more to offset Apple’s 30% cut.
