I think a lot of people understood the consequences pretty clearly. Think of the nerds you know who refused to use Facebook. They knew.

I'm guessing you meant Plato, Socrates was likely illiterate.
The term "Sprint" makes me cringe, it's meaningless in my experience. It doesn't effectively identify goals or deadlines. It's a stupid techie/hipster term that no one apparently pays attention to.

I love how you've automatically assumed we're based in Silicon Valley. Trademark HN armchair critiquing at it's finest!
It’s funny you mention the U2. If I’m remembering right, the U2 went from idea to flying in 18 months. That is my benchmark for what 18 months of development by a talented team looks like. And yes, you’re right, it’s not an airplane for mass production, but it filled a niche and did a damned good job of it.
I think that is basically what has happened, only it is one step removed from the corporations listed. For example Cambridge Analytica leveraged Facebook to further their political agenda. US government leveraged all the above to setup a surveillance state unrivalled in it's scope (bar maybe by the Chinese). The web was supposed to be a liberator allowing the marginalised to connect and flourish. This happened. Now nerds are cool but no one ever considered that racist misogynist scum are also a marginalised group.
> … it’s staggering how popular this password appears to be. Utterly staggering at the lack of imagination …

It's also staggering how often a system requires a passcode but the operator's of the system don't want to use one, or the system needs to be provided with a known passcode so the client can log into it for the first time.

Often, also, passcodes serve as courtesy locks, where the intention isn't to make it impossible to gain access (far from it, often on industrial systems you might need night shift to be able to get in and change settings in an emergency) but to signal to an operator that they're entering an area of the program where they shouldn't touch anything without explicit instructions.

In either of these cases, an easily guessable (I'd go so far as to say 'standard') PIN strikes the right balance between no security at all, and actually keeping out people who might need access.
> a topic as simple as dieting

Diet and nutrition has to be one of the most complex and divisive topics currently. There is an incredible amount of anecdotal advice and "scientific" evidence for every theory imaginable, driven by the vast diversity of the human population and commercial agendas.

Or do you think in terms of "calories in - calories out = weight gain", which is as simple as it is useless?
I don;t think registering a military airbase on "google my business" is appropriate. We aren't a secret location, but still aren't focused on increasing our web presence. We just want the bus and taxi companies to come to the correct place when we call them. (They never listen to the address we give them. They google us and drive to wherever google maps says.)

We tried the "report and error" and "claim this business" functions on maps. Both were rejected. I got a note from a moderator person saying the new location was a construction site, which it was three years ago. Now we are in the new building.
These days, with powerful tools like jira/github/gitlab you can do the update and ask for help in a much more convenient text format, easily searchable and referencable. And you can do that all day every day, if your team is good you’ll get an answer much sooner than “once per day”.

With that in mind, the standup’s role is sort of weird - everyone agrees that “it’s important”, but for everything you actually do in it there are better ways to do it.

Maybe it’s the actual talking with other human beings thats the important part, where you can see that your team mates have their own struggles and problems, to read their body language and feel a bit more part of the tribe.

And if _that’s_ the case, maybe we’ve missed the whole point of the standup? We could make the standup a small slack post, and have a “talkie time” set up each day just to feel human?
I used this to lose a decent amount of weight a few years ago, it was a good read and quite motivating. Unfortunately I then got back into homebrewing, increased my craft beer consumption, and most of it came back. It's good to know what's possible though :)
I actually quite like it. It is fast, to the point and funnels you through a way to contact you.
While annoying to me as well (the title of this post almost seems like it was intended to invite this argument), I think it can be reconciled with by treating it as [proper noun] [noun].

As in, "PIN" is a name – not a macro that is supposed to expand to the decompressed phrase – and "number" is the kind. The name disambiguates it from others of the same kind, and the kind sometimes helps to disambiguate the name:

"Enter your number" vs. "Enter your pin" vs. "Enter your pin number"

"Go there and talk to the guy named Bob" vs. "Go there and talk to Bob"
Show HN: brutal.js v1.4 – landing keyed DOM sync with no vdom

Yeah it's definitely much easier to keep a rough estimate in your head. Just knowing that a piece of cheese is 400kJ, a beer is 450 and a can of coke 900 is worthwhile. People tend to underestimate their eating habits if they don't keep a rigorous diary but it's far better than nothing and was a big help in losing weight for me (along with working to find an exercise regime I could actually covert to a habit, even though I still hate every minute of it).
It's hard for big telcos to move fast (it was hard for Google to move fast in this area). What telcos are doing today is responding to what happened 5 years ago. Where they're doing it is responding to what happened 6-12 months ago.

Because Google wasn't able to get traction on their construction in San Jose, AT&T had time to do street surveys and order custom multistrand fiber with drops for a splitter at every pole, and then get the fiber actually on the pole before Google got much of anything done. Existing carriers can run new cable on poles they already have access without a lot of hassle.

Otoh, Google primarily wanted to show it could be done and spur others to, faster eyeballs without capital costs is a win. If you can't get 10mbps for YouTube on a gigabit connection, something is clearly broken.

Edit: pole instead of poll (thanks unmonk)

Brutal.js is a small "framework" for building brutalist web applications.

After experimenting with stateful components ( like React ), I decided against that as too complex and implemented keyed templates that cache on the first time you instantiate them and, on subsequent calls with the same key, minimally diff their associate DOM using methods like replaceNode and setAttribute and without keeping a vdom. I think this approach is simple, and has the potential to be very fast.

Simple, less code, fast, is what I'm aiming for with this framework for building brutalist web apps. Thanks for checking it out :)

Well, hopefully that friend can learn how to see everything they do as amazing internally, when they want to.

Everyone needs that sometimes in life. Comes down to self belief, self expectations, hopes, dreams.

I don't know what your manic friend is like, but I do know that if you really care about them, think of yourself as a guide to find those things out, and help them get there.

As children we are allowed to believe we can do anything. It's vitally important to retain that part of you.

I can't assume that a lot of people understand their cycles. But we all have them. Every person I've met, known, or read from or about. Everyone has insecurities and dreams.

McMaster is extremely overpriced. Good for just ordering stuff for quick prototypes where you don't need to shop on price, but otherwise, it's easy to end up paying multiple times as much for some item as you would if you found a good OEM supplier for each component (and this isn't even considering Chinese OEM suppliers).
Besides my family there are 5 possessions I get mildly depressed if I don't have. My iPhone, my Bragi dash, my Tesla, my house, my Bitcoin. Maybe 2/3 of these I can see being usurped by something better - I'll leave it to the reader to guess.
The people you quote would say "no" to the question "Did you let Trump do that?" (No.)

Knowing that women don't let him do that might might be a good reason to put words in Trump's mouth and remove "they'll let you" from his sentence, but it is not a faithful translation.

What he said was that they let you do that. It's not true that the women let him do that, but that's what was uttered. As a translator, you don't get to change what someone said, to instead match the truth that you learn from somewhere else.

For an example, a famous lie is that Nixon said "I am not a crook." We know he was a criminal who resigned due to his criminal activities. So can I change that line from "I am not a crook" to, "Nixon called himself a crook"? After all the reason for his statement or the use of the word crook was the fact that he was a crook, and making a public address on this subject.

Of course not. And likewise it's wrong to change "they let you grab 'em by the pussy" to "grab 'em by the pussy" by misquoting the sentence. It's there in black and white, you just have to read it.
They later acknowledged that ads could give better experience. Their earlier beliefs in the beginning were probably based on the ads at that time. 1 search engine didn't distinguish bw search results and ads, leading to bad user experience. Clearly, Google eliminated this.

I'd agree with that - I appreciate the added granularity. I wonder sometimes, what if the problem is because we so disagree on the methods we can't get anything done, when either full bore one way or full bore the other would be a better outcome?
I agree that it makes it vulnerable to service disruption, but mostly in the opposite of the way you're suggesting.

When I lived in Baltimore, it was a well-known problem among all the ISPs I asked for DSL service that, while you needed a Verizon tech to interact with their lines from the pole even if you were using another ISP, the Verizon techs would often outright not show up without notice and leave the ISP's techs sitting there, apologetic and unable to do anything.

After trying this with 3 different DSL ISPs (and multiple attempted appointments per ISP), I concluded that it was unlikely all 3 of them were telling the same lie.
Did you mean to write "pole" instead of "poll"? (Genuine question - I'm not sure whether "poll" is a term with some meaning in the telecom / isp industry.)
I wonder if Google could pivot to offering legal services for establishing municipal broadband. There has to be some way they can recoup the costs by acting as the legal 'spear' for cities that are unaware of how to offer greater competition and allow smaller ISPs in (if not acting as their own).

There are some apps that have calories from some restaurants.

Also after some time weighting all the food you get better at estimating how much each ingredient weights, and at knowing how much each thing "costs" in calories.

It will not be perfect, but better than nothing.
It's draining and kind of silly of you think about it. Why don't we also track and and count other activities: like when you go to the bathroom, how much sex you have, and perhaps how many breaths a day you take.

Animals with no analytic faculties still manage to live healthy lives, so how do they do it? Simply, our bodies have built-in systems for regulating automatic functions. The problem is it's built to survive in the state of nature and modernity is an unnatural environment that throws a wrench in the system.

Once you realize this, the solution is clear: minimize the bad influences of modernity and try to live as close as possible to how our ancestors did. Eat meat when hungry, drink water when thirsty, lift heavy weight, and sleep at night and wake up in the morning, get some air and sunlight etc.

I've been down the quantified-self road before and at best it leads to a big useless unanalyzed database. At worst, you become paranoid constantly questioning whether you're getting the optimal sleep, calories, sun etc.

They are using serverless architecture. Firestore is a "Daas". The latency for loading the page wasn't the real problem, it was the side-effect. The real problem resulted in 40bilion request, they were requesting all the collection of payments in each session. It reaches 16K documents downloaded /session, so they were paying 16K reads documents for session. Firestore gives you 50K reads/day for free, and ask $0.06 for 100K reads. So It was a really bad logical approaching from them. If they did in a best way , like update a document that holds the two accumulators : total money accumulated and total payments created, and read just this document in each session request their bill to show this information for 2M session should be less than $2, because you are reading 1 document for session instead of 16K documents. And pay attention that their system wasn't down, probably the 30s latency was a side-effect of downloading 16K document of each payment information in the client side.

This is a Canada wide problem. Rather, Id even say its a !valley problem. Canadian businesses keep making this weird assumption that theres some kind of market capture but it’s really only true for people who have to stay in the city or country for some reason. The addressable hirable market is the people who chose / have to stay and havent realized being employed by a US business is as easy as switching github organizations and slack teams.
If I understand his explanation correctly, the math says the effect can't be identical because the difference in gravitional force is much too small to lift the water that much. It has to be squeezed from the poles to raise the water high enough to account for tides.
You can source nearly all of this for about half the price if you look around a bit and substitute some of the parts for cheaper equivalents. The wheels are a great example. You can pick up the same things from China for half the price or even use a different style. The motor drivers are pricey for what they are and could be replaced with many other, cheaper drivers.
Apple’s shareholders have, collectively, decided that they would rather hold Apple stock than have a trillion of today’s dollars shared between them. A trillion dollars with which they could do all sorts of other things. But no, they would rather own a slice of the future of apple.

To the question, ‘which would you rather have: a trillion US dollars cash, or ownership of apple?’, the market has said ‘apple’

So... yes, that is what apple’s ‘worth’.
Ok, that makes sense. I like that.
Toronto’s tech talent is keen... but relatively green. Since few companies have had to deal with scaling networks, users and data to the same magnitude as is common with Valley companies, it’s almost impossible to find senior engineers worthy of the title. Plenty of options for junior and intermediate, though.
100k? You’re either massively underpaid or badly misinformed, or both. Several friends living in Toronto make 120k+ and they’re certainly not senior or management. (All in their twenties). And that’s only for homegrown startups - Amazon, etc pay very respectable salaries, especially when you factor the lower cost of living compared to the Bay Area.

> also what trade

I wasn't talking about skilled trades. Every electrician or plumber I've ever met, even the ones who only do new work, wouldn't call themselves a "construction worker", or say they worked in construction. I was assuming the article was talking about what the BLS calls "construction laborers", but maybe it was talking about all possible trades involved in construction? I only read the article summary.

>I actually think that for a lot of these kinds of jobs that you could be doing them well into your 50s just fine.

That's likely true for some trades and some people, but from some googling it does look there the risk to your body from working construction is pretty significant. I was able to find a German study of 14k construction workers that said for construction industry as a whole, workers were 1.5x more likely than other blue collar workers to receive a disability pension for musculoskeletal problems, and 1.8 times more likely for accidental injuries. They were over 2x more likely to be disabled from musculoskeletal problems as the general working population.
