"The next morning, there’s no internet access. Cable outage? Hacker attack? Power failure? Nope, it’s OneDrive. It’s spent all night uploading to the cloud, and it’s still running. In fact, it’s got hours – probably days – still to go, and it’s hogging so much bandwidth that everything else on the network is stalled. Surprise! OneDrive has no bandwidth throttle. It uses 100% of your network, so say goodbye to email, web browsing, video streaming, and everything else. (Turns out, OneDrive will allow you to limit upload/download bandwidth, but it’s not turned on by default.)"

That's most likely because you have Comcast or some other crappy broadband provider with plans like "150mbps down/10mbps up."

This is how all marketing works, though? You create a message that focuses on certain facts (proof points) that paint you in the best possible light (although, I'm not sure how much credit I should give Amazon for not breaking the law and paying minimum wage...)

I'm still not seeing why Amazon should be commended for what they're doing here, it's just form of social media marketing.

No. Economies aren't even close to matching the concept of a zero-sum game. By definition they don't match the concept of a zero-sum game. Need more information? I suggest you read up on what a production possibility frontier (PPF) is. [1]

Technology invalidates the very idea of a zero-sum economy. If tomorrow we reach a breakthrough in fusion energy and are able to deliver all the energy the world needs at several order of magnitudes less cost, material, and space... well then we just gave a lot and took very little -- the pie grew -- the possibilities grew. It's not zero-sum.

Listen, simply decrying "zero-sum" doesn't make an argument anymore intelligent. You must seek to understand the concept and basis underlying the words you use. Only then does their true explanatory power become accessible.

I appreciate you taking the time to explain this in more detail for me, I'm admittedly not clear on how this worker's comp stuff is supposed to be handled, thankfully I've never suffered any type of work related injury.

While I didn't mention it in my post my coworker was reassigned to less labor intensive duties once he returned to work. And from my understanding the doctor who treated him ok'd him to return to his normal duties but our direct manager had no problem with him taking longer in this less physical role.

I'm just adding this detail to paint a better picture but I think you've done a good job illustrating that this is the minimum that Amazon in required to do and they shouldn't be praised for doing what the law requires. I'm certainly not here to try and do PR for Amazon, just sharing my personal experiences.

The intention isn't so much crime and punishment as is the justification. The need to reallocate idle citizens producing no economic value is the systemic reason to high prisoner count domestically. America's prisons are largely forced labor camps recycling rebellious, able-bodied men into a working, productive labor force. One local example for me is paying californian prisoner's $1/hour to fight forest fires in the American west.

I did it the other way around; I wrote the tests within the code snippet (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17837016). I was going to remove them when rendering, but in the end I thought they might actually be helpful and clarify things, so I left the tests within the snippets.

I guess I don't understand what giving a presentation at the right level for an audience has to do with an inverted pyramid structure of a news story. In any case, it's only some journalism. Mostly straight news in newspapers.

And the motivation was partly practical. Inverted pyramid lets an editor cut a story at a more or less arbitrary point in order to fit it in a hole of particular size on a page. This is/was particularly true of wire service copy.
> That's a slippery slope leading towards a culture where nothing ever gets done because all the senior engineers default to saying "no" to everything, which isn't a place people want to work and probably isn't great for the longterm outlook of the company.

No, and thinking in absolutes like this is what green lights extreme flexibility exposed to the public internet.

In general, all query possibilities from the public internet should be accountable and eagerly tested/auditable. And don't let complaints about stodgy seniors or flexibility make you do otherwise, development efficiency and tight public internet predictability are not mutually exclusive.

Again, to put it simply, it is very rare to need extreme flexibility in publicly accessible APIs. And articles like this one foolishly refuse to make that clear. In the meantime, super flexible data access schemes are lauded for their help to client side developers, scary. The org can be tightly integrated, don't let the ridiculous idea of having some devs not allowed to do any server side code force these loose-lipped systems on your users.

I don't think this is accurate (in the US), and very dangerous advice if you are wrong.

Not only does it contradict every post-hire training I've ever sat through, but Martha Stewart didn't go to prison for the fun of it-- she was a recipient of insider information three or four degrees removed from the source. It was very much illegal for her to use other people's insider information.

The standing definition is that if you are trading on knowledge not available to the public regardless of how it was sourced or laundered, it's insider trading. I'd genuinely like to see any references you have that can attest to this more lenient interpretation-- it seems entirely self-defeating.

That's cool that you've found a way to test the code that's embedded in your docs. Google has infrastructure for inserting code from a GitHub repo into docs [1] but I haven't heard of anyone extracting the code from the docs and testing it.

One thing that you might want to look into is conditionally displaying parts of the code. For example, suppose that for a given doc, you only need to display one line of code. But to get the code runnable, you need to put in some boilerplate. There should be a way to only display the one line of relevant code.

// START_EMBED
fetch("example.com");
// END_EMBED

// Boilerplate infrastructure that the user doesn't need to see.
new Test().run();

One advantage of the Google approach is that you write the code once, but can insert code one line at a time into the doc. For example, suppose you start off with the full code sample.

const service = new Service();
service.init();
service.doStuff();
service.terminate();

But then you want to discuss the first line:

const service = new Service();

Then the second, and so on. The Google markup looks something like this:

// START_FULL
// START_CONSTRUCTOR
const service = new Service();
// END_CONSTRUCTOR
// START_INIT
service.init();
// END_INIT
service.doStuff();
service.terminate();
// END_FULL

And then to embed a certain snippet into each doc you just do something like this:

{% includecode "https://github.com/.../code.js" snippet="FULL" %}

I remember the guy who broke into a Facebook server then used the information stored on that server to get onto a more important server with user data.

I'd certainly say it's wise to be suspicious of any posts praising a company by current employees, and my posts are no exception. It would probably add more wight to my comments if I posted from my normal account but I don't feel comfortable doing that when talking about my employer, the potential risk for me isn't worth it. With that being said hopefully my comments don't come off quite as unashamedly positive and corporate as those Twitter accounts, which sound pretty over the top to me.
The government asserts this but would it actually stand up to a constitutional challenge by a US citizen?

Another question is when a non-citizen officially becomes a "US person" with full constitutional rights. If that person never leaves the 100 mile radius, are they never a US person?

While I am excited that alternative I've treatment options are being explored for depression and PTSD I wonder if we will ever find alternatives for diseases like schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. I have schizoaffective disorder myself and while I haven't hit any bad side effects from my antipsychotics yet I do worry about diabetes and tardive dyskinesia a lot. Of course I expect these alternative treatments to carry their own risks, but I am hopeful we can find treatments with fewer.
There are no rules preventing them from doing this. I've seen far more (still legal) egregious astroturfing, like corporations funneling money into shell companies with vague names that campaign against soda tax etc.
Important view. Implies that the gap is that we're making developers responsible for security but without accountability for the consequences of a breach - where the people with the accountability in the event of one are shielded from responsibility for mitigation because they've pushed it down the stack to said people who can't actually hold millions of dollars of accountability.

The obvious threat scenarios above are examples of things product managers typically don't think about, but developers assume someone must have understood and decided. I'm trying to ascertain if this gap is a broad problem, or just a dark pattern in organizations that could be by design:)
> Or to put it another way, the ROI of investing additional time into raising your children remains high as you go from spending 5 minutes a day up to 1,000 minutes a day.

Do you mean ROI for the parent (satisfaction of spending time with your child) or for the child? It seems counter-intuitive but I believe a lot of research has shown that upbringing actually doesn't matter too much, provided you meet a certain obvious threshold (giving them proper food, not abusing them, etc)

Venturing a guess -- there's either some X% accuracy standard required by the government for who-knows-what reason, or it's for red light cameras and ticketing systems.

"Ironically, the biggest concern with red-light camera systems is that they are so precise. They measure a driver’s speed and exact location within a fraction of a second — but do not leave any wiggle room for the errors of traffic signals such as inconsistent yellow light times"[0]

If there's not an accuracy threshold for safety reasons, there's gotta be one when traffic ticketing revenue is on the line (also I guess determining fault at accidents, vehicular manslaughter cases, etc.)

The cost of living near jobs rises because we've run out of the cheat that the Interstate highway system provided: access to 'reasonably' close areas without resource competition for living space.

Instead we're seeing rising costs of living without substantively rising earnings squeeze the general population as rent seeking and logical (but probably not actual) collusion result in the non-property-owning classes being turned in to modern day serfs who rent everything and have no place they 'own'.
The .NET CLR and core C# runtime libraries are really nice to work with. But things become somewhat Microsoft-y (that is, nice-looking but amazingly half-assed in the most unexpected ways) when you start to do things like writing GUIs.
Ada does, and has better and more clear conventions for "unsafe" programming (pointer arithmetic, conversions, etc) but does it naturally without special keywords and esoteric conventions through its package system. Too bad no one will ever give it a chance due to is syntax :(

Here's the motion: https://regmedia.co.uk/2018/08/23/lazojamotion.pdf

A few interesting aspects:

* Lazoja is suing over the data, not (just) the physical device (Her phone was already returned to her.) Also, she is making additional arguments that the duration of retention for both the device and the data on it are unreasonable. I hope at least one of these claims succeeds; even if warrantless border searches are permissible, retaining hdd/sdd dumps should not be allowed.

* The motion mentions several times that the device contained persona, private information including "pictures of her in a state of undress, as well as privileged communications with her counsel". She requested all data (and especially this data) be deleted and the response was radio silence.
It really does depend, any code, especially bad code, is very rarely bug free.
So if you ever need to fix a bug the amount of time you will need to spend and revenue you might lose during the time might be worth the refactor beforehand
In my experience, software or product development is never really "done"
Customers, users and business will ask for new features and change of old features, external dependencies and used services will change, hardware will change
Not being able to move fast enough, train new engineers and adjust to changing requirements will have a cost
If I can't trust my codebase not to break on any new change it will be much much harder and more time consuming ie expensive to maintain it

This is not applicable to every piece of code and roi should always be kept in mind but I'm my experience it is almost always the case
I have a hard time thinking of a policy of killing off the excess babies as "flexible". Kind of the opposite, actually.

Worse, because it's totally unnecessary.
My frontend builds fail because of trailing commas in the code (by design, so technically a non-issue). At the same time, my editors can balance parens but they can't really do anything but complain about trailing commas. It can't assume it's an issue and "fix" it because I just might not be done writing, yet. My editor can make more and safer assumptions about paren balancing, however, and so it does.

I really have no horse in this race, neither of these things bother me. I just can't help but notice that the paren problem in particular can be easily rectified.
I live in the US. Some university education is absurdly expensive. In-state tuition at state universities is downright reasonable, especially for part-time students. If you're taking 8 years to finish a degree you can potentially just pay out of pocket depending on your job. I just ran the numbers for my closest state school and taking 9 credits a semester for two semesters a year (7 year graduation plan for 120 credits) you're looking at $536/mo in tuition and fees. Do a lot of parents without college degrees have $550/mo in extra cash floating around? Probably not, but this is assuming that you're basically paying as you go. If you can only save $350/mo and you save up for a couple years you'll be able to start going. My only point is that the longer you spread out tuition the easier it is to pay out of pocket, and the less likely you are to need financial aid in the first place, especially if you are focused primarily on getting an economical degree from a reasonably-priced institution.
