Look at how they are structured.

Most corporations have a Council of Elders who advise the Glorious Chief. The Council can technically depose the Chief, but this is extremely rare.

The Chief has a Central Executive Committee which is responsible for establishing and ordering policies. Politics is strictly limited to Committee members fighting among themselves and attempts to influence, bribe and convince the Committee members that certain plans should go forward at the expense of others. If the Council of Elders executes the Chief, it is usually a Committee member who they select to step up.

Large Corporations grow by dominating other Corporations through economic warfare and forcing them into starvation, invading and absorbing them, or, most insidiously, subverting their Council Elders and launching a coup.

Alternate.de, Amazon.de,… no idea how it is for the US equivalents, but on German sites I regularly see information about how bad or good the shipping was. Seriously? You are reviewing the product, not the store, your review is literally useless.
It would have the same due-dilligence requirements as any webshop and validate your payment method (which could be any method, like iDeal, and even credit card, where the payment processor doesn't get to see the exact order details, but a 'proxied order').

You are right about the privacy guarantee, but there is the issue of trust in any business transaction. Why am I using ProtonMail/VPN? Because they have privacy + security as their primary USP and it is reflected in their business (transparency, privacy policies, compliance, certification, etc.). They work hard to earn and keep my trust, and I pay them to do just that.

I am no expert but probably you can let your company be audited by some trusted party on adherence to privacy promises and prove that you comply.

Having that they can keep my data in storage for as long my government requires by law.

I can't imagine many use cases where $1.44/hr is a significant cost.

If you sell audiobooks, then a one off cost of a few dollars to convert the book to audio form is tiny compared to the authorship of the text.

If you are doing something like turn by turn navigation, clips are typically only a few seconds long, so very cheap, and again, many of your users will be needing the same clip, so no need to pay for it twice.

Even HN falls to it's knees in the presence of an internet quiz and the opportunity to show off a score.

Here's an unpopular opinion: such applications aren't going to trivialize art.

Like competitive sports, art is all about display of human ability under constraints. This is why even in the age of photographs, we still value hand-painted canvases. Such techniques are simply going to make people more discerning between real effort v/s automated means of generating the same outcome.

Rather than thinking AI-assisted style transfers are the end of art, we should think that these are new tools for artists to do even more interesting stuff. See this upcoming tool for example: https://runwayml.com/

When you say "explicitly", do you mean you announce to the whole organization that this is your process? That in order for them to have something delivered they are required to request it twice? Are you actually telling people upfront that their first request will be effectively ignored? Or do you mean that you tell the org there's one version of the process but you are clear with yourself (and/or perhaps, your superiors) that you will actually carry out a second, undisclosed process.

Perhaps you're not filtering out requests on the basis of need, but on the ability of some individuals over others to figure out the unwritten rules and choose to play your game.
Unfortunately, you'll find it rather annoying to pay for a rental car. If you use a debit card, they'll pull an additional €250 deposit, which you won't get back until you return the car.

If you pay by credit card, it just goes through without having to pay the deposit. It's one of the reasons why I begrudgingly got a Mastercard, and also for the travel insurance.

That's basically all I use it for, though. I think there's some additional electronics insurance or something, but the basic warranties here are pretty good already.

I'm not the original poster, but I'll respond (disclaimer: I'm a single male, about to turn 30 in a few months, who lives near Silicon Valley):

1. Single men vastly outnumber single women in Silicon Valley due to the unfortunate gender demographics of the tech industry, making for a very competitive dating environment for single men.

2. Due to the Bay Area's high housing prices, single people living in the Bay Area who are not Bay Area natives tend to be highly-paid young professionals. These people tend to be driven, ambitious, and have very high dating standards. There's nothing wrong with having high standards, but it makes the dating scene more difficult since you have to work on meeting those standards in order to be successful with the dating scene. It seems like a man has to be in excellent physical shape, make a ton of money, and have the right pedigree in terms of degrees and credentials in order to be attractive in Silicon Valley since there are so many young professional single men in this area.

3. There's a big problem with "flaking" in the Bay Area, where some people have a bad habit of standing people up on dates and other social outings. This has happened to me, and it is very rude and inconsiderate, especially with the busy schedules that many people in Silicon Valley have, as well as the traffic.

4. This is probably my most controversial point, but despite the Bay Area's reputation as a politically progressive place, ethnic minorities seem to have a harder time dating than non-minorities. This matters to me since I'm black, a rarity in Silicon Valley. While the statistics on this page from OkCupid (https://theblog.okcupid.com/race-and-attraction-2009-2014-10...) are not confined to the Bay Area, based on my personal experience and on empirical research I've done by reading other sites regarding the dating scene in the Bay Area, it is a problem here.

To be frank, while I enjoy Silicon Valley's career opportunities, the high cost of living and the difficulties I've experienced dating here make me want to research some alternatives, although as a lifelong Californian (but not a Bay Area native), I'm a bit apprehensive about leaving the state since I enjoy California's diversity and weather. I've thought about Tokyo, which I've lived before as an intern and absolutely loved, but it would be a massive cut in salary.
It is a good read, and not too long. Recommended.
I always wonder : are they people paid to actually ask programmers to implement that (obviously, yes) and who think that is a perfectly reasonable thing to do ? Second question : is this socially acceptable or is it just me who thinks it's despicable (hence, by egocentric generalisation, socially unacceptable)

A VPN is point-to-point. You fire up the client on your laptop and connect to a server. That server is usually also acting as a bridge into a network. It gives your machine a presence into that other well defined network.

ZeroTier is an overlay network. What is does it create a new encrypted network, with it's own address space and everything, on which you can connect through the controller (a default one is provided by ZeroTier). It doesn't matter where the nodes are. If it detects that two nodes are on the same LAN it's going to route the traffic directly. The overlay network is encrypted all the time, even when it goes over your LAN.
If I'm understanding you right, what you're suggesting is that the individual silicon modules will be fixed, but they will be contected in a single package in lot's of different ways.

If that's correct I'd love to see the cost of making the trip between the modules. I've got to imagine the cost of that is just huge. The interconnect is also crazy - it's easy to do complex routing tasks on silicon at high performance. I don't know how you acheive that in a scalable fashion between silicon.
The same argument was made about the Mona Lisa when copies of it began appearing in books and newspapers and such. Instead of obsolescence, it made Da Vinci’s work more popular than ever.
Data was always subject to different rules in different regions. Collation and correlation has a multiplier effect. With negative repercussions for privacy, dissent and democracy.

The whole approach of of trying to 'normalize' surveillance is questionable. Since this is a discussion forum for individuals how does this benefit the individual? It reeks of hand waving and apologism.

Some people are making money from being creepy and polluting the commons. This is no different from polluting the environment you exist in that sustains you for personal benefit. We now recognize and do not allow that kind of destructive greed. How is invasive surveillance any different?

The skills you pick up from even attempting these things are probably the biggest reason for doing it. And bragging rights maybe?
How many of those are improperly parked?
I entirely agree with you. It's one thing for computers/AI to emulate the creative work that humans have already achieved, essentially copying, or porting, or manipulating prior art, but it's something else entirely to genuinely create something new and fresh and connects with people emotionally, and I have yet to see any evidence that AI is close to this.

Thanks. I could have googled that, I know. But I was rather expecting the article to make some argument. It did quote BlackRock about standing for "shareholder value", whatever that is.

There's a difference between an old version where everybody know about the vulnerabilities because they were patched, and a new version where pretty much nobody knows any vulnerability (otherwise they would have been patched).
1. LLVM has at several built-in GC strategies and hooks to BYO: https://llvm.org/docs/GarbageCollection.html#built-in-gc-str...

2. Go does not have "a powerful GC", it has a GC built quite specifically for it and the applications it's intended to support with low-latency, middling throughput, and the assumption that allocations are long-lived (because short-lived objects don't escape and thus don't get heap-allocated)

3. Which is the issue of providing generic GC strategies: the type of GC you want and how you want to tune it is very much a factor of the language's semantics and its intended use cases, hence the official JVM shipping with something like half a dozen different GCs, and third-party JVMs having their own with their own tradeoffs
MATTEL and TOYOTA are the most difficult ones IMO. I got Toyota right because the non-circular O's in the Arial variant just look wrong to me.
I think Costa does more normal teas and coffees rather than milkshakes or whatever you're referring to.
I’m kind of surprised post-sales tax nexus Amazon hasn’t bought a coffee chain yet. Starbucks might be too big to do comfortably, but a combination of some higher end local brands (Intelligentsia, Philz, etc) aggregated into some overarching metabrand would be interesting. Let the cafes run everything as they have, with infinite capital available, and focus on providing additional value added services on premise (obviously lockers but maybe some next-gen amazon services).

Philz would almost make sense if they could put 1Gbps connectivity into AWS and specifically base the performance of the deal on AWS signups.

How hard is it to come up with a object format (more like a data structure format since I wouldn't want logic/code being passed around) and then come up with a standard text serializer for it? Not that hard, in my opinion.

You'd standardize it once via an RFC and you'd be done with it.

I don't think your problem is as big as you say it is.

The real problem is that this pile of code we already have kind of works and it's already making trillions for its users. Changing the whole ecosystems would cost millions and millions, for only a very long term and unclear benefit.

In other words, worse is better.
Get out of software. Not software developing, just the software business.

There are lots of industries that are far more sane, but that still need developers. Try looking for a government job for example. Or within fields like logistics, transport, insurance or civil engineering. There a tons of programming opportunities out there that have nothing in common with web based startups. Working on an in-house app for a large logistics company might sound 'sexy', but it can offer a decent wage a stable working situation and far more sane working hours. And the truth is there are lots of genuinely interesting problems to be solved within a lot boring industries. Also you might have to accept you'll be working with some weird in-house COBOL dialect.
Everyone is always acting game-theoretically optimally. A top-down authoritarian doesn't get his powers from a deity; there was a coordinated effort of a decentralized group of people to get him there and sustain him. He, or whoever pushed to get him in charge, was that anyone trying to improve the situation. No reason the same mechanism can't act to make other changes to the status quo.
The sharpie thing might actually be someone trying to "reserve" a scooter for themselves. (Take a picture of the code before making it unreadable, then the scooter always stays wherever they left it.)
What are the hardest programming languages you have ever learned?
Dunno about US, but in Europe all banks are like that. They know the work is frustrating and boring (they almost never want to rebuild stuff from scratch, so you end up building on decades-old layers of undocumented crap - COBOL etc.) , so they compensate with good pay and low expectations.
It goes in cycles. If there's a good article from a new or irregular (for HN) site, you'll see a lot more articles from thast site show up on the frontpage.

Why should people not complain if they feel the next higher product tier is a rip-off? You could buy two seats at twice the price to get some more space to spread yourself over, but that's obviously not ideal. Some people are asking for something better, but airlines might not be aware of consumer demand (or ignore it because they want to sell their higher tier seats, which many people can't afford, though).
And that's one of the reasons Germans prefer cash.

No, worst-case complexity of real quicksort is always O(n^2), regardless of pivot choice strategy (even with stochastic pivot choice, although you’d have to get very unlucky to hit that worst case). You can make the average case better or worse though.

The only way of making quicksort’s worst-case runtime O(n log n) is by limiting recursion depth, as done e.g. in introsort. But that’s no longer quicksort.
You're making it sound as though people are only allowed to be creative during work hours.
