It is somewhat ironic that Google is probably more privacy focused and has better security than any other company in the fortune 500 and yet they seem to get some of the most negative criticism here.
Dunno if it is still the case, but trains used to offer that as well.
You could at least work on that site/app/comic/book you've always wanted to put together.

Can you support your claim with evidence?
> That's why I find the aggregated professional movie reviews on Rotten Tomatoes more helpful than the crowd-sourced reviews on IMDB.

Wow really? I stopped using RT and moved to IMDB, because critic reviews on RT are so bad.
This was a pretty interesting read, and something I've often wondered about. I remember when LeBron James joined the NBA. It just baffled me at the time how some 18 year old high schooler could be so much better than professional players, players who've played day in and day out for _years_. Hours of deliberate practice didn't seem to be an adequate explanation.

DeepL is a good alternative to Google Translate, though it is quite a bit more limited in terms of features and languages. I often find DeepL translations to be of higher quality than Google's (for the 2-3 languages I regularly translate between).
Hope he/she has got none.
Yes it is. Personally, I dislike tracking and don't mind disparaging Google for it - but I think in this case reporting like this manages to miss the heart of the problem and mischaracterize the situation.

As for a PhD, don't you need a masters degree and a topic you feel strongly enough about to spend years dwelling on it? It's not that I don't know what to do with myself, but rather that I don't know how to live my life without playing the rat race.

I'm glad there are articles like this and people out there trying to figure out what it really takes to build a great dev team. Still, after all this time trying to find the equation for getting into that magical state I call "the groove" is insanely difficult. It could be compared to a band that put out a really great first album but needs that same energy for another one. I've spent a lot of time around professional musicians and their struggles mirror development ironically. Once I saw 1/2 of a band audition two studio musicians and hit a groove then mint two contracts for a tour in about the span of 30 minutes. That was magical and that was rare- dev teams sort of operate the same way and sometimes when no one is looking that groove happens.
You sound like a good candidate to be a freelancer. Decide your own hours, mostly your own terms and take breaks whenever you want. Only problem is that you have to learn to sell a lot more than what you do as a regular job candidate.

"I only like to stay for a year or less at a given place and then quit "

This is going to start looking bad after a while for full-time jobs. It is perfectly ok if you are freelancing though.

"I have no interest in becoming a lead or a senior dev"

Yep, call yourself whatever you want and get shit done for clients. No titles.

> I had completely forgotten about what a scourge pop-ups used to be

Used to be? IME they still are, just not as bad as they used to be. If you go browse a few adult video sites (for science) you'll see pop-up/unders are still a thing. Even on chrome you'll see a variation of them, making the current tab the ad after the user has opened the link in a new one. Instead of webgl, webasm, etc I'd love to see a browser vendor focus on making a good browser again.

It's also hard to take their privacy promises seriously when they've got google analytics embedded in their blog.
That's not correct. California's housing stock falls into something closer to the US median. The oldest housing stock in the US is in the North East and Midwest (which tends to be well insulated for Winter purposes). Those regions saw large waves of high population expansion and housing development previously (50+ years ago), which put down an unsurprisingly large base of housing stock.

California's development by contrast has overwhelmingly occurred in the last 50-60 years (their population has increased four fold since 1950, from ~10m to ~40m today). Compare that to Ohio, which has seen a nearly flat population for coming up on 50 years. New York State's population has only slightly increased in 50 years.

The newest housing stock is in the Idaho/Nevada/Arizona region, Texas and the South East (Florida to North Carolina).

The US generally - and much of California - also aggressively uses air conditioning (central or otherwise) and has for a long time, which has further spurred efforts toward maximizing insulation.
There is a reason the F-22 isn't being sold to allies and the F-35 is.
I remember someone claiming a few years ago that if you type Egypt or Middle East in different parts of the world, you are shown different results. Some vacation related, some politics related. Unfortunately I can't find it.

What you call meddling in your affairs is simply Americans being shown what their nation, in their name does to others.

The boot is on the other foot this time. The party at the other end is a super power that has learned from previous downfalls and is trivially exploiting weaknesses within American polity and society at a cost of next to nothing to themselves and plenty of plausible deniability.
"Doctors are not scientists." This is more of a key insight than most people appreciate. There are some doctors who are scientists (e.g. researcher-clinicians). Having asked many average members of the public "would you consider a doctor to be a scientist?" it's not intuitive for them to answer No.

As someone involved in translating something from the leading edge of research right now, if you speak to straight up practicing Oncologists you have to do a lot of education in terms of bringing them up to speed in the field. We have found researcher-clinicians are easier to speak to and engage with as they are in touch with experimentation and more open minded.

One of my most downvoted HN comments was on an article where Zuckerberg struggled to name a Facebook computer.

I said: “Facebook‘s biggest competitor is the US government.”

I feel that’s even more true now, and the same comment applies to Google and Amazon. It’s not a coincidence these firms have massive lobbying efforts.
Boy, that Ask.com toolbar must be super lucrative.
That's another reason why California's housing policy is so egregious. Ceteris paribus living in California is more environment-friendly than living in the Midwest, so it's a shame that local governments' policy severely limits new construction.
It's funny that this is your take on those two reviews, because my initial reaction was exactly the opposite: I would weigh the pub review more highly. In general, I have found that people (especially Americans) tend to vastly over-exaggerate service issues at restaurants, and it's always unclear from those kinds of reviews whether this was just a one-time thing or something systemic. Plus, I'm not sure how it's possible to tell that "everyone hates their jobs" from one visit. On the other hand, someone saying that the crab cakes were "mostly batter" is a pretty objective observation about the food (you know, the most important part of going out to eat) that I can use to make my decision.

Either way though, I think we're mostly in agreement about how to find good places to eat.
Can we use the term text user interface (TUI) and not CLI for stuff talked about here. I don't like the confusion and I think TUI I'd appropriate, just because something is launched by command line doesn't make it a CLI. A CLI is good for pipes, these things are interactive post start.
Yes. That is how these things work. Anything less would be irresponsible.

I feel like we're talking past each other. I don't understand your point of view.

Let's say I'm doing a platoon-sized exercise over the course of two weeks. I've been training my platoon on some basic maneuvers like fixing and flanking, rushing machine gun nests, some patrolling, etc.

The first night, the Red platoon ambushes my Blue platoon while they're on patrol. Red platoon does a great job thinking on their feet, Blue assaulted through the ambush per doctrine and did a good job of it, but Red platoon knew the doctrine too and exploited a weakness.

Got it. Red won. However, we still need Blue to get some experience patrolling, and we definitely need them to have experience reacting to a linear ambush like they'll be facing in a couple months when we deploy. The fact that the Red team used a complex ambush with an IED and an extra machine gun oriented down the MSR is irrelevant. We still need to make sure the SOP works and that Blue can execute it. So I order Red team to use some linear ambushes to see how Blue does.

Explain to me how this is a fake test. Explain to me how this is somehow a waste of taxpayer money, or training time, or pro-Blue-platoon propaganda. Because to me it sure as heck looks exactly like what you should do in an exercise.
Are you serious right now? An F-22 "might" take out an Su-27? And the F-35 just simply wouldn't?

This isn't 1968. That was 50 years ago. Things have changed ever so slightly. Your knowledge of things seems to extend little past lines in Top Gun.
This sort of stalling is only caused by extremely short lived objects. Pooling and provisioning your data ahead of time goes a long way to fixing these specific issues to the degree that they become unnoticeable. There's a lot of tooling built into LWJGL to support this along with their own vector classes which are easily reclaimed.

It goes both ways: As you get closer to the booking time, if the rooms that the third parties have allocated aren't mostly booked, they generally start to drop prices in order to fill the inventory (I'm assuming because they have paid for the rooms in advance), whereas I have never seen a hotel do this directly. I have gotten some great deals from booking last-minute through sites like Agoda where the price was significantly lower than it would have been going through the hotel directly.

The US is currently doing a better job cutting emissions than the EU is. You're purposefully misreading the original statement which is very clear:

The US is doing a better job on _carbon reduction_.

I use the top of the browser's viewport as a transient "bookmark." That is, I read for awhile and then scroll until what I have read scrolls out of view. Now the line of text at the top of the viewport is the first line of what I have left to read.

Scrolling in most browsers is quantized to a value much greater than the line height of the text I'm reading. This means I must occasionally scroll past the part I've read and then retreat to reveal half a line or so of what I already read.

Unfortunately, all the algos that trigger new shit on a change of scroll direction disrupt my own manual adjustment algorithm. Even on a news site, a directional change in scrolling triggers some douchebag horizontal menubar that animates itself into view and obscures the next line of text I want to read. I have to scroll back down to make the douchebag menu disappear. When it disappears it reveals... a line of text which I already read!

So now my bookmarking technique is ruined because the disappearing douchebag menu is guaranteed to reveal at least a line and a half of text I already read.

I don't like this behavior because it disrupts my completely rational and reasonable behavior as a user of the browser. I am the one in charge, and if a web page tries to challenge me on that I swear to god I will copy the damn text and paste it into a contentEditable about:blank.

Then they can only sit there and dream about all the places I'm scrolling.
Note: China Airlines also has these seats, branded "Family Couch".

I think the target price for the Skycouch seat is somewhat below retail for just buying a third seat, so in that respect it's a pretty good deal if you're already flying longhaul economy with a partner. I mean, I'd flat out pay the retail price to guarantee an empty third seat in a row, and Skycouch has other benefits. That said, while it's an improvement, nobody's going to have a relaxing time trying to have two people sleep lying down on that couch unless they're tiny, and the two people better be very comfortable with close contact.

In theory you can always just reserve and buy an empty seat next to you, but ticketing and check-in procedures are mildly trickier to guarantee that it'll stay empty. I've considered it for flying longhaul solo before but these days I'd generally rather just pay the premium for an upgrade rather than gamble with nonstandard ticketing arrangements.
I'm not in my computer now, but doesn't "grep -v" solves your issue? If I remember correctly, it inverts the query, so it would return 0 if there wasn't a match.
refreshing article, i have what i consider to be a potential small business, it's not as attractive i'd assume to investors as most things these days that have something to do with blockchain, machine-learning, self-driving cars, or billion dollar valuations, but i think there's potential for a very nice business that could potentially evolve into a lifestyle business and it doesn't need hordes of employees, i've been doing everything from development of backend services, platform, and front end mobile app, to marketing, testing, product management all on my own. obviously having a couple more people to help with sales and development would speed things up, but i don't need a 50 person team at the moment.

having read this article and buffer.com's recent buyout of investors, it shows that there are potential alternate routes to success. i can understand the nature owner not feeling good in the beginning when everyone around him's talking about billion dollar valuations and series a, b, c funding, but it seems he sold for several hundred million which seems like sweet vindication. obviously most small businesses fail and eventually need some sort of funding whether from a small business loan or bootstrapping, etc, but it's manageable.

What if there are things in the way? Like... building foundations.

Then dig deeper. Given the strategies talked about by Elon Musk, the original Boring Company tunnel would have been dug to avoid those in the first place.

Stations. Access to the first tunnel.

Those wouldn't have right of way problems.

Digging two tunnels at once is going to be much cheaper and easier than digging one tunnel and then digging the second tunnel much later, especially if you never planned to dig the second tunnel.

Therefore, the logic is to dig everything you might imagine you might need, ever. Therefore tunnels are always going to be super expensive and elaborate.
Then perhaps I'm naive about how all this works. But to me there's a difference between accessing keys, and accessing funds. Are these the exact keys, in the exact format, that someone could use to access the coins? For example, if someone were to "hack" my site, and get access to hashed passwords, this would be seen as a breach, and my system would be described as insecure (which is fair), and it could cause issues for people, but getting a hashed password is not the same as getting a plain text password. Are the keys they recovered from the device the equivalent of a plain text password, or a hashed password? Let's say I create a hardware wallet that stores 2 keys (123 and 456), and it uses those two keys to create a private key by doing stuff to it. So 123 and 456 create the pk 132435. Of course this is a terrible system, and not safe at all, but my point is, accessing 123 and 456, is not the same as accessing the actual pk (132435).
Yeah - that's one of the main reasons why I haven't really focused on federal FOIA that much. It just takes too damn long. You aught to try something local - you're much more likely have a more open conversation about the records.

Also - lots of pro bono FOIA lawyers exist to help ease that burden. FOIA covers legal costs if the suit goes in your favor.

There is an interesting chapter for this in Donella Meadows thinking in Systems

Oscillations! A single step up in sales causes inventory to drop. The car
dealer watches long enough to be sure the higher sales rate is going to last.
Then she begins to order more cars to both cover the new rate of sales and
bring the inventory up. But it takes time for the orders to come in. During
that time inventory drops further, so orders have to go up a little more, to
bring inventory back up to ten days’ coverage.
Eventually, the larger volume of orders starts arriving, and inventory
recovers—and more than recovers, because during the time of uncertainty
about the actual trend, the owner has ordered too much. She now sees her
mistake, and cuts back, but there are still high past orders coming in, so
she orders even less. In fact, almost inevitably, since she still can’t be sure
of what is going to happen next, she orders too little. Inventory gets too
low again. And so forth, through a series of oscillations around the new
desired inventory level. As Figure 33 illustrates, what a difference a few
delays make!

Faster is not always better, especially in systems with delays. By reacting to initial cues prematurely you can easily end up in permanent disarray that simply turns into a chaotic feedback loop. It is often worthwile to upgrade patiently, so one can actually gauge long-term effects instead of reacting to noise. Changing the consumer experience is a conversation.
This is one I’ve read about recently :

https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/world/the_americas/us...
State is much less important to track. It’s easier to do, the real challenge is garbage collection - you need it, but you don’t want to collect too much in memory. That’s why Redis is a great tool for our edge servers.
Of all the major issues, this one is the simplest - EVs. In fact, the best EVs in the world are made right in California. It helps that EVs aren't just better for the environment, but better cars overall.

Of large cars, Tesla makes a 7 seat SUV and will make a giant truck in about 2 years. Other manufacturers will follow them 2-3 years after that.
A company is a shared endeavor--for those that own shares in it. But for most companies, most people that execute the work are not shareholders; they're just employees. The interests of employees are simply not the same as the interests of shareholders, so any company that has employees will have to deal with that. The larger the company, the more they will have to deal with it.
Yes non-tech companies have done this forever, but it was only when online tracking started that the amount of data you could collect on people exploded. And Google, Facebook etc. figured out how to monetize it much more effectively, generating the lions share of its revenues through such ads.

So IMO tech companies are well deserving of the criticism they’re facing.

Also, tech acts as a (mostly) reliable steward of this data because they can monetize it so well. If 90% of the revenues of Target came from advertising, we would probably not have had the massive leak of cc data. For most traditional businesses, this data is an additional source of revenue, not the primary one.

It had to happen someday. The fact that they let it go on for, what, most of two decades? That’s commitment to backwards compatibility.

With the new module system they can make sure that this doesn’t happen again.

I've vacationed in economy, business class, and first class, and the flight is the least memorable part of the trip -- I'd rather spend more money at the destination. For sure, a lay flat seat on a long-haul flight is fantastic compared to being strapped in a coach seat for 8+ hours, but unless I can pay for it with miles, I'd rather spend the money on a nicer hotel or longer stay (or just keep that money in my pocket)
I have a lot of miles. Over 2m at one point. Flying and affiliate credit card I use to pay for the trips. Pretty easy to knock out 10-15K a month in travel on the card, which goes direct to miles. The family trips are key as spending so much time on the road means that time is even more important. Round trip to London, round trip to Japan for 3 in business was 100K and 200K miles total for each trip (all 3 tickets) with out of pocket only like $500 and $1000 (taxes, airport fees, etc.) Key is to be flexible on time and flights and destination. I call or visit the airline office (JAL) and say, hey we want to go to London or Tokyo or Singapore or Paris between these dates, business class and are will to fly from these airports in CA. They will come back with flights on them and partners. I just pick one and go. Who cares if you have to make it from SF to LA to make the flight? It’s a cheap ticket. I cannot speak highly enough about the service level at JAL. If you have to travel for work and be away from family, it is key to maximize the return for the family. I will say traveling sucks but FaceTime and the like has made it so much better to keep in touch. I always block my schedule no matter what timezone for a call each day with my family.
