Gave you an upvote since you where downvoted, but I think we'll be better off if we are a bit more nuanced.

I too think it is bad when people refuse to listen to each other but there might still be reasons to filter at server level, I can think of 2 somewhat reasonable ones just now that doesn't have to do with censorship.

The best estimate I can find for that is around 10%, which is also about the same percentage of people who have never left the UK.
No, but valgrind will tell you.
> There's a reason casino cage cashiers don't make minimum wage despite it being a low skill job, and it's not out of the goodness of their hearts.

Not sure that is even the primary reason.

Could also be:

- Paying more attracts a higher level of employee with a more professional image (which yes matters even if someone is cashing in chips). In other words you are assuming they also don't pay the proverbial janitor a higher salary than they could get away with. After all, all else equal, if you were doing that job wouldn't you rather work in a nice building cleaning up rather than a older building or situation? Even for the same or close to low pay you were able to get elsewhere? And if this is the case why wouldn't employees still be stealing left and right. They aren't.

- Require a higher intelligence level that is more likely in a higher paid worker. That way less likely to be able to con the cashier or take advantage of them.

Also no surprise that people steal at all levels of income and in all situations. It's like when people wonder why some famous and successful person (with money) takes their own life. They say 'wow they have everything'. If that were true and a reason not to kill yourself then you'd expect people with no money to be taking their own lives left and right. And obviously that is not happening.
The switching between iOS and Mac is indeed buggy. macOS also lacks system-wide support for airplay 2. I think they must be dealing with legacy code and/or support that needs modernized. Switching between iOS and iPad with AirPods doesn’t give people issues, so I don’t think it’s a problem with AirPod hardware or iOS.

I don't have answer to you question, just a few notes about another low cost proder - Hetzner:
* They have RAID by default
* They have private network included now (vSwitch)

Drawbacks from my expirience:
* You have to monitor hardware by yourself (SMART, CPU and HDD temperature) and requests checks if you suspect hardware failure
* Decreased flexibility (curretly Hetzner have limited cloud support, but it's very limited). Probably doesn't matter for most startups.
* More manual work for administration (provided services are more low level)
This is how much VCs are paid ($634,000)
I base this on the experience of my wife and young kids trying them out. I love biking and do it all the time, but they don’t. To me biking feels glued to the road. To them it feels like sitting on a wobbly rail. When they tried the scooters the first time it was like a revelation, “wow this is so easy!”

So, anecdotal, but I’ve heard this from others as well.
The main differentiator that is probably responsible for this decision: "Qwant is also a Brave Verified Publisher" (from the blog post).
How likely is that you can join a company like Google and how likely is that you can join a startup? Statistically, you should join Google as it's a one off experience that probably no other companies can offer you.

It is painfully obvious that Apple removed the jack not because it was the right choice but because it lets them sell more accessories. Discussions about this choice should be framed in that perspective. It was a user hostile decision.
Typical bashing of physicians in line with most NYT articles or stories general themes such as:

a) They get paid to much

b) They don't do their jobs as well as they should

c) Health care is to damn expensive

d) They should magically know what they have not been taught to do.

e) They are stupid, we, writers are smart. The public thinks it is smart so let's reinforce this point of view to sell our stories.

f) We expect 100% from them and when they make a mistake we will write an article to point out the outliers.

g) We will cut the time they get to spend with patients and give them loads of paperwork and still expect them to perform to out liking.

AWS/GC/Azure have many different services well-known APIs/SKDs, which are like Lego to build products quickly. So if all you need is hosting for a webapp, you aren't taking full advantage of the offering. Then providers like DigitalOcean/Linode/OVH can definitely make sense. Heroku isn't quite like either of these, but another option if you want even less ops work.

Anyway, those legos also give you a certain future-proofing. Even with normal growth, it's easy to outgrow environments, and provider migrations/cross-provider apps are a pain.
Then they can’t afford google talent. Short of pay they’d have to offer some other compelling narrative (e.g. HBO’s SV “changing the world through algorithms”). In essence it’s a trick to give up their economic advantage.

I'd be interested to see an analysis for a typical startup of when managing your own infrastructure becomes less expensive than managed services from cloud providers. I'd imagine it has to be pretty high considering most startups don't rush to leave AWS even after becoming massive.
This. If people wanted to manage dumb boxes it would be a no-brainer, but there's a crap ton of value add on managed services
Where do you think it originated then?
There are all kinds of good and valid business reasons why, and all kinds of good and perhaps valid counterarguments to those reasons. None of which are the real answer. The real answer is that the CEO/CTO/CxO doesn't want to have to think about these things, or getting expertise in-house for these things. They want it to be like electricity or water; something they have to pay for, but don't have to think about. Whether or not that's what really happens is irrelevant; it's what they think will happen, and to be honest it is what often happens. Even if they're paying more $$, they paying less in mental bandwidth, and never have to worry about whether they have (retained or retrained) sufficient in-house talent to maintain it. That's the real reason.
OVH is not typically seen as a big provider in the US but has a nice euro footprint. So some of it is branding and marketing. I used to work with most of the American leadership at OVH and know for a fact that they view the next couple years as an opportunity to become one of the key cloud providers in the us (along with the big 3). They see themselves as every bit as technically strong, just need to market better.
In essence we've been there for a while, since before Mastodon was even a thing in fact. Remember how, a few weeks ago, Wil Wheaton was hounded off Mastodon by folks accusing him of transphobia? That was because he promoted a trans woman's prominent, widely-advertised anti-GamerGate blocklist that - much like all such blocklists - included people she disagreed with, some of whom were trans, and a bunch of Hollywood folks apparently copied it. Twitter has an entire feature designed to enable this kind of blind mass-blocklisting.
The one thing keeping me from switching is the lack of command classes[0]. I want to be able to chain bindings, so "^a s a" does "ssh server-a", and "^a s b" does "ssh server-b".

People keep telling me that tmux is better (though I still don't understand why), but I lean heavily on chained bindings and haven't found a solution in tmux.

Add to this the fact that, in practice, you can't really listen to high-res audio over Bluetooth.

(I am aware that audio quality has gotten better over time but you still rely on the specs of the Bluetooth chip on both sides which, in practice, usually means that you're still far away from lossless transmission.)

Is it perhaps possible that your priorities might not find a reflection in all hearts?

Many people do not regard the time, energy, and resources that go into the logistics of managing many vendors to be good investments for them. This can be compared to distributed computing, somewhat distributed manufacturing, distributed government, and diversified financial portfolios. Each of the items you so correctly, wisely, and rightly point to comes with significant cost efficiencies and significant energy in reducing any inefficiencies introduced.

I know a great many people who appreciate very high-quality meat of the sort you describe. The number who are willing to invest significantly into the personal logistics required to obtain it could potentially be a somewhat smaller number. To say nothing of the price premium generally demanded by such a specialist, or the impact this might have on household budgets with limited flexibility.

It's worth thinking about why department stores might have became popular, long ago, displacing a series of highly specialized expert vendors. It's perhaps even possible that an analogy of a distributed computer system might lead a lesser intellect than yours astray.
Bluetooth's implementation complexity contributes to the high cost of its peripherals

Also (at least for Sennheiser) the non-bluetooth (2.4ghz) wireless headphones are pretty stellar. Personally I prefer that approach over Bluetooth
Before moving to GCP we actually did experiment with putting some of our services on a VPS at OVH as well as other providers to see how well they would handle our traffic. The issue we had with OVH specifically was that whenever traffic got high they thought there was an attack in place and automatic firewalls went up that took us down for hours at a time. Upon contacting support we were told "After looking into the matter, it would seem that our VPS do not have a profile that would accomodate your traffic spikes"

We've never had an issue like this after moving to GCP.
This is just my opinion, but I believe that the whole notion of being more futuristic is also being fully wireless. And partially removing the headphone jack is just part of the move to a full wireless future.

Someone just had to be the first to introduce it to the mainstream, I’m fairly certain that it will be widely accepted in a few years.

I’m also a vegan. There wasn’t any singular reason that led me to this resolution, but many factors. For instance, I probably wouldn’t be alive if it weren’t for modern medicines use of animals. But that’s more of a survival issue than killing an animal because it’s protein is preferable to a plants. To an extent, I realized how little enjoyment I got out of eating meat compared to the suffering animals face. I read of the health benefits of going first vegetarian and ultimately vegan. Why eat cholesterol if I don’t have to eat it?

Having said that, there is often a benefit to plants from human cultivation - but it’s not an absolute benefit. Our love of fruit results in their trees/plants being cared for by humans. Many of the plant products we eat don’t result in the death of the plant. If those plants could speak I think they’d thankful of their caretakers. Sure we’re not planting most of their seeds, but they do have a maintained population.

I wish no animals ever suffered at the hands of humans. This world is full of beauty, and it’s awful that so much of human activity results in life’s death and extinction - including deforestation for crops.
Once a startup has seed funding it can typically get a ton of free credits from AWS using their "activate" program. Depending on the company this can be anywhere from $15k to $250k in AWS credits (although $100k seems to be the most common).

I'm using tmux myself for persistent shells on remote machines (mostly irc), but not much otherwise. Lots of people and guides make it sound like it's also very useful when you're working locally. Can someone enlighten me what tmux can do for you in this case that people are so excited about it?
'Neutron stars'... this is not about Electric Potetial Energy so that link is pointless.
Because EC2 is not the only service that you'll use. Having services such as SQS, RDS, EBS, and Route53 all available and integrated into the VPC and access controlled via IAM is incredibly valuable.

External tools such as Terraform and Kubernetes already supports AWS. For smaller hosting providers this is usually not the case.
> This only happened after Apple and friends tried putting DRM

That wasn’t Apple’s choice, to get the rights to the music, they had too. Once they were a juggernaut in the space, they successfully forced the music industry to change. I’m still waiting for that to happen with movies and tv shows, but I’m unoptimistic it’ll happen any time soon.
It seems vanishingly unlikely that a plant could experience pain. To the best of our knowledge, you need a brain of some sort to experience anything. Even that may not be sufficient: an unconscious human doesn't appear to experience pain.

You could argue that plants may have some unknown structure that allows them to experience pain or other phenomena, but that's no very useful. You could argue the same about rocks. It's impossible to prove a negative.
And for the small percentage of people who care about these things, use the included adapter.

As for me, I’ve had the earphone jacks in two if my iPhones go wonky on me. I fully realise few other people have this problem and it’s almost certainly down to me being a bit careless inserting and remove the jack, but still it happens. So I just got a set of lighting earbuds. Never had a problem since. It seems to be a much more robust and reliable connector. So on two of my phones with headphone sockets, I ended up not using them anyway.
That was a really good write up on tmux. I have used tmux for years but use it simply, every few months looking up something on DuckDuckGo as needed.
I think there is a widespread understanding that nosing into customer data will get you fired from Google immediately.

There was a case the other year that the media picked up so I read about it.

As for why they don't usually talk about it might be because (examples):

- they don't want people to think about how much data they have

- saying: "we punish people who abuse their positions" indirectly hints that this is happening. Why would there be such a policy if that couldn't happen?

- (guessing) aren't really the brightest ones when it comes to marketing and PR. So far they've been saved by having products thats sells themselves.
Hi Doreen, I simply stated "what you failed to understand" because you posed the theory that I was either a troll or "failing to understand" (your words) that my post offended people.

Yes I've admitted that the content of my post may have offended some people. The issue I'm raising is that that shouldn't matter. What matters is if I was using openly rude, disrespectful, or antagonistic behavior. My original comment did none of that and was in good faith and was meant to provide an interesting sociological take on a current event.

I don't want a megaphone or a soap box for the random scientific studies I reference on this forum. I simply do not want to be censored for citing data with which people disagree. If I was intentionally being rude or disrespectful then I would understand the censorship, since that is verbal assault, but that is not the case here. I will not self-censor for the sake of upvotes. I'm a respectful adult who believes in liberalism, free inquiry, and civil discussion, no other conditions need apply. If the HN mods disagree then it can't be honestly claimed that this a forum that stands for free inquiry and civil discussion.

People can’t hear in some cases, especially as I work with people from all over the world and English is often a second language. You need to be 100% clear, consistently without failure.

We’ve had telephones for over 100 years so I don’t think it’s too much to ask.
It seems to me that AI is more plant than animal, and the specific biological response mechanisms that plants use have explanatory power toward understanding and communicating about AI in a more productive way than the popular conception of GAI as sentient.
Why would Google want to spread the usage of BASIC? From an engineering perspective, this is an interesting project to work on, but I can't find a reason for Google to publish it. I also don't think that BASIC is a good learning tool nowadays. I'm not the only one who thinks so. A quote by Edsger W. Dijkstra:

> It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.
Contactless Payment Systems: Credit  Cards and NFC Phones [pdf]
Plants struggle to survive and reproduce as animals do, with different strategies adapted to their circumstances. Pain is just a specific mechanism toward that end, as is sentience. Why should we privilege those mechanisms when deciding which organisms are worthy of our concern? It's as if birds decided that flight is the key feature important to determining interspecies concern. Chauvinism based on anthropoid characteristics is still chauvinism.

My point was, for very-high demand situations, sometimes tech is just not yet there to support it. And new tech either requires lots of upfront investments (like, replacement of all the existing routers) or doesn't even exist (e.g. that 5G stuff).

I don't know how high the demand is, though. It could be hitting the ceiling, or it could be nowhere near that (and issues could have a different cause).
