Even with recent criticisms there're really no sign that Google's business is anywhere close to dying (or shrunk at all). Their core products, the search engine, Google Map, Youtube, etc. are still best of its kind and no where close to be replaced. Yes some people are pissed off, but Google's user base is way beyond the tiny community that cares about HN, and many would continue to love Google's products.
East Wind does not use health insurance. We pay out of pocket for medical expenses to the best of our ability. For extreme major medical costs we pay into a joint major medical fund with other FEC communities to distribute such costs. The cost of paying into this was included in the health care expenses.

That fund has paid out $60k for heart surgery for a Twin Oaker, and a $45k emergency helicopter ride for an East Winder.

Taking advantage of state low-income assistance, we manage to enjoy good health care for relatively little.

I don't know the answer to your StackOverflow question as I don't use macOS/Mac OS X.

What I ended up doing to help this process along is including the relevant certificates inside my DOD Smartcard PKCS#11 module as certificate objects (with, of course, no corresponding private key objects).

For applications that use PKCS#11 (such as Firefox, via NSS), this means that when the module is loaded the appropriate certificates are also made available automatically. This was also (I believe) supported by the "TokenD" driver used to support macOS/Mac OS X so that enabling this driver made those certificates available and provided by the token, so no modifications to the local macOS system trust store were needed.
I agree and this is more or less how I have viewed them over the past few years. I would even go one step further and say they’ve almost tried to minimize human touch points from their products and overfocused on creating self-sufficient products. Exh A is how youtube has been (mis)managed.
> I thought Lauren does a good job here of distinguishing between the people who work at a company, and the emergent behavior of a company based on profit motive or other incentives.

I have always found a company to be a mirror of its CEO's personality. Think of Apple under Steve Jobs, Microsoft under Satya Nadella, and Uber under Travis Kalanick. A sense of integrity - or a lack of it - plays a huge role in how we feel about the company.
With Asymptote you specify diagrams directly in terms of low-level graphics primitives and constraints. With Penrose you specify the underlying math, then one or more separate style files are used to automatically generate diagrams based on the math. The typical user of Penrose doesn't have to know anything about graphics, and never specifies any graphical objects; instead, that knowledge is in reusable style files written by domain experts.

Why I Bid $700 for a Stolen PSN Account
+1000. Working in the warehouse at the bottom of a hospital would get weird sometimes because you had absolutely no indication what time of day it was -- working third shift could feel like the middle of the day since it was always so well lit.

In my experience, good lighting is pretty much the only thing you're guaranteed at various warehouses. Heating huge spaces effectively is basically impossible, rugs and other "soft" surfaces are out since they just wear down too quickly, equipment will be used continuously until it's simply unsafe... but you need good lighting to know what you're doing and keep yourself out of harm's way. As noted, even the parking lots and immediate exteriors will be very well lit as a physical security measure.

Bad lighting is the exact kind of thing people complain about when maligning "hot shots who think they know everything" and all those etceteras. It ends up being penny wise and dollar stupid when you factor in both logistical mistakes and pay outs to worker's comp when people injure themselves on the job. The equivalent in programming would be making all your developers use laptops from 12 years ago running Windows XP because you know someone who got you a really good deal.
Why is "Hosting" capitalized? Is it a proper noun? I don't get it.
It depends on your goals, You can have a broad sense of skills to be a full stack developer. Knowing enough front end, middlewear and backend to design a database schema build the routing api and rendering on the reach client, thats great for small teams wanting small rapid projects in a quick turn around and you'll be to find new projects all the time. The trick there is to look at other peoples projects and then see how fast you can replicate them until you're confident you can make something on your own.

On the flip side If you want to be a .net core expert in a larger team on a longer project then you'll have to dedicate more time to the backend and getting familiar with the various design patters, the trick is to prove it to whoever is interviewing. Majority of the time you'll need good team work, GIT, communication, clean coding practices and then some generalised programming concepts followed up by deeper understanding of the language. Ideally you go through books and sample projects and then work your way up to open source projects where you can demonstrate good track record of git, code, commit and commenting.

So I'm happy MongoDB is acquiring additional expertise in hosting...

... but I wish this announcement was a bit different. It says (numbers mine):

1. You will be given plenty of time to migrate, and nothing will be required of you for at least 4 months. We expect to have all customers migrated to Atlas within the next 12 months.

2. Once migrated, your Atlas database will be hosted on similar hardware and cost the same or less than your original plan on mLab.

3. We will provide tools that allow you to migrate with either minimal downtime or no downtime to your application.

I'm fine with the second point. I wish the first and third points instead read:

1. We will publish detailed migration documents by the end of 2018. No action will be required of any customer until a minimum of 9 months after that documentation has been published. We can guarantee all customers following current mLab best practices will be able to migrate with zero downtime should they so choose. As with many migrations, it may be much easier to migrate with a very small amount of downtime, rather than none. To those customers we will offer account credits for their trouble.

Getting bad commentary on geeky/nerdy HN is, almost by definition, bad communications/PR for a tech company.

Getting into too many fields and ending up all over the place is bad management.

Executives protecting their turfs may indeed be a recipe to getting bad UX, but that doesn't excuse the fact that it's bad UX or that bad UX is all over Google. If anything the latter points towards more bad management.

And as you wrote, customer service has always been bad.

In Bay Area the situation with public schools is pretty dire, in my oppinion. Palo Alto, Cupertino and Los Gatos are ok. The rest are surviving.

Housing in districts where public schools are ok comes at a massive premium. The difference between San Jose and Los Gatos is more than 300k.

Private schools are 2-3k per month.

To afford Bay Area both parents have to work 50+ hours a week with 30+ minute commutes. As a result, the time parents spend with children is very limited. Raising a famility with even 2 children is a big challenge.
> Their products aren't compelling anymore -- they're living off the momentum of prior greatness.

Not compelling relative to what? People have been saying this about Apple with respect to the original iPhone X (which sold a very large amount), the Apple Watch, and even the iPad which they managed to bring sales back up as the rest of the tablet industry floundered.

> As soon as someone else has a compelling, exclusive phone feature, Apple's likely to collapse.

Your biases show through when you talk about a company with the resources of Apple collapsing because of one exclusive phone feature. In reality, Apple's biggest challenge is competing against last years iPhone.

> There's no lock in, and there's no reason to be loyal -- it's a fashion brand.

Again, your biases. For many people iOS is the easiest mobile OS to use. It has it's quirks, but for many people it just works.
You'd be mistaken. That would be a lot of phones and hence a lot of (rare) metals being delved. Sadly, even something as precious as a mobile phone is a throw away product nowadays. I have no solution, it's us, consumers, who are doing this. But please don't pretend it doesn't matter. Maybe, just maybe, if we could innovate on the recycling of our old phones, it would matter less.
Sorry but I don't understand how my comment on the private market doesn't apply? I think there is definitely difficulty in seeing the underlying aspects of where innovation comes from, mainly because the "lowest hanging fruit" is what will get investment money first, and part of that lowest hanging fruit will scale quickly too - meaning it'll be what gets the most mainstream exposure - so that can skew people's view about private vs. public.

It wasn't just a test protocol. Perl 1 came with a test suite, which its Makefile ran by default before installation.

As Perl grew up, the idea of "you have tests for at least basic stuff" was built into the culture. For example back in the mid-90s it was expected that every module came with a test suite, and every site would run that test suite before installing the module. When you went to package something for CPAN, you were expected to have a ./t directory with tests, and there were lots of examples to show you how to do it. And automated scripts that expected you do to it.

It was something like 15 years before anyone thought of naming the test protocol. It was just how you did things.

"Yoda conditions" are controversial. (Personally, I hate them.)

Exactly. I don't know how Google is "bad at PR" when the company maintained a sparkling image since its inception - arguably, to this day. For common person, who doesn't know or care about lethal security work or sophisticated privacy concerns (which aren't even easy to explain to your average non-techie), Google is this high-flying company full of brilliant people who are eager to provide him with a peerless search engine, a great webmail, and many other great services "for free".

All that while their primary business is advertising - not generally a well-liked industry.

Their PR management is so great that most people would be shocked to realize they're even in advertising at all.

The company also has a great reputation among engineers, and is among the most desirable employers not just in its field, but in the US in general, at a time of a booming job market with plenty of other great choices.

I also don't know about those "UX failures". The company has several web-based services that have effectively beaten all other services, including desktop-based services in their field. Do people forget this feat was considered impossible back when Google got started?

This was no easy feat - Google realized none of the browsers that existed back then was up to the task, so it launched its own browser (!) with a revolutionary new Javascript engine that was an order of magnitude faster than anything else at the time. This was an incredibly ambitious technology project, and they made it a huge success.

So while Google certainly has its failures, and we can expect more of those as it keeps its unrelenting march to become one of the most powerful corporations that has ever existed, describing them as bumbling fools who always botch "human interaction" is simply false and misleading.

Maybe businesses need to start treating their internal infrastructure as a real thing? There should be a diagram on some exec dashboard somewhere, saying in orange "Meeting rooms - health: 60%" (and similar things for all other trivial inconveniences).

Where I grew up there were significant roma gypsy populations (heartland agricultural region, plenty casual work available). Over time a fair few of them gave up the travelling life and move into fixed housing, sent their kids to school, started businesses etc.

Ask HN: Questions about a Microsoft Offer
So a couple weeks ago I got a linkedin message from a microsoft recruiter, one thing led to another, and I just got a "Congratulations" email today. I've been working at a startup since I graduated a couple years ago, and I really like it. The startup is doing well, and I make 120k cash and my options are valued at about ~35k per year (we just raised a Series B).

I haven't interviewed anywhere since starting this job, and I wasn't really planning on leaving until this microsoft interview fell into my lap. I'm still waiting on the details of the offer, since they make you pick a team prior to discussing compensation etc.

My questions are:

1. Do you think Microsoft's reputation on my resume is similar to a Facebook / Google? E.g., do you think it will help me get more senior positions at companies after my tenure there?

2. Is Microsoft's compensation on par with FB/Google? My college roommate just started at FB and makes at 250k a year all in (stocks + signing bonus + $$), is that a reasonable ask at microsoft as well?

3. How would you value startup options that were pre Series A after a startup has raised a Series B? Most signs at my current company are positive, although there are certainly some scaling issues.

4. My second year annual review / raise is upcoming at work. Is it considered poor form to bring this microsoft offer to the table and ask for more money / whatever else I might want (e.g. more vacation, more options)?

5. Can I negotiate this Microsoft offer to its max without offers from other big companies? I have outstanding interview offers from Google and some other companies that I've been pushing back since I wanted to prep first. I have a sense of how much friends of mine make at these companies, but do I need an actual offer to push Microsoft's up? Even if I'll walk away if they don't match those theoretical offers?

Sorry this is slightly disjointed, this was a quick process and I'm still organizing my thoughts.

The market opportunity is in finding these people, and exploiting their problems. F2P games seem to have it covered though.
Flagged-to-death comment notwithstanding, I do wonder of the motivation. He is certainly stating the obvious in that he's just parroting what the recent report is saying, minus the "fossil fuels have to go way" part. On the other hand, what he said doesn't mean anything at all, because he didn't follow up with, "therefore, starting today, we are instituting a new, multi-billion dollar reforestation program..."

So I guess I'm kinda thinking I ought to go vouch that dead comment.
> I think highlighting the good performance is worth mentioning on your project's page

AFAICT most folks don't have more than a couple thousand at the high end, so they probably don't run into these perf issues — although it was my motivation, it's probably not relevant to them.

Also, I totally get how your workflow makes sense—especially for fast-moving topics like FE dev, where there may be more value in just doing a new google search/source.

I also really like tagging over hierarchy. Again just highlights the different use cases we have. If i get really crazy, I might try experimenting with more interesting tagging methods or apply some ML techniques.)

Still, re-using the filesystem is very clever idea, and has a bunch of advantages, not discussed yet.

I got a OnePlus 3 based on this kind of recommendation when Google discontinued their reasonably-priced-phones strategy and came out with the Pixel instead.

I've recently done a bunch of research on the best hosting options for MongoDB because we use it at our startup [1] and DB hosting is one of our biggest service expenses.

The major options I found worth considering were Atlas (owned by MongoDB), mLab, and Compose (owned by IBM). Pricing, performance, and versioning all seemed significantly better with Atlas. This narrows the options even more.

I wonder if they intend on jacking up prices once they own the majority of the market, and are one of the only reasonable solutions... I sure hope not.
