Ask HN: FAANG employees, how are the recent stock declines impacting you?
The past decade has been very good for tech stocks, in particular for FAANGs where constantly rising prices bolstered generous compensation packages. Very strong stock performance has helped recruitment, morale, and retention in FAANGs.

However, now the RSU-heavy compensation policy is being tested, with Facebook and Netflix down over 33%, Amazon declining over 25%, and Google declining 20%.

For many employees, and especially engineers, these declines translate to severe compensation cuts.

What is the impact of these declines on you and your co-workers?

Is your employer responding in any way to the fact that your compensation is suffering deep cuts?

Are there any observed or expected impacts on recruiting, retention, and morale, particularly as RSU-heavy compensation packages lose some of the fairy-dust they carried for so long?
If you stay on Venice, you can explore away from the busiest tourist areas during the day, then at night when most of the tourists leave, have the city to yourself to explore.

Obviously a place can be loved or touristed to death. Groups with a large number of people arriving all at once (whether by van or bus or ship) exacerbate it. But everywhere I've traveled, even very popular places, if you can find a way to avoid the large groups and peak times, you have a much more pleasant experience.

My initial impression of Venice when I visited it four years ago was: "this seems like a place Disney would build if it only could." Perhaps Venice should take a page from Disney's playbook: treat itself like a theme park and limit total daily access with time-of-day tickets for the most popular destinations.
This looks really interesting. From what I gather, the intent is to encourage real physical interaction?

I had the same trouble with order dependence as notebooks got to a certain size, so my team and I created and open-sourced a library, Loman, to help with that. It allows you to interactively create a graph, where nodes represent inputs or functions, and then keeps track of state as you change or add inputs, intermediate functions and request recalculations. Our experience has been broadly positive with this way of working. As graphs get larger, it's easy to lift them into code files in libraries, while continuing to modify or extend them in notebooks. The graph structure and visualization make it easy to return to loman graphs with up to low hundreds of nodes, which would make for a fearsome notebook otherwise. It also makes it easy to bolt Qt or Bokeh UIs onto them for interactive dashboards - just bind UI widgets and events to the inputs and widgets to the outputs. They can be serialized, which is useful for tracking exceptions in intermediate calculations when we put them in airflow to run periodically, as you can see all the inputs to the failing calculation, and its upstreams.

Machine Learning Basics with the K-Nearest Neighbors Algorithm
It was only 2006 when I worked at Oracle, I moved to Google in 2009, it’s not like a sea change in sexual harassment reform happened between those years.

Oracle was a worse environment than Google in many ways, this is not nostalgia. Political infighting between teams was far worse, to the point that you’d have people yelling in meetings and then deliberately backstabbing and undermining other teams.

On a trip I went to Helsinki, they arranged naked Finnish sauna with beer and made no provision for the females with us, some who were from traditionally conservative cultures. After the sauna, they took the men to a strip club with Estonian and Russian strippers. I walked the female team members back to the hotel.

Startup companies in the Bay Area of course don’t have these processes, many of them don’t even have a legal or HR department if they have less than 50 people.

The toxic bro culture of SV startups has been well documented by female journalists, a lot of it stemming from the VCs themselves.

Google has 90000 people now, no one is irreplaceable, except maybe Jeff Dean :).

I'm not sure what about Jupyter makes Python more compelling in comparison to R. R is entirely usable in Jupyter Notebooks, and R Notebooks are, in my opinion, possibly superior to Jupyter notebooks in many ways.

"is it possible to trace back data to individuals from aggregations or any other way?"

It depends on what the aggregation function is and how many user inputs you collected before computing the aggregate. Strictly speaking you are asking a differential privacy question, but a typical use of something like Prio would be to compute an average, which is a very lossy function. If I tell you that among 10000 users it takes an average of 500ms to load a web page, you are not learning much about individuals (especially since I said nothing about the variance).

What Prio does is to ensure that nobody will see raw user data, while still allowing aggregate information to be computed and allowing the inputs to be validated. In other words, the fact that you are focusing on what the output will reveal is a sign that on some level you trust Prio to do exactly what it is designed to do as a mechanism for protecting user data.

The energy, land, and water required to produce 1 lb of beef is several times greater than the resources required to produce 1 lb of chicken, which in turn is several times greater than the resources required to produce 1 lb of the average vegetable.

Not only that, but methane emissions from cattle contribute to climate change. About a third of anthropogenic methane emissions in the US are from livestock.

Not saying we need to stop eating beef completely, but if diets shifted away from beef it would have a number of positive environmental impacts.

> The extreme hostility I've seen over the years to every OSS project that tries some new way of monetizing is just absurd and damaging to the concept.

Sure, I can get behind that but it has nothing to do with this article which is about non-OSS software trying to trick developers who might want to contribute to OSS into contributing to them instead using naming tricks and deceptive terminology.
A definition is not an opinion, it's an arbitrary mapping from a term to a description; you can't really disagree with it. You're free to use another definition for the same term, but if you don't make it extremely clear to you're departing from the most commonly used, don't be surprised if people treat you as any other sleazy salesperson.

Tragedy of the commons problems like environmental issues should really be the main reason for international conflict. It's depressing that it's not.
I see a lot of good points here I otherwise would have made but:

1) "Death metal" is surprisingly regional. This article is very American-centric, as European death metal generally isn't not inspired by violence in the same way.

2) Almost all "good" art in human history is about sadness and death, especially poetry (which are probably the closest analog to modern lyrics).

3) Many of these bands tend to be intentionally over-the-top and not serious about their themes. They are usually very much going to for a classic B-movie goofiness vibe. (Cannibal Corpse, from the article, is definitely in this group)

>How callous and sheltered do you have to be to say something like that?

Keep the dialogue civil.

It turns out that industrializing a society creates a lot of pollution. That pollution, as we've recently found out, is responsible for "the massive humanitarian crises and greater suffering" we are going to experience as impoverished nations continue to industrialize (ie. get lifted out of poverty).

See: IPCC
I feel like $800 for an i3/8gb machine is on the expensive side. Given that it is probably the best option to run OSX smoothly, maybe, it's worth it.
Not joking. It was a rhetorical question.

What I mean: This is an example where a single-page approach is better.

I agree that there are many single-page sites that would be better if they were multipage. But I'm not sure the "almost always" is justified.

The title of the article is even stronger "The Architecture No One Needs". But you and I clearly can bring up examples where it's an architecture that does make sense.
That's why you should always negotiate hard on the base salary and signing bonus. These are guaranteed money not like RSU's.

> Creative Commons ...

"Commons Clause" is not a Creative Commons license. The two are unrelated.
> we want 10% if you're using this in a paid product"

> Confusing since what you've just described sounds very much like what is being railed against?

It's very much not.

"Free for private users, paid for corporations" and "free for free uses, paid to include in new products" are both existing licenses, which may be source available but are generally not open source.

The Commons Clause is different; it permits OSS-style contributions to the codebase while reserving the sale rights to one party. "...the License does not grant to you, the right to Sell the Software"

There seem to be two serious miscommunications here.

First, "source available and we monetize by controlling rights" is not universally hated. Most people less extreme than Stallman are fine with that, they just don't want it achieved by warping FOSS licenses and projects.

Second, the Commons Clause is a particularly bad road to monetized source-available projects. Applying it to an existing project has the effect of converting a FOSS community into an unpaid dev team for one license holder. That's very different from "we'd like a cut if you monetize this".

I personally never liked the vocals despite an almost twenty year infatuation with extreme death metal. But I am very captivated by the music of bands like Infester, Wormed, Autopsy, Pustulated, Flourishing, Pyrrhon, Stargazer, Defeated Sanity, Miasma, Timeghoul, Pyaemia, Wicked Innocence, Malignancy, Disembowelment, Sintury, Human Remains, Orchidectomy, Gorguts, etc.

A few bands nowadays do release instrumental versions of their albums, this is one of my favorites:

Ime emacs works pretty perfect with jupyter too, there is no need to use firefox for something it's not designed to do for my full-time job.

You would if someone told you to replace trim() with eval(). :-)

Cruise ships are already an environmental nightmare. We don't need more of that.
Copy on write filesystems can probably be optimized for SMR by using TRIM commands to punch holes and rewrite the content sequentially in a new zone. Afaik both zfs and btrfs have plans to do this.

That way they can be useful for more than archival.

I think you'll be surprised at how independent the SCOTUS is. Life appointment. It is always surprising that despite politics and personal flair (thinking Scalia here) the top judges agree on 99.9% of the law. It is only the hard cases that they take, and there is disagreement there. But removing a right that is verbatim protected in the US Constitution is not a hard case at all. You might be worried about the recent Republican appointees who are originalists. But if you're an originalist, or a textualist, I mean there is no ambiguity in the text of the 14th amendment when it comes to citizenship for those "born in" the US.

We use the trashcan Mac Pros at work to host VMs, and it's kind of a pain in the tuchas: terrible form factor, wicked expensive, and really outdated. These maxed out Mac Minis will be better for us in almost every way.

As a home user, I just might get this instead of building another hackintosh, but my guess is that it will be less interesting priced with a usable configuration. If the memory and storage is user upgradable, on the other hand ...

Edit: if I max out a Mac Pro's memory and storage, it comes to US$4,800. A comparable Mac Mini is US$3,300, and I can spend $800 to double the storage to 2TB. I definitely see us getting these at work.

For home use, I like that I can upgrade the memory, but Apple is predictably marking up the storage big time.
Don’t forget 128GB storage. Just a tad overpriced.
"Actually they ask "why" every time for every thing that I say :) My sons are not yet (to my eyes) sufficiently mature to really hear a thorough answer to "why". "

I am digressing a bit here, but I strongly encourage you to rethink this.

The act of hearing things they are not sufficiently mature to hear is the very best process for becoming mature in that way.

Of course I am not speaking of prurient matters or horrific tragedies (you should hand them neither Penthouse nor MAUS) but I think you should explain matters like the one at hand clearly, in an adult manner, and with adult vocabulary.

They may not understand more than 10% of it but that lack of understanding is a great challenge and the 10% they do grasp is a foundation for deeper thought.

I have three children and not only do we speak of things that are beyond their ken, with them, but we make a point not to adjust our vocabulary downward when we speak with them. They have risen to the challenge.
