This is the only disappointing release I’ve seen from Zeit, their original mission statement was to make “cloud computing” accessible to everyone and with Now v1 they killed it, providing a truly an awesome product. Now v2 is a pivot away from everything that made them unique, soon they'll be mistaken for a trendier version of Netlify...
Good observation. Please enjoy some genuinely earned status from me.
I don't know. It seems like either you're responsible for your behavior, or you are not. Having a first-offense warning just shows that the company isn't really serious about dealing with the problem.
Like I said in my post, I think they should, but not through banning use of their product. They should be protecting civil rights through lobbying.

> Having a drink in the workplace aftera day of hard work works great for morale.

So do many other things. If the only thing that keeps morale acceptable is providing alcohol, then you have a problem either with the people you hire, the work you make them do, or the amount of resources you're willing to expend on morale.

"Microsoft tried this with Continuum for Windows 8/10 and Windows Mobile, it failed."

There are plenty of reasons for that, chief among them being the staggeringly-uphill battle of Windows regaining any significant marketshare in the mobile space and (presumably) the lack of software compatible with Windows on ARM.

Meanwhile, Android (and Samsung's phones in particular) are quite popular, and the vast majority (to my knowledge) of Linux desktop programs work on ARM just as well as they do on x86(-64).
What is it about executive-speak? I entered the Google announcement about changes in their sexual harassment with a bad feeling because it started with a very executive-sounding statement that actually left me surprised with what followed.

Yes, I’m aware of the history of race relations in the United States. I just wasn’t clear on why you would bring it up or what it had to do with the prior conversation.
I think that it's particularly difficult to write about why a company failed. Theranos is an extreme example, because the root cause of the company's failure is pretty clear and because there's a lot of mindshare and commentary about their issues. For many other companies, failure is a culmination of many different issues, many of which are likely to be private. As a result, unless someone with good internal insight into the failure of the company makes a public post, a la Shyp founder Kevin [1], there likely isn't one comprehensive single cause of failure, and any speculation would likely be doing a disservice to the company.

I mean, yeah. Amazon's been doing that for a long time.

Back in the day, Amazon was very fond of repeating over and over that customer trust and customer loyalty was the very most important thing. Customers absolutely had to know that if they ordered something on Amazon, the right product would arrive on time. A data leak would be seen as an existential crisis. Shipping the wrong product was a customer service emergency.

Then Amazon found out how much money it could make from being a third party marketplace and mostly just giving up on quality control. Now nobody has nearly the confidence that the thing they're buying is a real thing. Is that USB-C cable gonna work with your phone? Who knows? Amazon doesn't. But they'll be happy to sell it to you.

Turns out that whole "customer first" thing was more of a temporary tactic more than it was any sort of moral grounding. It was a great tactic. It got Amazon to #1 from an era where nobody trusted eCommerce. But they dropped it once they didn't need it.

Remember, Amazon's the place that kicked a political organization off of their cloud with no notice because Senator Lieberman placed a quick phone call to Jeff Bezos and suggested it'd help him win GovCloud if he did.

This. Unless you're in the mindset that you need to buy something and you need to have it delivered now (why?), a local bookstore does the job. I typically order books on my closest one, all it takes is an e-mail or gasp I pass by and tell them what I want in person. Never failed.

> Public BGP requires /24 or wider, and /24 cannot contain .0 or .255 as a valid IP

That requirement is about how you advertise your routes not how you subnetted the internal network. .0 and .255 of your advertised /24 can work fine as /32s on the server. Using the internet FW to NAT the network and broadcast addresses is another common trick to get more addresses, particularly when you only get an e.g. /29 from a carrier who is just routing that /29 to your specified next hop and 2 more addresses is a big bump.

They haven't sold their ethics because they didn't have those ethics in the first place, and haven't ever seriously tried to pretend otherwise. Amazon is pretty transparently in business to make money, with little regard for anything else. The closest thing they have to ethics is "Customer Obsession", but even that is explicitly justified as a means to maximize long-term profit.

> depend only on the formats installed by default in the system.

Funny fact I've actually "invented" this philosophy (drivers for every file format being installed, managed and exposed to applications and scripts by an OS) when I was a child. I was amazed to see somebody has actually went implementing this idea (as far as I understand it works approximately this way in Haiku)

> As an aside, MP3 is a format which requires licensing for decoding and encoding to be legal,so depending on the MP3 format is not a good idea unless your program deals specifically with it.

This is not true, the patent has expired AFAIK and every desktop Linux distribution can play it out-of-the box for quite a long time already (and even if it would not have, people living in countries that don't have software patenting should be let to make use of their advantage). In fact MP3 is a great format to depend on as this is the only lossy audio compression format that really plays everywhere. AAC is better and can be played on the majority of modern devices and OSes but still not really everywhere, OPUS is the best but there still are so many devices and apps that don't support it unfortunately.

OP is probably referring to the types of books generally supplied to small children who are first learning how to read. They tend to be extremely short (no more than a few dozen words in the whole book); heavily illustrated; and use simple words and sentence structure.

By extension, I gather they’re looking for examples of well-engineered programs small and simple enough for a true beginner to thoroughly grok within a short period. Presumably something in a few hundred lines of code that avoids unnecessary indirection or cleverness.
Wait 20 minutes for a bus. Or take a scooter 20 blocks instead. How do I take the bus from Chinatown to Fisherman’s Wharf? By the time I figured that out, I’d be halfway there. Scooters represent speed and mobility. Buses represent crowds and waiting. Besides scooters are actually fun. A bus is an exercise in patience and time-wasting. If China followed your advice, Shanghai would be a continuous line of buses covering every square inch of road. Those that hate scooters have never used one.
> If you allow drinking at work, what BAC is ok?

Rules don't have to be written around BAC, they can be written around behavior or impairment.

Obviously I don't condone this.. but a good example would be White Slave owning society in the United States pre 1860.

Most of the "labor" on a plantation was done by slaves which will be very similar to the automated labor provided by robots of the future.

But those slave owners still had jobs to do, they were still competitive with each other. They still used money and tried to acquire more wealth.

Sparta was a neat example too. Menial labor was provided by slaves, but Spartan Citizens competed with each other for military honors and societal placement.

For roughly the same price (~$40k), a Model 3 will do 310, and it will do those miles with substantially better performance and AWD (and also not look like a squished minivan, beside the point).

Categorically false, as the Model 3s do not currently sell for that amount with that range. Cheapest model 3 is $46k, without upgrades.

Can't find anything about the electric-only etron, which hasn't been released yet. The hybrid etron only has 16 miles of pure EV range. BMW's I3 is a superior riding experience, range and acceleration aside. Even the Leaf and Focus Electric are nicer to ride in. After the novelty of "Ludicrous" mode wears off, the actual driver experience matters most to most car buyers. Considering that most people don't have a 150-mile commute, the Model 3's only advantage is for the hypothetical holiday drive. Most people would just rather have a nicer car.
I think it's pretty clear what I'm asking.

It is not a norm in other companies to penalize people's performance reviews for failing to complete routine training. What is a norm is that your manager at some point simply demands that you stop what you're doing and complete the training. What would happen if you refused? Who knows? I assume you'd get fired for cause, the same way you would if you deliberately disregarded any other directive. Like I said: the most sophisticated training programs I've seen simply cut off people's access until they complete training (and thus, obviously, if you refused to complete the training, you'd be let go.)

The Perf downgrade is high-drama. For one thing: it sets a dollar price you can pay to not comply! For another, it throws the objectivity of performance reviews in question (there are multiple factors that affect your Perf level, not just this one!).

So, obviously, my question is: why does Google have this weird, elaborate, high-drama mechanism when it could instead just do what everyone else does: the CEO tells the VPs that all their reports need to complete training. The VPs make it happen, or are replaced. Recurse.

Conductors enforce how the music is interpreted and played . In some songs like a march you want everyone to keep time but you may emphasize certain notes such as the liberty bell march (Monty pythons flying circus theme song). Other pieces such as the 1812 overture would emphasize the gradual build up or ending. But both of these songs have to be interpreted in how they are performed. For example in Vivaldi’s summer in four season can be interpreted it ways that sound faster or slower .
> Damage to reproductive tissue from rapid freezing used in cryopreservation is inconsequential

Relative to what?

> here is a report of an embryo frozen for 25 years that was successfully used to bring a fetus to term

Loss of viability is only one metric by which damage can be measured. Something can be viable but the damage causes a less healthy child, just like age based DNA damage.

Plus the embryo's age is a mislead showcase. Correctly stored embryos can last almost indefinitely (atmospheric radiation damage being the only limiter). The risks from cryopreservation is primary during the freezing process.

I have no use for Docker. It's literally just an extra layer that does nothing useful for me. npm starts the server and I'm good to go: npm start for production, npm run start-local to run with a local database. Keep It Simple, Stupid. I see so many people using Docker as their scripting file, even though it actually adds complexity. I have no problem with it existing for those who need it, but most apps absolutely do not benefit from it. In fact, I've occasionally had to write code to handle Docker containers in a special way... completely defeats the purpose of normalizing the environment.
