> unless configured with mandatory locking ... you don’t have to open for edit.

I’d guess you’re learning toward talking about svn, which I don’t remember very well, and I am leaning towward talking about p4, which always does mandatory locking.

You’re right the terminology is different between these different systems, I’m just pointing out that the git staging area has what you can think of as some equivalences in the other systems. Or, you can think of it as tradeoffs. Either way, the git staging area is something that helps you pretend like you’re using svn or p4 in the sense that it helps support editing multiple changes at the same time before pushing them to a server.

> Mistakes at what point?

With git I’m referring to mistakes between commit and push. But there’s a philosophical difference here that I glossed over. With git it’s easier to commit early and often than it is with svn or p4. With svn & p4 it’s easier to lose your work because version control doesn’t know anything about it before you push. If I make micro-commits, which I want and I like, then I put more “mistakes” along the way into my local history, and I can use the staging area to clean everything up before I push. With svn & p4, you make those mistakes and do the cleanup without ever telling the version control, and you run a greater risk of losing that work while you do the cleanup.
Right. It's OK to spy on everyone except the homeless and vagrants, because that might be offensive.

history has mostly shown a zero-sum game when it comes to search. Didn’t all of those other search engines you listed die off? Even Bing has been mostly irrelevant in comparison to Google. Also a lot of DDG users came over because they were unhappy with some of Google’s practices. Therefore it’s natural for them to want to justify their decision as a good choice by hoping the rest of the world comes to the same conclusion.

I tried DDG, it worked good but Google is better. I can’t afford to spend cycles wondering what Google would have returned when I’m trying to research something while I code.
Ghostery is owned by Cliqz, which in turn is owned by Hubert Burda Media. HBM makes a big chunk of their money from advertisement and tracking. Make of that what you will.
Do you use Google while logged in? I've heard complaints like that every now and then and I just can't relate. My best guess is that some people get very personalized results and they've grown used to them. I've used DDG as my main search engine for several years now and I don't really have any complaints.

> I will agree though that speculating on any given, current production, Lego set is idiotic at best.

The comment you're replying to doesn't suggest any of that.

yukonbound's comment made me think that comparing the items whose value really popped to those whose value didn't might provide a guide to which items would become more valuable in the future.

> You never know what will be popular and what won't, you'll never know when something will be retired or won't.

The really obvious counterexample is Star Wars-branded stuff associated with a current feature film. I don't think it would be that hard to identify stuff with a limited production run. The "will be popular" part is trickier, yes.
Agreed. Modern PHP development is very similar to Java development (although there are still quirks). I've programmed in PHP professionally for the last 8 years and can confirm that the language is improved by leaps and bounds. Composer by itself is a joy to use (especially compared to npm). We introduced PHPStan recently and it's basically a magic bug finder, it's fantastic.
This is a real thing for certain areas like packaging and deploying software or database and to a degree. But I think that since we continue to create more and more software, there will still be plenty of demand, until AI becomes a significant aspect of software development. That may not happen until at or near the time that we achieve truly general artificial intelligence. This is pure speculation but in my opinion the first "real" AGI systems are less than two years away. Within 5 to 10 years of that happening, I expect unaugmented human programmers to be obsolete.
Yes, assuming people will be playing with Legos in 10-20 years ( which is a safe assumption) and that knock off will stay low quality (which might be not), there is a floor on the value of a set.
I’ve gotten to a point where if we write a bash script for something I consider it somewhat of a failure. I want operational tooling to be easily maintainable by a large team of software engineers, and bash scripts just aren’t that.

Services that run services is the way to go. Lose a box from the fleet? No problem, the operator service bounced it and got it running again. I’ll admit that timelines often mean you don’t get to build the grand vision out of the gate, but I absolutely agree with you that bash scripting isn’t how we should be running services these days.
I can't belive there isn't a viable candidate taking up something like:

"I'm not going to drive us face first into the ground because of a referendum the promised somethings that can't happen with a brexit. We're going to come out with the short end of the stick here if we're not smart. We need to work out a new deal where we stay but address some concerns."

Hopefully the EU could be adult about it and throw them a bone or two and let things settle.
You can't do stealth in space. Thermodynamics won't let you. If you're using a whole lot of energy you will light up in the infrared.

Parent's point is valid except for the fact that they might not be lighting off the deceleration stages one after the other. There could be a time gap, and maybe a significant one. Gaps between firings would be likely because that's one way you could steer. You could time firings to aim for e.g. an orbital insertion around Jupiter, which would be easier since Jupiter is so massive. You could also use Jupiter or another gas giant to aerobrake with some kind of ablative shield like in the film 2010. It's fairly likely that whatever physicists' nightmare propulsion system an expendable interstellar rocket stage would use would be something that is hard to turn off once you light the candle, so each stage might be an all or nothing thing.

It would be interesting to use the JWST, an infrared telescope, to look at areas of the sky where an inbound craft coming along this sort of interstellar trajectory might be. A probe or spacecraft would have to have its own power source. This would be way dimmer than a lit deceleration stage, but JWST might be able to see it. If it's using energy at all it must have radiators due to the second law.

Of course if this hypothesis were valid and they lit another deceleration stage, it would absolutely be visible if we looked in the right place. It would be very very bright in the infrared and probably in visible light too. Hell if it's something insane like an antimatter driven fusion rocket you might be able to see it with the naked eye.
Laracasts.com is a great way to get started.

Also worth noting that they cited wearing glasses as a more significant factor. Worrying about screen time is less warranted than worrying about whether or not your kid wears glasses.

I have had a similar experience to you. I switched to using DDG as my main search engine for about a year now, and I am quite happy with the results it gives me. Once in a blue moon I'll be stumped enough to try searching Google, but I haven't found that their searches are any better.

Things such as DDG's 'bang' system, and the ability to view and save photos easier, I've been finding it just as usable or even more so than Google these days.
I think this is a fair point but a major part of my complaint. The other day i tried looking up the hours of a hardware store and kept getting unrelated results. Today i tried to check the hours of a bar, and google returned what i thought were the wrong results, but in fact the bar had just changed its name...things like that are the polish that really makes the difference between one search and a mess of keyword mashing to get the result you’re after.
Here's how the money is being used (somewhat vague).

"Microsoft plans to lend $225 million at subsidized rates to preserve and build middle-income housing in six cities near its Redmond headquarters. It will put an additional $250 million into low-income housing across the region...the remaining $25 million will be grants to local organizations that work with the homeless, including legal aid for people fighting eviction."

Here's the projected impact (also somewhat vague).

"The Seattle Times reported Wednesday that if the $500 million were put into one project, it would create only about 1,000 units, so instead Microsoft will most likely put smaller amounts in many projects to help build “tens of thousands of units.”

Here's the need:
"Seattle region needs 156,000 more affordable housing units [today].and will need 88,000 more by 2040 if the region’s growth continues."

Gambling is a zero sum game because by nature, it creates no new or additional value. It's simply a matter of definition.

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/z/zero-sumgame.asp

In other words, someone wins and someone loses. Just because someone benefits doesn't mean it isn't a zero sum game. Stealing is also a zero sum game. It benefits the criminals who steal ( but no new value is created ). It's simply a transfer of wealth, not a creation of wealth. That's why it is zero sum.
No, because they make money without you having really a sense of what you pay.

I'm ok with people asking to pay: give a clear money price, or make content related ads with no trackers that integrate well in your experience. In my house, we pay for netflix, github, spotify... I also use Android apps with discret ads.

I'm ok with people blocking me if I don't want to pay. Paywal ? Fair enough, I'm not mad at you, you need to make a living. I just hope your content is worth enough to make people pay for it.

For both those cases, the deal is clear.

But right now, most sites are saying "it's free", while it's not. And for people not blocking protecting themself, the price is impossible to figure out, and ever changing, with all those scripts pumping trackers and ads. Not to mention the user experience is terrible, and sometimes dangerous.

They are making people, and sometime even society, sign checks without a number on it. Sorry, but not sorry.

TL;DR: If it's free, you don't care that I have an ad blocker. If it's not free, make the price clear.

genuinely interested != want to continue to use the service.

Yeah, I may be genuinely interested enough in a new service to create an account and even put my CC information to have access to the trial [1]. However it does not mean that I will like the service and want to continue to use it.

The best way to avoid having a surprise in my CC at the end of the month is to simply subscribe to the trial and afterwards cancel any automatic billing. If I don't do it when I am creating my account, I will forget it later. Yet I will continue to test the service until the end of my trial.

Now if you simply stop my trial is unfair. Why would you want to keep my billing info until the end of trial is beyond any good reason except to maybe try to make me forget about the whole thing and gain some money on people that forget to unsubscribe for services they don't use.

[1]: Multiple times they ask CC information to know if it is a genuine prospect (a.k.a. someone that can really pay for the service later, instead of a bot or something). So it is ok to ask for CC information for trial periods, it is not ok to cancel my trial just because I removed my CC information.

This is virtually impossible. To change the treaties, one needs the agreement of the 28 members. What one country sees as an issue (e.g. not properly taxing big tech companies) another sees as a great thing. That has nothing to do with being an adult or not. Each country is protecting its own interests.

Interesting that you're postulating a ~19 year conspiracy to fabricate a man across at least two LA Times articles from 2000 and this Atlantic piece in 2019. And I guess celebrity rapper KRS One, quoted in the Atlantic, would have to be in on the fabrication too. And the LA Times photographer who sold his images to the Atlantic.

How in the world would the "innocent infringer" defense play out, considering that any and all copyrightable content is implicitly copyrighted at its conception? Especially considering that the declaration does not assist in distinguishing between copyrightable and non-copyrightable aspects within publication.

Saying that the user did not understand that content was copyrightable seems akin to claiming that they did not know stealing was wrong. It is the burden of the individual to know the laws they must follow, and not knowing them is not a valid defense to the best of my knowledge.

The U.S. has such a weird legal system.
Those are old numbers. According to the VISA Annual Report from 2017, the VISA network does ~3500 transactions per second (tps) (average) [0] and a "FactSheet" put out by VISA claims 65,000 peak tps [1].

And AliPay had ~325,000 peak tps according to their 2017 annual report [2].

Are there any HNers here that run their companies completely remote?

I am the founder of ideatostartup.org, which is a fully remote company.

What issues have you encountered?

Running a remote company has many advantages over non-remote companies. However, obviously it also depends on the sector the company is in. Remote only companies are possible only for a few sectors.

Did you lose a lot of productivity? Is it harder to grow the company?

The productivity in remote company is generally higher because only the best developers can thrive in a remote culture.

Is it harder to grow the company?

A remote can hire a professional from any location on Earth. If you know how to access the global talent correctly, it will be much easier to grow the company.

I don't have a partner but I'm a very extroverted person, so I think I should be fine in terms of loneliness?

Loneliness depends on the environment. If you stay alone in a house for long, you will definitely feel lonely. But, if you have good family or people who you can hangout with, you will enjoy working remotely even more.

Hope this was useful. If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out to me.

Google doesn't need to be stopped, a lot of innovation is happening there. It just has to be more profitable to care about the users of the services than about the business-clients of Google. If privacy of end users would be a core business instead of selling data there would be no problem. Sadly I don't have any glimpse of an idea how that could be happening. The world is complicated and every little piece that makes interacting with the world more convenient is welcome. Google is convenient, so nobody[1] gives a damn about their data.
