Shadow-flipping, assignments, double dealing have become the norm here.

The difference is that Democrats and the GOP were on the verge of passing the CR until Trump changed his mind and refused to sign. In this case it is very clear that the GOP shoulders the blame for the shutdown.
Or they could just... go away? Seriously, it would be the best for everyone.
A partner is involved in every Pentagram engagement though. Pentagram is not really like a huge Landor-esque firm, it's basically a series of small design consultancies each led by a partner that are loosely tied together. So anything that Pentagram is gonna do, at least one of the partners has to get behind it.

In some ways I guess that makes it very loosely like a VC fund.
They still needed Democrat Senators in order to pass anything (60 votes).

I agree with the author - many developers learn git (or version control in general) along the way, even though it's a fundamental skill needed for almost every project out there. This leads to insecurities, inefficencies and wasted time when (not if) something breaks. That's why our company training for new graduate hires consists - among others - of 2 days of git/github training. I love git (even though I might experience some sort of Stockholm syndrome), and while it's the most popular VCS, it is not an easy tool to learn and should not be condensed into "commit - pull - push - now start working on some tickets".
If you sell well, the VCs want you to scale so yes, lots of time spent recruiting.

If you have a smaller business making enough money and don't want to scale and therefore don't need VC money - then selling is definitely the number one requirement.
Here, perhaps, it can be christened "the slackstika".
The campaign promise was that Mexico would pay for it. Asking for the US to fund a wall is blocking one of the biggest campaign promises.
Cultural and market dominance? Where can I get some of that Kool-aid? Spotify is certainly more successful than many of the alternatives, but it's a crowded space. Apple Music, Amazon Music, Google Play Music, YouTube Music, SoundCloud, Pandora, Bandcamp and 8Tracks are just the ones I've heard of. Any one of these, including Spotify, is subject to acquisition, spinning out, or outright shutdown at the whims of the music industry. Any of these events can change the service such that it's practically useless.

The ones already shut down or folded into different companies with different priorities include Rhapsody, Beatport, Rdio, Last.fm's streaming offering, and the aforementioned Zune. Forgive me if I'm a little cautious and not willing to depend on the magic of "the market," cue jazz hands, to ensure access to my music, especially when I have a solution that's already working that isn't subject to those risks.
We haven't discovered any major technologies in the last 20 years that would make a significant difference; what makes you think the next 20 years would be any different?

I'm confident we will make some gains in things like lower power consumption and better efficiency with renewables, but we're coming up against some hard physical limits; plus we are finding more toys all the time that demand more energy.

The best chance of finding technological solutions is to pour money into researching clean technologies, which is not something I would be against, but it doesn't guarantee anything.

Hoping for a technological solution in the future is a bit like spending all your money and taking out loans you are unable to pay in the uncertain hope of a windfall in the future.

No, because the funding wasn't demanded until the 11th hour. Congress was on the verge of passing a clean CR with bipartisan support until Trump caved to conservative media pressure and suddenly refused to sign. He also took the blame for the shutdown on live TV.

Trump wasn't able to negotiate for the funding in the two years that his party has control, and now he's taken the government hostage for it.

This is a much better solution, I think. Uploading your source code is often easier than uploading your binaries. If, for example, you have a new contributor you don't yet trust creating a cloud function in Go and you know enough Go to review the code, but it's not convenient for you to compile it yourself, you can just upload the code yourself. You can't easily review the binary.
> "That being said, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and their local branches are the definition of a cartel."

NAR was actually investigated by the federal government (FTC i think?), who concluded much the same, but lobbying buried the report and nothing came of it.

MLS's maintain power by strictly controlling access to information. they have the most up-to-date and the most detailed information about properties, buyers/sellers and sales transactions, among other things. this allows them to be the arbitors of deal flow, giving their members the advantage.

and this is the linchpin that props up the 6% commission rate. it's classic rent-seeking, since marketing costs have been dropping, as you mention. a truly competitive market would probably put the commission in the 1-2% range.

(i did my MBA thesis on disrupting the real estate industry)

edit: here's one, but i don't think it's the one i was thinking of: https://www.justice.gov/atr/competition-real-estate-brokerag...
> Nowadays, the cost of listing a house is nominal for a brokerage. Advertising is free because all of the real estate sites that consumers visit (realtor.com, zillow) pull directly from MLS. All cameras are digital so you can take that perfect picture the first time. There are now phone apps that automate broker access to houses to show their clients.

There's a brokerage in Canada now called "1% Realty" which pretty much serves the purpose of getting your home onto the MLS, and doing some very basic sellers agent services. Its whole shtick is that its fee is literally one percent.

In my opinion that level of sellers-agent fee is much better aligned with the actual hours of effort, and operating costs on the part of the listing agent.

I would suggest you consider that issue may be more complicated than a single variable. While it make for great back and forth on an HN thread and wonderful, cathartic gotcha moments, (perhaps I also feel this urge), it really is a complicated issue, and pretty much all signs point to climate change as being a very disruptive, likely cataclysmic change to the entire planet. Ecosystems don't respond to rapid, catastrophic changes well. Loss of biodiversity--losing a link in the food chain--tends produce shockwaves through the entire system, which can lead to collapse.

> Is that something that goes against the American culture?

Conservative Christian fundamentalist groups have, ever since Reagan, likened a national ID card to "the mark of the beast", citing Revelation 13's prophecy that no one could buy or sell goods without the number of the beast, and the reference to God's chosen people that refuse the mark of the Beast.

When a small but meaningful fraction of your constituents fervently believe that giving them a national ID literally damns them to Hell, it's a hard sell.

Much easier if you attach it to a tool (Social Security) with which they can get money.

There's also the angle of State's Rights and whether the federal government can require people to have national ID over just amalgamating the various state IDs.

Finally, Americans generally distrust their government. Not without reason, they believe a national ID would reduce their privacy and allow the government to more easily spy on and track them.

There's quite a few things you've missed that are significant and should have been included, maybe one for part two:

* Network ACLs, which describe the ruleset (consider it like a stateless firewall) for subnets and their respective routes. Whilst they are optional, having a default set it straightens out a lot of duplication that may end up in Security Groups (which are more stateful in nature).

* Elastic (public) IPs. NAT instances/gateways require their use, and there is dance to be done around their allocation in account, and attaching to instance interfaces.

* IPv6 components. Egress-only Internet Gateways operate differently to IGWs, as there is no NAT they need a route applied across all subnets both public and private. IPv6 CIDR which allocates the VPCs /56 (and thus each subnet gets a /64, and each instance's interface thus gets a /128 which is bananas, but IPv6 is a second class citizen on AWS). Finally updating the subnets so automatic IPv6 address assignment happens.

* VPC Gateways - these are broken into two types, the older type that support S3/DynamoDB and effectively allow traffic in a public/private subnet to bypass NAT. These enabled can have significant advantages to access and throughput. The newer "PrivateLink" services are different and having pricing costs associated with them.

* DNS and DHCP: It's a rule in the VPC that the delegated resolver lives on ".2" of the VPC's CIDR, and operates in dual-horizon - EC2 hostnames setup accordingly resolved by instances inside the VPC will get the private VPC CIDR address, not any Elastic IP.

Nope. Check it out dawg. House passed it. Dem Senators scuttled it:

The Senate doesn't 'need' 60 votes. Republicans have always had the nuclear option to fund the wall if they were really that desperate for a win. Not only that but I believe they could've used recounciliation in order to force funding, which they instead used for a tax cut on the wealthy and kneecapping the ACA.

This is purely a political play by Republicans and there is absolutely no other way to view it. They're hurting federal employees for the sake of funding a fraction of the wall, and their intent was to try and blame democrats. Again.
I don't think I have ever seen an ad and clicked on it in order to get something. For the NY Times a lot of the ads are just for branding and they pay per views, not click throughs or acquisitions, so need to factor this into the results. Other websites with different size and recognition might need different kind of advertising where personal data is more important.
oops, I realize now that with the way I wrote that post, it reads (inaccurately and unintentionally) to mean that they go through a 3rd party, rather than my intent that one way or another a broker licence is involved.
There is a scientific consensus that climate is changing that it is heating up. After that it becomes more and more speculative. There is not scientific consensus that we are all doomed or even close to being doomed. There is a higher risk of zero that it will be cataclysmis but so is there of an astroid hitting earth and a supernova wiping us all out.

But it's mostly speculation and this conversation would be much more useful also for future generation if we didn't as we see in this thread here completely panic at every sensationalist headline and start asking ourselves some more constructive questions.

Again give me a concrete scientifically demonstrated consequence of those issues that we don't know how to deal with. I have asked my times in this thread yet all I got back was downvotes. Doesn't that tell you something?

We will always have to deal with nature whether, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanos, floods, water rising some places and disappearing other places. Sahara used to be green.

>11 colors to 4 (+1 if you consider the text itself)

I was confused by this claim in TFA. I see 4 colors of lines in the old logo, plus 4 colors where the lines overlap. 4 + 4 = 8, obviously. Even if we counted text and background (which doesn't seem commonplace when discussing how many colors a logo has) that only brings us to 10. I get why 4 colors is preferable to 8, but I don't know where the number 11 is coming from. Anybody know what I'm missing here?
I'm not criticizing the way you quoted Sagan; what I'm trying to say is that there's no escape from any kind of "appeal to authority".

There's too many people saying too many things that are too expensive to evaluate on their own merits; we all use heuristics to filter and rank stuff. Appeal to authority/expertise is one of those (and, as all heuristics, imperfect).
Some places, like the US, can afford to pay substantial amounts for mitigation. It can build a lot of seawalls and desalination plants and probably even relocate Miami (or at least some of it).

Other places like Bangladesh, cannot. Its per capita GDP is 2.5% of the US's, is incredibly low lying and incredibly densely populated. A 3 foot rise in sea level would displace 30 million people [0]. That would make Syria's refugee crisis look like peanuts, its hard to imagine it occurring without millions dying and a regional war. Would this be considered something we can deal with?

As a lead developer on some projects, I've explicitly asked to jump into the weeds and handle support.

You can learn SO MUCH about your application just by handling a bit of support. You learn UX issues, you learn what tooling the support people are missing that would allow them to do their job (a simple "send a screenshot to support" button in our app saved our support reps HOURS spending time trying to get customers to describe the problem or teaching them how to take a screenshot on their device).

Not only that, but often the easiest wins are those where you make a happy customer even happier. I saw one customer one time that did this like 10 step process to get some information from the app. They would switch to one user, go to a specific page, open it in a new tab and leave it there, then logout and login to another account, go to their overview page, and then bring the 2 tabs side-by-side to compare numbers.

We already had support for "manager" style accounts that could view info on multiple people, but it didn't have the information they were looking for. A few hours later I had a POC up on our staging system with the information they needed right there, and that person I was talking to became almost an evangelist for our software at their company. Just knowing that they had a problem in the first place was key, and the fix took me a few hours, but it saved them probably that much per week.
60% of the vote is needed to end the debate on a subject.

If 41 Senators continue to debate, the vote will never hit the floor. The technique in modern times is to have 41 Senators endlessly debate ideas they don't like. This is called a Filibuster.
>GDPR is not meant to be followed to the letter, it's legislation on principle and will continue to be ineffective and only cause further problems for the EU, while entrenching the very companies that it most wanted to protect people from. California's privacy act is a much better legal framework in case you want examples.

Everytime an advertiser complains about the GDPR I become more confident in its rightousness.

>Privacy is also not incompatible, as even choosing the NYT to advertise on is still a targeted decision

So you want to focus targeting completely on the source, not the individual audience member? Than we are in agreement.

I hear this a lot, as a contrast to Electron, but I haven't seen any examples of good cross-platform Qt apps.

The only Qt app I've used recently is VirtualBox, which is terrible on the Mac. The controls don't look or work right at all. On Windows, it's less bad, but still noticeably non-native.

I searched the web and found that Google Earth Pro also uses Qt, so I downloaded that. It looks awful, too. The scrollbars, split panes, buttons, and toolbars look wrong. Checkboxes are drawn mangled, animation is absent, and the outline view doesn't size its rows correctly so the bottom half of text is cut off. Despite language being "System default" in the Earth prefs, and English being the top language in my System Prefs, part of the UI is in Japanese (my #2). The view right after launch: https://i.imgur.com/eDvSoUm.png

I think a good first step would be looking at existing Qt apps. Are you OK with the quality of apps like VirtualBox and Earth? Alternatively, do you think you can do a better job at this than Google and Oracle?

I think if you're planning to write a typical Qt app, in order to make 'native app' fans happy, you're going to be in for a surprise.

Marketing veteran here. Just like Uber and Instagram, they messed up big. They took something iconic and replaced it with something forgettable. The first sentece after they show it tells the lie:

"Firstly, it’s not change for the sake of change."

Unfortunately, due to the nature of company politics, this kind of thing usually happens because a new CMO or other exec comes in and needs to "mark their territory". Marketing in tech right now is having a big problem with people rising to the leadership ranks that really don't understand the basic fundamentals of the craft.
It's not correct. Only 50% is needed. But 60% is needed to break a filibuster (which used to be when a Senator literally just keeps talking until the bill is dead, but now is just procedural). The assumption is that in our current environment, there will always be a filibuster on a budget bill, so you need 60 votes to make sure you can break the filibuster.

It's just as much Pelosi and Schumer playing politics. They don't want to give him any money, despite this being a fairly small request, because they know that if he can't deliver on his central campaign promise it will tear his base away from him and secure his 2020 defeat.
Uber at their worst still beats the heck out of taxis at their best. (Yes, that's an exaggeration, but only a mild one.) There is a reason why the taxi industry died almost overnight. Legalities aside, that simply doesn't happen to industries whose customers are happy.

However, I've never quite grokked AirBnB. I'm not a big fan of traveling in general, and when I do travel I prefer (and don't mind paying for) predictability and good customer service. Crashing in some random person's house doesn't seem very predictable, as threads like this tend to suggest, and responsive customer service is obviously out of the question.
