There's also the cost of the time it takes you to replace the drive, get it replaced under warranty, etc. that takes a part of the cost of everything too. I decided that the (at the time) marginal cost of $20/disk was worth my time in likely not having to deal with it.

Well it depends.

When we hire someone there is a six months probation period where both parties can terminate the contract without any questions or obligations. This is mainly to make sure that the new members are compatible with the rest.

So when I hire I do so with the knowledge that it might not work out but they won't be blacklisted by the whole company for that reason.

If course if someone would scream at me and curse and storm out I'd likely not want to hire them again, but luckily that's never happened :)

Branding for dummies
Something seems wrong with your SMC.
Since my bisexual wife has very similar problems when dating women I'd say the answer isn't simple.

There were times early on where we'd gone on a triple date with a nice girl and eight hours of talk had elapsed without any action. I could tell the girl wanted to be kissed. I could tell my wife wanted to be kissed by the girl. Real movie lean-in moments. Neither of them could bring themselves to be the initiator.

It would have been easy for me to initiate both because I'm good at reading those signals and good at feeling and accepting implicit rejection in an unenthusiastic kiss, but if I'd taken the reigns my wife wouldn't have had the opportunity to explore her own relationship with feminity. So I sat and chatted and watched the opportunities float by.

The next day my wife would express a paradox of frustration that she couldn't just borrow my assertiveness and gratitude that I was letting her find her own path. (edit: Important to note here that the women would tell her the same thing, that they'd felt the moment but hadn't been able to take advantage of it.)

Eventually she figured out that more assertive bi women were an important group to look for.

So it isn't entirely a gender thing and it's not about "pushing" anybody to do anything. It's about learning how to sense signals, how to make signals, how to recognize people who want you to take the level of initiative that you're comfortable taking, and how to gracefully accept that incompatibility on this one point is incompatibility per se, not just a missed opportunity.
> My reply: I quit on the spot -- no two-week notice, I just left.

I think you might be my new hero: that's a fantastic response to a dick move. I just don't get people who treat employees like crap: it's no road to long-term success or satisfaction. Hope you managed to find something better afterwards.

My experience of being a manager and leader is that these roles, if anything, expose your own human fallibility like nothing else so there's no mileage at all in acting like a smartass to the people who work for you. A little humility goes a long way.

Also, thanks for making me laugh.

CBS rejects Super Bowl ad on benefits of medical marijuana
Arranged marriage was not a feature of the ancestral environment that these traits evolved in; that practice came about later.
That seems problematic. It appears to be equivalent to financial punishment for appealing a ruling. And in the EU competition law is enforced via the rule of essentially one woman and her department - competition laws are so vague that she effectively has the power to levy huge fines at will, unchecked by anything except the right to appeal, because she doesn't have to prove anything in court to begin with.

If the Commission is now able to levy such massive fines and lower them if you promise not to appeal, in a binding way, then they can simply make whatever sum they pull out of thin air 10% higher, give a 10% "reduction" for cooperation, and that's effectively a second fine for appealing the first.
Well, they also allow companies to publish want ads to the front page with comments disabled, and no indication that they are paid placements. But HN also doesn't bill itself as a neutral review aggregator.

It seems like a really backwards view to see your company as the "only game in town". Physically, it might be true, but you're competing with remote only companies, and regional competing cities. You're also indirectly competing with hubs such as California or Seattle where jobs are plentiful.

This is a really interesting comment, thanks for sharing.
Nope, it's not. It's Ruby, and the list could be an eager iterator, an actual list, a lazy iterator, a Mabye (though it would be clumsy in Ruby), etc.

And monads are not "more about collapsing structure". They are just a design pattern that follows a handful of laws. It seems like you're mistaking their usefulness in Haskell for what they are. A lot of other languages have monads either baked in or an element of the design of libraries. Expand your mind out of the Haskell box :)

It's only partially a question of quantity.

The larger factor is the amount of labor involved in dealing with a bad drive.

Their (large) operation seems automated so I assume if they have a single drive failure in machine #1234 (which has 50+ drives) they have an automated way of switching off said drive. Then they leave it there until the entire rack is replaced many years later.

Other operations have to send a human to manually replace every single failed drive as soon as it fails, which is very expensive as a % of the cost of the bare drive.
I don't feel that articles like that contribute to the discussion in a meaningful way. Sure it's fun to point out that politicians are all hypocrits, but it doesn't help anybody at all.

There are two possibilities:

a) Private Jets are an important source of pollution. Then we should complain about private jets all the time, not just when we want to smear the people who use them to travel to climate talks.

b) Or private Jets are not really that much of an issue on a global scale, and we should focus on whatever is actually discussed at Davos, rather than complain about how people get there.

The article makes no effort to quantify, or put into relation, the actual impact of people travelling with private jets, so I really don't see what it brings to the table, except triggering a bit of outrage here and there.
it's hard and mostly doesn't justify the cost.

Not the parent, but I think I can explain it decently.

So let's say that you swipe your card at a retailer, perhaps an IKEA.

IKEA has a card payments processor (ie: the vendor that the little terminal you sign on / stick the card into is from). This processor deals with a network (usually Visa or MasterCard, although there are smaller vendors such as Amex, Discover, etc) who ultimately connects the payment processors to the banks.

Now, for each transaction, your bank charges a fee to the network (the interchange fee, limited in the EU to like 0.3% I think) as a percentage of the total transaction. The network then charges some fees to the payment processor, which includes the fee that the bank charged. Finally the payment processor adds in their own fees and charges some unified fee schedule to the merchant (in our case, IKEA).
So you have any links? I’m very curious, and a quick search did not turn up anything.

Now I don't even post Glassdoor reviews until I have been gone for 6 months or more. And particularly with a small team, wait until there is significant turnover so my review won't be easily attributed to me.

Only the lower-class believe that "carbon taxes" are intended to stop global warming.

Everyone above that, certainly in the Davos Private Equity set, understand its just a chance to create a supranational currency using something other than income taxes/bonds as its credit/debit method.

Its silly to suggest Switzerland do something like that: Why make it more difficult for this to happen?
There is actually a neat way around this by using typed assembly language/proof carrying code. If you had a type preserving compiler down to machine code you could use a separate proof checker (which you presumably wrote by hand in machine code) to convince yourself that the resulting binary implements its spec. :)

The spec of a compiler is also relatively simple, so there isn't a lot of room for backdoors there.
Actually, I have those same concerns. Nevertheless, I have to admit that Valve made a lot more games easily playable than Feral over the last years. Don't get me wrong. I own quite a few Feral ported games and love the quality they deliver. But I also saw a lot of devs talking about how much work it would be to support another platform (even if it could be done in 2 hours as some others have demonstrated (comparing same engines and technical complexity here)), and therefore not caring about Linux and MacOS.

So I am very grateful for the results we see from Valve. Ultimately, we might see fewer native Linux ports on the one hand, but on the other hand, we might see more people using Linux as gaming is becoming a lot easier now.

Note that Godel's Incompleteness Theorems tell us that formal systems with sufficient power cannot 'prove themselves' in some sense, and we see that rather convincingly:

1. Implementations can be wrong, so we want a formal proof system

2. The proof system can be wrong, so we want to apply the proof system to itself

3. But the proof system may be wrong (either in implementation or specification) in a way such that its self-proof is actually invalid

At some point, we want to assert some property (completeness, correctness) of the system as a whole, but whenever we augment the system to allow this, that augmented system's own properties now come into question.
I guess we're going to do this every year now.

The rules are clearly not simple. If they were, McDonalds' team of lawyers wouldn't have been tripped up by them, and in particular if the rules were simple and constant then it'd have been clear what sources would count as independent evidence.

Regardless, expecting employees of companies to be perfect in every way and terminating something as valuable as the Big Mac trademark if they aren't is just bad government. People make mistakes, doubly so if the rules are badly written or being maliciously enforced.

Overall what I see is a near constant stream of attacks on American businesses by the EU, usually via impossibly vague or absurdly written rules. The EU claims to be based on a system of laws but it sure doesn't look like it when you see how things play out in reality.

Dropout is computationally expensive though.

Ask HN: How Do You Pick a Job?
When picking between jobs I typically have access to access to only some of the information - commute time, compensation, benefits, title, maybe a tiny peek into culture.

However, other things that matter hugely, such as "How good at managing is my manager?", "Will I feel connected to my coworkers?", "Will I find the work challenging and interesting?" or "Can I move my career forward here?" are almost impossible to get honest answers to, and often vary greatly between different teams within an organization.

How do you reduce uncertainty when it comes to those questions, and, if you accept a lot of uncertainty, how do you confidently pick a new job as an improvement in the face of it?

In that case I'd argue that he's saying Britain's economy did not get to benefit much from the EU as they did not adopt the currency, and as such he's moving his manufacturing to Singapore.

Him being against Brexit doesn't mean he thinks that pulling out of the EU will fix things in the UK overnight, especially when he was already critical of the economy and industries.

The UK has also still not pulled out of the EU and seems hell bent on ignoring the referendum. He probably needed a change sooner rather than later.

He might be selling luxury vacuums but a lot of that price is probably building them domestically. If he wants to move supply chains, what is he supposed to do? Wait until the UK leaves the EU and wait even longer for the economy to stabilize?

Even if he is a hypocrite, what does that matter? He can do whatever the hell he wants.
