I disagree. I think vendor lock-in is actually much worse with SaaS because you rarely control your own data or infrastructure. Quality can slowly erode over time and migrating from one SaaS provider to another is often more technically and contractually onerous than migrating between on-premises software products. SaaS apps are often data silos, where interoperability is no longer a necessity (or selling point).

Currently looking for product management positions. I have worked as a PM at small startups the last couple of years and am looking to work on a product with a broader reach and a more established team. With my diverse experience (programmer, designer, and operations) I help facilitate communication and keep everyone focused on the customer.

I would suggest taking a look at the book How to Read a Book by Mortimer Adler. The title of the book does not do it justice.

It covers analytical and syntopical reading. But it also addresses how to read different types of texts
There was recently a segment on NPR with a researcher for future automation. I’ll try to dig up a link but he made the opposite point of you. He claimed self-driving cars will give us more traffic but it will be much more efficient thanks to software. The lanes would be able to get shrunk from 12ft to 6ft due to better control and by doing that, you’re now able to possibly double your available lanes on a single road for the increase in cars.
HN has discussed Pinebooks over the years, but I too was hoping for some discussion about the recent announcements.

Sure, but at some point people _have_ to park their cars to get to their final destination (do some business in a building, or whatever). Self driving cars by their nature can go on unattended on the roadways, after letting their person out, to avoid parking fees.
Streak | Engineering Site Lead | Vancouver, BC | ONSITE
https://www.streak.com/careers/vancouver-site-lead

Streak is establishing our first engineering office outside of San Francisco. We know that it takes focus and intentional planning to make a distributed office a success, and we're looking to partner with an experienced engineer to take on the role of site lead and build out the office.

Your day to day will include:

- Engineering: We're not particular about where in the stack you're looking to contribute (see our existing engineering reqs for some possibilities, but we're flexible), but we are looking for somebody with a strong engineering background who wants to be hands-on as the team gets off the ground. As the team grows, we'll figure out together what division of time makes sense.

- People Management: Work with Vancouver engineers to make sure they're happy, healthy, and engaged. Ensure that the team grows in a way that makes sense for both the office and Streak overall. Facilitate communication both within the site and with the San Francisco team.

- Recruiting: Lead hiring in Vancouver and work with the Streak recruiting team to source great candidates. Attend meetups and events, be the face of Streak in Vancouver.

We are excited about you if you:

- You're an experienced engineer. You've contributed significantly to an evolving codebase and have the learnings to show from it.

- You're an experienced leader. You've been a people manager, a product manager, or a tech lead for a significant team or product.

It would be phenomenal if:

- You have experience with distributed teams, especially in management.

- You're familiar with the tech ecosystem in Vancouver. We're new here ourselves and would love to partner with someone who knows their way around.

Learn more about our plans for Vancouver here: https://www.streak.com/offices/vancouver

> Either the boys surrounded and approached the old man to stand intimidatingly close as WaPo reported, or they did not

The video clearly shows boys standing around a man, with one of them face to face with him. That is right in the video, clear as day. That is very much a clear fact. What you seem intent on breaking down is whether or not this was seen as some form of intimidation tactic and I'm trying to explain to you that people can, and do, interpret personal encounters like that in varying ways.

You seem to be one who can't understand the way in which people are able to react and interpret actions of people different. You asked me my opinion of the situation and then proceeded to tell me that my perception of reality is wrong. I watch that video and I personally feel that they are being intimidating, how am I in a 'confused nature of reality'. I am watching people confront each other and reacting to the situation.

Your whole argument on this video boils down to "your personal feelings don't match mine, so you're wrong".

I did not actually research it in depth, just posted what Amazon provided to all sellers. My plan is to quickly dispose of existing stock and quit these markets, as my sales do not justify trying to comply with local rules.

To be fair, if USA states would start enforcing sales tax collection on foreign sellers - it would be the same story. But for now at the very least states go mostly after out of state sellers, not foreign ones.

If it were placebo I should have been perfectly happy taking acetominophen or ibuprofen for my sinus headaches (back when I didn't realize they were sinus headaches). Sudafed PE causes my nose to drain and sinus headaches to go away, I wish I knew about it sooner.
I find the line “You’re exactly the sort of person this happens to" very telling.

When people are destroyed with "but an accusation", it's very rare for the accusation to have been the whole of it. Roseanne, Louis C.K., Weinstein, Bill Cosby - it wasn't the accusation that destroyed these people, they had been undermining themselves for decades by hurting others. The accusation that took root only knocked out the lynchpin to the facade.

As to whether the author is actually a terrible person who has been hurting people for decades or not, I don't know, but that specific line definitely describes these people. They are exactly the sort of person whose lives get destroyed over an accusation - because they've built up enough previously-obfuscated proof to go with it.

I'm not very knowledgeable, I'm an 80s kid.. so US comics === super hero (also movies to an extent, Donner's Superman was a massive event, Robocop, TMNT ..).

So my answer would be .. no. US comics = Disney + Marvel + DC. I actually struggle to remember anything else. I'd be happy to know more though..
It's difficult to like if you don't live there. If you come from outside you first start by paying the obnoxious entry fee (toll) just to cross into it. Then there is zero free parking, and I've seen it as high as $50-$60 for one day to park in the marina. If you do try to park on a street late at night (going to a club) you are really rolling the dice on whether your car gets broken into. Also, it smells like weed and/or feces everywhere.

But if you lived in say, the Mission, and didn't own a car, those things would be mitigated. (You'd get used to the smell).

Best practice is to keep it simple. For example, if the Makefile is written in such a way that lazy set or immediate set doesn't matter, then it is not complex at all. But these facilities are there for achieve logic. Complex logics are complex, especially when they are entangled. For example, we often use build tools to generate Makefile. Some of the logic is implemented in the build tool; some of the logic is implemented using Makefile -- of course the result is complex. There is no rule of thumb on how to organize complex logic, that is what programmers are paid (so much) to do. Respect your job and treat complex logic carefully, then you won't make too much a mess -- at least do not complain about it after making one.

For semi-new monitors you can find super in depth reviews at http://www.tftcentral.co.uk. They often include input lag. I highly recommend that site to get the true input lag of your monitor (without having to resort to your own tests).

g2g typically measures the response time of the monitor which is a different thing than input lag. Most manufacturers won't even list input lag on their specs even though it's one of the most important attributes of a monitor since it affects everything.

I could see the reaction time being a fun way to get an average with enough samples. I did 3 sets of 5 and it was 201, 194 and 196 as the average. But I think reaction time and being able to perceive input delay are different skill sets. I'm almost 40 so my reaction time sucks, but I can still notice a delay difference in apps when pressing a key.
The roads are a public good. Tolling all of them to decrease usage just screws poor people in the same way upping the gas tax to discourage driving would. In order to raise cost enough to make a difference you basically have to screw the poor by definition because (broadly speaking) they make up the bulk of the price sensitive users and will be the first to do something else.

Tolling all the roads is like putting a fee on a public park because too many people use it. It defeats the point of having public roads in the first place.

The whole point of public goods is that the benefit to society of making them freely (or close enough that everyone can afford it, e.g. municipal water) available outweighs the cost.

Commute traffic is very bursty and very unidirectional. People generally don't commute by taxi today, so replacing commute trips with taxis would both increase the number of taxis and cause the pattern of these new taxis to not match current patterns.

This is easy to solve. Do not allow vehicles to operate without a human inside of them. It's only prudent from a safety standpoint. Driving is the most dangerous thing humans do regularly by far. Software is the most unreliable system humans use regularly. Combining the two without human oversight is criminally negligent at the current date.

Facebook, by nature, is a dehumanizing company. They have over 1 billion user accounts...

As someone who works for a software company, I have never considered it my responsibility to check whether a user is "spending money they don't have" on my product. How is that tenable?

I've also never targeted underage users - before you throw me under that bus for no reason, as well..

Definitely not the case. Lots of people live in the city of San Francisco, though it's also true a lot of people commute in from the South and East Bays.

There are good things about the city, but the homeless problem (and really, that's what I think this is about) is a very serious issue that makes the place much, much less desirable.
Sure, sure, but did you get that kind of throughput with kafka on java? Most folks (Confluent, for example) are still on java 8 which has some very severe limitations with regards to throughput.
Hacker News Later: Digest No. 7 (Feb 1, 2019)
A little more context: the article is from 2005, when Vice was still a hipster/edgy/provocative publication focused on shocking and with no political leaning, largely led by Gavin McInnes (of later alt-right Proud Boys fame).

While Vice largely change its approach after McInnes left, it hasn't removed or addressed the articles from those darker times.
Shouldn't this be linking to the the source article rather than a block post that just quotes two lines of it?

Thanx | SF, DEN, Remote | Principal Engineer | Full-time | https://www.thanx.com/careers/job/1466586/

Americans spend more than $5 trillion on restaurants, retail, and services each year. Nearly 90% of those transactions happen in a real-world store. Data is king and online it powers personalized customer experiences and product recommendations. Offline, however, it’s still 1999. Brands are blind to their customers, causing them to spend more and more money on “megaphone” marketing with the same message to everyone. The result is an ever-increasing wave of generic spam that makes it hard for consumers to build deeper, data-driven relationships with their favorite brands. No wonder brick-and-mortar stores are being left behind.
In a nutshell, Thanx ingests data, provides insights, enables actions to drive growth in the business. As a platform, Thanx is a horizontally-scalable, reliable, high-throughput, low-latency system.
Think of us as Salesforce meets Google Adwords for offline retail. Thanx is backed by some of the best investors in the world — Sequoia Capital, Icon Ventures, and Andy Rachleff (CEO Wealthfront, cofounder Benchmark Capital), to name a few.

Thanx Engineering
Yes, we have an app you can download. But that represents no more than 5% of our codebase. The power of Thanx is massively scalable data pipelines, microservices that power four 9s uptime, intelligent purchase normalization, and matching algorithms — we don’t show that stuff off publicly.

Here’s more on who we are:
• Team: early engineers at AWS, Cloudera, Climate, Zenefits, Okta. Experience from startups and successful product companies like Google, Facebook, Intuit, Disney. This is an elite Eng team, period.
• Growth: 10x YOY data growth; $100M+ delivered to merchants; 200% team growth; modern, rapidly-evolving platform.
• Tech: scalable, reliable, high-throughput, low-latency backend systems; beautiful, performant, responsive UIs; user-friendly mobile apps.
• Culture: data-driven decision-making, risk-taking, no hierarchy, collaboration & shared responsibility, testing, and continuous improvement. As a remote-friendly team, we have flexible work hours. We work and play hard. Be warned! when it comes to Mario Kart, we are super competitive!
