This subscription hub you talk about is kind of like what setapp is doing (except it's just one flat fee). They have a couple pieces of software that I'd normally be paying for separately but the single 9.99 subscription ends up working out better for me.

Because paying for something doesn't necessarily mean that they won't continue to use your information in the surveillance economy. You might not see ads anymore, but that doesn't mean that they're respecting your privacy.
Interesting and somewhat paranoid reaction. To me these codes discourage behaviours which aren't conducive to a healthy and productive working environment.
I wish they would ban swim diapers altogether. You never know what's in there, there probably is something, if the parents see the necessity. Just ban child and parent for a month if they can't hold it and spoil the pool for everyone.
Yes, which is why it's important to regularly "shock" the pool to oxidize the chloramines, typically by superchlorinating the pool, but much more effectively by adding ozone.

> Your goals shouldn't be opposed to the company's goals, and if they are, you're creating a problem on the team.

Wait, let's step back there.

I didn't say I'm opposed to the company's goals. That's something different. I'm not saying: "well, I think we should have no customers whatsoever, and lose as much money as we possibly can". I'm saying: "If you want me to do deployments outside of business hours, you will have to pay me extra for doing so, since you're eating into my time with friends and family".

> Doing "as little work as possible" in particular would immediately put you in the category of "toxic" here

I said 'want to do as little work as possible'. That's something different from doing it. I'm not sitting at my desk browsing the hours away on forums. If I could get paid the same for working 5 hours less a week though, I'd take that option in a heartbeat.

> specifically because it's completely unnecessary to living a balanced life.

Life doesn't come easy to everyone, and a balanced life even less easily. Some people need more time than others to recuperate from a week's work. If it comes easier to you, all the more power to you, but it doesn't to everyone.

> The only person that helps is you, as opposed to what a healthy person does, and that's find ways to help both themselves and the company.

Sometimes there is no good way that helps you and the company at the same time.

I disagree. GPUs have a fixed vector width. AMD GPUs have 64x32-bit vectors, while NVidia GPUs have 32x32-bit vectors.

What's being discussed here is a variable lengthed vector being supported on the hardware level, which is very, very different than how GPUs work.

Ask HN: What's the URL of the Tech Blog with Colored Bubbles in the Header?
There's an engineer / UX designer / blogger who has a personal website with articles that often get posted to HN, but I cant remember the name.

I has a beige / light brown background, nice typography, and the most distincitve feature are these "bubbles" or colored circles in a cluster in the upper left and in the footer.

When you hover over the bubbles they turn different colors.

Does anyone in the HN community know the name of this site of the top of their head? Thanks!
Looks like this is the fix:

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/9060cb719e61b685ec0...
The article says he's tracking when recipients open emails and click links. So for every email one of his users sends there's some potential network traffic and data to be stored. He was probably able to offer the service for free originally because those features weren't added until after the subscription service launched. His AWS bill before adding those features was probably a few hundred dollars per month at the most. He also mentioned he is financially secure from selling a previous spam tool he created, so he could afford to run it for free for a while.
Thank you for clarifying.

I do like how the Actor Model and Erlang work arrived at the same concepts independently. It seems like an extra validation of the concept.

Problems caused by tech often have tech solutions as well. I think it's a mistake to assume the justice system is the best place to address "evil". More evil and injustice is addressed by individuals, innovation and grass roots movements than the courts.

You see exactly the same over here in the UK, and in many other countries. But then that's the case with many voting systems alas. Which needs to evolve beyond a token X in a limited choice every N years. It's like a carpenter going to do a job, and only allowing him to pick from either a hammer or a saw and he has to stick with using only that same tool for years and future jobs in that time. That's politics today alas.

Though when we keep failing to produce a simple electronic voting system, a problem shared around the World. You wonder if perhaps the World could come together and group design an open source solution that the people of the World could audit and help improve, until we all become happy. That would be a start.
In college I worked at an environmental testing company. I worked there for 3 summers. The first summer I worked there I worked closely with a woman named Shawn (name not changed because fuck her). I'm not saying she was bipolar, but she would wildly swing from having good days and having bad ones. Good days were fine sometimes really great, the entire department would be productive. Bad days were fucking terrible, she brought everyone down with her attitude, nit-pickyness, and comments (mind you she wasn't a manager).

Fast forward to the next summer, I was dreading working there because of her. But they gave me a raise to come back and I needed the money for college so I sucked it up. Day one - she's not there! She was pregnant, close to her due date, and was taking time off. That summer the office ran like clockwork. A few ups and downs here and there, but very even keeled. I spent another summer there and she never returned, I guess she decided to be a stay at home mom for a while.

Even years later it's hard to pinpoint just what exactly she did that was insanely toxic, it was just a number of things. But it was clear as day it was happening and made it easy to spot at other places where I've worked.
Do you have any recommendation for an at-home test? I've considered doing a lab study, but at-home sounds much better. I didn't realize that was an option.
A Dystopia is only recognizable when juxtaposed against a state that is much different from it. That is, a Dystopia would develop over time, with many not even recognizing the gradual changes; it's not something that develops suddenly. For example, it's not hard to imagine that our world could be considered a Dystopia to some who lived hundreds or thousands of years ago. Or, it could even be considered a Utopia to others. Utopias and Dystopias are only interesting as thought experiments to imagine what Humans could be possible about. There's never actually been one or nor will there ever be one.
Sleep apnea is actually much more than just snoring. It's actually a period of time during sleep where the person stops breathing.

As a non-brit having lived in London for a few years my (mostly but not entirely tounge in cheek) take on it is that it seems pretty much all parts of England loathes every other part of England, to variying degrees; while all other parts of the kingdom also dislikes most of England, to varying degrees. The only thing that seems to unite the British, in my mind, is non-londoner's (and some londoner's too!) dislike for London! (Particularly Westminster, as you mention.)

I suppose they all unite also when England performs well in big soccer games. If they don't do well however...

So my first reaction was that this is just a vanity metric.

However, in the public cash equity markets there is an actual benefit to having a "large" market cap.

note: Here I'll use market cap for public companies and valuation for private companies as measuring roughly the same thing even though they have some differences.

One of the greatest tail winds a stock can have is to be in a popular index, this means that ETF's will be a forced buyer of their stock.

Most indexes have a market cap component and the amount of money tracking large cap indexs dwarfs the amount in small cap indexs so a larger valuation is obviously useful.

It can also help public companies borrow as debt to equity is a ratio that most people consider when choosing to loan( buy bonds) from a company so again market cap matters.

It also helps a public company pay its employee's in restricted shares as these can be cashed out immediately by employees for actual money as the shares come off restriction so again a growing market cap has the benefit of giving employee's raises without any money leaving the company.

Microsoft used this better than anyone during the 80's and 90's.

It's less clear to me why a valuation of over $1B matters to a private company though.

Even stock options don't really seem to matter as a reason for wanting a larger valuation as typically employee's can't immediately convert options to cash. In that case only the IPO price(hence public valuation would matter).

Is there any reason other than signalling that this company belongs with the likes of Uber and Airbnb?

EDIT agree with the child posters but they don't really answer the question of why $1B is important for the valuation in a way that, say, $990M would not be.
The problem arises when the company exits at below the ridiculous valuation, inflated by the up rounds.

Investors in the unicorn know it's a ridiculous market cap, but will lock in preferential payout on the exit. This means that while the employee private equity may increase in value, the employees get pennies on the dollar during the exit because the majority of the payout goes to the investors who inflated the price to begin with.

It gets worse when employees pay taxes on the equity at the inflated valuation, but there are ways claw that back later.

How do you figure? What do you think a system like this entails?
Look at the eyeball, compare reflection, it’s easy this way.
When taken to an extreme, self-preserving behaviors may be considered enablement - something actually harmful to the growth and ultimate potential of an individual in certain contexts. The ultra-wealthy dynasties to an extent practice both nepotism and meritocratic beliefs within their private lives. People rarely seem to think that coddled children (aside from perhaps literal royalty) are a net positive across cultures and history, for example. I have “people of means” relatives but they have not been a material factor in my successes (nor failures) and while they may help family to some extent, it is well understood how entangling money and family can ruin both things and the policy is to assist where it makes sense long-term but that earning your place is important for both family honor and sustainability. Lying / cheating has a time and place (primarily to save one’s family from peril or to correct injustices and wrongs against the family) but when it comes to measuring raw merit at least my family to my understanding, despite many old world tendencies, does not compromise here.
if you're raising at a higher val, then owning a smaller % of something worth more is not a bad thing...
The value of the company has increased either way, the fact a round happens doesn't change the underlying value but merely signals it. Since employees generally can't sell their shares either way that signaling doesn't impact them. So, in your example, before the round you actually owned $500 and after the round you own $50.

This thread has been comprehensively derailed and is an embarrassment to informed discussion. Imagine if a major Chinese firm had 'forgot' to document a microphone, how many people here would be making excuses? This is an astonishing reflection of the quality of technical discussion.

Anyone who is even remotely familiar with hardware design will know this cannot be an accident in any way and form. It's there because its designed to be there. The fact that its not documented takes it firmly in the territory of extreme malice and dystopic surveillance unconstrained by any ethical concerns.

The only folks for whom this is not a concern are those unburdened by any sense of societal or ethical concern. They represent those sections of the tech community who have zero compass or qualms and do not see any problem building a toxic dystopic society.

Does viewing this link make one a criminal under the UK's new legislation on viewing material likely to be of help to a terrorist?

Anyway the page has disappeared but can be seen on the Wayback Machine. The page itself seems not to contain any information that would fall under that legislation but perhaps some of the links it contains might.

As it is in the Wayback Machine and that is mirrored I wonder if the mere existence of the mirror would be enough to expose the hosting entity to a risk under the UK legislation.
I worked as a project and later program manager at a multinational. I am unsure what a TPM is...

Hopefully it is just your perception that they provide no value, and if it is their own perception, hopefully they will gain sufficient experience to recognize their own value.

PMs, besides planning, measuring project progress and making sure the budget, tools and people are allocated, are also responsible for building the team, its values/culture, managing conflict, communicating the needs/issues/achievements of the project team to management and assuring the project goals align to business needs.

I know... blahblahblah... maybe an example works better?

The very first time I acted as a 'project manager' was in a team of 2 (me included). I was hired to replace a toxic employee and tasked to clean up the IT operations of a company's European field offices. As my technically brilliant colleague was getting me up to speed on the history, IT architecture, issues, etc., would often say: "I think we should do ABC," to which I often replied, "That's a great idea! Let's do it!"

Quite quickly, our collaboration took the form of me manning the phones, handling the communications with the regional leads, getting sign-off for the budgets and him implementing the solutions he himself proposed. I basically created the space for him to be successful.

Though initially I did miss doing the technical work, eventually I found it more satisfying enabling his, and therefore our mini-team's success.

Years after we had both left the company (our local field office was closed and neither of us opted to relocate) he told me how impressed he was that I had fixed all of their IT issues in under a year. I had to point out to him that all I did was listen to him, take his advice, and make it possible for him to implement his own proposals.

That is what a PM does.
