If by "bathroom taps" you're talking about the faucet on your bathroom sink, I don't know about yours, but most of the ones I've seen don't have highly obvious branding. Usually I'd have to bend over and look at the front of it, right above where it's mounted on the sink, to see the manufacturer logo/name, and usually it's just etched into the chrome so it's not highly contrasting anyway.
We have similar people at our org. Most of the time the idea is the easiest part. They don't want to be bogged down in the details, compromises or restrictions necessary to bring it to life.

Why stick around for the hard part when you can get the promotion/cred for the idea and move on?
Near the end of the post, the author does say:

> I haven’t heard back from YouTube yet on the appeal I submitted.

To be fair, we don't know how much time has elapsed between submitting the appeal and making the Medium post.
>Ever work a shitty job in the food industry? Not all men are harassers, but anecdotally it seems like maybe 10-25% of men at these jobs will systematically harass every female employee below the age of 30.

10-25%? So, in all probability less than 1 in 4, and even close to just 1 in 10?

If only in all areas of life people (men and women) were jerks with merely those odds...
>> and it's not a good habit to start kids out sleeping with the lights on.

Why? I usually see issues going the other way, where kids from birth get absolute quiet and dark, then can't get to sleep without those conditions for the rest of their lives (i.e. adults who need blackout curtains and ear plugs to sleep).
Exactly. And since the orbit turns at the same speed as the Moon does, it works.

That is why in the article they offer a map of where the landing could have been and came up with https://hackadaycom.files.wordpress.com/2019/02/moonpossible...

You see the landings on the equator, and also the strip going over the pole.
Looking for a communications or marketing role in SF
Hi Hacker News, I'm an experienced communicator who started my career in journalism. I most recently covered a niche topic for an online news organization in the Bay Area. I've been looking to transition to communications or marketing. I was wondering if anyone here has, or knows of, any opportunities.
Who are they going to contact? Does Google/YouTube have a Customer Service Department? From everything I've read, no, they don't.
Superior Testing: Make Fakes Not Mocks
Let's be clear: there's nothing wrong with Amazon building a campus in LIC. In fact it's a good location for it.

The problem is that Amazon's end of the deal involved a lot of ill-defined promises, and their obvious unwillingness to negotiate was a sign of intent to strongarm the city into further concessions. Even if, on paper, it was a financial loss to have Amazon pull out, it sets a strong and positive precedent for New York and other cities across the country.
>doesn't have auto-off (will shine all night)

Sounds like an anti-feature to me; the last thing I want is a light that stays on all night.

What would be nice is a nightlight that can sense when I get out of bed in the middle of the night, and light up in red, so I can walk to the bathroom without running into things, and then turn off again when I get back into bed.
The idea to use hosting is much older. Many companies offered services like that even in the 90s with AWS it really scaled up and the quality for hosting then improved across the globe.

I lost a lot of respect for AOC from this fiasco, she demonstrated nothing but intense ignorance and silly rhetoric despite an otherwise decent early track record.
It is entirely appropriate. Google in general has famously terrible support, even for paying users, and YouTube in particular is almost never responsive to the concerns of content creators unless it becomes a PR issue.

Public call-outs are the only option they've left, so it's unquestionably what they deserve.
What about sending a copy of the finished video to archive.org, and (once you've gotten enough episodes/videos uploaded) applying to have you own Collection? (see https://help.archive.org/hc/en-us/articles/360016399952-Coll...)

How to Clean Your Phone Case, the Right Way
how do you determine the key values for each company?
It's things like this that should serve as good reminders just how young our "modern existence" is, how far we've come as a species in such a short time, and (potentially) how easy it could all slip away if we let it.

Maybe that's not the best way to put it, but I hope my point comes across anyhow...

Happy Birthday, Periodic Table. May you have 150+ more...
The thing is, it's not really hard. Quantum computing is hard. Managing IT infrastructure as a value-added component of the business that evolves continuously vs. a cost-center to be bought and forgot is actually not that hard. The only thing hard about that is culture shift.

It's all about leadership. The dearth of skilled leadership is the issue. I'd wager this is how some FAANG companies are managing this. They're hiring people that know what they're doing. One doesn't need to design and build their own servers and network hardware to do well at the scale of folks like Dropbox or Lyft.

Cloud adoption is all about making the issue someone else's problem, which is only kicking the can down the road.
Eventually, every company that does a thing will realize that their survival is contingent upon becoming a software company that does that thing.

Much of the motivation of the founders and enthusiasts was that governments and existing financial systems are flawed so it may be valuable to have a peer to peer financial system outside of that.
More than just being the first shot in 16:9, it was the first network show shot targeting HD television, before the networks fully agreed on what HD would be. It just never got the final HD treatment that it should have.

It's still a huge shame that Warner Brothers supposedly lost all the digital originals for the special effects shots, because they should have easily had a chance to recompose the show for true DVD quality and then again for a decent Blu-Ray rerelease. Some alternate universe has amazing Babylon 5 remasters today on Blu-Ray versus the letterboxed no-worse-than-SD DVD copies ours is left with.

(Another weird twist to the story here is that one tale has it that Warner Brothers blames French company Vivendi for losing the digital SFX archives, which WB loaned to Vivendi for a B5 game under development under the old Sierra games brand that was eventually cancelled. Which also isn't the only property that WB seems to have "lost" to Vivendi, as WB should probably be the owner of the No One Lives Forever videogame IP, by way of buying developer Monolith into WB Games, but Vivendi lost the publishing contract somewhere and no one seems to know in this timeline if WB actually does own it or not.)
I have quoted for parts in both the US and China. What I have seen is that generally, tooling is noncompetive - I got quotes for 22X the cost in the US...!

That said, the advice we got from most of the people we were quoting with was to get the tools made in China, import them to the US and produce the parts locally. We didn't end up doing that but I remember being amazed at the crazy tool quote arbitrage...
oh ok. it just means equality of outcome when it is mostly men at the top of something. like engineering.
Based on recent reports, PG&E filed for, and received money for, maintenance of this exact location, in the 2010 time frame, then submitted in writing a justification to postpone those exact repairs in 2013, then again at least once after that.. A speculation is, that if specific uses of those funds for other purposes are found, it could be the basis of criminal charges against individuals in the company.
As with all agglutinative languages, you learn a set of morphemes that are applicable to all words, and are crazily composable.

It’s a bit disingenuous to show the resulting words as examples of how hard these languages are. I’d say they are easier (but very different) than English.

How Do You Tell If Polyester Is Waterproof?
It has yuppie jobs and banker jobs. The middle class is deserting the place, and has been for quite some time. You need a healthy middle class. That HQ would have had quite a few tech jobs naturally, but also admin jobs, support jobs, and all the other middle class jobs and small businesses that will benefit around it. You would need construction, infrastructure, and facilities jobs for years to come to support such a large project. So on and so forth.
I read in several places (that I don't remember unfortunately) that prolog experts discouraged the use of SWI clpqr because it contained major mistakes. Does anyone know if it is still the case and if clpfd suffers from the same issues?

I agree it is acceptable if there is true equality of opportunity. In addition, I also agree that the level of education rarely is a strong indicator of success. If I had to make the choice again I wouldn't go to college and would have just taken online courses for much cheaper. The debt bubble that is going to burst when all of these college students who get unprofitable degrees is going to be a major catalyst in the economy and for the worse.
I suspect they want the new jobs and tax revenue.

business leaders, the governor, and the mayor

Do not really represent the people of NYC or NY state. The Governor won a "lesser of two evils" vote after a hilarious sham of a primary. The mayor is not widely liked, either, and has a history of cowing to special interests.

Business leaders, who cares?
I think he meant diversify "markets"... A.k.a work a part time job or something so in the event that your youtube revenue is nuked (as is happening more and more frequently), you'll still have a meaningful source of income (Many part time jobs have the ability to increase your hours as well if necessary).

What percentage of these workers benefit from itemizing deductions? This seems very helpful if you're itemizing, but I thought most people will just take the standard deduction, especially after the recent standard deduction increase.

Will you go back and do my classification for tax year 2018?
You speak with such confidence that YouTube is printing enough money to sustain such a massive additional cost but that's unlikely. Don't just take my word for it, the WSJ has reported on this matter [1] because Google doesn't release financial details for YouTube on its own.

You've done nothing but rattle off assertions about how YouTube just so profitable and won't shut down, how there's so much money in ad-supported video hosting, how somebody else can do it. These are fantastic claims, by which I mean they are rooted in fantasy.

I have no trouble believing that this represents an existential threat to YouTube. If Google massively shrinks or shuts down YouTube as a free and global content platform, it's not just their loss, it's ours as well.

[1] http://www.wsj.com/articles/viewers-dont-add-up-to-profit-fo...

Relevant snippet from the WSJ article:

> The online-video unit posted revenue of about $4 billion in 2014, up from $3 billion a year earlier, according to two people familiar with its financials, as advertiser-friendly moves enticed some big brands to spend more. But while YouTube accounted for about 6% of Google’s overall sales last year, it didn’t contribute to earnings. After paying for content, and the equipment to deliver speedy videos, YouTube’s bottom line is “roughly break-even,” according to a person with knowledge of the figure.
> You are now worth $300-400k per year.

Are you sure this number still applies if you're outside of US (London, Toronto, Sydney)? My understanding is that numbers in Europe are nothing like those in the US.

Yes, there are several major things planned (in addition to the fact that every release touches dozens of smaller UI things; you should see what the Zulip 1.3 settings UI was like!). A few notes:

* There's active work on replacing the top-navbar/search area with something nice and clean that displays the stream description, number of subscribers, and other details.

* Our current visual density is really good for power users, but . zooming to 110% makes some people a lot happier and makes Zulip look more modern. We're working on changing the default visual density to look more like that, while leaving the current styling as an option for power users.

* You should try the night theme (in "display settings") -- a lot of folks who are picky about design prefer that one.
I'm a big fan of atomic committing. "Commit early and commit often," was one of my first lessons I was taught while learning gitiquette. It tends to be a point of contention sometimes when developers get into the nitty gritty of what constitutes enough of a change for a commit, but I personally have always felt like you can never have too many commits. (As long as you write good messages. Without those you're gonna have a bad time.)
That's fine. I think it's just conventional wisdom that makes this seem like the "simpler" solution, and I'm a bit allergic to that, but to each their own.
Even at the highest quality, you'd only be getting Youtube's post-compression copies of the videos, no?

Most utilities are regulated at some level. I am not a PG&E employee but work in the industry.

Just about every utility goes through a rate case with the local/county/state governments where they make the arguments for an increase in utility rates. This usually takes into account capital spending and new or significantly improved infrastructure to justify a rates increase.
A couple of points:

- Yes, the Qing wiped out the Dzunghars. But that was not a Chinese policy. That was a policy the Chinese objected to.

- The Uyghurs are not survivors of the Dzunghar genocide. The Dzunghars were wiped out. The Uyghurs moved into the void left by the Dzunghars. This differs conceptually from indigenous Mexicans retreating into the mountains -- the Uyghurs look more like the Spanish in that analogy.

- The two centuries since the conquest of Xinjiang or the American Revolution are not, from a historical viewpoint, a long time. Chinese relations with the area of Xinjiang go back thousands of years, not a trifling couple of centuries. The idea that this is a long-lasting situation comes across as strange. America is known for its exceptional newness as a country, not for its long-established traditions.
"Can you please point out where?"

Your issues/questions indicate that you either aren't familiar with the talk or you disagree with the basic assumptions that he outlines. Questions like "Can you provide any study that lays out a path with well researched" are nonsensical given that we obviously aren't there yet.

If you disagree with his stated assumptions (which I'm not just going to repeat here since the video is short), then we can just agree to disagree because I find them compelling.
The whole point of the article is that the ostensible goal of equality of outcome was used to justify moving away from equality of opportunity.

"Given the phenomenal academic success of women in higher education over the last 35 years, reflected in an eye-popping cumulative gender college degree gap of 13 million more college degrees for women than men, how do we justify the continued gender favoritism for college women in terms of female-only scholarships, awards, fellowships, programs and many other campus resources?"

If we had true "equality of opportunity" there wouldn't be either male-only scholarships or female-only scholarships, etc. I totally agree with your point that equality of opportunity doesn't mean equality of outcome, but this isn't what equality of opportunity looks like either.
No, but the circumference of a rectangle does not scale linearly with the area of that rectangle. The area increases quadratically with the circumference.
By 1938 radioactivity, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, and quantum phenomena had been observed in the laboratory. Quantum mechanics and theories of special and general relativity were already well-developed. I think that the 20th century would have seen technologies mushroom from these new scientific observations even without WW II.

Of course scientific discovery continued after 1950. The difference is that newly discovered physical [1] phenomena -- though very impressive in their own ways -- don't have the same obvious technological applications as ionizing radiation, nuclear phenomena, and quantum mechanical phenomena. The discovery of gamma ray bursts, continental drift, the cosmic microwave background, and exoplanets were all very scientifically exciting. But they don't have obvious technological applications the way that nuclear fission or the photoelectric effect did. It may be possible that we ran low on interesting physical phenomena amenable to incorporation in new inventions much sooner than we ran low of interesting physical phenomena in general.

[1] I almost forgot biology. I would say that the progress of biological knowledge and applied biotechnology has been impressive in recent decades, even if it hasn't matched the hype around the time of the original Human Genome Project. I also think that biotechnology has yet to reach its peak rate of development.

This is not good, but not as bad as it could be. The examples they provided are the most painful and least effective ways to terminate one's self. That should deter at least some kids from trying or completing it.

I've got 400Mbs/35Mbps with no cap (literally unlimited) which would cap out at a round 4TB a day if I ever had a reason and could saturate it.

The problem is that government isn't any better at maintenance than private companies, as far as I can see.

Where does the money come from? You either raise prices (taxpayers are pissed) or subsidize from the general fund (taxpayers are pissed).

So now your feelings are hurt, to the point you're willing to turn away cash? Politicians who turn away jobs so they can virtue signal on Twitter should be deeply ashamed of themselves. They're either malicious, economically illiterate, or very likely both. Now the adult in the room needs to fix what AOC and her minions have been up to.
