I definitely overthink purchases but it's also interesting to consider. I think you make a great point that the dash buttons are a terrible fit for many things. Food feels like a challenge since I have ever-changing dietary needs and desires. I also hate the markup game that Instacart and Amazon play and not seeing a price gives me anxiety.

I immediately think of clothes detergent, toilet paper, shampoo, cleaning supplies with dash buttons--although I move frequently so I did not buy for these instances and I wonder if many people say they would buy them for those and then do not.

But to me, they fit the perfect use case: static location inside a cupboard, there is a fixed amount sent, the demand is inelastic and not seasonal, and the product itself doesn't change much (I don't need to compare when I buy, ever). That sounds perfect to me! I don't want to waste time and energy shopping for these 8 things.

I really wonder why this is the case and I'd love to understand why it couldn't work. Perhaps it was marketed to a more innovative audience and not to the people who do laundry, wash their dishes, etc? I hope I'm not generalizing.
"clusterfuck" and "ansible scripts" tend to go hand-in-hand no matter what you're deploying, though - at least in my experience. That said, Ansible scripts used by OpenShift take the cake so far for me, some of the worst I ever encountered.

But guess what? You don't need all that, which is exactly what things like k3s are exploiting.

Yet, I think the HN crowd does not represent the whole world and is biased towards "hip" languages.
The common joke became that devstack was the only thing actually tested and if something ran there it was considered done...
Types, I never could stand them. I started out programming C++ for tiny side projects, eventually moving to python2 for a majority of my projects until I got into a programming class in my highschool and was taught java, and I hated java as soon as I touched it. Java's type system was gross to me, I never really got advanced enough in C++ to use types much and python has no type so I just assumed java was an outlier and types where a stupid addition by it. I continued to believe this even once I got a job in node, until I used typescript. Actually seeing why you would want a static typing system, and being old enough to appreciate the structure they provided changed me, would hardly consider using a dynamically typed language for even a reasonably sized project now.
It's a war between economically and economically motivated people.

The majority of critically endangered species are amphibians. Around 30% of all amphibians are classified as critically endangered, endangered or vulnerable by the IUCN. Why have you never heard this fact before? Because practically no-one actually gives a shit about conservation.

The major conservation charities are a boondoggle. Their work often has little or no basis in science, their priorities are completely disconnected with protecting biodiversity, they often work to "save" species that are under no real threat and their efforts to protect charismatic megafauna are often detrimental to broader conservation issues.

As highlighted by this article, the impact of their activities on native peoples ranges from "highly disruptive" to "grievous and persistent abuses of human rights". In many places, the activities of conservation charities resembles the British Raj; vast numbers of people are uprooted from their homes and displaced to make room for wildlife reserves, despite those people often playing a vital role in protecting the ecosystem they inhabit.

As someone who has worked on scraping sites that really didn't want to be scraped, there is all kinds of interference with dev tools in the wild.

There are many ways to detect it's open (eg. https://github.com/sindresorhus/devtools-detect) and it's also possible to mess with it without knowing it's open. A method that's wildly used is firing the debugger break command many times a second, along with other stuff that makes using the tools nearly impossible (slows the browser down to a halt)
> The odds of both of those people entering the same piece of data incorrectly is tiny.

This is just not correct. There may be a systematic reason why they are making a mistake (e.g. a miss-pronounced word) in which case increasing the confidence intervals does not increase the accuracy. Check out the concepts of accuracy, precision etc from physical sciences.
Humanity vs. Clippy: Lessons from Microsoft's Failed Virtual Assistant
In my opinion, There aren't a lot of good books which appeal to the Indian market. That being said the Indian IT business environment is heavily influenced by the Vally Companies operate, therefore, you can use them as a starting point and read them.

IIM bangalores' Edx courses are a good guide as well. It would help understand out IP related stuff as it is different from that of the US and also accounting which is a bit different from what is practised in the US.

Since you asked for books, here are a few I think would be good ones that would get you going:

1. Fortune at the bottom of the pyramid
2. Made in India by Kishor Biyani
3. High-Performance Entrepreneur by Subroto Bagchi

I have no idea what goes on in Pakistan as far as software business is concerned.
I think it is also important to remember that users are not the only consumers of a software development pipeline.

If developers don't want to work for you because they feel held back in creativity or career progression, support staff have to stay up late for downtime deployments, and managers and/or ownership feel blind to the process, then you can still have a miserable company with happy users.

Quality of the work is an important part of a compensation plan. Eventually this hits an organization's bottom line in the form of turnover, employee productivity, etc. In software development with high salary, difficult to recruit employees, this can be significant.

One of my all time favourite HN, and general, comments can be found here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6033481

You seem obsessed with laws, as if they possess value and worth in and of themselves, when really they are a very high latency sidechannel of society and power.

Changed legal status tends to follow social status.

Do you think, for example, slavery, universal suffrage, women's suffrage, or homosexuality, are about to be made illegal again?

In some areas it took decades for the laws to reflect reality.

It should be noted, too, that, generally speaking, the police retain retain the power to arrest you. Period. They don't need a reason. They'll just arrest you and charge with whatever they want. Roll a dice. You can get arrested for crossing the street, or cycling home, or holding your tongue the wrong way on a Tuesday. They don't need drug laws for that.

It's usually up to some government prosecutor to decide whether they will go ahead with the case. And in my experience, at least here in Australia, the public prosecutor tends to have their head screwed on way more than the kids in blue. Who for some reason feel it necessary to take guns to the bakery to get their lunch. How insecure do you have to be.
Indeed - and we observe that quite a lot of factory line work that doesn't specifically require hefting large parts around is done by women. Especially in clothing and electronics.

Software Estimating – Tips (Risk First)
I really hope this is genuine, it's massive news if it is. What I find interesting about this prospect is how it somewhat solves the "storage" problem of current photovoltaic (electricity producing) panels.

Does anyone know if hydrogen could be used to produce to replace gas based power plants to provide base load power overnight / during long periods of cloud ?

Fingers crossed!
What makes you think this would be even remotely reasonable to conclude?

The Great Firewall exists to prevent Chinese citizens from accessing politically subversive content. The only EU equivalent I can think of is Germany blacklisting certain illegal content providers (i.e. nazis and child porn) that can't easily be shut down.

The reason access to child porn (or marketplaces for illegal substances) is prohibited is that possession and distribution is illegal and therefore even mere use of the services may constitute a crime (even if users don't distribute the illegal goods themselves).

The reason access to nazi sites is disrupted is that these sites are actively inciting racial hatred, holocaust denialism etc. So if you want to make a Great Firewall analogy this is probably the closest equivalent.

The GDPR specifically defines human rights and a mechanism to enforce those for EU residents (i.e. reporting violations to supervising data protection agencies which may use fines when the violator refuses to comply or acts too maliciously). Blocking those sites wouldn't make sense as the users aren't doing anything wrong by accessing those sites (it's the sites that are abusing the users).

The copyright reform also doesn't really target users -- article 13 just eliminates the safe harbor provision that allows file sharing services to distance themselves from the content they host. Access to those sites is not illegal and access to illegally hosted content is treated no differently in the EU than in the US.

In other words, aside from the usual anti-consumerist fearmongering about the GDPR your argument could have been made equally well when the US started shutting down the initial wave of file sharing services (from Napster all the way to MEGA). But instead it turned out to be more profitable to just sue people on a case by case basis.

The free alternative (without quote, they really are free) are mostly other free software with a FramaSoft branding, in order to make it look like a coherent offering rivaling Google suite.

If you go in the documentation of each software, you will see what project it comes from.

For example, Framabag is Wallabag, Framanotes is Turtl, Framapad is Etherpad, etc...
This "EU firewall" already exists. If a website violates European law but is hosted in a foreign country, ISPs may be ordered to block access to it. The US has a similar system in place, I believe.
Hi author here,

I’ve been working for a while on documenting a “Risk-First” approach to understanding software development, which for me explains a lot of the behaviours we espouse in Agile, Lean, DevOps etc.

However, I wanted to try and apply this to see what insights it brings to bear on various development processes - starting with the Estimation process.

Hopefully this will be useful to some people.

I am currently working on scoping further pages explaining how risk aversion/management is embedded in other practices involved in software development, I would love to hear your thoughts on that.
Forgive me for being so bold as to call you an utterly ignorant person, devoid of any ground realities of South Asian politics.

If history is anything to go by, India has never been anyone’s proxy.

Pakistan allowed its land to be used as military bases for US during wars and also peace times. They armed the Mujahideen’s to the teeth with assistance from CIA to wage proxy war against USSR.

It’s a known fact that the most murderous terrorists in the world find safe havens in Pakistan, bin Laden being one among them. Furthermore, the top brass of military and ISI establishment is in cahoots with these terrorists.

That sir, is what you call a proxy.

Remind me of one instance where India allowed foreign powers to use its land or resources for anything that would serve a foreign powers purpose?

I don’t know your allegiance but all of your comments are pro-Pakistani + Anti-India.

As far as things ending badly is concerned, be rest assured, India is sensible enough to fend-off on its own. Ever since it’s independence it has managed to hold itself well in world politics, whereas Pakistan, if anything, has made a strong impression of warmongering + biggest terror exporting country.

What Is a Product Designer? Solving the Mystery
https://xkcd.com/1200/ points out that if malicious code runs as a user they can read my e-mails, access all my files, and keylog my passwords. By escalating to root, they can... what? Install OS updates and drivers? Mount and unmount disks? Access the serial port? Persist their access in a slightly harder to detect manner?

Of course, it's a different matter for shared computers in school computer labs. Or if mac servers were a thing.
Looks good, I'm glad you focus on the worst. At least decent people can agree these issues need to be taken care of instead of just trying to shape political nuance.

Great job so far!
You can also miss your train and just hop on the next one. This is the main reason why showing up 2 minutes before your train is normal but people don't do that for flights.
I agree with that review. McKinneys book reads like a reference manual and an old one at that. I don't understand why it is recommended so often.

So there is no protection if the entire device is stolen (or put in a backroom at a border)? You can just boot it up and acess the disk without having a user? The Wikipedia page on Bitlocker does not mention this problem for TPM mode. Or is only a part decrypted until a user logs in?

That was definitely the use case for me, specifically for products that I know I can buy in bulk, but don't know exactly how frequently I'm going to need to restock. When my son was younger we had one for baby wipes, and another for nappies. When we got down to the last pack we'd hit the button to have some more delivered, and they'd arrive the next day.

For a while I also used one for cat food, but that's got a regular enough consumption rate that the button was replaced by a regularly scheduled order to ensure that we'd have more just before it ran out without having to think about it.

Such breakthroughs will undoubtedly occur. But we cannot rely on breakthroughs for any particular problem.

In the case of the horse→car substitution in NY in the late 19th century, the optimal situation was that noone worries too much, and the car is invented, and all is well.

But they could not have known that it was a horse substitute which would be invented. Imagine if 19th century Londoners, faced with a bulging, over-capacity sewerage system, had rested easy in the knowledge that a breakthrough would sooner or later come along to save them.

It would have been catastrophic. No such breakthrough occurred and they did need to worry. In reality, they worried enough that they build a whole new system and there was never a crisis.

We should not make the mistake of hoping that the right technology will come along to fix Global warming.

Technological process is almost assured. But in any given area we have no idea how much will occur, and how soon.

There's an obvious and overlooked middle ground between "massively complicated infrastructure" and "a cheap VPS" - charge more and use PaaS. Heroku and Engine Yard are expensive, but they deliver a huge amount of value. You've got better things to do than patch Nginx or deal with a crashed server at 4am, just pay someone a sensible amount of money to run your infrastructure for you.
