That would require effort on the author's part. This is the equivalent of that guy who goes "gNu pLus LiNuX ;D" whenever someone simply says/mentions Linux as part of a larger conversation topic because they have nothing to contribute.

> But the bulk still shouldn't have been hard to read past.

It is difficult because the author has two simultaneous discussions going on: their actual work with the Chromebook and their banal google privacy comments which are intertwined with the actual interesting content.

> IMHO the protests here say more about being acclimated to a culture of milquetoast-positivity corporatespeak than anything else.

I clicked the link to read an article on getting ChromeOS off of a Chromebook. I didn't click the link to have to scrape aside the same wannabe revolutionary feel-good drivel that's been propagated on every common and tech-focused news site just to get at the content. If anything, the author writing the equivalent of "ha ha doodoo head google sheeple FITE DA POWA" and the volume of people defending it speaks volumes about what constitutes privacy advocacy in HackerNews comments.

There are, however, already multiple independent implementations:

https://github.com/moparisthebest/jDnsProxy
The difference is are they getting in because of money and connections vs qualifications money helped acquire.

Natural aptitude and/or sheer obsessive determination can allow anyone to compete with the second - and crucially the money must be spent well to help - if it is just more posh in surroundings but doesn't actually prepare them better than say an average Brooklyn High School then money isn't actually propping them up.

Meanwhile in the first only those with money and connections can "compete".

This library seems to add a HTTP client impl built on top of NSURL, and another on top of CURL. It looks to me like everything else here is provided by Microsoft's CPPRestSDK - WinHTTP, UWP & Boost Asio based clients simply use the CppRestSDK impls under the hood.

Anyway, Fast Food-Franchises are IMHO the perfect breeding-ground to raise lab-grown meat to success. Most of their meat is processed to a degree, that you can't taste the original texture or figure out their real source of it. And they are one of the biggest sellers for meat. Removing this chain will be a big service for environment.

This hurt to read, got hosed on my last performance review/raise because my supervisor threw me under the bus for things he never voiced as issues when HIS boss started asking questions he didn't know the answer to (because I do all the work).

Got the same raise/bonus as someone he referred to as "retarded", so I've been working on #1 because I've already caught myself doing #2 because even after voicing concerns and trying to fix communication issues, management hasn't changed at all.

The shitty part about #2 is that a lot of times you don't catch yourself doing it at first. It starts off as just having a bad productivity day, then you stop caring about busting your ass for a deadline because it's never recognized, then you stop trying to chase after people to answer your emails despite getting told that, rather than programming, I need to reply faster...Slippery slope of apathy. I think I liked my job at some point.
I believe the taxable income also depended on things like skatteklasse you had, one-time tax deductions (e.g. for newly arrived foreign workers), BSU, parental/guardianship deductions etc. So sure, while it would give you a rough idea, using that to compare yourself with coworkers was not trivial.

In terms of resources used in their production, a $6 burger expends more resources than a $3 burger.

For those worried about the ethics of eating animals, I can understand the extra $3.

For those just worried about other wastes (eg: losing 90% of the food value by feeding it to cattle), this isn’t a magic bullet, for now. Those extra $3 went into something else, whether it was a complicated energy-intense process, or luxury vacations for the patent owners of the process.

A $4 beef burger where $1 went toward reforestation or some other project may have the most impact over a $3 beef burger or $6 Impossible burger.

I wonder at what point the relations are so tightly correlated that we can safely say it is causative. At this point, can't we say the link between energy consumption and wealth is pretty much causative. Or at the very least, energy consumption is one of the necessary causative conditions for wealth and rising living standards.

From the US to Japan to Germany to China, energy consumption is the most glaring predictor of rising wealth and standards of living. I suspect this is also hold true for India, ASEAN and Africa in the coming decades.

Either they are going to start consuming a lot more energy or they are going to be stuck in poverty. I don't see how can justify keeping billions of people in poverty.

Does Anyone Make Money Trading Forex?
You're starting to consider whether you've wasted your time trading forex right?

"Perhaps the subject of is just a trade?"

I promise you it's not, you just haven't aced it yet.

I've been making money trading for an impressive time allotment, as have my accomplices Mark Benn ell and Joel Kruger. Be that as it may, it is troublesome.

Each and every one of us pondered ceasing in the great 'ol days. There were times when I felt that it was difficult to keep my head up, or face my friends and family after a progression of incidents. Vulnerability sneaked in and I would dream about getting a typical 9-5 work so I'd know when my next check was coming in.

New sellers all around surrender following two or three months, or perhaps a year as a result of reiterated dissatisfaction. If you started another business and didn't benefit in the midst of the fundamental year, OK consider it a failure?

It's a comparable cycle each time. They definitely get depleted, trailed by dissatisfaction, just to go coming back to their customary debilitating action to sell their time (make a point to examine our blog section on why you need to stop selling your time).

So to react to your request – Yes! You can make money trading the forex promote, I advance outstandingly, and have a couple of partners that moreover pay their course generously through presence with their trading benefits.

Travel every which way alongside me inside the trading room so we can discuss precisely the stuff to transform into a specialist shipper and make a living from day trading.

This question comes up quite often. I'm with you insofar as I also prefer a good vegetarian* product, but tbh, in my experience, almost every vegetarian burger (for example) one encounters day-to-day is in no way trying to "be" meat. Falafel patties, beetroot patties, sweetcorn patties, whole portobello mushrooms as patties, etc. I'd say the added diversity added by faux-meat products is not harmful.

I don't have an attribution for this quote, so if someone knows it please share...

If you want an opinion let's go with mine.
Otherwise let's look at the data.

It's true that many quantitative metrics can incentivize people in the wrong way. There's a funny story about a city trying to get rid of rats that incentivizes people to hunt rats and turn in the tails... but the people start farming the rats in order to get the reward instead while the project leaders pat each others' backs.

However as an engineering leader you should not discount the value of qualitative metrics or metrics altogether. I try to only make a decision "from the gut" when there is no other choice and decision must be made. Data is key. How do you know how well your code review culture is thriving if you do not see, across the entire team, metrics reporting the number of open pull requests, how long they are staying open on average, how many comments they're getting, etc? How do you know if one of your engineers is struggling if you're not watching what gets checked in, what code is being rewritten frequently, etc? How do you gain leverage for your team to management if their are no facts, metrics, to back you your arguments?

Just a reminder that you should use metrics. Maybe avoid using them as reward mechanisms and use them as leverage instead.

I don't work for GitPrime but you should definitely check out what they're up to.

>Remember the last time you felt glad to be alive? Was it related to being productive?

Actually, studies show that in the long run, being in flow makes you happier than being free from work. At work, it's usually the "non-work" things that kill it (tedious boring work, people problems, rigid hours, etc).

These days going on a hike in a scenic area makes me glad to be alive. But I enjoy it mostly because my "free" time is heavily constrained due to work. If I did it 3-5 hours a day, I would not use it as an example of being glad to be alive. But for many, working on something of their choice for 3-5 hours a day would make them happy. If you enjoy certain areas of SW, I can guarantee you'll enjoy doing that much more than the hike that made you happy. (You'll still enjoy the hike, but not that much more than you do now). Ditto artist, etc.

Last Friday at work I solved some annoying headaches I had in Emacs using Elisp. It took under an hour, and would impress no one (I'm new to Elisp). That made not just my day but my whole weekend.

Of course, if your work is such that there's no hope of flow (e.g. you neither enjoy nor are challenged by any aspect of the whole industry), then you're screwed.

There was a claim [1] that the G+ terms of service might legally prohibit them from doing this after the service is shut down. I haven't verified it.

However, it's clear that for an archiving effort this big, people at Google are explicitly allowing it. The user agents and fetch patterns of the Archive Team crawler were clearly distinct enough to get caught by an automated tool, and someone knew someone at Google in order to get it unblocked.

Unfortunately, any archival effort that requires the "Warrior" crawler (and not just a guy with a 4TB disk) is at the mercy of the website's remaining staff and management. Just ask Soundcloud. Archive Team started to archive their stuff when it looked like they were going to go under, but Soundcloud shut them down.

I really hate "life isn't fair" as an excuse to be an asshole. It is like excusing tripping a guy with a limp for being slow and prone to injury anyway. Just because it may be so is no excuse for making it worse.

Those ignored talents will go elsewhere and the competitors will lack those particular flaws by necessity. And then they'll cry "Why did nobody warn me we were falling behind!"

I'll 100% be giving it a try (I'm already a long time vegetarian though). I like that it's BK doing this because BK has served a veggie burger (Morningstar Farms Patty) for around ~14 years, so they should be familiar with the demand for meatless products.

I remember when they first introduced a veggie burger, I wasn't sure the demand would be there, but it seems to have worked out.

So it remains to be seen if they'll keep the Morningstar version too.

Can confirm! Have a first grader and she actually found learning basic adding/subtraction, and now multiplication more fun by learning it through games played with implicit basic algebra. “I am thinking of a mysetry number, can you guess it? X marks the soot where the number goes... I’ll give you a clue 2 plus x equals 4. Or 9 times x equals 18.” Etc. She’ll laugh and play this game all day, and make up algebra puzzles for us too. Great way to learn her basic math and implicitly algebra too through play rather than by rote, or the plodding pace of the grade school system.
It's not like it's a line at the DMV...

I'd imagine they'd test the performance with say 100 users, then another 900 to make it a round 1000, then if they see the 1000 users only use 1% CPU, they could just go up to 10000 to see if it uses 10% CPU or just 5%...

And after they figure out how many servers/how much bandwidth they need, they could just bring in e.g. 100K users online at once.
XMPP is not e2ee, the second server gets your JID (but not your IP, supposing your client doesn't leak it): you need to trust the servers (1, 2 and the resolver).

Also; you don't get virtual circuits, but the performance should be superior. Tor only supports A, AAAA and PTR; DoX supports every record type.
Has it occurred to anyone else that the HN karma system is a performance measurement technique that undermines the goals of HN? I've stopped commenting, largely because for any comment I might make, I can imagine the cynical karma-harvesting comment that someone will make in response, the comment that would never have been made if there were no karma system here. And when I do comment, I waste a lot of time trying to harden my comments to such opportunism.
It's easy to make spurious claims like "a $6 burger expends more resources than a $3 burger" when you don't define what "resources" mean in this case.

This interested me too so I looked through the source to find out. NFHTTP seems to add 2 clients of its own, one that uses NSURL (for Apple) and another that uses CURL (for Linux). Everything else (WinHTTP, UWP, and the fallback Boost Asio client) simply call down and use the cpprestsdk implementations directly.

Seems like this library offers less itself than it says on the tin, given that 3/5 of its native impls just call down to cpprestsdk. It's a pity that spotify didn't simply add CURL and NSURL clients to cppressdk - that would have been far more useful IMO.

Never mind then. I've been in similarly frustrating situations, where I try to accommodate someone while driving and they just don't even recognize it:

- Someone will tailgate me like they want to pass ... but I'm safely in the right lane, and they can easily pass in one of the other two lanes.

- They want to drive a lot faster than me in a residential area, so I pull to the side and wave them to pass, but they just stop there.
We are working to fix that. Sorry you are having trouble.
I think the point of the article is summed up in the sentence:

"The key components of metric fixation are the belief that it is possible – and desirable – to replace professional judgment (acquired through personal experience and talent) with numerical indicators of comparative performance based upon standardised data (metrics)"

Basically, it is a problem of trust. You're trying to replace trust in people with a metric which, in theory, lets you not to have trust in them.

Personally, I think it is a foolish goal. You are effectively replacing the trust in people (which, admittedly, is vague) with trust in the metric (which connection to reality is vague). The vagueness has a reason - reality is complicated.

Why not just tell people what the "broader strategic objective" is, instead of trying to come up with a metric that is an exact (and so necessarily wrong) description of it?
