I'd argue that they all have their place. Anything of great length that's related to something product wise that has impact should be discussed in an epic or ticket that links the main point back.

As anyone who's followed a giant email chain, I think that slack is at-least a little bit easier to follow. Albeit I'm working in a company that is just now trying to start to emphasize stories/tickets/chat over email for everything, with tons of pushback.

Gone are the days of email everything, tons of people are CC'd, email chains are 30-50 responses in. It's absolutely unmanageable. Oh and if you drop chat, let's start logging alerts to email, or bugs to email. It's useless.

Personally I'll use chat for anything relatively quick or unimportant in the grand scheme of things. I'll use email for when it's not something that requires a response right away but generally is also unimportant to the company projects and doesn't involve a ton of collaboration. Anything bigger than that goes in a system that's suitable for tracking projects or complicated topics.

I don't think there's a one size fits all solution for communication.
Do you really believe that’s the only reason companies dont want to participate in an investigation?

When stocks take a dive and customers flee and the public calls for rolling heads every time there’s a compromise?

How is it ok to lay the blame squarely and fully on the shoulders of the victims here?
Conversely growth is exponential if you maintain margins. So the more you sell the more you have in the bank the more you can invest in growth. Sadly, exponential curves are very flat when you start out.

I don't understand what investigating and complaining against china will accomplish. If the US govt knew where the hacker offices were, why didn't they just bomb them? China only knows the game of strength. It's about time the world taught them the rules by use of strength.
In addition to cultural norms, there are gender norms.

In most cultures, women get trained to be all touchy-feely and they get a lot of social expectation to be all touchy-feely. It often winds up being abused by people just seeking to get their own emotional needs met completely for free and seems to either never be of professional benefit to the woman or to actually undermine her professionally.

I am still trying to figure out how to effectively navigate this issue. Women who try to be professional are often given a lot of flak for being "cold and bitchy" or similar. But doing the warm, friendly social stuff so often expected for women literally does not pay off.

There are also class issues. Behavior that I spent most of my life seeing as simply polite gets interpreted differently depending upon both the social class of the person to whom I am speaking and also how they perceive me, especially with regards to if they think they are "better" than me/ "one of my betters."

Two people who are both upper class will both be polite to each other and also genuinely respect the other person. Unfortunately, in many cases, if they bother to be polite to someone they see as beneath them, it is often quite superficial and does not involve any degree of genuine respect nor caring. So, for example, it will not lead to deal making, opening doors professionally for the lower class individual, etc. -- even in cases where they know the lower class person has a skill of value to them and pertinent to their project.

That doesn't seem to describe the IT market currently, at all.
But that’s not the trick. The trick should be that you train your employees how to do your business, and then you pay them more than what they’re worth to someone else. Since you’ve trained them in the ways of your business, they’re worth more than that, but only to you, and that’s the trick. Nobody else could squeeze as much value out of these people as you could (since the training is specific to what your business does), so you can afford to keep them, and the people have no monetary reason to leave.

Has bootstrapping changed where you decided to hire (i.e. not in HCOL areas)?
Use menus. The menus are really handy for discovery. Many I see disable them (the menu-bar-mode), but it doesn't take up more than about a line, and I go to it to discover what interesting bits a mode has or to find some functionality I use less often and forgot the keybinding to it. I do also use which-key-mode, and there is always M-x apropos & the completion, but menu is a nice companion to these stuff.
After reading _Deep Work_ by Cal Newport, I realize that this "hi" message is just yet another way we are distracted in the modern workplace. (I heartily recommend that book.)

What I've adopted is a structured "offline" timeframe, where I answer _no_ communication over the period of about 1-2 hours. When I come "online", I take the time to really answer questions very completely.

I've noticed a few things:

1. This has reduced stress a _lot_
2. Nobody cares I don't answer immediately
3. People do appreciate that when I do answer them, I've taken the time to really research the response

(Now, "offline" isn't really offline, it's more "no distractions or notifications".)

The funny thing I've noticed, is that the people that just want you to be online when they say "Hi" are often very distracted people themselves.

Ah, Emacs -- the king of editors. IDEs come and go, but I've found nothing that has yet convinced me to leave the editor that got me started in Linux development during the 90s, in which I've done all of my best work ever since. Yes, I've tried VSCode -- several times. The difference between Emacs and VSCode is that one is an extensible editor, the other was built from the ground up to be shaped and morphed to match your workflow, no matter what that may be. Emacs Lisp is an always-on, instantaneous-feedback, comprehensive extension language -- and it's a Lisp, even if a flawed one. Emacs is also self-documenting and self-debugging, making extending it an easy part of using it. If you type M-. on any Elisp identifier, you will be taken straight to its definition -- even for C-implemented primitives of the Lisp VM (provided you have the Emacs sources and Emacs knows where they live). Emacs is thus open source in a more concretely real way than most open source software -- it makes examinjng its own source easy and even inviting.

The way things are going, I figure either Emacs will die or I will before I stop using it. I guess I'm a set-in-my-ways old-timer. So be it.
This is a marketing stunt. People will buy them hoping they can open them up and find the messages. This is exactly like the 80's album warnings about backward messages - the warnings sold way more albums than the music alone would have.

I got lost at the thief part. I agree that knowledge sharing is good for both giving back to the community and as a goal in itself. But why does it make sense to call a thief someone that contributes to a community, even if done for self oriented goals?
> pay people by the value they bring to the company upon every annual compensation review.

how do you determine the value they bring to the company? Presumably it must be a % of the revenue or valuation growth but I cannot come up how you derive the value.
Regarding the Monsanto story, that's why we have peer review and journals that do not allow you to publish just by paying. If Monsanto managed to get a corrupted study published in a credible journal, that would be quite a scandal. If this is real, I would be genuinely interested in seeing it.

As to your other point, there are studies done for -every- approved vaccine. You aren't just wrong, you could scarcely be more wrong if you tried.

It was not hard to find these, and yes they cover efficacy. Please stop spreading misinformation, especially when it can cost lives.
While one hand was trying to balance the budget cutting in investment (education that makes people happier and more productive, healthcare that keeps people healthy, ...) the other hand has been increasing the expenses and decreasing revenue (giving bailouts to bankers, allowing tax havens).

How was austerity supposed to balance the economy when money was given away to the rich and taxes reduced? For each euro that was removed from schools, more than that was given to banks. Each time public health benefits were reduced there was a new company moving to Ireland, Malta, etc.

So, now we have the same or more unbalanced budgets but citizens are poorer, less educated and do not see a future for themselves.

> Continued stagnation will feed the resentment and anti-establishment, anti-euro forces in Italy.

The Eurozone countries need to increase revenues and start investing that money into education to prepare its citizens for the new economy. The alternative is disenfranchised citizens stuck in poverty that will fall in the hands of populism.

You have to spend money to make money. Austerity misses the point.

I used to feel the same way about Atom.

However, Atom has always had issues. Snippets are very limited due to design issues. Now a days I keep getting random js errors and the syntax highlighting stops working below a line I was working on.

Microsoft's acquisition of GitHub likely will hurt future community development of plugins since new programmers will assume the worst and develop for VSCode or move on.

Atom showed me how useful/important having an editor I could easily customize is. And the two above shows me how important having an editor with a strong independent community is. I am trying Emacs, but it is a struggle and Spacemacs keeps having random issues (and feels slower than Atom). So right now I am learning Vim with Vundle.

Windows 10 doesn't have IE 11 as the primary browser, and I'm not sure it ever has.

IE is there for compatibility in enterprise environments. There are a lot of large organizations which still rely on older versions of SAP, Oracle and IBM applications, plus whatever ungodly niche vertical apps or in-house garbage was written back in the 90s.

Microsoft has to cater to this environment because it's been the lifeblood of the company for ages.

It's not all doom and gloom, though. I've had experience in some very large organizations, lately, which prefer Chrome. The landscape is beginning to change, but it will be a while, still, before evergreen browsers are the norm in the corporate world.
At this point honestly it's an objectively worse decision to not use modern IDEs. (It's not a matter of taste anymore.) IDEs have gotten really good. If you only use Emacs or vim, you're literally putting yourself at a competitive disadvantage.

All the avante garde language extensions (Rust, D, etc.) support VS Code better than Emacs now. VS Code is where all the new ideas are tried first.

Actually, it seems the executive teams at these firms agree with me, since none of them consented to quotation in TFA.
> anything Libertarian, (which is labeled "far-right" now)

US Capital-“L” Libertarians tend to be solid-to-far right as well as libertarian, but, no, genuine center- and left-libertarian isn't usually called far-right by anyone.

Also, right-libertarians are a pretty big segment of the HN community, possibly more dominant than anything on the left.
It's commonly stated around here that VCs expect 9/10 of their companies to fail. So yeah, theres a good chance they are worthless. I think lottery tickets are a better metaphor, as they can be worth something. Wastepaper is hyperbole.

I don't think its foolish to ask for more equity as compensation, though obviously I don't know anything about your performance or current compensation. :) In fact, I would recommend negotiating better. Sibling comment has good advice on preparation. I would add talk to an accountant about tax considerations, and talk to a lawyer about the legal aspects of it. The last time I talked to a lawyer, it was ~$120, and that was a somewhat complicated situation. If you don't want to spend that much money on something that could be worth thousands or millions, well... You might end up like a lot of the other posters in this thread, and that is sad.

Seriously, a number of the posts in this thread likely wouldnt have happened, or could likely be resolved had the victim talked to a lawyer. Its like if you were robbed; you call the cops. Some people are saying its not worth it, it costs too much money, etc. If you arent going to call the cops, you can be robbed with impunity. It also means the thieves might grow bold, causing more headaches for the rest of us.

A number of people have said that the company/management told them that talking to a lawyer would be a waste. This is the thief telling you not to call the cops. You wouldn't take legal advice from a thief, right?? At least one person stated that the company "made" them sign something. This is the thief saying you "have" to give them something. If you sign something saying they can take whats yours, then they can. So talk to a lawyer before agreeing. The more upset they get, the more pressure they apply; the more likely it is that you need to talk to a lawyer.

Please, everyone, stand up for yourselves and get a lawyer. There are so many sad stories in this thread. The idea that people making 6 figures, with equity that could be worth that much or more can't spend ~$100 bucks to protect themselves!? It's appalling. Saying that it costs too much, not worth it, it wont matter anyway; that is like Stockholm Syndrome. Ok, that was hyperbole, but seriously, protect yourself.

Edit: EVIDENCE! The cops can't do anything without evidence, neither can the courts. Well, your testimony is worth something, but its better to get it in writing. Consult your local laws, or a lawyer regarding things like audio recordings, recording phone calls, etc.
The charges have to be based on new information, and the UK judiciary isn’t overtly political. All told I think Assange will go down for the hacking, and then be off to Sweden. After that I suspect the world at large will be done with him. He isn’t anything like as important as he and his few supporters seem to think.
An employee wants more than money. If I have the feeling that I grow, I stay longer. If I get the feeling that they want to keep me down, I leave sooner. Simple as that.

If you increase the skillset of your employees you get back something along the way, so it's not just money wasted but also collecting a lot of interest. Also you become attractive for employees who want to grow. It's easy for the beancounters to count all the wasted money but it's not so easy to evaluate the real productivity that such employees give back. Maybe if companies were allowed to trade employees like cattle that mindset would change.

However this work doesn't say anything about how revolutionary for our ordinary use cases some device based on something commonly called memristors could be.

Like iPhone: it is not "fundamental" in any sense, but one can really see the difference "before and after."

The mobile phones existed before, but the way people use them hugely changed.

Another problem is that we read for years how memristors will be revolutionary, but then just some time passes and we read it again... I haven't researched the background to that, maybe somebody here has some insider info?

For dynamic data, you need to use a CRDT system like GUN ( https://github.com/amark/gun ).

For instance, see P2P Reddit ( http://notabug.io ) which:

- Running in production with GUN.

- Handling about 42,000 monthly visitors. ( https://www.similarweb.com/website/notabug.io )

- Has done ~1TB in 1 day of decentralized traffic.

You can then configure GUN to save to IPFS as the blob/storage engine (or we have filesystem, localStorage, IndexedDB, S3, etc. as options).

It is basically like having a P2P Firebase :) with IPFS plugin.

None of the problems you've raised are related to YouTube's proposed changes in the linked articles. They already have rules against most of the things you mentioned. The proposed changes go far beyond them.

https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/policies/#community-guideli...

> Starting in 2012, YouTube rebuilt its service and business model around “watch time,’’ a measure of how much time users spent viewing footage. A spokeswoman said the change was made to reduce deceptive “clickbait” clips. Critics inside and outside the company said the focus on “watch time” rewarded outlandish and offensive videos.

YouTube's engine is currently ranking content based on the amount of time other users are spending actively watching that content. Unwanted videos are already de-prioritized by the current algorithm. The proposed changes are explicitly intended to de-prioritize videos that people are actively watching.

It remains to be seen how they will measure "quality". If they find a bias-free way to measure it, I'm all for it. Most likely though, it will be driven by top-down notions of "outlandishness" and "offensiveness", as opposed to bottom-up user engagement.
> It's by no means a stretch to imagine that those kinds of posts are what got Dissenter banned.

Probably a good idea to provide evidence on a case-by-case basis first, otherwise how is this position different from right-wingers that want to play the numbers game too, and preemptively claim that since blacks commit a disproportionately large amount of crimes per capita, any black person should be kept away?
I don't mind that much that I'd bother writing a script to take content from their email or something, I'm just surprised nobody uses subject lines.
> how would you implement a Hacker News style aggregator that updates every minute

AIUI, that's the problem that IPNS is designed to solve (https://github.com/ipfs/specs/blob/master/naming/README.md#i...). HN controls its private key, enabling it to be the only one who can update the record at the signature of its public key, and those IPNS records have nanosecond precision expiry timestamps and TTLs, meaning they can update at the frequency of their choice

I agree with the sibling comments that (at least as the IPFS is currently specified) having a user session would be problematic. It's theoretically possible that _your_ HN front page would have an IPNS record of IPFS://mdaniel.news.ycombinator.com and then we're back to the aforementioned expiry semantics. Upvotes would have to travel out of the IPFS network, but in some sense, I think that's expected since one wouldn't want an upvote to be archived, but rather the resulting content to be

What parent is getting at is that Socket Type F "Schuko", one of the most popular socket types, is completely symmetrical and inherently non-polarized. Since any plug compatible with Schuko is non-directional calling non-directional plugs rare is factually wrong (if we talk globally). It also proves your point that the difference between life and neutral largely doesn't matter, since in about half the world wall sockets don't care about the difference.

Are there alternative solutions to this problem, that are not interesting for industry, but feasible for hackers?
