...their office product or, more surprisingly & worryingly, their cloud services.

How could Google, come distant 3rd in the cloud infrastructure race. They were the ones that obsessed about milliseconds. They ran YouTube and Gmail and all the other services reliably, at massive scale. Due respect to Amazon's dogfooding, but Amazon never released novel internet applications at anything like the volume that Google did.

Google have generally displayed recurring problems getting products to real maturity, and making money from them. For all the high profile stuff that they bought or built over the years... There is still only one real revenue source.

It may be something like the "oil curse." It's hard to compete with search/ads on revenue.
The Shanghai Tower has one of the tallest observatories, but since there's too much smog, you can take a picture on a green screen so they can put nice backgrounds instead. On the other side, the city is surprisingly clean and well maintained, and the infrastructure is amazing. We can criticize their authoritarian government all we want, but microeconomically it has brought results at a rhythm we occidentals can only dream of.
The Bay Area has small, downright balkanized jurisdictions and it doesn‘t seem to help them.
> The real story is the absolute travesty of government corruption that TurboTax and HR Block have perpetrated by making it illegal for the government to make tax filing as easy as it should be

You know this applies to pretty much every service in the US right? A company wants to make massive profits, so it just lobbies and buys the laws it wants.

Healthcare, private prisons, banking, "security" (TSA), education, transport, etc. etc. etc.

If you were king for a day, I hope you'd fix a lot more than just doing taxes.
Canadians “Spock” Five Dollar Banknotes in Honour of Leonard Nimoy (2015)
If nothing else, the cycle of the market. Might not be this year, might not be next year, might not be the year after, but it's inevitable and we're coming due. Could happen at any time for any reason, but it will happen. If you're thinking of going public, you want to get in before that happens.
Are there metrics regarding this ecosystem that Gmail is optimizing for and which Google engineers can get rewarded for improving?
> After searching around I found out that a my graphics driver doesn't auto update

It does, graphics drivers do auto-update (unless you've manually disabled it on your system).

They just update slowly, you'll get the latest long-term driver from your device manufacturer / OEM, -- you won't instantly get things like "nVidia Game Ready Drivers, now with experimental ray-tracing" that come out every two weeks or so.
You can use LineageOS[0] for the time being.

Read it and agree. I also want to ask if this model is on my flight. Do not want.
I know you're making a joke, but no, it should be the obvious finger that disables biometrics.
Right, and they are only successful because a certain government allows them to be disproportionately influential... So my comment is still very much valid.
At that scale, I suspect there are some ~$10k engineering-time efforts that could save them $1m a year in costs, if they already have the people on staff with the expertise.
In my limited experience, a lot of opportunities like that get missed because:

- an optimization is considered lower priority than feature work and bugs, so never gets staffed

- it's considered risky even when it's not

- it's difficult to quantify the value until the works done

Aside from that, just because it may be more cost effective to use 1000 servers and 1 developer versus 200 servers and 3 developers, doesn't mean it's a sound choice. One invests in people using their brains, the other mostly disappears into raw material supply chains, building servers and infrastructure and burning fuel to run them.
> I'm one of the PMs for Gmail and hang around HN quite a bit.

Can you bring back the old web UI?

I experience obnoxious interaction and interface bugs in the new one on an hourly basis, it has horrendous interaction latency for many operations that used to be snappy, it looks worse, and has basically nothing new I want.

Actually, can you bring back the Gmail of like 10 years ago? Basically every change since then has been negative for me.
Which gov project was not captured?

They all have been and will be captured by either crooks or fanatics - that's the whole point of having a system of coercive no-opt-out government.
I don't think this is true. Under "What you need to get started" on the IRS's Free File information page [1]:

> Forms 1099-DIV and Forms 1099-R, showing dividends and distributions from retirement and other plans paid to you during the year

Note that there is a difference between a tax product's freemium tier (where they can upsell) and their Free File product (where they cannot). A big part of the problem here is that these companies do their best to make you conflate the two — and then hide the second one, so they can upsell unsuspecting taxpayers who don't know the difference.

The sentiment is more of, “this is how modern cities should be planned and built”. I visited Singapore last year and Tokyo last month. Then came back to San Francisco.

It is clear that US cities are way past their prime and I don’t think it can even catch up to those modern places. San Francisco feels like such a crappy place and roads in Bay Area are full of pot holes. Drive on 101 between Mountain View and Sunnyvale and even the lane markings are painted down crooked and no one has bothered to fix it for 6 months now.
The Social Cost of Carbon
A deleted Wikipedia page speaks volumes about its biggest problem
I'm confused. Income in an IRA isn't taxed, so that's not relevant for taxes. If you had post-tax investments then yes it's more complicated, but that has nothing to do with IRA/401k retirement savings?
I still expect him to tweet to Biden saying he ran 2 times and won 0 times.
> The 2018 iPad Pro, the super-premium professional's device, still doesn't have mouse support. It's marketed with the quote "What's a computer?" which is a bit ironic.

Is mouse support required for something to be considered a computer? Recall that computers existed before mice and professionals still managed to use them.

It's worth noting that the iPad does support pointing devices, just not mice. You probably have more than one of those pointing devices attached to your body at all times. The iPad also supports an implement that mimics something professionals have been using to draft blueprints and create art for millennia.

"What's a computer?" clearly bombed as a commercial tagline, but it raises an interesting point. The iPad is not the kind of computer you're used to seeing, but it most definitely is a computer.
Those were totally different movements, though.

That's ridiculous. Perhaps you can find in a few minutes, but I know plenty of people stuck in jobs they hate but can't find anything better. They are not quitting, and they can't move, because they have people that depend on them or other circumstances.
The MAX8 is only really unstable in one specific set of circumstances where every other 737 would be stable. It doesn't need MCAS to be safe let alone fly. It needs MCAS so that pilots don't need to be trained (expensive) on the differences between the MAX8 and every other 737.

This is an appallingly bad-faith style of discussion. You must know full well this terminology is used for its evocative link to holocaust denial.

Not that it should make a difference to how you conduct yourself, but I’ve had cause to research this topic in order to get myself through serious health issues. So I know what it looks like when people are or aren’t engaging with this topic with honesty.

It’s a deeply important topic that deserves better than crap like this, particularly from a longtime user of this site.
> Telecoms are typically swimming in debt

In general many profitable businesses swim in debt. If you finance each project to 1/3 with your own capital and 2/3 dept you can do three times as many projects, and for established companies with lots of assets (production facilities etc) banks will happily lend that money.

On the other hand there are companies like Nintendo and Apple with huge cash reserves and nowhere to spend them.
Blood platelets activated during exercise increase neurogensis: mouse study
This looks like an attempt to get free press.
It's mostly something I do after discovering a useful site I'll likely be revisiting in the future, sites with appreciable content but are otherwise marred with poor visuals. When you've been doing it for years revisiting the same sites, I think it pays for itself in terms of delivering more presentable information.

Addons for Firefox include Aardvark, (generic) Element Hiding Helpers, Lizard, Nuke Anything. You press whatever shortcut is assigned and highlight the element your cursor is over (or highlighted text/section), an interface pops up, you specify the domain filter (twitter.com), and filter by attribute (import-prompt), OK, and the rule "twitter.com##.import-prompt" now forever hides twitter's annoying import flex module.

The addons for Firefox I've seen are mostly GUI-based. An exception is Nuke Anything, which I believe can be done through keyboard and context menu options.
I've been involved in UX design for nuclear power plants, air traffic control systems, gambling machines, and more recently lots of web sites. None was "science" but all were very important for their intended audience. I the case of the nuclear power plants and air traffic control systems, there was much more thought and analysis put in by user interface specialists, but I doubt that any of those specialists would consider themselves scientists or their practice a "science".
Troubles with the Open Source Gig Economy and Sustainability Tip Jar
It's an idea so dumb that you need to pay for a software that the only reason to exist is for you to pay your taxes, Brazil gets a lot of things wrong, but at least our government provides a software available for every platform (windows, mac, linux, ios, android and even a jar, so if it runs java, you're fine) for us to do our taxes.

You need to pay an accountant only if your taxes are complex, and even them will use the software, they just know more about how to structure your data to insert in the program, it is honestly insane that a company like turbotax is needed, but lobby is really a powerful tool.

The thing I find curious is that businesses of this scale are still using cloud hosting. Is it cost-effective or otherwise better in some way to outsource your infrastructure instead of hiring an in-house IT team to manage your own hardware and connectivity at this level?

If you're just starting out, a newbie walking into the gym, I'd recommend looking at a 5x5 program like Stronglifts. It's an iPhone/Adroid app with a website and a ton of information. It isn't perfect because nothing is but it will give you a basis, a starting point.

You'll have a program of exercises, squat, bench, ... and sequence. You'll do the exercises and learn about form. It's a start.

Taking classes like Bodypump is another approach. You won't learn anything about form and the weights will be more about endurance and tone but it's a start.

I'm assuming you're a complete newbie walking into a gym needing a sustainable start. Do this for 3-6 months then try to connect with a powerlifting program.

If you really want to know a LOT, look at Stronger By Science.

Politics and lobbying have had its way, and there aren't enough elected officials that have backbone enough to stand up to them. I'm pretty sure they entice folks with the promise of hiring folks and "benefits" for the officials - in other places, this stuff might look like corruption.

It definitely isn't in the interest of the voters or the government, since I'm of the understanding that easy taxes means more compliance and thus, more income.
Yep, the most recent power plant disaster at fukushima (2011) didn't have a single fatality death due radiation (the fatalities have been attributed to non-radioactive causes such as building collapse, fire smoke, etc)
I disagree. The average FB user is opinionated about all sorts of things. I bet you if you polled random people on the street, they have an opinion on FB... and I bet it has gotten worse in the last few years.
I'd already been pondering rereading my old copy because I haven't read through it in about a decade. Now I can just wait and get an updated edition. Perfect timing. I'm sort of excited for this because the first edition was a book I felt helped me a lot early in my career, though I read it so long ago I don't remember which specific lessons I took from it.
Yeah, I don't recall any MS-branded computers back in the 90s. They were making mice and keyboards, but that's about it. And they have always been happy to sell a copy of Windows to anyone that wanted to run it (and had compatible hardware, which was already commoditized back in the 90s).

I remember seeing news reports about the Black Friday-esque runs on stores at midnight the day of the Windows 95 release (while I was sitting smug at home because we had been running prerelease builds at home for months due to my dad's software company being a member of MSDN [or whatever the equivalent was at the time]).
Hexes have the advantage of being able to eyeball the situation when making a decision.

Fastmail allows for email aliases. These aren't those addresses with a `+` on them, but rather completely different addresses. You can put the family address and generic address in your own or your wife's account and setup a filter so that email to those addresses go to separate folders automatically. That saves you $60/year. If your children don't need privacy from one another (I've no clue how old they are or how well they get along), maybe you can also group them into 1 account to save you another $90/year.

By the way, Fastmail prices are rising. One used to be able to get a free account, and the standard plan used to be $40 a year, so might be good to get them sooner rather than later to get grandfathered-in in case of upcoming price risings.
That seems to be premature since, while I respect Nader for many things, his own article points out that the investigations have not yet been completed.

>You are confusing the state and federal judges.

Districts and states more or less align. You're not going to get a judge who's worked their career in Arkansas appointed to a federal position in MA unless there's some edge case political shenanigans going on. For all practical purposes this guy is an MA, or at least New England judge.

>The new MA law doesn't apply to federal agencies and this was a federal judge not a state judge

There is no new MA law relevant here. I'm simply contrasting this with the ruling discussed yesterday.

Robert Moses is a prime example of how a misguided despot can ruin everything for generations to come.

Does Google allow you to use your own domain for free?

The story that isn't being told is that smaller companies such as Bombardier and Embraer have made the investments in "clean sheet" small airliners that are much better than the 737 in every way.

Boeing has used it's market power to keep these away from passenger and airlines.

So it's not just a matter of people getting killed. It's people getting killed so you can pay more for airline tickets, have less room and comfort when you fly, have less frequent flights, hear more noise from airplanes, and experience more global warming.

As for global warming note also that the 737 has terrible takeoff performance, even under favorable conditions it has twice the takeoff distance of some much larger airliners. Every hot summer you will hear that "airplanes are grounded because of the heat, but really "737s are grounded because of the heat" because the 737 can barely take off as it is.

This is what secular stagnation looks like. It is undercompetition and underinvestment, just like we see with wireline internet service in the US. Don't let neoliberals fool you with the "there is no alternative" line because there is.

Exactly this. Amount of income is actually quite a crappy measure for what should be free to file. If it’s flat W2 income with nothing else to consider then sure...

When you start adding in all these other little side cases you’ve blown your argument. They literally take more effort (either on your part deciphering and completing, the CPA’s part deciphering and completing, or Turbotax’s part developing and validating). Yes you made practically nothing this year but it was in incredibly uncommon ways and that makes it more complex than a simple 1040EZ.

The article seems to argue biological sex characteristics are not the definer of gender rather society uses them to coerce certain personality norms during development. I don't think AIS changes that argument.

I think it's important to note that the article is not arguing for binary gender just because it is claiming gender is not a spectrum rather it is arguing against the use of the concept of gender altogether.

I disagree. Suppose you have an election with 3 candidates that runs every year. If you predict candidate A win at 33% confidence, but that candidate gets elected every year, your calibration will be way off. Calibration is about aggregating, so you can't really cheat it. Your 33% prediction has to be right 33% of the time - it's really hard to fake that.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your position, though.
No, there was no technical reason to design 737 MAX as it was designed, only regulatory reason. Regulations should help safety, not hinder it.
The coal/natural gas plant near me was burning what appears to be some nasty coal just yesterday (bright yellow smoke)... is the smoke color a good indicator of it's toxicity? (most of the time, the smoke is white, not sure if it is because they were burning natural gas at that time)

Intuit is headquartered in Mountain View. No-one needs to move from there in order to secure a job an engineering job. If people depend on you then you can look for another job while keeping your current one - it's something I've done multiple times.

And if you can't find a job in Mountain View then I certainly feel for you, but it may be time to take another look at your resume and work out what's going wrong.
I don't know if that is true anymore. One of my friends who is very much non-technical but has been an iPhone user since 2009 and Mac user for almost as long just asked me for a recommendation on an android phone a few weeks ago. He specifically cited the battery issues, and after having keyboard problems had done some googling for alternatives. Repairability was specifically mentioned, since he has had to have screens replaced on phones.
