I also have seen deceptive ads. One time I searched for Ripple (XRP) and saw an add saying Google had partnered with Ripple Labs and they were giving away free XRP, basically you had to send x amount of XRP and you would get twice that amount, plus as XRP increased the money could 3x or 4x. The worst thing is that it claimed to come from google.ca or google.de I can´t remember.

I appreciate the fact that they are being transparent about the nature of the deal they are offering. I suppose my own naivete was partly to blame, but I might not have wasted my time going to work there back in 2011-2012 if they had been clearer about their value proposition. I remain convinced that Google is full of intelligent, thoughtful, well-intentioned people who are shackled to a business model I will not participate in, and all of their beautiful technical achievements therefore remain irrelevant to my life.
Agreed, it's a terrible idea. I've been subscribed to the NY Times' "morning briefing" email for a long time. I'm using an IMAP client, and I never bother to load the images for this, because all I want is a text summary of the day's news.

They recently sent me an email saying something like "we noticed that you're not reading our email, so we're unsubscribing you." Apparently I hadn't been loading their tracking pixel/script/CSS, so they thought I wasn't "engaging" enough. This was despite the fact that I clicked on links to full articles, which had all sorts of tracking info embedded in a redirect.

A responsible email publisher offers a clearly-visible "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email, which will unsubscribe you with a single click. No nags, no checklists of email categories, maybe an "are you sure?" page at most, with equal-sized "yes" and "no" buttons. One or two clicks, and I don't hear from you again.

A dodgy email provider is more likely to "use lack of opens to reduce volume." If I don't trust some company to actually unsubscribe me when I ask, I'll just filter their domain directly to the trash. Clicking on spammers' "unsubscribe" links is usually a bad idea.
People actually disappear when you aren't looking, to lower simulation overhead.
Every property management company will set the recycled percentage in the HVAC system to a different amount based on climate and budget. In my opinion, folks should bring a Co2 sensor to work and then ask their facilities team to work with property management to lower the recycled air percentage if the ppm is too high.

You can expect them to push back and cite OSHA guidelines [1]

> This is Microsoft's embrace, extend and extinguish strategy from the 1990s in a new wrapper

We're all right to be cautious about trusting large companies' motives when they embrace an open standard. But I don't think there's any reason to invoke EEE! until they have introduced a proprietary (i.e. closed-source) implementation of something and then added non-standard extensions.

Since much of Microsoft's recent activity has been released as open source (MIT licensed, no less), I have a hard time believing Microsoft would go down that road again any time soon.

Rather, I think they're building their business on providing the best and easiest-to-use hosting and cloud services provided you're using their excellent and free developer tooling. And I'm OK with that, since they're not doing anything that is unfairly competitive. (Even AWS could start providing VSCode extensions and they'd be on equal footing with Microsoft, though to win they'd have to compete with MS's cloud directly.)
That's adding a huge amount of wear and tear - what is the compensation for this?
>I have a friend working as an engineer in a company where engineers

I categorize this as a place where there are "leaders" and "peons." The "leaders" see themselves as the important people who have ideas and make decisions. The "peons" are the grunts who are involved in execution and are easily replaceable by another peon. The most valuable people are the ones talking about all supposedly great revenue generating stuff they getting peons to do.

Don't work for these places if you like to be an engineer. As you pointed out, an individual manager may be great, but everybody above them sees you as a cog. If your manager is replaced you are done.

I think the only benefit of these places is that execution is mixed in with so much BS that great work life balance can result from it.

Some % of their customers did vote with their wallet, the Delete Uber campaign was measured to have a significant impact and it's most likely what motivated them to have a very large cleanup of their executives after all the scandals. Yes, still growing, but that changed their growing curve and gave larger marketshare to Lyft.

I would add to that list:

- Do not tie the applicant to a particular employer, and

- in addition to min salary requirements, also require independent demonstration of in-demand skills. Otherwise this system is too easy to game for large employers/sectors, who could do the equivalent of dumping by temporarily paying high salaries and then ratcheting down once they anticipate the market will clear at their desired price.

So basically, turn the H1B into an O-1 style visa where you don't need to be as extraordinary as long as you're well-compensated.

I like the intent, but that's pretty aggressive. Permanent residency after 3 years is maybe a better way of phrasing that.

That's a very good point. We wanted to make it super accessible for students using Jupyter. Also, we only support very small containers which of course don't have GPU. It's not mainly intended to be used for business, but for learning purposes.

Discussed elsewhere in this thread, but it depends on where you are from b/c there is a per-country quota. There are many applicants for a Green Card from India so it's hard if you are Indian. But if you are from e.g. Singapore there are far fewer applicants competing with you so it's easier.

Capitalism absolutely motivates censorship. Companies change their products to fit regional taste in order to appeal to the largest market possible.

To say otherwise would be to ignore the entire history of the gaming industry. We can argue about whether or not certain changes are good or not, but it is undeniable that companies modify their products for maximum profit which is at the core what capitalism is about.
Ahh so Google should only be the universal arbiter of truth.
“Chinese government will step in and take care of everyone”

The US government very much did not do that. The US let a lot of banks fail and housing prices to collapse. They did save a few banks, and most bank customers. But, most of this was adding short term liquidity to the market and otherwise healthy organizations.

PS: “Mark to market” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark-to-market_accounting is an important safeguard. But, it increases the short term risks of systemic collapse.

If you're concerned about indoor pollution, I highly recommend house plants.

In NASA research[1], common house plants were found to remove toxic agents such as benzene and formaldehyde from the air.

Some of the best air purifying plants: Chlorophytum comosum (spider plant), Dracaena reflexa (song of India), Nephrolepis exaltata (Boston fern), Sansevieria trifasciata (snake plant), and Chamaedorea seifrizii (bamboo palm).

Yes, and all of those airlines have generated profits at some point, proving at least some viability. Uber and Lyft have yet to prove that.

Also, Chapter 11 allows companies to reorganize their debt. Debt was the main problem that airlines faced (pensions, etc.), not the problem Uber and Lyft face.

What would be the difference between using this and something like Google Colab?
The two senses of the word minute ("tiny" and "1/60th of an hour") are etymologically related -- a minute is called a minute because it's a tiny division of an hour.

The one that was more surprising to me is the etymology of "seconds". They're called seconds because they're the second division of an hour (the first being minutes).
Both can be true, depending on the responsibility of the programmer. It would be an endless discussion so not gonna tackle that.

I'd focus on the endless pretence of many people in HN and Reddit; they really love to downplay the clearly documented and unique advantages various pieces of tech have: Erlang's OTP and BEAM's preemptive scheduling and soft-real-time guarantees, Go's goroutines and channel primitives (which I dislike but I admit they are often useful), OCaml's amazing typing system that can and does prevent a ton of bugs by the mere virtue of your program compiling, Racket's ability to make a fully functioning DSL for practically every business need you might have, etc. ad infinitum.

What often rubs me the wrong way is the really strong maintenance of the illusion that "we can do what Erlang OTP does in C++" (yes you can, but do you have 20 years to reinvent that particular wheel?), or "Go can have as strong a typing as OCaml and Haskell" (not when most Go devs reach for the interface{} escape hatch every day, and not when you don't have algebraic data types with variants and maybes), or "C can be an extremely safe language if you know what you're doing" (lol don't even get me started on that one!).

People in the tech communities should know better -- that's my argument. People cannot just pretend Python is God's gospel while we all know they just don't want to learn anything else but Python.

This is a serious problem in most technical discussions which very quickly get hijacked away from the objective technical merits and into the murky territory of beliefs and prejudice.

Pretty sad. We the techies should be better than that.
We might add bigger paid tiers later if we decide to support business usage of it. For now it's only educational and we can deal with the costs, even without the credits. Containers used are small and get shut down on inactivity. So, we only need to care about concurrent users. Hope it makes sense.
> I, personally, would be quite happy for this use case to break.

Why? If you don't want to be tracked it is pretty easy to avoid. You should already only be getting/opening emails you care about. Emails you don't care about should be unsubscribed from and reported as spam. Granted that links should only be tracked in email you do care about, why do you not want those people to have the information they need to refine and improve these emails so they can better serve and inform you?

I would assume that happiness depends on how this use case is broken.

Would you be happy if the email just doesn't show up or gets shunted to spam? Even if it is a password reset email or a email verification email?

Would you be happy if the link just failed to open, forcing you to copy and paste the link text manually? Why not just do that on your own anyway? No need to have the email client block this for everyone just to suite your tastes.

This leaves us with just the behavior I mentioned above and my argument against it.
They are both problems. Just stated in response to the arguments for capitalism.

I say capitalism creates a world where ownership accumulates to too few people. We see that in the wealth gap. 6 people own as much as 50% of the all people in the world.

Yes you can say those 50% also have better lives, however those better lives came without any controls on consumption. Capitalism has promoted green house gas emissions and lots of other bad things too.

So while on the surface it seems good that we have more, it's not. It's worse. If we all had less right now, we'd be fine. If we don't have more tomorrow, we'll be fine.

If we start having less, we might be better off. We don't even know well need the things we will think in 10 years are critical to own.

See where I'm going?

Capitalism needs limits. If you as 1 person own as much as 1% of all people, isn't that enough? Is time to divest some assets. likely assets you didn't earn.
Is there a timeline for this change?

Openshift is Kubernetes...with a few more things bolted on. Currently running it at scale at Cisco and pretty happy with it and support from RedHat.

I used to be firmly in the CICO camp, with the whole 1st law of thermodynamics as a sane argument. But I've recently changed my views on this. If you think about it, the human body doesn't have a 'calorie sensor'. All it has are nutrient sensors, and cells metabolize nutrients depending on the current metabolic environment, which includes proteins and hormones for example.

These ultra-low cost micro controllers are 8-bit processors. Programming them is done at the machine language level and, from a modern perspective, is not unlike attempting to build a house, one atom at a time.

Something optional you can start off with that will let you figure out if this is something you want to invest your time in would be to get a copy of a semi-educational game: "Human Resource Machine" (https://www.gog.com/game/human_resource_machine) which teaches the concepts of machine language programming using a fun and quirky aesthetic.

If you decide you want to dig deeper, you'll need to decide which processor architecture you want to learn the machine language for initially. For a beginner, something like the 6502 or Z80 used to power early home computers of the '70s and '80s like the Apple II, TRS-80, Commodore 64 and so forth is IMO a better choice because of the plethora of people familiar with them and decades of documentation and tutorials available. (While modern industrial 8-bit microcontrollers, such as the one you linked to, are also an option, documentation about them tends to be scarcer and geared towards professional engineers.) Fortunately, modern computers are powerful enough to emulate these tiny microprocessors easily and you can explore programming them in an emulator.

An example of this is http://www.6502asm.com, which allows you to write 6502 assembly language and execute it right in your browser. A tutorial can be found at https://skilldrick.github.io/easy6502/

Once you get some experience with writing machine language for one microcontroller, you should know enough to pick up machine languages for other microcontrollers without difficulty. At this point, you can start looking into development boards for your processor of choice.
