I know only some of Foucault’s work, and don’t know much of him as an essayist. Nevertheless, if you are looking for something brief but significant, I would recommend “What is an author?”

I think it gives a sense of the sort of theoretical work that Foucault is interested in (which is perhaps somewhat distinct from his more historically and politically oriented work). It also contends with questions of information and ownership in a way that may be interesting from a “hacker” perspective.
>On Jan. 30, Musk told investors he thought Tesla would continue making money after finally turning its first back-to-back profits during the third and fourth quarters of last year, fulfilling his previous forecast that Tesla would become “sustainably profitable” from the third quarter of 2018 onward.

Followed by a massive quarterly loss of $700MM and the pronouncement that the company has less than 10 months of cash after raising money (which we were also told would never be needed again). Can someone explain how that happens?
I’m also impressed by the response. It also helps that the affected number of users is small, though. Imagine the same reporting, but the number of affected users was 1M. In other words, maybe good reporting can only get you so far.

There is a homeless epidemic. Anyone who lives in the US can see it. But these issues are being closely tracked and discussed widely in political problem solving contexts, and HN is more of an observer reacting to the most extreme examples that make news usually with very little empathy focused mainly on the consequences to others, so the discussions are weirdly 'disconnected' and stuck in 'first principles'.

Look at every single homeless discussion on HN over the last 5 years, its homeless people are bums, weirdoes who enjoy living in poverty without homes or people who are 'choosing this lifestyle' based on anecdotal evidence mostly focused on how they negatively impact the commentators life, untill the next article. Is having this same discussion over and over again helpful to anyone?

The software community used to be associated with freedom, liberty and not being jerks, more connected to the human experience and with empathy. Now they build surveillance systems, are increasingly authoritarian in their outlook and are snarky about others suffering. There may be a serious problem of homelessness but it seems this absence of empathy is a much more serious problem for any society leaving it unequal to any social challenge.
They are homeless, in my experience with them.

Also, what User table are you looking at? The one I'm looking at only has these fields: Reputation, CreationDate, DisplayName, LastAccessDate, WebsiteUrl, Location, AboutMe, Views, UpVotes, DownVotes, ProfileImageUrl, EmailHash, AccountId
My take is that this was a case of hubris. Can happen to the best of us. Where it really derailed was here:

“Others were not decision makers, so I had to take their feedback with a grain of salt.”

Most users of this kind of product are not decision makers, at least when it comes to selecting the product. But they are the ones that have to use it and their opinions are critically important.
What kind of stuff? I usually buy raw ingredients from Aldi, maybe except curries and pre-cooked rice packets if I'm very lazy. I haven't found the pre-made stuff especially salty

I'm one of the homeless you speak of, since last year. I came to the BA in 2011 after graduating Uni and worked as a programmer, to SF in 2014, and then had my reputation destroyed in 2016 by a false assault allegation by my old boss to HR--limiting job prospects via black list. I've an uncommon name and rare specialization.

I think of "destitute" as the keyword, at various layers of Maslow's hierarchy. The ones you talk about are destitute socially but probably have food and temporary sleeping provisions, seldom rising above the 3rd layer into esteem tho. I have a bit of my old network supporting me, and I sometimes think I'll get off the street.

I work as a waiter 30hr/wk in Mountain View at minimum wage, and don't make enough money yet to have housing prospects. Answering interview questions without needs being met sends overwhelmingly negative signals. I have all my professional stuff like books and computers in a storage unit, but rarely have a place to use it.

I don't apply for high paying jobs in my field because I know that I lack the basic necessities to make a good impression. I've tried and do entertain opportunities that fall on my lap, but I always make a blunder due to not having the resources I need and they fade away. It feels safter to not try, given domino effects of interviewing poorly (permanent record, data). "Learned helplessness" for sure. I was hired to my current job on the spot, thankfully, and almost didn't get it due to logistic issues that I'm intentionally vague about.

Personally I was not a supporter of Prop C and take no government assistance, instead fasting and meditating when I can't earn money and nobody in my network can help me out.

We'll get through this. I'm staying strong.
You'll have to provide something more concrete than "the left lets black people off easy" when your parent comment indicates that Stephen Colbert, a white man, is supposedly getting off easy as we speak.
Or if you need to write it down anywhere at all; that's why programmers use eN or e+N. Although we really need to get around to standardizing a hexadecimal equivalent.
A crust punk once told me "Why bother when I could work full time in a city that's worth living in to be almost this homeless."
> Unfortunately, freedom includes the freedom to do dumb shit.

You are not legally free to do all dumb shit. For example, you are not free in many states to ride around without a seatbelt on. Car makers are not free to make cars without seatbelts.

That's the precedence.
I find this curious because I have been repeatedly told by Google people on HN that Google stopped reading GMail years ago.
I second this. Try DuckDuckGo + FastMail and (Safari + Wipr extension for an advertisement free WWW)

I too switched away after being a lifetime Google Advocate: Android, Chromebook, GCP, Linux + Chrome and many, many of their products. Honestly, I don't care about privacy that much I'm just sick and tired of how good Google became at distracting me! Never mind the ads and how I had to use incognito search for anything because if I searched something (e.g. buying a monitor) google keeps suggesting similar stuff to get my attention or suggesting articles on the homepage of Chrome (mostly android).

What was once a simple beautiful tool to find answers, fast. became part of every aspect of my life, trying to get more and more of my attention/time.

Time is gold. Google lost respect for my time and I lost respect for Google.

>Seems reasonable

You think it's reasonable that the CEO of 3? 4? Multi-billion dollar companies is personally signing off on company expenses? It's unfathomable to me.
The weapons thread is bogus anyway. Elon could have a impactor in every spaceship he launches- and level the city, holding the world ransom. With exponential tech every alien noose hair trimmer allows every individual to departicipate a city. This is uncomfortable territory for the high and mighty. Cause if everyone is el presidente with a football- nobody is special.
Either we all live in peace, or nobody does in pieces.
Is the concept of a half-life similarly crazy to you?
> You can quit. We can quit.

> Sometimes I run into a group that I want to be more involved with that organizes on Facebook. When I mention I want to be involved but am not on Facebook, there is usually sympathy and a response that there are others interested in the group which are not on Facebook, either. Many organizations are multi-platform to be inclusive, and more organizations if more people spoke up to request a non-Facebook option.

I have not found this to be the case for casual (eg, meetup of strangers) or small (< 20) groups. They pick one coordination method and it's take it or leave it. Non-FB solutions have a strong drawback of some sort (lack of adoption, complexity of use, etc). Facebook groups and events are just super easy to set up and blast out.

I've been unable to avoid FB's groups and messaging. Adoption is just too high and so many people just can't be bothered to use something else.
> I'd prefer to use yapf, but last I checked it still crashes on "f-strings".

There is a great autoformatter that does not have this issue. Using it guarantees that you'll never have to stick with an outdated version of a language because your autoformatter of choice hasn't been updated for the current one, or even worse, is not maintained anymore.

It's called "cat".
> The EPYC performance on that MySQL benchmark is 3 generations behind Intel.

Intel's performance hasn't changed for 3 generations, either. They've been stagnant for years now with their 10nm roadmap being super late at this point, delaying their architecture updates at the same time.
If it doesn't work out, I'll just get another job. Considering that I quit a shit job to get to where I am (it's not like I quit a $150k tech job), I'll get another shit job to replace it. It's really not that hard where I live.

It's just that mentally 2 months of runway is insane.

Also they provide a 90-day "action-based" money-back guarantee. Where if I followed their instructions to the letter, and I still didn't see results, they're happy to grant me a refund. Sales rep: "If you got to a point where you're contemplating a refund, we'll give you extra attention and see how we can really get you out of your rut, because the last thing we need is chargebacks on our Stripe and get our account closed."

Their demo is based on how they help/guide early-stage B2B SaaS by testing multiple offers using outbound prospecting, lead magnets, tripwire marketing (specifically, Zoom demos), and then closing on the demo asking for payment upfront, where we would then charge the card manually on Stripe.

Once the product-market fit (they call it "market-message resonance") is nailed down, they'll use paid Facebook ads to generate leads at scale and book my calendar full with demos, where I should close them on the phone. They also teach us how to hire a remote inside sales rep or two to repeat the model at scale.

In short, they help b2b SaaS startups to build out their sales funnel, test it relentlessly, track conversion at each stage, ensure customer success, and then gather case studies to further fine-tune the conversion mechanisms at each stage of the funnel.

It sounded legit to me, and while the alternative is for me to just try to do all the above on my own anyway, I'd much rather have some guidance from someone who knows what he's doing.
Sometimes Google seems totally unaware of why people might find this stuff discomforting.
> If all open source projects could collaborate and choose a single license, what would it be ?

I don't think this is possible really. Even the FSF who IMO are some of the most vocal supporters of user and developer empowerment created the LGPL to solve this very problem. Some of their software (like glibc) is licensed under the more permissive LGPL instead of the GPL to foster adoption[0].

An except from [0]:

> This is why we used the Lesser GPL for the GNU C library. After all, there are plenty of other C libraries; using the GPL for ours would have driven proprietary software developers to use another—no problem for them, only for us.

the crazy part about Aldi isn't just their food prices but the odd things that just show up dirt cheap. An example, a full 10x10 Gazebo that you assemble. Not with cheap like poles for full on L corners and netting. It was under $150 and just blows away stuff twice or more.

The order of pricing in my area is Aldi < Wal Mart < Target/Kroger/Publix < Drug Stores. What Wal Mart is in pricing to Kroger/Publix/etc Aldi is to Wal Mart. H Though to be honest, Aldi's brand of cinnamon rolls in the refrigerated section are amazing. The pricing on fruit, like a pint of strawberries and such is just so confusing, their price is nearly half of what the big box grocery chains it just seems that no one can profit off of it.

So usually for us its Aldi when we are near for the basics, Wal Mart for some name brands, and old retail for BOGOs. Yet for many it is the luxury of time which gives you opportunity to shop around
Oh ya, this was a seaside resort that we were sequestered at for a workshop.
Unfortunately this is a no-go for so many people that do not have concept of "respecting the zone". People get angry at me for not being available at the drop of a pin these days, and when I cut off my email clients I miss important impromptu meetings, and so much more!

What we need is a messaging service that can only do preset phrases that comprise 99% of the distractions: Impromptu Meeting. Catering. Potential Hire. Change of plans. Emergency.

You would only have a few messages you can send a week, too, so you can't spam it with nonsense.
The differences between an addiction to alcohol and an addiction (if you can call it that) to social media are few and far between. Tbh, making a comparison between the two is heartless, careless and seriously undermines people struggling with alcohol addiction, grow up.
Underwhelming if you had inflated expectations based on a misconstrued idea of what it is.

It’s pretty good on freeways. It was never intended for small streets.

And yes you’re supposed to keep your hands on the wheel.

Exactly. If it wasn't deployed on May 5th, instead of writing, "when a build deployed to the development tier", I'd expect something along the lines of, "The intrusion originated on May 5 in the development tier".
I was running a table at a graduate fair for my company and stood opposite the Aldi grad scheme guys. The grad salary ofter 5 years (if you are accepted on the programme) was great (£75k) and they expected you to be managing multiple stores in an area. They had quite a queue of students.

I think the fundamental difference is that smoking actually shortens lives by years. On the other hand, Facebook's privacy violations have . . . made people feel a little squicky? What concrete harm has been done? Nothing to rival even a hundredth of tobacco's death toll. That's not to say we shouldn't have laws and regulations around privacy, but personally I think it's a bit of a stretch to compare Facebook and Phillip Morris.
I remember Aldi from Missouri, twenty-odd years ago now, and I don't have any negative memories of it. It's Poor Person Costco: They spend nothing on looks and it shows, but they don't have the bulk or the high-end products.

The only reason I wouldn't shop there now is that I don't usually carry any pocket change these days. Maybe I would if I could walk to one where I live.

There's a lot of inertia in the industry behind the traditional brokerage model (very sales-centric, and all about relationship building).

Consolidation is also hard on the trucker side, where there's a ton of fragmentation in the kind of work they perform and access to it
> Lidl announced they were building a store and the following week Aldi announced they were opening their store across from them

It seems to be a misleading statistic. I think it would probably include someone who moved to SF while homeless, found a home for a few weeks or months, and became homeless again.

Additionally, CA is a big state, and a lot those who came to it from elsewhere in CA might have been attracted to SF by its programs, economy, weather, parks, etc.

So the view that the vast majority of homeless people living in places where housing is unaffordable are there (instead of a place where housing is cheaper) in order to maintain their social connections is an inaccurate one.
I know that would likely be the main entry point and who found it. I reviewed that chat logs which are public and they just said they found it. As far as I know this isn't exactly hard information to find as you could just parse the moderator listings if you needed to.

It's definitely a far more complicated space than you expect at first glance :)
I mean the working set of the executable program is much larger than the processor's L1 instruction cache. Virtually all realistic cloud workloads (search, databases, email, etc etc) meet this definition of "large" whereas almost all synthetic benchmark programs are very small. Not surprisingly AMD looks great on the latter and terrible on the former because the microarchitectural resources they've committed to branch prediction and speculation are meager and their weird memory architecture exacerbates the problem.

It’s because I didn’t buy a Model 3, as I wasn’t offered a $35k version along with the $7500 federal rebate as I was planning on. Suspect a few tens of thousands of others made the same decision. Congress needs to pass the $7000 electric car tax credit or Tesla has a long bumpy road ahead.

A friend of mine worked for a logistic company and he told me many times that dealing with Aldi was a nightmare for them because they were extremely demanding:

very thin profit margin, tough quality checks (when delivering the items to the warehouses the checks were done on many more samples and in a much more detailed way than what other supermarket chains did) and if the truck arrived at the warehouse anytime after the agreed delivery time you were basically screwed (ranging from at least having to provide a discount to the whole delivery being rejected therefore having to find another chain willing to buy it or just throw it away).

All this might as well explain (additionally to your "shelf life") the good & cheap onions.

I'm an onion lover - Go onions! :)

(ps: this is just a neutral comment - so far I mostly ignored Aldi, excluding the exercise bike I bought from them which is still working perfectly ~3 years later)
So when you feel, say, lonely you just attempt to detach yourself from that loneliness even though the feeling of loneliness is not completely gone? And you call that peace which, in your mind, is superior to the simple act of choosing to feel happy instead? And this to you is growing up? Okay.
I've been trying an experiment lately.

I took a few local venues that I like, and put the top song from each of their headliners for the next month into a spotify playlist, then just listened on shuffle while I was doing something else. Occasionally a song jumps out, and like that! I've discovered a new artist I like, and I can go to their upcoming show to boot!
