The evidence is right in front of anyone who reads hacker news regularly. You might have a different judgement, but it's not difficult to say that I've seen lots of articles on Hacker news where men in similar situations are regarded as go getters who have the balls to get stuck in and take a swing at the top job.

She's a Principal at a VC, she's got two bachelors degrees (one in Economics), experience working in M&A and she was a board member. Yet somehow, despite knowing literally nothing about the company she was CEO of, Hacker News have decided not only that she was unqualified, but:

> I dug a bit to figure out what space the company is in, so that I can avoid using their services if it was applicable.

>Why on earth was this person in any way shape or form the person to step in?

>How did a waitress become a VC? (Didn’t read the article)

Despite that piece of information literally being a cheeky throw away line in the intro of the piece.
My aim of gathering about the same reading as classical authors likely did, excludes any order other than the most obvious one.

Moreover, the idea of reading New Testament without having read the Old one sounds rather ridiculous if you aim for anything more than assorted crumblings of the holy words. People at the time of Jesus were living under the law of the old books—it defined their thinking. How can you have an understanding any similar to the intended one if you circumvent this inherent order and go for walls before the foundation? It's like watching Spaceballs without having a glimpse of Star Wars.
Not parent poster, but I have done the same thing for a long time. I tried 5:2 and 16:8 (the former refers to days, the latter hours, of course). I find that the long fast (8pm to about noon the next day) is almost undetectable (it helps that I enjoy espresso; some might find it horrible or too acid on an empty stomach).

5:2, on the other hand, was bad for productivity as I would spend the low-cal days thinking about food.

I dropped from about 110kg to 94kg (disclosure: also training a lot of BJJ, weights, etc) mostly by IF'ing. I ate ice cream and all sorts of fun stuff the whole time (not tons of treats, but it wasn't a 'hair shirt' diet). Average weight loss was about 50g per day (averaging closer to 70-100 initially, then dropping off). Weighing in every day and putting it in a spreadsheet helped.

I found it way easier to focus on "food hours" vs "food choices". Honestly imo some 0imes you're just going to have pizza or a burger or ice cream or something. If you can eat clean and healthy 100% of the time, good on you, but it's hard to stick to that day-in, day-out for months, and I know plenty of 'clean eaters' who eat way too much 'clean food' and/or cheat and/or give up and are as a result fat.

IF with noon-8pm as a feeding window and a focus on hours not Magic Food Choices also allows you to largely behave like a normal person socially unless your life revolves around social breakfasts (which would be cool, I guess, but not that typical).
Money talk, bs walks.

Of course "Play store will continue to work". To use the Sex Pistols lyrics: God save the queen, 'Cause tourists are money, And our figurehead, Is not what she seems.

Huawai may be 'evil' (or any other justification) but the money of the millions of Huawei phone owners are more than welcome.

System update is a money-losing function. You get people to work and collaborate with vendors, but this doesn't add to the bottom line what Google Play Store adds.

Edit: added "the money of" phone owners...
Apple moving its supply chain out of China (and back to the US) is exactly what Trump wants. If only for political reasons and self-interest, there's just no way China would retaliate how you suggest.
The first experiment was hampered by them not realising the cement needed CO2 to cure, to be honest I would have halted the experiment to find out what the issue was then restarted it. Although they might not have realised this at the time, but then they weren't really testing a proper closed system.

It would have been useful if they were able to test a closed system without the cement sucking up the CO2.
Don't club Huawei with Asia. Google, outside China, is a major force to reckon from a consumer standpoint - without Gmail, Play App, YouTube, Android Auto etc., who do you think people will buy these phones. It is easier for Samsung and LG to just sell Android branded phones given it has Google products vs. for Huawei to sell its proprietary OS branded phone without Google.
thats crazy cool!!
It's just about different job roles.

Do you consult with the admin staff to check they're okay with your code?

In large businesses (in particular) you have to have delineation of roles - everything can't be democratic. Just as (I assume) you expect your seniors to trust you to code competently, so you should trust other people to handle strategy competently. You might not like the end choice… but that’s usually because via not having been in the discussion, you lack key information as to why the other smart people in your company came to that end choice.

(One thing I have learnt: everybody wants to be involved in strategy, because it’s fun, and because they think they can. I see this in my own industry all the time. People should have the discipline to stick to the scope of their role.)
I hadn’t thought about it that way but makes total sense. A new OS that all factories would install on their - now Android - phones, would cause a big blow to Google. We’e already seen ecosystems like Wechat and their impact. That move seems imminent
"Compared to Europe these Commodore machines were never as popular in the United States, where consumers preferred the superior computing power of IBM clones and other PCs."

That's hilarious: up to mid-'90's, a P. C. tin bucket was vastly inferior in hardware capabilities compared to even a basic Amiga 1200, let alone an A1200 with a Blizzard accelerator or an A4000. An A4000 ran circles around her contemporary P. C. bucket, and an A4000 with a Cyberstorm accelerator ate P. C.'s for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Because the underlying P. C. architecture is unchanged to present day, it will never be anything more than a tin bucket. It still has 64 KB memory segmentation, branch prediction security exploits and the like garbage ticking deeply in its bowels because it's conceptually inferior to an ATARI ST or a Commodore Amiga, to say nothing of being inferior to Sun and SGI architectures. It will always be inferior because it's based on inferior concepts and inferior hardware architecture. It's a tin bucket KLONK KLONK. Hear that metal sound?
Who else is using your specs?
I don't know how is it in US, but in Europe recently Huawei is very successful and growing. All big smartphone stores have now special tables with Huawei show-cases, lots of TV Ads.
Exactly. Original poster is trying to go into hyperbolics. Why would LG and Samsung want to participate in this and risk Google's wrath? Which user would like to get a phone without Google's apps on it? This is all looks good on paper as a so called strategy but in real implementation, almost impossible to implement. Consumers will just shift to another Google supported phone.
> What are those issues?

The issue is certainly not that China wants to advance there local industries.
The US has spent the last 40 years+ helping china develop its industry and
technology.

The Issue is that China was obligated to develop reciprocal free trade like the rest of the
WTO members. Over the last 20 years they have been moving farther away from
that into a state socialist mercantilist expansionist power.

A few of the issues includes the Theft of intellectual property,
Industrial espionage, Lack of market access and state monopoly domination of
there internal markets. Dumping of steel and other commodities. Currency manipulation, etc.

there is a very long list.

the EU has had been putting tariffs on Chinese steel for years due to aggressive
dumping of steel which has harmed EU industry and distorted prices.

I think that this confrontation has been building for a long time. and now there
is a consensus, a global consensus among the liberal democracies including the EU members that China 2025 is step to far away from the normalized reciprocal free trade system.
I don't have a problem with the comments. They're illuminating under a close reading.

The role of CEO is high status and highly desirable. I think it's safe to assume most readers of this site have coveted it from time to time and had to accept at some point that they're in that role.

It's easier to accept this is you assume CEOs are exceptional and different to you in some way: as founders; impressive track record; or something similar.

However, this article gives an example of someone just like us stepping easily into that role. How can that be? Why can't we have this? Either there is a problem with this CEO or we're missing out. It's easier to believe the former That's what the comments are about.
You're about a decade behind the curve. Huawei already has its own Kirin mobile SoC. There are no critical components that the USA can lock-down.

> Taiwan I'll note is not China.

Assuming you are referring to.Foxconn, their HQ is on Taiwan but the assembly lines are on the mainland.
Please use some sense. You are suggesting Samsung and Huawei - two of the fiercest competitors to collaborate on an OS? While the Occam's razor argument is that Samsung will just goto Android with Google's apps and bleed Huawei away.
The dominance of bundled sales by carriers is not a universal practice around the world. In Europe this was even forbidden for long time as it gave the Telco's too much power over the nascent mobile industry.
Can we fight them back? Can't we collectively submit our own DMCA requests on all their videos? Break the system so they have come to up with a new one.

> This is the difference between Google and Amazon.

As an anecdote I had a good experience with Microsoft too.

Issue: standalone MS Office 2019 didn't show the update button, didn't find something online. Called support thinking, oh no, but it was pleasant:

- after quick waiting period contact with representative
- one or two min. standard talk then support concluded there was an issue indeed
- on hold for one or two minutes
- then problem was fixed via remote app, didn't take long

Left me with a very positive feeling for Microsoft.
Geo-fencing counts, IMO. "Driver assist" does not.

Full autonomy respresents an economic paradigm, geo fenced or not. When private cars went mainstream, the economic cascade was so broad that no one could have predicted it. Supermarkets, for example, and the subsequent impact on food industry was a side effect of private cars. Suburbs. Disneyland...

Self driving is such a change. Starting from geo-fencing is just a constraint on how fast the change happens. Private cars were limited by affordability instead. There's always something.

Once these cars are on (geo-fenced) roads, infrastructure (eg signs) and vehicle can start adapting to eachother. There will be real economic pressures to "open up" roads and highways to autonomous driving.

The tech problems in the space are so interesting, we forget about other aspects. Ultimately though, geo-fencing or any other hack could get us to the point where product problems get solved without a 1:1 relationship to solving tech problems.
Handsontable has a lot of potential for performance improvement through configuration. Have you contacted support?
>And the point is that this should be fixed, instead of adding yet another clunky way of doing the same thing.

Well, unless we have a (1) capable (2) volunteer the point is moot.

Those who actually work on Python development accessed both scenarios and found adding the "yet another clunky way" if not optimal, a more feasible, easier and better use of their limited time.

>Then why bother having it, if the only reason for it to exist is so that it can be wrapped?

Because lower level primitives can be used in many useful ways than some constraining higher level construct, but the latter is still nice to have.
"was"

Without Google, users will just shift over to Android. Agreed Huawei's phones are good but are they as good for users to not care about GMail, YouTube, Play Store etc.? On top of that, will users trust an OS by a Chinese company?
Bing's not banned in China, and it's not _that_ bad.
Can you please tell us which part of US technology Huawei will need at all costs?
CPU? Based on a European company design
Memory? Chinese and Asian companies already in charge of most of this market
Modem? They have their own design
OS? They are already using open source Android without Google technology for Chinese use
Screen? Same local and other asian sources dominate this world
etc.

No the only way, US can impact these company is by preventing them to trade with the rest of the world. But after ZTE, this will be seen as full war by China, and the global economic impact of this will make 2008 looks like a great year for the economy.
Not OP, but I will usually do an intense workout of ~1h at 7am fasted. I don't eat till about 2pm without issues.

Of course that is still different from 4-5 hours of heavy labor. Although on weekends I've climbed mountains, and swam fasted without issues as well.

You'd be surprised how easy it is, the hunger pangs are only the first few days.
Samsung is a top OEM in US unlike Huawei. Also South Korea is a big US ally.
Recently bought a cheap Huawei P5. After having owned phones from Nokia, Sony, LG, Apple, Microsoft and Google, the Huawei beats them hands down, no question.

Their VR product is tragically disappointing. It's all prerendered 360. I can't work out why as the poly count doesn't seem so high to have prevented working in real-time.

I could forgive the crude, flat lighting if it was true VR but we get the worst of both worlds - low-quality rendering and the lack of presence you get from non-volumetric content.

Hopefully they will improve their offering in future as this is exactly the kind of thing that VR was made for.

https://www.romereborn.org/

EDIT - addressed in their FAQ:

Q: Do you plan to offer open-world VR?

A: Yes. "Open world" means that the user can move at will through the virtual space. At the moment, our users are fixed to a single vantage point, around which they can pivot at will to obtain a 360 panoramic view of the scene. We consider this a temporary expedient necessitated by the frame-rate requirements of the VR stores we use and by the computational limits of some of the VR headsets we support (e.g., GearVR and Go). As soon as the stores change their minimum hardware requirements to the point where our open world apps can meet their frame rate benchmark, we will release our apps in both the current panoramic flavor (which will probably continue for some time to be needed for headsets not reliant on external computing resources) and in the open-world flavor. We definitely want to be the first to realize Palmer Luckey's original motivation in creating consumer-level VR headsets of making it possible to walk down the streets of ancient Rome.

SOLID is useful as a rule-of-thumb, but there's always one over-arching principle that should trump all others: YAGNI.

It's easy to build something simple (and perhaps naive) and make it more complex over time as your needs become selectively more complicated and your grasp of the domain more nuanced, but it's impossible to start complex and pare down to a more simple implementation. Even worse, your bad design decisions due to your less-than-complete grasp of the domain become impossible to remove due to all the layers.

There is no One Right Answer (tm) to system architecture; it comes with experience. All of these principles should be considered guidelines to help in your design, not ironclad rules.
Strange Parts YouTube channel offers some insights into Chinese electronics industry: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO8DQrSp5yEP937qNqTooOw
This so much!

simplicity is underrated and unfortunately esp. young devs are proud when they are capable to build complex systems.

After working extensively with plugin architectures like OSGi an learning about functional programming I am deeply skeptical when somebody mentions plugin systems and IoC containers.
>You could implement requests without urllib.

Yes, but you couldn't do more fine-grained than requests things, unless you did them from excruciatingly lower level (e.g. sockets).
Well the point is that Whatsapp doesn't.
I second this. Matrix is a great protocol, with lots of promising clients [0] like Fractal, Spectral, Riot(X), Pattle, etc. and bridges pretty well with Slack, Discord, Gitter, IRC...

It is self-hostable, and provides a modern baseline of features (though Riot is the only fully-featured client at the moment).

Burying myself in a walled garden is a no-go, so it has been working pretty well for me so far. I only regret the fact that the reference server implementation consumes a lot of resources, but it should be coming down [1][2] (the current state stems from the proof-of-concept python implementation having grown unchecked over the years), with alternative implementations hopefully becoming viable soon[3].

My dad's workplace had several original Atari 520ST machines (not the STM with FM modulator or the STFM with floppy disk and modulator) which they used simply as VT220 terminals for accessing their DEC PDP and VAX minicomputers. Apparently the Ataris were a lot more cost effective than specialised VT220 terminals.
It's just naive to pin something as complex as depression on a single variable (but that's Popperian scientificism for you)

Now it might be that the 1st study identified an effect on a (very specific) subpopulation and in the bigger study case that subpopulation is not present or not identifiable. But who knows

Now of course it's not wrong to study a certain gene, but to go "all in on" a very narrow study path is stupid. Now, if on the course of the depression studies they found this gene had everything to do with a different disease that would be "p-hacking" or something, right? RIGHT?

More statistical power and "rigour" won't lead research anywhere because it's not the studies that were necessarily flawed, it's that the effects might be small, or dependent on a chain of other factors, so unless the effect of a single factor is predominant it might not even matter (as an isolated factor).

Interesting effect.
>Taiwan I'll note is not China.

And I'll note that headquarters are not the same as supply chains. Much of what Apple sells all over the world is made in China (PRC).

There's little doubt that both the US and China are capable of massively disrupting each other's tech industries in the short term.

But as I said, the incentives not to do that are overwhelming. Let's just hope the tit for tat doesn't get out of hand.
I have utmost respect for anyone who can safely and responsibly drive a huge vehicle full of people, day in and day out, on cramped city streets with precision down to centimeters on some complicated turns and crossroads.

If anything, good bus drivers aren't paid enough.
For devs, there are usually two path choices. Engineering Management or Individual Contributors. As a remote engineer, you will tend towards being IC than being EM and this is because most engineers, as the post mentions, are self-motivated and self-disciplined. And being an IC, it's not as hard to climb up the ladder, although, the problem is, most remote companies don't have a defined ladder. I think with companies like Gitlab, setting an example of a fully-remote company of a considerate size, the view will change and more companies will take this path in future. If you notice, most remote companies are really in their early stage and there's no need to define career progression path yet, given the things they have to prioritize at that stage.
Any use case where you cannot afford data corruption requires ECC memory. A single bit flip in a JPEG image can totally ruin it (and you might not notice at first, because the thumbnail doesn't change, allowing the corruption to spread to backups...)

Particularly susceptible to memory errors are applications that keep data cached in RAM over longer periods of time, such as file / database servers.
USDS reports 400% ROI in savings to the taxpayers who fund the government with tax revenue (instead of kicking the can down the road with debt financing) and improvements in customer service quality.

https://www.usaspending.gov (Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (Obama, McCain, Carper, Coburn)) has more fine-grained spending data, but not credit-free immutable distributed ledger transaction IDs, quantitative ROI stats, or performance.gov and #globalgoals goal alignment. We'd need a metadata field on spending bills to link to performance.gov and SDG Goals, Targets, and Indicators.

"Transparency and Accountability"

IIRC, here on HN, I've mentioned a number of times -- and quoted in the full from -- the 13 plays of the USDS Digital Services Playbook; all of which are applicable to and should probably be required reading for all government IT and govtech: https://playbook.cio.gov/

There are forms with workflow states that need human review sometimes. USDS helps with getting those processes online in order to reduce costs, increase cost-efficiency, and increase quality of service.
>how many companies in China been kicked from their market including Google

For the record, Google voluntarily withdrew from China as a form of moral protest (it didn't want to help the government censor/spy on its citizens). It wasn't just banned as a means of protecting local companies, since Bing isn't banned, nor for that matter is Azure or Outlook/Hotmail.
You can easily find examples where you can replace China with the US. And now with the current American leadership I can't say personally that I trust the US more than China at this point.

Sorry, nope. If your car crashes after you press that button and take your hands off the wheel, Tesla will point to the line in their terms of service which says, "keep hands on the wheel, driver must pay attention at all times."

Tesla (and Elon Musk in particular) are of course happy to encourage the misconception that they already sell a self-driving car.
