Yeah, I know.

I am loving what I do and my boss knows it. So, he lets me run loose to do whatever I think necessary for the business. In a way, I am taking more responsibilities than he asks for my role. But at the same time, I am also taking advantage of this by learning and applying interesting stuffs to help me advance.

Can't tell if you are trolling?

I'd love to hear a credible source that says something on the lines of, "My understanding of the situation is that there is enough damage already done that a significant portion of the population, if not all of it, will be dead in the next half century, regardless of what's done."

There are crackpots on each side of the argument (skeptics versus doom). I think the truth is somewhere in the middle.
This seems to be regularly happening in "passion" fields like human space flight, or bleeding edge tech spaces like self driving cars, medical technology, etc. For an example, just look at salaries between places like SpaceX, Blue Origin, or Virgin Galactic where total comp for a software engineer is between ~100-140K vs any FAANG company where equivalent experience will pull in upwards of ~200K TC. The disparity is even larger for non-software roles (EE, HDE, ME). I acknowledge that there are more than likely other forces here, but I highly doubt that the labor supply for these specialized skills is higher than that for general software engineering. Perhaps this is a place where unionization could be helpful.
What you look like, what did you order, did you consider ordering something else, what kind of clothes did you have on, cheap or expensive? What brand was your phone, what brand was your watch, who was accompanying you, how old do you appear to be, did it seem like a date or just a lunch? Was she pregnant? Did you arrive on foot or did you park a car in front of the restaurant? What brand was the car? Did you arrive by taxi? How much time did you spend looking at your phone? Did you use restaurant wifi? Which domains did you perhaps visit? Did you leave a tip? How many times did you use the bathroom?
and most of the time... Who cares?
Congrats Geoff! You helped us a lot when we were young, first-time founders and we learned a lot from you and Tim. Thanks again for all your advice—excited about the future for YC :)
If you have labelled break and continue, you can construct any reducible CFG, including other kinds of unstructured graphs [1]. Loops with multiple entry points are a necessary and sufficient condition for irreducible CFGs, and cannot be described with labelled break and continue. I don't know if you intend to consider generic labelled break/continue as having a goto, but if you do, they can't jump into the middle of a loop.

C and C++ are the most well-known languages with an unlimited goto, and they do allow you to jump into the middle of a loop. Worse, the switch statement also works as a hidden goto and can similarly be used to construct irreducible loops. There's even a name for how to do this... Duff's device.

[1] The definition of unstructured graph changes between authors on which constructs it includes, because it's a general term for "CFGs our algorithm cannot handle." A simple requirement is that every merge point must either postdominate its immediate dominator or be a loop header, but this definition means that even things such as multiple return statements, short-circuit and/or, and vanilla break statements cause unstructured graphs. Reducible CFG is a much more stringent definition, but graphs such as ladder graphs, lattice graphs, and complete graphs that bring out worst-case performance in algorithms are reducible by virtue of being acyclic.
But those penalties will also screw over most of the sites people are using in the EU.

> The display is too small and as too low resolution to provide enough useful information to "logistics, to manufacturing, to field services" workers.

Is that actually the case? Several successful deployments discussed here:

https://www.wired.com/story/google-glass-2-is-here/

GE - GE in particular has been enthusiastic in its Glass tests, claiming a 46 percent decrease in the time it takes a warehouse picker using the product. (Using Glass in this environment is as transformative as in factories—after a successful test, DHL says it plans to roll out Glass in its 2000 warehouses across the globe, where appropriate.) Another pilot project, in GE’s Aviation Division, used EE with a wifi-enabled torque wrench: Glass tells workers whether they are using the proper amount of torque. Eighty-five percent of the workers said that the system would reduce errors. “By the end of this year, we’ll have several sites deploying this,” says Ted Robertson, an engineering manager at GE Aviation.

AGCO - AGCO now has just over a hundred Glass units (it pays between $1300 and $1500 for each one), and Gulick says that it plans to order between 500 and 1000 more in the next 18 months as it moves the product into all its functions and in other locations. The company is particularly excited about how Glass helps with training—cutting the time from 10 days to only 3.

Dignity Health - “The total time entering data has gone from 33 percent of our day to less than 10 percent,” says Davin Lundquist, the chief medical information officer for Dignity Health, who uses Augmedrix and Glass himself in clinical work. “And direct patient interaction has risen from 35 percent to 70 percent.”

More info on AGCO here, they've been using this for years, starting with the consumer version, and have continued to ramp it up: https://www.country-guide.ca/guide-business/agcos-jackson-as...

> Re: leverage, at the end of the day, the US doesn't have the capability to do lots of manufacturing. Our primary export to China is cash. We don't have the machinists, don't have the ability to train for the skills needed to manufacture, and will need to buy tooling from China.

This is not a problem for the US. Companies have accelerated a shift of manufacturing to other Asian countries during the last year [1]. As far back as 2013, China was facing an exodus of factories [2].

> Real competitive pressure is decades away.

I doubt this. Although some opinions say China has more leverage than the US [3], "The country’s heavy debts, built up over years of lending used to spur growth, limit its options. If it retaliates against the United States sharply by devaluing its currency or shutting factories crucial to global supply chains, the moves could ricochet and hurt its own newfound wealth.

...

Its tremendous success in nurturing its own homegrown industries, which has helped China’s economy rise up the value chain, has reduced its imports of American goods, giving it fewer items to hit with tariffs." [4].

That's such b.s. Tesla explicitly says you can't take your hand off the wheel. So what are you even talking about?

"I'm going to drive to the store" means a complete sequence of events, start>unpark>integrate merge with traffic on route>follow route>navigate parking lot>park.

Nothing other than a human does that today. That is what is meant by either "self-driving car" or "fully autonomous". All exceptions to what a human can do is just making excuses, and it's b.s. Driving is a broad term that encompasses all responsibilities for getting from A to B.

Does a Tesla lane change automatically to follow a route? Does it enter turn lanes and turn onto new streets? Does it turn into parking lots? Nope. Human prompted lane changing, and staying in a lane, is not "driving", it's a vertical feature that partially offloads some task from a human.
I'll have to apologize and return all this money.

Not really! It even pertains to long-term relationship. If you are not hard enough on your clients, they perceive you as cheap labor. And you become cheap labor.

Some cities seem to get far better rates too. In Boston most of my trips were around $4-5, maybe closer to $15 to get to logan. When I was in Columbus it was like the trips were arbitrarily twice as much, hovering $7-10 for similar distances. Miami probably had the highest rates I've experienced (Like $25+ to get to the other side of the biscayne bay), traffic was terrible as well so I wasn't as shocked, but it seemed much higher than going a similar distance in LA. I was still able to get rides in 10 minutes in most cases everywhere, so it wasn't for lack of free drivers, it seemed.
40% utilization means that it was in use for 67 hours per week. I don't think an MRI takes three hours.

(In the case of the study listed, the utilization figures might be out of ~35 hours, which would make things different - but they also exclude scans scheduled in advance)
Since nobody is actually reading the article, let me sum it up:

In a survey of regular people (not EvilCorp CEOs), "people consider it more legitimate to make passionate employees leave family to work on a weekend, work unpaid, and handle unrelated tasks that were not in the job description."

"This finding extended to asking for work far beyond the job description, including leaving a day at the park with family and cleaning the office bathroom."

"Participants read about a Ph.D. student’s working relationship with their graduate advisor. Those who read a scenario in which the student was being exploited – verbally abused and given unreasonable deadlines – rated the student as likely to be more passionate than students who weren’t being exploited."

What this study finds is that regular people, you and me, say that exploiting passionate people and mistreating them is OK. That we're so willing to make compensatory justifications of abuse is not a good sign.
Am I misunderstanding their glass "partners", or am I not able to build my own software for this without using one of their cronies?
Nice idea, would love to see an example on the page (e.g. screenshot).
Absolutely, but in that case, the issue about extreme traffic congestion is much less likely. Even though traffic in the area can be difficult at times, 1AM seems like an unlikely time to run into that.
> it's not the VCs' responsibility

You make some valid points, but I really dislike the above comment. When used it seems like a convenient way to diffuse responsibility, often to selfish ends.

There's lots of examples where this type of single-minded attitude isn't acceptable.

- A civil engineer cannot just have making money be the sole pursuit when designing or building a bridge

- A doctor cannot just have making money be the only goal when treating a patient

- A government worker cannot be only concerned on how to maximize their individual gains when awarding contracts

- A financial adviser is expected to act in their client's best interest, rather than their own

We're used to expecting certain levels of ethical behavior from some professions acting within a larger societal framework. I don't know why investing is so often left off the hook in this regard. Maybe it's naive, but I think we'd be better of if people told themselves it WAS their responsibility when making these decisions.
That's not actually how the law works though.

Restaurants lose a lot of money throwing out food that's probably good enough by the standards that most of us use in our kitchens at home but because there was an excursion in the fridge temperature of 2c or whatever the law says they have to throw it out.

They could make a lot more money if they didn't have to do that, especially if chefs were allowed some discretion in when things are "out of date" like they used to have prior to food safety laws.

However, as a society we actually don't want chefs to have that discretion because although we might trust an individual chef we sure don't trust every chef. So we set rules for restaurants because we would rather have some restaurants go bankrupt and there be fewer restaurants around than have everyone risk eating food that might be below standard every time they go out. Instead, we set an objective baseline criteria for food standards.

Same thing with privacy. Your personal standard of privacy may or may not be higher than my personal standard of privacy, but society-wide we don't want privacy to be a roulette wheel or a tragedy of the commons, so we set an objective standard for it.

That may or may not bankrupt some ad-tech companies who are reliant on the dodgy-chef techniques, but that's not a loss to society as a whole any more than losing dodgy restaurants would be.
They're also called carboys in the US. Nice brewing shops will have a variety of sizes and shapes to choose from.
It might be good for supply (publishers) short term, but it's worse for demand (advertisers) and for ads quality since it removes personalization opportunities. An open-market like RTB where offer meets demand is more efficient (except for privacy-minded users which aren't even part of the transaction). It's also worse for supply long-term as it ties them more to Google and FB, or to a non-scalable contract negotiation process mad-men style with a handful of advertisers.
AGI is only a threat if humanity is an end in itself. It'll be a great leap for sentient life.
I am inviting the strengthening of his position in order to better understand it. I asked him to elaborate because as near as I can tell there is no hard dependency on any D-Bus broker. There is possibly--I genuinely can't tell from the documentation I've been browsing through--a dependency on a D-Bus broker. Requiring a D-Bus broker does not make any one D-Bus broker mandatory...and so, if that is the case, then my assertion that journald is the only non-PID1 part of systemd that is required would hold.

I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong. I invited it, even; I'm wrong all the time and being wrong is how one learns. The big-timing I referred to is the refusal to materially engage. Instead he quotes Lennart about D-Bus--out of context? who knows! It isn't an indication of the state of the software in question, just his opinion at a point in time--and to tell me to go read (read what, exactly? what generosity in citation!). Oddly enough, though, I don't see you tagging in to lecture him about that sort of sneering. Why's that?
Don't tell the Owners their money went to waste, but explain to them exactly what you posted here and let them decide to chase the sunk cost fallacy or not.

Without knowing more about the exact nature of the problems with the software you are having I cannot make a recommendation either way from a software development perspective.

I will however say many consulting development companies will continue to promise they will deliver while continually bringing in change orders to the original statement of work "Because 'this' situation was not covered in the original SOW"

If you find the company doing more then 1, maybe 2, small change orders as things evolve in a project of 9-12 months I would just drop them as that tells me they did not properly study the problem and ask the correct questions in order to properly do a SOW, that is unless things in the project are actually changing rapidly / dramatically from the original RFP.
They're people who have X thousand or more followers. This gives them the power to influence their audience.

Yes, many got to where they are based on their looks. But there's also plenty of talented photographers, 3D artists, traditional artists, craftspeople, athletes, and hobbyists with large followings on IG.

Influencers are created and supported by followers like you. They don't gain that status because they're particularly skilled at anything or good marketers - they gain that status because people choose to follow them. If the majority of Insta users valued higher-quality content over shallow looks, the talented creators mentioned above would be the top influencers. It's a reflection of the user base (and on some level society as a whole).

It's not that only medical data from your doctor should be protected, but there clearly should be different tiers of data. I don't really care if people know I visit HN, but I do care if people know the exact contents of my passport or my exact medical history. There's a lot of data we generate that is private and can be used to suss things out about us, but we don't consider it critical like we do some other data.

Let me clarify.

Some cultures expect people to litter. I witnessed people from these cultures, in my country, littering where it's illegal and socially disgraceful. These people were confronted and they still left their trash on the ground, the people that confronted them picked up their litter for them.

I hope this clarifies my statement.

Unless you are claiming there is not a single culture that doesn't expect people to litter?
No problem with either of those, here.
Sibling comments have given examples here, but the one-sentence summary would be that libertarians are in general opposed to licensure, and believe that a free market with certification (which would be provided by trusted private entities) is superior.

In more detail, the argument goes something like "any time you require a license, you are necessarily reducing the choices available in the free market, and more choices are good." See e.g. Milton Friedman, "Capitalism and Freedom".

I think the purist libertarian position on the FDA would be that it should be abolished and replaced with a private certification agency. But if you _must_ fund it with government money, it should be a certification body and not a licensing body.
He's right that changing your depth focus is more taxing, but I wonder what's healthiest for the eyes? Maybe it would be good to for the eyes to change focus depth while wearing VR headsets? If I stare at my monitor too long without breaks my eyes definitely get lethargic while trying to focus into the distance. (General tip: every 20 minutes stare at something at least 20 feet away for 20 seconds.)

> Sony need rackmounted PS3 and PS4 hardware

The PS4 is built with a custom Ryzen-based APU. Because Ryzen is x86_64-based, it's likely possible that they could also make machines that are architecturally compatible- they could probably get away with a compute box filled with similar, if not better, graphics chips / cards, use an EPYC processor with all its cores and PCIE lanes to connect everything up, and then virtualize it.

For the PS3, however, they would definitely need something very custom- their Cell processors are very different from anything else on the market, but they also already have a service for that, but I have no idea how those work- they obviously have something, though.
Adapting Video Encoding to Specific Audiences
I specifically mention this in reference to "when the time comes". Sometimes the devops work is worth it. If you're building something that's going to get a predictable load of 10k QPS and is only going to read from a DB and return some data it might be a good idea to break that out, run that in a serverless configuration, etc.

It's all trade offs and just choosing when you want to make them. If adding 10k QPS load to your monolithic app is going to cost more than the (TOOLS + DEPLOYMENT STRATEGY + INTEGRATION TESTING + ETC) then it's worth pulling it out.
> Medium is an ugly beast with all of the headers and footers.

They don't mind that you feel that way; they still want to make it official.
It's not SystemD itself that's the problem; it's just technically terrible, but, as you say, it's open source. A lot of open source software is terrible but popular.

It's Debian violating their social contract that was the problem for me.

What the vast majority of distributions do is irrelevant, a lot of them are chasing popularity or have a proprietary interest in having a "unified platform", but I had come to expect better from Debian. There is really no longer a "reality of that shift" to reflect on, since the SystemD problem has been more or less fixed: there are now debian-based distributions to upgrade to. If other people want to run that dumpsterfire of cowboycode on their computers, that's fine by me.
