My company just switched to Teams (from Sametime). We had evaluated Slack, Teams, and Cisco/Webex Teams. To me Teams is a pretty crap chat tool, but it's integration with WIndows (and the macOS client isn't shabby either) is what made it a clear winner. We can chat, do voice, share files, collaboratively edit files, share desktops, all in one app. My only complaint is that the emoticons are typical Microsoft style and should be updated to something better. But this might be due to most Windows desktops not using a high DPI. On a Retina screen they look amateurish.

When you type json.Parse<T> you are taking on the responsibility that what is returned is actually T. If you want the type checker's help that you are sure it might not be T, then ask for it: json.Parse<unknown> or json.Parse<Partial<T>> is maybe more accurate, and would force you to write runtime checks. Partial<T> in particular is a great helper type that is often exactly what a lot of want in a json.Parse situation: gives you the field autocomplete you want, but reminds you that they may be undefined.
If he was an engineer who didn't know what "low-level software" meant, then he was also a low-level engineer, so you weren't wrong either way.

It's unfair to point out Chinese and Israelis as being extra unscrupulous. Mating partners of course already screen each other out and has been for a long time. If past experience is any indication, then traits that would be selected for would be good looks. In fact, if embryos would be screened for intelligence, I think it would be an improvement over the status quo.
Protection against memory errors, I don't have exact odds of such errors, but certainly not negligible and with faster memory and capacities - those odds only increase. Many such errors will go unnoticed and the impact for most will be unknown, but can equally be very impacting. Hence today it is only critical systems that have such use, as can justify the extra cost.

But for everything else, it's a scale of needs, sure the low-end would be a gaming console or graphics memory, but if that gap gets smaller, uptake and usage will scale as that advantage becomes cost effective at various consumer levels.

But having the option of choice, is and always been a huge plus for any consumer - AMD makes that choice far more accessible than Intel. Though I do see a mobile phone maker going ECC as the turning point in uptake and making that price gap more palatable in the end.
Not to mention Apple, their record label.

Social networks are THE feature of the web and will always be. It started with usenet, geocities etc., followed by MySpace, now twitter and Facebook. A trend in this (e.g. Switch to private chat groups) would still qualify these applications as social networks.

In what directions social software will evolve is another question. What will be the next big revenue generating business model is yet another one.
Neonicotinoids hinder bee's resistance to Varroa mites [1]. I believe industry exploited this by testing neonicotinoids in regions without the mites, so the adverse effect would be hidden, but I can't find a source right now.

Google Takeout is broken or flakey, and had been for at least a year. Good luck downloading any archive before it falls with "transfer failed: bad authentication" 30 minutes into the transfer.

This is the issue at the heart of most architecture and language/idiom arguments.

Agggh hits to home. Arrogant American me rolled into a Taiwanese job expecting to skyrocket up the ladder on results alone. Nope, because I left at 5 sharp to enjoy the beautiful mountains, I was a lazy shit. Never mind my 10x increase in sales. Well, also I was an arrogant prick.

I chew on this issue a lot - it's bad to work so much. But, it's culturally ingrained. Some people are trying to change it... but it's happening so slowly. We have our own culturally ingrained things in America that I'd like to change as well, and that are changing, but so slowly. How do you implement change?

I guess that's the plot of any good fantasy or political drama, how do leaders convince people that change can be good?

Absolutely agree! Also in that world, all engineers would be smart, given all the necessary information, all equipped with all expensive measurement tools, and be given enough time to do good work (and motivated to do that). After coming back home at 5pm, they would grab the same expensive measurement equipment and start hacking on their devices, putting in the same high quality and knowledge and high conscience.

This is a very well-written postmortem. It’s clear enough that a non-technical customer effected by the outage could understand the explanation, at least at a high level. It’s also detailed enough that a technical person can trace the root cause to a buggy garbage collector in format transformation function. The whole thing uses clear language with a bare minimum of jargon. Nice work!

I remember there was a 68000-series with a 56000 on chip. I would love to have seen a 68000 make it into the 64-bit era with a built in DSP. I did love programming those things. I would imagine some ColdFire-style pruning of the instruction set would have happened for the 64-bit era.
Any argument can be taken to a ridiculous extreme if you choose to bring it there. The line, for me, is where you try to make decisions for others/tell them what to do. It doesn't matter what opinion I hold- even if I was in some all-powerful position I wouldn't think for a second I could or should govern peoples' lives by my own opinions. For some reason it seems to be a common trend in discussion to think that simply holding a belief means you intend to impose it on others.
It's a hypothesis. It's also Google's call, and Google is the one they're paying for ads.

Eventually it would right? If rents shoot up and people can’t make a living at it in that city, they will simply go elsewhere. AirBNB also doesn’t need public schools or the other businesses and services that are dedicated to residents, so those would go away also (and do in Airbnb heavy areas).

Dallas and Atlanta are nit great examples, as they basically have unlimited land to expand on.
For me, the real names debacle was a wake up call that too much of my online life depended on Google. What if using a new product caused my email to disappear without any recourse? What if Google subscribed me for something I didn't need or care for, then wiped out my digital life because of it?

I was interested in google+, but it wasn't worth the risk. This was also the point where I stopped playing with new Google stuff, and started logging in only for email, and logging out.

Now there is no way for Google to know all this, so I assume I got classified under the 'no big deal' group in your analysis.

No. Listen carefully: we do care. I do, others do. Not all but most. I don't know why you suppose us so purely self-centred.
English “bit” is not pronounced like French “bite”.

The vowels in “bit” and “beat” (or “shit” and “sheet”, or “bitch” and “beach”, etc.), sound completely different to native English speakers. The latter is closer to French “bite”. The former does not exist in standard European French.

I have a group of very close friends that I've lived with off and on for the better part of 15 years - this allows us to sort of "hack" the system, buy up a very extra large house and just have more or less a communal living environment, out in the suburbs. The biggest issue is parking in a cul-de-sac, but currently its a 3600 sq foot house with 7 people living in it - 2 kitchens.

TBH, its great, especially when you compare what you can get for the same mortgage in the city, where even a 2 bedroom is considered too big. Anything over 2.5k sq feet in the city is either a triplex (and thereby 3x as expensive per sq foot), or a mansion that costs >$500/sq foot.

We get to have nice amenities like a hot tub, gym room, etc, and not feel like we have "too much" stuff because almost everything is actually used. It wouldn't work if we wanted to have kids of course, but we're pretty much all lgbt. The social group also has to be not only tight, but also already has good way of dealing with conflict.
Last time I bought a house, being an employee was a requirement (in the US, post 2008). I had a good job and plenty of income for the loan, but since my job at the time was as a contractor they wouldn't lend me anything unless I'd been a contractor for at least several (5 IIRC) years.
I had no idea what this did until I watched the video.

There's a lot of relevant info in economics about this. Two main things come to mind:

- There's no way to create a single metric from different things without some sort of tradeoff curve being implied. This has all sorts of implications when you look at utility functions. You might even find that your setup violates some of the requirements (like transitivity).

- Even if you do have one metric, you don't have one metric. Why are you making a decision in the first place? Unless it's trivial, it's because you're uncertain about the future. You are making a decision under uncertainty, which there's also a lot written about. So your high ROI might be an average with some error bars around it, while the low ROI has a different variation. Now you're back to tradeoffs again.

I have a love/hate relationship with the responsibilities that come with home ownership. I hate the feeling of having an ever-growing todo list and knowing that I am going to have to spend my free time on the weekends doing chores, most of which have significant costs that go with them.

But on the flip side there is a huge feeling of satisfaction and pride when you accomplish certain tasks or home improvement projects. You've bettered the property you own and often have learned new skills. It also makes the beer taste even better when you're finally ready to relax.

The GP is providing their personal insider view regarding what they perceived as mismanagement of G+, and is starting of with describing the vantage the had at the time. There are many (many) instances of appeal-to-authority on HN, but this is just plain `ol context.

It's the same bargain as being dependent on anyone else for anything else. Whether it's a problem depends on how abundant that "something else" is, which depends on the larger societal context.

I'll give an analogy: my dad used to hoard toilet paper, preferring to "own" large stockpiles of it rather than just get it as necessary from the store. Why? Because he grew up in WW2, in an occupied country, and had to shit in the river and wipe his butt with stones. This doesn't even compute for my American-born generation: to us, the supermarket is always there, and if you need toilet paper you go buy it.

Similarly, if you can assume that another rental will always be there when you need it, there's no need to own. And in dense urban areas with lots of landlords, that's a pretty valid assumption. Somebody refuses to rent to you (which has happened), just rent from somebody else. I'd rather own financial assets like stock - which I can take with me anywhere, and which usually have a much greater monopoly position than the landlord - and then use the income thrown off by them to rent accommodation.

Would I be fucked if there were a financial crisis or breakdown in social order? Yes. But if I were to own a typical 1/4 acre suburban detached home, I'd still be fucked - because you're still renting water & sewer access from the city, electricity from the utility, Internet from Comcast, food from the grocery store, etc, not to mention that your ownership only extends to your ability to pay the bank monthly. If you want to actually be secure & independent, you not only need your own land with a sturdily-built home, you also need solar panels, well water, a septic system, and obscurity. And you need to own it free & clear with no debts.

A similar logic applies to people who take Uber instead of owning a car, or who pay monthly for a SaaS instead of buying software outright, or who get food delivered rather than owning cookware and cooking themselves. As long as they can count on the service always being available, it works.

I was there at Google when G+ launched. I think there were a few other initial issues that prevented it from landing:

1. The real name policy was draconian. Leadership didn’t listen to internal or external outcries for far too long.

2. The team leaned into “circles” and a strange permission model even over usability. E.g. rather than posting to someone’s wall, you posted to your own and set the viewing permission to that person.

3. Circles were frankly a chore to manage.

4. The network was seeded with too homogenous a network. Google employees were given first access and then could invite two people. The result was a network that was too highly concentrated with tech bros at official launch.
SEO is overrated in most cases these days. Nobody searches for stuff anymore. They find you mostly through social media, non-social media, and word of mouth.
Not just energy costs - replacements for kitchen/bathroom fittings as they fail, painting/decorating, cleaning, basic maintenance to ensure the place doesn’t fall down, keeping gardens from becoming overgrown, the list goes on.

>the destruction of this world by overpopulation and selfishness

Overpopulation is a meme. Many first-world countries today are literally seeking to import more immigrants because of under-population.

Besides, humans are natural too. It's not like we're built in factories and have smokestacks on our heads. We ARE part of that world which you think is beautiful, and to end human reproduction would be to partly destroy this world.
