I used the Boris Bikes in London 249 times last year, theres an annual pass that costs £90. I commute into the city by train so its a lot easier than using my own bike. In London at least the scheme seems fairly well used with around million hires a month in the summer months http://content.tfl.gov.uk/santander-cycles-quarterly-perform...

Yes, the 'work' is getting done, but again I think it could be around 40% more productive. I do realize that we have to refresh ourselves time to time but when it's a long stretch of time on work looking at investment/finance websites, I think these are signs of trouble. Of course, no one wants to block anything from anyone, or have butts-in-seats time. But I think at "some level" little bit of accountability is needed, I will need to have that uneasy conversation in some or the other way :|.

We built a 4200 sq/ft home 8 years ago, now trying to sell it in a gated community. The more expensive homes around ours are selling, ours has sat for over 3 months. We have alot of traffic seeing the house but because it doesn't have all the extras (pool, outdoor kitchen, etc) people are not buying. Sad.

Mac OS support by default to map the Caps Lock key as an Escape key.

Back in the "old" days, nobody would have voluntarily admitted they used the regular Escape key implying their hand movement is anything less than optimal. Hell, Mac OS was praised for almost not making any use of the carpal tunnel inducing function keys.

Then the touch bar was released ;-)
Yes, that's a good idea. Thanks.
Seems that you're angry, although I mostly am in the same camp, I can't forget that advertising is as old as societies. Paid magazines had ads in them. The web ... and monetization is an issue. It's as if before the market was balanced around a little more and regular investment from customers, yielding a better environment for companies to work. On the web you're running after cents everywhere.. Nobody's happy. It's more suited to passion driven websites ..
The image of the Chernobyl liquidators just popped into my mind, each worker only allowed to shovel radiative shit for 90 seconds before having a mandatory time out. Treating content moderators in a similar way seems like a step into the right direction from a mental health perspective
> you can never have a right for someone else's labour.

The reason a human's productivity is orders of magnitude higher than that of a stone age person is the work of uncountable legions of dead people. Almost everything we have and know is due to network effects of humans working together in time and space. The current generation's productivity is almost all due to inherited tools and knowledge. You do live off of "other people's work", we all do. The amount that you yourself contribute, and that you are concerned about, is negligible in comparison to the inheritance. We can afford to be much, much more relaxed. You are not living a stone age life where your concern would have had merit, because most of what you achieve was indeed attributable mostly to yourself (although even then tools and techniques inherited from previous generations probably was a major factor).

If somebody is able to "make millions", or even billions, how much is only their own effort? Put a baby in a swamp and see what they can achieve. That billionaire is sitting in the center of a vast network of humans in time and space - most of it consisting of the dead who cannot be paid even if you wanted to. It's certainly good and necessary to have such people in central network locations, I just dislike when people think those guys are "self-made". I let you live alone in a remote forest, and even with all modern knowledge, where is your "self-made" empire? Same for a 50k/year job, who still is vastly more productive than a $100/year stone age guy not at all because of superior skills or effort. Your position in the space-time human network determines most of your impact.

So to what I quoted of your comment, that is exactly what we do, every one of us. Some just like to pretend that their own contribution is much more significant than it really is, because almost all of the productivity and possibilities are from the network and not from a particular person. So - relax! It isn't you who pays, it's the dead >99.9%.

If by "it exists", you mean that there are dialects in which those are the pronunciations of "piano tuner" and "tuna sandwich" then I'd like to know more, but I've met many people who speak dialects without the so-called intrusive R and don't understand how it works (but think they do). With intrusive R you get "tuner and mayo" but not "tuner sandwich".
Why is this a problem? Some very rich people become a little bit less rich. None of them seem to be in danger of falling into penury over only getting $1M for their house instead of $2M. Sounds like the supply and demand working the way they're supposed to.

Ask HN: Latency Regression Analysis for Microservices
Do you have any trouble doing end to end latency regression analysis of your microservices architecture (Kubernetes)? We have an app which is >200 microservices and a user request might have several actual requests and multiple service hops. A lot of monitoring tools like Datadog, New Relic claim to support end to end latency regression, but has anyone successfully used it? It still feels like you need a lot of tribal knowledge to know your true bottlenecks. Most of the tools out there seem to give a per service breakdown only :(

I wouldn't be able to work for you. Sounds you want to decide everything. But sometimes, the manager's plan doesn't work out as it was supposed to be. I've found that relying on the technical expertise of developers yields better results than forcing them to code line after line what the manager thinks is best.

Then again, some people probably like your style. To each his own.
I never talked about people who are vegan for health reasons (†). I was talking about people who are not vegan, and would like to eat less meat if it is healthy. The reasons you describe is exactly why vegan burgers are not appealing to the larger market of non-vegans.

SaaS data protection provider Druva nabs $130M, now at a $1B+ valuation
I believe BEng distinguishes "fillet" (with a final t) from "filet" (without), the former having been borrowed from French when it still had a /t/ at the end, and the latter being a later re-borrowing (usually in phrases like filet mignon). Something like "filet of fish sandwich" comes across as a humourously fancy name for a pretty ordinary meal.
It’s hard to have something happen without first imagining how and why it would work. Is there something wrong with that if you also are aware of The existing problems and future pitfalls?

I’m not blind to the challenges but also expect the current economic and political situations aren’t going to just go away over night. This will make decisions which make not make sense today potentially more attractive in the future.

Self-driving car startup Argo AI is giving researchers free access to HD maps
Agreed. The web would be much, much smaller if we all blocked ads, but the quality of the content would likely be much higher. I'm in favour of that. Occasionally I stumble upon a website full of information written by a passionate individual - these are the best. Example from my bookmarks: http://vwlowen.co.uk/index.htm (I included the index to show the ".htm" bit - now there's a blast from the past!).
I have nothing negative to say about the raw performance of electric motors. As you've said, the torque delivery is simply insane, there are very clever applications of using them to cover the "low points" in the torque curves of turbo-charged petrol engines and whatnot. Putting an electric motor in each wheel gives independent torque vectoring with probably less complexity than a traditional AWD system. From a competitive racing standpoint they have value and very interesting applications.

But from a driver experience/driver engagement standpoint....they are lacking. Same reason why car enthusiasts would rather have a manual transmission than an objectively faster-shifting dual-clutch trans. It's about how your interaction with the machine makes you FEEL.
Any insurer will have an initial state you have to meet to get insurancem and they audit that and sign you up. They should then follow up every listed time period (annually, weekly, daily, hourly etc) to make sure you running properly. That way, all you will use is the changes that occur in the listed period. This may mean hourly backups offsite - all you lose is one hour's worth.
Then, the insurance company and the insured company must rigorously keep to that routine.Experience shows that people get slack, they skip backups and other forms of lazy boys at work - they still cash their paychecks very regularly though - never skip that.
Tis is a typical civil service operation. highly paid union people locked into their jobs, their IT knowledge frozen in time years back and useless now. Older 'rusty' people can not be fired, so that current IT capable new people can be hired, and if you hire a consultant it will also be unionised (Yes, Toronto has a law that says that). so they stumble on until shit happens.
Quite a few escape this fate, get good IT people and keep it up, these idiots are a rare exception

I originally did not call this project as fraudulent rather "This is not as advertised" which talked about here: https://github.com/vlang/v/issues/35

Note: some of the comments on that issue have been deleted by the v-lang creator as they were criticizing the claims made.

However, advertising a product can do something and then releasing it stating it cannot do it yet, is one thing, but accepting money for a product that does not what is advertised, is fraud.

If the features were advertised as goals, that would not have been an issue. But these features were advertised as existing and ready to use.

Please do not give this individual money!!!

On the other hand, a personal bike that is only half as shitty as the typical bikeshare will be extremely loyal and never leave you for another rider.

But I get it, it's the public transport freedom which people who never experienced it rarely understand: if you always return to your personal vehicle having to do so feels perfectly fine. But when you got accustomed to ad-hoc modeswitching itineraries, being confined to returning to your personal vehicle feels strangely limiting, despite all the "wherever, whenever" of your own car/bike/boat.

This is so crucial. I've had managers who were ex-developers and I've had managers who are managers first and not subject matter experts. The unifying quality among the good ones was that they aren't really leaders, they're facilitators.

- They get you what you need to do your job.
- They shield you from product owners and stakeholders by meeting with them and giving you only the information you need (unless it's necessary you meet with them).
- They advocate for you and your work.
- They give constructive feedback and insight to help you improve.
- They never try to stand between you and the advancement of your career.

Again, they facilitate. They facilitate the goals of the team and they facilitate your career development. I had one manager who said his sole mission was to get developers promoted out of his team. He wanted to make developers better. It can be very frustrating to find talent if you can't nurture it but I think great managers create an atmosphere where people thrive and become better in the company of their team.
I'll wait till the embargo is lifted and detailed benchmarking will be available.

The people who point out that AI has not yet replicated key aspects of human intelligence are merely stating facts. There is no basis for saying that they would necessarily do so even if and when this is no longer the case. What is the point of making such an allegation? It looks rather like an attempt at building a straw man: "claims that AI isn't there yet can be ignored because these people will never be satisfied."

One way I look to answer these questions is to invert them. I'm asking myself: "What are the signs that I have a bad manager?". A few off the top of my head:

- Lack of trust which leads to micromanagement and double-guessing
- Lack of professional and/or personal respect
- No interest in your career growth
- Plays favourites
- No enthusiasm for *his/her* own career (this translates into poor growth opportunities for you)
Why is there a market for shark fins in Canada to begin with ?
Unfortunately the UK economy is very London centric. And the deck is very much stacked in London's favour due to the sheer numbers who live in London compared to the rest of the UK - (greater than 1/8th of all people in the UK live in London).

I moved to London from a UK regional capital, and personally I've had the opportunity to improve my earnings much further than would be achievable at home for my particular branch of Tech.

All my peers are well aware that the rent is breathtaking - however most of us with home ownership aspirations are not intent on living in London indefinitely, owning or renting in the commuter towns in the south east are far more achievable on a good IT salary.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. You can argue that "aluminium" and "aluminum" are two different words, each pronounced the same way in Britain as in the US, but with the former being common in Britain and rare in the US and the other vice versa.

But there is only one word "solder", and in most of the US it's pronounced like "sodder" would be, if that were a word at all.

What I will give your argument of moving is that once you have something to fix it usually already have become a feature for someone else. It is usually not realistic to fix much of anything so much as moving in another direction from a different position. I just don't see any places really doing that. Not that it would necessarily be visible, but people are looking. While certainly having slightly different criteria Nomad List for example doesn't feature much in the UK. https://nomadlist.com/
YouTube harms children in just the same way as it harms adults. The difference is that children are more susceptible. What is considered a normal religious or political argument between adults can be considered brain washing if directed at children.

They do not possess the mental capacities or world experience to be able to handle arbitrary videos. And the fact that it's arbitrary is exactly the issue. My young siblings watch YouTube, and I will say the best children's content on YouTube is better than the best children's content that was available on TV in my team. There are amazing channels out there with ethical, educational, entertaining, wholesome content I wish I had access to when I was their age.

Children's cultural consumption must be curated by the parents or a trusted party. YouTube will take kids down arbitrary rabbit holes that can take them to violent, political, radical, targeted, or even genuinely disturbing videos. Adults can contextualize what they see, or disengage, and even then we see the negative effects. Subjecting children to that is not just bad parenting, it's bad in the sense that dystopia is bad in science fiction. It is poison.
