> Sure, if your interests are closely aligned with the company. But as you noted, the junior engineer jumped ships 3 times already, probably with significant salary increase each time, and in part due to a CV that includes the use of exciting modern tech, which shows he's eager to learn and is passionate etc. Why would he care how the old company is doing?

Sounds to me like this is an endorsement of hiring less-shiny candidates who have been at their previous employers for longer rather than the shiny candidate who keeps jumping ship every time.

But Buddha says that the road is more important than the destination ...
I seem to recall Gmail doing this a couple years ago. I was working for a marketing company at the time and there were questions as to how we'd track metrics for Gmail addresses since Google would essentially "open" every email and load the images on their servers for their users.
I had portable cassette players that would rewind or fast forward to the next blank spot between songs. It was slow, crude and limited to the next and previous track, but it did work well in the era before CDs.
Thanks! Oracle is an RDB and app provider, mostly web-based.

AWS is a cloud platform provider.

Unless one (or both?) have changed while I wasn't looking... but even then, is the Cloud now so central to Oracle that its existence depends on it?

EDIT thanks for the link. "Oracle data warehouse" isn't Oracle's central business. Also, I'm not a fan of Oracle, but I doubt it's so easy to steal their customers. Finally, how can the loss of one govt contract be so harmful? Few of their customers, not even govt ones, are so security conscious... BTW I realize you're just reporting their claim, not making it.
A lot could be gained by simply storing the jQuery objects instead of doing the lookups multiple times per method. That’s a lot of unnecessary dom traversal.
In the past, large wildflowers and flowering bushes in my front yard would draw many butterflies and bees. The city started spaying all neighborhoods for mosquitoes every few weeks. You don't see butterflies or bees around any more. The bee hives in a nearby city were killed by mosquito spraying.
A wild whataboutism appears.
I would say it's more important than caring if something is a GET or POST on the backend.
Of course: aerodynamic benefits. Lower frontal area as well as better drag coefficient.

This car has an awful range at highway speeds, so every little bit helps (but you probably still want to drive at a lower speed if you're going far).
It's a shame that Vice News is getting canceled on HBO.
Electric cars are still an oddity, so I can understand manufacturers employing weird styling like this, because the kind of pioneering people buying a electric city car will want to advertise that they're driving something special. I don't like the look of it at all though.
C++ doesn't have the tool to do so. Just like you can build abstraction for raw data in any language, but only the compiler in static typed language will scream at you at compile time if you use it the wrong way and dynamic language will just believe you will do the right thing.
Same experience for me - rivets was great, very simple inside and the resulting applications were clean.
Might be more pragmatic to not dress like a tourist rather than to convert the entire population to your philosophy about not ever judging by appearance.

I'll also add that the reason that you wouldn't want to dress like a tourist is to mislead locals about what you actually are, which is a tourist. Judging you substantively would mean judging you as one of the tourists that makes them want to leave the town they grew up in.
You need some small flat flowers to get more predator species in there (including lady bugs, lacewings, and some parasitic wasps). Yarrow is the easiest for most of us to get.
> Not quite, the sender still doesn't get location and your browser fingerprint.

Yes, but the key question was about the open rate.

The statement:

> I thought Gmail's solution to this was to always download every image in your email and then proxy the image from their own servers when you view it. This results in a meaningless 100% "open rate" for Gmail

is incorrect because

a) GMail does not always download every image in your email

b) GMail does not have a 100% open rate.
Per the presentation, you would need to weigh the benefits/costs. Since TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, I would argue the cost of adding is very low. The benefits will be naturally high due to type definitions reducing bugs and cognitive overhead.
> Its minimalism and lack of freedom are constraining as a single developer just trying to materialize an idea. However, this weakness becomes its strength when the project scales to dozens or hundreds of developers

I actually appreciate this less for other developers, but even for my own code. Let’s be honest, It’s difficult to come back to a code base a year or two after it went into maintenance even if you were the writer.
Show HN: SQLWeekly – Bi-weekly SQL Quiz to solve and boost your querying skills
I've got an old Diesel Opel Astra which should have been in the scrap yard about 200,000 miles ago. The reason I haven't bought anything newer and generally haven't been that interested is that most of the new cars look awful and aren't that much better than what I have got even (mileage, fuel economy cost).

This looks like an old Golf Polo from the 1980s, which look pretty cool these days. Pity it isn't more angular.
Why can't Honda just normalize the EV drive train by releasing their top selling Accord and Civic as an EV option? Why does it have to be repackaged into some ugly little toad of a car?
I watched an interesting "Interesting Engineering" video on why utility scale batteries are a game changer.

Right now, in my area, we have a Nuclear plant that handles the base load, but we tend to keep it at "not full capacity" most of the time, because nuclear is harder to ramp up/down in response to load.

In the video, he shows how renewables can pick up the slack in many ways... but I was thinking, why not run our nuclear plants at something like 90% capacity all the time and store the excess energy in utility scale batteries?

It seems like these devices could have a far greater impact than renewables could, and they can harness existing investments in nuclear. It's too bad we can't just pump water uphill into reservoirs from nuclear plants and dump that through turbines when needed. Such a setup is obviously a huge investment and you can't really build a reservoir next to every nuclear facility.
I came in here to say this car looks great! It's design is very clean which is not something I could say about Honda's current over styled design language.
The great thing about electric cars is that, as far as I know, unlike ICE vehicles, short journeys do not cause excessive wear on the engine and drivetrain because oil, water and components are unable to get up to correct operating temperature.

I remember I was in a small CS class in High School. It was a mix of hardware geeks and software geeks.

The teacher had a script which would turn off all our screens when she was giving lectures. One of my buddies (SW geek) developed this script which would get around the teachers script and turn our monitors back on, but it was buggy and didn't always work.

The Hardware geeks just unplugged their ethernet cables. Go figure.
This is presumably a VW e-Golf competitor and it seems to be European only model (to meet the ever increasing restriction on emission standards there). The Standard 35kwh battery option is not impressive at all as Fiat's compiance EV 500e already achieving and or exceeding those ranges (yes I drove one myself.)

The Korean auto makers have already made a strong push to longer range EVs like Hyundai Kona EV, Kia Niro EV, all are in the range of 240miles. The EV market outlook post 2020 is going to be massive, all thanks to Tesla's demonstration of how you can make an EV the best possible vehicle with technology and dedication.
I find the tourist snobbery amusing. If you’re a tourist, what are you going to dress like apart from like a tourist? As to your smart phone, are you saying that the locals don’t have their nose buried in a smart phone, like everyone else? Are the different quarters of Venice sufficiently different from each other (and from other european cities) to be worth visiting? As to gondolas—if you don’t ride one, what’s the point of going to Venice? You can get great Italian food and ride a ferry through filthy water in New York—if you’re taking the trouble to go to Venice, you’re there for the gondolas.

I think the key is to learn or create something far removed from what you work with every day. If you try to learn something you can apply to work, you associate learning this new tool with how you can apply it to work and it drains it of the fun and novelty it's supposed to provide.
That's a good point. Updating the table might be causing a reflow. Will that prevent updates from causing reflows?

If the issue is brought up to management more than 3 times then yes, it's gross mismanagement and could be solved.

Which is why I provide France as a counter-example. They aren't mismanaging the potential issues. It's a solvable problem and France is continually demonstrating it.
The trouble is, the government gets constant complaints about services not working, or not being up to par with the public. The government should probably not be a proving ground for manufacturers that have not successfully delivered before. Instead, private enterprise can do that, and success with private enterprises should be a qualifying event for future public delivery.

An interesting observation, though, might be that consumer/public safety are opposed in some form to a truly competitive market. many companies could build vehicles that couldn't meet emissions or crash test requirements. But, if we want to guarantee those things, then it necessarily reduces the competitive pool to those enterprises willing to invest to be able to meet those standards. It is probably not of primary significance, but I like how policies aimed at saving consumers/the public from harm can also cause the public harm in the form of reduced competition and increased income inequality down the road.
I am in complete agreement with this. (Sing it, brother!)

But,

"My friend Andrew wears the same brand of black shirt every day. He thinks that if he conserves the brainpower it would take to pick something to wear, he’ll bank it and be able to use it later for something else. [...] I like to think about it like this. Let’s say that we all get a limited number of innovation tokens to spend. [...] These represent our limited capacity to do something creative, or weird, or hard. We really don’t have that many of these to allocate. Early on in a company’s life, we get like maybe three. Not too many more than that."

I don't buy this. If you try to save up your brainpower, innovation tokens, intellectual capital, or whatever, what you'll find when you come to try to use it is that you don't have it. Sort of like if you try to save up your upper body strength for a couple of years before you try to climb El Capitan. But I am just saying that is a poor example.

My experiences do not really match: Some CV compiler website has been emailing me ever since I posted on the thread, and the opt out is "If you don't want to hear from me anymore, just let me know".

Except there's no MX record for the website (Image: https://elixi.re/i/oamrerwz.png ), so I can't reply to them asking them to remove my email from their list.

If the person behind those emails is reading this: Please stop, it's annoying and I will not give you my money, even with a discount.
Love this product Tejas, we'll be using it!
I'm guessing it's due to factory retooling. I imagine the frame, chassis and obviously powerplant of a EV is much different than the ICE equivalents.
I've heard the zipline is a lot of fun. Keep hoping for a group outing excuse to visit the Mega Cavern. Usually if I'm by myself and thinking of heading that direction I'm more likely to wander the Zoo.
> Libra will still need the same infrastructure to get people to buy those coins.

Go try to offer Paypal to people in developing countries!

Libra is a cryptocurrency. I can sell it, you can sell it, anyone can sell it. You can't sell Paypal "currency" in developing countries (well you could, but they would either need an account with wrong informations or use your account directly for the transaction, which in both case doesn't make sense) but you certainly can sell Libra currency pretty easily.

That's the beauty of it. If Libra takes off, Facebook won't have to build infrastructure anywhere, simply because it will be simple (and relatively profitable) for anyone to build infrastructure anywhere and act as a middlemen.
Now do Tout. Or Yesware. Or Salesforce. Or every CRM ever invented. Or LinkedIn posts by Premium users. Also hilarious you think that Superhuman competes with Outlook.
Congrats Tejas!
I built a custom ticketing system for a hosting company, and maintained it over 6 years before ultimately moving on.

After the first 6 months in production it basically sat there for 4 years with no bugs, no dropped tickets/emails, and so forth. One of the things I was proudest of is that no one ever EVER went into work hoping the ticketing system would be up.

They eventually started asking for changes due to growing as a company, but I love it when my work is so stable people don't even stop to consider that it might not be available that day. During all that time, it was only ever down or malfunctioning when the infrastructure had problems (something I had no control over and a major reason why I eventually moved on).

Superhuman isn't an email marketing platform. From the article:

> Superhuman’s competitors are Apple Mail, Gmail, and Outlook. Exactly zero of those companies insert a tracking pixel into their emails. Furthermore, both Outlook and iMessage use Read Receipts that are turned off by default and controlled completely by the receiving user. In other words, when you buy a new iPhone or start using Outlook, no one requesting an Outlook or iMessage read receipt can receive one without your explicit permission. Furthermore, even if you do turn those on, it’s a simple one-time receipt… not a log of times and geolocations every time the recipient views the message.

Yes, aerodynamics.
I heard about this when they changed the law to allow cameras as a replacement for mirrors.
The platform on which the current generation of cars are built often does not lend itself nicely to electrification. You have transmission tunnels, engine bays with large firewalls, exhaust tunnels, suspension and braking systems designed for chassis with certain weight distributions. Ultimately, you end up designing a new platform with electrification from the get go.
The issue is that pickpockets and others looking to target more "naive" tourists will be less likely to target you if you're dressed less like a tourist.
Isn't Reddit the Reddit of Africa?

I like Afrioc but I'm always skeptical of sites that claim to the "x of Africa". Africa is pretty diverse with its many subcultures and interests. Reddit already does a good job of catering to these subcultures and interests in its subreddits.

That can be enough. What's the point of reading an informative book beyond satisfying your curiosity?
Agreed on camera bodies and lenses, but in my view a 2011 car is still quite new. I guess this depends on the country, taxation etc.

IMHO it makes sense to buy a used car at about 300 thousand kilometers. At that point it's cheap, it's already had a bunch of expensive parts replaced, and if it's survived this long it has a high chance of going another hundred thousand (given proper service, obviously).

Of course another point of view is that getting a car serviced is stressful, so it's best to buy new. But then it's even less stressful to mostly ride a bike and use a taxi or rental car when needed.

Not trying to be too much of a conspiracy thinker but 227 points in 1 hour should give the first spot on HN (it was though) but now it's on #12. Are the investors pulling some strings?
I'm curious how much of the electrical consumption the battery heaters take in the winter time.
I also read it because it was mentioned on HN and I think it is boring too. Everything that is happening seems quite random and not very interesting. I feel either something got lost in translation or I lack some knowledge about Russian culture and don't get most references, even though I enjoyed a few other Russian classics. Otherwise I'm couldn't explain why it seems so popular here. It really doesn't help that the German translation which I read seems really theatrical and has really contrived dialog.
Desktop email clients I know don’t load images by default, neither does gmail (well it does but it’s proxified) so this is quite literally not an issue
I don't see how I can exclude anything but banking, hosting and PIM from this (and some PIM apps and hosting platforms have their own discussion or support forums). So the only compliant answer to that would be an export from the password database with almost all of the 800 accounts in the ‘web’ category.

And I ain't gonna research when I last used each of those accounts.
Agree. Venice may suffer of all the evils in the world but the lack of cars makes up for much of that.
IMO who cares. People can do this anyway with dozens of different email tracking services. What difference does it make if it came from a 3rd party service or the email client they send it with. I think you should just expect tracking in email, just like you would expect 90% of websites to track you if you have adblock off.
I love that the featured car has the same lime-green body and black hood as Mr. Bean's Mini Cooper.

"The long and short of it is that you have to talk to each other.

Technology has global effects on your company, it isn’t something that should be left to individual engineers. You have to figure out a way to make adding technology a conversation.

This might be underwhelming if you were expecting a big insightful secret here, but trust me, this is beyond many technology organizations."

Now whether these groups are actively promoting this for ideological reasons, or just trying to profit off of it is a question I am unsure of the answer.

When questioning the reasoning behind things, I find the reasoning tends to always boil down to money and greed.

Including wars - usually someone is making money somewhere and has a vested interest in keeping the war drums beating. Especially if you own an interest in both sides.
That's fair. But shouldn't they at least get their top design teams on the case? The styling on this car looks like the design team just phoned it in.
Edison packages up info from user emails and sells that on the data market. Maybe Superhuman isn't doing this (yet), and therefore aren't being scrutinized for this security/privacy lapse in the same way.
