I'm not going to fight this one to the death but I have direct experience in this marketplace.

It is much more nuanced than "let's be centralized" and the idea of handing it all over to an agency is a joke.

Marketing / customer acquisition is literally their highest non-driver line item by a gi-fucking-gantic amount.

Sales & Marketing represents $3 - 4billion dollar cost vs a total marketing payroll of ~$165,000,000

There are absolute returns to pull out of each market by having localized expertise and control.

The fact that even on HN the consensus to my thread is that this should be outsourced indicates the degree to which UBER has masked their real DNA - this is one of the world's largest direct response marketing agencies with a ride-sharing platform attached!

If the CEO is taking head shots at marketing you can be absolutely sure that under-performers in the rest of the organization are on notice.

They sound very distinct to me (with an overbite mind you). They would not be distinguishing in English, but they are very much different sounds.
K8S was transpiled from Java, and it shows. Much of the code isn't idiomatic Go at all. So I wouldn't cite K8S as a shining example.

Comments like the one cited are fantastic, but we're interested in examplars of good (i.e., elegant and readable) code, not ancillary matter.

Extensions can be uninstalled, revoked, disabled at will. Can't really bend BigTech to do your biding, and that trumps whatever the security argument brings to the table, imo. Extensions should be done in a security friendly way [0], and not the other way around of making software secure by disabling all extensibility [1].

Take the example of the Android ecosystem: If plugins were allowed for apps, pretty sure there'd be a better story around privacy today. An astonishing 40% of connections from an Oppo/Vivo or Xiaomi phones are to ad networks and trackers. And there's nothing you could do (without root) except to firewall it (apps have started working around pi-hole esque setups). XposedMod has brought plugin based development to Android [2], but it is niche and requires not just root, but replacing key framework components. Using it might still be worth it, though, given the relentlessness of OEMs and carriers.

And that's just sad.

[0] One way to tackle the problem of developers selling away rights to their extensions is to legally make it binding to publicly declare whenever ownership changes hands. Disable extensions across all installs, and let the users enable after the fact is made obvious to them.

There's plenty of GNU/Linux apps, some of them providing online and offline turn-by-turn navigation, and some of them even already working well on mobile form factors.

The software will surely need some time in order to get polished enough to be used by a total newbie out-of-the-box, but it's not like there's no software for that at all.

Aussie with a kiwi wife here. She says they only ever called it a Dairy

At least in semi-rural NSW I've only ever used "corner shop" or these days it's generally a "servo" but never a "milk bar"

I fully agree. I'm just pushing back against the sentiment of shitting on the little guy, because of a personal opinion that what this person is doing is vapid or devoid of value to me.
Their payments offering needs to roll out better before they can try anything more.

It just got cleared by the RBI and will take another year of adoption (my prediction) before WhatsApp gets more serious about businesses and apps.

Their E2E promise also bites them a lot (So thankful that Bryan did this before getting acquired).
While I disagree with the 1-week review times that google imposes, doesn't the firefox approach defeat the purpose of the review in the first place?

While async review is better than no review, if someone pushed a malicious update and it got caught in the async review a few days later, the damage has already been done. Just a trade-off to think about.
It seems like there should be a way to escalate from an ID claim to DMCA -- to reject the ID claim as a content creator and force the claimant to send a DMCA. Then you can dispute the notice if it's issued in error, or counterclaim if they're abusing the process.
Ryan Bethencourt on growing sustainable food and raising money on Shark Tank
For a long time my church community (mostly in their 20's-40's w/ some folks 60+) frequently worked w/ our local volunteer organizations that specifically reach out to the elderly, disabled, impoverished, etc. This included yard work, resume/career support, counseling, making care packages and so on

I posted elsewhere that my first date with my now wife was volunteering at a hospice care center to provide some company to an elderly lady; she ended up dying before our eyes within a few hours. We spent another hour comforting her husband.

Sidebar - sometimes it makes me sad to see people stereotype people so easily online. Kind of feels like I have to carry the weight of and associated judgment of all those who did bad things in God's name or whatever. This is probably how good police officer, teachers, oft criticized good public servants feel.

Oh well, we all do what we can do. Thanks to all who continue to serve.
Question about the requirements of those alternatives (and slack i suppose). Zulip for example says if you have > 100 users you need a machine with 4GB RAM and 2 CPUs. Why does a chat app need a lot of processing power? I guess most of the messages are simple text, and IRC could handle thousands of users ages ago. What is the processing used for ?
Are they? It's been a few years since I seriously looked at diamonds, but I don't remember the "lab grown" stones being significantly (if it all) cheaper than "natural" stones from wholesale dealers.

I ended up buying a second-hand ring and having the stone reset in a new ring. It was cheaper than a similar ring from Diamond Foundry.
> All of these are examples where you're using two terms that both impose conditions, rather than removing them.

All of these? Really? "Fractional" and "real" are 'imposing' conditions on 'number' rather than removing them? Like you said, I'd bet you that 'number' first meant 'natural number' rather than 'complex number'.

And before you tell me how deletion is also commutative just like addition—I could debate you the merits of that in natural language too, but that's beside my point in the last paragraph.

> Does it? I've never heard it called that.

Yes? That's precisely why I just gave you 2 links to people calling it exactly that above!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_ordering#Total_preorders http://fitelson.org/roberts_measurement_theory.pdf#page=56

And I already asked you how you think a mathematician who unlike you knows 'weak' already has a definition this context would interpret 'weak total order' to mean? and you just ignored me there too. Just like you ignored my links way above where I showed you this is known terminology you're merely not aware of. I don't know why you're not cooperating but I'm tired of continuing.
That has been the reality for the Apple AppStore for many years. Seems to not have hurt them. And Chrome has a much larger market share (or browser share) than iOS has.

As long as you have that, you can pretty much do whatever you like to the devs as long as you don't piss off the users
I think komali2 was saying that's what happens right now — you end up with less than no money and no meaningful education.
> Deliver us specific content we can monetize, and don't dare touch major IP holders' content

The creators are complicit in this agenda, that's the reason for the backlash, they have an expectation of income from YouTube and when they run afoul of the algorithm it hurts their paychecks.
If you have a physical location and don't have state approval, yes.
>Is it fair for YouTube to then de-monetize the independent content creators who are creating make-up tutorials

Fair, no. Legal? Yes.

> Over time, the independent creators have less YouTube ad revenue share.

OK, and? There is no fundamental right to YouTube monetization.

>Their competitor (in which Alphabet has a stake), is "coincidentally" given higher search ranking and more visibility in the recommendations as well.

Ranking is a problem, if you are platform then everyone has equal voice then the ranking system needs to be 100% equal and transparent, which it is current neither.

> What happens to the independent content creators over time?

They find other ways to make $$ or they find another career. Lots of YT's are now pushing things like pateron membership. There is also nothing stopping any YT from going out and securing their own advertisers and doing their own ads in their videos.

>What is the legal remedy for the above scenario?

Legal remedy is simple, YT can't ban/restrict/bury content. YT can decide who, if anyone, they want to monetize.

>How would one even prove this case in court?

It is obvious when a video is taken down, and if the ranking system was 100% transparent it would also be easy to verify if there was tampering ("My video had 1mil views in the first 24 hours, this other video had 200k views the first 24 hours, the other video was trending, mine wasn't.")
That's kind of you, and I wish you the same luck and peace.
I can sleep at Burning Man with ear splitting sound camps blaring mere feet from my tent. It's called earplugs, they work well and they're very cheap. I've used them to equal success at home on the Fourth of July, too. It simply isn't a big deal. Let Cletus light firecrackers and work on his car in his own drive way. Who the hell are you to tell him otherwise? Go live in an HOA if you want to tell your neighbors how they can and can't behave on their own property.
The fact of the matter is that neither of us know.
In my case, a few minutes practice was enough. Subjectively it’s somewhat like holding your breath. I don’t know if that’s a common or uncommon ability.
I don't use Slack, but I'm curious about which features make up the "more than that" part.
It is hard to get your foot in the door. I had the same troubles when i started out 7 years ago. Once you hit a couple years of experience (5 i think for most), then you get a lot more interviews which you can convert into jobs. I'm not sure why employers are lamenting, it is the classic "want someone highly skilled but don't want to pay them enough" paradigm with most employers.
Well, the meaning of "reduced" has shifted from "not having specialized instructions" to "load-store and preferably fixed-length".

Here's a CRC32 impl using POWER8/9 polynomial instructions: https://github.com/antonblanchard/crc32-vpmsum — coincidentally, you don't have to do this on ARM, ARM just has CRC32 instructions.

> hardware-level decimal-floats (for those bankers running COBOL)

IBM being IBM :) I've heard somewhere that they are sharing some internals between POWER and z/Architecture (mainframe) chips. No idea how true it is and how much is shared if true, but a scenario like "decimal floats were implemented because mainframes are using the same backend with a different frontend, so we exposed them in the POWER frontend too" sounds quite plausible.
The Athletic (subscription-based sports media company) reaches 500k subscribers
In step 3 all that happens is that Youtube sends a second request to the original bot asking if they are correct. All of the bots immediately return yes. There is no penalty for the media cartel lying to YouTube so they don't even care.

For the cartels the decision tree is simple. Issue a demonetization claim and take the money for the channel. Doesn't matter if they own it or not. If the user successfully contests it then you're just out the money going forward, but nothing else. There's literally no reason for them to act ethically, so they don't. If YouTube does push back they have the weight of Copyright Law to bring down on YouTube, making even relatively small violations worth potentially trillions of dollars in damages.
I'm new to the term "ADU", but if you're referring to coach houses those are some of the most desirable apartments in the city, and you can't build more of them.

The most egregious zoning ordinance in Chicago is that in many residential districts an existing structure cannot be subdivided into multiple units, but multiple units can be combined into a larger unit. This is a legal bias in favor of rising prices and falling access.
> Real personal responsibility is leaking as little information as possible to these fuckers in the first place.

In the case of credit rating agencies, it's literally impossible to live as an American citizen who interacts with the modern financial system and not have your information end up in their databases.

Your advice is unhelpful because most people are not prepared to drop completely off the grid, pay for everything in cash or cryptocurrency, and consign themselves to never taking out a loan owning a home.

I've never seen a cellphone with a soldered battery, and most of the slowdown in iPhones is caused by the OS slowing down to make up for reduced battery capacity. With apple and other manufacturers having to replace batteries in their own phones, I seriously doubt we'll ever see soldered batteries.
I mostly agree, except I'd probably frame it a bit differently:

> Need more users pre IPO to juice the growth story

Or, "VCs tell us we need to spend their investment quickly in whatever areas will generate a hockey stick growth in valuation. We can always fix our business model when we're ready to."

> Cut costs post IPO

Or, "We no longer answer to our VCs. Now we answer to the public market who cares a lot more about the fundamentals of our business. Now we need to improve our fundamentals to push our market cap upward."

I was handling more cash than that as a teenager. I worked in retail and it was pretty common that the morning deposit would be more than that.

Also, if you ever make secondhand equipment purchases from a private seller (not a used-whatever dealer) you get comfortable with large amounts of cash.

Hell, I had that much money stack up in my sock drawer after a months of collecting rent from my roomates.

Just because it's unusual to you doesn't mean you have any perspective to comment on if the law should view it with suspicion.

If you buy a nice little SFR for $X and the day after closing, your neighbor opens up a new junkyard, do you think your house is still worth $X on the market? That is part of why people buy in areas with zoning and, more extreme example, why people buy in areas with HOA regulations.
Cookie-cutter community is an oxymoron.

Communities arise spontaneously when a group of people find themselves together with a common purpose, common values, common moment in time, or they just enjoy each others' company. If those elements aren't present, you just have a bunch of individuals sharing space. If they are, a small group forms, they invite others who share their values, and the community grows organically. The physical plan and organization can affect whether a community develops, but nearly all interventions appear to be negative. You can kill community, but only its members can grow it.

Lots and lots of people have tried to engineer community, from everyone who failed at building a Web 2.0 social-networking startup to colleges that manipulate their housing & dining arrangements to apartment complexes with "community rooms" and scheduled events to the huge planned Chinese & Soviet megacities that were supposed to house millions but basically got nobody.

Community always starts with individual humans, authentic emotions, and a time and place. A lot of people think that by supplying the time & place they'll get the community, but it doesn't work that way. People and emotions come first.
It was expected to happen, now that they have to scale down on aggressive expansion and focus on making their existing markets profitable instead.

Without a reason, they shouldn't. But there's an ambiguous area in there.

For instance, my house in SF actually shares a foundation with the two neighboring houses. This was an issue when I wanted to remodel to get better ceiling heights. I'd say I'm not free to do whatever I want with a shared foundation.

Also, when you share a wall, you do have an interest in verifying that the electrical and firewall work done next to your house is up to code.

It can get out of hand, but there are a lot of reasons for permits and inspections. I don't think entering someone's house, scheduled well in advance, with a very limited agenda to simply verify that recently added wiring in a dense, crowded neighborhood with shared walls, and leaving immediately afterwards, would qualify as an unreasonable search and seizure.
From a recent comment around here I (re)learned that some software developers "just build to spec and they're done"; it's not their fault that some user presses a button and accidentally launches all nuclear missiles [or whatever], that wasn't stated as "don't allow it" in the spec so it's not their fault.

And then QA does their good job and gets hate for saying that accidental nuclear genocide [or whatever] might be a bad thing so let's fix that before release to the customer.

Sure, "code to spec and you're done". But are you actually really done? Are you sure?

I can understand someone preferring a stone formed by natural processes over æons and discovered by a miner over one created in a factory.

I can also understand someone preferring a stone crafted to exacting technical standards over one randomly found in nature.

They're just different ways of looking at the world, and that's okay. Me? I kind of like the romance of a stone which formed before the first man climbed down from the trees, but I don't begrudge anyone his scientific marvel either.
