This does make me sad. The shift away from hardware and software to "services" and "financial products".

Despite the fact that I want the banks to be disrupted, I'd rather have a Stripe or Square or Coinbase etc do it, and have Apple focus on other things.

I don't know about dumbest sport, but it's definitely dangerous. Also, not all BASE jumps are the same. The problem comes when people keep looking for that next thrill. I at least partly understand. I've sky dived before, and jumping out of an airplane is exhilarating like few things I've personally experienced.

With that said, the person who I first sky dived with is dead now. She misjudged the wind on a BASE jump and was blown back into the cliff.
These kind of heuristics are supposedly a prerequisite to the formal study, but sadly most textbooks don't spend the time talking about it (since logically it's not necessary). Instead of reading up on functional analysis (Banach spaces and Hilbert spaces), read bits of its history to get a taste. Here's one that's not too long http://courses.mai.liu.se/GU/TATM85/FA-history.pdf

> Is there anything preventing unions from growing huge and essentially dominating entire sectors in the US?

The structure of labor law makes it just as possible for workers with a particular employer or in a particular job class with an employer to decertify—and, if they wish, simultaneously replace—a union (or for a union local to dissociate from a parent organization) as it is to organize one in the first place, which doesn't prevent parent union organizations from getting large, but does limit the success of ones that, in doing so, fail to meet the needs of their members in particular workplaces.

I think leetcoding has become the norm to increase the friction when considering new job opportunities and keep wages lower. It incentivizes people to cut down on job hopping.
You really aren't using your imagination if you can't figure out potential uses for a hidden nanny cam.

What if I want to see:

* If my cleaning person is stealing?

* If my cleaning person is using the right chemicals on my stove?

* If the nanny is shaking the baby?

* If my husband is having an affair?

* If my teenager is doing drugs?

* Which sibling actually started it / threw the first punch?

Those are just off the top of my head, I'm not even being creative.
I think it is a realistic expectation. Think of EC2 in 2006. Getting started was almost immediate if you already had an Amazon account. You downloaded a CLI tool and your credentials, and started a VM. Prior to this, it might have seemed unrealistic to provide such a streamlined experience.

I would love to see the same done for Kubernetes. What I want is a kubeconfig file that links me to a paid account somewhere, and whenever I run `kubectl apply -f foo.yml`, I pay by the millisecond for whatever resources get created. Zero ops for me the customer, and all the complexity will be on the side of the company offering this service.
The Sega Genesis required the string "SEGA" to be somewhere in ROM. They tried to use this to gatekeep development for the system by threatening to sue any unlicensed third-party developers for trademark infringement. They were, after all, forced to use the "SEGA" mark if they wanted their game to run.

A federal appeals court ruled, in Sega v. Accolade, that you can't use a trademark that way. They also ruled that you can copy and reverse-engineer a piece of software to determine functional aspects of the console's operation for interoperability purposes.

It's perfectly legal to require a string somewhere in the header before booting a ROM or running a program. (Otherwise, "magic number" checks to determine if a program is in executable format would be illegal!) The Sega case was specifically about using trademarks and copyright to restrict access to functional aspects of your hardware.
Honestly, I was just trying to be silly ;) But you don't really expect us to watch your 20 min video do you?

Obviously if folks have bad working conditions, I want them them to improve. But how are 'anecdotes' from people I personally know who work in Amazon FC's any different than 'testimonials' from people on TV. I know at least 2 people who work or have worked in these FC's and they never complained. They worked hard & collected their paychecks.

That doesn't mean this is everyone's experience, I'm sure many have been treated poorly. But it goes both ways, we can't assume because some were treated poorly that it is all FC workers experience.

I have never worked for Amazon, but I have worked for FedEx unloading trailers by hand. It was back breaking work. The things I hear these workers saying remind me of that job. We were expected to throw boxes nonstop until it was finished, and our boxes per minute thru-put was closely monitored & expected to be kept above a certain level.

That type of work is not for everyone, and the 6 months I worked there, I watched countless people try and fail at the job. It was too hard and they quit within days. So, I can imagine what the amazon workers go through.

I don't wish poor working conditions on these people, but I also imagine that some of this is getting blown out of proportion.
@otras thanks for sharing. It's an honor to be mentioned on HN like this.

One of the big goals of the product is to increase interaction between loved ones. I wrote about this a bit more at https://nanagram.co/blog/niche-start — we have a feature, which allows you to list names and phone numbers of you and your siblings on a cover photo. I get reports all the time of grandparents who go down the list, dialing each grandkid to talk through the photos with them.
React Native can wrap any native component and bridge it into your app. If you had bad experience with a 3rd party component, that's not RN's fault, build your own extensions you need, but for the most part you just need the core. It's still easier than rebuilding your app X times.

- React Native you most certainly do get accessibility.

- Running a JS VM isn't that bad, but it is a tradeoff. Imo it's completely worth it to prevent having to learn X different languages for each platform.

- The app size evens out, but yes the minimal is higher. However many apps are much larger than 20MB, it's better than other cross platform solutions

In no way are any of these things so bad where I would duplicate my code 6 times and then maintain them throughout the life of the project. That's just crazy.
My experience with Fargate:

I had a Node/Express microservice running in lambda using the lambda proxy integration to send and receive files from/to S3.

I knew in advance that the 6MB request limit for lambda was going to hit us, but it was good enough for what we needed right then.

When it came time, I knew I was going to have to convert to Fargate but I didn’t know anything about Docker or Fargate.

It took less than a day for me to get the API up and running in Fargate following this tutorial.

To be fair, I did have experience with the other fiddly bits of AWS and CloudFormation so I knew how to modify the template to work in our own environment.
Having a status light ON for an outside camera seems smart for both sides – pro-privacy & communicating the property is under surveillance. What sounds frustrating is that when your network / wifi connection goes down the status light flashes amber – there was never a way to turn this feature off even if you had the status light off (previously). If you're a potential thief and you see am amber flashing light on a Drop/Nest cam, you know you're not being recorded. That's the bummer with cloud-only camera recording, there is no redundancy. I wish there was an option to "hide" error states in the status light and just keep it on as if nothing is wrong.

Of course the discussion so far has been limited to whether you should have a choice when your camera is inside the home and used for things like a nursery/baby cam? Should you have a choice "hiding" a camera to record anyone who breaks in?

I don't have good blanket answers, however I think it's illegal in Germany to record someone without consent, even if it's an intruder in your own home. Right now it seems the decision has been made for Google camera owners.
If capitalist class were replaced with managerial class? Or just management?

That's how I read it as I'm not sure capitalist class makes a whole lot of sense to me in the context, and I'm sure the commies used exactly the same tactics anyway.
Funny thing about NET terms.. Now a lot of the large companies do billing only twice a month. So if you're unlucky your NET 30 will change to NET45 + 5 days for mailing, bank processing etc.. Somehow I always get unlucky and miss their billing day with my invoices.
Note that Germany has some pretty strict requirements on what a car needs to have in order to be used as a taxi. Going non-standard in your choices there is probably not worth it financially in the end.

If the medium is so bad in practice that it does nothing to address the larger issue you're talking about. I think that is very relevant to both aspects, the medium and the actual issue.
"It's the second time in a few months I'm being turned down with the pretext of a failed whiteboard interview. Things like improper syntax and not getting the damned recursive solution fast enough."

Is it a pretext, or did you actually fail the interview? I want to work for West-coast-pay company at some point, and it seems that the idea there is for me to spend 6 months learning stuff I will never use, so I can compete with the kids who spent 4 years learning mostly stuff they will never use.

That is, if I fail it, it's not because I am older, it's because I don't know stuff fresh grads know.

IT is full of grinding pretty meaningless stuff (especially at lower levels), as much as we romanticize it.

Nuclear waste storage shouldn't ever be "final". Nuclear waste processing and recycling today is far more advanced than it was in the past. Nobody knows what we can do in the future.

It's intellectually dishonest to extrapolate technological progress of so-called green technologies, but then not afford the same to nuclear technology, which has effectively been left in limbo for decades.

Re: "You move that pallet 12 inches to the left and rotate it 10 degrees? Best case, it realizes it can't do it and stops trying. Worst case, [chaos]"

Maybe it only has to be 90% accurate. A remote-control human operator can help those who get stumped. Record the problem scenarios for later analysis to improve the next version. The bot will gradually improve, and human intervention will gradually shrink.

This applies to cars also. Auto-cars can contact humans if stumped, such as lane closures or officers directing traffic. This includes both the passenger (if qualified) and remote-control operators.

The bot will be conservative such "when it doubt, ask for help". As it learns to solve problems via experienced-based tuning (above), there will be fewer times it has to ask a human.

They are buying at a conversion rate. So they buy for instance a 100k bond for 95k, since the the time is fixed and payments are forced, you end up guaranteed a 2.1% net interest even though the running interest on the principle from month to month is fixed.

To answer your question directly: because companies are unduly paranoid. You should use those symbols once in a document, generally at the first use, but there's no need to keep using it over and over.
The medium absolutely shapes what occurs there, what is discussed and what isn't, and how it is discussed and how it isn't discussed.
Problem is the 'public records' not 'sharing phone#'.

Layers of security-levels to access records and appropriate log trails for audit shouldn't be that difficult to set up in this day & age.

I suppose, it's hard to implement in pure capitalistic economy.
Yes please, this is the only card I actually want mostly for security, privacy, zero fees and expense tracking reasons.

Disclaimer: I used to work at Apple in their online services division, and I know first hand that (at least during that time) they cared a lot about privacy (often against short to medium term financial gains)
Ground up infrastructure can only recoup some of the energy storage costs and mostly for home use. It's not going to help a steel factory, for example, or help with industrial use in general which ultimately has to compete on cost globally.

Airline branded credit cards are not the same as store branded credit cards and none of this has to do with financial engineering. None of the comments in this thread do.
I managed to get a small doc fix in a release a while ago and was pretty stoked about that. It was nice of them to put me in the contributor list for the release even though it was such a small change. (If I recall, removing superfluous `mut` parameters on `BufRead` or something)
The worst of excuses for bad behavior, "it wasn't us, it was the subcontractors (that we told to act that way)!"
It goes back further than the 1980's. It had its advent with the rise of business/managerial "science" that thought trained middle & senior managers could become standardized units of productivity to be swapped in & out of any position as equivalent units. It left out the fact that good managers have strong knowledge of the operations under them and the business as a whole, not just a managerial rule book.
I don't see how the number of submissions is relevant. People should be able to point out a (perceived) decline in quality without immediately being hit with "well I don't see you fixing things either!".

The code is sanitizing the username by running a prepared SQL statement. It's not doing SQL string concatenation.
This is a ridiculous position to take. The amount of code that I have to write on a whiteboard to successfully do my job as an engineer is shockingly close to nil. The very notion of having a whiteboard section for a programming job is insane.

You wouldn't expect a driver's test to include a significant oral portion, where the drivers spend an hour describing how they would parallel park. A whiteboard interview makes just as much sense, regardless if you're sharing a rubric.
2007 called. They want their insight back. GE sold off GE Capital over a decade now. None of the "financial engineering" relates to leases (although the dodgy accounting often does...but that is something else).

Financial engineering is usually concerned with building and valuing pointless derivatives.

In most cases, the derivative will pay equity-like returns with low volatility or income (stupid financial advisers go nuts for both). Invariably, these products self-destruct in a crisis (when the lads are off in their Ferraris) due to some bizarre optionality that is built in.

The other side is valuation which is about employing a combination of inapplicable maths with a wilful ignorance of common sense (usually to satisfy regulators who will approve your bullshit and then come to work with you next year to make up more nonsense).

The first task is dressing the pig up. The second task is inventing a mathematical formula that explains why the pig is actually a human. French banks are pretty much ground zero for this (I have no idea why).

Also, nothing is particularly wrong with American business. Most firms are not involved in anything like this, and when they do get involved it is rarely a case of them deciding to do so. They do so because they feel they have no other choice (i.e. engineering firms provide finance so that people buy their stuff, GE Capital existed because of the torrent of cheap money that flooded the market in the 2000s). The general move to greater financial efficiency, however, has been a massive boon (look at places that haven't done that...Japan is a great example, you want to work 12 hours for a day for like $35k/year?).
I watched Ultimate Go on Safari Books a while ago and recently got back to it to revise my knowledge.

It will fill all the gaps and answer all the questions one can have, especially after the Tour of Go or reading a book which only scratches the surface.

I can't express enough how amazing that course and how useful what Hoanh did.

Once you finish, I'd also suggest to take a look to the Ardan Lab's github account since there are tons of material for Go.

Bill's presentation also made me giggle a lot -which is a rare thing for tutorials- since he says things like

If I see an interface and it doesn't smell right,
and I'll be asking the developer, why are you
using an interface here? Now if the developer
gives me any one of these two answers, we're
gonna go take a walk.

as if this is a movie and he's going to take the developer to the woods to execute because the developer done wrong Bill :)
Marlopolos point where he says the Baker Hughes investment should take a goodwill impairment charge is incorrect. GE is right when they point out that they own more 50% of the company so it needs to be consolidated.
It's not just the art market, though. The numbers are absurd in the fine art market, since it's a place where rich people go to compete with each other in games the rest of us don't get to play.

But eBay is full of sci-fi memorabilia with certificates of authenticity. A uniform actually worn by Patrick Stewart on screen sells for more than one that was made for him but not worn, which sells for more than a copy made with the same materials. You might actually be able to wear the latter, but the first two would just be set out for display, like the Mona Lisa.

That's a game we can all play, and while I'm not really much into it, I am proud of my author-signed Klingon Dictionary for no good reason -- especially since I never even look at it. It's weird watching hundreds of millions of dollars exchange hands for trinkets, but when you're talking about multi-billionaires, it doesn't really surprise me that they would similarly want to own truly one-of-a-kind things with a poorly-defined "authenticity".

Back in the late 90s when digital TV was being rolled out, RTÉ in Ireland developed a technology called WiNDS. You won't find much technical information about it online because it never moved beyond the prototype phase. WiNDS provided a return path for ordering PPV events and other interactivity by embedding a GSM data modem in your set top box. It would transmit back to base using your regular TV antenna.
The We Company got inflated financial model.

Anybody can claim a trademark (TM symbol), but only those who have registered it with USPTO can claim the (R) for registered trademark.

Once you claim something as a trademark, you own it. You don't officially need to file anything. HOWEVER, if you end up in court against someone with a registered trademark, you'll likely lose unless you can establish "prior art". Prior art means you've used the trademark in commerce prior to the date they did.

i wouldn't take it too personally nor read too much into it. the whiteboard interview wants to extract signal ranging from "make sure this person isn't a complete n00b/fraud" to really relevant problems that should probably be eminently doable, depending on role. but due to a variety of factors it doesn't do this very well. for many the biggest is social pressure where at least 1 person is completely watching you work, which is stressful if novel or you're shy. or lack of familiar tooling, or whatever.

yes there are myriad better ways to extract this signal but, as the saying goes, you get to choose the game you play but not its rules. you've enumerated one option which is refusing whiteboard interviews, but you could also level up your whiteboard game without too too much effort. personally i don't think it's time to reach for malice after 2 failed attempts at something i'm inferring you haven't done in awhile.
I'm even older than you and have no problem with using a whiteboard during interviews. That said, interviewers who get hung up about precise syntax are poor interviewers and need coaching. Or are just looking for an excuse to ding someone. More to the point, I don't see how asking to put answers to technical questions on a whiteboard favors younger people over older people.
