Sure, but in the article these spaces are billed by their marketing as solutions to the affordable housing crisis, but it seems like they're potentially missing out on a market share and possibly creating living spaces which are even uncomfortably open for extroverts, by being designed as excessively open, in the same way that open concept over optimizes for design constraint enabling collaboration to the overall detriment of comfort and productiveness.
Hi Peter,

I recently came into the US in the E2 Employee category. The visa is valid for just 3 months.

- When traveling abroad, are there options to reduce the paperwork required to return back to the US, since my status allows me to stay in the US for 2 years?

- As far as I know, H1B holders can change jobs if they find another employer willing to sponsor them. Is there a similar procedure an E2 can follow?

Thanks!
A few of these things, while not necessarily wrong, should be put into context.

E.g. "Hundreds of thousands of domains' certs expire after 2099". Yeah, but no publicly trusted certs. They're capped at a bit more than 2 years and there's a discussion to cap them even more.

The certs they're seeing are almost certainly mostly: "let's create a test selfsigned cert for this host. how long should it last? let's type in a large number so we aren't bothered by it any time soon."
No, that's not what I said. I'm saying that the feds are not going to go "Shit, this guy with ties to violent Islamic groups just sent $50,000 to Al Qaida, but he said it was to ransom the files on his PC! Our hands are tied!" That's not how the law works.
I maintain a couple of docker network plugins. One day Docker devs decided that they would bundle an internal DNS resolver inside the docker daemon and take over the resolv.conf in every container. But here's the most amazing part. It only did this for custom networks. If you just used docker out of the box you would never see this. But if you used custom networks, and custom network drivers, it did this. And the docker team refused to allow any configuration options to disable it.

I now maintain a daemon who's sole job is to undo Docker's meddling with resolv.conf until I can get the bandwidth to explore migrating to Kubernetes.
Also could we maybe get an example of a person with a real job doing this? "Employee engagement" isn't exactly the kind of thing that requires, you know, faculties.
can someone please share how they deploy/distribute Let's encrypt certificates with auto renewal on load balanced multiple EC2 servers for the same dns name. I had tried this a while but had to give up and just bought SSL certs which I then include in my EC2 image.

I had a friend once who had a married couple as roommates. They didn't get along. The weekly RPG session was interrupted by arriving police a couple of times. Problem finally solved by my friend moving to a single-family dwelling.
This could be solved with wget1 for Wget 1.x, and wget/wget2 binaries (linked) for Wget 2.x. Only thing that does is break scripts.

Man, imagine if we could raise the caliber of the public political discussion to that demonstrated in this exchange. Heck, even HN would be a good start.

In my opinion, a big part of the problem with politics in the public sphere is that we've been conditioned (deliberately, or just naturally) to think about politics along a very small number of very specific (and non-comprehensive) dimensions, and through these dimensions reality is communicated to the public (in good faith, or not, in a competent and professional manner, or not), through various media forms. (And then most subsequent discussions take place at this level (at best), with rare outliers like this one where you respectfully discuss the deeper dimensions).

And then at election time, we force them to further crush it down into one dimension with precisely two choices (chosen via an incredibly low-dimensional and flawed nomination process): Republican or Democrat. But when they make that boolean choice, the mind is secretly operating at this much higher dimensional representation of reality (based on models that are, to varying degrees: factually incorrect or null (with auto-estimate enabled by default), and they cast their vote.

Most people "logically" think their decision (and those of others) is based upon the projected dimensional reality we live in (~Overton Window), but the actual reason underlying evaluation is way more complex, and invisible to us.

That probably makes no sense, but what I mean is very similar to the argument about "How is the internet still obsessed with Myers-Briggs" the other day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20887213

Myers Briggs is an attempt at "a" representation of reality. Many people reject it for obvious reasons, but then they'll sometimes turn around and insist in a different thread (with a new topic) that "Republican" or "Hillary Supporter" or "pro-rights" political stances are pretty damn accurate representations of reality, and can accurately predict behavior in a (subconscious) high-dimensional model (~mind reading).
If you want to test for their ability to "turn around" a conversation, then why not propose a hypothetical situation and ask how they might respond. Maybe:

"How would you handle it if X came to you and said Y..."

Or, if they already have past management experience, ask for an example of a time when something like this happened, and how they handled it, and what they learned. Or maybe start with this and then propose a hypothetical as a backup if the candidate doesn't have anything off the top of their head?

I don't know, just doesn't seem necessary to jump up to that level of negative self-generalization with the candidate just to "test a management skill." I mean, come on, "people who don't think very highly of you"??? Who is "people"? Why are you generalizing like that?

"Hey, so, everything bad that's ever happened to you at work, so, like, what did you learn from that??"
It's a love-hate relationship.

Next up in the news from 2000: "Data warehouses on the rise due to increase in data required for machine learning". /sarcasm off

Seriously: APIs were always a thing and always will be as long as different programs have to talk to each other. I just recall the good old "SOA" days with loads of XML in SOAP and WSDL/UDDI [0], when everyone told the tale of solving the interoperability problems once and for all nicely captured by [1]. I agree, how business was handled was different (you had a contract, and wouldn't order with one click and your credit card), however this doesn't mean it is fundamentally new. We will see an increasing shift towards "pay as you go" services you can consume but i wonder where the limits of this trend are as you get highly dependent on thrid party providers to not shut down or raise prices over night, e.g. [2]

I wish someone did a writeup on how it is that practically every cool studio of the 90s has dissolved in a big publisher. The only exceptions I really can name are Id and the Obsidian/BioWare duo. Even Blizzard, industry's sacred cow around 2000, were apparently put through the blender in the later years, despite keeping the name and franchises.

My hypothesis, of course, is that very few people can keep delivering for twenty years. But still I can't help thinking―what it'd be like if Psygnosis taught a generation of rookies their way and did something other than F1 and Wipeout after 2000.
Well, you're linking TO something and not FROM something so target seems more accurate(they are essentially pointers).

Twilio/Sendgrid/Mulesoft hopes this becomes the case.

People also need to realize that you could make the argument that the massive behemoth that is AWS is just an API company. They give you simple APIs to perform actions (in their case that might be to spin up a compute node, etc).

In the Sendgrid example, they give you an API to send an email.

So it’s about companies who create services and the customer touch Point is only an API

also disturbing that probably a large chunk of that aid becomes a transfer from the government to the colleges

Please don't phrase it that way. College was free or nearly free in many parts of the country, especially California before Reagan removed funding. From what I can tell, the push towards private sector funding has only made college more expensive.

College used to be viewed as a public good in America, which means that an educated populace contributed more to society than the cost of its education (which is self-evidently true). In the 80s, republicans made the argument that it was unfair for non-attendees to subsidies attendees (which I agree with upon shallow inspection). This backfired (as predicted by democrats) by creating profit opportunities where none previously existed. So we ended up where we are today, with ballooning debt loads and artificial scarcity in college availability but only marginally more students attending.

What we should have done instead was adjust public education from k-12 to k-16 to compete with the rest of the world. We should have aimed for full attendance and built the campus infrastructure needed to accomplish that.

I think this can still be done, but it starts with getting everyone on the same page. Especially in STEM fields, so that we can provide the innovation needed to get back to providing full educations in liberal arts. That will prepare us for the coming automation age post-2040 where the remaining work available is in humanities (like on Star Trek).

It's this worry that causes me to prefix non-urgent things with something like "Hey, question when you get a chance, XXX".

What feels demanding to me is coworkers who will simply send a message containing my name, sometimes followed by a period. Opening slack to see just "John." (not my actual name) is somehow both more and less personal than "Hi". I believe it's mostly a language barrier thing, as it's only ever ESL speakers who do it, but it still feels like nails on a chalkboard for me.

Given the dire situation of security, this can't be a "let the market figure out the solution" situation. When it comes to whether Google's IoT devices work with Amazon's, I would personally love for them all to work together, but for profitability, maybe that's not in Google's best interests. That's fine.

But for security, they need to be working together. This is definitely a "rising tide lifts all boats" situation.

The way you wrote your sentence I've quoted and replied to doesn't make that clear, anybody reading: "the 11 million people China is placing in concentration camps" can conclude that 11 million are supposed to be there.

I agree. However I think it is not the distinction we’re talking about here, which is about not having a firm grasp of fundamental algorithms and data structures and big O scalability.

In school terms it would be more like a technician or vocational training around coding for particular types of projects.
You can store the cert and key in a key/val store and each EC2 server would only need to renew the cert.
I don't see the contradiction. There are lots of suburban-styled malls inside "traditional cities" (dense urban areas), that look and work basically the same way, but are urban. Seattle has one or two of them, Portland has one, Minneapolis has one, London Ontario has one -- all of these within the core downtown.

Suburban malls are not uniquely suburban. Many of them are in suburbia because they originally targeted average/regular/middle-income people, so they are built in the places where those people are allowed to live (which in the US, is almost exclusively suburban areas).

Generally speaking, "Dead Malls" has little to do with malls dying (in the US, we're still building brand new malls today), but has more to do with demographics shift (middle income people now live in different areas) and target market shifts (many new malls have moved up-market, there are less wealthy people than working-class people, and wealthier people generally don't live in the then-new 1970s/1980s suburbs anymore, they now generally live either full-downtown-urban or far-exurban)
To me it does the opposite. It shows that Apple communicates and cares about security for their users. I don't see how them addressing and responding to Google's claims makes them appear in a worse light. To each his own I guess.

But some rooms definitely have more clowns. Don't mistake the message of "nobody knows everything" for "nobody has to know anything".

There are places and teams that do have competent, experienced people that know how to solve tricky problems, and there are also teams where too many key people basically don't know anything and attempt to silence the voices of anyone who have experience and expertise from making them look dumb.

In some places "everyone is trying their best" to solve tough problems, in other places "everyone is trying their best" to get promoted. These two orgs are not the same.

My problem with most of these questions is that they can be answered with bullshit and it can be very difficult to detect; you're optimizing for good bullshitters. These might be fine in conjunction with technical questions but I probably wouldn't work for a company that just asked these kinds of questions.

Managing to metrics because they are easy to measure instead of because they actually reflect the outcome you want is a very common mistake, but it seems like a particularly destructive problem to design our economy around that. It's probably why so many companies treat their employees like disposable punching bags: they can't easily measure the payoff from investing in employees so it must not be worth doing, right?
Beautiful. Thanks for this comment. Straight and upfront.

The Peter Principle implies that the higher in the hierarchy you go the more difficult your duties are.

My take is that engineers between like 4 and 15 years experience and are not managers of some sort have the hardest duties. As a novice you get help or are not handed the really hard tasks and as senior you talk about the hard tasks or do some pre-study and leave the implementation as a exercise to someone else.

Promotions are more about having a ticket away from hard engineering tasks than engineering competence.

I wasn't making an appeal to authority, I was noting that, like I said in my first sentence, Buzzfeed and Buzzfeed News aren't the same thing. I then go on to say, for whatever it's worth, at least one study in journalism considered Buzzfeed News to be quite good; I very clearly neither agreed nor disagreed with that decision. It should also be obvious to the reader that there aren't any studies in journalism on the accuracy of Buzzfeed listicles, which would relate back to my original point, that Buzzfeed is not Buzzfeed News, for what it's worth.
