My vote is for "cynical corporate dormitories"

Since it's such 1984-speak.

Years ago they called these things tenement buildings. Although the word can mean any multi-home building, it usually is used (at least in the USA) as a reference to high capacity, low footprint, urban living arrangements.

So, yeah. It's a nice way to solve housing crisis for relatively low income living, but don't act like it's some sort of innovation that people are going to find super desirable. Because most people won't. Some people do, but most people kinda want their own house.
There will certainly be new jobs created by this shift, but arguably fewer than the number that will be lost.

And the infrastructure needed to charge EVs largely already exists in the current electric grid. A simple adapter allows people to charge at home, and renovating current gas stations to become charging stations will be cheaper than many alternatives.

>> 90% of what people develop or run today should be in containers, and not because containers are great, but because of the DevOps patterns of IaC, immutability, reproducibility, homogeneous environments

Sorry but no. Container is __a__ way of achieving a small part of what you are talking about but not the only way.

Break it down:

- IaC: how do you containerise a load balancer? Terraform gives you infrastructure as code without containers.

- immutability: VMs, AMIs are immutable just like containers are (discounting the entropy that happens in every OS)

- reproducibility: Same, VMs, AMI, Terraform, Ansible all give your that

- homogeneous environments: Not sure what you mean by that, your Cisco or Juniper firewalls are not running in Docker so I am pretty sure you already have "heterogenous" environment if you meant that by what you wrote

I absolutely disagree this approach that we need containers for the reasons you just mentioned.

My mental model for retailing is:

brand promise that appeals to consumer

+

communication of brand promise

+

delivery of brand promise

Stores that are thriving or surviving such as Wal-Mart, Amazon, Target, Dollar General, succeed at all three.

Stores that are going out of business at the mall are failing those.

Etsy delivered on those things when it was an exclusive hand-made marketplace. You could buy a magic wand that looked like it would work.

If they see themselves competing with Amazon they'll need to make a TV Network, a cloud computing service, ...

If they want me to go there instead of Amazon, however, it would be to get something I could not get on Amazon, like that magic wand.
Ed Is the Standard Text Editor
I've been thinking about extreme co-living, with people who have a shared set of values living together and sharing not just the living space, but also wealth, to such an extent that it's basically a new-age monasticism. Regardless, the idea is crazy and out there, and probably possible with a limited subset of college professors or something like that, but still, it has its basis in shared values.

Working at the same company is not a shared set of values, at least not the way that companies are structured today and how workers are seen by those companies. As such, I don't think that these living spaces can build the tribal and communal opportunities that make a shared living space workable, and make people willing to improve that shared space. As corporations become larger, and with consideration to the fact that they might start to consider these kinds of shared values and try to build based on those, it might be possible, but it's probably also illegal for a corporation to do such a thing.
People are lazy. They can't get themselves to change the defaults. It's a barrier they see too high. Pretty much why iOS is great because it "just works". Designing an HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) system is really hard.
This is a really interesting peek into the developers mind. Right away I notice I google things differently than the author.

Ikea should stop 'banning' them and embracing these. They should build a ticket platform so you can only get into the game w/a ticket. You'd put an armband on signifying you're a 'player'.

Discovered recently that The Tour De France started as a small cycling race put together by the newspaper L’Auto as a way to raise awareness and increase circulation.

Six years after the launch of Le Tour, Italian sports paper, Gazzetta dello Sport organises the first Giro D’Italia and following their success Spanish paper Informaciones organises La Vuelta Ciclista a España.

The three largest cycling stage races in the world today all began as “side projects” aimed at increasing circulation. Decided to write about it
Those are all good points and I'm not an expert in hiring. I just know that our clients - which is a narrow view of course - are simply looking to hire the best person for the job, regardless of immigration issues, and sometimes the best or just available person is a foreign national.

>Facebook has previously claimed it is not a monopoly and said consumers can choose how to connect with friends online.

That's like saying x was charged with a crime, and x defended by claiming they didn't kill anyone. Murder is a type of crime, being charged with a crime doesn't mean you are being charged with murder.

A Monopoly is just 1 type of Anti-Trust law, there are plenty of other prohibited behaviors and acts under Anti-Trust laws. So FB claim is not only not valid, but even if it were that doesn't make it a legal truth, as in saying there isn't a body so I couldn't have committed the murder (yes, you could have).
this! and they could limit # of participants so it doesn't get out of hand.

A Radical Guide to Spending Less Time on Your Phone
Good education should teach fundamental principles and theories that apply to every real world scenario within a domain. Unfortunately the push for "real world" education seems to have won in a lot of places. So you get people educated in how to solve very specific problems and are completely lost when any of the parameters are changed.

>Facebook’s “program of serial defensive acquisitions” was used to maintain the company’s dominance in the social networking industry.

Instagram could be considered a defensive acquisition. They should argue that the motive behind the acquisition was to expand their presence into mobile/imagery, which is different than defending social networking.

Whatsapp I have a tough time seeing as anti-competitive, since it's a messaging platform rather than a social network, and one amongst many.

The playbook is pretty clear for them: argue that they are in the digital advertising space, which is highly competitive, and argue that social networking itself is also competitive, with Snapchat, VSCO, Tinder and others as their competitors.
Regulation means you don’t get half-arsed made houses that have no fire alarms or come down in the middle of the night, have no running water or have dangerous electrical work and follow no building codes... the kind of housing we used to see in pre-WWII shanty-town housing.

That’s the other extreme to government only-housing (i.e. socialist economy housing). We’re in the middle somewhere and sometimes NIMBYism gets the best of us, but Houston is a decent counterexample.
A dating app by itself clearly isn't bad behaviour but the "hit piece" you mentioned is about not trusting Facebook.

People don't trust Facebook because of the other things they've done very recently.

i.e. the tax avoidance, the shadow profiles of non-users, the marketing of addictive game purchases to children, manipulation of time lines to alter user mood and everything else in a very long list of negatives that's been in the news in the last few years.

Until some length of time has passed between the way Facebook has historically operated and them acting honourably, each new product they build will be seen through the lens of a bad actor expanding its empire.
I'm actually surprised the list wasn't way longer with much weirder queries.
> I can't think of a polite way to say "please don't just type "hi""

Here it is: "please don't just type "hi"". It's that simple. I've never had anyone perceive that as rude or negative in any way, and they usually adapt pretty quickly. If they don't learn, you just have to step up your ignoring game ;)
It is! Which is why I don’t like the term. It often masks the fact that it has a cost in complexity.
> Professor here: this part isn't correct in my experience:

> > Professors are offered substantial bribes to select the most expensive texts

> I've never heard of this happening, and certainly have never been offered a kickback myself to take a book. Accepting one would be a crime for state university professors where I am, and probably almost everywhere else.

As also a professor, I have certainly never encountered outright bribes, nor anything that I'd call 'substantial', but certainly book reps take every opportunity that they can get to drop off small gifts—small enough that it feels overly fastidious to complain about it—carefully not advertised as inducements to use their products.

(However, there is certainly no shortage of outrage over things professors are imagined to do. My university's student newspaper ran an outraged article a while back on the fortune that professors make by selling off evaluation copies of textbooks. At least in my field, the worst that is done is to give away for free the evaluation copies to pestilential resellers to get them (copies and resellers) out of our offices; but I think it is becoming more common to turn away such resellers.)

Some context: All Robinhood funds transfers (withdrawal and deposits) failed overnight because of a malformed ACH file.

Deposits that failed were automatically charged a $9 fee and had instant deposit capability frozen.

This is particularly devastating to folks who were depositing funds, who were automatically subject to margin calls.
Good point. But if autonomous vehicle fleets arrive I suspect that will no longer be as true.

As more and more people decide to forgo owning a vehicle and just summon autos as needed, the market demand for a variety of different makes and models will decrease considerably. And autonomous fleets will likely want to standardize as much as possible, to make repairs simple and cheap. Ultimately only a fraction of designs may be needed of those on offer today, and the more standardized the options the more likely those will become automated.

London Review of Books: lrb.co.uk

Their game is this: ostensibly the articles are book reviews. But not quite. Sometimes two books are reviewed in the same article. Sometimes you'll have to read two thousand words until the book "reviewed" is first mentioned.

The book is basically the back story, a hook to the author writing his own longform article on the same issue. Informed by the book, sure, but no "the author then argues that..." recapitulation.

My experience is this: I get a new issue and read the table of contents. Not a single article sounds even mildly interesting. This issue is a dud.

Then I start reading. Some of the articles are boring. Or too high-brow. Or whatever. But in every issue, without fail, there are two to five articles that turn out to be really, really interesting.

See the article about public toilets I submitted here on HN yesterday. Or I remember an article about Heligoland under British occupation. Or about two very strict schools and their pedagogical philosphy.

Similar to that, I remember the feeling when I realized my parents were just normal people, they didn't know everything, they weren't right all the time, they could make mistakes, they had no fucking clue what they were doing when they had kids, but somehow they did it.
Favorite Interview Questions
I agree with you, but I think there is an even more fundamental issue. P-values really don't tell you anything. They can refute a bad hypothesis but they cannot validate a good one. This [1] is such an awesome site. It lists a large number of spurious correlations. It's quite remarkable how strong many of them are. For instance there is a 99.79% correlation between suicides by hanging and US spending on science/space/technology.

The big problem is that since we've already long since entered the world of big data you can now find spurious correlations, similarly strong, but constrained to variables that are plausibly connected. For instance what if this correlation was between spending on science/space/technology and an increase in the number of people pursuing STEM fields? People would immediately just accept it without question, even though it should in theory be held to the same scientific rigor and critique as one that challenges our biases. Science should not be a glorified exercise in confirmation bias. Spurious correlations don't mean you have a biased sample or that such correlations don't exist - it simply means that correlations have no direct relationship.

538 has a great little interactive p-hacking game you can play, with real data. [2] Ultimately any single datum that tries to legitimize a piece of research is going to be gamed. Science should be judged as it was in its 'glory days' - by the logic, predictability, and falsifiability of the ideas presented. Anything that steps outside these bounds should be treated with the most extreme of prejudice. It may be legitimate but the great burden of proof is on the presenter, and that doesn't come down to p-hacking up a 0.00001 correlation and calling it causal.

>> What most enterprises think

You mean the companies we regularly fail every aspect of engineering?

dsr_ summed up pretty well how Amazon and a bunch of companies think abut DevOps. Coincidentally these companies produce the highest grade of software, tools, services etc.

>> Most of their admins say they are not programmers, so it's not their job.

What you are describing is the 90s approach to IT. These companies disappear really fast. IT is changing just like agriculture was changing long time ago. Toffler talks about this in The Third Wave.

Old approach: lets do everything by hand
New approach: automate most of the things you can

>> In an unjust world, you end up with three silos. Programmers say their code compiles on their machine, admins say they have installed the new server, devops frantically try to build some pipeline that deploys that code on that server.

I migrated countless companies from 90s approach to CI/CD world, they never looked back. You just think that because there are late adopters this world is going to exist indefinitely. I do not think so.
