> 1- Do you believe that Google isn't engaged in anti-competitive behavior?

People seem to be broadly confusing competitive practices with anti-competitive practices. There's nothing anti-competitive about outperforming your competition. No amount of outperforming your competition can make a company anti-competitive. The premise is ridiculous. As long as Bing exists, Google search obviously isn't a monopoly. GSuite is obviously not a monopoly, Microsoft sells essentially the same product. GCP is obviously not a monopoly, it's piddling compared to AWS, and smaller than Azure too. The only Google product I can think of that a reasonable person might find concerning from a monopolistic perspective is Youtube, since afaik it has no comparable competition these days. But even still, having no competition doesn't make your behavior anti-competitive unless you arranged to have no competition through some mechanism other than offering a superior product. Youtube appears to have beaten out the other products in its niche based on merit. why is it Google's problem if no other company was up to the challenge of profiting in that niche?

We had this problem in Australia.

Hospital treatement was the #1 cause of bankruptcy.

Then, 30 years ago, our universal healthcare system was introduced.

Problem solved. There is a levy on our taxes each year to pay for it, a bit like a private health insurance premium. But its worth it. It also covers people who can't pay, like the unemployed/disabled.
Definitely, this list is not something you should be proud of.
As an American I found this list funny at first, and then it made me realize how difficult it must be for people who learned English in other countries to come here.

While this may have been intended as a joke, it may actually be useful to people who want to do business in America.
> 18 and 19 year olds are in commas, dead right now, or will be soon. This is killing people far faster than cigarettes.

According to the article, 5 people have died due to this vaping related illness. By contrast, cigarette smoking kills 480,000 people a year in the US: https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/heal...
That is a matter of fixed recurring bills. I know when I have to pay rent, insurance, loan payments, to a degree utilities ect. Once you have plotted those in the system, you know how much to set aside for that every month and those are funds you cannot touch without a very very good reason. And should you do so anyway because you're terribly ill, you make a plan for how to make up the deficit before the payment happens.

For my personal economy it come out such that the "account" for all of those recurring payments are always significantly in the positive - in other words, I can "borrow" from that "account" without it interfering with my ability to pay the bills. E.g. you have two annual bills of $600, one has a payment date of Jan 1st and the other have Jul 1st. I need to set aside $100 monthly to pay them, but at any payment date there will be $900 in the account, so it's always at least $300 in the positive. It's just a peculiarity that can happen.

So that leaves all the variable expenses, food, clothing, going out, ect, things you can control the magnitude of. Those are well suited for the envelope system. I would personally treat necessaries such as food and transportation as a special envelope in the sense that it's only variable down to a minimum but no further. Clothing on the other hand can be turned down for $0 for quite a while, and "going out" certainly can be $0 for as long as it need to.

How does all that fit in a cash flow analysis then? Well for bills and fixed income it's easy - just make the graph. But for variable expenses it's a bit more hand wavy, because I cannot not buy food for my children, but I can certain not go to that sushi restaurant. And that is where the envelope system is helping me. If I have an unforeseen expense that is greater than what I have in my emergency fund, and there is not enough to borrow from the fixed expense account without compromising payments. Well I have to transfer some funds from the envelops that have a surplus that i can control, such as the "going out" envelope.

This looks nice and having it produce websites and pdfs is surely useful.

Some hopefully constructive criticism:

- The light gray, low contrast theme makes it harder to read and also look washed out.

- Fonts and kerning tend to be handled better in latex, e.g. moderncv

- Having a non-open source license is of course your choice, but makes this quite unattractive to use (is it still going to be around in a few years? Will anyone maintain non-free software if you lose interest?)
Yeah, I also tried Financier. Although it provides everything needed, I didn't feel very comfortable with it running in the browser and storing the database in the browser too. Backups are hard in this case. Also, when moving to a new system, the import of transactions was a requirement.
Given the end of your quote, what's to toggle between?

Interestingly this has a different meaning in the US, and explains the Commodores 'Brick House'[1]

> You didn't "ask my server". You used a tool to extract data from my server.

You're always using a "tool" to "extract" data from a web server, unless you're manually operating a telnet session. A web browser is such tool, an incredibly complex and automated one. cURL is such a tool too, and so is cURL wrapped in a bash script. None of them go outside of what's allowed by HTTP protocol[0]. And the most core assumptions of the Internet and HTTP protocol combine into a simple rule: if it's a publicly routable server answering to HTTP requests, you can issue requests and receive whatever it sends. If a server wants to discriminate, it should set up an auth scheme.

> Break Google up intro search, corporate services (G Suite, GCP), YouTube, Android and a few others.

Supposing that hypothetically any of these products have a monopoly in their market, how does splitting them up into separate companies by market help in any way? Splitting Facebook into FB and Instagram at least makes sense, since the resulting two companies would both be social media companies and could be expected to compete with each other. Will Google search compete with GCP, or G Suite with Android? How does this make any sense from an anti-trust perspective?
Thought the same. Let’s try to pick HN’s brain: is there an alternative that you guys use predominantly, that can “talk” with gitlab’s or github’s issues?

It's in response to Hongkongers calling mainlanders "locusts". IOW, Hongkongers started it. You might want to know the whole story before deciding to pick a side.

I just came home, and my mom had the TV running, saying that "there is something going on in New York".
I remember seeing the burning tower, and heard the voice in the TV say something like "a plane hit the tower".
My first thought was that this wasn't an accident, but that a fighter jet might have attacked this building. Then the events unfolded, and the next day in school, I remember our history teacher saying something like "I was up all night - as most of you probably too, trying to grasp every bit of information you can get." We feared the response these events might cause.

I was 15 years old at that time, and I remember precisely what I did. I was born, raised, and still live in Western Europe.
Lots of people on HN probably hate China and post accordingly, but that doesn't mean everyone does. Hateful posts tend to get downvoted or flagged.

If you want to know what the majority thinks, you need to find a top post that wasn't flagged and didn't attract so many comments it was downranked by the flamewar detector, because otherwise the majority won't even see it. Then wait a day or two for the ranking to stop changing and check the top comment. I think you'll find it much more reasonable than whatever appears at the bottom with "showdead" turned on.
non-Basecamp startups:

- processing images

- providing API for warehouse fulfilment for online retailers (peak load is 100x of base load, latency goes out of the roof before Rails just crashes with OOM)

- real estate indexing with huge amount of data (we could not make the full text search work reliably with Rails)

These were pre 6.0 and I am pretty sure many things changed since, I am just saying it is easy to run into these situations. The bigger your framework the more assumptions are built in that are hard to come by. It is good for Basecamp startups not good for non-Basecamp startups.
Thank you for your documented insight. In spite of our best intentions, we—as a community—often do judgement mistakes. One thing that I've been meaning to do is to write postmortems about our reaction to some events, and their eventual outcome. This would help us improve the way that we digest information.

One particularly interesting subject to cover would be Bloomberg's alleged “Big Hack”[1]. Between the initial publication and the final denial by all the involved companies, a lot of different narratives have emerged and gained traction here—and most of them turned out to be incorrect.

No, it sounds weird in UK English too, unless as an adjective applied to a larger ungenered group. Eg "My female colleagues" sounds fine, as does "a woman I work with"

It’s in iOS 13 and you can already use it with the beta. You can enter data about your menstrual cycle and it shows a fertile window.

What’s interesting here is: I don’t know much about HIPAA, but I know a bit about the increasing regulation of health apps in the EU. The law is a bit muddy. But you could argue that apps, which gather health data and apply some kind of algorithm to it that helps you understand your body in a better way, fall under the coming Medical Device Regulation. This law will be effective in May 2020.

"You have to kill or pay someone to kill for you."

No idea who said it originally, but a unique English Lit teacher was fond of repeating it. No idea if it was his own thought.
They are compiled during the deploy process, with the binary or code + deps (for JS etc) stored on S3 and loaded on demand. This counts as part of the cold boot time.
I picked up an English copy of the Culture Shock series of books at a bookstore in Japan that was focused on the US (where I was born). Hugely enlightening. The biggest "ah ha" moment was how Americans always worried about owing people something, so they don't like to ask to borrow things or ask for help.
Ethics is a field of philosophy. You appear to believe in moral subjectivism, which is at least controversial[1], and probably a minority opinion among ethicists. The fundamental question of ethics "What should we do?" is one of the foundational questions of human existence, so it is quite fitting for the field.

Philosophy is pretty much as legit as the people writing the papers and the others peer-reviewing it are. The process obviously isn't empirical, instead you have to very narrowly define your axioms, and then in small steps argue from these axioms until you are at a final, logical conclusion. If your axioms are wrong, then the paper doesn't work. If your arguments are illogical or ambiguous, a peer-researcher will draw holes in it.

If I would compare the process with my own field, CS, I would probably compare it to system design. There exist a few fundamental axioms we have to follow, and a few things we want to optimize for. In a lot of cases, through argument it becomes clear which is the best method. In other cases though it is either unclear, or dependent on the priorities you set yourself.

I honestly thought about moving to the web version, but as stated, especially the storage of my financial data on some server of a random company is a no-go for me. The privacy policy is also everything but nice. They state that all data is encrypted but somewhere else they state that they may have access to it for support and in case of legal obligation. Not really trustworthy.
There was an article about how Apple was killing third party menstruation apps with iOS 13 because it is now built into the health app. This is why you want the OS to do it, rather than “start” “up” crapwares that sell data.
This varies by cloud provider. I'm not 100% sure this is still the case with Lambda, but this was the case when they originally added Go support.

> Algebraic data types ... are clever ideas very far removed from most real problems faced by real programmers

Everything else you've said has a case that can be made for it but algebraic data types being removed from real problems is utterly false. The contortions that Python programmers (myself being one of them) have to go through in the absence of ADTs are mind boggling. There's no language without sum types that wouldn't be significantly improved by their addition.
Like other WSO2 stuff, Ballerina suffers from too many almost complete features.

As I see it, they can hire dozens of coders in Sri Lanka, but don't have a good product management team that can turn a 95% complete feature into a market-ready one.

I guess so - but again this the interview of the Chinese billionaire.
I found this to be true when building a SPA. On rails I am already told the best place to put things but on the JS side its just "do whatever you want" so I try something and find out later that it wasn't a great way to do things so I am just wasting my time working out the best way to organize a project. I also have to deal with index files that just import every single component for the frontend when on rails this kind of stuff is auto generated.
This is something super important that is missing in android and no one ever mentions. Keyboard apps are all phone home everything we type. Fortunately my phone let's me block individual app access to the network, but as far as I know you can't do that in android.
Thanks, you’re right.
Well I'm sorry, but if I opt to wrap a cURL call in a bash for loop, I'm still a human that tries to access the same resources, only with a different user agent.

There is legitimate individual interest in both scraping and non-browser HTTP sessions.
Yeah, while this story joins the mass of stories that get flagged off the front page. Right now, one opportunity to be moral and show solidarity was given to you, and this is how you used it -- you aren't making a thread to help with what you use to belittle this, you use one atrocity to cover another, and think you're better than "most Westerners".

It's not primarily about who does bad things, it's about the victims, and how to help them. That's what empathy is, and that's why punishing evildoers even matters, not because the evildoers do. And yeah, I said evildoers instead of bending over backwards to say the same thing in more bloated language.
It's a clever approach. Developers love to jump on new languages.
Bad example. Facebook purchased WhatsApp in 2014. WhatsApp introduced end-to-end encryption by default in 2016.

This is an inherently classist attitude. I (and presumedly you) can get a new job easily and are in a labor seller’s market. This often isn’t the case universally or employers wouldn’t be able to act like this.

Strictly speaking it is less ambiguous.

I understood it to be a shortened corruption of lavatory and it's worth noting that the English definition of that gives toilet, and the American definition gives the sink in the toilet, which kind of reinforces my point.
Are you willing to bet money on that? I'm willing to bet any amount up to 1 BTC (≈10,000 USD) that in the next decade, there will not be a year in which the CDC attributes more deaths to vaping than smoking. I'm also willing to bet on similar statements that would be true if vaping is more harmful than smoking.

If you want, we can find a neutral arbiter to determine the outcome of our predictions, though they may want a percentage of the stakes.
For once a fair criticism of Django by someone who seems to know the framework well.

I don't quite share the same experience with i18n though. I always found Django statical code analysis to extract translation keys to be superior in many ways to other translation systems. It is giving useful context that are stored in the PO files and good translation tools use them. I also never had any issue with string based keys. You can chose an english based key or an abstract whatever you prefer.

Some of the annoyance you mentioned, that I agree completely, are more of a language issue like: reloader, or dependency management.

For multiple environments there is a very simple pattern you can put in place using an environment variable and conditional imports. something like:

from settings.base import *

if env == 'prod':
from settings.prod import *

You're inconsistent, and so are the courts and most comments here. Either you favour such conflicts to be decided by technological might, or by the clearly expressed will of the content publisher to have binding effect.

If you consider scrapers to have some sort of right to access any public website, any technological barriers inflict exactly the same harm as an injunction, assuming it is effective. IF you allow technical blocking, it would be preferable to allow blocking-by-clearly-stated-wish, because it would save everyone the costs of the arms race. It would also make both parties' success somewhat independent of the resources they can invest into outgunning their opponents.
>1) Walmart (or other) companies pay so low wages that employees are eligible for food stamps or other subsidies. This is utterly outrageous and should be a criminal offense - at least, states should be allowed to claw back the assistance costs plus a 200% fine from the company to discourage this behavior.

It's cheaper for the taxpayer to supplement a low wage than to provide for someone with no wage.

Many of these fall under the pattern of comedic overexpression or tactical underexpression. For example, "You're really dirty, you literally smell like trash" obviously means "you figuratively smell like trash" but the latter doesn't pack the same punch.

At the same time something like "not the best programmer" is a minimizing statement which is less mean than something like "bad programmer".
