>It’s not the employers responsibility to subsidize below-median earners, because they aren’t the ones collecting the surplus from the above-median earners.

This I disagree with emphatically. The empoyers benefit from the social structure supported by tax dollars.

Could you imagine a starting a business in the wilderness with no transportation, utilities or other community supported infrastructure ?

Those companies also put the most wear and tear on the infrastructure.

That particular horror story led me to not equip our development team with a dozen POWER9 machines, which is a pity, because the combination of almost-total trustworthiness and enormous firepower was extremely attractive for our particular niche (plus, I used to hand-code PPC64 AltiVec “velocity engine” code for HFT funds back when Apple sold G5 Xserves).

I’m glad to hear that it was a one-off and that you have revised your support strategy, but... really, it made for a pretty frustrating read. It’s not chump change, and going out on that kind of a limb on... trust... which was clearly unwarranted at least at the time of that initial incident.

There’s nothing more frustrating than paying top dollar for something exotic and then being stonewalled by oblivious “tech support” when things don’t work as advertised, particularly when something is sufficiently novel or unusual that relatively few other users are out there to proffer help and the potential points of failure are plentiful and “unknown unknowns”.

As far as I’m concerned, that incident was extremely bad publicity. That board could’ve been shipped to me. I’d have been left to dangle from my solitary rope and squirm when management asked me what was going on.

That’s just not acceptable, sadly.
Don't use Apple or Android. Google is every bit as evil as Apple.

GPDR definitely affects data collected from customers who have consented, and even whether those terms are legal.
Have you found the solution to keep things from asking for permission on things? I haven't upgraded yet, but experience this for a good 20+ items on reboot, and I haven't been able to find a solution to stop it. (including going into my keychain and trying to allow more permission to some items)

Sometimes this mean 5-10min of allowing things access and typing my password over and over for each prompt. Things usually work after that, but I don't even have a clue, often times different apps seem to be asking if they can access system programs.

> I don’t think most people care about HighDPI (or whatever you want to call it), particularly Linux devs. But I can’t go back to lower DPI screens.

I find this surprising. I'd say anyone who does any serious amount of multitasking (whether a Linux dev or not) would easily want one. I think people do care but they are just waiting on better pricing/availability.
They could - or their marketing department could get some C-level pressure put on retaining it so they can try and "reactivate the potential customers" later.

Similar to how Twitter sent out marketing to contact devices registered for account recovery.
I've tried both, in fact.

I had rTMS done for a few months, and a couple of different protocols of ketamine infusions.

rTMS was mostly just killing time after I got used to the noise and sensation - the doctor I saw had a TV mounted with Netflix and other services available for you while you sat there.

Ketamine (IV; I haven't tried the esketamine nasal spray that got approved) is an intense experience each time - many doctors advise people sit in dark rooms with headphones playing music while the treatment goes on. I usually describe it as removing a lot of the ability to ignore things - that is, you experience a cognitive burden for all the things you're seeing/hearing/etc in the room, and sufficiently much cognitive burden is draining. It also affects your flow of thought a lot so you don't necessarily track well in conversations with people until you're more experienced. (I also found that it made my emotions very directly influencible by the music or conversation or w/e was going on during the treatment.)

It often makes people nauseous or vomit, so every clinic I've been to stocks an anti-emetic and a bucket.

Some doctors also give you a benzo with the ketamine because it makes it a less intense experience. There's inconclusive research on whether this dulls the antidepressant effect last I looked - I requested during my most recent treatments (mid-late 2018) that they not use it, and they were happy to comply, but it definitely makes the experience less visceral.

rTMS I saw no personal benefit from even after extending the treatment interval past the usual number of weeks. Ketamine I saw massive improvement a month or so after doing an initial treatment of 6 infusions in 2 weeks, but after a few weeks the effect lapsed (though I'd been having "maintenance treatments" periodically), with no recurrence regardless of the protocol we tried.

Please feel free to ask if there's some specific questions that'd be useful to have answered.
But you would think twice if they had a nazi flag hanging in the window. Or if the owner refuses to cut meat for a gay wedding and everyone in town is watching who enters.

You should care if what they are doing is against your belief system. There is a domain register that doesn't allow employees to smoke at work or home. I decided to pull my business because I don't want to support that type of company. Maybe amazon doesn't align with your views.
You would have 5 workspaces. How they work together is sort of up to you.

If you use `local_repository`, then you can link whatever's checked out from version control together. This can be dangerous since there's nothing that enforces what version of what works with what, but it's helpful for example, if you want to beta test a new version of a ruleset in a workspace that consumes it.

If you want to be strict about publishing artifacts and versioning, then `http_archive` is the way to go. You can choose your publishing schedule and other workspaces can independently manage which versions of the published artifacts they want to use.

`git_repository` is a middle ground if you don't want the hassle of publishing versioned artifacts, since it lets each workspace reference specific commit SHAs for the things they import.

Ask HN: How to Sell the DevOps Mindset
I assume this has been done before: Does anyone know good presentations on how to convince a CTO to adopt more of a DevOps culture? Main worries will be around security (separation of duties, ...) and risking reliability (we are talking getting in trouble for deviating from 99.999% here).

Some background: Imagine you work in a company, you live your life happily with your ops friends: You are in the cloud, your rolling out more and more resources in terraform, your build pipeline is automated, tools are not bleeding edge but quite modern, you put hard work into automating as much as possible for your developer friends. You have all this with a few restrictions as you have quite sensitive data (that's also why you have a few security related certifications as an organization).

Then this very happy day comes along and you get rewarded for all the hard work and get acquired. The cool thing is you now have the chance to convince a much larger organisation about DevOps culture etc.

Pointers are appreciated!

Just to add maybe: The people working there are very smart and have successfully built a system which is above 99,999% in availability. They understand the benefits in an abstract way but are not sure how they can keep their reliability and security if they try to do things differently. I assume the goal of the presentation needs to be two things:

1. Showing that there is a way to get security and reliability even with DevOps

2. The hidden costs and risks to the business of not improving your processes and being able to introduce changes quickly and innovate

> And the research is there that we absorb calories and nutrients differently depending on how and how much we cook things but that should be the discussion.

Steak has significantly more available nutrients and calories if you cook it well done. I don't want to live in a world where we define food only on that axis.
Taking users right to the screen in settings strikes me as a less-than-ideal decision—is that true in the most recent version of stock Android? I recall having to navigate there myself, but I could be wrong.

Regardless, I think there's a world of difference between "Tap an app to install and run" and "tap an app and move through several dialogue boxes, which include a scary security warning." It's not perfect, but it's leagues better than Apple's alternative...
It's probably a reference to how Waze alerts people to speed traps. It seems Google Maps has started doing this too.

(I find these alerts an annoying distraction and shut them off.)
> We are using our position as one of the nation’s largest employers to encourage other companies to raise their wages and to lobby members of Congress and state legislatures to raise the minimum wage.

I heard this first-hand from an Amazon HR who fought for the rights of the warehouse workers (factories as they call them) that during one of the bi-annual OLR (reviews) they were given feedback that they simply don't get the business and aren't a fit for the role. They said it was because they prevented warehouse contract workers or employees from being terminated without-cause, which would have saved Amazon money that they otherwise would have have paid as severance and absolved them from affording the workers a notice period. The factory workers (in their home-country) are no better than slaves as they do not understand their rights well enough and the managers take them for a ride to please their superiors in furthering narrative that serves as datapoints for their leadership qualities bi-annually. Amazon as a corporate might take an official stance, sure, but Amazon's vulture-culture is hiding in the plain sight for all to see.

> Amazon prioritizes equal pay, and since we’ve been measuring and publishing the ratio over the past several years, women have earned between 99.5 and 101.5 cents for every dollar that men have earned in the same jobs.

Why is that an ex-teammate of another Amazonian I spoke to who had issues with their eyesight struggled immeasurably to get promoted before quitting or being made to quit? Why do they stack-rank someone undergoing personal trauma or chronic illness to the bottom and treat them like a perishable resource? Again, official stance is one thing, ground realities are another. Lying with statistics is one thing, actually confronting the elephant in the room... Well, that's not their forte.

> Governments should work quickly to put in place a regulatory framework for facial recognition technology.

> Our customer-centric approach has led us to follow privacy-by-design principles since our founding.

It is well-known that Amazon would copy your product and manufacture it themselves if there's enough money in it. How do they know? Well, they mine the hell out of the buying behaviour they track. They conveniently can target market segments to optimise returns. Not to mention prominent placement for Amazon Brands in search results.

Also, I believe, they do share buyer's personal information with the seller, per purchase.

And show ads.

None of this screams privacy-by-design, to me.

> Corporate tax codes should incentivize investment in the economy and job creation.

Why isn't there a bullet point abt social responsibility? Continuing to corner massive amt of wealth for your board, your shareholders, your VPs and employees is plain greed after a point.

I guess, I'm just grumpy and need to lighten up.
Well, I'm not famed for my user-orientated designs and thinking!

But there are numerous ways this could be handled. A few off the top of my head:

1. Do nothing - leave things the way they were pre-Catalina
2. Default all apps installed pre-Catalina to "Allow", so you only get the prompt for newly installed apps
3. Make it configurable at the OS level, so you can set the default you want, and then tweak individual apps as you see fit

> As a face-value claim, that's obviously untrue. Forth, by any reasonable metric, is a smaller language than Go, but I think you'd have a hard time claiming it's more productive.

I used Forth instead of Awk recently. What I wanted to do required to be more proficient than I am in Awk, while I am proficient in Forth. As you probably know, Forth is not exactly a string-oriented language.

There's no language more productive than others. But there are triplets (programmer, language, task) that are more productive than others.
I think your title is misleading. They will accept cash deposits, just not cash deposits into someone else's account. That's a big difference.

I think this is primarily a response to employee unhappiness about some of these topics. Amazon also uses statements like this and the leadership principles to ensure that the autonomous two-pizza teams make decisions that align with the high-level beliefs of the company. It's going to be easier to push for climate-conscious decisions now that this document has been published.

>But if that was the problem, then how/why are other manufacturers making them viable?

Because their products are not as great as Dyson's?

I'm kinda surprised people here are focusing on this. As an example, if I make a $10K vacuum cleaner for residential use, and it's way better than all existing residential vacuum cleaners, then that would be an example of a great product that is not economically viable.

Dyson isn't saying electric cars are not economically viable. He's not even saying that good electric cars are not. He is saying that the one they had designed is really good but would need to be sold at a price that is not viable.

Of course, given that Teslas are selling very well in the UK, I do wonder...
I'd love to e-bike to work but the way neighborhoods are set up, I have a minimum commute of several miles just to get out of the neighborhood. And everything is just so far apart. It's hard to move close enough to work to make an e-bike make sense.

The fastest bike they said at 28mph means my average speed including red lights would be about 15mph, means It would take me an hour to get to work! Here in the US, it's probably better to just get a motorcycle.

the big adv of e-bike is no need to pay yearly registration, right? also, no insurance and no gas cost or maintenance. So, the savings can be pretty big

Google recently launched a similar to our app product, should we continue?
Hey everyone, a question:

We have launched our application around 4 months ago, but last week we've discovered that Google recently launched a very similar product. And now we are in doubt - should we continue with our app or should we start thinking about another idea? WDYT?

More details:

Our app - Plyvie - https://www.plyvie.com
Google's new app - Audience Connect - https://create.withgoogle.com/tools/audience-connect

Plyvie is a platform that helps to present interactively, you can upload your presentation, add polls, ask questions, etc., the audience can connect to a presentation with their devices. And Google launched an app with similar features and a similar idea - bring more engagement to the audience.

Some points that we've identified so far:
- Both apps solve the core problem

- Plyvie is not limited to Google Slides

- with Plyvie, you don't have to install anything and you can launch a presentation directly from a phone or tablet, not only from the laptop, you can make the presentation even without a projector

- Plyvie shows slide on the viewer's device and thus keep the user's focus on presentation constantly

- Plyvie has an audio stream and slides sync to support remote presentations

- Plyvie records a presentation in the background while a presenter is presenting and will allow to publish it to presenter's channel

Thanks!
Maybe handle it with a sidebar that lists all of the requests. Apple knows people are going to get flooded with these requests, they should have had a queuing sidebar to list all of the requests and that you can go through them one at a time.
I have used GNOME with HiDPI for two years on Wayland and it is great. Even Tk apps seem to support HiDPI these days.

However, this is all assuming that 2x scaling is fine for you, support for fractional scaling is not great yet.
We've unsuperlatived the title above.
I would love it if people felt confident in doing that. The problem is that a lot of people get caught in a dark place when they're backed into a corner and can't get themselves out. I don't know if it's ever happened to you personally but people can become accepting of a bad situation simply because they find it too difficult to find a better one - most people (IMO nearly all) can get into this sort of a rut and may need help to get themselves out.
I agree. Or at least it could have been worded better. "behavior over the years" sounds like scolding a child.

Either way, I think a lot of it is social posturing, as part of individual distancing from the transpired scandal. E.g. some of the friends/relatives of the signatories now view RMS strictly negatively, so they try their best to distance themselves (or, interpreting charitably, the corresponding GNU subprojects) to try to salvage some reputation.

TF eager mode has been a stable/supported thing for 10 days, since the release of 2.0. Before then it was available as opt-in behavior that once enabled meant all bets were off for if things would work or explode. So I think it's too early to answer your question. Maybe 2.0 bridges the gap to PyTorch in development speed. But maybe the momentum has already shifted to PyTorch.
Recently there was a discussion about Huawei MateBook X Pro, which also seems to be a great Linux notebook:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21170765

In that discussion, several other good Linux notebooks were also discussed, including System 76. But it was reported there that the quality is quite bad:

> but the quality is reportedly bad (flaky hardware, too-fast power drain, reflash bios to toggle discrete graphics (!), slow support) https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/review-system76-oryx-pr...

> Mine is in the System 76 repair shop right now for the third time. Extremely unsatisfied with Oryx Pro materials and build quality. Oh it's back for the third time because when they replaced the top case last time, they installed a defective touch pad. Never again.

I wonder if that has been improved, as I'm really interested in a high quality Linux notebook.

So why is a union different from people forming a separate company and contracting out their labor? Why ask for special provisions (obligating all employees to join and pay dues) if it is just a 'business association' like any other. And if that association is industry-wide as you said, doesn't that make it anti-free market?
Not a very big one, but at least it's something ( a start) to protect our market from Chinese dumping.

We should just force the same rules on them at once. Only import into Europe with 50% European partnerships, for China.

If they become more flexible, so should we. Instead of waiting more than 20 years currently.
Not if you use Wayland. GNOME with Wayland works fine with screens with different DPIs.
