Hopefully you'd think they compared those costs and still found the in-house option would be cheaper in the long run. Who knows, though, or who knows how accurate their estimates were.
FWIW I don't think there's necessarily any link between his account getting suspended and the youtube client. Google suspends accounts for all kinds of weird reasons.

It seems really weird to me to assume that this is a troll, the other issues created by the user over a couple of weeks seem legit. I think this is just some slightly confused person trying to figure out why their account was suspended.

I get lots of legit bug reports from customers with strange inconsistencies like this mixed in, they definitely aren't trolling.
This makes me wonder, though.

I wonder if you went back to the very earliest days of the WWW, did everyone see it as a toy? Or were there already people (those developing it, perhaps) who saw that it had awesome non-toy potential?

I suspect people brand new tech as "toys" when they're not, and I bet there's also developers that take their toys and call them products :)

Maybe the solution is to completely discard the "toy" / "non-toy" dichotomy. It seems like it just muddies the discussion when the important thing is to evaluate the actual merits of the product/technology in question.
This reminds me of some not-well-formed thoughts that have been bouncing around the back of my head for a while.

They start out something like this: Police should not be a special class in society. They should not have any right not accorded to the general population.

Exploring that leads to thoughts like, "I can't just walk into my neighbor's house without their permission. Neither should police." and "I can't shoot somebody and walk away without consequence because of some emblem on my shirt. Neither should police." "If any action would lead to a particular consequence for regular people, it should lead to the same consequence for police." What's the consequence of systematically recording video of people walking down the street? Should it matter if it's done by a homeowner, a school administrator, or a police officer?

Pondering further, I come up with, "Police should be able to enter my house with a properly-served warrant. Should the general populace be able to do the same?" or "Police should be able to shoot suspects holding hostages in a blundered bank robbery. Where is that line for regular citizens? We really don't want that, do we?" Imagine if, for example, somebody were to embed themselves in a clock tower at a university and start shooting away. Campus security doesn't have any way to intervene. There is no SWAT team in the region. What if your friendly neighborhood deer-hunter takes it upon themselves to decide who the culprit is and use their own scoped rifle to return fire? Do they have the same legal protections as a police officer doing the same?

In the context of this thread: Diplomats can send encrypted communications. All people should have the same right. Journalists, by virtue of being people, should have that right. They have the right because they are people, not because they are journalists. Same for any other privilege.
Maybe the YKK party
I'm sure the authors will not use this paper in their grant proposals or on their resumes: "Oh, no, don't count that paper, we were just lucky on that one."

More seriously: without reading the work more in depth, this seems to show that luck is sufficient to have the current distribution, not that it's necessary.

Anecdotally, there sure seem to be people out there that are 10x or 100x as productive, not by doing the same tasks faster but by identifying a different set of tasks that accomplish the same thing, or by imagining new possibilities that others couldn't. Clearly, some luck is involved in that, but so is some skill, and this paper seems to exclude that as a possibility.
They are different but certainly Jira is tracking your individual productivity and reporting to leadership.
Then switch or don't upgrade. For all the bash purist you're gonna need this:

Catalina from my pov:
1) more ephemeral keys in Keychains (take a look)
2) more latent Task Manager - way more buggy
3) more Cloud dependent :(
4) more shitty code on top of beautiful hardware

I agree with the author 100%.

Why is it better to be locked into your own company’s IT department rather than AWS? I would argue AWS gives a better ROI than 95% of corporate IT departments, and generally less hostile to boot.
Honestly, it makes me wonder if that whole program was really just part of their negotiation for the (recently announced) partnership with Microsoft to integrate Android and Windows. I can imagine them playing hard ball and telling MS that if they don't team up then their alternative will be to build out an entirely new OS based on this. Which honestly would have been quite an interesting play.
Don't believe I said anything regarding peer review.
I'm sure it does because most games didn't update to 64-bit. I still fail to see how that warrants an article like that. If you know the games won't work and you still want to play them, don't upgrade. It's not that hard.
It does seem rocky when reading that retrospective.

Yes but it gives you a nice guarantee that you will get a (handled) error at parse time, every time. In JS etc. you may never notice until you maybe render that one prop 4 levels deep under a certain UI combination and its a demo for your client.

Frankly, that's SOP on Hacker News. Half the people are commenting on something they haven't read, and the other half are complaining that news from reputable sources isn't free and/or complain that they can't read it with NoScript in Lynx on Arch Linux.

Don't worry, that text will very likely impact many people, and nearly none of them will be aware enough of it to tell you what they thought.

The worst thing is that, in a cold rational way the optimum strategy for both the company and the employee is hiring with little evidence, and firing relatively quickly. But it's only good if everybody does it, and nobody is actually able to do it.
More likely about trust/security/privacy issues.
Agreed. I think we don't need real-time chat as much as we think. At not as the main mode of communication.

Twist seems like a good alternative.
If I remember correctly, in Southern California, some intersections have an additional left-turn arrow which flashes yellow, indicating that you may make the left turn if there is no oncoming traffic.

It's a separate light to make the flashing-yellow to solid-yellow transition clearer.
German army surplus gear is a great deal. I have a couple gore-tex raincoats and some trousers that I've worn for at least ten years now, hiking, cutting wood and doing my outside chores. Less than $100, all told.

I see this book recommended often and I like Petzold's writing. I think this book is excellent introductory book.

However, I bought this book in 2013 and was disappointed. I kept the book in the hopes that my high school and college aged kids might get something out of it. This is a book appropriate for someone new to programming. I don't consider this a book for computer scientists that already have a university degree, since it provides only a very basic introduction to Boolean algebra, logic gates, computer arithmetic. If you know what a NAND gate is and what a XOR instruction does you don't need this book.

For the practicing professional or a serious CS student interested in bits and bytes I might recommend Hackers Delight, Second Edition by Hennry S. Warren Jr.
does that account for the zero capex?
Your question presupposes that folks of Chinese descent in Canada are immigrants. There's been a strong Chinese community in the area since before 1900. As a comparison, my great-great grandparents emigrated from Italy in the 1920s. It's quite typical for Canadians to retain their cultural identity and ancestral language post-immigration; the notable exception being indigenous peoples who were forced to assimilate. Where my family immigrated to the US and abandoned our language, I later immigrated to Canada, I was shocked to discover an Italian community where folks are still raising their kids to speak Italian after generations.
I like to point out that most devices don't use hybris on postmarketOS
Plenty of people using VPN for: pirating, get an IP from a foreign country to bypass some content limitation etc., so they still need one, secure or not.
>legitimately entitled

No, they are not. This isn't an upgrade to their existing OS like a patch release. This is a new OS completely and developers were all warned years in advance that Catalina would drop 32-bit support. This is not a downgrade in the slightest.

>but will later

I have a Mac Mini from 2005 that still runs MacOS Leopard just as well as the day I bought it. I can't install all the latest, greatest software on it and I can't even access every website anymore (TLS updates and all that) but it still functions as good, if not better, than it did when I first bought it and runs all the software that's still installed on it.

No MacOS update has ever been forced or mandatory. Ever.

The customer is not always right but I'm pretty sure offering an OS upgrade is doing right by the customer considering it doesn't cost anything and, for most people, adds far more than it takes away and is, again, optional.
Great timing.
That requires evidence that people drive more safely in their ticket-avoidance driving, vs accelerating through greens to beat the yellow, or slamming brakes on yellow to cause rear-end collisions.
This isn't as bad as the fact that you have no idea where a passenger is going until you get to their location.

I recently moved to New Jersey a too up driving to help ends meet.

There are times where you drive 10 miles to pick a passenger and drop them a block (.5 miles) away from their location.

Even worse is the integrated Google app that consistently routes you through tolls enroute to picking passengers even though you don't get reimbursed for that.

Lyft is a cesspit for bottomfeeders and unfortunately I'm one.

Uber on the other hand isn't taking on new drivers since their ipo.

(If you're a Lyft Dev here please consider giving us the option too filter toll preferences when we're on our way to pick up passengers)
Nobody is forcing people to upgrade - you’re free to stick with an older version of any OS, although possibly at the cost of the OS going out of support from the vendor. Why such a decision seems to lead to these long winded opinion pieces on the internet is weird - don’t these authors have something better to do than opine about how what they want doesn’t line up exactly with what some vendor is giving them for free?
Well that's exactly the issue, HE often doesn't have peering with local monopolies, or at best only a 10G link, because those monopolies don't even care.
> >Aren't they confident that the union isn't going to come in and say, "Yeah, actually you guys are pretty good, carry on?" If not, why not?

> Because the point of a union isn't to do what's fair but to extract maximum benefits for the union. What do they have to lose by NOT pushing for every single possible benefit?

By this logic every union pushes for every possible benefit. That doesn't seem to be the reality though (at least in the cases I've read, there are often concessions from both sides of th bargaining table).
WeWork is not a tech company, merely a Silicon Valley company.

Twitter and Snapchat value doesn't come from their tech, but from their user base.

When you know those differences, you indeed might be better at picking horses.
My intention is to express my dissatisfaction with systemd, not to get technical support, so I'm not going to list them here. Nothing good can come from doing so. But I will say that in terms of actual pain points, the biggest ones have been around logging.

However, technical headaches aren't my largest objection -- my largest objection is that its getting increasingly obvious that as we move into the future and more applications rely on systemd-specific facilities, it's going to get more and more difficult to operate a Linux system without it.
200,000 servers isn't actually that many. 200,000 c5.xlarge's at on demand rates (which nobody with 200,000 servers pays) will cost you about $300 million a year. So they are realizing savings at about an order of magnitude higher than you'd expect cost wise.

I used to work in banking... their compute needs are actually quite basic.

I think what we're really seeing here is some creative accounting around how operations and costs are accounted for. They've got to be talking about costs of managing and operating their cloud as well, and most of those costs would be in terms of training & workforce retooling.
I know apple isn't the company it used to be and with all the FUD going around I was reluctant to install the latest version but it works perfectly. This is article of +3000 words, don't take the time to write this and then complain about having to click a number of popups.
That's fine, though. There's nothing that says that you can't stay on the version of the OS that you're using until you decide not to.

That decision, though, comes with the consequence that you likely won't be able to run new software. If you're not worried about new software and don't want to be until the point comes where you need new software, the updates have always been optional.

I didn't downvote but for a company-wide tool like that, I'd prefer a solution with a more established legal presence somewhere. Telegram seems more targeted at the consumer space.
That seems like the kind of thing that should be configured by default on servers in the EU.
What about GCS? They say cross-AZ is free, and cross-region is the same 10c/GB. Is it really so, or like with AWS?
I don't know anything about John Zerzan but from his Wikipedia page he sounds like someone who applies Marxist theory to primitive vs modern societies instead of proles vs the bourgeoisie.

The feminist philosophy of Clinton and the primitivist ecophilosophy (?) of Zerzan share at their core the same ideas as Marx: they see the world as a struggle between innocent oppressed groups and evil oppressor groups, with everyone being categorisable into one of those two categories and in which world progress inevitably builds to an overthrow of the oppressors leading to a kind of universal peace.

Zerzan uses the same terminology as Marx even, that of alienation. Feminists don't use that rather archaic word, but they do talk a lot about discrimination, oppression, patriarchy (instead of bourgeoisie) and so on. The phrase "the future is female" expresses the same sentiment as Marx when he predicted the inevitable victory of the working classes over their oppressors.
Interesting how they found posting a cop more cost-effective than posting a sign reminding people to turn on signals.

The suicide rate among LGBTQ is also some outrageous multiple higher than average and in the not to distant past that was also a bona fide psychological diagnosis. You see the intrinsic problem with codifying anything out of the ordinary as a "disorder"?
I don't really think it's all that useful to think of even individual humans as rational or irrational, but in any case:

Governments (much like cities, markets, neighborhoods, societies, companies, social networks, "the media", political parties, academia, unions, religions, etc.) are "run by humans" somewhat like flocks are run by birds.

Yes, studying the nature of individual birds can teach you a little bit about flocks, but you've zoomed out to a level where it's more useful to talk about systems and dynamics. Can't see the forest for the trees, as they say.
No, it's data.

Also not in a way that is written down in a paper and typed later.

Also not in a way that prevents your user from using your software.
Does someone know how this works with the group crypto? Once someone left the group, shouldn't all group members' devices reject all messages from that contact (who is now a non-member)?
Presumably legislators have seen unions as providing a beneficial counterbalance to corporations, and decided to enact this requirement to ensure that stewards don't get discriminated against because their union work necessarily means they have to interact with other employees outside of actual work tasks.

You know, the kind of thing that lawmakers can do when they're not completely owned by corporate donors and lobbyists.

In addition, even if it is inside an enclosure, it has to be able to withstand the elements (including extremes of temperature and humidity), and be able to have virtually 100% availability outside of power-loss situations.
Your question tickled something really interesting for me. Here's a brief timeline from my own life:

1991 - I am 8 years old and am learning to program BASIC on a Vic-20

1992 - My family gets an XT-class machine (640kB of RAM!)

1993 - NCSA Mosaic is released.

1994 - An Internet Cafe opens in my small town of 35,000. Using library books, I manage to find cool software to download onto 5 1/4" floppies and bring home.

1995 - I get my first C compiler (Power C) and start programming my own games (still on my XT). I start spending time at a local LAN gaming place, wishing for a better computer.

1997 - my family gets a Pentium 133, dial-up Internet, and shortly thereafter I discover Linux. I also build a 386 from parts that I scrounge up.

1999 - I get a job working at the LAN shop as a tech. The company has shifted to being a PC Hardware and repair shop.

2000 - I get 1.5mbit DSL at home, build my own Celeron 433, and dive way deeper into programming.

Crypto-currency first showed up around, what, 2010 or so? In those 9 years, I don't think there's been anywhere near the kind of (pardon the pun) quantum leap we had technology- and utility-wise in the 90s.

You _absolutely_ should have an awareness of culture and history in order to offer meaningful criticism.

Flip it around with gun control.. The rest of the world by-and-large does not agree with American gun policy. But how seriously are Americans going to take the criticism of people who don't have an understanding of American revolutionary history? If you actually care about effecting change you definitely need to understand the context.
It's more likely that they have bins of stuff, and the pickers just grab whatever they grab without regard for first/last in/out.
Single data point here. As someone else already replied, if I'd grown up in the 2000's instead of then 80's, I'd probably have a diagnosis of autism, to some degree at least. I believe I'm somewhere on the spectrum.

I'm an introvert, I'm often quite awkward socially, and frequently just don't "get" other people's way of thought that seem to be obvious to everyone else; if it's not "logical" to me, I just don't understand it. My wife has said I might be autistic numerous times, and family members have suggested it a few times too.

I can only assume this is due to a genetic mutation. If a treatment was available to change this, I would gladly take it - I loathe feeling so alien and alone.
I also couldn't get into it but I can't really explain why. FWIW, the tool I use to cover the type of stuff Notion does is Zenkit. I really like Zenkit. I'm not sure if it has a ton of fancy features, but I don't need fancy. It's easy enough to use and it's exactly what I want. I've used Asana as well and I enjoyed that. But for whatever reason I like Zenkit.
I think you’re being downvoted because what you state is contrary to what most people have heard: i.e. that inventory for the same SKU from different sellers is in fact commingled. You might want to provide some citations if you want to convince people otherwise.
Sure. But voters aren't rational. We've just gone through that with economics - the homo economicus is bull - and I suppose we need to repeat that for the ultrarational libertarian crowd.

This is not how this works. This is not how any of it works. Humans are vulnerable to emotions. To lies they want to believe. To subtle influence just outside their daily cognition. To cheap dopamine hits from cheesy entertainment.

Believing that rational voters and some sort of speech attribution system will help solve all ills is beyond naive.
That sounds like right-wing union-busting propaganda to me. Even if it isn't, why should I care if union representation makes management's job harder? I'm not management.
The firefox extension is not officially supported, because it is still very spotty to use. Its missing APIs and was not worth the effort for now to support it with a limited feature set.
