I am confident that the reason I gave is an accurate answer to the question I gave it in response to, for at least a very large share of sellers. Note that you can do something for a given reason regardless of whether that reason is true.

However, the fact that it's possible to run a business doing nothing but selling things on Amazon that you buy on eBay when an order comes in strongly suggests that the customers really are on Amazon and not on eBay.
> "Scrum is meant to help estimate based on real work by developer."

Sure, but the problem is that, aside from one job, I've never seen any organization that actually does that. Instead, agile/scrum is used as a micromanagement tool and developers get hammered if they don't close their Jira tickets in a timely fashion. It's an total perversion of what agile was intended to be.
With modern congestion control oversubscribed connections can run smooth as butter for most users.

Despite this essentially no ISPs use them. I have coworkers, friends, and family members who can't reliably video-call on their '300mbps down / 15mbps up' cable connections because upload is oversubscribed 50 to 1 and one person on their drop has dropbox uploading.

Any sort of modern congestion control would fix this instantly, give everyone a better experience.

But modern ISPs refuse to consider it.

I once took a informal survey of why at a network operators meetup.

The answer was universal, article titles like this mean that they would rather everyone have bad service all the time than deal with any potential bad publicity.

I really hate Google as a company, but this isn't worth complaining about until they actively refuse to fix problems. It's especially not worth punishing Google for being transparent about the algorithm so external researchers can find flaws rather than hiding it.

I do the same thing. I have a feeling a lot of engineers are in this same trap. The problem is that prolonged periods of just going home and watching tv after work is going to lead to an increase in social anxiety for many people. Which then leads to even more isolation.

Ideally I envision myself going to the gym, going to a meetup, playing board games, etc, but I just never seem to bring myself around to doing it.
Yes, I understand, fair point.
"Simple hack"s may work in "tech". I am becoming increasingly convinced that the people that brought us WeWork and Juicero do not believe themselves to be operating under the same rules as the rest of the world.

When we're talking heavy industry, for example, those support contracts are typically negotiated on an individual basis, and you don't just "push an SLA"; you wait for contract renegotiation to come up in, say, 5-10 years, and then you get a chance to alter the terms of the agreement. Which is a process that will typically involve weeks or months of negotiations, with heavy involvement from the legal and financial folks from both parties.

SEEKING WORK | Toronto, ON | Remote Only

Full-stack developer, well-versed in React/Redux/Apollo/GraphQL, Python, Django & DRF, Elixir, Postgres, Redis, RabbitMQ, InfluxDB.

I'm a YC founder currently working on my own startup, but I'm available for work. I've worked exclusively with other YC startups (i.e. Luma, Instacart, Plato, Validere, etc.), usually at the early-stage, providing CTO-level guidance and leadership, managing entire projects to meet tight deadlines within the chaos that is a startup. I thrive in environments where I can provide mentorship to other engineers.

I have some time available to help out with any interesting projects you might need help with.

Interesting. How does that work for Deimos specifically? I've read that landing on Mars takes less delta-V than the Moon because you can aerobrake, but that doesn't apply to Deimos. Is that because of its nearly nonexistent gravity, or is there some other factor?

#2 is what would transform this from a nice niche tool, to something very valuable. In the ecommerce space, tracking competitor pricing is a great example of this type of thing. I can also see use casese for recipe's, finance, healthcare, you name it. Those b2b use cases are worth real money.

Just curious, in your experimentation, have you found it necessary to train a new model for each "category"? Or have you found a way to generalize it?

>> If this continues I'll give it 10-20 years before there's a major decoupling even between the US and Europe.

Read Robert Kaplan’s book on this topic of decoupling (Marco polos world). In many ways it’s already happening.

Regards to the Gaia effort, I’ve worked with a number of Europe based tech companies in and I find no lack of skills or innovation relative to the US. In fact, I’d say when you combine London, Dublin, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Oslo, Paris, Frankfurt, Berlin and many other markets in Europe, the tech world is more widely distributed and as innovative if not more than the US market. A big part of this reason is that you have many small teams working across borders and cultures. Europe is not just the EU. For example, Norway, while it mirrors EU policy is still separate. Brexit could further diversify Europe from a regulatory landscape. What I see in the end is a place where cooperation, integration and small team competition is healthy and good for the overall marketplace. Could a Gaia effort make that better? I have my doubts... but why not give it a go? What’s wrong with having another approach added to the mix? That’s not to say there won’t be a reason for google, Microsoft and amazon in Europe... they’ve made massive investments there already and probably will continue to do so.

As for a decoupling, I think it is happening but I don’t think it’s for the worse. The worlds order is reshaping and I think while there always will be a friendly Atlantic partnership, it won’t necessarily need to be supported by traditional alliances like NATO.
I'm self-employed and work as freelancer. We negotiate my hourly rate, not how many hours I will work. I've never sacrificed any income to do this, because I've been doing this since long before I became a freelancer, and I make way more now than I did then. I have once refused an otherwise very interesting job because they refused to accept a 4-day work week. Their loss.
> Back in a day we had Subversion, Mercurial, Bazaar, some others.

I don’t agree bazaar was a UX panacea over git, and it was not just “not by much” slower. Subversion was a piece of shit full stop (especially if you had the misfortune of using the original bdb impl), bested in this regard only by VSS. I think slower “not by much” is the understatement of the century for a repo of any substantial size for all but mercurial on your list.

You don’t even mention perforce, leading me to think most of your experience is skewed by the niche of small open source projects.

Mercurial was a contender... great windows support too. I think it was less kernel that killed it and more github.
Scaling GraphQL at PayPal
The key point is that it's part of an active and specific law enforcement investigation. This would NOT apply to full-spectrum, dragnet surveillance/copying of the performance art I call my life, especially when there's not even the suspicion of me being involved with anything more devious than questioning the existence of the GPL.
It's important to note however that the main reason why Git became mainstream is because of GitHub.

And GitHub chose Git because of two reasons:

1. It was affiliated with Linus Torvalds.

2. It had a catchy name.

As far as I remember Mercurial had a much better UX.

Compared to Mercurial, Git is over-complicated and a lot of the commands don't make sense (e.g. 'git checkout -b mybranchname' to make a new branch WTF?). In a way, it shows how superficial we are as a society; even among software developers.

I guess it depends on how you define success. If I made a company was used by the entire world at some point, I'd probably be pretty proud and consider it a success even if it failed.

My second point would be to say, is a business only successful if it always makes profits? How many years does it need to be in business to be a success? If I made a company that has a good run for 20 years then tanked, was it a success. Does it need to be run by my grandkids before it's a success?

oso | Software Engineer | New York City (NYC) - Onsite | https://www.osohq.com/

oso (backed by Sequoia) makes backend infrastructure security not terrible for developers and ops. We provide a normalized and consistent interface to core security controls, like authentication and encryption, and we do so in a way that’s invisible to developers and simple for ops. We are hiring small number of sharp engineers who want to get involved on the ground floor and who have some combination of experience in and appetite for taking on these kinds of problems:

1. Building an elegant experience for a highly technical end-user, e.g., making it easy and intuitive for an ops engineer to get up and running in <5 mins
2. Low-level distributed systems, e.g., building lightweight proxies that manage requests asynchronously and deal with things like caching and network failures
3. Running an on-path production service, e.g., building a scalable and resilient service layer across multiple regions and cloud providers

We are building the product in Rust, which we think is both a good design choice for our use case and a fun choice for the team. By virtue of our stage, the engineers who join now will not only have a disproportionately large impact on the product, but also on the culture and future of the company. Given the importance of these team members and magnitude of their contribution, they will get a meaningful equity position.

Founding team: Graham Neray (early employee and Chief of Staff at MongoDB) and Sam Scott (PhD in Cryptography).

A year after 20k Googlers walked off the job, they’re madder than ever
The issue is the focus on masculinity at all, let alone whatever toxic masculinity is.[0] The way psychological issues are linked to masculinity is disingenuous as the deeper cause of the issues isn't masculinity but the inability to self-actualize in whatever environment the man is in, and this is more closely related to how the worth of men is evaluated by society. This value can be attached to masculine qualities or not, it doesn't matter.

So talking about masculinity and "subverting" it is pointless because as a man at the end of the day you are still left without opportunities or companionship because of how other people are evaluating you.

[0] I only ever hear toxic masculinity brought up by feminists, can you really show it has some attachment to the men's rights movement?
How will people be compensated relative to their work value?
I work remotely as well and I observe that a lot of people are available outside their regular working hours. I think remote work is part of the problem: the additional blurring between work and life will askew your work life balance.

Pager duty can burn you out, but it really depends on how much you get paged and how many people are on rotation.
Sometimes they should be. Consider CORS for example; Firefox will refuse to load some resources it's been instructed to load, and there's no way to make it load them without breaking other things, but this is completely uncontroversial. Enforcing security boundaries is a reasonable thing for a program to do.

Sorry to hear all this, but glad it seems to be improving now.

I had a similar issue (and like you I was engaged in serious endurance training). I would also go to sleep early, wake up at 4AM without an alarm and knock out a 2 hour run. I ended up with pityriasis rosea (which is kind of a medical mystery in terms of cause but linked to viruses), and thereafter some sleep/hormone disruptions.

In addition to what you are currently doing to address the sleep issue, consider testing your microbiome. Often bacterial infections and viruses change the makeup of the microbiome which also has significant negative influences on hormone production/regulation. In my case gut health helped break the negative feedback loop.
My father brought me one of these when he worked at TI, along with my first computer, a TI 99/4A. I might even still have them in storage.
According to the Kickstarter:

"From the very inception, we had a vision to fix a lot of the issues with hardware, starting by getting Mono (the open-source runtime that powers Xamarin) running on a microcontroller in order to bring a modern runtime to the class of computing that powers real IoT."

Which would seem to indicate it runs Mono.

Note that Rust intentionally lacks some features that would be useful for Firefox development (e.g. developing for the DOM involves object inheritance which isn’t present in Rust), so it’s not like it’s designed to solve exactly their problems and nobody else’s.
It's not that I don't know what work I'm doing, it's that I don't know how to give it a unique name.

Sometimes, I try a few different approaches to make something work. Each of these attempts is a different branch--I might need to revisit it, or pull stuff out of it. Good luck staring at a branch name and working out if it's landloop or landloop2 that had the most working version of the code.
>>> the US has been shown to be willing to use its economic leverage for political ends over the recent few years

> The entity list program against Chinese companies, the pressure on Europe to reject Huawei infrastructure (and accompanying threats in particular when it comes to natsec data sharing)

A couple points 1) political ends aren't necessarily bad ends, and 2) it's hard for me to view much of the Huawei stuff as pursuit of a "short-term or one sided" goal, given there are no American competitors for much of the Huawei equipment at issue.
I see this time and time again here on HN. If your livelihood is dependent on another persons platform you are in a very dangerous position. At any moment the terms of use could be changed or they could decide they want to sell the same business you are selling and you are out of luck. In this instance this is a crappy deal and I don't like it and people will buy from other markets.
I've had bad neighbors before. Did the cops issue a noise violation? Usually they don't, in my experience; you just end up with a pissed off neighbor and the cops tired of coming out there. Then you still have loud, annoying neighbors and they're even less friendly than they were before.

I'm not really saying baking cookies and sucking up to your neighbors - that's pretty negative way to characterize my 'treat people with respect and try to be friends before you ask for a favor.'

Seems like you are saying you did just that, and it didn't work out. That sucks. You went through the exact process I'm advocating. It doesn't mean that rather than talk to your neighbors you should just call the cops the next time a dog is barking, though.

". . . unlike every single horror I've ever witnessed when looking closer at SCM products, git actually has a simple design, with stable and reasonably well-documented data structures. In fact, I'm a huge proponent of designing your code around the data, rather than the other way around, and I think it's one of the reasons git has been fairly successful. . . .

"I will, in fact, claim that the difference between a bad programmer and a good one is whether he considers his code or his data structures more important. Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships."
