Confidence means you aren't pushed around by the world; sensitivity means you willingly open yourself up and pay attention to the world around you, and take it into consideration. The difference is nuanced, but very important.

In some ways confidence empowers a person to be kinder and more considerate. Not that they will be automatically, but they have more opportunity to be. Someone who lacks true confidence is naturally on the defensive, always having to think about how to prop up their own standing. More often than not, people who come off as brash and pushy are actually doing so out of a deep insecurity that they're trying to satisfy.
They aren't a tech company.

Hm, interesting. Can you share specific examples? I reckon that they suffer heavily in the topics I mentioned before for obvious reasons.
It's a bit ironic that a page devoted to correcting a common orthographic error features a typo of its own: search for "Conjgate". (I would report it to the author, but don't see any contact information.)
Look even if you want to be obtuse and pretend its not bad that people got lured into jobs that couldn't possibly last, and may have uprooted families only to get laid off now, and have to uproot them again, even pretending that is no big deal, which it is, but let's pretend.

MAYBE you can feel some emotion for the investors whose money was essentially stolen, by a scam artist?

People have spent a good portion of their working life to put this product out there. It has flaws and it's not perfect on day one, sure. It might even get cancelled a year from now. None of that matters nor does it mean we need to make a mockery of their work. So much negativity around us these days. It doesn't have to be this way.
So like, what is the counterargument? Google keeps projects alive that drain resources for longer?

I guess I don't understand what people want here.
To be clear, Neumann's $1.7 billion payout is from SoftBank shareholders. There's nothing obviously criminal about SoftBank's bailout. But I agree SoftBank didn't have to do it. WeWork was ostensibly bankrupt and SoftBank could have dictated pretty much any terms they wanted.
Runs ... but not well. It may be different now but I knew an engineer on the Office for Mac team some years back and it did not sound like a pretty port. I have both a Mac and a Windows machine at work and Excel on the latter is lightning fast compared to the former.
FPS games have had this for a looong time. In Quake 3 it's called timenudge and you can have it set to a negative value which means that the client will predict the opponents movement before receiving the next packet from the server.

The CPMA mod then came up with even better adaptive prediction in their netcode.

Without some prediction opponent movement would be jerky depending on the other players ping. The downside is that sometimes shots don't register which are a clear hit on your screen and sometimes weird flick shots hit which are far off the target.
How does that differ from

$ ssh -R2345:localhost:80 user@example.com

And then going to example.com:2345 (if you want to e.g. forward HTTP)? I mean you need a remote node anyway for that to work?

The wonderful thing about caches is that they are invisible to the programmer; the designer can add bigger caches, more levels of caches, different configurations of shared/private/inclusive/exclusive caches... and it Just Works.

However, there are many machines, which instead of using caches, use programmer-visible “scratchpads”. There are many reasons for this, but two big reasons are performance-predictability (real-time systems) or to avoid the hw complexity of cache management.

In general though, scratchpads are hugely painful to program for and terrible for code portability.

The author is partly right. You shouldn't trust Microsoft. But the landscape has changed. Focusing too much on Microsoft as the sole, main rival of OSS and Linux keeps you tunnel visioning like it's the 90's. And back then Microsoft was huge and overbearing. Now there's many, many other threats to OSS and Linux, several of them bigger than Microsoft.

Google, Apple, Amazon, Facebook.

They're keen OSS contributors, where it doesn't matter for them and keen closed source proponents, where it does matter.
You can make the same argument with a member of the board or specific engineers or designers. Johnny Ive leaving apple could leave the apple design team to tribalism like the Apple II days.

It's trivial for a CEO to issue a puff piece as a marketing tool. Steve Jobs tried to advertise himself next to Ghandi. Assigning credit is a difficult game. Studies show people over and under assign credit. The best/most realistic crediting of work to successful performance ratio ended up with the team crediting to one another something like 115% over how much work was actually done.

Debating over blame and credit is mostly a waste of time, even though people fundamentally need positive feedback for good work and negative feedback for bad work. It's mostly used politically in big corps and that's a big void I try to stay away from.
I don't know, Google has failed at all kinds of products that other companies have achieved massive success with. This includes some really ubiquitous tools like a social network (Google+) or messaging apps (too many to list). I think at this point most people assume a failed project from Google has more to do with the company than the concept itself.
What google considers success is not the same as what others consider a success. $10m revenue is huge for a lot of startups.

For google it's just a distraction that needs to be culled.
Fair. I've always been lucky enough to live in places with great water, if occasionally astonishingly hard, but if I was in say Las Vegas I'd probably stick to bottled water
These are all good points.

Ultimately, I don't see it being solved anytime soon unless we figure out how to decentralize DNS and the new solution becomes mainstream.

At the end of the day, the internet is just a bunch of machines with IP addresses. DNS is just a layer on top of it that makes it easier for humans to type in a name to get to a machine.

Why do we even have registrars at all? Why do we have the ICANN? There's no way in hell that my domain name (which is essentially just a line in a database somewhere pointed at an IP address) actually costs any entity $10 a year to maintain the infrastructure for. It's all a giant grift, and the people in control have been straight up printing money for years now.

Why do we let these organizations have so much control over us? We are hackers. Let's come up with a decentralized solution and paint these assholes out of the picture already.
A job offer is an agreement for $x compensation for x hours worked.

Biggest down side for me, is .Net Core 3 had some dramatic breaks, it's better than 2 and before, but still been burdensome.

There's two decades of answers and examples out there, many of which don't work. Not to mention many third party libraries that do stuff that's now in the box.

Biggest gripe to me, is lack of in the box support for PEM files in the crypto library. There are others, Core 3 breaks DI for logging in the Startup is another big one.

In the end, it's decent... I'd still largely rather use Node, or if I need more performance Rust of even Go. I will say I don't hate it, it's just frustrating finding examples and answers.
I can understand how you might want this feature for all the non-techies that use slack nowadays. But give me a damn checkbox to disable it at least?? Whoever made this decision deserves a real life slap
Agree with all your points.

I call shenanigans on people who say the cost of food/eating out is similar in SF to other cities. Eating out in SF is much more expensive. While there is great food to be had there, there is just as much mediocre fare which you will still be charged an arm and a leg for. Also the lack of proper cooking space in a tiny apartment means that many will be tempted to eat out more often versus cooking for themselves.

Similarly, cost to run my vehicle is around ~$200 a month and provides me great freedom and flexibility to get around and take trips out of the city when I want to.

When comparing cost of housing, I notice people always compare the cost of a tiny apartment (usually with roommates) with the cost of a much nicer apartment/house to oneself in a LoC area. Rent a small studio or apartment with roommates and your rent cost in a LoC can get into the sub $300 range easily. I knew many people renting shared spaces for $100-150 while in college.

Live wherever you want (different strokes for different folks and all that) but I feel people in these discussions are often not being completely forthright in their comparisons.

I've crunched the numbers quite a few times, outside of a hotshot FAANG job it just doesn't make sense $$ wise compared to my salary/location now despite what many on HN insist. I'd have to downgrade my standard of living drastically for it to even begin to make sense.

The constant cancelling of products combined with the risk of having my Google account banned in one service and then locking me out from all others are the main reasons I don't even try out new Google services.

I have dumped windows completely after spending some time on windows 8 (fyi: system level developer, but... Well i did my share on aix, hpux, solaris, linux, vms too, but I did love windows... Before the age of manifests, putting com interfaces into kernel32.dll,...)

What troubles me THE most on linux is interoperability of applications, there is literally nothing replacing microsoft "office" (not a product Office) stack, it is not a problem for my expertise, but for ordinary John Doe (or lets call him "the manager"), Exchange, Outlook, Sharepoint, Lync (Skype for business) integrated into Office mesh... They have great product. This is the target that linux must pursue. But it is not there. Still struggling to reinvent hot water (systemd, dbus,...), as it is more fun. But not more usable. Anyway, i am satisfied with my shell...
You cant rely on Google for anything long term.
Setting up a mail server isn't difficult. It's about as easy as installing and configuring a web server, and just about as technical.

Email has been around for decades. The fact that Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, and many paid services have had one-click email addresses for twenty-plus years should demonstrate that it's not difficult. Businesses just don't want to make it easy for lay people to do it.

>extrapolated over hundreds of companies that have nothing to do with each other

What are you talking about? The hypothesis was extrapolated over hundreds of Google's products.
This should say more about treating software as a service than Google itself. Many companies have created then cancelled products, been bought out then had their products cancelled, or simply went out of business. We simply don't talk about it as much with other companies since they are either smaller or, in the case of larger companies, they were slower in transitioning to online services so products simply lost support rather than no longer being available.
>That only partly helps with cheating. Client side cheat software still has access to the internal game state and can modify rendering (so you see in the dark for example

Exactly, companies like "Artificial Software" (artificialaiming.net) have been selling aimbots for FPS for a decade or longer. I was curious back in 2009 and purchased access for a game in the Battlefield franchise.

It allowed me to have colored rectangles around all other players, my own team being green and the opposing team being red. You could see this rectangle through walls which would let you rack up kills and avoid getting ambushed. You could also auto-aim and tell it if you wanted the head or the torso, you could headshot people that were so far away you could not see a single pixel of their body. It also allowed you to start using your knife rapidly if an enemy got within a certain proximity of you.

It would even allow you to spawn in on enemy team memebers instead of your own team on maps that allowed you to spawn on team members AND it would change your name on non-hardcore servers to appear to appear as an ally to the enemy so you could spawn on one and casually follow them around, them thinking you were on their team, and just knife or headshot them when you wanted or follow them to a group of them and det pack/grenade/spray and pray and kill a bunch of them.

A quick look at their site and they still have many bots that still allow many of these features (and others like radar hacks, no recoil, no bullet spread etc) for various titles because all of this is still on the client side.

SoftBank is trying to obtain a $2.8B loan for turning around WeWork [1]. Sunk cost fallacy at scale. SoftBank should've burned WeWork and Neumann's comp to the ground, while still paying out severance to the rank and file ("shoot the hostage").

Instead, SoftBank looks incompetent, Son looks incompetent, Neumann walks away a billionaire for delivering nothing of value, and layoffs are still happening. They're doubling down on financially destructive decisions. This is what happens when you have more money and vanity than courage.

From his chart:

- MSFT revenue/share price @ 2014: 86.8 / 37.1

- MSFT revenue/share price @ 2019: 125.8 / 133.52

-> revenue growth: 44.93% / price growth: 259.89%

So either MSFT was significantly under-priced in 2014 or it's over-priced right now.

They do have hundreds ms of latency, the fact that you don't they they do means that you didn't notice hundreds ms of latency for your whole life.

Yes, that is another reason I prefer local hardware too. But Google can't sell enterprise priced cloud services with the console in your house (yet).
> When the trip ends, the user will be asked if everything is okay and be able to report a safety incident and submit the audio recording to Uber with a few taps

This sounds pretty similar to what's happening in the cabs. The recording stays offline in your phone unless someone feels that it's the sort of thing that should be uploaded to Uber.
I understand the cynicism of this community to Stadia but implore you all to think a little broader.

Stadia is different, with this product Google is trying something really innovative. For one, the fact that Stadia actually costs money should be a signal of Google's long term ambition here. Yes, Fiber also cost money but was bogged down by the hell that is infrastructure development.

Stadia will require a substantial engineering effort from Google to make this work. The latency and network requirements are a great test to gauge network requirements as we move into 5g, AR, and self driving cars.

Gaming is huge and if Google can be the first to provide (viable) steaming as a service they can really threaten some of the incumbents like Twitch, Sony, Microsoft, etc.

Obviously Google doesn't have the best track record here but I'm excited to see them tackle this challenge.
This isn't entirely true for most games, clients run world simulation for prediction and sometimes can make authoritative changes. Almost no multiplayer games are complete dumb terminals ,you'd end up with the same latency issues that Stadia has.

Complex physics with high object counts can be difficult because synchronizing a lot of state is bandwidth intensive. Most games with lots of moving objects (RTS for example) use deterministic lockstep so only inputs need to be transferred, even if there is an authoritative server.
Phishing is difficult to combat effectively. Part of the problem is technological in that we never adopted a way of verifying senders are who they claim to be, but a large part of it is that humans are really good at fooling other humans, at least enough of the time to cause trouble.

Ironically, it is the technical problem of verification that makes it difficult to run (not setup) a mailserver: no one wants to trust it.

Yup, but I think the problem stems from symlinks being relatively uncommon in NTFS compared to nix filesystems - it just wasn't a priority for the original .NET designers who were mostly targeting Windows. https://blogs.windows.com/windowsdeveloper/2016/12/02/symlin...
Agreed. Prices are way higher in SF for eating out. I don't mind if the place is legitimately better but even the crap and mediocre places will charge a ton.
This is correct.

On the client-side, MS is not worried much about Linux desktop and hence will not invest in office for Linux.

On the server-side, Linux is a platform of choice for new projects (I would say Kubernetes and containers but those are based on Linux) and hence windows server moved to a more legacy state.

In this case, if Microsoft wants to be relevant for future projects, it must embrace Linux.

However, since there is no money in Linux as an OS, Microsoft is in the process of becoming a hardware company due to azure. And as such, it would like to commoditize its supplement which is the OS.
When it comes to things in Google's wheelhouse, at least. Their entire advertising platform is based on categorizing ads and where they're supposed to display. This is an entirely different ball of wax than trying to determine if the text of an ad is true or false, and that's before we get into the "true but misleading in context" quagmire.

Besides, we have precedent here. Have a look at their policies surrounding what's allowed in health ads[1], they're pretty extensive, objective, and granular.

Sorry, but I don't see it as a good enough reason for this very negative response.

I do agree that it speaks volumes how Google's PR team isn't doing a good job recently, though.
What's your point? Just like "front end development" implies "web development" to most people, "desktop development" implies "development that is not web, Android, or iOS".
If they don't use it to collect personal info (for advertisement purpose) or display ads they're going to close it, as simple as that. All their battle tested products are doing that, it's almost as if their features were side effects.

They've done a lot with Electron as well... Github now being a subsidiary of MS. VS Code is really nice, and Teams is decent. I'd be surprised if we don't see new cross platform Office releases based on the Web versions wrapped in Electron in the next couple years.
