Well it's basically always possible to claim that society has some hidden variable, but I'll bite. As a woman, if you want children/family you need to secure at least a certain baseline of living quality and stability before the age of 35 and realistically much earlier. This alone dramatically changes the timeline and priorities of women.
This isn't our standard for all channels, but we do have a channel dedicated to this approach that's meant to contain large direction decisions that are soliciting team opinions. We've also enforced keeping that opening message to a minimum (sort of like a title).

I don't know how I'd feel about all channels being this way (since visibility and notification control are much weaker in this format) but for time limited discussions that may warrant revisiting it's quite helpful.

> having a private credit card is like shaving with a straight razor - it's awesome if you can handle it without hurting yourself, but most people can't and are smart enough to not even try.

as someone who treats a credit card like a charge card (pay it off in full every month, without exception), I don't really understand this mentality. imo, managing a debit card is way harder. I have to ensure that I have enough money in my checking account every time I make a purchase. it feels like inevitably my payday will line up in such a way that I overdraft on a purchase I could have easily afforded by the end of the month.
We currently provide integrations with AWS (S3 and Batch) and it is easy to extend Metaflow to work with other cloud providers. https://docs.metaflow.org/internals-of-metaflow/technical-ov...

For large (mature) enterprises, I believe at this point it's safe to expect some level of hybrid cloud architecture. I also agree it would be very difficult/impossible to support this for "realtime" indexing.
The news is bipolar. On occasion they “want to seek the truth”. At other times they “want to do what’s right”.

Those two things often diverge. The “what’s right” has a lot of latitude and is open to the interpretation of the reporter and editor it also may hide the truth.

And also there is “agency”. Some reporters want to be “agents of change”. That’s not their job. It’s not their job to make nuclear uncool and put Jane Fonda front and center. If they had looked at the issue critically and scientifically we might not be in the pickle we’re in with regard to energy production.
Almost every day for years and years, since the 90s. Someone here mentioned it as a kind of shibboleth and I hope this information gets to the right kind of people but doesn't attract too much attention. There are just too few useful signals left in tech.

By 'reap the benefits' did you mean 'extort you based on your brand value'? Sure, there are laws now that prevent domain name squatting, and most platforms would give your brand to you anyway (provided you are big enough). But why go thru expensive hassle when you can solve this proactively?

All companies do that by registering their trademarks. I don't see how this is different.

Interestingly, for my family's n=1 case, we have Alexa and Google Home Mini sitting side by side and Google usually has better answers. Maybe Alexa as a standalone device has more market share, but Google has the advantage of bundling "OK Google" into every Android phone.
Ars Technica cant get over using Elon to sell Articles
I wouldn't reply in that way in a workplace, they're exaggerated to illustrate the trolling nature of the questions. Picking arbitrary things and demanding that someone explain them to you is what narcissistic parents and horrible film drill sergeants do - what they are doing is power-tripping and keeping you uncomfortable.

It looks polite because they aren't using swear words, but you can tell there's something up when the original commenters wants to go and give this advice "in private" "for your own good". That's not right. Private is for "your work is all over the place and you are distracted, is there anything I can help with?". It's not for "SSHD handles login failures much more sanely than BLUB". There's nothing about that which needs to be critical or secretive.

Giving well-meaning advice would be something like "Many times when I brought in new tools turned to regret when other people had to deal with them during outages, and when I see BLUB used instead of SSHD it makes me nervous. All N people will have to take time to learn it to integrate it properly with the team, so I strongly recommend unexciting and familiar tools by default; but individual situations are unique and I don't know BLUB well - what is its strength, and does it add enough that we might consider moving everything to it?"

That is - advise what to do ("use unexciting tools"), explain why (backstory with consequences of not following advice in the past), explain who it affects (coworkers in stressful times), share less-obvious concerns (cost of everyone having to learn it), and be open to new information (maybe their plan can add a lot of value).

> and we'd never let a novice with that attitude get far enough to affect things.

A child would never have the power to talk back to power-tripping adult, but an equal adult would. "I want to stop you and interrogate you about some random thing I've noticed without explaining why I want to do that", "Well you can't, I'm busy. Stop power playing and trying to imply you know things and making me beg for them; if you have advice which improves the product, give that advice to everyone."
Saying that women can or need to be "fixed" to make them interested in computer science is incredible sexist.
Is this in the context of a public slack? For our internal slack I'd strongly question why questions needed to be raised in a channel with so many people - at my office we have two channels that most people are in, a #general for company announcement and releases and #random.

Otherwise I think dedicated team interaction channels are the biggest of ours and we try and keep those pretty small still.

Nobody is saying biology is "limiting" anything. That's the crux. They are choosing something else. Not better and not worse, but something they feel better suits their needs or desires.

CS isn't some magical field that floats on air. In fact, it's mostly a miserable profession with managers who don't understand how it works, cooped up in an office the whole day under artificial white light while sitting on your ass.
At Netflix, we rely on the workflow scheduler for such alerting and bundle in a layer of triggering mechanism (custom notifications and such)
>We have 80% females in the marketing department and it is actually much larger than the IT department. Is that a problem that needs to be solved?

It depends on whether it has been a consistent trend across the vast majority of marketing departments and companies, like it is wit software.

Just like having one software company with 80% women is not a solution, having one company with 80% women in marketing is not a problem.

50% is a useful number because that's about the proportion of women in the world (did I really have to spell that out?).
I believe this was a huge strength of MapReduce back in the day. The mapping and reducing of initial data would happen on the node the data was stores in. The only thing being transferred was the code and the results.
Broken how? This feels like a good example of a company building and launching something, then watching and responding to how the public/users react to it.

Isn't that more or less what you should do as a company? Build things and then adjust your strategy based on how the market likes or dislikes it?
Here's the list pricing. Pretty expensive, but in our case it saves a lot more than it costs.

> I wonder if it's actually good enough to justify that price.

If it can spot a lot of issues (performance, security, bug, etc), $3.75 is definitely a good deal to do it once a while but not on every single changes (e.g. fixing a typo in the code comment)
Sure, but nobody gives a shit unless you're absolutely blatant about it. As long as you don't hold a press conference and do a dance, you'll fly straight under the radar.
I'm not saying lock in doesn't exist. But I can't really envision how you would design a full cloud offering without vendor lock in of some sort? Beyond offering all services as open source so you can run them on your own data-center.

I'm being serious, how do you design an API and a set of distributed intercommunicating systems in a way that doesn't couple you with their specific APIs, communication channels and semantics?

I don't think it's possible.

I can see suggesting using open source solutions instead that you run on your own, but that still couples you to those specific solutions, except they're open source so in theory you could fork it and have more control over them. I get that. But this is a different argument I feel. Since the cost of maintaining these open source products on your own is high, and the cost of switching to a different open source solution is as much as moving to another cloud provider.

I think the only form of lock in right now that might seem designed by the business, and not an artifact of the tech itself, is the high price of exporting your data out.
That was absolutely jilted, but I think we made amends in the above comment thread :)
> Interviews are adversarial and not structured to create a supportive environment so candidates are at their best.

This is a really broad stroke and it may even be true to a high degree. But I've had (and given) plenty of interviews where we engage a topic and just talk about it openly as if we were already colleagues. Maybe that's a Swedish thing?
Here are some key features:

- Metaflow snapshots your code, data, and dependencies automatically in a content-addressed datastore, which is typically backed by S3, although local filesystem is supported too. This allows you to resume workflows, reproduce past results, and inspect anything about the workflow e.g. in a notebook. This is a core feature of Metaflow.

- Metaflow is designed to work well with a cloud backend. We support AWS today but technically other clouds could be supported too. There's quite a bit of engineering that has gone into building this integration. For instance, using the Metaflow's built-in S3 client, you can pull over 10Gbps, which is more than you can get with e.g. aws CLI today easily.

- We have spent time and effort in keeping the API surface area clean and highly usable. YMMV but it has been an appealing feature to many users this far.

Hope this makes sense!
No, it is not offtopic in the slightest...especially in response to an "author". The underlying questions remain obvious. Is metaflow not used in netflix suggestions? What utility does it offer that other tooling doesnt or at least how has netflix extracted value? These are interesting questions.
AWS Wavelength: Deliver ultra-low latency applications for 5G devices
They have their own solution for this. Which is fine, and may turn out to be great.

But you might want to talk to people like @QuinnyPig from the Duckbill Group before you assume the fix to your AWS issues is a third party vendor's product.
I just find the idea that people would pay money to have an insecure network-attached camera pointed at them at home, because picking up a remote control was just too much like hard work, utterly horrifying. This is not how I envisaged the future panning out.
Digging deeper on your excellent comment, when ai was inEnterprise Sales, we were taught that there were people who made buying decisions, people who influenced buying decisions, and users.

Sometimes users belonged to one of the first two categories, but often not. Companies that pivot from selling to people who use the product to selling to enterprise organizations pivot from building things for users, to building things for decision-makers and decision-influencers.

So it’s not only that management are choosing products for users, but the products themselves evolve to please managers at the expense of users.
Seems like a pretty thin article that doesn’t contextualize the push for manufacturing that has been going on in NYC for the past 5 years, through orgs and networks like NYCEDC or Futureworks, etc.
AWS Launches Fargate Spot Instances
That's the thing, most "example images" aren't just a bunch of holes or circles (I've never heard anyone claim security mesh or a half-cooked pancake are horrifying, although apparently crumpets are a known trigger?). They're photos (either shopped or real) of something that looks like a gnarly parasite infection. Disliking that is not 'phobia', it's legitimately yuck.

Is this the "men is short for bogeymen and thus not the same as any other collectivisation"-argument or an argument that they did not mean what they said?
https://www.onlinefnpprograms.com/features/men-in-nursing/

"The ACS also reported that men are more likely to gravitate toward high-paying nursing jobs. The highest representation of men is in nurse anesthesia, a role that often pays six figures. According to the ACS, about 41 percent of nurse anesthetists are men, and their median earnings in 2011 were $162,900. Among nurse practitioners, 9 percent were men making $96,400 per year on average."
Also allows the other Alphabet companies to have independent investors who may not want to invest in "Google" itself. Niantic is the prototype for this: it's success with Pokemon Go couldn't have happened without the partnership with, and investment by, Nintendo. It's doubtful that Nintendo would've wanted to invest directly in Google, though, and Niantic's $3B in lifetime revenue would be rounding error for Google as a whole but is still a very substantial return on Nintendo's $30M investment.

I provided feedback to slack once and got a reply similar to that. I wonder if they say that just to make you feel good and then throw the feedback in the bin.
Everyone likes to feel like they are above some other class of people. 'Nazis', FWMs, and Politicians must not even be human, much less deserving of baseline human respect or rights, based on the comments I see here. Its a huge problem.

Take a CD-R of some MP3 with English language file names stored on a FAT32 filesystem for example. Assume the reflective layer didn't rust since it was abandoned in a dry climate and our future archaeologist has access to roughly modern levels of technology.

1. Even if the CD-R has been crushed and shattered you could use a modern and cheap microscope to read continuous pits and lands off the disk [0,1]. It would be clear to anyone familiar with information theory how to translate the pits and lands to a series of set of arbitrary symbols which encode data.

2. This data would at first be meaningless. However the mathematical relationships of a simple error correcting code would stand out. This would allow them recover corrupted data. Once the error correcting code was stripped out they have a transcript of the raw data.

3. They would notice a pattern in the data. There would be long high entropy regions and then very short low entropy regions. They would probably notice that some of the low entropy regions had every 8-th bit set to zero (ASCII) and if taken in 8-bit chunks these regions had the roughly the same number of symbols as in the latin alphabet. If they were familiar with English they might quickly decode these regions using letter frequency correspondence with another English text.

4. The high entropy regions would be far harder to decode. However these future archaeologists would be faced with the obvious data patterns of frames of an MP3. Decoding the first MP3 would be a serious project involving many institutions over many years but once it was done it would allow the decoding of all artifacts that use the MP3 and related encoding formats. Possibly someone would find a "rosetta file" [2], a disk that contained both a .wav file and an encoded MP3 of the same song. More likely someone would find an MP3 player and then reverse engineer the decoding algorithm.

I've been loving their responsiveness lately /s. I `ctrl-k` jump to another convo and start typing and the lag between `ctrl-k` closing and switching to the new convo is enough that I end up typing a few characters into the prior conversation - then I need to jump back to clear out the draft.

Their channel listing is generally crap though, I gave up on trying to navigate it and just use `ctrl-k` jumping for everything, which isn't terrible because it means I spend less time on the mouse.
This hell has a name you will recognise: the leaky abstraction.

The idea is always to put a layer on top that simplifies things, so it's easier to use and faster to learn. But the end result is usually you have to learn both the abstraction and thing it was trying to hide.
Sikoba – Home of the IOU Economy
I believe (from having read a fair amount of the process hullabaloo) that they were taking advantage of tax incentives available to all employers choosing to locate in that area. To the extent that’s the case, I see absolutely no malfeasance.

There were additional, negotiated real estate related credits that are also likely to be similarly negotiated by any other developer.
Go right ahead. The link between talc and any kind of harm is limited (and it's asbestos contamination that is the actual culprit, talc itself is fine), and what evidence there is only links to ovarian cancer. Given how many decades people have been powdering their nether regions with talc, I'd find something else to worry about.

The linux world solved this with providing a package repository that maintains stable versions of software. This requires a lot of time and effort.

Many software projects simply don't have the labor available to support multiple releases of software. They run tip of master and that's pretty much it.

(Disclaimer: I work at Cliqz)

Exactly! It's a high time for everyone to have an open discussion and have some strict implementation around what kind of data collection is considered fair? Search being a complex application as discussed in our previous articles on our blog (https://0x65.dev/) requires data and by that I mean real "Quality" data. When dealing with large datasets, circumventing through all the noise is probably a harder problem than search itself. This is where Human Web shines for us.

Consider this realistic scenario, for a user query, we have to navigate through an index of billions of webpages and come up with at-least 10 relevant results (which fill up page one). On top of that, make sure that the result on first position (top result) is most Relevant or Vital (a very broad and subjective metric) - All of this under fraction of a second. Add to this, the complexity involved dealing with an ever evolving and exploding content on the web, where we have different languages and region locales to deal with.

Through our blog articles, we want to re-emphasize that building an "Independent" search engine is very very complex and a challenging task, specially when we incorporate constraints encountered at our scale and the fact that we want to really abide by the principles of "Privacy by Design".

As with most we too could assume that "X" data point is readily available, let's collect it! But In reality, we always circle back. Literally, ask ourselves ... Does collecting X datapoint violate privacy for our user? If the answer to this is ever a "Yes", the X datapoint is dropped immediately and we DO NOT COLLECT IT! For us, features which rely on that datapoint X are just not deemed worthy!!! If the industry starts to replicate this practice, it would be a great win for Cliqz.
