On a fundamental problem solving level, open source spoils the part of the fun. I only need the executable file, and part of the fun is figuring out how it works and how can I morph that file to make it do other things, or completely change the functioning of the software.

One example I give is rock climbing. Logically, everyone should just take a helicopter to reach the top, or let the community contribute and build the road. But where is fun in that? We are rock climbers and we will rock climb.
People on Twitter seem to just joke around about it...
Was that the IP incident between Google and Uber? can you say more about the evidence here or post a source? just curious.
Any crime is inherently evaluated as “worse” or “better” than another crime under most judicial systems, which is reflected in sentences and in allocation of police resources.

One can express their agreement with current allocation of resources without blaming victims for the crime, can’t they? To me, as to someone who knows a rape victim, likening car burglary to rape sounds much more horrific than that.

Did victim-blaming get edited out of the comment you were replying to after your post?
The article omits arguably the highest-impact element:

4. Be comfortable selling a product that almost all customers use to send spam to strangers.

That's the ingredient many, hopefully most, entrepreneurs don't have. Outreach got popular by letting salespeople send the same template to more strangers, faster. That was its whole business for the first few years.

Even today, the leftovers exist on their Web site. https://support.outreach.io/hc/en-us/articles/216288348-Avoi... is one example: "When using Outreach, it is up to the individual to follow these requirements. Remember, being marked as spam can have a detrimental impact on your organization's deliverability rates."

If there's a universal lesson, it might be to find a market, customer, or delivery method that you are uniquely suited for. Outreach's founders cared less than average about enforcing policies or making a positive overall impact, and they found a field where caring about paying customers at the expense of all other stakeholders (like recipients) was rewarded. While I sure wouldn't encourage differentiating that way, the concept works.
A fair chunk of that rebuilding is due to more relaxed zoning which is additive instead of single-purpose.

In the US, zones tend to be "single family home", "apartments", "town homes", "commercial", "retail". No overlap and the housing variants don't allow increased density without re-zoning, which is expensive.

In Japan, zones are more like a maximum usage. "homes", "homes+retail", "home+retail+commercial", etc. The housing zones are less restrictive - typically single family, duplex, and low-rise apartments are all allowed in the basic residential zone. High-rise would be in a different zone, along with retail, commercial, etc.
They may be looking for funding. Can't really think of why else they'd need to announce something that's currently vaporware.
The sellers in this discussion are multinational organizations with very well educated people working with access to tons of data. I'm sure that for their own compensation's sake, they are busy figuring out how to extract as much value from their content as possible, which means figuring out how to get as many people to pay as much as they can for it.

They've offered the very show we're talking about, GoT, for $15 per month, when you want to watch, on pretty much any device you want to watch it on. Included in the $15 is pretty much the rest of their award winning content. If buyers think they can get a better deal elsewhere for their entertainment, they are welcome to patronize other businesses.

In a nutshell, I want to be able to hand draw on top of existing (pre-installed) images and I want a fill tool that will add textures, patterns or even bits from a photo in addition to plain color.

I would like it to have a tool set similar to Microsoft Paint. I'm very comfortable with Microsoft Paint and have used it to make hydrology maps for college classes. Sketchbook kind of has too many tools while (so far) failing to actually do what I want.

Maybe I will figure out how to do this in an existing program, but it looks like if I can, it would involve brute forcing it. I want something more convenient that gets results of a certain quality level without me having to treat every illustration like a masterpiece intended for a fine art gallery.

I have some art skills, but I'm not super talented. With the right tools, I can create quality illustrations and graphics, but freehanding everything is an excessive burden and an obstacle to productivity.
pretty cool. i wonder how well it works though
> I disagree that Zuckerberg's major impact will be on medicine, human opinion is much more influential than hard science in the shimmering parallax of annals of dimly lit human history backwards into the ages.

If CZI is successful, over the long arc of history, it's almost inarguable that his greatest impact will be on medicine.
Security Theater at its finest. If something happens they can always claim: "Look -- we did something -- it was utterly stupid and had no effect at all, but we did it, what else could we do?!?!"

I hope it is possible to decompose this in two problems:

1. Dependencies in incompatible Merge Requests that need to be accounted for, see https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/merge... on how to do that.

2. Most merge requests can merge in previous changes changes, for that you can use merge trains as detailed in my other comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21679515

Doesn't even have to be in the home. In Wisconsin you can drink under 21 at a restaurant if you're accompanied by a legal guardian, parent, or spouse who is 21 or older.

As I recall, many divey bars would settle for "sibling." As a teenager in Illinois I heard tale of a mythical land to the North where we could drink in restaurants with our parents.

Jessie Frazelle is listed as the company's "CPO" - huh? Isn't that a Star Wars character? :-P

(Obligatory clarification: of course I'm joking; but is that "Chief People Officer"?)
Luckily that's been the case for me. I work primarily on-site, but can work from home pretty easily since the hardware I test on is easily reachable from VMs I can remote into.

Also ammo purchases have similar background check style requirements so it's difficult to bypass the systems unlike the US. It's always weird when people bring up Switzerland like it disproves the push for tighter gun laws, all it really shows is that tight gun laws work and you don't have to completely ban guns. [0]

[0] They do have a high rate of suicide by guns than the rest of Europe though and that number has dropped as, surprise surprise, gun laws have been tightened.
I found that python is very slow to use when analyzing billions of entries, if you do a function call per entry, because the overhead of a function call is so large in python (and may be much slower than what's actually inside the function). Even JavaScript can do this much faster.

Is there any way around that?
I am not so fond of the word "privilege" in this context. A sign of the times, I guess.

>Most of the benefit to me is the lack of routine.

Wow, this is literally the exact reason I loathe remote working! I've been working remotely for almost 5 years now and I'm about to jump ship at my current job specifically so I can find a job that has a physical office to go to. I find that the lack of a routine causes a significant increase in stress in my life. It's an actual dream of mine to go back to a 'normal' job where I go into an office and sit at a normal desk with a normal work schedule, and then can just go home or to the gym at 6pm and enjoy my non-work life.
This doesn't cover many many people for various reasons. Ie I own 2 properties and I live in neither (house that I bought for my parents 1500km away, investment apartment in the mountains). I rent, because a) it doesn't make much sense to buy a property in traditional sense here where I live, too costly; b) we're not yet stabilized on location with first kid coming, and pinning us down to specific place before this is clear might be a huge mistake on many levels and massive stressor for our lives and relationship. We might end up not buying anything else till rest of our lives, dunno now.

Others might have other reasons for similar state.
Oh cut out the strawmanning. Obviously (one would hope it's obvious) we don't want the one entity that can use violence to officially or unofficially judge people based on their parents but individuals are not held to the same standards and expecting people's values to at least be correlated with the values of the people who raised them is not unreasonable and it's a pretty decent rule of thumb.

More cores _actually_ running simultaneously means more likely chance of encountering sporadic race conditions. Also makes it easier to measure (and thus work to improve) high thread-count scaling.
Location: United States (Puerto Rico) GMT-4

Remote: yes

Willing to relocate: no

Technologies: data analytics and monitoring, see bottom for details

Email: heliodor [ a@t ) [ hostedmetrics ) d-o-t c-o-m

I offer two services:

1) Design and implemention of data processing systems.

2) Data analytics and business intelligence to measure and improve the business performance of growing products.

I will instrument your software to produce the necessary metrics, measure conversion rates, set up insightful dashboards, and best of all: optimize and grow! Both now and down the road.

About me: My passion for metrics and data analytics goes more than nine years, when I joined as one of the first handful of engineers on the Data Analytics team at Squarespace. More recently, I have performed traffic, conversion, and profit analysis for an affiliate marketer.

Available on a contract/consulting basis.

A few keywords for people using search: business intelligence, data analytics, data warehousing, ETL, data visualization, reporting, time series, Django, InfluxDB, Prometheus, Graphite, Grafana, Segment, TimescaleDB, RedShift, contractor, consultant.
Yeah, don’t worry— it sounds like madness to insiders, too.

The only real “crisis” about living in SF is the highest property values anywhere on earth mean you couldn’t actually live there if you wanted to.

The Bay Area is, for better and for worse, the closest thing we have to a model of a progressive utopia. That means if the presence of things like homelessness, brown people, or property crime make you feel unsafe, you will feel less safe there than you will in Irvine, CA.

On the other hand, if what brings you comfort is seeing your government focus on long-term, systemic inequities instead of trying to paint over the superficial consequences of the same, then SF will feel a little better to you — Oakland moreso — and in Irvine you will live in fear of being summarily executed by the Secret Police.

It’s like... based on the stories, I’m shocked that Alabama is still civil and solvent, you know? Just different perspectives.
That's both monitoring and blocking. I'm not sure you can block without monitoring.
> The hard part, in my opinion, is providing managed services like relational databases or key-value stores.

Just moved from AWS to Vultr & DO and it's loads cheaper and faster for my use case (lightweight landing pages basically).

Managed services are still incredibly tough because of client support, and like you said, relational databases and key-value stores.
What was I arguing? I merely pointed towards a well known psychological bias that's resulting in feel-good measures that do little to ensure _actual_ safety.

There are many more risks to our children we should consider before this one, and there's only so much political capital to do it. Authoritarianism is one of those risks...
Plenty of companies, including medium-sized companies and companies in non-tech industries (finance, healthcare, defense, etc.)
Generally for regulatory/security reasons, and also because it can make financial sense.

I can see that Dell, Lenovo, etc. are already offering "Kubernetes" optimized servers; it's not clear how much of it is just marketing, though. Perhaps this new company wants to offer something similar, but be more competitive by taking advantage of superior software design skills (if I understand it correctly). Then it would just be a middleware company disguising itself as a "computer company".
Housing is actually a depreciating asset in Tokyo, with a regular cycle of tearing down and rebuilding units every few decades.

But the poor youth don't need to vote, they can just simmer on things long enough until they break out in riots. I mean hey massive social upheaval and unrest nearly got the FAP passed under Nixon.

Let the kids burn down a few small suburbs and the government will figure out something.
Secfi | Software engineer(s) + Operations and Finance | Amsterdam, the Netherlands + San Francisco | EUR 50-150k + equity

Secfi is a VC-backed fintech start-up that helps start-ups and employees better manage equity compensation. We do this by providing shareholders of private companies with liquidity so that they can exercise their options or access capital for personal use. We build technology products that help private company employees make the most of their equity and make more informed decisions. By simplifying their equity compensation, employees can spend more time on things they love doing most. We have offices in Amsterdam and San Francisco.

For example: one of the most complicated things for employees is figuring out how much taxes they need to pay when exercising their Incentive Stock Options or Non-qualified Stock Options. The tax planning tool inside our dashboard does just that: https://www.secfi.com/#gif-container

An exciting challenge we’re working on next is an exercise planning tool that tells you what you should do with your equity based on your personal. Things have been going very well here at Secfi, and we’re looking to add 10 more people to our Amsterdam engineering team. We have a variety of engineering vacancies including a VP of engineering, frontend, backend Python and full stack JavaScript engineers: https://www.secfi.com/careers

Questions? Please email careers@secfi.com to get in touch.

Uber (Signup and login) | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE | VISA | fulltime

We’re looking for engineers (iOS, backend, web) to help rebuild the entire signup and login experience here at Uber.

In the past, each product team built their own signup and login experience. While this led to fast execution, it became harder over time to launch new growth and security features across all product lines (Uber has dozens of mobile and web apps!).

Opportunities:

- High business impact: This is a mission critical team. You’ll directly be driving user growth. Signup and login is one of the most visited user experiences here at Uber.

- Ownership: Lots of unsolved technical problems (eg: single sign on, smart lock, biometrics). As part of this effort, we’re building a reusable identity library to handle our future identity needs. Help us build this from the ground up.

- Large scale: Lots of interesting scalability challenges on both the backend and web. We care a lot about performance since Uber operates in many regions where customers have underpowered devices and weak internet.

Come join us! Email me at dawang [at] uber.com
I've been messing around with FastAPI as well and it really is such a pleasure to use. ️ Its documentation is what really makes it a stellar project for me.
I cannot express how little sympathy I have for this tale of woe.
I see your point. To me, victim blaming was implied by implying tourists having their camera's stolen don't deserve help because they aren't street smart in SF. I am not saying police shouldn't allocate resources to 'worse' crimes but we shouldn't also say it is the tourist victim's fault (e.g. "They should've known better!". I think that's a slippery slope that is best avoided. I may have read too deeply into the intent behind that comment though.
