That's irrelevant. Its about trust, commitment and sticking it out. Google's penchant of throwing shit against a wall to see what sticks seems to prevent them from applying themselves to increase the stickiness of their shit.

I signed a contract, I didn't sign CA labor code which doesn't even apply within the same continent and which the contract does not reference in any way.

I'm pretty sure they can't claim they get to enforce what they intended to write just because I happened to guess what that was by Googling parts of my contract. What I signed is what I signed, and the wording was clear in the contract.

Oh I did, its just I never printed it out. It's just so easy to find evidence that gun ownership correlates with more gun deaths and injuries for the owner that I don't really need to save it anywhere.

Often when I'm google searching its because I remember the title of something or the general concept. Its something lots of young people do these days rather than printing articles out to scrapbook or saving them to desktop or whatever it is old people do.

Let me know what evidence would satisfy you that owning a gun increases the chance of dying via gun. Cheers.
Is Screen Time Bad for Kids?
Saying a language makes you "miserable" does not forcibly mean you literally want to kill yourself because of it.

I can totally see myself having more or less fun executing the exact same programming job, depending on the language I'm asked to used. And yes, to some extent, some projects (especially the ones where you have to start from an old codebase in a deprecated and ancient language) make me "miserable". That doesn't mean I'll quit my job on the spot.
Made this thing, curious if it can actually be useful to anyone.

A problem is happening at work with contention for a particular
resource (a pre-production demo environment).

The developers have to continually negotiate taking turns to occupy
the environment (to get their changes previewed just before they
are launched). There's only one of those preview environments because
it uses the same db as the main production system.

So I guess I'm playing with the idea of automating that conversation
away. Also, the webhooks are neat; lets the person who adds themselves
to the queue decide exactly how (slack/pagerduty/etc) they want to
be notified.

There's kind of a reason why SICP was written in Scheme in mind and not a blub language...
get_unchecked() is marked as an #[inline] function (like most other low level primitives), and through the magic of compiler optimization it should have exactly 0 overhead. The function should most likely compile down to a single CPU instruction.
> Well it's liker the German government saying that they will always write München even in English; that doesn't say anything about how English speakers (or German private citizens speaking English) might choose to refer to Munich.

I suppose this sort of thing instantly confuses me - why aren't we already calling the city München if that is what the Germans are doing?
It's rare to see such rabid government propaganda on HN, like some of the posts in this thread. The activity in this thread is comparable to pro-government posts seen on threads about Chinese internment camps and the Social Credit System.

There are plenty of disgusting comments to peruse here, though I'd like to highlight this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21823490

> If we can cut all these unnecessary middle men whose job is just confirm/deny the requests, the cost will be a lot cheaper.

Not true, administrative overhead accounts for less than 10% in healthcare costs in the US [1].

NHS sets a price for services, which providers have to follow. That evidently leads to waiting times and shortages, as well as lower wages and inferior equipment. There's no free lunch, you need to pick your poison.

There's also a difference between costs and prices. Labor costs in the US are higher, because all staff earns better than in the UK. The industry is highly regulated and liabilities are high as well.

In the US, lots of hospitals run a loss for treating Medicare patients, as well as people who end up not paying. In order to stay in business, hospitals charge as much as they possibly can, and it's very opaque. If you get a huge hospital bill, you must negotiate.

Lastly, technology in the US needs to be up-to-date all the time, otherwise you run the risk of costly lawsuits. That's not the case in countries where settlements are far lower.

Ultimately, the headline is wrong, a CT does not cost $1100, it costs whatever you or your insurance pays for it. You can get it for 450$ or even less. You need to shop around, but it's quite difficult, because prices are not transparent.

> What if you're wrong?

This is the right question and there is an easy answer: If all climate models are wrong, it still makes sense to reduce emissions, waste, garbage, cruelty to animals etc. Worst case would be that we "wasted" money on stuff that makes no difference to the climate.

But did you answer the question from the other side? What if you're wrong and there IS man-made climate change? Well, then we simply can't afford to burn more fossil fuels etc.

Edit: Just watched your video. Yeah, human psychology. But how do you solve this if one part of humans think that the only thing that's left is a "giant middle finger to the system"?
Yandex Turkey results include porn pages for “Google” query thanks to AMP
This is really a bizarre situation that is being currently discussed in a Turkish online forum. The reason becomes quite obvious when links to these pages are checked: They are all AMP pages. Yandex is associating these highly visited or searched pages with Google since they all seem to be hosted by Google.

The search in question is here: https://yandex.com.tr/search/?lr=11504&text=google

You don't have to have a perfect Turkish to understand the word "porn" under Google affiliated sites.

Killing Reader was massive strategic blunder, which in fairness to Google was probably not obvious to see at the time. But then to repeat that with Maps API,Google+, Sketchup and Wave (perhaps wave was first) just cemented Google's untrustworthy reputation.
I think the main reason they lag behind is because the service is perceived as worse. Amazon and Microsoft have well-established customer-development practices and they learn and resolve customers' issues. Having a good accessible support function is a great start to start listening to your clients but somehow in google culture they only want to look at aggregate statistics of a large userbase to learn something that customers are already trying to tell them through non-existing support channels.

For example, I've heard engineers complain about bad instances and intermittent networking issues. Concerns that I have never heard about in AWS except in the very early days of it.

I haven't looked at GCP in a long time, but I remember everything being very python-centric and very lightly documented.

Winning in technology often comes down to having a serious customer-centric product management function.

That’s a neat script and one of the simplest setups I’ve seen for running a mailing list (even though I don’t understand everything the Lisp is doing).

I’m a massive fan of mailing lists and despite all the other alternatives I think for the right group of people they’re the perfect solution.

* Here comes the shameless plug *

I’m the founder of Gaggle Mail (https://gaggle.email/) which provides dead simple group email. Our customers are as far from the HN crowd as you can get; non-technical, generally elderly but they’re desperate for something simple, with few features that does just what they need - and they’re willing to pay!

There’s a real market for taking what appears as a simple technology to most techies and dumbing it down to make it accessible to a wide and willing market.
Then the supply of “Chicago” equivalents is too low. By paying high prices, people are signaling to society that they value a dense city with public transportation. And chicago is the cheapest one of those, so if chicago is too expensive, then it’s signaling we need far more dense cities with public transportation.

Unfortunately, current regulations and voters make it impossible to create another Chicago/NYC/SF.
AusPost aren't the sharpest. I had a mail redirection in place while i was travelling. I sent a bunch of items home. Everything good. Months later I let the redirection expire. Suddenly 90% of my mail failed. I contacted a bunch of senders who said my address was invalid. At the time I didn't make the connection between the mail redirection and delivery problems.

I logged a ticket with AusPost. They couldn't figure out the problem. I still lost mail. They said some guy had gone on holiday. This issue went on for months. I logged another ticket. This was suburban Melbourne not some remote town with a auspost agency only contactable by llamas by the light of the full moon.

No better response. Both tickets auto-closed with no actual resolution. All the while some letters/packages got through and others didn't. A bunch of online sellers had to resend my stuff to an alternate address because the relevant portion of AusPost for my address were too stupid to sort this out. Every courier not connected to AusPost delivered perfectly.

Then all of a sudden around a year later my problems disappeared.

Moral of story: something fishy was going on. Auspost can't debug their own redirections. Delivery problems can really mess up your reputation. Get some kind of workaround from your side operational ASAP.

Yes I had a lock on my letterbox. Yes I was home when packages were delivered. It got so hilarious we'd sit with laptop on front porch. The guy would turn up with the "You weren't home card" then would have to go get the package out of his van.
That’s ironic, given that I’m from the UK and it was my British teachers in my secondary school who first made me aware of the meme.
Returning the nth prime is not known to be in P.
That clearly depends on the expressivity of your programming language.

Python is an example where named arguments preserve context, readability and simplicity (especially for people not aware with language features, bitmasks, etc):

fetch(
accountId,
includeDisabled=true,
fetch_history=true,
fetch_details=true
);

Similar languages (Perl for instance) recommend passing dictionaries (hash maps), which roughly reads the same way. Typically, these ways are easily extendable without breaking the API.

If your conclusion is “well obviously, the people of the future will share my ethics” then you’re missing the point of the exercise.

I have never ever, not once in my life, seen an investment advice in my country and schools, even when I tried.

Everybody is just like: "save some money, don't go to restaurants". Ace advice, all financial problems solved!

I'm 39 and I've almost literally broke my back working. Never had much time or motivation to look at the sides. So here's me, at 39, who still has no clue what does "invest your money" mean. Will you give me a few examples?

Same for diet, by the way. A lot of genetic advice is floating around but when you try to find a concrete set of rules, they are not there. My generation was never educated on diet. As far as I can see, the next ones aren't either.
There's going to be a lot more Wikipedia articles with the explanatory note “In this Japanese name, the family name is [surname].”

> I hope the fact that this happened in France doesn't throw a wrench in the reasoning.

humanrebar wrote that if it had hypothetically occurred in the US, it would "push against the First Amendment". You quoted that phrase and replied that it "isn't a freedom of speech issue", which I interpreted as disputing the claim that it would hypothetically push against the First Amendment. I replied in that context.

Whether it violates freedom of speech in a more abstract sense is, of course, subjective. I think that requiring the press to do some degree of due diligence is not unreasonable, but I also think there are advantages to the US's more deferential approach.

As for the Press Freedom Index, I'm under no illusion that the US is perfect in that regard.
Even more recently, we saw the utter destruction brought by nationalists after the break-up of Yugoslavia no more than 25 years ago.

In Bosnia, nationalist zealots killed civilians and committed genocide. If you've forgotten, look up Sarajevo and Srebrenica. There were murder camps put up by "Make Serbia Great Again" type nationalists. Their stated goal: "to contain the spread of Islam in Europe."

Only 25 years ago... And today the President of the United States is a man who sounds just like Milosevic. This rehabilitation of nationalism is the greatest disappointment of my lifetime.

Pretty sure its more to do with the fact that the bulk of the world's solution to seeing someone on drugs is to throw them in prison where the only source of happiness is more drugs, thus solving the problem once and for all. Addiction isn't something you solve by throwing people in prison.
The people who are voting don't care about debate on the internet, so theres no point in posting here. Also brigading is pretty regular on the internet, so if you are reading this you are lucky enough to have seen it on the way to it being voted down to oblivion. So you are only going to see one sided posts, and the people who can make a difference don't see them anyway.

This very issue lead to massive inaccuracies in polling in the last election - resulting in a belief that a left facing change was going to occur and instead a massive majority the other way resulted.

Ask HN: How to Sell Proprietary Software?
I am investigating practices around selling proprietary software. I know about the SAAS or managed approach where I need to handle all hosting operations.

In my case, customers might need to self-host the software for security or privacy reasons. I am wondering how to enforce license and contract. I am considering to add a routine in my program to "call home" with only the necessary informations, at which point the server will respond with the necessary information that will allow the program to run.

How do you sell software?
> Also, it's bad design of incentive. The insurance companies has an incentive to deny the payment, because it does reduce the cost and increase the profit. For profit companies try to increase the profit that's not wrong, but in this context , it's morally bad.

A for-profit company has no incentive to deny a test that may prevent even costlier treatments down the line. It must stay within budget, however. Socialized systems also have a budget and they also deny/limit/delay treatment all the time.

Also, look at the profit margins of insurances, they aren't that great (about 5% tops). If you sincerely believe a government bureaucracy can do a better job at this for less than the profit margin of a private company, by all means, vote for it.
Some of you guys are actively flagging my post to support the government disinformation and propaganda on this thread.

Let me repeat: The NRC and CAA need to be read together. When read together you understand how close it is to the Nuremberg laws.

The current Indian government has nothing to offer and is a repressive regime baring its fangs. Companies should be advised to stay clear of the region for a while.
"The Younger Dryas was the most recent and longest of several interruptions to the gradual warming of the Earth's climate since the severe LGM, about 27,000 to 24,000 years BP. The change was relatively sudden, taking place in decades, and it resulted in a decline of 2 to 6°C (3.6 to 10.8°F) and advances of glaciers and drier conditions, over much of the temperate Northern Hemisphere. It is thought to have been caused by a decline in the strength of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, which transports warm water from the Equator towards the North Pole, in turn thought to have been caused by an influx of fresh, cold water from North America to the Atlantic.
