I'm certain this isn't what the OP means, but from my own personal experience I think it's one of utility. Since you posted this 8 hours ago and no one's replied yet, it can't hurt to give you at least one other illustration.

When watching something on television with family or friends, if a question ever comes up about how something works (what it does, or what it is) that may not be made clear by the show, looking it up on another screen (e.g. mobile device) can lead to a much deeper conversation and better enjoyment of the subject matter. It can also lead to conversations afterwards discussing what we watched in greater detail than if we knew only what was presented in the show.

As an example that happened to me over the holidays, I was watching Alaska Aircrash Investigations with my parents as my mother has a fascination with investigative things, and she spent part of the time on her tablet looking up information on the NTSB staff in the show and, occasionally, some of the accident reports (if she could find them). This lead to both an interesting series of conversations about the people involved and greater appreciation for the program since we collectively knew more about the investigators and their backgrounds.

Tangentially, this is also why I think streaming YouTube to a television is such a beautiful thing (sometimes having the comments on a second screen while watching can be hilarious or depressing).

In my experience there's 2 types of sysadmins.

One type writes a script to back up systems. Depending on their level of expertise they may also include error checking and tie it into the monitoring/alerting system so we know when the backups don't run correctly.

Another type buys backup software, and configures it to back up their systems.

Each type has pros and cons, and each may feel superior to the other. However the ones who haven't coded may find themselves ill-suited to moving to a job where they are expected to be more of the first type, the coding sysadmin.

When interviewing prospective sysadmins, I've tried to tease out whether they are a "maker" or "doer" type of person. The makers tend to be more scarce, and the doers may be ignorant of how much they could be learning and experiencing if they widened their horizons a little.

It may sound like I'm very dismissive of the doers. I'm not, a good team is going to have a mix and have different levels of expertise too.

It strikes me as incredibly psychopathic on the part of the operators to run charity scams like this. How do they justify it to themselves?

Do other countries suffer similarly with fake self-serving charities like the US does?
This is a reality everywhere. California has bigger issues, yes, but that's not to say that a drone crashing into a neighborhood anywhere in the US could not launch a catastrophic event.

BTW, even if the issue was narrowed down to burning down a single home it would be serious enough not to have these things flying above neighborhoods. Let's be sure we are not doing the typical HN thing of getting lost in an endless and pointless minutiae argument --typical of programmers-- where everyone is trying to find the missing "case:" statement in the poster's scenario to show just how smart they are or have their position hold. If you want to find one, you can, that doesn't mean these things are anywhere near fault tolerant or safe to have flying everywhere.

There is no position that can support the idea of someone having fun flying around and taking pictures in exchange for a range of negative outcomes from hurting to killing someone on the ground or causing varying degrees of property damage.

That's what we are talking about:

Taking pictures in exchange for creating public danger.

If you want to find a "case:" where my argument is wrong, feel free. YouTube is full of evidence of the danger posed by these things.

At this point the genie is out of the bottle. As much as I hate heavy government involvement this is likely becoming a case where no other option remains on the table.

This has now become the gun debate with different hardware.
"After the California legislature passed CCPA, several major tech companies told federal lawmakers they would like to see one privacy law that covers the whole country."

While privacy laws are good, they are used by big companies to keep out the competition because small companies can't keep up with all of the regulations and don't have the resources to fight in court.

It seems like we are going to have a future that consists of big companies and governments..where the regulations required to run a company are so great, you need to have extremely deep pockets.

I don't really think this is the future we want.
I think that at some point in the future 'zero trust' will extend all the way down to the hardware level with individual components exchanging keys or otherwise nothing will happen. There simply won't be a safe perimeter within which you can trust another piece of hardware. And that's probably as it should be because a modern computer is better thought of as a network of - hopefully - collaborating processors than a single CPU with some RAM and peripherals.

Any one of those can be turned against you.

One can find many of those films on YouTube to rent for $2.99-$3.99, which is cheaper than Blockbuster used to be (adjusted for inflation) and much more convenient.
Listen to the latest Peter Attia podcast. Short answer for weight loss is to stay in zone 2, eat small amounts of carbs only during zone 2+ exercise, only enough for non-insulin-dependent GLUT4 transport. You can roughly double your fatty acid metabolism in a few months like this.
In California I occasionally see "11-99 foundation" license plates, for $2500 any non-felon can get one and hope the California Highway Patrol will go easy on them.
Yeah, there's that; I wasn't sure about affiliation status between userstyles.org and Stylish.

FWIW, I still recommend installing Stylus instead of Stylish - the difference is that at some point, Stylish changed owner and acquired analytics; Stylus is a fork that's free of privacy-invading antifeatures.
How oil companies avoided environment accountability after 10.8M gallons spilled
Not being able to attach images, please scroll down to the wiki sub section of ‘structure’ in the above link.

Then do a google search for Apis Cor..the construction robotics company that makes 3 D printed homes.

Of course, the ruins in the Urals are shaped like the nautilus and is an entire city design. And the Apis Cor 3D proof of concept printed homes in Siberia are single units..

But the remarkable similarity struck a chord in me.

Altho it’s not the same place, it’s somewhat the same region.Perhaps Apis Cor was inspired by the history of the region’s archeological records. But it was likely because the circular foot prints were the easiest design for the robotic arms. Regardless..it was a poignant ‘old is new’ again moment when I compared the images side by side.

Why don’t we have circular homes with domes and nautilus shaped cities anymore?
This is a good approach for some.

I am - and have always been - disinclined to do work I don't really enjoy. Some people - I have a good friend like this! - don't have that bit flipped in them, and for those people, your approach would be fantastic.

but without a doubt, the material economic reality needs to be discussed early on in high school.
I can't think of another service other than Netflix with such a hostile UX/UI. And this is in the age of popups galore.
Everything about their UI is designed to keep me out of it as much as possible. My bingeing habits have drastically reduced and switched to alternatives like prime and Hulu.

1. Auto previews is probably the worst thing they've come up with. I just want to read the description, not be assaulted with trailers and ad for the show. This means you need to scroll faster than it can be invoked. This also means a tense experience where I can't just take my time to find what I want to watch or I have to look elsewhere.

2. Constantly moving 'Continue Watching' . I just want to get back to the show I was watching. Why is that so difficult to understand?

3. Showing me previews by cutting out the end credits. It's like no one at Netflix has any idea how to watch a movie/show. Sometimes you want to reflect on what you just experienced. Or talk to the people around you about what happened. This is just extremely bad behavior on an app that's paid for.

4. The discovery is straight up garbage. A rand() function on the top global watched tv shows/genre will result in a better selection then the crap their ML algorithm puts out.

Ironically all their 'engagement' tactics had moved my household from Netflix to Hulu and prime more. 2020 is probably when we'll cut the cord on Netflix.

Netflix had a huge advantage of being the first and the biggest in streaming services. They could have been easily the Google Search equivalent in their field. Instead, today their just one of the very many services with no discernible difference.

Netflix has solid engineers who were amazing to work with, but their product management teams would be people I'd never hire because it's very clear no one really understands the product.
You're not looking at cost of education (the UK is a European outlier on that one) or healthcare (a disaster in the US), or price of vaguely healthy food (just compare a middle-class Safeway or Walmart to a middle-class Carrefour in France for example), or the cost of cars, going on vacation (super expensive in the US), the number of holidays, etc.

Direct money comparaisons doesn't explain everything unfortunately, and if you just look at that the US is clearly ahead..
Although this particular case is egregious, I'd like to point out that donors should not be overly focused on a simplistic view of a charity's finances.

A charity that only moves money around should of course be pretty efficient about it. But a charity that actually does things faces the same kinds of inefficiencies as any business.

For instance, The Nature Conservancy is a charity I like (I'm not necessarily recommending them -- do your own research). About 2/3 of the raised funds go to their actual programs, and the rest is administrative and fundraising.

However, they are one of the few large environmental charities that actually does stuff to help the environment, and attracts the expertise to do it well. The rest are lobbyists and money-shufflers, which I have little patience for when it comes to charities.

In other words, I'm much more tolerant of inefficiency when actually doing something. I think anyone who actually does things would agree that it's not always efficient when observed from afar. But in reality it's much more efficient to go straight to the people who can do stuff than what other charities do: buy time with Congress, hoping that they will pass laws that will either (a) move some money around in such a way that someone (perhaps someone without much expertise) will do something; or (b) force someone to stop doing something, hoping that they won't find a much worse thing to do instead.

This "clever hack" isn't how the GDPR works at all. In the first place, sufficiently pseudonymous data--that is, data that cannot by itself be used to reveal a specific, non-anonymous user--need not be deleted. (Hashing a ban list based on the personal and immutable information required at signup is an example of this, though discarding that information is.) Beyond that, the GDPR includes protections for companies against "manifestly unfounded" requests; while one must use this as an affirmative defense, a request to delete the record that that user has been banned from the service is a prime example of such things.

I do wish that software people sometimes bothered to extend a baseline level of competence to other people once in awhile, though. Like--do you think nobody thought of this situation?
Ask HN: Startups Offering Personal Loans for 5-8% APR?
I've read about how quantitative easing has resulted in a lot of companies with money that they can't find a place to get a good return on. The result is stock buybacks and high startup valuations. So I would think that getting a personal loan to pay off credit card debt at an interest rate of somewhere between 5-8% APR wouldn't be that hard, if there really is all this money sitting around looking for a decent return. However, the best online loans I'm finding are about 11-12% APR. I'm employed full-time and have good credit, with the exception of one credit card that is near the limit.

Are there any startups offering loans at the rate I'm looking for? If not, why?
Tell them that they don't have to follow their dreams 100% of the time.

If you don't plan to have a big career besides art, learn something that you can bear with and that has enough demand so you don't have to work 50h a week to pay the rent.

I know many people who simply have a vocation and an avocation. They work 3-4 days a week in an office job to pay the bills and do different stuff with the rest of the week.

Actors, musicians, tattoo artists, DJs, event organizers, illustrators, fashion designers, instagram influencers, photographers and what not.

Sure, it's cooler to do 100% of what you love, but these things really only bring fun if you can really do what you love and not have to bend yourself to apply your loved skill to some dumb projects just to make money.

I know many photographers who have to do one marriage after another, just to pay the bills and they hate it. Illustrators who have to draw corporate crap all the time etc.
This sucks the soul out of your passion.
That seems like a good reason to me, as long as the debt load isn't severe. Plus, in my experience, education enriches the everyday profoundly.
It will build morale in the team of developers on that project but from my experience management/product people will just give you a blank stare. Like so you spent a month doing... nothing?

What if you want to use both Apple News and RSS feeds on one phone? I know it sounds crazy, I'm asking for a friend.
Pretty much all my friends are work colleagues or parents of other kids. Also, my wife's co-workers. IDK what your wife does but maybe have her invite you to meet her team.

There's also every kind of social community imaginable here. You can attend tech meetups if that's your thing. Take a drawing class, find a D&D group, volunteer at a community garden, host orgies. Sky's the limit.
"Then, a few years into the [manager] job, they realize that they don't have the natural talent to develop other people. Not only is this a waste of their time, but chances are, they could have increased their contribution even more if they had stayed in the [developer] role - a role in which they naturally excelled. Yet if we want additional income, status or responsibility, most organizational hierarchies force us into a very different role - instead of allowing for an entire career of progression within a specific role that fits our talents."

My wife went to art school and is (somewhat embarrassing to me) supporting our family with her job at Amazon while I (a CS PhD) am looking for work. We even qualify for a mortgage with her income.

(Lesson: UX designers are as important as programmers)
I sometimes wonder about rpg's notion of a MFA in programming. I think it'd be very valuable - there's a lot of crossover between art and programming, I think.

That's the problem though. Even if most people are offline during the night or during holidays/weekends, you still need to provision enough IP addresses for peak demand. ISPs aren't paying for IP addresses by the hour, they're probably leasing/buying subnets on a yearly basis, if not longer.
Jason Fried was talking about this a few days ago:

https://twitter.com/jasonfried/status/1209115637148274690

I wholeheartedly agree as well. The key to working less, while being successful is to focus on what will give you the best rate of return and not doing the things that are not useful. That is really hard to figure out initially though. But I think it gets easier as you get more experienced, as your personal value system gets better tweaked to match reality.

This applies to the company as well like Jason Fried said. The company should have clear values that are attuned to market value and it should be professionally run.

Yep, that's _exactly_ what the "I made a website last weekend, so programming isn't hard, programmers just pretend it's hard" types say.
The language is quite interesting https://github.com/Morgan-Stanley/hobbes#evaluation: e. g. anonymous variants, isorecursive types.
The WebAuthn (and presumably older U2F) spec explicitly tells implementers to allow multiple keys and the protocol is designed to make this work smoothly.

I can kinda see AWS deciding your team administrator should take responsibility for enrolling new people etc. and so it's not necessary to support multiple keys but it means I don't enable it for my personal account, and I think it was a mistake to take this approach.
It worked fine 20 years ago.

natural remedies are not patentable

Never underestimate the ability of our dystopian modernity to do precisely this. Amarin patented a specific variation of fish oil (one that is no more bioavailable than literally eating a fish, just more concentrated), branded it Vascepa, and the FDA approved it.

I'm sure there are plenty more examples of this, but this is the obvious one that comes to mind.
Calling out cops for their bad behavior is inhumane? Saying that I won't support cops financially is inhumane?

Next time I catch a beat down for no reason I'll be sure to tell the cops that I love them. Next time I'm offered a bogus ticket in exchange for not being improperly arrested I'll be sure to tell the cops I love them.

Like I said, when my experience changes so will my opinion.
And interestingly, CPLX seems to be doing exactly what the article talked about. PG said something, and CPLX wouldn't listen to what it actually said, because it came from one of those rich people, and they couldn't possibly have anything honest and true to say. This is CPLX not actually considering PG's opinion for what it is, but for how it fits in CPLX's already-existing framework.
I would suggest that spending some time in any state-run education establishment will temper your enthusiasm for the course that we're going in.
What would you rather have? A civilization and culture extinct or a a civilization that adapts with newer people, creating a blend of the future?
I think the issue is the definition of a microservice isn't really set, while those are good candidates for microservices, you can even design them for core functionalities, such as for example in some challenger banks, i've seen the architecture of one or two who would have a service for different functionalities,such as one for card transactions, one for dealing with the account balances, etc.

But in my experience atleast, one of the biggest issues with microservices is the speed impact. Even a difference of 100ms on a consumer facing application can be an issue. 200ms is a noticable delay, and if something is 1 second slower users will actually get pretty frustrated.
As for speed, the difference in speed can be massive, and JSON serialization/deserialization (the way it is commonly implemented atleast) is very compute heavy especially if it relies on reflection. So the speed difference can sometimes be 5-10x and in microservices is a bigger concern then network latency. When you're dealing with larger dataset this becomes even more obvious.

Using gRPC for example, instead of JSON, the difference can be a couple of hundred milliseconds, which changes the conversation entirely on whether or not splitting it into a microservice is worth while and if the end user will notice the impact.

It's not Netflix's fault.

Netflix revealed a way to monetize the long tail of media content, owned by big studios. To those big studios, Netflix is just a middleman; they'll raise rates until Netflix has no profit left, or give discounts where there's a marketing tie-in (this is why the earlier movie shows up in Netflix when the sequel is on in the cinema - it won't hang around for too long though).

This structure is why Netflix is turning into yet another cable channel. There's no network effect beyond an install base and a bunch of customers paying monthly - not nothing, but also not actually much of a moat if users are using things like Amazon Firestick or something else that apps can easily be added to.

If anything, copyright is the problem. Copyright ought to enable rent extraction to cover the cost of production and a healthy profit premium to encourage quality and have hits that cover losses. But beyond a certain point (and it's measured in years for cinema, not decades) the output probably ought to be considered cultural capital and have capped and non-discriminatory broadcast and streaming costs.
On one hand you're correct, on the other there's all sorts of industries that still exist even though they have been 'disrupted', but I'm guessing if you relied on one of the disrupters for a service and were banned you might not be so cavalier in your attitude - this is based on my never having read of anyone being banned from one of these services unfairly and taking it in the calm stride you're recommending.
Depends on your industry. In the investments industry, there are many ICs who do well both impact-wise and financially. That is because the input of scale is AUM (dollars being invested.) You work the same but pump more $ into your algo.

That is why you see tiny hedge funds doing well, both for finance, quant, and tech workers.
How many cops have abused the citizenry vs saved their lives? There are 700k officers in the US. If you look at the number killed in the line of duty its 27. Note this doesn't include car crashes and heart attacks the number 1 and 2 ways to die in the line of duty.

Very few officers are charging into the line of fire. They mostly push paper and park their cars in areas where the speed limit dips so they can harvest money from drivers.
Ideologies are more multipolar than that.
I don't see why you're getting so defensive and making meaningless arguments when the entire point of the article is that the current arrangement isn't that great for consumers.
Yes, they're well within their rights to ban you, but it's terrible for consumers to not even get an explanation as to what rule you violated.
