Splunk is a good example of this. I've worked at several public and private muti-billion dollar orgs, and they all rant and rave about how good Splunk is over whatever else they were using.

So, build more splunks. Maybe something that aggregates monitoring multiple servers. A plug and play Status Dashboard for a company's internal apps. Like this: https://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=status
agree. I thought the Mig-in-the Middle example was sublime, (even though he said later it was "unfounded"[0][1]):

> One case history that unfortunately turns out to be unfounded is the story of the `Mig-in-the-middle' attack, pp 19-20. I got this story over a beer from a chap I met at a conference who was wearing SAAF uniform, and it seemed technically plausible. I tried to get independent verification and failed, as I mention on page 19. I used it, with that caveat, as I've found it is a very good way of getting students to understand the risks of middleperson attacks on crypto protocols. However, in September 2001, I learned from a former employee of the South African Communications Security Agency that the story is apocryphal. As there were no South African air defence forces on the ground inside Angola, IFF was not used there, and the SAAF did not have secure mode IFF at the time anyway. I am also told, however, by former GCHQ / Royal Air Force sources that similar games have been played elsewhere by other forces. See the excellent books by R.V. Jones (references [424] and [425]), plus the later chapter on electronic warfare, for more on air combat deception strategies.

That's really cool.
It's amazing what you can do with life if you don't care much about your reputation. I'm not in my middle 40s yet (still ~10 years off from that), but have a good stable job, feel respected, and still totally want to go for early retirement in 5-7 years.
I've used Windows, Linux/FreeBSD, and MacOS (and heck, even Solaris) extensively as desktop OSs. Windows is only better than for MacOS for tinkering if you're not comfortable using the command line.
If you're in a position to review employees, never ever ever let them go into a review not knowing what is going to be on it. How do you do that? Communicate. Communicate constantly. Talk about their wins. Talk about their non-wins. Talk about their skills. Talk about what needs to be improved. Talk to them about what they want to learn. Talk to them about what they have learned. Talk to them all throughout the year.
If by activist, you mean an excellent writer providing an accurate reflection, that anyone working the bay area the past 10 years can relate to?
> this is basically the Airbus equivalent of MCAS

I believe the Airbus flight envelope protection uses the same surfaces normally controlled by the sidesticks, ignoring the pilot inputs (which is possible because they're fly-by-wire), while Boeing's MCAS uses the pitch trim (since it cannot ignore the pilot inputs due to them being mechanically linked with cables).

> I wonder how well documented (and trained) this scenario is (and suspect that pilots are a lot more aware of it).

Here's a case of unreliable airspeed in which the three ADRs were turned off by the pilots: https://www.atsb.gov.au/publications/investigation_reports/2... ("In accordance with published procedures, the flight crew turned off the three air data reference systems (ADRs)"), so it does seem to be documented/trained.
I'm in Reston, VA (outside DC) currently. $500k for a decent townhouse and 1 mile to the town center. I can walk to Google's Reston office spaces, Walmart Labs is around the corner, and AWS (Herndon) is a short bike ride.

Interestingly, the suburban office campuses in this area are beginning to go away. Companies are moving to locations that are at least Metro accessible (Google's new office), or into urban areas (Amazon HQ2). Local zoning has changed to make that more palatable - just interesting to see the change in preferences since I started work in 1999.

You work in advertising in >20 years, you really think you would have job if it didn't work?

Everyone who you will ask will absolutely say they aren't influenced by advertising, yet the branded products are still successful despite being more expensive.

For example medication, people still are buying Tylenol, Mortin, Aleve despite there being cheaper alternatives that are essentially the same thing: Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, Naproxen. They will start buying these generics only after they are educated that these things are the same thing.

If you're looking for an insurance company (for a car, life etc) you will tend to chose companies that you heard the name of. You might pick up one that's not familiar (to you) only after you do research or someone else will recommend it to you.

It's same with politics, if you would do research I don't think those campaigns would influence you much, but most people won't have time to do a research.
In general, fossil kills 4-6 million people per year from air pollution. Nuclear has killed ~4000 total, ever. So nuclear plants are very, very safe compared to normal energy alternatives.

Fail-safe just means that if equipment breaks or a human does something wrong, the plant goes to low power and passive natural-circulation systems kick-in that keep the low-power shutdown mode from going to temperatures high enough to break the radiation containment structures.
To add to what others have said with some numbers:

https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_l...

To distill it down to a single figure: If you drain the battery down to 40% capacity between recharges, you can expect it to take ~600 charge cycles for total capacity to drop by 30%. If you only drain it down to 90% between recharges, the number of cycles increases to ~6,000.

The article doesn't specify, but I assume that's using a slow charge. I am guessing that with a fast charge, which is what is implemented in most consumer electronics, the difference would be even more stark.
I think building apps with spreadsheets makes sense, but to me the spreadsheet works better as the UI, not the database. In other words, you still store your data in a plain RDBMS, but you access and manipulate that data via spreadsheet formulas or custom functions.

Trends generally have multiple causes.

The link between extreme events and high costs plus the link between extreme events and climate change is enough to say climate change is a factor rather than the only factor.

Further, we don’t need to care about the causes to look into mitigation strategies. Banning construction at significant risk from storm surges is simply a good idea even if climate change where a non issue.

Edit: I avoided saying numbers of events because type and intensity could be more important than overall numbers.
I mean systems that have to scale to hundred of millions of users and guarantee durability in presence of infrastructure and software failures.

Cadence is used in production by over 100 teams at Uber and multiple outside companies. For example here is a presentation that describes how HashiCorp relies on Cadence for the new version of its Consul product: https://www.hashicorp.com/resources/making-multi-environment.... The Cadence related part starts at 17:30.
Not parent commenter, but I'll repeat what I said above to someone else about what fail-safe means in terms of nuclear reactors:

Fail-safe just means that if equipment breaks or a human does something wrong, the plant goes to low power and passive natural-circulation systems kick-in that keep the low-power shutdown mode from going to temperatures high enough to break the radiation containment structures.

Recall that coal plants and oil emissions kill 4-6 million people per year from air pollution. Nuclear plants are crazy safe compared to that. And while natural gas is safe from an air pollution POV, the hazards of climate change from it are potentially large. Nuclear reactors are essentially carbon-free.
From the author of the article, Dr. Heather Ferris, who gave permission for the following points to be shared:

That column in the post is very size constrained and has a very specific format- I would have loved to expand on some areas. Second- this is really written to educate those without diabetes about the disease. A lot of the subtext, which was more explicit but edited out, is that everyone’s diabetes is different. People with diabetes get a lot of blame and unsolicited advice, but each person has their own way of managing their disease and we should accept that.
The "About GitHub Sponsors" help page states, "To be eligible for the GitHub Sponsors Matching Fund, you must apply to GitHub Sponsors by January 1, 2020." This is the first time I see a deadline for the matching funds during the developer's first year. I also see that the "zero fees" pledge extends only through May 2020 (https://github.com/sponsors).
I don't speak Farsi, but I know the Arabic alphabet (which is used in a modified form to write it). The text at the bottom is the same "marg bar Amrika" being discussed by this piece, which is why this image is used as an example of Iranians translating "marg bar" as "down with".
If the US is a bad political experiment, which one is good? Iran would gladly send you to the gallows if you deemed it's religious leader - Ayatollah, also the political leader by design, as Iran is a religious state with no minority rights, a 'bad' political experiment.

And China/Russia would know your probability of saying so a-priori, given their blanket surveillance generating social credibility scores.

Since there's little technical detail it's hard to be certain, but I doubt this is useful as a proof in the way one might wish (that is, proving that a web server delivered content X at date Y). The reason is, it does not appear that anything prevents the user from modifying the web page and then generating a "proof" about the modified version.

TLSNotary (tlsnotary.org) is an example of a project that attempts to use a (modified) TLS connection for non-repudiation (which is roughly the property that we would want here), but it requires a trusted third party to act as the notary.

It's possible this project is taking a similar approach (which would be fine, for those who trust the trusted third party). But given the lack of technical detail, and reading between the lines, I don't see a reason to believe this is the case.

(Happy to be wrong, though! Maybe a more detailed description would help us understand what's going on.)
>MS workloads that should be on Azure.

Microsoft is breaking apart what WAS Windows Server, into discrete managed services. Identity Services, File Services, etc. If you have a need for what was formerly Windows Server provided stuff, and youre rebuilding infrastructure, you would get a lot of compatibility from Azure. Then, as you need other compute and storage resources, youre building on top of a service contract you already have, instead of spreading your data all over the clouds.
Solid enough? Its cast iron.
Zed certainly knows how to ruffle feathers. He's a rare voice in the tech world that will cut through the bullshit.
It's software; it can always be fixed. ;)

And given the over-arching topic of performance in Stadia, it may behoove Google to fork Linux and specialize the scheduler implementation to be more spinlock-friendly. Especially if Linux's benevolent dictator for life is telegraphing he doesn't consider it an interesting problem to solve.
They're claiming that the US is about bombs and skulls. Which seems like a fair enough argument. I mean, consider that Yale's Skull and Bones apparently collects notable skulls.
>implementing a new backoffice suite by a consulting company is one third or less technical / IT project; and two thirds or more business process / transformation project. And the actual success / failure of these projects is almost entirely guided by the business transformation part.

This 1000%. There's so much institutional friction with these projects for so many reasons; some of them political, some of them interpersonal, some of them just because someone doesn't want to. So many of these projects fail because people just don't want to work towards the goal, or simply do as little as possible and things move slower than molasses.

People don't want or care to change their processes. They do things that way because they've always done things that way. They see tools not as a way to get more done or be efficient, but as something that's "moving their cheese" and they don't like it. It doesn't matter how overworked they are by remedial tasks that could be automated, until you show them everything finished, end-to-end, working flawlessly, they won't be interested in the slightest.

The sad thing is that if there were some strong executive leadership behind these projects and they saw it as a positive thing, there could be better traction and better results. Instead, most execs look at these projects as mundane details and hand them off to whatever sad middle manager is going to take the heat for the project going south. The result is no teeth behind the initiative which even further exacerbates the issue of people not caring or lifting a finger.

That was traditional way, Trump during his campaign sad many things that contradicted itself. Nobody really knew what his actual policy would be in the end.

Even if it did wear out after 200 cycles, you could still use it as part of a hybrid battery pack. Imagine 50% lithium ion, 50% lithium sulphur. If LiS has 4x the energy capacity of LiIon, you'd have 2.5 times the maximum range of a pure LiIon pack. But most of the time, you don't drive anywhere near the full range, so you discharge the LiIon pack first, and only dischange the LiS pack on those rare days when you need the extra range (or if you only very very rarely need the extra range, dischange the LiS half occasionally to avoid the LiIon half wearing out first).

Nobody needs a luxury car. Nobody needs to eat at nice restaurants. Nobody needs vacations in Europe. Nobody needs a $1000 phone.

But if I had to choose one thing where I have no problem spending more than what is strictly needed, it's going to be the place in which I'll be spending the vast majority of my time for the rest of my life.

If it makes you feel any better: for the low end of my range ($1.5M), you're not going to get that 7000 sq.ft. You'll be buying a house on a 3500 sq.ft. lot, so the argument still stands.

The quote is from “Howl”
by Allen Ginsburg, a poem about burnout (among other things). That’s applicable to a report of people working a 9-9-6 schedule, a recipe for burnout.
First of all, it's hacker news, not a general news site. And while the width of breadth of the type of news you'd find on here is larger than just coding and other hackery, it's still at least usually based in technology. Like batteries. Still, the official guidelines say anything "a hacker might find interesting" and we seem to be a environmentally-minded bunch, so maybe it would fly.

Second, it's based on use submissions. You think we should know something interesting about the AU fires? Submit a good article about it I guess. If I and others learn something interesting, it'll get voted up. That's how it works.

Dao software such as Aragon and Daostack may be the ones which make this real.
A lot of the complexity in running distributed teams is connected to the sorry state of international payments.

I’ve experienced that while on the ground (also an Embraer I think). Was your experience in the air? I think I’d hold my breath if that happened while mid flight.
Their API is great. I found their site a little slow for something I want to check regularly so I built a faster one based on the API:

I just checked my app, it had no permissions.

I wouldn't allow it to do so, so I assume it asked, I said no, and we moved on.

I spent 45 years in this industry and the following describes exactly what happened in the mid 90's throughout the entire industry. As subcontractors, we were told that we needed to get on board with the new way of thinking, or we would lose our contracts.

>Inside the company, there were rumblings of dissatisfaction. A formerly cosy atmosphere, in which engineers ran the show and executives aged out of the company gracefully, was suddenly cut-throat. In 1998, the year after the merger, Stonecipher warned employees they needed to “quit behaving like a family and become more like a team. If you don’t perform, you don’t stay on the team.”
A good part of them would have been great predictions to the past decade :)

Maybe you can enlighten me, but from my view it seems the biggest difference is that zig exists and jai doesnt (yet?); at least for practical purposes.
In your context of all of the other “political science experiments” (e.g. governments) you think the USA is poorly designed? What experiments do you think were better designed in that case?

One great thing about our experiment is that you have a lot of liberty, included your constitutional right to travel. You can live in other cities and states which more closely align with your ideologies without ever needing to even think of violence of force.

Or, if you can't find a home here in any of our states or cities, you're welcome to seek a new home anywhere in the world.

That's the kind of liberty our experiments grants you.

The text does indeed say marg bar America, the phrase being discussed in the article. The bombs aren't supposed to indicate "let's drop them on America", but rather are intended to represent the bombs dropped by Americans: the intent of the mural is to criticize America's military interventions.
Blow is pretty familiar with Zig, there has been some collaboration between the two creators.
1984 is only a manual if the state or federal government implements it. If an HOA implements it, I don't see how that is 1984. If I turn my house into my own surveillance state, that's not 1984 either, that's me automating tedious things like looking out the window for suspicious characters or events.
This is a fairly general argument for abolishing government, period, and not a specific criticism of the U.S.

If anyone can unilaterally decide not to be governed, then the government ceases to have any purpose. I think there's definitely a case to be made for allowing people to have more personal control, but what you're advocating is basically anarchy.

I still remain unconvinced that was really “Russia” (as opposed to, say, some bored Russian teens).

The reason for my skepticism is the crappy podunk nature of the leaked material. The FSB spends billions every year spying on US politicians, surely they’ve managed to find stuff a lot more embarrassing than the boring emails of some dude whose password was “passw0rd”?

Is what you're describing what we think of as a "performance review"?

I've found as the other user describes performance reviews to be a largely formalized HR driven process that is disconnected from any real "development plan". At best a development plan is tacked on but the nuts and bolts of any of that is largely determined outside whatever the performance review structure is.
