One part where it makes sense to me is that CRDB often talks about deploying their product in K8S as a good idea.

In that scenario, it's very easy to end up in a situation where CRDB communications are encrypted twice, with separate certificate management systems. Not just the client->db connections, but also the node->node ones. Especially with things like Istio becoming more popular.
FWIW, the situation is significantly better in the Apple phone market.

Silicon Valley also pays something like 2-3x Europe and Europe has about the same taxes so you still come out ahead in SV. If you were actually willing to take a lower salary (for cheaper housing, less taxes, etc.) then there's plenty of places in the US willing to take you up on the offer.
A lot of orbital rockets use hydrazine and UDMH in their first stages. Titan (prior to IV, IIRC), Long March, Proton and Tsyklon.
Running high speed trains on mixed mode rails (with commuter and freight traffic on the same lines) leads to one of two things: Either you slow your high speed train down (lowest common denominator) or you severely reduce capacity of slower commuter trains.

This is why the HS2 project in the UK will free up so much local commuter capacity. By taking all high speed trains off the existing lines, you can run many more trains on them.

i can see my response may have needed a few extra words, however I think referring to my comment in such a fashion is slightly misleading.

I’d hate to think that in this forum, just because a comment is short and succinct - what I thought to be a daily clear response, meaning “the authors live in a bubble of experience and expectations” - it is somehow lesser value that a comment that is long winded and without a clear opinion.

TLDR. I hope HN doesn’t confuse clear and succinct with snarky and sarcastic.

I used to agree this, but this leads to what I think is a pernicious belief stated differently: that you can only make "true art" if you're giving it away for free.

This comes up a lot when making indie games. That your work is somehow less pure or you had to compromise on your creative vision because you had to monetize it. As a creator you have to make a ton of tradeoffs all the time anyway, since you have a finite amount of time and resources. What if monetizing it actually allows you to achieve the vision you had in mind? Or it helped you understand what your audience cares about and make something more relatable or moving (or go the other direction, disturbing or meant to role them up etc) Why isn't monetizing just another trade-off? What's so special about it?

The answer to me: culturally monetizing/greed in art has been seen as making art impure and it's a stigma we need to get over.
The Road to 80 TB HDDs: Showa Denko Develops HAMR Platters for Hard Drives
I've read a few more articles on the subject now. One side or the other is lying through their teeth but I've no idea which side. It's depressing how possible it is for someone to argue almost any point of view especially if they are shameless and willing to lie and it's so hard to prove anything.

In Forbes there is a contributer "Michael I. Krauss" who subscribes openly and fully to the view that Chevron is innocent, that any pollution is due to the Ecuadorian petrol company and that Donziger is a crook [1] who fixed the trial through bribery. This blog post (one day later) by Clyde Osborne also takes Chrevon's side [2]. Weirdly both articles use the similar phrase

"If I were a legal journalist, I would track down Mr. Donziger's legal ethics professor at Harvard. I would ask that professor what he or she thinks of his or her former student. Harvard might want to create a seminar about the Lago Agrio case. Note to HLS's Associate Dean: I would be delighted to teach that seminar. It would be a great case study about how not to practice law."

and

"If I had been a felony journalist, I might track down Mr. Donziger’s felony ethics professor at Harvard. I would ask that professor what he or she thinks of his or her former pupil. Harvard might want to create a seminar about the Lago Agrio case. Note to HLS’s Associate Dean: I might be overjoyed to educate that seminar. It would be a tremendous case observe how now not to practice law."

That's a bit weird. Ironically today's article did speak to Charles Nesson, an attorney and Harvard Law School professor who takes Donziger's side and even "teaches Donziger's case in his “Fair Trial” course, using it as an example of a decidedly unfair trial." This other publication also seems to be more aligned with Donziger [3].

This is clearly a divisive issue with 9 billion dollars at stake for Chevron and millions at stake for Donziger (Chevron demanded a few years ago that he pay for all of their legal fees and he was fined for comtempt of court too) and so I'm not sure how much you could trust any reports unless you put a lot of time into studying this issue in depth. There's so much money swilling around and both sides have accused the other of running misleading publicity campaigns through to outright propaganda.

To me it still seems like a massively unequal fight though and demonstrates that a sufficiently funded corporation can crush most people legally if they wish to. Legal costs are simply too expensive for most individuals.

While I want to agree, at the same time I'm afraid of people creating their own frameworks, re-inventing the wheel, etc. Mind you, Angular feels like a very heavyweight framework, so that would be the other side of the coin.

Personally I wouldn't go for a vanilla JS application, not unless the script / application part of it are minimal.
There a couple of alternative solutions, from convenient to effort needed :

iOS ecosystem. Since Apple is a hardware manufacturer foremost, you notice from the start you aren’t the product. Lots of apps, many of high quality.

Librem/Pinephone : Linux phones. While the hardware is still closed source in certain parts, it’s a step up from what we have now. Librem allows you to install any linux variant you choose.

Zerophone : Build your own phone basically, very cheap to build ($50) , and currently in development.
> Exactly, if you provide the laundry list its easy to validate your assignment against it.

There is no laundry list. There is an expectation that a senior engineer writes codes like a senior engineer.

> You submitted code which doesn't have things in my laundry list. Noticeably your db calls aren't surrounded by try/except. You have written no documentation. You didn't ship the code with git repo. No unit or functional test cases. I also expect these days one would use Python's typing library. Most of this helps in code maintainability. The fact that your assignment has none of this means you can't be hired to write production code ....

Not sure if you are really this dense or playing dense - the point of the comment was to show that your assumption about api validation and sql injection being explicit requirements or taking too much time is ridiculous. It' simple that it can be written in a comment in about 10 minutes, not the "24 hours" or whatever you claim it is going to take.

The very fact that you think sql injection is an explicit requirement or takes work will be an instant deal breaker for any position with the possible exception of fresh grad positions.

> ... See where this is going?

Yes, I do. You are arguing reductio ad absurdum to hide the fact that the things which you claimed unreasonable are in fact routine, and your time estimates are off by order of 10.
All Eyes on Apple (2007)
If I am joining a new team or company and therefore getting a new manager, my 1:1 meetings generally support my onboarding. I would ask about the team's current processes, how they got there, who to ask about learning the system architecture, etc. I also try to get a feel about what the new manager's style is. How does the manager want to stay apprised on my work, what is his/her approach to career development, etc. And very importantly, I ask how often we should have 1:1s.

If the new manager is joining my existing team as my manager, 1:1 meetings now support my manager's onboarding. The topics are very similar, but I have to be a little more tactful to avoid appearing arrogant or patronizing. I will ask what he/she thinks of the product we work on, or about the system architecture. Once again, I will try to get a feel for the manager's management style, and I will ask about the approach to career development and future 1:1s.

In either case, my number one goal early on in 1:1s is to build rapport. I don't intend this as a "winning favor" type of thing, but rather I need to do my best to build the relationship from my side so that I feel comfortable raising concerns and I can understand where my manager is coming from when inevitably he/she starts making new requests.

I don't like to share a 1:1 agenda until it's clear that the manager respects 1:1s. Otherwise there's a risk that the manager preemptively invites other people to help answer the topics in the agenda.

I try not to rant or complain in 1:1s anymore. I found that my managers' reactions were rarely predictable. Some managers try to solve the problem immediately, and some managers do nothing. Some managers would move me onto another project. Now that I have more experience, if I have a complaint, then I also try to propose a solution.

Finally, I try to avoid using 1:1s for status updates or escalating blockers to my manager. In my mind, these are best done as needed or as soon as possible.
Why t-test in particular ? That would be applicable as long as one has two Gaussian populations with the same variance and potentially different means.

In my experience, those preconditions are violated more frequently than they are met, unless some extra steps are taken to make the data Gaussian with equal variance. Central limit theorem helps sometimes if the true variance of the populations are well behaved (not very large).

I miss the jack every single day.

Recently the wire of my regular ear buds gave up (as they do) and, since I had gotten some BT ones, I decided to use them. They're Jabra Elite Sport, which got good reviews from what I can recall.

They're dropping out like crazy. It's seldom to get an entire minute of music without a small dropout. The area around the bus stop at work is particularly bad, with sound drops every few seconds until I get away from that area.

I upgraded the firmware and it got a bit better, but still pretty poor. If I hold the phone in my hands and keep still it's usually ok, but as soon as it goes into my pocket, all bets are off.

I don't miss the cable tangle, but I miss being able to enjoy music.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but outside of the SV bubble(see Europe) most companies don't see feedback from rejected employees as a high return ("who cares what some people that were not good enough for us think?") since the're never in the firing range of reddit/twitter mobs like the big FAANGs.

Being Dutch and actually working remotely from home full time, I find this hard to believe.
What I can believe much easier is that indeed many people are allowed to occasionally work from home or have a day a week or something when they typically work from home. E.g. to pick up the kids from school etc.

I do get raised eyebrows when I mention working from home full time.
This is anecdata, but I don't know anyone who works from home full time.
Maybe we Dutch from-home workers should get out more and meet each other :-)

Better yet, avoid it entirely and stick to using React's Context (https://reactjs.org/docs/context.html) or if you have to, useReducer() (https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-reference.html#usereducer).

Of course, those are lightweight / 'native' (to react) alternatives to redux / state management; last time I used it there were some really neat (theoretical) advantages, such as a browser addon where you could do time traveling debugging (replay individual events) or push the state and all state changes into a support ticket for reproducibility. Purely theoretical though, and at the time using Redux added a lot of mental and labor overhead, especially when using it to manage forms. (personally, I think form data should never be part of a global state; it should be limited to a component that manages the data itself and does not leak it elsewhere. But, it depends on the situation, as always)

$2.5M for putting 100kg into orbit. Versus SpaceX's price of $1M for 200kg into a Starlink inclination LEO. And since Astra didn't specify the orbit, it's probably an easier orbit, so an equivalent orbit is probably about 60kg.

And that price assumes a volume of 100 launches per year. Sure there's a market for cubesat's into bespoke orbits, but it isn't that big, AFAICT. If there was, RocketLab would have a lot more than 10 launches scheduled for 2020.

Astra says "constellations", but that makes even less sense. If you have a bunch of satellites to launch into the same orbit, a Falcon9 at $50M will get you 13000kg into LEO.

To make things worse, RocketLab is working on reusability, which gives them the potential to drop their prices significantly. They're already at just over twice the price for significantly more than twice the capability, and they don't consider 95% success rate "good enough".

I wish them luck, but it's a tough market.
I get how the interview experience can be inhumane and all, and I’ve been through my fair share of shitty interview experiences. But feeling disappointed about not getting feedback from your performance?

You’d need to assume interview feedback is constructive and relevant to your professional growth, interviewers are well-trained, interview processes are fair, and candidates receiving feedback are capable and willing to act positively on it. From my experience, having all of these factors be true isn’t all that common, and one of these factors is beyond the company’s control.
Exactly; my current manager works this way (no 1:1) and is surprised how in 3 years nobody has ever come willingly to talk about this stuff.

Nobody wants to be the one coming to his boss with problems; nobody wants to be the only team member to go talk about things that probably bother him given that he never asked about them.

Then obviously he has no idea about the day-to-day work that most of us do, the difficulties we're facing, the lack of motivation of some members, the career or personal aspirations of them, the growing idea of leaving the team of others…

If you never ask, there's a lot you'll never know. It doesn't need to be weekly, but you need to reserve some time at least every few months at the bare minimum.
> owning a Tesla one of my medium-term life goals for the environmental benefits

Sorry to jump in but just in case keep in mind that pushing an old ICE car has usually a lesser impact than buying a new one, it can take years until the difference in consumption cover the impact of the building process and the materials extraction and transport.
And that third option is only technically available to at most 10 percent of the population, and most of them have neither the time ("day jobs") nor inclination to spend their time in that effort. And that is discounting the fact that the majority of the buggy appliances you encounter are developed by that very 10 percent in the first place.
First ask yourself if you are the kind of person that enjoys serving others. Do you like to help the less experienced guys? Leading ain't about telling people what to do. So if you aim for that back off.

From my experience having kids helps a lot. Look into your past. Did you enjoy organizing stuff? Do you like to communicate with people? Do you have experience lobbing your ideas?

If you ain't scared of that then go and find yourself a mentor. Best would be if that is somebody you already respect.
I think the section on mics could be enhanced by explaining a little about the different pickup patterns available. A cardioid pickup is a lot more appropriate for these uses than an omni pickup would be. The author mentions the Yeti mic picking up a lot of background noise - I'd bet that that mic has an omni pick up pattern. Some mics even have a small switch which allows you to cycle between different pickup patterns.

EDIT: While I've always known them as pickup patterns, I've just noticed that Wikipedia refers to them as polar patterns. I assume this is a more universal term.

CockroachCloud has public pricing. https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/cockroachcloud/stable/coc...
I agree that these are all subscription services that are per-user and not per-vehicle, but there comes a point where such subscription services are vital to basic operation of the vehicle. Imagine for a moment that one has to have a subscription for a gasoline-powered car to enable pumps at gas stations. Without the subscription, the driver would be forced to buy fuel from stations not affiliated with the subscription service, likely at a much higher charge or more difficult transaction. At the extreme of this example, one would have to carry gas cans with them to fill at these non-sanctioned pumps and later fill their car from the cans, because the non-subscription pumps are forced to use a different size nozzle that doesn't fit the car.

This sounds extreme, but it's the direction we are going with electric cars and and manufacturer-controlled and locked down vehicle systems. I am 100% on board with electric vehicles (I've gone as far as planning out a gas to electric conversion for an older truck), but not at the expense of true ownership of one's vehicle. If Tesla wants to put their brand image above and beyond my complete ownership of a vehicle I purchased outright, I simply won't ever own a Tesla even if they become less expensive than the non-electric equivalent.
