Anthony brought self driving tech to Google, and that's why we have Waymo. Him leaving was an actual competitive threat to them. Look at Don Burnette and others who have since left. Google doesn't give a shit about them and they have AV companies that have raised millions of dollars.
I came here after reading the article to ask the same question as I do worry about it feeling weird.

The middle ground I've settled on is to say something like: "I'd love to meet, either give me some times that work for you can pick a time from my Calendly [link]" and then most people go for the Calendly link.
Many PaaS offerings do some version of this, but we're targeting companies who aren't using PaaS. Specifically companies that are in AWS natively (other could providers coming soon). The reason for this is they are the ones who tend to need to build this from scratch and the market for companies in the cloud is... well... huge. They tend to want PaaS features but have to build it themselves. That's where we are headed. There is also a market for those that need to move off of PaaS due to complexity or technical needs that those PaaS offerings don't support. We think this is a sweet spot.

As for Docker, we choose that because it's kind of table stakes now. We didn't initially start here, we were thinking more inline with what you were saying initially about Glue between VCS and Terraform. But as we started engaging with users, it was clear that Docker, and more specifically docker-compose was the starting point because what we lacked was a good definition of the services people wanted to run and we didn't want to invent something new for this. We do see a place for Terraform in the near future in our offering.

We also had the good fortune of running into Ben Firshman (founder of Fig/docker-compose) recently and he told us what we're building is what they had envisioned in the early days building Fig. We just brought Ben on as an advisor to help us think through that vision and to also help us with our open source strategy. Because, as you mentioned, we believe that open source is going to play a critical role in how we evolve this business.
No, it's certainly not perfect. But, not being aware of a solution that's perfect, I've had to content myself with something that's merely better than anything else I've tried.
Are records structural in Standard ML? What happens if you have multiple records with the same structure but different names? I thought structural typing of records was not very useful without row polymorphism.

I deposited a cheque using the ScotiaBank mobile app on March 1, and when I looked at it on my online banking page, it said that it was deposited on March 2!

Seems hard to believe that a mobile app would be allowed to tell the server what time the cheque was deposited!

Not if he bought a mansion in Florida early on.
True, at least for formal proofs. I was thinking more of traditional mathematical proofs, which are often as hard to formalize as programs are to prove correct. In both cases, convincing yourself that the proof or program is correct involves reading it and seeing whether each of its parts follows from or fits into the other parts to make a coherent whole.

Of course, there are ways to fool the reader, but I think people learn to avoid writing in ways that are likely to mask errors (e.g., not reusing the same symbol to mean completely different things, both in proofs and in programs).
And bankruptcy doesn't actually discharge the debt if you have assets-- it just gives you breathing room and a formal legal structure to work with creditors on just what % is possible, who gets paid first, second, etc.
The Golden Rule of Git [1]

The fact that a) there even needs to be a golden rule, b) it's not obvious c) not everyone knows about it ... and I'm sure for many other reasons is a very strong reason to be spooked.

Git is like uranium, powerful, but so many don't even know what they are getting into.

Or maybe it's like C++ - really dangerous, but after a while, you learn to avoid most of the pitfalls and then it starts to feel 'ok' even though such pitfalls shouldn't exist in the first place ...

At least they can see it, instead of the code being in an entirely different branch.
The comment that prompted the question stated the opposite probability - 99% chance of death, not life. That changes the odds quite drastically.
Yeah, this is exactly right. I put up something on Github awhile back that compares different approaches in more detail, if anyone's interested: https://github.com/jiaweihli/git-workflow-strategies-example
> but you shouldn't rely on people being elbow-deep for noticing problems in real time.

I completely and unreservedly agree.

> that's a bug in automated monitoring

As part of incident review, we explicitly added a "review monitor performance" step. My favorite part is that the number of times monitors are created, adjusted or complained about post-incident is in itself a highly useful datapoint.
You don't need blankets or elaborate decoys.

You just need to stand in front of the truck and don't go away. You should start far enough away to give the truck enough road to stop. On a wide highway you will need more people to block enough lanes.

Definitely a driverless cargo truck should not hit a human.

Works with human drivers, too. So if it was worth it, such heists would happen often enough for the public to be aware somehow.

Probably the risk / reward ratio is not good here. Transporting the loot secretly must be especially problematic.
I'm not asserting he did either, there is a lot of grey there for sure. I'm saying that's the message a lot of people will hear from this result, for better or worse (my opinion is worse, but it's nothing more than my opinion). I think we agree here.

They didn't give any reason for preferring Standard Time over Daylight Savings Time.
One question that nags me is why did people move so much?

Pop density was _very_ low. So I can’t think they exhausted foodsources and it can’t be that they hunted favorite pray to local extinction and were forced to follow...

So I guess they kinda liked to be separate from other clans to avoid strife? Or as a pop reproduced they have halvings and one of them had to migrate and one had to remain?

The "interesting" thing is that entangled particles allow the player to win 100% of the time. There is _no way_ sharing only classical information before the game to guarantee 100% win rate.
His company existed for a seven months in 2016 before being bought by Uber. It isn't clear (to me) if there were third party investors or what the cap table was, broadly. Purportedly 90 employees at time of sale to Uber.
Okay, so what's the best option? It can't be them lol
Andy Rubin might be a creep but at least he didn’t steal intellectual property.
I think they were surprised that store-bought tomatoes had viable seeds. I would have been kind of surprised by this too, but a quick google suggests that while some commercial fruit and veg is deliberately made sterile, it's probably much less common than I thought.
Marriage is an investment. If you buy high and sell low, you are going to have a bad time.
No really, there is also a physical response, and the actual emotional state of being anxious. You can feel anxious without knowing why.
Uber paid that. As mentioned in the Reuters article -

Waymo confirmed that Uber had paid the $9.7 million owed by Ron, as Uber indemnifies workers under its employment agreements. But Uber had said in financial filings that it expects to challenge paying for Levandowski, who is fighting a federal indictment on charges of stealing trade secrets from Google.
Yes. OpenVPN makes it simple enough that I could figure out how to modify the default configuration I was handed.
The mental precedence list I have is:

* Name operators (e.g., a::b, a.b, a->b)

* a[b], a(b) expressions

* Unary suffix operators (C doesn't have these, but Rust's ? operator applies)

* Unary prefix operators

* Arithmetic operators, following normal mathematical precedence rules (i.e., a + b / c is a + (b / c), not (a + b) / c). Note that I don't have any mental model of how <<, &, |, ^ compare to each other or the normal {,/,%}; {+,-} rank.

Comparison operators

* Short-circuit operators (&&, ||)

* Ternary operator (?:)--and this one is right-associative.

* Assignment operators

This list I think is fairly objective, although C and some of its children "erroneously" place bitwise {&,|,^} below comparison operators instead of above them. The difference between suffix and prefix unary operators is somewhat debatable, but it actually does make sense if you think of array access and function call expressions as unary suffix operators instead of binary operators.

Fun fact: Youtube's revenue in 2019[1] was just slightly less than the combined revenue of all box office ticket sales[2] for the same year.

I don't know either. The backlash has been really amusing.

It's ranged from engineers claiming they can't work without streaming music to backend office staff saying they need YouTube to help them understand how to work Microsoft Office.

gMail is an interesting edge case, though. I keep a tab open all day long as well as do probably a lot of people. But it's not for company business so it seems like that's not a place to complain. But people are.

Seriously, to any of you CEO/CTOs tuning in out there: the next time you're lining up a RIF just block Netflix for an afternoon and tag the people that complain to IT. There's your low-hanging fruit.
They likely just don't want to identify their regular account as a Microsoft employee.
My citation says 66% of US Bankruptcies are tied to medical issues. Which of our citations is right?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/02/11/thi...

You’re quite clever in saying that bankruptcies are caused by lack of income. I suppose more income would solve 100% of bankruptcies lol

Ask HN: Owner wants to buy out my 1.5%, what do I need to consider?
I would love suggestions on what to consider when making the decision of whether to sell my stake in a company.

Background:

I am a 1.5% partner of an LLC that I worked for about 5 years ago. The owner called today and offered me $4500 for my equity.

I've been spending all night reading about multi-member llc's, capital accounts, distributions/draws and our Operating Agreement. I've watched my capital account grow each year from negative to where it is now at $3200. I believe in the owners ability to continue being profitable.

I would love any advice on how to think about this or for any pointers on what I need to consider. I'm not a lawyer or accountant so much of this is brand new to me.

Thank you for your time.
Didn’t he make tens of millions at Google as an employee as well? That is a lot of money to blow through (plus) assuming a nice chunk of Uber stock from Otto.

AWS pricing changes over time (although they are careful not to trap or antagonize customers with changes like this one). You linked to a static blog post that has a price from the past.

> We need competition in this space.

Hard to compete against a free service like YouTube. You'd need to build out your own infrastructure if you want to deliver videos cost-effectively, you'll have to build your own ad network to make any revenue, and even then you'll need some way to draw both content creators and users to your service to have any chance.

We had some competitors, but Vimeo effectively gave up and is marketing for B2B, and Twitch's video upload feature doesn't work since they haven't pushed hard enough for it (a huge marketing push, some UI work, and exclusivity deals on Twitch's side would go a long way if it can get any initial momentum).
In my ignorance I once pondered a model where [rather than teams] everyone gets their own object named after them. Something like JohnDoe.sortTable(foo)

(Besides from being a stupid idea on so many levels) it seems fun to reason about: John doesn't sort the table properly. When John gets hit by the bus you have a really good idea what you've lost. You also get to identify the productive and unproductive.
That's an asset.

In Australia, in Queensland, we've been trying to get this outdated state to start using daylight savings for years.

95% of the population is in the south east.

In summer, the sun is up at 4:30 AM, which means the birds go off nuts at 4 AM. Sunset is at 6:30 PM.

On a side note, listen to this little as@#$%^%^*, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5SIs08k8uk and imagine him screaming out your windows at 4 AM.

Growing up in Europe, I remember the winters to be dark and miserable, but in the summer we had sun till 9:30 PM.

There are many true and false arguments PRO and AGAINST DST.

The worst I've heard is "it will upset the cows with feed times" and "it will fade more curtains".

The best argument I've heard against DST is that it would put the kids coming home from school outside a sun-hour earlier, meaning there is more UV and it is warmer. That's a valid case against, seeing it's so bloody hot here in summer.

Another case, PRO DST study concluded that the lack of DST causes people to drive home in peak hour with the sun in their eyes, causing more accidents.

At this point, I think DST is still a good thing. It's good for the economy. We don't go out to have dinner in the dark, for example. But I'm getting too old to care.

This article's arguments are very thin in my books.
"What I'm asking of you is to be less cynical about what actual art and artists and be genuine in the search for meaning."

There's a typo here, and I honestly am not sure what you're trying to say. I will say this: I am not a modern art hater. Far from it, I love modern art, and I go well out of my way to enjoy it. My complaint is entirely with the ham handed descriptions of pieces that require no descriptions at all.
I’m not a Levandowski fan (although he was a brilliant engineer) but Travis Kalanick should probably write half that check.

This is how automation actually progresses. It's not bam, one day, truckers are replaced with AI that's equally competant at driving. Rather, day by day, the amount of freight moved, per unit cost/human effort, slowly decreases.

Much of this efficiency has already occured in terms of routing optimization.
ANY time I see figures about how much money or economic activity some piece of legislation generated, I value it at precisely zero.

There are no accounting standards for it, it's never audited, it's just people throwing out a narrative.

I was also frustrated by the article's lack of elucidation on that matter. I think this is about as close as we come to an explanation:

>[T]here is a discrepancy between your biological clock and social clock, which researchers refer to as “social jet lag,” Dr. Roenneberg said. Permanent standard time is closer to the sun’s natural time so social jet lag is reduced, he added. “Daylight-saving time means that we virtually live in another time zone without changing the day-light cycle,” Dr. Roenneberg said. “The problem is the misalignment."

Which makes sense on its own, but it doesn't account for the variance within time zones. A Chicago resident experiences sunrise and sunset about an hour earlier than a resident of Lubbock, Texas, even though they are in the same time zone (Central). So you can't really say that Standard Time is the one-size-fits-all solution -- and indeed, the Illinois Senate just passed a bill [1] to make DST permanent in that state (although it is hamstrung by the same federal regulations that other states face after passing similar bills).

You're missing the point. Reliability and Performance are features in Financial markets. It is a key feature for brokerages which they constantly advertise to differentiate themselves. These companies lay undersea cables to shave off few milli-seconds latency and pay a very hefty premium to be colocated in the same DC/rack as the stock exchange. Therefore Performance and Reliability are inseparable.

Nobody is debating whether people will continue using RH and that was never the issue. RH has massively damaged its reputation and reputation _is_ everything.
I do the same. Except I use Common Lisp.

Joke aside, I use parentheses liberally. Even if I know operator precedence it saves me from errors when I edit the code and another person reading it might not know precedence rules perfectly.
It eliminates the sizeable premium that previously attracted skilled labour to the instability of contracting. Without premium, why bother with the risk?

I thought the point was that they can't perfectly share information. So, they could both zero knowledge proof their way through "we share common knowledge" but be unable to directly prove it due to a halting problem.

It seems like the only way out of this without a huge infection rate is a government mandated stay-at-home period. It probably requires implementing martial law.

Tech workers going WFH seems like it will be totally ineffectual by itself.

1. Most other workers can't afford to take time off, aren't permitted to, or can't do their jobs remotely.

2. Schools aren't implementing study-at-home yet.

3. There isn't mass testing in place yet.

For #1 it seems like we need some kind of massive billion gov disaster insurance bailout to compensate people. And someone still needs to do essential services, so a skeleton crew needs to be paid overtime and tested regularly by health officials.

For #2 this could be done tomorrow if it was ordered by health departments. The main downside would be people being forced to stay home from work, but at least this problem can be mitigated by families/friends.

For #3 to be implemented at the scale of millions of people, would probably require deploying the US military going up and down streets requesting samples.

Anything short of a stay-at-home period seems like it's guaranteed to get us the majority infection rate that will kill millions, mostly our parents and grandparents but a large number of young people too.

The damage to the economy of this could be huge. It seems better to overreact now, pay a huge bill ($1+ trillion, if need be), and prevent a massive loss of loss and/or economic depression.
