Can we communicate over a private channel? Can share more. Wasn't contractors; was employees. Indeed.

If we can't, my advice to you is to backchannel. See if you have a friend of a friend's who works there, reach out to people via LinkedIn whom you didn't interview with, or find former employees, they will tell you the real story...

I think you're overestimating the mean org depth.

> In fact this would be a good metric:

On a slightly different note: this isn't a good metric. It's a metric of how "balanced" the company is, not the management overhead. If you imagine a company with 150000 engineers and one salesperson, with sales reporting directly to the CEO, hiring more people under the sales director will decrease this metric, while increasing the mean org depth. That probably doesn't measure what you want it to.
Nebraska? The only Midwest place I could imagine with the best hospital in the world would be close to Warren Buffet.
I think you're right that some things, such as integer addition, are quick and don't require a lot of thought, but a lot of teams leaning to C++ stems from larger-scale performance considerations that aren't one-size-fits-all.

A simple example is `std::vector`. The structure is a nice resizable array, but for a long time you couldn't override the allocator and the performance of your application could be affected by heap fragmentation or even just the performance cost of heap allocations. A lot of C++ shops often wrote their own replacement containers that had a better allocation strategy. The design needs of a PlayStation 2 programmer ended up being different than an x86 desktop computer with virtual memory.

We've been penalizing these threads but I'm kind of changing my mind about that (other than that we don't want them very often because repetition is not good for the front page). Unfortunately they tend to devolve into junk, so there's more of a moderation burden.

Edit: this thread ended up making a poor case for having threads like this on HN. Most of it was off topic, and a lot of it went into low-quality rage and even outright flamewar.
Its only good enough when you expect some non-trivial number of the ads to be wasted. If you care about that waste then IP is not good enough.

For some brands, like Disney in you example, spraying ads everywhere is good enough. For other brands that is not good enough, feminine hygiene products would be an example (both age and gender specific where IP alone would be a poor indicator).

Fair point! Realizing I haven't thought about curbside as much as only the larger grocery store chains seem to offer it (though delivery seems to be universal). Farmers market here is doing a pre-order drive-through arrangement this weekend after weeks of essentially being closed.
Minor terminology nitpicking: SEPA is just "Single Euro Payments Area", you're speaking about SEPA direct debit specifically.

These concerns still apply to direct debits, unfortunately. The reason being that there's barely any authorization for direct debits, you just need the bank account number and name. Isn't the situation somewhat similar to CC transactions without 3D Secure/whatever it's called? I seems to recall reading in my bank's terms that I can chargeback transactions for something crazy like a year. You always need a "mandate" to debit an account and if you get that properly signed by the customer, you should be able to get the bank to reverse the reversal, but I can appreciate the bureaucratic overhead.

I was only offering it as a potential solution if getting people to sign up is genuinely difficult.

The thing with PayPal is: they offer direct debit to customers and I'm assuming that's how most people who would've otherwise used direct debit directly with you ended up paying. It is my understanding that PayPal is also aware of the risks associated with this and offers merchants the option not to accept payments through it. I can't seem to find an article just now, but I remember instances where PayPal told me something along the lines of "this merchant does not accept payments via direct debit, please use a credit card instead". I can only assume this is because they at least partially pass on the risk.

The kraken case costs as much as a GoPro, iPhone stabilization isn't as good as GoPro stabilization, if you want GoPro-like wide angle shots you need to pair that case with a $1000+ phone. You're also limited to the capacity of your phone since essentially no phone has removable storage. Ditto battery, although with USB PD that's less of a problem. iPhones also don't shoot log color profile, so color correction is painful for video.

The paralenz can't shoot high frame rate, so slo-mo looks choppy and requires serious post processing. It's stabilization is a joke compared to the GoPro, it doesn't shoot flat color so color grading is painful, it has no screen for checking your framing, and it costs roughly twice as much.

Edit: the quality of the glass in the paralenz is also pretty painful, the vignetting in that video and dynamic range are pretty unfortunate.
> It is interesting to note that the price Musk mentioned was $420 per share while the stock closed at just under $730 per share today and was as high as $969 (EDIT: actually more like $900, see computerex's comment below) per share before the Coronavirus selloffs began.

Yeah, and time doesn't mean anything in markets, so that's somehow relevant.

> I point this out not to defend Musk (he is often an idiot, especially on social media), but to point out that the people still angry about this are likely Tesla shorts and day traders.

That...doesn't even remotely follow from the facts you cited. For one thing, a CEO repeatedly flouting securities rules and thereby triggering sanctions against the firm probably means that the current market price is less thanot would be, ceteris paribus, without that occurring. Just because the stock price has gone up since that event doesn't mean that the event did not negatively impact long positions compared to everything else being the same except that event.

As someone in the Apple ecosystem, the first thing I think when I see a service like this is that this would let me keep doing the type of computing I want to be doing (e.g., software development, and using the big creative apps[0]), while still using devices that Apple is invested in improving (i.e., iOS devices, because they're not investing in macOS, or at least not the parts of macOS that support the type of software I want to run).

Therefore, unless Apple changes course, if I want to stay in their ecosystem (which is debatable), the only way I'd be able to do that is to start using a a service like this.

The way I see it there are three options:

1. Apple changes course and starts supporting powerful software again.

2. All powerful software becomes web-based a à la Figma.

3. Start using services like this.

The status quo cannot continue indefinitely, history has shown that when a popular product stagnates, an external player eventually figures out how to capitalize on it and takes over from the existing players (e.g., see the iPhone vs. flip phones, Firefox vs. IE, Sketch vs. Photoshop).

Ask HN: How are you using Go to write production-grade back end services?
As the title suggests. Interested to see how (and what) companies are using Go to make production grade backend services.

- What are you using for tests?

- Do you use dependency injection or any mocking frameworks?

- Are you using any routing frameworks?

- HTTP web frameworks?

Would love to know the ins and outs! What is good, what do you not like about Go, any pain points? Anything you would want to improve?

Thanks!

Thanks for reaching out. You have a giant feature gap, but also an org problem I think and I would like to explain because I have been trying to get the giant feature gap filled for about 3 years and people there seem to do whatever the opposite of caring is. It relates to being able to test production environments safely, which in our opinion is something every company should do extensive production testing.

Based on many support conversations with me trying to get a feature built here over the last year, Stripe's "official position" appears to be "never test your production application." Sometimes they say "do it but only for $1 every other month", which is functionally the same as saying "don't ever test production." if you don't have any products or services for $1 and do regular deployments.

I understand the reasons why you don't want people using live credit cards to test in production (e.g. factoring), but that isn't what I think most users want to do (it is not what we want to use). We don't want to use real cards at all but we want to test production.

The best answer to customers who want to test in production is to give them the ability to safety test live cards. Please see the attached specification I pulled together which would solve this problem for Stripe, card networks, and your customers. If Stripe cannot implement some feature like "Safe Live Testing", then we will ultimately be forced to migrate away from Stripe. This is a critical feature for us, and I am sure many customers.

https://tidy-static-websites.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Stri...

We thought our integration with stripe was down in production last week, and we could not run any checks to tell if that was actually the case. This would have fixed it for us.

I think there is also a cultural issue here because I believe any mention of "production testing" is currently falling in the compliance camp of Stripe. Which means their job is to prevent fraud, but nobody seems to say "its ok to want this. The response every time from support and compliance teams is basically "you are bad to test in production, never do it." But they instead should say "I totally understand why you would want to test your production site. This is a gap on our side, and we should fix it." If there is an issue with Visa/Mastercard agreements or something, then they should say "I totally understand why you would want to test your production site. We are completely unable to support it because Visa has this rule that says X, we are working with them to change it. Here is how you can contact Visa to express your support for the rule change, we are spearheading a campaign to ensure customers can do this."

I hope this feedback is helpful, and while the "spec" is not very good, I did put substantial effort into thinking through a solution here, so I hope you review it and get it to the right team. I will also email, thanks!
If I should disable hyperthreading because of a hypothetical risk from an experimental proof of concept, shouldn't I also throw my PC into a dumpster because I don't know if the microcontroller controlling my LCD isn't also amplifying and Van Eck'ing my desktop to Chinese and Russian superspies waiting in a van outside?

After all, I'm not _SURE_ I know what it's doing.

Perhaps you don't particularly care about that risk, or you don't feel the risk is plausible enough to warrant the loss of one's computer, which is fair, but the risk is there nonetheless.

I care about my family first though. We now grab the next Wal-Mart spot after every Wal-Mart run. We never used to go grocery shopping every 3 days, but when we can't be sure we can go on demand we make sure that at least don't have to wait more than 3 days to get something. If they had slots available all the time we would mostly do larger orders and use less slots overall.
Since about a week ago data has been coming in from antibody testing in Europe... and the results are that IFR (infection fatality rate) is clearly less than 0.5% (0.37% in one city in germany[1]) and the number of actually infected people at least 15 times to 30 times higher than the confirmed number of cases.

There's always the chance that the test itself is not particularly good and just has a high false positive rate. Although it is difficult for a PCR test to produce a match if there is no genetic material present, it may amplify trace signals, depending on the cutoffs chosen.

While the concept is timely, I remember when much of my browsing used to consist of visiting blogs like this. (It still does, but it used to too.)

Even during the heyday of LiveJournal or whatever, I loved having bookmarks where I could look in on whatever fun/interesting/amusing links people had shared recently. While there are some still kicking, it seems like most of that content has either gone to aggregators or meta-forums like reddit/HN and to the trickle-feeds of Facebook and its spawn.

There's something to be said for a list or RSS feed of these kinds of sites and I think it's a shame they're not as prominent as they once were. I'm glad when anyone decides to put up a new one.
> Consider the magnitude of inconvenience from having your identity stolen. I think it dwarfs any minor inconvniences needed to secure your identity.

It's not as simple as a boolean situation, though. There's not any single set of security steps that a person can take to definitively 'secure their identity'.

It's a gigantic continuum, where inconvenience asymptotically increases as you approach complete security. Everyone chooses some amount of risk which is less than complete security. The only real argument is over which point along the continuum is appropriate. There is no one correct answer, either.

BTW, what do you think of the suggested text I offered near the top of this thread, that UB represents a waiver of the Standard's jurisdiction for the purpose of allowing implementations to best serve their intended purposes? It's too late to go back in time and add that to C89 or C99, but a lot of insanity could have been avoided had such text been present.

Further, instead of characterizing as UB all situations where a useful optimization might affect the behavior of a program, it would be far much safer and more useful to allow particular optimizations in cases where their effects might be observable, but where all allowable resulting behaviors would meet application requirements.

As a simple example, instead of saying "a compiler may assume that all loops with non-constant conditions will terminate", I would say that if the exit of a loop is reachable, and no individual action within the loop would be observably sequenced with regard to some particular succeeding operation, a compiler may at its leisure reorder the succeeding operation ahead of the loop. Additionally, if code gets stuck in a loop with no side effects that will never terminate, an implementation may provide an option to raise a signal to indicate that.

If a function is supposed to return a value meeting some criterion, and it would find such a value in all cases where a program could execute usefully, but the program would do something much worse than useless if the function were to return a value not meeting the criteria, a program execution where the function loops forever may be useless, and may be inferior to one that gets abnormally terminated by the aforementioned signal, but may be infinitely preferable to one where the function, as a result of "optimization", returns a bogus value. Allowing a programmer to safely write a loop which might end up not terminating would make it possible to yield more efficient machine code than would be needed if the only way to prevent the function from returning a bogus value would be to include optimizer-proof code to guard against the endless-loop case.

The existence of for-profit healthcare is reasonably why hospitals have to shut departments in the middle of a pandemic to handle balance sheets. If for-profit healthcare didn't exist, I really don't see how the total amount of money going into a hospital would decrease right now.
An idea on how this could work: repeatedly re-split the dataset (to cover all of it), and re-train a detector on the splits, then at the end of each training cycle surface validation frames with the highest computed loss (or some other metric more directly derived from bounding boxes, such as the number of high confidence "false" positives which could be instances of under-labeling) at the end of training. That's what I do on noisy, non-academic datasets, anyway.

Another issue with encryption is the other aspect of security; malware detection. Since E2E encryption happens at the MUA level, and most spam/phishing/malware scanning is done either at the MTA level or by a gateway, detection becomes almost impossible. MUA would need to do all the extra heavily lifting. Email was designed as a plain-text messaging system. PGP, MIME and S/MIME are extensions to this, but fundamentally, email is still plain text. The key to secure email is not to use email for secure things.
