Ask HN: Examples of Industrial-IoT consulting firms or solution providers?
Do you know of any consulting firms or solution providers that specialize in Industrial IoT? I know this is an exploding field but these companies seem to stay under the radar.
Same thing here in Czech Republic - you go to a comparison website, check the prizes, availability and reviews of both the think your are looking for and the shops selling them. Then you pick a shop and go to their website (in some cases there is also integration for buying directly via the comparison site).

The main Czech sites:

https://www.heureka.cz/

https://www.zbozi.cz/

It kinda seem like Amazon has been a bit too successful in some parts of the world, to the point people can't imagine alternative online shopping workflows.
This looks like a fun project. I might try building one myself this weekend (or doing a word search, maybe). Thanks for the idea
It’s my understanding that qualified immunity was created by the courts; there is no law or constitutional clause that explicitly forms it.

I’d say that Congress should pass a law to wind back qualified immunity, but I fear they’d just make it worse.
> The issue isn't the demand. Everyone agrees across the isle that treating every ill would generally be great. The issue is who will pay, how will care be given equally, and how will the level of care be maintained or increase?

Canada and Germany seem to be managing just fine, and I pick those two examples because they have vastly different health-care systems.
Yet billions of years in, until we arrived, there was no failure to be sustainable. We're the first species to potentially cause a global extinction event (arguably we already did)
I was once one of these panelists. As one, I represented 0000’s of other people via their extrapolation. While my experiences at the time (2009) were common, they did not represent that of many of my fellow unemployed colleagues and friends. In other words: these surveys are guesses. Nothing more... take them as estimates only and know that the truth is always different.
I really don 't understand why media outlets lately try to damage the reading experience with all the weird scrolling stuff. They do excellent journalism only to make it barely readable. Does anybody find this stuff actually good?

On that topic, Cuomo just declared that among the last batch of infected people in NY, more than 80% were apparently respecting the lockdown and staying at home and we have no idea how they were even contaminated. Puzzling.
When I like to reminisce, I go back and look at my recursive code.

So much of my code is boring, flat, procedural code, because that's what the job calls for.
I know it’s not much, but every time Amazon’s recruiters send me an invitation to apply for a position with them, I respond saying that I won’t consider working for them until they treat their warehouse workers better. Of course it helps that I am happily employed and not looking for a new job.

> This is incident shows AWS engineers have significantly more leverage than their coworkers in warehouses.

I disagree. He had leverage because of his title, and probably because he has a Wikipedia page about him (i.e. he's a noteworthy engineer). If a random anonymous AWS engineer quit tomorrow, it won't make the news. If a significant number of them do, then Amazon might start panicking...

In that topic, is Facebook still toxic to SWEs?

On the second pass of subject, one could definitely go deeper or now compare it to all past exposures.

I see this as a constructivist technique that could be great at framing context. Without context ideas cannot adhere to the mind, so getting students to breakdown a system into all the pieces starts them on a metacognitive feedback loop. Done right it could be amazing, done poorly and its like an elementary school play.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

This case was gratuitous, I agree. But sometimes the animations can be extremely helpful in weaving in complicated data into a narrative. Think graphs that highlight the relevant lines, etc.
Is there an option for clicky keyboard switches?
Yes. However, there are some upsides: having an auth token which from the perspective of the browser is limited to auth, makes it more explicit when the browser is passing an auth token to the site: if the browser shows a "Log out" button, then you're providing that auth token--if you didn't log in to a website and suddenly you have the option to log out, that's very obviously weird. Of the perhaps 10 sites I visit on a regular basis, I only even have logins for 3 (email, Reddit, HN) so other sites would be slightly hampered in tracking me.
"Information" is probably the most representative category, which shows an unemployment rate of 11% in table A-14, compared to 3.5% a year ago.
Seems you're getting steamrolled by the anti-amazon public opinion that's so popular these days, but I feel you are at least partially correct with the moral positioning. They can both feel they are working for good at the same time even from opposite sides without either being wrong.

I'm not sure Tim is grandstanding, as much as suffering from the (IMO weak and easy to accuse) burden of campaigning for the little guy from a position of power. We shouldn't always require that change come from the bottom up or the very top; he can possibly ignite it far faster and meaingful than either.

> with Facebook it's a private company doing the censoring and there's no issue with that

Whether the company is private or not is immaterial. What matters is its scale, and how much you can actually avoid it.

Facebook is not easily avoided. I personally went under significant social pressure to get an account and actually use it. Getting out had a measurable cost (not being aware of events that mattered to me). That's not too bad, but even then I'm cheating: my SO has an account, and I regularly profit from that.

Same for YouTube: they have a near monopoly on most western audiences. If they block something, that's near censorship. Next to it, most alternatives might as well not exist at all.
> Or is it literally that cache invalidation is hard?

It's literally that cache invalidation is hard. You can also think of "cache invalidation" as a substitute of concurrent programming: keeping multiple related threads of logic synchronised.

>Isn’t cache invalidation on a completely different level as naming things, both conceptually and in difficulty?

I'd say it's on a conceptually different level, but not less difficult, and because "naming things" is easy, it's more insidious.

From my point of view "naming things" is a substitute for architecting software instead of coding your way out of dead ends whilst inventing a lot of off the cuff names in the process. (of course, in the current climate, such ad-hoc solutions are now the standard, called "design patterns", and people find names that have "Factory" in them twice a normal thing.)

I like it, when used with care. I think it works pretty well in this article, and it's been used to very good effect at the New York Times.

After seeing so many posts on Finland recently, I feel an obligation to emphasize something (as someone who used to live in Finland): While it's safe, affordable, and definitely one of the best places to raise a family, it's nothing to romanticize. If you're not Finnish/Swedish, there's a lot of implicit racism and it's an upward climb for many aspects of life. I was speaking with someone pretty high up in the DNC: if you're an ambitious refugee, America is still the best place for you. You can drive taxis, pay for your education, and become a software engineer without anyone questioning you. I literally know a handful of refugees who got free education in Finland but were denied most job opportunities because of systematic racism.
No neximo64, if you want a civilized discussion you can't encourage people to throw around worthless statements and accusation and then sit back, pretend everyone else must scramble and provide "a concise rebuttal", and imagine you must be right because nobody had the time to waste.

The only reasons to adopt this "drop a bomb and let the others firefight" strategy is if you're here exclusively to troll, or you're simply unable to support any of your statements. This makes for very low quality conversation.

This way discussions don't turn into an avalanche of drivel, insults, and fake news while everyone expects someone else to be their babysitter and prove them wrong.

I've had friends who worked in Amazon warehouses. They've all been puzzled by the news stories about bathroom break issues and unreasonable performance targets, because it doesn't match their experience at all. When a company reaches Amazon's scale, I have no problem believing that someone, somewhere, was mismanaging a team. I don't believe it's the norm though.

As for recent events, the complaints seem to be that Amazon didn't implement enough COVID-19 countermeasures early enough, and that their implementation of COVID-19 policies hasn't had perfect coverage. From https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/10/21216172/amazon-coronavir...

> Smalls, 31 years old and father of three, had worked at JFK8 since it opened in 2018 and Amazon warehouses in New Jersey and Connecticut before that. It’s a good job, he says, with good benefits, and he hadn’t had any complaints. But in early March, he became concerned about what would happen when the virus reached the warehouse with its 5,000 employees.

You can read more anecdotes in the article. I fully believe the managers involved in those incidents should be fired, but I'm still not convinced that those negative anecdotes are the norm across all of Amazon.

Ah, yeah I don't have IPNS running right now. Also my website is not up to date on IPFS right now... maybe I'll resync it today. Anyways, this is a shortcut to it https://notryan.com/ipfs. IPNS was annoyingly slow (30+ second resolves) due to how it functioned in the past. So I stopped using it. I think they changed this in 0.5.0 so it might be better now.

The blue banner was just a hack where the referenced jpeg loads if available. It's a call to url("http://127.0.0.1:8080/ipfs/QmX63Pan72CB2vMhNiFMKxKgEhmffbkgE... which is a Monet painting I like.

Basically, if you've got IPFS you'll see a bar. If not, you'll see nothing. Did that at least work? If you had `ipfs daemon` running in the background on port 8080, you should've seen something.

I think the problem with LinkedIn is that it is exhibitionist by its very nature. Your audience is not just your co-workers, but potential employers, so most people say the things that are accepted within that group ( though it could be argued many groups are like that -- even HN to an extent ) and/or please prospective recruiters.

I agree about one thing though. LinkedIn was the only place when I was straight up 'attacked' by random people, who did not agree with my opinion. All of a sudden, all my posts started talking about coke I do and whatnot. It was a weird experience for me, but I immediately stopped all actual conversations on LinkedIn based on that.

The risks are not worth it.

NoSQL is a much more diverse category than RDBMS, so it will depend on the specific NoSQL DB you are talking about.

How has demand for chips looked over the past few months? Has it been enough to potentially necessitate from a business perspective keeping output high?

Guess what? Those few million? They won't be contributing to the economy either way, even without the coronavirus - because approximately all of them are over 70.

This virus takes the old and the sick.

So yes, a lot of people talking about reopening have assessed how much economic damage that 500,000-3,000,000 deaths would cause - and it's not much. Arguably, it's negative due to reduced health care costs.

There's a lot of reasons to avoid killing off our old and infirm. But economics is generally not one of them.
