Some people must have really thin skin if this is what causes them to leave a company.

Liberals are such crybabies - in literally every company I've been in they keep whining if anything doesn't work the way they want or not according to their values.

Silicon Valley culture is poisoned by this state of mind and renders any honest discussion impossible.

Let them leave if they're unhappy, I know a few conservative engineers at FB NYC who won't miss them.
There is no point discussing anything about the UK's brexit process until the deadline is either passed, or imminent, as has been shown time and time again. The transition agreement the UK is currently in was meant to be 21 months originally. The UK spent 10 months of that time deciding whether they actually agreed to have the 21 month transition.
The intention of this post isn't to "hit hard" it's just to remind people who may have forgotten and are in positions of hiring power that there are a lot of people (devs/non-devs) unemployed or furloughed right now through no fault of their own that should be considered before throwing FB employees, who are some of the highest paid in the valley, parachutes.

Yeah, I'm in the US and only have relatively vague knowledge from some youtubers, and my response to this title was along the lines of "well, duh".

From what I remember the terms set by the EU would've put the UK in a worse position than what caused Brexit in the first place, making people steadily lean more and more towards a "just get it over with, no-deal Brexit".
Yeah and recently a lot of Chocolatey scripts are calls to a number of standard helpers for various types of installers. Not a whole lot of arbitrary commands being used.

Having something like YAML seems cleaner than the Chocolatey approach, but there are almost 8,000 Chocolatey packages and it works pretty well. Implementation > architecture here.

Sometimes following rules-of-thumb blindly will make things worse. This is one reason why we call them "rules of thumb" rather than e.g. "laws."

Another example: if you are shipping over a million units, then adding hardware to simplify software starts to look like a bad trade-off since BOM starts to dominate NRE.

In this absurd definition of "safe", then nothing is safe. Drinking too much water will kill you, hence, water is unsafe. Driving is unsafe. Living is unsafe, since you will die. But go ahead believing what you want to believe.
So who do you hold responsible for the publishing of your comment? YC? @dang? Yourself?

If it's one of the first two, your comment will be queued and reviewed by one of the many editors that YC will pay for to review each individual comment to ensure it does not incur liability on their part for publication.

Do you believe you don't need to compromise morals to work at Google? They're not the most wholesome of companies. You pretty much need to compromise some morals to work just about anywhere. Just Facebook stands out as being more than most places in this regard.

Your rant is unhelpful and applies broad stereotypes and assumptions to a lot of people. You also strongly imply you've never worked at a SV company, so you don't even have first hand experience here.
> Six Flags should be required to ban people who, for example, wear Republican candidate T-shirts to the park

That is a strawman.

They are advocating that Six Flags should ban people who draw swastikas on the carts, even when those people are in office, or seek election.

The American origins of the Nazi eugenics program
I hate the attitude that tradespeople should get paid less than white collar professionals, it takes the same to finish an apprenticeship as a bachelors degree, it's skilled work just as much as computer programming or accounting or law (incidentally the only time I needed a lawyer I would've been better off representing myself, he was literally worse than useless). I pay my barber $35 for a 20 minute haircut, he certainly cuts my hair better than I ever could, and I write code better than he can. We all have our role in society.

A large proportion of professionals are completely incapable of doing the work that tradespeople do, most people can't even replace a tap washer on their own, let alone replace the transmission in their car. It's conceited and elitist to think you're more valuable than somebody else just because you have the luxury of sitting in front of a computer screen all day. It's not even an intelligence thing (which I think shouldn't matter at all), plenty tradespeople are just as clever as programmers or accountants, they just don't want a job that keeps them cooped up in an office all day. Especially when it comes to trades like electricians or plumbers, where you're still diagnosing problems and creating solutions, a good tradie is worth their weight in gold.
The idea that this doesn't happen is a bit laughable. Of course the choices you make of employer matter. They've always mattered, and they will continue to matter, because they represent exactly what your values are worth to you.

Do you want to force every company (not just software ones) to release the entire business details, processes, designs, contacts, experience... for every product they sell? Do you want to force every company (not just software ones) to give each customer an easy way to clone every product?

Because for software-only or design-only companies, that is what it means.

There are alternative means to make companies behave, like regulations, certifications, inspections, fines, contracts, etc. in every other field. Why software/design companies need to be different?
I'm not sure how threading is relevant. CGI inherently requires a new process per request, regardless of any choices you may make about threading.
The reason they don't want to leave Germany is Berlin is only place they can find people like themselves.

There is a reason Berlin is famous for leaving work at 6 pm on a Friday, going to a club, and exiting only at 4am next Monday to go back to work.

Not saying this is good/healthy thing, but Berlin has history of being the hotspot for misfits. That is why a lot of Germans or even Europeans move here.

Ask HN: Unrecognized Google Cloud charge – scared to chargeback
Hi all, updated with the same question.

ORIGINAL:
I recently found a charge from Google Cloud on my credit card statement (small charge ~$20) that I didn't recognize. Asked friends + family, no one has used my card. Checked GCP and firebase, no usage or charges.
I filed a report here (https://payments.google.com/payments/u/0/unauthorizedtransactions#)

And they closed my case stating that it was not an unauthorized charge without stating what the charge was for. Since the case is closed, I have no way to contact them. At this point, I would usually just chargeback the company, but it's Google. I've heard of Amazon shutting off access to their entire platform and products over disputes/chargebacks and I can't afford to do with Google since I have emails and such going back ~15 years.

What would you do in this situation?

UPDATE: I submitted the form again (shortly after my post here) with the same CC charge ID asking for more info, and they closed my case again. I checked my CC statement today and found a new ~$30 charge. But again, I literally checked all my GCP accounts and I can't find any usage anywhere. At this point, should I just cancel my card and chargeback? I'm still scared of retaliation by Google, but I'm also now fearing the possibility that my card's been compromised and I should act instead of counting on receiving a response from Google.

You face the trolley problem every day. You keep far more money than you need, knowing that people will die today without it. You would categorically dismiss a law requiring healthy people to donate organs for those who need them.

The point isn't to change your mind about that. The point is to consider an example that has some similarities and ask why you reach an opposite conclusion. The insights gained from that help clarify the human moral instinct. The project is to understand how we think and feel, not to dictate what we should think or feel.
I have deleted my FB profil so, I am living without it since 2013 and I really don't feel I am missing social life.
> And is the assertion that Microsoft took code from AppGet as part of WinGet? The fact that the word "copied" is in quotes makes me wonder what the beef is...

Agreed; reading the article makes it sound (to me) like they copied his "idea" rather than actual code.
Agreed. I think the larger issue is the hypocrisy.

I think it’s totally possible Facebook can have been censoring things that don’t break their TOS for years, individuality at FB can be punished in favor of groupthink so attacking them for company actions isn’t right, I also don’t need to like FB in any way. The world is grey.
If those comments had come from Average Joe in Wichita, Facebook would most likely have censored them.

Are we arguing that some users are just too important to adhere to the site's terms and conditions?

“The Second Gate: The Places That Have Not Known Love

There is another entrance to grief, a second gateway, different from the gate connected to losing someone or something that we love. This grief occurs in the places often untouched by love. These are profoundly tender places precisely because they have lived outside of kindness, compassion, warmth, or welcome. These are the places within us that have been wrapped in shame and banished to the farthest shores of our lives. We often hate these parts of ourselves, hold them in contempt, and refuse to allow them the light of day. We do not show these outcast brothers and sisters to anyone, and we thereby deny these parts of ourselves the healing salve of community.

These neglected pieces of soul live in utter despair. What we perceive as defective about ourselves, we also experience as loss. Whenever any portion of who we are is denied, we live in a condition of loss. The proper response to any loss is grief, but we cannot grieve for something that we feel is outside the circle of worth. That is our predicament—we chronically sense the presence of sorrow, but we are unable to truly grieve, because we feel in our body that this piece of who we are is unworthy of grief.”

“The Fourth Gate: What We Expected and Did Not Receive

There is another gate to grief, one difficult to identify, yet it is very present in each of our lives. This threshold into sorrow calls forward the things that we may not even realize we have lost. I have written elsewhere about the expectations coded into our physical and psychic lives. When we are born, and as we pass through childhood, adolescence, and the stages of adulthood, we are designed to anticipate a certain quality of welcome, engagement, touch, and reflection. In short, we expect what our deep-time ancestors experienced as their birthright, namely, the container of the village. We are born expecting a rich and sensuous relationship with the earth and communal rituals of celebration, grief, and healing that keep us in connection with the sacred. As T. S. Eliot wrote in The Waste Land “Once upon a time, we knew the world from birth.” This is our inheritance, our birthright, which has been lost and abandoned. The absence of these requirements haunts us, even if we can’t give them a name, and we feel their loss as an ache, a vague sadness that settles over us like a fog. This lack is simultaneously one of the primary sources of our grief and one of the reasons we find it difficult to grieve. On some level, we are waiting for the village to appear so we can fully acknowledge our sorrows.”

A Head to Head Comparison of JavaScript Physical Quantities Packages
It's unfortunate to hear all of this from Beige's perspective. But the optimist in me thinks this is probably just a big company focusing on a release and putting everything else on the back-burner. That doesn't make it right, but I want to think this isn't an example of how Microsoft wants to treat the community moving forward. I think AppGet, an officially supported package manager, should be a core feature. It needed to happen one way or another.

But the lack of UI to browse/search I think is too lacking so I put this up a few days ago: https://wingetit.com -- I imagine Microsoft is going to copy/replace this soon, but I won't mind.

super late to the thread but i hope you read this. I'm in the high power rocketry scene and liquid engines are out there in the amateur world but uncommon.

You don't see many flights though but there's plenty of test footage. I think one main reason for lack of flights is that Tripoli and NAR ( the two main self-governing bodies for high power rocketry ) currently do not insure bi-propellant rockets at their events. Another reason, is configuring the engine for flight is complicated because of the tanks and pressurization required. It seems like most amateurs run out of effort or money once they have a working injector, combustion chamber, and nozzle. The last mile ( tanks and pressurization ) seem to be out of reach mostly.

btw, if anyone has an engine they want to fly I will happily build you an airframe! :)

Sounds like those big meanies in the EU are negotiating and defending their interests. What a bunch of jerks.
As opposed to the right wing crybabies that just last week where crying about the right to get haircuts. After all, having someone else to take risks for their benefit seems to be part of their values.
The current settlement is unstable and the uncertainty it causes will ultimately (given enough time) cause more damage than a 'no deal' outcome. Therefore while knowledgeable people can disagree about timing, it nonetheless means that worst-case scenario for the UK is not the one the EU wants it to be.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.

A family member honestly proposed to
me the other day that “hate-speech” should be banned. As well intentioned as that person is: I asked her, who do you want to decide which speech is hateful? The president you don’t like? The Supreme Court that he’s appointed many members to?

Neutral laws that protect everyone’s rights are that way for a reason. So when YOU are in the minority, you don’t find yourself in a compromised position.

Policing/deleting is not the same as pointing out factual information in the event of falsehood. Facts are not biased or have any political affiliation.

I agree with you. We should not police free speech. That doesn't mean we should allow falsehood to sail rampant in broadcast media. Any broadcast media should be held accountable if its spreading blatant lies to disinform and uproar conspiracy theories.

Free speech shouldn't mean irresponsible speech.

You have no idea why people have stayed and/or how their minds have changed over time. Everyone has their breaking point and this could very possibly be it for some people.

Also, your quote should be attributed to Upton Sinclair.
Personally I waffle on this myself. My instinct tells me it’s bad but then I try to decide what trading cadence I would limit it to. Assume there is a CEO who wants to do something nefarious to manipulate the stock price. If they make a decision how fast can a company actually act on it? Would or could they make the company act on 1 hour boundaries? Even if we limited trades to once per week is that the long term we want a CEO to consider? At what time frame does a stock stop being a stock and convert to something else? Then I decide even by minute trading is not really something that management can even consider, even if they want to, so there is really no point to artificial limits imposed by law and take a more laissez faire attitude.
This doesn't make much sense.. the FOSS clones also exist on Windows and OSX.

An example of this is bot-detection.

All the major social media sites face the problem of malicious bots, and to my knowledge, all are secretive about how they combat them.
This is the most ignorant one can be. Facebook always have been deciding on behalf of every one of its users.

The only difference this time is the decision these employees want do not line well with FBs long term goals to reap off of its users.

I think we are well passed the point of the Federal govt doing anything. The future is feudalism. Guys like zuck and Bezos are the barons of the old.

SRE: Alerting on SLOs
In general it's easier to verify the security of the installation (not the code itself) if the package is configured via manifest instead of script. That's because you've preemptively restricted what the installation could possibly do, at the cost of flexibility. There are also some other specifics that are easier to implement via manifest than asking maintainers to implement via script, like supporting private app repository hosting (common enterprise feature). I suspect that's why WinGet went with AppGet's approach instead of Chocolatey.
That's what I hear. Maybe that's why there are so many startups in Berlin? I hear you can live in Berlin without speaking any German. There's quite an international community there.

Problem is, Berlin isn't where the money is -- Munich is. So startups get started in Berlin and get funded in Munich?

> Imagine discriminating based upon the employees work history. Who the fuck are you, mate?

Last I checked that's time and time again what companies hire on based on every study, lol.

Your issue seems to not be at all with prior work history, but hiring based on ethics. Given how much that is applied to arguments here on HN that are relevant to technical work, that seems at the very least like a valid factor that can absolutely effect work.

As to your example, the big difference here is that you jumped to a conclusion about the person's activities that doesn't seem very reasonable to assume based on their employment history. The parent went company worked at -> tacit acceptance of their actions as a company (again, there's nuance here that should always be explored) -> possible negative effects on future job.
Seems like plenty of people read/heard about it anyway.
My guess, is that both methodologies should be combined.

Let the focus be on productive discussions while also ask for the users attention to the moderation done.

For example, every X time show to the user the forum space where all the moderated content is.
