Ok, fair enough, it sounds like you're genuinely quite content in your feelings on this stuff. You do you.

If you ever change you mind, I think it'll be easier to change yourself than to change the world.
Years ago I sort of did the digital nomad thing for about 8 years in Western Europe, but I managed to spend a good amount of time in every continent but Antarctica. I earned between $25k and $100k a year working about 10 to 20 hours a week and spent most of the money on alcohol and women. I had to work pretty hard the first couple years just to kick-start the whole thing though. The final year was a total blowout and I played video games all day and partied 5 or 6 nights a week. I ended up killing the business through neglect, but that final year of total freedom was worth it.

The bad part was that I ended up in my early 30's with no money, no job, and a very unattractive CV/Resume. The good part is that I was socially transformed. I'm way more confident now, especially around groups of strangers.

I never wrote about this before nor have I ever written a blog, but I met plenty of people living similar lives. Anyway I guess my point is that there are plenty of people out there doing things without blogging about it. But you're not going to meet them online.
to be fair, teams has more users than slack because they effectively give away teams with o365, and then claim all the people who have o365 use teams. Lots of companies use o365 (so get counted for teams) then, use slack as there actual chat app.

With that said, our company recently switched from slack to teams, and its been a fairly annoying change. Teams is miles behind slack in terms of usability.

> List fluffy soft skills like "I am a good communicator" without any backup. Results speak louder than words.

How you bring result/backup about soft skills in a CV? Is already quite hard to get an understanding of hard skill from a piece of paper let alone soft skills.

Unless you think you can condense the complexity of the experience of a person in a two page document.

Also trying to backup something like that with things such as "speaking engagement" etc is not even working. There are people who are "good communicator" for a certain audience (eg. Entry level) but quite bad for another audience (eg seasoned engineers). For example for me a bad communicator is a person that spend 30 minutes to share a concept that can be compressed in 2.
I don't understand why people in central areas of the city order delivery. There are 10 amazing restaurants within easy walking distance of me, why order delivery when I can walk for 5 minutes instead?
And my local Chineese has a phone number, prints a new menu delivered round the estate every year or so.

Maybe throwing billions of dollars of AWS scale microservices isn't always the solution
I went to order Taco Bell on Doordash last night and the fees were crazy high. I added everything I wanted for me and my family and the cost was something like $60. So I packed up the kids and we drove to Taco Bell. It ended up costing $30. There was a $6.99 delivery fee and each item had $1-2 tacked onto the cost. I guess if they charged a $30 delivery fee at least I wouldn't have gotten "tricked" into getting all the way to the cart before bailing out.
The underground hit game 'Black Mesa' can be played on Linux
The market can't discover this when consumers are misled by the delivery services. 10% is reasonable. Let the delivery service add a fee to recover their cost rather than take the food provider's profit. Otherwise, these food providers are going to go out of business (and be bought by the delivery services).
Not a lawyer but in this case it seems like the delivery company is placing the actual end order with the restaurant on your behalf and is acting as the proxy, so any issues you would take up with the delivery company.

The delivery company may or may not have the ability to rectify issues at the end of the month with the restaurant depending on their relationship.
Imagine Google Shopping marks up all BestBuy items by 50 percent. And then you decide to never shop at BestBuy, whether it be in person or online, because Google’s marked up pricing lead you to believe that BestBuy’s prices are outrageous.
It shouldn't have the right to restrict re-selling but sure it's ok to have the right to not sell to somebody anymore.
Well, except for times like the past few months in which delivery and takeout (which is also done through third-party platforms) proved to be an essential service across the world.
I do combine this with other data i read of course.

We do have more data available than just what one farmer experiences.

Nonetheless, what is a good response to it?

I don't have the feeling that just ignoring it or not doing anything is a good approach.
No, because since the beginning of retail stores that is how it has worked and everyone understands that. For food delivery it has always been that you buy from the restaurant and pay menu price + delivery charge. Grubhub et.al. have come along and used that understanding along with an implied relationship to the restaurant to deceive the customer.
Right now, 7 of the 30 stories on the front page (> 23%) have nothing to do with tech. Dang (the moderator) encourages a solid amount of non-tech content to keep the site interesting and diverse.
I don't think you've understood the nature of the borrow checker in Rust. It doesn't add any extra runtime behaviour, in fact you could compile Rust code without running these checks (though I don't think rustc provides you with a way to do so). Rust's memory management tools are no different from C++: you have stack allocated structures with destructors, which the standard library uses to implement heap-allocated smart pointers, shared pointers, mutex guards, etc, and you can hand out pointers to any of these. The only difference in rust is it checks how these pointers get handed out so you don't get use-after-free, data races, etc.
No, I mean exactly that, but tenant_id sounds like a SaaS or a Shopify. Their pods don’t have this kind of scale to begin with, the datasets just don’t have more than a few billion entities. Assuming there’s a “nice natural sharding key” at all already limits scope to a subset of applications, most of which you can stick inside a single instance, rendering the point moot.
It is definitely an interesting editor, and it has some neat ideas. But when I compare the masterpiece that is Acme on Plan 9 with the — frankly — cobbled-together heap that is Emacs … I would prefer to use Emacs, because Emacs does more for me than Acme on Plan 9.

I think that says a lot about the fundamental power of dynamic languages in general and Lisp in particular. Plan 9 is in a lot of ways the zenith (or … heh … acme) of what C and Unix can do. It is awesome, it is wonderful, it is better in every technical way than Linux or true Unix. But it pales in comparison to the hacked-together incomplete Lisp machine that is Emacs.

Imagine how much better off we would be with true Lisp machines on our desks and in our data centres!

(in my ideal world this 21st-century Lisp machine would actually take a lot of ideas from Plan 9, and even some from Emacs)
Oh yeah, that's right. Good point! I just illustrated how unhip I was in the early 90's.
I believe you're correct. I'm not arguing that Ubuntu is now as bad as Windows 10; just that it's a move in that direction.
I find the ddg search results load faster and are better indexed than the MDN built-in search, same goes for most sites that do their own indexing and are also indexed on big search engines.
That's solving a problem they themselves created, though.

People were able to find restaurants and place take-out orders before these apps existed. It's just harder now because these apps have spent big on SEO and marketing to push them down the search result list.
I'm not sure how this law is a problem. There's nothing saying that the delivery services can't increase their delivery fee to make up for the amount they're skimming from the restaurant. The restaurants have a hard time competing if they don't offer delivery, but they make little to no money off the deliveries due to the high fees.

The delivery companies hide their true costs by making the delivery fee seem cheap. This law simply shows the true cost of the service to customers.

If the only way these companies can survive is by leeching money from restaurants with extremely slim margins, they simply shouldn't exist.

No your order is not a loss. Just because Skipthedishes takes 30% does not mean you placing an order is losing the restaurant money.
APY in most savings account changes quarterly so doing temporal comparisons does not have much bearing here.
As in, you should build your User model with the knowledge you'll have referrers and referees, making the experience seamless from user touchpoints.

Often you see some marketing gimmicks overlaid onto the structure of the site with clunky integrations, you need to make it so that your product by design supports referring as a strategy for it to win out.

For example, Dropbox had their referral tech built in (refer someone, get free storage etc...). They set their product up to utilise their chosen marketing strategy effectively at the base level of the product. At least, it felt like it was ingrained.

> If a particular test never finds a bug in its lifetime (and isn't used as documentation either), you might as well as not have written it

That's like saying you shouldn't have installed fire alarms because you didn't wind up having a fire. Also, tests can both 1) help you write the code initially and 2) give a sense of security that the code is not failing in certain ways.

> It tips the scales in favor of a higher-level test that would catch the same bugs without needing rewrites.

Writing higher level tests that catch the same bugs as smaller, more focused tests is harder, likely super-linearly harder. In my experience, you get far more value for your time by combining unit, functional, system, and integration tests; rather than sticking to one type because you think it's best.
> the bug fix goes back to you. Some people will ask "but what about what I'm working on now", you'll have to communicate that you feel your previous work was far more important.

this feels punitive, especially in the eyes of management. unless you're in a safety critical area where fully testing every code path is a hard requirement, people will eventually write bugs.

i'd rather work somewhere that recognizes defects occur and has a fast iterative process to push out new changes rather than one based on shame for having written a bug.
It is unethical only if Grubhub says “I will deliver joe’s 12$ burger to you for a 4$ delivery fee” when the burger costs actually 9$. There’s nothing wrong if they say “I will bring you Joe’s burger for 16$ including delivery.”

In general we don’t expect resellers to reveal their cost of goods sold.
This cap is only in effect during and up to 90 days after the current state of emergency; this isn’t forever.

One can argue that food delivery isn’t really just a “luxury,” but probably best in terms of preventing spread during the coronavirus pandemic.

Personally I think servers are hard to get into because you rely on scoring big deals against Intel/AMD and the shipment volume is rather small compared to other markets.

However, being able to provide decent ML to cars, cell towers, buildings etc at a reasonable price/power budget has the potential for much larger volume albeit at a smaller profit margin. NVIDIA is largely uncontested in ML acceleration so they have a unique selling point in an embedded market that's waiting for big disruption.

This history also means there's a lot of pre-1914 city per capita today. The urban planning of that era has tended to result in more liveable neighborhoods today, compared to districts & cities built from scratch more recently.

They can still charge whatever they want for their fee. They just can't hide their fee in the list price of your sushi.
YO, same, I bet we hung out on Kirupa at the same time haha.

I worked on flash games at Disney, PopCap, Sony and Amazon. That was the shit for a while for 2D games. But I actually went from social to mobile to PC games and found myself less and less interested. Don’t get me wrong it’s very cool code and quaternions solve a lot of the pain so some of the math is frankly less fiddly than 2D, but I wasn’t in love.

It’s been nice to fully pivot towards cryptography and security since I get to work on a lot more projects and do a better job on them. No one cares about bugs in games. Everyone cares about bugs in crypto. It’s nicer for the engineers.

Plus it’s frankly so deep that I have very little risk of mistaking myself for an expert. Even PhD’s only have a narrow specialty, it’s very comforting how hard it is.

On the interest rate side, the 0.20% is the base rate. If you win no prizes, you get that. Prizes comprise the bulk of the value from Yotta. Your total return is prizes + the base rate.

On the insurance side, there are specialty insurance companies that do this kind of thing, similar to hole in one prizes or half court shot prizes at sporting events.

We pay them a mark-up on expected value. Since the risk they're taking is purely mathematical random chance, it's pretty much the best type of insurance for someone to underwrite. There is no uncertainty about what the risk is to them, unlike most other insurance where people are using actuaries to estimate what the risk is, but it's not actually known for sure.
Ask HN: How to manage employee personal blogs?
We're a fairly new start up with < 20 employees in the SaaS sphere.

3 of our employees have come forward and asked if they can write a blog post, or record a podcast, about various technical subjects that might be nominally connected to the development of our product. So far, all of the subjects have been generic technical things (how to manage automatic SSL renewal and deploy to ACM, how to automate testing a native app, that sort of thing).

None of the stuff they want to post would expose any company IP, but our current contract wording is basically a blanket cover-all Silicon Valley contract which states anything and everything you produce or do as part of your employment with the company, belongs to the company, and you're prohibited from talking about any specifics related to the internal operation of the product.

Now obviously I can't see any particular reason why blogging about the above subjects would cause a problem, but we don't want to go down the route of restricting what our employees write about to a company blog (if nothing else because we don't have the bandwidth to check the articles), or gagging them completely from writing anything mildly technical on the internet.

I'm wondering if there are real examples of contract clauses where this has been solved, or how we might go about proposing an addendum to our Legal team, and what such an addendum might look like?
The grand prize of $10,000,000 will be paid out as... $5,800,000? I don't understand how you justify saying (as far as I can tell) "The grand prize is $10,000,000. We reckon you could invest $5,800,000 and make $10,000,000 in 40 years, so we will give you $5,800,000 instead".

The 0.2% is the base (minimum) rate, not the average rate.
Because since infectious diseases don't respect borders, coordination across borders is required to control them. For a pandemic, by definition global in reach, global coordination is required.

The WHO has no ability to enforce any standards of practice, and I am not saying it ought to. Sure, if they are recommending against something, there's nothing stopping a local jurisdiction from doing it anyway, if they think their conditions or capacities differ, or they have access to better scientific guidance. They may be making a terrible mistake, or not, so it goes. This is how it is, and it ought not to be any different.

But if you give up on coordination and cross-border mutual aid, and just say that it's every country/state/city/household for themselves to do what they personally decide best inconsistently with all their neighbors... well, how is that working out for the USA right now?

Should we also eliminate the CDC, and let each state do for themselves? And eliminate state depts of health, and let each city do for themselves? I mean, heck eliminate city depts of health too, just let each household do for themselves. Now different "cultures and viewpoints can be respected", right? That DOES seem to be the USA approach at times; it's not working out very well, because of some un-changeable facts about how infectious diseases work.

The OP is blaming the WHO for not supplying the right information in early January. Putting aside an argument about how (un)reasonable a mistake this was to make under the circumstances, if you're complaining that they didn't warn the world when they should have, how is it possibly an improvement to leave every country on their own to figure out the threat level from any part of the globe without coordination? How could that ever work better? If someone is complaining that the WHO didn't warn the world as early as they should, eliminating them so they dont' even exist to fill that role would obviously not produce a different outcome.
I totally get what you are saying. But it still doesn't mean picking out a very polarizing industry, or any industry in particular, is going to help your cause.

> And solving the issue of organizational pollution will have a much quicker and longer-lasting effect on the environment than pushing people to stop eating so much meat.

You may have a quick effect, but certainly not a lasting one, or a big one. I couldn't count how many vanilla families and teenagers I know that are concerned about straws and plastic bags, but have a pool and fly on a vacation twice a year. The seat on that airplane is probably worth a millions lifetimes of "straw pollution".
You could eradicate all military pollution and it would probably be a rounding error. Jack up an airline ticket prices by 250% and you'll actually see something real. Jack up gas prices in the US by 200% and you'll actually see something.
Industry will happily throw anything under the bus as long as individual consumption isn't talked about.
This is a cap on the invisible fee that Uber and other companies charge to restaurants. It is not transparent or visible on the consumer end that a restaurant is only getting 75% of the listed food prices.

This is, in effect, forcing these delivery companies to be more transparent about their pricing. Instead of charging a restaurant an invisible 25% it will be capped at 10% and the delivery companies will have to move the remaining 15% onto the consumer. Or I guess they can eat the 15% but they can't make money as it is, so I doubt that.

I would be fine if it was instead just a total price transparency law. I think consumers should know exactly where their bill is going. However, these delivery companies are extraordinarily shady and I believe they would leave no stone unturned to obfuscate the fact that they are secretly ripping off restaurants. I think capping the invisible restaurant fee at 10% is the simplest approach to reach the same desired end result.

I suspect MSFT is reaping a huge gain from the combination of business tooling (office, applicaitons, infrastructure), cloud-hosted environments and high-touch customer management.

One thing articles like this always miss, and what I'm most keen on, is how exactly the bridging works. Is there a standard Rust wasm crate that exposes the DOM? Do you pass some struct with function pointers? Is the Rust code exposed as a black box with no connection to the outside world and you just call a few entrypoint functions? Can you call Rust from JS and JS from Rust? If you go JS->Rust->JS->Rust->JS and the innermost JS function throws an exception, is all that properly propagated up the stack?
> The End game is to be the dominant food ordering platform in any given town where you get to dictate rates like 25%.

You fight back by calling your order in and having them deliver it or pick it up yourself. I do this 99%* of the time as I refuse to pay a web server $8+ order+delivery fee for a meal that costs the same. It's absurd to think that people are so lazy that they cant pick up a phone or walk a few blocks/cycle/drive to get their meal.

*save for the rare late night drunk+high AF Dominoes orders.

It's no secret that NVIDIA is involved with RISC V. And don't forget Intel v Ampere (the company, not the NVIDIA chip). Intel is facing incredible competition.
