I agree, but I think there's also a bit more to it.

Thinking specifically of cloud infrastructure, if you run your systems on infrastructure that is also used by your largest partners and customers, then your outages will tend to coincide, so (a) nobody cares that you're down because they're down too, and (b) even if they did care, they're busy enough worrying about their own systems that they have less time to come at you.

An example would be a company specializing in Shopify "apps" running their systems on GCP because that's where Shopify runs... if GCP goes down then Shopify itself is also likely down as well, and you'll get more mileage out of the "sorry, GCP is down" justification (if it's even needed).
I understood that, I want to highlight to others how there needs to be standardization or a completely different approach, as this is all a crapshoot and wasting countless work hours.
I wonder if you can serve directly on a different domain and put CF on the primary?
Several reasons. Off the top of my head:

* This doesn't get you out of cleaning the connectors.

* You'd need very precise alignment to make this work, and I'm not sure our manufacturing tolerances were up to it.

* We would have needed 20 of whatever setup we used to do this. If you're talking in terms of robotics, that's probably the big deal breaker.

* Cables can still break, and getting them out of whatever holder you put them in could be an issue, not to mention even finding a break buried in 600 cables.

A lot of it really just comes down to "fiber optic cables are fussy and fragile," really.
I'd like to see this two margarita interview technique catch on.

I drive a Honda and it has this glitch where it will get into a state when it says "Depress brake to start" but what it wants is the opposite: it will NOT turn on if you are depressing the brake. This once caused a great deal of honking, at me, in traffic.

The purpose of my anecdote is that many carmakers are not great at software development.

> I find it surprising the FCA and GM cars are topping the list, while being notoriously unreliable in the car community.

I'm convinced that nearly every brand is notoriously unreliable in the car community. Toyota is the only brand that seems to escape that mark. Though, Toyota is generally labelled as "vanilla and reliable" so it doesn't get a lot of attention in the car community.
They could send out a notice to old email when they see a recent email change. When people change their email address in a service, that doesn't mean the old, verified email is completely useless.
Honestly I think this can be true at any size organization. Small startups often take the approach of "let's hope no one noticed while we try to fix it", it's just that they have fewer users to notice so it's more likely to work.
The article was edited to add the directions well after my comment.
Sad to hear that. This is likely due to the additional complexity of GPG I guess?

And for several other manufacturers, the infotainment system is also the single largest source of problems, not "faulty brakes" or similar, so it's not like Tesla is being singled out here.

> design issue in which everything works as intended but the learning curve might be too steep.

It could be entirely argued that a design with a too steep learning curve, _especially when intended to be used in a moving vehicle_ is in actual fact a "design issue".
Another anecdote of an incompetent interviewer blindly looking for a certain answer:

I once had an interview where, for a pretty long question, one trivial step was to check that one set was a subset of another set. Neither set had any special preconditions, just two plain unordered Java HashSets. Not thinking twice about it, I wrote a simple for loop that checked if every element in the smaller set was present in the bigger set.

When I finished the question, the interviewer started questioning me about the runtime of the for loop. He started hinting that it could be more efficient, which confused me, since it seemed impossible to check every element of a set in faster than O(n) time. I also didn't see how it was useful to think so carefully about the runtime of such a trivial thing, seeing as the "story" of the problem indicated that the sets would never be particularly large and the task wasn't one that would be sensitive to a couple microseconds difference in runtime.

We spent about 20 minutes stuck on this, with me awkwardly repeating I didn't see how it was possible to be faster and him telling me to just think harder and look at the problem "mathematically", "forget about the code, just think, in math, if you have a set A and a set B, how do you efficiently find if one is a subset of the other?". Eventually we ran out of time for the interview. As we wrapped up, he revealed to me the elusive answer: "Since you're checking if it's a subset, you should use the built-in isSubset() method that Java sets have". Of course, he hadn't conveyed to me at all that he was looking for a specific built-in method, so I thought there was some secret algorithm that I would have to write to make it go faster. I didn't mention that though, and instead replied that even if it were a built-in method I didn't see how it could be faster than O(n) in its implementation. He didn't have response, and just stammered something like "well it's built in and it's actually the most efficient way" and the interview ended awkwardly. Anyways, I had my doubts, so when I got home I checked.

There is no isSubset() in Java sets.

There is a containsAll(). It's implemented as a while loop that runs in O(n) time, making it no more efficient than writing your own loop.

Naturally, the company ghosted me too.

It seems everything has already been said: Most of our problems are driven by population pressure. Leveling off is a good thing, despite potential expense of reconfiguring society and economies (but we have to do that anyway to address climate change!)
Running your own git server is trivial. I have been doing it for years on a very cheap digital ocean instance. Set up ssh keys, lock it down with ufw, done.

If that is not enough, run your own instance of gitlab.

If that is not enough use Gitlab.

Microsoft is going to attempt to make a profit on Github. That's okay, but based on past experience and current issues, their business model is lock-in not service.

I suspect the same is true for NPM.
In the other thread, this was phrased as Tesla not allowing those states to release the information of people who bought a car to third-parties because privacy. I'm sure if you wanted to take the survey in one of those states you can just reach out to JD Power yourself, they can't scrape your information though.
You can use it without any VCS.

I'm merely talking about controlling for variables. If you keep the outfit the same and only change the skin color you'll see a difference. I have no idea which direction the change starts to lean when you change clothing, smell, age and or other factors all at the same time.
> He's learned nothing. Not a self-reflective bone in this man's body.

There's a lot of rhetoric without any actual argument. Unless you are a mind reader, I would suggest refraining from speculating on other people's mental states. Self-reflection is not a trait unique to people who agree with you.
I don't know if you meant to imply this, but if you think having "Javascript" in one place, and "JavaScript" in another is a "glaring mistake," I think you might just be too damn picky.
I think that one size fits all host it yourself / don't host it yourself is the wrong approach. For some organizations that have dedicated devops people and can easily maintain their own servers, they may be able to have better uptime and reliability for their instance. For smaller shops that don't have the time or expertise, I think it us true that GIT hosting is one of the many services that should be handled by a Cloud Service whether Github or Gitlab (or someone else).
> this assumes that right-wing ideology is a pathogen that is uniformly harmful to the body politic (which it may not be)

In the context of the discussion I was treating "bad-faith participants" as the pathogen, which I would absolutely say are uniformly harmful to the discourse. Of course subjectively the far right seems to take this approach more often than the far left, but that's not at all clear-cut and isn't the point I'm trying to make here.
As someone in another field, well what do we do with nuclear waste?

> mom and pops and the sick and the weak have to be sacrified so the economy can keep going and the youth can enjoy their beachtime

Are there no sacrifices involved in shutting down the economy or preventing kids from having normal lives (whether its beach time or attending school)? Are not some of those sacrifices also a matter of life and death?
Think it will become a matter of having enough money. Maybe it'll cost 10X more but as with all these kinds of policies and restrictions, $ will still speak. Since most of the bans you point to are about new cars, I can already bet that the price for used combustion engine cars will skyrocket depending on model. Hmmm, makes me wonder how one could play this market

After some troubleshooting, it looks like it was actually your computer that was slowing everything down. If you could just stay off the internet forever I think it will be fine.
My problem with this infographic and general point of view is that it completely ignores the fact that there is a huge counterculture which not only rejects most of these concepts but also is generally accepting of people of all kinds, and many white people within this demographic are not afforded the same privileges and luxuries commonly associated with "whiteness".

Instead of recognizing these people as not part of the problem, it throws us in with the rest of the "whiteness" and creates major group division, reducing our ability to change things collectively. I've gotten in arguments with a couple of black people here and there about how because I'm "white", I shouldn't involve myself in black politics and have no right to fight for black civil rights in America. Nevermind that I'm 4th-generational Italian and come from a long line of poor indentured servants, and that my ancestor was met with racism and segregation when entering the US. My ancestor was an illegal immigrant stowaway because of racist immigration laws targeting Italy at the time. I fight for them as well as any other person whose family has a history of oppression.

Reminds me of the Niemöller poem...

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist."
would you be willing to study for months, go through mock interviews, read books, test your skills etc. to have a shot at working for us

The vast majority of people who work at FAANG type companies do not do any of this.
Not sure, but possibly, not much? Foreigners are given a pass on many issues. For example, you can easily rent a hotel room with your unmarried partner without a marriage certificate.
I bomb on technical interviews the same way because my mind just freezes and can't get through even simple problems.

I had the same question you mention. "This is a problem a paper was written on, are you expecting me to derive a whole paper from first principles in half an hour, or are you expecting me to have seen it before? If it's the latter, why not let me Google, as I normally would?"

I feel that saying "I would solve this problem with <algorithm>" should be good enough, and if I'm asked to implement it, I should be able to copy paste the Wikipedia pseudocode and start converting.
Yes and to shut down Cayman Islands and Cyprus while they're at it. It goes to show how incredibly corrupt the global elites are that they "can't" shut down money laundering by tiny island nations who would roll over in 5 seconds if told to by someone like the US. The truth is they love it because that's where they keep their money.
Seems pretty mundane, the headphones can overheat while charging in rare cases and it's fixed with a software update. It's not like they're burning people's ears during regular use or catching on fire.

Lots of comments taking the opportunity to complain about Amazon the storefront, and issues with fake reviews, counterfeiting, etc. but that doesn't really have anything to do with this story. Amazon's hardware generally has a pretty decent reputation, from Kindle and Echo that have been huge successes and basically created brand new product categories, to amazon basics cables and batteries and whatnot that are reliable at a good price.

I also have real problems with traveling to interviews since my other half has issues being alone at home hence doing the interview while we were visiting her family. Even then me being gone was highly stressful for her.

Google was willing to let me interview with folks local to us which really helped. I’m curious if more companies will conduct remote interviews in a post Covid world too.
No, tesla behaves just like a normal car. Changing gear is the same as Mercedes, default settings makes tesla same as any other car.

If you will change it's settings to something different than it is have to learn something. Chill Mode + No recuperation + no "one pedal driving" and you will get typical Mazda behavior.

The biggest issue with tesla is that it is freaking powerful if you are moving from other car.
Sure! You just need to form a company, then declare your assets as belonging to your company, and not yours.
That might be true, but you don't usually care about that for ML workloads running on GPU. Bottlenecks are typically elsewhere.
I think I was pretty accurate in your parent comment.

Employees who don't stay long enough to vest (much or at all) don't get rich.

Employees who work in roles like office admin, security guard, janitor, intern, etc. usually aren't offered options (frequently because they are outsourced or independent contractors, etc). I'd wager that engineers, designers, and management are consistently offered options, but most other roles vary. Sales frequently insists on large cash commissions, so management probably wouldn't augment that with expensive early stock options.

There is inherent risk in owning stocks -- you need to time your exit well or a wise purchase in options/RSUs can turn into a financial liability or can significantly cut your profits if you exit the stock at the wrong time. I have a friend who exited FSLY as soon as their options execution turned to long term cap gains (resulting in a comfortable profit), but they could have more than doubled their profits (and been borderline "rich") had they stayed in until peak.

Employees don't always time their options/RSU executions well (because life is unpredictable). There is an opportunity cost to risking startup life at a lower up-front salary than working at a larger more stable company that pays more but offers no stock benefits.

Employees can't afford to execute their options/RSUs at the right time (eg. I could have owned significant CloudFlare stock if I was better at saving money while in university).

Employees don't always spend the money to gamble on options/RSUs and their tax obligations because they don't anticipate the company worth much (which can be a misperception or a lack of trust in management/owners).
Not sure I quite understand.

I did use "FAANG and other top tech companies" as an example, but I'm seeing this practice expand out towards many other companies both in and outside the tech industry.

I myself work at a non-tech company (bank) and even with my team/department, all a referral will do is just get you to the leetcode interview and maybe a slight advantage if the final decision is between the referred candidate vs. another non-referred candidate with all other factors being equal.
An indefinite state of emergency is an indefinite state of tyranny. I don't like any of this one bit. The arbitrariness of the Covid restrictions, quarantining the healthy, the symptomless, and the young, who show extremely low levels of susceptibility...is crazy. We've never approached a pandemic in this way in human history. Even during Spanish flu, which was several orders of magnitude more deadly than Covid, there was a few weeks of shutdown in a handful of cities and mask wearing mandated in a handful of cities for a few weeks at most.

In my particular state, Texas, 3300 have died from Covid. 6 months into the pandemic. Population 27 million. In 2018 we lost over 10,000 to the common flu. At this pace Covid will have fewer deaths than the flu in 2018.

I think they've turned the entire planet into a TSA checkpoint. Asinine process, arbitrary rules, shutting down businesses who have no legal recourse, forcing compliance and huge fines for not doing so. This is all too much. An individual has the sovereignty to assess their own risks. Give people information, but let them make their own choices.

I have yet to hear when these arbitrary draconian policies will be rolled back. The disease may be with us forever. Somehow our ancestors went through Spanish flu, tuberculosis, polio, and smallpox without these sweeping policies. It's quite maddening.
This was done, the whole calculation, again and again, again and again, like this was done for solar pannels and wind turbine.

All the data is there, the IPCC even took the time to vulgarize this part because people don't seems to understand, took the highest evaluation wiht post-70s tech (12gCO2/MWh) and there is STILL people that talk about climate and don't even READ the IPCC document. I don't understand why you would talk about something this important and dont read the BASICS.

Like those climate denialist who "prove" that low atmosphere CO2 will make everything greener. WE KNOW! At least climate denialist have the excuse that this information is not easily accessible [0][1]. Everything else is written in the vulgarized papers, it a two hour-long read top, just take some time to inform yourself!

This is why nothing will never be done and we are hoping for a technological silver bullet, because people rather act like they care about climate than care about climate.

I'm angry.

[edit] spacing, swear words.
Fauci has the enviable position of being objectively correct on almost everything he says, and being correct on a topic that pretty much everyone cares about and can see he's correct.

You can observe the difference in how resilient such a position is against political games and maneuvering, compared to a position that is based in subjective or differences of opinion-based matters (where the each side may have legitimate claims that have to be weighed).

When some issue draws heavily on subjective factors, you play games like this and you will lose against people who are more politically skilled than you.

But in this case, right makes might. I love it.
Any open ended question like

"And completely missing the boat on "right to free speech" != "right to no consequences""

This is the straw-man of all straw-mans.

---> Nobody is disagreeing with this statement.

There's 'no point to miss' because it's not even a point of discussion.

Everyone agrees that 'speech has consequences' and everyone agrees that someone 'calling a Black man the N-word in a derogatory manner' is terrible.

But we are arguing of people can dress up and play characters of another race or identity, or if we can mock people who do bad things by having characters do bad things or if we can literally use bad words while intellectually discussing bad words.

Or how much 'racism' is in the 'out group' using bigotry to attack the 'in group'.

Etc. etc..

The cancel culture arguments are at the margins of hate, not knee-deep.

If someone was doing Vaudevillian Blackface acts to mock black people, there would be 99.99% common agreement that this should be 'cancelled'.
