It's not a mobile constraint. Nearly every desktop mail client also uses a single To line.

I mentioned mobile because as far as discoverability is concerned, there is an order of magnitude more mobile users than desktop users, so the vast majority of users will have no problem understanding this concept.

And if you've been a desktop user long enough that you havent used a smartphone then you're probably used enough software that have similar patterns (and used email enoguh) that you shouldnt have trouble realizing that single To line means you can add multiple recipients to the same line.
I do use Outlook and it works pretty well, but:

- No proper conversation view on desktop.

- Filters (e.g unread) get disabled on every view change (including switching between mail and calendar)

- The mobile client has no setting to stop it from marking messages as read upon changing focus to another message.

- The message editor isn't really WYSIWYG. I often insert paragraph breaks that are gone in the sent message.

- It's generally buggy, like everything Microsoft makes lately.
I think a lot of the complaints about JIRA are really complaints about the organization. I've seen it model really nice simple workflows and complete insanity. Ever seen a workflow with Done, Done Done, and Done Done Done issue states?

JIRA does have a few technical failings. As you pointed out, its performance can be a problem. Additionally, as a normal user, I find its search lacking. If I want to find the story I worked on 6 months ago that involved adding middle name to the user table, I'm better off hunting through my commit log or my notes than using JIRA search.
“Part of the compensation is being part of this family,”

I grew up in the 80ies and communities were much stronger then. We had a community run iceskating course during winter, community run 'neighbourhood'-house with games, music etc. We supplemented our schools budget by collecting old paper every six weeks, people just showed up and did the work together ( teachers, parents & kids ).

Our municipality had a very nice pool-complex and library. All gone. Somehow this is all too expensive now.
Because “we are family” was never meant literally. Companies will day and do a lot of things to get the most out of their employees, including emotional manipulation.
Alternatively, don't send HTML email and use plain, monospaced text to send tables padded with spaces.
I've flown a lot domestically in my life, but because I live in the middle of the US (Houston), I've almost NEVER been on a super large plane like a 747. I'm kind of sad about that.

In the last few years I've been on a few big Airbus planes going to the mideast or the UK; they're nice. But they're not the icons that the 747 was.
Given the examples of promoted API usage, it doesn't seem to have any backing away from their stance that they don't want third party clients. Add to that their API pricing was as I understand it not feasible for any new client app used by end users which gets any serious amount of usage and needs to move to paid tiers.
+1. Wish I could make it +10.

SAP is such a pain. Our org got married to it years ago and there aren't budgets big enough to undo it. At least it's stable enough.

Oracle is another ballgame -- they're just terrible.
If no law was being broken then investigation sounds like harassment to me. While it could be annoying there are a lot of thing that are annoying that are no illegal. I'd love to take away the power tools from my neighbor but they are not doing anything wrong and should not be subject to official inquiry just in case they could be.
Q: Is the described effect moderated by blood pressure? In other words, if one's blood pressure is higher, does the systolic effect rise in intensity relevant to the neurological processes discussed in the article? I would guess so but the article doesn't really get into that.
It means that places that aren't hit as hard by the Brussels effect (America) become more attractive origins of imported goods (chlorinated chicken).
To be fair, so was literally everybody else since FT published its story about this in January 2019 and Singapore raided Wirecard offices in February 2019:

https://www.ft.com/content/284fb1ad-ddc0-45df-a075-0709b3686...

So this seems like a complete non-story.
I interviewed with Ludeon, the company that makes Rimworld. The process was fair. It starts off with slow, light questions like on the game itself, general game design.

Technical interviews were lots of small questions like the definition of X, where X is something common, like threads or classes for example, or the difference between an array or list. Those aren't the exact questions, but it's not jargon, and if you used it, you would know. There were enough questions to sort of test if you were the type of person to look into improving yourself, but not so few questions that it unfairly judges you for missing a few.

The algorithm one was really good. Instead of something generic like pathfinding, it covered how to solve an actual problem that they faced.
Agree. This seems like a poor attempt to marketing themselves "better".
Why can't Airbnb do furloughs - take the amount they hope to save through a layoff, and have all employees not work for some x number of days each (staggered so as to not disrupt operations), so that the pain is shared, rather than borne by the laid-off few?
Most corruption stats that I have seen are based on perception of corruption. If people perceive it as dodgy but legal, or if people view it as the odd bad egg, then it won't affect perceptions, no matter how rife it is. If it doesn't affect perceptions, it doesn't affect measures.
you have a dataset of images and you write code (labeling functions LF) to label the images. Snorkel handles the pipeline but more importantly corrects the conflicts/correlations between the LFs. The output is a supervised dataset w/ mutually exclusive labels a la softmax classification.

the labels are noisy, but you have a quantity that you could not get by humans, AND at a faster/cheaper rate. they provide analysis arguing that, for discriminative models, quantity CAN outweigh quality.

to your point it's not typically used w/ the image-only modality. It's mostly used where there is some meta-data attached.
I’m curious why you find it to be a great feature. Being unreadable doesn’t mean meaningless, obviously, so as far as I can tell, unreadable just means it’s a little more hassle to figure out what it means.
Fracking producers in the US act as a cap or brake on prices. When prices hit $50/barrel, some oil shale becomes profitable and comes online. When it hits $60, more does, and at $100, even more, etc etc.
Explicitly, the mechanism for that would be a furlough.

Not so explicit, but most laid-off employees are "eligible for re-hire". That assumes, a) the company re-opens your same position, b) you still want to work for the company and haven't found a job in the interim, and c) that "economic situation" improves quickly to allow for the above, which it probably won't.
Actually, you can disable shadow dom on Stencil components, which I ended up doing in my own code because it then nicely integrates with my favorite server side framework, that still does most of the work.

What is it exactly that you can't pre-render ? That's not very clear to me. You can put any kind of content inside your web-component tags:

<your-paragraph><p>your test</p></your-paragraph>

If the browser is recent enough to support TLS 1.3 (which we all want to move on too don't we !) then it is recent enough to support web-components for sure.

So, that's pretty much how I see it: browsers have to upgrade for security reasons, if we're getting features like the ability to do some components without having to load a fat frontend framework, components that integrate perfectly with my favorite server side framework, then my question is why: why should we not haz nice things ? we're getting them for free after all ! Without even webpack to make a 1MB bundle ! I'd like your help to better understand what's the bad news here ...
If you've been using Mutt, the concept of multiple recipients itself is a much harder process of discovery :)

Ironically, I am moving from Thunderbird to Mutt (NeoMutt actually). I find the elimination of HTML means it's actually easier for me to not get distracted by stuff I dont care about for email, which is interaction with real human beings, who are unlikely to be typing complicated HTML messages. Besides, with the right config (I'm still working on it), the HTML message is 1 shortcut away.
I posted this on Reddit as well:

Great article. I would have liked to see Dataflow get a shoutout for event-based workloads, but it's a little more ETL-related than this article is covering.

The "scale to 0" likelihood is a great rule of thumb for choosing function/run over gke.

I'll say that we do one GKE cluster per business domain, giving us 10 or so clusters with only 5 teams depending on how you count them. It doesn't seem to be too much an issue (although I'm on the application development side, not cloud ops). It's all set up in terraform.

It’s not concerning, or even worth trying to solve the mystery, to you that we can’t identify a fleet of flying drones that are not from our military and that seem to be slightly more advanced than current consumer drones.(hovering silently for hours in high winds/storms). That’s just not worth your time? The drones could have been doing any number of nefarious things, but let’s not worry about it right? It could have been a foreign adversary for crying out loud.
Frankly the biggest problem with twitter is journalists taking it seriously and abjuring their actual jobs of explaining what's going on in the world in favor of low effort no-information bullshit like "person X said Y on twitter." Literally nobody else with a life and a day job does. It's the comments section they removed from their websites.

The "muh stock market" argument is stupid; there are punters who take it seriously, and obviously, it's a great vola signal for automated traders. So what? Rumors were propagated before twitter and will be propagated long after it goes the way of other useless companies like pets dot com.

GrabCAD. It's free, simple cloud-based version control for CAD files. I don't think they actually offer an enterprise (on-prem) version anymore but I would still consider it enterprise software.

The only alternatives are network shares filled with v1_v2_final_edited filenames and very expensive, SAP-level of complexity and JIRA-style approval workflows.

Unfortunately they are owned by Stratasys, the Oracle of 3D printing and the product is barely maintained. When it was acquired they made it free. It was meant to become the github (in terms of de facto standard for public repositories) of 3D CAD, and be an inroad to 3D printer / 3D printing service sales. But that aspect never took off, Stratasys is bleeding marketshare and an at any time I expect to login and see that the service is discontinued.

Getting off-topic but I'm interested to see if there are any replies:

For all software engineers reading this, I can't state how behind other engineering disciplines are compared to software. The equivalent to git or SVN or even CVS never appeared as standard practice and there is barely any middle ground between no version control whatsoever and formal change control boards (which is no version control whatsoever except at a few milestones and if you're lucky you can verify a change to the milestone by checking a paper or dvd).

Outside of software, academic spin-offs tend to start with good practices, such as markdown or latex files for documentation, which work well with version control, but never seem to make it more than 5 years before they reach a state of no control / word documents.

Electrical CAD is becoming better, with more software-background hobbyist and more open source tools arriving. It helps that design files and manufacturing files started to converge in the 80s due to early automation and thus tend to be text-based and diffable. Mechanical CAD on the other hand tends to be somewhat incompatible between vendors and binary in nature. The open source alternatives (FreeCAD and OpenSCAD) are a decade away from providing 1990s features and hobbyists have free licenses to proprietary software (eg Fusion 360) so there is very little pressure to make a good tools in the open source world.
We're running into this issue now. It will be at least 2-3 more weeks of having a cable monkey trace everything in our colo's.

If they're a family, why not give everyone in airbnb equal shares?

Because it's all bullshit, whether the founders realized it or not.

Also, a family doesn't get their members to sign nondispargement agreements, unless it's really disfunctional.

That kind of evil is a cult, not a family. Remaining Airbnbers would be wise to ponder those agreements and how ominous they are.
Not just that, Guttenberg was also a key figure in the "Augustus Intelligence" corruption scandal of Philipp Amthor.

Just to balance out things a bit: most of the sightings were dismissed as either aircrafts, stars or other lights [1]. It may be worth reading the actual released documents rather than take the cherry picked quotes from them. My 2c.

Edit - Just to be clear: this is not about drones being spotted, there may have been small drones flying at night. This is about reports of drones with a large wingspan flying in formation around a 'mothership'. These sightings have been investigated and dismissed [2].

It very well could use both mechanisms, which I neglected to think about. I only think endocytosis is important because that specific mechanism uses ACE2 and heparan sulfate (which can be blocked using heparin I think).
The impact of meta-tracing on VM design and implementation (2007) [pdf]
Mindlessly ambitious networks of people who care about themselves more than anything else exist in all countries. Google distribution of personality types within a population. They are weirdly similar across cultures.

Where resources are low and there is not enough to go around for the most ambitious and driven, there "punishment" for wasting each others time and resources is more extreme.

If Facebook or Google or Twitter, one day in the future is sophisticated enough to label the most "corrupt"/"corruptible" individuals in a population based on all their data how would you "punish" all of them if it is 30% the population?
Hi Brandon, nice work! Some questions to learn more if you don't mind - are you using Tacoton2 for the voice generation? If it's Tacotron2, are you using a base model before you train up new speakers, or is each speaker model trained from scratch? How long do you run the training for normally (for both cases), and what hardware are you running?

You mentioned elsewhere you're renting the V100s, what services have you used, and would you recommend them?

By the way, your Trumped.com is throwing some errors in the console so the site isn't working for me.

Keep up the good work!
It's not all bad. If your economy depends on simply taking money right out of the ground, the government will make sure that's done, but with zero accountability.

An economy with more diverse interests will also be one where no interest has total power and will need to explain itself.

Edit: yes, the transition is gonna be painful.

I'm not certain if that was a joke or not. Calling altruism immoral certainly qualifies as intuitively immoral behavior.

Even if one excises Ayn Rand's infamous politics and personal hypocrisies, and even everything which doesn't follow from claimed principles it isn't very workable. Rationality is a measure of sanity more than morality even if there may be some overlap in that a perfectly rational actor wouldn't display gratitutous cruelty.

Granted everything we have is also imperfect. Pure intuition can easily fall into nonsensical superstition and prejudices like Pythagorean hatred for beans and irrational number denial and rationality alone. There are plenty of "serial killer organ thief doctor utilitarianism" arguments but those first order calculations fail to consider the impact of it inevitably becoming a known thing in society. Being incentivized to shoot a doctor if you wind up alone with one is a larger net harm to society in addition to the obvious deterrant to being a lone traveler. Those silly exercises aside rationality alone is insufficient it lacks goal definition. One may rationally persue extinction of all life in the universe or maximizing human lifespan.

If a sub-goal is linked to another goal it can be found to be irrational if inconsistent, if painting your dog won't make your crush love you dog-painting isn't a rational goal. But if you want to just paint your dog for the sake of doing so (please don't) it can't be said to be less rational than another goal even if it is more or less obtainable.
yes, I really did play with it multiple times. Its just sometimes I require more revisions.
Doordash and Thousands of Other Companies Passively Send Your Data to Facebook
I'm assuming LPDDR? I think the goals between the two are a bit different. I think that embedded gets quite messy since it's particularly targeted.

I think the important bit of info is that they work for a bank, not that they write CSS.

If I look at the equivalent compensation for people who work for me, the vast majority of developers in the UK and US earn > $100k. Like for like the US employees earn more but that's almost wholly swallowed up in other costs (basically healthcare and our US healthcare plan isn't particularly bad).

And the FAANGs and hedge funds, in my experience, have a reasonably similar dynamic.

The simple fact is that we generally don't hire for PL knowledge except in very specific circumstances (KDB for example). If all we wanted was a coder, there are much more cost effective options than hiring someone, regardless of location.

This is pretty much an open secret for anyone following the price of oil, but how can Aramco still brag about producing for less than $10 [1] a barrel while the kingdom is openly hurting from the current prices ?

It reminds me of one of my first jobs. "We're a family" yadda yadda yadda... They told me my contract wouldn't be renewed during a meeting which was initially planned to talk about a salary raise. Adding insult to injury they waited until they were legally obligated to tell me even though they knew much earlier that it was going to happen, what a great family.

A job is a job, that's it. You'll be treated like waste as soon as the money runs out.

They tried with artemisinin and it was a very notable failure. The science worked but the economics didn't add up. The main reason is because chemical drugs are pretty easy to synthesize (even from plants) and that synthetic bio doesnt give you any advantage over traditional methods- if anything you get lower throughput. You cant solve a human supply chain problem with new technology if the same humans are making the same decisions about their operations. Synbio has been overhyped to hell and back as a silver bullet. Tech VCs have eaten it up and donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the cause because the biologists running these companies have gone out of their way to convince people that they can program biology like computers, whatever that means.the big synbio drug manufacturing company is gone, the big biofuel companies are gone, that's hundreds of millions of dollars from the market trying to adopt this. I'm saying all this as the founder of a synbio company by the way- in the past few years we've finally started coming down the hype curve with Joule's implosion and it's wonderful. 10 million dollars invested in promising new approaches and markets will help the field out a lot more than 100 million invested in an overhyped company blowing it all on rent in cambridge and promising to produce more fuel per acre than physically possible with the amount of sunlight available.
Ask HN: How does payroll work in US?
I’m trying to do a TCO type analysis of income, taxes and what you get for your money in Sweden and US and it strikes me I have no clue how payroll and taxes work.

In Sweden, a decent salary is 50 kSEK (salaries are negotiated per-month rather than per-year). That is pre-income-tax, post-social-taxes.

Company cost per month: 50kSEK salary + 16 kSEK payroll tax + 5 kSEK private pension (optional but 99% of all employers offer this)
Employee income: 50 kSEK - 15kSEK (tax)
State gets: 15kSEK (income tax) + 16kSEK (payroll tax)

The above is a bit simplified, but accurate. Major benefits are 30 days off, 400 days parental leave, free health care, free college.

How would the company cost/employee income/state income look in the US?
Seconded. The search is bad, and Confluence feels unstructured, but with tight security.

It was better than DokuWiki, for sure, but DokuWiki was free...
