Yes, you're right, RSUs are better as a signing bonus, in a bull market. (In a bear market, plus a harder job market, you would have been better off locking cash in for your comp - if switching jobs after a year would not get you an equivalent RSU/cash grant)

Once the four year vesting cliff is done, though, the annual top-ups aren't much different from cash (Because if the stock inflates fantastically, you will get fewer RSUs next year).
Damn HN has no notification system!

Interesting story. A Pakistani who is willing to get settled in Malaysia in coming years, I was wondering what kind of things I could make for the local market which made me to ask the question.
Everyone building no code tools is learning or will learn that the problem most businesses have is not a lack of coding skill, or the inability to build the algorithm, but rather how to structure and model data in a sensible way in the first place.

Wow. I know lots of people -- myself included -- who escaped the city for an AirBnB. If you're working remotely and have a little cash to burn, why live in the city, when you can live in the mountains or by the beach for a little while? But I suppose the overall decline in the travel industry far, far outweighed that possible bump.

Am I wrong to avoid writing O(n^2) code if at all possible when it is fairly easy to use hash tables for a better time complexity? Sure when n is small the O(n^2) one will be faster but when n is small /anything/ you do is fast in absolute terms so I'm trying to not leave traps in my code just waiting for n to get bigger than initially expected.

Like any company's employees: they're all different people! They each have their own reasons for where they work and their own goals and ambitions.

Any job you take is going to be a blend and balance across your personal passions, values, talents, desire for impact, financial goals and responsibilities, risk tolerance, and alternative available opportunities.

Is it so surprising that one of the largest employers in the bay has attractive opportunities across a range of reasons?
Given that there's broad agreement on what consent is and very little agreement on what exploitation is, that's always going to be contentious.

Maybe with a labour monopsyny? I guess we don't want the big mining company in the small town to run down it's workers. Whenever I think of the best argument for unions, I think of small towns subjugated by mining companies or mills. But a ride-share company with competition in a big city?
Okay let’s take this one by one :

Germany’s per capita GDP has also stagnated: Thats because you chose the date as 2010. I was comparing to the 2008 peak and in comparison UK has gone down but Germany is up. The UK does somewhat worse than the others.

Now on top of this stagnation Brexit will make it worse because you will lose the vast majority of your trading advantages. There’s no magical resurgence that’s going to happen.

As for empire nostalgia as someone who moved from a colony it’s actually quite evident in the politics here. That there is some magic sauce in this tiny island which will allow it to somehow return to glory all by itself.

A poll by YouGov showed that 27 % of Britons want Britain to still have an empire. Closely followed by Netherlands at 26 % and France at 17 %. So these people exist. They are not a fantasy and there’s polling data to show it.

My point wasn’t that they vote for brexit because of the empire. But it feeds into a sense of exceptionalism and megalomania that goes into decisions like Brexit which the vast majority of international observers of the situation agree is a very foolish decision.

It’s just like voting for Trump. Everyone outside the US could plainly see the idiocy and hordes of people would descend to defend it while every passing day exposes it for the foolishness it was. Same will be the case here.
Or maybe they just don't do that kind of thing. Color revolution are American specialty.

> The founders of the country would shudder at at the size, scope and over-reach of the government...

I don't think they would (not all of them). Jefferson would for sure, but this is basically Alexander Hamilton's utopian dream. The world he wanted to create. Congrats Alex, you won, everybody else lost.

I agree w/ you that the govt is wasteful. I wish we had where states provide all the citizen benefits and also received the majority of tax revenues, and the fed was a lot smaller and even states managed their own armies and the fed just borrowed soldiers from states for international purposes. Basically their own countries just unionized over interstate commerce and such.

> AT&T are both utterly clueless and shameless liars

Seconded. We had AT&T Fiber a few years ago, and were having techs out just about every week to fix it and were given a nonsense reason like "this cable was loose" each time. Once we got fed up and canceled service, the tech told us that corporate fucked up the install for the whole neighborhood so they'd basically send techs out, tell them to lie, and have them add whatever bandaid was needed to fix it for just a little longer.
It turns out rule 5 (Data dominates. If you've chosen the right data structures and organized things well, the algorithms will almost always be self-evident) is both true but also hard.

Eric Evans' Domain Driven Design is a good book on the topic.
One of the crew members was injured. It would be difficult to bring down a helicopter with small arms, but the crew inside are definitely vulnerable, probably more so over Manassas VA than they would be overseas as they're not looking to be shot at here.
Rule 5 seems to mirror one of my favorite insights from Alexander Stepanov:

> In 1976, still back in the USSR, I got a very serious case of food poisoning from eating raw fish. While in the hospital, in the state of delirium, I suddenly realized that the ability to add numbers in parallel depends on the fact that addition is associative. (So, putting it simply, STL is the result of a bacterial infection.) In other words, I realized that a parallel reduction algorithm is associated with a semigroup structure type. That is the fundamental point: algorithms are defined on algebraic structures.

This is also exemplified in the analytics infrastructure used at stripe: https://www.infoq.com/presentations/abstract-algebra-analyti...
The goal is not exclusively to conquer the consumer chip industry.

Ability to manufacture strategic chip industry is also very important.

Remember the sanctioned big Chinese facial recognition companies?
They do not really need 5nm chip for their product, I think 14nm can also work (albeit performance penalty).

Also, PLA, if they ever need to manufacture AI chips for whatever reason, they need to manufacture them in mainland for supply chain security.
Actually, no. The number of legitimate uses is still the same. The market share of those uses have simply decreased in relation to the uses causing the new spike in demand.
I mean, we can all agree, I imagine, that many pages have too much JS. But then what do we cut? My idea of what's "useless" is probably different than the people cutting my checks. Saying pages don't need "unnecessary" JS is tautological but not really illuminating. I do think there is plenty of reason lots of people would benefit in their work from single-page applications, not to mention video and audio that would dwarf the JS anyways.

> I would repeat my earlier claim that the specs nowadays are more for implementers

Right... but that's not what anyone here means when they talk about the w3 compared to MDN. They mean w3schools.
If you look at the supplemental figure S1 here: https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/suppl/2020/08/07/sci...

You'll see that the N95 exhibit an order of magnitude greater reduction than surgical (99.9% vs 99% reduction against no mask baseline). Whether this practically matters, I don't know. If surgical masks are much cheaper/easier to manufacture, then I concede that those should be the focus.

However, my point still half stands. Most cotton masks perform poorly. If AA was basing this policy on empirical effectiveness, they would ban those before valved N95.
Yep, Digital Ocean (as well as Azure, Rackspace, and others) offer TimescaleDB with their managed Postgres offerings, but they can only offer the Apache-2 version.

So you don't get native compression, continuous aggregates, downsampling, etc., many of which make the Timescale Cloud version actually less expensive when considering capabilities (e.g., 50GB on Timescale Cloud can store akin to 1TB elsewhere and have faster queries, continuous aggs mean faster and less-CPU to run dashboards, etc).
So their dev plan is $116 in US West on AWS.

I don't know Azure but do know AWS. PITR restores are not in seconds but in hours and you lose data.

"... a user-initiated point-in-time-restore operation will be required. This operation can take several hours to complete, and any data updates that occurred after the latest restorable time (typically within the last five minutes) will not be available."

Failover with AWS is generally 1-4 minutes? Someone fill in the blanks here?

* The smallest multi-AZ with failover MSSQL you can get runs $1,503 on AWS.

* Undifferentiated Postgresql is pretty cheap - you should be able to get failover for about $110 or so there.

I'm just pointing out that commercial / differentiated product offerings (which is what this is), beyond just basic postgresql costing so LITTLE for HA would actually be somewhat unusual.

In enterprise sales these prices for HA are so low no one would even know how to contract for them. What happens is once you need this level of uptime you can afford it (in most cases).

Quick feedback my side - $150/month to try something and then $500/month in production is not unreasonable for I think a fair number of use cases. Making the "try it" pricing as cheap as possible, and feature limiting is a good thing I think so the onboarding step is easier.

Folks with money to spend are used to sometimes TERRIBLE support despite spending big money on big players. One thing these smaller places have, if you are giving them $10K/month - they usually answer the phone or email! A secret benefit.
It breaks the intended semantics of the <details> and <summary> elements though: A post is not a summary of its replies.

> The law was written to target Uber, because Uber was in compliance with the existing laws....

> The state wasn't able to get the result it wanted in cases against Uber, so it changed the rules. I don't see how a company can be expected to be in compliance when the state is determined to pass laws that make its business model illegal.

You could say the same thing about the laws that banned companies from dumping so much pollution into the environment that rivers would catch on fire (e.g. https://ohiohistorycentral.org/w/Cuyahoga_River_Fire). Many, if not all, those polluters were likely in compliance with all the laws and rules that were in effect at that time, then they found themselves out of compliance when the law changed.

Laws are changed when an undesirable result is observed that happens to be in compliance with all current laws. The bug is patched with a new law, and the companies have to either figure out how to make their current business comply, or pivot into a new business because of the changed environment.
The legislation followed popular opinion. The housing was built to satisfy market demand. If no one bought single family homes, fewer would be built. Every person was a kid, and raising kids is by far more comfortable in single family homes.

IIRC Facebook has more than 100 privacy engineers (it's been a few years since I spoke to recruiters there). Facebook has challenges, but it also presents an opportunity to work on security and privacy challenges in way that doesn't exist in many places in the world.

Interpretations of other peoples values is largely skewed by their perception, and rarely takes into account the practical realities of working on privacy and security in tech.
Being right in the middle of that I have to say I'm surprised by a lot of the investors we've talked to and how they seem to want to fit everything into easy, simple and existing templates. Basically, risk aversion. The big downside of that is that that means non-innovative (not novel/new). Non-innovative projects usually doesn't work out - after all, they're not innovative.

So, in other words, investors are looking for non-innovative projects (due to their blind risk-aversion). Why would you do that? If you are looking for low risk, index funds are available. There are lots of options if you want to spread your risks. I guess the simple answer is most I've talked to simply aren't that smart (as investors anyway)... :/

But they're not, for many reasons.
I don't think your point about the handling fee rings very true. If you followed the news at the time when it was added you would know that it was put in place to counter the huge workload that came with handling all the packages from cheap Chinese online stores (like Wish). Before that PostNord almost never charged for handling packages from outside the EU. The same can not be said about DHL, UPS and Fedex who ALWAYS make sure to charge extra for handling any package from outside the EU, almost without fail.

It makes sense in my mind that the buyer should be the one to pay for the handling of what they buy. I don't want to subsidise your shopping/shipping via my taxes, they're high enough as it is.
First off, I upvoted you, and I wish people wouldn't just downvote.

That said,

> Half of those are classes of bugs that would probably still exist with the usage of Rust, that is, they're simply a diversion from what you expected and what actually happens that the borrow checker can't save you from.

It's unclear what you're referring to. The linked article is talking about vulnerabilities in QEMU drivers, which are almost exclusively memory safety issues from my own experience and memory. The post you're replying to is just about tools and techniques for avoiding them.

> but it is also important to consider the amount of time it actually takes to implement either.

No one has said otherwise and the article even explicitly addresses this.

So I find your point really unclear.
I thought Viacom bought them in the mid-80's. From what I remember, they didn't start running "reality" shows until the mid-90's and they didn't stop showing music videos until the late-00's.

Maybe my timeline is a bit off though--my memory for pop culture stuff tends to get a bit jumbled after 10 or 15 years.
Did you learn it on a old mechanical typewriter?

People at my school used to do that. I did not care about carrying that X kg suitcase with me every Friday to school. Being already active on irc already at young age, at some point i got so annoyed of typing so slow and while typing missing what was being written on screen by others, i simply forced myself to look at the screen and type. Progress happened quite fast and that was most encouraging to keep going.

But 90-110 words per minute, that's blazing fast. Think i'm stuck at about 60 words per minute (https://typing-speed.net/keystrokes-per-minute)

Based on your last paragraph, you seem to be conflating you paying someone with you getting paid. If your thoughts on this subject are that confused, it makes sense that you're not understanding the issues here.

AB5 is about the relationship between the worker and the person paying them. Fundamentally, yes, it's all just compensation for work performed, but the law is all about the specific details of the work relationship not the zoomed-out overbroad simplification you've reduced it to, because at that level everybody is the same as everyone else and if everybody is the same why bother with any laws at all?

Writing stupid code is actually really difficult.

This means that 70% of people are doing BS jobs (including me). Basically we've made information access and curation a full time job for 70% of the population. INFORMATION CURATION!

The other 30% is doing all the hard work of keeping people fed or in support roles of transportation and construction for the information curators.

"Nazi also complained that Jews are making themselves victims while they supposedly are not."

Sure, they can say that, but they would be lying. How were Jews not victims when millions of them were being murdered by Nazis?

I don't remember Nazis being locked up in ghettoes, concentration camps, or death camps by Jews in WW2.

The Nazis were clearly the aggressors, and their attempts to paint themselves as the victims were transparent lies.

It's truly sad that this still needs to be pointed out to some people.

"The primary identification [of the Nazis] was not victim, it was strongman."

It was both. They wanted to have it both ways, so they can pretend to be defending themselves and Germany when they attacked. And they wanted all of Germany to run to them for protection against the Jewish and Communist boogeyman. Tragically, their strategy worked.

And it was they, not the Jews, who were doing the attacking.

"We can play the nazi game both ways."

To you it may seem like a game, but the sorts of lies you're repeating have resulted in the deaths of millions of people, and may do so again. This is no game.
But people do have to travel through there. Commissioners Ave is the only real east-west fare through the entire region.

Thanks for weighing in. Administering this stuff is undoubtedly exhausting, and I appreciate the honest explanation here. I agree that community rule should be rarely overridden, and to be honest, until I asked this question I was under the false impression that flagging was a moderator action. If I had done my homework and seen that it was the community who decided it wasn’t HN worthy, I wouldn’t have posted this. But I’m glad I did! Live and learn.

The fact it got flagged is interesting all on its own. Maybe Wired is inviting flame wars by simply saying Fox News in the title? I wonder if it would’ve been flagged had they not. Food for thought.

Thanks, dang!
TripleLift, Sharethrough, AppNexus (now Xander), Rubicon Project, OpenX, GumGum, Index, Amazon A9. There are dozens of video demand partners as well. All of those have performed as well or better, from my experience.

I don't think I've ever seen this combination of "very much cares about code quality" and "slow coder".

I humbly submit that you have been exceptionally lucky in that case, unless you're quite new to the industry. We've had problems with dogmatic developers and architecture astronauts for as long as software development has been a thing.

In the 1990s, they were the ones trying to shoehorn as many design patterns as possible into every OO project. There was little evidence that doing so made the code better in any material way, but that didn't matter, because Design Patterns Are Good Things.

In the 2000s, they were the ones adding lots of artificial complexity to otherwise reasonable designs to enable their preferred test automation tool to hook in everywhere. There was little evidence that enforcing these rules universally actually improved quality or saved time, but Everything Must Be Unit Tested.

In the 2010s, they were the ones refactoring anything with more than five lines in a function or more than one level of nesting. There was little evidence that this improved any important code metrics, and even some evidence that it actually made things worse, but the longer or deeper version violated someone's arbitrary list of Code Smells That Are Bad so it had to be fixed.

A recurring theme here is taking the essence of a reasonable idea that might be useful in some circumstances but then applying it with an absurd degree of rigidity and scope without regard for the cost-benefit trade-offs being made. XP advocates even made this the centrepiece of their philosophy, though XP was born out of a project that was hardly a great success...

Most people don't vote in local elections. ~99.9% of the US (by land area) bans multi-family housing, and those laws mostly come from city councils and neighborhood committees dominated by wealthy, retired homeowners.
