I don't follow what you are saying about the right to be forgotten, so I'll skip that part.

It seems to me that you are now defending a logically tenable position: that people who say arbitrarily awful things in public ought to be able to keep their jobs regardless of the extent to which their views are deeply offensive to their coworkers and society at large, and inconsistent with the mission of the company. But if that is where you end up, I take that as a reductio.
This will happen once and then there will be a test for it.

My automated system will only get more resiliant over time. This is a benefit for the system itself.

Of course when you do it manually, you will learn and gain experience but thats only for YOU. It does not just get transfered to your colleagues and when you are on holiday and shit hits the fan, it will not help.

My biggest reason why i like automatisation so much is: the company becomes less reliant on me.

It is the same mechanism why the industry is getting more computer logic: Machines are complicated and you need to train people. Make it easier for people to 'just use' and you have more people available which you need to train less.

Why? In Japan my CEO gets paid $1 million year and I make $50k a year. (20x) In the USA my CEO gets paid $60 million and I get paid $300k a year (200x)

I'd much rather have the CEO getting paid 200x
>You get fired easier, in shorter amounts of time

Your average retail worker is responsible for following confusing sets of rules that are rarely fully modeled, if even fully understood, while working under cameras that are selectively and obliquely monitored. If someone wants them fired, or the place just needs to reduce staff, providing a justification is very low-effort.
> we all know someone that lost someone to the Python2/3 transition

This feels like a very strange perspective. Why is it a problem to "lose" someone from a language? You're an engineer (a presumption on my side); casting yourself into a subsection of a "Python engineer" seems like a move with all the downsides and no upsides.
My running-theory is that it will remain this way until ghost's OSS version supports multi-tenancy properly: https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/1484

Wordpress took off, because you could support multiple sites for various clients with a single-stack - enabling third-parties to run Wordpress-hosting websites easily.

With Ghost, unless you are Ghost.com, you need to run one-container per blog you have, which is ridiculous.

Ah so that's why Access basically dropped off the face of the Earth, they were trapped in the sarcophagus
The email says that OP is using 4 staff users, where his plan only allows for 2. So the CEO is correct in saying this had nothing to do with traffic. Staff users are the same as team members.

Why OP was allowed to create more staff users than his plan allowed is kinda strange.
Now that's objectively not right. Most charities anywhere from the red cross to community outreach programs in inner cities are religious in nature. You are trying to say what I said but you seem to be applying your own bias. Most die hard donald trump supporters don't even claim to be heavily religious for example. My point was secularists sometimes act as religious people should and vice versa but at the root of it individualism is to blame. I am suggesting secularism naturally leads to individualism but so does insincere or ill motivated religion. You are talking at the individual level but I was suggesting at a national level.

Individually people are diffrent and surprising but when a divided nation embraces secularism it leads to individualism which eliminates diplomatic and civil compromises that maintain a stable society.

Why are other western nations not this way? I am not sure they're as immune as you think. Not having similar diversity and division might be a factor but with the US, foreign actors have actively flamed divisions and encouraged individualistic and tribalist ideologies through social media. The US has plenty of divisions, a culture war and plenty of catalysts. But this all was true in the cold war and in the 90s, what changed now in my observation is the country switched from something like maybe a quarter secularists to a popular majority secularists.

You should also beware, statistically plenty of people might claim a religion because they were raised that way, they are not saying they actively practice,they are saying that's their tribe. Big difference.

Britain is exhibitih mildet but similar issues as the US if you would care for a comparison.
I was on the fence with the author's behavior but I re-read the issue -

The author could add a staff member without being on a new plan. This is really shady. If your product has pricing tiers, then PLEASE do not let people get features without accepting to pay in the first place.

Here is the pricing page: https://ghost.org/pricing/

This does not seem like a per-user pricing, which would give Ghost a benefit of doubt. This is clear tiers that consumer has to explicitly buy.
Trying to rally a mob against someone in the hope of getting them fired is _absolutely_ a use of force. It was being justified as an act of self-defence (my words) because the OP felt they were being harmed.

As for poly marriage, yes, there's no attempts to make it even more illegal because it's taboo to the point that nobody brings it up except when conservatives make slippery slope arguments (which gives you an idea of how unpopular it is). Kind of like there was no DOMA in the 1970's; gay marriage was unthinkable.
When someone calls "Shotgun" do you ask "Why don't we all ride shotgun?" Because someone has to actually make the car move.

Not every company is a 100k employees company with CEO deatached from mudane operations - why would not a CEO of a small company be involved in customer support etc.

Though in particular this case, customer care is not his strong side :)
I'm running into this problem more and more. It seems like Node is fundamentally unusable for anything but the nimblest teams that do not mind updating their dependencies automatically, every week, and when something breaks, they are capable of fixing it within hours.

I really like Node as a language (especially with TS), but Node as an ecosystem feels like a very hard fit into 90%+ of corporations.

> 200x is over the top I guess; I cannot see how you bring that much more value than your employees.

Steve Jobs took over Apple when it was 90 days from bankruptcy and turned it into the most valuable company in the world. Apple had a series of CEOs before Jobs that didn't.

Essentially, the CEO decides which hill to climb. The right hill, the company makes $$$. The wrong hill, the company languishes. That's worth a heckuva lot of money. Nobody else in the company has that kind of influence over its fortunes.
Like I said, I'm fine with any partnership being able to enter a legally recognized marriage, if its 7 men, two siblings, man and woman, three man and three women, ... if the state provides marriage within its legal system. So yes, if a man and woman can get a legally recognized marriage in your country then your marriage should be legalized as well. But I'd much rather prefer it for the state not to have such a stupid system in the first place, so marriage becomes a purely private matter.
That's not really what I said. Assuming a game must be bad because it is offered at discount is .. not very wise. Not every good game is as lucky to be an indie hit with relatively low cost and high acceptance.

Also for me I probably will never buy Factorio because of this. I absolutely accept their decision but I don't have enough time for this game to justify 25 bucks I guess. I would rather play other untouched games in my collection first. I guess the honest business model saved me from spending money :) Still says nothing about the quality of the game.
What approach did you settle with for your exports?

The next main thing will be improvements to the timeline. We want editing on Tella's timeline to feel much more approachable than "traditional" timelines.
In the long-run, they never do when (1) those equal treatment mandates are firmly enshrined in law, and (2) there is an effective judicial remedy for violations of that law. Cases where they do it in an ongoing manner are cases where either (1) or (2) are missing.

In the case of immigration/visas, a big problem is that (in many legal systems) most immigration/visa decisions are not judicially reviewable. (There are often exceptions for certain areas of immigration law, such as refugee status determinations and deportation proceedings, but if you are refused a visa from outside the country you usually have no legal recourse.) This means that, even if you believe you have been discriminated against on a legally prohibited ground, no court will even hear your claim.

I think that's wrong, and that should be changed. And it impacts all kinds of people; I'm sure some people get discriminated against on the basis of their sexuality when seeking visas and have no legal recourse, but plenty of people get discriminated against on other grounds – or even just get visas denied for completely inscrutable reasons (e.g. Daniel Stenberg's continual denial of a US visa) – and have no recourse either. But this is a problem which could be fixed with sufficient political will; the law could be amended to grant rights of judicial review in all visa/immigration matters.

Another point: you can say "even if the law says that married and unmarried couples should be treated equally, immigration officials will ignore/violate that law", but you can equally say "even if the law says that same-sex and opposite-sex married couples should be treated equally, immigration officials will ignore/violate that law". I don't understand how, the risk that some immigration official might discriminate against a same-sex couple is a good argument for retaining the legal recognition of marriage, since immigration officials can discriminate against same-sex couples whether marriage is a legally recognised institution or not.
Damn I laughed at the entire fiasco & then worried a lot about such tactics near the end.
How exactly was it a shit shit talk?

So it's okay to only praise executives over social media, but you can't say anything else? That's stupid.
The author talks about going viral. He also says that these higher plan features should just be disabled. To me that appears to mean that he wants his site to go dark if he goes over traffic limits.

Here's what Ghost does if you go over your traffic limits:

> Average views per month

> Views refer to the number of requests to your site each month. These are tracked much like an analytics 'pageview' - and are incremented with each page or API request.

> We never disable sites for traffic spikes, so no need to worry about the front page of Reddit or HN. If you exceed your limit consistently on a 3 month rolling average, we'll just let you know that you need to upgrade.

I think this is pretty good? It would be better if they allowed the user to set a hard limit in advance.
Do they though? There are many good unemployed or poorly paid programmers all around the globe. Even if they do start allowing more remote work this will not change much as they will still have around the same number of employees.
> Assuming you're not opposed to the idea of marriage altogether,

I tend to think that the state shouldn't be in the business of marriage at all. If private clubs / religions want to recognise a special ceremony between whatever groupings make sense for their club (someone suggested polyamorous families above) then they should go ahead.

The state should have nothing to do with it, not recognising relationships that have had such a ceremony as different to relationships without. Now I know that is not currently the case, but I'd be more in favour of removing state recognition of any marriage than changing who the state lets get married.

Places where it is genuinely useful to make the distinction should be replaced with thought-out duck-typing rather than nominative typing - if you've been living with someone as a partner for a certain amount of time, or are clearly trying to bring up children together then you should get the presumptive 'next of kin' status that the law finds helpful regardless of your ceremonial status. Or perhaps people should just have the right to add others to 'next of kin' status at will.
Funny that VM related days are all prime numbers :).

Pretty much every Firefox discussion on Hacker news you have commenters that say they just can't stand Firefox because it's 10ms slower than Chrome. Google also has been advertising Chrome heavily for the last ten years. And there was a time when Firefox was undeniably significantly behind on performance.
That's just cherry-picking one particular case with a positive outcome. The last few Boeing CEOs were also paid tens of millions per year and ended up running the company (and two planes) into the ground.

There is a purple section "Our simple + fair billing policy" that is pretty clear.

I actually looked at the pricing page before commenting, but somehow missed that
I don't see how that is a use of force. We must use different dictionaries.

I feel that you're sidestepping the main question about poly marriage. How would it work in detail? Do you support a specific version of it? In fact, do you actually support it at all, in a real non-rhetorical way?
Well it's is kinda of shady for B2C market, where every cent counts for the customers.

There is no way easy way to explain why it's done this way, because it's obviously made on purpose to earn more $$.

They're not.

From the article "must come from Iberian blackfoot pigs that spend the last months of their lives eating acorns on the dehesa, a traditional Spanish or Portuguese pasture shaded by mature oak trees"

It's all of those conditions required. I'm not making any judgements, just pointing out.
Completely agree. I think it's worse actually. It's not even about scaling. It's about having more staff users on the account.

> I was expected to stay on top of them or risk an automatic “upgrade” from $36 to $99 for having an extra staff user on my website? I had forgotten about this, but why not just block me from adding them?

So looks like Ghost allows you to add more members freely, does not warn or tell you anything when you do it, but then only tells you that you'll be upgraded automatically via email later? (It's partly a rhetorical question, but I genuinely don't know how it works).
I really love the array.map( e -> e.doStuff() ) syntax. You can do similar in Java and other JVM languages of course. Not sure whether you can do that in Python.
I consider AWS' almost indecipherable usage billing to be shady. I very much doubt I'm alone. It's next to impossible to predict your AWS usage bill for anything beyond a very basic setup.

What's annoying is the solution is a simple radio button: bill me for what I use or stop my service when I go over limits.

Who does it benefit to not have that hard limit? The customer or business? The answer is why it feels shady.
Fast-Roping
Yes, but this is in response to "nobody should make 200x their employees".

But it's really not that simple. Some CEOs are that valuable. Some are not. You need to figure out if they're a Boeing CEO or a Steve Jobs and compensate them accordingly.
> I don’t think the argument was that he wanted the site to go dark.

There was an explicit dispute over this. The original email from Ghost was concerned with the number of active staff users, and the customer is definitely right that Ghost just shouldn't allow excess staff users rather than allowing them and then automatically increasing your bill.

But the two plans in question don't differ only by the permitted number of active staff users. They also differ by the permitted number of page views per month. And the customer explicitly asked "what happens if I post something that exceeds the number of page views allowed for my plan?".

So yes, the question of whether the site should go dark is very much in play.

Logistical maps of chaos are interesting. You can use it to collapse the zeta function when r approaches the onset of chaos when you plug it into the Young modulus in terms of the elastic constants which yields a zero at x = 4/5. From there, you can model the zeta function as z(x) = sin(10(3x + 1) - 180)^(5s + 4) derived from a ramanujan congruency. All sorts of weird things can be conjectured from there.

As a power user I am aware of more than one breaking change.

I really don't see how it matters. It is this specific comment that is going to "manipulate" you into donating? The disaster happened. Stories as told in this comment happened. The hospital exists, it was severely damaged. In that context, does it really matter whether this person is speaking the truth?
Yes, this is exactly what I meant and should be the EU law he mentioned. The 14 days only apply to subscriptions after initially signing up, after that you have to cancel your subscription within the regular cancellation period that is stated in the contract or terms of service and can be up to three months in Germany. In case of N26 Metal it seems to be four weeks.
Did I say without notice? No.

I have not terminated someone's account without notice. I have always first tried to find out what the problem is so we can resolve it. But when someone has raised an issue, not given us time to resolve or even investigate, and then accused us publicly of inappropriate behaviour, I've contacted them to say that I think it better we go separate ways, returned their data, refunded their money, and gave them 48 hours before considering the issue closed.

We (you and I) probably agree that the CEO did not get it entirely right, and certainly I would not have done what he did. But in this situation, where neither party comes off looking good, my sympathies still lie somewhat with the CEO.
Loaded question. Without the team captain, the team loses.
The location of the HQ on paper has nothing to do with where the office actually is, anyway. So many large corporations are registered in Delaware, or in a tax haven.
Like said, that's about one of the biggest companies in the world and one of the most successful. There are many examples where the CEO doesn't manage this (IBM, Boeing and many more for instance), the company doesn't languish and yet the CEO gets rewarded. Makes no sense then right? In your example, if you don't manage growth like Steve Jobs, how are you worth heckuva lot of money? You managed to not go broke? That's not worth so much... It's worth more than the top employees, but not 100x.

I'm talking about a lot smaller. Most mid-sized companies (nor the larger ones, but I specifically am not talking about those) are not this binary; they are just steady growth, not hockeysticks and for years/decades.
and the CEO also didn't go their house and shoot them in the face
I just commented below to a sibling comment, but as far as I understand it, it's not about scaling here actually. It's about staff members.

But even if we talk about scaling here, As you noted different people will have different expectations. Some will prefer to get charged more and handle the extra traffic. Others will be the polar opposite and will prefer to cap unless they give explicit consent to upgrade.

I don't think you can avoid asking about it.
0.1-0.6%? That's laughable.

I don't know if income tax is federal or a state issue, but if they simple increased it in the higher income bracket they would surely get more in their state coffers. (Yes, I know SF is a city).

SF could also add a tax for people with uninhabited homes in the city. If you don't live in it, you pay the amount of money the city would've made had somebody been living in it.

Usually the bonus is tied to the performance of the company.
Also 150k salary != labor costs.

Anyway I find your analogy ridiculous. Lets just not hire CEOs or upper management at all. It will work for some and fail for some others but it does not prove your point.
Yes, that definitely seems to be what they do, and I understand why that frustrated the user. I think the CEO should have taken the frustration as feedback, even though the user wasn't very tactful on Twitter.
> I agree with the post author that the tactic of allowing users to exceed plan limits and then upping their bill

It's only the same as pay-per-use, which loads of other companies use. If you use network bandwidth on AWS or GCP, they're going to bill you per gigabyte, and there is no 7 day grace period or action required on your part to get a big bill.
Also, he wasn't rude. The responses were.
Why OP was allowed to create more staff users than his plan allowed is kinda strange.

Not at all. You have two staff users. You need to replace one. This allows you to create the replacement before having to delete the one being replaced. Quite friendly, actually.
473 comments, 0 mentions of Rafic Hariri or Hezbollah. HN, I really had higher expectations.
clean drinking water is a much more challenging problem. This is not merely the Govts. fault. People do not want to share existing water with other people and as economy is highly dependent on agriculture groundwater depletion is a serious issue. Most water in India (except Northern part) comes during the 4 months of monsoon. Large scale irrigation projects have a lot of environmental hurdles to overcome here unlike China yet quite a few of them are being worked on rapidly. Most of central India is a plateau and one ambitious plan involved pumping excess flood water in North India during monsoon onto the plateau and transporting it to the South. People are working on many different solutions to the problems as can be done practically.
That's a tough sell for the vast majority of non-HN users.

I think you're saying that you're ok with gay marriage if gay marriage is legal, which kind of doges the main question of whether or not it should be legal.

I'd find your opposition to the legal recognition of any marriages more credible if you divorced your wife in solidarity :)
