If reducing air travel seems a depressing consequence of the climate crisis, it's going to get way more depressing. This is a good tradeoff to mitigate much worse things.
I think the original blog post made a very important point: We may all agree that there are issues, but there is a lot of disagreement in how problems should be solved. For example, some think that you should solve problems with the system, through elections, bills, etc., while others think a violent revolution and communism is the only way forward.

Your position regarding thinking everyone who isn't political at work is naive or evil is not helping the problem. This is only alienating people who already find such aggressive and exaggerated statements wrong.
I believe the article in question relates to a European Commission investigation.

In the US, this kind of data aggregation doesn't even make waves regarding antitrust. Google just has to comply with HIPAA and it's basically good to go (they already had "Google Health" as an app for self-reported data ages ago, which nobody stopped).

If Google started feeding this data to insurance companies, it'd be out of compliance with HIPAA.

As a non-white immigrant, I think it's mostly the other way. Most of us don't care as much for the US-style identity politics, but somehow it's all the white liberal upper middle class types who are always political and woke.
You and your son can do fun imaginative things, but I suspect he will not be able to fully share in the fantasy world that other kids who believe in Santa inhabit. But that's fine, it's your decision - parenthood (like everything) is all about tradeoffs like this
This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I hate having hobby platform support in modern projects.

I work on a OS kernel (non-Linux), and in my view, we should support x86_64, arm64, and maybe ppc64le. But instead we have all sorts of 32b legacy hobbiest platforms where there are maybe 3 machines in the world running on them. These platforms make it harder to test changes, simply by the fact that it takes regression tests longer to compile & run, you have to build/install more cross tools, etc. They make it harder to develop because all of a sudden you realize that some standard interface is not implemented on them, and you have regression test failures that you need to work around.

I'm fine with hobby platforms if they play in their own sandbox, but not when they impede development of current systems.
I agree. It's such a pain when one cannot simply sit athwart the world and command "Stop!". I find the world can be a very inconvenient places at times.

From where I'm sitting, the best option on offer for coping with this inconsiderate world is to keep in practice applying your updates on a regular cadence. It may be a grind, but it's perhaps one that gets easier as you do it more often. It certainly makes for smaller, more regular updates that in my experience are often more manageable.
People can be as politically active as they want, on their own time and on their own dime.

Ironically, the people preaching activism in the workplace would be livid if a religious believer proselytized their faith at the workplace, despite the believer having as strong a belief in their ideas as the activists do in theirs. Quite the double standard.
I actually loved Delphi back in the day for Windows development. It was quick and easy. My biggest issue with FPC/Lazarus is that the technology isn’t popular compared to C++. In my experience, the library ecosystem, etc. just isn’t as large and it’s harder to find support for.

> I'm sure there will be many applicants, but they'll all be sociopaths.

This is the exact kind of tone Coinbase is ejecting from their company. You thinking this is the wrong move is exactly the point. People don't want to work around people who call them "sociopaths" over not wanting to debate at work.
Off topic, but I really like that I don't have to customize my iPhone much at all. It works great right off the bat, I don't need to download another camera app, another gallery app, or have to root it so I can fix my CPU settings so the phone won't melt just in my pocket (happened on my LG android back in 2015 which made me switch to iOS and never look back).
Isn't this what he said though (just in a more polite tone)?
That's not a good analogue for a cartridge, though. The cartridge or the device itself stored data locally. Modern gaming consoles store their data on HDD's. Anything beyond that is entirely developer's prerogative.

And according to another user, they do offer storage through CloudKit... which it appears they do, included in the dev account/App Store distribution model—1 PB: https://developer.apple.com/icloud/cloudkit/
[Co-founder here of a start-up that provided monitoring / metadata analytics for cloud warehouses]

My unsolicited $0.02 - I think your approach is spot on.

As a company, you will never have one consistent data set and metrics if you keep building an individual model for each user / use case / etc. And I've seen the explosion of tables and models in real-time. They just keep growing. And how do you even know that the question you're asking in your dashboard is pulling the information from the correct table? I've yet to see a data team that didn't have to deal with drift. Plus, there's a real cost of storing all these stale tables that nobody is looking at anymore.

What your product is doing is what I see companies already trying to accomplish themselves [somewhat]. For the leading companies when it comes to working with data, the warehouse today is already the source of truth, with one dimension table that points back to the SaaS tool / dashboard via an S3 bucket. So the SaaS tool itself is really only the last mile and visualization layer. Run the model, create the table, offload the table to S3, point the tool to the S3 bucket with the table. Update every 4 hours, etc.

dbt wins in that world. (and I assume you're using something like dbt under the hood of narrator.ai?)

That approach is already commoditizing the SaaS tool down to the visualization layer and the opinionated way of displaying data. But that still means there's at least one model per tool, use case, etc. with one table - and you still don't see the entire journey of the user, that's something you either have to create for a single specific use case, or cobble it together ad-hoc. If instead you have one table that has it all - you can move soooo much faster with data, and take out all the friction that comes from having disparate data sets.

narrator.ai wins in that world.

Blinkist is Berlin is following a very similar approach to what you guys have built. This deck is a few years old, but I think the approach described will resonate with you:

https://www.slideshare.net/SebastianSchleicher/tracking-and-...

If I had to look into my Crystal Ball, I think one of your GTM challenges will be to convince existing data teams that everything they've built is somewhat redundant. On the flipside, I can see the same data teams say "OMG, finally!". I'm curious to hear the customer reactions so far.

I'm very excited about this product! I wouldn't be a direct user with my current role, but FWIW, I can share the bruises I got from working in this market.

Would love to hear more!

Honestly, I wouldn't think so. People can change / learn, too. If you've already ticked off your boss and coworkers at Coinbase with your politics, this might be an excellent time to get some severance, re-evaluate whether or not you should continue to do that in the workplace, and frame your resignation differently when applying elsewhere.

Besides, I'd expect the "true believers" to find some way to outright brag to future interviewers they parted ways with Coinbase over moral / ethical objections.
Did you follow that debate closely? Because it seems like a lot more nuanced than the media put it.
I do think they are intentionally booking flights that have no to low chances of flying. Currently there is no downside for them – either the flights eventually book enough people to make enough money for the airline to run the flight or they simply cancel them and put you on a much worse itinerary.

What did you do to become a DE?
I don't disagree with your underlying feeling here, that is to say I'm on your side of the fence. But don't you think it's a bit extreme to label people sociopaths, insane, evil, incompetent, for expressing their desire to work in a place where they can focus on their craft? Your last sentence is actually really threatening as well.

I can think of many reasons people might find this appealing. They may be incredibly politically engaged in their personal life and want work to be a place of focus. They might disagree with the political solutions that their coworkers favour, which is totally okay! But it would be extremely draining for that person.

Please, start with the best interpretation of people rather than labelling broad swaths of people as wicked and mentally ill. This is a great opportunity for discussion!

Ask HN: Interested in opening a startup office in Canada?
I'm testing an idea - would anyone with a US based startup be interested in establishing product and engineering operations in Canada - and needs help getting it up, managing and executing on the plan? Would this be interesting to you (why or why not?). I know some companies are promoting this, but I'm just 1 startup-experienced product/eng team leader who would like to pitch this to a great startup i'd want to contribute to.

Every company has a mission, some are just more explicit about it.

I spent a lot of years as a traveling consultant. Every company I visited broadcast it's culture and in doing so, it's mission. It's in the way companies bring products to market, it's in the words it uses to describe itself. It's in the way it treats its employees.

The mission could be "We want to line the pockets of the founder's family." It could be "we want to build products that make people's lives better in these distinct ways." It can even be "We want to shine this turd just long enough to get acquired by our largest competitor." As employees, we buy in one way or another.

Each of those is a mission, just a very different mission from the way Coinbase is positioning their mission.
Right. The point is, if a competitor who was a for-profit company was willing to federate with Element, as a first-party contributor not just reluctantly "I guess you can use our integration API's for that and we won't stop you... yet" -- that would be watershed moment in hopes of federation/integration instead of silos being a thing.

That is indeed not what happened. It's just an acquisition. It does not actually give us hope that there's more momentum towards competitors being willing to play together in federation, that's not what happened.

Not sure why the one who made that point is getting downvoted, I think it's an interesting observation. That the press release arguably kind of intentionally tries to hand wave over a bit.
I always thought it's quite normal for people to work together despite not having all the same ideas and definitions. That those flowery words on a mission statement are not precise or exact, and will never stand up to all situations and expectations.

Perhaps it's not really that important, and there's not even much point debating it for the organisation .. people at work could instead get on with the work they are doing and offering value to society through the outcome of their work. Of course they could do various activism in other ways, without inflicting it excessively on their colleagues just because they are earning a living across the hallway from them ..
Can you link to the study if you're going to use it in your explanation please? What about other studies? Shouldn't we be using the scientific method for these things??
The "no copyright intended" notice on super.so is the text equivalent of nails on a chalkboard.
Reading these comments I feel like the root of the issue is the collapse of American democracy. It's a bit grandiloquent but that's definitely how it looks like. If workers trust that "We, the people" are still in charge on the big picture then it doesn't make sense to bring politics at work. Just vote.

Now if you feel like your power as a citizen has dwindled and you can't meaningfully enact change through democratic means, it makes sense to try and "weaponize" your job, especially if you work for a powerful company and you're a valuable highly skilled worker.

But in the end if you're dissatisfied with your company and you know that there's a fundamental ideological incompatibility it probably makes more sense to just quit, especially when you're a software dev and you can probably find some other job fairly easily.

I guess an other possibility would be to have proper unions but for some reason I don't see that happening in the USA any time soon...
What an ignorant comment.

It's like free healthcare in socialist countries: it's perfectly priced, the only problem is you can't get it.

Moving large volumes of mail has been a problem in mail.app for at least six years and remains a problem on both.
So the concept behind this is that every action is written to a single activity stream across the enterprise. Then you query that table when you want to do analytics. Does this mean I need to modify all my other applications to write to this table when an event happens?
When I used to do firmware, we used to see tons of bugs in the commercial compilers. We try out a new version and one bug was fixed and a new one inevitably pops up. My first boss used to do a diff between the assembly output of both versions for the same source code to identify the differences and determine if any new bugs were added.

> The community programs have had no noticeable effect on poverty or homelessness rates

I'd be surprised if they did, as they were approved last week.

> Police response times have been dismal in my neighborhood in North Seattle

This sounds like a problem with the police dept independent of funding levels, as the funding was only reduced last week. (I also live in North Seattle, and I haven't seen data on crime increasing or decreasing. In general, I've seen lots of car prowls, but relatively low crime otherwise.

> Multiple local shops and restaurants have closed over the last few years because they can't keep up with rising artificially imposed costs.

This is always the way business works. If those businesses relied on exploiting laborers to make ends meet, then maybe it's better that they are being replaced with other businesses that don't? Also, from what I've seen, rising rents are much more problematic for businesses in North Seattle.

> The new taxes on businesses and high earners has led to Amazon moving 25,000 jobs out of the city to the east side.

I'm not sure they did. Did Amazon reduce their investment in Seattle by 25k? Or did they simply increase it by 25K outside of their core area while they also increased in their core area? The increase in taxes is also relatively recent, so there's no way that Amazon did this in response to a tax increase (as siting 25,000 people takes years of planning.)

Where does all the money actually go? Headcount? Long development cycles? Does anybody have any insight? I know there’s a trite answer, but what is really happening?
Mine are in that age range. Here’s what I try.

* When they ask a question, I often say “I don’t know” in order to stimulate a discussion rather than just telling them the answer, and also to make it clear it’s OK not to know things.

* As well as “I don’t know”, I might also ask them why they think something and whether they would like to do a test or experiment to help them find out. I’m not talking science experiments really - questions like “Why is your shirt always tucked in?” I would answer by trying to put some action on them, like saying “Why don’t you try some different styles and see which one is best and then I might change my mind?”.

* I ask them questions about everyday situations even when I wouldn’t expect them to have any sensible answer (e.g. “what do you think I should write in this email to my boss?”), just to help broaden their understanding of the world and to demonstrate seeking advice and input from others.

* I sometimes throw them out into the garden and tell them to do whatever they like. Make-believe, bash rocks, whatever. As long as they are forced to entertain themselves!

* I let them watch YouTube on the TV (supervised), but I set the PIN as a solution to a puzzle. Turns out they like solving the puzzles as much as watching YouTube trash.

* On the theme of trash content consumption, I don’t ban it but try to talk about it (aside from setting some reasonable time limits), guiding the conversation towards questioning why they would want to spend their time on that. And you know what, sometimes they happen upon something cool and I let them change my mind and we watch it together.

* I tell lots of bedtime stories that I make up as we go along, letting them decide some things as we go. Strangely, eldest loves this but youngest is indifferent and would rather hear something familiar.

* Recognizing that they are still young kids and still letting them be kids and not expecting them to be debate prodigies or other tiger parent nonsense.
I might be wrong, but that doesn't sound like a compiler bug. Re-ordering operations without regards to interrupts is generally permitted in compilers. If you want the order to be maintained because you are dealing with volatile values then you have to tell the compiler that!

> The best design they found is able to handle heat fluxes up to 1,700 watts per square centimeter.

This was not a 3-dimensional chip, of course, but it might give a ballpark figure for the heat transfer we could achieve with nanofluidics. The article and paper authors take care to point out that this was effectively a "toy" example, with the circuit designed to be easy to cool.
> Marcus Tullius Cicero was a Roman statesman, lawyer, scholar, and writer who tried to uphold republican principles in the final civil wars that destroyed the Roman Republic.

Cicero was a man who fought against the tribunes representing the vast majority of Roman citizens, and for the power of the idle class aristocracy which did not work.

He also was like an ancient embodiment of QAnon (which sees the US Democratic Party leadership as involved in a child sex conspiracy) - he accused populare aligned senators like Catiline of defiling the sacred Vestal virgins in Senate hearings.
Side note, you sound like the perfect customer for the SONOS Move.
If you're going to talk zeitgeists, it could also be millenarianism, as the belief that the old order is dwindling and about to blow away and must be replaced with something better, the belief in a reckoning, is far from exclusive to either side of the political spectrum but instead is present everywhere.
That's fair, and like I said - I was afraid I was being too self-centered.

As for the rest - I am completely, and 100% over lean philosophy/training/gurus. That has been a major focus in higher education in recent years.

And it has just led to top-down, money based decisions instead of student focused discussions and choices.

I am with you, I think we are just removing safety from areas that may not be appropriate to remove them from.
No. They do emit a lot of sulfur oxides. Not as much as power generation but still a lot. Sometimes this gets simplified to container ships are 'one of the' biggest polluters. Which is pretty misleading since 'one of the' is such a weak phrase, doubly so when simplifying it down to a specific type of pollution.
I can only think of two kinds of "native" on Windows when it comes to look & feel - Win32 apps, and WinRT apps. Ideally, a modern GUI framework would have backends for both.

It’s always been this way in the west, post industrialization. People treating it as some novel development are just ignorant of history. Why do you think so many democracies have “labor” or “workers” parties? Myriad progressive movements and political parties were born out of and materially supported by workers organizing their workplaces.
This is true, but for the most part the Android features come earlier but are very poorly thought out and usually have usability issues which prevent people from using them effectively. In contrast Apple usually waits a couple of years and ends up releasing something that solves the problem in a usable way.

Let's talk about cameras specifically. Samsung has this "burst mode" feature which lets you take 100 or 200 shots in rapid succession. This was linked to a long press of the "take picture" button, so when I would use my wife's phone if I paused for a moment with my finger on the button it would fill up the memory card with hundreds of identical JPEG images that she would then have to sort through and delete individually.

Contrast this with Apple's "Live Photo" feature which takes a short 2 or 3 second video around the moment when you take your picture. You can still sort through each individual frame and pick the best one but it doesn't completely fill up the device's memory with hundreds of identical JPEGs. And it gives you this cool video of the moment for every picture.

Being first to market doesn't matter if the feature isn't actually usable.
totally understand you don't want to specify, but could you say what kind of product it was (ie mobile app, saas, udemy thing, crypto...etc)?

just asking as someone curious about this type of thing
