>Tobacco may be a net detriment, but they do provide jobs, and profits of course, everyone loves profits and stocks going up!

That has nothing to do with tobacco. Jobs can just as easily be provided in any other industry. What does tobacco provide to society?

As for the rest of your comment, on the contrary, I find this negative tech sentiment only present on Hacker News and similar tech-heavy forums. Regular people outside of tech hubs couldn't care less except for what the media is feeding them (no derogation, I am similarly fed by the media in industries I am not familiar with).
I agree, self-hosting and decentralizing analytics data is the biggest improvement to user privacy that can be done today and has multiple other benefits for both the user and the webmaster.

Now, if only the EU would push more against data decentralization instead of writing cookie policies that result in horrendous user experience on the web...
IMHO I feel I get most of the way with operators and Kustomize.
MySQL not having a proper type to express time spans seems like a fault to me, and "poor design". Of course you can just use an integer for it, but that is a slippery slope, in the end you'll find that you can use strings or byte arrays for everything and you end up with no type system at all.

The surprise here is not that the type has limits but that they are so awkward and that there is no better strongly-typed alternative.
I’ve used Mixpanel and found it had nice APIs. I’ll update the list for the ones that support it.
Appsail was nanobox from what I saw, they redid it between appsail and "apps".
Your statement about the lack of correlation of disease severity and fatigue made me think of a few question.

* What is the measure of disease severity?

* Is there a correlation between measures of disease severity and anosmia in Covid-19?

* Is there a correlation between disease severity of other viruses that trigger chronic fatigue symptoms and incidences of CFS?

The anosmia question seems relevant if we assume that the virus damages the nervous system.

I'm really glad. PR is disgusting and probably responsible the most the problem in the world. Go by merit not PR.
“The south” is a really big region so maybe someone pops up because you’re tarring an entire region based on your individual experience. As an LGBT person, I grew up with people telling urban legends about gerbils and whatnot. Perhaps they witnessed a single person doing this, but attributing it to a large group is not very accurate.

I grew up in the south in a super backwards small town and now live in a really forward town in the south. It’s a big place and there’s a lot of great places.

Stereotypes are based on common behavior but don’t apply to everyone here or every part of the south.

To clarify, are you saying Trump supporters want to see big tech broken up? If so, I just can’t see this persuading a Trump supporter to change their vote.
I keep hearing that the Midwest has a racism from kids who have lived in two cities their entire lives... It's very quotable, but when then you realize that black people are very underrepresented in west coast cities and people treat you accordingly there. And don't get me started about the claims of how color blind people have gone in southern cities like Nashville...
I think the change is coming because Zuck couldn't make his end of the bargain with Congress.

It's a boilerplate deal. We've seen it with railroads, telecoms, sugar, cigarettes, etc. The industry gets a little too rowdy for the good of the country and other businesses. Congress gets them to testify for a few hours and makes sure that they tell a lie somewhere in that timeframe. Now, Congress has leverage on the industry. In return, the industry gets to write the laws surrounding themselves. They become, effectively, a poly/monopoly. Sure, the big gains are gone, but so are the losses. Your industry, yourself, and all your relatives and descendants will never be poor again. You make a tidy 3% profit for eternity.

Congress gave Zuck that deal. Clean up social media; this Russia/flat-earth/vaccine stuff has got to stop. But Zuck can't do it. The ML/AI approach gets you to 99.9%. But to actually clean up the mess and get all the plebs to take their vitamins again takes 99.999% (or something like this). You need real people monitoring the site, like China's 50-cent army. But those people cost way too much to make FB profitable. It's the same for all the social media sites. They don't have a business if it's a clean one.

It took a while (hey, it's Congress), but the folks on Capital Hill finally got the message that Zuck can't do it. But, look, it just has to be clean. The mess is affecting other businesses now. Those 5G towers are expensive and took a lot of investment, we can't have people just hacksawing them. So we're going to see the congresscritters start to find ways to get the job done. One way, per this article, is to split them up. Take all the Facial-Feature-books (NoseBooks? EarBooks? EyeBooks?) and clean them up or let them fail outright. I'm sure we'll see negotiations with Zuck in the near future.

But the end objective, powered by the hulking slow weight of congressional subpoenas, is the same: no more messes.
I am a 36-year-old adult and the same thing happens to me.

My emotional state is frazzled and I can't focus. Does anyone else have this happen to them?

> It's the same argument behind the Luddite handloom weavers who burned mills and factory machinery. It leads to labor arguments...

The Luddite labor unrest arose from a very real decrease in living standards for many, many people which lasted for decades. Rural/semi-rural artisans lost out to factories staffed by smaller numbers of children who could be paid far less than adults. Many had no choice but to move to cities to fight for whatever jobs they could, and the squalid conditions and extreme labor surplus inspired communist thought.

So yes, this in many ways is the same argument, but I think it would be unwise to dismiss the 'labor arguments,' because while the industrial revolution in Britain did eventually raise everyone's living standards, it took about a century and the social unrest during that time (in Britain and other industrializing nations) provoked far-reaching, unintended consequences.

If you are interested in this subject, The Technology Trap by Frey has an interesting comparison between the first and second industrial revolutions and the ongoing labor shifts in the modern era.
It's full of the usual anti-Tesla cherrypicking, sarcastic one-liners, fumbling for clickbait headlines that zombie gawker Jalopnik has to use every day to eke out any engagement possible.

There’s an easy solution if you don’t like it: put a piece of tape over the lens. I’m not sure what y’all are doing in your cars but if you like to get wild then by all means do so, just take precautions.
Happy to see easy docker support. But I guess my ideal PaaS would be to just tap in a docker image from a private registry rather than running a Dockerfile from a repo.
It would not surprise me to find out that telco lobbyists had a lot to do with this. It's not shocking that this whole movement to break up FAANG started after the Net Neutrality loss.

Telcos have largely been able to avoid breakups and scrutiny for years because they invest very heavily in lobbying.

There is a lot to unpack here, but I think it needs to be addressed since your comment is getting so much exposure.

>> They ultimately controlled where those people worked

This is entire point of the anti-solicitation agreement. I don't need to cite anything.

Read the transcripts from Jobs and tell me again how it was to protect you from recruiters. How did you get sufficient protection after they lost the suit?

The point is showing the behavior of large companies that wield too much power and control large portions of the market, either from the customer's standpoint or the employees. They stopped their behavior only after being sued by the employees, who gained very little, the lawyers won and the GAFS ultimately profited from this endeavor.

Have you considered that their experiences may be true AND people are friendly to non-whites.

Racism isn’t some binary flag where an entire region is or isn’t racist. People can have racist experiences without meaning everyone is shitty or even that someone is likely to have a bad time.

Note this doesn’t mean people who are the subject of racism are racists. I read GP’s comment as meaning that making an overly broad statement that people in the Midwest are friendly to only whites is not accurate or useful.
(Obvious throwaway ;-))

I live & work in one of these cities and have my entire career. I currently work in a midsized tech company but my experiences and numbers hold with my previous work at a non-tech enterprise.

In general, the numbers I see:

* Individual contributor salaries range from 80k to 120k, with a bonus structure from 6%-8% annually.

* Upper-tier ICs and people managers tend to be around 110k-145k with 8-10% bonuses

Currently as a principal engineer I make ~$165k with a 12% annual bonus target. Previously as an enterprise architect I was on around ~$155k with a 15% bonus. A friend at a senior director level is around $185k and I'm not sure about the bonus but I know it is 15%+.

There are a variety of tech companies in the area, but many jobs are tech jobs at a "non-tech company": banking, insurance, healthcare, manufacturing. Even then, don't underestimate the size and scope of what is done; my last job had an IT department of around 200 and was responsible for running a ton of complex systems.

You'll probably skew towards midsized companies to large enterprises. While there are some regional startup incubators you just don't have the same access to capital that you do in the Bay area.

It's ludicrously affordable to live here:

https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/43-Fairfie...

I could find a similar home for around $75k.

There's plenty of cultural activities, dining, nightlife - I couldn't be happier.

The biggest risk is likely the limited amount of "slots at the top": there are probably at most a few dozen top-tier positions to fill in this market, so job changes have to be carefully considered and planned.

My friend lived through that, and he showed me photos to prove it, I couldn’t see any other white person in the remote places from which he was sending those photos. Not that Bujumbura was full with white people. Maybe Senegal is the exception that proves the rule reguarding Western Africa, but another friend who lived in Abidjan (still does, lost contact with her) had the same expat in a bubble experience. Again, this was not a matter of “my friend said”, as we were Skyping in late 2010 after some elections there and as bullets were flying around even in the posh area (one of her EU colleagues got killed by a stray bullet as she was staying inside her apartment, by the window).

I mantain my opinion about the Lebanese and how they’re viewed in the US, heck, the Italians were not seen as white-white until very recently while the Mexicans or the Argentinians still aren’t.
It is possible for someone to experience racism but apply a similarly out of touch generalization. I've experienced racism in Midwestern cities, but relative to other cities I've lived in the US? Talking in relative terms let's your anecdotes become broadly meaningful.

Did you have a bad case of covid? Any serious lung infection can result in the symptoms you describe. No shortage of people who report similar for two years after flu induced pneumonia. But with the flu it's people who get seriously ill who need a long time to recover. With covid the extraordinary claim is that a significant percentage of people who catch it but are mildly symptomatic throughout still experience major loss of lung function, fatigue, etc. I find it hard to believe that perfectly healthy people get a debilitating "long covid" illness after a very mild covid infection.

I'm not a k8s expert. Just touched it a bit here and there. And IMO yaml is fine but the problem is you often need yaml templates.

Wait the US doesn't have a centralized/shared medical records service? I never realized that! In France, I suppose like in the UK, we have our "Carte Vitale" ("Life/Vital Card"), which is scanned each visit to a doctor, hospital, pharmacy, etc, each updating your personal database nationally.

It also serves as a link to your insurance provider in each location, so reimbursements are automatic.

Show HN: Placekey – An ID for Every Place
Hi, HN, I'm Roshan and I'm part of the team that's launching the Placekey today at https://placekey.io. It is a free and open universal standard identifier we built so that data pertaining to places can be shared across organizations easily.

A Placekey is a short identifier that has Address and POI sections detailing What is at a place and a section describing Where on the globe the place is. Eventually, there will be a Placekey for every place in the world, even those without postal addresses. US geospatial data from a large array of partners https://www.placekey.io/partners can already be associated and cross-referenced using Placekey. By allowing every place to be represented by a canonical string, data scientists and researchers can easily join datasets and share geospatial information with each other.

Generating a Placekey will always be free, whether you do so using https://placekey.io or the API available at https://dev.placekey.io. And storing a Placekey is permitted for any reason, whether you want to cache it, use it to exchange information with someone else, or to fulfill any other purpose you can think of.

Finally, any requests you make to the Placekey API are completely private. They will be used to improve Placekey's matching and resolution, but will never be shared with or sold to third parties.

Some more details are in our:

* FAQ - https://placekey.io/faq

* API Documentation - https://docs.placekey.io/

Try generating one at https://placekey.io/ No signup required.

Tesla Roadster: 2008 (in tiny numbers; niche non-mass-market product)

Nissan Leaf: 2010

Renault Zoe: 2012

Tesla Model S: 2012

The Leaf was a big seller, and the Zoe outsells Tesla's entire line-up in Europe.

I think it would be fair to say that Tesla really sold the idea of a _performance_ electric car, but not electric cars as a whole.

Building Secure and Reliable Systems (O'Reilly, Google Cloud) [pdf]
Nobody is saying every single person in the midwest is only friendly to white people. This is so obstinate it doesn't even seem genuine to me.

At the risk of feeding the trolls -- I grew up in the midwest. I can tell you that I both experienced racism myself and saw a lot of it in my high school both in students and from my classmate's parents. Of course everyone isn't racist, and most folks are friendly and accepting. But comments like this downplay the experience that many people in these places do have. In my experience, it takes a relatively small number of racist people and a whole bunch of folks who don't call that shit out to make it less comfortable for someone who isn't white in their day to day lives.
