Sure but for what it’s worth, Apple isn’t in the same position as other platforms in many ways, so we can’t always generalize.

People don’t care about problems other platforms have the way there care about Apple, and the media gets to make money out of the slightest issue.

This is a consequence of their market position.

That said, I do agree with you to some degree.

Control is definitely a tool they reach for by default, and they need to learn some new methods as we see the limits exposed by issues like this.
The level of Waypoint abstraction is the same as Terraform. You are not expected to use Waypoint and not understand the underlying platform. This is similar to Terraform: you still have to know something like AWS well to use Terraform.

With Waypoint, we aren't doing any magic, you specifically opt into a Kubernetes plugin for example. If something goes wrong, you'll have to understand Kubernetes. Waypoint isn't trying to replace that, we're just trying to provide a common workflow on top of these platforms (same as Terraform with infra).

Hey thanks for educating me about this. I dunno why my inquiry was downvoted (was it not additive to ask for more sourcing?) but I did want to say genuinely I appreciate actual law I can point to and track over time. Has it been used to prosecute anyone that you're aware of, or how has it been applied in courts? Thanks again!
Until 2012 I was using an old laptop, Celeron with 760mb RAM, running Lubuntu and Windows XP. It was very crappy, but allowed me to do some web freelancing (thanks Sublime Text, I miss you) and browse web in general (sure, one thing at a time. Sometimes I couldn't listen to music on Banshee and have a heavy RAM tab opened). That's what I could afford at the time. Today I got a powerful Dell laptop, don't care anymore about these micro optimizations. I feel like I'm betraying my old self, hah.
Nice hack. Good company name hack, too
Put another way (by Jim Cramer):

For data warehouse plays, revenue growth + profit margin should be > 40.

In other words, you can focus on high sales growth to plan for future profits, but if your sales growth is lagging you should be turning good profits now.

That may have been the intent but my experience is that I still need to install drivers to get this to either work at all or work with all the features of the device.

>You've never understood why parents protect children from things that they will eventually be exposed to as adults? If your goal is to give your children unfiltered access to "reality," parents are entirely unnecessary after birth.

Hey I have a different opinion than you. I think you should respect that rather than say parents are unnecessary after birth. That's rude.

First off think about it logically. Why indeed do parents have to protect children from things they will not only be exposed to as adults but things they will inevitably seek and successfully expose themselves to BEFORE they become adults.

Your job as a parent is to protect your kid from actual harm and to teach your kid and feed your kid and guide your kid. Your optional side job is to protect your kid from "reality" that's your own personal choice and there are actual scientific observations of the result.

The podcast below actually illustrates a scientific study on the subject:

https://www.npr.org/programs/invisibilia/378577902/how-to-be...

A part of it actually follows two blind kids with different parents and different parenting choices.

One parent chose to protect his blind kid from reality.

The other parent gave the blind kid a bike for a birthday present two weeks after the crazy blind kid lost his two front teeth from running into a wall.

Do you want to know the end result of sheltering a blind kid versus encouraging one to explore reality? Watch the podcast to find out. Very interesting if your a parent. Let's just say one blind kid (now adult) now walks around the world as if he can see and literally uses echolocation to navigate the world. The other blind kid walks the world as if he's a crippled blind man.

Here's another one: https://www.npr.org/2015/01/16/377517810/world-with-no-fear

Also about kids. Talking about how kids today only wander around their homes while kids in the 60s and 70s wander around the whole town by themselves. It's attributed to different parenting styles and fear of exposing kids to the real world.

Parents in the 70s were much less fearful about protecting kids from reality. Parents today are scared of everything. But the illogical difference here is that from the 70s to now, crime has actually gone down. Your kids today are more safe than ever before but parents are more restrictive and scared than they ever were before.

Exactly. I'm going to get my clearance in the same format every time. It will be a clearance limit, route, altitude, frequency, and transponder code.

There are three possible beliefs or how people operate in their daily lives (among others).

1. You believe algorithms are biased and must be analyzed for neutrality.

2. You believe algorithms are neutral and there is no need to question them.

3. You don't have the time or the aptitude to pay attention to the algorithms that run our lives. [in effect, you behave like algorithms are neutral]

I think OP's claim is closer to 3 than 2.
Between Windows, macOS and Linux, I prefer Linux.

Packaging systems make things easier. You can install software in less than a minute, and keep things updated pretty easily.

Linux is not the frequent target of malware, specifically ransomware. There will be always that one non-compliant person in an org that clicks every link and believes in every email and having that person use Windows is a bad idea.

Office suites used to suck on Linux... not anymore. SoftMaker Office is on par with Microsoft Office for the most essential use cases.

Gaming is getting better on Linux with many native games, as well as Wine, Proton and DXVK... Many games run pretty well on Linux, you can check ProtonDB for details. Perhaps not every game or the newest games, but you can have a decent gaming experience on Linux.

And for development, Linux is king. Everything is observable, everything can be measured, most things have debugging symbols and source code. On Windows, get used to read assembly code and become a reverse engineer if you want to understand what's going on.
"Wisdom of crowds" as described in early internet essays is only sustainable when the crowds are motivated by some intrinsic purpose and not by financial gain. Financial incentives applied to "the crowd" generally lead to spam, rating extortion, and various other corruption.
Big movement in Iceland on this. Ministry of Finance has multiple teams working in a shared codebase that is open on github, that is supposed to be a shared repository to aggregate the whole gov user experience in one place (island.is). Another example; I’m using an NLP library (Greynir) that was recently MIT licensed because of Icelandic government grants (was previously on a less liberal, but still open license).

This story, with its --ahem-- questionable provenance and its utter lack of any actual dirt on Joe Biden (as opposed to on Hunter Biden, whom no one already has any illusions about), would be a nothingburger, forgotten after 2 weeks, if not for Twitter and Facebook choosing to die on that hill. And now I guess it won't die down until spring, because even if 90% of media hate Trump, enough of them hate Facebook and/or are worried they're next on the black^H^H^Hocklist. Well played!

YC Gaming Startups Are Hiring (Job Expo with Emmett Shear, CEO of Twitch)
Event page: https://www.workatastartup.com/events/gaming-tech-talks-2020

YC's Work at a Startup and founders and teams of 8 YC gaming startups are coming together to host a first ever job expo focused on gaming this November. Emmett Shear, CEO of Twitch will be joining us to share his insights on how the business and technology of gaming is rapidly changing.
Aside from Emmett (if you haven't seen it, check out his excellent TED Talk on what streaming means for the future of entertainment: https://www.ted.com/talks/emmett_shear_what_streaming_means_...), we've got three pretty cool 10-minute lightning talks lined up:

- Designing Characters with Deep Learning, Cory Li, Founder at Spellbrush (W18)

- Synthetic Media: Virtual Influencers and Live Animation, Jay Rosenkrantz, Founder at Figments (S19)

- MMOs in the Instagram Era, Jimmy Xu, Founder at Highrise (S18)

After the talks, we'll open up a virtual expo hall to meet with the founders and teams.

Many of the gaming startups fly under the radar at YC, but in my (biased!) opinion, if you love games they're some of the most exciting. And the gaming industry often tackles some of the most exciting and challenging frontier technology problems before anyone else.

Working at a startup is not for everyone - and gaming startups are some of the craziest for sure. But if you're in a position to go for it, based on my experiences I can say there might be no greater adventure. So if this piques your interest, check out the event link and apply to attend/come learn about open roles in engineering, game design, art, marketing/media and more.

Hope to see you there! https://www.workatastartup.com/events/gaming-tech-talks-2020
> Sure they do. I'm sure they are perfectly OK with engineers being passionate about Trump, pro-life, religion... Yeah.

They aren't not okay with it. You will, of course, run the risk that your fellow engineers will think you're an idiot, especially if you fail to back up your position with evidence and consider other people's positions on the topic. But refraining from actively discouraging such conversation is part of the whole "bring your whole self to work" culture at Google.

I do believe they have cooled somewhat on the topic however, after they encountered both a wave of leaks of internal company correspondence and the Damore fiasco, which was bad press for them whether or not they were in the right to terminate him.

I believe BuildKit solves the dependency graph problem. Docker has shipped with it since 18.09. It is opt-in for now so you have to use e.g. `DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build ...`.

Are suburbs any different? I’ve visited at least a dozen suburban areas during the current pandemic and they are all as equally affected by the pandemic as cities are.

It’s important to note also that sanitation, preparedness, and scientific knowledge will all continue to improve over time. Pandemics may become more common but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they will be as deadly or effective as the current one.
The possibility that a lot of that investment might be coming from pension funds or from government-insured banks is concerning.
> very different to the likes of Opera Mini [...] In Cloudflare's case, the rendering happens on the server and only rasterization commands are sent to the clients.

Literally exactly what Opera Mini has done since circa 2005[0]. The main difference here is that Opera Mini progressed to the gp's "2025" scenario quite some time ago by adding limited support for events alongside OBML's rasterization commands.

I think this is one of the damned if you do, damned if you don’t situations. Twitter and Facebook were largely blamed by traditional media for being a vector of misinformation that harmed the American public in 2016, and suffered a lost of trust then. When they try to combat that, whoever would have benefited from the material being censored will cry fowl, and it was a doomed venture from the start.
And hosting, and support?
> There is nothing twisted about my interpretations, and I’m not defending Apple.

I stopped reading there. It's as false as it is shameless to make such a claim after all the comments you spammed across the whole thread.
I'm not the person you're responding to, but - yeah, that's a perfectly reasonable word in this situation. "Likely to cause problems". They're not (I assume!) trying to make any social-justice-related implications.

(I don't actually agree with the evaluation - ATC and associated parties are probably well-adjusted to that speed of communication)

All safety and instruction communication must be read back and identified. If the read-back is incorrect, or the pilot responds with "say again" (or even "speak slower"), then the controller can slow down, but the controller never just assumes understanding.

Well, we've had some disagreement over the extent to which (1) applies to Haiku for sure. Maybe there have been some changes there but the way it appeared to be implemented a while back I would say didn't quite meet (1), especially by convention if not by technical limitation.

If Haiku actually does (6) as I imagine it, that's actually something I had no idea about and probably deserves its own article. Ditto (4).

I'm genuinely glad to hear about future plans for (3) and (5).

These are the kinds of features that would make it more appealing to me than a Linux distro despite some of its current shortcomings.
This sounds like a market opportunity. If Glassdoor has pivoted to shilling for other corporations, someone should turn around and make a site that allows honest negative reviews of companies.

Anyone interested?
> It's just an analogy that happens to fit Apple's world view of their App Store.

The problem with the world view, of course, is that there's more to the world than Best Buy.

If I don't like a widget at Best Buy I can go look it up and buy it from Amazon. Or Target. Or Walmart. Or Alibaba.

If I use an iPhone I am limited to what Apple allows on their shelves, full stop. If Best Buy dictated everything you were allowed to buy, that would seem rather problematic, right? I can't see any way that a corporate executive would justify not only not placing a certain brand on their shelves, but also physically blocking their customers from walking into any other store. Imagine the PR field day if an Apple store manager paid his or her employees to stand in front of the Microsoft store and physically assault any of their customers if they tried to walk inside!

And yet that's exactly what they're doing virtually. We can't use a Microsoft app store, or an Amazon app store, or Google Play. We are beholden to the manager's personal preferences of what we can and can't buy.
Do you think Quora also does it or might do in future? I would trust Quora more.

I have mixed feelings. Learning Lisp was extremely eye-opening, and I was amazed at how much could be done with such a simple language. It inspired me to learn way more about theoretical CS, knowledge which continues to serve me to this day, even though I wound up in a different field. I definitely came away a believer in Greenspun's tenth rule.

OTOH, for most 61a students, this course (indeed the entire major) amounts to a very expensive form of vocational training. Developing an aesthetic appreciation for finely crafted code seems somewhat orthogonal to their end goal, which in 99% of cases is getting a high-paying job writing Python, C++, or some other A-list language. I can't really see the benefit of a formative semester spent on honing their Lisp chops. As educators, we want to believe that the latter leads to the former, but I'm a bit skeptical.
Government regulation has its own obvious failure modes (various kinds of corruption, industry capture, or underfunding), so you can't say one is always better than the other. It all depends. There is no guaranteed solution. Hopefully some better Glassdoor competitor will come along.

Not exactly, I just meant that they could largely solve the problem by ending the algorithms that massive boost distribution for "engaging" content.
It's ironic, but sites with terrible design complaining about other sites with terrible design - HN rules say you can't call out their hypocrisy anymore :)
Didn't Germany already try this exact method and fail following their post-WWI sanctions? They had to pay back something like $132 billion gold marks London Schedule of Payments required Germany to pay ~ $132 billion gold marks and issued a bunch of currency leading to hyerinflation? And resentment, populism and nationalism rose and things went pear shaped from there.
Well, the author proposes the algorithm used should be open, i.e. known to the user. But this means the user will try to game it, so the creator would prefer to keep it secret. The big question is: can we make a transparent algorithm that can't be gamed (spam, SEO, etc.)? As cryptography demonstrates, this is definitely possible, but requires a lot of research, smart design and may not be cheap to implement.

I'll just point out the existence of the movie "office space" in here as evidence that yes, people were frustrated with printers. That movie came out in 1999, and the most iconic scene is the printer being smashed. That resonated for very good reasons, printers (and drivers) were almost more obnoxious back then than they are now. Please lose the superior "adult in the room" tone.
I've been pondering this idea. STEAL IT! Build a service that only hosts comments that were deleted from popular sites. Then for any given youtube channel or company review you'd be able to check what kinds of comments are deleted over there.

Are there any legal issues to this?
I think I see what you're getting at - you're trying to create a standard way to build and deploy applications, in the way that Terraform is a standard way to build and deploy infrastructure, so to speak.

However, I think that one of the big differences here is that a lot of the reason why infrastructure scripts are messy is because they have to deal with state that's hidden behind a remote API, and that Terraform took the imperative APIs for providers like AWS and abstracted them behind a declarative configuration model that also kept track of state. So this was a huge value add compared to infrastructure scripts that would often get corner-cases involved with state wrong.

I'm not sure how much that's the case with application development though. Dockerfiles are declarative, as are Kubernetes manifests. The state of the environment is less of an issue - if a new version is being built, that's what gets deployed, and it overwrites what previously exists.

If there's any state management around application deployment, it's around detecting errors and rolling back if there are any. If Waypoint would move in the direction of standardizing that, so that developers could encode smoke tests for their application that Waypoint is constantly checking, then that would be huge - but it doesn't seem to be on your roadmap?

I wish more companies would separate the cost of _current revenue_ vs the growth investment of future revenue. I.e. Say it cost 30M to generate 100M, and 150M was invested in R&D and future sales. Even though it has negative revenue (100 - 150 - 30), the products that were sold are clearly profitable. Which imho is very different than saying the company is losing 80M a year.
The posts should be allowed particularly if they're false. If people are allowed to say true things, then that's not particularly valuable information. However, the content's of someone's lies usually says more than the truth (which can often be obtained elsewhere).
