I think it's a good idea. But when deciding whether to acquire a company or not, there are several factors involved, only one of which is the technical fit.

I have a phobia of cockroaches, having grown up in a place where they would appear here and there. I am grossed out by their body's front side especially. I've avoided opening their site in case they put up an actual picture of a cockroach.
In this space, a significant issue, maybe the main one, is configuration and deployment.

Lacking a single, blessed, vendor that can do this seems like it might be an obstacle for adoption.
Maybe a better approach to this problem than a lawsuit or a direct competitor to Yelp is a website for business to log/track Yelps bullshit. A sort of class-action lawsuit gathering point.

Aka, something like 'YelpEvidence.com' where businesses can catalog this routine behavior, and gather the kind of information a law firm could actual use. It might be enough of to force Yelp to change their ways.

I would like to see the US Digital Service continue to task technologists with improving EMR systems at CMS (Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services), but made free to use by all practitioners and citizens (and of course, open sourcing the resulting codebase). It seems sort of inefficient we keep reinventing the wheel (Epic and the like, which are crazy expensive, or self hosted solutions, when practitioners should not be spending time maintaining EMRs), when your records should be stored for your benefit by your government over the course of your life. This is where, imho, high calibre engineers provide the most leverage (one way ratchets on public goods at scale).

I gave away technical books at my local library as they had a "free books section". Some of them were older editions of industry standard text books (Real-time rendering and PBRT first edition), but the library refused to take donations because they were "technical books". Granted a lot of them were really outdated 90s technical game programming books like "Windows 95 Game SDK Strategy Guide" and "The Black Art of Windows Game Programming".
It's a challenge talking about this topic. It's very easy to come off as "I'm better than you" or "you are a bad person". But these conversations can be productive and non-offensive.

I encourage people to see a wide continuum between eating 100% meat and eating 0% animal products. I express that I understand the challenges in decreasing one's meat consumption. I point out that it's not all or nothing - you can be "mostly vegan" (while still consuming animal products sometimes).

It's best to have conversations like this when the person is asking, not because you "caught" them eating an animal product.

Because of how grim the reality is for animals raised for food, most people are reluctant to be exposed to what it means. They will hope that (and not look for evidence against their belief that) the meat they buy comes from a better place (it's worth pointing out that in the US about 99% of meat comes from factory farms).

As I said - people's values are likely aligned. Polls consistently show that people do not approve of animal abuse.

The final argument that made me drastically decrease my meat consumption was the empirical fact that individual choices matter:while supermarkets are not 100% responsive (buying 1 item less decreases their next order by 1 item), they are responsive to demand. And if they buy in batches (which they likely do), you have a chance of triggering a "next-larger" batch order. On average it all works out to an (economic) elasticity of less than 1, but a far cry from 0 (depends on type of meat, but rough figure of 0.5 is a sensible underestimate).
Depending on where you live, ZocDoc can be a great way to find a therapist: https://www.zocdoc.com/

I'd recommend searching "psychotherapist" or "psychologist". Psychiatrists seem to be more focused on prescribing medication than helping you work through your issues.
I heard this same narrative in 2000, and it didn't happen, in fact the opposite. If you want people to believe that more people coding leads to offshoring and thus universally low wages, you'll have to make a more convincing argument to convince us that history is wrong (and not just wrong, went the complete opposite direction).
Pure eugenics. But it's ok for some reason this time.
What's the problem with style attributes? I would use them instead of regular CSS if I could add pseudo-attributes and make them responsive. Since I can't I use Tailwind where that's possible.
Not always, I guess.

If you count raw number of features edited, it's way easier to crank up the number by drawing some buildings, forests, lakes, landuse from satellite/aerial imagery.

Whereas things like points of interest (shops, services, tourist-related stuff) won't get you a high number, but arguably are more important.

Corporate editors in under-mapped countries certainly can add much more data than average mappers do.
Looked into tailwind 2-3 times and simply couldn't see the appeal. Working on analytical-dashboards in react, I mostly end up writing css straight in js using material-ui's makestyles. There's only so many components to style before I start reusing them and the css needed to make something 'not-look-too-crappy' is actually quite low.

Now after learning all the css basics, I'd have to learn yet another 'system' again? I think I'll pass.

On the other hand if I'd be constantly restyling webpages with hundreds of different components etc., I might consider it again...
Amazing that people are downvoting this when Apple Arcade exists to prove it.
Really? Is every person on earth with certain capability doing or getting opportunity to do exactly that work.
> And without data, the question is not which solution to the problem is correct, but which one you like best.

I think this is correct to some extent, ultimately unavoidable, and some assumptions can be "inferred" as more reasonable than others, even in the absence of falsification.

By Sabine's stance, the problem of induction [0] hasn't been "solved" because we actually have no reason to assume that past events are at all related to future events. So when we say that induction is possible, we say so because we "like best" that theory of causality, rather than my alternate theory that when you finish reading this sentence, all physics will cease to function and the universe will end.

It didn't happen, but we had no reason to know so ahead of time deductively. However, it is still reasonable (in my view) to believe in induction.

So sure, it's perhaps 'unsolvable', but if a plausible explanation comes around that is consistent with modern physics that seems good to me.

The Devuan instructions say to use the apt packages. If you go back in time: https://web.archive.org/web/20200513114445/https://certbot.e... they used to say use apt packages. Not sure why they changed.
I think there are two reasons:

- you can copy the classes from html directly into @apply (you need to tinker a bit more to get responsive/hover/etc classes to work, though)

- you work with predefined values, so if you switch color in tailwind.config.js, it's gonna get correct value in the @apply class too.

That's the way I see it
better update channel in terms of certbot itself? I would think this way it's better as debian releases roll on and ppl are still on older version they can still get that same snap channel?

True there is not one answer for everyone. I just know Ive been a part of companies where we go IAAS, get rid of the people that have the knowledge to manage infrastructure and when it comes time to need the knowledge again we either need to get consultants or hire at a much more expensive rate as for infrastructure management talent pool is getting smaller everyday. To be fair I deal with the headaches more than the everything is fine and dandy so my views are skewed as a result.
I was just responding to the GP regarding when candidates are tested. Sure they're symptoms. That'd be relevant if they were following the non-placebo group to test for long-term organ damages or other "symptoms" too. The easier way would be to consistently test all candidates for asymptomatic covid which isn't the case here.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the data here. It seems like we've only directly proven that the vaccine has been effective at reducing the normal symptoms (coughs, fevers) to the point where candidates don't seem to be prompted enough to go get tested anymore. It doesn't directly prove those candidates didn't get covid.
As noted below, it's a lot more than the CPU.

In my opinion, part of the value in a therapist is that they don't know you, so they can provide advice not clouded by a shared history or any loyalty to you.
How do synthetic fuels solve the CO2 problem?
After I did a Show HN about my OSM-powered project (https://trailrouter.com), I saw first hand a little of the positive impact of large corporate involvement in OSM. Two of the very large companies mentioned in the article got in touch with me to find out what what could be done to improve the state of data in OSM useful for pedestrian routing. They were conscious that a disproportionate amount of effort went into supporting motorised vehicles, and wanted to improve the situation.

Of course, they were doing so out of self interest too, and openly acknowledged this. But they openly shared their own datasets and offered resources/advice too.

The OSM data is so powerful (and I don't mean the map - I'm referring to the tags, which are a hidden gem). I'm all for anything that continues to improve this data.
I think she also believes that, since the problem is not even close to being testable at this time at least, it is not really worth studying to the current extent - any theories about it would only remain mathematical constructs, not physical theories.

The job market is pretty unequal here. The software jobs that pay high professional salaries are indeed competitive, but there are quite a few lower-paid jobs available.

I don't know if this is the case in your country, but my impression of the European market is that the pay difference between a "mediocre" and "good" job is pretty small: say, €40k vs €50k / year for an entry-level job in one of the richer countries. In the US, a mediocre entry-level job might pay $50k / year while a top-tier one pays $150k or more.

The level of competition for the higher tier is extreme.
Tailwind is the best "css framework" ive ever used in my entire history of web design / programming.
Then the conversation will be "Look Matt, it really doesn't make sense to pay you a premium just because you want to work SF. If you want to stay that's fine, but we'll be downgrading your pay to meet company standards."

Yes, this is a fantasy of many businesses, but it only works in a down market when a business does not have to meaningfully compete for employees with other businesses.
That's still better than a lot of healthcare software. I have no issues with it running PHP, CVS is more of a hassle for devs. My current EMR only recently came out with a UI that works outside of IE and their proprietary ActiveX controls.
If you're fine with the laptop, is there any reason to use the desktop? Why not just keep it as a backup dev environment? That's what I do.

If you're an emacs user, you can put an emacs daemon somewhere accessible and connect emacs clients from both machines. This allows you to continue on your work when switching machines without even saving.

Vim doesn't have the same type of server functionality, but if you open up vim on a file that another vim process has opened, it'll ask you if you want to open it up in the same (maybe unsaved) state the original process has and so continue to work on it.

You can also work from tmux.

There's many ways to go about this depending on what you consider to be the "development state" you want to preserve (like, does it include the graphical windows and optionally their positions?), but the simplest for me still seems to be to avoid the whole issue and work almost exclusively on the laptop.
What often gets missed in the tailwind debate is how it forces you to use a design system. When you’re writing CSS by hand it can quickly get out of control when you need to bump something up or down, left or right by a notch. If you add padding it should be related to font size, line-height, etc on some sort of cohesive, harmonious scale. By using a Tailwind class of py-2 rather than writing a CSS class you can be confident that the change will fit with the design system as a whole. This is much better for most people than creating your own design system from scratch every time you need to make a web page. Once your design starts to solidify, just extract out common components like “button” out of the html using @apply.
Did anyone think AWS was about saving money?
I wonder if Dropbox is an outlier.

Their product is extremely close to basically just reselling storage space. Of course it makes sense for them to build their own infrastructure.

For a company whose product is a saas application (business logic in code) with users spending hundreds or thousands of dollars per month, those cost savings may never materialize relative to the amount of infrastructure each customer is using per dollar.

Dropbox is essentially buying a barrel of gasoline and selling it in gallons. Their product can never be profusely more valuable than the underlying infrastructure.

As I recall there are giants like Netflix that still run on AWS...which brings up another point! If you’re large enough to consider your own data center, you’re large enough to negotiate contracts with cloud providers at below-retail rates.

mental health is probably one of the worst aspects of a very dysfunctional US healthcare system. Somehow your friends ended up with an incredibly generous health plan (by the way, not "free", I'm guessing very expensive for their employers), but I assure you this is far from the norm.
Hey, at least it's not MUMPS. And CVS? Compared to certain other EHS software, that's luxury.
Years ago, Apple banned Camera+ for allowing to take a photo with the volume switch (instead of using an onscreen button). It was "too confusing" and against their Human Interface Guidelines. Then they added that exact feature to the default iOS camera app.
Yes, see my comment above on that. If this is the kind of feedback being given, then the person is well beyond the level of help that I'm talking about.
> - Dropbox spends $200K/year (salary, benefits, equipment, SaaS, etc.) for their average infrastructure engineer

The usual rule of thumb is that you assume 2:1 for salary and support costs — that starts to drift at the higher end of the pay scale but I'd doubt that a company in San Francisco isn't paying a substantial amount for office space, health insurance, etc.

Your general point is still correct: call it a hundred engineers to break-even and it's likely still a substantial win, and there are some interesting angles for additional cost-optimization given Dropbox's mix of high network traffic and long-tail storage.
You may have a look at http://hdyc.neis-one.org/?Stereo to try and find metrics relevant to you (example profile, to retain privacy profiles are hidden behind an OSM account login-wall, unless said user links to that page in their OSM profile site, which this example user did)

One great metric is mapping days (distinct calendar days in which the user was active) which sort of abstracts the fact that different people tend to have a different idea how much work warrants a single changeset.
I highly recommend an episode of the podcast "You Are Not So Smart" where David McRaney speaks with Misha Glouberman who explains "How to talk to people about things", it's a fantastic list multiple times over - https://youarenotsosmart.com/2018/12/17/yanss-143-how-to-tal...
All of your examples are geography dependent and is not actually equal work - the Oklahoma barista can't do the same job as the SF barista, because telecommuting baristas is not a thing.

But if the job role is to maintain a server fleet, and you can realistically do the job from anywhere, then you should get paid the same amount whether you happen to be in SF or Oklahoma, since you can complete the job in the same manner.

Equal pay for equal work makes sense - what doesn't make sense is to assume that the pay will normalize into bay-area level pay, versus bay-area level pay being lowered because companies realize they can pay everyone 70% as much and have the employees live in lower cost of living areas.
Does this new generation of mRNA vaccines even have carriers in the conventional sense?

But when you can change payloads of a pre-validated generic carrier at will you are roughly on the same level of biotechnological advancedness as the mRNA companies anyways, both are lightyears ahead of ancient techniques like breeding weaker viruses in animals or neutering them somehow before injection. A lot of vaccine skepticism seems to be based on the performance of those old ways, it would probably be quite wise to avoid a vaccine that was come up by old trial&error methods in less than a decade.
Absolutely untrue. Many well-meaning devs who paint entirely within the lines end up in review purgatory due to capricious interpretations of Apple's broad/vague rules.
Wish them luck but I doubt Google will still give this sufficient attention in 10 years.
Tailwind is the most counterintuitive yet obvious-in-hindsight CSS tool (or of any class - no pun intended) I've worked with.

I know the general sentiment towards Tailwind is "I spent years getting my separation of concerns with HTML/CSS down, but now you're telling me all that is backwards and CSS Zen Garden is blasphemy?" I was in the same boat. Tailwind just felt wrong, and with 15+ years of experience, I've come to trust my intuition. After watching several videos, and reading all the canonical articles on Tailwind, I still wasn't convinced this was anything more than a fad full of bad practices.

But the one thing I'll let trump my intuition is curiosity. So I used Tailwind on a medium-sized project for a couple months and was blown away by the productivity and maintainability. It took using it for a couple weeks to "get it". I had a positive ROI on this project, even considering the learning curve!

If you still think "Tailwind feels wrong, what am I missing?" I'd suggest reflecting on the following:

1) You probably haven't actually delved into Tailwind on a non-trivial project. I understand learning a new framework isn't a trivial undertaking, but it's the only thing standing in your way of discovering your "truth".

2) If you feel Tailwind is too much like inline styles, think of the difference between the infinite possibilities of strings defining a "type" vs. a discrete enum type. Tailwind classes are the enum type values.

3) If you're struggling to abstract reusable higher-level classes/components, the problem might actually be with inconsistent and non-modular design, not CSS tooling. If every page or section is a "unique work of art" then you may have poor UX/design.
Usually people cite the financing incentives when people mistakenly use the "cash is king" strategy when trying to negotiate on a car, but it isn't the only way they're making money. Dealers make significant money from manufacturer kick-backs and service too.

Also 1% sounds too low for an independent bank loan, even with the now-cratered loan rates. I am guessing that is probably a subsidized loan through a manufacturer's bank. Manufacturers have long offered artificially low rates through their own banks to help move product.
I think there is some value (for the right project) in longer form works that aren't just a series of independent articles. Of course, nothing wrong with publishing excerpts. There's also nothing wrong with writing a shorter book if that fits the subject matter. Just because the economics of the publishing industry tend to force length to 250+ pages doesn't mean you can't do a 75-100 page book on your own.

I'm not sure how important physical books are outside of Amazon at this point.

But YMMV of course. I'm in a situation where my books are about gaining credibility and visibility. The money is very incidental.
The study is not about usefulness of wearing mask during epidemic. It's limited to the usefulness of wearing surgical mask to protect the wearer.

There is lots of evidence that wearing mask protects others, that's why surgeons wear surgical masks during surgery.

Surgical masks are not intended to protect the wearer, you need medical respirator for that. The question is how effective they are in doing job they are not designed to do. It seems to be limited, maybe around 30-50% depending on the study.
That is true for all lawsuits.

The more damning implication is that Apple, one of the world's most highly valued brands, a brand name that has historically commanded 50%+ gross profit margins on commodity goods sold as luxury goods, is losing a 'popularity' contest to a video game company. Talk of changing times!
