I've worked in multiple startups/bootstrapped enterprises that started as consultancies to pay for the development of internal tools with the ultimate goal of licensing the tools. It doesn't always work but its the least bad validation strategy I've seen.

I find 1) and 2) of your "bad" items to be more nuanced. Mostly because outside of software development most industries do not have the capacity to build a solution outside their particular flavor of a problem, and they don't do it internally. They hire consultants to do it, and there are enormous inefficiencies that prevent their solution from turning into a product.

All bandwidth is shared at some point, but in practice, cable is far more oversubscribed. And they don’t advertise any upload bandwidth. And the download bandwidth they advertise are temporary burst speeds they get from degrading others’ speeds.

Cable companies have an incentive to continue allocating their bandwidth for cable tv channels, and offering the bare minimum (see lack of upload) to internet subscribers since there’s usually no competition. And I’m not an engineer or anything, so while I can’t say for sure if coaxial cable is inferior to fiber optic, the fact that every single fiber connection I’ve used is far snappier and higher bandwidth than coaxial cable leads me to believe it is true, at least for all practical matters.

But DKIM has already existed since around 2004, but the first draft of DMARC was seven years after that. In other words, the empty DKIM is for backward compatibilty that signals to other servers which does not yet read DMARC but already does DKIM verification that this domain does not send emails.
Congratulations, you're already complicating the status page.

The status page shouldn't be figuring out what the status of any service is. It's impossible to do without a lot of contextual information about a service and understanding how to evaluate service impact, something that is continually in flux.

It just needs to be a page that is updated manually. AWS has a 24x7 incident management team that could / should do it.

That's a lot of writing to blame a singular event for the rise of disinformation within conservative circles that ignores a whole lot of other reasons that conservatives are prone to this type of disinfo and not (American) liberals.

JIRA is the slowest website I use in current year. If it was a consumer site like Youtube or Twitter, I'd long stop visiting. You can feel the gears slowly turning whenever you click something. When I click the wrong button I get that pang of anxiety like you used to get when you accidentally opened Photoshop back in the day and had to wait the 20 seconds for it to load.
Tried OBS on Ubuntu to do this kind of thing at work but it added several seconds of latency. Is this normal and how does OP's app get around this?
Also, these companies have MASSIVE sales forces (no pun intended). By acquiring a decent enterprise product and throwing teams of sales guys on it they can make a lot of money.

Returns aren’t as good if acquisition is high, like slack will be.
If you say so. I'm not really interested in startups, I just think people are kidding themselves about what is shiney stuff for addlebrained idiots and what is boring technology that serious people use to do serious business things.

Sorry but there is zero information in that title. I'm not going to use that. The intention of my post is to make more people aware of this new 'feature'.

If some other user had posted this article with that title, I wouldn't have clicked it and I wouldn't have know of this new change.
The study mostly shows that the media let the administration frame how the situation was reported.

"This study supports four major findings about the media’s coverage of WMD during the three periods: 1. Most media outlets represented WMD as a monolithic menace, failing to adequately distinguish between weapons programs and actual weapons or to address the real differences among chemi-cal, biological, nuclear, and radiological weapons. 2. Most journalists accepted the Bush administration’s formulation of the “War on Terror” as a campaign against WMD, in contrast to coverage during the Clinton era, when many journalists made careful distinctions between acts of terrorism and the acquisition and use of WMD. 3. Many stories stenographically reported the incumbent administration’s perspective on WMD, giving too little critical examination of the way officials framed the events, issues, threats, and policy options. 4. Too few stories proffered alternative perspectives to official line, a problem exacerbated by the journalistic prioritizing of breaking-news stories and the “inverted pyramid” style of storytelling. "

Which is fair, I guess. But still, most news outlets internationally were doubtful that Iraq had WMDs and were vindicated after the war.
> I pushed hard to get the powers that be to focus more on performance and payload

If I was in Atlassian's situation this would be the last thing to focus on.

a) This is the biggest ever rewrite of their most important products. In this situation maintaining feature set compatibility is always going to be priority A, B to Z.

b) Their paying customers are mostly in the enterprise space who have very fast internet and stable environments i.e. payloads are quickly cached.
Yes, it is very easy to get absorbed in a mindless, repetitive task. You'll feel superficially productive afterwards, but what did it all amount to?

I once spent several hours grepping and changing every instance of `if (foo != true)` in a multi-million LOC codebase. Was it a good use of my time? Not at all.
Well sure, for a single person team. But as soon as you're working with other people, surely you want an independent machine making builds and running tests— this is literally item 3 on the Joel Test.

Burned out nurses and nurse feeling guilty and covering up for admin cost cutting doesn't help anyone.

From a nurse prespective it's a difficult choice and without a safety net people are forced into these choices. There is no easy answer now. I would not know what to tell them.
To be fair, the actual 'far left' is Pro-gun. You're confusing leftism with Neoliberalism (you're not alone in this thread). The anti-gun people in this category are firmly rooted in the Auth-Right quadrant of the political compass (just a few hairs to the 'left' of Modern Republicanism).

That being said, it's understandable why these platforms don't want to be involved with promoting 'gun-safety' information, and it's not about censorship, it's about liability. You can't talk about gun-safety without talking about proper operation. This information has implications regardless of a users intentions (good or bad). Imagine the headline: 'Mass Shooter planned attack with help from YouTube videos'... The following uproar would only lead to greater censorship and restriction. Restricting content is not about censorship, but preventing scenarios like this. It's impossible to separate 'safety' from 'tactical training', and I for one, would prefer such information was not readily available to any would-be rogue actors.

If you want to have a gun, that's fine. Take a class. Want tactical training, take a class. Better yet, join the military.

I'm not particularly convinced that owning a gun offers any net-benefit as far as safety is concerned. I'd reckon you're statistically more likely to injure yourself (or a family member) than you are to prevent an attack from an assailant. It's also a really hard argument to make that there is 0 correlation between the high level of gun-ownership in the US and the extremely high homicide rate. Especially when looking at hand-guns (Canada for example has similar levels of 'ownership' and a lower homicide rate, but less hand-gun ownership compared to US).

TLDR; restricting 'gun-safety' info is not about censorship, it's about liability and owning a gun probably doesn't make you 'safer'. (these are, of course, my opinions)

And of course again, it's just to prove how much actual good food it's wasted by simply not considering the alternatives

30gr of chicken at hatching become 1.5 kg of poultry in 3 months

not killing them as soon as they hatch it's good, selling them to someone who's gonna eat them is even better
I believe it is important to keep the physical version at a safe place for as long as possible. How long before a new wave of "flat earthers" decides the digital version is just a deep fake and it never existed?
That 1.8 Mj is the energy in the laser output. I haven’t looked at the numbers for a while, but it probably takes 10x that much energy to operate the laser facility. A commercial fusion power plant will never exist.

And it’s no accident that the article doesn’t mention the laser efficiency. NIF has a public relations office that has honed its game over decades. Their purpose is to influence Congress by selective reporting through press releases and by feeding propaganda into articles like this.
I do enjoy the new Jira UI a lot more than the old one, but yes it is definitely slower and is missing some key features (hotkeys for editing specific ticket fields please!).

Things have been improved with the recent addition of pinned ticket fields, but they still have a long way to go.
That's what I was thinking. $45K is absurd for an engineering job, so it's gotta be in a place like Kansas.
Shouldn't economists and political scientists talk about this, not religious figures? Of course he has the right to say whatever he wants to, but at the same time I feel like this is abusing his authority to have influence on fields he has no expertise in.
I think the main reason for the dissonance is that Schneier talks about the trust that happens (and maybe has to happen in real-world scenarios) while the bitcoin community likes to talk about the minimum amount of trust necessary.

You don't have to trust the software, you can verify it or implement your own. You don't have to trust your internet uplink, the protocol would work over carrier pigeons or with dead drops. You don't have to trust exchanges, just exchange bitcoin for local currency with your neighbor. And even if you use an exchange you shouldn't store money there anyways. The minimum required trust is tiny (basically you yourself), but of course as Schneier points out the amount of trust involved in practise isn't nearly as low, and for many people the failure cases are much worse

That really depends on how complicate the regular expression is. For me this debate sounds like arguing assembly vs C. We will need some sort of abstraction to develop a higher-level stuff in case we need it.

I don't get it. Slack needs a productivity suite to fight off Microsoft eating their lunch with teams getting bundled for free with everything. Salesforce has no synergy with Slack that I can see. I guess you could deeply integrate with the CRM... but why would you want that abomination? The advantage of Slack is that it's centralized communication for the whole company. If it becomes bolted on to the CRM I guarantee other departments at companies will find a new tool.

It’s a good thing you edited your original suggestion:

> “Users may send recent chat history when reporting”

because that is false. According to the article, you have no choice as to whether you send that chat history. It is a _must_ if you want to report.

Your new suggestion is just as bad because it throws out all context about why anyone would care about just another beta. This isn’t a software release track announcement board.
Dunno, the M1 CPU package is tiny, thin, power efficient, etc. It's got 4 memory chips inside the package. I don't see any particular reason why a slightly larger package could have 4 memory chips on one side, and 4 chips on the other to double the memory bandwidth and memory size.

However the M1 is already pretty large (16B transistors), upgrading to 8 fast cores is going to significantly increase that. Maybe they will just go to a dual CPU configuration which would double the cores, memory bandwidth, and total ram.

Or move the GPU and ML accelerator offchip.
Also nurses would come out of retirement or stay working longer. And people would be less likely to quit a nursing degree.
Yes exactly. I don't think an abstract understanding of the costs is enough. If the cost isn't physically or viscerally felt, it just doesn't factor into people's decision making.

This is where the pricing system really comes into great effect. People buy and drive fewer SUVs when gas is more expensive. If we want people to buy fewer SUVs, increase the fuel tax.

Education is not enough, and in fact might not even be necessary at all. Just introduce real costs to capture the "abstract" costs (externalities) and the problem will likely correct itself.
I imagine it more as a tragedy of commons situation. I don't care that much about my privacy right now to sacrifice a lot of convenience. However if enough consumers rejected products that encroach on privacy, we’d get privacy and keep most of convenience.
I liked where your comment started, but that ending, ewww. I'm not the author you responded to but I read it more like.

I'm tired of these people that dont understand how easy it is to violate personal privacy with digital technology getting into digital technology.
Ok, we'll merge into that one. Thanks!
That’s not cynical, that’s the purpose of a bonus. To ensure retention until the bonus is paid, and if you don’t stick around until the payout date, then you don’t get a bonus.

You also stagger the bonus accrual and the payout time so that when the bonus is paid, they are halfway to accruing next year’s bonus so if they want to leave, they have to contemplate giving up a half year’s worth of bonus.
I believe it -- FB have too much incentive to tell people it's E2EE and yet not encrypt it properly. They want that data.

They're just doing a Zoom. A bold faced lie.
Chapter 0: Soldier of Fortune
The average American doesn't even know who Kimberle Crenshaw is. For most of us BLM just means waiting for the next police shooting to show up in the news and on social media (because someone captured a video recording) and hoping our own nearby community isn't involved. Law enforcement in America is a web of federal, state, and local (city or county) laws and no one knows how any individual police officer is trained or what kind of accountability process is in place. The fact that it's different every single time is a huge part of the problem and a source of most of the frustration.

As someone currently living in Wyoming, I’m really disconcerted by SanFran when I visit, as an example. At least Wyoming’s low taxes (no state income tax) and low population explain the state of the infrastructure. SanFran? Not so much, it’s a golden child of incredible economic success, liberal ideals, and horrible (political) mis-management. The issues on infrastructure in the US run much more than Red vs Blue. It’s deeply ingrained in the modern American culture across the board.
I like this approach. Everything it does can be achieved by OBS with a couple of plugins, but this is a very user-friendly packaging of great looking presets: use cases over technology. Also, super fun name.
How about:

"WhatsApp gives option to include recent messages when reporting bad behavior"

End-to-end MACs don't help because the recipient knows the key and thus can generate a valid MAC on a fake message.

But there are plenty of other ways to implement this. Digital signatures. Or if facebook stores the ciphertext, the recipient could simply reveal the decryption key for the message. Or facebook could compute a MAC over the ciphertext with a key neither participant knows, then the recipient could reveal the ciphertext and decryption key, and facebook could verify the outer MAC to verify authenticity.
> Anyone knows how far along (or canceled) that plan is?

Zuckerberg said instead of removing Whatsapp's e2ee, he would add e2ee to Instagram and Messenger and then 'unify the backend',

We both know how likely that is, and how long that will take to be implemented (if implemented at all)
Seeds are half of it, but wouldn't you'd also want to grow them in the same soil? Maybe manure & bone-meal were providing a different balance of nutrients to modern fertilisers, or just slower growth.
What they have in common is that the people ordering it are not the people using it. These companies focus on the former, who want different things to the latter. Which sucks for the users but it makes sense for the vendors.
Can someone explain why that button/menu even exists?

It shows all the extensions and you can quickly pin/unpin them but is that something people normally do? I believe most people decide if they want to have extension in the toolbar or not when they install it. All other options are in a submenu so it takes two clicks to get to them at which point you might as well open `chrome://extensions/`. And then, to add insult to injury, you can't disable extensions through extensions menu. You have to go to `chrome://extensions/` for that. So what's the purpose? Pin/unpin? That can't be it.
I wish i could pay for no ads on everything. If there are only like three ad networks for 99 percent of the internet, and they can track me easily, and they know how much I'm worth to them, can't they just email me every month and say, "if you want a no-Doubleclick ad experience next month, it will cost you $4.65, click here to pay." Not like they aren't already doing the tracking, and this would increase the value to their ad customers since they wouldn't pay for views from people who don't want to see ads.
It's just a job. Nobody is being forced to go to work. If you don't like your job, or if you can't do your job, you can quit and get another job. This is America.

As long as people are griping and complaining instead of quitting we know we're in good shape.
Yeah, emulation is the right way of preserving Flash, but I would argue that Ruffle (and other attempts at OSS Flash, including Lightspark, which my younger self wrote) are implementations of the Flash runtime, not truly emulators.

Yeah... and once it comes down to a company's pm level, they all lock it down to what they think is the best, leaving teams using something that is guided towards PM and reporting, instead of getting job done.
There is no 'option' to include recent messages. Messages are sent when you report. You can't opt out.

This was the basis of the scepticism towards Dropbox in that infamous HN thread. In the end if I'm either an individual consumer or a business consumer I just want my problem solved really well and not have to always build a custom solution in house for everything.

I see why this got downvoted because it seems rude at a superficial glance. I vouched for it because I think it's worth discussing a very important distinction here.

What's important isn't that you tilt at windmills or beat a dead horse. Notice that nowhere in the story does either her or her daughter suggest the other do the work to fix it.

The importance is in recognizing what you truly want. Sometimes people don't have the self reflection, perception, or foresight to realize the joy they might get out of some damn hard work.

Also this comment has an interesting vibe in the classical "pride is bad" sense. I think it can be bad in the sense that it usually describes like a narcissist kind of pride when it's used negatively. But this is clearly a justified pride in oneself-- pride in not only overcoming adversity, but enjoying it immensely.
