You as a manager don't need to do all that. If you can't delegate most of that to reports then you have a problem.
Biological Evolution? No props from natural selection if you’re absolutely ripped and then die from a virus the week after.
Well I guess to make this somewhat tech relevant he was a pretty big Apple and Mac fanboy despite not liking the company's politics.
I keep seeing people say this but where is the evidence this is true? Because from my POV this isn't the case AT ALL. Pc gaming and Android both are "open" platforms and both are far worse for consumers that the App Store. This is another case of "common" knowledge that doesn't seem to be supported by evidence.
One area, where containerd didn't had a first class support was CLI. the default containerd CLI "ctr" has a very naive implementation. The reason for that I believe is, containerd as a system was never meant to be consumed by humans, and was designed to be consumed by higher layers e.g. orchestration systems like nomad or k8s. However, with the deprecation of dockershim in k8s, and users moving to containerd, a new docker compatible CLI came out:

https://github.com/AkihiroSuda/nerdctl

If you just have containerd running on your system (with no docker daemon running), you can just install nerdctl and add

alias docker="nerdctl"

to your ~/.bashrc file.

Then you can just run any docker commands the way you used to with docker, and it will run those commands against the containerd API giving you the same CLI experience that you used to have with docker.
Here you are, on a website basically dedicated to an entire industry of people looking to exploit human fallibility and engender dependency.

Tell HN: Please tell GoDaddy to stop doing business with the Myanmar Army
(posting from a throwaway account for obvious reasons)

A website of the Tatmadaw, the Myanmar Army is hosted at https://dsinfo.org. The domain is registered with goDaddy.
The site seems to have recently (in the last day or two) installed a firewall provided by sucuri.net, a GoDaddy company.

If you're a customer of GoDaddy, please tell them to stop selling services to the army behind the coup of February 1st, and remove the DNS record for that domain.

I'm definitely aware it's a global issue, but I can't grasp the idea that the majority of people in the world, have no care to how they look or feel, especially with humans being so obsessed with aesthetics and genetic potential.
Hi kderbyma, thanks a lot! Yeah, I struggled a lot with cash flow when running a software company. Then we created Moneto and it really helps us daily.
I get that the fracturing of content delivery platforms had to happen for the sake of ~profits~, but I miss the days when having Netflix, Steam, and Spotify completely satisfied consumption needs. At least Spotify still has nearly everything I want, and still provides me with great recommendations.
Great! Looks like a proper way to do what I was trying to do. Thank you!

My web app is a game, so fixing everything without a refresh is unfortunately pointless for the most part, and forcing a refresh also ensures players are running the latest version if they've been away for a while.
"It sounds good, but what does it actually mean in practice?"

I think what I was saying is pretty straightforward...

"If you're going to the trouble of being agnostic"

Meaning that if you're trying to build some sort of facade that makes AWS and GCP look the same, you might as well just make a facade that points at something cheaper than AWS/GCP. AWS/GCP markup for things like internet egress, storage, and compute are high, partially because of all that plumbing. Any facade puts you in a lowest common denominator situation where you're paying for lots of stuff then not using it.

Or, in short, "cloud agnostic" running on cloud is a weird idea that throws out lots of the value add. Perhaps there are some exceptions for very simple architectures, as you hint.
What stops it is 1) Not awarding money to people who might be able to do it, only to those who can demonstrate that they can do it 2) Caveating the bulk of the payment to the successful production.

In most cases, the money was for a pre-order of vaccines afaik and if they don't produce, they don't get paid.

PPE contracts was another cock-up all together!
Enterprises are the slowest to change of all and this is MS bread and butter. I completely disagree MS was ever close to becoming irrelevant. Silicon valley is in it's own little world. The rest of the planet is firmly a MS customer.

MS can take all the good ideas, implement them and sell them worldwide before a startup can get out of silicon valley. Case in point: slack vs. teams.
I...might agree with downvoting maybe the poster's original point, but, as an asexual person, blanket statements like the world revolves around sex absolutely do seem to completely ignore the ever-growing movement of openly asexual individuals.

My responses, however, about the general negative atmosphere towards LGTBQ+ folks here, especially asexuals in particular - (no idea why, asexuals in particular; it's just relentless, sometimes) - also got downvoted into near oblivion.

They consistently have, and I regret even opening up about it, honestly, because I hate getting dragged into this shit online, but I wanted to actually back up and validate the OP who has evidently had an extremely similar experience to my own, that; yes, HN has a long-standing problem with LGBTQ+ relations, and neither OP or I are the first to experience or post about it.

That we choose to open up about the negative treatment, and get downvoted for it, for me; is an issue of respect and being heard.

Downvotes on a post saying that we feel the community needs work with regards to respect for LGBTQ+ people obviously only make, at least myself - feel even shittier and more unheard.

Getting downvoted into oblivion for opening up about the negative treatment of LGBTQ+ individuals on this particular forum seems clearly intentionally * phobic and that's just a shit sandwich I can't do much about.

Is it the stigma associated with asexuality? Is is just general * phobia? I'm not sure what makes HN in particular so awful with regards to LGBTQ+ issues - today has certainly all but reaffirmed that for me - but for such an intelligent crowd, and a bunch of people from the Bay area and shit; I'm honestly continually baffled and unfortunately it appears to be a growing issue that is getting worse, rather than improving in any way.
If you own a Monet you had better hope the value doesn’t one day crash down to he price of used canvas and recycled heavy metals from paint pigments.
A mind-map of cryptocurrencies for crypto noobs
I wasn't expressing any opinion one way or the other, nor did I provide the article as a reference. The original commenter seemed to be questioning the choice of Atom over RSS, and that article is what they posted as their reference; which seemed odd to me since it argues for using Atom over RSS.

Why would you consider RSS over Atom (you seem to exhibit a preference but you have also neglected to list any of the reasons)?
Quibble: I cannot stand the Microsoft store because I cannot simply delete the apps or even understand why they are there even after I told it to uninstall. I also cannot easily move apps between drives or even control which drive something is installed on sometimes. Steam is the best this way, IMO.
Nadella I think brought focus on ideas and prioritization that complimented Ballmer's ideas. He doesn't need to launch new projects, but ensure they are managed into a place of relevance. In that regard, it really showcases the excellent people MSFT has in the chain and how they can help each other get to where they collectively want to go.
1. Sales != market share but that's not relevant. Even a >50% share isn't a monopoly if there are multiple other competitors in the remaining 50%. And I don't think anyone is misrepresenting Apple's position. The word "Monopoly" has a meaning. Apple does not fit that meaning.

2. You can't give your customers an app without paying Apple if your customers are demanding it work for Apple products. That doesn't mean you can't compete. You can still only sell to Android users and other phone users but you have to do so with the understanding of what that means. You're still competing. That's like saying you can't compete with Windows when you only release your app for Linux. That's your choice. You're still competing against Windows.
the whole UX of down and upvoting is flawed from the onset, the binary choice of reactions is the real problem and is not how human interactions work

Platforms should provide more options for feedback on a given post other than up or down voting.
I'm not familiar with this area. Can you explain the mechanism for this? What thing is imposing the "risk of being marked as spam", and how does it make its determination? Specifically, how does it have any idea about whether the end user has "opened" the mail?
Sure they will. If apple reduced their fee to something like 5%, I am sure that even most large game developers would use it.
Two reasons why I don't think this is a good idea:

1. Mixing different applications in one inbox would be a mess for a lot of people (e.g. your IM would drown out important work email)

2. Privacy - avoiding unique online identifiers when they're not needed is a good idea
Don't get complacent. I've been where you are, and when the party is over you're going to have a hell of a hangover unless you can ride that job to retirement. Relearning how to compete after a few years of coasting is brutal. I was just past 40 when my gravy train derailed. The slack years were fun but they went by fast. Compensation for a job is about more than money. It's about where you end up as a person when the job is over.
> We have more choice today, because currently Android and iOS have different models. Break up the App Store and your left with a single model

What a goofy point of view.

If there are two restaurants in town, and only one grocery store, would you conclude that eating out is better than cooking your own meals because you have two restaurant options instead of just the one grocery store?
"There is no good reason for this, "

No, there are a ton of things the US et. al. do in secret, it's normal.

There needs to be oversight, public is better, but an independent council can work.

But yes, there's going to be a problem with graft.
I definitely don't see 99% of them, thanks to uBlock Origin with the "Fanboy's Annoyance" (which itself includes "EasyList Cookie List").

The other 1% is from websites which do break miseraby when the cookie modal has not been actually accepted or rejected by the user, in which cases the uBlock filter needs to be disabled in order to be able to reject the thing.
Can someone explain how a tracking pixel works? How is it different to simply a unique image href url for each client? Why does the image itself need to be different?
it creates are potential privacy issues if you give out your real email address

Is this the same class of privacy issue as, say, subscribing to a print journal that is delivered directly to your place of residence (as opposed to a post office box)? I think you could even argue that using anonymized email addresses for your newsletter subscriptions could be the digital equivalent of a PO box, right?

Stripe now reportedly valued at $115B
I really hate this narrative that Nadella came in and turned things around. He's absolutely made great decisions since taking the reins but most of his early success was just riding out things that Ballmer set in motion.

Not to mention most of Ballmer's misses were more Bill said no.
The US is a pretty big place but there are some cultural/regional reasons that explain some of the trends. For starters a lot of the country doesn't have access to nutritious food and grows up eating calorie dense but nutritiously void foods. Then you've got portion sizing/control (or a complete lack thereof). It's still pretty normal to eat meals sized for folks doing manual labor but in a lifestyle that is increasingly sedentary.
But to answer your question directly; some people do notice and do care but feel powerless to halt it, other people do not notice because it's sort of a gradual slide/they are already overweight and do not spend a lot of time thinking about their body.
A title bump without the reporting structure changes to go with it is just a fancy way to dress up a raise, sure, but that's not the only option.

In companies doing this well, the high-level engineer doesn't report to the immediate team lead, but reports to the same director that lead does. Or VP vs director for even-higher-level engineers vs higher-level managers.

That structure, more than the title, is what shows you if you're really on an equivalent track.
Soft skills means they are hard to measure. That is the original definition. Hard skills are easy to test, you either solved the problem or you didn't. With soft skills you don't really know, you need to measure it subjectively.
"App Stores" are just synonymous with "content filter".

Perhaps we should just name it such.

So "App Store" becomes "Content Filter".

And you can install any app you want from any URL, unless you have some content filters installed, which will limit what you can install.

No more App Stores.
>If they work against the peoples' interests too much, they get voted out.

only if the people aren't blinded by partisanship and realize it.
Yes it is. Epic is allowed to sell to every other person that's not an iOS user without ripping up their iOS distribution channel too. They chose not to do that, though, and then shot themselves in the foot on top of it to try and stick it to Apple.
This is hilarious.

'Everything is about food.'

'Well, an iPhone isn't food.'

'Well, you had to mention that an iPhone wasn't food, therefore everything is indeed about food, or lack thereof!'

...

There's a term for this type of fallacious reasoning, I forget what it is - anyone?
It's different for sure but I have no idea what they are trying to sell or communicate. It's like I need to learn how to use this site.
A good share of the gold mined is not in circulation. Besides other uses, the bond wires of every chip are made out of gold.

Bitcoin is "the gift which keeps on giving". Every transaction, not only the original "mining", incurs a substantial ecological cost.

The share of gold otoh used as financial tool is often not moved at all in transactions. E.g. a good share of it is stored in some vaults and virtually never moved. Most of Germany's gold was store in Fort Knox for more than sixty years, see https://www.ft.com/content/4edf00ee-a43c-11e7-8d56-98a09be71... .
Lou Holtz [0] has a very pithy mental model for how to evaluate leadership:

Everyone asks three questions of people leading them:

1. Can I trust you?

2. Do you care about me?

3. Are you committed to excellence? (aka do you have high standards).

Think about someone you admire. Odds are the answer to the above for them is "yes" to all three.

Now think of someone you have had a lot of problems with. Odds are the answers to the above are "no".

This completely misses the point of capitalism and successful business.

The whole purpose of a business is to create (and keep) a customer. The two ways it does that are innovation and marketing. Yes, there can be cases where customers are cheated, but they won't be customers for long.

It's not about "extracting maximum value and giving as little back in return". That's an extremely simplistic argument that bares no relationship to how companies are actually managed, or how products/services are designed and built.

Yes, in a business, there must be profit, as it covers today's risks and tomorrow's costs. "Profit maximization" is nonsense, it's like saying a sports team does "scoring maximization".

Finally, what is a 'practical monopoly', besides "it's not actually a monopoly but I want a cut of it and therefore I feel it is"? This seems to be the argument Epic is making.
A quick story about "entitlement" at some of the most 'employee benefit focused' tech companies. I haven't worked at Google, but I've worked at two of the other so-called FAANG companies. The soft benefits and perks were amazing, no doubt about it.

For a time, a certain (popular) subset of the free snacks became unavailable. My immediate team and I made some jokes about it. A week or so later, word got around that somebody had opened a medium grade internal incident over the 'outage'. So we looked up and sure enough, there it was, an actual filed incident, status ongoing. Ok so that's fine; things were generally pretty 'loose' at the company, so maybe that was a joke.

Nope; not only had many hundreds of people marked themselves as impacted, but the discussion was quite serious.

Mixed in of course were many people making comments about how silly/absurd/outrageous it was that OTHER PEOPLE were taking this snack outage so seriously.

The whole thing turned into quite a kerfuffle. There were now hundreds of comments under the incident, and the associated chat channel was getting pretty heated.

Word came down from my area's management, unofficially, in a friendly way, suggesting that we just stay clear of the whole thing, which was sound advice in my opinion.

To be clear: the vast majority of the heat was about whether this thing should be an incident at all, and the size of the 'sides' were to my eye roughly even.

I'm not trying to make a statement here about entitlement one way or another, but simply recounting a story from a few years ago as I best recall it.
Because you can't distribute apps, or even install them on your own phone, without going through the app store. (At least sans the ridiculous restrictions I described above.)
That’s a very different kind of bridge-or-tunnel tho.
IstioCon 2021: Schedule Is Live

Interesting take, though I wouldn't call deontological ethics the problem here. Rather, it's that someone choosing to become infected is regarded as "wrong". It's part of a broader trend towards the nanny-state view that people should not be able to do "stupid things" that hurt primarily themselves. Another good example is drug use: marijuana legalization is really driven more by people believing that it is less harmful than by a shift towards letting people do what they want. As long as people give informed consent, choosing to become infected should not be regarded as wrong.
No one reasonable says that USD cannot be challenged. Chinese yuan is on the way there and we’ll see that fight pretty soon.

Bitcoin is not even not in the same league - it’s playing different sport.
FB - Congress passed a law (before FB existed) exempting all companies that post user generated content. You may not like this law, but FB is not "evading" anything, and it is not a competitive advantage because section 230 applies to all companies in the industry.

Google - How does Google not have to worry about copyright? What exactly is their evasive behavior here?

Amazon - Until the rules changed in 2018, Amazon was following the same tax treatment that existed for mail order catalog sales decades prior to Amazon's existence. These same rules applied to other online retailers as well. They are not "evading" anything.

We get it, everybody should be more like you. If only overweight people cared that they were overweight they could just stop overeating.

Interesting article all around. I have to raise one minor quibble with the author's points:

"No one buys technology, you buy a team and a way of doing things."

If the author means in the sense of what a big company like Google is purchasing, that's kind of correct (though there's no guarantee the company sees it as in their best interest to keep that team or way of doing things together).

If the author means in terms of why a company like Google purchases another company... That's only one reason. Here's a short list of additional reasons I'm aware of Google has bought a company:

- To acquire the data (and agreements to share data) a company has built up over the years

- To acquire a company's customers (big in the ad space; traditional advertising is a trust network, and the easiest way to get into the inner circle of big client service is to buy someone who's already serving big clients)

- To remove a competitor from the field of companies in a space

- To acquire the team that built something Google wants to build fast (this is a gamble; Google's in-house, NIH-ist software stack is an absolute space alien, and teams that built something Google wants will likely have to rebuild it atop that stack while simultaneously limping along their existing tech stack that already does the thing but that Google has immediately labeled "DEPRECATED DO NOT EXPAND UNTRUSTED SOFTWARE WE DIDN'T BUILD THE KERNEL THIS IS RUNNING ON").

As an owner thinking of selling to Google, I have no idea if you know which of these they're thinking of your company as. But it's worth noting that many of those reasons don't imply your company will stick around as an independent coherent entity in Google (or even that Google intends to hire all your employees).
This basically goes back to what I was saying. It's cause and effect. People can buy things to directly affect their external appearance nearly real time. People don't associate their bad dietary and lack-of-exercise behavior that affects their external appearance. The cosmetic industry is proof of this. There are tens of thousands of cremes that contain vitamins, enzymes and other nutrients. This is not by itself a bad thing, but people are applying these components incorrectly. Applied internally these components have a vast array of long lasting affects throughout the entire body. Applying these things externally has limited short-lasting effects, albeit more real time. That is why those industries are making a killing. Visible affect, limited term efficacy. People also do not associate the bad things they eat with all of the external visible dysfunctions they are creating and compensating for on their skin.

I have one or two things in my feeds that can’t be expressed in RSS, such as HTML markup in my titles (which I use for <strong>, <code> and I think <em>). I also have angle brackets in a title, which I would be afraid to do in RSS because I’m confident that some clients would butcher it, and they wouldn’t even be wrong since RSS don’t care.
