Nope, if you even took five seconds to read up on how the OMSes at power utilities work, you’d know this isn’t the case. Utility companies are not even close to having their grids fully automatic, and most OMSes are manually updated by human operators whenever customers call in with outage reports.

This is an area that you clearly do not have any experience in, yet you insist on being an armchair expert. Quite frankly, we don’t need armchair experts, especially ones that are blatantly incorrect and refuse to educate themselves even when information is put right in front of you. Please reflect on this.

As for your “newcomer” comment, lol. I have been on HN for years longer than your account. Apparently you’ve never heard of the ability to create new accounts, though. GTFO of here with that ridiculous gatekeeping bullshit, it’s not welcome on HN.
Yes and every transaction henceforth incurs an economic cost. The gift which keeps on giving.
A well formulated question!

I’d ask a few questions about the bits of management that I think are hard.

How do you get your team aligned on the company’s priorities as they shift?

How do you foster growth?

How do you assess who needs to be promoted/given a raise?

How do you handle feedback for employees that aren’t doing well, or aren’t meeting your expectations (or even harder, employees who think they should be promoted but you think are just solid at their current level)?

And the big/meta one - what do you think the job of a manager is? (Could just be a semantic disconnect on what the job entails).
Not going to lie, it just sounds like he failed to adapt and be a good CEO in this new system. What did he say about needing to do with people who can't adapt and don't have the skills needed at a new stage of company growth? Fire them? Well him leaving might give Waze a new life, if they find a CEO with more experience working in bigger companies, who knows better how to navigate the political landscape of a place like that.

Also, my personal issue is that, being part of Google, he seemed to still only focus on the success of Waze, not on the success of Google. And that's contradictory to his own statement of needing to align with company success and investors success. I mean, even his "does nothing for users" argument fails for me, when Waze was acquired I dreamed of all its features just rolling up into Google Maps and Waze going away, so that the best of Maps and Waze would combine into a better Map app.

The only thing I can agree with, but honestly that's really not new insight at this point, is promotion driven development. Though I think he undermines a little how that favors new ventures and moonshots over continued refinement of existing products. Yes this is a common criticism of Google, but it's also how Gmail, Maps, and a lot of the really big money maker success of Google happened. It's not that the promotion process is "bad", but it optimises for people to always try and grow brand new products and enter new markets. Which arguably could be best for Google investors.
I love this service. Been using it for a long time and have switched all my newsletters to it. Now I get so many fewer emails. As the creators of Hey figured out, it's wonderful to have a separate feed of newsletters since they're fundamentally different than other types of email — they're generally not urgent and don't need to be acted upon. I keep mine in my RSS reader BazQux.
If I understand this correctly, the unassuming image/jpeg/png/gif/pixel is embedded in the email, it's the same color as the background so the user wont notice it. The image itself which has a unique link for each recipient, is hosted in the senders servers, so when they receive the request for the image, they read the HTTP headers for information such as IP address for location, depending on how many requests they get they can count the number of times the email is opened etc
Excessive political correctness does that. A good amount of political correctness means that you never have to work for a manager who openly respects you less because of your race or gender.

I found that I often have to disable uBlock Origin to access a website. Most of the time I just avoid the website, but there are times when I cannot do that (must access the site).

Sometimes I can disable, get on the website, then enable again, and it works (after refresh). I use it to block elements on Discord, for example, which did not run with uBlock Origin enabled initially (from what I recall, that is).
There’s also C. It’s just a small, experienced team, and doesn’t need much management to be successful in the first place.

>It's massive corporations creating something like 90% of all greenhouse gasses? 100 of them create 71%

And why are those corporations emitting Co2? For the fun of it? Because it generates profit for them? No, it's a means to an end for them, which is producing products that ultimately go to consumers. On the flip side, if you're a consumer and 80% of your co2 emissions are indirectly generated by corporations working on your behalf, you don't get absolved for that 80%.
> I began racking up my HR complaints. I used a four letter word, my analogy was not PC, my language was not PG… I actually stopped speaking at events where the majority appreciated what I was saying but the minority that was offended by something (words and not content) made it a pain. I began watching what I said, what I discussed and began wearing a corporate persona (I was still probably one of the less PC characters at Google but this was my cleaned up act…).

At this point I can't help but be extremely skeptical of people that talk about how they've been oppressed by PC censorship and don't provide any examples as if it's not the case that there aren't lots of people who say widely unacceptable things and use this as a shield.

You're sowing hate right now
My view on swearing in the workplace is that you can only do it if everyone who hears it is one of your immediate peers. Swearing down rank is an abuse of power (lower ranks are expected to be polite). Swearing up is a sign of immaturity (can’t contain emotions, etc).

Also swearing should only be used verbally and only in humorous ways: “this code I wrote is fubar” is ok, “Johnson is an asshole” is not.
The Nx architecture is quite good. I started work on a backend that avoids requiring jvm/bazel/python toolchain (substituting in a zig toolchain):

https://github.com/ityonemo/ez

the two languages feel like they were made for each other. Despite the verbosity of doing some things in zig (the dynamic tensor broadcast function is a bit of a beast), due to both language's similar compile-time metaprogramming facilities, getting to the point of plugging in Nx's tensor addition + tensor multiplication is about 200 LoC.
>It sounds an awful lot like you're dismissing my viewpoint without really putting an effort in to argue your side, which would be rude.

You are the one making grand claims so you should be the one supporting them. My position is that of the majority of professional Physics and Philosophy communities which is that the universe is deterministic and libertarian free will is a fantasy.

>I would also argue against determinism in some respects, but my thoughts about events being predetermined are a bit more complex

Well show some proof and claim your Nobel Prize.

> The argument isn't directly that knowledge requires free will, but rather that you can't, as a mere product of some chain of events, be a reliable source.

You are just saying this, it doesn't follow from any Philosophical argument that I can see
Honestly I think your argument boils down to "The absence of free will makes me uncomfortable so therefore it can't be true," this isn't unique to you either most of the people on that side of the fence's arguments tend to come down to that.
A large portion of the population seems perfectly happy leading a simple life. You don't need to worry about financial ruin if you work a basic job and have no debt. Nobody finds them not caring about money interesting since that's the rule. Also, many have a hard time believing others have different desires and will only believe those who can "prove it" by foregoing something they have easy access to.
I haven't read the full contract yet, but I think it just automatically converts the collateral to the right amount of the coin that's being lent.

If you open the markets, you'll see that you earn the highest APY by lending USD-pegged stablecoins like DAI, USDT, etc: https://compound.finance/markets

It's possible to use Uniswap (or some other decentralized exchange) to convert X amount of ETH to Y amount of DAI. The smart contract has access to Uniswap as well as knowledge of Y.

Honestly, if you have like $100 to play with, I recommend messing around with it on your own. My $50 loan that cost me $80 was effectively $130 of personal hands-on R&D. If you already invested a little bit into BTC/ETH over the last few years, you might also have "house money" to play with.
...or Apple could be a true platform and not compete unfairly?

You know, just a thought.

They want secure app distribution? Great! Build an equitable charge model. Charge for transactions, charge for usage, don’t charge flat rates that don’t scale. Certainly don’t prohibit other payment gateways.

And certain don’t punish your competitors in ways you don’t punish yourself. ( blanket certificate removals for a company and all its subsidiaries)

The ends do not justify the means. Apple can run a profitable and secure app distribution platform. It requires being open and fair. They are not doing that.
Would just loosing weight actually help with diabetes? I thought it had more to do with nutrition than sheer body mass, which explains why so many non-obese people get it while many morbidly obese people never do. I can definitely see how reduced mass would help reduce strain on the heart, though.
Strong disagree on photos. I find photos to be an excellent way to convey emotions that didn't exist. Also very common to have multiple people conclude very different things from a photo. Very misleading.

I'll also add that well written prose has moved me (and many others) emotionally in more powerful ways than any photo ever has.

Your Great Depression era photo conveys emotions only because of the context around it - context I know primarily because of text. If I showed this photo to a relative of mine half way across the world, they would merely see an ordinary woman with two sleepy kids.

Most good jobs are in places where it's not possible to buy a house as a single engineer, which is a pretty basic standard of life that even low income people expect all over the country. If you don't optimize for money then your options are to either give up and move away, or accept poor living conditions like hour long commutes or having roommates as a grown adult.

base64 is an encoding, and a base64-encoded PNG is still an image. Factorio blueprints are base64'd deflate'd JSON with a small single-byte header[0].

It would be comically trivial to setup a .gitattributes filter[1] to do the conversion for you on checkout (to the base64 form) and commit all JSON, allowing for beautiful diffs.

It's a bash one-liner[2] to turn JSON into their base-64 form and into your clipboard anyways.

I doubt you actually think that political correctness is not valuable; I bet you just mean that tech companies have swung way too far in one direction in your view.

I bet you'd not be sympathetic to the blogger if the 'words' mentioned were "nigger" or "wetback" without some special context or if his analogy was a visceral description holding down and raping the head of a department they had an issue with. (I'm sure they weren't!) There's a balance here, and it is silly not to be sensitive to the desire of companies and folks at them to tiptoe around things, even if you think they should be more open to crudeness.
Say I have code snippets I want to include in a Jekyll blog for example. I could call your API from a pipeline process, store the images and link them from the posts. A plugin would be deeper integration, but an API would just work and would be great already.

Is that really something we should take at face value? There are plenty of instances of people getting unreasonably offended but it's also extremely common for people to be shitty to their colleagues and use this as an excuse. He provides no actual examples.
Not now. Stand your partisan ground man. The uninformed will still search him up and down the rabbit hole they go into the talk radio shows he hosted.

Controversial figures are unlikely to be forgotten. Sorry.
Lots of people at Google, including many developers, don't make "hundreds of thousands of dollars." It's also just a unilateral change in the terms of their employment (unavoidable as it is during the current times) that might increase their costs by $25K? after taxes. That other people have it much worse doesn't change the fact that a fair number of people are seeing a change from what they agreed to.
I am definitely going to ignore Nick Huber. The "ignore SV" message is fine, especially if one's goal is to make money without attaching any "I will change the world" slogan to the job or company. And as I see it, that's the goal for the vast majority of SV people and for almost all outside of the tech world (plenty of exceptions that sum to < 1%).

But I am deeply skeptical, and annoyed, by the social-media "this is what you should do in life and business" broadcasters. This Nick Huber in particular is a fairly young person and if there is one thing that one learns when getting older is that there is a time and place for, say, qualities and trait that are to be shown to be world. And wisdom in young people and juvenile energy in old people are equally misplaced, often annoying, and sometimes ridiculous.

Now, it is also a matter of personality. As someone currently using a throwaway account, who has a PhD, academic, industry, and, I dare to say, life experience, I am still very reluctant to give advice to people when I know the specifics of the situation and the personality and history of those involved. I'd say out of prudence, and out of an understanding on how advice can be out of place, misinterpreted or just be wrong. What's going through the mind of 30-year old guys who want to give life lessons and advice on what to do in life (if it was tactical it'd be different, like let me tell you the mistakes I made when using paypal) to vast anonymous audiences? Is it just theater or they are delusional?

The closest you get for how browsers should act regarding history is part of the HTML spec here: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/history.html

Of course, the exact implementation is not specified, browsers are free to either implement cached behavior, which I think Firefox does as well, or just a naive refresh.

There is no choice being taken away - you don't have a choice at this point - you must use "the" App Store whether you like it or not.

Maybe the Apple App Store can get it's shit together and present a less hostile environment so these companies are able/willing to distribute on the Apple App Store again, and then you'll actually have a choice.

> As MCUs get more capable and default to more memory, not only will higher level interpreted languages become the norm, low level languages can be integrated via Wasm, either compiled or interpreted on device.

Not long ago, during the emergence of SoCs, this statement was uttered regarding Java, for both real time (JRT) and "regular" low-level applications. The story went, you could simply write Java and push it to your bytecode interpreter implemented in hardware. How convenient! It turned out differently. And now here we see Python, mPython, WASM, etc.

I think that nobody used it because nobody used it: The ecosystem didn't evolve along with the capabilities.
Arguably that focus on O365 and Azure - the strategy that enabled Teams success was due to Nadella.

Security Engineer Interview Questions – AWS Privilege Escalation
There's a reason one of the first words every toddler learns to say is "no". It's the word that allows people to assert themselves and thus become fully human.
Hypocrisy doesn't really exist at the corporate or political level today. Imagine you're playing chess with a friend. Would you call it "hypocritical" if they took you queen but didn't want to let you take theirs? Is it "lying" if you try to appear to be making an attack when really it's a feint? No, it's simply playing the game according to its rules against an enemy adversary.

Of course, that behavior makes sense in chess because the entire point of a game is to be an artificial world where only the letter of the rules are what matters and the only tangible outcome is winning or losing.

In the real world of business and politics, things like human decency and fairness should come into play. But increasingly, at least in American politics and corporations, the game is played only according to the letter of the law. Anything they can get away with, they will.
Companies have exclusive control of their own products basically by definition. Claiming that there's some sort of monopolistic behavior inherent in a company deciding where and how you can buy their product is absolute shark-jumping.

> when their own continued employment is contingent on whether management thinks they're still necessary

Talk about entitlement. You think that when a company hires you, that should be a commitment to employ you forever regardless of need?

Passion can come from your own investment in the success of the business, through equity and through the opportunities that come to productive employees at growing companies, both before and after they leave. Or it can come from a belief in the mission, distinct from faith in the company. You can pursue the same mission at a different company. But I guarantee you one thing: passion does not come from a guarantee of continued employment.
I love this! And had no idea about it. Really really stellar way of looking at it.

And for a leader, you can scale these by caring about roles and what info those roles get to show trust.

Really cool framework as a fundamental baseline.
I grew up listening to Rush Limbaugh in the 90s as my dad had it on. My dad traveled 100% of the time and it was awesome as a kid to go with him, even though I had to listen to boring talk radio for 3 hours ;-)

I have quite a few political differences with Rush (especially on social issues), but although I disagree with him on a lot and haven't listened to his show in probably 25 years (other than a few radio surfing moments during the day here and there), the man made a huge impact on history and the culture.

From a hacker perspective he's fascinating because he was a captivating radio presence. Even when I found myself disagreeing with him, there's something about his voice and projection that makes you want to listen, and makes you feel like if you change the channel you'll be missing out. It would be fascinating to study how he was able to do that, to the extent that "art" can be studied of course.
Yeah, that I can understand, but we also are so based on aesthetics and genetic potential, that I would think more would care about maximizing their potential for reproduction. With most people being overweight/obese (near future), is that going to change what humans are attracted to?
