This resonates with me so much as I was in this position 3 years ago.

My boss came to me and said "we want to move from AWS to GCP, using kubernetes and not have it be a mess like we have now"

I was new, senior, free from ownership. I chose to stay as a team of 1 so that I wasn't burdened with fires and meetings. It freed me up to put my head down and get the work done.

The grind was learning GCP, kubernetes, terraform, the platform/product, gathering requirements from several teams and mentoring people that would pop into the project as their time allowed.

I won't lie as learning new things was great. The project was partially greenfield as it was a platform migration and not a product rewrite. There were a lot of constraints & debt to deal with.

Maybe the new employee churn is one of the reasons that most startups get so much done... the new people are not burdened by ownership and being the subject matter experts. They are free to do things, good or bad. :)
> You are the one who brought sports into this. I simply stated he has been repeatedly accused of transphobia. His opinion on sports is part of that, but it isn't the only time he has been called transphobic.

Ok, then find a clip where he promotes violence against trans people or any other group or tells people to hate them. The burden of proof is on people making the claim to provide evidence that supports it, not the other way around.

Edit:

To get back to the fundamental question here. The issue is, Spotify has a policy. Does Rogan violate the policy or not? By your own description, the policy hinges on terms that are "impossible to define". So, is a policy with undefinable terms a good policy? Is there any objective way to determine whether it was violated or not and apply it fairly and consistently to everyone? If not, why are we holding up the policy as a gold standard and using it as a justification for censorship when it is impossible to determine whether or not it was violated?
You say "leave them alone" like fighting to improve people's lives is somehow victimizing them. It's truly amazing how right-wing anti-union propaganda has brain wormed into so many people.

On the bright side. At least they are now forthcoming ahead of any issues or tragedies.
What exactly do you do there?

From what I understand, order picking there must be god awful, but being the receiving clerk might not be so bad. Being on-site IT might not be so bad. Certainly being the Director of Operations for that warehouse wouldn't be bad... at least I wouldn't think.
Robinhood has an API for this, as so 1700 python libraries. Did you even search before asking?
Just to give clarification:

a) We're a small tech startup. We use Chromebooks exclusively because it makes corpops/corpsec and compliance trivial.

b) Why not Firefox? Maybe Firefox could work, but I'm not sure - with GSuite we can manage Chrome extensions via policy, we can manage Chrome versions, Context Aware Access, etc.
Not everyone on HN seems to have gotten the memo, as evidenced by this exchange from a few days ago:

As someone diagnosed with ADHD a year ago now, the GPs description of their life experiences are pretty textbook ADHD.

And things like this:

"Some times the things we have to do in life aren't immediately enjoyable. It's on us to find ways to make them more enjoyable (e.g. find a sport you like, or take up walking), and some times we just have to do the unenjoyable thing for the sake of progress."

Are just insanely tone deaf things people without ADHD wind up saying to ADHDers because they have the capacity to do those things and haven't experienced not having the capacity to do them.
Oh hey, a link to my bug report :) someone else in the thread mentioned that the KDE devs have patches for Qt that unfuck the menus, and they're included in Arch Linux now or something..?

Upd: well, that problem doesn't seem to be fixed there, still no constraints are set on the kde/5.15 branch
I'll give you the reply, it's been said: Why ask rhetorically "why should I care" instead of ignoring and moving on?

Pathetic? No one's asking you to care! You clicked on the post! Your contribution to this post is just as little as low effort humor and redditisms.

That gets buried on HN. It's not really something that needs 50 comments explaining it.

The parent comment referred to staff within large tech companies. Anecdotally I hear plenty of stories about how activists have essentially bullied their way into positions of influence at some of the large tech companies, particularly to influence these types of decisions. Perhaps it is a coincidence in this case.
My point is not that she didn’t get it through being a part of the aristocracy; my point is that the royal family is a net contributor. 2019/2020 contributions to the treasury were £345,000,000[0] In the same year the monarchy were paid roughly £90m [1].

Last I checked it didn’t matter how one acquired something as long as one owns it. It’s really irrelevant how they came into that land.

I, for one, grew up hearing that Gutenberg invented the printing press—when people wanted to be more specific they would credit him with movable type.

I think it's valuable to point out from time to time how incremental most of the actual innovations in history have been, even the most revolutionary ones. The most frequent narrative surrounding these major breakthroughs in history leaves people assuming that the way the world works is everything sits stagnant until some great person comes along and changes everything. A far more productive lens through which to see human progress is one in which most progress is the result of tying together existing ideas in new ways. This kind of innovation is within the reach of most of us, if we simply stopped trying to be the "first" and became okay with synthesizing what's already there.

Yeah the idea that masks somehow are one-way is baffling to me. You’re somehow preventing particles from leaving your mouth while simultaneously breathing in those same particles from the outside.

Funny enough, I have often have the same thought. I'm a military officer and the enlisted folks are often living not far from the Amazon warehouse workers. Indeed, the highest paid officers in the military make less than 10x more than the most junior enlisted recruit. These are people who command hundreds of thousands of people.

I think a significant difference is that most folks in tech do not live and work among the skilled and unskilled laborers. In the military, you know the cook, the plumber, the electrician, and the riflemen, the air traffic controller, the network technician. Personally. You've been around the world together, you may have been in firefights together.

In the military, the headquarters jobs with the bean counters are rare. Bean counting is essentially synonymous with 'fat and happy'. In tech, the equivalent of bean-counting headquarters is 90% of the organization. It's extremely advanced bean-counting, but the field units have atrophied quite a little bit.

That's not how this works. There's no study here showing how they were able to discount all other variables and show a provable link between A and B.

This is data cherry-picked to support a conclusion and published by a lobby group (a pro-union one and publihed on labor day, no less. It's flashy!). You may agree with said conclusion, but this is research presenting a theory not a proof.

There is no causation being shown here. It's a possible theory, but that is all that it is.
They were probably posturing in both cases but the fact that their constituency went along with both is worth noticing.
I'm unfortunately going to give an equally hand-wavy response. There's nothing in there that strikes me as factually incorrect (I could be wrong though because I am not an expert on these viruses). I did a brief genome analysis myself - only ~5% of the arginines are encoded by the CGG codon. It's also true that those two introduce the furin site, and it's hypothesized that the furin site is critical to the viruses ability to enter the human cell. It's also true that it's a large difference between the closest variant and SARS-CoV 2. There's also the fact that it's an insertion, not a mutation. i.e. the gene acquired extra amino acids, not just changing the new ones (that's one point I think is hand-waved over in the OP's comment, as he points out that there are many mutations between SARS-2 and the closest relative - which is true, but there is (to my knowledge and I'm happy to be corrected on this) only one insertion, and that is the furin site bearing two adjecent non-canonical arginine codons next to each other that also introduce a restriction site.) However, I do believe the insertion is out of frame, which is odd. If I was engineering the protein, I'd probably make the insertion in-frame to reduce variables as much as possible. So that's a point against. The paper also just glosses over that.

The restriction site is interesting because to my knowledge, mammals don't produce the protein that would normally digest it (which implies that it's probably rare among infectious eukaryotic viruses), but again, I could be wrong there and am happy to be corrected. Typically, a restriction enzyme will, under the right conditions, cut the DNA (or RNA) at the restriction site. One of the interesting things here is that if I was introducing a restriction site to track GoF research, adding it directly in the thing I added greatly simplifies my life. If that restriction site goes away, I know I lost my insert. It's also nicer to use a restriction site because I can do the digest in 30 minutes on a benchtop, run an agarose gel in an hour, and know if I still have it after passaging the virus, vs say, sequencing, which is usually more expensive and takes longer. Especially if it's BSL2+ because now I need to put it over a BSL2+ sequencer.

It's a hypothesis. We'll never know. There's no conclusive evidence either way, and it's absolutely something we should all be talking about, and the scientists among us should be trying to properly falsify it to the best of our ability.
I feel very much the same way. I don't particularly like the direction Mozilla has taken, both in terms of current day politics and the "resignation" Brendan Eich. Granted, it's part and parcel with today's mainstream, but that blog post they published last year was kind of chilling IMO. Their statement was totally out of the bounds of what Mozilla should be responsible for.

I still use Firefox not only because the browser is not necessarily the same as the foundation, but the alternatives are organizations with far, far worse track records. (putting aside the advantages I mentioned)
On the contrary, one of the biggest sources of suffering in an ADHDers life is constantly being pounded with this very message your entire life despite trying your absolute best.

I'm sorry it wasn't clear but this seems like a needlessly pedantic distinction.

I never said "poor = 'crazy' = criminal". I don't think poor people are inherently crazy, though I suppose that being mentally ill could conceivably hinder your ability to make a decent income, if we're being pedantic. I feel like you're assuming I said something that I didn't; I really don't think I was being "unkind". In fact, I was trying to have a pretty sympathetic perspective on this. If that was not clear then that's a failing on my end and I apologize.

Yes, you could make an argument is the "more rational" decision is to commit a crime, I read Les Miserables, but keep in mind that my comment was in direct response to someone asking why unemployment led to violent crime, and I specifically did not exclude myself from any category.
> The other side of the coin of content filtering is the possibility of snooping and data exfiltration.

I am relatively naive in this realm, but this is why I chose Firefox Focus as my iOS Safari context blocker.

Firefox Focus also seems like a great browser to have set as the default in apps like Apollo.
I’m fairly sure they have made their browser the best at ad-blocking already.
But due to human nature, negatives like daring to remove some feature with minuscule usage gets heavily upvoted.

You're right it is comparable, although it's affected by the country's demographics. I just mean if you're moving to the US as a working-age person, it is not going to represent your situation. A median or age distribution would be more informative.

> I’m missing something, and I suspect it’s obvious. What’s this about sorry?

That's just a fun quality of life fact about the US. Europe has better transit, we have better and bigger housing and our appliances work better. We're more likely to have air conditioning too.

(Clothes dryers don't work very well unless they're vented to the outside, and in older brick buildings like Europe, and for some reason also in Japan, they aren't always.)
The weight was calculated based off "miss" vs "ms" in the name?? Instead of getting the age from the passport and doing a look up against standardized tables?? This is BS.

I'm not sure where you got the idea that the American experiment is about making the government synonymous with the people.

The American experiment was all about splitting the governmental power among different entities, keeping the government small and letting the people preserve freedom and power - while still being protected by the government.

The constitution is a tool to prevent the government from overreaching - and it's been successful at that.

Unfortunately, this experiment also grew in the largest and most warmongering government in the world.

To me, the USA are the proof that minarchism doesn't work and that we need to try anarcho-capitalism.

If someone tells you to leave them alone, then you should leave them alone. If at that point you don't then yeah you're harassing them and they're a victim.

From the workers' perspective, there is an endless supply of people who will offer to take their money or the little power they have in return for supposedly 'fighting to improve their lives'.

Most of them do not really share your interests, and many are actively trying to trick you to use your money and power for themselves.

See for example the majority of politicians.

So far this union has uninvitedly hassled these workers for months, and then reacted angrily when they said 'no thanks' in a vote, so I can understand the workers are not buying now even if they were considering it before!
> vote for a party that legitimately changes the law through the defined channels

So what if no party is willing to do that? Gay marriage in many Western countries has consistently had over 50% support going back a long time[0], despite overwhelming polling, no elected governments on Earth were willing to change it except in the last few years. This is the same for other issues like marijuana decriminalisation. By your measure of legitimate change: Who does an American vote for to stop the 20 year war in Afghanistan? [1]

The labels 'activist' and 'woke' are generally applied derisively by people people who don't share these values. To the mainstream these traits are generally not even labeled, they're just what we consider common decency in this decade. When my parents were my age it was 'activist' and 'woke' to be in favor of mixed race marriages. Times change.

> And it’s not the values, it’s the disruption.

People want to feel like they're in a career that aligns with their values, and the more in demand your talent is, the more you're able to make demands of your employers to have them be values-aligned. If employers don't need top shelf talent, they're free to ignore that and be less competitive in the market for talent. However, successful companies usually tend to compete. We're talking about Spotify because they competed for and hired high-grade talent, and that high-grade talent wants their company to be values-aligned.
