I think it's more like a team that works on roads or power. Platform teams are usually monopolies and they usually work on critical infrastructure. They are almost a kind of utility. When a power company has failed, you see blackouts, when a city fails to plan for public transportation or load on roads, everyone gets stuck in traffic.

A lot of the time all of a platform teams customers are unhappy because there are very systemic problems with the platform (slow tests, hard/slow release, brittle services, slow feature production) that result in an overall bad experience. In addition, just like a freeway that's run out of capacity, adding capacity will often involve even worse traffic while the situation is being improved.

Now if a lot of people are experiencing black/brown outs and a lot of people are stuck in traffic, who is to blame? Is it the power companies? Is it the road construction companies? No. It's city hall. It's the people who make prioritization choices. More lanes on a highway is a major investment and building a rail system is a major strategic choice. Those choices are not made by construction companies, they just build. Those decisions are made by city hall.

If you are experiencing traffic it's because someone in an authority position looked at the opportunity cost of the tax dollars that might be spent on solving traffic and said, it's too high. Similarly, a platform that has too much traffic (dev experience sucks), probably indicates a CTO that said "we need features more than we need a stable platform."

An even more apt similarity is that infrastructure projects often fail because term limits/vote cycle mean that people can make short term decisions they benefit from with long term consequences they are not responsible for.

The model of platform as a product breaks down when you understand that the platform is a both a monopoly and a cost center. Platform is much closer to a government (trying to keep people as happy as they can with as low taxes as possible), than a business (able to charge as much as the market will bear/doesn't have to serve any particular customer or use case). The difference between pleasing everyone enough, and pleasing some specific people a lot is quite a large paradigm difference.

Platform is a product in the same way that Comcast is a product. Platform is a product in the same way that the Flint Michigan water company is a product.

Blaming a platform team is almost always wrong. The right people to blame is leadership.
That feature is so helpful on google maps. I have to drive through a bunch of small counties every week and they all have so many cops on side of the road.
It will be used for that too yes, also any camera is good enough for mission planning the we use the Mars orbiter as well as probably photos dating back to Viking still for mission planning since any photo is better than no photo.

But the question is would it be worth the risk and would multiple flights produce that much more coverage given just how little distance ingenuity can actually leapfrog in a given flight.

It’s main goal was a test bed for potential rotary aircraft on Mars as well as a test bed of the rapid development program that enabled NASA and JPL to build it relatively for so little money and so fast.

It did its job I don’t really know if there’s that much more value from keeping Percy in range to do more flights since ingenuity can only be controlled through Percy.
I wish that article had citations, but thanks; that helps clear up some avenues in which this can have other impacts.
"Less than a second" (when it works) is more than "negative time".
You joke, but Factorio is a sufficiently "crunchy" logistics game that it has prompted me to study a number of serious topics, from learning linear programming to determine optimal production ratios, to dipping my toe into learning about the broader subject of systems dynamics, with stocks, flows, feedbacks, and so forth. I maintain that it's an excellent educational tool for these sorts of subjects.
They get to bypass laws or get exceptions while the average citizen does not. This is mostly due to the massive amount of wealth they inject into the political system.

Small business owners in that area didn't get the privileges they did and many were forced to close.

can someone enlighten me? I was always taught growing up that weeds are good for the soil, they will generally die out once its done its job.

Is killing weeds generally used in unsustainable agriculture or are there weeds that truly needs to be killed?
Think of it as a chance to pick up editor and language tricks you might not have known, or to socialize "best practices". The metagame is still part of the game. If you can't change the practice, try to make the most of it.
The community/ecosystem of Java is just huge, there is basically no domain where it would have no libs available. Only python has a comparably large ecosystem.
Doesn't that mean the client holds the keys/secret of some sort is shared with the client so it can either generate or verify?
Copyright generally doesn't protect usage of a work in criticism of it, even if it is basically verbatim usage without added commentary. I think Hughes v. Benjamin is salient here.
One potential reasons is that a lot of things are more expensive in the states - including hiring.

If they did their massive campus in Eastern Europe they would get a lot of cheap smart talent, cheap building and probably a favourable tax treatment (if they needed even more of that).

Replace with Canary Islands, Cyprus or Malta if you want somewhere with nice weather.

As a teacher, I believe applications must be discussed - I am a physicist after all.

But I remember my peers asking for applications from math teachers when we were in school, but I never saw them ask the same from art teachers. Somehow, everyone understood that drawing and coloring were just for pleasure and stroking our aesthetic sensibilities, and an application was not needed. But people rarely think of math the same way. Yet, it's all pattern recognition and creation.
I don't think its different standards, its because click-bait on Apple products works quite well.
Yeah what a hilarious suggestion. Might as well just not lock your phone at all.
Aditya has nothing to do with the research where vulnerabilities were submitted to the kernel.

Again, quoting for the millionth time,

"> You, and your group, have publicly admitted to sending known-buggy patches to see how the kernel community would react to them, and published a paper based on that work."

YOU. The first word. In a response to Aditya. It's a false allegation, it's literally incorrect.

Aditya was NOT one of the researchers involved in that previous work.
There's also the question of how to reform people who misbehave and whether shunning is appropriate or effective for that purpose.

Oh absolutely. I still have a personal and a work notebook (pen + paper). Although I journal digitally as well, I feel it goes deeper and feels more committed when writing it on paper than digitally. It doesn't feel like just dumping whatever comes to mind.
Moxie might or might not have done so. But he made it clear that he could have, and went out of his way to create reasonable doubt about whether he did.

If he winds up in court, I'd love it if he sticks to his, "the files are there for artistic effect".
> It's not disinformation if it's just outgroup culture.

Just because wrong information can become outgroup culture does not suddenly make the wrong information true.

Particularly when it stipulates world views that vilify whole other groups as allegedly being responsible for everything wrong.

The end result is not just a culture that might endorse violence against others, but something that could probably be described as a cargo cult where wrong information becomes dogmatic tradition.

Antisemitism has already taken such a shape, most if not all of the theories voiced by some modern outgroups are just reboots of allegations that are centuries old and have justified violence for just as long.

Case in point: The whole "elites abducting children to sacrifice them" theory, which regained popularity trough QAnon, is just a more modern take on the William of Norwich blood libel [0].

That has been around for close to a millennium because it's an idea that survives in certain religious outgroup cultures.

It doesn’t matter. Guilt by association implies you can’t even attempt the idea, regardless of success rate. It’s very strictly an us vs. them heuristic, with little to no room for nuance.
Yes. I have actually found that the best mounting location is on the top tube using something like the wrist mount in the link below. This kind of mount is very secure, keeps the phone in a safe location and out of the way while still visible during the ride.

Say that you had health problems. That's accurate, it doesn't paint you in bad light and many people wouldn't inquire further out of politeness.
If this is true, I'm bullish on real estate in Elk Grove, California. Elk Grove is a suburb of Sacramento that is about 1.5 hours from San Francisco. Apple used to have a major manufacturing presence here before they expanded their manufacturing in China. After Apple moved their manufacturing overseas, Elk Grove became a sleepy suburb where engineers from the Bay Area moved their families to get affordable homes and better schools.

Ever since telecommuting for work took off, the house prices have been spiking.

Disclosure: I have been looking at Elk Grove, Folsom, and other Sacramento suburbs as a possible place to relocate my family and team ... my team and I are not happy with the cost of living in SF, and we can get a lot more bang for buck by moving away.

You can get a 4 bedroom, 2500 sqft house in Elk Grove for about 750,000 now (six months ago it was 500,000). The schools are also quite diverse ... over 30% Asian and Indian.

What would/should actually happen in this case is HR/the manager would meet with the employee and ask them to vent any apparent frustrations. If the statement was made publicly, they would probably be fired outright for making public statements about the employer without permission. If it's only internal, they wouldn't be fired outright, but they will likely be passed over for promotion. Makes sense, why should a company invest in someone who apparently isn't invested in the company? If they are ever fired, the reason given would be for some other unrelated infraction that they are legally allowed to terminate for.
I am the opposite.
Big tech is under scrutiny and are watched closely for the data they collect. These small companies are in lawless territory and heavily collect questionable data.

Hey Marco, political parties that try to undermine American values like the right to vote don't have any room to talk.
That's still an open topic for me, having a proper digitising process somehow. I tried the apple pencil a few months ago for a few weeks, but it's just too expensive for a fancy notebook. While studying it would be nice though.
I understand the potential gravity of the situation, but this example doesn't help to explain the significance of these numbers.
There would be far more experienced software engineers than brand new ones if the field was stable, but it has been growing exponentially for years.

The answer to the original question depends on the rate of growth, how you define more experienced, etc. So it's not obviously true or false.
If you're looking for a book that shows you the joy of graph theory, try Reinhard Diestel's book. It's both deep and playful.
How is that the modern part? Beans have been around for decades!

Also, there are very small libs for java, you don’t have to create a spring/JEE app.

I think Friedman's ideas are substantially different.

The quote from Smith is discussing tradesmen running a business in their own self interest.

In some ways, Friedman's point is the opposite. That the laborers perform in the self interest of the owner.

I don't know the full context of the Smith quote. I did a bit of digging for Smith's views on publicly traded companies, and came across this quote[0]:

>The directors of such [joint-stock] companies, however, being the managers rather of other people's money than of their own, it cannot well be expected, that they should watch over it with the same anxious vigilance with which the partners in a private copartnery frequently watch over their own.... Negligence and profusion, therefore, must always prevail, more or less, in the management of the affairs of such a company.

Check the stats on caniuse and get back to me. These would be mostly supported everywhere, partially supported, or with prefixes.

The only argument being "but not on IE". Which, 100% of these work on almost all versions of Edge. Edge is provided side-by-side with Internet Explorer these days (mostly...).

Internet explorer market share is near zero. Also reminding you that these are just CSS properties (meaning fallbacks are dead-simple or it just looks/behaves boring-er and doesn't break anything).
I used to live in a commercial building (the only living space) that had a separate office suite. When in the office doing billable hours sorts of things, 0% of time was spent on non-work issues. Work computer = a big honkin' loud workstation. Home computer = a laptop.

It wasn't too hard a discipline to keep, I think it helped a lot to use physically different space and hardware.
As a control for what, exactly?
Apples to oranges? The scale between AWS and 737s is several orders of magnitude different. Boeing has a critical issue every 200k flights, or let's say 3.8M hours of flight time (assuming all flights are 19h, which they are not). Assume AWS has 1M CPUs total (they have way more than that), if AWS saw a critical CPU bug every 3.8M hours of CPU time they would be having a 737 MAX crisis level every 3.8 hours.
variety. Or better yet, drop "a wide variety of" and just say "various"
Not being able to have RBAC (or any users that aren't admin), not being able to use backup/restore, limited configuration of checkpoint windows, no query logging and no monitoring are all showstoppers for use in Production and completely gated behind an Enterprise license.

I'm not saying it's not functional, because clearly it is, but it has no place in a corporate setting.

I'm actually well aware of (much better) alternatives, but this tool was chosen by people in the org who gave no consideration to licensing, or requirements to run in production and are senior enough that there's no one to go around them to fix the situation.
Learning how to use knots is just so satisfying, I don't know what it is, I can't really put my finger on it.
No, the effect of a linear increase of CO2 on temperature is logarithmic. Though the speculation is the there will be catastrophic exponential feedback mechanisms.

I guess CO2 is increasing exponentially, so maybe CO2-dependent temperature change is a somewhat linear with respect to time.
What are the contents of the Golden Record?
I see that as a big difference too, but still a large fraction of the complaints were purely about the payment aspect. Remembering back to Telegram's payments 1.0 a lot of people were excited about it then too. I'm just curious why people are much more cynical about Signal.
Did you post the wrong link? Looks like that's about a case regarding distribution of heroin in the 80s?

I have not seen any analysis that suggests that the school district has used that argument, but I'd be interesting in reading it.

The analysis here[0] (which is the most detailed I've seen) suggests that Mahanoy is arguing that this off-campus speech is causing on-campus harm.

The best answer we have today, IMO, in terms of ethics of freedom and agency, is "representative democracy," which may be extended to "liquid democracy" to bridge the gap between small, direct-democracy-capable organizations and large, unwieldy ones.

Unfortunately, no solution will be perfect, but that doesn't mean some aren't better than others. The problem is in essence unsolvable. Politics and civilization is an exercise in minimizing harm rather than eliminating it, maximizing utility rather than spiking it.
Ask HN: Anyone not seeing app tracking transparency pop ups after updating iOS?
I agree, but for a different reason. Today's phones are stupidly fragile and pretty much everyone puts some sort of case on them. I don't get this obsession from phone makers to make increasingly thinner devices, when a large number of end users just put an ugly case on it. Why not make them rugged to begin with?
Thanks for clearing things up. How would we know if measured climate change is statistically significant? It seems difficult to measure these sorts of cyclical long-term events.
I'm not denying or excusing that historical atrocities occurred under socialist governments, but for perspective one should also look at the myriad atrocities that were and continue to be committed under capitalist governments. That doesn't excuse such actions, but neither side is innocent. I suggest reading The Wretched of the Earth* Chapter 1, "On Violence".

Sorry, it’s not. Face ID: Just pick up your phone and your phone automatically unlocks with your face. This experience is way superior than having to position your finger at a specific place every time you want to unlock it. Putting it on the back is even worse, you need to actually pick up your phone from the desk just to unlock it. I swear HN readers would create devices with the worst UX possible.
You never see one but there is one: cover weeds. Weeds are only grow where the soil is uncovered.
In small scale you also can mulch with compost but in large scale you need other ways.
One benefit of a covered soil is more moisture in the soil even in dry climates.
And for bonus points, are any of those useful things useful in domains other than financial speculation? That is, not DAO/De-Fi/prediction markets?
I certainly didn't mean to offend you, or to pretend things today are worse than at any point in the past. It was more an argument against this weird celebration of getting people fired. I mean, there's even a subreddit called ByeByeJob. Just pointing out it's not so simple as 'hur hur he got fired.' Imagine you just found out you got cancer, and had a public meltdown on the way home that someone happened to film. Somewhere people would be laughing at you, while others are trying to get you fired, and poof there goes your health insurance. Crazy world.
This is the part where Monsanto starts engineering crops to fluoresce in a particular frequency of light, so you can target weeds inversely.
As much as I agree that Rust needs a better story for builds and interacting with other languages, it sounds like you have a misunderstanding over what Cargo primarily does and what crates are. A crate is a single compilation unit of Rust. Cargo is a tool for compiling crates and pulling in other crates that it references.

build.rs is a half measure to include foreign symbols in compilation artifacts like static/shared libraries and executables. I'd go so far as to advise against using it for anything but specifying linker flags.

I don't think I've ever had a use case for specifying dependency versions at build time. That seems insane, and I do insane things in cmake with regularity. There's a reason versions are pinned to a config file committed to repos in almost every contemporary language.

fwiw, Cargo is a crate itself and you can use it as a library. You can even compile it with C language bindings to call through FFI in other build systems if you felt like it. The lang tools team has done a great job with keeping the scope of Cargo manageable and putting in the ground work to make better tooling around it.

For complex Rust builds, check out cargo-make. It does most of what you'd need in a predominantly Rust codebase. For polyglot environments, cmake with custom targets is the least bad way I've found to do it - and it's not hard to do that by shelling out to Cargo.
