> people have been organizing into large work entities since time immemorial

Mercantilism didn't appear until the 17th Century.

> Yet people act like working for someone else is some new construct that exists to oppress everyone and most of the common mans ills are because of capitalists. This to me is quite silly.

Criticism of capitalism is as old as capitalism itself. Organizing a hierarchy that replicates monarchy/aristocracy carries the same problems -- mostly incompetence hidden by birthright and social status.

Markets work and have existed since time immemorial. The problem is that modern capitalism is so corrupt that is has destroyed the market. All products are more or less terrible, because the executives running the company never use the products they produce, or have any real idea what their workers do on a daily basis. This reality was even recognized by Adam Smith:

"The trade of a joint-stock company is always managed by a court of directors. This court, indeed, is frequently subject, in many respects, to the control of a general court of proprietors. But the greater part of these proprietors seldom pretend to understand any thing of the business of the company... The directors of such 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. Like the stewards of a rich man, they are apt to consider attention to small matters as not for their master’s honour, and very easily give themselves a dispensation from having it. Negligence and profusion, therefore, must always prevail, more or less, in the management of the affairs of such a company. It is upon this account, that joint-stock companies for foreign trade have seldom been able to maintain the competition against private adventurers. They have, accordingly, very seldom succeeded without an exclusive privilege; and frequently have not succeeded with one. Without an exclusive privilege, they have commonly mismanaged the trade. With an exclusive privilege, they have both mismanaged and confined it."

> Most everything else that is worth having in life takes discipline, work, and self growth. Yes some people will get more of those good things, some for less effort, so what though? As long as they are not breaking laws to do so I am fine with it. If someone breaks the law then punish them.

The privatized natural gas company in your town hires a lobbyist to eliminate safety regulations. The gas seeps in your home and explodes when your partner goes to light the stove. You survived the explosion, but the hospital bills emptied your bank account. Your insurance doesn't cover negligence by a third party. No law was broken.

You are now bankrupt, homeless, alone, and unable to work. How is discipline, hard work, and self growth going to help you?
This was a great write-up.

As a user, I think what's holding back web is not the lack of APIs but how much web and browsers have repeatedly ignored user preferences, and optimized for tracking and ads.

Go to any news website and it contains tons of trackers trying to fingerprint you. Then, of course, they also have to show you tons of ads leaving at most 30% of the viewport to read any content. The web is user-hostile.

And the leading browser (i.e., Chrome) has not really done anything to solve this problem. While Safari had cache partitioning enabled for 5+ years, Chrome has still to deliver it to users even though it's a clear privacy and security win. Not just that, Chrome repeatedly keeps making decisions that hurt user's privacy and expectations [1][2][3][4].

One simple rule of thumb that I use to compare Safari and Chrome is that Safari cares about users (privacy, gating out APIs that have risk of being misued for fingerprinting), while Chrome cares about web developers (trackers, ads, More powerful APIs). As a user, my expectations align better with the former model. I would be happy if Chrome took a step back, acknowledge user's expectations and focus on progressing the privacy on the web instead of engaging in twitter wars.

I like those phones and never had one (either CAT or third party) fail... the issue is that the processor / RAM setup is always a little on the weak side and OS updates are a problem.

I'd probably buy my first ever iPhone if Apple came out with a ruggedized version of the current iPhone SE.
While I agree that in general a company should focus on customer, I strongly disagree with the phrase "the customer is always right".

The customer should be listen emphatically, while trying to identify their needs and see if your product fits or not, should have maybe a voice in saying what kind a direction a product should go, should have access to information regarding their own data and how we handle it, but I would not put such responsibility of figuring the "right" to the customer.

The customer is sometimes wrong. The customer is sometimes influenced by bad press, publicity or lack of knowledge, or even lack of interest to put the effort to understand or articulate their own needs. Sometimes the customer asks for a feature that they will not use.

So we should see the customer emotions, expressions, complaints, praises as an effect which needs to be acknowledged and listen to and try to understand the cause.

Here is a simple example: televisions which are promoting useless debates, false claims or subjects which are blown out of proportion, you know what they say: It is what the public wants.
No need to be sorry, I'm not the designer in this story -- I'm the grumpy sofware engineer, and nowadays sometimes the manager. I'm also a desktop Linux user who is regularly annoyed by the sad and confusing state of opensource UX. What makes me so pessimistic is that I know the social dynamics that typically cause this, and have seen them play out in lots and lots of mailing list discussions.

Of course that's not a logical inevitability, things can change with more understanding. Your link actually makes me very happy, I hadn't seen this. Let's hope that this works out, and becomes a model that more OSS project can follow.
>The US has a long history of abuses and orchestrated false flag attacks on Cuba

To support this, you cite a proposed US operation (not a real one), a bombing carried out by cuban terrorists and a radio station?

> we only began hearing reports when Trump was in office

Then you claim that multiple governments, dozens of victims and their families, medical professionals, independent boards, contractors, etc etc have all colluded with the former trump administration to invent havana syndrome? (The exact cause for which nobody has claimed definitively)

> immediate political actions were taken against Cuban diplomats who were likely working to lift the embargo

All this so they could push back against the embargo which they could do without the cover of a massive conspiracy?

What about what you are saying isn’t innuendo or conspiracy theory?

> An acre isn't purely a measurement of area of undefined shape - it also has a defined width and length.

This is wrong. Acres are defined as the area encompassed by a particular set of lengths, but acres do not have specified widths and lengths because it is a unit of area, not of width or length. Acres can be any shape. They do not have to be rectangular.

The page appears to talking about the Apex Regional landfill near Las Vegas, Nevada, which has an _area_ of 2200 acres. Though you'd never know it because the page has no citations anywhere.

> There's support for APK splits by locale, where you can upload a separate APK for each language which keeps the size down

How does this work if the user changes the locale on their phone? I guess you need to redownload the APK? I would still prefer compressed localization for all languages, and uncompress the needed one at install/start/sometime if it needs to be mmaped. If the phone locale is changed, uncompress the new one at some point.

> The AAB system criticized in this article will fix your issue too - Play Store delivery will automatically split APKs into per-locale slices and only download languages you need on your device.

Sure. The system fixes a problem Google (or its predecessor, not sure about timing) created, and let linger for over a decade, by handing control of signing keys to Google. Not a great fix. Sure, de facto, Google could patch any app via Play Services which has lots of permissions, but if they control the signing keys, they can more easily meddle.
My company had 3 instances at one point after acquisitions. Two of them got merged so we’re stuck with two because of the number of customizations and the different sales approaches / teams between the two divisions.

One of them upgraded to lightning required by some feature. The experience nice with lightning (even slower) has been worse than classic. Meanwhile the other instance is till on classic.

We made the mistake of embedding business logic into sales force and integrated with their API only later to find out it can take upwards of a minute to just convert a lead to a contact via API depending on the current load on the system.

Enterprise systems are fun.

Similar experience with a Miele. Inside it's about 4x more complicated than an American model: far more engineering around sensors and actuators and quality, while the American ones are designed with short lifetime and manufacturing costs as goals. Fortunately it came with a circuit diagram which made it easy to find a bad relay which had a generic replacement. Back in business for more years.

ps. Just remembered, that Miele also had a diagnostic/debug mode to tell you what system was faulting. Try that with your shitty builder's grade Whirlpool.
I agree that this practice should go away - if you believe that, then the goal should be to eliminate this shady practice entirely, not try to make it more prevalent like you were suggesting before editing your comment.

> That said I don't know why anyone would be talking about acres when they could more simply say km wide or of area km squared that most people would not intuitively understand.

Ohooo, ohoo, ohohoho. Where I live (continental Europe) it's impossible for people to use km or meters for agricultural or housing land. It's alway acres this or hectares thats. It drives me nuts but I have learned to nod and I google the conversion later.
Why can't they be both? They literally are a software company. And yes, they acquire other software companies.

Plenty of companies in other industries (e.g. consumer goods) are conglomerates, often a result of acquisitions - it doesn't make them pure "investors."
Composte decomposing in a landfill does nobody any good. I compost my scraps along with lawn clippings and leaves in my yard so that I can use it in my little garden. I splurged and got a tumbler for composting rather than just piles in the yard. Each spring, I use the compost through out my garden beds/pots. I had enough left over to fill a couple of ceramic pots. One of those pots had tomato seeds that sprouted for me free of charge. Bonus!

Yeah, I’m definitely not convinced there are configurations of salesforce that aren’t terrible. Other products that are often configured terribly I’ve generally seen an example or two of one that actually was better, but I’ve never seen a salesforce that wasn’t slow as molasses.

My employer (a large healthcare company) has been shown over and over that they're broadcasting PHI in the clear over pagers, and that this is bad, and their response every time has been "the paging company assures us it is secure". Evidence doesn't matter, only the word 'secure' in their contract with the paging company does, so it's "not their fault".

That post was certainly a bad HN comment, as I've replied. But this is not a problem related specifically to one religion: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.... Matter of fact, we had a comparable case the day before:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27011929

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27012837

Two religions, same issue. If there were a third post about a third religion and a fourth about a fourth, we'd see the same problem with those.

HN commenters need to learn not to post when they're not in a curious state. When a person gets activated or provoked on a topic that they feel strongly about, that's not likely to be a curious state. One needs to pause until thoughtful conversation becomes possible again. This is not easy—it's something we all need to work on.

When the topic is divisive—and religion is maybe the most divisive topic of all—multiply the above by 100x.

Does this really seem easier than a simple timer?
We've multiple PHP repositories but the longest one currently takes around 7 minutes wall time (that includes: tests, static analysis, code style and a few other misc smaller things). Scaling the phpunit tests is actually easy in terms of throwing money at it, as the suite of +15k tests can be diced and sliced to run segments in parallel (a bit of scripting + github action matrix). Billing time is around 40 minutes I'd say.

The frontend/TS stuff takes longer, usually 10-11 minute, where it's "truly building" and we can hardly parallelize this one. Or we lack the expertise to fix it probably.

At the moment though this is non-container environment; once we add building/deploying into the mix, I'd assume the time will go up a bit.

> Most dishwashers are designed to have a little detergent in the first cycle and then most in the second cycle. The detergent from the first cycle becomes available to the water immediately, the detergent for the second cycle is the part that you put in the compartment.

None that I've ever seen here.

> If you want to know the details, watch the rest of the video. Or, if you don't want to do that, read your dish washer's manual.

The video is.. I'm not its target audience. But I do actually have the manual: its 'programme phases' are 'pre-wash', 'wash' (different temperatures depending on setting), rinse, and dry. The detergent tablet is dispensed in the 'wash' phase. There's nowhere to put any to be dispensed in the 'pre-wash' phase. So, instead of 'some then most', it's 'none then all'. I've never known one work differently.

> Many machines are still designed for powder or gel detergents that you put into both compartments.

Right, again, not here: I don't have and have never seen one with two detergent compartments.

I still don't think tablets 'fly in the face of how the machine's supposed to work', there should just be big & little detergent tablets for markets with big & little detergent compartments.

Everywhere else with single compartments, a single tablet works fine, is exactly how the machine's designed to work, and they often even have a 'recommended brand' (for whatever commission).

Git's data model doesn't care how many commits there are. It doesn't care how many objects there are and commits are just one type of object. The git repo probably has tens to hundreds of millions of objects. The limiting factor is probably the filesystem, but I think most can handle it just fine.

> And that data is no longer belonging to the instance now.

It belongs to the correct instance. The noun in the domain to which the information logically uniquely belongs is a relationship, not a character (of which there is typically more than one with different roles in a relationship, the number and roles varying by type of relationship.)

One problem that textbook OOP examples produce is that they tend to favor a heirarchy of physical entities as examples, which has the virtue of familiarity but really obscures the analysis of nouns in the domain, the most important of which in most real domains are the nouns describing relationships, activities, and events.
