This is bold and I approve. Not many of us have this fck it mechanism built in. So we make excuses not to impose ourselves which is first class BS. My last agency gig was with an award winning agency with massive clients, I was interviewed with a director in the room. The meeting was scheduled for 20 minutes. It ended up lasting 2 hours.

It's actually pretty easy to see the pattern, isn't it? The US tech giants' business models most often are based on data usage that is inherently incompatible with GDPR (Most are esssentially advertisers). And apparently most of these companies continued that practice despite the GDPR.

Most EU tech giants are B2B and mostly don't have this problem in the first place.
Is the government going to insist on quarantining these people in house arrest for "their good and for the safety of society"? Where does it end? If we find genetic markers that determine that a person is a good gymnast or farmer or doctor, are we going to start deciding their profession for them like the Soviet Union? Better farming would help society, after all. If society can simply make arbitrary decisions for you based on "medical experts", where do we end? It might seem silly, but we are already doing similar things, and there are countries which have done even more of the same. We should make a stand for personal choice above "expert tyranny".
Yeah.. I realise that, thanks for the reminder. However the company is growing in a very fast pace and my job right now is soo much better than the previous one.

Well because previous one was in small agency, I was basically doing all the work. It includes devops, backend, frontend, only couple of devs. Now it is obviously much more focused with different teams for different purposes. Not sure how it will go but well, big tech company is pretty cool. I love my job now (meaning not burnt out yet lol)
So they are picking the weakest examples to make a point they are applying to the whole category.

By that logic, guinea pigs are terribly dangerous because, one time, someone stepped on one, fell, and hit their head.
Do you think Amazon wasn't using personal data contrary to European data protection law?
What software would you use for incremental sync from phone of photos and videos though?
Client applications have been my greatest struggle. I use nextcloud but their app (android) has plenty of flaws when the only purpose is one big rsync (no mirror, I will delete photos from my phone!), but all the options I find required foreground interaction or full directory sync both ways, which requires all data to be on phone too
Or, when a woman gets a flu shot and then has a miscarriage, she doesn’t assume it was because of the flu shot, because she’s had a flu shot many times before. It seems like you’re being deliberately obtuse here.
Multics is written almost entirely in PL/I, plus some assembly for bootup, some messy low level stuff, and time critical bits like process switching.

Many additional languages are available, such as COBOL, FOTRAN, APL, BASIC, Assembler, JOVIAL and others I can't recall off the top of my head.
I think you are wrong about the confidence of a monotonically increasing salary across your career and lifespan (at least in terms of purchasing power)

I think you are right that certain things cluster together: Jobs where you are treated like crap pay you like crap, jobs where you are paid in riches treat you like a princess. Exceptions apply.
My uncle had a PC with the "warp" screensaver on it. My brother and I would sit in front of it and pretend to be Han Solo and Luke Skywalker.
What the hell am I doing here?

I'd just like to point out among certain groups, like programmers, the behaviour you describe is not so weird. Maybe that's one of the things that attracts us to fields like this.
I use resilio sync together with a NAS (which is still large enough to hold all my files, I wonder how long that'll stay given how much 6k BRAW footage I'm shooting), and I also sync to a Google Cloud Storage bucket from my NAS (moving items to Archive storage class if they haven't been touched in a while, significantly saving cost).
Launch HN: HomeBreeze (YC W21) – Easy booking of home repairs
Hi HN, we’re Vineet and Chris, founders of HomeBreeze (https://www.homebreeze.com). We make booking home services radically simpler for homeowners. We do this by using details about the home to provide upfront, guaranteed prices and instant scheduling, with work completed by a network of qualified professionals. We’re starting with hot water heater replacements and are live in Southern California so far.

Many homeowners struggle to find contractors who will provide quality work without gouging them on price. They burn hours of time contacting pros and hosting onsite scoping visits, just to get prices and availability—with little insight on quality. Lead generation platforms like Angi and Thumbtack only solve a narrow slice of the problem - finding pros - without helping to price, schedule, or guarantee work quality.

For contractors, it’s hard to manage lead generation and sales, while spending most of the day in the field, doing work. To grow their business, contractors often buy expensive leads from Angi, HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack and more, but convert those leads poorly because of their unreliable communication. Because of the high stakes, they spend nights and weekends following up to sales calls. Great for the lead generation platforms, but bad for both service pros and homeowners.

Chris bought his first home and experienced this first-hand. Quotes to paint the outside of the house ranged from $7K to $25K and getting painters to show up for quotes took hours across dozens of phone calls and text messages. Digging into the problem, we found complex operations and a fragmented, old-school market. I had worked at Opendoor and Chris at UberEats for years, so we were no strangers to operational complexity. We decided to build the solution.

With just a little bit of information from homeowners, we give them upfront, honest prices for water heater installations (and soon other home services). They can schedule online if they’d like to move forward. Nearly all service pros we talk with insist on scheduling an on-site visit before providing prices. Our clients can avoid this time-consuming step and almost always get better prices.

On the backend, we’ve built a system that takes those inputs and prices jobs fairly, based on criteria we’ve gotten from our network of service professionals. We match the jobs with the plumbers who we know are available to do them. Importantly, we enforce strict quality standards by remotely auditing before/after photos of the installation, aligning contractors to our quality principles before their first job with us, and verifying that every plumber in our network is licensed and insured.

I’m sure every homeowner in this community has had their own experiences with home services. We’ve love to hear about them - the good and the bad - and get feedback on our initial approach.

> In every GDPR related thread people complain that the law is not achieving its objectives (which you’re almost doing here also, with your “maybe it will eventually work” comment), but the law is doing exactly what it’s designed to do.

I think you might be misinterpreting those comments. It's not that hard to follow GDPR, what's hard is to work around it. If you want to do exactly what you did before but you want to weasel your way around GDPR it's not impossible, unfortunately, but harder.

And people are complaining about it not achieving its objectives precisely because you can weasel your way around and that's why we have those stupid 'Accept all cookies' huge buttons and 'Change settings' small ones, that later change to another big 'Accept all' and even smaller 'reject'.

Stop selling user's data without their consent and GDPR is a breeze to be complaint with. Try still selling it, eliciting the consent via dark patters, and complain how hard and complicated it is.
>All but 43 were unvaccinated people."

Do you have any evidence that there is no bias in attributing death to Covid, when the person in vaccinated?

We already know that many Covid deaths are merely co-incidental. If this aspect is removed from counting, we know that the covid cases will reduce considerably. I am wondering about a case where this bias is removed when the person is vaccinated.

To be clear, I am not saying that Vaccines don't work. But the numbers could be lying.
It's not quite as clear that the rule applies when the subject under discussion is UI/UX right? Because it is interesting when some one who is telling you about their hot line on truth makes a mistake.
I thought the same about Free/True NAS until I lost a ton of stuff. Be careful with these. Also, for big backups the performance has been terrible. I carefully followed their guide and the write speed is just dismal.

It depended on compilers smart enough to make not-parallel-friendly code run well in parallel. In a way that would outpace the price/performance growth curve of the (somewhat new at the time) x86-64 CPUs.

The compilers never fully delivered on that. X86-64 just beat them with process size and clock speed on a less elegant architecture.

Hey, whatever floats your boat.
Both. The internet was full of early adopter, tech enthusiast types. You'd certainly pickup on this. Maybe a bit of the magic was your youth, but the tech was new and magical to everyone.

Every article I read back then was written by a real person about something they cared about. Now it feels like every search result is just 100 pages of AI generated, generic content used to drive clicks to the site. And what content is actually written by a real person, it's in service to their brand and it's tuned for engagement and sharing on social media.

A lot of software back then was open and didn't hide too many of the details. Today, all the technical bits are hidden away and user experiences are carefully controlled and tuned for engagement. Think IRC vs Slack or FB messenger. On irc, you can whois, dcc, technical bits everywhere in the UI.

In the 90s, there was a question whether or not you should include ads and banners on your site. Later, it seemed like the ads went away but actually they took over. So much of the internet experience now is about monetization. Even malware is about making money. You gotta jump into the new tech to get that feeling of wonder and possibly.
Not contesting the facts, but important to read them in context.

Market share by revenue is likely biased towards Oracle vs market share by usage/installs. I’m under the impression that those migrating towards other DBMS’s are partly doing so to get away from the high pricing of Oracle. So even if usage of eg RDS Aurora and Oracle are the same, it would show Oracle as doing really well. If I’m correct, and the underlying user base for Oracle is declining, then their numbers can only go down in the long term.

But, they have a great money printing machine today, loads of enterprise sales expertise, and the buffers (read: time) to deal with this change. So, although I don’t think they’ll become irrelevant, I wouldn’t say they’re doing particularly well either (from a trends and market direction perspective)
IT was a rather clever tactic the supreme court used to judge in his favor but also lay down how to not have to deal with it again. Their decision was basically not that either side was right or wrong but the actions the state took were wrong. They ruled the way the state acted was hostile towards his religious beliefs which are protected that nullifies the case. i.e someone commits murder and claims it was a religious sacrifice and the party was willing then prosecution bases their case on two religious nuts with bad morals perform ritual and don't present the base evidence of murder not allowed. As long as in future cases brought up they stick to the basic laws of their state and don't throw in opinion evidence they can avoid the sc
Even without the Effective Altruism take on this, I see this kind of thing expressed a lot. I've often seen arguments of the form "People say climate change will kill everybody, but that's an exaggeration, so there's nothing to worry about". Or "COVID only kills 1% of people, so what's the big deal".

It feels almost as if it's influenced by superhero movies: anything shy of apocalypse just isn't important. It's not just that there's some far-flung future where today's population seems irrelevant, but that the actual suffering isn't worth a yawn unless it's going to kill every single person on the planet.

This even seems to cross the usual ideological borders. People who might otherwise be interested seem underwhelmed when they hear it's not the apocalypse. It's just not interesting enough to care about.

Eternal Change for No Energy: A Time Crystal Finally Made Real
The evidence that you're wrong starts by the fact you already started from the "We" are the winners and "They" are the losers, so "They" are playing dirty and "We" are the real victims here.

If you haven't read the investigation documents and ruling ( as I didn't ), the most we can do is having a hunch and googling Amazon's past and track record in everything from business tactics to employee policies, I think no one is surprised they have problems with the law.

And speaking of law, each place has their own laws, customs and views on how society should look.
I disagree, it doesn't have to be "paid off", no one is waiting for the "money". Rather, design and code decisions may need to be addressed in the future to alleviate development friction.

I have worked in places as you describe, and tech debt is still a bad analogy. It isn't debt, but rather friction, which is a much better analogy.

This appears to be 100% correct.

None of the vaccines have gone through "the gold standard" of the full vaccine approval process. They have only received FDA approval for emergency use and have not received full approval.

It's been a long time since macbooks had quality. I think 2016 or around there?
By the way, for everyone else who - like me - doesn't have a NYT subscription and thus don't know what the above comment is talking about, the Washington Post has what looks like an equivalent version of the same story:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/07/29/cdc-mask-gu...

Internal CDC documents have leaked. Here are some quotes from the report:

"It cites a combination of recently obtained, still-unpublished data from outbreak investigations and outside studies showing that vaccinated individuals infected with delta may be able to transmit the virus as easily as those who are unvaccinated. Vaccinated people infected with delta have measurable viral loads similar to those who are unvaccinated and infected with the variant."

"The breakthrough cases are to be expected, the CDC briefing states, and will probably rise as a proportion of all cases because there are so many more people vaccinated now. This echoes data seen from studies in other countries, including highly vaccinated Singapore, where 75 percent of new infections reportedly occur in people who are partially and fully vaccinated."

"The presentation highlights the daunting task the CDC faces. It must continue to emphasize the proven efficacy of the vaccines at preventing severe illness and death while acknowledging milder breakthrough infections may not be so rare after all, and that vaccinated individuals are transmitting the virus. The agency must move the goal posts of success in full public view."

There are some other points worth noting from the presentation:

1. The frequent and very US specific claim that "99% of hospitalizations are in the unvaccinated" isn't true. CDC stats show 15% of hospitalizations are from vaccinated people and the number is growing. Why are they claiming otherwise in public?

2. The confidential data is not really surprising, because it brings the USA into line with what every other country is seeing.

There's a good summary of some of the latest non-US data from UK and Israel here. Efficacy against infection and "mild illness" keeps falling:

I worked on a project mid-aughts to port a scientific package to Itanium. The issue that we observed was that Itanium really pushed the hard work out to the compiler and by association the devs to make everything work with their compilers in order to get the full benefits. And since very few people had Itaniums and the compilers weren't quite there yet, the overall dev effort was not worth it. Somewhat of a chicken and egg problem.

ARM managed to be worth the trouble since it solved a real problem of power useage which got it the installed base, at which point it was worth the trouble of supporting.
Managers are status seeking people.

Part of the status is signaled by showing how many <<subordinates>> they have and giving orders to them.

Part of the status is signaled by beign able to be out of office whenever they want vs the worker bees that must be at the office 9-to-5 M-to-F.

Having to politely ask things on slack to a worker bee that is probably working lying on a couch with a smoothie in it´s hand is a manager vision of hell.

tl;dr: it´s not a lack of workers performance, but a wounded manager ego.

I do the same with Dropbox. I've been doing this for years and it's saved me a number of times. I don't know if there are flaws with this but it's worked better than anything I've cobbled together myself.
Yes, IIRC, for Formula One there was a saying ages ago that the 3 most unhappy participants after a race are 2nd place (did not win), 4th place (did not get to be on the podium) and 7th place (did not get any points).

edit: Now I looked at it again and I see that F1 has adjusted their points system throughout the following years, so you need to replace the 7th place with whatever is relevant now.
> I'm still puzzled why Itanium didn't go any further.

It turned out nobody knew how to build effective compilers for them, so nobody bought them.

What's the point of a processor you can't program efficiently? What do you think Intel should have done? Just kept making them regardless of the fact nobody bought them?
That's the study mentioned as "earlier data" in the Nature article. The newer study that the article is mostly talking about is the first reference, https://doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa2109072 .
I think studies confirming conventional wisdom are often unfairly maligned as uselessly addressing the obvious. It makes sense to back up perception with data.

However, the model of competitors feeling that silver=‘almost won’ and bronze=‘lucky to get a medal’ is by no means as novel as they claim. It’s strange to me that they present it as ‘new’ instead of a commonly held

> None of these sites condone, enable or remotely desire such content.

Yeah, and that's the difference, isn't it? 8kun might not condone any of these things, officially, but it very much enables and desires them.

This kind of discourse is seen as the "price of freedom", its presence a demonstration of absolute tolerance and blind faith in freedom of speech. Facebook, reddit, MySpace and Twitter are more strictly moderated and impose actual terms of service on their users' freedom of expression.

But of course this also means the people most motivated to join networks that offer guarantees of free speech absolutism are those whose discourse is not tolerated by these mainstream alternatives. And their presence will almost guarantee an absence of "normies" who don't run into the limits of their freedom of speech on the moderated networks much and feel uncomfortable around the former group.

Heck, the only reason 8chan ever became large enough to be widely known was because 4chan evicted Gamergate. And 4chan isn't exactly known for its strict moderation and suppression of political views.
Sometimes I wonder if things would be easier if I had a diagnosis. No idea if I would get one legitimatly though. (I wonder this because of the stories where people are diagnosed as adults, I had a professor in college that said I remind her of her autistic husband, and I've always been different.)
It boils down to 2 factors:

- Giving money to a competitor (even if the product you're paying for isn't competition). This can be hard to justify to e.g. shareholders as being financially responsible.

- Potentially giving away trade secrets to Amazon, either in patterns of usage of AWS, or in actual data that AWS stores.

I would hope the latter is an unnecessary worry, but we've seen them clone retail products from others again and again based on best-selling or high margin products, so why not use intelligence from AWS? I assume it happens at some limited level.
