> if you were to setup a ready-to-go tracking package, You would easily take over the entire market.

So do it. :-)

My guess is that by the time to build that as an end-user suitable product (including stuff like enclosure, packaging/i, structions, distribution, retail channel, support, etc) and stand up the web service dashboard and write the mobile apps, unless you can go from zero to 100k units in the field immediately, you're gonna end up at similar end-user pricing. 4-5 times more for the product (which is still only a couple of hundred bucks) is a lot of years of $15 Alibaba GPS tracker with $3-5/month subscription SIMs in them.

I'd bet good money that trying to outcompete existing produce segments on price isn't going to be the unicorn success stories that are told of customers for these in 3-5 years time, it'll be people who've thought up entirely new markets and product categories that this device makes possible.
The Japanese corporation I worked for had engineers and managers change jobs every two years.

One of the reasons was that they wanted to "cross-train" people. They liked to have a lot of process, and tended to think of employees as "Swiss army knives," that could adapt. They had style guides, and a whole infrastructure (HR and technical), to support this. Lots of training.

Not sure how effective it was. I feel that they weren't as productive as I'd like, but they were really good engineers. I had a lot of respect for them (which doesn't mean that I didn't want to strangle some of them; from time to time).

Eskimo refers to more ethnic groups than just the Inuit and is perfectly acceptable when refering to circumpolar groups outside of the US & Canada.

Eskimo isn't an offensive word, and is only considered inappropriate when its used to refer to Inuit peoples. Which this isn't.

I don't think this has anything to do with the file approach per se, just with using an interface at a higher abstraction level.
When chrome was new and fresh... they fixed the alert dialog... making it possible to escape the tab that popped the alert and even close it... this was real progress. Kind of see their point with iframe but feel it was rash to assume you can just disable a feature. Everything should be permission dialogs... IMO... So then you open a new web app from Fancy CRM or productivity tool and you get a dozen permission dialogs for that domain... fine... do it once and move on... instead you login to Fancy CRM or productivity tool and it's broken now...

I work on Platform one and we use and deploy new versions of these containers weekly and have never had them break in that way. In the Beginning when I was on the Kubernetes team we struggled with the containers just not working at all but they have gotten better.

Now I work on deploying and we run every container from IB and have few issues. If you find them report the images and they will fix them pretty quick.

There's been a recent season of mourning the loss of RSS, but I remain confused about the whole thing because I'm still a happy RSS user. Sure, it's not exactly today's ascendant technology, but it still works fine, most of the websites and blogs I read still quietly support it, and there's a happy little ecosystem of RSS aggregator websites and programs. While I'm a bit sad that a lot of folks don't know about RSS (and also curious about how they even use the web), I'm not feeling any pain as a user.

SuperTokens (YC S20) Is hiring a senior Java developer
1. Blog posts on a real big corporate blog, not on some mailing list no one reads.

2. A few months later: Warnings in the dev tools.

3. A few months after 2, at least a year after 1: Warnings on websites using the feature, for this feature it would probably have made sense to make a yellow or red ex through the padlock.

4. A year after 3, at least 2 years after 1, maybe actually consider actually removing it.

It's folly to think that all important websites are actually maintained, it's certainly not the case that they can all roll out updates within months (think internal websites from vendored software that is rarely updated), and there's no reason to rush. I'd consider what I outlined here to be a very aggressive rollout schedule.

Better than removing it entirely, would be to permanently put in a version of the feature that is still functional but avoids the issues with it. E.g. change the alert dialog to something hideous that clearly explains "this might not be from where it claims it is", but don't entirely break backwards compatibility.
> I believe the greatest unrealized potential is for product manufacturers to embed cloud connectivity without the end-user needing to do anything to get it working.

I feel like this is a double-edged sword for consumer products. Right now, I can keep my smart TV 'dumb' by not connecting it to my WiFi. I have reservations about a TV that has a GPS antenna (for my Zip code) and has its own pipe to the internet that I have no control over.

Not really. Sure, we expect all things in life to wear and tear at one point. I'm pretty sure most MacBook users can deal with occassional failures without venting out their anger online.

The frequency at which Apple Magsafe chargers fail is however quite insane and shows how they are poorly designed and built; therefore poor reviews -- and that's in spite of Apple user loyalty and a huge fanbois base who always come to the company defense's in public forums and reviews. I certainly didn't expect to see such piss-poor reviews on Apple's own website.
Thank you for your feedback. I have been successful impressing hiring managers, but I haven't been able to win over HR and they seem to have veto power.

I'd like to build a profile because I feel it would help me get some short-term work that would provide me with professional references that I need to clear the HR hurdle.
Because they don't want to inflate their salary bill across hundreds of thousands of people.

You can't just give one guy a raise. Especially in this age of Level.fyi, salary transparency works both ways.

Basically they are cycling through every other strategy other than an across the board pay band raise.
We saw this a few times over the last two decades. This is just another form of offshore outsourcing. It failed every time. My personal take? Culture, as in American culture. I worked with internationals people my entire career. American culture is very different than other countries. Be mindful that it’s different, not better or worse. That difference can be overwhelming to the middle management.
> The struts I got to use was full of "smart JSP custom tags"

Which is very much the opposite of how Wicket does things: there are no custom tags, the templates are inert HTML and there's a very small, non-customizable set of wicket tags/attributes (IMO the right way to do it is just IDs).

> That makes no sense whatsoever. Wicket and hiccup have nothing in common.

What they have in common is that all your logic is in code, not markup.

How would it be easy for them to manipulate it? There were security cameras on it. People are acting like this is suspicious, but actually, it would be suspicious if there was no surveillance.
Linus Torvald coined the phrase "We don't break userspace" and he has been less than nice to people who seek to undermine compatibility in the name of security:

From the Google discussion on this change back in March, located here [1].....

> "We haven’t engaged with other browser vendors regarding this change yet, but plan to submit a spec change proposal once the change is approved for Chrome. Since PRs to the HTML spec require one more vendor to support (and none to oppose), we’ll reach out to other vendors before sending the PR."

The first comment response reads.....

> "Although the spirit is right, this isn't quite the correct approach procedurally. It's best to submit a specification pull request before any Intents are approved, to better help promote cross-vendor discussion, and allow the API owners to assess interop risk by looking at the spec (and accompanying web platform tests). The specification pull request doesn't have to be approved, but it should exist, so that there is a public record of what we are implementing at the level of detail of a full specification."

The next comment agrees.....

> "I'd like to second that. A part of the reason we have our launch process is to evaluate interop risk, which requires engaging with other vendors to see if they'd follow our path.
A spec PR would enable them (as well as the API owners) to evaluate what this change actually means and allow them to express their opinions on it.
FWIW, I'd be surprised if they weren't supportive of this, assuming we prove that this change is web compatible."

So here we see on full display Google acknowledge that they have enough market share to ignore other vendors, awknoledge that it is not in the web's best interest to do so, and yet somehow that part of the discussion was allowed to completely die out.

So yeah, switch to Mozilla. The conversation they had on the topic was much more aligned with what I want to see from my supply chain than the conversation I saw over at Google.

1. Tell people who read the news (blog)

3. Tell users, but without breaking it since it's not something they can solve (padlock)

4. Maybe finally break it

Terrific answer. Thanks for responding here! What kind of real world speeds are you getting on North American M1 (and NB1) networks? I know the rates that the carriers quote but see some people say to not really expect anywhere near those for these service levels.

My use case would probably want to push a fair amount of data (say 1MB) very infrequently in a semi interactive mode so there would be a user waiting for the transfer to complete. Thanks!
In software engineering?

At all companies I've been at or have intimately known about, there have been clear guidelines for promotions and examples to look at. These are medium to large companies. FAANG and non-FAANG.

I'm sure you're right in a lot of cases, but I feel like at most software companies I'm not too far off.
Can someone provide color as to why this was such a discretionary process? If I get a call from my broker, and I don’t post collateral, I’m liquidated immediately. I’d at least expect a fixed date which triggers liquidation if you catch someone picking their nose.

In your experience, how is American culture different?
I agree with everything you say. But to me, it's places that cater to "riff raff" that I associate with carding for a vaccine pass or whatever. Same as I would never go to a bar that would search my bag, or fly with a discount carrier that treated me like a cow being herded around. The fact that I only go to places that treat me respectfully and as an adult is exactly why I would not go to a place that makes me go though a bunch if hygiene theatre before I can pay them. To me, covid has made lots of businesses reinvent themselves under the economy airline model where customers are stuck with them and have to do what they say, and all service inadequacies are "for your safety". If that's why makes you feel better, none of my business, but it's not for me.

Also, just because the job market is hot doesn't mean there aren't TONS of chumps.

The number of people out there who are happy being underpaid because of inertia far, far exceeds the number of people who will actively leave a job for another to get a bigger pay day.

Companies are caught because if they give the subset who are actively dissatisfied a raise, they are giving the "inert employees" a raise as well.

Hence they have a huge disincentive to give anyone a raise.

Code has been getting automated since basically day one of programming.

The funny thing about automation in programming - it has always opened up more doors - and led to more employment in programming.

We are so far from anything that resembles real automated coding - that coding automation should continue to be celebrated by engineers for a long time.

GitHub Co-Pilot and VS Code aren't going to replace you - they're just going to let your company offer a better product, release a new version sooner, test different versions, etc.
geofft has it - I wasn't saying pdfs were annoying, but rather that it's annoying to click on a pdf (or html or anything else) and have it save something to my hard drive rather than displaying the damn thing.

Levels FYI doesn't usually do that.

Looking at how they handle Google, for example they show base|annual stock|signing bonus.

So when you see 130K base + 33K stock, that was a grant of 130K vesting over 4 years. And then with signing and annual bonus of ~20K, that person is in fact making 200K starting (although the median is probably a bit lower for a completely new employee).

On the other hand, people often forget about refreshes when looking at these things. And while a refresh grant won't be as large as the initial grant, they do make the overall comp significantly larger.
Yes, that system is discussed in the article, and it looks like it doesn't work very well. I doubt it can keep up with human labor.

I agree. It will happen eventually, but the bigger point here that is more related to to discussions on HN is that despite a lot of enthusiasm, machine learning and AI are still in the amino acid phase of evolution, and everything still sucks.
> The number of charges filed with the EEOC has gone down over the last 20 years

Yes that’s a compelling data point for decreasing legal actions (and it’s interesting, thanks for including it), but not all actions and not all fears end up in front of the EEOC, right? This data point alone is likely due to decreasing union membership over the last 20 years, but is also explained by the increasing prevalence of mandatory arbitration clauses. What it doesn’t explain is why HR departments nationwide are increasing efforts to educate employees about anti-harassment policies. If they are legally in the clear, why is that happening? Twenty or thirty years ago it was hardly a thing, today it’s the norm.

> They don’t have to show anything. The employee has to prove that it’s age discrimination.

You are right about the legal burden of proof in court, absolutely. Court isn’t the only possible outcome of a discrimination claim, though, and the one specific example you gave is a defense against a discrimination claim that would not hold up in court (firing a long-time employee for claiming to not like the right football team).

I agree with everything you’re saying about what is required in court, and what are the legal rights for all employers in the US, not just tech companies. That’s just not exactly what I was talking about.

Automation? You don't necessarily need infinite population growth, Japan and other nations with low immigration and population growth may be able to make things better than it seems. Look at corporate tax bases and number of employees in major companies. You could totally run a high income economy with fewer people and better outcomes.

Population growth is not a requirement for economic growth, it is just one of the laziest ways to move the dial up.
What are you, some nazi?
there is no cost savings, just like there isn't with most (all?) cloud services, and that isn't the intent of those services, or this one.

the intent is to lower one-time, up-front costs as much as possible, and spread that cost of entry out over multiple fiscal years as a smaller repeating subscription fee, even if the overall cost increases.

service vendors, like AWS and Microsoft, LOVE more constant, predictable, and even income, and businesses love lowering one-time expenses, even if it costs more overall in the long run to do it.

yes, thin clients (at a minimum) are needed, but those are cheap, easily deployed, and last for years.

Making a service multitenant is more complex, yes. But many companies roll their own CDNs. There are lots of good reasons to do that, and it's a problem that can be reduced to a single developer for understanding.
