I’ve gotten a couple Cobra offers in the past few years after leaving jobs, both of them with very solid to great health insurance, and haven’t seen a number higher than $1k/month (101% or whatever of the employer cost). What sort of insurance do you have to have to ask for $3-5K/month? That would be 36-60K a year! I’ve never seen a company paying close to that in benefits. And my current employer has a “cost to employer” under $1k/month for insurance.

Have I just gotten lucky with companies with good negotiated deals? (The open exchange plans generally have looked terrible compared to any group plan I’ve had in the last 10 years.)

What's the catch? Imagine a few cases. Let's assume s3 volume rate of $50/TB.

-I post 1gb video file on Reddit. 100k downloads / month: $5k

-I make a 1gb desktop app. I have 100k downloads / month: $5k

-I post 100gb data file on Github. 10K downloads / month: $50k.

Would I pay $0 on R2? And would there be throttling / rate-limiting?

Absolutely it's a strange choice. From a power perspective it can make sense since solar works very well, but from a water perspective it's a very strange choice. Cheap land is also a very big factor. TSMC purchased over a thousand acres. Where else in the US can you find a thousand acres so near a populous area and so easily accessible off a major freeway like that?

Tax promises and Trump trying to sway the state for the 2020 election had more to do with the choice than anything I think.

So where do we go from here? Had Apple and Google not complied and refused to take down the apps, they could also have been said to be interfering with a (presumably corrupt) foreign election.
I miss those days so much. 80s computer magazines were exciting. The web is great, but it doesn't have the anticipation of waiting for the next issue and then sitting down to dig into it with focused attention to see what was fresh and new and to be wowed by all the things you couldn't afford. A 20 megabyte hard drive for ONLY $1000? That's a good price! Unimaginable luxury, I only had floppy disks into the 1990s.

I am someone who used to type in code from a magazine before I knew what the SAVE command was. You would never see someone doing something like that today.

"In 1983 an average of one new computer magazine appeared each week. By late that year more than 200 existed."

80s computer magazines were thick too! Compute! magazine published 392 pages in December 1983.
At the large company I was at firing wouldn’t be a conversation until at least one review cycle of poor performance (every 6mo), more likely after two. The PIP started at the same time as the firing conversation; before that was time given for the employee and manager to try to figure it out themselves. (Which maybe is what you mean by “is assessed to be an underperformer,” but then doesn’t disagree with the comment you’re replying to, really.)

This is super interesting. Since you seem to have inside knowledge can you compare it to agriculture?

For example: the google machine tells me that cotton production in AZ uses somewhere in the neighborhood of 2.5-3.5 acre ft. water per acre. Would a large fab consume a comparable amount of water?

1 acre = 43.5k sq ft
1 acre foot = 325k gallons

> Google Research employs 2000+ people. I believe not only they all have PhDs, but also from top-tier schools.

This would imply that Google Research is a great deal less meritocratic than Economics research, where someone like John List, who went to an unranked school, can end up teaching at UChicago. More generally ranking is not as big a dealn in Europe in at least one country, Germany. There are definitely people with doctorates from schools you've never heard of working at Google Research.

I don't think Google Research is as credentialist as you paint it. I'm willing to bet $200 at even odds that I can find one person working at Google Research as a researcher who does not have a PhD. My email is in my profile.

Huh.

I have a friend who owns a pool cleaning company, commonly known as pool routes. They contract a large amount of mostly laborers, and give them clients to form a route in which they go pool to pool to clean. 4-6 pools daily during season to my knowledge.

A benefit these independently contracted pool cleaning laborers get:

If you have any sort of personal or family health emergency, other pool cleaners will pick up your route for up to six months, with fully paid leave, and your position guaranteed whenever you're able to come back.

And this is just for cleaning pools.

You don't think plumbers and plumbers unions can do/deserve something close to this or better? Sounds like an awful world to live in if so.
> Your apartment building doesn't have a wheelchair ramp? That's on purpose. If you don't agree with it it's trivial to buy a bag of concrete and build one.

That's a bad metaphor. First it's not possible to build a wheelchair ramp in your apartment building without affecting everyone else. Second, a custom CSS is very easy to make compared to a wheelchair ramp. Third, the comments being hard to read is, again, on purpose. I don't know the precise reason behind it, from what I understand it's part of the numerous tools that HN has to try to be a better place for discussion online than the rest. Some other tools seems to be: dead comments not being visible by default, new accounts having their names highlighted, the "reply" button not being here on "deep" threads in the "regular tree view".

If you don't agree with this decision, that's fine but that doesn't mean everyone is aligned with you.
Good to see the IL was direct in rejecting the idea of an NDA. Meetings like this should not be hidden from public view since it involves decisions that affect the constituents.

Who would we give these controls to? Would this be the government? Hard pass on that. I do believe in controls, but those controls are best left to the individual. I don't need a bureaucrat telling my kids they can't play video games 8 hours a day, that's my responsibility. I don't need a government agency dictating I can't invest in risky real estate ventures, it's my fault if I invest and lose my money. I don't disagree that control is needed, just the level at which it is applied. I will admit to being conflicted. I don't like the idea of legalized herion, though I did support marijuana legalization initially.
You mean to fund all the private contractors with no-bid contracts. Afghanistan cost the U.S. taxpayer $14 trillion. $7 trillion of that went to "private contractors" like Haliburton.

To me that's fairly breathtaking.

If it really is funding the military, yes. Let's do that. The military answers to the civilian authority in the White House. If we're talking Big Mil, on the other hand. No. Not a dollar more, please.
>The Air Force has said it plans to pursue both the ARRW and the Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile (HACM), as initial and future hypersonic attack capabilities, respectively.

These are offensive standoff weapons launched from air designed to hit time sensitive targets. The question is really what targets, like I said, spending the money on 3000 JASSMs is already enough to sink every major PLAN combatants with room to spare. Need to consider what these hypersonics can hit that traditional standoff weapons can't. Or just the politics behind aquisition between branches. I'm not saying this is bad/wasteful defense spending, but curious what it's exactly for.
How do you stop a rootkit that's designed into the firmware of the system you're running on?
Most managers don't either and will deal with some amount of loss of productivity...but part of that is also a calculation of "how long will it take to train a new hire X to do poorly performing employee Y's job" as well.

Now I've heard my fair share of people that claim "I was fired because my kid was sick"...and that might have been the final straw, but it was the other 7 unscheduled absences in the last few months that were not covered under family leave laws that were the major factor. Sometimes managers can't wait to terminate those employees because they weren't good anyway and they are just waiting for a reason to fire them in an easy way.
You lose out on the network effect with this solution.

If someone gets to pick who's allowed onto a network, then they won't bother using it. Maybe your friends will join since they are allowed to add _their_ friends, but those friends of friends wouldn't bother because most of their friends can't join, meaning your friends won't bother either unless they really want to talk to you specifically.

It would work for groups where most people know each other, but there are already options for that that allow users to be in groups that aren't all owned by the same person e.g. Discord, Signal, Facebook.

I see. I like it. For me the killer feature would still be multi tracking though.

When I have musical idea in my head and I'm trying to use my voice to save it I need to put parts that are supposed to be on top of each other one after another. It would be nice to record them properly.

I'm guessing it's very non-trivial to add it UX-wise without destroying current simplicity.

Also, stereo HD is not doing it for me. Maybe add some filters as paid option?

Where voice memo strongly wins with you is data synchronization and backups. I often even use my watch for recording. That's just fireworks, but moving data from phone to macOS seems like a really useful feature. So I'd love to have it backed up and synchronized (preferably icloud, would be nice to avoid having any account associated with the app).

I hope any feedback helps, I'll try using it for a longer time, it does feel better than voice memos. Thanks and good luck.
I think it can be simultaneously true that Chinese (or rather urban Chinese) feel manipulated by forces beyond their own control, and that most of them approve of their central government. The fact that the central government is trying to reign in these forces might contribute to that approval.

I think robotics is a field where there are magnitudes of more engineers than required. Look at the college enrolment in robotics vs the actual jobs that are there in market.

Yeah, the only sure way is to "move jobs by manager." This is why employees will often follow good managers from one company to another.
In the film "A Good Year", the main character reaches a crossing point between his successful career [high, big finance] and his budding rediscovered life [a vineyard].

He is offered the coveted, prestigious Partnership. Rich for life. Known around the globe. Power. Influence. Move mountains. Meet Kings.

Or.

He can make efforts to reboot a vineyard in another country. It's fallowed somewhat over the decades but it has promise if given attention. The wine was and can be again good; there is a reputation to (re)harness.

His boss calls him to carpet. "So, here it is. Your money or your life."

A vineyard isn't brain cancer; the point remains the same. There are times when you need to choose over the other.
Privacy Violation – a concern for consumers/users
That's an excellent observation.
This is true - most of the object storage providers are really bad at serving data fast, they more focused on a cold storage. Tebi.io works really fast for small files, plus it is a geo-distributed object storage meaning that data is physically stored in different locations around the world, greatly reducing latency.

Backblaze, DO Spaces simply were not designed for this in the first place.
Maybe! But here's the rub-- a US person has some legal protection against surveillance directly by the US, in the US, but (maybe?) none against Australia, for data processed in country or by Australians. Australia then (maybe?) has no safeguards against sharing their surveillance of US persons back to the US.

It's a legal and bureaucratic not technical puzzle. I wouldn't believe any comfort statement on the point either. This sequence isn't a bug, it's a feature of the Five Eyes configuration.
We once had a customer who would call us in a panic a couple of times a year saying our inspection equipment was experiencing unusually high false rejects and they were generating very high scrap rate. By the time we got a technician on site the next day, everything was working flawlessly and the customer couldn't reproduce the problem either. This went on for almost three years with various levels of escalation to the current management. Finally, one day a technician was on site for another project when the customer came up to him and said "It's happening right now! Come fix it!" The technician rushed over to the equipment and discovered that the sun was shining at exactly the right angle to cause a lens flare in one of our cameras. This happened twice a year as the sun moved along its trajectory. A strategically placed piece of opaque plastic fixed it permanently.

Haha, this is the way.

Now my response is quite straightforward: Sure, I am happy to talk if you can offer me $250,000 USD, Work from Home (I live in Mexico) and X, Y, Z benefits that I currently have.

This also applies for the ones that want to have a call to you for a "mysterious client" ( particularly for exec positions), usually just wasting your time. You are the one that contacted me, if you want to get my time better be for something good. It usually isn't.

> the Koalas would eat the leaves of Eucalyptus trees, reducing the fire risk

Sadly that won’t work. Koalas hardly make a dent in the consumption of eucalyptus trees. And on top of that, mature Eucalyptus leaves are extremely dry, so koalas will only eat the youngest shoots. So if they had any impact on the trees, it would be making them more flammable, not less.
Yes, some kids will find a way. I would have. But I have no problem making the barrier to entry higher, at least until parents start responsibly introducing their kids to alcohol or drugs instead of just pretending they don't exist or worse, arguing they are awful from a religious or otherwise zealous perspective.

In a perfect world, parents would teach their kids about how to party responsibly, but we don't live in a perfect world. At the very least, when kids get older they can arguably make slightly better decisions (e.g. think more clearly) sometimes.
You can guarantee undetected stack overflow is impossible if you do two things. First you mprotect() a 4096 byte at the bottom of the stack. Second, you program the compiler to fail if an individual function allocates a stack frame larger than that.

True sense of authority keeps everyone at bay; if one a mod goes rogue it all collapses. But when a mod can be countable for their actions, everyone acts as a community and holds the peace. A transparent modlog could really make a community.

Clan's were more than just a bunch of mates playing a game. It was a free-open community where everyone was treated with respect regardless of who you were. Q3Arena was my first FPS at 13 and I fell in love for just the community spirit.

Organized clan-wars between X and Y, joining rival clan-servers just to poke and have fun are days which are now lost. It's the same experience of inserting a VHS cassette and hitting play knowing you were going to receive a real-feel of an experience.

I may of hit the tequila a bit too stiff tonight and this really hits hard but I do wonder if the same experience will ever make a come back.

Signed integers should be used as sparingly as floating-point. They should not be used in ordinary code because ordinary code has no use for them until they break something.

The most notable exception would be languages which allow negative indexing, but IMHO if that were syntactic instead of relying on actual signed integers, it would be safer (I.e., [- $int] would be a different syntax from [(-$int)] and the latter would not be correctly typed.)
