But you can’t use the word ‘before’ since time didn’t exist.

These are concepts that probably humans can’t grok because we are so wedded to time.
No new standards here thankfully, it is attempting to work with the existing ones - but with a new implementation in a sane programming language.
Now if we could just use cfn-signal (or something like it) when setting up an EC2 auto-scaling group without having to create a Cloudformation stack behind the scenes as the Pulumi awsx package does.

You miss the whole issue with Intel's CPUs.

How much power they draw.

They hit thermal throttle quite often. Especially the high end chips where Intel is maximizing the clock to bin them as i9s.

1% overall decrease in performance to ensure a lower power draw overall to prevent reaching thermal throttling thresholds absolutely does equate to better performance.
Reversion to the mean -- this has been humanity's history for the past several millennia. The post WW2 era until ~1995 was unusual in that mass media worldwide was highly centralized and authoritarian.
Yes I know, I was sort of using it (new CLI designed to be a better interface) to say why is it so.

Apparently I hold a minority opinion that's so offensively contrary it deserves downvotes though!

I maybe didn't make it clear enough, but I think it's somewhere between 'don't care either way' and 'great' for non-interactive/scripted use. I just don't like the UX at all for using it interactively, I find it extremely slow and cumbersome.

This looks to be a big improvement, but - to me - just leaves such easy obvious trivial stuff on the table.

We are reimagining slowly. Sadly there are certain basic things that are required, which is what had to be built out first. The current images were just 0.2 so there is a long way to go!
> The only thing I don't like about it, is how they created SLAAC (a way for a client to auto-configure its own IP address without DHCP) - but didn't enable routers to provide DNS information.

That complexity is also part of why the Linux kernel's built-in support for IP autoconfig at boot time for network-based root filesystems (without using a userspace DHCP client) only supports IPv4.
> A commercial service that only operates in the middle of the night would not be very successful.

I doubt they're going straight for the meatiest market. A commercial service of any sort would be a huge coup for a self-driving car co (as the Tempe launch was for Waymo). In SF's case, it also provides a foothold in a market that's actually economically sustainable. Once the technology reaches the point where more complex and crowded scenes can be handled safely, expanding is relatively trivial compared to spinning up from scratch.

I’m a small company guy - worked in startups for 30 years - and every time I’ve had to work with senior managers who come in after cutting their teeth in large companies I end up heading for the door.

The goals and motivations of large companies are really different to small companies. Large companies are all about risk management - at heart they are about revenue defence - while effective small companies should be all about attack. Being disruptive in a small company is the reason they exist; disruption in a large company is confronting and to be resisted. Going from one to the other is likely to be super stressful.

Unfortunately, as I’ve experienced, you do get these same problems in small companies run by big company people who think they know better. In my experience they just add weight. They don’t understand YAGNI.

IMO the discipline and skills needed to run a startup, especially pre revenue, are very different from those needed for an established company. It’s not that one is less disciplined than the other. But the size of a small company gives them benefits and room to move that a large company can’t touch. Small companies are already risky so a bit of extra risk doesn’t count for much. It’s to be embraced.
This just reads like "I can't find a counterexample and can't think of a way to find a counterexample so there must be no way to construct a counterexample so there are no counterexamples" and there are two points where you can go wrong with that kind of argument

I'm talking about who is setting the procedures, not simply their existence.

With autonomous vehicles, they're asking how to interface with them politely. Like if they signal one to stop and it's not stopping, here is a phone number to call where someone can gracefully shut it down. As opposed to just deploying spike strips or ramming as is their default.

Whereas human drivers don't get the luxury of specifying any such protocols. And rather than reform their own procedures, police are attempting to compensate by creating protocols drivers are supposed to know and follow before an officer is even at the car.

As a motorist I'd love to be able to choose a protocol that police would follow when pulling me over. For example, call this phone number first rather than just walking up to me and risking yourself getting spooked and me getting killed.

The Red side can have the rural, Christian, libertarian paradise they've always wanted, free of city-dwellers and progressive ideas, and the Blue side will have functioning healthcare, infrastructure, scientific and cultural progress and a social safety net not under constant sabotage.

This pales in comparison to the tender process required of government. The logic goes something like this:

Before: In the past, companies would bribe bureaucrats in order to land sweetheart deals. There was not enough competition and hence the government was paying too much.

After: There is now a 10% chance of landing a contract after a month of paperwork. Only Accenture, Deloitte, and a handful of their direct competitors can afford to risk the time and effort required to win a contract. They don't actually do anything, they just subcontract everything while skimming their cut off the top. This isn't corruption however, it's just a nice legal business transaction.

I regularly see projects that might take 1 guy 6 months balloon out to 20+ people for multiple years across three orgs and costing tens of millions of dollars, all in the name of "avoiding corruption".

The best part is that because the projects end up costing so much, they have to be "taken more seriously", which means that the tender process must be "thorough", which means more papework and more managers and paper pushers on both sides of the fence.

There's an exponential cost to this a bit like the rocket equation...
You're exactly correct. Tons of "XYZ is bad" because of some meme that they don't even understand or have context on that hasn't been relevant for years.

I have no idea if MongoDB is good or bad at this point, but the comments of "haha it's mongo" are completely devoid of meaningful content and should be flagged.
Even more so, the guide says you can make the content yourself to replace the “lost” content. You’re being encouraged to clean up the web, it’s actually pretty wholesome.
An Ex-Drinker’s Search for a Sober Buzz
I'm in NZ, and we have very large (I'd wager true wilderness) forests with native trees and fauna. Even cutting native trees on your property can be pretty bad (people get convicted for this). Unless say, the tree is about to fall on your house. We have a lot of national parks, I just would like us to get some more national marine reserves considering we have a pretty large EEZ zone around the country: https://teara.govt.nz/en/map/33830/exclusive-economic-zones (which is the forth largest in the world).

There's so much we can do better, and we are trying. Pine, etc we don't care about cutting down. Ngāi Tahu a South Island Maōri tribe actually own a lot of these forests and the idea is that when they're felled for timber, natives are grown in place. I hope they keep that up, and to be fair, they're not really in need of much more money considering they are the richest tribe in NZ as they've re-invested everything they got after the Treaty of Waitangi.

We should do more though, always.

If you ever visit, there's places in Stewart Island for example that have been completely made rodent free - and things are blooming there. On a school camp (we stayed on a yacht for a week), we got to experience a magical full moon-lit beach and got to witness all the wee kiwis come out and play. It was the most magical sight I've ever seen.
I don’t think you grasp the scale of this change. You think that this “mountain of engineers“ will equal to the (eventual) number of taxi drivers displaced? WORLDWIDE?

Also, you think those engineers, capable of creating an autonomous car, somehow will find it too difficult to install liquid detectors all over the car and combine them with cameras inside to would allow for instantaneous, remote inspection of the car and imposing the penalties/taking the car offline – all of which are possible with existing technology?

My organization had an “open letter” published that claimed hundreds of signatories but wouldn’t disclose the signatures due to fear of reprisal.

I’m not sure how effective this can be as the whole point of names signed is that they are real. A claim of signatures is not very useful.

Cynically, every time I see a “secret list of signers” I just figure the number is zero or a bazillion as it doesn’t matter.

It’s like Nixon’s “silent majority” of supporters.

I think the problem is not lack of investment, but how nuclear power plants are built. Experience effects come from people doing a task over and over, learning to do it faster and modifying it so it can be done faster and better. But there's little opportunity for that in nuclear construction. Most workers will not work on many NPPs, and the designs are not easily changed.

It might be better if a string of smaller but identical NPPs were built with overlapping construction timelines, so groups of workers could specialize on one part of the construction of each and switch to the next in line to repeat the process. This would be a kind of assembly line without a factory. But this would require construction of many reactors, which means they'd have to be small.
Renewables benefit from having huge opportunity for this kind of pipelining, because individual units are so small.

"best practices" = "common practices" in practice.

Not necessarily best. Best practices you get when you apply a darwinian approach in your org and try out several techniques before selecting the best. What is called best practices too often is a name for "we've done it this way since the beginning".
going from link #2 it sounds like it is a highly scalable engine that does the following:

1. Stores arbitrary state related to permissions

2. Customizable rules that may refer to any state in #1

3. A service which allows clients to query if User U should be given permission P on artifact A, based upon #2

[edit]

Actually it sounds like #1 is actually a directed graph, not arbitrary state.

I don't get how it hurts anyone to have to pay market rate. If your product doesn't work at market prices, then that's your problem - not scalpers.
In concert ticket sales, scalpers get preferential treatment because:

1. nepotism: they know someone who works at or owns part of the venue, or the performer, or the performer's manager, etc

2. they reliably buy in bulk

3. corruption: they pay off someone on the inside.

I think Sparta was overrated militarily, but logically, a great army may still have a losing record, because the only people who would even dare fight them are ones who think they can actually win.

Show HN: NLU-powered virtual office overlaid on the desktop
Co-founder here. There are two things that make remote work tools fall flat: you can’t see what’s happening among your team unless via green/red/yellow lights on Slack/Teams, or by switching into a browser on other virtual offices. And when you do want to interact, it’s manual & painfully deliberate.

Relationships thrive on nuance, context, and familiarity. We’re abstracting this all onto your desktop, allowing you to speak to teammates using only your voice, and displaying lightweight avatars on top of your other applications that emote & interact automatically from their owners' existing inputs, so you can catch what’s happening at a glance.

We’ve been tinkering since pre-pandemic to bring people to life on the desktop, sustainably, so that presence is something felt not managed. We’d love to get your feedback.
We can go as long as people have faith.

As much as we want to view the world (economy) as a financial machine, its really runs on the belief that people have for the system.

> This association is explained by two dominant views: devaluation and queuing. The [former] argues that the proportion of females in an occupation affects pay, owing to devaluation of work done by women. The [latter] views the pay offered in an occupation to affect its female proportion, due to employers’ preference for men–a gendered labor queue

These both seem like unlikely possibilities to me, as they assume salaries are principally determined by the whims of employers rather than market forces (a job will likely pay more if it has the potential to earn the company a lot of money and for which the pool of qualified candidates is small). Kindergarten education doesn't pay poorly because most Kindergarten teachers are women, but rather because there's not a lot of money to be made in Kindergarten education but there are lots of people who want to be Kindergarten teachers.

The article is an SEO guide for startups, not recipe blogs, which exist in a separate category of SEO gamification.

Startups usually get their SEO hits by writing detailed guides on something tangentially related to their product. For example, I will see posts from Lucidchart's website when I'm looking up "process mapping template". They've created a lengthy web page discussing different types of process mapping, and include downloadable templates.

I had never heard of Lucidchart before, they appear to be a competitor to MS Visio. I ended up signing up for an account, but ultimately felt it wasn't right. I wouldn't have signed up at all if I felt the article I discovered wasn't useful.

Of course you can choose not to bother with SEO at all and hope your website magically generates qualified leads.
It's not so surprising that these people are ignorant, but what's really frustrating is that they don't even realize their own ignorance. If they did that, maybe they'd get help writing these questions from somebody with a clue.
The examples here don’t seem to indicate that a 3,600 person company has a toxic culture. It’s a dozen or so complaints and it seems weird to extrapolate that to the entire org without more data.

Of course the headline is true that some employees think it’s toxic. But that’s not terribly remarkable without further info.
I see. Thank you for clarifications.
