There was a new article a few months ago about Amazon being worried about that very thing. So they're aware of it but corporate America has an ace up their sleeve they can always rely on: work visas. Politicians aren't going to say no when Amazon wants to import guest workers. Amazon done it for the white collar workers for decades, no doubt they'll be quite happy to do it with their blue collar workforce too.
The experience here, particularly being told to be at a workstation immediately without being told where that workstation is, goes well past mere anxiety into Kakfaesque absurdity.
I did in fact compare them and the difference was negligible to me. I am extremely happy with the Airpod Pros despite having had the Sonys for years before that. The Sonys had OK noise canceling but it was hard to get a consistent seal, especially as my ears got sweaty after short sessions. Never had an issue with the Airpods.

I'm no audiophile, granted. Just a satisfied average Joe. The Airpods are way more convenient.
I'll say this, the Ikea stuff my parents had incorporated a hell of a lot more solid wood than I see today.

While your comment is off-topic to this discussion. I find it funny that you think running bytecode in browser is worse idea than the invention of javascript.
Should have mentioned that the data I was referring to I found here, at John Hopkins' Univ. github, which they are pulling from a variety of sources: https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19
Nothing prevents a website from putting up ads relevant to its content, or ads that are generic enough that don't require tracking of their userbase's age/gender/marital status/what they had for lunch.

But if websites insist on doing this under the illusion that they can monetize their userbase to the last penny, then it's only fair for its users not to allow it and force the website into being more explicit about the monetization - via a paywall.

> has converted to pay only mostly, and i now can't use it anymore

You could, but you're not willing to pay for it. Fair enough. But a significant number of their userbase is now telling them that they're not ready to pay using their personal info. That's good feedback that their users have provided using an adblocker.
Aughhhh... that was terrible. :)
If you can arrange so that you don't have to be in the office daily and/or have flexible enough hours so you can commute outside of rush hour it might be worthwhile to take a look on the other side of Puget Sound. Housing in Kitsap County is a lot more affordable than in King County, and ferry commuting is fine as long as you can do it at times when there is not massive contention for spots.

If your office is either within walking distance of the Seattle ferry terminal or there are good public transit options between the terminal and your office, so that you don't need to take your car on the ferry I don't think ferry contention is an issue. I believe there are park and ride lots near the ferry terminals on the Kitsap side, but I don't know if they fill up.

Yes. Caching is a different animal when you can count on fast, reliable, targeted invalidation. You can cache basically everything with super long TTLs, and just sniper-shot individual cache objects as soon as the backend updates.
I purchased two Airthings View Plus monitors about a month ago. We had a subslab depressurization system installed to mitigate Radon in the basement. The company offered continuous monitoring for $300/yr. Instead I decided to purchase monitors and keep an eye on it myself.

It's hard to know how good the products will be long-term, but the app and charting is pretty good. You can download reports via their web dashboard. I've turned off all notifications except for the CO2 monitor. The ePaper screen is legible, but the text is a little rough around the edges.

Here's what it tracks:

- Radon

- PM 2.5

- VOC

- CO2

- Humidity

- Temperature

- Pressure

I will say that the View Plus is Airthings most expensive product. If you don't care about PM 2.5 or Radon monitoring, they have significantly cheaper options.
I think there would be enormous political pushback by elements of both parties to expanding the guest worker program to unskilled labor.
If that's the correct mirror placement, then adjusting it to barely see your own car is less than five degrees off. If that's a dealbreaker than I'd say it's definitely worth the slight mirror size increase or slight magnification change to make the field of view five degrees wider.
Hmm, well I don't think it's quite one-click, in fact I think it would take fewer clicks to do it on-Wikipedia: click a link like this and then press Publish.

I've annecdotally heard that appraisers do not make good money.

However after getting several houses inspected, making good money doing that, I can believe.
I think it's important to note that it has sucked the humanity out of levels of worker above the bottom-of-the-pole labourer, as well; the HR people and trainers in the post are similarly labourers, though instead of using their muscles they're using their words; but they're still required to work like hands of the automation, with scheduled onboarding sessions and processes they have to follow.

Given enough time, and a smooth process, eventually this should not be so painful; but when it is painful, it is supposed to be the job of a human (especially once in HR) to act as a bridge between process and person, so as to keep morale at a good level and to provide a channel for feedback from employees up to the teams responsible for process automation. It doesn't sound like this is in place here, at all; instead we have people who are displaying all the signs of not caring about the human anymore because they have become so subservient to the machine that they cannot afford to.
Well, as one prerequisite for further torment, you'd need a system that actually allows employees to work for some period of time, rather than the first-day experience being "lol I dunno, also figure it out yourself or you're fired".
My latest youtube obsession has been cooking and food science in general. The more I learn, the most respect I have for foods like american cheese and hershey's chocolate, if only for the incredible science and engineering that goes into them.

Though if it were practical, I do think most people would be better served by indigenous diets. The amount of suffering caused by western diets is immeasurable.
Emails show what happened before Missouri gov. called journalist a “hacker”
Uh, no. Nonbinary people can make decisions. A river cannot make decisions.

If there is a trust for the river, then some human or humans are responsible for making decisions for the trust. So we are talking about an organization of humans that are working to protect the river, not the river itself personified. The organization can sue. The organization can own a bank account. The organization can be awarded damages, provided they have somehow acquired rights to the river. The river cannot do these things.

This is an important distinction because making decisions involves responsibility. If you treat the river as a person in itself, that would mean that the river can be blamed or held responsible, which is nonsense. To do so would hide the responsibility of the real humans who are making decisions. In fact, the organization is responsible, and the humans who run it are responsible for their decisions.

Same experience more or less exactly at Amazon hq in Seattle. The sheer number of people onboarding every week in that room was kind of stunning.
This might be a bit off topic, but do you mind elaborating on your anti-copyright philosophy?
My view is whether it's tame or not often depends on the tool you pick for the job.

Picking something way out of your comfort zone will force you to learn a ton as you go along.

> If I didn't state upfront that I was the tech lead of Workers, someone would (rightly) call me out for astroturfing.

I think the nuance is that you are presenting yourself as someone with responsibility/authority/control over the subject of these benchmarks. As a comparison, consider wording that skirts taking up that mantle:

Full disclosure, I work for Cloudflare, but ...

Not trying to be argumentative and really don't have any hostile feelings or intent. I understand where you're coming from.. just providing my outside take on how the interaction appears. You're within your right to defend your product. Nobody seems to have a problem with that. But you also decided to throw mud on the pile, metaphorically. You admitted you aren't plugged into the back and forth, that's fine. But this isn't news for Fastly and it's hard to take your side in this discussion when your solution is "go do your own tests" which is exactly what Fastly is would like to do. They clearly call attention to your ToS preventing them from doing that in the piece we're discussing here.

Herbert Simon: September 9, 1979: Complete Talk
Herb Simon was captured at Carnegie Mellon University in September of 1979 giving a talk simply titled "Current Research". Simon discusses various Artificial Intelligence systems, concepts and technologies pioneered over the 25 years leading up to 1979.

The complete video is presented here because of its historical significance, complete with all the shortcomings of the original camera used at the time.

Seated for the first 28 minutes or so, Simon then takes to the chalkboard to teach and illustrate ideas. He spends the remaining time teaching and fielding questions at the chalkboard.
Most of the top posts have very similar construction:

Boss (rudely): You have to come in or you're fired.

Employee: I quit.

> Fastly has been trumpeting for years that Compute@Edge

This is the main problem with Compute@Edge, "for years".

They have been advertising publicly C@E for years but it was a restricted private beta. In my opinion the state of C@E has historically been falsely advertised. You could not go to the website and sign up, put in your credit card details and use C@E. If you contacted support they told you it's not generally available, it's for exiting customers and no more seats are left, it was at capacity.

After I bit of Twitter ranting one of the C@E advocates at Fastly did reach out and did get me test access and he did genuinely help as much as he could. I did like what I saw and in my personal testing found Fastly faster than Cloudflare Workers using Rust / Wasm / Wasi. Also one of my services where having issues in Cloudflare workers with ByteBuffers sending binary data, I don't know why but it just worked in Fastly Wasi runtime.

Regardless today my preference would still be to use Cloudflare. You go to the Cloudflare website, sign up with minimal information and are then good to go. Need to move outside of the test tier? put in your credit card, click a button, done. The pricing for Cloudflare is transparent and hugely attractive for workers. Fastly, there is no clear pricing, they are applying there CDN pricing model with a $50 minimum fee which you need to go and read in the small print. That is ok for enterprise clients but obviously they are missing up on all the pay as you go small scale devs that Cloudflare attracts and all the other pay for what you use PaaS's attract that then take it in to their day jobs becoming advocates where the big contracts are signed.

Fastly need to decide if they are a CDN or a internet company with a CDN product. They seem undecided what they are at the moment and have poor product structuring and it's genuinely very hard to go put in your credit card and give them money! Cloudflare are quite clear they are a internet technology company now not a CDN and make it extremely easy for people to give them money in a few clicks.
Or the people are irrational and self-destructive.

It’s pronounced “postgres”, as in “ingress” but with “in” replaced by “post”. If that helps. No one pronounces the “SQL”, as no one can agree on its pronunciation.
The big difference here is that CI/CD should ideally be taking away annoying work from devs so that they can more smoothly go from problem/feature -> hard thinking work -> code -> out the door, without having to deal with the highly repetitive part of the job.

The problem is that there's an expectation that this increase team velocity more than it increases quality of living.

15 years ago in IT if you could automate things, you just ended up with less active work to do. Now that automation is the norm instead of a bonus cool thing, it has become formalized and measured, and you may not have the saved time as free time, you have to now double down on doing the hard parts of the job.

This doesn't actually work in reality for most people as we can't actually think hard for more than a few hours out of the work day (10x'rs exempt, of course.)
Nothing in the minimum requirements listing here mentions drug testing, though. So the places that are doing drug testing are zealously going above and beyond, which itself is a big red flag.
The Graphic Truth: Perceptions of Covid
Delta has been documented to result in higher viral loads and this is thought to be a factor behind the increased transmissibility.

I don't think anyone knows about the kinetics of Omicron yet. I think the increasing prevalence of Omicron may have a lot more to do with its ability to escape immunity from past infection and increased probability of vaccine breakthrough than any inherent higher transmissibility to those who are immunologically naive.
I have no clue on the state of working at Amazon but the writer seems to have some personal issues they should address.

How do robots impede people with disabilities? People are just making up scenarios as an excuse to oppose something new and unfamiliar. This all strikes me as completely dishonest. If you want to avoid obstruction, just fine the owners of the robots when they obstruct the sidewalk.
Cloudflare employees are always very active and open on HN... kentonv is a well known commenter here, and is well known as the tech lead for workers. I don't think he needs your help here.
I'm based Australia and have used Cloudflare for personal/business; if you aren't on the $200/month plan for your website then you don't get (consistent) access to the Australian-based servers for your visitors (they may be routed to eg Singapore instead during some times of the day) which actually hurts performance if your service is located in (say) AWS/Azure Australia region, at least for the CDN aspect, I assume the same for Workers too.
I personally enjoyed it, they were good stats and good marketing.
Ask HN: Is Innovation Slowing Down?
Interesting, AWS terms of service seem more reasonable, allowing you to perform benchmarks at will, but requiring that you disclose to them the methodology you used to perform the benchmark. Seems like a more reasonable clause while still preserving the ability to respond to hostile or inaccurate benchmarks.

Why? Very little on the web is critical. If it mostly renders, it's mostly good enough. shrug It's not like the big vendors with fancy programmers and difficult types release without bugs and security issues. But so what? Life goes on.

I worked for a (small boutique) consulting firm and the much larger telecom company they placed me at required a drug test. The culture in my group there did happen to suck, bad enough that my form pulled let me come off the client after just a month.
I look at things like Dynamics 365 and other no-code/low-code "solutions" and I fear that we're just about at that point.
There are other solutions out there like saas pass that not only support AD on premise but even support legacy Microsoft Exchange, ActiveSync and MAPI protocols.

Then why aren't you just using old school signature based auth? What does having your public key stored on the ethereum blockchain accomplish?
That's going to be tough to get backing for, and should be. With no meaningful labor coordination, the only way that happens is for a few unaccountable people get together and dream up their idea of what that certification looks like, then do a lot of politics to stick everyone else with it.

Sure, maybe you open-source the initial development, but you can't open-source the politics because nobody can have a sensible conversation with a million people working at at least partial cross purposes, and so when you're doing the politics you make a lot of compromises that nobody gets a say in.

Best case you fail, worst case you succeed and everyone is stuck with the result, which inevitably favors employers because why do they even participate if they don't get something at least a little more like a buyer's market out of it?

So nobody with any experience, maybe even nobody with any common sense, participates in whatever process you have from the design side, because all that does is waste time lending legitimacy to something that's guaranteed to be a bad deal for labor. You haven't even sold me on it!

Of course, if you have buy-in and trust from a sizable and valuable labor base first, all this changes. But that means a tangible history of success as part of the leadership of a union, and you've already ruled that out. What you're proposing would be more like a guild, which is actually a model that can work when the people who run it also monopolize the local industry and can exclude anyone who doesn't meet their standards - including preventing other business owners from defecting and hiring skilled upstarts who the guild won't accept for inevitable and again political reasons. Management in this industry isn't that coordinated either, and can't be without being a lot more oligopolistic than it already is.

Maybe in a few decades. Right now I don't see it.
No, the radio waves bounce off the moon's surface. The retroreflectors are not necessary for that, otherwise stuff like Earth-Venus-Earth bounces[1] would not be possible.

I don't know, my general rant on why all CI/CD is complete junk and everyone is cargo-culting a copy without an original in implementing it just never feels like something I want to post over and over again.

The entire concept of how people do code-reviews with PRs is completely broken and everyone's experienced it: when someone leaves a review, asking you to change a variable name, what is even the process? Can I just say "no"? Why didn't they with full access to the branch, just submit the commit? Or open a PR against the branch (did you know you can do that?)? Why aren't code reviews just cherry-pickable commits against branches by default? Why doesn't the PR process let me do a partial rebase as acceptance? Why does everyone do code reviews looking at diffs, when they can't possibly have enough context? (its because the tools are junk and make it difficult to do - I had an idea of doing some line number magic to do full-code commenting in gitlab review mode, but never got round to it).

Like...the situation is about as bad, we're all just salaried.

I moved down a role into a larger company. It came with higher pay so it's pretty good. Generally companies with a principal role are pretty big though, so I'm not sure how practical that is.

It's not exactly less stressful as you have built habits at your current role, and a role change means building new routines and dealing with new problems.

I personally found long breaks more stressful because you're probably used to working hard and the change from work to rest and rest to work can be jarring. Another alternative is frequent shorter breaks, maybe weeks per quarter.
