The free versions of Google Workspace apps (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs) are also there to build demand for the corporate version. Or worst case, if building demand fails, they at least create familiarity -- so that there's more employee acceptance to potentially switching from MS Office to Google Workspace.
Why would an omnipotent being need luck? They have infinite brute force.
Of course they can. It happens all the time, FOMO is a powerful drug.
I will be your WSB historian.

Two folds to the story -

WSB Side

WSB mods alleged the sub was suffocating with the GME and subsequent squeeze stock posts and shitty memes. I made couple memes myself but after the weeks to come WSB was inundated with all the memes centered around this one topic. WSB is a general investment subreddit that took a turn towards GME everything.

Another problem was GME's foundational investment theory, that it had high short interest. But if you look at DFV's way of investing he preached low valuation high potential stock. Just the mere short interest as a determinant wasn't true but an after thought. From that point on, many people who thought they were late in the GME game started to pile on other high short interest stock like Bed Bath and Beyond, WKHS etc. At that point WSB was becoming less of a shitty DD based stock to shitty meme based stock site. Mods clutched up modding but you can never know the difference between one pile of shit vs another pile of shit when it comes to a post. So post removal felt arbitrary.

Superstonk Side

The GME centered group left WSB because there was a new mod who didn't fit the WSB philosophy. There were some personal hypothesis about her(?). They even alleged I believe that mod made their adolescent child a mod of WSB who were also removing content left and right.

My post about cautioning people about GME which reached some magnitudes of thousand upvotes and plenty of agreeable comments was removed without notice.

There were several highly upvoted and good value posts removed which led to people believing that the real wall street might have infiltrated the WSB. So, in this cloud of distrust groups left and they started their own spinoff version of WSB.
You "understood" what he meant because what he meant is a vague term meant to be taken differently depending on who reads it.
But the colors! Back then you had black, white, blue, yellow, green and red. And today? You even have two different shades of light blue.
Architecturally they’re still very different from traditional desktops/laptops. SoCs are a main distinguishing feature and that pervades a lot of the low-level SW design where you actually basically have a non-transferable OS installation hard coded to the device instead of a traditional HAL letting you easily swap out a processor without much difficulty. For a very long time the control model was flipped as well and your baseband (cellular modem) CPU was actually the primary CPU with the OS running on the more restricted “application processor” (I think most or all designs have corrected this error these days, but certainly this was true in 2013).

These differences of course are superficial and your phone could be used as a computer. It’s an arbitrary category like most categorizations that we make. I think the important distinction is that smart devices are largely content consumption devices vs computers being relegated to content creation. For example, would you say that someone who’s used a SmartTV has used a computer just because the specs are largely the same?

I think you should fully expect computer use to decline over time because most people consume rather than create content.
I understand what you mean, but I see a series of lucky moments, that all had to happen for the paper to be published.

The role of luck is often under-estimated.
This is a complaint made fairly regularly, but I mean...yes. spam classification and filters require "scanning" your email.

The workspace data policies are fairly strict though,your data doesn't leave your account and can't be used outside the context of your account.
They can come take your hardware wallet but they can't use it without your passphase/pin and most have a built in self-destruct if you get the pin wrong too many times.

Now if someone has an electron microscope and can read the raw memory cells, that is another matter, but not your typical adversary trying to steal for a quick buck at a pawn shop.

It is also more durable because gold you can only store in a single location, whereas with a hardware wallet you could put you 24 word backup somewhere hard to access, maybe spread across one or more safety deposit boxes.

Then if your funds ever feel at risk, you can simply erase your hardware wallet and go on vacation with confidence knowing you can trivially restore it when you get back with a trip to the bank.

Good luck checking for `None` equality and indent your code like 5 times... a sort of railway programming[0] avoids the awkward checks for values, making functions work with higher order types.

>Gmail will remain free as long as email is expected to be free by users.

This was also the expectation of G suite users. Forcing non-business users onto a paid business product which didn't even exist when users signed up was not the expectation. The original question should be looked at from that perspective. How long until Google creates a business focused Gmail plan and forces any user who uses their Gmail for business onto that plan. That could be done with a simple change in terms of service as well.
Yeah, to put it another way, consumers aren't going to notice the difference, and prosumers probably would rather have had 10gbe. 2.5gbe is an awkward compromise imo, where the only real argument for it is strict observance of the cat5e rating over very long runs (that aren't super likely in consumer usage anyway, and could be accommodated by 5gb/2.5gb fallback speeds).

It's not every day you need multi-gig, but it is very nice when you do end up doing something big that hammers your network hard. You do need to be serving from a SSD or a NAS, neither of which are particularly unusual anymore, but I guess for most consumers they don't really work with "their media" at all anymore, everything has transitioned to the cloud for average consumer. Everything is streamed, and if you want to back up a steam game or something, you just delete it and re-download it if you want it later.

Bet that kinda sucks for people in Canada or australia on super limited data caps though, it's kind of a weird US- and euro-centric perspective.

As a prosumer, it's a bit of a mentality change, but for things like photo or video editing, you don't need to have tons and tons of fast storage on your local machine, you can push it off to to your NAS and just manage it like the rest of your data, which is a huge convenience thing (in terms of backups, and in terms of capacity). 4-drive or 8-drive NAS can push a ton of data even if random isn't quite as fast as a SSD (and that's why files get cached in RAM anyway).
1. We build unikernels using the 'kraft container' which is Docker/OCI image[0][1] which has the necessary build tools to build Unikraft unikernels. We plug this into Concourse CI which builds thousands of combinations of Unikernels[2] as part of our code review process[3]. In addition to this, we have on-going research and tooling to help automatically discover permutations of Unikernel builds[4]. We then run the unikernel natively using the target platform/hardware combination or use QEMU emulation.

2. Really great question, but mostly you can expect the same functionality of an application when it runs as a unikernel because the application "thinks" it's still running in a traditional OS environment -- as it should be. Check out this documentation[5] (after step 7) about porting, it has snippets about where the boundary sometimes breaks. Even then, you can run it in POSIX-compatibility mode[6].

3. Well, general-purposes are not suited for deployment environments (which is what Unikraft is suited for). Installing Gentoo (or Ubuntu, Debian, for that matter) is a waste of resources if you only SSH in once to install your desired application.

> Right now PHP does not support Unicode at a low level. There are ways to ensure that UTF-8 strings are processed OK, but it’s not easy, and it requires digging in to almost all levels of the web app, from HTML to SQL to PHP. We’ll aim for a brief, practical summary.

I'll probably get an MNT Reform when the LS1028A SoM is available[0]. Though I mean, it's tempting regardless. I picked up a couple super-cheap old ThinkPads in the meantime to tide me over, especially to "plan ahead" for my MNT Reform setup haha :)

Apple won't allow that. The only interpreted code is JS and must run on the built-in engine. Plus "dynamically added" code/content must first be approved by Apple or your app can be revoked.
Basically there is no shortcut here. Which is why the OP and others like Fyne (https://fyne.io) are taking the approach of write once, compile for anywhere.

Anyone have suggestions of the best way to call BS on clinical studies and their marketing? A publicly traded company's products are all based on BS science. I've pointed it out to them but they are dead silent. Just one example is them comparing (in marketing) the active group of one study to the control group of another study performed in different countries years apart with different inclusions criteria massively different n and insanely different dropout rates. It just blows my mind this stuff happens.

Hmm, maybe I'm just ignorant of what's out there, what company gives out 200k sign-on and a linear stock vest? I'm mostly using an example of an SDE 1/2 (hence 200k offer) and for the most part I've only seen Amazon give a sign-on that high and over 2 years. For Sr engineers, I've seen Amazon offers north of 700k sign-on split over 2 years

Python is fine with maps and filters, and has lazy calculations.
How to Write Professional Emails
No one weird trick, just the obvious. Don't sign up for too much, strictly limit your inbox to one page, delete or handle+archive as necessary to achieve that. I've been using Gmail since 2004 and am currently using 0.54 GB of my 15 GB quota; I've never regretted deleting anything later.

When you say "so much junk", are you talking about spam that Gmail isn't catching? Or just legitimate mail you don't find very interesting?

The simple answer: those companies aren't evil. They're not selling your data, or bringing the financial system down, or emptying the wallets of the poor. They're not god's gift to mankind or finding the cure to pancreatic cancer either. They're just fine.
Yes, injection clinics along with increased enforcement of existing laws is a proven solution but for some reason SF refuses to adopt this method.

Allowing the homeless to shoot up on the street with open untreated sores is somehow seen as more humane. It has made the downtown, civic center and tenderloin indistinguishable from an apocalyptic movie.

why would you seek out statistics for one single industry that you perceive as low skill rather than just finding low wage statistics specifically?

44% of U.S. workers are employed in low wage jobs with a median annual wage of $18,000. [1]

Sure we can staff fast food with only 16-19 year olds but what about every other sector of the service industry and the myriad of other "low skill" jobs? are there 40 million plus "high skill" jobs out there waiting for the taking? The answer is no. [2]

At these bubble valuations and Fed funds rate going up I would hope cash is valued more.
Thanks for the tip, Salem is actually on my list of places to check out. Much appreciated.

Agreed that fully car based living is ridiculous -- it's so sad to visit family and realize that I literally cannot go anywhere unless I hop in a car. I run for exercise pretty frequently, and find it a fun way to check out neighborhoods, and it is absolutely pathetic that most of my family members suggest driving someplace to run because their neighborhoods have no sidewalks, 60mph speed limits, and not even a shoulder to run on.

Traffic, price, and crime issues in big cities have largely turned me off from them since Covid started -- I just don't see the price:performance ratio there. But I also don't really take advantage of cultural things like museums and music venues very much, and I grew up in a rural community so cities have always felt a bit uncomfortable for me. So don't take that as an outright hatred of cities... I just feel they aren't for me. Hoping to find that "walkable/bikeable large town/small city" middle ground soon.
In fact you aren't getting downvoted -- this is a very popular opinion in this thread and you are currently the top comment with most of the discussion being on this point.

I think it was just someone sharing their experience. Which I find super useful, and people rarely do. While it can be nit-picked, I didn't think they said anything off the wall. Pointing out there might be some consequences for work experience of how quickly they have scaled is not off the wall -- you maybe even agree you just don't think it's worth critisizing or even mentioning, but what is worth mentioning is something reasonable people can disagree on.

The downside of lots of criticism of someone who shares their experience like this... is it discourages it. People do it so infrequently that I'd rather support people who do and encourage it, by making sure any feedback is constructive and supportive and charitable.

Instead, I suspect at this point the OP is thinking "Well, THAT was a mistake, next time I won't share my experience."
Can't you 'compose' together the various errors inside the `Failure` and inspect it at the end of the pipe?
Heh, maybe _thats_ why we don't have a 300M valuation! I shouldn't comment on HN while deploys go out. Fix going out currently, thank you!
I'm not sure that's quite fair. When I left my job of 3.5 years I did field a lot of questions about why I was leaving and where I was going, but I wouldn't have described that as people "feel[ing] the most burning question in the universe is why [I] decided to leave".

(Also, when I came back two months later I faced a lot of questions as to what the hell happened to bring me back so fast. But that's a different story!)

It didn’t used to be this way. Apple software used to be functional, intuitive, and fun in a lot of cases.

Things went downhill rapidly when Jony Ive’s team took over software design. I wasn’t a huge fan of the gaudy extreme skeuomorphism of the late Forstall era, but at least you could tell what was a button. What you could do with a piece of software was much clearer.

The current team are insistent that simplicity is when controls are hidden behind hover and tap states, or inside overflow menus in a toolbar only 5% full.
Tell HN: Political topics don’t belong here
The recent thread on /r/antiwork is what prompted me to write this. Every time one of these topics is featured it leads to nothing but the same old tired arguments. And yet when I see one of those threads I can’t help but engage with it. I am making an appeal to the administration of HN to change the guidelines to ban political content even if it is somewhat within the realm of intellectual curiosity.
I don't know how well that impression is born out by the generally short tenures and increasing growth of base pay that we're observing. Lots of decently large tech firms pay well beyond Amazon's rates and manage to retain people for far longer - this move specifically seems to be highlighting that the compensation Amazon was offering was insufficient for the pain employees were being burdened with.

I do also think FAANG built up a reputation for inaccessibility to intermediate devs which gives them an air of prestige but also significantly impairs their hiring ability.
I'm also interested in the Quixey story -- how can a company raise >$100mm without ever releasing a product? What happened there?

As the adage goes, necessity is the mother of invention and Amazon seems to be at a point where it really needs to try everything under the sun to try to attract talent, given their extremely poor reputation.

So rather than address the problems that are giving rise to this extremely poor reputation and commensurate attrition rates -- the only "fix" that Amazon can think of is to offer people more cash so that the net experience becomes somewhat more palatable.
What an entitled prick.
And just consider how much money flows for "micro" transactions. There is plenty of "players" willing to pay money for hardware cheats.
