I work at Amazon and love it and don't want to work at Google because I want to work on meaningful big projects that deliver real value to customers rather than re-writing a Chat app for the 6th time, or spending time on mandatory-top-down monorepo merges.

I think I would be deathly bored at Google from everything I hear.
I dunno. It sounds wrong to say "where are Safeway warehouses?" -- it sounds more appropriate to have instead said "where are the Safeway warehouses?"

> their audience is skewing older and older

Been reading that facebook is out of fashion for the young uns for several years, way before any privacy changes on part of anyone.

Also, question: how do they know their audience's average age? From invasive tracking?
If that were true of most customers, Apple could easily allow other storefronts, since nobody would be inclined to use anything but their service. Without competitors though, there's no way to determine if Apple's offerings really are competitive.
I wonder what the article says…
If is wrong disavow is one possible way, another would be to repeat the experiment and publish a correction criticizing your own article.

On the other hand, if your name is on an article, you must do your homework and know if what you are signing is realistic or not.
This forum is run by a US company and was originally made for their US portfolio.

Large US states are more populous than most countries, and the US tech industry is orders of magnitude larger than most countries'.

If US weren't broken out, it would be a huge outlier at the top and wouldn't be nearly as interesting.

I don't know of any other country that would make the chart that much more interesting by being broken up.
On Opening a Bookstore: Books Are Magic
your suggestion that we throw all of that out is, literally, barbaric.

Sounds like you're arguing with someone who doesn't actually exist. If this happens frequently, it might be a good idea to talk about it with someone who is there for you.
There were pebbles with displays? Crazy. Finding a good dot matrix display takes me longer than a half hour - I don't need 5000, nor do I want to pay $40 each. E-ink needs to be cheaper, I think it's probably good enough for stuff like watches.

There are arduinos with breadboards that are between US dime and US quarter sized, if I wanted the exact feature set I'd probably start there. Seeed or sparkfun or adafruit sells the little demo boards. Solder on a tiny lithium battery and charging/buck circuit, and a 9dof spatial sensor, and a prototype is born.

If you could get a metal clamshell around it and a band, you could have a watch that's overall smaller than the apple watches of yore.
Oh dang sorry, I'll get right on that
In my account they definitely failed.
As you say, they did a great job with the hardware but the only real software they are even advertising for it is a worse version of vrchat that they took way too long to clone.
I don’t know how to chock it up other than as a failure, they acquired instagram only 2 years earlier. Instagram is now a Snapchat tiktok and a little YouTube wrapped into one.
I work at Google and my team is working very hard on some greenfield stuff, although there's good work-life balance as well.

Don't believe everything you hear (although I suppose that works both directions).
>The act is taking steeper measures again child pornography. Are you somehow trying to imply that this will harm the LGBT community?

Sensationalized yes 100%, a bill that defines what is safe for children to see and not see content wise is absolutely a cause for concern as it enters a very partisan political chamber.

Sadly just cause a bill is aimed to do good does not mean the fine print doesn't screw over vast populations or has anything to do with how its advertised at the begining. Look at what the policies that made Pizza a 'vegetable', they were attached to policies to help children's health.

This was a surprisingly good list. Most of these kinds of articles just consist of someone bemoaning the fact that Go isn't Haskell or whatever language they like more. But this is a legitimate list of things that could and should (in my opinion) be changed without turning Go into not-Go.
I thought the exact same thing. Clicked the link fully expecting to see chairs spinning at 7000 rpm. Was actually wondering if these objects could handle the forces involved without disintegrating.
Show HN: Angularis – like Tetris, but based on triangles
Angularis is a game similar to Tetris, but based on triangles instead of squares. Which is why it also has diagonal movements. I had this idea about a month ago and built the game in my spare time.

I think it is a bit more difficult compared to Tetris. You kind of have to get used to "think diagonally".

Maybe it can be a nice little challenge for you.

I'd be happy to receive some feedback. Thanks!
Overwhelmed hospitals is not a binary risk.

Vaccines are shown to reduce cases of serious symptoms and hospitalization. Yes, even if everyone is vaccinated is possible for hospitals to still be overwhelmed if infections spread too quickly (hence things like distancing still being important), but even in that case, you’d have less people needing hospital attention that are unable to get it.

The overall goal of our societies, as I see it, is returning to living our lives as normal and killing the fewest people in the process. Reducing hospitalization rates means that more exposure can safely happen before hospitals are at risk. When they come close to being overwhelmed, additional restrictions on gathering will probably need to be reemployed until the risk subsides again.

These risks are also very local (more local than state) and personal. So it’s perfectly reasonable for the pandemic to “be over” for some where the risk is low, yet not for some where the risk remains high.
If what I'm having is a "simulated experience," then where do "real experiences" exist?
>That, per definition, is a supernatural observation since we can’t touch the invisible laws.

The definition of supernatural is that which exists outside of the order of nature, not that which is only explicitly tangible. Natural laws are human-created abstractions which explain the observed behaviors of the natural world, which by definition makes them natural, not supernatural.
It's not just language. I doubt that you think it is like anything to be a rock. You do think that it is like something to be a person (or even a finger)! Those are two different states of existence, one with experiences/qualia (i.e. it is like something to be that thing) and one without. How do we explain the difference.

ps. interesting user name.

Stack ranking is not my cup of tea at all. But, yes, I'm kind of leaning against performance reviews as well. It's an open question in my mind. I appreciate that big companies might have a challenge on their hands, and I don't have a lot of answers, here. But in my experience, performance reviews have not added anything obviously positive to the workplace, and they're invariably a source of friction. Which seems willfully obtuse when a company has an attrition problem. And I say this as someone who is not considered a low performer.
I’m willing to bet that when developers are able to sell directly without the 30% add on, that it’ll be a short time before they start selling at the same price and taking the 30% for themselves.
> Overwatch - a great game - that was effectively abandoned because the original team heavily discouraged monetization.

I don't believe it's the team. Blizzard has a track record of abandoning perfectly good games (although I'll grant Overwatch was uniquely difficult to monetize).

SC2 is a great game, too. They even dabbled in paid story DLC with Nova's mission pack, which was cool, but then they fell back to only developing co-op commanders for people to grind co-op content with instead of making more cool story DLC. And they've even stopped making co-op commanders now (people probably got tired of grinding through the same handful of scenarios).

Diablo 3 had one (desperately needed) expansion and one class DLC, but since then have cycled through a carousel of "seasonal" content, with only cosmetics and some mechanical adjustments, no new gear.

Basically, they have these games that absolutely could be platforms for more ("healthy") things to sell and at the same time prolong the lifetime of their games, but for whatever reason they don't sustain investment in them. My hypothesis is it's because Hearthstone is better from a strict ROI perspective, but I don't know that for sure.

> I don't know how you maintain a game like Fortnite (or GTAIV) with just a $60 one time purchase.

Games like Hollow Knight or Minecraft that are one-time-purchases sustained further development through market saturation. Every free DLC increased the value proposition for people who hadn't purchased yet. In traditional marketing, you'd sell your game for X, realizing there's an audience out there that will only buy at X-10 (or whatever), so after you sell at X for a while you apply a discount to reach that audience too. What Minecraft and Hollow Knight have done is sort of the inverse of that (in addition to traditional discounts, at least in the case of Hollow Knight): increasing the value for the price so if the base game at $20 is a questionable deal, the base game + free DLC at $20 draws in people who were on the fence before. Even though the DLC is free, the company still makes money on it.

That said, those games don't incur server costs for the company. Once server costs get involved, people want higher ROI to offset them.

This is a cool project, and I love that you're looking into other dietary restrictions! Gluten and dairy substitutes would have been very useful to me starting out, but after nearly a decade I tend to make omissions rather than substitutions. I've seen others upthread mention that they prefer to find dishes that are naturally vegan rather than use substitutes.

What I (and, possibly, they) could really use would be something that would suggest an alternative recipe or a related dish that works better without substitution-- e.g, a similar recipe that doesn't rely on the meat or cheese for flavor, or which doesn't rely heavily on bread/flour/sugar/etc. as a base ingredient.

I expect it'd be more difficult to reliably identify similar recipes AND restrict the search to avoid some set of ingredients, but it would be a very useful resource for people looking to omit certain foods without resorting to (often expensive or unhealthy) substitutes.
> What I find fascinating about consciousness is that it seems to be bound to your location. But how and why? Why are you inside of your body and not in someone elses?

From what I can best tell, consciousness is a property or a set of simulated properties, I don't really know what it is and I guess we won't have good answers for it until we will be able to properly simulate something like a brain and have better brain theories to explain it.

But the world you find yourself is a simulation, and your body is simulated. Everything you consciously experience is simulated. This simulation is running inside your brain. Part of your brain is trying to explain its input so it makes models to predict its inputs. I think it learns a model of your body, and your mind, and how these thing relate to each other and how they relate to what you experience "out there".

> I love to think about stuff like this, but are those questions even answerable?

Yes. (I think so)
on a quadcopter or similar the useful metric is grams of thrust as measured instantaneously on a thrust stand vs watts consumed by the motor.

see users guide here for details.

I also used to worked at Amazon.

There are elements of the culture I miss. The focus on writing was great. Shipping things quickly that impact a lot of people is nice. It made up for a lot of the deficiencies, and it isn't universal (cough Google). Amazon tends to make the right tradeoffs with tech choices to enable this, not always, but most of the time.

I enjoyed working with principal and senior engineers at Amazon. I didn't meet a single PE that I didn't thoroughly respect and enjoy talking with. I miss the internal PE talks, and I wish they'd make them public.

Compensation is deeply personal, but once I broke 400k, I really didn't care too much one way or another, and Amazon's total compensation was never significantly less than competitors. It was about the work, impact, and people.
Both my parents worked for Burroughs and my father retired from Unisys 20 years ago. I grew up in the server rooms and accidentally pushed the big red emergency shutdown button once when I was about 6. I helped my mom debug COBOL code on our dining room table. I've been in IT for 30 years and it is always amazing to see how much has changed and yet how much hasn't. Thanks for the nostalgia trip.

T-Mobiles market cap is like 3% of Apple's. If there was ever margin to be made Apple could swoop in like it was nothing.
Thanks. I agree that today's profit-oriented organizations are generally unsuited to act out this kind of product-centric methodology. Maybe future nonprofits or DAOs or something could pull it off.

I've found that social class in non urban environments is orthogonal to taste.

District attorneys don't necessarily get paid well, but they are pretty high up in local social class.
> "Can this possibly help explain how I can merge consciousness with someone (or something) else?"

Wait, what? Why do you suppose that you can merge consciousness with someone (or something) else, can you elaborate on that? The split-brain patients are cases with presumably separate consciousnesses that are not merged and AFAIK never get merged, especially after corpus callosotomy which would make it physically impossible, wouldn't it?
We've reached the first point in recent history where we're really seeing products with actively anti-user features at scale. Coffe machines that only take proprietary coffe pods, printers that have DRM on ink cartriges, and more. These are all on a much smaller scale than a computing device that we use for a significant portion of our lives, both for management and entertainment.

Another comparison would be a car that can only drive to restaurants that agreed to give the car company 30% per customer that arrives in one of their cars, and there have to be fences around it to make sure you're not walking to the restaurant next door by foot.

I'm not sure I agree with "I should be able to sell anything with any anti-features I want" anymore to a certain extent, since it does affect such a large part of our lives, as general computing machines.
> It applies to everyone, including Apple

Which is false as Apple tracks you across apps without showing you this new prompt.

> That isn’t about Apple destroying anyone.

Could you elaborate on what are you implying here?

Are you saying Apple doesn’t damage anyone with this policy? It is obviously false.

Are you saying damaging competitors and building its own ads ecosystem is not Apple’s primary motivation here? It also seems false, as they build their own ad system, which tracks users.
Googling exactly "herpes covid" from my IP, gives 10/10 papers on the first page. On second page, I got 4 more papers, a paper disproving it, one reuters article about misuse of antivirals, and 4 articles about new drugs. This is fun.

Thinking now, I might have been in some kind of Google-bubble at that time, since I started my search with symptoms at first, and later I started making connections. So I guess Google decided I need to see a doctor :)
I also believe that staying long in that culture also changes your personality at a deeper level. You might start treating your personal life in a similar manner as well. So someone either exits or stays long enough to start believing in it.
It does have a doubly-linked list which can easily serve as a stack, though. And it has a heap which is a poor man's replacement for some uses of tree. I've found that I can get quite a bit farther with the built-in Go slices, maps, and lists than I thought.

But yeah. Now that generics are in, I do hope they add a handful of common collections.

Not all nomads are cheap / poor. I know there is a stereotype (probably well earned) about nomads. It's why you see low COL places being so popular (Thailand, Bali, Portugal, Mexico, etc). They get the most attention, but there's definitely folks who make good money and have interests in different regions/climates/activities. I can definitely see the appeal of Iceland. It's gorgeous natural landscape. I didn't get to see the northern lights while there, doing a six month stay might increase those chances tremendously versus flying over and crossing my fingers. I doubt we will see a huge flood to Iceland, but offering this kind of visa makes it easier for some higher value, longer term visitors. That's good for their economy and if they make it easy enough the administrative hurdles aren't that high, even better.
The choice needs to be independent of the rest of the stack. If Apple wants to make an option where you can lock your iPhone to only installing apps from Apple's store and taking it out of that mode requires a factory reset, that's fine, because the customer has a choice.

Tying that choice to the choice of hardware and operating system is anti-competitive.
I think that places like APAC are going to be a little bit under represented because of the timing. As an example, it's currently 9am on a Saturday in Sydney Australia.

In US it's still Friday and people are at work, e.g. it's currently 2pm on a Friday in the West Coast of the US
Interestingly, "ff 6 remaster date" gives the same results (for ff 2), but "ff six remaster date" works and returns results for ff 6.
Schengen is inconsequential, they just don't check your documents. They are in EEA, with agreement for free movement of goods, people, services and capital which is much more important.
Have to get well off the interstate.

I thought I would see some good stars going across Nevada but despite a hundred miles between towns there was always a brightly lit truck stop not far off. And like my sibling comments - nothing kills your night vision like oncoming headlights.

I was pulled over on a rural utah highway in the middle of the night once, leaning back on the hood of my car letting my eyes adjust, and when I finally started to see the fainter stars, I witnessed what I took to be something angelic, blinding white light flying right above me.

I was stunned for a moment but once the car passed from behind me I put it together that their brights bounced off a bat flying low above me.
I think that perfectionism is a downside and coined that “easy for you” as a better mode which everyone would operate in otherwise. But it’s hard to let go of these anxious feelings, so we stick to picky routines (because if you’re not confident, it is unwise to git push). Sorry that my message wasn’t clear enough in this part.

Personally I’m trying to care less when it is reasonable to do, but even the amount of options where to do that in common js stacks is overwhelming.
Carnies sell horses? That's a rather derogatory analogy. And I say that mostly because carnies don't sell horses. Perhaps you have them confused with another group of people? If so, consider rephrasing it in a less-offensive way. Carnies exist; they are real people with real lives. They are hard-working and usually have to deal with crowds, who can be in-your-face offensive, not online offensive. Compassion is key.
Good catch. Accounting for that brings the US up from currently 50.2% to 52.8%. It also brings California up from 11.75% to 12.86%. I updated my code above to account for that (having to fight the urge to refactor it to be more sensible)
Precovid pandemic, yes. Coffee shops, music gigs, gaming at the local gaming cyber cafes, board games at semi local shop, meetups for coding, meetups for electronics.

PostCovid, no, occasionally I'll go out to a meal by myself, but lots of places closed or are empty.
You would have been PIPed and sacked in April.
