> To build a sustainable operating model that enables us to delight and improve Googler well-being over time, we are accelerating our strategy to move some work to our Support hubs and vendors and are restructuring our operations to create further efficiencies

To delight? And improve Googler well-being over time?

...get me a bucket, the corporate speak is making me nauseous. Hell, even just the word Googler - I'd say it's the worst, but well, Facebook has Metamates, so they win this one.
It was earlier, it must just be losing steam compared to the more rapidly rising ones above it, no conspiracy.
My only issue (albeit minor) with KeePassXC is that I can't drag'n'drop data (eg. username or password) from entry list to a browser control. It works perfectly in KeePass.
Totally! Simplicity is core to the rest of the others in the list.

The other weird one is finance near the bottom. Typical engineering bubble style thinking... make sure your solution actually provides value and that people will pay for it! Otherwise you're wasting your time solving the wrong problem! The importance of that cant be understated!(unless your goal isn't to provide value of course)
As per the video https://youtu.be/If61baWF4GE), above and beyond the geopolitical reasons for Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the main motive is economical:

1. Russia is in effect a petrostate; it lives and dies by its exports of natural gas and oil.

2. Immense fields of underwater natural gas and oil were discovered in 2012 in the Crimea maritime exclusive economic zone.

3. If Crimea stays with Ukraine, it lets Ukraine become a new petrostate and challenge Russia (take over its European customers), which to Russia is an existential threat. Hence the annexation of Crimea in 2014: not only for Sevastopol and access to the Mediterranean, but to exploit the oil fields (and/or prevent Ukraine from exploiting them).

4. But the supply of 80% of the fresh water to Crimea comes from a canal [0] that connects it to the Dnieper river in Ukraine; after the annexation, Ukraine shut the canal down, effectively thirsting Crimea to death.

5. If Russia wants to stay in Crimea (which it believes is necessary for its own survival), it needs to reopen that canal, and therefore control at least the southern part of Ukraine and possibly its whole Mediterranean coastline.

(It's not just about the canal, but the canal is a very big part of it.)

"don't write anything in an email you don't want to see in a NYT headline"

If I got something like that, I sure want to tell the NYT...
Thank you, I didn't know that you can set a cookie if it's deanonymized. It does make a lot of sense.
I was a math major in college. Now, math is not exactly stock car racing, or lion taming, but I never would have conceived of doing business with my life. It was obviously way dull and the only people I knew around the dorm who majored in it were dopes who were coasting through college and didn't know what else to do. (Everybody sees, right, that I am setting up to be proved wrong?)

Twenty years later I got a subscription to the New Yorker and they ran a regular business column (https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/james-surowiecki) . Almost every one was super interesting. Decision making under uncertainty, leveraged buyouts, and all kinds of stuff that was worth thinking about.

These days, someone here turned me on to Matt Levine's newsletter (https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/authors/ARbTQlRLRjE/matthe...). I never thought that finance could regularly be laugh out loud fun. Who knew?

I'm a college professor. I sometimes tell the Business folks that they could do with a lesson in marketing. They smile, a little, and change the subject. I think they are so flooded with folks that it is not really of interest. Too bad.
Curious, why did you switch from BitWarden? It’s usually the other way around (though personally I never felt the need to switch from KPXC).
Definitely not and it will hit us big time imho. We are one freak incident away from abandoning npm/pypi completely and completely re-thinking how libraries are being done/used.

Yes, this is a great idea, and something I have been thinking about. A clear risk of our site right now is decision fatigue. Some users we have spoken about wanting to be guided through their purchasing journey. I think you're right mass reviews alone won't do this.

We likely would use a partner like Affirm for financing. We don't want to emphasize it too heavily, but we do see it as an important tool in purchasing furniture.
People who choose the narrative of who the model is are thought leaders like journalists, academics and politicians. They are narrative and process oriented, not outcome oriented. This means that when a process started with good intentions fails horribly (like Germany's decarbonation) they do not change opinions - Germany tried to do the right thing (even if it was a risky bet without precedent) so it's blameless. There is no course correction - the process was correct wasn't it ?

Furthermore, they have entrenched this mode of functioning in Western societies, who have become process not outcome oriented.

People interested in hacking and startups are probably among the most outcome oriented, so have trouble understanding how this process oriented mindset without course correction can exist.
Definitely agree. I think some people find it controversial these days with agile etc but i think making prototypes is a severely underrated skill and practice. Not all problems are obviously tractable from the outset by pure analysis. Sometimes you need to build something out of cardboard and rubber bands (figuratively) to see if it will work. Was a topic I wrote an essay about some time back (https://www.machow.ski/posts/galls-law-and-prototype-driven-...).

In better companies, where legal blocks marketing from pulling stuff like that, this is not necesarry.
Agreed. Talking to a few lawyers until you find a compassionate one is not a commitment. You can hear what he or she has to say then decide after you have more information.
It may not really be all that different between Tesla and Mercedes. The conditions that Mercedes is releasing this under sound like they will give them plenty of room to say "not covered" and need lawyers involved. Similarly, if you're using Tesla's summon feature and it drives into something, you can opt to get lawyers involved. The main difference is what these companies are telling you upfront; Mercedes seems to be saying something to the effect of "don't worry," and Tesla is telling you that you must pay attention.
That piece says

> Aronofsky bought the rights to “Perfect Blue” to use one of its scenes for his “Requiem for a Dream” (2000)

which TFA actively denies.

It's actually puzzling how Aronofsky went back to Perfect Blue, after being caught effectively plagiarising it once already and likely knowing that Kon, beyond the formal politeness typical of the Japanese, wasn't really happy about it. It's like he was daring to be sued.

Both directors don't come out of this particularly well - Kon for being a frustrated but ultimately weak character, Aronofsky for achieving success with fundamentally plagiarized work.

If signal processing and matrix algoritms are your thing, you should (and probably would) be using Matlab. Most statisticians don't really do much of that, what they mostly do is data management and try to mold their tables in some form accepted by an existing R package (or even Stata). As far as I remember, Matlab was pretty horrible for data munging, even worse than R for anything non-numerical. But my Matlab experience is also almost 2 decades old, so I don't know if it's any better today.
The attitude. The "micro" of microservices belies a religious zeal that more and smaller services is an unmitigated awesome thing and we should always strive for more of it. "Services" is for people who think it is a necessary evil, to be deployed under the right circumstances.
Not the grandparent. Matlab is much simpler for matrices than R, approaching Python's numpy is ease of use (and very reminiscent of Fortran and Julia).
I was expecting a rant, but the OP's article is actually very thoughtful. He definitely knows what he's talking about.

The thing about R, for me and many others, is that it's very much an everyday grind language. Especially with Rstudio, its natural domain is as one of "notebook" languages like python, julia, matlab, and mathematica but with a more clear focus towards the tasks of data-analysis. I just tell the BI-tool people that R is excel on 'roids.

R frustrates me a lot, however. But I think the frustration comes out of the fact that when I am using R and get stuck, I am always in the middle of doing something that I need to get done and I don't feel like diving into a long "vignette". Moreover, the documentation is usually too terse and generalized for me to just understand it immediately. Even though I've been using R for years (albeit in fits and starts rather than continuously), there are things about it that I've just never picked up-- I just DON'T KNOW (or care) what F S3 and S4 mean. Unlike the OP, who clearly knows more R than myself, I grit my teeth when I am looking at docs and see the "..." in the arg list.

I suspect that this is part of the heritage from R's beginnings. I once tried to read John Chamber's book but found the presentation complete ass-backwards and impractical for my immediate needs. The Tidyverse has been great, it's far more consistent and ggplot is a kick-ass tool to have in your box. The drawback is that it makes Base-R seem really alien and if you want to be good at R, you have to know more than just the Tidyverse, IMHO.
Have you tried KeePassDX?
I had this same experience the last marketing email they sent. If they dark pattern the unsubscribe flow, I report them as spam.

You're not reaching my inbox one way or the other. May as well have a pleasant unsubscribe flow so it doesn't impact your spam rating
This might have been 2.6 already but I find the new flat interface kinda meh. Sure, not everyone was happy with the old 2.4 "native windows 95" look but with the new one everything just feels too big, like a mobile app on the desktop :(
They usually use different email addresses to send spam and to send important stuff.
The main issue I've had is speed. As soon as you have problems that can't be vectorized, models that take 30 hours to run in R take 30 minutes in python.
I'm going to point out that it's only because this is HN and someone here is much more likely to be able to cause PR problems than the average customer. Awesome companies don't harangue people who are already paying them and then make it harder than clicking "unsubscribe" to put a stop to it. I don't think anybody at Cloudflare is terrified that somebody's scorned mistress could wreak her revenge by punching their e-mail into an insecure Unsubscribe box and thus delaying their knowledge of having access to a new beta.
Please try not to use weasel phrases like "Sorry you are having difficulty..." The poster clearly articulated the very real technical problems they are having with your broken unsubscribe process, doing your debugging work for you, and the phrasing of your response implies that the fault lies with the user. I don't think this was intentional weasel-speak on your part, but do please try to be aware of your audience.

I'm not aware of OVH having jacked up prices recently at all (I have services with their SoYouStart and Kimsufi brands, and I'm sure such an occurrence would have started a bun-fight on the LET forums), at least some providers have.

The big one (that did cause considerable consternation) was Hetzner some weeks ago, though they are based in Germany not France. See https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/176802/hetzner-price-incre... for much complaining about that one.

As the problems causing price increases for power continue, I expect many cheap providers (who have very low margins so can't afford not to pass on significant increases in power costs), and larger outfits with budget lines, will have to change prices soon or fail.

You're lucky this person cares. If there's not an easy unsubscribe I just report it as spam, and hope enough other people do the same that the firm becomes untrusted.

Looking forward to a follow-up on how this happened.
I don't see how R specifically addresses the reproducibility problem, It's been around for almost 30 years and before its recent rise in popularity, lots of science was done in C, perl, fortran etc. Not to mention that actual dependency versioning is pretty poor. I struggle to run other people's R code after about 6 months (especially if they used the tidyverse as it pulls in hundreds of unstable dependencies) and nobody records what package versions are used and functions are seemingly deprecated every week.
That sounds like a magical company.
> Dark pattern one: You must login to manage your marketing preferences. There's no security related emails here, so this is completely unnecessary.

Did you just give your credentials to a website linked from a spam email?
Is that because the right answer depends on a multitude of things (ie neither is always better).

The problem you're trying to solve, the size/expertise of your team, scale, customer expectations, legacy integrations.
For insider attacks auditing is really critical. At some level there will always have to be human beings with superuser access. But if every admin access and action is logged, audited and tied to a specific person then it becomes very hard to abuse that access without getting caught.
Windows source isn't all that hard to see. I know they've made it available to some universities and large customers also can get access.

This is awesome. So, smart companies have monitoring for their brand keywords across key websites/web and jump in to respond the nip the bud before things go bad.

> Or is there an acceptable level in the US that's different to Japan, perhaps?

Or more simply, suing cross-countries in such a complicated field as copyright, is extremely hard. In many cases, tbf, this goes both ways - which is why the US is always very keen to "harmonize" copyright laws whenever they are discussing trade deals. But the imbalance in economic resources typically means richer players in the US have a degree of recourse that non-US players will almost never get.

Here’s a fun little story that’s stuck with me for years because it demonstrates this in a very hacker way.

(Forgive the lack of specificities, I tell this as a parable)

A fancy new office tower was opening downtown. Around this time, office space was at a premium so they soon sold out all their floorspace, and the project was considered quite successful except for one small problem; the architect seems to have installed slow elevators.

Tenants began to complain that the ride up to their high, and very expensive, offices was taking too long. These elevators were stupidly slow.

The building management frantically called around the big elevator companies, getting motors upgraded as fast as possible, but the complaints kept coming and in the end no one could quote anything less than $100mil to structurally alter the building to house bigger motors and more shafts.

Then one day an independent construction contractor showed up who offered to do a retrofit to fix the issue for only $10mil. The desperate building management decided to try it.

So the guy took $500k of the money to buy and install a bunch of mirrors in the elevator booths which had been sombre (and expensively) wood-panelled. Sure enough, the complaints stopped coming. (And the contractor got a $9.5mil payday)

The problem wasn’t that the elevators were slow. It’s that people got bored in them (in a world before smartphones). And what do people never get bored of doing? Looking at themselves in the mirror.

Of course, it’s annoying to save the equivalent of 95% of the cost but not see any of that money. You just had to deal with budget cuts that really should have killed any solution. Still a cool party trick I guess.
Severe reaction was acquiring POTS and being unable to engage in light to strenuous activity for around 9 months.

This was after the second shot. Regardless of previous infection, shouldn't the reaction to a previous dosage be enough to determine that maybe increasing the dosage is not a good idea?

And is natural immunity not enough of a preventative measure? Natural immunity has been proven to be more robust than vaccine acquired immunity, with natural immunity plus one shot being touted as superior to simply being double or even triple jabbed. Of course many of the more controversial doctors have been saying that risk of adverse effects increase 4-fold if you have previously been exposed to the virus. But that's not acceptable to discuss.

> If she is unable to take needed preventative measures wouldn't it be more reasonable if they hired someone who can?

When staffing shortages regularly kill people, I hate to even dignify this with a response.

> Dark pattern one: You must login to manage your marketing preferences. There's no security related emails here, so this is completely unnecessary.

This may be in violation of US law:

> You can’t charge a fee, require the recipient to give you any personally identifying information beyond an email address, or make the recipient take any step other than sending a reply email or visiting a single page on an Internet website as a condition for honoring an opt-out request.

I wonder if requiring a login means that additional personal information is sent, or that the recipient must perform additional steps other than visiting a single page.

> I understand it's frustrating trying to use a language you don't understand. And instead of reading the language manual you go on rambling.

I'd agree with this assessment. If you start doing R and it feels weird to you then -- in my opinion -- you're probably in the wrong place. Meanwhile, for the cognoscenti -- the researcher, the statistician -- R behaves just as you'd expect. That is the draw -- a language developed around statistics.

R is not a great computing environment for computer science. E.g. writing iterative algorithms. Almost everything worth a damn in R is written in C++ and then FFId in. Those who do not want to use C++ can write their algorithms in Python or Julia -- and they often do. Arguably the defacto for computing oriented machine learning is Python, not R.
It's poorly written, but... mislead readers into thinking _what_? That Germany has its own special kilometers (or possibly hours?)

I think it's just bad editing.

SPSS was originally created for social scientists and psychologists. It allows people who usually don't have really a clue what they are doing, to create something that looks like science. Later on it was marketed as a predictive analytics suite for business minded people.

From time to time, I still have to use SPSS. Again and again I'm flabberghasted how bad this overpriced piece of software is.
> I’d like to know how much money really was saved by not allowing the UPSes to be cut off.

I don't think this was a cost-cutting measure. Instead, (automatic) cut-off devices are also systems that can fail. And if there is such a centralized device, it can nullify the hard work of 4 redundant power supplies if it "decides" to malfunction one day. So, this was a SPOF-cutting measure. I still think that having 4 separate switches for 4 power supplies is not so wrong. Firefighters anyway wrote that the electrical room had a door at 400C and observed 1-meter arcs, so they had to ask the electrical company to cut the power from their side for the sake of safety anyway.
>.loc() anyone?

What is wrong with .loc, in your view? Genuine question. I used to dislike it but I've been using pandas for a while and I've gotten comfortable with it, and I've forgotten the reasons I used to dislike it.
