If the goal is for that content to make netflix indispensible, I feel like it's a bad strategy to make customers accustomed to shows canceling after 2 seasons. It commoditizes the shows, so customers will be happy to switch platforms if/when their favorite shows go out and another platform has a shiny new show.

HackerRank/WorthIT didn't dispute the counternotice (AFAICT), but instead they re-filed the same DMCA notice again, four months later. I think the repo owner gave up at that point.

Automation is certainly a big thing, but we still need people to care for the elderly, drive buses, clean public spaces, paint buildings, work on roads, take garbage, deliver goods, and so on. Some societies, such as Japan, are banking on automation filling these gaps but the affects of low birth rates will be felt long before it can take over completely.
I use Google Workspace. Works well and zero complaints here. My website is also a Google sites site now - very basic placeholder but it worked well and was easy to configure with SSL etc.

I ran Office 365 for a year, this was pretty good but I got fed up of having separate email clients.

I used to use POP3 and IMAP for emails with Gmail picking them up. This caused a few issues with emails being marked incorrectly as spam so I ended up moving to a better solution. For the sake of a few $ / month it's a no brainer to use Google Workspace for me these days.

Streaming services should abandon monthly subscription paying method and let me pay just for time I actually spend on consuming their products. It is ridiculous to pay multiple streaming services for content that I consume rarely.

I'm able to watch 5 feature films in month, which means approximately one film from one streaming service (HBO, Netflix, Apple, Disney...). Together it is around 55 USD (11 USD per feature film) in my country. Not to mention that about half o films I have in my watch list are not in streaming services.

Sorry, that is not acceptable. It is actually stupid business model. If that films are not in local cinemas around, I'm not able to watch them legally.

All of my mobile devices doesn't really support JS so I can not even input my HN's password to there without a PC.

Also I do not believe all of my e-mails which has some accounts with some values on it are still working.

I've built my new home few years ago, so airtight according to local norms (France) and with proper ventilation, as computed in the project: IME the article have a small point in the sense that:

- there is much more dust in wood-frame + glass wool homes than in classic masonry ones, so while formally anything is done as it should there are still a bit too much particles of I-do-not-know-what. So far (5y) I experience no health issue though, no specific sign of even little suffering, just noticing that I've clean around the double dust than the ancient home, perhaps people who already have respiratory issue might suffer;

- even if formally calculated as it should I feel the need of a little bit more ventilation than the computed one. Air quality remain constant, so for instance in the bedroom I do not experience "morning poor air" that's a normal thing in classic houses, similarly if I hold a party perceived air quality stay essentially the same BUT when I'm outside I feel a better air, with a different significant enough to think that few m³/h would be far better.

Beside that the article probably see restored houses, so houses where changes are constrained by something preexisting and compromises became a must, where much of the work was done "on experience and cheapness basis" not on seriously computed design fueled also by customers who do not understand much the tech. IME the overall quality of new home is still superior to the classic one, far lower humidity, far more constant climate matter.
Not sure, maybe lifespan estimates based on current behavior could be handy. Eg are you a smoker? Are you regularly physically active? What's your race, occupation, etc?

I think chronic conditions are also hard to plan for in your head, so some preset stats-based options for medical costs could be helpful.

No one intuitively imagines it'll happen to them but something like 60% of 65yo+ adults managed 2 or more chronic conditions, which are conditions like heart disease, diabetes, strokes, and of course cancer. It's more likely than you think. Stuff like cancer won't just kill you sooner, it'll bleed you dry towards the end of your life as you attempt all manner of surgeries and treatments to delay the end.

I have freelanced for about 15 years. I normally have multiple customers and projects simultaneously. I rarely manage other programmers so I’m only responsible for my own productivity. My customers know I have other jobs, they have to trust me that I don’t disclose their secrets or work for a competitor. It’s never presented a problem.

With my customers I am continuously negotiating goals, milestones, expectations, costs, and risks. I want my customers to understand what they are paying for and what I am committing to. As much as possible I try to charge for deliverables rather than for my time, but sometimes customers prefer to pay by the hour, or on a retainer. However we work that out I try to always make sure my customer and I are clear about what they expect from me and how much time that will take and what it will cost. That comes down to communication, and generally we iterate on their goals.

Measuring productivity is a hard problem, and even harder for creative people who may have large variations in their own productivity over time, and aren’t directly comparable to other individuals. I would start with setting clear goals and measurable deliverables and then getting the employee to commit to those. That means breaking the work down into measurable pieces, which will happen one way or another, so it’s probably best to do that work up front so no one gets surprised.

Communication is something you can set clear expectations about. For example I commit to my customers that I will answer routine emails the same day, and urgent emails or phone calls immediately. I ask my customers to respect my time and if everything turns into an emergency with them we’ll have to talk about that.

You should have some idea of what fair pay or market rate looks like for the people you employ. Personally I don’t believe it’s fair to pay people less because of where they live — everyone should get paid according to the value they add, whether they live in London or Bangalore. If you don’t pay people enough they will take on other jobs, or look for a job elsewhere.

I would not sign a contract that obliged me to inform my employer or a customer about other work. Sometimes issues of competition and intellectual property come into play. If someone is inclined to act unethically or break the law a contract clause isn’t likely to stop them. If you ask employees to agree to inform you of outside work, what do you agree to in return? Do you inform your employees about all of your customers? How much the company gets paid by customers? Whether the founders have other business commitments?

Bottom line is you pay people for their work, period. You can’t expect loyalty or openness or trust, especially if it’s one-way in the company’s favor. People are loyal to employers who treat them well. They trust employers who trust them and treat them with respect. How open someone is with their employer is really up to them — they don’t owe that to their job.
Moving from Australia to UK, i was amused (and disgusted) by the difference between Marmite in both the countries.

In Australia, Marmite has the same non-runny consistency as Vegemite, and tastes roughly the same but just more mild. Coming to the UK I was really weirded out by the runny, gloopy, tar-like consistency of Marmite. The taste is also quite different.
Building a house within a house would also add a lot of soundproofing. I wonder if anyone has studied whether people like or dislike not being able to hear what is going on outside the house. Seems like there would be some safety issues, like you can't hear someone outside calling for help and can't hear how intense a storm is or if a car/truck drives up, but on the good side you also can't hear the neighbors lawn mower and wood chipper. Some people may like feeling connected audibly to the outside world and feel more isolated if they can't hear nature while others may like that it makes the outside world go away. It may not be possible to hear wind chimes. An emergency siren may be difficult to hear, though emergency sirens are not used much any more in the USA, except near nuclear power plants and such. Maybe that needs to change with climate change. In fact, changing climate may need to be part of the calculation on how houses are built (not just increased wind resistance but also estimates of how warm/cold the area will be year round in the future.) It would be great if houses could be 3D printed so people are not limited by increased costs due to homebuilders not upgrading their skills. House design may need to change radically on the East Coast (Nor'easters's) and in Tornado Alley and on the South coast (hurricanes).

>Reading elsewhere in the thread it looks like they have been relying on firms in Pakistan and elsewhere to scour the internet for strings that appear in Hacker Rank and submit DMCA takedowns when they find these strings elsewhere.

Who ever thought this was a good idea? Those firms and the "monkeys" they hire have an incentive to send takedowns everywhere to make it look like they are "doing something".

But since there are no consequences for sending them to the wrong places, I guess they don't care much.

I don't care as long as I have the results delivered. I cannot imagine myself doing just a single development project during the week. Sometimes you absolutely have to switch contexts and think of a completely different task, perhaps in a different language/framework. I actually encourage that in a similar way Google encouraged people to work on their personal projects back in the day.

I share my password with my family (yes, I am paying the family plan). My old folks still watching Netflix from time to time is the only reason I have not cancelled yet - there's very little new quality content coming out as compared to Netflix's "golden age" (Marco Polo, the first few seasons of House of Cards, ...), much of the new content seems to be made solely to tick checkboxes with the social justice crowd, and it's prices keep climbing.

By contrast, I thought it's really well presented. It is a permanent license, only the patches are stopping after a year. I was even hoping by myself they have the good sense to offer optional auto-renewal.

The larger picture is, selling software somehow is always awkward. Given that, these folks have hit a near optimum, imo. And it's better to pay for a good tool than to find a good tool only to see the vendor go out of business. And that has happened plenty of times.
Every step in a project needs to go through long approval/permitting processes that cost a lot of time and money. This ignores the high cost of labor/materials in California.

What a cool project, is there a performance comparison wrt to other solutions?
It is commonsense; all decisions are not in the same category.

If you need specific references, Nassim Taleb's books are a good place to start. His book The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable divides events into two categories; Extremistan and Mediocristan. Events/Decisions in the former can have extreme unpredictable non-linear effects while those in the latter are more sedate and have predictable cumulative effects. An example is the earning capacity of A Dentist (steady regular income with a predictable statistical model i.e. Mediocristan) vs. A Venture Capitalist (unpredictable, large risks, all his bets might fail or one may become a unicorn i.e. Extremistan).

For a comprehensive study of decision-making, see the excellent Thinking and Deciding by Jonathan Baron.

Oh yeah, absolutely. I think a big part of the problem is Google's dominant position essentially puts them in an impossible uphill battle against an entire industry attempting to game their algorithms.

The solution to this problem is search engine diversity. If you have multiple search engines with incompatible algorithms and disparate views on quality, then even if you manage to game one of the algorithms effectively, that search engine will just lose popularity and your SEO will be less useful. The winning strategy becomes to attempt to SEO against multiple contradictory algorithms, which is something that will never be as successful as manipulating Google alone.
Having 32 bit pointers in WASM does not mean that the JIT emits 32 bit code. 64 bit pointers always are a performance degradation, as they use up more space, it can just be negligible. 64 bit x86 most of the time being faster has nothing to do with pointer width but with more with having more registers, a better calling convention and a minimum of SSE2.
This is also the reason why the x32 ABI is faster than regular x86-64.

The only advantage of 64 bit pointers is that you can have a bigger address space than 4GB.
Ask HN: Nobody versions their work files?
Hi everyone,

Just wondering what's your experience with people (colleagues or clients) sending you files at work; I've noticed no ones ever versions their files ever and keep the same filename over and over. For example for video task A they'll keep sending you A.mp4 forever, expecting you to never try to organize the files sent.

Versioning is a pretty simple organization rule though. Keep the same filename beginning, add some variations and end with vX. vX > xY means X was created after Y. It doesn't matter if X grows to 100, at least it'll only be increasing in time. Do not ever send a "vFINAL" it is NEVER final !

"A fixed mistake v5.mp4" is always going to be more recent than "A new blue background v2.mp4". I can tell you exactly "please fix that text at timecode 00:00:12:24 in A v9.mp4" and "I liked what you did in the previous version A v6.mp4 let's bring it back" instead of spending half an hour scrambling through old files and taking screenshots.

Those are pretty basic rules, which no ones follows, no ones knows about, even creative workers who deal with media file every day don't think about doing that. But I've seen this done in big teams of video editors who come up with common rules to work together though, they simply wouldn't do this by themselves if the other person doesn't ask for it.

From my experience, even in my personal work (not sending anything to any client), doing versioning is super helpful. So even before having any client it seems like basic workflow hygiene. But working with more and more people I find that no ones does that. Any idea why ?

http://www.railfaneurope.net/tgv/images/construction/vdcavig... shows a part of TGV track being lifted into place. TGV is cheap high-speed track, particularly if one is willing to leverage the experience the French have built. That seems to be for a bridge, so not cheap, but the width ought to match the usual track width.

Would that fit in a road median? It seems implausible.

If not, then it's a fair assumption that building something narrower will add to the cost. The French didn't spend extra to build wider than optimal tracks, after all.

EDIT: I found http://www.railfaneurope.net/tgv/track.html and… wow.

> The desiderata listed above are primarily concerned with lowering the "recurring costs", but the "one-time costs" are also a significant consideration if one is only using the mathematics from the given field X on a casual basis rather than a full-time one.

I think this is important and applies well to programming languages. Many programming techniques and styles can be extremely powerful when continuously working in the area whereas just jumping in they can be totally maddening. Sometimes this sort of thing builds up a cognitive wall to newcomers. It has its uses, but it's frustrating when you're one of those casual users having to deal with the clever ideas in the codebase.
