Innovation here is higher-risk product discovery - the design of new mechanisms to extract value with low assurance that things will actually work well. The emphasis here is that managing innovation is explicitly about managing risk - methodically considering and communicating risk to stakeholders, "failing gracefully and fast". Egger from SAP references assessing budding products in terms of "desirability, feasibility, viability", which is a design thinking thing [0]. A win an innovation program is when you don't over commit to risk. You put some resources into a program, at some phase assess risk per some rubric, and go on the the next stage or not.

He makes the point that in spite of having an innovation function, you want an innovation culture:
"But what you really want to do is not have an innovation team. You just want to have people who are focused on willing difficult projects into existence, and de-risking those projects. And so in an ideal world, what a company, personally, what I believe it should strive towards is help the bigger organization to get good at product discovery themselves, and not lead innovation or be the “innovation office”, but rather then be the steward who helps to incorporate new methodologies and help them to get better at de-risking. "

Would you agree that 1795 was in the 1700s?
Wouldn't that be more reason to push back against this?

There's an implicit assumption that more sessions -> more security. I've yet to find evidence this session inflation is doing anything beyond making companies feel more secure.

Same goes for a lot of other things related to interviewing. If there's no clear evidence, it should be treated as the bread and circuses it is.

Just carry a Tesla Powerwall for your building. You could fit in the space you save by not needing keys!
Maybe we could organize a discussion panel with genuinely interested SAP leaders?

Something like... "what SAP sees as innovative vs. the products we have to use today"

and try to find some middle ground?
Sure - anything that's basically generated dynamically off the database structure will work well, although you can also get auto-rest generators that would have a similar productivity effect.
This is all nice, but you're not answering the freaking question. I'm tired of this line of reasoning in here. Someone asks something specific, and then everybody jumps in to tell his/her story which while informative, doesn't solve the initial issue.

Please, for fuck's sake. Stay on the topic.
Hi Vasa,

Hope you are having a great Tuesday and hope all is well! My name is flerchin, I am a technical recruiter for Amazon Web Services (AWS) and am hiring for Software Engineers looking for 100% fully remote roles. I’m reaching out because your experience and development background intrigued me and are in line with what we are looking for to help continue to build AWS. Especially your recent work would complement the AWS teams here and I know they would be interested in speaking to you.
I'm sure you're aware, but if not, Fastmail trains a spam filter based on your email[0], and after you train it, it -does- get better. It just takes time. I haven't had my address for as long as you (only 15 years or so), but I have been just as nonchalant about sharing it openly. I get plenty of spam, but it's all sorted automatically now, and I don't miss Gmail.

"Maslow's hierarchy of needs considering the wide picture of house prices, home ownership and the wider changes seen in UK society."

What do you mean by that? I cannot immediately see how house prices and home ownership issues drive diminishing banking privacy .
No, I want processes, agreements, and ideas, documented. Slack, Zoom and other tools make this easier.

As someone who had to train many junior employees, having a record trail is the best answer to the question “why the hell did we do this in the first place?”.
Sure but this is for citizens where I'm guessing OP was on a working visa.
You would make multiple form, and track state on the server side (user createdvempty/wip loan, user added assets, user reviewed and confirm loan). Probably share state between client and server via a session token (cookie). Optionally share some state via REST - eg loan ID and asset IDs in path).

That said - complex forms is a typical example of when you might want to move from a web "page" to an "app".

Are you referring to cannabis or to alcohol in this statement?
I have no .. horse in this race, but I think I understand a point of disagreement in this discussion. You say:

> I have actually quoted from Pliny, precisely because he says that they were not used interchangeably. I cannot see how one can interpret it otherwise.

I believe the claim is that Pliny says that many people use the word "buffalo" to refer to both buffalo and bison (meaning, what other people call "bison"). 'jrumbut refers to precisely this as the words being used "interchangeably". You do not, using in part the following argument:

> A Roman or Greek who did not know the word "bison" could not interchange them.

I think this is an individual-based "interchangeable", where you say that an individual interchanges two words if, I guess, they use both words to mean the same thing. Your parent, however, refers to population-level interchangeable where if some people refer to a thing with one word and other people with another, then they are interchangeable.

For example, I think one would say that "eggplant" and "aubergine" are interchangeable even if no individual uses both words.
I think anyone doing C++ and wanting performance should start using OpenMP immediately. It's really easy to use without changing much code. In some cases it's just adding some pragmas.

Once you wring out the easy parallel parts you'll probably be facing the slow algorithms that have poor time complexity. That's when the real work begins. Reducing time complexity often requires some good data structures and/or fancy algorithms.

This is all I was trying to convey. Yes, it's not getting as much love and care as it deserves.
No, each web site has its own public/private key pair, they're just derived from the same original seed (plus scoping information like the user and site IDs). You can't determine if two different users are using the same identifier, although you can determine if they're using hardware tokens from the same manufacturer and batch. U2F's mechanism to check the token is from a "safe" manufacturer provides some information about the token, but not its exact serial number or other unique ID.
Nope.

Why? You'll spend a huge time of your life working, why is it not worth it to build relationships? You don't have to meet them in your free time to consider them friends.
I think it's best to be aware of the differences, but not overly pedantic about it. If you legitimately don't know what people mean, then ask, but otherwise just accept that people are sometimes a bit unclear about it. I know the difference between all these things, but I'll often mix up terminology as well.

> How does this prove Data security?

You're right, that by itself doesn't prove data security. But what we try to do is follow the example of other privacy-first Google alternatives like DDG, Signal, and try to structure our organization/processes/code in a similar way.

Not quite a white paper, but I feel https://ente.io/architecture/ covers the practical aspects of what we do in a human readable way (we wanted this page to be understandable by people with a non-cryptographic background, I'm just mentioning the intended audience, a few of our customers have reached out to us and have mentioned they found it useful too).

Most of the financial system is nothing more than money laundering for cartels and corrupt oligarchs. We need to walk away from the brick and mortar banking institutions.
I’m tired of these policies being framed as left wing progressive. If they were progressive then the middle class wouldn’t have left, because progressive policies are designed to bring the poor into the middle class - not create the inequality extremities noted in the article.

A wonderful article … Thanks!
I’ve found that the more people you throw at a candidate the higher the chances that _someone_ is going to find _something_ they don’t like about him/her and burn them in the end, especially when approvals have to be unanimous. I’ve seen engineers give glowing praise for one particular candidate but they got passed on because they made some comment about disliking scrum/agile/jira and that just rubbed the 2nd project manager they interviewed with the wrong way.
What’s the runtime complexity of Knuth’s solution vs the script solution?
Accessibility is a legal requirement for front-end development in a large number of countries around the world (including the US), so it’s good to get a baseline understanding in early.
Did it come and "go", though? A lot of that money was earmarked for local and state government programs, and at least from what I'm seeing, a lot of those projects haven't even taken place yet. Our local city hall, for example, is still trying to spend some of the money, which they will be reimbursed for after the projects are complete.
I once read an article where a flying stake was used as an airborne delivery mechanism to plant these very expensive and hard-to-procure tree seeds.

I do do believe that to be a useful delivery mechanism for that type of seeds.

This method effectively deals with going underground, securing constant moisture, and protection against birds and other critters.

Too bad that I haven’t seen any followup to that approach.
I agree, scaling support is a hard problem. But Google has set an extremely low bar, they've just given up, and they can just blatantly do that, because of their effective monopoly/duopoly.

I'm sure we (if not us specifically, some other project like us) can do better.
Kids are absolute sponges. I've got my three year old using a dozen or so different tools based on need (different screw drivers, wrenches aka spanners, and sockets). Actual tools that adults use, not the playset plastic variety. It's wild.
Fair point.

It's true that in my case, one of the first things I did was set up DNS. My lab also has a public domain name that I manage through Cloudflare, which also gives me easy SSL [0] for my services.

What was the extremely harsh correction to the high inflation of the 1970s and 1980s. I don’t recall more than a minor recession in the 1990s. Perhaps you’re from a different reality than me?
This looks super cool!
Thank you for sharing.
Fairly easily. Personally by this point I'd have long resorted to Perl, so the the usage of 'tr' and 'sed' in other than the most trivial ways aren't something that I'm very familiar with. But here's how I parse it without looking at man:

1. We're substituting characters and we're looking for is all word characters, and what we replace with is a newline. That doesn't seem terribly useful at a first glance, so either -c or -s is probably a negation. So this probably splits by words, producing newline separated words.

2. Change A-Z into a-z, that's obviously uppercase to lowercase. Confirms that text is what we're working with.

3. Sort alphabetically.

4. Remove duplicates and count.

5. Sort numerically.

6. Not entirely sure what 'sed ${N}q` does.

So yeah, I can get most of the way there without looking at the manual at all, making the reasonable guess that it results in a list of words sorted by frequency. My main point of confusion would be with sed, because it's hard to search manuals for the meaning of 'q' and I'd have used 'head' instead. Looking up what's the deal with 'tr' is about 5 seconds.

Show HN: CoinCode.Live, cryptocurrency projects code activity monitoring
There are different factors to consider when investing in a crypto project such as market cap, price volatility, etc. Many sources already provide this information, but what if you want to know about a project’s development activity and the people behind it? Your only option is to dig into Github, but Github is not optimized for this job. That is why we started https://coincode.live.

Coincide Live is a perfect tool for non-technical investors to quickly gain insight into the development and technical information of crypto projects. We are launching the Alpha version of the product that provides the following information:

- project observability (how transparent a project is)

- development activity rate over the different periods (last
week, last month,...)

- project details

- top contributors

- open and closed issues on Github

- …

We are currently monitoring over 1000 crypto projects from Github and Gitlab and are planning to expand this number to cover almost all known crypto projects.

Our 3-6 month goals are:

- Finding correlations between a crypto project development activity and its price history to

- facilitate future price prediction (currently work in progress)

- RESTFul/GraphQL API for developers

- Allow crypto project owners to create their own profiles and list their coins on our website

- Allow crypto project owners to only promote repositories and branches they want to and not
everything

- Allow project contributors/developers to create their own profiles on our website.

- Connecting blockchain developers with proven experience to the blockchain recruitment network

Your feedback will be most welcome, you can reach out to us at the following links:

Please. I’ve been asked why I didn’t use specific features of kafka in my solution and “because I’ve never used it before only these other pubsub systems” was not the right answer.
They would never have known. When you cook the goose, you get a nice meal but you never know about the golden eggs that never got laid as a result. Everyone thinks they did the right thing except for the goose.
I hate those plastic tubes. Nobody ever removes them and they just end up littering the countryside.

I happened to be in Austria, when this happened: https://orf-at.translate.goog/v2/stories/2204205/2204206/?_x...

If you had a bank card from a certain big Austrian bank ("Erste Bank"), that day you could not pay by card, nor get money from the ATM; basically you were locked out. Safe to say, chaos ensued for a number of hours, as many people had too little or no cash with themselves.
I remember being at a cantine where a long queue had formed with people with the trays wanting to pay and cantine staff running desperately around with "name lists" to register people in return for their promise to pay when service resumed, which it did in the afternoon.

A cashless society is much more prone to black swan events.

Surprisingly I was told by acquaintances that the incident didn't make headlines the next day, and was casually mentioned among other political scandals.

I think it's disengenuous to ignore the chronic, glaring deficiencies in planning and execution while pointing to a streaming pile of shit and saying "look, it works".
The real baller move for someone worth 50M+ with rates as low as they have been, is take out loans against the 50M to live off of. Pay back the loans with rates less than the annualized market returns. Also limits/pushes out cap gain taxes.
Exactly right. If there was a point I had (and let’s be honest, I was being an arsehole or is have linked the page) it was the policies are ignored when it’s personally inconvenient.

In the USA, you don't have a right to a bank account.

In most cases, unless you bounced a check (There is a separate system banks use on checks. It not tied to credit agencies.) you can get an account by walking in with any check, or money, though.

Many of our poor are stuck with Payday, with their outrageous fees.

The latter. I say that as someone who only works with nix systems for the last 5 years. I still write some powershell for stuff at home. I prefer Hyper-V as a hypervisor and use it there.

But the current state makes sense. Everything in Windows is COM, .NET, or a derivative thereof. Having a scripting language that natively speaks to these technologies in a flexible manner is a natural extension.

nix is a lot more of the file based stuff and so a shell language that makes it easy to run a series of tools that operate on text is natural (I.e. awk, sed, grep, xargs)
Progressive policies are intended to bring the poor to the middle class, however they are designed to turn the middle class into the poor.

Dont confuse stated intentions with results.
There are probably several thousand, if not more, other former Windows platform admins like me that are absurdly grateful that Snover stuck with his vision, giving us a path to being automation and, later, cloud experts. I've since branched off into DevOps, but up to about 2011/2012, was pigeon-holed as a Windows admin. Doing a few clever things with PowerShell and Active Directory led to my being chosen to work on my company's Skype for Business deployment, then Azure, which led to Kubernetes and DevOps.

Having an immediate work-related reason to learn a powerful scripting language means a lot in particular for people who don't have a lot of time to learn things outside of work, like parents (especially mothers) of young children.
> there's no way to tell _where_ the error will even come from - you might get a Net:: error, you might get a Timeout:: error, hell you could even get an Errno::! What most programmers wind up doing is handling no errors at all until they occur in runtime - or wrapping every single "suspicious" statement in a catch-all begin/rescue block, even when it's not needed.

Been programming Ruby for 8 years and have never seen anyone do that, so no...
If that block of code can really throw so many different types of exceptions (usually - it can't) you can always catch StandardError.

Yeah, I tried that, there's a small amount of wiggle room but not much, because they said "it wouldn't be fair to our current workers in that classification that aren't making as much". A poor answer. Ignores market conditions and says they know they're underpaying other people too, many of whom are probably looking for a new job as a result. I'm embedded in an operational division, but we've lost a very significant % of our core IT folks as well.
I'm afraid I can't help you. I'm not sure whether Googlers here can either. I'd be surprised if they are allowed to modify user accounts outside the established processes.

I would recommend anyone who values their Google account, and who can afford it, to purchase two FIDO security keys and enroll in the Advanced Protection Program. [0]

Once you've done that, security warnings upon sign in go away. It would seem you can sign in on the least trustworthy IP address in the world, and Google will not bother you about it.

Interviewing sucks...

The best jobs I had I just started on -trial- or whatever doing good work on their GH and from then i'ts pretty easy to know if we're a match or not.

(Paid) Trialhires should be a more common thing.

Companies should hire and fire more easily. I just don't understand I work mostly as a contractor so they really can fire me with 1, 10, or whatever days in advance...

It's not like I'm an employee with protection to being fired or compensation or whatever...

Why so much hassle?
