Whether that was anyone's intent or not, he founded a company and sold you an opportunity to profit from its success in exchange for the services you could contribute. That company of his is now evolving, maybe because he's risk-averse or maybe because he has good instincts.

If you can't get behind the new vision and don't think the company will succeed, you're working for nothing and should write it off as a learning experience and move on, thankful that you only bet six months on it.

Ask HN: Unused Colo Space Transfer?
Has anyone ever heard of selling the rest of a colo contract? Through tremendously bad communication one of our co-founders executed a contract for 1 year, 1 cabinet (6kW) that we're definitely not going to use now that the funding environment has tightened. The colo is charging us the full term through end of March 2023. Appreciate any ideas preferable to eating the cost.
Any distribution can do that -- at the end of the day, you can always get e.g. the linux-kernel deb-src and set the option in Kconfig. That will not solve the rest of the problem -- interaction with other kernel config flags, or side-effects vs. applications that assume a specific kernel configuration and patch set.
You don't need Leviathan (the state) to control the actions of ordinary people so much as you need it to prevent the ambitious few from taking control. That's the instability of anarchism.
I worked on Brackets full time at Adobe. It came before Atom and had a bit of a different target (designers-who-code vs. developers in general). Brackets was great fun, but it too ultimately needed to be sunsetted.

Brackets was the foundation of Adobe Edge Code, which was part of Creative Cloud, so there were some bigger plans there.
Indeed! The encryptions of the client queries are fully semantically secure - under relatively solid lattice-based cryptographic assumptions, a server would need to do more than 2^128 work to recover the plaintext of someone’s query. One query for one item in the database is indistinguishable (without the client’s key) from another query for the same item later; in other words, it’s similar to something like the guarantee of CBC or GCM modes, where as long as you use it correctly, it is secure even if the attacker can see many encryptions of its choosing.

No. High crime stats is pretty much always a bad thing (regardless of whether there is actually more crime driving it up or due to enforcement being overzelaous). But low crime stats aren't always a good thing, like in a situation when they are low because there is no enforcement prosecution happening.

To give you an analogy that might help, high covid infection numbers are bad always, but low covid numbers can be either good (if the covid numbers are truly down) or bad (if the real numbers are just not being tracked properly/swept under the rug, and people are just not getting tested enough).

But to give a direct answer to your original question, yes, low crime numbers are bad when they are the result of prosecution and enforcement not doing their job, as opposed to being the result of crime actually going down.
Except that even "privilege level" as such is not a concept from academic discourse. It's a concept from Maoist discourse-- in its original form of "bourgeois privilege", which applied to such elite things as being basically literate-- which got picked up by academics; and largely bourgeois, privileged academics at that.

> By demanding a mental health system that keeps people from harm while being perfectly compassionate, you're preferring the utopian social ideal to the possible.

Nowhere did I demand perfection, only improvement. Refusing to even try to improve because perfection is impossible is irrational.

> It's just too much to ask of doctors, nurses, and orderlies to be compassionate all the time. These people are human beings.

That does not mean that we shouldn't find ways to improve the system to allow more compassion to be displayed. The hours and workloads we place on these workers are a significant contributing factor. We have a large problem with burnout, especially among our lower tier healthcare providers.

> Mush-brained calls for empathy are a dime a dozen and they lead to failed policies, in SF and elsewhere.

Name calling isn't a very effective communication strategy and won't hide the fact that your argument is based on falsehoods and misrepresentation.

The ”failed policies” are the ones that created our drug and homelessness crises over that last several decades. The war on drugs is a failed policy, busing homeless is a failed policy, jailing drug addicts is a failed policy.

That isn't to say that the new policies don't have problems and won't fail, but we need better options that just sticking with the failed policies that created the problem in the first place.

Whatever tokens you use to identify someone will be a target for identity theft. You can make the tokens harder to guess or harder to replicate, but with an associated decreased accessibility. The convenient thing about names and DOBs is that most people have them, and most people remember them. The issue with most surrogate tokens is that a remediation process is necessary for when people lose or forget them, and those processes fall back on, you guessed it, name/DOB, etc.

I always want to love FreeBSD, it's the first Unix system I used with any regularity many years ago. Every few years I get some inspiration to load it up and play. Without fail every time I have tried I've run into some problem with hardware support. From it just refusing to boot on an Opteron server to networking just not working on a mini PC. Ubuntu on those same machines had zero problems.

So it doesn't matter what FreeBSD can offer if I can't run it on the hardware I have available. If I'm stuck running it in a VM why would I bother with it?

Sorry if this is too much of a tangent, but I would love to know what these are!

Welcome to BigCo. That's all there is.
Yes, many of us have dealt with this as you can see from the existing comments.

One thing you are mentioning is the friction around the dev experience however and there is perhaps an action you can take, if you're willing this early in your tenure there, to put your neck out on the line.

My very firm belief is that a bad dev experience results in a high cost of experimentation which means people don't try new things out and innovation stops. The only way things get done is through massively coordinated efforts. If you can associate a cost of the gate keeping with productivity and then directly back to the money it costs the company, or money that could be saved, or feature velocity to be gained, you can make a case for improving the experience. Making the case and seeing this all through will take you 6-9 months.

I disagree with everything you wrote, and I doubt you can find a prominent EA who doesn't.

The mathematics are there to benefit people who share moral assumptions like "the extreme suffering of other humans is bad" or "I don't value myself more than 3000 other people". There is no objective morality. But there are many people who share moral assumptions like the above ones, and the mathematical calculations are for their benefit.

EAs are actually incredibly thorough about writing down all of their subjective moral weights and comparing them -- GiveWell's staff has done this and published the result for many years, for example. They've created spreadsheets where you can plug in your own moral weights to see how it affects their giving suggestions. The fact that morality is necessarily subjective and individual is an extremely normal part of the EA conversation.

I don't know whether it's visible from where you are sitting, but what you wrote is exactly contrary to the TFA. TFA implicitly starts from "what if we forget for a minute that ROI exists, and see where that leads us". (If it seems incredibly wasteful, stay with me to the end.) And where it led them is that the people like you and me are crucial parts of Investment (the I of ROI), and the people group together. The ones that gladly do 90% toil don't like to team up with those that prefer 10% toil.

Because the problem with ROI calculation is that for some areas the ideal amount of toil would be 99% and for other 1%. For both extremes, you'll bleed valuable people, so sometimes your Investment becomes "hire new team just for that" and the rest is peanuts.

To put the thing back on its feet first create a team that takes 50% toil and give them these areas that ROI-wise require approximately 50% toil. Call the team "SRE". Create a team that takes 10% toil. Give different areas. Create a team that takes 90% toil, etc.
That's business as usual these days. People like to use VPN, fake names, disposable email addresses for signup. Not necessarily fraudulent. Treat it as anonymous user and adjust your business to accommodate those, e.g. free accounts that auto-expire, require credit card or phone verification to unlock all features.

You fight a bit by adding captchas, block VPNs but it's an arms race unable to win. My record user created 80 accounts (manual, a student who really liked our free product, took 12 hours) and another created 800 accounts (somewhat automatic).
the point is that this is a deflection, whether consciously intended or not. you didn't have anything more relevant to say so you succumbed to subconscious biases to post this random factoid.

>Siri on HomePods are a disaster. You have to shout at it even for it to pickup what you are saying. Mostly when the volume is a little high.

I have the opposite experience on the HomePod mini, it's actually one of the thing that they are better at. My google home device is entirely useless to try to talk to if something is already playing on it. Compared to Siri that will understand me.

The issue is more with Siri itself being dumb and not that great.
As a transport I agree. But as a config file format? I'm a little skeptical.

The main benefit of a flat file format for configs is that it can be added to source control and edited by any plaintext editor. If I kept config as protobuf, I would need special tools to handle it, which could be annoying (e.g. if I'm remoted into a remote system). It would also make it more difficult to see diffs between different config versions stored in git.
Proof of counter examples does not invalidate that statement. I could just as easily mention non-technical founders such as Steve Jobs, Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn), Tim Westergren (Pandora), Aaron Levie (Box), or Sean Rad (Tinder).

I really appreciate your response. Intuition is the perfect way to put it.

I am aware that the burden of proof lies on me, since I made the claim. I am 100% being intellectually lazy by not seeking out data to support my claim. My intuition is just a hypothesis that could very well turn out to be incorrect.

I am wagering that it is correct, just as other people are free to wager that it is incorrect. Downvotes seem to be a harsher way to express that, but your comment is much more constructive.
There's bleeding and there's bleeding. I've walked around bleeding. I've cut myself pretty badly. I've never needed emergency services to tend to any cut I've received.

You are using language to color the situation in a way that the only possible solution is the one you want to present. When we don't actually know the details of the event, just what the author presented. Like you keep referring to him as "a vulnerable person". Why? Simply because he's injured? Maybe the wound is superficial. We don't know. All we know is that the author's friend called 911. And the man wound up refusing care.

Maybe there was no "good" option or "bad" option here, just options.

I think you're hanging on the part of the story where the man winds up dead. Because that's what the author wants you to do, associate his death with his refusal of care in this instance.

But his death occurred at a much later time in a different place. The two events are only related by happening to the same guy.

And not to mention, you want to rob this man of all of his agency. The implication from you is that the man was not capable of making a rational decision about his own care. Take away this man's housing situation and are you this adamant about forcing care upon him?

> You're assuming they hadn't already offered to treat him and he said yes which is the most likely scenario.

Complete conjecture and is not supported by the story at all. You don't get to imagine what likely happened, draw conclusions based on that imagined scenario, then declare your conclusions correct. We were told what we were told. I could say that the most likely scenario is that the wound was superficial which is why he refused aid.

It's always disappointing to see comments like this on HN by arrogant, ignorant technologists who haven't done their homework and fail to understand the complexities of healthcare delivery. Biology is a lot harder than software or engineering. There are many researchers working in this area but outside of a few limited areas they haven't succeeded in creating models that are useful for assessing the quality of individual practitioners. And that generally wouldn't even be useful since healthcare is a team activity where systems matter more than individuals.

We can do somewhat better at measuring quality for larger provider organizations across patient populations. The NCQA HEDIS measures are evidence based and reflect current consensus on best practices.

The wording is unfortunate, but the ask is not free money for past work, it's to support upcoming work which she does wants to release for free and not be dependent on ad-driven monetization schemes. Frankly, I think this is something to be applauded.

This is the first thing out of homomorphic encryption I personally have seen that seems to be in the ballpark of useful for some practical use, which is impressive. Have I missed out on any other such things of interest?

(And this is not a criticism; this is a compliment. You start so far behind the eight-ball with homomorphic encryption with regard to the resources it consumes I wasn't convinced it was ever going to be even remotely useful for much of anything. Precisely because I was so skeptical, I am that impressed to see something work this well. It's not the fastest Wikipedia mirror, but... honestly... I've been on slower websites! Websites with far less excuse.)
Call me old, but I cannot look beyond vi/vim for an editor. A few years ago I had to edit a text file that was 9GB in size. It took a while to open it in vim, but once it was open, it was no different than any 2kb file. No other editor was able to even open the 9GB text file.

I'm not saying that they should. It's common for people to believe that police are obligated to protect them. I'm pointing out that is a misconception in the hope that will empower people to look out for themselves when the system fails them (like filing a private criminal complaint).
Mid-sized well established companies engaged in markets where there is active growth. You get maturity, experience, and a true desire for competition... and if you can move the needle for that type of group you will be well rewarded and you'll probably actually enjoy it.
This is a great case of where statistics don’t tell the whole story. I’ve seen multiple crimes in SF that I don’t bother reporting since I know the police won’t do anything about it. So up this years’ stats by at least a few notches in the vandalism, car breakin, theft, sale of illegal goods, and bodily harm inflicted upon another categories…
This is a great idea, and we think it would be relatively practical assuming some aggressive caching. However, I couldn’t think of a threat model where this is useful, since presumably your ISP can in the end always see which sites you visit by simply reversing the IPs you connect to.

Do you think that people would want private DNS? I suppose it would still be an improvement over the what we have today, but I’m not sure that it will make it meaningfully harder for ISPs to collect and sell data to advertisers.
