>PoE is a bit excessive for this I think.

I don't agree, and it's not really about the power (though there are plenty which either are or could be hungrier if the capability was there). Ethernet is very cheap, standard, and reliable. It's easy to run by people who aren't electricians. Ethernet benefits from vast economies of scale and market, you can get minimal Cat 5e for <$0.07/ft (7 cents per foot), and piles of connectors too for pennies. It will be easy to pull and handle plenty of abuse. You can get it riser or plenum rated. Connectors cover a full spectrum of usage and are straight forward to do fast and then test for correctness with a massive array of tools also spanning the price/performance spectrum. Are you for real in suggesting USB-C vs 8P8C?

I'm not suggesting at all using PoE exclusively, but it is disappointing it's as rare as it is in commercial products. There's plenty of devices I'd like to just put somewhere and not touch again for 10 years, which battery isn't ideal for. Security, more stuff broadcasting into limited spectrum, trouble shooting and so on also factors in. It's particularly galling for things which actually do need hardline power anyway, are security/safety related, or both. Wireless absolutely has its place but shouldn't be the only option, particularly when it's commonly so freaking bad (like devices which make things "easy" by demanding to use an app and pair with the network your phone is on rather then just letting you enter an SSID and passwords and then mysteriously won't work arrrrrghhhhhh).

if your goal is more protectionism, then it’s great. but if you want to produce market leaders then it’s bad.

It is likely, that this DB contains more information, than what a formal printout gives.

"But these companies would turn themselves into criminals by using or purchasing this information."

Which is why they probably would not deal with the information gathering directly, but use a service of a data analyst company. When they do something illegal, nobody who contracted then did ever know anything. I think this game is played in china as well.
Due diligence is definitely important prior to signing a long term agreement. This is also why contracts usually aren't 7 years from the start, usually 2-3 years then longer term once stability is reached.

Having payment start from day one is a basic mistake that companies make, usually you can pay for consulting up until the point of go live, then turn on the recurring payment. Making sure bug severity vs resolution time is in writing is another key item to add.

Unless you spelled out the SLA and requirements in a contract, you are looking at an ugly court case where you need to claim they are in violation of the 'spirit of the contract'. If they have written down that their service is poor, and you have these examples in writing, it might be possible.

As far as rebates go, why would you want to continue a detrimental relationship with a vendor? Usually you would want to exit and find another solution.
Ask HN: Is anyone using Fastmail for their business?
Hi all,

My dad and I run our family business that is highly email reliant. We are currently using GoDaddy's grandfathered unlimited business email plan (yes, I know), and it's been pretty bulletproof for around 15 years, but we want a modern web interface and more control. We only need email, calendars, and contacts for 5 users, so Fastmail is an option we are considering.

Is anyone here using Fastmail for their email-heavy business or profession, and if so, what's your experience been like? Have you felt restricted by Fastmail's lack of cloud integrations and other services that Google Workplace and and Microsoft 365 have? Any issues with uptime, deliverability, and support, especially given the latter is email only?

Any feedback is appreciated!

I've been working on a project "Got". Which deals with the LFS problem, mentioned in the post.

Got isn't really trying to do software version control better than Git. It's trying to make general purpose file versioning practical, with a workflow similar to Git's.

It's an especially awful argument when switching the user-agent makes the problem disappear.

"Forgive the multi-billion dollar conglomerate with a vested interest in user capture; they probably just don't employ the proper people" is a very weak argument on something like this.

>Each consecutive job hop past 15 years got me better pay, better benefits and sometimes a better job (sometimes it was equaly shitty as the prevous one but for better money). This does not happen for unionized workers.

As a counter-example to this specific point, the Screen Actors Guild does a tremendous amount of work to raise the pay and conditions of the median earning actors, without preventing the highest performing members from negotiating compensation in line with their ability to contribute to the success of a project. We can have our cake (collective negotiation) and eat it too (million dollar+/yr IC roles).

If you tell a kid that words shouldn't hurt them, but words do hurt them, then what other conclusion can they come to other than that they're emotionally deficient? Kids trust their parents. If parents say the world works in a certain way, then kids will believe that. Kids can have trouble reconciling things when a their observations disagree with what a trusted parent has told them.

It's better to instill high self-esteem in a kid through positive reenforcement. When the kid is called stupid at school, the words don't hurt them because the kid knows they are, in fact, not stupid.
This sounds like a response from someone who takes for granted that kids are good. The OP just asked what the benefits are to having kids, with some reasons given for why he doesn't see the idea as positive. If you think this post is biased you should try going through life as someone who doesn't want kids, people really take it personally when you say you're not interested in the idea
> continuous improvement

My experience so far is that this means permanent micromanagement because nobody can claim perfection. Might work for some people but I couldn't find a way to view it but as insidious. When I left myself open to essentially permanent criticism of not just my output but how I produce my output at further granularity it led to a frankly confusing role where my manager might as well have been pervertedly resting his hands upon mine and trying to help me type better.

> Uhh Jim what are you doing?

> I don't want to do this but your typing KPIs are in the toilet, I want to try something.

> I haven't received feedback on the last round of contradictions I reported.

My suggestion was to fire Jim but that process improvement was denied.

I always have showdead enabled. Really not sure what you mean, there is very little moderation here, most of the flagging is simply due to downvoting by users and like you say yourself you can see this by ticking "showdead".

Is it possible you're not aware of all the censorship on reddit? Most of the posts and comments are removed without users even knowing if they weren't looking with special tools. Many times even those making the submissions themself aren't aware, since perfidiously it still shows up to the user who made the comment or post. Try browsing with 'reveddit', which is good for making both moderator as well as some admin deletions visible. But even that doesn't catch everything.
>I host a lot on AWS but you will need as many people in IT support as before

This doesn't pass the smell test at all. Datacenter ops are way more complex than AWS ops; why would someone on cloud need IT support for VMWare, BMC Ops, Power management and generation, supply chain management and land leasing/renting? These are the few roles, off the top of my head, that just go away when moving to the cloud at FedEx's scale.
Everyone uses it the way it was intended. There's not really another option. Any time you create a branch locally, without needing to contact the central server you are using distributed vcs. Same when you do local commits, or rebases or whatever. All of that is because you have a local copy of the repo and history, and can develop your way against your local repo then push the resulting changes upstream. The fact that this allows chaining of upstreams is not the main focus of "decentralized" wrt git and the other dvcs, that's just a side effect of the concept that appealed to Linus since it would better fit the kernel development model.

From the point of view of someone stuck on subversion, all of that is freaking magic. This is what I mean about "radical departure". By analogy, there's people who think of horses as slower cars and say things like "why can't we just start using horses again" without ever considering the horse issues that are no longer relevant like: having to feed them every day, having to not ride them too long without resting the horse, what do to with all the poop, and so on because cars don't even have analogous impediments.

Fast enough for this approach to work for small examples. For longer examples, I'm less confident: I've yet to implement a proper module system (other than a slightly more principled version of C's #include) so this currently means compiling the entire standard library on every REPL line. Thankfully, the compiler can still handle this within about 100 milliseconds on my machine. Perhaps when I have a more rugged module system I can look into this more, thanks for the suggestion!
The other circle of life!

Society needs a new influx of kids all the time to replace those leaving or those looking after those soon to be leaving, so we have a biological drive to procreate like any other animal. Our use of technology and other knowledge to improve our survival rates has led to an over-population/resource-overuse issue, but that is a different discussion.

Our mental development means that we have other drives which can override the biological signals that tell us to procreate (or lead us to enjoy practise sessions and accidentally do the real thing!), or reduce the risk of unintended procreation, so unlike pretty much all the other life forms on the planet we don't have to.

If you don't want to, don't. Though if you have a partner who wants to, then things get more complicated, perhaps you are (no longer) well suited as partners?

> It isn't overpopulated with people like your children will grow up to be. Children in the west benefit from public health measures and educational opportunities that will potentially enable them to be net contributors to solutions for overpopulation. The world can't be overpopulated with geniuses, with enough of them we can make new worlds.

Yes but given that unintelligent people are multiplying themselves at a much faster rate than intelligent people, do you really think your one or two intelligent children will have much of an impact on the world? It's wishful thinking.

The Greeks are in massive debt because of years of financial mismanagement and fraud, as well as cooking their books to get into the EU to make their economy look more stable than it really was.

Greece can export to any country it wishes, if it has goods or resources that other countries want. If Greece can produce the Germans really want, they'll export to Germany all the way to an internal German trade deficit.

The entire EU would be quite happy if Greece turned into a workers' paradise tomorrow, but no other country is going to pay to fix the mess corrupt Greek governments have left behind unless the Greek situation threatens the stability of their own economies.
This actually opens a race to be the best mobile browser, which might well see new entrants. As people increasingly use their mobiles as primary devices, they are more likely to move to a new browser on mobile platforms and then adapt their desktops to that choice, rather than the other way around as they did in the past. Current mobile browsers have historical baggage that a new entrant would not need to carry.
It really depends on the system. I agree that most companies tend to end up with a cesspool of middle-management political games but that's not something unavoidable.

I've seen examples where the objectives of the management and the teams are sufficiently aligned by the owners to create win-win situations.

Yes, it's not that typical, but it's possible.
This comment is incredibly utopian lol. I wonder where you're coming from to think these claims are reasonable. The kids who make it big with startups or some really smart people who can get a job at faang in less than half a year are a tiny fraction of the population
I don’t see why you are surprised by the sharing with competitors and the obligation of interoperability. That’s in line with what’s imposed on dominant player in an unbalanced market. Basically Europe is saying to gatekeepers that they can keep their platform but it will come with a lot of caveat from now on.
My nine-year-old daughter has had cancer and been diagnosed with epilepsy and high-functioning autism. Despite these challenges...

+ Being a parent is fun. Kids are super funny. Teaching them stuff is a treat, and seeing their interests emerge is a wonderful feeling. Assuming you love your spouse, you get to see this chimera of the best parts of you and your partner walking around in the world.

+ Kids are also familial and social glue. Even if you live a ways from parents, it's an easy excuse to stay in touch, a place to plan trips. One of the crazy things that as your kids grow they look and sound like different relatives. It's a cool experience.

+ Selfishly, it's nice knowing you'll have some influence on the world, no matter how small, after you pass.

I'm know some childless billionaires and honestly I wouldn't trade the decade-long headstart I've had with my daughter and her brother for all their worldly fun. Everything people say about parenting being the best thing you'll ever do is right – and they're underselling it.

FWIW, I understand the cynicism. You seem like someone who has suffered through tough times. I hope you find peace.
It sounds like you don't want to have children and are trying to justify that choice. While I can unequivocally state that I never had any regret having - as in fathering and raising - children I will not try to convince you of the error in your ways. If you don't want to have children, don't have them - it will give you the opportunity to dedicate your life to yourself and it will spare your not-to-be-born children a parent who regrets their appearance in their lives.

...or maybe... there is something beyond a life of self-indulgence after all? Maybe the sacrifice in time - which is the largest sacrifice, all that money-talk is secondary in my opinion - is worth the gains? You might have to skip a few festivals and you might not always have the latest iGadget but you will not miss these because you have far more interesting and challenging prospects, namely the raising of the next generation.
Not sure how to answer that, but sure, I can imagine plenty of ways in which a local repo could be screwed up that might require a strip or just a complete fresh pull. "All breakage cases" is pretty broad.

It looks really nice, but I think the lack of custom layers makes it quite - well - lacking.

A simple feature which allowed to add an arbitrary OSM POI category as a layer (and selectively remove individual POIs) would've been very useful.
> Because the people who don't consider the long term ramifications of having children are still breeding, so the trajectory of humanity (compound even more by social safety nets) is now toward R style reproduction (aka "spray and pray").

Except that it's factually the opposite: numbers of children per family are declining, and that's especially the case in places with strong social safety nets because descendants are no longer the best form of old age insurance.

Humanity is becoming even more consistently k-strategist.

Like most clever sayings, there are parameters where it does not apply.

But for a children calling each other a mean name on the playground, or acute instances of verbal insult such as words exchange in a bar, the cost benefit analysis of the saying is accurate.

Repeated instances of bullying or communal insults and humiliation cross into the abuse realm, and are not addressed by the saying.
Probably. I know it was a different time but they supported old versions of IE even when the market share dwindled below 10%. I guess they probably figure supporting Firefox isn't going to win them enough business to offset the cost.

Raising kids with remote work is easy and relatively affordable. If raised correctly, kids do not give much troubles.

Kids are handicap, but people tend to fill void with other handicaps (alcohol, chasing skirt...).

But it is big decision and very long run. You should not make any compromises on partner (even before you start). Marrying woman over 24, with debt or mental issues should be deal breaker.

You'll find that most decisions aren't made as a result of deliberate thought

As far as I have seen people mainly pop kids because they want to (the same way people who are hungry want food regardless of any knowledge about nutrition), because they want their kids to deal with their old age crap instead of dealing with it on their own, or because it's the usual path laid by the environment

Well EU law starts off life as a proposal by the Commission, so it's virtually impossible for there to be a proposal passed by Parliament and not have Commission support (unless Parliament has made significant amendments that the Commission does not like, although I'm unaware of this ever happening).

Council not agreeing is definitely a potential problem, but given the level of support from the Commission and Parliament I doubt the Council will block this.
