I just felt that they were trying to say more than the obvious and I had missed what they were getting at.

Personally I don't encounter usually encounter "Don't optimize prematurely" being used as a stand alone statement. When it's being given as advice then it's backed up with examples of when an optimization is premature and when it's a good time to optimize.

The few times I do encounter it variations of it being used a statement is in code reviews, but then you've got the context of the code being commented on to help understand what the reviewer is getting at.
> Two out of those three countries have never invaded outside countries

Limiting ourselves to the currently existing states, India has annexed Hyderabad, Junagardh, Dadra, and Nagar Haveli, while China has invaded India and Vietnam, and is presently annexing the South China Sea. This doesn't excuse the US actions in Iraq, but it does show that they are less unique than you claim.
No mention of how any lorries this will take off the roads. So what's this for? To make buying unnecessary shit from Amazon even cheaper?

I'm feeling irritated just reading this. I have no idea why anyone would rely on Google for anything business-critical at this point - GPC, AdSense, Gmail, Drive, etc - I don't trust them.

This is one of worst, but I see posts of a similar nature to this here multiple times a week. At this point if you decide to do business with Google you should do so expecting this type of crap.

Unfortunately I doubt there's anything you can do to resolve this. Based on previous stories like this your best chance is just to kick up enough of a fuss that someone at Google might notice and decide to help out.

If you consider Taiwan a country, that's technically true but misleading. China would have invaded long ago if the US weren't capable or (claiming to be) willing to defend it.

If they're too dangerous to fly over public roads all the time it's problematic to put them over people and houses on private property instead. (Leaving aside noise issues.) I imagine drones will have their place to do urgent deliveries especially where there aren't roads. But they suffer from the same problem that other heavier than air craft do (e.g. flying cars), their failure mode is falling out of sky on top of things--even with safety systems like parachutes.

Is it too far to ask how old is your family member? For me I don't see this happening when I do something (like when I read, or have a conversation, or drive).

OK thanks interesting, although I would like to add that I did not address trying to identify and punish reviewers on Glassdoor, which may or may not be illegal all over Europe depending on the nature of the review. That point I tried to make was that the GP was exaggerating when painting the US as an outlier regarding the rights of employees of not to be monitored.

The US is more "employer-friendly" if you like, and much less complicated to fire employees (boo!) compared to Europe - yes. But generally not categorically different when it comes to the right of employers to snoop on their employees, which people here might want to be aware of.

I had professors like that in physics but it was more of a comedic stunt than anything. Being scared of your course is something very relatable, so I thought it was quite entertaining to have a comical lecturer who was very humorous and yet brutal about the course.

> An ebike is really a light motorcycle,

I understand why you say that, but no no no. A motorcycle is 200kg+, capable of 150+km/h, and really needs proper training (Unlike as in the US, where it seems being able to steer it is sufficient to get your licence).

E-Bikes should need a proper licence, very very different from motorcycles. Both are very dangerous, but in different ways.

In Europe we have <50cc licences, where you still need to learn a dumded down version of the road code, and that's not even enough to my taste.

(Almost lost my life, with proper motorcycle training, full equipement, in Paris, just getting to confident).

Please do not take motorized 2 wheels lightly, an e-bike can kill you very easily.

Have you ever used a service in life where there is no competition?

Straight up lack of competition examples are the easiest: DMV, airport food court, buying beer at a sports stadium etc.

If you work in tech then you’ve probably had to use software over whose purchase you had no control: Jira, PeopleHR, Taleo, Concur. There’s no competition there because you, the end user, don’t have the option to choose from a free market. For the vendor, the software doesn’t have to be any good as long as the sales pitch to you boss is amazing.

Without competition, software rots and/or never gets better. What examples are there of monopolies in Free software that caused a product to languish? OpenSSL, Python’s logging module, systemd since it was locked in as the only properly supported Debian/Ubuntu init, pre-Chrome Firefox/Mozilla, post-GMail Thunderbird.

What examples are there of corporate-sponsored software that languish without competition? Internet Explorer is the classic example but if you think Google are better than Microsoft, at heart, then how’s Android working out for us all in terms of excellence-in-the-void-of-competition?

After two experiences, I no longer use or trust Glassdoor.

1. After turning in my notice to resign, the company I was leaving offered me a written agreement where they would pay me $2500 for leaving a positive review on Glassdoor.

That's an interesting idea. I reckon the complexity added with rendering vector graphics (text in particular, font rendering is notoriously difficult) outweighs the bandwidth savings, but still it seems like an area ripe for exploration. Canvas-like APIs might be too complicated to encode/decode efficiently, yet I suspect something closer to a Web/OpenGL fragment shader would be much more manageable (yet likely much worse for interactivity unfortunately). While that wouldn't quite mesh with the idea of vector-like text you proposed (without a heavy library or two thrown in), I suspect the engineering put into the existing graphics pipeline would make it a more feasible approach to augmented video. Looking at the stuff on Shadertoy.com and Inigo Quilez's work shows the capabilities of fragment shader based graphics, yet I suspect all of the magic would be in the details of the file format and encoding strategy. If anyone pokes around or explores a video/shader hybrid format let me know and post it on HN, I bet a bunch of people would be interested.

I think you overestimate the quality of median software engineer. Even at a company like Amazon, I think something like 20% engineers can barely code. Add to that industry expectation to work independently with little guidance and not that many people who will fit the bill.

There are lots of junior engineers, who with guidance and mentoring can actually flourish but your average "move fast" startup won't invest in them.
>A friend interviewed for a hardware position at Apple and the salary was definitely SWE levels of high.

Which probably explains why Apple is the only, or one of the rare few, consumer electronics companies with products most people actually want to buy and love to own.

People keep pointing out how shitty products form Apple's competitors are (Samsung, Dell, etc.), but when you look how little they pay for talent in comparison to Apple, it becomes obvious why their products are so inferior.

Engineering great devices is expensive, and since the West offshored everything to China, and went for cutting costs as much as possible including on engineering wages, how can they expect to deliver quality?
