I don't know if I'd use "continually" versus "throwing shit at a wall and seeing what sticks". But yes, cancellation is all a part of that model of content creation and curation.

Same here, this is kind of surprising.
How else does Glassdoor make money, then? So somehow it's payola.

Slightly off topic. What is the tech stack and architecture of "archive.org". How do they manage such huge storage. How do they forecast and how much does it cost per year to manage existing storage ? I could not find any links?
I was thinking about this the other day. One element that makes a successful senior is distinguishing fads from trends early enough, rather than just good from bad.

Trends and fads can look pretty similar in the early days, and trends often look bad early on too as they often take longer to mature than a fad. The trick is in spotting things that appear to be a bad fad, but will eventually be a good trend.
As Levine has pointed out repeatedly, the statements he's claiming are false are pretty hard to falsify, as they essentially include the string "this statement might be false".
But why is a US court telling Glassdoor to do something because of a New Zealand law?

I know the importance of continuous sets in the study of statistics as a branch of math. But I don't know of any measurements that can't be represented by integer multiples of a unit for all practical purposes. And the students in the non-calculus stats course can't grasp what continuity is anyway.
Oh so much. We hear this from our users all the time.

Full disclosure, I work for a Cognito competitor, so I'm definitely talking my book here. But our users are not. Here's a summation.

* There is only one deployment model, a SaaS offering on AWS.

* The user pool and identity pool concepts can be difficult to grasp.

* The user interface presented to your customers is inflexible and hard to customize.

* You can run Cognito only in the geographies supported by AWS.

* Cognito pools are not multi-region. If the AWS region that your pool is in is unavailable, you have few options.

* It doesn’t support localization of messages or the user interface.

* You can’t backup or export all user data, notably password hashes.

* SAML accounts are expensive after you grow beyond the free tier.

* Possibly most concerning, Amazon Cognito has been relatively static and has received few recent improvements over the last few years. The console UX got an overhaul in 2021, though.

* The customizability of the user interface and workflows are lacking.

* Since you can't export your password hashes, if you move to a different provider, you have to reset user passwords or use a drip migration.

Here's a funny video from Corey Quinn about Cognito: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=x70EypnAH1Y&feat...

That said, I've heard rumors they are working on multi-region Cognito (see this vague tweet from an AWS employee: https://twitter.com/sarah_cecc/status/1486346455790985228 ) which would absolutely be a game changer. And they have a nice serverless model if you can get by with their functionality and deployment model.
Didn't they already do this with nutria?
We buy them wholesale from various Chinese manufacturers. I believe the first ones were through Alibaba or Ali Express.
I see no reason to leave a review on basically any site for anything; but especially a bad review on something like Glassdoor, except out of some spite or something.

Maybe if they paid for them.
Ask HN: How do I come back after burn-out?
My last job burnt me out so hard that I needed to leave without finding another job.

I've pieced my mind back together in the mean-time (I'm no longer depressed/suicidal), but I still have severe anxiety issues and haven't worked in four years.

The nervousness that results from the anxiety tanks every interview I do, and I never even get to the technical stage (leaving me unable to even display the fact that I do actually know what I'm doing).

I really have no clue how to get back into things.

Yep! It was not a serious suggestion, just a joke based on taking a circuitous route through the language.
The article makes some good points.

Having lived in over 4 countries I can say the United States is by far the most bureaucratic when it comes to immigration. Processes are long, complex and expensive. Often requiring multiple rounds of paperwork or even quarterly submissions of additional documentation (such as with STEM OPT). It definitely discourages people like me (PhD in engineering + entrepreneur) from staying.
Counterpoint: This all got a lot worse and more confusing for me when I read the dissertation. What people seemed to call RESTful struck me as a bit convoluted but fine and workable. But after I read the dissertation, it was clear that all that was "wrong", but I was left without any real concept of what was both right and workable. It took me years to realize I could just ignore the whole thing and focus on designing useful interfaces. (And that, indeed, this is what most people had been doing already.)
That depends on jurisdiction. Not all countries protect truthful disparaging public remarks.
They're going to have a heck of a time hiring. I hope this gets a lot of media attention globally.
You may not have thought this out. Why would an upwardly-revised bot count number, even a drastically revised number, tank Twitter's value? Click fraud has been an open secret for decades and did essentially nothing to harm Google's financials. People who buy large blocks of Twitter advertising do so for outcomes they themselves measure financially, not based on synthetic metrics.

If you don't have an especially clear answer to how that revision would harm Twitter's bottom-line numbers, my understanding is that you'd have essentially no hope of convincing the Delaware Chancery Court that a "material adverse event" had occurred. And that's, of course, before you get to the fact that the numbers we're talking about are hedged in the SEC filings.

What's with the country list? Seems like a weird choice.
You might be able to get by with something like throwing it through Google Translate to a different language, then back, and then fix only anything that's _unreadably_ awful. Might be too blunt of a tool though.

The other thing I can think to try to do would just be avoid any complete sentences, just give short bulletpoints or something. Resticting the amount of text should make it harder to get anything like a real match.

It's our way of trying to make something out of all the lost years working away in the salt^H^H^H^Hprotobuf mines. We have to use the 'leverage' because all else we'd have left is money in the bank account and skill sets incompatible with most other places in the industry.
The rate of innovation in software is not constrained by capital or physics (and to a lesser extent regulation) to the extent it is in other engineering disciplines, which overweights the importance of individual skill and execution in outcomes. Software isn't an intrinsically high-margin business, but the cost of creating and operating in new high-margin business frontiers is uniquely low, allowing individuals to leave the rapidly commoditizing part of the software business in the rear-view mirror.

The margins would be single-digits if the pace of change and innovation possible was like other engineering disciplines. The business of software engineering evolves at an incredible rate that would be unimaginable in the engineering discipline I went to school for.
If my recollection is correct, some thought HTDP was an easier read than SICP. But now, there is a version of SICP adapted for Javascript:

How entry id’s serve as an alternative to pubDates? Also by entry id, do you mean RSS item?

Most of my concern comes from seeing NewsBlur, Feedly, and The Old Reader resort to premium services. Throttling users unless they pay, now that’s not a game I want to be apart of.
I know an MIT PhD (natural sciences) who thinks too highly of herself--when I beat her in the Chinese game of Wuziqi (She's Chinese and has beaten the computer and played nearly all her 20+ years), she was so pissed off....She still had that hubris and self-aggrandizement though, until she discovered by chance, that I used to teach mathematics at one of her Alma maters. After that she became sort of an enemy. This is the problem with self-aggrandizing people.
Economic growth is fueled largely by innovation.

That's a curiously unsupported hypothesis.
They don't want to get it wrong and piss off a major market.
There is an authoritative source of truth here, though, whether or not anyone chooses to listen to him—Roy Fielding defined REST, so his ideas on this matter are, I'd argue, definitionally correct (which is not automatically the same as most useful).
See, to me, this sounds like a failure to listen to your customer. They were telling you that well known URLs were useful to them, and you were forcing them to make more compromises so that you could make fewer.
Then again I always come into these threads for the comments, even (/especially) when I know the software bring discussed.

There is usually interesting discussion, info and tips - like in this thread.
I don’t know if writing software as an incidental expense to efficiently allocate capital is actually worse than writing software as an incidental expense to conduct mass surveillance to trick old and poor people into clicking ads.
I used to think this and rage at the current state of Python dependency management. Then I just buckled down and learned the various tools. It's honestly fine.
My first prototype was for my own ('98 Kawasaki STX900) so I just asked if anyone was interested buying a set in a Kawasaki forum I frequented heavily. When custom orders started coming in I just asked for a picture of their current footwell/tread mat and cross-referenced measurements online. I erred on the side of leaving some models larger so the customer could trim it on their end, but the majority follow a really general form.

I sold about 70 through the forums, 300 from word of mouth, and another 250 on eBay. They make 90's-era skis really lean into that Dixie-cup aesthetic and they work surprisingly well, so a customer's buddy or dock neighbor would ask and I'd catch a referral that way. I think I priced them just right too.
I mean if the reviews violate NDAs why shouldn't they be able to?

If they don't violate NDAs and the allegations aren't true, why shouldn't they be able to?

Finally, if Glassdoor is anonymous, why would they have any records of anyone who posts a review? If you want to claim some content has an anonymous author, you, the company hosting the content, cannot have any ability to identify the author. Otherwise all this "anonymous" info is a hack, malicious employee, or lawsuit away from no longer being anonymous.
One coping technique is to spray your bedsheet with water and then run a fan.

The simple usefulness of the Secchi disk
That's only part two of the hard question, part one requires knowledge of M&A law, Delaware corporate precedents and Delaware chancellery psychology/game-theory to establish odds of the deal being forced, cancelled or in-between. Then part three is establishing the probability Elon Musk of all people will follow thru any given ruling and what happens if he doesn't play ball.

I wonder if it's not easier to just project cash flows into the future. Or to play a number of other merger situation with more reliable participants, like Activision-Microsoft for 23% upside (versus Twitter's 42%).
This is what I presume is happening too.

I have worked at several companies that received a lot of poor reviews and often what happens if you keep track of those reviews over several months is that they "mysteriously" disappear. Of course by that point the person who left the review has probably moved on to a new job and can't be bothered writing another review that is sufficiently vague as to avoid potential removal. One company I worked at even had its overall rating significantly messed with (over 0.5 change within a month), as those old reviews disappeared and "mysteriously" a bunch of vapid positive reviews appeared.

All that said, I still check Glassdoor before every job I interview for. You just need to be mindful - especially for larger companies who can afford the time to curate their reviews - that the score is perhaps a little inflated, and that the reviews that remain are as tactfully-worded as possible to avoid deletion.

TV would definitely be worse without streaming. That being said, their recent content has been absolute garbage. Contrived writing, poor directing, and it feels like everything is social justice tinged. Can't say the same about HBO. Euphoria has a lot of the same themes around sexuality, race, etc. but they're tastefully written rather than forced in because some director needed to fill their DEI quota.

Their moat used to be the streaming platform. Now everyone else has copied it, so content is king.
Was thinking the same. However, it says the fine was based on their revenue there? Does that mean they are still operating in Russia?
I’ve not read HTDP, but I’ve been reading the JS SICP in dribs and drabs and find it very readable. (I’ve not read the original.)
"catch and kill" is the practice of buying the stories just so nobody else can publish them. It's not an honest practice.

Agreed. I went to law school (of all things) at night while working as an engineer and started as a newly minted attorney with 0 experience at 2x my engineering salary (I was a 6th year EE).

Well, Levy won the bet, but just barely. More importantly, his dismissive attitude towards AI mastering chess (“[…] the idea of an electronic world champion belongs only in the pages of a science fiction book.”) was deeply shaken.
No way buying Twitter to justify selling Tesla stock is the simplest solution.

If he wanted to sell some Tesla, here's a simple way:

1) Tweet something: "Batteries are overpriced! I will start or buy a battery company, but I need a warchest to do it!"

2) Sell some Tesla stock

3) Don't do the battery thing. If you really need to justify yourself, just pretend some private discussions convinced you not to do it in the end.

This has the nice benefit of not being on the hook for tens of billions of dollars while accomplishing the same goal.
i don't know why your answer got downvoted. is HN community so devoid of a good sense of humor?
I think it was to distance these APIs from the complexities of SOAP. I think modern JSON-based APIs are somewhat RESTful--mostly in URL structure and using the basic HTTP verbs and response codes, but that's where it basically ends.
Nerd trap. It is hard science, and interesting so people are more willing to deal with bullshit to get close to it.

Engineering processes are very well developed and therefore less leadership is expected out of the ICs.

I mostly troubleshoot this dreadful old C# application these days. At this point, you almost couldn't pay me to do it. And I don't have any better prospects with the great depression 2 coming up
I've used npm but an not familiar with these kinds of details of it. There would seem to be some potential putfalls, such as two libraries accessing a single system resource (a config file, a system socket, etc.). I will take a look into this though. Thanks.
I don't think they really thought this through.
The performance is insane, and the development tooling around it is pretty impressive as well. I can live debug the react frontend app in Visual Studio without any setup or config. The project builds and runs the same on every box from dev up to production, so no need for virtualization, or Vagrant or VirtualBox anymore.
Do you enjoy feature films? Video games? Television shows?

Hardly any of that content would exist at the quality level you are accustomed to, without copyright.

I say that as a producer of such content. If anyone could legally copy and distribute my work without my permission, I would not produce it, because there would be minimal financial incentive for me to do so.

The current level of such unauthorized distribution - by which I primarily refer to the republication of my work by others, in its entirety, for their own profit - is staggering. And that is with the existence of copyright law.

And it’s a huge disincentive from publishing more content. Both economically and because it’s demoralizing.

It’s also a huge waste of time, as in order to be able to pay my employees and myself, I have to dedicate time to combating infringement-as-a-business.

If copyright ceased to exist, I and nearly every other producer that I know, would find another line of work.

Fortunately, copyright ceasing to exist is unlikely to happen.

For starters, the wholesale abolition of copyright would violate the United States Constitution.
I suspect it's been that way for a while. I graduated with Electrical and Computer Engineering degrees last century plus several years, with a schedule to go into the AF about a year later. No one wanted to hire me as an EE for "such a short time", but one crusty old NASA aeronautical engineer, who told me to "stay the hell away from this field you'll die from neglect" and to play up my software skills. First phone call pitching my coding skills and got an interview and offer on the phone in 15 minutes, drove over and went to work after lunch writing a custom assembly language application that took six months. It worked too and made the company a lot of money, and the boss told me to do whatever I wanted for the rest of the time I was there.

If the sense of purpose isn't there, usually the "community" behind it is shallow.

I'm not saying only religion offers a sense of purpose. But just a bunch of nice people in a building talking about being nice doesn't often work.
Once a gas escapes into the atmosphere any gas (apart from O2, N2 and CO2) is irretrievable economocally. Helium happens to leave the planet, but so what?

Helium is continuously produced inside Earth, it is the alpha radiation produced by the decay of Radon. There are natural gas wells that yield up to 10% Helium. If the market demand were there (eg airships), the Helium production could probably go up by a factor of 10 or 100.

It wasn't until a few years ago that I properly understood that somewhat trite line.

It isn't implying that a good workman has the skills to work wonders with bad tools, it's that a good workman will make damn sure they won't have bad tools to begin with.
That's all fine and dandy and I agree that employees should be informed of these methods. My issue is more with the framing of the post, which clearly doesn't have a cautionary spirit that informs those who'd potentially affected by a vindictive employer. Instead, it's playful curiosity of how to rat out an employee.
This is a super tired comment that gets posted endlessly.

HN appreciates humor, but it loathes noise. A lot of humorous commentary is noise that adds no value.

Sorry, this might seem like a dumb question but those used solar panels still produce some electricity. Why can't California pull a bunch of them from the landfill, put them in the California desert and connect them to the power lines to create a mini power plant.
This is quite good! I can't wait to try this out, use Snapchat with my partner quite often and might pay to use it from my laptop.

"They just aren't widely known about"

That's seriously the understatement of the past 8 months. which is about as long as I've been trying to find this (unsuccessfully).

Anyway, thank you!
Family accounts are inherently blurry. There are families where someone moves out (e.g. a teenager graduates) or lives outside the home (e.g. Grandma's in a nursing home). Some groups of friends get together, call themselves a family, and pitch in for an account. Some families spent the summer in a cabin. Some people are away from home for more than 2 weeks at a time (traveling through many destinations). IDK how they support multiple profiles in a way that's fair to everyone.

I will say that Netflix hasn't added much value to my life over the past years. Most of my watching has either been with other people (e.g. going to a friend/family member's house and casting from my account), or on an airplane. My parents and my brother have profiles on my account - we live apart, but we're still a family.

My main motivator for keeping my Netflix subscription is not interrupting my family members when they do want to watch something. If Netflix starts charging per "house" that you login from, I'm canceling my account.
You are a deep observer. I really like that. Also you seem to care about the developer experience.

Another way to express the same thesis that your story illustrates is this:

The current industry of tech challenges to filter candidates is optimized to a specific temperament which discriminates slow thinking insights, clean coders, thinkers that prefer structure over algorithms and probably more while favoring questionably readable code that just works.

I'm aware of that and I dislike it but I still want the badges of passing them.
I wouldn't be so quick to explain the country list like that.

Sometimes, companies choose to launch features at specific locations that serve as a good proxy for adoption in other areas.

Where I live in Brazil, companies constantly launch different brands of products like sodas or snacks NOT because they don't want to disrupt other more demanding markets, but because my city has a very demanding market itself. If the product sticks here it is a good proxy that it will be successful everywhere else, because we are seen as hard to adopt new ideas. Go figure.

I am not saying that this is the case here, only offering a different hypothesis. Maybe those countries offer the exact configuration of demographics, content consumption profile and account sharing habits that would make for a good proxy as to whether the new paid sharing features would work well elsewhere.
