I don't know for sure how One Medical works. But I use Forward personally, it seems like the idea is they don't have to deal with that stuff. They don't use my insurance for all of my basic care.

Anything not basic is a referral out, but then we are dealing with the normal medical system at that point.

So I do totally see the inefficiencies from an outside prospective. I just am struggling to see the benefit to Amazon for this particular purchase. It feels like a market that will be unprofitable for a long time if they are trying to make a system that doesn't work like it normally does.
I agree that every company will likely slow in growth eventually, but I think the PE playbook is different. It's very clearly sacrificing growth, agility, ability to execute, and future potential, for the highest possible short term gains. I don't think that's something every company needs to go through.
I agree, but someone here in HN mentioned a strategy that I think can really work when you are "offered" unlimited PTO as a hiring perk: Once you get the final offer, send an email to both the Recruiter and the hiring manager (shoot as high in the org-chart as you can) and mention something like the following:

"I see that the company has an 'unlimited PTO' policy. The standard PTO time I have taken in the places I work for the last 5 years is 25 days PTO a year. Would I be able to take the same 25 days per year of PTO under the Company's 'Unlimited PTO' policy?"

That way, you are establishing a written record that 25 days (or whatever time you'd prefer), and are letting them know in advance the number of days you will take. That way, you can take 25 days every year, and if they somehow hint you that you are taking "too many days", you can refer to the email showing that hey, before you started, they told you that 25 days was OK.

Monolith refers to the application. It’s in contrast to a services architecture.
I don't think it really matters much in the long term. Either way it was obvious to the industry that electric cars were coming. High gas prices are making them a little more in demand, but it takes years to design an electric car. Any EV with announced availability before around 2025 was already in development before gas prices went up. High prices might push some schedules up a few months, and I'm sure everyone is scrambling to see if they can make a few more than planned, but in the end most are running a plan made years ago.

2025 is a number I made up for discussion. I have no doubt you can find places where it is wrong for some specific car, but I think it is close enough for discussion.
Weird they would acquire a company similar to what they are already doing with Amazon Care.
I think people already knew that oil faces political headwinds because of global warming--which fewer and fewer people deny is happening, because they can see it for themselves..

Besides, from what I've read, Biden's executive action pause on new leases was overturned in court by June 2021. Figure 1 of this page (https://www.citizen.org/article/bidens-oil-letdown/) doesn't seem to indicate any real slow down in new oil leases [if someone has a more neutral source, I'd be happy to see it]. In any case, only about a quarter of US oil production is on federal land.

These kinds of modifications are obviously different. At least the mathematical transformations are attempting at least some level of fidelity to user input, these ones aren't (e.g. someone mentioned they're sometimes getting androgynous results and speculates the added terms are conflicting with the ones they provided in their input). Not all black boxes are equivalent.

The part-time developer I’ve frequently used is one of the main contributors to a WordPress plugin I use. They were able to help with some plugin specific customizations as well as on other general work.

Because they were well-respected in the WP community, there wasn’t much interviewing needed other than discussing the specifics of the project.

I found them via the plugin GitHub.
> This encryption key is used with AES-256-CBC to establish an encrypted channel through which the zero-day exploits get delivered to the victim. This encrypted channel is set up on top of TLS, effectively hiding the exploits even from those who would be decrypting the TLS session in order to capture plaintext HTTP traffic.

This is what will happen if the government mandates "golden keys" or law enforcement backdoors to encryption. Once spy agencies figure out double encryption is hindering them, the government will regularly use its backdoors to check for double encryption.
Fair. I don’t think anyone transitions from Matlab or Julia to Numpy and feels good about it, but the broader ecosystem advantages are decisive there.

Sorry to see you downvoted friend.

I've been lamenting for a while the sole metric that is being used for environmental impact is "carbon footprint", just so that bureaucrats and companies can have something to measure while appearing to do something.

PFAS and microplastics might be damaging our genetic material, but their very existence if meaningless to the CO2 metric.

A bad metric is worse than no metric at times.
> We're going to see a lot of this as the market turns.

Not really. We saw a lot of LBO takeovers before the market turned, and Zendesk is one of those (it was planned 6 months ago). LBO activity is expected to slow down now (it already has).

What you will likely see a rise in is a lot of companies cutting costs and going into their bunkers. You don't necessarily need to be taken over a PE firm in order to do that.

Unfortunately, lots of people are indeed going into debt for crypto. That’s what happens when unregulated gambling becomes widely available.

“Survey: Americans Borrow Money, Default on Bills to Buy Cryptocurrency

More than 32% of cryptocurrency investors have used a payday loan in the past, and 11% have used a payday loan or title loan to invest in cryptocurrency, in spite of triple-digit interest rates…

About 21% of crypto-investors said they’ve used a loan to pay for their cryptocurrency investments. Personal loans were most popular, but payday loans, title loans, mortgage refinances, home equity loans and leftover student loan funds also have been utilized…

Investors are going into debt: Almost 19% of respondents said they’ve struggled to pay at least one bill due to the amount of money they’ve invested in cryptocurrency, and about 15% said they’ve worried about eviction, foreclosure or car repossession due to their investing…

More than 35% have used a credit card to purchase cryptocurrency, with about 20% of those paying it off when the bill came due, and another 14% are paying it off incrementally with either an 0% APR introductory offer or at the full interest rate, while 1% maxed out their card altogether…”

Interviewed with them once, it was a while back, more than 2 year, but it was the worst interview I can remember.

They asked me to clone a rather large repo as part of the interview, I cloned it but it was slow, the dude just blamed it all on my internet and my geographic location. Like kept going on about it through the awkward slow clone. I think I wrapped it up early.

I ws cloning other repos of similar size and much faster speeds that day.

That’s why a lot of the discussion about schedule optimization is somewhat flawed. Critical path is often constrained just as you said, they can’t be treated as a bunch of isolated job shops.

Also, I think it’s also a bad assumption to assume every construction effort is a greenfield project, just like it would be with software. Even multi-million dollar construction projects often have to work around existing infrastructure.
Many authors (among the ones I discussed with) don’t have a personal website. They have profiles on social media, Amazon author page, and maybe a page on their publisher’s website. They usually use Linktree as a unique link to redirect their users. My goal is to offer a better alternative :)
> Congress has passed nearly a hundred bills in the last year alone.

Honest question - Have you read most of the descriptions? Because I have (literally every single one) and with exception for a few aimed at Russia, the vast majority of them are the equivalent of legislative bookkeeping. They are nothing of substance.

The most common are simple names changes of federal properties, or grants of federal properties to cities nearby so they can assume management.

Then come the "award" bills, that grant a medal to someone, or put a statue somewhere.

Then we have a few relatively minor infrastructure funding bills, and a couple changes to how the federal military programs handle training. A couple of these are simple extensions of existing programs (ex: SB4119/SB2102)

Then a few "planning" bills - which basically outline that "something bad" is happening and we should probably attempt to figure out why (ex: SB66). Or the "something bad happened, we know why, it's mostly been addressed, but congress will pass a bill anyway to look good" (ex: HB3182)

-----

Basically, I take away from your comment that you're actually agreeing with the top poster, and you simply don't know it.

> We don’t hear about them because Congress agrees and does it job is not interesting or newsworthy.

Yes - they passed a bunch of bills that are not interesting because there is nothing substantial in them - they mostly just don't matter. They are COMPLETELY business as usual. No attempt to address the more critical issues that we face.

Conspicuously absent? Climate action, Tech regulation, Energy funding and independence (again - outside of the context of russia). Basically - few of these bills have ANY impact on 99% of us.

They definitely did pass SB4160 though - have to make sure the supreme court is protected in case their decisions blow up in their face.
Google "Tassa patrimoniale Amato 1992". The government directly fetched 0.6% of all current account balances overnight.

Wait what? The US runs a massive trade deficit with the world because it's extremely open about giving other countries access to its markets. The EU doesn't, in some years it actually runs a surplus.

University of Florida tops $1B in research spending, joining elite club
The argument that the payments themselves are a service (while valid) has to be broadly competitive with the mainstream alternative.

So for "securing the network" crypto is very, very clearly less secure than conventional payments. (Far more hacks, defaults, and not centrally backed by government).

And the fees charged are vastly more and vastly slower.

The service is therefore so much worse at such a higher cost that it seems more like the arbitrary product that a Multi Level Marketing firm ostensibly sells than a real offering. (And the only real USP of "enables criminal activity" is not a valid USP that anyone should allow or touch.)
By this logic every company is a monopoly, as they have a monopoly on their own product.
I'm not trying to explain high oil prices, I'm trying to explain why US oil producers aren't quickly ramping up production despite the high prices.

From April 2021-22, US oil production increased by just 400K barrels per day, compared to 1.4M from April 2017-18 and 1.6M from April 2018-19.

And prices were lower back then.

> Apple is previewing a groundbreaking security capability that offers specialized additional protection to users...

That's an amazing marketing spin. It's not their admittance of failure of engineering to make the features secure, no, it's a groundbreaking security capability! To be fair, I do appreciate that they acknowledge the problem in the first place and are trying to do something about it.
Hey thanks for your perspective and a couple of mentions of software I'd not heard of (like tcpclient).

I agree that curl is pretty big and bloated. I would not call it a deficiency that Links et al. don't depend on it.

I mostly just was thinking that since I already have curl on my system, it'd be nice to have a browser that reuses that code. Especially since curl has upstream support for the much smaller BearSSL rather than depending on OpenSSL/LibreSSL.

If it's all one codebase that isn't split for deployment, it's still very much a monolith. The distinction between monolith and microservices isn't how many deployments you have, it's how many deployment units. If the app is stateless, replication is strictly an operations concern, so from a developer perspective a single stateless deployment unit is a monolith.

An org might deploy a complete copy of the monolith for a single tenant, and it would still be a monolithic architecture.
> what does it mean to be a US company?

Easy enough question to answer by looking at the beneficial owners of a company's stock. I'd wager every "US company" as commonly understood is, in addition to being listed on US stock exchanges, headquartered in the US, and having significant operations in the US, is also majority-owned by American citizens.
Nevertheless, that's a pretty common term when the compute portion of the application is a single tier, but that doesn't mean that the tier can't scale over many stateless compute nodes.
Today I learned! Wow!
Increasingly it seems like people who should know better (i.e. HN) don't realize that the people of the past were just as smart and resourceful as us but with different resources at their disposal and that the people of the future will likely have some much better solutions for things you think you are solving intelligently now.
Getting into the process that does the message parsing is only the first step in a full exploit chain. Usually processes, even the unprivileged ones, have direct access to the kernel. So if there is a bug in there for example, you can exploit the kernel as a second step. Alternatively, you exploit a bug in the IPC interface with the messaging app. Etc.
In a perfect world, perhaps, but that's why mechanical chases are engineered in the blueprints. If an HVAC installer comes in after the plumbing or electrician & pipes or wires are in the 'no-go' zone, guess who gets to re-do their run(s)? It isn't the metal installer.

You know, I don't think I tested specific pages when I put the Tor meta support in. That's a fairly recent addition I was messing around with.

It's a '<meta http-equiv="onion-location"' tag, and it points to the base URL even on the blog pages. I'll get that fixed to point to the actual page of interest (should be easy enough in Jekyll to just re-render things). It's handled client side in your browser, so you should be able to tell the browser to ignore that.l

But as far as I can tell, the Onion address is up and operating.
You can't just change the format. Then it's not the same sport. It's like saying we should change football (soccer), reduce the field size, make goals bigger and reduce play time to 60 mins. Then it's not football anymore, it's another sport.

If Magnus doesn't want to play this sport anymore, it's his decision, and totaly understandable. But don't try to change like a century of tradition (much like the rules of chess).

This is (good BTW) "pure financial theory".

But the assumption here is that the replacement bridge is built "overnight" or however without altering in any way the normal traffic on and around it, which is very rarely the case, more likely you should expect months or years (of course depending on the size/complexity of the bridge) of limitations/difficulties with the city traffic, noise, dust and all the issues usually connected with construction sites.

This is an indirect (hidden) cost of all kind of infrastructures that the population/users will have to bear.
