Recently I've realized that if I want the local businesses I love to continue to exist, I need to be willing to give them some of my money. I've definitely developed a better relationship with a few local business owners by purchasing there regularly.

A lot of stuff may be listed cheaper online, but it's important to remember that customer service, atmosphere, and convenience* also factor into the price. I'd rather pay a small premium to enjoy a pleasant shop than pay for shipping from somewhere online.

*Convenience cuts both ways. I don't have Prime or anything like that so a local shop is the only way to get something same-day, but I recognize that I do have to leave the house and probably drive somewhere.

> The role used to be called "Personnel," back when people were expected to be treated as persons.

Was that before the 8 hour work day became standard? Was that before businesses were forced to stop exploiting child labor? It seems like a lot of progress has been made where things are much more humane now than they were historically. I think a more compelling argument here is that a large number of employers throughout history have been thinking of employees as cogs in a machine. I don't know that there was ever some worker utopia where they were treated like real people en masse.

> Dems appeal among actual working class people (read: usually minorities who don't own quarter million dollar trucks) remains extremely strong.

The latest NYT/Siena poll suggests exactly otherwise for the coming midterms. Dems carry the white college-educated vote by a substantial margin and lose all working-class groups (non-college-degree, lower income) to Reps.

The message is that the Democratic Party as of now caters to those who are financially well enough off that social ("woke") issues matter more than economic issues.
I never said anything about breathing. I'm talking about access food, shelter, security. These aren't even remotely comparable to breathing, because they rely on the labour of other people to maintain consistent access to. Farms don't get planted without help from neighbors, houses don't get built, towns don't stay safe and clean and happy without a lot of work from a lot of people. Don't even get me started about indoor plumbing, or the internet.

Even if you are willing to go back in time to a simple farm in a small town, you are still taking for granted that you will have people helping you survive. And you still aren't entitled to their labour. They will help you plant your field if you help them plant theirs. The scale of our society has changed, but the transactions haven't.

In any case, you seem dead set on misrepresenting or misunderstanding what I'm saying. If you're not going to address my actual arguments, then kindly get lost. You're wasting my time
Agree. Fast is good, but content is better.

If you can give me super content medium fast, I'll take that over medium content super fast. It's really only at the extremes do things start to differ (ie shit content or snails pace slow & glitchy).

Of course, the ideal setup is super content super fast, which is why Craigslist is probably never going to do a major rebrand. They already have plenty of startups constantly nipping at their heels, so they may as well maintain the super fast advantage they have over them to cement their status. Their only real threat would be a super speedy, super pretty, site that somehow launches full of good content.
So if I want to give land to a friend, I can be forced to sell it if one of these groups have shown interest? That sounds very strange

As long as that meeting is with your recruiter. As someone conducting technical interviews, I have no idea how much is on the table for candidates (I mean, I kind of know in general for the role, but not specifically).
A single Javelin missile costs $170M. It's impossible to disagree with you.

However, given that Russia is using chips from laundry machines and microwaves (the type of information that makes me seriously question their hypermissile claims), I do think that we are getting great results if you ignore bang for buck.

You think this is true, and might even be willing to go through the motions for the money, but if I expect you to truly love what you do and look for ways to improve the quality and throughput of your manure handling operations the money is not a good indicator or motivator.
Right. So my kids are into both the Roblox and the Minecraft and that's kind of what got me here; I'm thinking that Microsoft could (very) theoretically have had a long term "Marketplace" vision for Minecraft that looks like the best of what Roblox is today.

(I mean, this is a huge pipe dream. MS has always had the resources but literally has never had anything remotely close to a vision like this)

My reading of the article is an application of Chesterton’s Fence to so-called cognitive biases. Not to see them as a mere defect, or proof of our fallibility. But to instead look for the objective for which they perhaps truly are the most reasonable solution.

Example from the article:

> Many costly signals are inherently wasteful. Money, time, or other resources are burnt. And wasteful acts are the types of things that we often call irrational. A fancy car may be a logical choice if you are seeking to signal wealth, despite the harm it does to your retirement savings. Do you need help to overcome your error in not saving for retirement, or an alternative way to signal your wealth to your intended audience? You can only understand this if you understand the objective.
Not experienced with Postgres and its ecosystem unfortunately, but all those Postgres extensions popping up on hn lately certainly make me envious. To someone with more insight: How risky is it to rely on those extensions? I guess rust handles the 'accidental data corruption or crashes' aspect. How difficult is it to continue to use such an extension once the original author walks away? Is the extension API somewhat (or perfectly?) stable? Given that this example probably mostly used in CHECK contraints, I guess it could be fairly easy removed or replaced from a running installation?
It has nothing to do with culture. It is simply a reflection of the supply demand curves for labor giving labor buyers much more negotiating power.

In the same way when you sit down to play a boardgame with someone and they draw extra cards, fudge die rolls, and flip over the table when a turn goes against them: they're no longer playing the agreed-on game at that point, and you and the other players don't have to accept their behavior as part of the play.

There is a baseline set of rules (in the USA we have the Constitution) for how the game works. Like a person's freedom to swing their arm, a voter's freedom on what to vote for must stop at the limit of the other voters' rights. The "Tyranny of the Majority" is a related concept as well.
i'm not fond of commenting on hn-as-marketing-channel posts, even if it's within the bounds of the guidelines, but here goes...

> "I don't try to assess character because I don't think you can effectively."

> "My typical strategy is to just hire and fire quickly. I don't do interviews, and I just hire someone for a small job (5-10 hours) and see how they do."

to restate, you can't assess character in a few meetings/interviews, as there's just not enough data (it's well within the honeymoon period of any human relationship). humans are quite good at assessing character over the long term however. your "typical strategy" is employed, or at least should be, to mitigate the inability to assess character in the short run.

but, you didn't employ that strategy in your situation. fire fast would have been after they didn't deliver the first set of assets--you'd give them one more chance (with fair and direct warning), and after that, they should have been gone. instead, you kept at it for many more months. you failed to manage your own project, and that's really the bottom line learning here, not all the other stuff you wrote about. by the time you did fire them, you had enough data to assess their character and fired them based on that, rather than employing your fire-fast strategy.

that's not to try to condemn you in any way, as management is ambiguous and surprisingly complex (NP hard), but you left a gaping management hole that the agency filled with their own priorities and goals. i've been on both sides of this coin, and one of the unobvious inefficiencies of outsourcing is the need for twice the management (on each side). your solution to just hire a freelancer would work, not because it's a small project and you'd be "rightsizing", but because it'd make it obvious and necessary that you'd be actively managing the project.
I also hate how Nest only let me download at most 7 days of "historical" data. They have the rest of my historical data, but I can't get a copy of my own data.
Happily, they actually closed all the existing ATV trails that went anywhere near the bird habitat. And the ATV woodlot itself was not a significant conservation target. (And the ATV use was long-standing.)

A successful local land trust relies on both small donations and a certain measure of political support. Many towns exempt them (partially or fully) from property taxes, so I feel it's admirable for them to look for ways to serve the entire community. Probably very few land trusts will ever find themselves owning ATV trails. But it's good for them to think about what public needs they can serve, even if the answers are sometimes surprising.
Also how did you prevent people finding both postings? When searching for jobs if identical they will appear in the same list. Also the smart ones applying will apply on the one without because of all the various biases that the poster has and they will play some reverse psychology.

i saw a good demonstration of this at Russia's Expo 2020 pavilion in Dubai:

https://www.expo2020dubai.com/en/understanding-expo/particip...

they basically set up cameras where the various animals' eyes would be. they also added some filters in order to mimic animal sight. you would then get to see the feed via a display.

here's a video i've found on youtube that shows what i mean:

> Oh, but not enough people will be interested at the minimum?

It's way worse than that. I recently had the displeasure of reading one of the dumbest thread of comments on a linkedin post because the job description did exactly that: mention the minimum salary.

It was a job post for a "seo and social media manager" position which can mean a lot of things, can mean everything and can mean nothing, depending on many factors (eg: company size, number of customers). The (minimum) pay was 20 k€ (south europe).

Everybody was looking at the number, no one had even considered it was the bare minimum and that maybe the original company was looking for some 20-something fresh out of high school, which no particular set of competencies.
This is amusing as I live next door to Cupertino and would never have noticed this, even though I spent the first half of my life in New England. As Mark Twain once said, "one of the brightest gems in the New England weather is the dazzling uncertainty of it."

But I'm truly a Californian now. The idea of the weather being random or having enough rain to bother distinguishing variations is just not something I've thought about in years.

Microclimates though, are still weird to me. 30 minutes in any direction from where I live can change the temperature either way by 10 degrees or more. You dress according to location and time of day. Checking the weather once a week is plenty.
> the most creatively productive when I had a longer planning horizon

I feel the same way. I've never been in academia, but everything he said matches the negative incentive structures I've always seen in the corporate world. For the most part, the incentive structures are designed to catch cheaters (or "slackers"), but since actually discovering and creating something is virtually indistinguishable from "slacking", it just doesn't get done.
Yes, the attacker would watch every transaction on the blockchain for their bits. Not hard to do, since there are just a few transactions per second.

Interesting idea with the bias checking. Not sure if it is possible. If it is, it would probably need very clever software to do that. One that bombards the hardware wallet with a big number of seeds and transactions and checks if it can find indications of the seeds having an impact on the signatures.
> I think he means that I link to some published rate metrics

Depends, sometimes people mean "justify by referring to our shared project history, context, process & logic" as opposed to business-world metrics. Which to a lot of people is more impactful for negotiating.

So you could say, look. Here's what I've done on this project so far. I've made it possible to do this, that, and the other. I'm already up to speed, which took years, and I know it inside and out. I see the following benefits of working with me in the future (examples). My rate is $$$ but I'm aware that this is below industry right now, for people who can do what I do (recapped above).

The last sentence would help you contextualize the impossibility or improbability of finding someone who can look at your work and tell you exactly what dollar amount you're worth on the hourly.

Regardless this is really important for you from a relationship standpoint, often the unspeakable elephant in the room for business. Their response to even the sloppiest negotation you can produce will help you understand your next set of moves compared to what you thought they'd be, and that is really helpful to know. Good luck.
Given the speed with which they grew last two years I expect their financial and security processes to be next to nothing.

This is just tip of an iceberg.

Sounds like wild accusations to me. Id like to think the company executives have high integrity and maybe they caught others we havent heard of.

> They're using the fact that you can become "root" in a new namespace

That privilege can actually be taken away. But probably no one will do that unless you are hardening against specific situation.

The linux caps has many level of access of a certain cap.

For example: is it activated now? can it be activated by me? Will that be inherited by my children process? Can i regain it by su or creating new namespace?

If you take away the last one. Then the process and any child process of specific process won't be able to regain the cap ever again.

Ask HN: How do you manage shared code across microservices?
We are moving off our legacy monolithic architecture to a microservice based architecture. We are about four years into the project and we have 200 distinct microservices.

When we first started out on this endeavor we created a parent POM called common-service. This POM declares dependencies such as Hibernate, Spring Boot, and some homegrown common libraries (the most important being a JAR that handles service discovery, rather than each service having to implement service discovery on their own).

Now that we have 200 services running in production, it is a difficult to roll out new versions of common-service for a variety of reasons - some teams don't have the capacity, some teams prioritize business requirements over upgrades, etc.

How do you handle this in your organization? Do you have shared code across your microservices? Is it an anti-pattern to share code across microservices?

PS: We are going to start implementing Kubernetes. Kubernetes will require many changes to our common-service codebase so I figured I would see if anyone had any good ideas out there.

Thank you.
This website basically says that 6 companies use Alexa, for HIPAA purposes - that they are allowing CEs and BAs access to an environment that Amazon attests is capable of being HIPAA compliant. That's a long way from the statement that "Amazon is HIPAA compliant".

>>>>Amazon Alexa is currently providing a HIPAA eligible environment to select skill developers as part of an invite-only program in the U.S. In the future, we expect to enable additional developers to access this capability to build healthcare skills, allowing more customers to access healthcare services more conveniently using voice.

What's amusing about my field is that while much of the rigor was lost (computational biology in the 90s was very CS-rigorous), what we've learned is that deep networks beat any human features, none of the rigors of chomsky hierarchy really matter to find interesting biology, and you don't even need to know how to differentiate because that's automatic now.
> I think I overspent on this project, but I attribute it more to poor communication and poor management than the devs working too slowly.

That is still using time ineffectively. If they are working on something other than what needs to be done, that is the same as doing nothing.
Thanks for reading!

>I hate to be blunt but you got scammed. Of course hindsight is 20/20 but I feel like you're approaching this the wrong way if your first reaction was to schedule a call with the scammer and amicably discuss where things went wrong.

Yeah, I'm not sure if I'm suffering from Stockholm Syndrome or if it's just easier for me to empathize with the agency having worked with them face-to-face, but I still think the events are explainable without assuming the agency was dishonest. Hanlon's Razor and all that. I think they overestimated their ability to scale down their workflows to a project of my size, and the rest was just a consequence of that incorrect prediction.

>Also the only mention of a contract I could find was at the end when discussing termination. It's one of the conclusions you drew, but it's crazy that the scope, deliverables and timetable were not clearly defined, especially if you are paying upfront.

Part of the problem was that the boundary between "rebranding" and "redesigning" is subjective. I suppose I could have said, "You're only allowed to change fonts, colors, and the logo, but you're not allowed to adjust layout," but that felt too restrictive. I agree with their argument that we should adjust the design a little bit to fit a new brand.

And if I wanted to, I could have scoped back down to a rebrand in December. In retrospect, that's what I should have done. But I felt like even though the designs went beyond the scope I asked for, they looked pretty good and they were 80% done, so we might as well just use them.

Funny, Apple pretty much invented the scrollbar. Well, they copied a lot of the GUI ideas from the Xerox Star which had a scrollbar, but it was quite different. The currently almost universal one with a handle that indicates relative position and that you can drag with the mouse was first seen in the Apple Lisa, I think.

Also, it's not only Apple that seems to hate the scrollbar nowadays. I'm seeing lots of apps (especially electron apps) that don't show a scrollbar until you mouse over it, and what's worse is that there are often multiple scrollbars for different screen areas/frames, but it's not entirely obvious which is which, and you have to do mouse-overs for them to even appear.

It is the same on Netflix. I have phases where I watch a certain genre for a few weeks and then move on. For example after a few Scandi crime series it is time for something else. However, at the same time my daughter loves Animé and pretty only watch that. It is really hard for an ML algorithm to grab these nuances.

>> You don't in the US. A defendant is presumed innocent and needs to be proven guilty by a finder of fact. What needs to be shown is that the poster posted a statement that he knew was false.

Except this isn't about the US and the person you're responding to hasn't mentioned the US. This is about a lawsuit in New Zealand, where the burden of proof is not on the plaintiff, it's on the defendant to prove that they sincerely believed what they wrote. Hence the question.
