Sure, which is why I provide 3 years of OS support, according to my business capability. That’s my contribution. Like, you can’t force me 15 years of product support (EU will demand it!). For that, we sit and come up with a joint international trade agreement under which the contribution of each party to addressing the externality in question is specified. The common rules of the play are found in a joint agreement, not unilateral punitive measures.

This approach can be expanded on and on. Like, the phones are too expensive, they must be below this price point that I have determined, etc.

Spitfire Audio. Ableist and transphobic remarks. The ableist remarks are regarding autism.

Calling it a "mental state" isn't correct either, it is a neurodevelopmental condition.

Whilst you don't think you need to answer "yes" to have an opinion, you degrade the signal-to-noise ratio with your words when there are the voices of others who need to be heard.

If you don't have anything supportive or constructive to say, then it is the time to sit, listen, read and learn.

Of course, the cishet white dude doesn't understand bigotry and the concept of fighting for the right to exist because you have never been marginalized.

Even a 6.7 likely has a few people giving it 1/10, a few people giving it 3/10 and a few people giving it 10/10. I have probably rated a couple of things 1/10 out of the 20 odd ratings I may have provided IMDB, but that does not make me angry, just that the particular topic (move, series, episode) somehow seemed to waste my time, but someone else may feel otherwise.

> Giving it a 3/10 means that series needs to live up to some kind of standard that other series don't need to live up to.

Whatever standard people used to give 3/10 to Xena could be used to give 1, 3 or 10. The problem is we do not know who is a genuine critic, and who is just a hater (or a complete aficionado) unless we start doing some kind of meta-analysis which is what Amazon seems to be trying to do, as long as they do it consistently.

Do you consider the amount that the US spends per capita on healthcare relative to other countries for the same standard of care a "failure" of the healthcare industry? Or is there some other reason healthcare "just costs more" here?

Also wondering what you think a solution is - single-payer for better and simpler price negotiations, or some other approach?

My main concern is if we're spending 20% of GDP on something other countries accomplish with 10%, then that's a huge waste, especially in a country with a larger total GDP pool.

Honestly I'm surprised how can they still find enough morally bankrupt people to work for them. The pay might be good, but it's not like anyone working there couldn't find a similarly well paid job at a similar company.
Local storage is also cleared on the same schedule, or else it could be used as a substitute for cookies.
It was pretty difficult to use 64GB of RAM on my old desktop. 95% of my usage was Firefox and the occasional game. The only things that actually utilized that RAM were After Effects and Cinema 4D, which I only use as a hobby. I felt kinda dumb buying that much RAM up until I got into AE and Cinema 4D because most of it just sat there unused.
It's much easier to go sideways fast at height of 10km. That's why rockets start vertically (go up), and only later in height they tilt to "go sideways".
That is a good point, I never thought deeply about that. As far as I know, Ukraine NATO relationships still progressed even after 2014. So even though an actual membership was not possible for essentially technical reasons, the intention was still there and progress was arguably made. So maybe the situation was not judged as satisfactory, no official membership but a defacto membership in the making. Other contributing reasons like resources including water for Crimea.
You might have to replace the combustor.
I hate KeePass so much at work. But we still have to use it because our security leadership insist on it. It's not a bad tool for a home user with one PC but it's totally inadequate for an enterprise scenario. But they keep insisting it's safe because it's been audited and the encryption is strong. Sure but what's the point of encryption if you store the password in a text file in the same folder or in some cases in the actual filename :(

I've compiled a huge list of issues to convince them. Like no audit logs. No password complexity enforcement. No single password sharing with third parties (you have to give them the entire thing and password or create a new one which they can open forever). No central overview. We have no idea how many passwords are stored, how well they are secured (the master password) and who they are shared with and when.

Has anyone found a good argument to convince your leadership? And what did you move to?
You're looking at it as though optimising your individual productivity is the ultimate goal.

> I wonder, aren't the majority of HNers working at a for-profit company funded by VCs?

they're probably over-represented given that this is an incubator-adjacent forum but startups are vastly outnumbered by both mature businesses as well as bog-standard privately owned businesses so probably not.

Most firms don't get a hundred million dollars up front, they grow products and revenue just like everyone else, with significantly fewer distortions to users or business models.
This is deeply terrible and naive advice and should be mostly ignored, even (especially) if you agree with the underlying idea. This sort of absolutism doesn't help the problem at all.

Better to consider second order effects. People have lives to live, and connecting with people is the most important thing. You'll actually help more if you DO stay connected and, over time, let them know and offer to help with using a diverse range of communications technology over time.

I've been faced with this choice, more or less, and (in my case) NOT choosing to be a stickler about it (and joining up with people on Discord) has opened up my and their worlds quite a bit.

This is a special case. Which is to say, it's weird that the technology you're trying to get rid of or improve at present still might be the best tool to get it done, but hey.
I previously used MiniKeepass which has been shut down.
My grated to KyPass, which looks good on paper but syncing with Google Drive didn’t work in practice.

The optimizations that went into this must be pretty impressive for it to run as well as it does on my Framework laptop (11th gen, no dGPU). I did have to run it in Chrome since Firefox gets the "unsupported browser" error[0]. Glad I tried it out since typically "I made a voxel engine" wouldn't catch my attention. ;)

It seems so trivial, but I really wish they found a way to support the Serial API.

If I want to flash an ESP32 through the web browser, my only choice (besides installing Chrome) is to boot up Windows and use Edge.
This is a great feature! The company I work for has spent a lot of money trying to use Snyk for this purpose, but it really sucks, and chokes on most of our Go repos go.mod files meaning some of our most important repositories are blind for vulnerability scanning.

We don't get the static code analysis feature from Snyk (where vulnerabilities are raised only when they affect us), because this is an optional paid extra. Now we get it for free!

Snyk really need to up their game with their lacklustre Go support to compete with free.
> Our contracts with our clients prevent "solicitation" i.e. trying to encourage some to leave us to join them.

I have seen same thing, it is no solicitation but if someone joins on their own then it is not a breach of contract. In fact, I learned about this because once I asked one of our vendor (also friend) to apply for a job in our company, in front of my boss. My boss immediately corrected me that we cannot make such a comment.

Later she told me it is totally fine if he applied on his own but any hint of solicitation from us will disqualify him or get us in trouble.

Also with the same vendor, I had seen their people joining our company quite a bit. And they continued to do business with us.
Yes but what Slack does and ICQ didn't is justify a monthly subscription, so it's an improvement you see.
Using an electromagnetically accelerated projectile, such as one from a rail or coil gun, could reduce the cost even further, since no fuel would be required. Has that been considered?
Most of the time it is about being lazy - they just don't want to spend time recreating prod setup on their local.

To quickly fix something a lot of the times it is easier to push debug statements to environment that setup whole shebang on your local.

Most of the times you don't know which part of the system is wrong so yeah you can unit test all you want but if data in database is incorrect you still have to reproduce incorrect data on your local - but you still have to somehow get to know that there is incorrect data somewhere.
LG makes a 43" 4K IPS monitor. It's the centerpiece to my most productive setup, with a 27" in portrait mode serving as a sidecar.

You're correct: The barrier to entry involves vision, hard work, education, and willingness to do what other people are simply unmotivated or too lazy to do.
My understanding (not an expert by any means) is that we basically have two tiers of negotiation - the fed. govt. has way more leverage but also some amount of corruption that goes into pricing, then afterwards individual hospitals and "networks" of providers will negotiate with the insurer - sometimes after the procedure has already happened - to figure out the final price.

The end result is that you might end up with an individual doctor having to work with the insurance company for pricing, so the same procedure can cost vastly different amounts at hospitals down the road from each other providing the same level of care. To make it worse we also have laws preventing healthcare providers from providing prices upfront, out of a fear that people will forego necessary care they can't afford.

Edit: seems like this changed 01-01-2021, now we do have some price transparency laws - https://www.cms.gov/hospital-price-transparency
AirBNB did poorly in the simulator. Losing 23% of it's value.
The term "lab leak" is ambiguous (deliberately I guess) as to whether the virus was modified in the lab before it leaked, or if the lab leaked an unmodified virus.

But the preponderance of evidence is that the leaked virus was modified before it was leaked. The critical spike protein in SARS_CoV2 is coded uses a sequence of amino acids that has never been seen before in any other coronavirus. I forget the names, but there are certain common amino acids that can be coded using several different functionally-identical DNA (RNA) sequences, and the SARS-CoV2 one looks like the sequences used in labs and humans, and never seen before in natural viruses. One nobel laureate in biology described this as a "smoking gun" that this was a lab leak when they first heard about it.
Excited to see how this will turn out, very innovative stuff.
Practices for Creating High-Converting Landing Pages
I remember when the first MacBook Air came out someone, I think it was Jeff Atwood, posted about compile speeds.

The Air had no cooling and an underpowered little CPU so low power Apple had Intel make it just for them.

But you could pay a crazy amount of money for a teeny-tiny SSD instead of a tiny hard drive.

The SSD was so much faster than standard hard drives that machine could compile code faster than the normal MacBook Pros of the day, even though they could hold more ram and had better CPUs.

Gettin go things off disk to the CPU matters a lot. It’s OK if you don’t have enough memory if that pipeline is extremely fast.

The situation may have happened again with the M1 Macs. Not only were they faster than the Intel chips at most things but the on-package memory screams and the storage controller is fantastic.

People have reported those machines at 16GB anecdotally feeling amazing despite having half the ram of other existing machines.

Are we sure they negotiated unique prices with each provider? I wouldn't be surprised if they have a dozen of templates that get replicated every time a new entity accept preexisting price sheet. Basically they have dumped a denormalized data set.
As someone who uses dbt, I would recommend it for an analytics workflow. The templating is useful for shared code, like a CTE you use in multiple places. That said, you don't need to use a lot of templating for it to be useful.

DBT shines, not because of the language/templating, but because it handles a lot of the scut work of building out a data warehouse. Write the select statements you want to populate the model, write tests to constrain the model, and build.

It’s nice, but it’s hard to beat the clarity and expressiveness of dplyr and purrr.
Nature, and evolution, don't follow motive based logic. Random mutations that are temporarily beneficial but are detrimental to the long term do happen.

To put it another way, a cell mutates based off of random chance. It doesn't have desires. We only have to go back as far as 1918 to see an example of a virus that could not have been engineered and was highly transmissible and highly deadly. As you say, in the long term that doesn't work out- the virus in that case mutated to be much more mild- which is why you won't see viruses like that surviving for long. But it still doesn't make sense to assume viruses evolve according to a motivation based logic.

I don't think Dell or HP make their own computers anymore - consumer stuff is all outsourced to Taiwanese/Chinese OEM's (Quanta,Wistron etc ...) - they probably still only make servers in house.

In the absence of a universal recommender system that acts on clustering effects, social networks and link aggregators like HN can really be the next best thing.

It looks like at one point, mozilla attempted to solve this with their context graph project as well as their acquisition of pocket. However, it does look like it has all the hallmarks of a technological solution to a societal problem. Solving the adverserial aspects as well as ethical concerns would require nothing short of a rethinking of how we use the web.

My opinion is that the problem with SF isn’t as much housing. It is more with mental health and drug addiction. You do know where many immigrants live right? It isn’t so much on the streets. It is 16 packed into a single apartment. So the mechanisms people talk about already exist. It is that the homeless can’t work because of mental or social issues that compound with drug abuse. You need to fix the mental issues, social issues, and the drug abuse. The housing helps a little but the underlying problems are still there. I think the results already show this.
Not understanding how they did this. The movement merely supports a license that insists code is available to end users.

Sure, but they can overlap and it's the flamewar bits that we don't want here.
This is where it becomes apparent that the way I use my machine is very different to some folks on here.

It is a Lenovo T400 with 4GB of RAM. In order to maximise the life span of the SSD, I knocked out the swap sector. So that is 4GB, no option to move beyond that.

That said in daily use, I have never seen my usage go anywhere near 3GB but I suspect that is just because I am very frugal with my browsing and keep cleaning up unused tabs.
That is not at all what the reply stated. In fact they explicitly stated that "the mechanism is baked into the system". Then go on to methodically explain what they mean.

It exceedingly well argued and articulated point of view - and that goes to pnf's all other replies.

I salute the author pnf for being able to put into words what I would not be able to.
Ask HN: I am tired of being a manager, how to escape this trap?
I currently work as an M2 (L7) software development manager at a FAANG company. I lead multiple teams (~35 people total) building critical software for the company's infrastructure. Systems that hit millions of transactions per second and have tangible impact in the user experience of millions of customers.

I hate every minute of it.

The long, grueling days sitting in meetings, some of them relevant, but many with just very senior people blabbering and requesting more data and more discussions and more meetings. The inability to do anything technical, being very passionate about system design and coding. The constant complains from my engineers about topics I have no jurisdiction over (TC). I am so tired of it.

I was pushed to management due to being right a few more times than wrong, having good communication skills, and being a kind leader. It's a trap I want to get out of, but I can't figure out how. Fortunately I was still writing code about 3 months ago (different company) so I am still fluent and my skills haven't atrophied. But for 20 years of experience I have, 10+ years in management certainly mean I am not necessarily a "guru" I should be at my age (43). This may signal trouble in the marketplace if I try to find an SDE job.

Another problem is that, with my experience, I may be able only to find a job as an engineer in enterprise software, where engineers don't code. Another trap, judging from how unhappy my engineers are at having to spend their days writing documents for similar meetings to the ones I described above.

I make very high TC (mid-high six figures) but I am willing to give that up for a job where I can just design and write software. I am also ok going down a level or two. I am hell bent on doing it, just need a few ideas of what the next steps could be, anecdotes from people who took the plunge, success/failure stories, all of it. Just shoot it.

I also fully understand that this may be the "grass is greener" effect taking hold, but even if going back to IC is not all that I think it's cut out to be, it will be an improvement to my current professional mental state.

> A public transport commute is no less miserable and is easily 1 hour door to door each way.

Not all public transport is equal. I had a 1 hour commute on BRT (Bus rapid transit) and it was really nice. I would work on the bus or decompress and listen to music. It wasn’t perfect but it’s way less stressful than being in a car in traffic, and having to pay 30 bucks a day for parking.

At the same time I’ve also had to take a city bus for a 15 minute ride and that was unpleasant. So I agree, public transit isn’t always ideal but we can have nice public transit. We can improve our current infrastructure just like cars have improved.
