DocuSign did ~$2.4B annual revenue [1].

So each employee generates ~$320k annual revenue ($2.4B / 7,400), which sounds about right.

SaaS companies typically do low $100,000s per employee per year.

That's only the problem you know about. The problem you don't know about is your TV is watching (and listening) to you. Put a cheap computer between your TV and the internet. Always buy the dumbest TV available. But dumb TVs now cost more than smart TVs. Dumb TVs make it difficult for the manufacturer to make money off you after the sale.
If enough people want this outcome, then this can motivate our legislators to impose this legal requirement. Consumers in some countries have better conditions not because of the benevolence of distributors but because legislators treat consumer-friendly legislation as good PR for (re)elections.

There are a bunch of other annoying complexities with dealing with Japanese text like halfwidth/full-width characters: depending on what you're doing you may have to account for additional stuff like ｱ instead of ア, or Ａ instead of A. Ideally these wouldn't actually be used (this formatting should not be done at the character set level) but since they were included in unicode for backwards compatibility reasons, they do unfortunately get used a fair amount.

Also I guess this isn't specific to Japanese, but if you use normalization in NFD form, the modifiers like handakuten get split into separate characters (I don't think most people ever use unicode normalization but iirc mac filesystem paths are normalized so it can be really confusing when you do actually run into it).

Companies love to bundle their announcements together like this for some reason, though I wish they wouldn't. We end up downweighting the follow-ups because (a) too much repetition is uninteresting and (b) it leads to off-topic complaints like the OP. Note that (a) and (b) are directly related.

I tell YC startups not to do this, though by the time YC startups get big enough to think corporate thoughts like "let's bundle our announcements together", they usually stop listening to us.

I work for a company that build embedded systems, commonly on a core family of processors. The way we get around this is to have an ever-expanding core set of reusable software that can be customized for each project. At the beginning of a project, you fork that core and add it to your project. If you identify a bug in the core, then you discuss it with the maintainers, do a PR and the fix gets merged back for everyone to use. Similarly for extensions that are likely to be usable across the company. Stuff that's only relevant to your project stays on your fork.

It's not perfect, but it saves an amazing amount of duplicated work. The problem is getting to be that the framework is getting big enough that people new to the company don't always know what's in it, and accidentally end up implementing something that already existed. We're still working on a solution to this.

It gives me hope for the future to see commenters on HN, a forum made by a VC company to talk about VC funding, dunk on companies for taking VC funding. Any tech enthusiast who has been around long enough has seen VCs and acquisitions eventually destroy everything they've ever loved. Our incredible journey, indeed: https://ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com/

The question is, can we organize around alternatives to the VC model, and build communities with control over their own destiny, instead of having the rug pulled out from under them repeatedly due to the whims of capital (and founders securing the bag)?

The concept of "exit to community" appeals to me, but unfortunately I see crypto grifters / DAOs trying to take over any "decentralization" narrative. Unless the crypto crash wipes those scammers out, I fear the community may flee from VC scammers into the arms of crypto scammers, new boss same as the old boss.

I hope that we can build some sort of cooperative movement that can avoid the "world domination or acquisition" pressure from VCs, while also avoiding weird technocratic "fixes" like DAOs. There's no replacement for organizing and community, tech cannot replace that difficult and necessary work of marshalling people to pull together in the same direction, accept no substitutes or "shortcuts."

I have an LG TV with WebOS. It's connected to the internet and I use it to watch Netflix, Prime, etc.

There's a "recommended" strip on the home page that shows various movies/tv shows from streaming services, and that's pretty much it as far as ads go.
I believe this is a subject that is not talked about enough. First because of a) If you haven't experienced it or paid close attention it will go over your head and b) People don't like to openly talk about 'pretty privilege' because they think the mere act of talking about it will inherently catalogue them as 'ugly'.

I have firsthand experience on this since I grew up with a brother who is objectively hot, and of course hotter than me. And Im not talking 'yea hot' im talking 'way better looking than models' hot, we literally couldn't go anywhere without a girl approaching one way or another, and thats crazy to say about a guy.

Since a young age i realized our social interactions always tended to gravitate towards him, and understood as I was already seeing, he was going to get better opportunities, and would have to work way less for the same objectives. What I did was I started taking advantage of it. p.e, when we were younger i used to bring him to work with me wherever I was working, cause I knew the reactions he provoked on people. So whenever we worked at the same place I never got fired bc usually the manager was either in love with him if it was a girl, or wanted to be friends with him if it was a guy. I admit it was funny seeing the same reactions on people every single time they met him, and their behavioral changes towards me, and thats just a small example.

What im saying is life is mostly unfair. The best we can do is work with the cards we're dealt towards the best we can do.
At home? Heat a cast-iron skillet on the burner, with a pat of butter to melt. Cut two slices of whole-grain bread and spread each inside face with Dijon mustard. Assemble the sandwich with a healthy portion of Muenster or Havarti. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on each outside face and drop into the heated skillet. Toast on each side until both are browned. Cut on a diagonal and eat with tomato soup.

At festivals, I like to make people grilled cheese sandwiches with a flamethrower, rapid-fire, as a late-night performance thing. The ingredients are much simpler: bags of sliced bread, boxes of Kraft singles, and cooking spray.

One at a time, each hungry person pops their slices of bread and cheese into a long-handled campfire panini press. They hold the press out and away, then I light it up with the flamethrower for a 30 count. On my signal, they flip the press over, and I hit it again for 30 more seconds. Ta-da! The sandwich is ready. Pop it out, spritz the inside of the press with cooking spray, and the next person in line steps up to take their turn.

It's a lot of fun - the light and noise of the flamethrower attracts a lot of attention. People come to watch the show, then stick around to get a sandwich for themselves.
Do you automate your pentesting? If not, let's talk.
we need less superhero movies, more independent content that is there for the sake of itself, and not for the sake of making money.

tying money to art cheapens it.

art is priceless, attaching a price therefore is a regression.

Not everything is about money, not everything needs to be done.

better that it is free: if you couldn't sell movies - the only ones that would exist are the ones people truly wanted to make - the quality of the artform would skyrocket, even if the quantity plummets.
I can't quite imagine you not understanding this from what I wrote, but for me "making things for people" includes "making things better for people".
That you are prevented from easily defeating any "copy protection" on content means the device one which you download and view that content is not fully controlled by you. Content publishers can reach into systems owned by you and relied on by you for financial transactions and health care information and mess around with data on your system. This is a designed-in security defect.

This does not meet the plain English meaning of "equal protection under law." Your property, your data, access to your money, your health records, etc. is not controlled by you in what should be a symmetrical and equal way.

In some contexts, like game consoles that are heavily subsidized by content revenue, content protection is a fair element of that deal. But not on systems you paid full price to own outright. Acts like deleting purchases should be treated as unauthorized access, and punished accordingly, no matter the click-through "agreement."
I was countering the idea that was being repeated throughout this thread which was "of course it couldn't be Russia who did this, it is they who stand to benefit if it is functioning". This conclusion is errorsome for all kinds of reasons as there are plenty of motivations for why Russia and more specifically Putin would do such a thing.
Reading through some of the translated stuff, it seems they refer to men as "dicks" (I think this is a diminutive to imply that men are just disgusting penises, not the English slang for "dick" being an arsehole/cunt) and "parasites" and advocate violence against them for breathing too loudly.
My understanding is that a refresh rate high enough to make typing bearable wipes out the energy saving advantage of e-ink, and that ghosting would be excessive.

I think this whole thread is very indicative of why programmers shouldn't design a product. I've been reading through the article and comments trying to figure out what "ads" were being referenced and then I finally realized people must be talking about the ads for TV shows and movies...

I think the average consumer would much rather have a TV that they simply connect to their wifi and then get Netflix, YT, Disney+, etc as opposed to hooking up some sort of computer or streaming box via hdmi to get the TV to work. I also think the average consumer doesn't find ads for TV shows and movies that show up on their TV intrusive. I mean, that's essentially what every streaming app does already isn't it? It just shows potential shows and movies. Why would they get upset that their TV does the same thing?

What I do think is intrusive and disgusting is the fact that Samsung will happily take screenshots of what you're watching and send telemetry. The random ads for movies that show up are the least of my concerns.
It was years back, I don't think I could find it again. I wish I saved it. Finding the company in the first place was a rabbit hole project. If my memory is correct is was in Brazil.

I really should start a blog for some of the weird research I do sometimes.
I went through this process - we bought a "TV" and found it impossible to fight off "watch this" trailers appearing and enticing our little one.

The only solution is to buy "business or gaming monitors" - no built in TV, just connect up a apple box and be done with it.

Even then you can tell Apple is moving from "here is a button to press" to "let us decide what you are interested in"

(Tangent but it's noticeable that the stuff I have bought from Apple Itunes like a kids movie is several clicks away, but the latest movie that I have not bought but will need to pay for is right there on the home screen. No. That's the wrong way round. If I reach up to my bookshelf and the bookshelf needs me to climb a ladder and reach over the books for sale to get to my own darn book, the bookshelf is not doing it's job.

Apple. Be a bookshelf. I paid for a bookshelf.
There is _absolutely_ a future for you in Software Engineering, you just need to find the right fit or the right pair.

For instance, my skills and strengths are in some sense the inverse of yours. :) I enjoy building things, I dare say I'm quite good at it, and I get no reward out of work when I'm not building things. I do most things from "first principles", and am the sort who learns a language from the specification and takes months if not years before I can create.

I've had the privilege in the past of being paired with engineers with a completely complementary set of skills. People who can parachute into a new codebase, in a _language they don't even know_ and hack stuff together in a week or two. People who can treat a codebase like a black or grey box and still deliver value.

Every single time (okay, all of "twice" ;)) I've been matched up with someone like that, our combined output working together is beyond what either of us could accomplish alone.

If you have experience doing "Brendan Gregg style" performance engineering (if you know perf like the back of your hand, for example) I'd love to chat more....
Get an LG. Picture quality is just as good, and bugger all ads.

I will never buy anything from Samsung ever again.
You need to provide data behind this claim.

Not only you need major mistakes by multiple people and systems for two planes to touch while taxing, but two planes colliding even in an apparently minor way is enough to ground the planes for controls.
You underestimate how many people buy that ~3k TV on credit and for whom an extra ~150 bucks for an Apple TV is actually non-trivial money.

In fact that's the reason these ads are there - a lot of people can't be convinced to use an external device to escape them. If everyone used Apple TVs/etc, there would be no built-in ads because it's just not worth the trouble.
when in doubt, doubt DRM's necessity.
> I hate it when movies look like cheap sitcoms on modern TVs

This really is the trope about LCD TVs that will not die. I blame the manufacturers.

Yes, it looks terrible. It’s called motion smoothing (or something like it) and it’s often switched on - for reasons I cannot possibly fathom - when TVs are in demo mode and/or in the showroom.

And it is absolutely trivial to disable. Most any modern TV is either fully capable of playing 24p / 30p and 60p at native frame rate, or playing 60p at native, 30p at half-rate and 24p at 3:2 pulldown, in each case without any interpolated frames muddying the native presentation. It looks perfectly great (while 3:2 pulldown is perceived as juddery by some, that’s an issue any projector incapable of either 120hz or native 24p would also share).

There are loads of legitimate reasons to prefer projectors over flat panels (and vice versa); motion smoothing is not one of them.

IPv4-compatible (all zeroes in front of IPv4 address) addresses are deprecated. They were intended for automatic tunneling (see RFC 1933/2893, it’s about tunneling IPv6 through IP4-only networks) which was deprecated in favour of 6to4 (RFC 3056, 2002::/16).

IPv4-mapped addresses are supported, depending on your network stack (I think for example OpenBSD doesn’t allow it for security reasons), but only to have a combined socket listening to both IPv4 and IPv6.

NAT64 is what you want I guess, but there is no requirement for a prefix (in a sense you can choose who handles the 6-to-4 translation by choosing the prefix). There is a “well-known” prefix though: 64:ff9b::/96

NAT64 is often combined with a DNS server translating A records into the corresponding AAAA records (DNS64). I don’t know whether they solved how that works together with DNSSEC though
Oh, the moral card. Morals are highly context-dependent and vary across the population and social classes. There is no consensus on the idea "reading books without paying for them is immoral". It may be - if the person reads all books by some author, can afford to pay, but never does, then it does smell like bad behaviour. But not everybody behaves like this.

Most books I download and read are some scholarly or technical stuff, where I read maybe one or two pages that interest me and then never open the book again for a year.

I could never get all the books from stone-walled library or buy them all. But fortunately I do not have to, they are all available in the Public Library called the Web, and using this is beneficial to me, and harmless to anybody else.

Did not expect this outcome though.

What are the chances of such an event without a much more specific controller event-chain design than that described in the first quote?

I mean, lots of things have gone haywire leading to explosions before. But record-setting explosions, at a coincidence of a seemingly haywire configuration of pressures? Seems pretty low on the probability scale.
