> From Amazon’s perspective there’s no significance to the fine’s relationship to UK revenue.

This is false. Amazon has the option to stop doing business in the UK, meaning that they lose the revenue, but are not longer to subject to fines from the UK's court system. Amazon very clearly balances the expected costs of doing business in a particular market with the expected benefits.

Similarly, Amazon's use of the practice globally means that they are subject to fines from every market that they operate in. Which you did not count.

> the practice has been ongoing and the calculation of revenue hit should be amortized over the years since inception and discounted for the time value of money

These fines impact Amazon's decision of whether to continue to do the practice today. If the fines start to eclipse their current revenue, it literally does not matter if they'll still have made more money by doing it in the past - they'll cease the activity. Therefore, taking past revenues into account is irrelevant and dishonest.
i'm working on an RFP response that has the word "DevSecOps" sprinkled around here and there. That's an even more subjective and ambiguous term than devops :/
NIMBY? More like the government wants to control and tax everything.
UPS trucks generally avoid left turns whenever possible. They can do the same thing.
Yeah, services should be formed around the needs of data, and you shouldn't run multiple services in the same image/container just to split the code up. It shouldn't ever be about the code.

Amazon's SOA architecture at least all started out about pulling bits of data spread over hundreds of servers into services that could take advantage of caching.
I guess as far as other, older software: I'd need to know your interests or field. How I write software has completely changed at least 5 times, and now I'm deep diving on my 6th (docker/k8s) to deliver the same things I was delivering back in the 80's with software development process one. Actually, add 3 more complete re-wiring of how I write code - I forgot working on game consoles: every new console is a complete start from zero how to write, debug, package and ship software, software that is not that much different than was delivered with the last platform and dev process.
Now I wonder if copyright for source-code should have its own “satire” exception...
Seems to be a strong statement to make - how do you know they don't contribute? Already by paying some form of rent, is that not contribution?
Pretty sweet. As I understand it appearance is simply changed by setting the font-variation-settings and font-palette CSS properties. Is that correct?

I knew someone in S.F. who married a woman from Switzerland roughly 5 years ago and moved out there...did you work at a software consulting company in S.F.?
Its not out yet.
Agreed. I get a rush from designing a system from the ground up and bringing it to life with all the infra, but only when that's necessary. If it's just a basic CRUD app without any major performance or resiliency requirements, I'm more than happy to do as little of that infra work as is necessary to get it into production and move on with my life.
That article is overstating the findings. Killing off 50% of the population can only double the prevalence of a given mutation.

Aka if 20million of 100 million have X, and you kill off 50 million people then at most 20 million people of 50 million people have X. Sure jumping from 20% of the population to 40% of the population is a major change but 20% is already a large percentage of the population.
Even if a company designed, built, and marketed their own product in house, Amazon can take the business data they possess such as detailed sales flows, customer activity and supply chains to swoop in. This data normally unavailable to a competitor gives them the advantage.
It should be possible to generate a Client from the Swagger (OpenAPI) specification. Pick a language you like, generate the client and setup the end-to-end (e2e) tests for the API.

In Go I do this for gRPC using the build-in unit tests of the language.

It'll be painful but once complete you can hammer away at the code with a sledgehammer and know you didn't break endpoints if the tests pass.

He’s obviously angling for a national platform, picking silly sound-bite fights with people like DeSantis. My guess is that he runs for president, fails somewhat spectacularly due to just this issue, and then steps back into the position of senator for as long as he likes. Quite possibly for life, just like Boxer and Feinstein. It’s what I would do in his shoes. It would also give him the platform to launch another presidential campaign whenever it feels right. How many times did Biden run for president?
It absolutely can and it sounds to me you're not even than capable of using an easy to use distribution like Ubuntu.
Yeah, good luck with that. Nearly nobody installs apps from outside Google Play.
> i.e. try to do a snap refresh while firefox is running, nothing to update, because its running, quit it wait for all processes to die and then refresh, and it will update and cause you to wait 30-60s while it does it, and then you can restart firefox.

Oh, it's worse than that. When there is an update available but firefox is running you get:

> % snap refresh

> All snaps up to date.

It doesn't even tell you there is an update and that you need to close firefox to get it. In fact, it tells you there isn't one.

Usually, when an architecture astronaut gets involved, the business details are immediately lost in the overwhelming slop of what has been built.

And usually, the people having to deal with this crap are ones who have never dealt with the system in the first place, and the business people and the technical people are both gone from the company…
> WTF is the difference between an "in-house cloud" and a shared-use datacenter from the 1990's?

Resident of SF perspective here.

SF has problems. The recent FBI investigation that nabbed Mohammed Nuru and the city's own investigation that nabbed Hui have helped a lot because it has reminded the rats that consequences exist. It's all just rumor but that seems to have damped down on corruption quite a bit.

That said... for the life of the average person there is not as much impact. I don't need to bribe anyone to get something done. I recently installed solar and batteries and we got permits, inspection, and approval including variances for some placement issues. It was all wrapped up within two months.
Another example: I've reported problems via the 311 app and the tickets were fixed. One was a burned out and broken light in a playground bathroom (replaced the next week). Another was a water leak on O'Shaughnessy Blvd that took about 3 months to resolve because no department could figure out what line was leaking or who owned it with lots of finger-pointing... but ultimately the 311 people stayed on the ticket, figured it out, and the city fixed the leak.

Corruption tends to happen on large projects or city contracts. Part of it has to do with public project bidding laws that don't allow for reputation to be considered. There's a gaggle of CA contractors who are experts at submitting low bids, then jacking the cost with change orders and delays. They keep winning contracts because they often submit the lowest bid. Sometimes things that seem way overpriced are that way for good reason... like buying rights to the land, digging up the street to run new plumbing which may require relocating other massive utilities, and so on. Other times you have things like the new outdoor trash can design where DPW employees treated it like a fun vanity project instead of buying an off-the-shelf design... resulting in vastly inflated costs. It's possible someone in DPW took a bribe but it's also possible they just didn't care about cost.

The tl;dr: No. Corruption and political meddling in SF doesn't come within an order of magnitude of India... especially not for the average citizen who can usually access relevant government services within reasonable times at the scheduled rates. That said there's more of it than average involving large projects, but recent arrests have helped.
Harry Dunn: Anne Sacoolas admits causing crash death

I used one of these and the self clean cycle started without warning while I was washing my hands. I couldn’t have been in there more than 4-5 minutes. Luckily the door didn’t lock so I was able to escape before getting “cleaned”.
I run a service that sends email. Right now I am relying on domain reputation or leasing IPs from providers with high reputation. It would be nice if I could actually own an IPv4 IP at lower prices. he smallest bundles are ~$10k but that is out of range of my very small business or personal use.

Show HN: Create a Shiny R server with one line of code using Shinify
No more coding needed, just add one line to your script in which you call our magic Shinify function. Shinify then automatically creates a shiny server and visual interface for you to interact with your machine learning or statistical model.
That's a raw number without considering other factors, right? Also not the direction the comment was worried about.

1) Take a short break of at least a full day and do something you enjoy. Get some exercise and some fresh air if you can.

2) Mentally prepare yourself for the grind ahead. A lot of the jobs you are applying to are already filled by the time you get there or the job has been pulled due to economic slowdown but the company is still interviewing because they are disorganized.

3) Try and make a list of the reasons why you are pursuing this job and this career specifically. Clarity around why you are choosing to take on potentially hundred of these gruelling interviews can help you keep your eye on the prize.

4) Be conciously grateful for your blessings. Some people never make tech lead but want it, you seem to have accomplished it early and have acquired a ton of valuable experience. There are others in far worse circumstances. Take heart, although this situation is very tough, because you have a set of problems that many would love to have.

Hope this helps you in some way. May God bless you.
The code review is done 'black box' - ie. the reviewer doesn't have access to the code.

All the reviewer can see is what permissions the app has. They see internet permission and contacts permission, and have to assume that evil code might be uploading the contacts to the internet.

There isn't really any other way to do it - even a thorough code audit (a process that would take months for just a single app) would be unlikely to uncover a well hidden flaw that is intended to allow an evil app developer to steal contacts of users only after the app passes the review process.

This is some hilarious gymnastics. S.F. is basically a poster child for how left wing urban policy is easily turned into abusive graft and inherently prone to abuse and corruption and it’s just like, “no, more cowbell!” Just keep turning the dial up and I’m sure it will get better.
Ask HN: You who quit your job, how did it turn out?
I quit my job in the first quarter of the year, so far with mixed results. I would like to know what results you have had. Did you find a better job? Did you start your own business? What has been your strategy?
My problem was I always found it to have weird holdovers in terms of UI from hardware integration days of colour correctors. Hopefully that is gone now. But for example you used to not be able to just drag your full screen viewing window to a second monitor - they forced you to get their little hardware PCIe card. Given that most Nvidia cards will do 10 bit colour now with the studio drivers I hope they have rethought this.

While I don't think Yang has a shot, I really appreciate his attempt to find a new, level-headed middle. Finding middle ground is our best hope. I think there are ideas from both sides that could help both city and rural constituents, and believe that the culture war has gotten out of control on both sides with irreconcilable differences that disqualify the other. However, I also believe that rural voters could be won by Dems if they were engaged on their level instead of flown-over.

That's because conservative areas are rural. When they become dense enough to have urban problems, they inevitably become liberal. So then we get to paint the urban problem as a liberal one, when in reality it is orthogonal.

This makes me wonder if ops allocating compute resources is really a good use of time if you're needing precise details of an app (which can and do evolve). This isn't a slam against ops, either, it's a knock against the tech itself that it forces all this incidental complexity on you.
Because it is incorrect. The correct figure is 5,593.8 Cr, which is equal to 676.15 million USD. Note: 676.15 = 5593.8*1e7/82.73/1e6.
Yeah proxies would be the way to go with this - that or short form content. You could easily have a bunch of high quality videos on an iPad to edit a single 2 or 3 minute video which may be their target audience here. Once you are done send those high quality source files up to a cloud storage and delete them locally.

Personally I am still waiting for someone to really get the proxy workflow right - it still requires too much manual control and planning. Someone needs to create a very robust asset management plane that does a better job of autolinking files when they are accidentality unlinked (could be easily done with a simple AI analyzing video content of different files along with an audio analyzer).
Battery life on the Apple Watch is pretty bad, for me the integration with my phone is worth it but it's a big compromise.

I don't think there are many ways in which SF is similar to a "very right wing" city. First of all, "right wing" politicians do not control any city governments in any real way, but if you were to compare SF with say, Houston -- which has radically different policies along these lines -- you wouldn't find that the results are the same.

In the American context, an extreme right-wing city government would theoretically provide very few public services, allow all property to transact in open marketplaces with very little red tape, allow for any use of property to meet market demand. In other words, you could build a gigantic high rise in Noe Valley but the city wouldn't pay for public toilets in any case (but someone could feel free to make pay toilets if they own or lease the land). Left wingers imagine that this sort of arrangement would lead to worse or similar outcomes for the poor than SF currently, but... I don't know, honestly.

Every time I built a statistical model and wanted to share it to my peers I encountered the same problem. The model is running fine on my local machine but to be able to share it I need to host it somewhere or sent the source code.

R Shiny is a good solution to host a model but can be hard for people who have never worked with it. Therefore I solved my own and potentially the problem of many other R developers in building a package that creates a Shiny server with one line of code.

Please feel free to give it a try! I really appreciate feedback and a star on Github.
Are you talking about last years zen3? That was a common complaint.

From https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/10195/amd-ryzen-5-7600x-ze...

"Power consumption is measured directly from the dual eight-pin connections. At peak, the 7600X pulls an impressive 130W, and during idle, it was down to 18w."

Sounds pretty good, especially considering its at the "dual eight-pin" power supply connection. Not laptop class, but pretty good for a high performance desktop.

Yes. There's real estate to keep or even increase their value over time and be thief-proof (and even generate some rent from just like 1M spent on 4-5 houses - local costs -, that's enough to live comfortably - local costs - ever after). There are no tornadoes in these here parts either.

As for unexpected problems, there's nothing that can come that couldn't also come now when I don't have even 100K to throw at it, much less 3-4M. So there's that...

I wouldn't get discouraged since most people don't even make it to that stage, and being exhausted is certainly understandable after 40 interviews. But have you analyzed or asked for feedback on what it is that was missing from the interview step that the employer was looking for?
It might be worth it even purely as an investment. Especially if you're specifically focused on maintaining a good reputation on the IPs, that could increase the value even more over time.
If there's no-one that wants to change anything then things stay the same. Ron Swanson will keep things running smoothly.
You gotta change something up. Get a certification or learn a new skill if you have the savings to do it. Get a job in another field that hires everyone -- I once took a job as an SAT teacher while I was between jobs because at least it gave me something to do.

Volunteer. Especially if you can volunteer at a relevant industry conference, where you can at least mingle with people who might be able to give you a job lead.

Since you said you had 10 years of experience I assume you haven't gone through a downturn before (or maybe got in right at the end of the last one). It's tough but it's a numbers game. Eventually you'll find someone who is hiring, but you may have to do something else for a while.
And a sure-fire way to increase time wasting bullshit and malicious compliance in an office is to treat people badly and take advantage of them.
