This website is clearly pushing an agenda. If you actually read the whitepaper they are quoting, there is no such thing:

> PredictWise targeted Republicans who scored high on our measure of Covid-19 decree violation (folks who were on the go more often than their neighbors) and Republicans who scored low on our measure of Covid-19 decree violation (folks who mostly or always stayed at home) in the swing state, Ohio, and asked survey questions.

The dataset is entirely based on people who took a mobile survey. They than used that to generate a "model" that took a best guess on an advertising data set. They then claimed that they got 40k successful advertising conversions for their ads. How cute.

Even if you don't like ad tracking, this is a ton of hyperbole. They may as well be giving you a score about how much you like chocolate chips based on your age and location.
Google Shares Tumble After YouTube, Search Show Rare Weakness
In terms of number of shares or dollar amounts? Because tech has taken a massive slam in the last year in the markets.

Employees should see that like a lot of investors do, which is a discount on blue chips. It changes the calculus a bit if you don't plan on executing on vest or holding after you do for tax reasons, which makes a lot of sense. But if you're considering a role at a big tech right now and plan to last a few years it's not necessarily a hit.

I think you mean paltry. Although I have seen employees who flap about, squawk a lot and shit all over everything, so perhaps poultry is apt.
All these lazy graph recompute reminds me of 90s dag based "procedural" modelers who achieved near real time re-rendering of extremely complex data through just that.

Ask HN: What is the best way to meet with potential startup co-founders
I am looking to preferably meet serious technical cofounders who are working on existing startups or people looking to collaborate together on a new idea. I have tried YC co-founder match and meetup networking events but most of the people are non-responsive or not committed and I prefer to meet IRL. Recently moved to the bay area and looking for suggestions. Thanks!

To anyone who wants to do this:

Let's say you have a tsconfig.json. Create a tsconfig-test.json like this:

{
"compilerOptions": {
"noEmit": true,
"skipLibCheck": true
},
"extends": "./tsconfig.json",
"include": ["./\*/*.ts", "./\*/*.d.ts"]
}

Add a script to your package.json (I use "test-types")

...
"scripts": {
"test-types": "tsc --project ./tsconfig-test.json",
...

Then you can "yarn test-types" quickly. I use husky[1] to run that command as a git pre-commit hook. My team cannot commit Typescript errors. Additionally I have a strict tsconfig and a strict eslint config (with these plugins:sonarjs, @typescript-eslint, simple-import-sort) which prevents "any" types and bad typescript hygiene. Results in faster code reviews.

Thanks for that breath of calm and collaboration. I apologize for being a little hostile -- it gets a little frustrating constantly hearing people say they want to spend trillions pouring billions of tonnes of sulfuric acid into my country's ground water in order to try and manifest an all-PWR future before even considering funding the things that make a much larger impact.

I guess it is probably just as frustrating seeing people claim a square mile of pv modules in a shipping container and nothing else is somehow a drop-in replacement for an AP-1000 for 1% of the price.

Cheers.
Right, but again, I'm not talking transfer payments, or forced sharing, if I'd meant to speak to transfer payments, I would have said transfer payments, not 'shared prosperity'.
As a practical matter I just don't think it's useful to lose the distinction between artificial and natural, even if I cannot define precisely when something is one or the other. In the same way it's not useful to lose the distinction between "selfish" and "selfless" which is a good enough reason to reject psychological egoism.

I think it's okay to accept something is true in an "ultimate sense", but not in a practical sense. e.g. that all technology is a natural process since the causal chain that led to it happened or rather was allowed by physics. To wit, plastics really are natural because humans evolved to be able to make plastics. If you argue against plastics being natural, then you might argue that anything "made" by an individual organism is artificial, which is clearly absurd.

No super interested in finding a resolution here, since I don't think the common meanings are problematic.
Keep in mind, you can use Kotlin in any JDK8 project and instantly get all those features. What you're proposing requires upgrading to a new JDK.
Yes there are also additional studies on "boomerang workers" that fit this new(er) class of people. Ones who despite even liking their job and eventually coming back, seek employment elsewhere because they aren't getting what they should be or aren't fulfilling the role they see themselves fulfilling properly.

That's how intensely underrated retention is for a lot of companies, and how costly it can be when retention isn't seriously looked into.

i disagree with you on this.

The problem with british parliamentarism compared to the system other constitutional monarchies and democracies in europe have, is the the cabinet does not automatically gets disbanded when the goverment looses trust in the Prime Minister. In most european parliamentary systems, a re-election would be called if this situation happens. This is not the case in the UK.

Its utterly ludicrous the tories are still in the seat of power after having 5 PM's in 6 years.

Yes. We used to work in silos. Dave was responsible for x, Cathy for y. When Cathy left, we were screwed because nobody knew much about y.

So now that I'm the project manager, after Steve builds the new feature then I alternate assigning the bug fixes between two other people who did not build it. That way, at least two other people become familiar with that part of the application while Steve is still around to answer questions and provide guidance.
> Only the people working closely with someone really have any idea

And are accused of bias when trying to get raises for their team.
That’s not accurate on quite a few counts.

- University is definitely not free, at least in England. Fees are £9k per year. Interest rates are high and you don’t have to pay it back unless you earn over a certain amount so in reality, it’s more like a graduate tax for many, but it’s definitely not free.

- Childcare is limited to a few free days a week, often has extras to be paid for and is otherwise very expensive. For those on higher incomes that’s reduced too.

- 52 weeks parental leave is for the mother only and is only at statutory pay after 6 weeks (about £150 per week). Paternity leave is 2 weeks at statutory pay.

- 6 weeks of holiday is not normal. Normal would be about 4 weeks.

- The state pension is £185 per week. Nearly everybody contributes a decent amount to a private pension too.

You don't have to excuse yourself by saying that you are fully vaccinated. Your opinion is equally as valid regardless of your vaccination status. Those who chose not to take the vaccine are also human beings.
I have interpreted this the exact opposite as you've stated.

I believe "wouldn't adjust my lifestyle" nets you a pretty handsome score and that's a problem.

At least I consider it a problem, though I would also consider higher score a badge. It's not opinions they are interested in, it's obedience or lack thereof.
And why wouldn't they base it on that CPU? If you're trying to learn the basics of shipbuilding, you don't start by going on a deep dive into the construction of an aircraft carrier.

I also wonder if we are too caught between US and European attitudes to career progression.

I perceive people in the US doing better by being talented, but mostly by being able to sell themselves; the more shameless the better. Meanwhile in Europe the perception seems to be "age before beauty", i.e. you get promoted mostly through long tenure, the old fashioned way.

In the UK, these two factors come together to create a downward, spiteful pressure on anyone getting too big for their boots - unless they bluster straight past it via nepotism or good old fashioned public school overconfidence.

Vendors listed there have pretty competitive pricing for bandwidth.

I find many AWS services to be priced decently (if you are using them properly, elastically scaling, etc). But that's definitely not the case for bandwidth. AZ to AZ charges are one of the worst - yes that's cheaper than egress but that's no consolation because you are essentially required to use multiple AZs if your business actually has any availability requirements.

And don't get me started on NAT Gateway pricing...
The next one that tells me they are alike will get me to agree:
both software projects and building projects are:

From what I can see, it is still very easy to hijack the back button. Wild that I never heard about this.
I tend to debug like a caveman so I don't know if I'm the right person for that - in this case, I just went through config options (make menuconfig) and turned on CONFIG_DRM_I915_DEBUG and a bunch of associated things, then built and booted and played around. Got nothing useful out of that but I didn't spend a huge amount of time diving into the driver.

In this case it's pretty different to regular kernel debug because I'm not debugging kernel code itself, I'm trying to glean more information out of hardware that I have no knowledge of, it's not as simple as "there's a bug on line X and I need to find out why this pointer is invalid" etc.
I agree with the title and point of article but it’s not really possible. No company can consistently identify those who are good, pay them well, fend against competitors despite their rising expenses (remember paying people more?) and do all of these things while people leave anyway for reasons outside of their control (moving, bored etc), which results in you having to hire more anyway, stresses the before mentioned process (inevitably you will notice people who are paid less can perform as good or better than more paid employees).

If I were in a position to implement things I’d simply get rid of raises all together and simple give people only stock and/or profit share. If they’re doing well the raise will come to them automatically. Of course this has perverse incentives in itself too.
Apple letting people know how they're championing environmental initiatives, all while their high horse is shitting out earpods and other disposable electronics at inflated prices like there's no tomorrow unless the billions roll in.
I hate it when articles do this. 90% of the story, with a cockteasing line about why the plane went down, then CUT to the full story in extremely deep detail. I understand that the author is trying to circumvent short attention spans with a short version to draw the reader into a longer article, but please don’t information bait

give the information in the beginning and then I’ll decide if I want to know a detailed history of the company the plane was owned by, or all the alternative names of the model

> The vaccine-free are due a well deserved apology (and compensation) for all the hate, torment, threats, and financial loss.

They deserve nothing.
Difference in those are vaccinations that yield quality, long lasting immunity whereas the Covid vaccine is comparable to the flu vaccine in terms of effectiveness. Also, those are battle tested and widely accepted at this point, but the Covid vaccine was a type of vaccine that reached production for the first time with these.
Yeah, my bad. My comment is very US-centric. At the same time, cost of living is likely much higher in the US, so that also makes a difference in the comparison.

Anyways, median income in the US is near $50k/yr (around $1k/week: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/wkyeng.pdf)
Mail hn@ycombinator.com, don't post here about it.
Looks at the literal million dead Americans what survivors are we talking about again? If you got fired during the days where we finally had a vaccine and you refused to take it, you were fired for a very good reason.
I'm not sure I understand your point. Zig is clearly too unstable for your liking, by your own admission.

If your point is that Rust was more stable (and why not, even an overall better project) at the same age, then I'm happy to immediately concede the point. But that doesn't really have any influence on the main question, does it?
From my perspective this is the way things used to work, then we had the pay equality movement which was largely misinterpreted by corporations to mean "Same title == same pay". The problem is that being a Junior on Team A may have the same cognitive load as being a Senior on Team B. I once led a team that was exactly like that.

Saying "end perverse incentives" makes this seem like some moral oversight driven call-to-action but I think it's more complicated than that.
You’re getting Americanized. Congratulations?
I have been interviewed multiple times by GCP product managers seeking to understand how my team used specific AWS services that Google lacked at the time to learn how to implement Google's competing service.

I would be more concerned if your org wasn't doing this. AWS does it all the time too. The parent post is wrong to paint this as a negative. And GCP has some unquestionably industry leading products too (BigQuery, GKE, Spanner, AI/ML services)
A central issue is that we have an ageing population and slowing growth. Old people have a tight grip on who runs the country, and tend to get what they want (e.g. high house prices, triple pension lock, fewer immigrants, etc).

Unless we can attract highly-skilled workers by offering higher salaries than other countries we're doomed to be servicing pensioners with fewer and fewer workers. And this will happen while our taxes are slowly increased to deal with their health needs while other public services are slowly reduced.

Any government that is in power should be working out how to build a political coalition that doesn't involve letting the old eat the young. Young people shouldn't be spending all of their money on rent and need to be able to build wealth and support families.

Edit: To be clear, encouraging immigration wouldn't lower house prices -- but without immigration we will have difficulty supporting the no-longer-working ageing population. Increasing immigration is one option; the other option is to trying to make it easier for the young to have children by making houses cheaper and providing completely free childcare for everybody, but these are much more difficult to achieve, as they have a much slower pay-off and would require taking money away from pensioners (which will get you voted out).
Does anybody really use those for generic cloud projects though?

My impression was that those were geared towards firms who have already bought heavily into the Oracle/IBM consulting/licensing.

They're not clouds where Netflix or Spotify are going to spin up a few thousand servers. Unless I've been misinformed?

So they don't really seem to be in the same category. I mean is anyone not already in the IBM ecosystem ever choosing between AWS and IBM?
I personally think it's hilarious and wonderful, if I were Dave I wouldn't see any reason to sue. It's honestly a great move
The consequences in theory are political. Theoretically Congress should be impeaching Presidents and expelling members that do not uphold their oaths.

Executing consequences into popular Presidents or other members of Congress would also be politicized and have political consequences for Congress, so it doesn’t happen. That said, leaving impeachment or expulsion of legislative members to the Courts would also give them too much power.

So the real consequences are at election time. If you ran to retain your seat, and lost, that’s your comeuppance. It’s not granular, but it gets the job done eventually. This is also why control of the White House flips back and forth so much: nothing any President does is particularly popular most of the time, they just have the votes to do it. Incumbents do get massive advantages in staying power but in the present day, two terms looks like about the maximum we would be able to tolerate a President’s political party in the Oval Office and typically after midterms they no longer have the votes in Congress either.

Most of this is generally applicable to the States, but I don’t know New York politics specifically but would note that the previous Governor was put into a position where he was pretty much forced to resign both for scandals and for the actions he took while in office; and that was a slow slow build up.

Median real personal income has risen significantly in the past 1-2 generations. It looks like the common man in the US is doing quite well compared to our ancestors.

If we're looking at voluntary trade of wealth, rather than forced sharing, that seems to be doing quite well!

>why has the standard of living fallen in real terms for the bottom 50% of the country?

>Right, but again, I'm not talking transfer payments, or forced sharing, if I'd meant to speak to transfer payments, I would have said transfer payments, not 'shared prosperity'.

Do you think those at the bottom are getting most of their income from transfer payments or are they getting it from voluntary trade and charity? The people at the bottom are living off of transfer payments (forced sharing).

-----------replies [since mine are spent]--------

>which makes the actual situation very clear: real median personal income has lagged substantially behind real GDP per capita ever since 1975 or so.

Perhaps the median worker is being 'robbed', but another explanation is merely the median worker isn't where the majority of the value creation gains have been located for the past ~50 years.

Paying for equal performance on the measurable aspects of the job is easier to do than putting a value on institutional knowledge. As an old bird that has had time to internalize the tech stack, I can make one comment along the line of “Don’t do that, and here is why...” — getting that kind of contribution noticed and valued is harder.

Parent comment is really saying to find a way to put a value on institutional knowledge.
