Agreed that IE did innovate at its time.

"It had everything independent innovation needed to thrive. It just didn’t have any vision for the “open web”."

But it didn't had an open source core and was windows only. The vision was microsoft only (forever).

"This was the Microsoft way. You can’t blame them for being themselves. "

So the argument is, "yeah, Microsoft is a big monopolist who do everything they can, to lock people on their system, you cannot blame them for it, this is just the way they are"?

Either way, in this case luckily their monopol strategy failed and IE died because of it.
A few reasons PV on roofs might still make sense:

* Cheap land may be far away from consumers, requiring expensive and inefficient transmission lines.

* As PV costs come down, land cost become a higher fraction. Roofs do not require a land purchase.

* Some locations are politically unwilling or unable to do large scale solar. rooftop solar provides a route for personal adoption.

Finally remember the two options are not mutually exclusive!
I remember that Intel project - Vaunt. They sold the patents to North which was acquired by Google. According to this reddit thread, most of the team went to Magic Leap afterwards

Yeah - but most CEOs are super average.
BlackBerry figured it out the hard way; Apple and Google won the talent war. The rest is history.
Yes, agreed: Engineering Manager.

I often make this mistake because English is not my first language, and I confuse "engineer" with "engineering": in both cases it sounds to me "a manager who manages engineers", not "a manager who is an engineer him/herself". Kind of like a "Product Manager" is a manager who manages the product, not a manager who is a product!
So called "natural" doesn't always mean better. Fortunately we get to choose what we like or don't like, preferences.

Our distant ancestors had to put up with a lot of negatives that we do not necessarily need to. Just because they did it, doesn't mean they wanted to, it may mean they had mediocre alternatives (or no alternatives at all).
I don't think the map sources it uses have been updated in a long time. We've had a tree removed from the front of our house 2 years ago that clearly shows up in the map.
Yes - I’m more hopeful of LLMs (or whatever replaces them over time) getting more truthful and accurate sooner than we get rid of SEO spam. I would also imagine SEO spam gets worse soon with LLMs.
Really agree of the emtsverse. Out of my dunbars number friend group I only know one VR enthusiast.
Maybe the Butlerian Jihad will happen because computers get too dumb, not too smart.
Roofs have the distinct advantage of not requiring new land acquisitions and being close to consumption (cutting transmission costs).
I bet I could get much more out of you by treating you like an adult.
So you're not actually talking about back-ends system but about the front-end.

In that case, chat-bots have existed for years and consumers largely don't like them.

In your scenario you can transfer money in a few clicks rather than having to write out an entire conversation.
I called your action evil. So now I believe you either have poor reading comprehension or you're just habitually dishonest. Do you have any other explanations for your behavior?

And, frankly, pointing out that someone's statement is completely and unequivocally false is an even easier way to convince yourself you've won an "argument".
That Wayland remark is very weird.It probably comes from an echo chamber or someone who hasn't actually tried it/done some proper research. Or maybe they only use a DE that barely supports it? (which? XFCE?)
Glad to hear the proxy is in the plans!

Yea you're probably right, most applications would best fit the proxy living close to the backend.

One reason to run on the edge would be if the edge "worker" could retrieve the required token(s) from an edge db and attach it as a header to the request going through to the BE app server so that it can then immediately make the requests directly to the 3rd party api. (Though this likely only simplifies the design for the devs a bit and performance is nearly identical)

Another reason, likely less common use case, is if you could keep certain data from 3rd party api's always fresh/cached at the edge. So for instance Cloudflare worker KV store has an api to update records (perhaps from a normal nango server instance that's maintaining updating/syncing the records) so that this data can be "injected" as json into the body of an html response. This is definitely a niche use case though, lol.

Congrats on YC and the launch!

IFR increases approximately 4 times every 10 years.

In other words, all else being equal if you get Covid today your chance of dying is about 50% higher than if you got it 3 years ago. (All else is not equal due to vaccines and different strains and better treatments, but still). It's yet another example of how terrible aging is for both individuals and society.
Just wait until ads are in-lined with the responses and sponsors products are prioritized if you're not specific about what you want.
Japanese people are usually very organized and neat, I can't imagine they'd appreciate backpackers coming through like this.

Where I come from there are ever increasing number of people living in vans and its a real problem. They usually just cause problems, dont pay hotel or property taxes and ruin the area for everyone else. Some towns have banned them which is worse for the few locals that used to do it on a short trip.
If it works like the other GPT search engines that have popped up, it does provide links.
A specific instance of a salary negotiation can be reasonably modeled as a zero-sum game.

My broader point is that zero-sum sub-games don't make the entire game zero-sum.
This is the answer. In the US the business essentially funds the rewards these cards provide because they can charge whatever interchange fee that card has decided.

Its only nonsense in the mind of plebs. For the class that's waging that war, its quite real. They are aware of what they are doing.
No reason to prevent people from putting solar on their roofs if they wish.

I'm talking about tax rebates and credits given to people who put solar on their roofs. I'm sure these are good investments: they're subsidized!
How do you square the circle of management wanting to pay employees the minimum they can for the maximum amount of their employees labor?

The company is a giant thing, with lawyers, power and resources that are impossible for an individual to push against and win anything that is contested. Like 80 hour work weeks. Children working in manufacturing jobs. Unsafe working conditions with fire exits blocked.

Which are all things that companies were doing before unions pushed against it.
Hey, I used to be that guy (and still am).
That doesn't mean that problems that can be solved at the macro scale should only be solved at the macro scale. If, for whatever reason, the best solutions aren't being implemented that doesn't mean no solution should be implemented.
It sounds more like Counter-Positioning (details, e.g. [1]) by OpenAI/Microsoft. Google cannot compete or it would attack its own main income stream and risk losing income very fast. But if they wait, then people learn to work with Microsoft/OpenAI which would hurt them in the long run. Counter-Positioning creates an impossible situation which brought many giants down including Blockbuster.

Show HN: Built amatuer prototype website, and an even more amateur demo video
I've been bootstrapping my startup idea and as a very non-technical non-traditional founder i've been pouring a lot of effort into this. I know you guys as pros are used to a lot more polish but i would love to hear some feedback!
I would think an easy way - and coincidentally, the best for business - would be to make it too dangerous to be the stereotypical office politics back-stabbing VP type. Make it known that that behavior will land you out on your ass, with no severance or parachute, and no recommendations for future employment.

But, I've never seen that in practice. Maybe the politics of the C suite mean you want those office politics back-stabbing folks around to take those high level positions?
Typical PRC insolence, feeling entitled to the debris after violating another sovereign nation's airspace. I just wonder why it took the US so much time to shoot it down.
Not that everyone was perfect, but I've only once had a manager that made me go to my skip-level manager and tell him that they needed to put me somewhere/anywhere else or I was out. Didn't hurt that I had a good relationship with skip-level and and he wasn't wowed by my manager either.

Did a bunch of legacy stuff for a while but ended up fine.
i have never, ever come across a programmer working on a system of any complexity that did not depend on contributions from other programmers.
> I do not understand why some people gets so happy when management gets the axe. Do you think that good managers that cared for the team instead of their own career are the ones that stay?

I am not happy for any axing. In case this question was directed at me. I am happy for expecting managers to also be able to contribute to the product instead of just managing people.
I agree with most of your comment, but

> It always seemed obvious to me that entities which feel things are afforded commensurate moral consideration.

If this were the case then livestock would have more rights than human embryos.

Nope. For the same reason I know many people who voted for Trump, and then didn't after four years of him.

They just didn't care to spend more brainpower on the issue than they already had. Most people have better things to do than be the most well-informed voter or investigate the history of the people they see on YouTube.
Anything forked from Chromium can’t be significantly different from Chromium, because any change of that nature increases divergence from Chromium and makes it more difficult to keep pace with the firehose of changes being pumped out daily by Google’s massive Chrome/Blink team. It means that forks can never be anything but mostly-cosmetic reskins unless the party forking sinks resources equally large as Google’s into the fork, which gives Google power to shape the web as they please unopposed.
Ha, I initially wrote "its" then got nervous I was wrong, overthought it and did get it wrong.
Hildegard is one of the earliest, if not the earliest, composers we can specifically associate with music she wrote.
Most people ask human-style questions, eg: "How do I turn my toaster on?"; unlike tech enthusiasts who might be more inclined to feed mechanical queries, eg: "toaster turn on -site:reddit.com".

If the former query becomes more useful, even at the cost of the latter (which has gotten fairly useless already anyway), that is an overall boon for end-users.
This is deceiving competition:

webkit/blink/geeko are financed (and steered) by the same people: blackrock/vanguard = apple = alphabet(=google) = microsoft = starbucks = etc.

Actually, their interest would be to trash one they have direct control on (ppl working on it would be "reallocated" or ...) for instance webkit, and keep only blink, and geeko (only there to dodge anti-trust since they don't have a direct way to steer it).

What's need to be done actually is to save the web from them: restore noscript/basic (x)html on the bazillions of online services which could be provided in a good enough fashion, just need to add the <video> <audio> element with a standard way to seek into streamed video/audio via the URL (t=xxxxxx in milliseconds).

I guess the only way is very strong technical regulation: the big must interoperate with the shmol.
for the case of docker compose run I do this: have a service that runs, does something, then terminates and isn't restarted (see docs). We do migrations and other one off things with that.
They need it running first so they can ask it for the code to implement dark mode.
Maybe, but for intimacy back in those times, there was plenty of private nature around, where couples could sneak away, while the grandmas watched the kids.
It's hard to believe you're not trolling when you present "millions of teenagers with body dysmorphic disorder thanks to Instagram" as the only kind of 'impactful' work.

What about people working on WhatsApp, or infra, or people working at FAIR or people building React, etc? The list goes on.

Meta creates a shit ton of positive impact which is not at all related to "millions of teenagers with body dysmorphic disorder thanks to Instagram".
You also get 30% back in the form of a tax credit when you purchase solar. So that might mean that the cost is only $10k. I'm also not sure if the Sunroof website is just doing straight math based on today's electricity rates or if it assumes some amount of inflation. If the past predicts the future your rates could be 75%+ higher in 20 years making solar much more lucrative.
It'd be the overtaking of the century.

Let's see.

Bing market share in the US = <7% (6.7% this year).

Edge market share in the US = <5% (it's only 5% for desktops, and >50% of internet traffic comes from phones).

Even if they get 100% of Google searches on Edge-devices to go to Bing (which they'll be lucky if they even get to 50% on their platforms) - it will hardly do anything...

The rate at which Edge is becoming irrelevant as people transition traffic to laptops (more likely Macs these days) or phones (0% MSFT) - is likely going to be larger than what Microsoft can chip away via Edge.

If they can chip away any meaningful traffic (I doubt it) - it will be a MUCH bigger threat when it comes from Apple.

And you can bet it's coming down the pike in a year or two if not sooner.

But I'm skeptical this AI search is going to be more than a fad, and I think the queries people like to ask AI search will be new types of searches (i.e. creating a new market, not taking away from the existing).

First, you have to hire exceptional people, if you can.

If you can't get good enough people, you're going to fail hard inevitably no matter what you do (if you've got a quasi monopoly moat it may take a long rot to get there).
As usual, "it depends." Many individual contributors don't actually contribute, either. Some actually have negative net contribution.

The Innovator's Dilemma.

Presumably, Google didn't want to cannibalize their cash cow (Google search) because they don't know if LLM chatbots can be monetized as effectively.
It depends on what your electricity price is. For our house, it's way higher than the estimate (and they let you bump up the estimate). The cost to put panels on was pretty spot on to the quotes I've received.
This has actually helped a lot.

I did a lot of this over the past week. Week before was pretty bad. There is definitely truth to this :)
Dokku Maintainer here.

This is pretty neat. One of my gripes about docker-compose - and a major why I've been hesitant to add support for it - is that the updates are not zero-downtime. That makes it much more annoying to use for app deploys as you either have to rewrite the compose command as a docker command (defeating part of the purpose of a compose file) or accept the downtime during a deploy. I'll definitely be including this tool (or something like it) with Dokku once I actually add compose support.

Combining this with either Caddy Docker Proxy[1] or Traefik[2] could be quite nice for a very simple app deployment system.

Would be super awesome for this functionality to land in the official `compose` plugin, but for now this is a great way to dip your toes into app deployments without too much overhead.

There is a small island of productivity tools around docker-compose that would be super nice to build, and it's nice to see something like this land :)

The problem is that no tool alone can make data useful. It requires human ingenuity to come up with a theory, gather the required data, then test and verify the theory.

We've gotten to a point where the first and last step get skipped. Business leaders see other companies doing interesting things with data, so the answer must be "gather all the data"! Internal teams end up focused on gathering the data without the context of how it might be used.

We need to train data teams to not focus on the data as the product. Instead, they should be responsible for driving business actions. Gathering and cleaning the data should just a byproduct of that activity.
To their credit, they did most of the research for this, transformers + reinforcement learning. But maybe they could not see a way that this could be used to lock in both advertisers and publishers in their own 'free' marketplace
And you'd better hope the bones actually say something useful.

I was the infra lead on a data lake project and got take part all the way to breaking down the data and turning into PowerBI reports. The result was "sell more" and to clients who marketing already identified, years ago, as whales.

There were some interesting other insights, esp. w/r/t to niche products that sold around weird dates (Easter, Memorial Day, 4th July -- but not obvious gift days like Valentines or X-Mas), but it led to a lot of "you're doing it wrong!" recriminations and follow up projects.

A little searching would also show that the installed capacity in Oklahoma is just 1% of that in Arizona and I think there's a reason for that. Even of your insurance covers it, it's not like the insurer is operating a steady-state loss. You're paying for it, and that factors into an economic estimate.
Thanks for that correction.

Depends on your definition of "direct," but it includes skip-levels. This is what some of the other comments were referring to with growing your team large enough you end up with managers reporting to you.

I've been an IC reporting to a manager, who himself reported to a manager (as opposed to director or senior manager), and while the second one was technically my skip it was more like I just had two direct supervisors.
"It's a right-wing bogeyman and they use it to scare people because it works. Just like it did with you."

Your right, I'm an idiot unable to think for myself. Me and everyone else that believes this. People who believe as you do are the only intelligent ones able to think for themselves.

Everything I have experienced related to DEI is not real and part of the massive collective hallucination experienced by anyone that doesn't 100% support it.

Being told to "sit in my shame" was good. The VP of DEI responding to Asians expressing fear during the rash of unwarranted attacks on them a year ago by other minorities by telling them white supremacy was to blame was good.

Thank you for showing me the light.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
And by key human role they mean the cops whose testimony the shot spotter system is supposed to support.

Meaning there’s circular logic at play and shot spotter needs to not be considered an objective 3rd party system.

BetterHelp is no different than traditional therapy, just online and hiring the lowest bidders with credentials to operate legally.

It's no different than the therapists who, when covid started, switched to Zoom and similar, and to this day most won't do in-person.

Of course BetterHelp is one innovative step, but not an order of magnitude of innovation.
> There are mistakes that you can recover from, and you don't fire an exec (or anyone) at the first blunder.

Their first "blunder" would have been lying about their security and sending encryption keys and private data to china (https://citizenlab.ca/2020/04/move-fast-roll-your-own-crypto...)

Even the most generous and forgiving view of Zoom makes them look completely incompetent and unfit for anything you want secure/private. A less generous view would see Zoom as a deceitful and malicious tool for data collection.

At this point, after so many lies and security issues I honestly can't believe anyone trusts Zoom for anything even remotely sensitive, but I'd think even the most trusting people would agree the company has a history of terrible actions/choices and the CEO is the person who is ultimately responsible.

I hope the employees who were laid off find satisfying work with a much better employer.

I disagree, but for totally different reasons. I think Edge's advantage is MS could build a load of corporately validated plugins and service in it for employees, making it the de facto corporate browser. Then with some decent features around work/life separation with bookmarks and password management and it could easily start bleeding back into consumerland.

I like that this thread points out even humans have difficulty with that construction sometimes. We're trying to hold Google's language model to a higher standard than humans in this case I think. I remember "learning" thousands of bits of trivia like that from people who had misinterpreted something they read and misstated it in such a way.

Of course Google has already been putting often-incorrect summaries/factoids in its search infoboxes for a few years now.
