If multi-cloud is actually something an org cares about, which I'll concede ought to be exceedingly rare for an early stage startup, there ways you can design your infrastructure to mitigate that problem.

There is some up front work of course, but there's a ton of cloud provider-agnostic library tooling out there these days that you can use to build something like autoscaling (pulumi, terraform, et al.). You might not end up with full feature parity of what k8s offers, but you'd get 90% of the way there.

Bizarrely it seems the parent plucked those numbers from a Samsung 3mn press release! That's why they don't make sense in the context of TSMC 3nm. I've never had a presentation from Samsung, I guess they need to say something special.
I'm on plan C or maybe D now. Math kid at school with enough computer exposure to know I wasnt a good programmer. Tried math at college and realized I needed a plan B. Became a librarian.

Learned VMS, Unix and Pick because the book systems ran on those OSes. Realized library profession was dying due to what I felt was gatekeeping. Plan C: do IT.

Did IT for a few years, joined a sw company, sysadmined for a bit, realized they were making more money, moved into line of business work and eventually sales.

Am still a shitty programmer.
I think the author missed one of the most important points: genetic variability to obtain the minimum viable population.[1]

Let's say they make a perfect clone of an extinct animal. It can't reproduce by itself. It needs a mate. Let's say they clone a second animal of the other gender. Let's say they reproduce (low chance of that, but let's say they do). All their descendants need mates too, other than their siblings, otherwise it leeds to inbreeding.[2]

They need dozens if not hundreds of different individuals to make a viable population that doesn't go extinct again.

The fact that most apps are ad-based is what drove me away from the app store entirely on Android. It's impossible to tell what's actually free, and it's hard to find honest apps that you can just pay for instead of dealing with ads or microtransactions.

So I would never have seen your app. I was already driven out of the "ecosystem". I wonder how many others are like me -- fully willing to pay, but so disgusted by the app scene that we aren't even there anymore.
Isn't having ill-defined job titles an advantage to a company? If someone has clearly defined duties, that makes it difficult to extract more forms of work from them for the same pay.
It's worth it being aware that charging those 2019 Intel Macs from the right-hand-side USB-C ports will cause them to overheat and get thermal throttled.

Not saying you're doing that or that they are otherwise great machines (they're not) but they can go from being a steak grill back to being a relatively serviceable computer just by switching the charging port.

> the last is purely market driven (no matter how much companies wish it weren’t)

Why would companies wish it weren't? It lets them underpay people because "the market" broadly underpays them.

I've talked about this dynamic with leaders like that, who opposed salary transparency because they underpaid people who they knew the market would undervalue, where the actual contribution of the person in question is irrelevant. As they put it (grossly), if you're a minority that would be paid less elsewhere, I'm going to pay you less here because I can. Not because you're a minority, but just because that's the way the market works.

I've been in situations where the "market forces" are stupid enough that I've been paid more than someone nominally one level up from me (senior eng. vs junior). It's immoral as hell but what are you going to do? The company is always going to pay every worker as little as they can, and not a cent more.
It's not a well-supported/advertised path, but you can always download a pay-for game for an hour and then get a refund if you don't like it.

Google at least used to do automatic refunds if you uninstalled a pay-for app very quickly - I once had that happen with a utility app that I used to convert some stuff - since it worked exactly like I wanted, I re-purchased and left it installed for a few days.

A Jew can make Aliyah to Israel. If Jews had same privileges in other countries (eg an ability to make Aliyah to the US, China or India), the very notion of Israel as a special place would become vacuous. I am not sure how you are not seeing it, when it's the most straightforward and simple idea.

I didn't say anything about any moral "should"s, I just pointed out a very simple logical necessity.
It might be poorly worded, and the OP appears to be unaware of the fact that their being a member of the upper caste means they’re unlikely to witness casteism.

But they have shown an openness to learning. Instead of responding, like some commenters have, by getting mad at their potentially ignorant sentence, it’s a far better approach to, like some other commenters have, educate them about the fact that the very nature of privilege means that as part of the privileged class you get to live life being oblivious about the class distinctions.

That is indeed the privilege of the privileged. And the burden of the unprivileged is that they do not have the luxury to live their lives while being oblivious to their lack of privilege.

Because incentives don’t align. Once you make a rubric that people can actually attain - everyone will meet that bar. But that doesn’t work - you need to fire people because upper management believes that the threat of firing people will keep more unpaid labor coming out. (Generally true but it comes with a cost - lower productivity and mind wandering and doing things to not be fired… which doesn’t line up with some of upper managements higher goals…)

It’s the result of a low trust society. Yay.

Particularly because there's already shared Apple services mapped to Families. It's very frustrating.
It is geared toward people who want an inexpensive, convenient meal that theoretically contains all the nutrients you need. Some people use it as an alternative to breakfast or lunch, and some people are all in as a complete meal replacement because they don't really care about the experience of eating that much. The founder says he uses Soylent for most of his daily nutrition but will still eat out with friends. The people who use it for a complete meal replacement talk about how they have to chew gum. Otherwise, they get muscular dystrophy in their jaw.

I see the benefit of it as a convenient breakfast or lunch. I like food too much to replace all my meals with it.
Exactly, but note how everyone associates the word “caste” with “Hindu” or “india”. Makes the problem worse and nothing good can come out of it.
You don't have to use those services, and there are some abstraction you can do to make things portable. For instance, each platform may have its own block storage, but you can have different storage provisioner configurations for each platform so that you can move your application smoothly between them.
There’s also the obvious privacy problem of family members stalking each other.
Not really anymore. It used to be you could get a beater for $300-500 that would do pretty well. Now, if a car is running it's worth at least $3000. The insurance costs have skyrocketed because now people are driving rolling house payments and if your teenager crashes into them it will cost 50k+ to replace them. Parts and maintenance are through the roof. Rates at shops are up to $200-300 per hour and parts have nearly doubled.

Cars are just not sustainable anymore. If I were a kid I would prefer an E-bike or a moped/motorcycle like a Honda Supercub. Orders of magnitude cheaper than a beater right now.

I'd love to find a good number on the daily mileage of the median passenger car in the US. The average looks to be around 30-35mi/day but the median is probably a small fraction of that. Why would you want your battery pack to be 10x oversized for your typical day?

I think a more efficient solution would be series-hybrids with small onboard generators for range extension. Minimize weight/cost of the battery pack while maintaining the ability to drive cross-country without frequent charging stops.
You can't really expect mainstream writing to take the opposite stance, that its women's fault. Somebody has to be to blame, and in a case of men vs women, the target is easy.
Same, even quarter to quarter goals are scrapped. Even professional development goals are often tied to what the company needs, and those need to be adjusted.

I don't know the solution, other than just have general expectations about assigned work and commitments as those commitments come up and change. Rather than having some performance conversation that's out of sync with actual project deliverables.
It sounds like you want contract work. That’s available. And maybe it Will become more common in the future.

Companies and employees form into these longer term relations in an attempt to reduce the burden of creating these types of task based contracts. Is it more efficient? Maybe, since it is more common than contract work.
Have you seen the 3nm SRAM scaling? It's really depressing. It won't bother CPUs too much but other devices are going to struggle to scale.

It’s so that when people search their Purchased Apps index for Angry Birds, having not recently installed it, the older flat-price no-IAP version isn’t shown in the results, and they’ll be more likely to install an IAP version instead. (iOS lets you install apps you’ve installed previously, even if they’re delisted.)
Ask HN: Why do so many iOS apps require subcriptions?
I recently switched to iPhone and while most things have been great, the app ecosystem is a bit heavy-handed with monthly subscriptions.

I tried searching for a sleep cycle alarm with a noise machine, but almost every app only functions as a basic alarm unless you subscribe to their Pro package for $5.99/mo, or in some cases, will not let you access the app at all! I've seen this happen with things like calculators as well and while I'm fine paying for an app, this seems to be a strange use of the subscription model.

Is iOS app development so expensive to develop/maintain that it requires this sort of revenue model?

Are there other reasons why this has become the norm in a lot of iOS apps?
Those examples help, thanks. I misunderstood your original post and thought you were planning on doing something to _change_ policy.

I see now your thought is more about helping people navigate existing policy. I do think this can be very helpful.

I'd be willing to pay actual money for a "one stop shop" to navigate all the H1B issues that unifies all these things :)
Meta plans to cut thousands of jobs, after CEO predicted no more layoffs
You're assuming that One Medical's interests are different than Amazon's. You're probably wrong.

One Medical is there to make money. Amazon will make One Medical more efficient at making money, even if that means forcing you to be healthier.

How?

One nagging problem with healthcare is doctors believe that medicine isn't a cookie cutter problem when in fact it is. For the vast majority of conditions there are standard treatments that work. If that wasn't the case modern medicine wouldn't exist.

Every doctor can whip out some corner case and say "but what about this." Sure, that's great. But for condition A the standard treatments usually work. The trick is to know when the standard treatments aren't working and what to do.

Amazon, or any healthcare company with enough data, can look at the data and see what treatments actually work and what treatments don't. It's not a hard problem, really, but traditional health systems don't care, and to be frank, academic researchers are basically too lacking in imagination to understand how to do it or why it should be done.

Amazon at the very least will try to apply quantitative methods to the problem.
> People have tried several times to explain the observations that led to dark matter

The observations that led to Dark Matter have been sufficiently explained without the need for Dark Matter.[1] Apparently, subsequent observations that got lumped into Dark Matter have not yet been sufficiently explained, and Science is paradigmatic, so Dark Matter persists.

In a zero-sum scenario, yes.

But the positive-sum scenario would be: employees will be more productive if expectations are clear.
My company, for the past 10 years, still requires this, and while I understand its nice to set goals... after a decade of working there, there's only so much "room for improvement" i can work on. I've slacked on certain areas of the job just to make up stuff "to work on" for my goals. It works to convince the higher ups who really couldn't care less about my goals, because they would rather find more ways to cut paychecks or lay off people for getting paid too much, so there's not a crazy lot of incentive to even take them seriously anymore.

IIRC the official history says Minesweeper and Solitaire were both included as user-education devices—Minesweeper for teaching left- vs right-clicking and Solitaire for some other thing (drag&drop?). Not sure if the official history is true (wasn’t Freecell distributed as a Win32s test app?).

Also, if anything I’d say the old, write-your-Xorg.conf-by-hand Linux desktop included more of these than the modern glossy one: Chromium B.S.U., Tux Racer, GNOME Robots (still in gnome-games I think), there were a ton of those. As well as xneko, xeyes and so on. Whereas on Windows you needed to look on computer magazine CDs and such to find the equivalent.

Most of the comments here are the generic "all business is evil" cynicism that's rampant on HN these days. The reality is not so simple. Here's my perspective, as someone who's actually done annual reviews and tried to build/retain a great team.

> drew a straight line between here's what you need to do to get this much of a raise or this much of a bonus

This is really really hard to do. It's not a good idea (or even a practical idea) to plot out all the work that you want an employee to do in a year, or even in a quarter.

You can prove this to yourself. Try and write down all the things you would like to get done over the next year and how much of a bonus you think you should earn for each thing. If you're in sales this is easy - it's a sliding scale ratio between revenue won and bonus. If you're in product or engineering I suspect you will not find it so simple.

If you've read posts like "Being Glue" (https://noidea.dog/glue), they talk the importance of work that's impactful within the team but very difficult to measure. If companies tried to draw a straight line between visible work and raise/bonus, nobody would ever choose to be glue.

This isn't to say that everyone is happy with how annual reviews work. As engineers we want everything to be black and white. If I pass this unit test, I get a pay rise. As managers who used to be engineers, we'd love to be able to give engineers that clarity, because you're right, they would get hyperfocused on it and we'd get a lot more out of them. But nobody's worked out a way to make it work.

Believe me: if you can invent a technique (and make a product around it) that enables this, you'll make a lot of money selling it to every single software company.
Right wing nut jobs are the most strongly opposed people to a carbon tax that I've ever met. At least in the US you're much more likely to be called a socialist.

Well if you want to have an easy life, try getting a job in finance. They always have a lot of money to throw around and no shortage of menial tasks. All you gotta do is put on a white collar, do your 8 hours of prison time every day, and pretend you're a serious person.
