...Is a book I have not read, but the author is also the author of my favorite non-parody Scifi series (Remebrance of the Earths Past / Three Body Problem).
I feel like I'm constantly fighting this with my manager at my current company. I receive a lot of feedback along the lines of, "well every other company I've worked for did it X way." For example deployments: company policy is that anyone can deploy any service from master at anytime, so if you merge your code into master, you're saying "this code is ready for production." My manager kept telling "we" should fix that because every other company he worked for deployed from staging into production.

I've found managing situations like this to be the hallmark of a good architect / high-level engineer. I really admire people who are able to think quickly on their feet and push back against people who push for ignorant or unnecessary changes. And it is something I am not good at.

I've taken to silently fixing peoples' mistakes as to avoid these kinds of discussions. While I'd really like to say, our architecture did not force you to push broken code into master hours before you went on vacation, my (agreeable) personality prevents that.
But presuming this isn't data with low-latency access requirements (since tape is pretty useless for that, so we wouldn't be making the comparison), what's the inflection point where it becomes worth the CapEx to justify even having your own "nearline" + archival storage cluster at all, vs. just using Somebody Else's Computer, i.e. an object-storage or backup service provider?

To me, 1PB is also where I'd draw that line. Which I would interpret as it never really being worth it to go to local drives for these storage modalities: you start on cloud storage, then move to local tapes once you're big enough.

(Heck, AFAIK the origin storage for Netflix is still S3. Possibly not because it's the lowest-OpEx option, though, but rather because their video rendering pipeline is itself on AWS, so that's just where the data naturally ends up at the end of that pipeline — and it'd cost more to ship it all elsewhere than to just serve it from where it is. They do have their self-hosted CDN cache nodes to reduce those serving costs, though.)
It doesn’t seem that surprising to me. At a certain level of excessive wealth you will start traveling by private jets, which may tickle your fancy and expose you to a lot more of the nuts and bolts of aviation. And if you’re into expensive cars, well, private planes are the next level beyond that.
In my neck of the woods at least, driving safely is impossible. Nearly every major road is over capacity and getting worse. Most drivers are half-trained at best. Constant traffic jams fray the nerves. A lack of public transportation means people are on the road for longer than they can focus. The best selling vehicle is the Ford F-150. Leaving adequate following distance just results in someone taking that as an invitation to swerve a quarter second in front of you.

We should develop every technical solution we can, but the reason American drivers are in so much danger is social.

Its also the software to run the blasted thing as well. As soon as you get into tape shit get's enterprise-y real quick. There are opensource tools to manage tape collections, but its not fun.

LTO tape libraries are fairly cheap to pick up second hand, its the cost of getting the newer drives that hurts.
It's been explained well. If you want to point out a fact that paints someone in a bad light, but you are concerned about the fact rather than making people feel bad, you say "I don't want to judge, but [what I say here implies a judgement.]"

For example: "I don't want to judge, but I bought a gallon of milk three days ago and didn't get to use a drop of it." My concern isn't that you feel bad about drinking the milk or to paint you as a milk thief to others, my concern is that I bought milk and I didn't get to drink it. I'm being forced to offer a judgement in order to talk about my own experience.
I would like to say first is that: we are all humans.

When you are passionate in the work you do, invest time and effort to completing work for someone to find flaws, it's hard to not be offended and take things personally.

But as humans, we are able to learn. You made a big step in being aware that you are taking criticism personally. From here, you need to learn to disassociate that what you contribute is not a byproduct of you as a person. It is a byproduct of the ask, a byproduct of your knowledge at that moment of when did your work.

To shift your perspective from immediately seeing feedback as a personal attack, practice gratitude. Be grateful that someone else took time from their busy day to look closely at your contribution and provide feedback. Sure, its their responsibility, but they invested their time to review the contribution and provide feedback that you did on your time. Sure, if the feedback is snarky, ask nicely to reword it for next time.

Third, take advantage of every opportunity as a learning opportunity. Maybe you will learn something, maybe you will be more aware of a specific type of feedback next time you are contributing, that you will try not to repeat the same error.

M discs were made, quite possibly to meet the Mormon need of post Armageddon lineage documentation, to last at a minimum of 1000 years in reasonable condition. They are just special, expensive CDRs that use a different dye system that won't break down in 4 years.

I don't know what the man said, only what the authorities reported. This is part of the danger of "hate speech" laws; if speech is deemed dangerous, discourse can be hidden behind public safety concerns and then wholly dismissed. It is then left to those who police speech to determine what is acceptable public discourse and what is not.
Nice trivia. One thing I don't understand, is they say the crew didn't know about the chestburster, but they had to have John setup under the table, with a fake torso. In the setup pic you can see he doesn't even have legs. Surely they could tell something was going to happen?

I have a complaint about Tesla on this one. In Europe they ship vastly better tail lights with a different color for turn signals. As I understand, the superior signals are acceptable, though not preferred, by US standards. But Tesla makes a separate, different, worse part to use in the US, rather than giving us the good stuff also and reducing their manufacturing variation.
Become your own worst critic, particularly of all your old code, while at the same time understanding that everything is imperfect and you need to get work done today. Helps if you stick around in a codebase for multiple years, so you start seeing all your old bugs, layered on top of all the previous authors bugs.

Generally speaking your approach seems good. You have the advantage of having “option” that are fairly easy to describe and rely more on the description of the business activity considered, not the law.

Take for example a LLC operating agreement. It might have a whole section about securities law and making sure all the members of the LLC are qualified investors, not on OFAC, Americans, fewer than 100 in number, not in need of liquidity, understand the risks, what have you. A closely held family farm would need none of this.

So in a commercial document templating service, “make sure none of the investors make our company ineligible to be an s-corp” would definitely be an option.

The design choice is whether you can get away with a user experience that asks the user “hey are you cool with not paying attention to a bunch of stuff investors might be interested in, but isn’t necessary to allow you to pass the farm to your kids?” Sure it’s a lot simpler not to have to know any of the law, and yes it’s impossible to really make the decision of which contract to use in an educated way without knowing a wide range of stuff.

I guess what I’m acknowledging is that my design suggestion of “be like west law” is mostly junk; you explicitly don’t want to do that because it would not spark any kind of customer joy (and plus, Westlaw is a thing already).
> Oh man, here we go down pedantic path

Welcome to HN?!

> Ok, you want enough control to say that any meeting-inclined person cannot join the company.

Ah, I see what you're seeing. I wasn't saying that, but I was. Between the lines, I was saying that I just want control to fire people who bring global productivity down. The reality is that this is a cultural issue (not having meetings except when actually necessary). Thus when someone is literally causing unnecessary meetings -- which to be clear, (un)necessary here is defined by the culture and peers, not by "me" though I'd be a large influence on that in the beginning -- they'd get reviewed as such by their peers.

I guess what I'm actually saying, is that I want the ability to have real and meaningful influence in a company's culture -- not just technically but socially as well. I like places that don't take themselves too seriously, where you have the space to solve hard problems if you need it but access to resources when you do. I usually see places I've worked where there were "meeting-spawners" (people who will soak up hundreds of man-hours in a single day to arrive at a conclusion that could have been solved more effectively in a single email) where you can't get the space to solve actual problems because you have days full of meetings about problems you can't get the space to solve that only need a few sentences of input from you.

In enterprise software I noticed software tends to work in a WUCT'ed up manner. Things may slow down over time, but no one complains about it because "the software is just slow", then suddenly one day you hit the timeout component of some higher layer and then the software is completely and utterly broke.

There are many [1] counties in California that come immediately to mind - but I digress.

I'll readily admit that things have changed - organized crime was indeed a much bigger problem in the past - but I might argue that even then the fault lay not with a lack of enforcement, but the existence of really, really dumb laws (prohibition). I might further argue that what organized crime is still problematic, is also a legislative rather than an enforcement issue (current prohibition, which we euphamize as the 'war on drugs').

Even if it's enforcement that's doing the work of eliminating the effects of organized crime on actual citizens - the potential for harm is way bigger from an organization with a monopoly on violence, a state mandate, and practically unlimited coffers.

It's functionality exposed by the drive as part of the tape standard, not something unique to vendor of the drive. Any LTO-aware software given the same key would be able to decrypt the data using any drive that can read that generation of tape.

That's probably one of the items on the list of reasons there are so few vendors in the space, LTO drives are essentially fungible and don't do anything interesting across vendors.

I think not wanting to pull packages in from the largest package ecosystem in JS land is a fairly marginal need which should only be catered to through a setting, if at all.

You can always not add NPM packages if that’s something that bothers you, and there are probably fairly simple ways to add a lint step that ensures you’re doing that by simply scanning your package.json (which makes me think…can’t you simply not add a package.json? The original direct URL library references will be around anyways).

I think the right phrase is something like "worth thinking about" rather than "common". It's like the "in the very unlikely event of a water landing..." you hear on airplanes. It is very unlikely but there's something relatively easy you can do that will improve your chances if it does happen.

Either way, it's disturbing that this might be "worth thinking about".

Thank you for pointing this out. I should have been more careful in my reading of the source material.
While brake lights are a fine and necessary signal, I find myself wishing that cars would display speed & acceleration deltas compared to the vehicle in front. Brake lights do not convey how much deceleration is occurring, so it's not immediately obvious how much time there is to impact.

As an example, I see lots of drivers do minor braking on US highways, where their small braking corrections will cause their tail lights to flash for a brief moment. These minor corrections become noise that drowns out the signal of significant, safety-related braking. If my vehicle could warn me that their rate of deceleration puts our vehicles on a collision course... now that would be very useful.
In a thirty years fixed mortgage, each payment includes a portion to paying down the principal and paying interest on the remaining principal.

In the beginning of the mortgage, the principal is higher, thus the interest portion is higher. In the first five years of a thirty year mortgage, a very small percentage goes towards the principal.

Assuming a thirty year fixed rate mortgage and a 7.5% interest rate, less than 15% of the mortgage payments in the first five years go to paying down the principal [1].

- "I read USA Today" ← A newspaper for babies

- "I read everything" ← Cop out answer and nobody buys it (which is what she said)

- "I read the Wall Street Journal" ← Actually this would be a really good answer because it's national scale and non-liberal, but it's hard to come up with in the moment

The whole point of the question is "reveal something about yourself" but whatever you reveal has positives and negatives that you need to weigh out beforehand. The point of being in the limelight longer is you can burn all your bad answers earlier before anyone cares about them and figure out your strategy.

I'm enjoying reading this "but they help the small towns they're in" spin Coindesk and Greenridge are going for.

There are plenty of other bitcoin miners in New York that do nothing to improve their host communities. I look to the mines at the top of the state, some of the largest ones like Coinmint that have barely any employees on the books and give nothing to the community, and in fact, continues to harm its local communities by essentially "hogging" low-cost power allocations that put the rest of the community's power prices in danger.

They destroyed Plattsburgh, now they're coming for even smaller, more vulnerable villages like Massena. If I paid for part of a new CT scanner, a Jaws of Life, a playground, and an LED sign, I'm sure people would think highly of my bullshit Delaware shell company, too.

However, consider how much do you worsen the experience of the majority, and how much do you improve it for the minority? I think that should factor into this decision.
