Are they doing well? For example Toyota sells 5x as many cars, but has 1/5th the market cap. Low sales but high market cap is normally a dangerous situation to be in unless you're sure you have some massive tech advantage that will keep you growing fast. Tesla sales leveled off a few years ago, and now show no indication of ever catching up with the other car companies.

At first they were way ahead technology wise with the first really practical EVs on the market, but seem to be falling behind fast. For example Porsche/VW/Audi released 800v production cars 4 years before Tesla did- and those cars still beat all of the S models on a real track with way lower paper specs. Waymo/Google has self driving tech that works demonstrably way better than Teslas. The offroad vehicle/traction systems on the Cybertruck don't work as well as any of the established 4x4 companies products- or for that matter even any of the 20 year old high end SUVs like a Porsche Cayenne or a Land Cruiser.

What is their advantage that justifies the insanely high evaluation with low sales?

>high salaries because of the high cost of living

high salaries will cause high cost of living more than high cost of living will require high salaries (because those jobs could just move away (except for those jobs that can't move away because they are needed to support industries with high pay))

Where does this “directory of active users” exist? If it is controlled by slack, then you are relying on a failed startup to properly notify ALL the 3rd parties when they shut down. Failed startups don’t always shut down cleanly like that.
> I'm not entirely clear on what you expect in this case?

Not parent-poster, but from what I can piece together it sounds like the distinction between Google attesting that:

1. This is the person who currently controls the same e-mail address.

2. The is the person who currently controls a sub-account of the same Google Workspace which was in the past identified by this e-mail address.

> You've sold the domain. Assets associated with the domain are under the control of a new party.

True, but that "control" does not (and should not) automatically mean legal ownership of every kind of internet account that was ever made with that e-mail address.

While the prior-controller has a degree of responsibility, so does Google when it knows that ownership of those other facets were not transferred.

> This feels a lot like complaining that you hired a lawn service and told them to mow at your address, and then didn't update the address or cancel service after you moved.

I feel the analogy need at least three kinds of party: The old/new home owners, the lawn-cutting service, and a marketplace or middleman which is failing to pass along the change in ownership.

Part of the problem is that investors use "total open job listings" as a factor for making an investment decision. If there are a lot then the business must be healthy!

VCs actively encourage putting up fake listings, under the guise of "opportunistic hiring".

This definitely cuts costs, but I’m still unclear what Meta’s long term business plan is. They’re giving away Llama to get open source contributions to help them… do what?
Going thru this now with an 11 yo and 14 yo.

It’s a non-stop, swash-buckling battle to get them to put down their phones and do literally anything IRL.

Yes. This was a major pain point when I was getting started. The IRC community has been helpful in this regard. I also really don't like that nixpkgs serves as both a lib and a package set. Be one! I don't want "special" inputs in my config.

Used to work for Amazon, did plenty of interviews.

There is still a demand for competent engineers in big companies, the issue is that most people who claim they can code aren't problem solvers in the sense of reasoning through a solution, but rather trying to find something that they have done in the past and shoehorn the current problem into that solution.

This is why even on this thread, people are trying to tell you to grind out Leetcode - the idea is that you memorize enough patterns to be able to solve the problems.
As I posted elsewhere when this was asked yesterday: "there’s a big difference between running a service on volunteers, and having full-time folks to keep things running / answer the regulation discussions / keep maintaining / keep adding the features that folks are looking for. This is not primarily an infrastructure spend. There’s also an amount of legal work involved, unfortunately. So, those are some of the elements we’re looking at."

Now, I cannot give you a line-by-line account of the budget estimate that went into that number (you can look at the 2023 report https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/12/annual-report-2023/ with the 2024 report coming sometime in Q1 of this year I think, more timely anyway; and you'll see that's a big upswing / optimistic forward-looking goal); but, it is lower than some other non-profits, foundations, and other efforts elsewhere.

So by all means ask whether that number is valid, but also look around at other OSS efforts. I'd also point out that these are critical times for the future of the open social web, and we (all of us) need to sustain it.

Well, if the user isn't going to be sharing the GPU with another task then you could push things back to install-time. In other words: At install time you conduct a benchmark on the relevant shaders, rewrite as necessary, recompile, and save the results accordingly. Now the user has a version of your shaders optimized to their particular configuration. Since installation times are already somewhat lengthy anyway you can be reasonably certain that no one is going to miss an extra minute or two needed to conduct benchmarks, especially if it results in installing optimized code.
I used to judge parents who resorted to tablets to keep their children quiet. I don't really anymore. You don't know how exhausted the parents might be or how many hours they've already spent trying to entertain their kids in a more wholesome manner.

I've taken a 2 year old on vacation and some of that time is spent going to unique restaurants that take a couple of hours for a meal. My toddler would get bored and squirmy and would quickly ruin dinner for the entire restaurant. Same thing for airplanes. Of course I don't resort to it immediately but if talking, interacting, and other toys don't do the trick, iPad is a very useful tool in the arsenal. A carefully curated list of educational, offline content is acceptable in my opinion.

Grocery store, or any other short errand? Sure, that's too much.
What you said seems contradictory. You open with the premise that intelligent youth go the finance / CS / MBA path instead of engineering and then say that those who do go into traditional engineering can’t find jobs. Couldn’t it be that people don’t go into engineering because there aren’t any jobs? Wouldn’t the lack of jobs explain the low salaries and thus the preference for more high paying alternatives?
Sure, of course aggregation makes no sense when there are only two options. But we recently traveled internationally to an extremely populated place with literally hundreds of hotels, and these aggregation services were invaluable in deciding where to stay.
You know what they say about assumptions! I have no cell phone and dont own a car. I dont need either and truly feel pity for those who do, realistically or otherwise, feel they need one. Im not interested in playing a fatalistic game of race-me-to-the bottom.

Surveillance isn't even my main concern. It's the hijacking of people's attention, and the way it makes people think that they can somehow live out their life on the internet in a way that's comparable to real life, that makes me upset and has soured me on the internet.

I'm surprised to see Poland ahead of so many richer countries, like France, Italy, Spain and Portugal. CoL is also almost certainly lower in Poland.

Polish SEs are very good, that's not my point! Rather, I am surprised Polish salaries caught up and exceeded many Western European economies on a national basis, and more so adjusted for CoL.
I'm struggling to describe the levels of skepticism that I'm feeling right now.
No doubt. I want to reiterate my point. Citing myself:

> "I personally won't use either on a single disk system as root FS, regardless of how fast my storage subsystem is." (emphasis mine)

We are no strangers to filesystems. I personally benchmarked a ZFS7320 extensively, writing a characterization report, plus we have a ZFS7420 for a very long time, complete with separate log SSDs for read and write on every box.

However, ZFS is not saturation proof, plus is nowhere near a Lustre cluster performance wise, when scaled.

What kills ZFS and BTRFS on desktop systems are write performance, esp. on heavy workloads like system updates. If I need a desktop server (performance-wise), I'd configure it accordingly and use these, but I'd never use BTRFS or ZFS on a single root disk due to their overhead, to reiterate myself thrice.
Yes. If you've set up your Slack so each login checks against the identity provider to ensure an active user is logging in, that would resolve the issue, no?

Even if you take over company.com's domain you can't reconfigure company.com's Slack to point to a new identity provider?
Either slack or some other third party provider could have a whitelist maintained by IT?

Just spitballing.

The TL;DR is that our security research team routinely hunts for various vulnerabilities in tools developers use. In this particular case, we looked at a potential dependency confusion attack in Cursor, but found no vulnerabilities.

There's no malicious intent or action here, but I can certainly understand how it appears when there's not a ton of information and things like this occur! As a sidenote, I use Cursor all the time and love it <3

Do you think if Linux and Windows magically swapped their market position, there would continue to be far more malware targeting Windows than Linux, or do you think it might be possible that, much like every other kind of software, malware developers target the most common and popular platforms?
> I are seeing parents give their two year olds a tablet which is absolutely detrimental to their development.

My kid couldn't care less about using a tablet or other device if there is any other activity on the table. In other words, for them to reach the point of using, I have to be completely ignoring them.

Is it really the device that leads to developmental detriment, or parents who aren't involved in their childrens' lives?
One would say this is reverse colonialism under the cover of globalization. Still don't understand why well-off of nations are supposed to provide jobs for other nations which have growing economies and where the high skilled workers already make a very comfortable wage for their societies. Can someone explain why the US has to generate jobs for foreigners when their own societies can't generate them themselves?
That's fair and might be true, but not all platforms specifically say that's how they go about it. The TikTok community guidelines don't distinguish between illegal and legal violence, they ban all promotions of violence. Maybe they only enforce it against illegal violence, but then they're following their community guidelines incorrectly, albeit, maybe consistently incorrectly.

I mean, sky's the limit.
That might be true. I guess the point I was thinking of was more related to the cost of producing new vs recycling or disposing of. I think that in a lot of cases,the cost of producing new does not take into account the lifecycle of the product - it does not factor in the cost to retrieve it to be burnt, it does not factor in the cost to develop and implement technology like carbon capture. It seems that the industry that creates plastic does not pay for its proper disposal, which is why it is so cheap to make new plastic.
Matt's a known liar, and that 4000/hours a week includes a lot of stuff that doesn't involve working on code. (For example, Matt is including time spent censoring the WP forums, and harassing event sponsors in that time.) Given that the bulk of the WordPress team quit last year, I'd be surprised if they're even spending a 100 hours/week as a company right now on anything related to code right now.

But if we're going by hours...the WP Community as a whole probably spent several hundred thousand hours on maintaining or improving WP last week.
The staying power of a Google = bad article on HN top page is insane.

Sure, but DankStartup failed and doesn’t exist anymore. If I am just a lowly employee, I can’t force the failed startup owners to properly shutdown, and now my payroll information is available to hackers.

What is my remedy?
Indeed. It's just bullshit, propaganda.

There's simply no real reason we can't have a deep and robust manufacturing base in America. Well except for the fact that some specific people made a whole lot of money while letting it fall apart, and have paid for decades of media relations trying to convince everyone otherwise.

If you're reading this statement I just made and want to instinctively disagree with me, start by interrogating your own opinion. Why do you think America can't compete with China, for example, over the long term? What "well everyone knows" facts are you using to create that opinion that you don't have any first hand relationship to.

How toxic waste from the US ends up in a neighborhood in Mexico
Because historically, owning a house has been very affordable and lumber is abundant because the landscape was not denuded for firewood over the course of millennia.

Lumber is not timber. Lumber can be moved about by a single pair of hands and fastened with nails...American construction takes advantage of the industrial revolution and uses commodity nails.

Worth noting that where Americans use concrete and brick, they also use steel reinforcing so that their buildings don't collapse brittle collapse from earthquakes and wind.
No, that's a common economy thinking flaw -- assuming there's a finite amount of work to be done.

Short-term -- yes, but same as with luddites -- everyone benefits from the increased productivity of your company/city/state/country. New businesses grow, more productive companies take over business from others. So salaries raise as a whole. I would really want my city to have an influx of high-skilled workers. Even if they are higher-skilled than me -- my business would serve them and make more money.
btrfs has similar aims to ZFS, but is far less mature. i used it for my root partitions due to it not needing DKMS, but had many troubles. i used it in a fairly simple way, just a mirror. one day, of the drives in the array started to have issues- and btrfs fell on it's face. it remounted everything read-only if i remember correctly, and would not run in degraded mode by default. even mdraid would do better than this without checksumming and so forth. ZFS also likewise, says that the array is faulted, but of course allows it to be used. the fact the default behavior was not RAID, because it's literally missing the R part for reading the data back, made me lose any faith in it. i moved to ZFS and haven't had issues since. there is much more of a community and lots of good tooling around it.

Indeed. If you're on a team where the bottom 5% are always getting culled, eventually you're going to find yourself in the bottom 5%. That's just math.

Sounds like a good way to turn a functioning team into Survivor Island.
My guess is no, it won't. This is US taxpayer money being used to increase the manufacturing capacity available to the market so that the US has domestic manufacturing when stuff goes sideways. A similar thing regularly occurs with auto manufacturing and manufacturing in country A usually frees up capacity for other countries, resulting in slightly lower prices.

What could happen is that once the US has manufacturing capacity it decides to tariff imported chips, causing your country to retroactively do the same. This is decades away, and the US has a problem sourcing chips it can trust right now, so it's not currently on the radar. It's not something I'm going to worry about.

Viewed through a pessimistic eye, the US finally is realizing that its arms production critically relies on chip production and it can't says its chips are US made when selling arms on the market. A change in mindset like this typically takes a generation and so even though this change in weapons really happened around the turn of the century, the people in power have mostly retired and the new generation now understands this reality.
No, take home is less, and we pay for our healthcare, it's part of mandatory social contributions (on top of taxes, that are normally higher too).

At least in Germany we do have more paid time off though, but I don't think that's enough to offset the salary gap with the US
You’re both utterly thoughtless since you’d consider withdrawing money rather than taking taking relatively low interest loans out against that equity, leaving the bulk of your millions to appreciate longer
