But if they could get more people on board, they wouldn't be 80% full. Or are you referring to the times they're completely full, which would go up by 6 seats? Then 6 doesn't get added to the entire average.
So how did Microsoft get Google to promote the Scroogled campaign? The article claims this is what happened but there is no information about it or proof or any sort of logical link, only about MS publishing the C&D letter.
Hi, author here. Feel free to ask any questions.
I've seen almost no good data on this, but a few suggestions that (at least in construction), the extra hours worked compensate for the lower productivity. You get more done in 60 hours than 40, which certainly fits my experience.

http://www.overcomingbias.com/2011/12/construction-peak-60hr...

This paper (paywall, sorry) suggests a 10% increase in time worked only reduces productivity by 2.4% (in manufacturing).

http://www.emeraldinsight.com/journals.htm?articleid=848285&...

The little empirical evidence I've seen suggests the OP will produce more if she works more. This certainly fits my experience.

But if anyone has good data sources on knowledge workers, I'd love to see it. There isn't actually much good data out there.
They dont publicize "Dont be evil" much these day. True. They shouldnt even.
Well they've kept constantly adding major missing parts, which likely added a lot to their market.

One month, web sites, another virtual machines, then Hadoop. Oh, wait, and mobile services. The list goes on; they've catched up with Amazon on offerings more or less.

Oh and let's not forget that Azure support is fucking awesome.
It's been two years of putting "more wood behind fewer arrows" and all they could come up with is a Pinterest-lookalike thingie. For an outsider like me it's really, really frustrating, they have all this data and smart engineers and all they can think about is winning every battle and not realizing that they're losing the war.

And just to make sure, "the war" is not against Facebook, Microsoft or any short-term, market-driven non-sense, "the war" and fight itself should be related to trying to reach the Singularity, trying to make us (the human species) less dependent on only one potential point of failure (this planet) etc.
Google Glass is only the most anticipated product in the echo chamber of tech. The bans are an indicator from the rest of the world that Google Glass may not be the greatest product idea after all.

Just last quarter, Windows Phone shipped on 6 million phones and Windows 8 sold total 100 million licensees. Someone who likes them is the "only one" and is "far, far out of the mainstream?".

Also what's up with people launching ad hominem attacks on people liking Windows instead of commenting on the topic on hand? What has your post got to do with Google blocking and refusing to make a YouTube app for Windows Phone?

> All of this is done at Google - there's extensive monitoring for all production systems, with alerts firing once parameters move outside of their statistical "normal" range. In practice the range tends to get set more by "How tight can we make it before we get really annoyed by these pagers?" than any rigorous statistical method, but the run-time operation carefully measures average & extreme values and determines when a spike is just a momentary anomaly vs. when it's worth paging someone.

Really, "All"?

First question is, 'parameters'. Usually, and likely
at Google, they are monitoring just one parameter
at a time. This is a really big bummer. E.g., even if
do this for several parameters, are forced into assuming
that the 'healthy and well' geometry of the parameters is
just a rectangle. Bummer that hurts the combination of
false alarm rate and detection rate.

Next, the "normal range" is a bummer because it assumes
that what is healthy and well is just a 'range', that is,
an interval, and this is not always the case. The result,
again, is a poor combination of false alarm rate and detection rate.

Again, yet again, please read again, just for you, as I wrote very clearly, to do well just must be multi-dimensional. I doubt that there is so much as a single
large server farm or network in the world that is doing
anything at all serious working with multidimensional
data for monitoring. Not one.

Next, your remark about false alarm rate points to
a problem I point out is solved: The method, with meager
assumptions, permits knowing false alarm rate in advance and
setting it, actually setting it exactly.

For how many and what variables to monitor, yes, that is a question that
can need some overview of the server farm or network
and some judgment, but there is some analytical work
that should help.

For "rigorous" statistics, the point is not 'rigor' but
useful power. Being multidimensional, knowing false alarm
rate and being able to adjust it, etc. are powerful.
Anecdotal, but my Neuxs 7 broke the other day and I was pleasantly surprised with the Google Play customer support. They solved my problem very quickly.

I run crunchbang on a 6 year old Core 2 Duo desktop machine and it runs really well.

Why you should try it:

- noob friendly, you don't have to compile from source or
read the manual for hours to see what flags
you need (compared to gentoo or arch)
- Lightweight
- Perfect for web browsing, irc etc
- Beautiful font rendering (much better than windows)
- Extremely friendly and helpful community forums
- Beautiful non-bloated minimal UI, you don't have to spend hours customizing
- Boots in around 6-7 seconds on my machine
"Ad hominem" is only an appropriate term to use if I was saying that he was making an argument, but that his argument was wrong because of some defect in his character. It isn't just used for any time anyone mentions the other person in a conversation.

In this case, no argument was made. He simply said "The things I care about seem to be opposite of the things you care about". That's not an argument, it's just a personal statement. Even if ad hominem WERE the correct term, it would be even LESS appropriate here, because he was the one who brought up his own tastes in the first place.

EDIT: And to respond to the rest of your post, numbers like those are meaningless. Unless they're presented in a comparative context, they're very much like showing someone a graph without its axes labeled.

So for comparative purposes, Windows Phone shipped on that many devices. Great. How many Android and iPhone devices were shipped in the same period?
I found Google+ great for collaborating with the maker community. The strength is use cases that involve discovery of pictures (&diagrams) + discussion of ideas/things, as the communities feature works well for this. Adafruit is making great use of hangouts as well. However, I find that Twitter & Facebook work much better than G+ as news feeds.
Okay, let us assume that he does, so what? A lot of people work for Microsoft, Google and Apple and post on HN.

I didn't see a sign up message on HN stating that only Google and Apple employees/fans are allowed to post here.

Nice job at trying to derail the discussion. Now care tell us what do you think of the topic of this story instead of trying to go ad hominem on a tangent about some HN commenter's posting history which has nothing to do with anything really?

> Internet giants, you’re no longer startups, get some customer service

That's like demanding that a slaughterhouse provides customer service for cows. You're not the customer, you are a peasant. Google's business is not providing infrastructure, it's aggregating and selling information, no matter what outwards appearance they like to give themselves.
These are big words considering Google is the biggest thief in the history of the world. But who cares about intellectual property anyway?
About a year and a half ago I tried out about a dozen "light" linux distros on a really crappy old Compaq my dad had picked up for a couple bucks. I think it had 128 MB of RAM. (Maybe 256?)

Crunchbang was one of only two distros that ran well, and the other one (puppy) was hideously ugly. If you need a graphical linux desktop on a machine where memory is limited, you should give Crunchbang a try.

(As an aside, there was one "lightweight" distro that used the Ubuntu installer, which had a higher memory requirement than the distro itself. I suggested that maybe this be mentioned on the requirements page, but the developer said he didn't see the point. >.<)
Just by saying that microsoft has done bad to us wont change the tarnished image of google.

Ironically In my experience startups got better customer service 90% of the time.

Yeah also let's EU to dictate everything, since they have been doing such as a good job(!). While we were in there they can also pass couple of more stupid cookie laws.

Thanks for these. Now what we need is something like Reddit Companion [1], which injects a toolbar to visited pages so that you can just click on a story and then go to the comments.

If that sounds un-noteworthy: Ordinarily, if you open a story link, it's somewhat cumbersome to get to the HN comments. I typically open the HN comments first, then follow the link to the story, so that I can always use the back button to get the comments. Or I open the HN comments in a separate tab, then the story. If I'm less than careful, I'll open the story, go to lunch, come back and not find the HN comments because it's dropped off the front page and the HN title is so different from the story headline that it's impossible except by brute force.

Government's role in part is to enact laws to prevent one party from harming another.

They can (and have) destroyed businesses just by blocking access to people's google accounts. Without any warning.
Wow, are you serious? I knew the US approach to these things is weird but this is shocking. How can you fire someone for briefly looking at something they happened to find on the web? You never know what you can find on the web and not everything is labeled, so you can always find something by accident.

There's a big difference between spending hours at work looking through porn and reading one article which happens to have one nude drawing at the bottom. I find it hard to believe that someone leading a big company in the US can not realize that.

They already have enough relationships with governments around the world for all of their data centers and other projects (maps, mail, youtube, etc.) that I think they could do a decent job on this. I expect it'll still be several years before it's a decent competitor to paypal but it'll be nice to finally get some competition in that space (low overhead global payments without a merchant account).

What is the difference between CrunchBang and a standard Debian installation with Openbox as the window manager and no desktop environment (which has been my exact my setup for more than 5 years now) ?

From what I see CrunchBang is even less lightweight than my Debian + Openbox setup: for instance it comes with a graphical file manager (I see Thunar on the screenshots) and a lot of other software (graphical IDE, VLC…) that I might never need and would prefer to install on demand when I need them if that ever happens.

Totally agree on this. To put it another way, charge for product (value delivered) not process.
No, I don't think any of those actions are evil.

The truth is; many countries (known examples; US, China, India, Turkey, Argentina) , significantly manipulate inflation and jobless stats, by playing with the contents and weight of the baskets used or definitions of job seekers/willingness to work.

Making a universal email message have bespoke instructions for a specific mail provider. Call me old fashioned but I don't like that. Infact I still like to read my e-mails in plain text.

Also, I dare say, not so useful for the many of us accessing gmail via Mac devices' mail clients.
Some of his other projects are pretty impressive as well - I'm taken by the FORTH computers myself.
Not to be an asshole about it, but design work is not software engineering (which I assume the GP was talking about).
The buttons appear in the subject line in your inbox, so you can click them without opening the mail first. I think the use cases are fairly limited, but I can think of a few interesting ones (for example, bugzilla notifications could link directly to the bugzilla page, mailing lists could have a "manage subscription" button, etc)
Or quote on deliverables providing estimates for development time, then charge quoted prices for those deliverables (fractionally based on progress if the customer is hours-focused). Be honest about this.

So if you estimate something at 40h @$100/h and get it half done in four hours, bill 20h. This is a two edged sword — estimate well. (Do charge for scope creep though.)

I give clients the option of being billed this way or by the hour. The argument for this option is fixed costs and at least some guarantee of satisfaction. They're also paying for results and not activity.
