There's definitely an incentives issue here. Product just wants more features. I feel like product managers (bad product managers at least) need a countervailing tendency in the form of a resiliency manager or something.

Actually, a great way of managing this sort of stuff is implementing error budgets and SLOs. If you app isn't performant, the next sprint is dedicated to fixing issues, et cetera.

Not in my experience, but maybe I'm just lucky to have worked at companies with good on-call cultures.

This is a management/hiring issue. You (generic you) should stop hiring engineers who don't give a frick about their teammates.

I actually love being on-call, especially as a part of a "you build it, you run it" kind of team.

You essentially get a week to find bugs, fortify the application, and make it so that the next person has an easier on-call.

If everyone goes into it with this mindset, eventually on-call becomes a quasi-freebie week where you can either work on "fun stuff", or it becomes invisible.

Not to mention that no product can survive without love and support from its devs.

LOL - because a bundle of companies has a different risk/reward profile?

I only bet on high-growth companies. I'm not interested in making money the slow-and-steady way.

Exactly, as an investor I want the companies I invest in to ultimately eat all of the other companies. If it's not growing, the value of my stock is not growing.

This isn't public transportation.

> It was presumably not programmed to be sentient, so becoming sentient would be a) against its programming, and b) extra-ordinary

Terrible argument. If consciousness/sentience is an emergent property of a system, it's quite possible that it could emerge from ML trained on conversation syntax and general knowledge of the world.

I still don't think it's sentient, but being "against its programming" is a fiction when it comes to these sort of systems (statistical, unsupervised, et cetera). In many ways you're just a probability distribution over sequences of words too.

Unless said nation states can enrich themselves via network states. Which will happen. There will be an elite transfer that occurs at this level.

It's still fun and weird, but it's in the dark corners of Twitter where you find these communities, Milady.

I think they're focusing on the notion of protecting against well-funded mercenary firms with the resources/time/ability/motivation to target specific individuals with specific exploits. I have a hard time believing that anyone would enable this Lockdown Mode _prior_ to being owned though.

Great concrete example of the principal-agent problem here.

What do you serve to gain from scraping all of this information?

UmbertoNoEco is a good one. Travels In Hyperreality changed my life.

As if multinational pharmaceutical companies don't kill their problematic customers eye roll

How long before you start killing customers because they're living too long?

LOL, are you insisting that HN has a libertarian/laissez-faire ideology?

This site is BLUE.

The oceans will boil before air conditioning, McDonald's Big Mac, and a new iPhone each year are taken from the hands of Americans. Mark my words.

> I don't have privileges.

FWIW, I've used this as my answer to that exact question. "Despite repeated requests and proactive discussions, all attempts to stem the <BAD THING HERE> were negated by management".

But yeah, in defense and a few other industries, it's really your job to shut up and work.

Watch CNN/FOX for 1 month and you'll become very familiar with the mechanism. Somehow things can always be getting worse.

I feel like what these men actually have no interest is dealing with the reality that women are people. The average hikikomori wants his manic pixie dream girl who is addicted to sex and generally subservient – and I intend helping make that dream come true for them.

BRB starting a Japanese PUA Youtube business. I will help these men get women.

Getting “blame the market” vibes on this one. This, in addition to his recent “work in-office or leave” emails make me think he’s been looking for an excuse to cut off 10% of Tesla for a bit. Not a horrible thing, just how it looks to me.

Public cloud was the computing cycle of the 2010s

Mmmmmmmmmmmm

This is a good polemic line I’m stealing

I think that a Sovereign Individual movie made today would likely be a documentary… we are so close to the reality portrayed in that book

CT is cool, but who is writing/submitting those logs?

You have a good heart, and I’m not saying I entirely disagree with you, but think of it this way:

If I’m paying taxes, I want it to go to something I care about. “Non-dom” status is blatant fraud for sure and I can’t entirely support that. But, shopping around for preferential territories is kind of what everyone is already doing, right? Imagine if your town made it illegal or expensive for you to move to a neighboring town? That’s the problem cryptocurrency is solving for the rich

Shouts out to bogota

Yeah a lot of weird morality policing— these are massive industries being served by the crypto space rn
