I'll just repeat my previous comment because I actually feel this is important: I've gotten absolutely zero enjoyment from the few that I've watched. They make me feel completely sick and scared for myself and my family and I think about how incomprehensibly horrible it must be to live through these events, either as someone who died or someone who watched or knew the person who died. However, I am much more careful with my daughter and prone to take precautions after having watch them. I think they provide value, I absolutely do not get the same effect from reading or learning about bad things that can happen to me, my brain just never really considered it a real option until I saw it happen. And yes, I probably have PTSD from them, but I am not a careful person naturally so I feel they have probably had a positive effect on me and made my family safer because of that.
I completely disagree with you, I've gotten absolutely zero enjoyment from the few that I've watched. They make me feel completely sick and scared for myself and my family. I am much more careful with my daughter and prone to take precautions though, after having watch them.

I saw someone killed on a lathe on liveleak and ever since that video I've taken tool safety EXTREMELY seriously. Like, I bought safety goggles and wear them for drilling random screws. I never even thought about it before that.
I was just thinking, maybe you could accept (detailed) proposals, and then the proposal writers would make a small commission when their proposal is selected, and then the implementer would also get paid for actually doing the work. This would help filter out drive-by contributions and payment would be determined by the helpfulness and difficulty of the proposal and effort to implement. You could have a maximum number of payouts per cycle, as well, and be upfront that payout is only guaranteed after the proposal is accepted by whatever process you put in place for review. Be upfront with high standards for the proposal review process as well. Still, I think it probably won't work.
Hire people to work on the project, so their incentives can align with yours. Like, its worth more to you for someone to spend a lot of time on the important issues and less or no time on the unimportant issues, but pay-by-issue would lead to people avoiding the difficult issues (important or not). You can increase the bounty for some issues but I doubt it will work.
As a current AWS employee, I can say I'm proud to be working for AWS (at least my organization) but incredibly embarrassed to be working for Amazon.
I had written a much more scathing comment about the Amazon side of the business but I'm not sure what is allowed under hacker news's community guidelines.
I think this is true when someone is speaking--liars often try to hide behind details which they think makes their stories believable and explains the discrepancies that they see in their own fabricated story. But I have the opposite perception of this narrative, I think it was written with the intention of being precise, and either his background as a journalist or the public nature of the issue are reasons enough to explain why he wrote with the detail that he did. I often try to write with precision and detail too, and it certainly doesn't mean I'm lying when I do.
You have to allow selling or else you risk forcing your customers to hold a stock while its price is dropping. Robinhood customers would be even more pissed about that.
This is neither incompetence nor surprising. Maybe you’ve only worked at large companies who have had time to optimize things for years (and even then, I see grotesque software decisions at my large company quite often). Try accepting that software is often written poorly optimized on the first pass, for good reason, and learn to celebrate the wins without needing to shame someone.
This rings true. As soon as it was politicized neither side will budge an inch. And scientific progress requires people being able to admit they were wrong in the face of new evidence. Egos should not be wrapped up in how many feet at which social distancing is effective and how effective masks are and when lockdowns should be enforced or let up. Its really unfortunate and, in my opinion, goes to show the two party system is bad for democracy, science, progress, etc. We need more polictical parties and ranked choice voting, and less blind following of one's parties ideals/agenda/candidates.
As helm charts become used by more people and more complicated, exposing more of the underlying config, they just turn into a set of yaml files with as much or more complexity as the thing they are trying to replace. Configuration with intelligence that allows arbitrary overrides of any of the underlying configuration is important in order to meet all use cases. Without that, helm will only be useful for a strict subset of use cases and eventually you will outgrow the chart, or the chart will grow in complexity until its worthless.
My daughter is only 1, and has gone to daycare through the entire pandemic, but I can say with near certainty that if she was a few years older, I would rather hire a nanny to take her to the park everyday rather than put her in a virtual kindergarten class. It sounds absolutely awful and pointless. I don't see how a child could learn anything from it.
Would a possible recovery method be to roll the plane somewhat so that when the nose is forced down, it doesn't take the plane directly toward the ground?
100M seems insanely high, beyond what anything man made would be able to contain. Is it extremely short lived? Or over a very small area? Very interesting.
My experience is completely different from yours in regards to every single point you make. Working at a big company (amazon) has increased my salary significantly, made me better technically, and noticeably made it easier for me to find a job elsewhere afterwards (this could be because my technical skill were better afterwards, and I had more experience). Additionally, I actually loved my team at Amazon. My manager was incredibly empathetic and caring, far more than any managers I have had at smaller companies before. I just wanted to provide a different perspective, and show that generalizing about companies, especially large ones, is a bad idea and often grossly incorrect. Your experience and the people you talked to (likely) represent a very small part of the whole company.
Same problem, I never check any notes I write on a computer or phone. A physical planner for me is the way to go, I'm not sure why I tend to check it more often but I do. I also enjoy writing in it quite a bit more, I can draw diagrams or doodle if I feel like it. I bought a notebook with a dot grid for this reason.
It would be pretty annoying if he was making all this up. Posting a signed random quote does not prove anything. Signing something provably recent is better, especially if that is message akin to "Satoshi is Craig".
I am an American. I love trains. Taking the train is 1000x times more enjoyable than driving for me, even if it takes longer (within reason). Seriously, I think time spent driving is almost completely wasted. Train rides can be spent doing whatever the hell I want, including eating Captain Crunch while reading Kurt Vonnegut (my favorite pastime). Yes, before you start, I can also do this while driving; but I promise you--its much less enjoyable.
> It's patently obvious that it's worthless. What possible use does it serve? Morbid curiosity is the best you can say for it.
Just curious, how much time have you spent using it? How much of the source have you read? How carefully did you read this article? Because if your answers to those questions are what I think they are, then you're just a dick.
