> For example, people have more ways to search for information than ever before — and increasingly this is happening outside the context of only a search engine. Often the answer is just a click or an app away: You can ask Alexa a question from your kitchen; read your news on Twitter; ask friends for information via WhatsApp; and get recommendations on Snapchat or Pinterest. When searching for products online, you may be visiting Amazon, eBay, Walmart, or any one of a number of e-commerce providers, where most online shopping queries happen. Similarly, in areas like travel and real estate, Google faces strong competition for search queries from many businesses that are experts in these areas.

I like how they've mentioned competitors as if they want to take a stand against regulations together while also enacting a feeling that there's enough competition within each of these markets.

Opposed to both. I should have been clearer.

As the parent comment appears to assume that the decisions taken by the government in Kashmir are tied to the terrorism in the valley as opposed to being mere line items in their manifesto that stems from their political ideology. So assuming what they're saying is correct, I only wish to understand the metric for peace.

Let's not push the narrative of Kashmir being peaceful after the abrogation of Article 370 without any meaningful metric for the same.

Not that I disagree with what you're saying but can you please clarify what you mean by "third-world approach"? It seems to imply some sort of inferiority compared to "first-world".

> I always wonder: when their week is over, where do people find refuge? Sports, hobbies, entertainment? I just don't understand how people can think about leaving this world without having something that is really their own. How do you live when you're just a consumer? What happens if you lose friends? In my own conception of life, I just don't understand how people can not feel lost if they don't create something that stems from their own selves.

Personally I'm happy to be with myself. I spend most of my idle time reading, talking to my loved ones and reflecting on my days. I'm not sure if I call myself just a consumer because I don't enjoy going out to drink, try new restaurants or purchase things I have no need of.

Regarding what happens if you lose friends. Keeping your friends close to you takes effort. I try to stay in touch with my closest friends and take interest in their lives.

Lastly, I have no desire to leave an imprint on this world as my own creation. What I do desire the most is to create an impact in the lives of people I do care about. So far this impact is limited in sharing my thoughts about philosophy, science and society.

I feel this is much more applicable to SRE and Ops Engineers where performing, rehearsing and practicing is much more applicable.

Where I work, SRE work on their own tooling that is synonymous to releasing. They rehearse in the form of conducting weekly drills like failovers. The rest is similar to what is written in OP.

Thank you for sharing this! I have always organized my directories similar to concepts explained here but the introducing of decimals adds that extra attribute that helps with searching records in the future.

I started organizing my local files and Dropbox. I'm hoping to eventually organize my Personal and Work Google Drive as well.

Isn't what you described an example of how buses work. I know very little about the state of public transport in SF but if it was better won't it solve what Chariot tried to do?

Where exactly are these unwritten tipping laws written? I've been living in US for the last one year and I feel that the entire tipping culture is a social custom that you are expected to adhere by. I was told that I should always tip at least a $1 per drink at a bar or cafe and I've been doing that but I notice that people go for "No Tip" on these iPads.

So if most people are choosing "No Tip", where did this unwritten rules of tipping go. If I should be concerned of living wage, why is there no consumer pressure on business owners to make these changes? If people keep on complying with this unwritten culture of tipping, most people will always be in a dilemma when they are expected to tip.

I probably don't understand their architecture well enough since they don't try and explain it in detail. The blame is also put on microservices whereas it's the architecture that can be fixed to improve performance and the cost of deployment.

A shared library works up until a certain point. If every service uses a shared library then you are already getting to a world of a monorepo. A monorepo for different services should work fine if the overall architecture is feasible.

Something very similar had happened to me at my previous company. Our team was not as small as yours, rather pretty big.

So the story goes something like this. I was given stocks after having worked there for around six months. Their rationale behind it was that you need to earn stocks at [company] and I totally get that.

After a total 17 months at the company I decided that I wanted to leave and had a conversation with my manager regarding the same, they were ready to let me go. But they did not let me decide my exit date. My first set of options were set to mature in another week and they asked me to leave.

When I get my full and final settlement, I was given cash for my stocks. I wanted to exercise my options and keep them, but instead they cashed them out for me.

I have always wanted to build something like this since I was a kid. The biggest driving thought was to make traffic signals dynamic and build a central communication system for a city's transport.

Really glad to see a product coming into the regular consumer space for this :)
