My PoV is that it's an open question whether this is a fruitful approach. If you search for "meta-prompting" you'll find some discussions/papers on the topic.

It depends if you are talking about Okta's "Workforce Identity cloud" which is their flagship product under the Okta name and serves businesses needing an IDP to manage their employees. Or if you are looking for "Custome

I’m gonna go to bat for Slack on this one and say the “Later” feature they added recently has completely changed my workflow for the better. It’s so simple, but removes all the cognitive overhead of feeling pressured to deal with specific m

With these non-IPO companies doing layoffs is the correct way to read these announcements "we are letting people go to lower expenses because we are not profitable and are actually at risk of running out of money" or is it more &q

I feel like this article is making a bigger deal out of Palm Court than need be. I have been there; yes, if you do any research at all you know your getting ripped off on food prices. But for a date night of just wandering around the show r

Do you mean for a mid-level engineer with experience, or a college grad like the parent comment? My impression is if you were to try rest-and-vesting as an L3 (junior) SWE at any FAANG firm, you are eventually going to get PIP'ed out.

I thought of this immediately when watching the keynote, but then they mentioned they used GPS technology, and I figured they would be passively monitoring to confirm that for the past X minutes the phone has likely been in a car (non-walki

Actually curious, do you hold the same standard for print media (a newspaper/magazine ad), out-of-home (billboard), and television advertising? How do you primarily discover businesses and products?

I wasn't around then but is it possible that we have learned more about B2B SaaS since the mid-90s through trial and error? And the conclusion the industry has come to is Microsoft would have been better off at that time with more sell

Go-To-Market or often referred to as GTM is a common term used within the B2B SAAS space. The term is thrown around quite a bit if you work in that sector. Like others said, it is primarily concerned with all things revenue (obtaining and r

This threat seems to be specifically about sales not meeting quota, and therefore the Google Cloud org not meeting its revenue goals. I suppose one interpretation is that the sales compensation structure is flawed, and not incentivizing sel

This isn't true in my experience at least for ad tech. Finger printing has moved from a deterministic process, to probabilistic models and IP plays a meaningful role in that. I believe it is why Apple spent the time building Private Re

As many people have pointed out these are for tracking the performance of ad traffic. Savvy, "privacy minded" businesses may listen to this sort of outrage, and pull the pixels off their websites. But you are kidding yourself if y

I'm no fan of Amazon, but I did walk through the 4-star shop in Mall of America while Christmas shopping last year, and I liked it. I thought it was a cool space, filled to the brim with various interesting oddities. There was a long l

Going to echo all the other positive comments. This is the most fun variation I have played. On my first try I failed to complete it, then went and did a practice round with some smarter initial word choices and won (barely!)

Perhaps a 15-30 year old thing, but for those people in my B/C/D list (never thought about it that way before), one thing I do is if they are active on Instagram I will send a response to their story if it looks interesting. More

This is cool, and the linked Medium article helped me wrap my head around the security of Bitcoin wallets. I have wondered in the past why people mine blocks, but not try to “mine”/hack existing wallets. It would be cool to add a runni

Merry Christmas to the entire Hacker News community. I am so grateful for this funny orange site, and the people who gather here.

They are going to "make things right" which sounds like they may refund members that fell for this. Would the 4D chess move be for the hacker to have "stolen" some of their own funds out of a different wallet to make it

I'd be curious to hear from someone that feels strongly about blocking first-party front end tracking. I generally assume that whatever website I am on would have a good sense of what I am up to just based on server side logs. Sure, if

Assuming I could see it coming, and had time to prepare: 1) Take PTO for that week. I would make it very clear to my team I will be completely offline (no checking email, or responding to Slack pings) 2) Give an early warning to family, fri

Appreciate the insights. It makes sense that this class of metrics have made it into the decision making process, and I am glad it is happening. The two concerns that come to mind without deeply understanding the problem is that: 1) Measuri

I like to imagine there are a bunch of Facebook Homefeed engineers out there who ran dozens experiments, tuning this-and-that, and found the ones that boosted revenue, and user engagement by X%. No one thought too deeply at _why_ some exper

The fact that we can apply these sort of therapies to an adult human who consists of millions upon millions of cells blows my mind. Having the ability to fix our "buggy" genetic code while we are alive is amazing.

I love the concept of these sort of apps. I am a data nerd, and would really enjoy having a birds eye view of how I spend my time. The problem for me is building a habit of consistent data entry. If I miss a few days it is hard to remember
