> aerospace engineering is a prime example of how software can be made more reliable by tolerating failures instead of relying on it not to fail

Exactly. I often have a hard time getting this point across, glad I succeeded.
Producing medical products is all about managing risk. Whatever you do there's got to be a comprehensive risk assessment of every possible outcome of that action

If a company were to outsource the risk assessment and documentation effort would be huge and potentially open them up for a lot of legal liability if their third party manufacturer causes harm to a patient

For many manufacturers, it's much easier to use your documented in-house manufacturing, supply chain, training, machinery, etc. that you have risk documented up to the eyeballs so that if the product does cause harm, you have enough paperwork to show that you've done your due diligence

If you bring in a third party, it's incredibly difficult to prove that every aspect of their company meets the standards to which you're happy to hold yourself legally responsible.
Starlink which is taking orders
It still does not parse all ISO 8601 format strings: "ISO 8601, RFC 3339 and datetime.isoformat() are three slightly different and in some senses incompatible datetime serialization formats" https://bugs.python.org/issue35829 For example it rejects typical strings produced by Javascript using Z instead of +00:00 as the timezone suffix.

>People will be able to afford houses in cash without going into life time debt.

Well, sure, if the only people buying houses are the ones who can afford them without getting loans, you could technically describe it that way. But perhaps you could explain a bit further how hard currency / ban on fractional reserve would make housing affordable?
That has happened to some extent; there are a number of products named after Chrome. Chromecast has nothing to do with a web browser (or even Chrome OS, another Chrome-branded product).

It definitely hasn’t gotten to a point where we’re getting Chrome Maps, but the proliferation of Chrome-branded devices does indicate that Mozilla focusing more on Firefox the brand is a reasonable decision.
Not as much of a no-win situation if you've got a (wood) fireplace/furnace, or at least a metal barrel and some trash to burn.

But considering the normal weather in Texas, I ain't too surprised if these things are rarities.

Let's not forget that the Bill of Rights almost didn't make it into the Constitution and was only really tacked on as an afterthought to shut down anti-Federalist attempts to scuttle the Constitution before it was ratified.

And now several of those 10 Amendments have been eroded/defeated through recent law.

Great job that Constitution is doing us... but I guess it paints that much worse a picture of a country without it.
I live in the bay (but not SF), and the biggest thing that would would give me pause here is that I don't want to live in Boise, Denver, or Phoenix.

Some people are fine with living anywhere. Others are looking for good weather, a specific culture, or something else.
> An accreditation agency that was working with the U.S. on its sting operation also listed the university as legitimate.

Looks like that agency shouldn't be trusted anymore. Name and shame.
Right?? I thought the author was making somewhat reasonable points until they just shrugged off a prediction that sea level will rise 2 feet in the next 80 years or so with "Well 1/3 of the Netherlands is below sea level and they are ok soo......". Like that is even remotely equivalent to the sea level of entire planet rising by 2 feet.
Love the idea.

The issue is many of those arguing against the severity of climate change are generally bad faith actors. I think we can all agree the world will not end, but the ramifications are huge.
I'm assuming you mean Elizabeth Warren. Here's her stated plan for addressing climate change: https://elizabethwarren.com/plans/climate-change

Relevant snippet:

> Her green manufacturing plan would invest $2 trillion over the next ten years in green research, manufacturing, and exporting

It then breaks that down with slightly more detail ($400 billion for clean energy research, $1.5 trillion to "purchase American-made clean, renewable, and emission-free energy products", $100 billion to increase clear energy tech exports.)

It also links to https://elizabethwarren.com/plans/green-manufacturing for (a little) more details on that section.

She's not necessarily my first choice, but the claim that she's not talking about "paying a similar sum to fix climate change" is wrong.

Yeah but by the same logic you could argue the following, yet you would be wrong:

"I'm not sure San Francisco is the best place in North America for a startup. Office and accommodation rent is amongst the highest in North America. And just about every other respect it's an insanely expensive place to live.

Unless your clientiele requires you to be in San Francisco you'd be better off elsewhere in the US if you want a decent runway."
This can be cool, but it can also be mentally draining.

Pro tip: You'd better accept your partner's ideas at least 50% of the time.
The whataboutism is out of control in this discussion. Its like people forget these same elements showed up to lockdown protests armed and wearing protective vests and, most important of all, attempted to kidnap the Governor of Michigan. So yeah, its a different thing altogether when these elements show up and invade the Capitol building
>This lecture should put students at ease knowing that religion and science need not be at odds

Unfortunately, this isn't true. Evolution and certain religions may not be directly in conflict... but science and religion? The two by definition are fundamentally at odds.

> I don't understand why people keep arguing that the incitement thing is blurry.

It’s denial and it’s obvious that they want to believe something else with all their might. If Trump said it literally go do the deed there would be some who would argue that’s not true. Strategy amongst trolls is to wear us down a la gaslighting but I don’t understand what’s the long term goal, if there is any.
Zero, but I guess we're not particularly worried about it?

News Corp is still walking away from this in the money.

Sure they bought the thing for $580m and now selling it for $100m, but they had many many good years of $750m-$1bn revenue (ok we don't know what profit looked like given Fox Interactive is a private company but I'm sure it was strong).

It also put skin in the game for News Corp that was otherwise going to miss out on an entire generation of innovation.

" ... there's no real journalistic standards in tech, "

While I don't disagree, I can be sad at this reality. Journalism fails when it doesn't have standards.
To those who thought that team lunch is "mandatory," you misread the article. It's not mandatory. You can go out instead. You can go to the gym instead. You can hide in your office and "free your mind" instead. You can bring your friends or family to our lunch. You can go out instead. You can take a picnic. You can come in after lunch and work late instead of working early.

I don't even think there's social pressure to go to lunch. People do because they enjoy it. Sorry if this wasn't clear from the article. It's not a weird cult where I'm forcing introverts into cult-like hanging out with people that they hate or already spend too much time with. That would be inconsistent with our goal of making a humane, friendly, and fun workplace, which was the point of the article.

We very rarely talk about work at lunch. I've never met anyone who visited us for lunch and thought that it was weird. I have met some pretty anti-social people in my time and some of them work for us and somehow they don't seem to mind sitting at the table during lunch and listening to everyone else enjoying the conversations.
I love the kits. I didn't see an FAQ anywhere- what's the minimum number of inexperienced people it would take to put together the small/big domes and how long does it take?
One of my English teachers when I was 13 asked us what 'to educate' meant. Everyone associated it with being told things by a teacher, in school.

Educate comes from the Latin ex duco - to draw out of. Education isn't about pushing knowledge in, it's about pulling understanding out.

I think the schools systems worldwide struggle with balancing skills for life vs qualifications for the next stage of life.
> One of the workers set up notifications to receive emails detailing the work and whereabouts of other employees without their knowledge or consent.

This is shady/creepy. There is no need to know when and where a colleague is every hour, every day. You shouldn’t be allowed to do this.

I’m glad an employee who does this is getting fired because I wouldn’t feel safe around them.

My calendar is public, but that doesn’t mean you should be alerted every time I go somewhere.
>>Pride in a disadvantage is helpful for people psychologically, in order to cope with the oppression or cruelty of others, but allowing it to turn into a desire to keep that disadvantage -- and deny others the ability to choose for themselves whether or not they want treatment -- is truly a bad thing.

Exactly, the desire to boost the self-esteem and social acceptance of those with disorders is now having pathological consequences.

I don't want it to sound like an attack, but honestly, how do you actually visualize this?

I try to explore the anarchist leaning ideas with an open mind since I see the problems with government, but in a way, maybe I'm just a square but my reasoning always comes back to government.

First I start with ok, I like my water drinkable and my food not poisoned, I do like my roads to go around, ok but smaller entities could regulate it, cool, but now we have thousands if not millions of entities regulating this in their own manner, wouldn't it be cool to have a standard? not too mention that some of this smaller entities would have a real hard time if they don't have enough resources that a central entity would distribute more fairly?

It always seems to start from the basis of every actor will collaborate, what if the river I need for water is right outside the border from my smaller entity? is they only option war?

Speaking of war, if we have all small entities that are peaceful amongst them but a couple of them decide they want more group and invade this smaller entities for their resources, maybe we could start an organization that unites the smaller entities together so we can defend against them, sounds familiar? looks like the history of mankind, and again it always seems to go back to government.

My view is that it sounds like a nice idea to tend towards but not possible to instill unless we're on a situation where there's literally nothing to be gained by being a bad actor, and to be honest, I can't again visualize this scenario, how can there be nothing to be gained? It sounds to start terrible, nothing to aspire to?

Again, I'd like to point out that you shouldn't get me started on the abuses of government and the injustices that it brings, but I just can't get my head out of what seem to be a necessary evil unless you are starting from basis that seem just counter to what human nature is.

I'm more than open to being convinced otherwise since the idea sounds so good in so many regards.

IMO, it's important to understand the line between management and leadership.

Cities and counties aren't sovereign entities either. They have to abide by state and federal law.
Some consulting companies don’t want senior techies as they are largely doing commodity work that just needs to be minimally competent.

Some firms want eminence and want to have a technology competitive advantage so they develop a specialist or senior staff path with pay and equity similar to a partner or director.

When I used to work in consulting I would ask about the equity structure. This would quickly reveal if there’s only a partner path or there’s some other thought leader path. Seeing the equity and company would distinguish from firms that said they had thought leaders and who had the title and those who actually had career paths and peers other than partner.

It also helped that I figured out that consulting firms are really just engines that create partners. That’s the formula and bad firms fixate on this metric. Good firms distribute and realize that investment in senior staff is important and that just naming someone a principal engineer isn’t as important as compensating them as a principal engineer.

Every firm talked about having great people, but only some had action.

Kind of like there’s some “technology” companies where the entire C-suite is non-technical and has no tech background. Then there’s others where the c-suite includes tech and the executives were once engineers and whatnot. That shows the nature of the company more than titles.

Saying "I would do X when presented with Y" is easy to say when you have not been presented with Y. Regarding the wallpaper, yes, it's inappropriate. Perhaps it is an indication that the people are drunk with power. But it could also be another instance of people in an uncomfortable situation using humor as a coping mechanism.

It truly is a tough call for me. Without the ease of Heroku deployment, Cachet wouldn't be nearly as popular. But by leaving it in, I'm providing a degraded experience.

A status page needs to be available all of the time, not half of the day. What use is that?

I'm sure the free tier has it's uses, as Heroku suggest, experiments, basic apps etc.
Do you really think N. Korea doesn't know the long-term US position for NK is regime change? Don't be naive. Of course they do.

Yes - diplomacy is very delicate, and things like this can have bad short-term consequences. However, the long term could be arguably better in the same way pointing out security holes publicly makes companies fix it quickly.

It's the same analogy that supports legalization of insider trading - for which there is a solid argument for increased transparency even though there are short term negative consequences (insiders getting money w/ inside knowledge).

The case is that by having more transparency, even with short-term profiteering, the total good in the long term is maximized.

I disagree that deception is necessary in almost any (if any) situation.

I don't think anyone's actually being fooled by it. I highly doubt Kim Jong is under the impression that the US supports him or is even remotely sympathetic to his motives. It's just a game being played by both sides.

Most of the time we create our own complexity, and then build even more complexity on top of it. Eventually it becomes impossible to explain our motives for anything without attaching an enormous amount of context to it. Context which few people have the attention span to fully understand, so you can eventually do whatever you want via abstraction and just blame it on complexity. "Here's a 50 page legal document which clearly shows why I lied to you ok? Anyone who calls me a bad guy just lacks the proper context."

If our diplomacy practices are so complex that they require underhandedness, deception, head-fakes, etc. then it's time to refactor. I'm sure there's a certain level of necessary complexity, but not to the point where being dishonest is justified.

Honesty and transparency are practically a religion to me and this may come across a little zealous / attacking, so I apologize for that.
Good point. Doesn't seem I can edit the title now, unfortunately.

Few things are more valuable than creating something great. Unfortunately the other things taking your time are necessary obligations and responsibilities whereas your pipe dream ideas are not.

I think everyone can agree that if you don't have time to work on what you value most then you suck at managing your time. No exceptions.
Give him a break. Do you ask every website on the entire internet the same thing? "PG, please replace the font of comments on HN from Verdana to DiscussionForumComment, I have my own preferences on fonts, and I'm sure everybody else does too. "

It's not exactly a massive amount of code being displayed. The font might have been chosen to express a certain style of the designer. Changing the font to default on my system even caused the layout to break because courier new (firefox default monospace) is a lot wider than courier.

(Even though i agree that Courier isn't the best choice for code/console/monospace, neither in terms of design or readability)
