What follows from the movie is that there are multi-professional teams at work.

That is, they don't have one teacher who decides about things and especially the fate of the individual pupil but teams containing, e.g., psychologists who decide about things in the regular day to day business.

Of course bullying is an issue there, too. It is pronounced wherever you have esp. social inequality, and minimizing only works approximately. However, they are thinking about this in a progressive and especially compile-ahead-of-time way. The first research on bullying emerged in the 1970ies from these countries actually.

I wasn't claiming the technical interviews require some genius, but they are way tougher than IB interviews.
This is nonsensical. Just because the stock is super high doesnt mean anyone is going to actually accept it as collateral for funding. Way to volitile
I don't like this saying. People also say this about things they end up being wrong about, such as Tesla in 2013. Hell, given that economists predict 15 out of the last 3 recessions, people who say this are probably flat-out wrong more often than not.

So unless the saying comes with the interpretation "the market can remain seemingly irrational long enough to be right", it just reduces to "I disagree with what the market is doing right now, maybe it's a bubble, who knows".
Please don't do this here. It's against the site guidelines.

There are so many unfair takes against politicians these days it’s hard to tell who is actually right anymore.

It’s good people are holding them up to a high standard (elections are regularly presented as choosing the lesser of evils) but when all of them seem to be getting killed it makes you wonder if it’s just the nature of the beast. Especially in the west.

The few who have gotten praise (South Korea) were the ones that were more likely to ignore WHO and bypass other typical established political processes, allowing them to react quickly - and are by far the rare exceptions, not the rule.

‘Government’ and ‘moving quickly’ are rarely things you see in the same sentence in normal times, nor would ‘good’ politicians typically be defined as the ones who ignore the recommendations of international organizations, but yet it’s something everyone thinks can immediately be fixed on demand like flipping a switch.
In terms of 'symptoms', in the US they've kept it very basic with three listed: 1) fever 2) cough 3) shortness of breath. They seem very generic to me and probably result in a lot of unnecessary panicked phone calls.

From the actual descriptions of patients that have gone through it and been hospitalized, there are much worse symptoms, and maybe they should be addressed more immediately. The main one I've come across is the heavy chest pressure. I don't understand why, in the US at least, there isn't more specific messaging so that we can make sure people with more severe or COVID-19-related symptoms have the ability to get through. Not to mention the BS here of having to 'call your doctor' first before getting seen. There are a lot of people out there now without primary care doctors or that can't afford a visit. There have been no federal instructions on how we would get waivers for visits, testing, and possible hospitalization. If you've ever had to fight with medical billing in the US, it's frustrating and will be even more so after all this dies down.

On a side-note:

I was turned away from donating blood yesterday because I admitted to having a runny nose and a bit drainage that caused some coughing. I have seasonal allergies - it's March, it's been raining and plants are blooming, etc. I understand the caution but I had no fever (tested at 36.6 C / 97.8 F), which is about the same temp I've had for the past week (I've tested that and my blood pressure daily, just in case). I was a bit frustrated, because I really wanted to do something immediate to give back but so be it.

While walking home, it did make me wonder why they even bother taking 'healthy' people who could be asymptomatic if it's such a concern. They admitted to having no way to test the blood.

I think there's a lot that needs to be fixed and I hope that this crisis will provide a better future for us all. Epidemics aren't going to go away. We can learn and plan better.

I am not sure that European countries are acting strongly enough. California and New York's shelter-in-place order includes not going to work for non-essential workers. In Germany (and even in Italy until recently) people are still going to work.

Also, German politicians don't want to use words like curfew ("Ausgangssperre") because of East Germany's history. There was a lot of talk if a curfew is even constitutional.

EDIT: I really don't understand why this is getting downvoted. Maybe consider commenting if you disagree?
The U.S. likes to think of itself as the world leader. We should hold ourselves to that standard. "Other countries" such as South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan were conducting widespread testing while the U.S. was and still is not.

More importantly, the U.S. could and should have provided global leadership as it did for the 2014 Ebola outbreak.

In normal times he is utterly infuriating and represents some of the worst qualities you see in a politician. In a crisis... well, you need a solid pair of hands and a leader capable of making big decisions effectively. And he is definitely that.

Sites generally set Domain= on their cookies, and so include subdomains. For example, if you click "sign in" on apple.com it brings you to secure2.store.apple.com and after entering your password it sets a cookie with "Path=/; Domain=apple.com; Secure; HttpOnly".

You're right that this does reduce security on some sites: if domain.example doesn't set Domain= on their cookies then ads.domain.example (CNAMED to js.ads.example) won't see the cookies but domain.example/ads would. This is pretty rare, though, because sites you log into generally do need their cookies to work across subdomains.

Except this problem is easier to handle with reverse proxies than with subdomains: with subdomains the cookies are sent whether you want to or not, while with a reverse proxy the site owner can configure it to strip cookies.
Citalopram also works wonders, that said it’s only half of the equation to healing your psyche.

It’s important to remember that drugs affect everyone differently. But an antidepressant can be a good first step to getting out of a rut (even if exercise for SOME is as effective).
The problem with successful programs is that the problem goes away, but the costs are still noticeable.

Ask yourself if you'd feel the same if you'd spent years around malnourished kids. And no, that's not some sort of exaggeration, as that's been an issue in a number of rural areas in quite recent history.
Browsers are the only ones actually willing to allow any change. If we wait for OSs to change nothing will ever happen. If it works well in browsers first then the OS will pick it up.

If AI is mostly curve fitting, I'd like to know how curve fitting applies to AI and chess.
We're going to need an independent experiment to see this "X17" before anyone truly believes it's a new particle. Some example major particle discoveries over the last few decades (and the independent experiments which observed them): Higgs (ATLAS & CMS at CERN); Top quark (CDF & D0 Fermilab); W & Z Bosons (UA1 and UA2 at CERN); J/Psi (Richter's team at SLAC & Ting's team at MIT). Some other fundamental particles were observed by a single experiment (the bottom quark, for example) and the community believed it, but in those cases it's always because a theory has already predicted the particle, and we've always been able to study them with future experiments anyway. So this won't gain traction unless another experiment can observe it.
What if they didn't need to trust the website operators because they only pay them if users click? When the user clicks, it goes through the ad company's domain with the Referrer who would be paid for it.
Regarding the advisory letter, it just requires the bank to "investigate". The bank can still conclude the transaction was authorized and deny your claim to cancel the transaction. So it will be your responsibility as a customer to prove that you were not present during the transaction.

Regarding scenario #1, it is irrelevant if the amount is $50 or $1000. My point is, you have no recourse. Credit cards won't protect you from fraud in this case.
Patches + mailing list isn't an ideal medium for code changes, and it's not as easy to quickly browse a list of patches that haven't been merged yet.

This is true, which I discovered while attempting to contribute to git itself. git's development uses this model, which probably means something, even if I can't figure it out.
IME people tend to just add stuff at the bottom. Doesn't help with ordered lists, though.

wife sliced her hand pretty bad. took 9 stitches to mend up, and, she's lost the feeling in one finger. end of the day we were >$2k out of pocket - it might have been $2200, not $2400 - we got a few different bills, and paid some 'up front' in the emergency waiting area (after triage). Sitting in a room waiting for medical attention, and someone comes in with a rolling POS asking for payment. insane.
Check out Versor. If you need an easier-to-understand version, Versor_1_0 (in another repo, by the same Author) is basically just plain old C.

The UK government has already considered this as an option. I don't know what became of it. I don't think we're quite at that stage, yet.
>you should be able to inspect the meaning of the more abstract syntax by expanding its definition in place and see how it works in context. [...] But why that approach is not integrated into the language itself, I have no idea.

Are you asking why _all_ programming languages don't make their own Abstract Syntax Tree a 1st-class concept for self-reflection and manipulation of its own syntax like Lisp?

Because there are tradeoffs to that approach. If one thinks there are zero tradeoffs to Lisp's philosophy of "code is data", I contend one doesn't fully understand Lisp. Yes, self-inspection is a powerful device but even Lisp programmers[1] keep inventing new languages for others to use that do not have Lisp-like ASTs as 1st-class concepts. I ask people to really think deeply on why that's been happening for decades and comment with any insights.

[1] e.g. Guy Steele a Lisp expert, works on creating the new Java language at Sun in 1994.
This right here is the very worst thing about ADHD. All those people pointing out that they also have trouble with some of those things some of the time and therefore ADHD isn’t real and you don’t have it. So then you have to explain to those people why they’re wrong, but a tiny little part of your brain holds on to what they said, and the next time you really are having a hard time with tour ADHD that little part says ‘it’s not real and you’re just a terrible human for having these problems.’ Built up over a lifetime, especially during formative years, the secondary, knock-on effects are actually much worse than the actual underlying condition. So thanks runawaybottle, for very subtly making thousands of peoples lives slightly worse today.
One of the problems is that the law doesn't treat them as individuals. Not really. The rich can afford expensive lawyers while the poor are often forced to plead guilty or settle to avoid bankrupting their family. Arguably, this means that among the rich you see a higher proportion of people who have broken the law and were able to "get out of it".
I think the tooling we have in the Python ecosystem far exceeds PHP and I agree (and mentioned below) about the inconsistencies.

Been a long time since our chats at DC Python. Hope you’ve been doing well, sir!
Going to signal from other messengers replaces unknown/hard to reason about privacy issues with a single easy to reason about issue. The idea was to do that for the broad group of people using messengers on their phones.
> even though git has bigger mindshare due to GitHub.

This is, as far as I can tell from my memory, ahistorical. While git was still young in 2008, it was already quite dominant.

The Linux's choice was hugely influential, and Linus' "angry and confident" style of advocacy has always been (regretfully) effective when used against software people. Git stole the mind share _very_ quickly, and by the time Github became a thing I remember almost everyone _wanting_ to be on Git. Hg and Bazaar were clear contrarians, even if I personally might have liked Hg.

I'm fairly sure that Github is "Git"hub due to Git's popularity, not the other way around.
"Enterprise app" was perhaps too general. Neither of those examples remotely resemble an ERP application.

Google has literally zero experience in that area, and if they tried to do it from scratch, it would take many years. Probably not less than ten years before they'd have a chance of competing with the established players. Even if they wholesale hired a team from a major player, it would still take years to reimplement the functionality and get it to a marketable state.

There's no "minimum viable product" that could succeed in that space - a system has to be able to take care of an entire enterprise's operational needs, or it's not in the running.

I like PG for his personal brand building skills he is like Trump[1], but on smaller scale. He can write about anything, and people will call it gold which opens up gigantic possibilities. It's true master level, not like junior PR copycats from Medium trying to make noise with rewritten articles.

[1] Yes, Trump! You can dislike him as much as you want, but his personal brand building is also on master level.
Honest question: Do you actually use scroll bars much?

Pardon the dust;

First, I'm not a graphic designer and second this is actually an older deploy that I've "locked" so I can continue tinkering with the master branch behind the scenes. Will be a single page with just anchors to navigate when done.

Everything old is new again. Homepages, kids, ask your parents about them :)
I don't think developed countries should focuse on being competitive in raw materials and basic manufacturing.

Countries that have a substantial percentage of their population that is not very educated have a comparative advantage (in the technical sense [1]) in fields that require a lot of unskilled labor. E.g. raw materials & basic manufacturing. So the developed world will always have a hard time competing with them in these fields.

Unfortunately Rand would have browbeaten you into oblivion.

He was a legendary curmudgeon, and would often try to defeat the client's meddling by saying something like: "you pay me for a solution. I'll make it, then you can decide whether you want to implement it."
I have ethical qualms about it too. I'm not sure I could get comfortable enough with them to do it. But you're totally spot on that the negative priming (he's making risky decisions, upsetting his family) and the distancing (it's my brother, not me) are very important to the effectiveness. If you say it's your own idea, and don't prime the pump of negativity, I'd expect significantly better feedback.

People can't help it. No one likes to say your baby is ugly, or those pants do indeed make your butt look fat.
Where is the Christmas Bingo Card Creator?
In my experience... genuinely funny original jokes get upvotes. The same tired old memes or the "obvious" line are not.

How the hell did a bank end up with MUMPS?

It's a disease primarily limited to the healthcare system, in my experience.
That is why I used the adjective "good". Like you said, just having an automated test suite is not necessarily useful. Let me define what I mean by "good".

A good automated test suite has a very high (>90%) coverage of all cases that an actual user may encounter in the real world. It is extremely difficult to achieve this in the initial version of the test suite. The goal initially should be to build a test suite that can be quickly and easily updated so that >90% test coverage can be achieved over time.

When people are "using and verifying software" or when there is a bug found in production, the bug fix should be accompanied by an update to the test suite. This way this particular bug will never happen again in production. In addition, you never let your guard down and continue this process for as long as the product exists. Over time this process will yield a test suite so good that you can assume that a particular change hasn't broken existing functionality even though there isn't a 100% guarantee.

The cool thing now is that build tools are so good that you can codify some of this process into the build to ensure commits are tested before merged. And commits are reviewed to verify relevant tests were added or updated before merged.
How is it impossible in principle? We know that machines with human-level intelligence can be built. We do it all the time. We just don't know how it works yet.
No need to be detailed in my response, but I can list the ‘pillars’ that help prevent and ease any burnout I have:

- diet
- sleep (8 hours minimum, before 10:30pm)
- exercise, stay fit
- if getting ‘writers block’, change location to a cafe or somewhere. Almost always works wonders
- don’t think about work outside working hours, regardless of what you have to do or how urgent it is

If the above doesn’t work for you (it does for me), take up yoga or meditation. The root is mental discipline, knowing when to engage and when not to engage. Burnout comes from engaging too hard for too long.
And I'm fairly sure I've seen people stumble over the reverse direction: Being optimistic that they remember the syntax for a language they haven't used in a while, and then in a stress situation failing to remember basics.

Someone with experience in a few languages has no difficulty reading code in a lot of languages, and can get going in them quite quickly, but the first few hours/days are going to involve a lot of looking up trivial things, especially if starting with an empty page instead of tweaking in existing code.
It's been inspiring to see two young founders focusing on such an important problem.

I met the team a year and a half ago in Mountain View -- they really care about this problem and they are working their asses off to build the right team to provide a stellar solution.

Would love to see Nightingale eventually offered to a more general audience. Therapy has such a stigma associated with it and I think technology can really lower the barriers for receiving treatment.
Isn't it an example of taking Solaris to new and intriguing heights? There is no actual Linux code in the implementation.
China is relying heavily on coal power (AFAIK, can't find reliable source quickly). Iceland has clean energy, but in contrary to the popular wisdom "only" ~30% is geothermal, most is hydro. See https://www.electricitymap.org/zone/IS for more detail.
Yes, housing isn’t a problem in a city whose population is the same today as it was in 1935, in a country that’s projected to slowly shrink over the next century.

> These same regulators would love to steer policy and public opinion by calling something that reduces their influence bad for the climate, even if such a thing is run on clean energy, solar, etc. That seems suspicious.

This is textbook conspiracy theory here. Don't forget that even if bitcoin was running 100% on renewable energy (which it definitely is not), the added load on the grid definitely causes coal/gas plants to fire up and make the grid CO2 emissions of the country where people mine bitcoin to get worse.

I don't buy the decentralised argument either, more than 51% of the hashrate is in China and the government can decide to shut all of this down the day they want to reduce their unproductive CO2 emissions.
That argument is quite bullshit, no? Just because something takes a long time doesn’t mean it won’t happen. We invented the first algorithms thousands of years ago, but only constructed working computers to execute those algorithms 100 years ago.
So, just add some sort of cooling beam, better: cooling rays technology, cross beams et voilà!
Oh, wait ...
I agree with a couple of your points but I think you might be overreacting.

When the OP said to hang out at HN or learn all about the culture, that's really helpful for those who are completely unfamiliar with the whole industry. A lot of smart kids have never entered this world and it's a good primer. Just because they are new to startups doesn't make them hopeless -- I arrived a couple years ago and spent a few months just getting acquainted through tireless immersion.

Cold emails are fine, if they have an edge to them and are informed and targeted. If you get emails from people who clearly put there heart into writing it, I think it's at least worth a quick reply. You're not a celebrity.

And how else do you expect someone to get into the industry without some cold emails or calls? As someone who just got their foot in the door, I can definitively say one works at least twice as hard outside the industry than when one gets a job. Have some respect for that nonpaid effort, I say.

That said, one should always be building up a defined skillset concurrently.
