This happens with daycare (which is mostly private) and higher education (with private universities having a massive presence), and the society has yet to collapse.

The idea that it's perfectly fine to go to a a private institution years 0-6 and years 18-22+, but the 6-18 range is categorically and unequivocally better served by public institutions has not really been proven beyond reasonable doubt.

I might say this is precisely why it'd be smart mode of control: Tying a power user-ish granular feature (throttling) to another power user feature (pinning) seems like a bit of self-selective optimization, while being quite elegant in its simplicity.

So, for me, +1 for pinned tabs != throttled.

Read the Wikipedia article on him.

He is a primarily a stock manipulator who specializes in biotech stocks. Before his drug pricing hijinks he started and shuttered to hedge funds, both of which failed owing millions of dollars to cover trades they had made.

He is about as knowledgable about pharmaceuticals as a third tier equity analyst. He's not a researcher -- his degree is in business.

(Don't get me wrong -- I have no love for the pharmaceutical industry. But this guy is nothing more than a promoter.)

An architect's role often has an economic as well as a technical part to it. So, it's important to find out whether your candidate has a strong loyalty to a particular vendor stack. Ask.

After you've had a conversation about a project in the candidate's track record, ask some pointed questions:

-- what would you lose in performance and functionality if you reworked that project to run on cheaper infrastructure? (By that I mean such things as "standard edition" rather than "enterprise edition" of DBMSs, open source vs. paid licenses, etc.) This is a good way to get a handle on the candidate's economic reasoning ability.

-- what was a significant performance bottleneck in that system? How did you address the problem?

-- with the benefit of hindsight, what parts of that system would you say you overdesigned? underdesigned?

-- what was a security vulnerability in the system? How did you plan for security? If you had to do security remediation, please describe it.
I started out as an engineer. But, I built tons of side projects and studied Product Management to hone my skills. Do lots of user testing and analytics. Show you can understand a user's problems and have empathy for the user. Practice solving those problems with simple, understandable UX. Then, take this ammunition and lobby hard to PM leaders. I put together a compelling presentation to a PM director at my corporate job and they gave me a chance with a PM "rotation." It's not the easiest of transitions, but you'll learn a ton. If you do well, they might put you in a full time entry level position. I took a pay cut. Make sure it's what you are passionate about. I miss engineering but love strategic problem solving and the magic that comes with PM. But overall, you have to be aggressive. Learn the skills and lobby hard. Go get it!
I don't see where adverse possession figures into it. The basic problem is actually very common in agrarian populations and not unique to Hawaii. Dad owns plot of land. Brother A gets half, Brother B gets half. Brother A's two kids get 1/4 each, as do Brother B's two kids. A lot of the kids leave the land, but retain an ownership interest, and eventually you end up with two acres that have dozens of owners. It's a huge problem on indian reservations, for example: https://www.doi.gov/news/pressreleases/interior-standing-roc....

A quiet title action and partition by sale is not a "legal hack." A quiet title action is a structured process for unifying title while compensating people with ownership interests. And because a single clear title in a property is much more valuable than a bunch of possessory interests in the same property (even put together), partition by sale maximizes the value of the land. So each person's share of the auction proceeds will be more than the market value of their original possessory interests.

None of this is indicative of anything being "broken." It's basically unavoidable so long as fractional interests in land and subdivision of interests on inheritance are permitted.

I might be forgetting but not that I recall directly. My only issue is I also approach all this with a bit of buddhism as well.

The general gist of both Stoicism and Buddhism are generally the same in principle. The only things that can control us are what we allow to control us.

That doesn't really mean that we have free will or the ability to control our world. More we have the ability to change how we interpret the world we live in.

And if you approach adversity as a bad thing, you're already losing from a thought perspective. You have to look at adversity as a friend, gently nudging you along to an easier path. Or a friend that needs to be bulldozed over or through to get to the goal. Or perhaps avoided entirely.

Looking at adversity that way what you realize is the only control you have is how you respond to it.

I recommend reading Epictetus, the eponymous Marcus Aurelius, any other early stoic philosopher. Note, take some of what they say with a mountain of salt. Their views on things like the overall universe are... a product of their time.

For more things I'd say also read The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi. And read up on Buddhism possibly with more modern views in the theravada traditions. Feel free to ignore any of the things that make no sense, even the buddha himself said to abandon any practices that turned out wrong.

I approach all of this philosophy in the style of Bruce Lee, take what works from wherever you find it. Leave what doesn't aside.

Good luck in your journey!

This is of course a really good thing, but I feel this is not enough.

The browser has increasingly become universal platform. On the one hand, this means applications written for browsers are automatically cross platform. But this also makes the browsers more and more complicated. Even the simplest webpage takes a significant hit in resource usage.

Maybe we need some sort of "reduced web". A browser that only supports the essential features to display webpages. No WebGL, canvas, notification, WebRTC, locations, WebMIDI, or WebUSB (seriously!). And I don't mean just disable these features, but rather design the browser without them. Then we could do most of our browsing in the minimal browser, and only fire up chrome for the more demanding web apps.

> There is similarly no reason why the human visual system couldn't have evolved to perceive objects in focus over a wider range of distances.

When you increase the width of the aperture of a lens (your pupil) you decrease the depth of field in sharp focus. It's a fundamental limit of optics.

On a bright day you have a lot of light and your pupil is narrowest, bringing as much as possible into focus.

> So I think doing accurate 3D requires simulating the way in which the brain picks out objects at different depths, but this can't be done simply by offering one depth of field for all viewers, since our eyes can't bounce back and forth alternately focusing a near and far object and creating the increased acuity we get in normal vision.

Um, no. It's FAR safer than the US, but not nearly as safe as Japan (but then, what is)? Comparing crime statistics is notoriously difficult due to differences in methodologies and reporting rates, but "homicide" is one statistic that has sufficiently uniform categorisation and reporting rate as to enable a comparison. Doing that, you can see that the US is about 4 times worse than the UK, and 13 times worse than Japan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intention...

Edit: perhaps the grandparent comment meant that crime in England was "a lot worse" than in Japan? If so, then yes that's true.

Yes! Deep learning is a young field. I have a B.S., for example, and have published work at Interspeech (speech recognition conference) and NIPS workshop (machine learning conference). You can too.

My advice:

* 80% of machine learning is software engineering. If you're a strong software engineer, with some good math foundations (calculus, probability, matrix algebra), you can make significant contributions.

* For deep learning, you can start with the crash course, but you'll eventually want to read a full textbook. If you read the new Goodfellow, Bengio, and Courville textbook and understand the details of the algorithms, then you'll be up to speed with the major ideas in deep learning today: http://www.deeplearningbook.org/

* Find a company with existing deep learning experts who need software help -- that's most companies applying deep learning.

* Read research papers. Some will be easy to read, some will be hard. If they're hard, read the references they cite. Eventually they'll get easier.

> the NY Times sees an actual phenomenon, but fails to understand it.

True but remember that the NYT, like any publication, isn't academic research or journal. It isn't 'graded' and doesn't succeed or fail on facts and accuracy. Almost the only job it has is in making interesting enough reading that will help them sell advertising. It's entertainment. Nobody (or at least no professional) is using it to make investment decisions. (Although actually I am sure that is perhaps the case but that's not the paper's responsibility).
> In response to concerns voiced we will disable aggressive throttling when active websocket connection is present. Tabs playing audio are already unthrottled.

The pages that are most aggressive in being a drain on resources, in my experience, are also using websockets to constantly load in new advertising and JavaScript and other garbage. Just "the page has a WS open" should not be enough to keep a page unthrottled without providing the user a chance to change that behavior.
PM @ a mid-size startup (been one for 5 years).

Skills:

- Be able to sympathize with your users (and be able to translate their pain into actionable steps that build toward your company's bigger goal)

- Be a communicator. You need to be able to write help documents, update emails, epics, stories, etc. Verbally, you should be able (and want!) to get up in front of your company and evangelize the work you're doing.

- Be a junior project manager. Even if you have project people in your company, you need to keep the trains running. Sometimes that means you've gotta be a dick to people too.

- Demonstrate deep understanding of your product. You're going to have to make tradeoffs and compromises along the way and knowing the landscape of your product (both from the user's perspective and the technical perspective) helps you make better decisions.

- Be able to prioritize. This one is tough to demonstrate, but good PMs know how to effectively take a long list of requirements or stories and prioritize them based on what will drive the most value

- Be able to think big. It's easy to go for incremental wins, but you've really got to be able to take the long view of your product. Your customers, sales team, and engineers will all want to do things that aren't part of your product's vision and you've got to know that.

Background:
I was a history major in college. Almost did a PhD. I've always had an interest in coding -- taught myself Java, PHP, MySQL. When I finally got serious about having a career, I joined a company as a member of their marketing team. My 'programming' background made me the natural lead for talking to our tech team. Eventually, they changed my title to product manager and I was in.

I think this is a good question, but that it falls prey to the same conceit that befalls those who claim they could "build Twitter in a weekend". A picture-perfect sketch of a system can illustrate one's knowledge of patterns and off-the-shelf solutions, but it won't cover the things that get in the way of a team building their way towards product/market fit.

You could lead with this question and then jump in with hypothetical roadblocks to see how the candidate reacts.

Ex:

- "A network of microservices _would_ be a clean way to implement this. How would you foresee the operational burden of this impacting a small team?"
- "Imagine that you build this and it works well, but the product it powers ends up not resonating with customers. The team now wants to pivot to X. What changes would you make to the system to address this new problem space?"
