This is a good book. But on page 5 you have an error: it should say trillionth instead of billionth. I find myself liking your approach, though. You should change the font and insert some more diagrams.

Ask HN: Efficiency of 10x engineer while refactoring legacy/messed up code base?
Will their efficiency be still 10x if they are assigned to maintain and debug a shitty(but working) code base?
That will be terrible but will probably happen. So my advice to myself is rent a house there, don't buy.
This story is kind of hokey, but it reminds me of the time I was on a layover to California where I had lunch with a woman from Oregon and a finely dressed old British gent. The Oregon lady was telling a story about how she allowed her (retired) husband to buy, ride, and maintain a motorcycle without complaint because it's a hobby he truly loves and enjoys. The British gent replied with something like "You should always follow your dreams and pursue what you love; if there's you truly want in your heart, you should go for it." It would have sounded like utter horseshit coming from a motivational speaker, but I was struck by the twinkle-in-eye sincerity with which he said it.

As he got up to go to his connecting flight he said "By the way, you should look my name up on Google." I asked him what his name was and he replied "Bobby Teale. T-E-A-L-E."

Bobby Teale was the man who informed on the Kray twins, Britain's most notorious gangsters at the time, in the 1960s. He had gone into hiding for decades and re-emerged only just recently to reconnect with his brothers and tell his life story.
These are different problems. We're talking about authors and artists here. How and why should authors be paid for producing work that nobody wants? Should somebody else pay authors to pursue their hobby even when it doesn't provide much value to others?
What's a "high-NVMe chassis" and what large cloud provider uses Dell gear these days? They long ago killed the C-series line as everyone switched to Quanta (FB et al) or Supermicro (smaller players). The only people buying Dell are enterprises, and they don't buy in C-series volume nor are they price conscious.

Depending on the ultrasonic frequency used, and the spacing of seams/tailoring of the clothes, it's possible that some clothes will come out of the dryer in pieces, and you will have to sew them back together... Although I suspect wide availability of these dryer will quickly eliminate that kind of sewing, much like the prevalence of dishwashers has almost eliminated non-dishwasher-safe kitchen stuff.
> so in US they don't sell 2-generation houses?

It's not really a marketing category, because America prefers the (at least illusion of) the isolated nuclear family as the norm.

OTOH, multiple generations of adults in the same home (or in detached units on the same property) has never been uncommon (and is increasingly common in recent years), and there are certainly homes with features that cater to that use on the market, though unless a particular customer is known to be seeking that particular use the features won't be pitched for that purpose.
Yeah, it's a valid point.

I am bothered by it and steer clear of Ethereum, although the basic premise & ideas behind Ethereum interest me. There have been (4) hard forks so far. Of great concern was how the DAO fork/vote was conducted, this article provides a good summary:

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/op-ed-why-ethereums-har...

I wouldn't be surprised if ETC gains more popularity for adhering to the decentralized principles but I have no idea who is at the helm in terms of development for ETC.

ETH has seen a tripling in their value in the last few months. Definitely, the platform is a serious one, with serious goals and isn't a "shitcoin" (1000+ coins that fork bitcoin and pump and dump). They have buy-in from some major/bluechip players in the tech industry.The creator of ETH has stressed that ETH is a new technological experiment and volatility is part of the norm. So don't throw your life savings into it.

You can specifically ask for them to make it fresh; you just have to be willing to wait around for them to make it.

On a similar note, I hate the "exploit" of "Ask for fries with no salt to get them to make you a fresh batch of fries" when you can just ask them to make you a fresh batch of fries. Potatoes are about $6 per hundred pounds; they could not care less about making you a fresh batch if it means chucking the old fries out.

I'd always thought the egg laying, electrolocating Platypus was the strangest mammal:

"The platypus feeds by neither sight nor smell, closing its eyes, ears, and nose each time it dives. Rather, when it digs in the bottom of streams with its bill, its electroreceptors detect tiny electric currents generated by muscular contractions of its prey"

Details surrounding the issue in question:

In a statement the firm said the electric parking brakes installed on Model S and Model X "may contain a small gear that could have been manufactured improperly by our third-party supplier".

If the gear were to break, the parking brake would continue to keep the car from moving, but the parking brake would be stuck in place, it added.

Maybe I can answer the question "where to find people to talk to." I'm in consumer research; here's what's worked for me.

If you need b2b: LinkedIn, conference and trade show lobbies (you don't need a ticket to hang out in the lobby), email lists you can buy online. There are also companies that maintain lists of experts with every imaginable background you can speak to for an hourly fee; not cheap but worth it.

If you need consumers: survey panel companies will let you field a simple survey to people who match your criteria, who you can then recruit into a phone/Skype call. You can also recruit people yourself through well-targeted Facebook and Twitter ads. Craigslist works well; set up a short survey to prequalify people.

Money is a great accelerant. You will always find people who would talk to you for free, but offering to pay them for their time and expertise makes things go a lot faster. Plus, if you are on the shy side, money changes the dynamic. You are now not asking for a favor, but are offering to engage in a business transaction.

No, because 10x is a myth.

Usually someone described (probably by themselves) as a 10xer are the ones responsible for the code base being so bad in the first place. 10xers only work on green fields, they never get a chance to see what a catastrophe their ideas turned out to be.
So this is a matter of brakes being unable to be _disengaged_ from standing rather than engaged at speed?

There seem to me several perpetrators in this case, with Gattani being the primary one. DA Jeff Rosen and Assistant DA Steve Fein, along with Judge Danner are all perpetrators, by ridiculing the victim, and aiding Gattani to stay in the country and further torture and victimize the victim further. The people of Santa Clara county will remember DA Jeff Rosen when it is election time. SHAME on you Rosen.
The problem is not with forking to develop the protocol. Certainly, that is a good thing, and BitCoin's inability to do so is a serious issue.

The problem is forking to undo a specific transaction. That should never happen. The fact that so many people over-invested in a risky experimental project that they felt they had to sabotage the protocol to protect themselves reflects very poorly on the community.
I read that and the headline in my mind is now "cameras no longer needed to track people, can track people with mics only" ... "would you like some Gap Jeans" you were over heard talking about jeans at your local coffee shop this morning.

Something can be a theoretical concept and still useful. For politics you might want to favour transparency instead of obscurity.

As an employee in software I've been working through intermediaries for a good part of my career, so obviously interested.

I suspect that, at least in my country, it's more a matter of bad regulation than of information assymetry. But the mere fact that we're not sure which are the causes is in itself information assymetry.
Quite possible, but when I checked it was something like 0.5%, more than an order of magnitude better than the "convenience" of having a chinese bank bill your card in USD.

That's interesting. I am curious how you came up with that number. Getting six people to give you their opinions is much easier than doing any kind of extensive research.

I can grab a coffee and sit down with my laptop in Portland, Boston, or Yuma, and I will have the exact same mediocre experience. I don't care about having a transcendent coffee journey; I care about getting a predictable cup of coffee, a kinda-comfortable space, and wifi to check my email. That's it.

I can hunt for some coffeeshop that might be great or might be awful, or I can head into the local Starbucks and know exactly what I'm going to get.
Dune the book was written in 65, the movie 84.

The book heavily references the middle east, and oil dependecy.

The movie has zero, or at the least, very little visual symbolism. Especially if compared to Lynch's other work.

> How are you going to know what science is if you don't even understand the most basic of scientific facts? The only way someone goes around not knowing the answer to that question is if they've never even seriously discussed science in an educational manner.

Memorizing facts about natural phenomena has nothing to do with understanding the concept of science.
So many of these old textbooks are much clearer than ones of today. And they're no-nonsense, "What one fool can learn, another can learn."
Yes, yes, but have they finally given a human-understandable definition for BFM and related instructions? Because there's a really straightforward one possible but all of the current instructions are so misleadingly described that I think they might be incorrectly described, but I can't tell.
Sorry but I'm also going to consider that a pretty awful hack. If you're going through the trouble of setting up an animation loop for rendering graphics you need to have your text in the same space. If you don't now you have to bridge this gap of two different rendering worlds.

There are abstractions and techniques to overlay html elements over the canvas and sorta meld them together, sure. But they're rendered and updated in astonishingly different fashions that don't really go well together.

This is sorta like writing a game using a rendering technology like OpenGL but then sticking, say, a win32 label control on top of the rendered OpenGL screen. They both have very different patterns of control.
You pay them to talk to you, whatever their hourly rate is. Not a big secret.
I...okay, that headline is just bad.

Core issue: "A small gear may be defective in some cars; you should come into the service center and get it checked. If it breaks, you may be unable to disengage the parking brake."

Headline: "Massive recall over brake issue!"

It's not technically wrong. But it misleads more than it informs.

Or if you are a team like mine that develops/manages 200 servers, 15 RDS database instances, 500 TB of compressed S3 data, and provides accessibility to all of that through API's with only 5 developers because of how easy AWS makes it for us.

This can be said about any problem in any car, "one of their suppliers f'ed up" because most things in a car are manufactured by suppliers today. Car manufacturers only assemble sub systems from 3rd parties.

How comes if Ford f'ed up, it's Ford. If Toyota f'ed up, it's Toyota. If Tesla f'ed up (doors, brakes) it's a supplier?

The discussion has introduced a couple of great documentaries as well as anecdotes from people who have worked in similar circumstances in retail, (i.e. the business is important, but the valuable real estate that they're sitting on is even more important) so I don't have a problem with this sort of submission.

If the issue were the brakes not engaging, sure, I'd blame Tesla. When the issue is "the parking brake may not disengage and then you'll have to call AAA and your ice cream will melt," I'm okay with blaming the supplier.

There's this idea that these things will make them better people. What a can of worms that concept is.

We can either level the playing field, so that each of us has implicit, private, immediate, instant interaction with our own implanted systems, or, we can defer to intermediary system administrators holding the keys to machine rooms around the world, portioning out bandwidth that permits each to siphon off some compute time from a massive cluster, be it for algorithmic day trading, personal medical diagnostics, nuclear fission/fusion detonation simulations, image processing for astronomical observations, winning a Go tournament, or whatever.

But if an implant changes a person, from what do we derive our concept of self, and authenticity? Without that, how do we know we haven't died? How do we know that others are not animated corpses? What prevents us from becoming pzombies?

What's the difference between a truly convincing Real Doll, and a person after this?
> Why duplicate functionality already available in the shell though?

Well, the only reason that functionality is available in the shell is that python is capable of processing python scripts. The shell isn't. So this question doesn't make sense to me.

#!/usr/bin/env python3 heading an executable script.py means "when I execute this file, I really mean 'run the command /usr/bin/env python3 script.py", and that means "run the command 'python3 script.py'.

And running scripts by invoking python yourself is absolutely standard. Consider "python setup.py install" or, for django, "python manage.py shell".
