As a product management discipline lead, I interview product management candidates.

For some stupid reason someone in HR still puts "MBA preferred" on the posting... but I have yet to meet anyone without hands-on experience that I want to hire. I don't care if you have an MBA, I don't care if you have a college degree... what I want to know is can you do the work?

If I ask about the SLDC, what I want to hear is that they know enough to keep everything balanced -- that they aren't going to get all flustered and just try and shoehorn devs and QA and content and UX designers into something you read out of a textbook but have never really implemented.

A PM should be a shit shield, they should be comfortable saying, "No," to stupid suggestions from people up the food chain -- this leads to success of people down the food chain. An MBA doesn't prepare them for that. They will have to be able to put themselves in other peoples' shoes... lead by example. (My ideal candidate has a few years Dev or QA experience... I can go with UX even... but they have to have done some real delivery work prior to being a PM in order to not suck at it -- my opinion.)

Anyway, long way of saying, "Undergrads, save your money. Go learn how to code, get a job doing that, then make the transition a few years in once you actually know how things work. At that point, if you want to go to school -- cool, you may find it useful to augment what you already learned on the job."
Sounds like a good idea to me. It will demonstrate to lawmakers the advantages and necessity of encryption.
Uhh, this isn't going to be the panacea many are making it out to be here. This will not come close to accommodating the current capacity of freeways.

The tunnel is being planned to be 14 feet wide, which is how it suddenly becomes viable. That's around two 'stabilized electric sleds' in one tunnel.

Current freeways are 8+ lanes and you'll have to consider how the specifics of group travel are going to be worked out.

Can anyone who've done their own research comment on the throughput once there are interconnected tunnels?
What I Learned about Entrepreneurship from 365 Days living on Airbnb
I do love the "freedom" of driving to Lake Tahoe once a year or so, but it's a patently silly adjective for describing people commuting between two fixed points (home and work), at a fixed hour, five times a week. Which is what all these urban traffic ideas are trying to solve, basically.

I don't think all those people stuck at I-680 have a deep love of staring at the next car's bumper for two hours every day. Re-branding it as "freedom" doesn't make the experience particularly palatable.

Chelsea Manning Is Expected to Leave Prison, 28 Years Early
My question is kind of "sure, but so what?" It seems to me that lots of politicians have sketchy foreign ties. The Bushes have their Saudi partners and the Clintons have the Chinese. I think this is a bad thing and ought to be unconstitutional, but I get a sense Trump is being singled out for something everyone does. Personally I find the Saudi connections of the Bushes more troubling than Putin.

(I say this as someone who is not a Trump supporter.)

It turns out that most transportation tunnels do in fact have a significant input of energy.

Ventillation to exhaust waste heat is a major concern.

From discussions of net-zero housing in Alaska (Thorstein Chlupp), my understanding is that water tends to flow from hot to cold -- it will condense along a cold surface. A condenser + sump system where some engineering mechanism keeps the inner tunnel wall from remaining at equilibrium temperature with the interior, might work, though how cold that would need to be to keep humidity manageable would be a question. Routing the cold-side air ducts such that they waste heat to the subsurface and draw heat from the tunnel wall might be one approach. Further cooling through water (fresh, sea) is another possibility, though both present significant issues, scarcity of fresh in Los Angeles, and general nastiness of sea,
There are a lot of MBAs with undergrad CS degrees who know about the trench warfare and saying no. It is a solid combo.
Heh. Can I work for you?:)

I switched in the end of last year from Team Lead Engineer to PM position and have had blast since then. The job is very challenging and I'm keep learning new and new things about our customers and users. Previously working with PMs who are not from engineering background was often very frustrating, because google can find any answer right?
That's like comparing oranges to apples. And planes, indeed fly over your head all the time; there is probably hundred of thousands of them in the air as we speak - how many of them are falling on your head?

If I have a choice of an autonomous emergency parachutte -deployed landing done by my mid-air broken aircar, and being stuck in the heart of Earth with no air and very high temperature literally feeling like a needle in someone's body, I chose the falling cars.
Sadly the article does not specify whats automated and slashing these jobs. I suppose the majority of these terminated positions are service roles, like help desks / call center?
AAC was introduced in 1997, does any one know when will its patents expire as well?

And we haven't had any improvement in Audio compression since then. MP3 - AAC and That is it. All the others are at best AAC similar quality / bitrate.

At 256Kbps, the majority couldn't hear a difference between MP3 and AAC. At 128Kbps it is only slightly better.

We dont have anything like HEVC which is an order of magnitude better then, say MPEG-2 at low bitrate.
You are obviously entitled to your opinion and it might be that you've only seen people who are still learning to use vim, but to give little perspective from someone who has been using for little over two years.

Movement:

Moving around is a hassle at first, most people insist using arrows instead of hjkl, but even thous are slow and tedious. You get much more mileage from using w, e and b for jumping between words, but even thous get slow after a while and recently I've been using the f and t commands to Find and jump To places (characters) I want to. Obviously it requires some time to learn and I am by no means perfect, but I dare to say it is faster than scrolling and pointing with a mouse.

Plugins:

I don't really see how installing plugins is tedious, you just slap one of the managers into your ~/.vim/autoload (I use pathogen) and then rest you just clone to ~/.vim/bundle. Vim doesn't have build in plugin browser and one click install, like Atom does, but at least to me that is not a problem. Maybe it's because I don't use that many plugins, who knows.

Tabs/buffers:

These do take some time to get used to, but I wouldn't say they are any more clunky than your average editors tabs.

Memorizing commands:

At first it seems like insurmountable task since almost every key is a command and as you mentioned most plugins have their own commands, but truth is you don't need most of them to get started and as you use the tool (or at least thats how it was with me) you Google how to do something tedious faster and there is almost always a better method. As for the "file tree view", I don't know what that plugin is, but I can guess and I used something called NERDTree at start, but vim's build in :find command is pretty powerful at just finding what you need and now I use fzf which makes finding files even faster.

Over all I get why you might dislike vim even without trying it (since most vim users constantly push their shitty editor (and dont get me wrong vim is shit, but it's least shit editor I've yet found)), but I suggest you try using it on a side project and see if you like it, don't install any plugins at first just try reading the documentation and making changes to the config as you go along. I bet you'd be surprised how much you'd enjoy it.
"Join now" and inaccessible page.
Well hang on. Do we understand the impact of, for example, just a single lane, one-direction tunnel with respect to rush hour traffic in LA? It's like a shunt. Sure, more is better, but we're not talking about replacing freeways. We're looking at a way to improve traffic.
Part of me keeps waiting for someone with the right clout and means to attack the elephant in the room:

Change the rules of the road.

Our roads can move far more cars per unit time than they do now. This is easy to see if you drive around Los Angeles for a fair amount of time. I drive the 405 corridor with some frequency and I can say it has gotten worst over the last few years.

Yet, the one common theme you see every day consists of these characteristics:

- Cars driving everywhere at whatever speed they want
- Cars driving slowly on the left
- "Synchronized" driving, where two cars drive equally slow side-by-side
- People who can and want to drive faster have to zig-zag through traffic
- The carpool lane is inhabited by people who do nor carpool
Just because a car has more than one person it doesn't mean they are
carpooling.
- The carpool lane has buses going slow and sometimes (often) empty
- No penalty for slowing down when going uphill and causing backup

It's insane, there are no penalties for going slow and causing backups that trigger massive oscillations that lead to the entire freeway going through these nodes where speed grinds down to zero. This wave travels backwards and it can be triggered by slow or insecure drivers. I've seen in time and time again.

If I were to generalize, the rules of the road are not designed or evolved to optimize flow. You can't even say they are optimized for safety because there is nothing safe about a moron going 55 on the fast lane while people are swerving all over the place to get around him.

What we need is a new mentality: Caltrans and CHP need to work together to optimize flow, not get in the way of it. The carpool lane is a disgrace. It takes-up 20 to 25 percent of the road's capacity for no gains whatsoever. We need a layered system where slow drivers get out of the way and don't impede others. I am not saying go full autobahn but there's merit to the idea that slow drivers should not be allowed to impede others. I've watched the 405 grind to a halt because of a few (two or three) drivers who manage to lock-up an area. It always gets worst before it gets better.

Tunnels? Sure. But first fix the real problem.

This is where self driving cars might do an amazing job. We will be able to extract far more capacity out of the existing infrastructure by increasing speeds and layering them from right to left.
I always assumed there was some piece of Internet wisdom I didn't that the "J" represented.
But, didn't you hear? "As it turns out, building native apps for multiple platforms doesn’t scale." How else could they write the app to support 3 platforms? /s

There is also no mention of the fact that electron is also a GitHub product; maybe this is assumed to be general knowledge, but it seemed to be trying to sell electron pretty hard and waves off the platform's deficiencies with a "things will get better soon" line.

Anyways, stand strong & resist the electron assimilation.
I love the punchy writing style of the FAQ - so full of Elon's spirit and go-getter attitude!

Very true. But HTML is not unique in this regard, other standards have done this too.

I picked on HTML because it is also a foundational web technology. Many of its standards setters are the same people who will influence WASM, and many of the same incentives will be at play with WASM as with HTML.
I'd like to know more about this. Check valves [1] do just this, and they work without energy input, what is the difference ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_valve
That is still going 3D but without the significant speed increase. Also it is much more beautiful and less noisy to have highways out of sight so that the city is left for people and bikes, as opposed to stacked highways towering over head.

Well, given that both tunnels and elevated roads are still being built, the most expensive likely varies depending on the situation. If Musk really reduces the cost of tunneling by 10x, that calculus will shift in the direction of tunneling, obviously.

Dirt roads are extremely cheap and have been around forever. That doesn't make them the best choice in a modern society.
Because the decision whether or not to invest in public transport is a political one. A private company can't force society to allocate more tax money to public transport infrastructure. It can, however, provide more attractive infrastructure options, which seems to be what the Boring company is trying to do.
I believe that's GP's point. Boring is useful on Mars. Earth-based public transit, perhaps less so.

Elevated roads require surface space. A tunnel requires a small entry-point.
I guess you missed the 125mph speed in the tunnel, thus decreasing that 1-2 hour commute to about 9 minutes or less. Or, 20 times faster than even the best crammed in a sardine can public transit.

The idea of public transit being redefined as 6-8 passenger vehicles you get paired with at the bus stop that then use the tunnel network to decrease transit time for those who need to use public transit is also absent from your retort. As is the honesty about the typical case for public transit, non-peak. This case in the tunnel system suddenly realized for a fraction of the cost because vehicles are on-demand instead of driving a mostly empty big ass bus (or light rail car) on a route according to a schedule. It's basically for public transit what streaming is for TV.

Also, all of the things you describe as "tyranny" are actually choices, making them "freedom", the opposite of "tyranny". I've lived in Los Angeles for almost 35 years and I've never chosen a 1+ hour commute, though you are free to if you choose. I also don't choose to go to the parking insane areas. Again, your choice. But there is little choice with current public transit solutions. You go where they tell you when they tell you and that's that. And don't forget your mandatory sampling of the, I'll put it nicely, culture du jour.
> I disagree that just working for a startup for a year will give you the same experience.

Why? Actually working on delivering a product seems like far better experience than any educational program, internship or not. Since most people go to school with the end goal of getting a job, it seems far better to skip school if you have the option. What are they going to teach you that you can't learn on the job?

I'd much rather a manager have real experience in the role of the people he's managing than come straight out of school with a pretense of expertise.

Elon did mention the tunnels being used for hyper loop
Getting that first bit of experience seems hard for a product manager. Most places will only hire people with experience as a product manager, and for those who will hire someone without prior experience, they seem to prefer MBAs. This at least seems like a path to product management that isn't a MBA.
It's a good combo, sure. But a CS degree is way too theoretical. Hands on experience for a leadership role is still going to be preferred. I want to hire a leader who can tell people on their team, "Hey, when I was in this situation a few years back... here's how we handled it... here's what went well, here's what didn't..."

For anyone, I think getting an MBA straight out of undergrad sort of sets you up to be perpetually useless -- a stuffed shirt. You never get the hands-on experience doing the work you are supposed to be leading. Then you have to learn how to manage the work on the job, and as the old saying goes, "Months of dev work can save hours of planning!"

No question, I'd advise people to get hands-on experience if they want to be a leader.

Wait, what?
See I don't know what specifics they're talking about when they say 'a large network'.

It'll obviously be more efficient to dig a wider tunnel than multiple tunnel on a single route. So, unless I'm wrong, to me it looks like it'll only be one tunnel, with one track to and one track back.

How many people do you think can be transported in a direction in a 'sled' in one lane? I'm talking about one point to another point throughput not the complete network. I'm betting the numbers will be very underwhelming.

Living in another crowded city, Hong Kong, perhaps I can offer some perspective: We have tons of elevated tools highways and bypasses aimed at reducing traffic, the problem is all these elevated roads needs to go around a lot of tall buildings. Going underground with subway already provides us with better solution to a lot more of our traffic problem. What the boring company's proposing isn't all that different from the subway solution (we already have subway going three or four level deep), it simply allows cars to transported via subway.
Also by going underground. Tokyo's metro is fantastic and one of the few globally that has more than 100% farebox recover ratio.

Bactra Review of ANKoS

Hi All,

I'm the academic head of this new program on the School of Computer Science side of things. Happy to answer any questions you might have about this program (though it will have to be in the morning since it's about 1am on the east coast and well past my bedtime) And no, I didn't plant this link. :)

One of the key strengths of our Master's of Product Management program is that it combines elements of computer science, user experience design, and business skills (including strategy and management). We also have a significant component devoted to communication and leadership skills, based on interactive workshops and personal mentoring.

On a personal note, this notion of marrying business skills with UX design and computer science has been a long-term goal of mine. I'm a techie at heart (I got my PhD from Berkeley CS), but I feel that having strong skills in user experience or CS only helps so much if you don't have decision-making authority. And to get to those decision-making positions, you need to be able to manage technical teams well, understand how a product fits within the existing market, and know about best practices in prototyping and evaluating user interfaces so that your product has a compelling user experience.

Taste can be disguised with spices or condiments, and cooking and food processors will produce an edible texture out of almost anything. Nutritional variables are unaffected by these modifications, hence measure more of the underlying reality.
> You can also fly. Skies are more 3D than digging and easier to access

Easier, yes. Cheaper, no.

> At some point the holes could cause collapses.

The risk is extremely low, and car accidents have caused a vastly greater number of deaths than any other form of transportation.

> There's also water mains and other hazards and obstacles.

Pretty sure there were some pretty massive hazards with flying too.

> Sounds dangerous.

Which a lot of people said about flying as well. And it's vastly safer than a car.
You're not considering an important factor: connections and opportunities. If doing this course makes you multiple steps closer to getting hired at Big Cos, then I think the tuition fee is worth it. Same applies for almost every degree in the world. Courses are easy to replicate; environment is not.

Something that can discriminate without energy input is a form of Maxwell's Demon. If you are unfamiliar, it's a lot of fun to learn about.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell%27s_demon is a reasonable start.

Check valves absolutely do consume energy. Something has to resist the spring forcing them closed, or they would never open. They are convenient in that their energy is sourced from the very thing they are controlling, but they are energy-consuming devices.
