In the early days of network interface, unique IDs were a problem. It was once suggested that each network interface have a $1 bill attached, with the serial number of the bill being the adapter ID.

This was a real problem in the early days of low-cost Ethernet controllers. Some manufacturers didn't buy their own address space [1], but reused that of some major vendor. (Usually 3COM)
This resulted in occasional real-world duplicates.

Our problem is that Net Neutrality just isn't a big enough issue. Even if almost 100% of the people support it, not enough of them will change their vote on its account.

American democracy is broken because we're always only given two choices. You're never allowed to vote for someone who is going to represent everything you believe in.

Things could be different. If we had a system in which you could vote for whomever you want (regardless of where they're from) and that person had voting power in the legislature that was proportional to the share of votes they got, then the laws we would get would actually reflect the will of the people.

As the article points out, much of the fallout from the nuclear tests headed south and east over Utah and St. George Utah in particular. There has been a number of research studies on the population there. What is less well known is that these studies, and some longitudinal studies of Japanese survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs are nearly all of the data sets available for understanding the effects of environmental nuclear exposure on humans.

This is hilarious and sad at the same time. However, most of these write ups are aimed at attracting talent. Even more, some tech stacks are deliberately built to attract talent when the core domain is just too simple or boring.

First post. Shady. Sounds like a MongoDB recruiter trying to hack recruiting to me.

Trying to get in right before the IPO means that most of the money is already on the table and that will be priced into your options. If you think this is a method to get quick-cash, you're very wrong. Instead look to join a company ~1.5 years out. Why? 1.5 years = 1 year vest cliff, purchase shares. You then have to sit on them for 1 year to get capital gains tax instead of income tax.

You're also barred from selling options usually the first 6 months of the IPO. Thus, 1.5 years is perfect.

The other problem I have is anxiety, procrastination, and similar issues.

If you're asking this to fish for product ideas, I would love to see a managed task-master assistant service.

Remember that story of a guy that used to pay someone to sit next to him and hit him whenever he was procrastinating? Something similar could be set up where when your day starts, you connect with your assistant via video chat. They can watch everything happening on your screen.

At the start of the day, they should spend some time asking what you want to get done and break it down into a task list for you and feed you pomodoro-like chunks. An assistant could monitor 4 to 8 people at the same time with the right software (screenshots and list of open window titles).

A paid task-master or accountability-buddy. Maybe $3 or $4 an hour for the service.

Would only work on old currency. Currency since 1990 has had embedded plastic denomination strips so it's easy to check if you're wondering. In 1996 they started putting the denomination strips in difference locations for each value so you don't even need to be able to read it.

Plus the bills are printed using intaglio so yep, real currency has raised ink but that's hard to reproduce.
Outside of this not-really-helpful study, I can say that sourdoughs do tend to have a longer shelf life without preservatives; they resist staling and mold better than white bread, all things being equal. Commercial bread usually has preservatives added to balance this out, but it won't work out the same.

I've found sourdoughs, especially big miches, will actually taste better after 2 or 3 days. Commercial packaged breads are usually a straight downhill slope.

This misses the point, and makes a lot of assumptions about what happened as "power dynamics" which are unwarranted. I would not have faulted Hubeny herself for chastising Holt, because he was a bad moderator and obviously treating her unfairly. This is about the fact that Hubeny herself did not think his offense merited that, and that Talkington decided on her own in the moment that she was so righteously justified to take upon herself to disrupt the event in a way Hubeny neither asked for, nor in her reply conveyed that she was personally thankful for after the fact on behalf of herself of women in science.

If civility is really such a barrier to equality (or whoever perceives it so), why not take this to its logical conclusion as Femen has? Or if it can be conceded that a more nuanced approach is better, why assume the worst of the offender with direct social attack, if you're willing to admit already that the behavior might be subconscious and indirect?
> If we assume that the most mundane jobs get automated first (as has happened so far) the effect of automation should again be rising wages for those who get to keep their jobs.

That seems intuitively correct, but can potentially be counteracted if (some significant share of) the jobs that aren't completely automated away are automated enough to reduce entry qualifications, such that (combined with displaced workers from fully automated jobs) there is an increased supply, relative to demand, of qualified labor, driving wages down.

Jobs that are neither automated away nor simplifies by automation such that the qualified labor supply is expanded should see higher wages, but that may be a very small share of pre-automation jobs, and may not even be the majority of post-automation jobs.

Since this is now the third time that the blog post is posted on HN, I think it is as good a time as any to ask a few additional and deepening questions about this topic.

For example, do bloggers and those who promote them also have some responsibility in the stated outcome? Does the quote "στέργει γὰρ οὐδεὶς ἄγγελον κακῶν ἐπῶν" not originate from the same play that tells us: "οὔτοι συνέχθειν, ἀλλὰ συμφιλεῖν ἔφυν", and should we not take this quite literally and participate in promoting the glory and successes of Prolog applications instead of disproportionally advertising cases of their failure? Would Prolog fare better if more endorsing blog posts were written and more prominently featured? Can the posted question even be decisively answered with our current knowledge? Is Prolog not still evolving?

Further, should we promote anthropomorphism in science? Pertaining to this latter point, here is one quote:

Regrettably we cannot sweep this nonsense under the rug by saying “Why bother? This is only popular press”. It finds its echo in publications that are intended to be serious, such as Grace M. Hopper’s article with the title “The education of a computer.”. It also finds its reflection in the multi-billion yen mistake of the Japanese “fifth generation computer project”, of which you may have heard. It would have taken care of the Japanese competition; regrettably —for the Western world— they seem to come to their senses, as the larger Japanese companies are pulling out of the efforts aimed at blurring the distinction between Man and Machine.

Sexism is unavoidable, and it is not always a negative. Men hold open doors, or offer up their seat, for women more often than for men. That too is sexism, but rarely do you hear complaints.

We shouldn't try to root out all sexism, because that is the same as rooting out sexuality itself. Instead we should focus on rooting out harmful sexism. But then maybe I have that opinion because I'm a man and by definition sexist, so whatever.

That's generally how telecom works. You can always try to compete against the big guys, at least for a while, but in the long run they will own you one way or another. It's not an accident that the two biggest wireless companies are also the two biggest wireline telecom companies (and both former parts of Ma Bell).

Why? To build a telecom, you need billions in capital. To raise that much capital, you need shareholders with deep pockets. If you do very well with those investments and threaten the big telecoms, they'll just buy you out. Those investors with deep pockets will be happy to sell for a profit.
If labor part decreases in absolute value, then the bikes too get cheaper in healthy competition. So the net effect is just inflation.

Historically the period from inventing the assembly line to the large scale deployment of factory floor robots is roughly from 1920 to 1990. The same time period saw the highest wages/GDP ratio in US than ever before or ever since.
Suppose someone answers the question very well, even to the point giving details (possibly incorrect) that you were unaware of? What good does this do you? Suppose their answer contradicts what you think you know? This is one of those where you'd better be an expert in the field before dismissing their answer as incorrect since databases have been around for a really long time and there's a lot of correct answers.

It has nothing to do with social groups dedicated to eliminating truth, as I've now learned.

Wikipedia article [1] states:

Lie groups are named after Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie, who laid the foundations of the theory of continuous transformation groups.

That probably shouldn't be the goal of all polls. Some polls are supposed to predict the outcome of elections, but I'd like to see more polls that get at the root of why people support different things - so I'd like a poll that gauges people's motivation for a certain stance.

Instead of paying for the shares with cash now, I agree to pay for them in 10 years, paying interest at the minimum rate the IRS will allow (~2%). The 51% recourse means that the shares themselves are the only collateral for 49% of the loan amount (to limit my risk if the company goes bankrupt and a creditor tries to actually collect on the note).
I've never been a fan of being an employee at an early-stage startup. The options on average have close to zero value, the salaries are lower, and the hours/working conditions are worse [than at generic big company].

So now as a startup founder I'm thinking, why even give my employees options at all? Me and my co-founder are the ones that believe most in the company's upside, so the more shares for us, the better. The plan I've come up with is to 1) try and raise those salaries as best I can to market rates, with the added perks of flexibility, and 2) create a plan for profit sharing in the future.

Profit sharing agreements make more sense to me for a number of reasons. First of all, like equity, its value may never materialize. But secondly, there's actual liquidity and numbers behind it as a possible outcome. Also without the employee stock option pool, I can sell a bit more equity for more cash for better salaries.

Is this really how developers think?

And what if the user does not download the .js file?

And what if the user downloads the .js file but does not run it in an interpreter?

What if the browser authors refuse to process what is enclosed in script tags and to run Javascript?

Maybe they believe it consumes too much memory.

Based on your comment (trolling?), I think maybe Javascript is not the problem. It is developers with thinking such as yours.

If we put inline js or links to .js files in files requested via HTTP, then we cannot claim that users "chose" or gave "permission" to fetch these .js files or to run them. As another commenter stated, those requests were not initiated by the user, but by the browser.

The selection of browsers is small, and made smaller by web developers who promote use of certain browsers i.e., big fat intepreters that will run their needless Javascript. (The keyword is "needless". Almost always users can get the data they seek without running Javascript.)

These "favored" browsers present a massive memory hog and attack surface compared to the minimal tcp client required to retrieve text via HTTP.
I think the price point is too high and timeline too rushed for a casual investment.

That hasn't been my experience at all. I haven't seen a Coursera class that cost more than $79.00 and all the ones I've taken will let you switch sessions as many times as you want (so far as I can tell) making the nominal timeline a non-issue. I recently started a Bayesian Statistics class on Coursera, then got really busy with other stuff halfway through... I've switched sessions like 4 times now with no problem.

It seems odd that they insist on putting the power connectors on the top of the card instead of the back which would avoid a lot of space constraint issues.

You've just described the Feynman Algorithm.

The point of most processes is to help stupid people (or, just, people without large amounts of analytical talent) make smarter decisions than their own brains would generate. Processes "raise the waterline" of an organization's aggregate behavioral intelligence, by ensuring that the stupid-est decisions being made are no more stupid than the process.

Processes also frequently serve as checklists, to ensure that smart people aren't being temporarily stupid—"did I check that I have all my surgical tools before closing?" and such.

US consumers are very conservative when it comes to money. I'm not sure why exactly. Plus no one prints more bills than the US Treasury so some security features would be too expensive or wouldn't hold up for the period of time necessary.

Just show someone some Canadian money and you'll most likely get snickers and "Monopoly money" comments.

That being said US currency does have a number of security features - maybe other countries are overdoing it?
Ah, yes, Trump's crazy theory that global warming was invented by the Chinese to cripple the US economy.

If that was the case, China would be charging ahead with fossil fuels and doing nothing with renewables.

And building up huge industries that will make it hundreds of billions of dollars.

Yup. I came here to write this. You don't know about how those people helped because they're not the public face of the company; but often they started the seed of something that grew into something big (like you!) or solved some critical technical problem blocking scale, or helped land a key deal, or any of a hundred factors that, if they weren't done, would have severely hit the growth of the company, and couldn't have been easily done by someone else walking in off the street with a nice CV - things that required history with the company, its codebase or market or customers etc.
L1 size is probably constrained by a trade-off and competition for area between different CPU parts. If it can be increased with an overall positive effect on performance (while still being economically competitive to build), then I have no doubt Intel will do it... It is probably not crucial to have a big L1 on modern x86 arch because of very deep OOO queues, HT, speculative exec, prefetching, and all the other improvements on IPC and overall package perf that need to keep some efficiency even when L1 can't keep up anyway.

I also vaguely remember the Mill cpu guy talking about cache size constraints just because of the speed of light, but given node size has continued to decrease during the last decade while frequency has nearly stopped to increase, this might be less an issue than basic area optimizations. Or this might be an interesting consideration on Mill only because it is a radically different architecture, and needs different area ratios.

Only wild guesses though, I don't even have tried to confirm any of that with any kind of research or back of the envelop calculations.

> Sexism is unavoidable, and it is not always a negative. Men hold open doors, or offer up their seat, for women more often than for men. That too is sexism, but rarely do you hear complaints.

I've often heard complaints, by women, that this inequality is sexist, patronizing and, essentially (though usually the complaint comes from people who wouldn't use the term) a micro-aggression sending the message that women are regarded as less capable of taking care of themselves.

Now, these complaints usually aren't the complainants' biggest complaint about sexist behavior, but you may be confusing the fact that their are far bigger problems that drown out these complaints with these not actually being problems for women.

> We shouldn't try to root out all sexism, because that is the same as rooting out sexuality itself.

Sexism is not necessary for sexuality, even if it is deeply incorporated in some social norms surrounding sexuality.
Really? I guess the people you passed were not paying much attention. Inkjet prints flat money - US currency is intaglio printed which makes the print raised.

I think this is a great idea due to the fact that we need new approaches to depression. Tracking your mood would be helpful to people with mental disorders and could also inform their medical professionals. Also, the theraputic effects of a chatbot that has research behind it gives it a large amount of credibility that this actually has a postive impact.

On the other hand although the creators of the bot have good intentions I wonder about the fact that you are using the internet to relay personal medical information. Also, I don't know if your woebot information is stored anywhere so if Woebot gets hacked a bunch of PII relating any medical data you send. I wish that this was a standalone app that would prompt me to upload my data if and when I see fit.
