> They've pissed off "broflakes"

What does this mean? I've never heard the term.

Tbh,i don't really understand the "brogrammer" thing either. I got my CS degree, then was at Google, and then the first employee at a tiny startup and none of those experiences gave me any inkling of what the brogrammer stereotype might be. Isn't the programmer stereotype literally the opposite of a "bro"?

As if condescension was a binary thing...

...and as with much of this stuff, much of it depends on context -- body language, situation, phrasing, intonation, and so on. A perfectly routine request or offer can quickly become patronizing depending on the manner in which it is asked, or by who. The vibe that I got from the original article was HOPPERS was one of those things -- help, ostensibly, but unnecessary and patronizing. Not in the same category as Mr. Sweetie Manager but still offensive.

It'll be pretty incredible if Tesla gets close to $50B in rev in 2020. I'm a huge homer for Tesla and I'm thinking they'll be like $50B in 2020. Many people still won't be convinced of Tesla's place. But that's how things go.

> I suspect men-only clubs for traditionally female dominated fields, something like an all male kindergarten teacher group, would be broadly accepted as reasonable.

Nursing, home healthcare, child care, veterinary services, social services, and libraries are the other canonical examples besides education of highly women-dominated fields where having male-only employee resource groups might make logical sense.

I'm not sure I agree with you that it would be broadly accepted as reasonable, however, even though I personally would find it reasonable.
I think it's a very short hump to overcome, and then you're just rolling with Tachyons.
As an aside, my first job involved mentoring software engineering interns.

I was the "intern buddy", and the policy was for all incoming interns regardless of their gender.

The transition from college to work life can be challenging for many people (it was for me, I wish I had an intern buddy), regardless of their gender.
I am. Technology was in such a good place; the internet was a buffet of information free and available perused mostly by nerds, the clueless, and the occasional asshat. Now that all this crap's gone mainstream, the best info was bought up, and positivity-sucking muggles have ruined all that's left.

My nearby grocery store makes/serves fresh pizza, take out dinners (different each night), the usual rotisserie chickens (that are all gone by 7), in store made sushi (to order if you're there at the right time), has an asian and american hot bar, and provides a drive through grocery pick up service.

I like how she was pissed when she was "out victim-ed" HA!

I think you are right, employees like this have an bigger agenda they are focused on rather than doing work of the company.

And the fact that she says she has bipolar depression (and she was on involuntarily mental commitment for 8-days!?! A 5150 in California is 72-hours!) and yet she can't imagine why somebody would say she is not doing well at work, is also ridiculous on the face of it.
You might not be credited by name but having a college professor who is willing to say you are indispensable to the productivity of the department isn't worth nothing.

What difference does it make? In a competitive money market, negative rate loans will appear. Lenders still make a spread. The issue is not positive or negative rates, but whether the price expectation is stable or unstable. As long as the absolute value of price change is small the price is stable. As for why central banks prefer positive rather than negative, that's the better question.

The Do's and Don'ts of Burning a Jersey
CPU gains for the last few gens have mainly been in perf/watt and, now, core count in lower-class chips thanks to AMD. The biggest benefit of a system upgrade for the last few gens, from a user perspective, has been for the chipset's gains - NVMe, USB3, USB-C, etc. more than raw performance. That's slowly trickled up but the real-world gains in many tasks haven't been enough to really justify it.

I know many people still sitting on anywhere from a 2xxx gen to a 5xxx gen and just don't feel compelled to upgrade from a CPU perspective. Those that eventually do, do so for the motherboard features more than the CPU - that's just a necessary cost for a small benefit.

This is marginally different for laptops where perf/watt becomes more important, of course. However for desktops, I certainly wouldn't be troubled by a 4xxx gen. I upgraded last year and it was from a 920 to a 6600K. Even the 920 did much of what I wanted, honestly, it was more a luxury upgrade.
When I consider these UX fails I often attribute them to the faith in AB testing. It may not be, but it's common for people to complain about X in the Netflix UI and then have either employees or apologists come in and talk about how there have been 100k variants vetted through A/B testing and say the way it works now is the way most people like it. However, this approach tends to fall flat on cross-cutting and more creatively challenging UX concerns. Sometimes you need a Cambrian explosion.
Damn! That's a lot. Thanks for the descriptions for all of them too. About 6 channels seem interesting to me. I'm not into cars (that's what happens when you blow most of your early lucky web money on a Porsche and then go broke :p), or cooking or Asian culture beyond listening to Kpop. But still seems like I might like the handful of ones that seem interesting to me.
The ability to protect the health of mothers and babies in childbirth is a basic measure of a society's development. Yet every year in the U.S., 700 to 900 women die from pregnancy or childbirth-related causes, and some 65,000 nearly die — by many measures, the worst record in the developed world.

Being one of the statistics sucks. Coming up on 37 years since I was born and she was gone less than 30 days later from a pregnancy-induced rare blood disease. Middle class. Suburban Chicago. Instilled in me from a very young age to try to live a good life because of her sacrifice.

They are building a huge factory for making battery packs in Nevada. That's already operational and will be more so by December. I imagine that's part of the solution.
Indeed, but that would require common sense. That's a lot of work, as Doug Lenat will readily confirm.

Ask HN: Microservices, Dependencies and Events
I’ve been doing a lot of googling regarding managing dependencies between microservices. We’re trying to move away from big monolithic app into micro-services in order to scale organizationally and be able to develop faster and with multiple teams working in parallel.

However, as we’re trying to functionally partition the monolith into the microservices, we see how intertwined business logic and data really is. This was not a problem when we were sitting on top of one big DB and were able to do big relational joins. But with microservices, this becomes a problem.

One solution is to make microservice-A go to 5-10 other microservices to get necessary data (this is equivalent of DB view with join). Another solution is to make microservice-A listen to events from 5-10 other services and populate local storage with relevant into (this is an equivalent of materialized view).
Either way, microservice-A is coupled with 5-10 other services, and if new info is needed in microservice-A, the some of the services that it depends upon might will need to be release prior to microservice-A. Please note that microservice-A is itself depended upon by other services. Bottom line, we end up with DISTRIBUTED dependency hell.

Many articles advocate for second solution – i.e. something along the lines of Event Sourcing, Choreography, etc.

I would appreciate any shared experiences, recommendations and insights.

That's terrible, I am sorry for your loss.
It's unfortunate that you're being downvoted. This is a classic and unsolved problem in the philosophy of mind and the people stating confidently that of course the mind is a purely physical system are ignoring many problems with that hypothesis, not least the lack of any conclusive evidence for it.

I'm not here to convince you of anything, but I will say with all genuine honesty I don't know who Paul Graham is. I'm here because I got tired of reddit and my friends said there's more tech news here.

I also think that "playing startup" is so obvious that many people could have come up with it. That being said, it's also quite possible that I saw it somewhere and absorbed it without fully remembering the source and now have a false memory of coming up with it myself.

I will add though that it's pretty fascinating as someone who is so disinterested in (and at times has a disdain for) startup people and startup culture, to be accused along the lines of, "how dare you feign not knowing who Startup Person X is!"
A large engine is generally more efficient than a small one. Most cars are in the 20% range. Steam turbines do better than 40%. So even with transmission and storage losses, having a centralized engine outside of the vehicle is much more efficient.
It's fun to think that this is a sufficient definition of consciousness.
Sorry, but the author of that article clearly does not understand... It doesn't matter if humans store data the way computers do, the point is, that humans can be abstracted as state machines.

Yes, humans are certainly different than our PCs today, but that does not mean that the principles are so different. E.g. humans seem to use a lot of lossy 'compression' while that is something we try to avoid in software in recent years. So we use computers for the things humans cannot do very well and therefore it appears that we are different.

I think the whole discussion about putting the human mind into computer terminology is more about accepting that humans are just biological machines versus believing that humans are special because they have a soul and are different than any other animal.

> Nothing as permanent as a temporary solution.

Maybe so, but what does "doing them immediately" solve if you're pushed for time anyway?

> It also doesn't matter whether you loose track of a to-do in your ticket system or your codebase

No, but it does matter if one is more likely. If a TODO is listed right next to the code, anyone who begins working on it has that context immediately.
> I do not think this is correct, at least for most of the sub-fields of computer science and physics. Prestigious conferences and journals invite only well known researchers to review, who are mostly professors. Few post-docs get invited.

What about PhDs? You've never seen PhDs review papers in CS? It happens for prestigious conferences too.

My end goal is just to make my work useful to someone else.

I do these projects because I want to. I'm going to keep building stuff, because that's what I enjoy. I just feel useless when I think how much time I spend on it, and then nobody cares.

Existing Chinese textbooks don't have colours for tones, pinyin, and literal translations. So I decided to make my own software to do that. I can sit back and judge the textbook authors (saying their stuff sucks), but that doesn't help anyone. So I made my own better one! But the only person who is helped by my work is me. It's not going to change the world if I'm the only person who uses it. Do I have to be a business in order to give stuff away for free?
UBI would be very unlikely to be that high a figure.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13622341 has some order-of-magnitude figuring I did a while ago. It suggests (to me) that the maximum UBI that might be achievable is more in the range of $500/mo/adult.

If you're working 160 hours/month at $9/hr, your UBI will make you feel a little more secure, a little less likely to take a never-ending river of shit from your boss, but it's not going to let you quit your job and play Call of Duty all the rest of your days.
> I mean, like it or not, white people have built up generational wealth on the backs of black people. This continued long after slavery ended and we subconsciously will do everything we can to maintain that wealth. This tone might look and feel disrespectful, but what it is is a memo to white people that if they don't wake up, they're going to lose it.

I absolutely agree with this. But it's completely possible to talk about these issues without being flippant, dismissive, and disrespectful of white people. Indeed, your post does so.
What is a particle collider?
My wife was assessed as a preeclampsia risk during all her pregnancies. The last one they were so concerned she was airlifted to the state's top maternity and neonatal hospital. I can't imagine getting the same level of care in a profit motivated healthcare system without bankrupting our family.

I doubt that it is the focus on infants that is the real problem in the US but it might be difficult to say what the real problem is without getting into a shitstorm as health care has become so politicised.
I just had a disheartening conversation with someone involved in healthcare data AI, not a doctor rather a technologist. The topic of maternal death came up, mentioned that the US was going backwards, and holy smokes it was an eye opener.

1 - they did not believe the maternal mortality data capturing methods in other countries was on par with US so failed to see the backwards trends in the US alone.

2 - called my interest in pointing out maternal death rates "noble" but misguided as hospitals will pay attention to their "pain points" such as out of control costs, readmission rates.

3 - after pointing out that pregnancy is the 6th highest reason for death women 15-34, said we should focus on the top 5 because that would have more impact on women's health.

There was more but those were main points. I ended my debate with this message: pregnancy is the one "illness" where the patient was likely relatively healthy to begin, and once over, will likely have similar health after with 100% guaranteed remission upon menopause. Hospitals just need to keep them alive. What other medical condition can have such positive outcomes over the long term?

The whole conversation just kept reinforcing the point that maternal outcomes are indeed affected by society / medical professionals not caring enough.
The article indirectly says it's using special MRI machines with much better than millimeter resolution. So I think your first analogy is likely better than your second.

It should also be noted:

When working on X, and noticing another piece of work Y, thinking too hard about Y can break context/concentration and your focus on X.

Focus needs to be preserved, which is why you drop TODO markers, rather than "just doing them" - you are already doing something, doing something else means not doing what you are meant to be doing now - not pragmatic at all.

I feel in the US that we have an almost unnatural desire to protect children, to the exclusion of other people.

Sure, who can be against children? They're young, cute (as long as you aren't changing their diapers at the time), and innocent of any possible wrong doing. Anything bad they do is just reflected on poor parenting, if that's the case or not.

But yet the same pro-life people who want to save every child's life don't seem nearly so sympathetic to mothers, even mothers that want to have healthy children. The calls for de-funding planned parenthood and bad maternity leave policies are at odds with having healthy babies and families. And healthy families are exactly what insurance companies, the government, and families can agree on. (It's cheaper for insurance, more citizens to be tax payers, and families love kids)

Yet in the political sphere, we're trying to take away programs like SNAP and WIC (which provide assistance to families and mothers). It's a lot cheaper to feed a baby at home and keep them healthy than it is to feed them in a hospital. Don't even get me started on childhood education.

I do think we have the technology to do much better, but we lack funding, education, and political will. And it's all become entangled in the welfare/abortion debate, which in America seems evergreen for political abuse.

I have never heard anyone call (1) sexual harassment as long as it was handled in an appropriate manner, i.e.

a. There was no power relationship involved. Don't try to hook up with your subordinates. That is extremely inappropriate.

b. It was not excessively crass. Asking someone out for a drink is okay; asking them outright for sex is not.

c. It was not done repeatedly in the face of rejection. Hitting on someone once to see if they are interested is okay; continuing to hit on them after you have been rejected is not.
Yeah, it seems to me like such a program would be a great addition to the onboarding process at many companies.
