>From the results of the study, one would infer that if they adopt these 4 traits, they will become CEOs

The article is about what distinguishes successful CEOs, not just what traits lead to people becoming CEOs.

>Don't they need a control group of randomly selected persons?

>In my opinion, a CEO needs to be driven...

I read the study differently. That is, less successful CEOs were the control. So, the idea is that whatever traits led to people landing in the CEO role (including, possibly, being driven); the traits outlined were those that set apart the successful CEOs.
Can you explain what you mean by this?

I'm interpreting it like: this book is acting more important than it is, you turned a single page, and then closed the tab because you thought it wasn't worth reading.

You even responded to that thread yesterday, not sure how you didn't see this...
You do know that insurance companies are limited to the amount that they can spend on overhead and have to return excess premiums to those that paid them? So yes, it hurt the insurance monopolies, and since they didn't have as much to spend on overhead (aka profit/bonuses) would have to raise premiums.

Also what upgraded version has been released? I haven't found any PubMed/FDA studies mentioning any improvements nor any studies funded by the company. Can you point me to some?
I think this, however flawed some of the explanation of the effect might be, is something we can try and experiment with fairly easily. Either it can be done, or not. And I believe it can.

Now, we can't let Musk do all the cool things, maybe someone else could step in and fund a project to explore application of updraft towers.
ajarmst's point goes beyond click-baitiness -- indeed it is about the little quote-box on the first para rather than the title. You say: "Any software system begins as a shared narrative about a problem and the people who come together around solving that problem."

I can, in fact, bend my view of facts to fit this metaphor. And if am also dubious about doing so, that's OK as it makes it all the more likely that I will learn something new from your post.

So why spoil that with some the arrogant demand that: "If you don’t accept the above proposition completely then nothing I have to say about software is going to work for you."?
I believe it is the SEC suing him for fraud, not investors trying to recoup losses. If you commit fraud in the financial industry, whether with or without harm, the regulator will come after you.
It is there, you just have to know what to look for, it helps to get out to the country. Down in deepest, darkest Devon - one of my Uncles married into a family who have a) been in Devon for centuries (as had his side of the family), and b) generally about the same shade as northern Indians. Friends at university had similarly ancient pedigrees, and tight, curly hair. etc.

Modern day Japan, btw. is ethnically "Japanese". Which is to say the entire country are migrants from various parts of the Asian mainland over the last 4000 or so years, again, obvious when you know what to look for. (And don't mention Korea...)

Concern over the problems of the modern era, overpopulation and refugees, are real, valid and deserve respect. But they don't need to be mixed up with the convenient stupidities of racism.

this isn't about it being lumpy. this is about whether it's flat.
I'm established now. I own a great company. I love my work and have happy customers and supportive people in my life. So I can see straight through the resentment for what it is...

It's likely enough the author is observing something real in at least some cases, but it's laughable to imagine that perspective and deep insights into the minds of others (i.e., empathy) comes with success and comfort. All evidence is that the opposite is true. It's not farfetched to suppose that he sometimes reads something else (like frustration) as resentment.

As context, here's an early paper describing the motivation behind the first edition, and why it chose a different approach from the famous Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs:

Felleisen, M., Findler, R. B., Flatt, M., & Krishnamurthi, S. (2004). The structure and interpretation of the computer science curriculum. Journal of Functional Programming, 14(4), 365–378.

A key paragraph:

> Over the past few years, we have developed an alternative approach to teaching the first course. We have translated the approach into a new text book, and we believe that it addresses SICP’s failings along four dimensions. First, the book discusses explicitly how programs should be constructed. Second, to tame the complexity of programming, it defines a series of teaching languages based on Scheme that represent five distinct knowledge levels through which students pass during their first course. The levels correspond to the complexity of data definitions that the program design guidelines use. Third, the book uses exercises to reinforce the explicit guidelines on program design; few, if any, exercises are designed for the sake of domain knowledge. Finally, the book uses more accessible forms of domain knowledge than SICP.
You know why it's called a hat? Cause you can take it off and put another one on. Or even be extra silly and wear two or more at the same time. It's tongue in cheek but there is some truth there.

In this case he was selling malware so I think this about a time when head gear was of a darker color...
I got used to the idea of staying away from the cutting edge in the early 2000's. The original Athlon and Thunderbird processors were groundbreaking in performance, but consumer cooling and PSU design had not caught up with their power and heat output demands - the result was uncomfortably noisy and hot at best. The high end parts really are like Ferraris in that they do take more of your time and care to deal with issues like that.

Now when I look at new machines and components I look for something slightly middle-of-the-road, mainstream-leaning, with low power output but quality components, and later revisions of an architecture, since system performance is a more-than-the-sum-of-its-parts game. I actually priced out a Ryzen 3 build today, but I might be better served with the last gen APUs.
I'm not including China because there are no exports from China.
How many Polish genes do you think will be in Afghanistan in 2000 years- after all, Polish units have served in Afghanistan. I have an acquaintance whose Russian family lived in Azerbaijan during the fall of the Soviet Union- they figured things were about to go south, so they packed their genes and moved. Maybe an African living in Britain felt the same way when the the legions left and the Scots were coming over the wall...
I keep a notebook with a list of references on pedagogy, including active learning:

https://www.refsmmat.com/notebooks/pedagogy.html

The Peer Instruction section features a great deal of research in introductory physics courses, where well-implemented active learning methods can double or triple student learning of core concepts. (I also blogged about this research long ago: https://www.refsmmat.com/posts/2012-10-19-shutup.html)

Students in intro physics classes tend to memorize the formulas but don't have any conceptual understanding, and active learning seems to dramatically improve the conceptual understanding without harming the ability to solve typical calculate-the-force problems.

Happy to discuss or send PDFs if you're not able to obtain them. My email is in my profile.
Great. 1.5 which was just released really helps with pattern matching failures and gives suggestions. I really like testing with elixir.
I'll have to admit I prefer services that has a "sign up with" particularly google, github or facebook in that order :)

> This is why as devs grow older, they transition to more established corporations. It's why VCs love to fund younger founders.

VCs love younger founders because their easier to manipulate and control. Becuase they'll cheerfully risk everything and give most the gains away to the VCs.

It is not an attitude we should be encouraging or suggesting is a status quo allowed to exist. In part because it's unethical, but also in part because it encourages the proliferation of many small, disposable companies that only benefit investors by trying to implement the smallest delta in tech increase possible in the industry.
How to Use Signal Without Giving Out Your Phone Number:A Gendered Security Issue
> Is C# becoming the lingua franca of modern game engines?

Unfortunately. It's a decent language, but it just seems a bit too heavy to use as a scripting language, but not as good as C++ for heavy lifting.

I'm doing some stuff on Godot, and will probably just end up using GDScript for basic stuff, and GDNative for more intensive stuff (It's a C/C++ API for shared libraries that you can load up through the editor).
You are way too sensitive though. The virtue signaling is through the roof. All you're doing here is "trying to make sure a terrible person gets their comeuppance." Like really?
You've never pulled a prank in your life?

I notice you and a lot of people like you have around 100-500 karma. I wonder if it's just newbies trying to find some way of differentiating themselves. Virtue signaling is in fashion, so it makes sense.
I honestly dont know if I have any music on my computer. I use Spotify for probably ~10 hours/day. (Work, Gym, Commute)
Not sure what you consider "core hardware" but iPads and iPhones have the best cpus/gpus, among the best (if not the best) displays, and among the best (if not the best) cameras.

I also would not say that "great software" does not cost that much. It costs Apple billions of dollars annually to create that software.
Counter example. I worked in a company with a lazy CEO, present 3 hours a week. But a great team, paid well. We were happy and accomplished some very good work.

Not saying this is the way to go. But to this day, I am surprised it worked out.
I generally agree. OTOH, it's not as if this stuff cannot be measured at all.

The problem is that what are really just "somewhat interesting observations" tend to be sold (or interpreted) as much more "actionable" than they really are. That is, the implication is that if you go out and do these four things, you'll be successful too.

Seems like 99% of business and self-help advice boils down to this formula.
Great looking app that almost has all of the features I need.

If yiu could add starred repos to the profile view( maybe in a 2x2 grid instead of 3x1), it would be perfect.

Starred repos serve as kind of a code bookmark /read it later service for me and sometimes I like to browse through it before starting a new project to get ideas.
I have to admit, although I use domain specific debuggers sometimes (gdb, debuggers of IDEs), I mostly debug via print-statements, as it just works in most scenarios.

Am I missing out? AFAIK step-back debuggers are still more research (I think Elm has something like this), but otherwise I just want to have system snapshots and there print($foobar) works very well for me across languages.
He didn't get convicted of the ponzi scheme charge though. So the way he paid back investors is considered legit.
Do the early investors who made money from Madoff's funds not have a fraud case against him since they made money even though it was paid out from later investors and not from the actual investments claimed?

It seems like both cases are fraud, it's just that one has a better outcome for the victim than suing and hoping it wasn't all spent on Wu-Tang albums.
Leaving aside the particulars of this case, I must say that anyone who does anything that might plausibly be prosecuted ought to remain anonymous, and practice good OPSEC. In researching an article about such issues, just about every bust was the result of carelessness.
> I'm honestly surprised how many people don't agree with that.

At some level, most people think everyone else thinks and behaves similarly to them, and are surprised when they find out that they don't. That's why projection is a thing.
Samsung makes nothing, and has never made anything, remotely close to this.
Wait wait wait, he committed fraud... but everyone he defrauded actually ended up getting a 3X return on their investment because he just took money from another one of his ventures?

I mean, illegal sure, but seems like he still held up his end of the bargain.
The people who bring your food at Sonic do not make sure you've activated (removed) the coupon you told them you had. So you could use the coupon over and over...

Ask HN: Why do services like Stripe use a public key and a private key?
Why not just a private key? Is there any good reading or tutorials on this subject?
No. The thing you have to understand is that the air from sea level to the stratosphere, to a first approximation in stable conditions, has the same energy. There are local discontinuities where some air is slightly warmer than other air and so it goes up but by and large its a stable system.

That said when you have a boundary layer between two areas with different thermal properties you get wind between them. If you like to go sailing as I do you will recognize this as 'lake effect' wind where the sun sets and the water dumps heat more slowly than the land, so you get an offshore breeze. Or in the morning when land heats up faster than the water and you get an onshore breeze. That occurs because there is a net energy differential between the two masses. There is no energy differential between higher altitude air and lower altitude air absent other weather effects (like water condensing from vapor to liquid or liquid to ice)
I am not looking to compete with younger people. I am mostly going to be in competition with people 35 years of age like me, who also have around 10 years of experience in the field.

There are lots of software developers that are doing very well at this age. No need to look at other areas of work for now. If the majority of 30-something software engineers can be competitive, so can I.

Right now I am going to tech meetups (at least 5 per year) and am talking to other people in the field. It feels like spinning my wheels, though. Using those connections to help fill in work in between jobs is going to be more of playing a "long game".

I didn't say anything about anything beyond the fact that that's the classic defence of trolling and it's a piss poor one. Cool that you looked at my karma tho, like it means something. I've been around the block more than a few times and am generally too busy to comment on hacker news.

Also, way to use the term virtue signalling to offhandedly dismiss anyone that thinks people should treat other people with some amount of respect.

Anyway, I hope you have a good day and that you treat others the way you would like to be treated.

Edit: and yeah, I pulled a few pranks when I was like 15. They were stupid and I grew out of it once I learned that my actions affected others.
In my experience on older machines, it's possible why it's happening on Unix based OS's and not Windows is because Unix based tend to get more out of your hardware than Windows and this sort of hardware instability shows more frequently.
My family spent 8+ hours in Atlanta airport, after getting up at 3AM in Kansas. We found an empty terminal with no scheduled flights for a few hours and had a decent nap.
Getting into the habit of always adding via `git add -p` is useful to stop this from happening.
Getting my Apple Watch actually forced me to go through and get rid of a bunch of useless notifications also from my Phone. I didn't notice them on the phone so much - it was really great to do that.

And I already had a relatively "clean" notifications list, it's easy to get a total barage from all sorts of crappy third party games that want to beg you to play once a day.

The only thing I am longing for now is that I am on-call 24x7 and need to get Phone Calls & Messages.. you can set Do-not-disturb while sleeping to allow phone calls (all or from contacts), but not messages. I'd like to disable all notifications at night except messages or even better yet could set a per-app preference. Main reason is that I have notifications I like for youtube uploads for example, but I don't want them at night time.. which is common because a lot of channels are USA time and I am Australia time.
Did the link change or something?
Imagine your neighbor Larry comes to your front door, with a sick and dying dog that's suffered abuse and malnourishment. He kindly offers it to you, telling you about its storied past as a beloved television character, as well as all the veterinary papers saying it's a sick, dying dog. Everything's above board. What do you do?

Yeah, Apache was stupid for accepting the dog. But it's also good to be pretty damn skeptical anytime Larry offers you anything.
> Why is it different now ?

Because it doesn't require hardware and it's incredibly accurate...
Anyone know if there is a good commonly used Chinese OAuth provider? Or Japanese and Korean for that matter?
The point is that the system should be fixed, not just "condemn" someone for abusing it. If it's legal to do something unconscionable then that legality should change.
Adobe Open Source
No, but they resented it horribly, and the first companies to abolish those plans taunted the others mercilessly in their ads -- think guys refusing to call their mom back until Friday night to save on minutes ...

Also, given how much people live on their phones these days, I doubt that congestion varies as much by time of day, as much as it just moves around from office district to suburban neighborhoods.

Tesla – Quarterly Report
I think you guys are falling victim to the same oversimplification implied by the article. That is, that you can boil the CEO's success-potential down to a handful of traits.

The article is interesting, and there probably is generally value in the traits outlined but, no discrete set of characteristics is deterministic. Not only are other personality factors involved, but it also depends on the product, team, etc. The lazy CEO might be perfect when paired with the workaholic CTO.

Or, as others have put it, it's complicated.
I meant the audio from when they deliver the opinion (they don't read the whole thing, but often discuss it a little).
Yes they might be profitable, but only because they have a captive market and they're squeezing the passengers to make that profit (literally ... legroom!).

Basically Airlines suck, they all pretty much do. Even the "better" ones such as JetBlue/Southwest still are only marginally less sucky.

When was the last time you purchased the "least suckiest" laptop? or which Tesla model is the least suckiest? You didn't, you bought something that you had a choice in and you were probably psyched to buy it! (which is not a feeling I ever had booking a flight).

Wait, wait, since when can you put the default assignment right there on the same line? Go ahead, say since always... I dare you.

Edit: Apparently this came in C# 6.0 (July, 2015). Ok, now I don't feel so bad. :-)

On a separate note, C# might not sexy or even that popular, but I really enjoy coding in it, and the continuing evolution of the syntax is a joy.
What she described reminded me of the people I knew while living in Seattle.

It was no surprise to me that it's where the author lives.

It's more of the tech community attitude there.

Conspiracy to commit crime is a crime in the US.
Cell service in the South Bay just generally sucks, and has for years -- lots of NIMBYism preventing construction of towers, coupled with some of the highest population density in the country, coupled with very high smartphone ownership and mobile usage.
Some truth to that. Then again, you see some who are serially successful.

That brings up another factor that is probably more important than luck: other people's belief that the CEO will be successful.
Parent said 'LA traffic sucks' and asserted all you'd need to fix it is 'good transit planning'. This doesn't sound likely, though I concede I've never been to Los Angeles, and do not know if all their intra-city transport problems are exclusively caused by poor transit planning.

Parent is also comparing intra-city transport of two different cities, despite TFA being about inter-city transport.

Ultimately trying to compare profoundly different cultures, economies, population numbers and densities, and public transport history & infrastructure, is always going to involve some amount of hand-waving and number-rounding -- I just think hyperbole like '10 x this, 10 x that' doesn't make for a stronger argument.
> I really wish people would let this whole supposed "AOO vs LO rivalry" thing go. At this point, I'm pretty sure the bulk of the AOO contributors don't see LO as a rival, and mostly don't care what LO does, so long as people affiliated with LO aren't running us down in public. The two projects will probably never re-merge, so it is what it is. They do their thing, AOO does its thing. Such is the way of things.

Given that most of the energy is with one project and not the other, and codebases have diverged so much that one can't accept patches from the other, why is it beneficial to have both? Who does OOo serve that LO doesn't? And why would a volunteer choose to work on OOo and not LO if they weren't on the OOo side of the fork to begin with?
