An interesting note from his comment:

"By 2006 many property markets across the U.S. were destined for a serious correction. Property prices had become unsustainable in an environment of stagnant household incomes, employment insecurity, diminished household savings and a heavy reliance on credit card debt to meet everyday expenses. Interest rates would have had to fall to near zero to keep the bubble from bursting."

Lo and behold, our interest rates are basically zero... Sounds like the bubble hasn't quite burst yet.

I agree, but I don't think this raises the hype over what we would've had after Tuesday anyway. If anything I think it slightly weakens what would have come from Tuesday.

Honestly I've never used an android phone for more than five minutes because I've never owned one.

But that's my impression from people I've talked to who use flagship devices. It wouldn't surprise me if the hundred dollar ones feel slow, but that's to be expected.

I mean I love my iPhone getting faster every time I buy a new one but generally my old one feels fine. It's not like I'm suffering from a slow phone.

From the first video:

> “Whether you respect the speed limit or not, your car will suffer from a speed bump regardless.”

Can anyone confirm this? I would assume the suspension can handle speed bumps fine at low speeds. That’s what it feels like from inside the car anyway.

Couldn’t it be argued that, as we approach a speed of 0 mph, there exists a speed at which no damage is done to the car whatsoever? And, if we place speed bumps accordingly, there is no need for this technology — particularly considering the difference in cost and maintenance?

Last year you got one of them for free in the box, for all we know they'll do that again this year.
Which can reduce damage of delicate loads, like ambulances. I expect it would reduce wear-and-tear on suspension of heavy vehicles too.
Josteink said it excellently, my addition is that React itself is a view library that lets you update DOM easily based on some data, and the data (and the logic behind it) can be and often are completely separated from React components themselves.
Finding instances is very easy because there's a registry and a helpful wizard linked off the main site https://joinmastodon.org/#getting-started You can specify what the minimum number of users you want on an instance, what topics you care about, and so on.

I actually think this is superior to Twitter model, because you can find an instance that fits your interests closely and not have to deal with the noise you don't care about.
Yeah, it's like a bumper sticker for the times. If it piques your interest, research further.
Speed bumps can be painful for those with back injuries (and likely other injuries). An elderly relative of mine would have to get out of vehicles at curbs or speed bumps and get back in the car on the other side. A smarter speed bump could presumably reduce this pain as long as one goes over the speed bump at a slow speed.
Funny you suggest market competition. In The Big Short movie, it's competition that the ratings agency rep played Melissa Leo cites to explain their corrupt ratings:

Georgia: If we don't give them the rating, they go to Moody's. Right down the street. If we don't work with them, they will go to our competitors. Not our fault. Simply the way the world works.

Vinnie: Holy shit.

Georgia: Yes, now you see. And I never said that.

Not everyone has a public git repository, let alone one that they commit to regularly. You're selecting for people that have tons of time outside of work and want to spend that time basically doing the same thing they get paid to do at work. Also, if they're writing for themselves, what makes you think that it would be production quality rather than just a collection of semiuseful hacks they want to be able to download occasionally?

> everyone was going to be talking about it on Tuesday anyway

I imagine I'll see a headline in the news on Tuesday, probably a HN thread, and maybe a 30% chance someone at work will mention that there's a new iphone coming out. The 10 minutes I spent reading this article are a fairly significant increase in total attention I'll give to the release.

"magical" :-)
> don't listen to anyone who thinks $20/month is 'prohibitively' expensive for anyone who runs a commercial website

I'm telling you from practical experience. I've helped several Indian and Pakistani restaurants in San Francisco register domain names, get hosting and then built their websites. These are the people that need a service like Little Warden, cos routinely an owner would call me and say "Hey my website is not accessible." or worse still "Someone stole my site." -- cos they let the card expire, or used some obscure AOL account or changed phones etc - and someone registered their expired domain. Restaurant owners are notoriously disorganized w.r.t. their digital / online presence.

I can also tell you from practical experience that these small business owners don't want to spend 20$ / month = 240$ / year for guarding their site, when the domain registration and hosting is far less than that.

At this pricing range, maybe Little Warden's target user-base is corporate / enterprise clients, the "5000 dollars is a rounding error" companies.
Ah, that's right. I just bought a handful of them and put one permanently on everything I use with my iPhone
Problem Solving Skills: my thinking process
Most companies operate on systems outside of their control. Windows, MacOS, mobile platforms, etc. Why limit it to discussions if that's a concern? If my company makes iOS applications, having to use MacOS and having to live with the possibility that everything that I type is being sent back to some server somewhere that way is just as bad, right?
You can't run until you walk.
It's cool to see how the platform is being leveraged for this event.

I tried to check it out myself but Snapchat was bugging out and getting a bit laggy so it was hard to really view.
As another user said, please make the URLs links.
Yes, but normal iOS betas have everything related to unannounced products stripped out first. So you can't actually find anything about the new iPhone. The best you can do is look at the APIs that they already told you about in WWDC and try to intuit where they might be going.

This wasn't supposed to get out to people until after the products have been announced and thus no more secrecy was needed.
> Can someone enlighten me on why we need a smarter speed bump?

So that there is only a "bump" if you're above the limit, that would be less annoying (and potentially damaging for low-clearance cars) for people who follow the rules.
> Not knocking your comment or anything, just fairly sure religious texts didn't say 'thou shall not induce artificial stem cell growth'

Well many religious texts disallow altering your body in any way - Jehovas Witnesses, for example, even prohibit blood transfusions, and in Islam it's haram (a sin) to have tattoos.

Pretty certain this would also prohibit doing experimental stuff with stem cells.
Perhaps it's just a different target audience. People who want to follow celebrities and and brands are certainly better off on Twitter. However, if my main interest is in interacting with individuals this isn't a problem at all.

I met a bunch of people on Mastodon whom I find interesting, and I have conversations with. There's no need for me to verify their identity because I'm enjoying the interactions I have with them.

This is really how internet was originally envisioned to work. You don't need to know anything about the person on the other end, the interaction itself is what's valuable.
> Well the .2 "Ask the interviewee for a git repository" can be a private repository.

If someone shares a private git repo, they should not be hired, and in fact should be fired from their current job, and possibly sued. (Think Anthony Levandowski sharing Google lidar designs as an example of his work with Uber.)

This isn't promoting trust. This is a violation of trust.
I wouldn't say that the use of language in writing is a superficial thing to focus on. The language is the medium through which the author expresses whatever information they're trying to convey. It's always going to be one of the top two things to focus on when critiquing a work of fiction.

All interpersonal communication in any medium is semantically lossy- language is an intermediary through which you are attempting to encode a concept or story or feeling, so that someone else can decode your words into a similar concept/story/feeling whatever inside their own head. Language is the middleman, and an author's skill with language imposes a ceiling on how well they can transfer their ideas to other people.

In the case of fiction, language serves double duty as an art form in and of itself. Both the medium and the message are components of a creative work. Otherwise, every novel would be nothing more than outlines of plots describing sequences of imaginary events, which would be pointless.

I would also disagree with the characterization of /r/iamverysmart- in principle at least, it isn't there for shunning people trying to sound literate. It's for teasing people (usually teenagers or college undergrads going through a phase) who have started to learn interesting things about the world, who are very impressed with their own knowledge, and are expressing ignorance and narcissism rather than the 10-megaton knowledge bombs that they think they're carpet bombing everyone with. Not that I'm in favor of shunning anyone who isn't harming others- it's too mean-spirited and easy to abuse.
I stand corrected about real linker behavior :) In fact merging all RW sections into one big segment with .bss at the end makes perfect sense.

My point was essentially that for ELF this is not some kind of kludgeish special case for .bdd, but general feature that any segment can be zero extended to arbitrary size larger than what is contained in the executable image (although on sane platforms it is not useful for anything but .bss)
The parent didn't call you a concern troll, though. They said "this is some top-level concern trolling". Criticizing behaviour is not the same thing as name calling or personal swipes.
The natural time period of evolution is the generation; meaningful change must occur over that sort of period, or it is not going to happen at all. Evolution is going on all the time; it's just the major effects, such as the establishment of a new family, that usually takes a long time (I say 'establishment' over 'emergence', as talking about the time for emergence runs into the sorites (you have to draw a line somewhere) problem.)

Nepotism can be your friend. Meet people through meetups, open source projects, conferences, non-profit volunteer work, etc. When people know and respect you already and you have an internal champion, the interview process often is much smoother. You'll be more confortable too when you know them. You might even bypass some of the process as well.

Speaking to a founder to a competing company (https://www.edeva.se/en/) I found out that there has been many attempts at solving the problems of speed bumps:

- Everybody gets bumped, not only high speed vehicles
- Emergency vehicles need to slow down
- Bus drivers and others can get back problems from speed bumps

Most solutions break down because the forces and the wear and tear is so tremendous. The solution from Edeva seemed clever to me because the swing a trap door down so the bump comes from the solid ground and not from a moving part.

I'm curious how this liquid solution handles emergency vehicles and the wear+tear. A mechanical solution is good but very expensive. A liquid solution seems like it could be made cheaper.
I agree, the article is highly misleading because it leaves this out and tries to take the lenders off the hook.

>Nobody was predicting a Great Recession.

But Econ 101 says there will always be a recession at some point. Once prices started skyrocketing far above the historically-sustainable levels, the lenders knew they were going to crash at some point, and so they should have cut back on lending.

They didn't because they had used securitization to lay their risk off on suckers around the world. And that in turn made the recession far worse than it would have been otherwise.
Can you find a nearby hiring manager—someone who hires regularly—to give you an interview and tell you why you wouldn’t be hired?

The casual nature with which you dismiss thousands of people who have devoted their lives to the pursuit of academic knowledge is frustrating and incredibly childish.

Like seriously? Do you think all of us PhDs just sit around and laugh about how dumb the government is while planning how we can make more useless papers? Do you think grad students just train to become better bullshitters? Like what kind of hole do you live in where any of that even appears close to reality.

Seems to me you just tried reading a couple papers, got confused, and decided to justify your own intelligence by claiming their hard work and advancements in the field were pointless.

> but they don't actually need (nor often want) to produce any result

Stop talking out of your rear end. I want to produce a result. My advisor wants to produce a result. We all want to have meaning in our lives.

EDIT: As just a casual example of the importance of academia, look at the Deep Learning boom. First researched around 1960, only now becoming practical and useful. It's almost as if the things academics study need time and a lot of work to actually come to fruition. Research level study is highly expensive for very little real gains. This has always been the case. It takes a long-long time for the investments into research to make sense, but when they do, the advancements are completely game-changing.
That's more ok for a smaller outfit, but now that Google is abusing their monopolistic market position it's not as ok.

I don't have a direct answer for you. I can try to shine some light on it. I'm retired but worked in a related field. As such, I was expected to keep up with tech such as this and to be able to model the results of this - I modeled traffic at a fine level, ideally.

Since retiring, I've kept my interests up and have paid even more attention to the coming tech. I signed a non-compete, but I still have my interests.

This is the first I've heard of it. I've never heard of it and know of no usage in the industry. And yes, even parking garages sometimes get modeled during the design phase.

So, make of that what you will. I've not only not heard of this product, I've not even heard of this technology being proposed. This may mean that I just missed it.

All that's required to get 10 years of experience is the ability to get your foot in the door and not do so badly that they actually fire you. It is absolutely not a guarantee of any real competence.

At my last job I did a bunch of interviewing, and the very worst candidates we had were engineers with years of experience working at badly run companies. If management is bad enough, a company can't hold on to good engineers. As a result, they end up with just the engineers who can't go elsewhere. Since these companies are filled with bad engineers, there's no culture of learning, and an engineer who isn't really motivated can go years learning basically nothing.

Experience is great, but it's totally possible to go a decade without learning much.
The desire for a 'good candidate' and the paranoia about making a mistake is sounding increasingly utopian. There is a certain nervousness and even a hint of hysteria about it.

A bad hire is not the end of the world, and is easily corrected and one can't help feeling there is some magnification going on somewhere about hiring mistakes. There is near constant evaluation and feedback loops in most organizations. A 'bad hire' simply won't survive this.

No ones hires a person not suited to the job in terms of technical requirements, that's a given, but there are other things at play to make the final decision, that are less easily obvious in the interview process so mistakes will be made. Better to make them and move on rather than manufacture this increasing hysterical narrative about the 'perfect hire'.
Knowledge@Wharton: Because of the way the economy was going back then, people were feeling much better, there was more money, jobs were better, salaries were better. So people had that money to basically throw around.

Ferreira: It’s like today. If you ask me today who is getting more loans, riskier borrowers or the middle class, [it’s] the middle class that sees a market that’s stable, that had jobs for the past five, six years, people that were able to save for their down payment — they are the ones getting earlier into this market.

True, and I agree that people doing these illegal grows in public land and threatening people are acting immorally. Like the other commenter said though, the framework is not there for legal marijuana production, it just removes one of the layers of illegality
Right. Fortunately, the offshoot instances are easy to find.

But even if they weren't, the extremely active main instances are enough to show the platform isn't a barren wasteland. And the difficulty of finding offshoot instances with lower amounts of participation is a different category of problem, however real, from the platform itself not having people.
I think that that is exactly the reason why this will not get used. Many speedbumps are actually designed in a way that they are imperceptible when you go sufficiently fast (80km/h is usual)

I have to disagree with this trend of having people write code on a computer instead of a whiteboard. Sure, it mimics the real world, but in practice you spend a bunch of time dealing with crap about syntax errors, and argument order mismatch instead of dealing with the actual underlying algorithm. Even worse, you may end up with a candidate that realizes that there's probably a library that would be really useful for this, but then has to spend time googling for the name of the library, then installing it, and then desperately skimming for a quick start in documentation because the question isn't, "Can you work google and run pip install?", but rather some other task. So now you've probably lost 15 minutes just dealing with that shit.

If you're going to do this, it simply doesn't work in a 40 minute setup without some sort of provided scaffolding and test cases.

> And a big fuck you to everybody that has made efforts and sacrifices to improve their credit rating, they can take the same (higher) interest rate as everyone else?

If it becomes harder to get credit then there will be less inflation (or allow the same amount of it to be caused by government printing money instead, which allows lower taxes), either of which means less need for credit to begin with. Moreover, less need for credit means less credit fraud, the cost of which is paid by everyone.

The concept that credit is a good thing is perpetuated by creditors. Credit is a competitive advantage when you're the only one who has it, but when everyone has it it's just an arms race. It's better for everyone (except creditors) for everyone to have less of it.
