Good nutrition actually increases the heritability of traits. For example height is roughly 80% heritable in first-world countries but only 60% heritable in third-world countries. Why? Because reducing deleterious environmental effects like malnutrition, neglect, and so on actually increases the relative contribution of genetic factors.

Nah, because I'm going to put my self-interest first. Just like Google is. So I should naturally oppose this as a developer. I benefit from a low supply of people with my skill set. Do you think google cares about "efficient allocation of resources for the wide society?" Tech companies embody the complete opposite of that mindset. The tech firms most in this forum work at bring in billions, but only require a few thousand workers. And most of the cash ends up overseas, doing nothing. It's not an efficient allocation of capital at all.
WD has limited R&D money. If your investment isn't going to pay out because SSDs surpass HDDs in GB/$, then you've just wasted a big up front investment (and opportunity you could have been investing in for SSD). The grandparent comment is hypothesizing that SSDs may surpass HDDs on GB/$ before the HDD R&D pays off.
And implied that US workers aren't on par with the rest of the world, therefore it will help them get better _in the future_ but meanwhile, while the next generation of tech-savvy US workers appear they will need skilled foreigners working at google for at least the next 10 years.
If my predictions are correct, seems a good time to apply for Google at this moment.
As much as something like this is appreciated, the history of job retraining programs are filled with over promises, under-commitments, and disaster, stretching back to the 1970’s.

There is no need to train more CS people. There is a need
for recovering the “grand bargain” between employers and employees that began in the 1940’s and was slowly unwound beginning in the mid 1970’s.

The reason that business schools exist on university campuses in the first place is because they were supposed to train business leaders to aspire to the same ideals as a university: knowledge, development of character, the search for truth to create a better word, etc.

If people knew how much harder they work today for fractions of a chance at a reward that is now 3x expensive, gestures like this would be seen for what they are, a band-aid in place of a tourniquet.

BTW if you’re upper-middle class, know life is now pretty good, but your economic base is being slowly eroded as well and there will be a time when your economic fall will come.

EDIT: Keep in mind, this is the same company whose head of HR (Laszlo Bock) literally says he does not believe training helps at all develop people. This sounds like I am taking him out of context but I kid you not. I wish I was at home so I could find the physical page numbers, but he says it in his book “Work Rules!” from a couple of years ago. It’s at the beginning of the chapter where he talks about the New York Yankees.

I'll echo some of the other commentors here on accents. I grew up in the East Bay of SF and we have SAE, an Okie accent from our dustbowl migrant forefathers, and a valley-girl/surfer twang too. I speak SAE in mixed company, the Okie with older relatives, the 'surfer' accent with close friends and family of my generation, and SAE when nieces, nephews and other children are around during holidays. We would prefer the next generation either develop their own accents or forget ours. I would not dare use anything but SAE with co-workers, bosses, or customers around. As many transplants to the Bay are on HN, it may surprise you that the people that grew up around you, even in SF Bay, have accents they do not share with you around. What is more interesting is the lexigraphic and accented differences between places like SF, the south Bay, Napa, and even Sacramento. It's not easy, but within a few minutes, I think I can still place the speaker from one of those location, though with the younger generation I may just be BSing.

The issue is that I am responsible for people using this data, but don’t own it like you mentioned. If the banks were responsible for giving out fraudulent loans and there was an easier way to prove that they were fradualent without this PI, then I wouldn’t care. But I have to care right now.
Nah, the Dunning-Kruger thing applies equally well to Tesla and SpaceX. He had no experience in either field before starting those companies. It's just that he has, in spite of all probability, succeeded and so you see them in a different light.
Hardly, especially if they execute aggressively on the "grow future client businesses" bit.

I'll admit that part of my suspicion is rooted in self-interest, but if demand for my labor grows faster than other people can supply it I'll still win out (along with many others).
Those are not issues when you have thousands of employees at a location, then you can base entire products there. There is plenty of people in Europe who would love to work for Google but there are so few positions here that it is almost impossible to get one unless you want to move to the US, it wouldn't be hard for Google to get ten times as many engineers here as they currently have if they just wanted to.

The solution to lower wages created by more workers isn't to clamp down on the supply. The solution is to unionize and to ensure that labor has leverage through collective bargaining. Trying to play gatekeeper against bringing in more workers seems as wrongheaded as arguing against building more homes in a housing crisis.
Toutiao is now focused on video as it is increasingly becoming more important (more supply of video content and more consumption as well). Outside of Chinese language centric markets they have an investment in India (which they have announced publicly).

You'd think that, but then you'd remember that if the population isn't making money capitalism doesn't work. People need money to buy things. The big picture is that labor is being defeated everywhere and money is accruing at the top. The whole system will break down if something isn't done.

The Future Role of Product Management
This has nothing to do with punishment. This is the result of a broken system. Most fortune 500 companies pay the ransomware price and the public is never aware of any breach. The idea of storing information on a connected network is the problem. We need to return to the brick and mortar way of storing data, i.e. Tightly guarded central facilities. Nobody should be able to steal 148 million accounts with the click of a button.
This is great, but it doesn't go far enough.

Obviously more studios need to sign-on, and then we need to add TV shows into the mix at all. (HBO, for example)

Studios that are signed on should be committed to putting their entire library on it.

For example: despite Disney having signed on, Disney Channel movies like "Halloweentown" are not part of Movies Anywhere.

As a parent, the fact that children's movies aren't part of these lockers (like Elena of Avalor, like Disney Channel original movies, etc.) is the bane of my existence.
This particular site looks like it might not have been touched for a decade or more.

So there is also the argument of "any engineers at all" vs "better engineers".
> Regenerative cooling in rocketry is running propellant through channels in the nozzle, then either dumping it overboard, using it to power a gas generator, or burning it in the rocket

"Regenerative cooling" is a rocket term. It came to mind because I used to be an aerospace engineer. There's no requirement in the definition of regenerative cooling for the coolant to be dumped.

> Presumably active cooling of a hyperloop tube would use a closed refrigerant cycle

I don't think one can just presume that. You've already got lots of pumps for pumping air. Given (a) the seal on the tube will be periodically broken (for entry, exit and maintenance) and (b) a safety factor, you'll have more pump capacity than you'll need. Filtering and then compressing atmosphere, running it through a heat exchanger, and then letting it expand through the cooling channels before dumping it doesn't seem obviously worse than having kilometers of refrigerant running around.

> which has little to do with regenerative cooling, besides the idea of cooling channels

See above. Also, I assumed if you did this you'd use it to boost SpaceX's nozzles' economies of scale.
It seems like the more IT workers we have the more IT workers we need. When I started in IT, a starting programmer made about the top scale of a teacher. Now a starting programmer makes about 175% of a top scale teacher. At least in the Mid-West.

I used to use this a lot, back in the bad old days, when drive space was at a premium.

These days I struggle to fill my hard drives no matter how wasteful I am with downloading videos and not bothering to clean up afterwards... and the amount of hard drive space you can buy per dollar keeps growing faster than I can fill my disks.

Much trickier issues to tackle are speed (unless you go with SSD's, but then you run in to space issues again, and reliability issues), backups, and data integrity. All of these issues are made much harder by the sheer amounts of data we're storing these days. Executables usually account for only a relatively small fraction of that space.

I want to state upfront that I 100% agree with everything you are saying about the problems, limitations, etc. of these people.

My question though is--what suggestions do you have for solving this? We shouldn't prop up dying suburbs. We don't have universal basic income yet (not that that would solve for all such cases), and there don't really seem to be a whole lot of options.

If I imagine myself in such a desperate situation, I feel like my only options would be to stay there while things stagnate, watching things get worse and worse while trying to scrimp and save my way to something that would let me take a gamble and move, or just pack up a few things, yard sale anything I could, buy a bus ticket, and gamble on being homeless somewhere with better opportunities. And that's if I wasn't elderly/disabled/otherwise incapable of doing this.

The only larger solutions I potentially see are policy changes for social safety nets with these situations, which frankly, are going to be damn near impossible to get passed given the current government, and also the fact that a huge chunk of these places are in red states that would never do anything at the state level for these folks.

Again, not disagreeing with anything you say, but is there actually a potential solution beyond "let these people and places fade away" like so many people have in humanity's past?

CNS from the article, " clean numerical simulation" enabled them to find 243 more than what the computational power was capable of finding with a lossy representation of periodicity. In other words, the strength of the machine using old-style algorithms for detection would have gotten 357+ solutions, and their use of CNS which cleans up the math a lot for the supercomputer helped them find an additional 243 that would have slipped through the cracks.

This is a billion dollars going to nonprofits to help people level up their skills.

While Google should benefit indirectly from this, their investment will also help countless other enterprises and individuals.

> It is unfair for them to not allow you to bill for the 3+ hour ramp up time.

This is just one case of many (where I loose hours/money), but to elaborate; say I get a ticket for 2 hours, "Just add a delete button for an order item on a form". Sounds sane, and I even agree that it should only take 2 hours. But of course once you get into the code you find some snags. After two hours of digging through the code you realize why the delete button was never added in the first place (was not a simple task).

But either way, I just spent 2 hours reading code, and still have another 2-3 hours of coding left to do. Might take a break at that point and collect my thoughts, get something to eat, might get side tracked then and not get back to actually working for another hour or 2. Then code up the feature. So that's 7 hours+ right there. Then I bill 2 or 3 hours for that, but it took all day.

Boss is normally understanding of going a little bit over (though not really for going 150% over). But really the end customer that pays for the work is worse to deal with. Half the time if they think something (even if it is a "fix") is going to take longer than a couple of hours, they just won't bother with authorizing the work. Then we end up with a big wart in the code base that we have to work around constantly (which in many cases, refusing to pay for an 8 hour fix has caused 100's of hours of other issues.. but another issue)

So I guess I feel guilty about working 7 hours on a 2 hour ticket when I know the end customer will just throw a fit. I guess I should just start billing for those hours in this case. But it feels like it is my fault. If I could just remember the internals of the code base, I wouldn't have had to spend two hours just reading code. Seems reasonable.. but maybe not.
What criteria determines who should get a position then? What salary should those positions command? Sounds pretty handwavy.

Edit: responders to this comment seem to miss that the parent comment is suggesting Google hire new individuals and train them, not find talent in their workforce and do training there.

There's plenty of people in Europe that work in Google's European offices. When I left in 2014, Zürich was something like 1500 people, with London and IIRC Paris having similar sizes, and many other smaller ones. That's hardly "so few positions", let alone "almost impossible to get one".

Also, time zone differences (and to a lesser extent communications) were inconvenient, although there were very viable ways to work around them.
