FYI OP posted alongside you in their own words. What I got from it is "No shit Harvard is better than UPhoenix South Campus" but if we came up with a good way to measure skills and learning capacity independent of rote programming quizzes/etc., hiring from a lower tier school would be less risky.

I know someone who dropped out and is now making plenty of money at a software development gig. I also know CS grads who can't think about anything outside their little realm to save their lives. Point is: some schools legit don't filter well for learning capacity.
Sure, it could. But again its competition is cheap camera hardware that can be had for a few bucks and that outperforms the human eyeballs that we know are safe enough to drive cars on real roads.

I don't doubt that LIDAR can work with some development. I'm just shocked that it seems to be the default position in the industry and want someone to explain this to me in a way that makes sense.
Crazy article. If I was the FBI, I'd keep an eye on the people in this industry. Seems like the ideal job for a serial killer. Get to work with dead bodies, and can probably mix in a few 'extra' parts without anyone knowing.
Does anyone know why Saudi Arabia does not have a big space program? Seems like more reasonable way to spend exorbitant amounts of money than building paradise cities in the middle of a desert.
Large, too comfortable desks do not work for me well. Instead I prefer to use a smallish desks that impose limitations on available space. In this way, I get in the zone.

I also tend to care about my customers more when I bound to some physical restrictions. In simple words, I become more empathetic to other people's ups and downs when I feel the pain of this world. Even when such limitations are artificially imposed on my working environment.

For me personally, it makes a huge difference. I recently installed a 600mm deep worktop in my office, lasted maybe 2 months before I ripped it out and replaced with a 900mm deep desk - much better, more breathing space and I can spread out over paper or just get some space around my monitor. On my PhD I managed to one of the few corner desks and guarded that thing with my life.

I assume it dates back to when I was studying for A-levels (UK school exams 16-18 years old). I would do all of my evening's prep (UK boarding school name for homework) on the largest table in the old library, I'd set up a sort of defensive wall of papers and folders that took up a 1-2 meter radius from me and sometimes more if I was working on a particularly large mind map. People soon got the idea and, since the school wasn't lacking for places to work, no one seemed to mind me bunking down for 2.5 hours (yes, we had enforced prep in silence from 7-9:30pm) every weekday evening and giving me all the space I needed.

Enjoy your new desk!

I know it feels like prissy micromanaging when your title is changed, but what you're really asking here is for us not to do our job. Having titles be neutral and (to use pg's original word) bookish is one of HN's key features and a far bigger deal than it might seem. If we didn't maintain that, HN would go to seed.

There are important principles behind everything we do with titles. In this case the principle is that HN works better when the focus is on content over personalities, so we edit out most author names and/or celebrity names in titles. This has been consistent for a long time:

This is one reason why I think they need to push the home-growing aspect more. If they can get people introduced to the taste and concept, and it becomes some trendy thing like quinoa, the market for farmers explodes.
I didn't say contamination is specific to HFCS, but any large-scale low-cost process is prone to contamination. There was another point that the fructose part in HFCS is less stable than in table sugar, and affects the gut worse in some ways.
Great tutorial! It makes everything look so simple. Love it!
Where does GP advocate for this? As I read it, he is saying that there are some potential bad hires from lower tier schools that should be avoided. I don't think this involves 5 schools or GP's hiring history.

That would be ca. 30 minutes cycling one direction, then another 20 minutes to the train station where I need to catch my train. 50% of the route on country roads where overtaking trucks are great funs. With a lot of rainy days from October till April and a few days of snow in winter months.

So no, I did not consider biking with a second seat. It is completely unrealistic.
I am more at home in FF so this might not be true for Chrome... Just look at the simplicity and elegance of Firebug net panel (https://2r4s9p1yi1fa2jd7j43zph8r-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/fil...). I love Mozilla and respect them immensely, but any change they made to Firebug was for the worse. If they just copied the functionalities and design the result would be much better. I am very sorry I had to stop using Firebug. RIP!

Speech synthesis is in a similar situation. The FOSS options that I know of are completely primitive compared to their proprietary counterparts, particularly those locked away behind the cloud. Unfortunately this area seems to receive much less attention than speech recognition (AFAIK it's a non-goal of the Mozilla project, for example).
I have been using this: https://github.com/andrecp/flask-restplus-sqlalchemy-locust with success.
"Speech Recognition" is an accepted term of art for "speech to text" or "transcription." "Speech Understanding" is a related but different problem.

It's cheap housing in the sense of price seen by the consumer due to scarcity. Housing in rural areas actually costs significantly more to produce and maintain in real economic terms.

The solution to high San Francisco housing costs is high density development in exurbs and other cities, and very much not "let's all move to Nebraska".
Not much info in this particular message, but I wonder if this could be used with GPG to send and receive encrypted emails.

When I was at Google, I was asked if I wanted to make a recruiting trip to my alma mater. I was excited until I found out they were talking about my grad school where I got my MS, and not UB, a large state school where I got my BS. I told them I'd be happy to take a trip to recruit at UB. I got mostly crickets back from that reply. However, I ended up getting signed up for a series where they had a panel of a few HR (sorry, "people ops") folks and a SWE or two talking over Google Hangouts to auditoriums full of kids at FIVE different schools which they called "Long Tail". (and UB wasn't even one of them)

I think they are missing an incredible amount of talent this way. In my circle of friends, there were 3-4 other people that Google would have been lucky to have, and two of them were women They just don't understand that some people like me, who can get into the (mostly private) elite schools choose to go to a "long tail" school for a variety of reasons (financial, family obligations, etc). There are lots of similar schools all over the country.

Call it Kinakuta, untangle it from religion and misogyny, have more universities than mega-malls, and setup a democracy.

"“Perhaps I can make an analogy to Go—though chess would work just as well. Because of our history, we Kinakutans are well-versed in both games. At the beginning of the game, the pieces are arranged in a pattern that is simple and easy to understand. But the game evolves. The players make small decisions, one turn at a time, each decision fairly simple in and of itself, and made for reasons that can be easily understood, even by a novice. But over the course of many such turns, the pattern develops such great complexity that only the finest minds—or the finest computers—can comprehend it.” The sultan is gazing down thoughtfully at the Go board as he says this. He looks up and starts making eye contact around the room. “The analogy is clear. Our policies concerning free speech, telecommunications, and cryptography have evolved from a series of simple, rational decisions. But they are today so complex that no one can understand them, even in one single country, to say nothing of all countries taken together.”" - Neal Stephenson, Cryptonomicon.

I wonder, how "well" did previous generations do?

The bar has been moved so far, so quickly, that it's hard (for me) to say. I would venture that folks in rural America are living better than they ever have. I see truly destitute people, too...I live in one of the poorer counties of one of the poorer states in the USA. But people aren't starving, and depending how far back you go, that was a reality people would have to face.

Point is, we're now comparing rural incomes to city incomes, and thinking "well the farmer is busting his ass with a lot of risk to make 45k, and the baby-faced web dev in the city can make 90k twiddling his fingers." Sure, but they're both...okay. I'm not sure we have to make them equal. I'm not sure we can.
I think about it this way: a bad desk setup certainly won't help you. Since, relative to all other expenses, a good desk setup is not too expensive, why not choose a good one?

Im sorry, but this is where you need to check your own biases at the door.

For example, your statement "A company like Apple has little use for someone who has only ever worked on IT-focused Java development.".

Actually, Apple has a need for people like these. Their whole web/it/retail infrastructure is a Java backend ( i believe webobjects moved to Java, then was deprecated as an outside project, but kept for internal use, my knowledge is dated on this). Take a look at their jobs site[1]

Now my point wasn't about apple and java. But our own biases that we bring, at every level. We all have biases, but most direct way to effect biases in hiring, is to close your pool down. You need a really wide opening at the beginning of your sourcing funnel to have diversity ( and i mean diversity at every level ).

I work at one of the "big 4" and went to an ivy, but guess what, some of the smartest people I have ever met, had to go to schools based on what their parents could afford. Thats a HUGE selection bias.

So yes, widen your funnel, and recognize your biases ( that we all have, and that basically boil down to having less knowledge ).

Even a dictator still rules at the whim of the people charged with implementing their rules. Sometimes it’s impossible to get the power structure below you to change, even when you can order executions, because the incentives are broken and will keep installing people with desires contrary to your own.

The point here, then, might be to build an “insulated” city with a more direct power structure, without the involvement of consolidated power-bases like ministries or civic departments. Immigration to the new zone could be filtered to only allow in people that believe more in the lawful rule of the sovereign themselves (maybe with something like a democratically-elected governor in between) than the rule of government as a whole; and then, eventually, a military et al could be raised from that power-base to convert the rest of the country to the “new” model.
Checksums do not provide "self-healing". Ever.

They can only tell you if a piece of data is wrong or not.

In the case of BTRFS it's less a case of self-healing, the data is not healed, rather that metadata is replicated across the disk.

I believe ZFS does the same but I'm not sure of this. I'm certain that ZFS does this if it has several disks to replicate from.

I'm not aware of APFS being self-healing on a single disk.

In our system, it becomes challenging to find the start of the next line when reading long lines of text. This is pretty much the main reason why sheets of paper or modern webpages are only as wide as they are.
Right, I agree with you. From the tone of the post, it seemed like the author was justifying the GDP calculation as it's made. Perhaps there was some sarcasm there I didn't detect. But yeah, if we want to count the cost of services produced for, say, digging a giant hole and then subsequently filling in said hole, we may want to rethink our logic. I'm becoming disillusioned with the idea of economics being a valid human science when it can't seem to deal properly with the concept of externalities.

Julia seems ideal in some ways, as performance can be quite close to C / C++ / Fortran, while the code is more high-level. I don't care about GUIs, distribution, teamwork or maintenance.

Julia seems promising, and there are some nice usage stories already:

https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents...

I am quite proficient with JVM-based stacks (Java, Scala & Clojure). But the level of performance, especially in terms of memory usage, cannot come anywhere close to C++.
A large chunk of our company relocated to Raleigh, NC - so we also moved our HQ here.

They literally did a spreadsheet with different metrics they were looking for (business environment, they knew there were only some weather conditions they'd be willing to go for, looked into schools & safety for their young kids, taxes, house prices etc) graded and analyzed that data (we're an analytics consultancy so if you think about it, it makes sense :) ).

After narrowing down to 2 or 3 locations, they ended up with Raleigh. About 4 (including the first two co-founders) moved here initially, together with their families (wife & 4 kids each). Few months later others joined the team here as well, families included. We still have some collages working from Bay Area and we support them, but most of the team is here now.

Depends on what your comparing it to. Northern VA has a mix of jobs and houses so it's possible to have a very short commute. It's easy to find an nice apartment around 1500$ / month just about anywhere which is not cheap, but not so crazy as NYC or SV.

A dual income professional family can generally afford a 4 bedroom home, but that's hard on a single income without a massive down payment or over sized salary.

In terms of living further out, it's frequent for people to telecommute 1-3 days a week which makes a huge difference.

Google Photos is pretty close.

"photos from december" works fine. "Find photos from decemeber" doesn't.

I can type in "effects photos" and find photos Google applied effects to, which is pretty nifty.

It is probably equivalent to the old game parsers in intelligence, but for a given domain it works pretty well.

They could stand to filter out a lot more words, but it works OK in general. If I type in "photos with a blue sky" it knows to drop "photos with a", photos presumably being redundant on photos.google.com!

> WHAT IS THE NATURE OF THE JUDICIAL AND REGUL ATORY FRAMEWORK THAT WILL GOVERN ALL CIVIL AND COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS IN NEOM?

> NEOM will be the world’s first independent special zone spanning three countries, with a regulatory framework designed to adopt world-class investment laws that
support the livelihoods of residents and the development of targeted economic sectors. The special zone will also adopt an autonomous judicial system subject to independent regulations and legislation, which will be drafted by investors in accordance with international best practice. The zone will be independent of the Kingdom’s existing governmental framework, excluding sovereign laws. Social
norms in Neom will adopt leading practices to improve standards of livability for its
residents and visitors.

and clarifying 'independent systems' a little later:

> The project will be developed within a specialized zone, independent of the Kingdom’s existing governmental framework, excluding sovereign laws, in regards to taxation, customs, labor laws, and other legal parameters pertaining to business. As such, a zone within an independent system gives industry the ability to manufacture and provide, goods and services at globally competitive prices

So it sounds like they at least want to shed the more regressive parts of the traditional Islamic culture in Saudi Arabia to bring in international visitors who are reticent to visit or invest in Saudi Arabia because of the way the laws treat women/homosexuals/etc.
They said that there 100 bad hires for every good hire while by omission claiming that every Stanford hire is a good hire... But also that you should definitely be hiring talent 'on it's own merit'.
