> "Which is, literally, delegation."

Not quite. In the example given by GP, the idea was that understanding what 50 people were going through was not possible. However, it is possible for upper management to build an understanding of what people are going through if line managers are doing their job.

Imagine a company structure where you have 10 teams with direct line managers, where each of the line managers has 9 people in their team. Next, imagine that there are 3 senior managers who the 10 line managers report into. Lastly, there is one CEO that the 3 senior managers report into. In total, excluding the CEO, there are 103 employees. How does the CEO get to understand the operational challenges involving 103 employees? It's simple, the line managers summarise the challenges in their team, the senior managers prioritise which of the challenges to discuss with the CEO. Even if the CEO is hands off in the whole process, it's still possible to understand the difficulties being faced by 103 employees, as not all of those 103 employees will face difficulties that senior management need to get involved in, and when they do each of the managers involved in the communication between the team members and the CEO has an understanding of the details, so can answer questions that the CEO has. Therefore, a manager in charge of 50 or more people can understand the operational challenges faced by those people. From the article...

"For two years I worked on a project, and when it finally shipped, I can remember our VP talking about the launch. I had never had much exposure to him (I was new, a grad straight out of school), but I remember his speech about the launch clearly. He talked about some of the key features and mentioned a few of the people involved.

At the time, I had the impression he was out of touch; the people he recognized weren't the ones who had contributed the most code, and the features he called out were important but not the ones that had been the major engineering challenges. I can remember thinking, "How can he not know what is going on in his team?"."

Would you agree that it's possible for a VP to have better information (assuming the people reporting into him are doing their job properly)? Would you agree that they're likely to be a more effective VP if they did?

How so?
In the high-end gamers do care very much about power consumption and especially cooling.
Even in the mid-range it's something that can sway the buying decision from AMD to Nvidia, especially when the higher power consumption doesn't come with a performance lead.

With cryptominers I'm not sure they are actually "voting" for anything, to me it rather looks like they are buying up pretty much all the decent mid to high range cards in bulk, regardless of brand, it's more about availability.
I'm a bit wary of articles making no distinction between management and leadership.
I discovered this myself, creating boilers is underrated.

Author / OP here. athena started as a pet project for my personal blog; in the process I thought of releasing it publicly as well. I simply like Tufte CSS. athena's a great playground to experiment with ET's ideas and SSGs while incorporating my personal Pandoc (academic and casual) publishing workflow. My main goal was to create one workflow to write plain text docs and be able to publish to PDF via LaTeX (Tufte layout or not,) HTML (same,) slides, letters, &c without (or with minimal) changes in document structure. In any way, you're more than welcome to pull request a new, non-Tufte CSS layout.
There was a very good Louis Theroux doco (Dark States) set in Huntington, West Virginia a couple of weeks ago about the opiod epidemic.

It really hit hard with me for some reason, despite never having first hand contact with anyone with this sort of addiction. In particular, a man who was apparently a pentester before having some sort of accident and becoming addicted to prescribed opoids before transitioning onto illegal drugs. It just felt like something that could hit anyone, and not just the standard "junkie" problem.
> Not rich? Work smarter - you probably have a much better perspective on what the masses need / use than a rich person does. Convince a money man to invest in your ideas.

So how many people have the cognitive abilities or the educational background to 'work smarter"? Looking down from the ivory tower telling the factory worker or the sales assistant to "work smarter" to "get rich" is a nasty mix of ignorance and arrogance. For mosylt people the only option to keep their head above the water is to work harder.

> Rent is too high? Consider the chances your SV startup will make you a millionaire are near 0. You may want to live elsewhere.

Yeah, everyone can move whenever they want. Who cares about family, friends and maybe the job you like. The rent is higher now, so just move where you and people like you belong.

> Don't like your elected officials? Tough shit, 50% of the country does or doesn't.

Bullshit. While there are countries that run some perverted version of democracy, most developed countries are pretty good building governments with way higher approvals.

> Your boss or management sucks? Chances are they think you suck too. Find a new job you enjoy and are appreciated. Work culture is like dating and not everybody is compatible.

Yeah, with a job market like the current one you, the employee, have all the power. /s A LOT of people are happy to have a job and just quitting because their boss is a dick? Not gonna happen because not possible.

> Nature and the universe aren't fair. Don't expect anything to be given to you.

And that's why we give money to the elderly and disabled, make education accessible to everyone, have social welfare, pay doctor's bills for people who cannot afford it and try to counter ghettofication by subsidizing flats in more expensive areas. At least some countries do that, and guess what - those are the ones with the highest living standards for everyone.
Once thing that jumped out at me was the gender disparity in the younger classes. If I'm reading it correctly, for 2015+2016 there were 39 kids in kindergarten and 7 of them were boys.
The All-Powerful Sketch
I love that book so much. My favorite part is the section on chlorine trifluoride (ClF3):

"It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that’s the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water-with which it reacts explosively.

It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals-steel, copper, aluminium, etc.-because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminium keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes."
Introduction to functional programming [pdf]
Look at it another way: no Intel iGPU is on par with any discrete GPU, because in price segments where iGPUs appear, discrete GPUs tend to vanish in a matter of 1-2 years. There used to be a significant number of NVIDIA Geforce MX420/440s, 5200s and 6200s. Then much fewer 730s. Now 1030s are practically only in laptops. Intel has been nibbling away at this market slowly, but steadly for a decade.

Perhaps it can't scale up enough to make automation economical because the customers have to be located nearby. You might make enough of a particular dish to satisfy the whole neighborhood in your delivery radius but still be too small a scale for robots to be cheaper than humans.

Why React Native Is Not for You
Tbh, neither of those tasks actually require much understanding to perform; the ability to google things, and a decent attention span is more than sufficient. Both tasks have well guided tours, and you just can mostly get by just c&p'ing any errors into gooogle.

However, I've met a lot of people, even in tech, who can't imagine using google for more than the simplest query, and refuse to read anything longer than a paragraph unless absolutely necessary.

I'm currently of the opinion that the "tech-illiterate" mostly consist of those who almost actively don't want to have to solve the problem themselves.

This is also enforced by the opinion that the majority of the "tech" hobby isn't difficult, and doesnt require much intelligence at all; its mostly manual labour, but on the computer.

"The problem isn't tech, it's people"

This sounds remarkably like an argument I've heard before, but there will always be destructive people and people seeking to profit from events like this.

In this case certain features created by tech companies perpetuate and amplify the destructiveness of those people, and that's a problem tech needs to solve quickly. Education could definitely help people filter information better, and in turn tech companies can leverage that curation to deliver better products.

The short term fix? Perhaps Google should just disable their tweet carousel (at least during certain events) until it works reliably and doesn't contribute to misinformation on this scale.

FBI-Apple feud over encryption reignites
The Linux Argument
Sounds like you missed the word "moonlighting" in the post you're responding to.

You keep your day job writing software and do your entrepreneuring on nights and weekends. Try things out until one of them is matching your day job's income, then quit and go full time.

That's what I did. And come to think of it, it's yet another factor to throw into that Perfect Storm I mentioned above, because you can't really moonlight out a brick and mortar store while keeping your day job at another one.

The connection between "AI" and "GPU" in everyone's mind is a testament to the PR chops of NVIDIA. You don't need a GPU to run ML/DL/neural networks, but NVIDIA have GPU tech so they're selling GPUs. What you need is the massive ALU power and, to lesser extent, the huge internal bandwidth of GPUs. There are huge chunks of GPU die area that are of no use when running NN-type of code: the increasingly complex rasterizers, the texture units, the framebuffer/zbuffer compression stuff, and on the software side, the huge pile of junk in the drivers that allows you not only to run games from a decade ago, but also run them better than last year's GPU. If you can afford to start from scratch, you can lose a lot of this baggage.

The problem is that people trust Google. If we go down the path you suggest, it means no one should ever trust what they find on Google. That throws it back 10 years to where it was just a collection of links and would potentially harm Google more than enforcing higher standards.

Maybe algorithms just aren't up to the task of exercising editorial judgement over news stories?

Would the world be that much poorer if Google didn't include a "popular on Twitter" feature?

What if Google News were a smaller, human-curated roster of important stories that were basically the same for everyone? (maybe targeted by country) It could be a good thing to have a non-filter bubbled set of news.
I completely agree. If you use Instacart for cooking, even one substitution could make you have to go to the store again. And I find that a lot of Instacart shoppers have very little intuition/common sense about what are sensible substitutions.

I tried out Express because I would gladly pay the subscription fee if it worked. I ordered from Target a couple of times and the second time about a quarter of my order was substituted. And I go to Target enough to believe that most of these items were there. The shopper just didn't know where to look. In fact, I could see in real time that this shopper wasn't qualified. I wish there was a button that would've allowed me to abort and get a new shopper.

I can't imagine having to deal with this if I were preparing a recipe.
Then the bank has incentive to shift responsibility back to you, e.g. by requiring withdrawal request to be signed with your private encryption key. And you have an incentive to care about security of this key.
As powerful as it is for sharing misinformation, it is equally powerful for sharing correct information.

When involved in a debate, if someone says the wrong thing, the audience does not interrupt and say "Moderator, you let the wrong thing be said. The debate must cease and you are fired." The correct thing is simply allowed to be said afterward.

There is a subtle draconian undertone to this anti-fake news rhetoric. We want tech to be responsible for our own actions, to such an extent that we are willing to sacrifice the natural flow of point/cointer-point of human discussion. Something about it just smells.

I trust google to return things that are relevant to my searches. Whether those things are true or false is up to me to determine after clickthrough.

This expectation that search results equal truth seems like a very recent assumption closely linked to this fake news development. I've never personally had that assumption myself and I am surprised to suddenly hear that it is apparently so common.

I'll try to say things in a less sarcastic form.

Americans, the argumentation for interception correspondence and private life perlustration provided by your 3 letter services and whole executive branch in general is laughable.

They talk about busting terror cells, then proceed to dig your personal data on facebook or somebody's very very private Snapchat conversations, as if Osama Bin Laden, with his alleged $ billions in the bank, has nothing else to do than writing a web diary with all his plans exposed in plain sight or sexting with his groupies.

The prime interest of this STASI style mass perlustration are not the so called "terrorists," but your and other citizens private life, and it is laughable for anybody to claim that this is anything other than that.

And it looks even more laughable when somebody goes beyond not only taking that as given, but even tries to insinuate a posh opposition and say to US government "you are not doing the mass domestic espionage in constitutionally correct way, you should do mass surveillance differently" as if mass surveillance can be ever become legal in USA.

Microsoft probably sees and routinely fulfills thousands of data perlustration requests a months, but rather than saying "What you do is fucking illegal, you will get that data only over my dead body," they say "Dear uncle Sam, we have a lot of dirt on you, and in particular the request no. 9877989 with very weak legal argumentation in it, play nicer with us in the future"

The article title is actually "Texas gunman’s iPhone could reignite FBI-Apple feud over encryption" (emphasis added).

Though the premise seems rather unlikely given this from the selfsame article:

Let's say 200 billion (suitable) stars. Let's say 20% of them have planets around them. If our own system is in any way typical, we can say that about 2 of those planets can sustain life. Let's say life develops maybe 30% of the time and 'intelligence' 5% of that (I think this is extremely generous). Then let's say technology (meaning they can broadcast radio signals) develops out of 10% of those. The last part is pretty crucial, the "lifetime" of these civilizations. What it means for this discussion is the amount of time they are broadcasting unencrypted radio signals. Let's give them 500 years (again, I think this is really generous). That should give us 6 civilizations in the galaxy at any given time. Sorry but you're just not going to find them.

If you want deep insight into the remote control market-- I am your man-- humanity, doubly so.

Regarding humanity, the most important thing about any issue is what you're not considering. As humans we accumulate experience in proportion to our exposure to it. We are most vulnerable when life does not afford us an opportunity to accumulate that experience.

Things people get ripped of on? Home purchases, cars, funerals, weddings, etc. you won't have an opportunity to accumulate more than a few of these experiences in your lifetime. You cant extrapolate a larger pattern from your interactions.

As someone who has designed dozens of control surfaces-- let me you-- the problem is this: two dollar remote controls-- and believe me, tahts what we sold them to our OEMs for-- are "heads up" interfaces. Ipads, iphones, etc are "heads down" interfaces.

A single function, 2$ remote with no display at all is a tactile interface. You can in the complete dark control your TV more or less.

Our flagship, $1200 remote, wasn't as functional. People bought it anyways. I honestly don't know why.

I would say that certain technologies perpetuate and amplify the voice of people, but not necessarily their destructiveness. Correct information is equally perpetuated and amplified. The ratio of correct to incorrect information seems unaffected. For this reason I am not convinced there's an actual problem.
