As mentioned, that was off the top of my head. Some of it is "inside baseball" at Google, but there are a bunch of published papers about cluster scheduling. This one is a good overview, and has numbers, evaluation, lessons learned, etc.:

https://research.google.com/pubs/pub43438.html

My overall point is that even if learned indexes replace traditional data structures (which is a big if), plenty of important systems problems that remain. Some that I could think of:

- Fixing front end performance as mentioned in a sibling comment.

- System administration of a billion Android phones. The state of these seems pretty sorry.

- Auditing app stores for security bugs.

- Eliminating security bugs by construction. Hell, even just eliminating XSS.

- Software that runs transparently in multiple data centers. (Spanner is a big step in that direction, but not a panacea.)

I could name like 10 more... none of these have anything to do with learned indexes. The point is that the OP is generalizing from a really specific technique to some kind of hand-wavy "machine learning writes all the code" secnario.

I'd do some research, well worth it. They guy isn't human.
Have you considered registering your own domain and giving out personalized emails to everyone? E.g. from_blahbank@mydomain.tld? That way, you could rotate most often leaked prefixes regularly without disturbing other recipients.

If you know/believe that supply will generally adjust to cancel demand, then you have much less incentive to speculate.
Why does this rather anecdotal comment stays on top and why has the article been hidden?

A iPhone6 is a completely different hardware than a iPhone 6s. The 6s and SE have the same CPU and GPU spec, the 6 is a lot slower and not supported by Apple anymore for AR (augmented reality). The article is about 6 not 6s. I trust ifixit website a lot more than this dumb comment.
Machine checked useable compilers exist (CakeML, CompCert). Useable kernels exists (SeL4). A few people officially work as proof engineers.

So I recently found out I'm one of those many people with high blood pressure. This knowledge has been stressing me out (I don't want to die yet).

I'm reasonably active as far as software engineers go: 10k+ steps daily and exercise 2-3 times/week.

My BMI is 28, which is in the overweight category, but I carry a fair amount of muscle along with my flab.

My diet is the hardest part to control. I live alone and spend a lot of time at the office, so I often eat takeout Chinese and other convenience food.

My point is that a lot of us HN-y folks probably lead comparable lifestyles. The kind that we may think aren't too unhealthy, but for at least some of us, that assumption is wrong. Please keep an eye on your blood pressure and your waistline. I wish I had started paying attention to this much sooner. Now I'm not sure whether I can still reverse the outcome.
Because design is still a luxury skill set. We need it to become a slight more available in the market.
Salt does not cause the disease, but regulating salt is how you regulate high blood pressure when you have it (which his dad has). Yep, muscle cramps are side effect.

People with high pressure measure it often, so they eventually get idea on what works.

One of two times I've had police point their guns at me I was pulled over while driving my father's car. I opened the glove box when asked for license and registration and unbeknownst to me there was a Swiss army knife in there. Both officers unholstered their guns and the one at my window told me to slowly remove the knife from the glove box, but as soon as I touched it the other officer on the passenger side immediately yelled at me to "drop it!" Fortunately there were only two of them and after that they managed to get on the same page and avoid shooting me. The other time I was smoking marijuana from a pipe immediately after surviving a serious collision, I assume the guns were because they were mad they wouldn't be able to prove I was high during the accident (I wasn't).
> We're eventually going to figure out a basic file format that all applications will use and extend.

The general trend seems to skip that and is moving towards renting hosted software applications. Google docs is already pervasive in certain corners, and not only can I not tell you what version of Google docs I'm using, but I can't really tell you what its file formats are, or even where it's even actually stored other than "in the cloud".

Assuming that trend continues, what, then, even are file formats?

Surely, IOTA is a pile of insanity, right?

It is still centralized right? [1] The whole thing is still implemented in ternary [2] for some reason right? Implemented by the people who rolled their own crypto, then when they - days later - were told it was obviously and trivially broken (collisions discovered via differential cryptanalysis) claimed they left it broken as some sort of copy protection mechanism? [3] And then pretended Microsoft was involved? [4]

The one of which Schneier wrote: “In 2017, leaving your crypto algorithm vulnerable to differential cryptanalysis is a rookie mistake. It says that no one of any calibre analyzed their system, and that the odds that their fix makes the system secure is low.”

That IOTA?

Components of Angular Js and their purposes
Incremental type systems are super interesting. Lots of work being done in the last 10 years that blurs the lines between static and dynamic typing (monkeytype, reticulated Python), types and values (via the triumph of inferred types), kinds and types (powerful trait systems like Scala's), and even values and code (code synthesis like magichaskeller, or excel's flashfill).

The problem is Bitcoin Core, at least some part of it’s developers, pushing their own agenda to implement SegWit and Lightning network. Both solutions have a lot of technical debt and possible security problems, they were controversial from the beginning, that’s why miners were refusing to implement SegWit for over a year. Now we have Bitcoin Cash which has solved those problems in a simple way, at least for now. Bitcoin Cash is more like a desperate effort to fix the damage done by Bitcoin Core and make Bitcoin usable again.

Just to add to your request, is there any literature which goes over the effects of wearing minimalist shoes? Everything I'm finding on Google has to do with running, not with wearing them as an all-purpose shoe. Would be interested to know what effects these shoes have on gait and posture (currently have some knee pain and think something like this could help).

What are the opportunities for Taiwan healthcare workers to emigrate? Sometimes the surprising quality comes from lack of perspectives for the workers (for example strict visas requirements in contrast to EU free labour movement). Many very good doctors from Central and Eastern Europe emigrated and the quality of healthcare dropped.
> the reason is pretty obvious: sponsor pressure. You think Salomon is ponying up for him to get to 28,500 and then turn back?

The guy is a living legend in his 20's. He's already failed on Everest before, in 2016. What pressure do you think Salomon has on Jornet? Salomon is a 700 million dollar a year in revenue company, whose parent company has yearly revenue in the billions. They got the scratch and Jornet is Salomon's top athlete, no question about it. I don't even think Salomon was the sole, or even main sponsor. His blog lists Mercedes Benz a b.s. luxury brand that seems to be what's needed as the catalyst for large expeditions into the Himalayas that has nothing to do with mountaineering.

The big money in sponsorship (as an athlete) is in racing, not mountaineering. But Jornet has literally won every race there is to win! Salomon is sponsoring Jornet even though he doesn't do what a sponsors runner is supposed to do - because he's his own weather system of getting eyeballs interested in the brands that sponsor him - he doesn't need UTMB, or any other ultra race anymore. He can compete in them for fun, when he wants to.

Take it from me, there's little if no money in setting FKTs, and only the Jornet's of the world could pull it off. His sponsors aren't pushing for him to do this stuff, he's telling his sponsors what he's doing, the sponsors put up the hype, and they all make a lot of money.

> Also, didn’t Kilian get DQed for cutting switchbacks in a race after being told repeatedly to knock it off?

No, he was not disqualified:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyRew7lr5eE

There's little to no money in being a professional ultra runner. A little little better in Europe, but the only dude I know that makes a living as a pro ultra runner is so injured, he can't even run. It honestly doesn't matter: he has a huge social media following, and he gets people excited for the brand. He makes a living not running (he doesn't coach, he doesn't put on his own race, nothing). He makes pennies to Jornet's dollars.

Believe me, Jornet's doing fine, and wouldn't need to fake a summit bid. Remember too, he summited twice in that one trip.

Didn’t SOMA go pretty much directly from commercial space to tech worker housing? My understanding is that this is why so much development was allowed: no one to gentrify.

Regardless, as long as the pace of housing development is held below the pace of job growth and migration, the region will continue to get less and less affordable for everyone.
Could be the Chinese food? Most takeout or food that you don't cook yourself is high in sodium, which raises your blood pressure. If you cook for yourself with non-processed ingredients and without over-seasoning - and stay well-hydrated - then maybe you'd be fine. As someone that moved to the USA and started eating out a lot, I quickly realised my sodium intake shot up drastically and that I should cook for myself more to be healthy

Caltrain isn't exactly as cheap as a bus, and the schedule is focused on commuters, not suburban shoppers. It's actually looks cheaper to use Uber if you combine bus and Caltrain fares.
the speed of light is based on two specific values of the medium in which the photons are travelling. The permeability and the permittivity, one affects the magnetic the other affects the electric.

Hence by the change of these two values, the speed of light (magnitude) changes. Hence, if we are able to create media in which these values are appropriately specified, we can create media in which the specific speed of light is less than c0 or greater than c0.

It, therefore, may be possible to create a medium in which light will pass through faster than a vacuum.

I'm not espousing this view. I'm simply pointing out that the folks that are actually active in submitting their opinions to the planning department and planning commission mainly block new development by making this argument.

There was a lot of panic when the city supervisors started tweaking the required percentage of below market rate (BMR) housing, and even suggested they might no longer allow the fee payment mechanism (instead of having 20% of units as BMR, contribute a similar dollar amount to an affordable housing fund). I personally think the microhousing projects (funded by those payments) have the most promise, but I worry that it's a repeat of The Projects from the 50s and 60s.

Which Asian Country Will Replace China as the 'World's Factory'?
There never had been kvas from wooden barrels in Moscow in 1982 or after. Kvas was sold from metal trailer tanks like this one: http://mtdata.ru/u22/photo30E5/20831353979-0/original.jpg till 90s and then it was gone (I left in early 2000s though I doubt wooden barrels with a cup on a chain appeared later).

Stuffed potato is not something Russians eat, least something so popular to be sold on the street. So, again, it was not sold in 1982 or later.

Blinchiki is something that could have been possibly sold since Russians do eat them. I've never seen them sold on the street myself but I cannot possibly say it's as ridiculous as stuffed potato.
I use Vibram for running and vivobarefoot.com as daily shoes. My experience with both as on slippery surfaces like rocks after rain when hiking and on icy pavement was that traction was definitely worse compared with good ordinary hiking or winter shoes/boots. But as it was much easier to keep balance, the net result was improvement.

I suspect with barefoot shoes even those with a rubber sole with a pattern the depth of the pattern is just too shallow. So effectively the weight is distributed over the whole surface of the foot. With ordinary shoes pattern on the soles and heels make the contact surface much smaller and pressure higher improving traction.
I think the BMR percentage scheme is a perfectly reasonable compromise. But now the focus needs to be on maximizing volume, and even with percentages set, the affordable housing people are still trying to minimize it.

The Hardware Hacker
SalesForce Tower looks like one hack of a ugly building. Does anyone else feel buildings in US are becoming exceedingly bland and uncreative in architecture? Just look at skyscrapers in places like Singapore, Dubai or Shanghai and you would be amazed at diversity and imaginativeness of people who built them.
nothing personal man but i don't think the reason you posted this was to share an anecdote about obeying the police
This to me seems to be the big difference between US policing and what we're used to in e.g. most European countries: A focus on quick resolution at all cost rather than peaceful resolution.

UK police for example tends to respond with overwhelming force, clear the area if possible, and contain their potential adversary, and if possible often wait the situation out. They will use violence if they have to, but it ends up being rare.

Stupid accidents still happens (e.g. an unarmed man was shot because police worried he might be a terrorist a few years back), but serious ones are predictably few when police defaults to avoid violence, and defaults to not even carry guns. But even firearms teams who are specifically called out when a suspect is armed have few serious accidents because they're not there to shoot their way to a resolution except as a last resort.

It shows that it's possible to structure your life to not need a car, so you can significantly reduce the risk of a traffic accident.
Yes, but people can choose to structure their life in ways that don't require putting children in cars, hence greatly reducing the risk of their children being in traffic accidents. So cars are not unavoidable, they're just a trade-off.

All the money goes to “more important” things. Police are badly educated, badly trained, badly equipped, etc. And part of a culture that views dead bodies as an acceptable outcome, “better than the alternative”.
I think he gets to that $0.14/mile by including the cost of the complete bike (assuming 500 charge cycles of the battery, which at 30 miles/charge should last him about 4 years with a 15 mile commute).

Over those 4 years, he'll ride 15 miles/day * 253 working days/year, or 4000 miles/year, or 16000 miles.

So.... $1400 / 16000 = $.09/mile

He also included maintenance, so if he spends $200/year in maintenance (not unreasonable if he takes it to a bike shop for maintenance), that gets him up to $0.14/mile.
So why did you get suspended and had your games taken away?

The second link is indeed in Poland, noticed the signs in Polish (https://youtu.be/enTQhNx_jpg?t=109).
In general so many things can be misunderstood. E.g. when Jean Charles de Menezes was shot by anti-terror police in London who mistook him for a potential suicide bomber, one of the things brought up was how he got up from his seat in a rapid motion by lifting his arms in front of him to shift his point of gravity.

It stands out to me because they thought it was weird, but to me it's just the easiest way to get up when you're on a crowded train and there's no space to your sides to support you on.

But to a stressed out, scared armed response team even that made him seem scarier.

To this date, almost ten years later, I think of that case ever time I get up from a seat that way. Not that I expect to be mistaken for a terrorist, but because it underlines just how bad people are at interpreting body language, and how dangerous that can be when combined with stressed out armed police.

> It's anti-growth NIMBYs who have caused SF real estate prices to fly off to the Moon.

It's tech companies who keep insisting that they must have their headquaters in SF. Even YC who should care about giving their founders maximum runway insist to force them upon valley and bleed money on rents while eating ramen. Why? Software does not have any need or reason to be only built in the valley. Sure, you come to valley to hire, get funding but then you should leave! Run away to cheaper places and work from there! There are large number of people in SV exceedingly frustrated by home prices, school situation and commute and they will be more then happy to move out to Austin or wherever else.

In fact I would say doing a startup these days in SV is almost brain dead. You would burn too much of your funding in high salaries, office rents and all kind of taxes. Virtually every talented person I know outside of valley does not want to move in to valley because of CoL. If you are startup in valley you are closing door to large pool of these talent while exposing yourself to local talent that is actually non-existent at startup level salaries and have huge attrition anyway.
