Consider applying the same to creative effort. Yes, your absolute best effort may beat my absolute best, but we live in a world where most people are not even trying.

In Germany, Apple has a sub-16% mobile marketshare, and even less on desktop. Firefox has 43% marketshare.

Google frequently releases major products without Firefox support, with this only being added months or years later.

And if a human analyst doesn't listen to the full raw original recording, the NSA believes they have never even, legally speaking, 'intercepted' the communication. So automated processing is very important. As is training machine learning systems to profile people on arbitrary and unknown criteria for manipulation. All without ever 'intercepting' anything.

The reactor will be launched in a "cold" state, it will also be in a robust structure (though not as strong as RTGs, though that's unnecessary). The absolute worst case scenario is that you get a release of U-235. That's not great but on the scale of radiological hazards it's comparatively very minor. The reactor doesn't start generating fission products (aka "fallout" isotopes) until it's in space and operating, presumably with no chance of returning to Earth.

I don't really understand the "walking" problem.

I have spent a long time in electric wheelchairs. I can move around a room with a control pad and am comfortable without getting nausea.

After a few hours won't people's brains just start to accept that walking is something we do with our thumbs now?
Given the punishing training regimen the Williams sisters follow, it is good evidence of biological limits on the boost training can give in tennis. I doubt it has much relevance for creativity.
The article mentions the first interview Sam Harris did with Jordan Peterson. It appeared frustrating for both parties because they got caught up in definitions of words, etc. Still, it was civil so they parted and agreed to talk again. Harris says, "I’d received more listener requests for him than for Neil deGrasse Tyson, Richard Dawkins, Steven Pinker, Edward Snowden—or, indeed, any other person on earth."[0]

Notably, but not in the article, Harris interviewed Peterson again, two months later.[1]

That's not really the point we were making and I'm not sure you have a correct understanding of UX, as you're conflating UX and visual design.

There's no pressure in the market to not value UX. Everyone wants and needs that. If anything there are pressures to only value efficiency rather than delight. Sometimes "fun" isn't efficient.
It’s worth pointing out that Peterson is actually not against using a variety of gender pronouns per se. So many people get this wrong.

He is against being compelled to use a variety of gender pronouns by legislation which is internally inconsistent, scientifically inaccurate, and additionally lacks clarity by punting process and standards to the Ontario human rights commission which can change their process and definitions without involvement from an elected legislature.

That's not what they are ever going to provide, like the parent comment indicated because it isn't their goal.

> for normal people

Sure is a good No True Scotsman you've got there. And I'm not even sure you'd be right ignoring that; recall that sports like boxing and MMA separate people into weight classes that are ten pounds wide. In other words, those sports think that, within the bounds of "professional", there is no amount of innate ability or training that can balance out a 25-pound difference in weight.

But even if you were right about reachable levels of ability, you fail to realize that the problem is less about the maximum reachable level and more about the ease of reaching a competitive level. Sure, most people can train up to run a marathon. But some people will take a year to do that and some people will take three month. And that kind of difference is crippling. Trying to get a degree in a one-year skill will cost you more in time and stress than trying to get a degree in a one-month skill, so much more that you may be out-competed and fail or simply collapse under the increased strain.

Furthermore, when looking at Real Life, it's not just about whether you can Get Good at a single skill that you can't choose. It's about how good you can be overall. It's impressive when a 100lb one-armed boxer beats an untrained 250lb person through pure skill because it indicates just how much time that boxer must have spent training to do that. But do we think that the "untrained person" sat on their ass that whole time? No. They spent that time playing chess. And as a result, while the boxer trains their ass off and has a fantastic day and somehow, against all odds, manages to beat the untrained person in a boxing ring... if they squared off across a chessboard the "untrained person" would casually style all over the boxer in between rounds of candy crush.

So yes. Training >>> innate skill, more so for some skills than others. But don't let that make you think that genetics are fair.
> Over-focusing on technologies, rather than skills

For me, technologies actually help me contextualize how much experience the person has. When a resume says "fast learner" or "team player", well, everyone else will claim that too and it becomes somewhat of an empty claim in my mind. With that said, a bullet list of common technologies does tend to come across as a junior level of experience

> Leaving out organizational context, project context. Why did you do that? Why should I care?

This is a good point. I would phrase it as "What was the purpose of the work". IMHO, there are two types of good answers, the ones that highlight the business impact, and the ones that tie in to code quality.

> Leaving out outcomes

Overall I agree, but I think there are some types of answers that raise flags, e.g. when the acccomplishment seems like the person might be claiming credit for the whole team's effort. Heroic stories might also be a sign of team friction.

Sure, but this implies that you don't learn things while "not trying". Of course you learn things while "not trying", albeit different things.
OTOH, big-endian is better for comparison; you can tell when one integer is larger than another by looking at as little as just one bit, from the most significant end.

This is key: Continuing discussion is essential to scientific and social progress -- especially on topics in which you disagree or may even be offended (if emotions were allowed to dominate), not to the exclusion of such things.

This inversion from intellectuals welcoming disagreement to shunning it is a terrifying movement to those who value science and truth-seeking, because in a worst case scenario it could very realistically lower us into a new dark age. Just the necessity of an "intellectual dark web" is itself an extremely concerning reflection of today's intellectual climate, which is becoming hostile to tenets of rationality and civilized discourse.

When we subtract dialogue and reason from the picture, all we are left with is emotional conflict -- and rarely do two extremely conflicting emotional views of a topic resolve automatically without the intervention or guidance of rationality.
What an odd viewpoint.

Progressives (least ones I associate with) are increasingly shunning "Social Conservatives" because they release that the position that's become known as "Social Conservative" is about authoritarianism.

The election of Trump has made the damage they're doing painfully obvious. Suddenly, Nazis are "good people" and that has really riled people up. It's hard for me to support someone when I know they voted for a Nazi sympathizer, and thus I have no desire to interact with them.

Right, the idea is to be here to gratify intellectual curiosity. People who use HN that way and occasionally comment on a political topic as one of many things they're interested in, tend not to have so toxic an effect on the site. I think it's partly a question of the spirit one is in the habit of adopting here.
I'd be happy to manage my own desk procurement, including organizing the delivery and assembly, if my employer wanted to pay me for it - that's still paying an engineer for administrative work, but maybe less of it at least.
I was just looking at semantic-ui-react, and it looked great.

Trying to understand the "rich" part in "get rich quick" in this.

So let's assume I'm the one who started this thing - if I just start it I only get 1200$ out of it. How often do I have to "rejoin" the tree to cash in more? I'd have to pay 150$, so I can't randomly do that - or do I see that as an investment? Only thing that comes to my mind is keeping a whole "lineage" to myself with my fake accounts, so I only ever pay myself and cash in from the sidelines?

Maybe I'm just not smart enough to pull a pyramid scheme...

> Would allowing organizations to manage their own key(s) suffice?

No. Slack does not implement searching logic on the client. If the key is only known to the client, and the search logic is only known to the server, you can't search anything.

End-to-end encryption is fundamentally incompatible with server-side search, because it mandates that the secret key can never leave the client. You can't reconcile these two features without efficient homomorphic encryption (which does not exist yet, and will not exist for the foreseeable future in any practical sense).

Obviously there's no "right" for a kid to get into one of those high demand schools though. Otherwise we're already violating the rights of everyone who doesn't get a spot (and/or their parents, if you believe the primary reason they're so motivated to get their kids into these schools is so they can brag about it to other parents).
Not exactly, most of these arguments also assume "free will" is a real thing. Some people might be more genetically inclined to "trying". Overall most things are based purely on luck and genes.

If you're genetically gifted with a talent and genetically driven to "train" you'll be much better off than someone with only one trait.
I did not assume "dark patterns". I am explaining behavior from the viewpoint of the UX Designer, especially getting work. As a product owner, you are free to choose what you want to prioritize. You don't get to chose what other product owners prioritize. Some product owners really like fancy checkboxes. go to any apple page and tell me if you see standard, unstyled html text boxes, combo boxes, and check boxes.
Yes, that's the purpose. Oldest still existing companies.
But I didn't like that the biggest ones, bigger than today's Amazon or Google are not in it.
> It doesn’t help that the designers often do not code and model the experiences in animation software.

I don't think even that is a good enough reason. They simply don't approach the problem the way someone using their app would. It's the developers' problem to turn a difficult design into code, but the real problem is that even when that is done perfectly, the UX still sucks.

Every time we redesigned a major UX component of the dashboard of our (desktop) app, we would grab a random secretary, HR person, accountant, or anyone else we could find and borrow an hour of their time and just watch them try to use it without any prior preconceptions that come as a result of designing/coding the interface yourself.

It's been 10 years since we used that trick and I've moved on from that company, but I still think it's the best approach I've ever come across short of outsourcing some sort of panel testing.
Thanks for explaining. It often happens that I assume bad faith in someone on HN and then was completely wrong. Sorry about that! I have to work to follow the site guidelines (which say "assume good faith") as much as anyone.

History is full of naysayers who were wrong.

I agree with your statement - my point is that there seems to be this prevailing idea that you can't learn unless you try to build something by yourself which ignores reality. Sure, if you try to start a business/project/idea you're going to learn a lot along the way, but if you don't strike out on your own you're still going to have experiences and learn.

Big-endian means that am ultra-high-speed routing fabric can receive the most significant part of an address address and possibly start making a routing decision before the other bytes of the frame have arrived.

Hands down no brainer.

Even the fact that headers come before payloads is a kind of "big endian", as is the fact that important information tends to occur earlier in headers. Look at a basic Ethernet frame. The destination address is first, so before even knowing the source address, or anything else, the switch can know where that frame will be sent.
Thanks for correction. Unfortunately I'm not able to edit it anymore.
It is protected. Cert expiration has no impact on the safety of the connection whatsoever. LE uses the same encryption as the big guys, they just set the expiry date field to a lower number. Please explain how that meaningfully reduces security.

Indeed. Petty sniping in an attempt to avoid engaging the content lowers the level of discourse substantially.

You don't need any of this. I paid $70 for Final Fantasy 3 on the SNES in the 1990s. The average AAA PS4 game is 59.99 in 2018. Games are one of the few things that not only have not matched inflation, they've gone down despite the sheer amount of people needing to work on them going up.
I get the point you're trying to make, but making everything custom adds cognitive load that isn't necessary and restricts your design space. The more time you spend thinking about your custom solutions, the less time you can spend on features that differentiate your product.

I had to troubleshoot an issue that a higher up in the company was having with their bridge at home. I asked him to hit a specific endpoint on his bridge in the browser and send me the result, a win for HTTP.

This is your idea of a major difference that affects implementation so much that is separate VM needs to be written? Many Java programs already do essentially manual memory management already too. Those aren't the big differences. Things like safe-memory access are bigger issues. And once wasm gets gc, it will even be closer to Java and JS.

I hope Graal outperforms everything else, so we can stop pretending like WASM is something different than what Java has been trying to do.

Not exctly accurate, for the part of the number that is < 100, it will always be R-L, as in 25, would be 5 and twenty in Arabic.

Also for the part that is L-R, that is not the rule, as some people still read all the number as R-L (actually in a lot of historical documents that was the case), so the would read 1925 as five and twenty and nine hundred and a thousand. Where is now most people would read it as a thousand, and nine hundred, and five and twenty.
