So Cal. County of Riverside. Our daughter was seriously ill and the by phone consultancy took over 24 hours to call us back. By that time, of course, we'd been to the hospital.

It took 3 months to get a 10 min immunization appointment. The county contributes ~9xx dollars as do we. Our medical care literally is 8x my last car payment per month.
Are you sure that they're weighting FLOSS contributions that heavily? At the first application stage I wouldn't expect them to look at them much so I'm not sure if your extrapolation from your rejections is accurate.

Even there the meta game is constantly evolving, look at the rise in popularity of shield dropping, I haven't been in that scene in a while but I was around it long enough to realize that there was an ever evolving meta-game. There's that entire joke in the community about the post-apocalyptic universe of 20xx [0] where the game has devolved into a rock paper scissors meta game for port priority. Additionally new rules do emerge in the scene, is chain grabbing ICs okay? what about Onett? etc. These serve to keep the game fresh by introducing a variance of popular strategy. This is what the semi weekly patches do in LoL. They keep the meta ever changing and even if you get out of the game the meta game is nominally important for spectators because the casters will pretty much explain it to you as the game goes on.

It’s [a little bit] bullshit. The light emitted from a pulsar is only a sphere if you live in a universe that contains only you and the pulsar.

Spacetime is curved by every mass in it. The distance light travels is subtly changed by what is between you and the source.

If four observers cannot agree on what was your exact location at time n (without a perfect model of the entire universe) then how would you be able to determine your location by observing four other objects?

Edit: You can get the right neighborhood, but if you’re moving at relativistic speeds it will be problematic. And if you’re in the middle of nowhere and not moving at relativistic speeds you’re probably gonna die anyway...

Telegram X: Progress through Competition
Another interesting article popped up with the release of the CA disengagement reports: https://jalopnik.com/californias-autonomous-car-reports-are-...

TLDR: Cruise had, what some would consider, to be a disengagement incident but didn't report it because it does not fall into the categories defined by California.

The core issue here is that the disengagement reports should not be the end-all-be-all of where companies are. As the ieee article calls out, we have no clue what kind of testing the companies are doing (how hard they are pushing their systems). There is also some room for companies to avoid reporting certain types of incidents.

Waymo did 2 million miles in 2017, but only 330k were in CA. We are only seeing a slice of their data.

If we (the public) want a better picture of where companies are on this, the rules around what is reported need to be changed. They possibly need to also be done at the federal level so no company can hide their public testing in states that don't require reporting.

The reason it doesn't command much pay is not because it doesn't require much skill. It's because either there are more people willing to do that job that doesn't require much skill, or there are fewer jobs available to those that don't have skills (in a given area).
The thing with fulfillment center work is, you tend to do one specific job all the time. If you stow, pick, move carts around, move stuff from a cart onto a conveyor belt, you do that all day, every day, until you're told to do something else.

Even though many jobs might not be "grueling," at least in warehouses where the inventory tends to be lightweight, the repetition and requirement to meet rate will ensure that even relatively simple tasks can wear people out. Having to stand in one place for an entire shift, in the Kiva-enabled warehouses, can be more physically demanding on your lower back, knees and feet than the jobs that let you move around.

Oh, of course we filled in that role, and to a point that's what I mean by team lead. But the standard is having both a team lead, and a product owner. Why? What is the PO doing that the team and it's lead aren't better able to do? If there is something, by all means, have that person, but typically there isn't. Which I think is this article's point
Skycoin is interesting. https://www.skycoin.net/whitepapers/
By default you don't own your likeness, but you can file the paperwork to own it. Michael Jordan famously wasn't in any of the major basketball games during his prime because he owned his own likeness, so there would have to have been separate licensing deals apart from the NBA to include him.

> At the end of the day, we just don't need secretaries, travel agents,

We keep telling ourselves that, but it's a story. (Presumably so we can feel good about income inequality)

A good secretary, or a good travel agent, are amazing. I'd pay good money to have either one available, and so would many other people.

All we've done is put that work on people who already have another job, the people who used to be customers of that secretary/travel agent. In the process introducing a middle man who makes money off redistributing work. Yes, that middle man is slightly more efficient - but it can only be more efficient because the hard parts of the work are outsourced to you.

The difficult part of booking travel isn't making a flight reservation, it's finding just the right thing. A travel agent was a tremendous help there - you're now doing that yourself. Expedia, Orbitz, etc. are completely useless in that department.

> Jeff Bezos is a multi-billionaire and his workers are living in near-poverty.

I think a living wage is important and ideally Amazon could pay a decent wage plus benefits. That said, I absolutely hate the argument you made and it makes me cringe every time I hear it. It's apples and oranges. There is a world of difference between building an entire company that is one of the largest in the entire world and sorting boxes in a warehouse. We can argue that people should be paid more for humane reasons and that the multiple for CEO compensation vs. workers should be lowered, but Bezos' wealth is based on something completely different than this. I think a case for basic income is getting stronger because the more companies are asked to pay for human labor the more likely they are to do away with it and have it completely automated. What then?
I never believed neither Tesla nor Nvidia when they said last year that they would achieve Level 5 within a few short years. I have a rule of thumb for such announcements: subtract at least one level to get the real level and what their systems are actually capable of.

How could these cars reach Level 5 when they've only been tested for like a year or two on some roads? And I don't believe there is good enough simulation for them right now either. Even Google's CAPTCHA was asking me recently to pick the "bridge" from the pictures. There was no bridge.

Windows also has it's user experience weaknesses. Windows reboots in your faces and keeps you from working for dozens of minutes when updating. Other examples: all the viruses, the need for constantly renewed hardware, the loads of crapware that come with most PCs.
These are the kinds of decisions that can be frustrating when the software you use depends on the kind of company that made it.

Nutrition science is on fairly sound footing today, I think hopefully to myself as I squirt 15 ml of MCT oil into my morning coffee.

The point I took away is that scientific disciplines act like they're sound long before they actually are, so you can't evaluate the soundness of a science based on its own confident pronouncements.

Certainly the history of cognitive science involved making strong claims before they were valid. While some parts of the brain, like the early visual system, were understood correctly early on, the role of the cortex in cognition is still poorly understood.

That doesn't stop people from confidently promoting mental disciplines to optimize learning, memory, or happiness. And we should be skeptical.
Thanks,

I can understand the feeling about the depth of feedback here. And I agree when I have felt compelled enough to give feedback on an idea, usually it had a bit more depth than a reaction allows. As a creator, I also agree getting feedback as prose would be better. But this comes from having been on the other side and having posted a few things we've worked on to Show HN and to Product Hunt, and a few other sites and having gotten no feedback. I do understand that no reaction is a reaction in itself but you are left in a place of having no idea why it isn't working. So this is genuinely an experiment to see if making it easier to react will lead to at least some feedback, light in depth as it might be.

And we'll continue to experiment to see if we can improve the depth while still making it easy. A quick-hit feedback text box is a good idea. We'll play around with that.

The cookie usage notices is a requirement for companies based in the EU - doing analytics as we are does require tracking at some level, we can probably do better.

We just reset the HN import from the API today for launch - it should grow longer over time. We'll look at going backwards though that isn't supported by the official API afaik. You're right we do need to improve how we sort them so it matches HN more closely - right now it sorts by day, and the top stories in that day.
>> there are more people willing to do that job that doesn't require much skill

There are more people able to do that job that doesn't require much skill. Additionally, for any given job (especially high-skill jobs), it also much more likely for able and unwilling people to become willing than it is for willing and unable people to become able.
Ya I like that better too. I'd like to see us move beyond a world of artificial scarcity to one where everyone's basic needs are met and people can focus on self-actualization. If people want a mansion, great, they can work for it. But if people want to be left alone so they can explore the meaning of life, then they should be free to do so and whatever money is used at that point should go to things that are special. Kind of a Burning Man philosophy maybe?

“(although, for many methods, it can still be bounded by amortized O(1) time)”

I don’t follow this. Does it mean that you can build the perfect hash table in constant time? Surely you can’t beat linear.
I doubt that 65nm would be able to beat a GPU (which are all 16nm class or better) at the task however. If you make an ASIC but if the $3000 Titan V is more power efficient anyway, then you've wasted your time and money.

65nm and other "old node" designs primarily are about mass-manufacturing a design. They probably can beat an FPGA in cost and margins once mass produced. But for performance and power-efficiency, you gotta be way better. Maybe 28nm or 22nm class or better to beat the GPUs (or even standard CPUs like EPYC and the SHA256 accelerators built into it)

Also, you gotta beat your competition. If someone else makes a 10nm-class BTC ASIC (https://techcrunch.com/2018/01/31/samsung-confirms-asic-chip...), then your 28nm or 22nm design is obsolete.

I hope HN had its top section carved out for some of the latest show HN entries. Kind of like how when you search on Google, the top entries are "sponsored links", but instead of sponsored links you would see latest show HN entries.

Sure there is a "show" menu item but who really clicks on that?

Which means most of us only find out about show HN projects ONLY IF they come up to the front page, or if we're constantly scanning the /newest page.

I've seen a lot of interesting projects just get buried for no reason. You could say "just keep posting until it gets traction", but anyone who's built and posted something on HN knows this is really stressful and easier said than done, because most people--no matter how much they believe in their own project--don't want to spam the site they like.
But who defines what "organic" means and who verifies that food labeled "organic" actually is?

History has shown that absent any regulation and enforcement, if buyers want "organic" labels on their food, sellers will put "organic" labels on food regardless of what the food contains. Antibiotics and hormones? Pesticides? Those things are organic, under some definitions of the word.
Minesweeper has an interesting metagame that gets lost with these "improvements". The metagame is played over many boards and the goal is to get the fastest record. Part of doing that efficiently is quickly identifying boards that require guesses, and immediately making those guesses (to avoid wasting time on the board when that time could be spent on a different board).
I think they aren't stating well what makes the work grueling. It's not about the weight of the items, it's about the systems amazon uses to grade/rate the workers.

I've worked plenty of menial jobs, and the ones that just killed me inside were the ones that had extremely strict rules that eliminated my agency as a human. Unloading bricks for landscaping work? Hard labor, but mentally fantastic and I was only judged on how hard the other workers thought I was working, which as a human is easy to pick up on socially. Working on a food assembly line where I was judged on my placement & speed of a repetitive physical action? Almost debilitating stress and exhaustion.

Combining menial work with piles of stress is what creates physically & psychologically draining work that a night of sleep wont recover you from.

"User-friendly" doesn't have to mean "user-empowering", just that it can be used without too much effort. In fact, all examples (that I can think of) of OS UX changes that were supposedly made to be more user-friendly, took away power/choice/features from users. From Windows 10 to OS X.

In the world of Linux DEs, allowing the user to change the DE is considered a "power-user" feature. Sounds quite the opposite of "user-friendly", doesn't it?
I think its time that instead of reporting "what percentage of a made up number of people have jobs", and instead report "salary percentiles". 5% unemployment isn't that great if 50% of the people have a $24k/year job, and if that number is 5% of only 40% of the population because everyone else gave up.

This seems controversial, but my original point stands. If Apple believes they may be liable for providing access to Telegram, then maybe that's why they removed it in the first place.
