The claim can probably be supported by rationalization. Google gets more applications than Harvard because applying has a minimum zero cost. Harvard has a non-zero cost due to application fees. So one scenario is that Google gets many many times more resumes from around the world per hired position than Harvard gets applications per academic admission leading to Google to have a higher rejection rate. Another scenario is that Google simply that Google receives so many more applications than Harvard does applications that Google simply does not hire a greater absolute number of applicants than Harvard does not admit.

So basically, not really true at all since Google also has more employees than Harvard has students...and has employees that don't require a US visa, and so on.

HN readers regularly miss the point of Ben's posts. I admit I'm a bit of a fanboy but sometimes I wonder if this audience just doesn't "get" Stratechery. Ben doesn't really care about Qualcomm here. It's just a poster child for what in his view is actually wrong: technology patents. Let me quote for those who skimmed:

"There is a certain amount of irony here: the government is intervening in the private market to stop the sale of a company that is being bought because of government-granted monopolies. Sadly, I doubt it will occur to anyone in government to fix the problem at its root, and Qualcomm would be the first to fight against the precise measures — patent overhaul — that would do more than anything to ensure the company remains independent and incentivized to spend even more on innovation, because its future would depend on innovation to a much greater degree than it does now.

The reality is that technology has flipped the entire argument for patents — that they spur innovation — completely on its head. The very nature of technology — that costs are fixed and best maximized over huge user-bases, along with the presence of network effects — mean there are greater returns to innovation than ever before. The removal of most technology patents would not reduce the incentive to innovate; indeed, given that a huge number of software patents in particular are violated on accident (unsurprising, given that software is ultimately math), their removal would spur more. And, as Qualcomm demonstrates, one could even argue such a shift would be good for national security."

IMO this is the more controversial claim he makes and nobody discusses it. I think I am in favor but I'm no legal expert. We just take it on faith that the patent system is the way the world works, but what if it's only the way the world -used to- work?

You're absolutely right. We should be encouraging density to save energy and be ecologically friendly. What's most wonderful is that we don't even need any new technologies to do it!

It may be possible that this is something of a politically difficult problem in many areas, though. Until San Francisco actually allows itself to become a real city, we may be stuck looking at workarounds. It's very, very, very far from ideal. Exactly as you say. But it may be the best we can do for now.

I hate that formula as well, but in this case the misconception is still a standard narrative that gets repeated over and over again, even in classrooms. And it's true that specialists who know better have not been aggressive about correcting it, probably because they assume the updated view is already widespread and the misunderstanding is just lingering in the popular imagination. But it's not just lingering! It's actively repeated in academic contexts, maybe not by academics in directly related fields but definitely in fields one step removed, because the specialists are not spreading the word.

I wouldn't be surprised if this also has something to do with the fact that (as the article points out) the outdated view got baked into the foundations of a lot of progressive political ideologies, and archaeologists simply don't want to poke that hornets' nest.

No it's not. You're conflating "it was terminated" with "it was designed with termination in mind". It's a fact that it was terminated, true, but this doesn't necessarily mean that it was designed with termination in mind. For all we know, it may have been designed with every intention of continuing IRC/XMPP support until yesterday when an executive decision suddenly said otherwise. Now, I don't believe that, but that doesn't matter: the fact that it was terminated is not the fact that it was designed with termination in mind.
It does apply. People will circumvent systems.

while it's true that usually, you need to understand the basics of CS to write good functional code, we've often found that that doesn't need to be 100% correct.

we've placed a good amount of functional engineers from a Math, Physics, Logic sometimes even Biology background that had a strong affinity for functions and found OOP generally painful.

I think it's that functional programming is more of a niche with an even more disparity between demand/supply regarding the salaries.

Oh, and usually HR people have a pretty bad filter when it comes to functional engineers, so they only filter by keywords

Trade policy is one of the few areas where I agreed with Trump. I still couldn't vote for him because of his narcissism and his racism, but now that he's president I do hope that he pushes back against China.

Our trade policies with China are grossly unfair and I agree that they are effectively self-sacrificial. China is extremely protectionist and economically nationalistic, and is benefiting greatly by playing this off against America's openness and globalism. We keep expecting them to come around and play our game, but as has become apparently with recent political shifts in China (no more term limits, etc.) they aren't and they won't. They're not playing the globalist game. They're playing for their own national interests.

Just be careful about how you quantify, the energy needed to overcome that drag ratio will presumably be delivered far more efficiently via electric moters, since they'll not be throwing 2/3rds of the energy away as heat.

So an electric plane could be twice as inefficient in other ways (e.g. extra weight for batteries) and still come out ahead overall. And that's before taking carbon and pollution into account.

Well, the flip side of your argument is that since "his inputs are only time," then he only has a fixed amount of time to make money from. Whereas, as long as the car dealer can sell every car he buys, he just has to keep buying cars in order to increase his revenues. Clearly there's more to both of these statements than that, but that's the point!

In any case, roel_v is pointing out that revenue isn't a very good metric without more data to evaluate it.

To play devil's advocate, it's possible to get a lot of those features in vim, see

- https://valloric.github.io/YouCompleteMe/

- https://github.com/kien/ctrlp.vim

- etc

Anything else can quite easily be added via more plugins or by using a terminal multiplexer like tmux or screen (or a more complicated terminal like terminator, iTerm2, etc

I use vim/tmux exclusively for my development, and while I don't use Java, I don't feel that I'm missing features that my coworkers running atom/vscode/etc have. I will admit that stepping through a debugger might be a bit harder, but I seem to find a few debugger plugins around, so I'm guessing someone has solved that.

> I don't get how it is physically possible that this plane is energy efficient?

Energy efficiency is not all or none - it's a question of how efficient it is. Whichever way you dice it, the final result of the combination of energy density, thrust, weight lift, drag, is a plane is efficient enough to have a claimed range of 100km. If it were more efficient, it would have a longer range.
> Is WASM support in the cards?

Heck yeah. We almost get it for free with V8, except that the default WebAssembly API is designed around dynamically loading code at runtime, whereas we want to make sure that all code we run is uploaded strictly through the config UI/API and is available for forensics. So basically we just need to build a way to upload WebAssembly blobs and import them.
I think it helps you gain a quick perspective on what's actually out there, especially in case you missed something in your curriculum. I personally found the Java EE chapter a better introduction than the official starting documentation from Oracle, with fewer buzzwords and more actual information. The Object orientation chapter feels a little out of place to me, though; hardly anyone with a degree in IT wouldn't know about it. Overall, not reference material but a good intro, although it's somewhat outdated and the fact it was put together from individual essays leaks through.

If the merger had gone through, and national security was a concern, I'd imagine someone could make good, reliable money by manufacturing chips in the US for the government at a small scale.

Yes. Cloudflare is, among other things, a CDN, and can do that. With Workers it becomes an exceptionally powerful and configurable CDN, as we actually expose an API to control the behavior of our caching systems to your Worker.
I would approach this as a Venn Diagram. One side is computer programming, the other side is your wife's intrinsic interests. I will assume that your wife enjoys photography.

Have her program a solution that allows her to solve her own problem. For example, have her write a server script when a SMS image message is sent via Twilo, it will take that image and display it on your Raspberry Pi digital photo frame on your living room wall.

Little projects like that make in enormously easy to have momentum when learning for the first time.

Unless you're strapped for cash, I would avoid learning "for the market" at first. Since if you put React/Angular in front of my face when I first started programming.

I would say "What's the point?". I didn't understand the problem they were solving,until I had a problem that they solved.
Looking at that bug, one problem with implementing the nonstandard "mousewheel" event is that the browsers that implement it have different behavior in terms of what the delta value means, so sites using it tend to do browser sniffing to decide how to handle it. Which means implementing it is likely to break sites unless you exactly match the UA string and behavior of some other browser.

Given that, and given that Firefox does support the per-standard "wheel" event, what is the argument for implementing "mousewheel"?
Wow there are all kinds of strained comparisons here as the other comment mentions.

One, comparing one of the most fuel efficient ASEL aircraft compared against one of the least fuel efficient passenger vehicle categories. Nobody uses pickup trucks for taxis. Nobody uses large SUVs unless you specifically request them (and they typically have a surcharge).

> Once it is in cruise mode, it is as safe as a regular small aircraft.

Well landing and taking off are the two most dangerous phases of flight. "Once you ignore the two most dangerous phases of operation, operation is as safe as you'd expect."

Not to mention that small aircraft/general aviation is not safe. Most life insurance excludes it. If you're under 140 hours TT and not instrument rated, life insurance that explicitly includes GA is prohibitively expensive (I received a quote at 80 TT and pre-IR for nearly $300/mo for a 10 year term on an otherwise healthy 30 year old male, comparable policies with a GA exclusion are $10-12/mo).

The most optimistic figures put GA roughly on par with riding a motorcycle without a helmet.

> An easy target for making these at scale would be $500,000 per aircraft.

Look up the cost of a new Diamond DA-20 or Robinson R44. There is no way you can build one of these things for less than $750k+ at cost so you're going to need to sell them at 1.5-2x that or more. And that's at scale.

And speaking of scale, what do you think the market for these things is? You're not going to be selling millions of them. Cessna sells a shitload of planes compared to the rest of the industry and they sell one factory new plane a week, almost exclusively to large institutional flight schools.

> Operating costs at scale, max $100/hr

I know "lol" is code for "I breathed through my nose a little louder," but this actually did make me laugh. Operating costs will be the 2-3 times this at scale. And 5x+ now.

I fly a single-engine plane with over 30,000 units in production (PA-28-181). They're everywhere. The lower HP version is a very popular trainer aircraft, and as such need to have low costs of ownership and maintenance, and high reliability. I fly this plane as part of a non-profit club and still pay $100/mo and $100/hr to fly a 45 year old plane with no autopilot, steam gauges and a carbureted engine.

I work at a VC firm and can second this. It's not terribly important for B2B companies, though it rarely hurts. But it's pretty important for B2C/Ecommerce companies. Customers don't grade on a curve and the bar for minimally acceptable design is pretty high these days. If your deck doesn't signal to the investors that you have strong design/branding instincts, be prepared for a tough sale.
It is noteworthy that Cloudflare's CEO thought it was inherently wrong that he could effectively take a website off the Internet that he didn't like.

That's, at least, a massively better position on censorship than many other web companies, like Google, who explicitly believes they should remove websites they don't like from the Internet.

Once this becomes practical with regulations worked out, there will likely be more people who choose to live in Napa Valley, Stockton, or Sacramento and commute to San Francisco or Palo Alto.

Real estate prices in those places might be affected a bit.

The same with New Jersey and Manhattan. What are some other areas that this might be the case?

Once the direction becomes clearer, perhaps someone should start an REIT with a focus on arbitraging transportation revolution.
Maybe there’s some benefit to encouraging people to concentrate in urban areas. The US specifically is already ruined by urban sprawl. Making long commutes easier may just threaten the last remnant of pristine nature remaining.

Apart from ecological concerns, there are also social trade-offs: flying cars may allow you to get to work. But they do not facilitate the social interaction that comes from strolling down Main Street, having a coffee, and interacting with people you may meet.
