You can turn the clock back. And this is how you start.

You have to create the economic incentives to have a manufacturing base. Without that foundation, nothing else works.
It’s already solidified.
Recessions are usually identified by NBER long after they start (and sometimes after they are over.)

Lead contamination in school water supplies is a particularly pernicious, under-addressed, and improperly diagnosed problem, happening right here in California - with significant downstream developmental health consequences for children.

An SF-based group Measure Water is fighting for a solution to the problem, starting with getting schools to correctly examine their water.

I'm friends with the founder and she'd welcome anyone interested in helping to reach out at team@measurewater.org
No link, but at least they give enough information to search for it. I think it must be this one: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-03162-7
I'll just paste the same thing I said the last time someone said 'this reminds me of smoot-hawley'[1]:

> Some differences between the two being that Smoot-Hawley broadly applied tariffs to tens of thousands of products from most countries in the midst of a major economic depression in an attempt to help out American farmers and other related industries.

The word "recession" has many definitions (depends on who you ask), but in the US we tend to defer to the NBER.

>The NBER defines an economic recession as: "a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales."[1]

GDP was up 2.6% last quarter[2], so no, we're not in a recession. A stock market dip does not a recession make.

It'd be nice if we could just build more housing, rather than hope for a painful recession to drop prices.
"Yes I am over 18".
Right, but store forwarding is definitely not 2 cycles. 4 and 5 cycles is common for store forwarding although other values are possible. So I think Agner measured 4 cycles and divided it as 2 for the load and 2 for the store. For pure loads the latency is easy to measure and often widely reported and it's 4 cycles minimum for Intel.

Are you implying that "right of the people" implies that it is not an individual right?

> First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the __right of the people__ peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Does that mean that first amendment is not an individual right to free speech, press or religion?

> Fourth Amendment: The __right of the people__ to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

How about now? You don't have the individual right against unreasonable searches and seizures?

> Ninth amendment: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained __by the people__.

Again, the 9th amendment which claims that there are rights outside of constitution and they are retained by the people, just because they are not written in the constitution. Are these all the 'right of the states'??

Or my favorite one, the tenth amendment:

> The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or __to the people__.

Here, it uses "the states" and "the people" separately. Clearly if second amendment meant it is a right of the states to keep and bear arms, then it would have mentioned it so, and not said "right of the people".
This is going to upset a lot of developers who expect the boom to last forever. A ton of people think they’re on the same side as senior management because they get paid better than average and have been able to get better working conditions; very few people in management share this view.

The brilliant thing was getting so many to buy into libertarian propaganda and actively fight against things like unionization or labor laws which would reduce the power imbalance.
I'd argue that there are some conditional factors here and they largely revolve around human capital. In fields with a very small number of people with prior experience, throwing money at the problem won't necessarily accelerate the path as fast as one where there are a large number of qualified people to tackle the problem.

This said, continuing to throw money at a problem such that it leads to more and more people developing a skill set in the space would overtime help, but then again, they could reduce the amount of investment down the line, and you'd still have people who were highly specialized in said domain to target that problem anyways (abet being paid less).
Condensing water requires 2.265 MJ/kg, go figure how viable this is.
We, Programmers, are Gardeners
> Is there a task left which can't be done by computers better and faster than by humans?

Are you serious? You think we're done?
The same way it's done in kindergartens around the world? They say "write me a story about your family" or "draw your family tree." So ok: "write me a program that is somehow relevant to your life."

Imagine you are teaching someone basic web development. The assignment is "make a webpage that displays some facts about your favorite tv show." Easy.

I can buy that it makes the grading more complicated, but coming up with assignments is not difficult.
Android always had permissions:

https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/permissi... (see "introduced in")

Many apps request the phone permission to change their behavior on incoming calls, or during calls. For example, they would stop playing audio.

Access to text messages is sometimes requested to automate text message-based one time pad flows for the user.
So you’re willing to hurt yourself as long as your enemies also suffer? That’s... quite sad?

But in any case: power today derives far more from other’s willingness to do what you want without being paid or threatened. That idea is called “soft power”, and it’s really how the US managed to lead the free world after WW2. Hollywood and the WTO did so well that all the hatred you got for Vietnam etc. didn’t cause any lasting damage.

Those alliances are obviously gone now. With China now taking the lead even in free trade and climate change mitigation, the US is losing its seat at the table.

You have been 'busy' all this while( even if it's a sabbatical). That's important, that is what you need to project to your potential companies on your application.

Create a personal website(if you don't have one) and put up your personal projects that project you in a positive light. Github is also great.

When a company receives a resume, there's no way to quantify and judge what the candidate has done in the past year. Give them something to think about.

I have marked Cybercoders as spam and you should too. They lazily bombard you with irrelevant jobs. There are other tech recruiting firms(Bay Area and LA) that have better reach and more understanding of candidates profiles. LinkedIn is great for networking and reaching out to recruiters and seeking out referrals.

Mark up your sabbatical period on your resume. Write in there "Traveled the world exploring new cultures, worked on personal projects, taught myself new skills to grow forward." Mention a supporting online link in this section.
Nothing to hide here IMO

On your website, you can write down experiences you gained in detail, while working on your open source projects, what you learnt. This is a huge plus. Many candidates send in resumes without a proof of their past projects. You already got this, try to work it into an interview call + offer.
Since interest rates are positive now, The number of jobs is currently controlled by the fed. The stronger labor demand is, the more they raise interest rates, thereby reducing job creation. So all of these make work programs, like the huge military spending boost, are currently just leading to higher interest rates and prices and shifting workers from one industry to another. Specifically it will shift workers out of export production and construction, because higher interest rates hurt our exports and construction. No job creation, more expensive products and homes. Thanks.
Fortunately these tariffs are pretty insignificant: 50 billion worth of stuff is not that much for us, although it might be for certain cities in China and the precedent is bad.
Wheel of Reincarnation (Jargon File Entry)
I would not be comfortable making such assumptions on the topologies of fitness functions in high-dimensional spaces. I think it was not so long ago when I read an article here at HN about how weird the high dimensional spaces are, but can't find that quickly.

Further, the mindboggling size of the high-dimensional spaces make me all but guaranteed that not a single non-trivial neural network made by homo sapiens has ever been in global maxima. But I have nothing but my hunch on this.
I've read (see [1]) that humans have a low-light ability that approximates ISO 60,000, a pretty large value and larger than simple video cameras provide. However, very high end pro/enthusiast SLR's go considerably higher, see this real-time astrophotography with the Sony a7s at ISO 409,600 (youtube video [2]). The same Sony will work great in full sunlight too.

The Canon ME20F-SH is a video camera reaches ISO 4,000,000. This camera has a dynamic range of 12 stops and is available at B&H for $20,000. [4]

Of course, this isn't exactly the challenge that cameras face when assessing a scene. The dynamic range happens within a single scene all at the same time. Wide dynamic range (WDR) is the term I've seen used in describing video cameras that can handle both bright and dim areas within the same scene.

Only if companies perceive this as stable. It might take 10-20 years to pay off the investment of moving manufacturing to the US.

I'm also a TA for the class mentioned in this article. We teach Git and have a submission system where students submit patches based on skeleton code; students are required to make at least five commits. We still have a significant number of students who copy code, and while it does help with picking up on that kind of behavior those students also don't seem to care about the increased cost and will pad their commits anyway.
I'd love to read an article about what people actually ate before those staples arrived.

An amusing side note: I read about an analysis showing that Stradivarius used a red pigment from America in some of his violins. I doubt it had an effect on the tone, but it's just interesting to see what kind of trade was occurring.
I'm not sure what you're suggesting. Software that is suitable for critical work today might not be tomorrow.

Then there's the option of buying lightly used battery packs like a single module from a Tesla.

That's $690 for 3kWh that is all assembled, tested, cooling is taken care of, BMS included, individually fused cells as well as a 100A fuse on the entire pack. That's not too shabby, slap an inverter and a charger on that pack and you've got yourself a somewhat decent diy powerwall for like $1100 bucks.

I'd echo this, the old IBM redundancies weren't necessarily bad for the recipients. My uncle got made redundant by IBM in the 90's having spent his whole career there from university.

He got a pretty good severance package and pension, which he's now been able to draw for 25+ years...
It doesn't hurt current home owners as long as they are not over leveraged. It doesn't necessarily help people without houses either. When there is a recession, credit could dry up. Most people in the US can't afford to buy without a mortgage. The solution to a housing crisis isn't a recession; it's more housing and better transportation. A recession hurts everyone and often hurts the poor harder than it hurts the wealthy.

Essentially, variation comes from many other sources than random mutation on DNA. Random mutation itself is seen as mostly a bad source of variation, leading to destruction of the genome.
From my personal perspective, the main potential impact of this trade war probably won't be my programming career, but the "Middle America" farm that's in our family.

One of our crops is soybeans. China loves US soybeans. (https://www.agweb.com/article/will-chinas-hunger-for-us-soyb...) US soybean exports are one of the obvious targets of any trade war with China. Artificially reduced demand (due to what is in effect a, um, regulation) doesn't seem like really good news if you grow soybeans, right?

The consensus in the media is that it is actually the manufacturing / resource / agriculture states (eg: the "red states") who will be hurt the most by tariffs (eg, articles like this: http://money.cnn.com/2018/03/05/news/economy/trade-war-red-s...). Professional opinion wise, I searched and actually couldn't find an economist who had anything positive to say about tariffs (if someone can find one, I'd love to read the link, but it's pretty telling that the overall sentiment is that negative). So right now, I'm not sure at the moment what long-term benefits you are thinking of. Political or strategic, maybe?
If you want to lay blame at a single aspect of American government as you have, I think it's more fair to blame a two party system and cultural emphasis on wedge issues (abortion, gun control, gay rights, etc).
I'm confused. The fix for grading homework is to grade homework?

I doubt the reasons for these periods of protectionism were economical. Most of these countries had (and still have) companies which are very closely intertwined with the government. Protectionism ensured that these companies would keep their market share and that the government and its sponsors could keep their (economic) power. Once they could compete internationally these protections were reduced. However for the consumer an immediate opening of the borders would most likely have been better, with the difference that most of the economic decisions would then be made by foreigners and with less influence by the government.

A very important point is that you mostly don't need to buy a new computer. Chances are a lot of teens already own perfectly good x86 computers that can do a lot of things they want and be the machines they learn to develop software on.

Thanks! 226dpi and a bit pricey though, so I'll keep an eye for next gens. 300dpi is the minimum my eyes find acceptable from a closer distance.
Depends on the location, I suppose. I generally hear good things about the California labor regulators, and I've never heard a peep about corruption there.
Can you cite these reports and indications? How does economic rebalancing affect their ability to impose tariffs? How does wanting to invest in American companies influence China’s decision on tariffs, especially since the new tariffs restrict Chinese companies from investing in American companies. Why doesn’t China have sufficient reserves? Don’t they have the highest foreign exchange reserves of any country in the world?
I have not read the Heller decision in its entirety. I do know that there are Supreme Court rulings that Heller contradicts. I do know that some legal scholars say the 2nd Amendment is poorly worded. I do know that views on how the Constitution should be interpreted have changed over time. I do know that it's not an obvious amendment. There is no such thing as we have lawyers arguing the meaning of the Constitution all the time. Nothing is very clear cut. Language is nuanced, intent is nuanced, and there are a ton of gray areas.

Ask HN: Why are many people so bad at opsec?
Because I swear, we hear about a new 'anonymous source' or darknet market owner getting identified every week or so now, and it just makes me wonder why.

Why, despite all the want for anonymity online are people so bad at keeping it going? What makes so many people trip up, even the ones whose lives and occupations rely on staying out of the public eye?

It's not like it's theoretically impossible; Satoshi Nakamoto figured it out pretty well when creating bitcoin. And surprisingly, quite a few people seem to do pretty well without trying. Like various fan game and game mod creators, some of which seem so secretive that you wonder whether they're still alive or not.

So why does everyone keep tripping up here?
It does share those limitations because physical reality requires it to! There is no technological way out. Thermodynamics asks for some amount of energy in exchange for some amount of condensed water. The amount of energy is astronomical compared to the meager amount of water.

You see the giant ass heatsink at the bottom of the image? Why do you think that exists? The water is condensing on a peltier heat pump. In a desert, to get a single bottle of water you're going to have to blow hundreds of thousands of liters of air (at perfect efficiency) over the pump. And that's for a single water bottle! Oh and this is assuming that your peltier device can get cold enough to produce a 100% humidity atmosphere. Because if it doesn't you get no water.
There is an excellent book called "The Peter Principle" that is exactly about this sort of thing. The concept it uses is that people get "promoted to their level of incompetence." In other words, you are a great programmer, so you get promoted to manager because it's a promotion. You are a so so manager. You stay there until you retire, though you would have added a lot more value as a programmer.

It has a few examples of people who managed to avoid getting promoted out of the thing they truly excelled at. One gardener had a personal quirk of failing to pick up his paychecks on time. This drove management crazy and kept him gardening instead of whatever people did who got promoted.

Another individual had an office that looked like a paperwork bomb had gone off. There were untidy stacks of paper everywhere. Management was convinced he was a disorganized mess, though he had a very efficient paperwork system wholly unrelated to the mountains of papers stacked all over the place.

I highly recommend the book. After you have read it to establish a mental framework, you might need to read up on social psychology to come up with a strategy for convincing management that promoting you out if programming is a silly idea.

Exactly. He had a view of right and wrong derived from his atheism, but it was certainly not the correct view. Hence gulags, human experimentation, etc. I know of no atheistic derivation of ethics that is actually moral. They all undermine morality because the human being is nothing special, merely a tool for the ubermensch.
But the impact of the Citizens United decision has allowed dark money to flood into U.S. political system in the form of anonymous spending from "independent" political action groups.

Dark money can be used for purposes akin to bribery since the speech of the group has been interpreted as political influence. While the money doesn't go directly to the candidate, it is used for their benefit or detriment during elections.

It just so happens that outside political spending has risen dramatically since the SCOTUS Citizens United decision in 2009.[0]
