> So it seems pretty obvious that for many couples, the woman (who generally earns less, and also usually breastfeeds) will take all/more leave and stay home, while the man will get back to work so their finances don't take too much of a hit.

Why should that be our expectation? The career penalty is a tax on mothers and a subsidy for fathers. That such inequity is normalized is why "adjusting" the gender gap does not solve it.

Cryptography works, but the implementations are frequently flawed.

Sure, was the same thing for my AMD FX cpu.

Edit: I bought a cheaper cpu on Amazon and after the BIOS update for the new CPU I sent it back.
I suppose having zero money is better than having negative money (i.e. debt). I wonder how many have a negative net worth?

MIT had a similar course on edX and that one was brutal as well (Computational Probability and Inference). I guess nobody figured out how to teach it the easy way.
On the other hand, some places offer discounts for cash, since they don't have to pay the credit card fee on the transaction.
Khan Academy filled the gaps from my inconsistent public schooling (moved a lot as a kid). Used to think I was just dumb (I might still be lol), but turns out missing some of the early math concepts is extremely destructive to later learning. Fill the gaps and everything else becomes so much easier.

I hear tell Sal Khan is hiding out in the Bay Area somewhere, really wish I'd bump into him in a bar so I can grab his tab or something. Dude's a hero to me.

> Pay as little as you can get away with on those medical bills during treatment. Then sort it all out in bankruptcy court.

That sounds like a good strategy anyway, since you can't ever be sure a procedure will fix a problem, even if it should, so future expenses are a fairly open question.

You don't have a lot of options if after your first medical solution you've paid everyone in full and are out of money but the problem isn't resolved, but frugal rationing of payments might mean you have quite a few tries before your funds are exhausted (even if you've left a trail of partially paid bills).

Unfortunately, I imagine the length of time involved means it's probably tricky to prevent past bills being reported as debt that might affect future actions.
It isn't even the Keynsian model!

People misinterprete it to this basterdized version a lot though.

The real Keynsian model is that we should spend more in bad times and LESS in good times to even out business cycles.

People always forget that second part...

It was NEVER about spending for the sake of spending or wasting money on things that we don't need to help the "economy".

People misinterpret it to the point where they believe the economy is some infinite motion machine, where you ad more motion and even more motion comes out.
I requested a contactless card in the US, it took some pleading, but it was the greatest decision.

About half the places I shop support Apple and Google pay, and those systems always seem to take the card, but it's far faster than my phone or watch.

Way faster than chip, of course.

No idea why it didn't take off here, contactless cards have been the best experience for me by a mile.

Maybe people have had better luck with phone payments, but the negotiations with those seem glacial to me now.
Yeah. I have a couple cards that don't have [foreign transaction] fees but they're both cards I pay for aimed at frequent travelers. I think I pay a fee with any of my free cards. As you say, I expect a lot of casual tourists just feel more comfortable paying cash--even if that does get into the whole "what the heck is this coin anyway?"

The ECB interest rates have already been negative since 2014. I'm pretty sure that if there was no risk of a bank run, banks would follow by also setting their interest rates to be negative.
Strongly agreed. I've had a fairly long career and worked in dozens of languages. Languages like Crystal (staticly typed, but with strong type inference that makes them feel like a dynamic language) feel like they're from 10 years in the future. Using languages from the ML-family (OCaml, F#, Haskell, Purescript, Elm, Idris, Agda) makes me feel like I've gone 25 years into the future and been set down in front of a computer. Especially watching Idris write my program for me just based on the type signatures. That blows my mind every time it works (which it often does).

It used to be 1 course, they've split it into 3 parts for commercial reasons I suppose.
Volunteer. Find something that's not technical but you could see yourself enjoying, and commit to doing it once a week for 6 months. Serving food at a homeless shelter, taking care of animals at the humane society, picking up trash in local parks, helping organize youth events. Don't do something technical, since you'll just feel like "I should be working on my company or consulting to make money." Anecdotally, when there are no dollars attached to the activity, you don't fall into the "it's a waste of my talent, I could be making money to live off" (I wash dishes as part of my volunteer gig, and actually find I really enjoy it - as one of my friends said, "you couldn't pay me to do this kind of work"). But there's a lot of literature that supports that volunteering can make you happier and help deal with social isolation.

I live in a sleepy town in the SF Bay Area, and am exactly the same - there are days where I just don't talk to anybody. I don't feel anxious, but I feel kinda empty or lonely. I don't always want to go into the city because it's a hike, and I'm not sure what'd I'd do when I get there anyway. I found a volunteer organization that I go to two days per week, and have made friends and now occasionally hang out with them outside of the volunteer setting. The impersonal nature of HN and reddit made it a suboptimal replacement for actual face-to-face contact. Not to mention I find it more pleasant to spend some of my time not surrounded by startup and the tech world.

Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, HSBC, LIBOR for christ sake. If anything the private sector has proven that they will do their best to fleece main street to line their pockets.
Hmm, I like this point, but is that blackmail or more just "the system?"
The difference is one of semantics; of course all interpreted languages depend on their interpreter environment, but for some reason they do not always actually put it inside of their dependency tree a la package.json, requirements.txt, etc.

The reason this is so natural for Clojure is that it's a hosted language; the standard library & language itself is decoupled from the runtime platform (JVM).

With Clojure, it's actually funny to think that I have projects on my hard drive that use 3-4 different versions of clojure (not even counting various versions of clojurescript!), without any issues. Doing this with, say, Node.js requires a lot of extra ceremony.
This is my reasoning, as well.
What could go wrong with remote control technology over our important military assets? Of course the answer is a lot, especially in wartime. For all the paranoid people thinking that the military or police or whatever US security service will take over the country in a secret coup, the people who make up those forces are an important bulwark against tyranny from within or without.

It's very dangerous to be a pilot and a soldier but as a software engineer I don't know how I could ever feel safe in a world without people making decisions about how to use weapons.
I meant it more as: you need both. (At least I'm not suggesting people shouldn't care--can't speak for the GP, RMS and JPB, but I suspect they also still care[d]--and you always can care.) When you've spent large portions of your life advocating for digital liberty and software freedom only to see it decimated in both the public and private sectors in favor of convenience & control, it probably makes you a bit jaded. And you wonder if you missed something. Where the battle stands today, at least in my opinion, is with convincing people that their life is better with these freedoms, not as much that these issues exist.

My point was simply that we can't skip the stable society part and sit in an ivory tower of activism.
You have a lot of mature software available for that task.
Levandowski got $120M through acquisition, not salary as an engineer, did he not?

Anyway, there was an old article about top salaries at Google that speculated Jeff making $3M/yr [1].

Jeff also angel invested in Teleport, which got acquired [2]. And his wife and him also have a philanthropy foundation that recently donated $1M to MIT [3] (to promote diversity).

Any more recent employee stock options he gained and past IPO returns could obviously vary significantly depending on percentages, length of time, etc. But I'd be surprised if it was as high as $500M...

But firing comments from the hip derails discussion even worse by making everyone discuss whatever obvious knee-jerk reaction there is to the article. It's regularly the top comment thread where people are essentially arguing a straw man. And people have to scroll through hundreds of comments to get to the next thread so they receive far less attention.

It's HN's worst aspect.
Desperately Seeking Squircles
I got bitwig as soon as it came out. It does some things fantastically! The apt-like package manager is badass. I haven't tried again in about a year but every time I've used it the massive instability reminds me of mediocre DAWs that drove me to live in 2003.

The reason I went with bitwig was to support anyone doing anything that wasn't quite Live because everything is made with Ableton now and I can hear it. Also the collaborative features that didn't work when I last tried them. Moving to Supercollider has solved all those issues for me. It's also cross platform and free.
I had seen the trend, via tech news, from some years ago, of Google hiring many top CS people. They might even have the largest number of such people of any company in the world, maybe except for a few other possible toppers like IBM or Microsoft? Just guessing here, based on some anecdata.

And while I'm guessing, let me add a bit of imagining :) I used to, and still wish, that Google or a company like it would come out with a RAD GUI app creation tool like Delphi (of course better is fine too) and make it cheap or free to use to develop GUI apps with (and then keep supporting and developing it, and not make a mess of it like Borland/Inprise/CodeGear did - at least their management did or seems to have done, based on news read over the years). They definitely have the brainpower / bandwidth for doing such a product. But instead they are web-and-mobile-only (or mostly, AFAIK), unfortunately.

> Jennifer Widom, Databases, Stanford. This is not the flashiest of a topic, but oh boy was it well organized.

Couldn't agree more. I took this course in 2011 but didn't have a need for working with databases until 2014. Three years after I took the course I was able to jump in and work fluently on databases -- Mongo, Sqlite, Firebase, etc. The least I can say is the course helped me internalize database concepts.

This course has the right amount of handholding yet challenges you enough so you acquire long-lasting skills.
> Your example is basically akin to a scenario where you frequently order dessert at your favorite restaurant, then decide you want to lose weight, never tell anyone you want to lose weight, then get upset when the server brings you the dessert menu.

Except for the part where he said "if I tell you I would like to lose weight and improve my diet"? So not like the "never tell anyone" part at all?

What he's describing is more like a system which learns "most people who research and buy diet stuff end up failing and going back to the ice cream and junk food, so let's start aggressively targeting them with unhealthy crap once they start looking up diets."

That may be accurate regarding behavior and revenue maximization, but it's also pretty shitty.
You could be comparing apples and grapefruits here.

It has been reported that Tesla makes a lot of thier own parts. So more of the total supply chain for manufacturing the car exists in that plant.

For example Tesla manufacturers thier own motor in the plant were the NUMMI plant would have had thier ICE motors pre-assembled.
Yeah, marketing is tricky because there's so many model numbers and configurations.

The most important tidbit about "TDP" is that its "THERMAL design power", not actual power draw. So strictly speaking, TDP measures the size of the heatsink needed to keep the CPU functional.

This means that different chips, even with the same TDP, offer grossly different power consumption rates. Besides, every chip's actual power draw is slightly different, even chips of the same design (see "binning" and "silicon lottery").

-----------

When you understand how chips are made, then you see why things get complicated. Its a well known fact that the entire AMD Zen series uses only two die designs: Zeppelin, and a 2nd design with the iGPU.

That's right, the singular "Zeppelin" design covers AMD EPYC, AMD Ryzen3, 5, 7, and Threadripper (1900X, 1920X, 1950X).

How?? The difference between the dies is in "binning". If one or two cores are broken because of manufacturing defects, AMD sells it as a Ryzen 5 (6-core model) instead of the Ryzen7 (8-core model).

Very broken designs (3 or 4 broken cores) are sold as a Ryzen3 (4-core model). But when manufactured, these are all 8-core chips.

Between chips with full functionality between all eight-cores, some will be able to reach higher clocks than others. The 8-core designs are tested, and the ones that reach the highest clocks are 1800X, and the ones that reach the lowest clocks are sold as a 1700.

And that's how ONE design gets turned into 10 different SKUs sold to the customer. Because the manufacturing process is innately variable.

-------

Intel is known to bin for power-efficiency, high clocks and so forth. The marketing is a way to sell "broken chips" to people who don't care as much about high speeds or low-power draw.
I wonder which new features a site that is basically pictures/videos with threaded comments needs, since it already does that.
I would say "great"... but also, "Why bother?" You did compare iPad Pro and iOS to alternatives, no? Main computer and all that?

The point is "main computer" means main... not secondary or ancillary to my main computer. Your average person does not have a need for several thousands of dollars worth of screens, and would be much better off with a laptop vs. iPad pro. Furthermore, the premise of this "experiment" is extreme navel gazing.

"Hey look at me everybody! I bought a device for almost a thousand dollars then spent a lot more on apps, then wasted a shit pile of time for a gimped UX that sort-of works! You can do it too! Just get your check book out and be prepared to buy another laptop and/or VPS space because you'll need it!"
The problem is, you seem to be making a blanket statement about the theoretical possibility of prediction and suggestion rather than arguing against the limitations of current predictive systems.

It's simply that current recommendation/prediction systems have incomplete information. In this case an explicit goal or preference is not stated by the users. In the absence of explicit preference statements, a recommendation system can only act based on the behaviors it measures.

The purpose of my life's work is to align revealed preferences with stated preferences, to determine optimal action. The majority of systems are confounded because 1. They don't ask for preferences and 2. People state preferences (signaling) that are not aligned with their true beliefs.

The problem is the trust thing, not the telemetry thing.

Yes, exactly, and trust is hard to earn but easily lost. Given the corporate philosophy of Nadella's Microsoft, and the fact that Nadella was made CEO in the first place when it was pretty clear what style of leader he was going to be, I don't see Microsoft ever regaining the kind of trust we used to place in it without fundamental changes that start at the highest levels. And sadly, as long as investors continue to buy into that vision, those changes are highly unlikely.

It's not often I feel so strongly about a business, but Microsoft's actions in recent years almost feel like a personal betrayal after being being their customer for so long and trusting them as a keystone of the tech industry. In this case, I really do regard them as "the enemy" now, and I really do hope that someone else will drive a wedge through a gap created by their customer-hostile strategy with painful and expensive consequences for their management and investors.
I wouldn't say Missoula is far off into the woods, but maybe that's just where you want to be; sorry if I misunderstood you.

I think about remote work drying up often, but I think if remote work dried up for me it would mean there was a major shift in the industry, so I don't think anyone would be safe from that.

Being near an urban center would mean that you could possibly pound the pavement for a new job in a major city a lot easier. If the industry changes massively, will being near an urban center mean there will still be a lot of jobs there? Maybe? Maybe not.

Can someone recommend a good way to work with other students on MOOCs? I've taken many courses, but they aren't much better than just reading the textbook and working on a personal project, although the curation of content is valuable.

The relationship aspect is sorely missing from online courses. If there was an easy way to have a classroom setting with highly motivated peers each following the MOOC with a collaborative environment, then I would definitely want to sign up. You say that's what college is for? Well I've already graduated, signing up for random college classes is extremely expensive and the peer group is highly variable.

Right off the bat it appears that user account info lives outside the custom styling of each subreddit, this is a good thing and creates consistency for access to my stuff.

Secondly it looks like each subreddit gets to decide which view works best for the content of that subreddit. /r/askscience will benefit from a compact view, while /r/pics would benefit from a card view. As long as I'm able to change the default and have it stick next time i access that subreddit, I'm all for this.

They probably wouldn't need to ask for this. They can just combine public data sets with the SAT scores to come up with a rough, adjusted estimate.

But that's assuming they'd even want to correct for any of the aforementioned biases. I doubt they care because their employees wouldn't care.
