Using services in general is de facto mandatory in our society. It's like
saying that you don't need a bank account. In theory it could fly, but you'd
be excluded from so many things that it's practically impossible.

It's even less optional if you are required to use this or that service by
your employer (e.g. company-wide Gmail).

Going back to the analogy, you don't need to eat in this particular place, but
how do you know any one you'd choose does not poison their food? By empty
promises alone?

> The ARM Advanced SIMD architecture, its associated implementations, and supporting software, are commonly referred to as NEON technology. There are NEON instruction sets for both AArch32 (equivalent to the ARMv7 NEON instructions) and for AArch64. Both can be used to significantly accelerate repetitive operations on large data sets. This can be useful in applications such as media codecs.

The NEON architecture for AArch64 uses 32 × 128-bit register, twice as many as for ARMv7. These are the same registers used by the floating-point instructions. All compiled code and subroutines conforms to the EABI, which specifies which registers can be corrupted and which registers must be preserved within a particular subroutine. The compiler is free to use any NEON/VFP registers for floating-point values or NEON data at any point in the code.
I neither like nor dislike Tesla but most of you are missing the point. The cars are semi-autonomous not fully. They are hardware ready and one day will get a firmware upgrade as such. It is very, very clearly stated that you are still responsible for driving the vehicle. If you choose to focus on your phone or watch a movie or read a book, etc, well bad things can happen. Slamming on the brakes or taking evasive action is not appropriate for a semi-autonomous car to do. What if the Tesla driver survived but an innocent person in another car was killed. Wow, would everyone be screaming. We always like to blame something and not take responsibility. Last year a woman made a left hand turn in front of a slow moving transport as I was driving in the lane beside the transport. She drove right in to the drivers door and then tried to tell the police it was my fault. Until something is proven otherwise this looks like someone taking the tech for granted and not watching the road inspire if instructions and warnings. Tesla is I no way at fault at this time.
I felt the same, but if I were him and as self aware as he is as to his impact, it'd be hard for me to unwind the BetaMaxing of 'my' work, emotionally. (Economics aside.)

Based on other writings of his, which I've also enjoyed, he doesn't seem shy to throw in these jabs.

Is there a category for a serial killer that's trying to prevent another dramatically worse serial killer from killing and enslaving a nation for generations?

The US didn't try to conquer North Vietnam. It didn't try to annex the nation. It got involved in an existing civil war - on the premise of fighting Communism's spread - and tried to keep North Vietnam from conquering South Vietnam for exactly the same reason it acted to keep North Korea from conquering South Korea. The US left Vietnam, the North went on with its conquering anyway.

The US killed vast numbers of North Koreans in the Korean War as well, in the defense of the South. Why isn't that treated exactly the same way that the Vietnam War is? A curious inconsistentcy of popular sentiment: it's because to either wish the US had failed in Korea, or never got involved at all, is to be ok with the idea that South Korea would very likely look like North Korea today and that the South's people would have had the same horrific history the past six decades.

Let's see how things turned out.

South Korea: GDP per capita of Spain & Italy, ~$30,000.

Vietnam: GDP per capita of East Timor & the Solomon Islands, ~$2,300.

Every time I read things by the founding fathers and the era immediately after them, I am always surprised by how many extremely insightful people the time period produced and that they actually got into positions of power where they could organize things according to constitutional principles. Pretty amazing group of people in one place and at one time in a culture and circumstances that could have a large impact.
If you're quoting John Bolton as someone who wants to avoid war, you probably should do a bit of research on John Bolton.

https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2005/04/28/boltons-conservati...

John Bolton was extremely supportive of the war in Vietnam. He simply utilized his privilege to avoid being drafted so he didn't have to go to war.
I guess he just means sympathetic frequencies or something like that, rather than resonance. As an admirer of Bret's other work, I'm guessing he intended this as a showcase of interactive illustrations of how frequency works in composite. Too bad the terminology is off.
I've already stated that a query shouldn't necessarily result in a change of state, but a command to return data is still a command and there's every reason to call them that because they result in work performed.

It's shocking because making a statement like that seems almost incompatible with being an intelligent person. If that quote isn't misrepresenting her beliefs, it really raises quite a number of questions.
You can open a Subway inexpensively, then work in it for yourself.

Everyone around me has a bunch of rent houses while they work normal jobs to pay everything off. Hell, my neighbor has 15 or so homes and lives in Europe most the year and has since the early 1990s.

Fairpixels doesn't appear to be a SaaS service, but a service company that does design (not only for SaaS).

I'm curious:

- is there a particular SaaS designed by fairpixels that you consider an example of good SaaS design?

- do you have any relationship with Fairpixels? Your HN account has posted 2 comments since being created, and both those comments recommend fairpixels.
I think that's a severe misrepresentation of China. They're communist in name, but extremely capitalist in practice. Jack Ma is the man behind Alibaba and now one of the richest people alive, let alone Chinese alive. Check out his background [1].

In my opinion, the main difference between China and the US is nationalism. And that's also what I think that slogan is indicative of. It also, I think, explains their government actions. Supporting their companies is not about nationalizing them, which implies a motivation of state driven control, but growing and improving Chinese companies on the national scene.

I think we have a great analogy in the US today versus the US in the past. Think about our space program in the 60s. We dumped immense amount of money into US companies and managed to, in 7 years, go from having never even put a man into orbit to putting a man on the moon. The primary motivation there was nationalistic - showing how kick ass America, and implicitly capitalism, was.

Compare that space program to today where there's no real nationalism. Now a days we're building the Space Shuttle 2.0, known as the SLS. And we've spent 8 years on it so far, obscene amounts of money, and it's still not going anywhere. The thing is now the motivation for the spending is not about America, but about a handful of congressmen using it as a job's program for their election campaigns, and of course shelling out kickbacks everywhere. If we handed out a fraction of the SLS money to a private company like SpaceX we'd have a man on Mars in the 2020s, but again - the goal is no longer about America or space. It's become about the individual, instead of the nation.

So essentially I think China's goal here is not state control, but about showing dominance of the Chinese system. If there is any problem with the American system it's that I think we've become somewhat conservative with ideas. Elon Musk's ideas should not be as unique as they are. I mean they aren't - everybody has them, but funding for revolutionary ideas seems (based on the lack of these sort of companies) to be much more difficult to come by. Ostensibly it makes sense. Investors want to invest in things likely to turn a profit, and investing in something that's never been done before is not the easiest EV to predict. But with our technology and wealth today we could be doing so many much more interesting things than we are.

That is just like saying that we should all start calling our compilers transpilers, given that the word misuse is so ubiquitous among JS devs.

A classic read! With smart contracts and other decentralized tech, the nature of the firm and it relationship with stakeholders is about to be utterly transformed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_the_firm
A centrally planned economy is still subject to market forces. They manifest as the effort required to implement the central plan.

The difference between centrally planning your household finances, a company or a whole country is really just one of scale. Because the plan can allocate internal resources arbitrarily so long as the external forces are matched out, it's possible for this internal allocation to be wildly imbalanced. But if you're personally overspending on some item, you're going to feel that pretty quickly, while a corporation might sink a lot of money into a doomed project before it gets axed, and a country can spend decades before correcting. The larger an organization is, the longer it takes for a pressure felt at just one part of the organizational border to propagate far enough that it affects the overall plan.

This is actually less a problem of central planning than of an aversion to change the plan. In a market, there is little attachment to other participants, and if a better supplier for something pops up, nobody has any qualms about switching to them. But most companies would hesitate much more before cutting an internal department than they would if it were just a question of hiring a different contractor. Because changing the plan feels like admitting failure, inefficiency creeps in.

So central planning could actually work, but you would have to continually adapt the plan to changing circumstances. The end result might look a lot like a market economy, though.
What if Tech Had Nutrition Facts?
Fully agree. I work on a small team (3 devs + 1 designer) and all three devs are, to some degree, full-stack. We all have areas of relative strength and weakness, but all can and do work across the full stack.

It also seemed pretty absurd to me that the author suggested the only reason any kind of full-stack developer is conceivable is JS on the backend, as if the main issue is needing to know more than one language.

By which you mean attack before someone can attack you? Attack if you’re feeling uncertain about the prospects and outcome of diplomacy? Attack to acquire/open new markets to keep fueling the pipe dream of unfettered and constant economic growth?

Each of these notions are but rationales used to start a fight, not defend against one.

Cocktail party effect replicated by computers
No deep reason. Once upon a time Ford dominated the car industry, and Henry Ford cared deeply about the engineering of Ford cars ("the brand"). I also wanted an industry where people spent a lot of money on an end-user product, such that they would not want to do something which might break a warranty.
DevOps Engineering with Service Orientation
While I agree, yes it has been proven with Tesla's technology that it could happen, I believe that Waymo would not be so callous as to apply for this permit if it had not 100% proven that its technology would not do something as blatantly bad as that. I could be wrong, but I certainly feel through their various reports and showcases that they have by far and away the best grasp on fully autonomous vehicles. I have yet to read that in their millions of miles of fully autonomous driving there was a crash that was worse than cosmetic damage to either vehicle or caused injury [1]. They also seem ready to take responsibility for any of their mistakes and use them as a learning experience to further improve their technology.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waymo#Crashes
That's not a self driving car. Autopilot is L1 or L2 at best, vs. Waymo's L4. There's a huge gap between the two.
I’ve worked at companies of different sizes. I think the important realization is seeing how much people are paying for something you’ve built, and that you’re getting very little of it.

AAMGF tech behemoths make almost a million per employee, yet the median salary is 15% of that.

Going it along, you could probably build a better product in another niche market and take a bigger cut. It’s a risk/reward bet.
> In fact science is not developed enough to address anything much beyond the most basic things.

I mean, we understand relativity well enough to predict astronomical movements and to account for it when synchronizing GPS, we understand biology well enough for genetic engineering and complex medicine, chemistry well enough to create exotic materials and superconductors, quantum mechanics enough to harness it for computation, physics enough to split the atom, space travel, astronomy, etc. We understand a lot more than "the most basic things."
Wow, your pricing seems quite high for what is effectively a one time use tool. Is this your first release? Have you managed to attract customers at this price point?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not implying your pricing is going to hurt you. As someone who is really bad at selling people stuff, I'm just curious about how you manage to sell a product like this at what appears to be a pretty high price point.
That the World Wars vastly increased the size of the US military does not negate the parent’s point that the early 19th century saw a change in the US stance on having a standing army.

I'm just reading it, but already like the disclaimer. :D
This is a really good point. I agree that there are much more important things to learn, and reading old material (old enough that the English is barely recognizable) isn't generally valuable. More scientific literacy would be a great start!

I remember in high school freshman year science class involved reading and reflecting on science in the news. I thought it was bullshit at the time, partially because most science journalism that I was aware of was bullshit. I do think I could have read actual scientific papers at that time. Some students would struggle, but struggle = learning, imho.
I think Lovecraft's aliens were more indifferent to humans than malign, or at best slightly annoyed, the way a human might be by a small anthill in their yard. As far as I know, Lovecraft hated the theistic ideal of humanity being the "center of God's creation" and wanted to portray a universe where humans were utterly insignificant and incapable of dealing with the scale of horrors that awaited beyond the safety of the anthill.

Very much this - as a Brit, Brutalism means to me all the eyesore buildings in faded concrete, grey against a grey sky, depressing buildings.

Buildings that dominate areas, make them feel unsafe and unfriendly. Buildings that create dark spaces for petty crime, spaces that smell of urine.

Buildings with no human warmth at all.
I know, I know, it was just a few of those mythical and rare "bad apples".. but until the good apples who supposedly outnumber the bad start cleaning house, and stop standing up for those "bad apples" to protect the image of their "brotherhood", trust will continue to be an issue.

This is the problem with the "bad apples" phrase. It seems to me people forget the line is "Bad apples spoil the bunch" it's categorically NOT "A few bad apples sure are annoying as heck" as if merely acknowledging that bad apples exist is enough to signal you're doing something about the problem.

Police Departments across the country seem to have a hard time getting this, and as do many of their supporters to the point of "it's a few bad apples" becoming an utterly worthless phrase anymore, IMO.

Most high school students, including top students, are in classes where the teacher teaches towards a test (state exam, AP test). Because the actual test follows a format you can game, so does the class. Students therefore learn to write in a format that specific teacher likes and with the right amount of fancy words. If that gets them an A, that’s all they care about. Same with books - the focus was on what we need to know from this book to pass the test.

In college it can be difficult to transition to professors that expect you to actually be able to express yourself eloquently and with creativity. Most students aren’t reading old or difficult books for fun (if any at all). It’s not surprising their level is poor.
It’s true. As a west coaster who lived in NY for years I found the “classic” NY food to be pretty gross honestly. The most pined about pizza and bagels are greasy and bland respectively. It’s a cliche at this point for West coasters to not get what the big deal is and you were downvoted as expected (as I will be), but I suspect it’s out of lack of exposure to west coast food more than greatness of NY food. Dinners and pizza are hardly worthy of discussion let alone praise.

You are not alone but the East coast has the media to promote their cuisine hence its dominance and over representation in US culture.
Founding father fetishizing (or whatever you want to call it) is very taboo in lefty circles because of how much conservatives do it. But that doesn't stop me personally from thinking that that group of people had the best ideas and developed the best framework for government the world has ever seen. It's just a shame it didn't work out to their intentions in practice.
To answer both of your questions: none of that stuff will be in orbit in 60m years.

Geostationary is only stationary in relation to a specific point on earth (geo). It just means it stays above a point on earth. It requires regular minor adjustments.

L1, L2, and L3 aren't stable. L4 and L5 are... but you would still need to adjust for the earth and moon not being perfect spheres; the moon moving slowly away from earth; tidal variations; solar wind; debris; etc.

L4 and L5 would last the longest, but not 60m years.
Building Scikit-Learn for AWS Lambda
Yeah, no. I used to ride a bike for errands, and sometimes to work. Then I moved to Santa Fe and saw no safe way to get around on a bike. Narrow sidewalks, gravel on the edge of the roads and (at that time) no real bike paths.

It's a bit better now, but I'm talking about 12 years ago.

I've since moved to a place with better cycling infrastructure.
You spoke my mind. I was just about to compare it with EEE. It has been the modus operandi for the spread of what we now call Hinduism in the Indian subcontinent.

Here is an example of that happening in the 21st century. Classic case of appropriating indigenous dieties.

> It all started in March 2015, when their simple pole-hut shrine for Dokri Burhi (earth goddess) was taken over by a saffron-coloured, tiled, electrified and gated Hindu temple for Kanaka Durga. And in accordance with Brahmin beliefs, all Shudras were barred from it. This is when the local Shudras woke up to the pattern. Almost 150-200 years ago, when a handful of Brahmin families migrated to Ichchapur, they started dislodging the Shudras, who were the original inhabitants, from their ancestral lands. As time passed, Brahmins took control of most of the land, despite the lower castes comprising the majority of the village’s population. In fact, currently, there are 22 Brahmin families in Ichchapur and about 250 odd lower caste households.
