The place I used to work in has been hiring (junior) people like crazy. Part of the reason they need so many is the crushing foundational technical debt at the core. When they hired someone to capable of improving that they were unable to merge the changes due to fear, and the management couldn't see the business value of doing so. They've had a few nasty outages recently too. I believe the insides of the Atlassian kit are similarly riddled with technical debt.

C++ has to run code before main if a ctor is in a class that's static. There's no other way to initialize that static object.

C prevents this by requiring static storage to be initialized with constants.

If I read this correctly, you have to spoof the telephone number in order to get the address, and you only get it read out loud so automation isn't trivial.

To me, it doesn't feel like a big deal, but that might be because in Sweden, everyone's [1] addresses are freely available and searchable online, given for example name or telephone number. See [2] and [3] for example.

So are telephone numbers and addresses considered very private in the US? Some comments in the Reddit thread suggest security bounties etc.

>> Automatic driving the Waymo way seems to be working. Automatic driving the Tesla way leaves a trail of blood and death.

If memory serves, Waymo's way seems to be summarised by the sentence "driver assist which we can have right now is inherently dangerous so let's go for full autonomy which we can't have for many years still".

A more accurate comparison of the two companies then might be that they are both trying to sell technology that they don't yet have (autonomous driving) and that only one of them is at least trying to develop (Waymo).

However, it should be absolutely clear that autonomous driving is currently only a promise and that this is true for every product being developed.

Rust is better in that it enforces at language level best practices regarding memory use and thread safety, that are only possible in C++ via conventions or external tools like sanitizers.

C++ still wins down on available compilers, supported hardware and OSes, IDEs, debuggers, libraries, GUI tooling, SIMD, GPGPU, industry certifications for critical systems, ...

For example AUTOSAR just recently moved away from C to C++14 as suggested language for car computer systems, imagine how long it will take for them to suggest other language.

The western part of Antartica has many fast moving glaciers, some grounded below sea level, that might speed up with global warming. This part is likely to dump a bunch of water into the ocean in the next 1-2 hundred years, but it is only about 10% of the Antarctic water/ice volume. The Eastern side is much thicker and larger and looks like it might actually increase in volume with climate warming.
That depends on circumstances and how expensive treating the disease is.

For the patient, it depends on the care you'll need while dying from it. If it takes 5 years, the first two missing lots of work and the last 3 taking increasing amounts of care, either through home nursing, family member, or nursing home... well, it depends on how much the medicines cost, both for the disease and symptom management. I'm assuming we are minimally letting folks die comfortably.

Then there are outside costs to dying. Children or a spouse might need extra help for years - and the younger you die, the more likely this is. Therapy for younger children costs money. The family income has likely been greatly reduced (assuming both adults are working). If you rent, the landlord might lose some money, possibly more if you live alone and die at home since the landlord not only is responsible for cleanup, but is losing money until the apartment is rented again. MInimally, a funeral is required, often costing at least $15k. Workplaces often have to deal with some of the fallout of a death. Then there are other things: Money owed to various places and so on.

There are many people who have wrong jobs.

More importantly, there are many people who are good, but not perfect. They do some aspects of their work greatly, other aspect less well. Good boss has some idea about that and is able to work with people who are not super great.

Least not last, even very good people often disagree about many things, including whether refactoring is needed or not or what kind of refactoring to do. Even if boss trusted all and listened all, he would still be told plenty of contradictory opinions.

I grew up in the Nickelodeon era. Pretty much every child star at the time, got slimed at some point. And Nickelodeon had their own amusement park with slime themed attractions. Every kid whose family had cable seemed to watch Nickelodeon. I came from a poor family without cable and I honestly thought that the Nick shows were a bit too corny and homegrown. So perhaps I noticed the culture more because I was a bit eyerolled by it. But it was a halcyon for sure..a staple of my generation.
At this point, I get the impression that for most (by numbers) of those who believe in a race-$trait correlation, the important thing is not to persuade those who are indifferent but to prove those who strongly assert that there is no such correlation wrong. More often than not, for each desirable trait there is cold hard real-world data that suggests strong correlations between race and particular desirable outcomes that appear related to the trait in question. (Say, in the case of IQ, lifetime income, job prestige etc.) If you believe that this difference in outcomes can be traced to a genetic difference in causative traits, to a first approximation the data does not suggest doing anything (with future technology, maybe, it would suggest a large-scale programme of gene therapy). If you believe that there are no such genetic differences, on the other hand, the data implies that there is a great and particularly morally repugnant defect to society, and justifies extraordinary, often outright punitive (e.g. racial quotas) corrective measures.

Currently, as far as policymaking in western societies is concerned, the faction that follows the "no genetic differences => (data => extreme measures are warranted)" reasoning is clearly in charge, if you
consider e.g. the recent altercations about racial quotas in school discipline (article for: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/18/us/politics/school-discip... / against: https://www.city-journal.org/html/no-thug-left-behind-14951....). If you read the "against" article, that should make it pretty clear why those who believe in the existence of group differences consider the answer important, if "it's important to not do an unwarranted extreme thing" is not already implied by the term "extreme". In the light of this, it does not seem fair to imply that the only significant societal changes a belief in genetic group differences would imply are ones that are so terrible that anyone would be embarrassed to admit advocating them to you or even themselves.

Ask HN: What is the communication protocol used in nerves?
I have read what is available on neural coding on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_coding) but I am quite perplexed.

So far I know that nerves consist of fascicles which consist of individual axons (neurons). The basic encoding used for instance with muscles is simple "firing rate" aka "rate coding". But it is not sufficiently fast to explain for instance sound localization so further "temporal coding" is suspected(?). Further "population coding" and "sparse coding" between neurons is suspected/required(?).

Can you summarize what we really know and liken it to a computer communication protocol?
That's quite interesting. What I can't tell by quickly reading those sources: is this mostly based on the data from a single location?

It seems possible that that local climate can change a lot more wildly then the global averages.

> That requirement is as sensible as saying that vancouver should outlaw residents from vacationing outside vancouver to ensure there are no vacant properties. Its not the goal to maximize each minute within a housing unit, thats not something you want to focus on.

I think you're confused about what I'm saying here. I'm not stating that this is legislation I'd hope to have passed--I'm saying that your point (short term rentals don't decrease effective housing availability in Vancouver) can only be true if certain conditions are met--your main point here, being covered in c) 'the dwelling rented is the principal residence of the owner.' This agreement with AirBnB is a step towards acknowledging this.

Mostly, though, I think your response indicates more strongly that you're just confused about Vancouver as a city. Things that work elsewhere in the world (eg: flat expansion) don't work for Vancouver due to ocean to the west, the US border on the south, and mountains/other townships already experiencing housing pains on the north and east. Things that most other places care about (eg: AirBnB tourism) don't apply so much to Vancouver, as almost all our tourists either go to Whistler or arrives on cruise ships (and thus needs no AirBnB). The hotels and hostels have more than enough capacity to handle the rest.

It's a fact of the matter that landlords buying multiple apartments to rent out temporary AirBnBs reduces housing stock, just as it's a fact that refusing to rezone certain areas of Vancouver reduces potential house stock.

> I can tell you people travel a lot more because of airbnb

I agree, but it's not pertinent to discussion w.r.t. Vancouver.

> and that there are way more cities that don't care about airbnb at all because it doesnt affect their housing market significantly.

I agree, but it's not pertinent to discussion w.r.t. Vancouver.

> Isn't allowing the user to opt to just bypass the PIN a bit of a security hole?

That's a valid point of view, but I actually believe that the business is taking (the bulk of) the risk. In case of a chargeback, the business has to prove that I made the purchase, and a PIN is better evidence that I actually made it compared to just a signature.

This means that businesses might accept signature only for relatively low amounts. Indeed, it's not uncommon that neither is needed for amounts under a couple of lunches or so, to make lunch queues quicker. I assume the throughput is sometimes worth the risk.

Both: short term as in energy needed during the day, and long term from a psychological point of view. This is subjective, of course.

See .. I find this line of thinking heinous. Why do you not instantly trip up when you type this?
I used to work at a large software company. They had one giant monolith application, about a hundred different modules that did things from financial registration, displaying media. 30 years old, ported from clipper to delphi to .net. Lots of technical dept, but one issue fits the type of "pay-in-full". They only had a maximum of 3 gigs of ram to work with because the monolith was a 32 bits application. That was ok for most modules, but some did some rather complicated stuff that required more memory occasionally. It caused infrequent out-of-memory exceptions. The cause was one 32-bits library that was very hard to replace. It was used everywhere, and stored reports in a proprietary format, the company that made that library went out of business at some point, no source was available. The company prided itself on backwards compatibility, so it couldn't just dump the library without porting all the reports over.

As far as I'm aware, it's still a 32 bits application.
