I haven't kept up with the industry (5G roadmap / company health), but yeah - it's worth remembering the AT&T/T-mobile of 2011 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attempted_purchase_of_T-Mobile... ) - back then it would've essentially made a monopoly out of GSM cellular usage. And back then cable competition didn't exist yet - xfinity wifi/mobile wasn't around then.

My assumption so far is that things are shifting such that LTE/5G are largely replacing CDMA, US govt would still prevent a GSM monopoly situation.

Cable companies are competing though - comcast started in 2014 'xfinity wifi' rollout via leased modem then got into mobile in 2017. If I'm reading https://www.xfinity.com/mobile/ correctly, it's cost-competitive ($45/mo unlimited compared to $70/mo on tmobile) - and works with the iphone myself and many US consumers already have.

I'm guessing verizon may already be doing something similar with fios modems.

Been thinking of switching back from Inbox to Gmail for one single annoying and IMO stupid design decision: if there are multiple recepients for the email the main reply button will by default perform a reply all. Had me look like a dork a few times, replying to everyone that I can't make it to a party or something.

Anyone else been bitten by this?
Google has some great resources including a few open source projects [0]. I don't use any of them directly, but they have been a great inspiration to learn from their epxerience.

Perhaps we should have different keyboards for programming. Traders have Bloomberg terminals. Why shouldn't we have an APL keyboard if we're using that language? If language is a tool of thought, then the input devices reduce time to putting that thought into action.

I did for 50 years more or less (NASA-Ames and USGS). I feel that although I have two degrees in geology, I was a second class citizen. I eventually earned respect by doing some remarkable things, but I had the opportunity to choose my own projects and be creative. I can see how in a more controlled environment, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to innovate and would have remained a second class citizen.
Hey, One of the authors of the SPS blog post here, as well as the engineer responsible for real-time alerting on SPS.

It is an SPS graph (as indicated by the title). Spinnaker displays the graph on that page to give engineers a visualization for what SPS looks like during their deployment windows. If your service is critical for streaming you'll have a preference for deploying during lower traffic hours to minimize potential impact. Fortunately as the post mentions it is very regular, and has different praks in different aws regions, which allows regional deployments to be staggered.
From what I understand, your brain stores I information by association. So it's possible that your brain was activating an old neaural pathway that had a relevant connection to what you were learning.

As an example, if you have trouble remembering people's names. Picture the face of someone you remember with the same name on top of the new persons face. This will cut out a lot of work for your brain, as it will utilize an existing pathway.

This is why something random can sometimes trigger a memory we didn't expect. It's more complicated then that of course, but that's the idea.
I think the female images are a lot closer to "unachievable" than the male images because of how much narrower the acceptable range in hip width, fat distribution, etc (genetic factors) is and it isn't something that can be fixed by adjusting your caloric input or working out more as it often can be for men.

For instance my high school and university swim teams were full of people who looked like the men in these images, but of the women almost none had similar bodies to these women (despite being extremely strong/fit/disciplined/etc).

At the end of the day though I'm not surprised that a website that mainly caters to a group of people who traditionally spend a lot of time sitting down (at work and at home) and often didn't grow up participating in team sports would consider images of fit people unrealistic.

Sure, that might be the case. But for those funny needs I have a "crazy algorithm course" from a top 10 university, ACM ICPC and Kaggle or other paid competitions I can attend. I am not going to go through such an interview doing simple silly things I did dozen times before at FB/Goog/etc., when I know I can use that time to work on something more interesting, or just for relaxing after a hard work/enjoying accomplishments. I would advise companies hiring to at least once read CV and click through GitHub code, and then just focus on the only important question - would they like to work with me as a person or not? That would save everyone time and lead to better results.

One self-driving car start-up in SV wanted me to solve a long-standing research problem (Deep Learning) as their week-long take home test. Thanks, but when I do, you can license my tech, I will gladly make it available to you for $.

When doing my PhD I used to work from ~13:00 to 5:00 de next day (the rest was sleep).
I now wake up at 6:45 after 8h or so of sleep.

The surprising thing is that I cannot tell you how this affected me because it did not. I did the switch a few times easily. Now that I think of it, I have never been bothered by time zones either (I used to constantly travel worldwide east and west bound for a few years).

I never had problems to sleep (neither in time nor quality)

This maybe means that some people are not impacted to much by dlrrp cycles and that just giving a try to something else may be a great experience (I loved my owl cycle, though I had obviously zero social interactions at that time)
Sorry to hurt your feelings but Jeff Bezos is doing just about everything he can to get the comparison with SpaceX out there and nobody commenting on any of this intends to hurt the feelings of those working on either one of these projects. There have been plenty of harsh words on Tesla, SpaceX, Apple, Google and so on on HN and this is the first time that the 'compassion' angle gets played.

How about: Blue Origin and SpaceX are as different as apples and oranges, the one is doing space tourism and may at some point become a player, the other is serving up a sizeable fraction of the worlds launch capacity at a pace that seems to be picking up every month. As soon as Blue Origin becomes Blue Orbitals a comparison would make sense.

This is great! But, to be honest, with innovations in "serverless" web technologies you only need one tool end-to-end for API building, deployment, management, documentation, mocking, logging, rate-limiting, you name it.

StdLib [1] does all of these things, with local command line testing included. Think of it like Lambda + APIG + Postman + Doc Generator + Your Favorite Framework, optimized for shipping functions (Node.js) as infinitely scalable web APIs. For example of an Enterprise-ready API + integration, check out MessageBird's (YCS16) one-line SMS API published on the platform [2].

Maybe. You need a big nuclear arsenal and credible delivery vehicles. A few nukes is not enough, as NK is finding out -- a few nukes just makes you a bigger target. A few ICBMs with a few nukes is not enough because we have missile defense.

For nukes to buy you independence you need lots of them, lots of ICBMs/SLBMs, and if you don't have quite enough then you need some allies who have many more. NK doesn't really have allies. Russia won't be defending them. China likes to use NK as a bargaining chip, but they won't again go to war over it.

That system sounds terrifying itself.

Who runs such a system? What is their motive or mandate for doing so? Which governments will directly or indirectly control it? How will it deal with things that are unpopular yet true? How will it be gamed by malicious actors?

>The "experiment" has too few data points to be meaningful, and the proposed way to verify remains meaningless, two simple cases:

This isn't science, we know this is possible and the "experiment" was to try and find examples of it happening.

A false negative is always assumed, it is impossible to know you haven't been compromised. A false positive is meaningless as finding a change is only the first step. You then need to analyze what the change is, and if you can't pin down what has been compromised you're just back to the default state of unaware.

This is a honeypot. If you leave your honeypot and return to an empty one, you're pretty sure a bear is around but can't do anything. If you find a bear with their paws in the pot, you don't need to run the experiment again to prove there's a bear.
Sure, many HSMs/smartcards/tokens lack sophisticated RNGs. And NIST's SP800-90 has proven weak on this.
Irrespective of whether your comment being correct, the GP has a point regarding the GGP comment being a drive-by.

Although I also think that GGGP comment is also a drive-by, it just has a color of 'reasoning'.
> And it is a fiction.

It's funny, that I came into the thread to make the same point to an extent. The problem is that it is a fiction but that fiction has become law [0]. I honestly don't know the legal system well enough to know how this gets fixed but in the interim it seems a slightly to strong effort in navel gazing to talk about how its incorrect without acknowledging that it is.

It is unfortunate that such transitions happen so consistently in management. The field seeks to be treated as a science (in the paradigm sense) despite not having the basic philosophical characteristics. Findings in physics may change what I look for in future physics experiments but observing a phenomenon isn't going to change it (and grant me some grace...we aren't talking about quantum). In management, the observations are the behavior of humans and the results inform human practice. That makes research management and practice inseparable, no matter how much they want to be science. However, that is ignored an an attempt to take a scientific stance. The result even affects pedagogy with techniques designed to communicate the development of critical thinking through engagement of multiple perspectives is usurped over time into just teaching the current 'rules' of business [1].

According to the article:

> Nearly 2.7 million gallons of the water—about 39 percent of the daily intake from the factory—will be lost in the process, primarily from evaporation. The remaining water will be treated and returned to the lake basin.
Not OP but I think some people feel that if someone doesn’t have confidence in an idea they probably haven’t through it through. And if someone doesn’t have the drive to push an idea through, they won’t have the drive to push the plan through.

I don’t really agree, but I sort of understand the Darwinism of it.

In an organization where management isn’t good at supporting contributors, it’s probably a good indicator actually. In an organization with strong support structures, you can use good ideas from people who aren’t natural leaders. But organizations who can really support ideas originating from those people are rare.
I find that hard to believe. Quick google search shows >~100 million subscribers. Let's put that down at 10 billion revenue. That would only account for ~10% of their revenue
They don't directly pay to use local roads etc. They may indirectly contribute to the tax base, but it's far from 1:1. Otherwise their would be little need for local property taxes on homes and apartments.

And really, your argument implies that people in Japan pay US taxes when they buy Coca Cola. At some point things are indirect enough it's a meaningless connection.
In Python 2, bytes can be coerced to unicode:

This time, the difference between suborbital and orbital is a big deal. You'll note that press coverage of BO uses 'suborbital' to describe these flights, while BO's marketing keeps talking about 'space'.
Yeah, but archive.org is run by a reputable non-profit with strong governance and support, which we can be fairly confident will remain operational for the foreseeable future. Who runs archive.is? How certain are we that they will be around 1, 5, 10 years into the future? How certain are we that the links will still work?

This is archiving that we're talking about, after all.
Try contracting in investment banking technology. There are plenty of legacy Java and C++ systems that need support and maintenance. Often provides a very nice living for a large number of developers. I even know a perl guy earning 800 GBP a day for maintaining some scripts for a market risk system. All the scripts do is clean up some CSV files! Also, the guy leaves at 4:30 pm on the dot.
You didn't took into account that rich people can use more of their income for investments, to leverage and to spend more time to use marked fluctuations in their favor.

Your example looks correct. But I don't see how is the common case. Middle class investors usually don't have more percentage in the market that the 0.1%. Most middle class main investment is the home they live in.
You don't need to be an expert to criticize the user experience of a product. A reviewer who says "this phone is slow" is probably right. It requires much deeper knowledge to criticize internal details. A reviewer who says "they used too big a capacitor for C143" would need to understand a great deal about the design for that claim to be credible.

Most of the negatives in the article seemed to be of the second kind.
Sorry, what are the C++2x metaclasses? I haven't been following along very closely.
Platitudes are important, elsewise we'd have far fewer comments on HN!

There's no chance that anyone can monopolize the launch market because of the way it's structured, with lots of governments wanting independent access to space. What you want is at least 2 low-cost providers.
That grip is too wide to be a deadlift. It’s probably snatch. Or just a badly posed photo.
Maximizing shareholder value concentrates returns in the hands of shareholders over employees. This has a significant distributional impact as for most income from employment dwarfs income from investments.
They can credibly claim 'space' because of the altitude. I really hope they will stay on schedule to do something more serious than this, I can't wait until there are two private sector parties with orbital launch capability and reusability at their core.

This is just a convoluted appeal for trickle-down economics.
Earlier this year I took a deep dive into APL (something I'd been meaning to do for a while). With Dyalog APL and the APL mode in emacs, typing these things in is pretty easy and becomes natural if you're already a touch typist.

For instance, iota is just `.i`, rho is `.r`, etc. Some are more natural (like that) others are arbitrary but logically consistent, like take and drop are next to each other on the keyboard.

After a few days I felt like I could type most programs without having to think about where keys were. Admittedly, I've lost it all now since I haven't touched it for a couple months. If I actually stuck with it for more than the 4-6 weeks I did I imagine I wouldn't have lost it so quickly.
"It boggles the mind how anyone in their right mind can believe that a cyber-squatter shoud somehow have the right to hold the domain name of a sovereign nation for ransom."

I... just don't know how to respond to this. Do you have any proof that it was 'being held for ransom'? It sounds like it wasn't for sale at any price... it was hosting the man's business.

And I definitely don't agree with cyber-squatting... in fact I personally think that 'parked' domains should be returned to the public domain after some X years. I hate that there are people holding vast numbers of potentially useful domain names and not using them for anything.

I just don't understand how you drew that conclusion in this particular case... it sounds like the opposite actually.

Some statists regulate markets into inefficiency, then other statists use the inefficiency as justification for more regulation. Yet other statists use crony capitalism as justification for giving the state more power, as if the problem of crony capitalism was one with capitalism itself rather than the state having too much power already! The statists don't necessarily do this in a coordinated, conscious or intentional way. Most of them sincerely believe that regulation is for the best. As electors their vote has an infinitesimal chance of being decisive, so the cost to them of having irrational beliefs about politics is negligible. Simultaneously they have preferences over beliefs. Whether having beliefs similar to those of people they want to associate with, loyalty to a political ideology or signaling moral qualities, when the political influence of any person in a large electorate is so small people will have irrational beliefs.

Good law in a democracy is a positive externality. Desirable policies benefit everyone but their private benefit to an individual is small even if the individual is altruistic. Government is supposed to resolve market failures, but it itself is the sole reason they exist.
I also don't agree it's the root cause, but certainly it's a big contributing factor. Buying that 3 bedroom house in a more affordable area might be a smart idea, or it might severely limit one's economic mobility. Most of the jobs that mint new members of the upper / upper-middle class are based in big cities. Living elsewhere might mean trading class mobility for housing security, a trade-off that some don't have to make.
There are languages - C and Go, and to a lesser extent, C++ - in which re-implementation of data structures and algorithms is not uncommon.

To your larger point, data structures and algorithms are popular in interviews for the same reason Project Euler is popular - it is very easy to ask a well defined, but interesting question about core CS or math.
