This is not always possible. For example, take the claim that a certain thing X in some eatables is harmful/not harmful for human beings. Such a thing might not be possible without long term study. Or the claim that smoking will kill you, but what if you want to know if smoking moderately is as bad as exposing to automobile pollution every day? Or living in an area with polluted air. Mainstream narrative today emphasizes on the dangers of smoking, but it does not really does the same with automobile pollution? What if you want to know the truth about this? Can this be so easily done by a common man?

Even in cases where this is possible, like pesticide residue in vegetables, You might have to run the experiments for a large number of samples for some amount of time to get a real picture. Which might be feasible, but way out of the comfort zone of a concerned person, who has a normal life and the associated hassles to deal with...

>At a certain age, you are vulnerable..

I think if you are in high school, then you should be out of that zone..

> If you don't, you get eliminated but that's life right?

Exactly my point

To add to this. I think it is a fallacy that adults are better at "calculating" and is not as vulnerable. But I think this is just an image projected so that adults can be exploited in various ways while still being oblivious to their vulnerabilities...

For example, doctors think they are not influenced by ads and promotions. People here in HN/Reddit think they are above/not vulnerable to propaganda and is not actually as much vulnerable as the uneducated plebs they sympathise for being vulnerable and manipulated....

26 year old here. I want a simple interface that automatically invests in tax-saving schemes and wealth generation schemes.It should do this by understanding my income, my goals, my risk profile and tax policies. It shouldn't ask me what I want to invest in or give me jargon about my portfolio. All I would care about is, how much money is being invested, how much money I save through tax and how much money I could have for a rainy day. If I want to know about my investment profile, then hit me with all the jargon in the world. I asked for it.

Lastly, the most important thing to me, how you (the platform) makes money. This part should be absolutely transparent. I should know exactly how you make money, how much money you have made off of me etc.

I'd be more than willing to pay a subscription fee for such a service or a commission fee for the hard work put in.

Lastly, you may say, well these are readily available. Not really. These services are fragmented (not as one platform), not available, at least in India.
First, Transaction is not free, there is overhead comes with it. Second, it could be upstream software bug, that writes wrong data to the DB, you can possibly overwrite that.
I keep wondering about too. My current guess is that it's a combination of the following considerations:

- Cars design is focused on sales, not utility. Futuristic tech like touchscreens looks better in commercials, and makes people think they're buying high-tech. This is incidentally what IMO is plaguing software industry too - software products are designed with focus on pretty looks, not utility, because it's the initial experience that drives sales / subscriptions.

- A touchscreen interface simplifies car design. When you're design the car's interior, a touchscreen is just a box connected to the CAN bus. You can ignore the rest. Which means, all UI work can now be done completely in parallel by a separate team, or (more likely) subcontracted out. Also, altering that software to e.g. move a button elsewhere is much cheaper than moving a physical button.

Back when I was living in New Zealand, this was basically possible.

I could get my bank to round up all my debit card transactions to the nearest $1 to $10, and put that money into a savings account. I could then transfer all that money from my savings account at the end of the month into Sharesies [0], an ETF investment platform, where the minimum investment is $5.

It's not quite seamless, but it's close to seamless. I wouldn't want it to be more automatic than that, personally.

Jeff, this distinction between your property and mine is debilitating. As your customer when I'm happy it makes you happy and I can 100% guarantee there is nothing you can do that would make me happier than to donate your entire wealth to me thereby sharing the decisions you make exercising the power that comes with it.

Every single dollar you keep is a a dollar I don't get. Just as every single goddamn second your employees spend doing work stuff (including commuting) is a second they cannot spend with their families, pursuing hobbies, relaxing and living their lives.

It's a zero sum. Fk you very much for suggesting that spending time at work is comparable in any way to spending time with your children.

Now we're talking about zero sums, the quantity of tears shed by Amazon employees [1] is not a zero sum. You can fix that and it doesn't mean others will be crying.

The question isn't whether Bezos has talent. The question is how many people on the planet of 7 billion with his luck would have come out equivalent. Not all, no sir, not all.

Don't work for them.

I remember this. My grandmother was caught up in it coming back from holiday. Back then there were no mobile phones and she couldn’t hear her land line phone so everyone was panicking and we had to go to her house to see if she was ok. She was making some tea when we got there and shrugged it off as a minor disruption to her schedule. A lot has changed technology-wise since then.

For the people who don’t know, you could smoke on London Underground back then and the place was littered with cigarette butts still burning in some cases. It was just a matter of time.

Right. As a Linux user I skipped most of Skype for Business experience. It cannot even do passive screen sharing (i. e. display what others share). A web client that cannot show all contents... And that for a paid service, every free aka customer is the product service works in Linux browsers.

The old normal (not for business) Skype Linux client could even do active screen sharing (share your own screen) on Linux. Although it was limited to 1:1 calls IIRC. Haven't checked whether they have managed to break/remove that in the new Linux client...
I too reported a similar issue very recently to VRP and got the exact same response, except in the end there was a line

I think OP did not post this line in the blog; which makes Google look like they don't at all care.

This really depends on which city you're in and where in the city you leave your bike+helmet.

I've had the ultra-cheap lights on my bike stolen. I've seen plenty of other bikes stripped of everything except the frame itself.

This is why I always take my helmet (and my lights) with me, lock my bike and the front wheel with a good lock, and chain lock my seat down for good measure. Haven't had anything stolen since -- even in some sketchy areas.

Product Engineers at  Streak (YC S11)
By the unwritten conventions of bit hacks folks, 'builtin_clz' is not a primitive (and elsewhere in that same document you will find a brace of different ways of doing clz/ctz). Many of these documents are old and the techniques in them older still (dating back to HAKMEM).

You are definitely correct on most modern architectures which have a single operation count leading/trailing zeros that are typically no more expensive than an integer multiply. This has been latency = 3, throughput = 1 for most recent Intel arch.

I think a redo assuming modern architectures is long overdue; i.e. let's work off the basis that count leading/trailing zeros, PDEP/PEXT, etc are fast and cheap and start from there.

Bonus round: if you had a lot of these operations to do, then you still might be able to go faster on x86 on SSE2 or AVX2 by using this trick, as the penalty to pass a SIMD register full of integers to a floating point op or vice versa is just one cycle. This trick becomes obsolete yet again with AVX512, which introduces parallel count leading zeros.
I am not sure why you are being downvotes, I agreed with your sentiment at first. Although when I really think about it I can see how it would deter many people who can easily replace their biking with walking.

I really feel like there must be other factors at play here though...

If you like this, you should check out https://graphics.stanford.edu/~seander/bithacks.html as mentioned elsewhere and also the book Hacker's Delight.

I would love to see these updated for SIMD and modern architectures (which change the equation quite drastically for bit hacking with 1 uop PEXT/PDEP/LZCNT/TZCNT), but that makes for a pretty huge area.

I thought they were talking about preparing engineers for starting companies. In that analysis I think it makes sense that risk aversion is a factor, although, considering the odds of 90% failure* that are often reported, I'm not sure that we should talk about risk as much as lack of opportunity seeking.

It's no surprise that many engineers, often looking forward to a prosperous career, don't see a need to seek opportunities with relatively low chances for an upside. This can't be compared to the fact that an engineer designing a bridge has to be very careful.

Then I read the last line:
"BEPs that successfully match students’ entrepreneurial attributes and development stand to help meet firms’ increasing demand for entrepreneurial graduates."
And I'm no longer sure what they mean, do they see entrepreneurship as just another MBA, but for risk takers?

* Even if compensating for some factors can make this less, you are in general more likely to fail than succeed with starting a company.

The thing I don't get about these stories: don't you have a contract specifying working hours? My contract says 8 hours a day, for x$ per month, this is what we agreed to and this is what I deliver. Asking me to do 12h instead of 8h would be the same as paying me 66% of my salary at the end of the month instead of 100%. That's a blatant breaking of our contract, why would I agree to that?
Because Apple rose to its success partly because of its UX philosophy.

This definitely falls into the category of "Useless Information that I Happen to Know," but any Navy officer who is punished at court martial or Captain's Mast is also required to face a Board of Inquiry to show cause for retention in the service. Many officers (who don't hire lawyers) decide "Oh, I'll just plead guilty and get a letter of reprimand and move on," only to be separated by the Board of Inquiry.

In this case, it's pretty cut-and-dry that she'll be separated; the BOI will just be a formality or she might even waive it.

I've tried Skype for Business and found it lacking. Skype for Business (now years into availability) doesn't handle screen control across the only two OSes it purports to "support" (MacOS and Windows). I think interactive drawing is also not supported everywhere.

From what I'm told, the Skype for Business back-end is not enterprise-ready, by which I mean the back-end is written to assume that one user or one set of users has admin control over all the lines set up in the system. So one user or set of users remains in charge of all of the telephony details (role-based accounts, response groups, etc.). A proper enterprise-ready program allows the admin capabilities to be limited to groups of users and delegate functionality to those groups for certain lines. This arrangement lets you have multiple simultaneous admins edit different non-conflicting details (such as setup for two different response groups) simultaneously with no problems. This means large organizations with lots of somewhat independent groups have to set up work queues where someone in each group files a request for the Skype for Business admin(s) to work on requests (e.g. Please make 123-555-1234 a response group set up in the following way...). This slows down an admin in any of those groups considerably as those admins wait for their work requests to be fulfilled or further questions to be sent back in response.

Also some of the limits in Skype for Business strike me as silly: one of them concerns response groups (a Skype for Business term for how inbound calls are routed to a series of receptionists called "agents" in Skype for Business parlance). If you want a response group where some of the agents are allowed to decide whether they want to receive the calls (known as a "formal login" response group in Skype for Business parlance), and other users are required to receive the calls (an "informal login") you can't have both of these kinds of agents in the same response group. You have to set it up so that, say, the informal login agents get the call first and (if they don't take the call after a few seconds) the call is passed to the formal login agents.

From what I'm told, Skype for Business doesn't handle nested directory service groups properly when those groups contain sets of agents (which I understand Skype for Business treats as distribution lists when one uses Microsoft's directory server Active Directory). If that's so, this means that organizations that keep tidy directory service hierarchies can't reuse their groups efficiently.
Yes it is. In fact a pretty thorough study was carried out in Denmark which showed that forcing bicycle helmets has such a big impact on the number of people cycling, that it overall increases the healthcare spending in the country. They did the math, and overall the nation is healthier with lots of people cycling and some getting injured, than forced helmets and no one cycling.

Forced helmets are a great example of lawmaking being driven by ignorance and opinion rather than facts and stats.
Is there any way to bind that globally to a key?
> At CMU you took no courses in operating systems? Algorithms? Computer hardware or logic? Compilers? Graphics? Databases? Web programming? Distributed systems? Networks? Parallel/HPC? Language theory? Security/crypto?

The core that's required in both programs (15-122, 15-128, 15-150, 15-210, 15-213, and 15-251) is very broad and touches pretty much all of those areas. To be clear, hardware design isn't covered there, but the (x86-64) programmer's side of memory management and the CPU is covered well.

Other than algorithms, dedicated courses in all of those areas are offered as electives and you pick some of them. I recall taking OS, security, digital design / RTL (which was actually in the ECE department), web, and logic - but I could have subbed OS with Parallel/HPC, for example. The BS in CS curriculum[1] requires enough free and area electives that students gain depth in several of those areas.

> Because these students will take none of these courses, they will differ significantly from those with a BS in CS.

The BS in AI curriculum[2] only requires two CS-wide electives, so students in that program will indeed have depth in fewer of the areas. This is why these students will receive BS in AI degrees, to differentiate them from those who receive BS in CS degrees. I think you're in agreement with CMU's decision here?

That said, with the broad base of the core classes like 15-213 and the second half of 15-210, plus implementation details covered in the AI/ML courses, I'm sure no graduate of that program would struggle with HPC, networking, or DB/sysadmin in the workplace, or in a graduate program in AI.

Ultimately, there's only so much you can fit into four years, but I'd bet it would be easier for someone from this new program to deepen their skills in those areas, than it would be for most BS in CS graduates to add ML skills.

> Breeding (even hybridizing) plants is not considered GMO or all carrots, corn, and avocados would be considered the same.

It is a different technique, but the purpose is the same. [1] gives a good overview over why discriminating between the "more natural" genetic modification techniques and the "less natural" ones is not a reasonable middle-ground. Healthy skepticism around particular GMOs (meaning particular plants) is completely fine (and should be encouraged -- like all skepticism), but skepticism around all plants produced by a given group of techniques doesn't make much sense imo.

Regarding proprietary pesticides, there is a legitimate issue there (as there is with the patenting of biotech -- or patents in general) but it has been hijacked by anti-GMO protests making claims that farmers were sued because of cross-contamination from other farms and similarly false statements.

I am in two minds over this. I skipped college after one year and went straight into an IT job as a sysadmin. Seven years later I started working for a startup and then proceeded to do startups ever since.

There would have been a bunch of things that would have been very valuable to learn in school to be a better entrepreneur, but I think I haven’t really seen programmes that take the right approach. Successful entrepreneurs don’t generally set out to be teachers. I don’t think I would enjoy it. Advising startups, maybe that would be better. Which brings us to something like YC.
