This will be my last reply because you're stuck in an idealogical bubble and I hope you can break out of it someday.

You're stating that you agree in stopping identity politics but you're also stating that it's impossible to achieve, and under that assumption you will always fail to achieve it. It's possible to accomplish as I already said, by simple forgetting everything about group identity. That's it. Treat people like individuals and nothing else. The tiny minority that will still make a big deal about it will wither away slowly and have insignificant effect on anyone else.

But as your last 2 paragraphs show, you're unable to do that and still keep looking through a group lens. There is not really much discrimination at all, but it will always seem like it as long as you use arbitrary groupings, like saying "white guys" when that could cover people from half the countries on the planet. There is no such thing as an "even" distribution because you made an random group based on something uncontrollable like skin color, and then decided that the world should match without even pausing to consider that there are millions of factors that make up the individual, and that localized family and societal cultures make a large impact on what someone will choose to do with their life.

Stop thinking in groups (especially on any physical characteristic). The only way forward is to treat everyone like the unique character they are, with their entire life as their background with their own unique interests, talents, and motivations. That's the answer to both your questions. If you want to act and change for the better, just do that.
You've got it backwards. They are able to make a living happily doing their craft because there is a portion of the market that values their craft. They didn't choose their craft because they recognized their was a market for it. They chose their craft out of love of the craftsmanship.

Arguments like this fundamentally misunderstand human psychology. And this is why the economic model of the "rational man" is fundamentally flawed.
This is great advice but is contingent on learning how to do it. The rickshaw drivers in OP’s example didn’t complete that part.

I’ll add that this isn’t unique to India and there are lots of bullshitters in the world and in tech. I think the difference I’ve witnessed is that with more Indians than non-Indians I’ve worked with is that the acceptance is not deceptive or manipulative, it’s just neutral. Hard to describe, but I had one programmer who claimed to be great back during the Java days, not sure his cultural background, but he looked like a white guy from somewhere in America. He was lying to get the job and had fabulouser and fabulouser reasons for not being able to do it, until the lie crashed and we fired him.

This is very different from “Can you do tensorflow?” “Yes” ...check in for a week of “Yes” during daily huddles and then at the end nothing and still a “Yes, I can do it” with a perplexity of why I’m confused. Or also common the “I’ll check it in and say it works even though all tests fail and it doesn’t meet spec.”

The former is deception, the latter is sort of a disconnect with reality.

Cities are essential for social life since an abundance of social events, potential friends and sexual partners means that you'll be able to choose ones that you like more (or even have some as opposed to none).

The effect of remote work is instead that it no longer matters as much in which city you live, as long as it is large enough.
You sound like someone who immediately dismissed "all the ballyhoo" because it wasn't what you wanted to believe.

When I was Infantry I used a cocktail of caffeine and nicotine (usually nasal snuff, sometimes supplemented with dipping tobacco) to stay awake on extended missions. Since nicotine is a vasoconstrictor it inhibited night vision to some degree, but that was better than nodding off.

Now that I'm a professional engineer and no longer in indentured servitude I stick to an 8 hour work day, get 7-8 hours of sleep a night, and have the rest of the day to spend with the family. There's no reason in this day and age to work yourself to the point of chemical dependence if your life isn't on the line.
I really want an e-ink phone. But not really that phone. It seems really just to be a fashion statement. I worry it'll have very little practical utility.

The best implementation I've heard of so far was YotaPhone 2 - https://yotaphone.com/gb-en/. A proper smartphone with two screens - normal one on the front, an e-ink on the back. I was considering to buy it some time ago, but I discovered the product was abandoned. If someone could re-do this concept, but put the specs of ~Galaxy S7 inside, I'd buy that in a heartbeat, even at flagship prices.

Or even better, I'd love if someone could make a proper e-ink tablet. Give me 12.3-inch e-ink touchscreen and a software stack that would let me read, browse, write e-mails and run a text editor on it, and it'll be my new go-to machine. If I could hook up a keyboard to it and run Emacs on it (even terminal Emacs via SSH), I'd be in heaven.
I think it makes sense for something minimalist to not be an eccentric shape.
A better solution is to find a way to use the excess energy. If it gets cheap enough (zero or negative spot prices) you can just run any inefficient process once you have built the facilities to run that process.

A common example is hydrogen production. It's far less efficient as a form of storage than batteries or pumped hydro. But it has other uses beyond storage. Desalination, electric heating for heavy industry as alternative to heating with fuels, etc. are other ways.

Basically, we need consumer-side technology that can take advantage of fluctuating availability, not just producer-side adjustments.

Turn off data and just use it for calls and SMS and it’ll last even longer (just like old Nokia phones used to).

Android used to let you disable 3G/4G data and just limit the phone to 2G data - - low bandwidth but adequate for syncing email and other tasks, much lower power usage. Unfortunately that option seems to have been removed.
You start out with an idea you hope you can make work, you fudge a little and naively promise the moon, and soon enough (after a few big investments) you're in so deep there's no way out. Maybe you realize pretty quickly that the technology is a dud, but there's no exit without humiliation so you just keep digging.

The GitHub acquisition feels like losing a piece of ones "coding" childhood if there's such a thing. When we grow up, find out how things work and the innocence is lost because it feels like there is a malevolent undercurrent.
There is some cleverness going on behind the scenes, so for a large database you wouldn't necessarily have the whole thing in memory at once. But one of the big selling points of Datomic is that you get to treat the entire database as a value, and when you configure your app as a Datomic Peer (the feature I referred to above), it loads most of the Database into memory as it is needed.
Elizabeth Holmes did not happen in a vacuum of course. She is a by-product of a culture that idolizes youth, raw enthusiasm, and passion over experience and pragmatism.

Socially shaming and silencing her critics by branding them as old-fashioned, sexist and unsupportive of female CEOs in tech by the media did not help the situation either.
Precisely how does that support the statement that this is something specific to London?

Sometimes it is the cube root:

>"We learn that the force between two charges, two magnetic monopoles, or two masses all follow an inverse square law, however, most of the time, the scientific reader is not made aware of an important assumption, that of being able to model these entities as point objects. If the entities cannot be reduced to a point, then, the inverse square laws cannot be applied. As I shall mathematically show, the inverse square law changes into an inverse cube law approximation for the case of dipoles. In practice, a physicist finds that most of real life applications cannot be modelled by point entities, but only by dipoles."

Sure, you could argue that, and maybe Adam Smith was at the time. It's been a long time since I've read him, I'd have to go back and re-read it to decide to what degree I think he's making that argument. But that is not how most people understand self interest in an economic context and that is not how Adam Smith is mostly wielded today (see the post I'm responding to for an example). Most people understand "self interest" to be "financial self interest" of the sort that supposedly is the primary driver of the modern economic idea of the "rational self interested person" who operates in markets.

Further, the vast majority of stock corporations have no values, ethics, or morals. They have only the maximization of stock holder value -- which is to say: greed. We know this from piles and piles of data on corporate behavior.

People and organizations of people are very different creatures and behave in very different ways.
>those ones seem to be easy. There is no number seven.

That's a very definitive answer for a complex question. It is not immediately clear at all that there is no number 7.

There are a few accounts for how numbers could exist. Let's break down each account:

* formalism - Mathematics is a formalized activity undertaken by humans, but is ultimately a language game. This approach is problematic because no formal system is capable of enumerating all truths about Mathematics. Hence, Mathematics is not a formal activity undertaken by humans, because otherwise the methods of its formalism would allow us to enumerate each true statement.

* intuitionism - Mathematics is a psychological artifact of minds, but is not a "natural" phenomenon. This approach has problems because it fails to account for (1) the remarkable consistency and success of Mathematics, and (2) leads us to Godel's disjunction. Godel's disjunction states that either there is no algorithm capable of enumerating all true statements that a human mind enumerates, or there are some Mathematical truths that can not be decided. If there is no algorithm capable of enumerating all true statements that a mind enumerates, then the mind is not a computational system -- meaning it can not be reduced to a mathematical model of neurons communicating -- and so the meaning of a psychological artifact needs reappraised. Specifically, numbers being a psychological artifact does not imply that they do not exist naturally. However, if a human mind is a computational entity, then intutionism doesn't work for the same reasons why formalism doesn't work.

* Realism - Mathematical objects exist. Given the problems of formalism and intuitionism, this actually is among the most probable of hypotheses.

Many Mathematicians fall into the Realist category, and there are good reasons why.

Well, it really depends on the kind of battery.

I don't understand why these utilities are not creating a centralized battery in the form of, for example, pumped water. Use excess energy in the day to pump the water up, and let it down when the current energy demand exceeds standard production rates.

Pumped water is not the only possibility either, there are plenty of alternatives which are not terrible for the environment. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_storage

She probably believed in her project.

You can't know if you are going to succeed when you try to achieve a revolutionary feat. But you have to act like you are sure you will.

Imagine Jobs in an alternate universe, trying to get out the iPhone, but after years of failures and billions wasted, the world realize the product vision was unrealistic.

Basically him being the same asshole, but hitting a wall many predicted.

That would look the same as Theranos.

The difference is that Job didn't fail. But he couldn't know that before trying and commit many people and resource to it.

Imagine Elon failing as the Falcon X. Or worst, failing over and over until his company died because they lost control of one that went crashing into a school.

Imagine Zuckerberg called out about all the privacy issues on FB before it actually made benefit. I would have died.

When you try to achieve radical vision, you often either succeed as a hero or you fail as a vilain.

I get your point, but the fact that Indians say "yes" to everything (i.e. the fact they lie constantly) is not something that managers should get used to, it's something Indians have to correct.
You can design homework in a way that it's easier to solve yourself than copy the answer. Unfortunately, that's a lot of work so that few teachers do it. But I had several where copy-pasting never worked.

IMO first and foremost remote teams require good management (it helps all teams, but in remote teams it is critical): someone who will enable remote work, weed out people who spend most of their time non-productively and translate his management demands into requests that fit the workflow and schedule of his remote team.

This is a rare (and often underappreciated) skill. But until more people have it, remote work will be limited (statistically) to non-critical components and small parts of teams. My 2c.
I'm not a watch person, but bought a series 2 on sale last year. After a week I was cursing Apple because here is a device that I already feel lost without. Workout tracking is great, alerts are nice, quick views to upcoming meetings, and the list goes on. It ends up as a super useful device.

Also, niche? I literally see Apple Watches everywhere. At first I was surprised because all I read online was how the AW was a flop. I hope I can be part of a niche product as successful as the AW one day. /s

I was thinking more about how rocketry leads to jet planes. But also, my understanding was that bombs were awfully inaccurate. Not that pre-gps long range missiles are any better. My understanding was that the ramjet rockets were pretty terrifying too and did hit cities often.
Because the part quoted there is just one line that doesn't fully represent the case or the world in which it was set. At the time, there was no significant consumer market share for non-Intel-based computers. Microsoft had a monopoly on the personal computer operating system market. Saying that Apple has a monopoly on their own products isn't meaningful.
> "a form of caffeine that is particularly potent"

I've heard this over and over, but as far as I can tell, caffeine = caffeine = caffeine. I'm not a chemist, but I can't find any mention of any different forms -- it's C8H10N4O2. [1]

Is there any scientific evidence that alertness is related to anything but the quantity of caffeine, regardless of whether it's delivered as black tea, mate tea, coffee, pills, etc.? Assuming that the caffeine makes it into the bloodstream at the same rate?

Ask HN: GitHub people: how's things?
Having seen GitHub people at conferences, there is definitely a fun vibe, strong developer and open culture that you can tell people love working there. At least from my viewpoint and interactions.

This Microsoft buyout is only 4 days old so at this point nobody really knows how it will turn out 6 months or a year or two down the road.

Just some questions:

* How's morale?

* What types of change do you think this buyout will bring?

* Any indications yet of how closely MS wants to manage GitHub?

> We are already using Clojure and I would love to introduce Datomic as well but being a commercial database makes it pretty difficult.

I don't see why paying for Datomic would be a problem, but if the license is as crazy as it used to be, that's a bit scary.

For example, the license at least used to forbid even saying "Datomic" aloud in public.

Publishing benchmarks was also forbidden, which is a big red flag. If Datomic performs well, wouldn't Cognitect want lots of benchmarks out there? If it doesn't, they wouldn't!

I like the look of the hardware, particularly the e-ink ink display, but can't say the software UX appeals to me. I agree that the modern smartphone experience by default is cognitively impairing (too many notifications), but that's something I'd like to have control over, rather than take it or leave it.

I think making the software side extensible could make this a great phone for hackers.

> ( Or was that a joke I am not getting )

Yes, that was a bit of a joke in the blog entry. We suspected for years Docker would be a good fit for this project. Only within the past months did we find the time necessary to convert the hundreds of test permutations to Docker. It wasn't a quick thing, but we did get into a rhythm. The "joke," for whatever it's worth, is simply that we didn't sufficiently appreciate how useful it would be for this project and how insignificant the overhead would be. Perhaps we would have prioritized it higher in the past had we known. But it's done now!

In brief, the Docker conversion effort has increased the stability and reliability of the results.

There are a huge number of ways to consume the results and as many opinions. We welcome the diverse points of view and hope you find the data useful!
Attacks against machine learning
I would add to that the need for more expert scientific input into journalism. Properly informed journalism on science issues seems like the exception rather than the norm. Even major news organisations seem to treat science like some mysterious cult at times. I can't help thinking that most journalists probably study social science etc. at undergrad level, leaving them ill equipped for gritty technical investigation, just as you might not expect to get the most well informed theatre criticism from a civil engineer..
