I'm a bit skeptical of an organisation that recommends eating lots of carbs and margarine. Is there good scientific evidence that salt is dangerous? A priori I'd find that strange, because our kidneys are good at filtering out salt, so why would the body have any trouble with salt as long as you drink enough water?

This is a good sentiment to have. My dad was my dad until I left home for university - he loved us and provided for us but also was the authority and disciplinarian when necessary. Now that I've got my independence and my own household, my relationship with my dad is far more like one of friendship, alongside my trust in him as a mentor or life advisor, if I feel like I need that kind of advice. I feel like it's been integral for my development as a person and value our relationship immensely.

Tesla has a history of build quality issues that are forgivable by early adopters but still represent significant barriers to wide-scale adoption. I think the incumbent automakers can match what Tesla’s doing before Tesla can develop the manufacturing chops to fully compete.

Remember that before iPhone launched, Apple was already a leader in handheld consumer electronics with the iPod, with a level of operational expertise that more than matched any competitor. Not to mention lots and lots and lots of cash and time to spend on solving the hard problems before they had to launch. All luxuries that Tesla lacks.

Again, multivariate thinking is important. GPA alone doesn't predict everything, but it is one predictor in a complicated function and it may have varying sensitivities in different ranges as well as have interacting terms with other variables.

One needs to factor in all the other predictors, as you alluded to in your story.

> Intel and Nvidia are now the underdogs in their own races

For Nvidia specifically I think that's only true of the gaming market (maybe crypto as well?), but my understanding is their massive increase in value over the last half-decade or so is predominantly from the deep learning market, where they continue to dominate by no small margin due to CUDA being a hard dependency of the major DL frameworks.

I don't have any hard numbers on it, but I wouldn't be surprised if the CUDA-tax is more than the Intel-tax ever was.

That's a well polished minesweeper. (Nicer looking than the one I made a few years ago for sure.)

Biggest quality of life improvement you could make would be to ensure that the first click is a blank space, ie move anything in the 3x3 block around the first click to another position. That tends to be the differentiator for good Minesweeper implementations IMO.
Unless they master some sort of hive/swam worker architecture which works in an autonomous way the timeline seems very aggressive. Sending humans to space that far out on asteroids can be super expensive project to get materials available on earth.

Shopping for me involves so much loading and unloading that I'm happy to cut out one of the steps.

First, as you're shopping, you load everything into the cart. Then, you get to the cash register, and at most supermarkets you have to take everything out of the cart so the cashier can scan it (if you're at a Kroger, you can skip this step). After the cashier is done, you may or may not have to put the bags back in the cart yourself depending on whether or not there's a dedicated bagger. Then, you take your cart to the car and you load up the car. Now, the next step will probably be different if you own your own car; I don't, so I either go to the supermarket with someone I know or take Lyft. In either case, I take everything out of the trunk and put them in front of my front door. After everything's done and the driver has driven away, I unlock and open the door and take all the bags into my house. Then I sort through my bags and begin putting all the individual groceries wherever they're supposed to go.

It's exhausting. If I can cut out even one of those steps, I'm happy. At Kroger, I'll just wheel my cart over to the cashier's station, swipe my Kroger Plus card, stick my credit card in the chip reader, and play with my phone until the machine starts beeping at me to take the card out.

Hi all; I wrote this article and would love to hear your feedback (and invite you to listen to our podcast!)
In a what timeline? I don't think many have predicted bankruptcy this year.

Tesla has 1-2 years but it has very tight timeline to deliver. It probably has to dilute stock and take very high interest loans (and break yet one promise) to survive. Change of ownership for cheap price is also technically survival but not what investors have in mind.

It does not help that next regression might be come within next two years.

The CUDA tax is serious, however in this case it is mostly the fault of competing vendors that there is no CUDA or almost-CUDA implementation, since it is fairly high-level, unlike an ISA and the accompanying treadmill of patented features which move the expiry date of the "platform" 20 years into the future every couple years.

That's a good point. I'm not sure because I haven't been doing it regularly enough because of the friction of adding cards into the system.

I do want to note that once the cards are added to Anki, it will force you to review the card at the right times automatically to keep retention high. This is assuming you have a system that forces you to review Anki content daily. I am not sure how big of a difference it will make to keep retention high if you're not adding cards manually.
And aside from annexing part of another country and downing a commercial airliner, nothing to see here. Just some light active measures against democratic elections from Russia - not something to get hysterical about.
As someone who has interviewed and been rejected several times, I don't think cheating is why someone with good grades would do poorly at a coding interview.

Some people are good test takers on paper. Ask me to whiteboard some code, and I genuinely get stuck on trivial problems because whiteboarding coding questions is not what I am great at.

I've worked at Amazon and now I am at Google - after alot if stress, anxiety, and prep, I was able to get through and get hired. Microsoft outright rejected me.

One other thing - CS degrees don't teach people to code. They reach computer science. It just so happens that labs and assignments may require coding, but spending half a day or a day to do a project and getting an A has very little relationship with being forced to quickly hash out code in a 45 min interview.

IMO, at both companies I have been at, the majority of new hires are fresh grads. The barrier to entry whose been out of school is extremely high... but I digress.
1. Because the industry lobbied heavily for the CFPB and others to be neutered
2. There is demand for short term cash. But not for usurious loan sharking that has deep social consequences.

Many of the "services" provided here are predatory rather than rehabilitative and it's entirely possible to have the latter without the former, ideally via something like a post office bank.

That the firms are profitable is secondary to whether it's a useful social good.

Alternative perspective: the popularity of the NES in North America stopped the C64 from being the defacto gaming computer/console.

If they put more emphasis on releasing cartage based titles, bundled a game pad, and made the keyboard an accessory and got the timing right, it would have been a much better device to have in every living room in the 1980s and early 90s.
Micro:bit Educational Foundation | Lead Developer - website and services (fullstack) | Oxford, UK | ONSITE with flexibility, Full-time
The Micro:bit Educational Foundation (http://microbit.org) is a not-for-profit with the global vision of helping every child to be an inventor. We are enabling children around the world to get creative with technology and learn to code in school, in clubs and at home. We do this primarily through educational programs based around the BBC micro:bit board, and building technology that just works for teachers and students in a school environment.

To do this we're looking for a committed, flexible and collaborative software engineer to lead the development, deployment and maintenance of our systems and web presence at microbit.org.

This site is the first port of call for millions of students and teachers around the world who are learning about coding and technology using the BBC micro:bit. The role will require you to work with a range of languages and tools; we need someone who can start with what we have and lead the creation of our next generation platform.

Alongside this you will start to develop our community portals, ecosystem and accessory listings, and work with upstream communities to enhance the micro:bit code editors (makecode.microbit.org is Typescript and python.microbit.org is Javascript+Python). Our current stack includes Ruby/Jekyll and CircleCI deployments to AWS.

More info https://micro-bit-educational-foundation.workable.com/j/E27C....

As well as building our own suite of sites and services, we also need to be confident contributing to and staying on top of other open-source tools that our partners are developing in conjunction with us. Most significantly, these are Typescript (makecode.microbit.org) and JS+Python-based (python.microbit.org)

It's awesome working for a creative not-for-profit that's all about broadening the range of people that get excited by computing. We're flexible about office hours, working style, and the team's built from people passionate about EdTech. This person will be hiring other team members as we grow.

We've only got the web tech lead job up right now, but all future jobs will go up here: https://micro-bit-educational-foundation.workable.com/
Suppose there was a text-based format for mixing code/patch and commentary, and that this format lent itself well to processing in such ways as:

- merge/collate commentary (from many emails, say)
- display source with collapsed/collapsable commentary
- track commentary accepted/rejected/extant/addressed status
- track commentary metadata (who, when)

Would that address your comment / needs?

I mean, I use GUI/web-y code review tools because I find them much easier to use than email, but only because the problem they solve is: keeping track of all commentary. Collating comments (and status) from many emails is a time-consuming chore -- I hate it, and it's the only reason I don't want to do code review over email, but it's the only reason I have for not wanting to do code review over email. If we can solve this problem, then I'd be ecstatic to do code review over email.
Show HN: Big Phoney – generate english pronunciations from any word
I totally agree. I was stuck at the Broadway Junction station this weekend waiting for the L. Every 5 min or so, both the screen and the announcer would claim it is now arriving. We were there for 35 min. I was supposed to meet some friends and initially I was updating them that it's about to get there. Eventually, they were almost pissed because they thought I was lying. Had to send pics.

I really really get frustrated by the inaccuracies. I'd rather they just let me know straight up that it's 30 min away and I make alternative arrangements.
