i'd guess that aggregate growth has outpaced other 'stagnating' factors which led to state of non-growth, aka the growth curves have adjusted for laptops, tablets, and smart phones

The example looks fine to me. If the writer blocks until the partition is resolved, then it isn’t Available for writes, so only meets CP.
I’ve encountered many different organisations that have the same issues. Similar to yourself, I’ve challenged myself not only to survive but to thrive in this type of environment.

What really help was reading about human psychology, chanting and generally discussing this with other folk who have been or are in similar environments. Buddhist philosophy has also aided me tremendously in seeing things from a different perspective far deeper than the surface. In general, though the environment may be toxic, fundamentally we are all human beings with different goals, motivations and aspirations.

Happy to discuss with if you’d like.
It goes up to 71% at £100,000+ (then drops again at £123,700), including NI and Student Loans - maybe even over 100%, depending on how much childcare you lose out on.

For example, going from £100,000 to £100,001/year immediately costs you 570 hours/year of free childcare (potentially a couple of thousand pounds per year), and all of your tax-free childcare (potentially over a thousand pounds per year).

Note that this does require _one_ person in a couple to be earning over £100,000, so it's hard to have a lot of sympathy in that case - that certainly doesn't count as struggling! On the other hand, it's also not at all progressive - it comes in all at once, potentially meaning you should refuse a pay rise. It's also _very_ different to the headline tax rate of 40% that you _think_ you're paying...

I am trying to understand what you say. So basically this was not clear for you from the beginning?
I think it's great that your code is open source. The other self driving cars are all based on secret code that the public is not allowed to inspect or audit. This is extremely worrying.

Having your code open source means that outsiders will notice flaws in it, try not to "push back" too much against them. Sometimes they will point out serious flaws that allow you to improve your code significantly, sometimes they will point out non-issues or simply be wrong about things. So instead you should embrace it and take the time to consider the feedback. The crowd is a valuable resource that you have, that closed source projects don't.
Ask HN: Do you have a home office (if you work from home)?
Am considering taking on a new job which would involve 2 days/week of remote work. My apartment is pretty small, I don't really have room for a home office. Most of my out of office coding is done on the couch, but I don't think that scales to 16+hours/week.

Do you have a home office? Why (not)? Any tips?

Thanks!
But if the government isn't going to subsidize learning, in a way you have to give a degree to everyone who "buys" one. Having someone go 6 figures in debt and walk away with nothing is just too destructive.
I think the interest in PCs grew, especially amongst the younger generation. With the new budget CPUs offering real good performance (a 8th gen i3 can offer approximately the same performance as a 7th gen i5), you can get much higher performance for your money than laptops. The price gap is much more evident when it comes to gaming.

Among my friends in their 20s, most of them want to build a PC. It could be the case that my generation didn't experience the growth and the decline of the PC market and we don't appreciate the value of laptops yet. The hype for building a custom PC certainly exists.

But from a consumer's standpoint, I also think laptops win in most cases.

Correction: Thanks to the reply, I noticed that "PC Market" statistics included both Laptops and Desktop PCs. I am leaving this post as is, as it represents my ideas on why there is still a -possibly growing?- interest for desktop PCs.
Millennial here too.

I absolutely agree with this. The issues mentioned are too real (forgetting your birthday, etc).
The thing is, if someone is forc example not good at numbers growing up, they where probably good at something else.

Everybody is good at something, its a matter of trying different things out.

We will be better of persuing our natural tendencies and talent areas, and spend our persistence there rather than in some other area that we are not naturally gifted at.

There is usually a natural overlap between the areas we are interested and the ones we are talented.

If we follow that intersection of interest and talent our changes of being able to make a career in that area are higher.
“What are all these injections for?” seems a natural question to ask. I doubt they thought they were being vaccinated that regularly.
> Or perhaps with paper, where we get to choose what light to use for our nighttime reading, and it is often done with a light dedicated specifically to that task, we tend to choose low blue lights?

An e-ink screen with light turned off should be similar to paper (a little less contrast than a book, perhaps, but higher than a "grey" newspaper).

And while we have a lot of terrible modern light sources, a regular glow lamp would be much warmer than a typical "white" led.
Either the proof is incorrect or he/she set it up in a way to make it look extremely trivial.

The way I saw the proof go is: to satisfy CAP, you need replication, and you need high availability. To be consistent you need replication. But if you don’t have a reliable network, you don’t get reliable replication. Therefore you can’t be consistent. To me, this is a trivial result, and I’m not sure that this is what the CAP theorem intends to say?

It would be better to do, as you say, assume that a system is CA, And prove why it can’t be partition tolerant. Saying “network is unreliable” isn’t a suitable jump in argument IMO.

People wonder why Millenials aren't more up-in-arms about data breaches and identity theft, and why they prefer pseudononymous currencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum over the real banking system with its KYC requirements.

I bet most Millenials barely know what the bitcoin is and are hoping Ethereum is some cool new drug.
What’s wrong with good cruise control? Any modern car is already loaded with expensive cruise control, often with distance sensing, some times with lane assist etc.
There is a huge market for this and a few players (such as Bosch Mobility) own the market. I don’t see why it’s a bad idea to try to enter this market as a startup. You don’t have to revolutionize or disrupt a market to have a viable product.

I think (like Hotz) that very good assist tech is the future, and dodgy self driving tech is a temporary fad.

Complete autonomy on geofenced highways may well be good enough soon that we can sleep or work for 90% of the commute because the autonomous system can give us 20 sec to take over when confused, rather than 1. And that can probably be solved with very cheap hardware (1-2 cameras, a front radar) compared to the huge expensive lidar and camera arrays you need for driving in complex scenarios.

So if someone can make a system that offers fantastic assist and limited but safe autonomy for 10% of the roads but 90% of the driving time - that’s not a bad thing.
To add to the parent poster's advice of looking for somewhere else and not participte (which will take huge efforts and sacrifices), in the same lines of reasoning that we are what you eat, that we are the sum of our habits, we also eventually become our working persona.

If you don't like the behaviours and ethos of the people around you, ask yourself if you're OK to become like that, because you will, and not just in your work but it will become part of your personality, who you are, and how you behave with your friends and family.

Also, life's too short to spend half of your waking time in a toxic environment.

OK, if you define the availability of writes in this way, that they must complete immediately, then indeed the availability part of CAP is not met.

However his definition reads:
"every request received by a non-failing node in the system must result in a response"

It doesn't say anything about the timing of response. The network partition will be resolved eventually and thus the write operation will complete. Or it can time out and return an error, which is also fine based on the definition of availability (must result in a response).
In my home office, I use a Poang chair from Ikea. Been doing it for about 2.5 years. I don't have a lot of paper in my workflow. A couch would work for me about as well...

...anyway, to me there's no reason not to use a couch first and figure out if it does or does not work. If after a few weeks or months it doesn't work, you'll have a better idea what will and won't work for you. Before spending money.

Good luck.
These are some good points, but people still compare themselves to the prior generation and notice, that while they have a whole bunch of luxuries their parents never had [1], that they also can't afford other luxuries. Like housing. My parents had a huge house and property by the time they turned 30. While some people still buy houses in their 20s, they're usually small shit houses with tiny properties.

[1] The whole computer thing, generally much better healthcare, much better daycare offerings if you're the sort of person that wants or has to give her children away, etc.; or even things like being able to buy a used car for 5k with excellent interior, crash safety and gimmicks. (But you of course can't afford to fuel it, so maybe that's a moot point).

As much as I respect Brieman, I think he latched on too hard on his pet theory that all that ensembles do is reduce variance, and by doing so missed out on what boosting does.

Yeah, random forests work really well but they are layers and layers of hacks, thumb rules and intuition piled on top of the other. I cant claim with a straight face that any of them follows from solid principles.

How it works:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIkaIZYy72I
A big issue I see is this idea of judging outcomes as positive/negative, instead of accepting people's processes.

After starting therapy, I cut off communication from my parents at least twice. Is this a positive example of someone who's codependently avoiding their parents or someone learning to detach from their parents?

Trick question: it's both.

Another issue with measuring effectiveness is we aren't gathering information about the therapists' beliefs/mindsets. I dropped a therapist because she started adopting my own parents' financial insecurities, shouted "you're going to run out of money" at me a couple times during a session. Anxiety over money was a key issue for me, so I asked her multiple times not to repeat messages to me that might reinforce my thinking. She ended the session with a comment about running out of money, so I dropped her.

I've since gotten over my money anxieties to the point that I've essentially taken a vow of service & poverty as I try to minimize my participation in capitalism. While I'm happy and love my new life free from worrying about money or how to meet my needs, I don't know if this would be considered a desirable therapeutic outcome when considering the rest of society. Of course, society's wellbeing is also really subjective and we are slow to evaluate our culture for long-term effects.

I also started practicing Nonviolent Communication 2.5 years ago. For a while, I was kind of robotic in my communication style after, since I was structuring most sentences as "When (I|you) <observation without evaluation>, (I|you) feel <emotions without evaluation>, because (I|you) need <specific human need without specifying strategy for meeting the need>." Is this temporary rigidity considered negative? What about any person who sticks with the language they use throughout their life?

We program ourselves & each other with our words and I view therapy sessions as guided debugging sessions where I work to figure out ways I've programmed myself or been programmed that are unsustainable. This perspective is therapeutically useful to me & the success of my therapy sessions has deepened, as a result. These days, therapy is more of a safe guard to keep me in check as I play with my mind and perceptions, though I'm still working on my anxiety with writing. I don't know how any of that can be accounted for in these studies and while I may be an outlier, I know that learning to pay attention to outliers is how innovations can come about.
