Situation here is of real world which is different from software world. Real world equipment can degrade/develop faults after use so its important to inspect them before each job(especially when risk associated are very high) which is possible only when person is familiar with equipment construction and building things yourself is the best way to get familiar with its mechanics.Whereas in software world, things don't degrade with use and we have option to automate inspection cheaply.

I've seen suggestions from ex-Microsoft employees that the only reason they were even charging money for Visual C++ and the rest of their toolchain was to avoid killing off the third-party market. They wanted to be as developer friendly as possible and that meant having a variety of choices so everyone could use what they liked most. Now that MinGW and LLVM have made it easy to get free and open source toolchains for Windows (and even MSVC compatible ones from LLVM) they do just give away most of their developer tools. They can't open source the compiler though because they don't write the C++ frontend parser/lexer, that comes from a third party.

Well its kinda both, no?

Sometimes aggression is constructive or useful in situations like negotiating. Sometimes it is counterproductive and considered harmful.

What I took away from the OP is that we cannot blindly act on our emotions - that having an intermediate, self-reflective and self-questioning step in how we act and think is vital in order to be happy and successful in the world in which we live.

And, of course, this includes questioning the self-questioning. Sometimes it's the wrong time to question, and it is the right time to act on unfettered emotion.

The question is, when? ;)

You don't have to wonder all that hard given how publicly Google has discussed their stance on this. They have been using their leverage to try to force SSL usage for some time, including adversely affecting search rankings for sites that don't use it. They have clearly articulated many times they think SSL everywhere is important for the web, and they have the leverage in search/browser marketshare to try to make this a reality.

References? I mean, I in fact believe this, none of my post above was arguing with the basic point. Rather, my point literally that this is controversial because this testing is hard. You can't just write a loop over all papers, hardware configurations and so-forth. I can't imagine a given paper would do more than look at a handful of papers, do some common sense reasoning and some statical reasoning. And from the common sense side of it, yeah, seems logical but the problem is that's less than absolute and as the OP and my GP note, researchers have incentive to write "that one paper where the architecture really matters"

An example is a military servicemember or police officer who needs to assault you to prevent you from assaulting someone else. Normally you could sue but because they're preventing you from committing a crime by use of force they have immunity.
No, it won't. Anxiety lasts long after the actions have been made and the initial threat eliminated because a lot of people with anxiety disorders will tend to ruminate on their actions and possibly even catastrophize about them, creating to a whole different kind of anxiety that are at times unactionable. This is how people end up with PTSD.

I've been trying very hard to break out of this cycle and can tell you first hand it's not in anyway beneficial or pleasant and is actually very very destructive.
It certainly starts off that way, but right about the time you have most of your opcodes written and can start stepping through your code, it becomes very exciting very quickly. "Ooh, now I have Tetris getting far enough that I think it's writing to tile memory; can I display that?" "Neat! I wonder if any other games are getting that far. How hard would it be to get the backgrounds working now?"

Suddenly every game you have in your library becomes puzzle box and either works (yay!) or much more often for a young emulator, breaks in a perplexing way. It creates a really rewarding feedback loop, where tiny changes to timers and status registers can have big sweeping effects on your tests. And all your tests are themselves games, and usually fun to explore anyway.
Amazingly, FORTRAN doesn’t even require spaces between keywords and variable names. So when the compiler sees FORI=1 it has to look still further ahead to decide if this is a for-loop (FORI=1TO9DO) or an assignment to a variable named FORI.

That's Chris Urmson's talk at SXSW in 2016 [1], which has been widely viewed. It's one of the best talks on the subject.
He said "How quickly can we get this into people's hands? If you read the papers, you see maybe it's three years, maybe it's thirty years. And I am here to tell you that honestly, it's a bit of both." Then he showed video of Google cars dealing with various challenging conditions. This included the famous scene where a Google self driving car encountered a woman in a powered wheelchair using a broom to chase a turkey. The software recognized this as something to avoid, even though it didn't classify it further.

I mostly agree with this sentiment, but I find it a bit friendlier to other developers to assert(x not null) in most languages, at least so that they can find out sooner that the error is, in fact, their fault.

I'm not seeing loyalty from your side. From here, it looks like you are about maximizing profitability at our expense, and the "stable relationship" is an abusive one.

Consider NATO. The USA spends 3.6% of the world's largest GDP on military. You agreed to spend only 2% of your smaller GDP, but only 3 countries (UK, Poland, Estonia) bother to do so. Overall the EU is a slacker, with some countries spending less than 1% of their GDP. NATO is really about defending Europe, but the military budget of all of Europe is less than half of the US military budget.

Meanwhile, you are imposing your own huge tariffs on US products and flat out banning us from selling you stuff like Swiss cheese. You're even trying to get us to agree to ban making Swiss cheese in our own country, forcing us to import it from Switzerland. I'm guessing you don't see how absurd that is; you have a financial motivation to believe that your rules make sense. You've even screwed up the web, with your silly cookie warnings, and now again with some GDPR thing.

You've had a great deal, and you don't want it to end. I get that. It's understandable. The deal was made in the ruins of WWII, to our disadvantage, when Europe was in ruins. You're better now. It's time to have a fair deal for this modern world.

For non-americans, the idea of a group of people who do not instantly submit to individual figures in authority, but instead, resist those in authority if they believe that those in authority are infringing on rights that are protected by the constitution, may seem really bizarre.

To condemn an organization because their raison d'etre is such resistance, would be normal in other countries, but it's a little frightening how a quick google search shows that condemnation here in America (assuming the people who wrote those pages were American).

I know a lot of HN readers are not American, so just wanted to clarify that we do have a slightly less submissive culture over here.

Those smoke jumpers aren’t making their own nuts and bolts, ropes, cloth, or felling their own trees. They’re making tools by assembly. Many of us work the same way.

From what I understand every master craftsman has a small quantity of tools they either made themselves or at least modified to purpose. Tools with bits added on or ground off (eg, wrenches ground thin for tight spots, or magnetized).

I also found some incantations that took download times from roughly an hour to less than 20 minutes.

Tangential question: is it possible to use wget for ftp duties? Though may be additional FTP-specific functionality in `aria2c` of course:

This is a really interesting take, and I think explains why so many young Americans feel disillusioned. It's not the inequality that bothers them per se, it's the fact that they can't afford to buy homes and that their educations have put them in a lifetime of debt. It's the fact that millennials will end up poorer than their parents and won't achieve the standard milestones of adulthood until later in life.

Exactly the same thing that's stopping the landlords from raising the rent by $300 right now - supply and demand.

If the people receiving UBI are universally spending that money on something other than rent, then the landlords who raise their rent by the UBI amount will become noncompetitive and fail to attract tenants.

To presume that 100% of the UBI will simply be absorbed by the landlords is absurd, not only because of the above argument, but because for many people, the UBI will be significant enough to swing them to home ownership instead of renting, putting additional pressure on the landlords not to raise prices.

Kiln drying doesn't produce ready to use lumber for fine woodworking or demanding applications. It's fine for construction material but needs additional seasoning and acclimatization in the environment it's going to be used in if it's to be used for anything else.

Fast drying will also introduce stress and warping to the wood. It would not work when long straight and thick material is needed.

I can confirm that rates are a lot lower than what they used to be. Comparing what I earned in 1996 with 2018, the actual income at the end of the month is about 20% of what was there in 1996 for about twice as much work, and 20 years experience more.

For the contractual side, if you are in Europe, one-sided rules in such contracts are easily removed, since they are void by European laws.

It's the same with US companies insisting that you do not work for a competitor after contracts end but European laws actually then require the company to pay you for monetary loss or such clauses are void. Also has been confirmed in court cases.

Regarding lack of information or even invalid information before signing contracts: this is also grounds for annulling the contract.

At a previous tech support position, I collaborated with a data scientist to create a predictive alert system based on system notification data. It would monitor the quantity of noise from each interface on the network and alert on anomalies in Slack. The only issue was that it didn't work - we saw only false positive noise, and it sat quiet during actual incidents. It would be interesting to see another team's attempts, and what different design choices they make.
I was speaking more colloquially. Yes of course they _can_ complain. But I was more suggesting that many people would not complain its unfair without making the connection to their taxes rising. Also, btw many UBI schemes do not intend to raise taxes, but to be a bureaucracy-free distribution algorithm.
Causal inference (Causal reasoning)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causal_inference ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causal_reasoning )
One thing I'd encourage is to build a culture of looking at graphs daily as a matter of practice. Alerts are only as effective as the knowledge of the writer, and human based detection is almost-always the first step to better alerting.

By looking at graphs on a daily basis, one can become much more rapid in being able to diagnose issues quickly, and also understand what the root cause is of the underlying issue (assuming you're measuring XYZ that broke). So many times I was able to look at a graph and go, "Something isn't right", long before an alert would go off. I wasn't magical, I just had spent a little bit of time every day reviewing graphs, so that I could pick out subtle changes across a handful of graphs very rapidly, which would have also been hard to pre-emptively build checks around.

One additional thought is to not over-alert. Alert fatigue is your greatest enemy, and needs to be avoided at all costs. If you're not reacting to an alert, you should question whether or not you need it.
