A really excellent, thought-provoking talk. When the speaker declared UNIX to be essentially dead, it would have made sense to stop and take questions. That's the conclusion! Linux won the Unix wars. Debating the merits of systemd and whether to adopt it in BSD is irrelevant. BSD is in decline and will slowly fade away.
I think the idea is that if your service does more, it necessarily needs more work to maintain. From a simple point of view, there are just more moving parts to go wrong.
By law US airlines are required to let you cancel your trip upto 24 hours after you book it for a full refund. See https://bkpk.me/easy-return-tickets-for-international-travel... for more info.

In the past I've used this to great advantage by booking the outward and return legs of the journey separately. You can then cancel the return leg ticket and book a replacement later.

At the airport present tickets of both the original outward and return legs; as long as you don't overstay a visa there shouldn't be a problem. Obligatory note that this should not be taken as legal advice.
refuse to give your password: detained indefinitely
forget your password: should be released immediately

How could that possibly work? The court has no way of knowing whether someone is refusing to comply, versus being unable to because they don't know (or never knew) a secret. Because of this, it seems very likely that any claim of having forgotten (or having never known) something will be treated as contempt.
The same exact problem exists with technical skills, so I'm not sure why you're singling out culture fit.

And when companies do add objective metrics like whiteboard problems, everyone freaks out how it's not comparable "real world" (aka subjective)
Improved military technology in the area of sensors, precision, and communications (what Google was working on) actually reduces collateral damage and civilian deaths in ops that are going to happen regardless of hand-wringing.

Imagine how much worse things would be if technical progress stopped 70 years ago and the military only had battleship cannon fire and napalm firebombing at its disposal.
Can't you change your return ticket once your there? As long as you don't overstay you should be fine.
The legal = moral line of thought is one of my most hated things to come across. It correlating with the highly religious makes sense, but it's by no means limited to them. It's incredibly wide spread in American culture to have at least a small degree of that, people always feel naughty when they break the law. I too find it ridiculous.
You weren't downvoted because you were wrong - of course Hot Fuzz is significantly a comedy film. You were downvoted because you missed the sarcasm.
So is Medicare paying more than similar systems in other countries, or less, or about the same? And if Medicare is paying more than, say, Japan, but it's still not enough to cover the costs in America, what is going on structurally with the other 60% of the medical system? Because there's something structurally broken here. It's not mere profiteering - it's more like a feedback loop. For-profit medicine works effectively and affordably in at least one other country with a cost of living otherwise on par with ours.
Would love to know more about this if you have the info handy.
That is an excellent restatement of the core question. Can the process that makes "pristine ceramic" be scaled. (harder is a dependent variable on scaling difficulty.)

I don't know how much harder it is to make ceramics pristine. I am inferring that it is the thing in the article that wasn't already part of making batteries so the 'new' bit. And after seeing many, many breakthroughs where the 'new' bit was doable in small scales at great expense in a laboratory, but impossible to do at scale in an automated process, I've watched those breakthroughs go from 'world changing' to 'laboratory curiosity.'

So when Nature Materials publishes the paper on the process to repeatedly make tons of pristine ceramic material, then I will be excited for the new batteries that my devices will surely get in an upgrade.
> there is no privacy without security

This is factually incorrect. You can have privacy without security, and you can have security without privacy. Security keeps things safe, privacy keeps things hidden.

Also, ChromeOS devices ship with a rootkit called the Play Store. There are also hundreds of apps on the play store that install malware on Android devices.

"Idk, maybe I'm spending too much on the internet but it seems like the discussion around inequality has shifted from "let's increase the welfare state" to "let's dismantle capitalism and give socialism a try". "

Given how shitty capitalism is treating people right now, that's a pretty valid viewpoint.

"There seem to be a lot of people these days that call themselves Marxists or capital-S Socialists, and even some who are apologists for the likes of Stalin and Mao. These people are everywhere on Reddit and HackerNews."

So what?

"Socialists use this argument a lot but I can't think of a scenario in which socialism doesn't eventually devolve into fascism."

I can't really think of a scenario in which capitalism doesn't either.

"The great thing about capitalism is that it recognizes the inherent self-interestedness of human beings and channels it into something that is (mostly) positive for society."

This isn't a positive, and it does not channel it into positives for society. Captialism encourages things like dumping waste into rivers. How is that a positive for society?

It's no wonder why (rich) people spend so much money to get a St kitts citizenship just to avoid all this. It does really take the fun out of the travel IMO.

The worst still is the US visa in which you have to go for an interview like a fucking job interview in order for them to ascertain if you're fit or not. I have travelled so much around the world but hated traveling to US because of this reason (because at least with rest of the countries a travel agent can do almost 90% of the leg work).

But when I think calmly I don't blame them though because people do abuse it a lot. I think one time our entire rowing team disappeared in the US after arriving.
A common markup language would be great! As long as we use it in a way that keeps us far away from compatibility problems.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you may not be aware of what "!=" means. They are saying that "people who can't think for themselves" -- the original argument -- are not the same as "people who don't think just like you" -- which is their rebuttal.
So you have a list of specific character traits that you're hiring for. That's great! Everyone should have that. So just use that list as hiring criteria, and then you don't need to invoke "culture fit".

Have you ever read Moneyball by Michael Lewis? It's about how a baseball team in the early 2000's took a look at market inefficiencies and used it to put together a great team for real cheap. It's like, how is it possible that a multi-billion dollar league was so unable to figure out their hiring process/talent assessment? They have reams of performance data and just needed to apply analysts to it.

Whenever people start talking about the best ways to hire, I generally just start thinking about Moneyball and game theory and how most people are just making shit up with no clue why they're succeeding or failing. Every success story is equal parts "I worked real hard" and "There are far too many variables/luck for me to ever possibly be able to account for them objectively" but everyone like to put a narrative on it and be a hero (or cast someone as a villain).

Yes.

A great company should have an eclectic mix of skin colors, backgrounds, sexes, etc. Diversity is power. But this also includes diversity of thought-- you should have complete liberals, staunch conservatives, atheists, the faithful, etc.

You'll need an HR department with a backbone, to ensure everybody understands the importance of being civil. With great diversity comes great (and wide) perspective.
I like this, but I'm wondering how strict the format is.

It's ridiculous.

I recently started a nonprofit organization to resolve the problems I talked about in this comment [1]. The tl;dr: interdisciplinary researchers who could meaningfully contribute to climate science are stymied by the availability and clarity of high quality data.

If you would like to help out with this, whether through research or development, please feel free to get in touch with me via email. I own 512TB HDD storage, 512GB RAM, 10TB NVMe SSD storage and 136 vCPUs for this purpose, and the work is in active development.

On a more personal note, I'd recommend you also look at ways you can change your habits and lifestyle. If you can cut back on eating beef that's helpful; you can also try to bike more often and use less electricity.

I believe the only proper step up from your setup would be to switch to browsing exclusively via Tor. Generally smaller browsers that advertise themselves as "privacy-maximizing" make basic mistakes like serving their own user agent - instead of using one of the extremely common user agents. Or at least that was the situation a few years ago.
The main reason why the issue isn't present in Firefox is because their PDF reader (PDF.js) does not have an API to trigger requests (it does execute JS included within the PDF though)

How to deploy an app to production with an actual button
Surprise level: 0
Several years ago, right here on HN, a Google employee expressed shock that candidates wouldn't bother to open the "red book" and review before showing up for an interview at Google. I had no idea what the "red book" was. Turns out that it's a particular algorithms textbook used by several top universities. That poster was so wrapped up in a particular culture that he was using colloquial slang to refer to expectations.

That's about the same time I realized tech hiring is almost entirely about cultural bias. Watching coworkers talk about rejected candidates as if they were morons for simply having a slightly different approach to, say, OOP architecture, further convinced me of this.

In my experience, "culture fit", as cited in post-interview discussion, was almost purely code for ageism. Meanwhile, most of the supposedly technical stuff was really culture.

sms password resets are not 2fa. 2fa means you have two factors of authentication. If the only thing you need to authenticate is control over a phone number, then that's just one factor.

Two factor authentication is when you need both a password and an SMS token, like how GitHub does it.

I'm not saying SMS 2fa is strong enough, often passwords are weak and/or weakly guarded, and ostensibly phone numbers can be fidgeted with. But having a phone number be the only thing guarding your entire identity is a whole next level of weak.
At the last place I worked, the interview process went like this:

Come up with a list of questions. Ask each person the same list in front of a committee, and the committee members individually scored their answers. Total the scores, and recommend the highest scoring person for hiring. Then Management took that recommendation and sometimes did a second round of interviews.

Did they hire the best people? Sometimes yes, possibly.

It was at least an attempt towards objectivity. Although there certainly was discussion that "we want to hire somebody that is going to fit on the team." Of course the problem with this attitude is that it caters to everybody's built-in biases, leading to exactly the all the gender and other discriminatory outcomes we typically see in IT.

I don't think anybody really knows how to do hiring.

Can you elaborate on that, maybe give a few examples? I always thought that inventions were mainly judged by their merit (efficiency), I guess I was blind to the "scaling" (i.e. "actual industry") variable, and just assumed that there must be some way to automate and streamline almost everything, as long as the demand is there (as Elon Musk has recently been showing, with batteries/electric cars and rockets).
I do not live in the US and therefore I am not sure why medicine has been singled out as a worthy profession to receive subsidy over many others? Don’t those in the medical profession get paid reasonably well over there? Aren’t there other professions equally necessary for a functional society that don’t get compensated as well as they should like teachers, social workers and those in the voluntary sectors who would be better off with this money? I personally think this is a misjudged priority in the grand scheme of things.
