"simulated a collision by launching a small quadcopter out of a cannon at 238 mph (383 km/h)"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's faster than the maximum structural speed of the M20, 195 KCAS (knots indicated airspeed). https://www.aopa.org/go-fly/aircraft-and-ownership/aircraft-...

Just more drone FUD. Anyone flying a drone intentionally or recklessly in the path of any passenger aircraft should be punished, and in many (most?) cases can already be punished. If you're flying a drone high enough that the impact is comparable to that at sea level, you're probably per se flying recklessly unless you're following standard procedure and rules for normal aircraft, including professional certification.
I'm so frustrated with star citizens development. Don't get me wrong I'm a happy backer (only $20 so maybe that's why haha), but I spent months of my free time writing software to work with star citizen, and due to the glacial pace, I feel like it's a waste of time.

Full voice controlled copilot with onscreen overlays, voic support and fully customisable commands - useful for the dozen or so pilots I was able to get to test, but it's quite difficult to gain any sales when the game isn't anywhere near where we thought it would be by now.

Oh well, at least I learnt a lot (my first software release haha).
He's saying if you spent a few weeks getting hooked up to the exchange directly, you possibly could have gotten your order filled for $10 a share
That seems like a problem with the culture that women shouldn't have to bear the consequences of.
Was he wrong? I used SendGrid for a while, and ultimately stopped when I found that I had better deliverability sending email directly from an EC2 instance. And I certainly receive plenty of spam via SendGrid.

Oh, dear. Is this the same kind of decades-old TCP/IP stacks that crash if you ping them the wrong way?
So, first off, I am not saying internalizers are all evil and that pfof is bad. That $2.40 your retail trade earned the internalizer is the price you pay for convenience and immediacy. You let someone else handle the order and they do what they want with it - within certain guidelines.

You could have saved the hypothetical $2.40 had you traded differently, albeit slower, and caused less market impact with your order. Of course, trading slower comes with its own slippage risk or opportunity cost that the market moves out of your favor. But it could also move in your favor... However, if you let a greedy HFT use your order to impact the market - it will always be out of your favor.

For a small retail guy, you are powerless unless there is a RobinHood 2.0 that decides to offer comm-free trades + does not sell your orders + makes money doing something else ... stock loan maybe?

EDIT: Also the HFTs hate limit orders because it reduces the amount they can internalize. They also generally have a contractual obligation to always execute your order. So you can always use a limit at or inside the offer if youre buying, and potentially save on that cost.
Does this apply to an ordinary low-level retirement investor like me? If I am buying, let's say $500 a week, in some fund as part of my IRA, what does a LIMIT/STOP order do for me? I'm buying it no matter what, the share price is meaningless to me, I will just get more or less shares.
A presentation is subjective. Unless you are literally showing people recorded values and scientific study methodology verbatim, it is subjective and open to interpretation to some degree.
Ask HN: How do you deal with anxiety/insecurity over salary?
Between friends, here, on blind, etc. it's always a given that somebody will be making more than you. And up to a point it's helpful to understand what market rate looks like.

But what do you do if you try your best, grind leetcode, interview, negotiate, etc. and you still find yourself "behind" [1]?

I don't think the solution is making more money, per se, but managing how you feel about it.

I feel like my life took a sharp turn for the worse when I found out how much my buddies at Google make. Even though I have more than I need to be happy, I still feel this dissatisfaction that permeates everything I do. Living in the Bay area I feel it's impossible to escape it. How do you all manage this?

[1] Obviously a ludicrous term for making many multiples of the national average.

Edit: The experiences I listed above make reference to the field of software engineering in the Bay area, but I am interested in answers from everybody.
This knowledge is dated about a year, which is an eternity in this space, so take it with a grain of salt.

I do not know anything about GCP, but between AWS and Azure, go with Azure if you are at all new to this space (or if you're just looking to get something up and running quickly to prove a concept).

AWS takes the approach of giving you the building blocks which you then must assemble yourself. Azure gives you a silky-smooth GUI (ML Studio) with which you can have a model up and running in literally minutes. Of course you can also go lower-level in Azure if you want.
Based on https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/15/tech/softbank-stock-saudi-ara... https://techcrunch.com/2016/10/14/softbank-and-saudi-arabias... it seems about half of that is Saudi money, a quarter of it is SoftBank money and while there are a few trust accounts among the SoftBank principal shareholders https://group.softbank/en/corp/irinfo/stock/ownership/#sec-0... they do not seem to have a large percentage. How bad it would be if the Saudis would lose a few (ten) billion dollars, that I can't tell.

Arm Holdings is held fully by SoftBank and the Vision Fund, should they fail, i am not sure what would happen but my guess is Arm would get out of the tumble relatively unscathed, it's too valuable.
As someone who has worked in carpentry, and as a software engineer for 10 years now, I completely disagree. I actually see the skill gap between ok, good, and great as being really similar in carpentry and software. A junior carpenter will make a lot of mistakes.

Especially as many software devs are becoming more like "code plumbers," if anything the skill gap may be bigger in carpentry in the future.
It absolutely blows my mind that your response to this information is that not enough people are thinking of men.

>why not just send it out to everyone and show this disproportion with data instead of just making it an assumption?

Because all projects and studies have to have a scope or they would all use infinite resources. I'm sure there's an absolute plethora of studies that have already established the hugely disproportionate amount of sexual harassment that is by men against women.

> My parents met in the workplace. I have a friends who have too. I havn't looked up the statistics but I assume it is double-digit percentages of marriages start as workplace relations. It is unfortunate if you think that isn't acceptable, because it clearly is.

Conflating financial power relationship dynamics with garden variety workplace romance is some serious moving of goalposts.

Seriously, one of the major reforms in venture capital in the last 25 years has been to reduce the amount of power tripping that goes on between VCs and founders. That's the idea that YC is founded on. This is another example, and an incredibly shitty one. Why defend it?

Isn't this only true for the non-paying users, who are not subscribers of their premium plan? That's probably their entire (freemium) business model. It's the same with Revolut: free users might lose more money in foreign exchange and withdrawal fees, which pushes them to upgrade[1].

I don't understand the outline of your argument. If what you're saying is true, then you can non-hypothetically save that $2.40 by... trading slower and with less impact on the market.

This is why I asked for specificity. Yes, we agree, internalizers pay for order flow because they can make money on it. The question is: can you make that money on your own order flow, or is the allocation of orders to internalizers Pareto-optimal?
this article is extremely misleading, creating what essentially is a fake controversy. I highly recommend reading this SEC guide to understand how it really works.

So because these candidates were more competitive college applicants than you, there's no clear and blatant systematic bias? Harvard and Duke are both more selective/prestigious than UNC, therefore they are equally selective/prestigious? The reason Harvard is at the center of this is, any discrimination at the most selective institution will filter down because the overqualified rejects from the top tier will fill up the second tier, and the overqualified rejects from the second tier will start filling up the third tier, and so on...Also, as lawsuits go, if they get a decision against Harvard, you can be sure Yale and Princeton and Stanford will take a long hard look at their admission policies. Or more suits will be filed until there is a systemic change.

RIP. An engineering titan. And humanitarian colossus. In addition to his triumphs in computation, philanthropy and neuroscience. His deep sea exploration team discovered the final resting places of some of the worst disasters in naval history: USS Indianapolis, USS Lexington, and USS Juneau.

Wow, I didn't know Paul Allen played guitar! I wonder if this is a theme among Microsoft executives? Jim Allchin is also a very good blues guitarist.
Paul Allen did enough good for hundreds of lifetimes in one. Allen's skills helped create Microsoft/Windows and allowed him to attain wealth which he also used for good reasons, funding brain, medical research and history as well as fun and entertainment. Allen is the type of person you want people, and especially wealthy, to be, supporting good efforts and being a force for good in humanity.
I'm a huge chiptune fan, this is perfect for me for coding. Thanks! :D
Even if you pay them $10/mo (whether you trade or don't, and keeping in mind that most people shouldn't be trading most months!), they still charge you for "instant" orders (the kind they don't delay purposely) in the one market they actually execute orders in.

Rogers, Fido and Bell call centre workers penalized for reducing plans
Hey all! We launched App Academy on HN 6 years ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4505752), and since then a lot’s happened. We’ve graduated and placed thousands of folks as engineers and actually placed more people as software engineers at Google (30 vs 22) than UC Berkeley has since 2016! Today, we are fulfilling a dream that I’ve had for some time: to put the whole curriculum online, for free. We’ve built a learning platform around it and we’re really excited to give people a taste (or the whole thing!) of the curriculum to help you understand what we’re about.
There was an evolution in the language. Homer is harder to read than Plato and Plato is harder to read than the New Testament.

By the time the New Testament was written 50-100 AD the language was quite close to todays form, so you can easily understand it, although it would be harder to talk like this.

Lucian lived about 100 years after this, so the language was easy to read. Moreover his use of the language made it even more easy, because he despised those authors that were trying to appear "serious".
That sucks.

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma: the same class of cancer linked to RoundUp/glyphosate.
Well I guess “should your life be destroyed?“ wasn’t the question after all then.

I wish people would write clearly on this subject instead of using meaningless hyperbolic language. It’s an important subject.
Oh the fun is just getting started now.
And if you want a 99.99% confidence upper bound, it's (384-88+19)/384 == 82%. (the .01% is the probability of false negatives in the survey data). Again, pedantic, true, and useless, but cited for balance.
Look at the behavior of the current administration, and ask if you'd try to work with them to improve a relationship that the administration deliberately made deteriorate.

You can argue that there are many reasons that Canada has for maintaining that relationship, but the same thing applies to the US, and it threw that away. Basically: given the behavior of the US, what reasonable country would want to continue to have their economy be dependent on it?

Also, while Huwei may be producing compromised equipment, what reason does Canada have for trusting US provided equipment? Or any other country -- every country that manufactures any network, radio, satellite, or other technology has a spy agency. All of those spy agencies would happily take an opportunity to compromise each others equipment. The "correct" course of action is to design your secure systems to assume non -trustworthy network hardware.

Mostly don't buy cheap equipment from anyone, because it seems they always ship on day 1 with software that's 2 years old that somehow has like 3 years of vulnerabilities :D
This isn't just about the most widely publicised events (in which just as many and more as the ones you listed were spot on) but about something that impacts women at every level of society. Try talking to your female friends about it.

Can you provide a reference to both of those affecting _ABI_?

"VLAs as [...] function arguments" sounds like it would just be normal passing of arrays. It's not clear that VLAs have any effect here.

"VLAs as struct members [...]" is still not clearly an ABI issue: if they existed, the types would still be confined to the function they are declared in, and thus would not affect ABI.

>Every map in existence is but an inaccurate description of the observable universe.

That's the thing though: mathematics can be inspired by the world around us, but more often than not, it does not aim to describe it.

Mathematicians working, say, on exotic 4-manifolds, are not concerned in the least with how well these structure describe anything out there in the "real world" of yours. The short answer is: it doesn't. The longer answer is: 4-manifolds are the real world, or, rather a part of it that, perhaps, the only way you can observe and interact with that part of the real world is through mathematics.
I heard it somewhere, I can’t remember
Thank you for the recommendation - so far, it’s intriguing. What’d you think of it?
I think the lesson he’s teaching is that examination should be hollistic, not just focus on specific tests. Different tests are appropriate in different situations and they often give conflicting results.

I’m no vet but if you have to dig hard for signs of illness, the patient likely isn’t sick. Our bird had increased uric acid. Could be anything. It was a little high.

If he was actua sick we wouldn’t be guessing whether the number is high. It’s be 10x. Waaay out of bounds. A clear signal.

It’s like in product design. Your conversion rate inproved 0.05% after you ran an experiment for 2 days. Is that a signal or noise? Eh probably just noise. Observe longer.

The problem with comfortably saying the client is wrong is tht they’re the authority figure. They have years of data, you have 30 minutes with the patient.

And yes I have had vets casually chat with me for 2 hours when they did spot something suspicious in the bird’s behavior and wanted to observe longer to see if it’s a pattern.
There is something to be said for nuance in stage IV treatments as most surgeries near EOL worsen outcomes and suffering for profit, but this wasn't one of those cases.
> Assuming scores are randomly distributed, your hypothetical gives different results if you give asians -5 than if you give black and hispanic applicants +5.

If there are only asian, black and hispanic applicants, it gives exactly the same results. When there are also white applicants, that change is equivalent to adding a -5 modifier for white applicants equal to the original -5 modifier for asian applicants. In neither case is the result a system in which race can only help you -- there are a finite number of slots.

It seems obviously wrong that if you gave +20 to white applicants it would not be a disadvantage to black, hispanic or asian applicants just because they all have the same equally-disadvantaged modifiers.
1 billion for what?.

MIT is just burning money and is achieving nothing. For example, from the MIT site:

2015—Designing the bandage of the future. So, where is it?

2016—Making the first direct detection of gravitational waves reaching the Earth. It's funny because we are still clueless if the gravitation waves are true or not.

2017—Adapting a CRISPR protein that targets RNA, rather than DNA.. And yet, another research that is "for the future".

Are you suggesting founders are required to treat professional events as places of business as well as the sole venue for finding a potential partner/lover because they'll have no chance otherwise? That's silly.

Working long hours doesn't immediately excuse you from adhering to social contexts, especially when there are obvious power structures present which evidently is rampantly abusive across industries.

'Innappropriate incidents' is entirely subjective and can't be defined beyond a personal context. If one party believes the manner in which someone else operates in a context is inappropriate, that's enough of a definition, especially in the context of such a survey.
You're ignoring the fact that most highly paid positions come with a lot of bullshit. Depending on the position and company, that could be overwork, ridiculous politics, or the inability for your work to have any impact. I still make good money by my standards, but it's $65k less than my highest pay (cash, not RSUs). No regrets. I find your advice that somebody not maximizing their earnings "seek a therapist" a bit tone-deaf.
Also, for seasoned professionals you have to factor in malpractice and insurance coverage as contributing to the inertia.

This thing has to have a massively crappy battery life (in the real, real world)...

The only reason that smartphones "work" is because they have big screens, while big screens obviously consume a lot of power and therefore require big batteries, there's more space for the battery inside as the PCB doesn't need to be big like the screen.
