It always seems to be someone else's problem when it comes to wealth adhering to the codified norms of a society.

>it doesn't erase the fact that people have gone from 0 to B by creating companies from nothing and making a large impact of society

How does the adage go? "Behind every great fortune lies a great crime."
That seems to be a minor side-effect at best. This is generally more predatory, and closer to the windows 10 model i.e., a paid operating system that is user-hostile, and users generally don't have a way to opt out of the cost since OEMs won't really sell a machine without an OS or with linux. The $40 is still going to be passed on to the end-user here while nothing really changes.

Thanks for the down vote!
The L2 cache dropped from 17-clocks to 12-clocks of latency. Its not a big improvement, but there's just better power-management, better caches, better memory compatibility (!!!), etc. etc. But enough that you get a real boost in practical benchmarks (FPS in games or Handbrake rendering).

The compatibility problem was probably most annoying. The 1700 didn't work with a lot of RAM when it launched, requiring BIOS settings to change. You'll still see AMD builders praising the "Samsung B-Die" (the most compatible RAM with AMD Ryzen).

The 2700x just works overall better. I'd personally consider it due to all of the little changes and little improvements.

No, the burning of the paper removed a great of mass from the paper turning to to a brittle paper ash. After the fire was out is when the timer started, since the paper ash was so much lighter but the same volume its buoyancy in air was drastically increased causing it to "float."

The up draft from the flame wasn't utilized to power the flight, the fire was only used transform the original rolling paper into a "plane" by mass reduction through combustion.
Yes - the universe is still described by a single, pure wavefunction. I think this kind of confusion is inevitable when people talk about different "universes" or "worlds" being created, when nothing of the sort is occurring in the theory.
Not only that, but also when thinking about the process of discovering an issue this big, I doubt a single engineer or team would have identified it on their own. Designing servers is a big undertaking and this part would only be identified as malicious in a couple of ways.

If some engineer finds a part on the board that is not in the BOM, I doubt their first thought would be to report it to the FBI. There would likely be some long email thread bouncing around multiple teams trying to determine if some design change was missed.
That's simply false. Bank of America's public servers with TLS certificates are logged (which, by the way, is also an operational security problem for them), but their other services are not.

You've picked an odd point to quibble with, since there's not only NSEC and NSEC3 but now, after the last RWC, a proposed NSEC5 to address this supposed non-problem.

Or at least, having one big company serving 100 people can be more efficient than 10 smaller companies delivering 10 people each a similar service.
Yes, they are efficient and well run but they also can suppress threatening innovation. At some point big companies can buy out any potential competition. You can see that in tech where a lot of startups don't even try to run a profitable business but plan on getting bought out. Same in medical tech where startups just do basic research that's sold to the big guys.
My network is definitely lacking; I suppose that's part of what I'm wondering, is where to start to meet more people; honestly most people I meet aren't exactly looking to get involved in building a new company while also being skilled.

So the effects of the program are:

1. Lower Tokyo's income tax by 20%

2. Transfer 25% of Tokyo's (reduced) income tax out to rural areas chosen for sentimental reasons.

3. Incur overhead costs of 3% of the value transferred. This seems comparable to what you'd pay to directly transfer through Square.

It strikes me as a little excessive to look at this list of effects and condemn the system as "perverse".

The quickest way to get comfortable is to ask questions.

Actually, IMO, that's the only way to get comfortable since technically you don't know the ropes yet. Literally the only way.

The difference between a Jr Engineer and every other category is that Jr's don't yet know how to ask questions because they don't yet know what they don't know, but Jr's that learn how to ask quickly advance.

Asking questions gets one through anxiety humps, and also helps you get to know your teammates better (without worrying about all of the other interpersonal baggage that comes with being introverted).

Lastly, for every group there's a person who enjoys answering questions -- find that person!

Glad to see this as well. I'm about to hire some C++ developers for embedded work and have never been a fan of this type of interviewing, if only because I know I personally don't excel at this style and consider myself extremely competent. I'm hoping to find ways of assessing incoming candidates along the lines you've briefly touched on in this thread!
> It really depends on how you conceptualize it: there isn't much of an issue if you think of the Senate as a body that represents states as sovereign political entities not population.

That doesn't remove the problen, it just clarifies that it is a fundamental design problem and not a problem with an implementation details.

> If the Senate is to be reorganized to be proportional to population

That's a bad solution.

A better solution is just to transfer it's quasi-executive powers to the House, and it's quasi-judicial powers either to the House or the Supreme Court (if the House, then some consideration may need to be done of how charging works for impeachment, but that's not an insurmountable problem), and perhaps reduce it's legislative powers as has been done with the similarly problematic British House of Lords.

Or (and this can be combined with the above) rearrange it so that both seats from a state are in the same class (elected simultaneously), and instead of FPTP mandate a two-seat, preference ballot, proportional method like STV for Senate elections.

Besides, you can't restructure the Senate to make it proportional to population (at least without unanimity among the states), as that is literally the one thing that an Amendment cannot do. (There used to be another, but that was time-limited.)

> The current comprise means neither small nor large states can ram through legislation that neglects the other's interests.

Small states are slightly overrepresented in the House, radically overrepresented in the Senate and in judging electoral votes, and overrepresented at a level between those two in the Electoral College.

There's no real compromise or two-sided balance there.
So, multi-hop E-skip is a way that the signal can propagate through the ionosphere. (E-layer skip: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sporadic_E_propagation). 2200m and 7cm are wavelengths. FT8 is a digital mode that can transmit a very restrictied amount of information -- basically your callsign and where you are. Exchanging this information is enough for a contact, or QSO. The debate is about whether it's still about communication when you can't really talk to people using FT8.

Edit: And contacts are basically how hams keep score. You used to send postcards to the people you'd talked to. Old hams have binders full of them.

Just like self-help books and CEO advice, taking career advice from engineers, even great ones, is a waste of time. It is useful to read for entertainment value, and to be well-read in general (like understanding history very well in order to understand modern politics), but taking direct advice would be foolish.

Perhaps that isn't the intent of your question but just wanted to state that, at least as a warning to others, as it is the implication.

The author identifies the key appeal of concentrated solar thermal generation vs. photovoltaics, but remains a bit too optimistic about how competitive this race still is:

While a big boost in efficiency is great, concentrated solar is far enough behind photovoltaics on price that it's not going to make a big enough difference in a direct competition. But the real competition here isn't directly with photovoltaics; instead there are two separate competitions. One is against photovoltaics plus batteries, since only that provides the possibility of around-the-clock energy access. Here, the costs are changing fast enough that it's difficult to figure out where things stand.

I would say that it is not particularly difficult to figure out where things stand; absent a surprising catch-up from solar thermal power, photovoltaics-plus-batteries is going to win. For one thing, CSP only works where there is very high direct normal irradiance. Partially cloudy conditions cause its performance to drop much faster than the actual intensity of illumination drops. PV works fine with direct and indirect illumination. For that reason CSP performance declines in wintertime in temperate regions worse than PV does. You can see the effect by looking at performance-by-month for American solar PV and solar thermal here:

https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.ph...

In June 2017, solar thermal plants had a capacity factor of 37.9% while PV plants reached 35.7%. But in December 2017, thermal plants reached only a 9% capacity factor while PV plants reached 17.4%.

This new material might be one way for thermal to compete better with PV. But to do so it will need to enter commercial use soon. Commercial battery storage projects are ramping up around the world. For stationary battery storage applications, technical breakthroughs for higher energy density aren't necessary; "last year's chemistry, but manufactured bigger and cheaper" is just fine. Further, the whole-project cost of PV + batteries declines when either batteries or PV decline in price.

Even if solar thermal power doesn't pan out, this material might be useful in future energy systems. I have been reading for many years about how Generation IV nuclear reactors could run at high temperatures with supercritical CO2 turbines for compact, more efficient heat-to-electricity production. It's nice to have some of the supporting technology developed ahead of time. Even if such reactors never become competitive for terrestrial use, there is also the rest of the solar system to consider.
Yeah, but the fourth is an old item. The second is the newest.

I wonder if I'm looking at it the wrong way, and all the "fluff" has been sucked out of the fourth one by the dryer, which probably weakens it.
Yes, I meant "linear least squares" which is "(X.T X)^{-1} X.T y".

> Also, sometimes it just a lot faster to use SGD or other algorithms.

Right, that's what I thought. Is this because essentially optimization will be bounded by the number of of epochs but linear least squares will be bounded by matrix operations (so scale with N). Which means, if you can solve the problem in small number of epochs (say, 200) and N is very large then SGD will be faster. Is this correct?

EDIT: Obviously, I don't think all regression problems can be solved this way but in this blog post their loss function can be solved by linear least squares. If you solve the optimization problem analytically, you'll get "(X.T X)^{-1} X.T y".
So? Of course you should be able to pay experts to represent you in these hearings, or hire them for unrelated purposes. The issue is whether such payments are appropriately disclosed.

This is how the brain works. At first, even understanding social norms, the lingo, codebase is hard. People are talking but you're probably only absorbing like 30% of whats said. You read a codebase, and think you 'understand' but really again, only probably 30% is retained.

The brain, memory, and the 'automatic' unconscious mind lag behind and take a lot of stimulus to rewire;you need to give them the inputs they need, and the time to catch up. Once they do, it will be night and day, and you'll start flowing.

The main thing you need to do is to keep bombarding your brain with new information and critical thoughts. Even if you don't have questions, force out some stupid ones to get the questions flowing.

Doing this now, versus after a year, is critical.

So the question really is, what behaviors do you need to start that will allow you to give your brain those critical stimuli?

- Generating questions - actively email or seek answers from colleagues

- Ask to do some pair programming and work through stuff with people, were you assigned a mentor or manager? <- if you can find someone, one-on-one learning is the MOST efficient way of knowledge transfer when beginning a project

- Make sure you act VERY POSITIVE, VERY ENGAGED, AND VERY EXCITED, these will make people want to help you.

Good luck.
I see what looks like $26k vs. $38%, so that's more like a ratio of 2:3, isn't it? That said, it puts an upper bound on how large the discrepancies could be.
If you have the skills to get hired you should be fine. That said, if you do end up pursuing more education then you'd probably be better off getting a MS. The programs are shorter, there are many that will work with a 9-5 schedule, and ultimately it will probably be more desirable to employers.
Exactly this.

Too many people get funneled into this trap by the ARRL who understandably push "get on the air today!" type articles which haven't been updated since the 80's and have people getting HF radios and hunting for repeaters on the 2M band. And the grumpy old guys who are pissed off it isn't the 80's (or 70's or 50's, few seem to be nostalgic for the 60's) anymore.

In the digital radio space its a lot more open, and just being able to work with radio has become pretty easy these days. I've got a bunch of SDRs now, and I agree the ADALM-PLUTO ($100) is the most cost effective way to get a nice xmit and receive SDR. The RSP2 from SDRPlay is another one that is good for the low bands through 2G (its like $200) then the next step up is the HackRF-1 ($300) or LimeSDR ($300) or LimeSDR Mini ($170). Above that you start getting into the Ettus/National USRP radios ($3000 and up).

Small WHSPR (whisper) radios like the article mentions are inexpensive to build and fun to play with as well, not a lot of chatting but tagging beacons and getting tagged. Or putting lightweight radios in a balloon and flying it around the world (https://www.mchsarc.com/?page_id=13)

Ask HN: How to negotiate compensation as third employee/CTO?
I've been talking with an early stage business about coming on board as their third member and only technical member on the team. They recently raised about $1m from angels, have some revenue and a decent MVP. I've worked for several startups in the past but never at this early of a stage where equity is most of the compensation. I'm curious if the HN community has any tips for negotiating compensation.

I think because, at the federal level, taxes don't dictate how much one part of the pie gets vs the other. Budgets determine that. The federal government doesn't use taxes to pay for different parts of that pie. Taxes are a way to control inflation and influence behavior, that's it.

Yes, manufacture the high security chips on one of the many 7nm fabs in the US.

I suppose it also follows that the fab and design should be staffed only as NOFORN? That rules out the lead on the Apple silicon team.

Don't be disingenuous, there's a difference between moving to USB-C and removing the damn esc key. In any case, I don't want to get caught up in details. I was just expressing my pity towards people like the author of the linked article; do you really think Apple is ever going to listen?
Ask HN: For who is Stripe Atlas?
I'm based in the EU. In my country, the government considers the organization's place of doing business (and thus the place where to pay tax) to be where the director actually does business and where his social/family life is.

So I could open a company anywhere in the world but if I still work here and my family/social life is here my company is still considered to be here.

My question is why would Stripe Atlas be useful for me?
Thats exactly the same as a world with smalltalk

Bullshit questions that you ask in hopes of stumbling into something interesting to talk about (ie how well do you know the host) is the essence of smalltalk.

We just continue starting with the useless questions even if we already have an actual topic to work with ;)
