Counterpoint from Denmark that has the same movements of “wrap your kid in bubble wrap” and “it’s offensive to wear sombreros”, we don’t see an overuse of opioids or penecilum because the medical system isn’t for profit and you aren’t a customer, you are a patient. Show up saying you feel a flu coming on and would like some penicillin to curb it? The doctor will laugh at you and tell you to come back when you visibly sick, and even then she’ll tell you to just try sleeping it off. Only as a last resort do they actually prescribe harder drugs. Also, you need prescriptions even for larger packs of ibuprofen and paracetamol.

The issue in USA really seems to me to be drive in large by the fact that people are customes who want drugs and doctors are salespeople who want to sell drugs. With opioids it just so happens that the legal barrier got lowered enough that everyone who wanted it for all the wrong reasons could justify buying it anyway, and then they did.

> The boss will lend you tools for the first weeks until you get that first paycheck

This doesn't line up with the "google it and try it for a week" unless some sort of apprenticeship is the norm (which also assumes you have no current job).

Now, I happen to think what you describe sounds great, but it also sounds like starting the job rather than finding out if the job is for you.
I know it sounds a bit extreme.

Not extreme at all. Except for salespeople having business lunches, in the United States, drinking on company time is pretty much verboten outside of the tech bubble.
I think he was speaking from what he perceives as the perspective of civic decision-makers, e.g. "Cyclists are weird, we don't need to think about the efficacy of bike travel in our city." Otherwise his comment doesn't really make sense.

This whole thing reminds me of the Portlandia take on this issue. Everyone just hates the other group because they are serving their own interests. No, "general car drivers" are not weird and that contentious attitude is ridiculous. Not everything has to be a dichotomous issue.
No, but pure expressions of emotion without anything else don't add to the conversation, it just adds noise.
Unicast is sending messages to a single peer. Broadcast is sending messages to everybody. Multicast is in between, sending to some arbitrary set of recipients.

On a Local network, multicast is very easy to do. Unless it's very, very old your computer almost certainly uses multicast on local networks already, for a variety of purposes. A dumb old network just sent all packets to all computers on the local network, so both broadcast and multicast were equally easy to do, your network card has a filter built into it, that autonomously weeds out messages your computer cares about, and ignores the others - so the Operating system is like "Hey, network card, my unicast address is 10.20.30.40, and I am also listening to multicast address 224.0.0.251" and it will just throw away any packets that aren't for those addresses. A smart modern network (e.g. the mid-range gigabit switch serving your desk at work) keeps track of which addresses are where and sends copies of messages only to where they seem useful, leaving more network bandwidth for everybody else.

The Internet can in theory do Multicast too. I've used this to, for example, watch television with a dozen other people without any copy of the TV picture data being sent over the shared data link to us more than once. That's what those addresses are for, you "Join" one of the multicast addresses and begin receiving, say, the Olympics live.

However making all this work is hard, and in most places, most of the time, nobody puts in all that hard work, so probably you'll find that although local network multicast works for you (as I said it's used in modern systems) you cannot use the Internet's multicast features. Which is a shame, but we can't have nice things.
> Technology doesn’t solve humanity’s problems.

But it does. Vaccinations, for example, have solved humanity's smallpox problems. Technology has solved all kinds of medical problems, it has solved the famine problem, and on and on.
I don't think the conversation should be on how difficult it is to stop and start on a bike.

The real issue is that bikes aren't any safer treating stop signs as full stops. Visibility and maneuverability on a bike are so high that a complete stop is totally unnecessary for a bike approaching an empty intersection, so long as they at least yield to traffic.

Bikes are not cars, and should not be treated as such.
Europeans, Asians, etc don't see themselves as an influence on the place they live?
I wonder…

I can kind of understand, at least when space is at such a premium as it is in a MacBook Air, soldering everything onto a single logic board. But why not allow that logic board to be upgraded?

While it would be very un-Apple to offer upgrade kits to end users, I could very easily see the company offering upgrades as a Genius service (maybe also selling the parts to authorized service providers). You’d go to an Apple store, pay the upgrade price for a logic board with more storage or RAM (or a faster CPU), come back in an hour or two, and your MacBook would be waiting for you with the upgrade.

It could be a huge green PR coup for Apple, as well as a way to drive post-sale revenue.
> They belong in the bike lane (which should exist in the first place), and their speed should be capped in areas of dense foot traffic.

I live downtown Minneapolis and have been almost hit by scooters multiple times. They are everywhere. I have no problem with them, but please follow the rules. I've had people on the scooters yell at me to get out of the way both oncoming and from behind.
It's not bitter, it's literally like dashing something from the spice cupboard on your tongue.

Too bad the odds are 10000:1 that I get stuck doing Java/Go instead.
Likely a combination of that and a quick search of his email matches malware source code since they'll likely have curl.h in there.
I've been converting our eCommerce site to using it. It's OK. Way too complicated for the average developer, it's full of jargon that is not usually present in JS/web development. The use cases they have on their site do not reflect how it is actually used, I spent a lot of time wondering how to translate their examples of clicks and timers into my problems of API calls and route changes.

The more I think about how I use it, the more I realize I'm using it to clean up the leaky abstractions from our backend. If our backend was better, promises would meet my needs fully - get the data, stick it in the views. But no. I have to do all these bullshit transformations and call multiple APIs because apparently Java Spring apps are EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to develop...
What are your thoughts on Starting over completely from scratch as Geoffrey Hinton has suggested? What are you doing as a group to attract and bring on such individuals? Does this occupy any portion of your efforts at OpenAI?

If you were given a demo of an AI system that uses a completely new/revolutionary approach towards various different problems with success, how open would you be to rethinking your position on 'Optimization techniques'?

Modeling seems as a stop-gap towards getting over the limitations of Weak AI. As I recall, this is what knowledge-based expert systems tried in a time's past and failed at because it's nothing but a glorified masking of the underlying problem with limited human inputted rulesets. I don't agree with Yann LeCun that the way forward to AGI is modeling. I feel like it's the best solution people worked up towards the limitations of Weak AI which were broadly and publicly acknowledged in 2017 and early 2018.

> The main limitation right now: the ideas are very computationally expensive.

This is because the fundamental core set of algorithms being used by the industry are fundamentally flawed yet favorable to big data/cloud computing.. A quite lucractive business model for currently entrenched tech companies. It's why they spend so much effort ensuring the broad range of AI techniques fundamentally stay the way they are.. because if they do, it means boat loads of money for them.

> So we'll need engineers and researchers to help us to continue scaling our supercomputing clusters and build working systems to test our ideas.
When you're attempting to resolve something and you are shown YoY that it isn't being resolved and requires even more massive amounts of compute, it means you're doing something wrong. It will be better to take a step back an re-evaluate your approach fundamentally. Again, what is the willingness you have to do so if shown something far more novel?
From memory; pitot tubes froze over and airspeed became unreliable. Autopilot disengaged and they had a stall warning. One pilot went full nose down, the other wanted full nose up. The latter probably believed the flight envelope protections were still in place which would not let you stall even if you did full nose up. But they weren't because the flight computer switched to alternate law when airspeed was unreliable so they had full control of the airplane and (probably) didn't realize it. Additionally when presented with two different control stick inputs the flight computer just averaged them, and since there was no force feedback there is no tactile sense that you're arguing with the other pilot over what you should be doing. Also only one person is supposed to be in command.

My memory is also that the senior captain was in the third seat and didn't have a full grasp of the situation either.

I did read the air accident report quite a while ago so this might be wrong, but in summary, it's not exactly arguable that the aircraft did the wrong thing (it did as designed minus the freeze issue which is suboptimal but something that can happen) and the pilots didn't exactly do the wrong thing either since they may have little to no experience flying the plane in alternate law (certainly not at high altitude and speed), and it's not unreasonable to be fully aware that they had full control (as opposed to the flight computer mediating and not letting them do something stupid like stall it all the way down to the ocean).

Lastly, when in cruise it's not completely trivial to fly like a Cessna at 1,000ft. At cruise on a big heavy jet you can't go much higher as the air is too thin to fly. You can't go much faster without braking the sound barrier. You can't go much slower as you'll stall. I believe it's called "coffin corner", and while commercial passenger planes do it every day it's not quite as simple as you might think.
Mostly I see that as a feature not a bug. If you can't trust management for hiring why trust them for firing. You got like a couple of months "test period" that can end every month anyway.
Not a good fit for a corporate environment, unless you're already using IRC and need a web UI.

It's basically a personal IRC client and lacks most of the features you would expect from Slack (media upload, user management, editing/deleting messages, public channels...).

Take a look at Rocket Chat and Zulip instead.

The article is not clear about what the actual changes are; can't figure out if they are good or bad.
What I always needed!
“Equity is the goal.”

I don’t think this is a good goal. Unless you mean equity of opportunity. Equity of outcome is a ridiculously foolish goal in that outcomes will vary substantially and trying to have equity at the end on arbitrary human factors with easy to measure biases (gender, race, etc).

So the goal is not 45/45/10 for gender distribution for all roles. As that is obviously impossible as roles change and then people would need to be redistributed ad infinitum (eg, project managers have “perfect” gender diversity of 45/45/10 today but now the role is changes and split into product owner and product manager. Does this mean that the roles must include the same gender mix?)
"Scoot" is where it's at anyway.
This is somewhat being compounded/driven by the pilot shortage/crunch in the aviation industry. Typical costs for becoming a pilot are high and the immediate returns are low. Sure if you become a senior Captain with a major airline like United you can make good money, but before you get there you start by flying for a regional making as low as $20k a year:

https://www.economist.com/gulliver/2016/03/09/america-is-run...

And if you are facing student loans that is a wringer.

So now that airlines are expanding, the majors are having trouble finding experienced or qualified pilots since many people forgo pursuing it as a career.

For high growth markets, like Asia, they have resorted to lowering license requirements with things like the Multi-crew Pilot License (MPL) which is all sorts of alarming (remember when that Asiana flight crashed on landing in SFO?).

I would caution you on taking such an absolute, "zero sum" stance here.

>It doesn't matter what color people are.

I hope you realize the absurdity of this statement in isolation...
Imagine having to effectively park you car every single time a stop was legally required.

Cars do come to a complete stop every time they reach a stop sign or red light. Those that don't tend to get very expensive tickets. Pedestrians also stop at intersections, usually, and those that don't tend to get tickets.

It's just cyclists who seem to think that they're above the law. Guess what? They chose an inefficient form of locomotion, then they get to live with the consequences of that--including stopping at intersections like the rest of us.
What happens leading up to and in a stall is very heavily dependent on the plane. A Cessna 152/172 and Diamond DA-20/40 have very different stall characteristics despite being similar size. My 310R and my old Mooney are very different and I do not think I ever fully stalled the former. I know for sure I never fully stalled any straight-wing jet I fly and have no direct experience with swept wing jets (like the one in question here).

So, stall characteristics just don’t generalize well in my experience.

Ummm... no, it's not.

Having had dozens of jobs in five industries over the decades, I've never worked for one where drinking on company time isn't a fireable offense.

The only exceptions were at the company Christmas parties, and overnight DJ's who were tolerated doing lines of coke off of CD cases. But that's another problem altogether.

Discussion of the original article on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15788807
Pretty common - recruiting firms often have application tracking systems and databases of resumes, profiles, that essentially have been scraped from all jobs sites accessible across the web.

Rarely will anything get deleted, so they might have multiple versions of your linkedin profile because maybe it was scraped multiple times as you changed it, or often even your resume if you posted it publicly anywhere that they scraped.
A /24 is probably in the ~$4k range. No idea what a netblock with a cool/vanity IP might cost. Pretty sure all the single digit ones are impossible to buy, but there could be others that would be a premium above regular pricing.
But if you're isolating styles inside react components, you're back to being able to use inline-styles. You can just functions and variables if you need standardization. Something like Tailwinds adds a level of indirection not a level of abstraction.

Good luck to you, it's a dangerous game you're playing. It just takes one idiot in a car who doesn't notice you because they're checking their instagram feed, or whatever, for your life to be over.

I knew someone growing up who was a very successful banker. He had everything - 3 kids, a beautiful wife, amazing house, etc. Cycled to work every day.

One day, someone didn't see him.

Doctors managed to save his life but he was unable to use any muscle from his neck down. Had to be on a respirator for the rest of his life. Couldn't talk. Etc.

He killed himself by driving his motorized wheelchair into a pool. He left behind a beautiful family and wife.

Good luck, be safe. For the record, I fully support bicyclists and wish our cities were designed better to promote their safe use. Unfortunately, they aren't right now, and I hate to see people needlessly punished for choosing to cycle to work.

We don’t make money by prescribing drugs. Those of us on risk sharing contracts - most of us, directly or indirectly, to a greater or lesser extent - lose money by prescribing drugs.

Your comment has little factual basis.
These are much safer than small-wheeled scooters as their larger wheels allows them to more gracefully handle bumps in the road.

Also, unlike most ebikes I can actually sit stationary on these without falling over. I'm very short and most ebikes are not designed for short people.
Ask HN: Build in-house engineering team or keep it remote?
Hey all,

Interested in your perspective on this. We currently have a ten person overseas engineering team: SCRUM master, technical architect, QA engineer, FE engineer, and backend engineers.

I'm facing an organizational decision about whether or not to start building an in-house team. I'm looking for guidance on the following aspects of the problem

1. Division of labor between in-house and remote: If we do go in this direction, how would you recommend apportioning the work? Would you recommend a separate SCRUM master for an in person team? What if that team was only a couple of people?

2. Incremental or All at Once: One option would be to do this incrementally, and hire a couple of people in-house. Another would be to wait until we have a budget available to fully transition the development of our product to an in-house team. This would likely take some time (a year or more?), as hiring in-house for the talent needed would likely cost 3x our current budget.

3. Floor Engineering Size: From a morale perspective, I'm wondering if it would be valuable to start with a minimum amount of technical talent. E.g., one engineer and one designer.

4. Starting Talent: Curious if you all have thoughts about starting w/ a lead engineer/tech arch type vs someone who's more of a solid contributor. I recognize this decision is heavily influenced by what they're working on.

Current thoughts on how to move forward:
1. Hire a smallish team internally: 1 FE eng, 1 BE eng, maybe 1 designer
2. Focus in-house team on new feature development
3. Focus remote team on QA and product optimization
4. Pay for in-house team through additional budget I'm getting in 2019 and by cutting into the remote team's budget a bit

Would love yall's reaction and advice.
> Phones want 6 GB

Why? Why not 8? Whatever, I doubt I've ever seen a phone with more than 2 GB RAM. I wish my phone was as powerful as my PC (which is very old, has 4 GB RAM and can't handle more because of the chipset limitations) so I could just attach peripherals I want, boot a desktop Linux (directly or in a VM) and use it instead of the PC.

On a 737, trim adjusts the pitch of the entire horizontal stabilizer. As such, in the extreme, it actually has more control over pitch than the elevator (which is controlled by the pilot's yoke). If the trim runs out to the limit, and the pilot doesn't correct it, the elevator does not have enough authority to override the trim.

Google: auto vehicle deaths per DAY
I think there's a difference between trying to explain something and trying to excuse it. So yep, no where in what I wrote was I excusing them. Even though they could just eat another banana, people generally aren't so rational like that. Still, laziness (yes, even while cycling) is a common enough occurrence to be an explanation for otherwise irrational phenomena.
If you're used to noticing the dots-and-dashes from flicking your eyes past a 60hz (non-incandescent, say LED) light (each about 17ns apart), - something that happens to most of us many times per day - 40 vs 60 is a pretty obvious difference, and 17ns an obvious measure for comparison.
In Dallas (and elsewhere I imagine) we're supposed to use them on the street, and most people have been learning this. First time I rode one on the sidewalk I barely got down one block before people in cars were telling me to get off the sidewalk. Once on the street I had no trouble sharing the road with other cars, though this was downtown where the speed limit is lower. The scooters seem to have been a little more warmly accepted than the bikes, where parked bikes which take up more space were clogging up sidewalks.

This summer when I was in San Diego for a half marathon I was standing on the sidewalk waiting when out of nowhere a scooter rider was crossing the street, hit the sidewalk curb, which was higher than they expected, and endo'ed right next to me. It was almost like the latest South Park episode. The scooters can be tricky to ride for new people, are fast, and really should only be used while wearing a helmet.
