Sure, I think it is happening in practice.

With respect, I think you might be succumbing to a weak form of selection bias (perhaps theres a better bias at play). In my thinking, people who don't work at megacorps have issues with bringing technocratic dystopia into reality (either due to horrific cultural issues at these companies, or by turning humans into labor-machines, either internally, or via externally-developed markets) aren't taken seriously as "opposing voices" in the narrative. No one is debating the fact that you get cheap goods using these practices, but it certainly seems to have a negative effect on overall empathy/humanity, in my perhaps naive opinion.

To bring the point home, if you aren't at Google, Facebook, Amazon, or any of the other gigantic tech companies, you aren't considered part of the "talent pool" unless you have some kind of in, or just deal with the interview process and get one of the roles. I've noticed that because I haven't worked at a "real tech company" individuals at one of the larger Internet companies seem to discount what I have to say, with perhaps what you'd call 'pure tech'-adjacent software development experience at a large investment bank.

I think a huge number of talented people are choosing not to work at one of these firms, Uber as one example, specifically because of moral issues with one of the above issues mentioned.

> You're arguing semantics in a non-cooperative way.

Huh, I think that's the first time I've been accused of being non-cooperative for saying what is essentially "I think perhaps how you're interpreting that statement is not how it was meant and you're talking past each other."

All I was saying is that it appears that zzzeek interpreted the original statement as "do X and Y can't happen" when I think ambiguous wording was used and that wasn't the intent, as I didn't interpret it that way.

I'm arguing semantics because I think there is a misunderstanding of people's positions because of those semantics. I understand that it got a little long into the weeds, but there was a point.
Why would USB boot be less brittle? Seems like if you have a dirty shutdown, the same problems should crop up.
Thanks for your feedback!

The plan is to implement additional stacks you can deploy with Modelier. Node/Mongo is our first one, but we're aiming to support PHP, Go, C#/.NET, Python/Django and more, along with support for SQL and other database solutions. Ideally, you'll be able to select which target stack you'd like to use for deployment based on your project needs. External API integrations are part of our future plans, and stack support will be a big piece of that.
How much was that machine? Do you need the sleep study in the first place? How much do you spend on wants like Netflix?

The market can solve many of these. I've looked at CPAP machines. I've spent more on a guitar. You don't need your insurer or the government to clear your purchase of such a machine.

It's like ordering pet meds in the US. I know what flea med to purchase. I don't need a vet prescription. Sites I've visited in the US say I do, so I buy from Canada. Cat's are not dead.
You should make a more thorough comparison with other "100% open source" forges. Your main arguments against GitHub and the like are the license, tracking, and ads. Instead, you make no good arguments for why this tool is so "special" compared to other equivalently free tools. I'm not trying to be a jerk here, but the post looked like a hard sell to me.
They are basically not allowed to have a real army, still just like Japan, "only defence armies".

I'm not talking about offense acts or actions. I'm talking about being allowed to do miletary R&D and actually being allowed to have a real army out there. They don't.

So how far off is it to assume they're assertive with AI to make up for it?
Congratulations from an early tester. I'm happy you're making such a good progress on this.

Also happy to see more aliens here appreciating brutalist aesthetics :-)
This is fake news and just another one of the many press hate-pieces on Facebook, either because they're generally angry that Trump won and need someone to blame or because Facebook has a major part to play in the continued destruction of their industry. There's no indication (even in the original NYT article) that Zuckerberg being annoyed with Cook and him telling his leadership staff to use Android phones are remotely connected.

In fact, the justification for the request (as noted in the NYT article) had nothing to do with Tim Cook's comments, but was rather because "the operating system [has] far more users than Apple". Which, taken separately, is an entirely reasonable request. Why wouldn't you want to have your leadership team experience your product the same way most of your customers do.
> why George Soros and not other liberal jewish billionaire

Haha, the Rothchild family would like a word about 'not being targeted'. The term "international bankers" is of course, famously, anti-semitic loon code for "jewish illuminanti".

If you think Soros is only singled out for his political views, the Soros-obsessed nut who just shot up a synagogue might also have a word with you.
There's certainly a bubble here; trivially obvious, but there are also very good technical arguments in that article. FWIIW Dyakonov has been saying the same thing since the bubble got started in 2000 or so.
A Smarter Way to Think About Intelligent Machines
I recall a WaPo article about this last year*

Anecdotally, I know some developers who express disinterest in working for a company like Uber or Facebook. But it would be really difficult to gauge how many or the overall effect - except that over years, maybe, you would see their product suffer as they fail to attract and retain decent talent.

DT bought VoiceStream in 2001 and renamed it into TMobile. For 11 years TMO was a pissant company even with all that DT "knowledge" and money. Even Sprint and Nextel laughted at it.

It took Legere becoming a CEO 11 years later for anyone to start taking TMO seriously. And boy they do.
In my experience, sleep apnea treatment in the US is a racket. The sleep center tried to maximize the number of office visits they could bill before prescribing treatment and the insurance tried to delay approvals and minimize the cost and quality of equipment they would provide. Meanwhile, patient suffers. After 5 months of repeated visits, when another 6 weeks was tacked on, I went out on my own and got the best machine.
Never forget! I still do not have my "View as Public" option.
Reminds me of a time when Steve Balmer got upset over iPhone use at Microsoft.

SpaceX recently updated their plans to put most satellites between 300 and 400km. That ensures a quick deorbit of the satellites and debris and cuts down the ping times.
Oh I definitely agree. I'm not at all proposing that components make frameworks obsolete. It's just that I would like a future where the Web Component standard becomes the first answer to the frontend development question before moving on to more specialized solutions. Existing frameworks and Web Components would go hand in hand.

Messing with your own PAP settings can be a bad idea. I have complex apnea - a little bit of obstructive apnea (small pie hole), a little bit of central apnea (brain messages to breathe don't get through). I had an Auto BiPAP machine, which is like an intelligent ventilator that varies settings to determine the best one. A sleep study plus home monitoring indicated that the machine made my apnea worse!

After another sleep study where they tried many different settings, it was found that static CPAP, the simplest form of PAP therapy, was most effective in addressing my apnea. This was highly unexpected.

My point is that only a sleep technician or a sleep medicine doctor could have figured the right settings out. Beware of fucking with your own settings! I did it multiple times and it hurt my sleep instead of improving it. Pulse oximetry is not good enough to tune your own settings.
I watched it. I didn't hear anything about open borders in there. He talked a lot about accepting refugees, which has been a standard part of international law for decades now, but that is very much not the same thing.

The part about how Europe colonized many places was just a description of how Europe itself was fairly insulated from the rest of the world for a long time, which can make it hard to suddenly start accepting a lot of people from elsewhere because it's a big change. There was nothing at all about this meaning Europe should open its borders.
You don't need surgery to move the jaw forward in order to treat obstructive sleep apnea.

Some dentists (like mine) offer a removable orthotic [0] that you wear during sleep which accomplishes the required jaw movement and improves sleep quality. It's an alternative to treatment with CPAP that doesn't require anything invasive like surgery.

I haven't undergone this particular treatment myself, but I know from wearing other styles of precisely designed orthotics (both removable and semi-permanent) that they can improve the quality of your breathing, and thus improve the quality of your sleep.

This is one of the standard complaints (the gist of it being that quantum computing is some form of analog computing, i.e. requiring near-infinite precision). For researchers in the field it becomes rather frustrating to have to repeat the same response without being heard, so I can understand the annoyance expressed in the parent comment. For what is worth, here is a good explanation of how this complaint misrepresents the whole premise of quantum computation (in particular, point 6): https://www.scottaaronson.com/democritus/lec14.html
I think you´re right. I certainly wouldn´t work for any of those companies, and have repeatedly turned down interview requests. Would not have had Google on that list up until a year ago, but am starting to feel glad I escaped there.
I could see debt-laden recent grads compromising their ethics to work at FB.

I don't see myself (not debt-laden, have a great job) compromising mine just to work for them.

What's the long term effect of that trend? Will FB be chock full of juniors with an ever depleting number of seniors?
Thank you, I was thinking about their initial application. Yes, de-orbit times from 550 km are on the order of years to possibly tens of years. The requirement from the FCC is to deorbit your satellite within 25 years after the end of mission.

Edit: Their most recent application only moved the Phase 1 satellites in to the lower orbit. In later phases they are still planning on having more than 1000 satellites at the higher orbital altitude.
The exact same thing happened to me. Went to a top-ranked school; did internships in finance every summer, despite loathing every one of them; and once full-time came began spiralling down.

I think the main issue that propels high-achievers into these careers is simply peer pressure. I was never happy in finance, my stomach churned as each summer internship approached, but I did it all because I couldn't imagine what people would think of me if I didn't get the next big internship or full-time offer. Did he get cut? Did he fail the interviews? Is he not smart? The pang of euphoria from getting the offer had to overcome the everyday loathing of the work and, of course, it never did.

Even if you don't believe most work in finance to be difficult, enjoyable, or even that lucrative you cling to the prestige attached to the name of your employer like in no other industry. When you ultimately work up the hutzpah to leave and see your friends moving on gaining new titles, different employers, etc. you still feel pangs of their relative prestige increasing despite all your internal protestations that you don't care anymore. It's insidious and comically absurd to try to explain to people (as I'm sure you've noticed). These vaunted colleges really do a number on many of their students.

Would be happy to hear more specifics of your story.
I think it's more like if you ask your neighborhood mechanic to inspect the brake system, and he said "I inspected everything I could, but the master cylinder is leaking and sealed and only the dealer has the tools and knowledge to open it up" so you have to go to the dealer.

What the author glosses over somewhat is the method of sampling. If you read the first 20 pages, find no typos, and use this rule to arrive at 15%, that could be way off. He's assuming the risk of typos are evenly distributed when there's a lot of reasons it may not be. For example, the first half of the book could've been more heavily proof-read than the latter half. It's not out of the question that editors get lazier the farther they get into the book.

If you were to randomly read 20 pages in a book and find no typos, 15% probability makes more sense.

It's understandable to not mention this in a short blog post about the rule of three, but never forget that when you're interpreting statistics...how you build your sample matters.
I switched my machine from constant pressure to automatic, it's made a significant difference and my AHI numbers have remained the same. So far, I haven't had to alter the pressure manually.
Same here. It’s not just the lack of offline support but the absence of an on-premises offering that kills this product for me. The great thing about Excel and Access is that there are no barriers to using them in a typical enterprise environment – no need to pay for a subscription or ask the security team to approve the use of a new cloud provider to store private data. You can just start building something and share it on your internal network, or even email.
Emphasis: "capable". Mapping one concept into another and between abstraction levels is something displayed by all the strongest leaders I've met.
Sounds like the only solution would be to enable speculative execution on a per-process basis. Something like Visual Studio and it's child processes, core Windows processes and the kernel may fully use branch prediction. "Trusted processes" so to speak. The Web browser, not so much, so no branch prediction, no side channel.

Perhaps new cpu instructions?

I chose those tenses to put the characters into the context of their time.

Rockefeller oil, Carnegie steel, and Ford cars paved the way for the Industrial Revolution in America. They were building things in America, for Americans. Breaking worker unions and criticizing international elites were not considered anti-American activities in their time, despite our modern proclivities. They were viewed as titans who built up American might. The smear of "robber baron" didn't come until later when Matthew Josephson popularized the term.

In contrast, Facebook, Amazon, and Twitter are not building up American industry and making it stronger; they're mostly parasitic and toxic. Facebook has latched on to the desire of people to stay connected and become a tool to manipulate public opinion and serve advertisements. Amazon is essentially a giant middleman, which has helped demolish local mom and pops, by leveraging structural advantages granted by the state to operate at scale. Twitter has degraded public discourse to trolling and taken on the role of thought police. I could go on.

Of course the Silicon Valley elites are out of touch. Their business models take advantage of the little guy, which is why they must show contempt towards the little guy. They are elites without any class.

The industrialists were much more aligned with American interests. They were elites, but also had class.

Maybe all the recent news about facebook using misdirection is in and of itself misdirection to emotionally distract you from their technical failings.
This is part of a larger spectrum of developer preferences: openers, sustainers and closers.

Openers want to create new things, they love a blank canvas. Where some people are scared of this, they thrive in a place where you can lay down rules, define parameters, and create structures that are a good fit for the problem domain.

Sustainers like to work within a project that's evolving, but largely defined, where they can get a lot of things done and move the ball forward. They may create more work along the way, go on excursions, but the overall direction is roughly towards the goal. They have to make many compromises along the way.

Closers like finishing things, closing out bugs, wrapping up features, taking care of a myriad of loose ends and "TODO" type tasks. They're interested in completing work, not creating more work. This is where you have to make harsh judgement calls, implement ugly hacks, anything to wrap things up.

It's rare you'll find someone who excels at or even likes to do all three. We often have our bias.
I work in NYC. The most efficient form of transportation is the subway, and phone signals are not great down there. If you take a train out of the city, there are huge dead zones. There is at least an hour of my day that I am trying to be productive that I do not have good internet connections.
And I don’t blame them.

Developers are largely undercompensated for the utility they provide for firms, both across companies and within (compared to other roles).

In the Bay, it’s the difference between living comfortably+saving for their future and just making ends meet.

It’s a bit like blaming the scientists of the Manhattan Project for dropping the atomic bomb.
I actually think anti-racism is one of the great positives of letting algorithms decide. Because, well, people are racist, often, and

1) algorithms, by themselves, are not

2) if they are, that's written down somewhere (and can therefore be conclusively proven and legal recourse can be sought)

None of this works with humans.
The full report (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/67/wr/mm6745a1.htm?s_cid=mm...) says they're using the Standard Occupational Classification system (https://www.bls.gov/soc/). You can read the full definitions at https://www.bls.gov/soc/2010/2010_major_groups.htm; farm managers are at 11-9013, agricultural workers are under 45-2000. The distinction in this case seems to be whether or not someone working on a farm is mostly a manager or mostly a laborer.
Interesting. That does make me feel a bit more secure about the whole thing, but it does raise the question of how much they will need to invest in orbital upkeep/replacement of decayed spacecraft. I can see this getting expensive quick.

I remember playing with LOGO (MicroWorlds, specifically) in 2nd or 3rd grade, and I was given code that would draw a n-sided polygon. I got the idea to draw polygons with weird numbers of sides (like a 0-sized polygon, or a polygon with a non-integer number of sides) and at one point I got a circle made with a dashed line (I'm pretty sure this was the 0-sided polygon).

It was (and still is) super confusing since it had no pen up commands at all, so everything should have been connected. I guess it couldn't handle the weird angles and distances it was being asked to draw.
Over long distances, their latency is going to be significant better, as light speed in fiber is over 30% less than through vacuum.

Ah Ada. Reminded me of my high school years playing with Turbo pascal before moving to c/c++. First concurrent language I ever worked with. Thought that feature was brilliant, so much nicer than pthreads. I took a small threaded c project of mine and replaced the pthreading with Ada and linked the c logic to it using gnat/gcc. Then along came Go, et al, and my interest in Ada unfortunately faded.

Now you got me thinking about Ada again.
Without knowing Oracle's approach, this sort of problem is no different from any other software, even tho it reaches a larger scale.

Branch from master, and rerun tests before the final merge, like you should in any other software?
(Many processes fail that criterion, see https://bors.tech/ for something that gets this right).

Ideally you work on a different enough bug that there's limited interaction, and ideally that's figured out before you fix it, but those criteria are indeed harder to satisfy in a bigger software.

They are Unicorns but you know them when you see them. Cranking out code at high velocity that looks and feels right. When they don't know how to do something they actually research and look at the field. If no prior art exists at all (they frequently find themselves in this situation) they're already on their third iteration before anyone else has a prototype - even they can't get it perfect the very first time.

E.g. If they previously wrote compilers and you tasked them with graphics you'd see a book explaining affine transforms on their desk. Or parsing theory for the reverse transition.

A key part however is the ability to switch between fields. I've seen people I thought were 10x completely fail when tasked with something new.

This sounds quite much like general-purpose programming. But the tool is much higher level, apparently, at least, in some respects.

This opens (logically) endless possibilities, but watch out for well-known programming pitfalls; the Turing tarpit is already referenced as "very slow, and everything requires multiple steps".
