As another child comment mentions, Shake Shack was designed in a lab to be a franchise monster. The founder of Shake Shack is Danny Meyer, who is quite possibly America's most celebrated restaurateur and the CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group. By the time Shake Shack opened, Meyer had been running restaurants for over 30 years.

The hot dog cart in Madison Park that originated Shake Shack was stocked by the kitchen of Eleven Madison Park (then a Meyer owned restaurant) which sits next to the park, has three Michelin stars and in 2017 was #1 on the World's 50 Best Restaurant's list.
Yes, but this is where it gets a little complicated, and why this accident is so fascinating to many people in aviation...

>> if the nose of a plane suddenly drops, isn't the pilot's first instinct to pull back on the controls to raise it?

Not exactly, as the correct way to get out of a stall is pointing the nose down, in order to pick up airspeed to gain more lift. The stall horns were going off, so the pilots may have thought they were stalling. In addition, as others have mentioned, the yoke alone may be unable to beat out the trim by the autopilot.

>> From what I've read, in Boeing aircraft at least, the pilot's controls can always override the automatic systems.

Historically, you are exactly right. This is the _biggest_ reason pilots are pissed at Boeing right now. It's believed that the autopilot was turned off entirely when the plane started thinking it was stalling, and trying to point itself down. This is not present on any of the original 737 aircraft, only the MAX series, and Boeing didn't inform pilots of this.

I'm not sure what you meant by people having agendas.

Do you agree that the English language imposes an opinion about what's important and what kind of categories of objects there are in the world? That's what I'm saying. English is just an example. The principle of looking at human language as a tool is the same for all languages, so if it's your native tongue don't be offended.

To restate what I said, why are there these three top-most categories -- he, she, it? Is that ideal? How cognisant are we of the effects of this choice?

There was more than the US Civil War to tip Europe off to what it had been like had they been looking. The Russo-Japanese war, the Franco Prussian war, various colonial wars where the effectiveness of the machine gun against infantry was made obvious, etc, Europe could have learned from these had they wanted to, and indeed some people did but they weren't the people making the decisions.
I won't disagree with you on this because you'll always feel more comfortable with something if you've been using your whole life. For example, I would never understand why you think 1/2ft = 6in is simpler when you have to know in advance that 1ft = 12in. It could be because I'm not used to it.

Using the metric system you'll rarely write 1/2m, as fractions are not what a person used to metric would default to. That is why 1/6m looks so weird as no one would use it like that, but if you write it 0.5m now it's obvious we are talking about 50cm, or 500mm.

BUT,

In those examples you are not using the system, you are just using one unit. If the question were, for example, what is the mass of the water contained in a 1m x 1m x 1m box, then the answer is obvious which system is by far the most sane one.

If you're going to have a full IDE where you can write and compile code that Apple has never seen, it makes sense that developers would be able to download and run unsigned binaries inside the terminal for development purposes.

Attempting to arbitrarily differentiate between unreviewed code that you're writing and running versus unreviewed code someone else wrote that you're running would be a strange line to draw in the sand.

If they somehow decide to provide Xcode but don't provide a terminal at all, that would obviously be very limiting.
It's okay to temporarily price out the locals until the inundation goes away.
The way I think about it is that benchmarks include deterministic operations (that happen every time) and nondeterministic operations (that don't). And all of these numbers are positive, since there are few things in the world that take negative time.

By taking the minimum, we focus attention on the deterministic operations. This isn't likely to be realistic for production, but production won't look much like your benchmark hardware anyway.

When making code changes, deterministic operations are the part you have most influence over and have the most impact. Removing an unnecessary, deterministic operation will speed up every run, not just some of them.

>The definition of the kilogram for more than 130 years, the International Prototype of the Kilogram (IPK), a cylinder of a platinum alloy stored at the BIPM in France, will now be retired. It will be replaced by the Planck constant

Maybe I interpreted it wrong (non-native English speaker), but does it say that the Kilogram will be equal to the Planck constant? Shouldn't it be that the definition of the Kg will be based on the Planck constant?

>Although the size of these units will not change (a kilogram will still be a kilogram)

Are our current measurements of the IPK that exact so the old kg is exactly equal to the new Kg? How can they measeure it with 0 error?. It doesn't make any sense to me.

This talk really gave me a foundation for understanding how moisture works in a building enclosure through seasons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld8pzIu45F8

The speaker is a little hammy, but he's doing (more or less) legitimate science, and he laid out a bunch of principles I didn't understand before.

In particular, the different layers of the wall (ballistic, water, insulation, vapor, structure) really need to go in the right order, and at literally every exterior joint in the house you need to match up all five layers. There are also several layers that it is crucial to vent/drain.

It's extremely complicated, and for the most part just obeying code and convention will only get you 80% of the way there.

It seems to me there are also anti-patterns ensconced in code and convention. The idea that insulation goes inside the structural layer for example. You want your insulation layer to be unbroken.
This sounds like a line from Slicon Valley.
Really interesting article. This is the link to the yelp review: https://www.yelp.com/biz/stanichs-portland-5?osq=stanich

IMO, it's unfair to blame it on the guy who recommended the restaurant. There are thousands of restaurants that dream to have it happen. Think of it like this, I write an app and Mark Z shares it on his twitter. Sure, the traffic can kill the app, but I have to find a way to maintain it and do my due diligence to make sure the site will run smoothly when the user base increases.

It's too bad what happened. It does appear the real problem was family issues and not having great business practice. NOT the author/article.

I want to include the fact that burgers are probably my second favorite food after a Nigiri set.

> Are you perhaps actually trying to say, "it's unfortunate that there was no justice, but for people who believe that God will judge the accused, that can provide some consolation"?

I agree with your point that holding such a belief would likely be of some psychological comfort to people who want to see justice done.

However, my original post's goal really was to point out that the parent comment implicitly assumed the falsehood of religious beliefs held by much of the worlds' population, and probably some HN readers as well.

Perhaps it's a mistake for me to point these things out explicitly, and instead just use downvoting instead.
Heh, that sounds kind of awesome actually.
They support it, but in a very strange and broken way (lots of MS-specific fields with poor documentation).

I didn't see it until this comment thread. The BBC/your Facebook friends are the problem there, if it's offensive why would you play it or popularise it.

Presumably you'd like BBC management and your social media contacts to also be imprisoned? Isn't it inconsistent not to.

If just seeing this is an offense worthy of imprisonment then those on social media, and the BBC cause far more offense.

So true. I just started AWS development and sure I managed to trudge through it carefully and make sure my buckets had the correct policy.

But I can totally understand how a lot of people are making mistakes. AWS is very overwhelming even to an experienced Linux admin and programmer.

And even with the bucket policy generator you're left reading a lot of documentation to understand what you need to input.

Add on top of that a person from a non-english speaking country and it's a recipe for privacy disaster.

It will still mostly work the same way, except that instead of someone having the "one true artifact", anyone with enough equipment can measure their kilogram against natural constants and know it's correct.

It means the right answer is freely available to anyone (with a bunch of scientific equipment).
I would do it like this: I would create a yearly --- no, make that lifetime membership pass which can be obtained for $30 or whatever. The locals would get this for free. With the membership pass, you would go to a separate lineup which has priority over the regular line up. Then I would work the the same relaxed pace as before, not caring whether 3 people are waiting or 300. The membership pass could make users and their guests eligible for a discount, like 15-25% off. Nothing too drastic.
I'm getting well out of my domain here, but I'm wondering if there's some "common non-idealness" in FPGAs to be exploited which isn't accurately captured in simulators.

Things like this:

> A further five cells appeared to serve no logical purpose at all--there was no route of connections by which they could influence the output. And yet if he disconnected them, the circuit stopped working.

> It appears that evolution made use of some physical property of these cells--possibly a capacitive effect or electromagnetic inductance--to influence a signal passing nearby. Somehow, it seized on this subtle effect and incorporated it into the solution.

which could be implemented in a more general manner and don't rely on the peculiarities of a single board. It may not prove to be robust, but in a pure research sense I'd love to see it.

The same arguments can be made for Beats headphones. There are better products for less money but your average consumer is not going to figure that out. It follows to say that the Public Relations industry has more value than most engineers realize.
This doesn't impact the actual weight of a kg. What this impacts is how the kg is defined, no longer does it rely on a physical kg.

It used to literally be defined as the mass of "IPK" - the international prototype kilogram. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilogram#International_prototy...

This switch now defines it in terms of the force equivalent of the energy exerted by a single photon - if my understanding is correct.

Theoretically a more scientifically sound way of keeping 1 kg a constant permanently.

Here's an example of the type of questions that kids in the "Free Korea" faces: https://external-preview.redd.it/xL79rBC8VK4gI5lej7gFbU1priH...

This is only the tip of the iceberg. It appears that in order to force everybody on a normal distribution map, they've gone well past the original purpose of the government exams, which was originally a neo-Confucian artifact to promote egalitarianism-the idea that even peasants who pass the government exams are able to improve their social standing after a long period of caste society based on lineage.

This means students aren't tested even on rote memorization or any of the necessary skills in the real world. Instead, they've become victim to the billion dollar industry of extra-cirricular cram schools. Public schools have become completely dependent on a widely unregulated cram schools because it's become impossible to come out on top when everybody is getting specialized help. You can't fault these parents either, these exams are insane and it makes sense that there is demand for extra tutoring.

The biggest tragedy of this is that it's no longer egalitarian like in it's tradition, it's about who has the money and can pay for their child's education. Low middle class Korean families can't support the cost of raising a child in this hyper education focused culture with very little prouductivity other than elevating the truly gifted exam takers running the country with no experience other than from books.

A big reason why in South Korea, you can commit horrible crimes and almost get a slap on the wrist because of incompetent, unexperienced judges and prosecutors who have mastered the art of climbing the Korean ladder, a giant bureaucracy that permeates through every part of Korean culture. Neo-confucianism is facing significant stress and young Koreans are undergoing social change.

>I can't wait for science-illiterate politicians to take this ('Look at what YCombinator is saying!') and say we should defund science.

This is an extremely hyperbolic thing to say. While I don't think that in this economy spending levels for science need to be decreased, reducing spending won't be "dangerous". I don't even know what "threat" you're imagining is so important that reducing science spending is necessary.

This article is actually spot on, from my and my partner's experiences in PhD programs. The field is saturated with people and everyone is trying to stake their claim. Pressure is high not to get scooped, frontiers are small and hard to find, and most progress is very small increments which take lots of time and funding to accomplish.

I think the money is fine, but the number of PhDs awarded needs to decrease. Important discoveries nowadays take lots of time and very dedicated people, but the system is set up to incentivize quickly nabbing low hanging fruit. It's rare that I attend a PhD defense where the contribution is anything but a baby step forward.
> The only reason anybody cares about that reviewer's opinions are because he has a platform and people are desperate to belong to something, anything.

I disagree. It's not about "belonging to something". I agree with what the author wrote in the article. The problem is with the paradox of choice (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Paradox_of_Choice). Decisions are paralyzing when people are faced with a myriad of choices. "Best of lists" fix this problem for many people, which is why they are so universally popular across industries. Now instead of picking from a 1000 choices, you have 10.
If people using AWS for your organization can't be bothered to take a few minutes to RTFM in its entirety (AWS has excellent documentation, compare to Azure's docs.microsoft.com behemoth of confusion), they shouldn't have access to reconfigure you're entire cloud infrastructure. Buckets are sensible private by default. If you don't know what you're doing, leave them that way.
Yes, CS is a completely different beast for two reasons.

First, our intro-level courses are fairly stable but nowhere near as stable as Calculus or Physics intros. If you don't change your intro for a decade, it starts to show. Whereas I'm pretty sure my children will take more-or-less the same calc course that I took, and my calc book was pretty indistinguishable from my mother's. To really emphasize the point, my mother's CS course was done on punch cards...

And it's not just content. Student preparedness has been changing a lot lately. We reached "peak physics/calc" in high schools a long time ago (hell, my grandpa took calc in high school). But students showing up at university knowing how to program is relatively new for most institutions.

Third, enrollments have been increasing exponentially (yus, really exponentially) year over year (yes, every year) for close to a decade now (yes, a decade).

So. Yes, CS ed is very different from the more stable STEM fields, especially recently.
Alphabet's life sciences unit halts glucose-sensing lens project
> it makes no sense for Germany to compete with France and the United Kingdom [...] A better plan would be to establish a new pan-European [...]

I am an outsider, but this sounds like a naive perspective. Competing locally has survival-of-the-fittest strategy that then can compete globally. However, taking public sector funds and treating these efforts as essentially government institutions that have an explicit goal of competing globally, you lose the organic growth and proof of value the market could otherwise help you decide.

The article makes a point that Silicon Valley is built with public funds, but to anyone really paying attention, it is clear it (and several other tech centers nationwide) is driven by private capital and grows with it. Same in many other states/cities that have thriving ecosystems. Imagine if policy shifted towards large amounts of public funds with the explicit goal of cross-state cooperation for global competition. That is just a government institution at that point, not grants.

I dub these policies "Envy-Based Funding" and I would be upset at my state/city using such large amounts of funds purely as a naive attempt to mimic SV.

It's not just you, the wording is a bit weird. Yes, they are trying to say that the definition of the kg will be based on the Planck constant.

Further down, the article says: "The kilogram – will be defined by the Planck constant (h)."
