The advice in this article is very on-point. I would add that a creative project can also be done at your current job. If you have the freedom to take on new responsibilities, it will be generally seen as a positive (who doesn't like employees that work late and on the weekend?). You might even get a promotion. How that compares to doing something on the side is up to you, but I would recommend not seeing work as just work, but a place where you can experiment in an existing enterprise.
I wonder when will Russia do the same.
By allowing free trade you allow companies to operate wherever is most efficient.

This reduces costs, and therefore reduces prices (through competition). Everybody is a winner (apart from the previously-protected businesses who now have to compete on a level playing field).

How else do you want democracy to work? The people agreed on a system of rules order to decide between two directions and a decision was made. If the government can just decide to not carry out the will of the people (however thin the margins are) then why have a vote at all?
Where can I buy US made jeans for 10% more than their typical internationally made counterparts? A pair of Levis or Wranglers runs somewhere between $30 and $50. I've never seen a pair of American made jeans for less than $200. Similar result with boots.

If US made was only 10% more, I would go out of my way to purchase only domestically produced goods, but when it's 100+%, it's really hard to justify.
Of intelligence data there is. Read up on ITAR and EAR. So you don’t think that the satellites AWS will interface with will be facing earth with sensors?

The "Do you consider yourself a member of an underrepresented demographic in technology" result is interesting - 92.06% No, but a total summing to 156.3%. Assuming this question was phrased as "either No, or check all that apply", this suggests that many of those who do feel underrepresented feel that way on multiple counts.

Is the "The survey also highlights some challenges, as the number of women is still lower than the industry average of women in programming fields" editorial comment based solely on this result? It seems to exclude the possibility of women who don't identify as belonging to an underrepresented group.
In the UK there definitely is a distinction between the terms parliament and government.

Parliament refers to the entire body of the houses of commons and lords.

Gorverment refers to the executive (prime minister, cabinet & other ministers) which is can include people who are not members of parliament.
Oh. I don't see how being a tourist trap is antithetical to the "open road spirit". Did you just go there recently and want to crap on it because you saw the name? I've been to both sides and found them both pretty touristy, myself.
Some might be encrypted, but I don't think they are all encrypted:

https://www.rtl-sdr.com/rtl-sdr-tutorial-receiving-noaa-weat...

Usually the export laws and restrictions (ITAR) refer to the technology used to launch the satellites, not the data they downlink.

But if you had the key, you could also use encrypted satellite data.

Are there? You can’t open a business in China without it being majority Chinese owned. There are plenty of companies doing their manufacturing in China, but every example I know of the wforeigb company contracts the Chinese company to do the manufacturing. Often they’re even further removed, such as Apple who works with a Taiwanese company who just happens to have their manufacturing in China.

You're defining diversity as only diversity of race and gender, irrelevant and unchangeable physical characteristics that have nothing to do with a person's individual character. You're making decisions not on competence but on subjective biases and your perception of wrongs that have nothing to do with merit.

There is no "ideal diverse workforce". By forcing a particular set number of people in each arbitrary group, you are absolutely designing for an outcome, not opportunity. You did not give anyone who applied an opportunity to be hired, you demanded a specific "heuristic across the group" based on nothing but what someone looks like, on biological features that nobody has control over.

This is completely opposite of making things as fair as possible, and I am truly lost at how you are rationalizing this.

I'm a person who can't sustain my mental health if I'm not building things. Quite literally. And I know there are plenty of others like me who face the idea of a typical 9-5 life with crushing existential dread.

I appreciate the article, and I'd also caution anyone who opened it looking for magic tricks or simple solutions. There really aren't any. I work part-time and make substantially less money than I could working full time. I say no to friends who want to hang out. And sometimes I start to hate my creative work or get burnt out on it.

But I do it; I keep doing it.

I'm in a band, I make my own music, I built an art car for Burning Man this year, I write and design things. And it keeps me happy and keeps me going.

All I'm really trying to say is that it's like health. The trick to being in good health is that there is no trick. Eat well and exercise. The trick to having creative pursuits is to sacrifice the time to sit your ass down and get to work.
> are you actually arguing that that is a net benefit?

Net benefit to who? Global capital efficiency, people?

There's no way to fudge this decision.

Let's agree that if everybody wanted Brexit, we should have Brexit. And if everybody wanted to remain, we should have remain. Then, start with everyone wanting Brexit, and flip opinions towards remain, one by one. At some point the group decision flips. Political decisions are just like that. Majority rule is not to blame.
Altough that would be awesome. Spin up additional satellites via API. Takes a few days until they’re online, but at least they stream the launch video feed in the AWS console.

Also, I think they kind of jumped the shark with this one.
Black has two disadvantages starting though, second and additional time pressure. As for the win rates I can't imagine they'd be very good data because armageddon is the format of last result for tournaments so there's likely fewer games played. On top of that there's a lot of player variation under time pressure. Some (like Carlsen who has a rapid elo of 2880 and a blitz rating of 2939) have their ELO improve as you move to faster formats while others get worse (like, unfortunately for him, Caruana who goes from rapid 2789 to blitz 2767). The rating differences alone mean Carlsen is the heavy favorite to win going into these tie breakers well before we get to the armageddon round. [1]

I think given the probabilities in the 538 model Carlsen's decision makes a lot of sense. Why slug it out to a probable draw with the chance to lose out of nowhere when you can move to another format that drastically favors you?

Its pretty unlikely to end in draw with blitz clocks, one player can usually gain a minuscule advantage and win on time if necessary.
I don't agree. Having the focussed attention of those fans is different. Also there's a euphoria associated with being involved ina large event that means when it ends there's a sense of loss, normality is so humdrum it's depressing. I can see someone curtailing that return to normality by all means.
A key problem is that police forces have effectively no incentive to avoid negligent use of force, in that any resulting lawsuits are paid for by the taxpayers.

> Imposing tariffs on imports is classic protectionism - are you actually arguing that that is a net benefit?

Not sure if it's a net benefit. And neither are you. But there are certainly winners and losers.

Protectionism for European agriculture has made Europe a positively lovely place to live. Have you seen it? I recommend the south of France.

> Of course the protected industries benefit from protectionism, the argument against protectionism is that everyone else loses.

I have a degree in economics, the concept hasn't escaped me.

Noticing that having protections evaporate overnight could have massive negative consequences for many is pretty relevant.

> There is no reason that a transaction with a counterparty in Shanghai should incur any more taxes than an equivalent transaction with a counterparty in Manchester.

If it just happens to turn Manchester into an economic wasteland where the daughters of England are sold into prostitution and working men beg for scraps of food in the street, then those are two reasons.

I get the argument you're making. It's a style of economic conversation where you assume frictionless perfect markets and rational allocations of resources. Those of us that actually understand how economic systems work moved on from that sort of simplistic line of thinking generations ago.

Your CIO is so ... looking for a polite word ... stupid that he must be fired. No doubt. So write an email to him that what he did is too dangerous and must be undone (DB removed). If the databised is not removed quickly, report it. It is your duty.
In the UK parliament voting system, you vote for the individual, not the party list. Thus MPs won't do anything that makes them lose votes. Voting for a bad deal (even though it's the best deal you'll get) will make you lose votes in the next election, even more so if the deal is actually approved. It's very easy to criticize from the fences when that gets you more votes.

That's basically the reason why Boris Johnson didn't "run" for Prime Minister on the election after the referendum. And he was the main representative of the Brexit campaign that had just won. He knew whoever was going to be PM would only be able to get a bad deal and would be fiercely criticized.

Everyone, that is, except the people who have to live with the externalities that come with chasing efficiency.

Some of those places that are more efficient are more efficient because, hey, they don't regulate emissions. Or they don't have strict safety standards. Or they don't require employers to take care of injured workers.

Clearly, not everybody is a winner.
I don't think it's because MPI is better, it's just most of the supercomputers I have access to require use of MPI like constructs.
Quite right. And this was an act done by the parliament and not the government, as I said.
I think he is concerned that now that there is an easy way to set up an antenna on the ground, there will be a wave of rocket launches sending new satellites into orbit.

Of course, setting up a radio receiver on the ground is not the hard part about launching satellites, so this is unlikely to change much. When AWS starts letting you launch satellites for $1.99/pound, then we can start worrying.
Why is it a net loss to humanity if a person in a poor country does the job instead of a person in your country? They're people too.

The article mentions ubiquitous micro satellites. This tech is simply following from that although not directly stated in the title. The fact that these micro satellites are cheap and so easy to cookie cutter and deploy is great in terms of tech but seems to compound the issue of space debris. Anyway, just after becoming aware of this I was less enthusiastic about the communications aspects.

Google's leadership has a responsibility for doing what they think are best for the long term prospects of the company.

In the grand scheme of things, yet another censored search engine in China is not going to hurt anyone.

China can run their country however the hell they want. YOU may not agree with their values, but THEY might not agree with yours.

I read the parent implying the opposite. The cases where the eth contracts are secure, because they only rely on actions captured in and only in the network, are very few.
Right, but even in a world where we have "the next generation of decentralized payments", what does that have to do with whether it's wise or not to be buying BTC as a store of value or "investment"?

At the end of the day, BTC is a zero-sum game. If you "make money" by selling it ahead of a crash, you're just grabbing money from the future sucker who's holding it ahead of you. This is a casino, not an investment.
Out of curiosity, why would you do this? Why would you want to voluntarily censor information from yourself?
I find it troubling people take this to the political level -- China vs Taiwan. School me how is this related to the censorship? FYI, Chinese do not recognize Taiwan as independent, so there will not be censored comments here because Chinese has unified views on this historical problem.

I ask because Github attempted this while organizing ElectronConf a year ago, but it turned out their blind submission review process[1] resulted in an all-male panel. Someone noticed and got upset[2], after which Github canned it. There was an HN discussion about it too[3].

Now we can speculate how many submissions were from people that don't identify as male (was it 50 or less%? Github hasn't released details to my knowledge). The issue though is that once the results (of what appears to be a fair process) didn't match the desired narrative, people screamed sexism and made mostly emotional arguments.

You've mentioned an "inter-generational correction schema" elsewhere in the thread. In most institutions, this essentially gets instated as quotas which embitters the majority in the system (including the people they target to enable because it's assumed they had to get past a "lower bar").

However, the French Gendarmes are a paramilitary police force. It’s part of the French military and under interior ministry control. Does France have concerns about this military-style police force? Just saying militarization is a “bad idea,” seems to be an opinion based on emotion rather than facts. It seems like any police force can be bad or good; the militarization doesn’t seem to have much to do with that. French Gendarmes are reasonably respected. Actual armed soldiers patrol tourist areas in France, and that hasn’t led to any particular oppression unique to militarization. It does however make French tourist sites vastly safer than most places in the world that don’t have such patrols.

It’s really a question of training rather than equipment or appearance.
