Undergraduate Degree in Business Administration vs. Top MBA in Europe
I've an undergraduate degree in Business Administration on a Top University in Europe. Is there any value (besides networking or access to jobs) in the MBA academic experience (Business knowledge) for example in INSEAD or LBS MBA itself? My primary Goal is to learn more and deeper business knowledge in general management to become a CEO of a large Company or to start my own tech company and scale it. I can't understand how the people with different backgrounds can learn more valuable things in 11-14 months which we've studied for 3 years at the University in St. Gallen. If I compare the undergrad wages vs MBA wages there is a huge difference. Can someone explain me why? The MBA curriculum looks very similar like our curriculum in undergrad.
Thanks very much!

As others have noted, hype from random marketing book != actual laws of anything.

If I was starting a startup today, I’d choose Google Cloud. They’re a bit cheaper than AWS, they have all the big types of cloud services you need, and they tend to be more simple/plug-and-play than AWS, requiring less Ops expertise to manage. GKE is awesome, Big Query is easier to manage than Redshift, PubSub easier to both manage and use than Kinesis, if you ever want a truly global database Google has that while AWS doesn’t, etc. AWS has a larger product catalogue, and is more configurable for big enterprises with huge Ops/security teams, but for a startup that has mostly dev and little Ops expertise, I’d choose Google Cloud.
The "legalistic gambit" is definitely a real thing. I've just learned the other day that there's a neologism for this: "sealioning" [1], defined as

Nothing, and no one cares. It's like the aged grandfather wheeled out at special occasions to reassure everyone they care, and promptly wheeled back out of sight. Life goes on.

Snowden is an embarrassment for those who use human rights, freedom and democracy to further other interests. Hence the deafening silence. The entire ecosystem that supports dissenters with asylum, grand freedom narratives and wall to wall coverage about evil regimes and heroic protest closed shop for Snowden, Assange, Manning and others.

Imagine the hysteria of the 'free world' in unison against the totalitarian chinese if there was no Snowden and a chinese dissenter leaked something like this, and his or her subsequent global fame as a defender of freedom. Now look as Snowden stranded in Russia and Assange in the Ecuador embassy. That is the pathetic state of pretension.

And instead of demonizing others and filling pages upon pages scaremongering about totalitarian surveillance vs democracy, its surveillance that is being demoted to a lesser transgression, even something 'acceptable' if not 'necessary', and that's what Snowden changed.

Actually no, there's no one size fits all with compression, in order to win that prize you need an algorithm specialized in compressing natural language text. Mine is specialized in binary data and fast I/O so it's a different nature.

Boiler Up
I don't think any of my concerns were addressed. If I index a <p@key1/> and its position changes in the child list, will the diff move the node (e.g. insertBefore) as opposed to unmounting/remounting it? Also, have you tested the performance of a Fisher-Yates shuffle on a list like [<p@key_i>]? I'm curious if that is faster than React. There are some cases where you'd want many list elements moving around.
Was just casually (well ok maybe it’s more compulsive than that) browsing HN and was pleasantly surprised to find tus on the front page. I’m one of the core contributors and happy to answer questions. Although it’s late here so it may take a few hours while I’m asleep :)
I could go on at length about why MLFlow / Databricks understanding of ML projects is bad to a bonkers degree. I’ll give just one example, which has mattered considerably for several production projects my team works on and tried to manage in ML Flow for a while.

The project was a suite of neural network models that provided face & object detection results in a low-latency web interface where customers can manipulate photos and want automated metadata about people or objects.

In our case, to optimize for performance we need to frequently experiment with compile-time details of the runtime environment (in our case a container) where the application will run in production.

So the axis of our experiments wasnot usually anything to do with neural network layers or data or parameters. It was different compiler optimization flags, different precision approximations and GPU settings that needed to be rolled into a huge number of different underlying runtime environments, and then for each distinct runtime environment the more mundane experiments would be carried out for layer topology, number of neurons, width of CNN filters, etc.

We found that unless youbasically build your own entire “meta” version of ML Flow that wraps around ML Flow, then it falls apart at use cases where custom compile time details of the runtime are themselves aspects of the experiment. Not to mention that the Projects formatting violates good practices, like 12 Factor stuff, for how to inject settings from the environment, which again leads to wasted effort making special case deployment handling for ML Flow jobs.

Whatever deploys and measures your tasks should not also impose any type of special case packaging structure, which is a big reason why MLFlow conceptually fails. Any attempt to make anything at all like a DSL packaging layer for experiments that causes it to diverge from “regular deployment of any old job” is immediately a failed idea. The only thing it’s good for is creating unwitting vendor lock-in once you’re highly dependent on this bespoke, weird packaging template for Projects that makes your ML jobs weirdly (and needlessly) different from other deployment tasks.
Natural language can be extremely ambiguous though, and while the ambiguity may be resolved easily from context, someone in OP's situation doesn't have that context. The precision mathematical notation can afford (more readily than, say, English) actually helps. But of course, only of one knows the meaning...

I'm in a somewhat similar position to OP, it's extremely rare that I'd find a whole paper accessible, the best way I know is just to get gradually more specific, from a broad undergraduate textbook on 'logic' or whatever other similarly broad area, and hone in on the more specific area of interest. Notation will be introduced, and by the time the last 5% is, 80% will be second nature, and the remaining 15% will be familiar and 'let's see.. I think it was used in this book..'

No, it is a question of preference. I am way more produtive on Linux than on macOS, because my window manager of choice (i3wm) is very customized to my needs and basically impossible to replicate on macOS (you can come close, however things doesn't work as it should).

> when the battery on my laptop isn't recognized (I got a Thinkpad with a removable battery), when the trackpad is glitching. Right now I have a nagging issue that the laptop wont charge when it hits 0% battery unless I unplug it and remove the battery, then plug it again. This is a Thinkpad, which I got specifically because it's said to be hassle-free on Linux.

This seems to be a hardware issue, since even if the battery is not recognized by Linux (say, bad ACPI tables) it should recharge anyway (you wouldn't have indication of it charging, unless your Notebook has a LED indicator for it).

A prove that this is a hardware problem is that you probably would have the same issue on Windows. If you doesn't it maybe a problem that only happens on Linux, however I find it very strange (and dangerous) that Lenovo would leave battery management entirely to the OS.
At first I had a "seriously" reaction but honestly George Soros actually brought it on himself for once instead of just anti-Semitism. He actually deserves vicious invective for once.

It doesn't mattet what your race or political leanings are if you call companies that provide information to people a danger to democracy as goddamned a billionaire you deserve to be questioned if you are only in it for the money and power. It is a valid question. Furthermore it is fair to throw shade in response to aggressive rhetoric and calls to abolish to try to silence you because they don't like what you are saying. Since that in itself is a dangerously fascist path and the proper response to all of totalitarian ilk is always "fuck you all".

Antisemitism is uncalled for but if you are a billionaire attacking other billionaires except to be hit in return regardless of if you are right or wrong.

Yes, thanks! The level of conversation here is unmatched. The set of things Dan and Scott have done to improve upon even the historical baseline are amazing (e.g., resubmit to front page for good submissions that got missed). HN is where I’ve turned for years for honest discussion, and thanks to our moderators I expect it will be for years to come.
You mean like how I envy my seniors, who managed to get a "Personal Assistant" or PA, who basically does this? because in the end, if you hire them, you can't get the same kind of tractive force them hiring you has.

On the other hand, you can get them to do things in calendar, project and time management, which you really should be able to do, but for whatever reason cannot. Yes, even project management. A lot of P.M. is timeline enforcement. amazing what a 2IC can do in these situations.

My seniors who have PA, basically rely on them to coordinate the awesome. The PA has no functional authority, except the silent kind a camerlengo has...

Maybe instead of paying the boss more if you fail, donate to charity or some other financial loss. A charity you don't like for a negative penalty if needed.

If you fail, you pay the charity an amount Y. If you succeed, you could do nothing, or give the Boss a bonus of .5Y for being a good boss

Can you elaborate on the deep problems? I personally find it relatively conceptually elegant.
Maybe it simply has something to do with what Soros has funded[0], and partly with what he's alleged to have funded (such as riots), that people don't approve of? Not the act of funding. Additionally Soros has been at this for decades. I think that you would find people caring about Buffet funded projects if he had the same streak. Honestly I'm just impressed by the master play at deflecting so much criticism, critics are either anti-semites or part of a nutty conspiracy group like the fake moon landing folks.

Well, if that's all you want, then sure, you don't gain much from using boilerplate.

Boilerplate like create-react-app precisely hooks things together that are nontrivial to glue together, and often come with additional polish you aren't going to research and invest in every project.

So, I'd say "I think these do too much" misses the point of them.

> Arguing on HN is nightmare. It costs lot of karma. And I can't downvote yet. Not fair.

This is why you shouldn't have the right to downvote. You don't use down voting to argue. In fact, if you down vote something in reply to, you are literally saying that whatever you reply with is worth less than the comment you are replying to. A down voted comment by definition adds _nothing_ to the conversation and doesn't belong.
Although Ive seen questionable decisions occasionally, over 99% of what Ive seen with showdead on was a tremendous volume of useless or negative comments HN is better of without. That's on top of work to stop things like vote manipulations. dang also intervened to calm my ass down in some scruffles. Agreeing or disagreeing, he always respinded to my questions or gripes in email with thoughtful points.

So, thanks Dan and Scott for all the good work you do keeping the comment sections higher quality than most of the Internet. :)

I took unmistakable as meaning that you can recognize an Excoffon font. Which I don't find so strange a claim - they're not exactly minimalist sans fonts, so a lot of personal character will sneak in, consciously or not.
Perhaps, then, we should be paying attention to recent theoretical research on post-capitalist market societies, or even post-capitalist non-market societies. We should learn from our mistakes.
From a service point of view, there are almost no advantages. Large (and even small) companies can do a very good job of providing a secure, redundant, easy-to-use, service at minimal (or no) financial cost.

For you to maintain redundant connectivity, storage, and compute will immediately be a non-trivial workload. Then you need to keep it patched, and monitored, and backed up.

Then you have to run the mail infrastructure, possibly including a web front-end. postfix + dovecot + some-spam-thing. Blacklists. Spam signatures. DNS configuration, SPF, all the other hoops you need to jump through to get the big players to accept your mail.

After a lot of work, and mucking about, and ongoing expense and effort, you can end up with something that will probably be nearly-but-not-quite as good as what you'd get from a commercial provider.

BUT ... it'll be yours, and it'll be how the Internet was meant to be, and you'll be a part of the last bastion of open standards and cooperative distributed systems until such time as the big players decide that they're sick of SMTP and collude to produce a proprietary thing that looks like email, but kinda isn't, and you'll be left talking only to the other diehards.

Personally, I have taken a middle path: I use Pobox/Fastmail with my own domain. That way I maintain the control over it, but I've outsourced the work to someone who can amortize the costs over lots of accounts. I pay for the service, and have chosen a provider who doesn't try to leverage that relationship into a whole-of-life intrusion.

I honestly don’t know. I feel grateful for the basic stimuli of physical existence. I don’t really feel very good about anything else in my life due to years of serious health problems and my lack of a positive future - the best thing I have going now is that nobody can take anything away from me, I’d happily just die.

In the meantime, and thankful to be living in this time and amazing technology and opportunity. I’m grateful to be in a booming city with the glitzy culture during a time of relative peace.

I think the main problem is that many developers don't think of Git as a DAG, so they don't really understand at a fundamental level what the operations are actually doing.

Once you understand this, Git really does become simple. All you have to do is map each command to the actual operation on the DAG.

Gitless doesn't change anything about git's concepts, it just abstracts away some commands. So if you think this solves the problems, they're clearly not "conceptual" faults.

I think this is important because people are so quick to jump on the "git is bad" contrarian meme. Git is a fantastic piece of work and the CLI has a variety of issues. On top of this, git is conceptually unintuitive, so the CLI issues make for a worse experience.
If they could extend this to someone who would actively manage you, instead of just be a human to-do list with procrastination checks, this might be worth something. The idea at its core is great.

I would suggest adding something to your first one: you can successfully eat whatever you purchase.

I have celiac and serious food allergies, as well as an esophageal disorder. I also can’t digest milk or eggs properly. When I go to the grocery store, I walk around pretty much laughing to myself about how I literally cannot eat almost anything there. For Thanksgiving, I am having plain beef roast in a blender (well, sea salt) and specific potato chips. And cider - I mean, it’s not all bad.

It’s easy to take health for granted, but it’s amazing how much it can screw up your life when one part of your body isn’t working.
