I'm insanely curious how can you spend an hour at gym. Showering alone takes 30 mins. There is also time commuting to and from gym. Do you work out for only 20 mins and is insanely efficient doing this task? Most people work out ~1 to 1.5 hours and combined with inefficiencies, commute and showering it's a 2 hour commitment.
I don't understand either. But Carlsen was in the seat for all 12 games, and he knows what was going on in his own head. Maybe he was simply exhausted and didn't trust his decision. Maybe that particular position gave him difficulty in a match four years ago. For whatever reason, the best chess player in the world decided that offering the draw was his best move in that moment.

That's a really interesting perspective.

For what it's worth, that's a modern variant of Marx & Engels argument against equality (opportunity or outcome). They say equality is a bourgeois tool to deal with capitalism's shortcomings. They stipulated that there will be no equality (neither of opportunity nor of outcome) in a communist society, and that that was a great thing. Instead of equality (opportunity or outcome) they suggested "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" [1].

The idea behind this line of thought is that equality matters only if you don't have enough, but communist society will provide so much surplus that envy simply disappears, and equality withers. It is interesting to ponder the correctness of this line of thought, e.g. do the slim in the rich world envy the obese, despite the latter consuming more food?
Traces of this argument go back to Aristotle.

Marx & Engels erred in that they assumed capitalist modes of production cannot produce vast amounts of surplus.

Noto. It feels like having access to an entire professional foundry as a FOSS download.

Though the sans is humanist and not neo-grotesk like Helvetica.

Hell, Noto Sans is available in more weights than Helvetica Neue LT Pro. I've actually found myself wishing that Helvetica Neue LT Pro had a real demi instead of jumping from medium to bold. Noto solves that problem.
That would suggest that, for example, C11 should not be referred to as the C programming language, since it introduces some new features? Similarly, if I said “I have a Camaro” to you, would you expect that I have a 1970s car or something more recent?

I am sorry, I think both you and Lynn Stout, are wrong, regardless of her credentials -- she sort of is making a name of her self by swing this sort of nonsense -- so her articles are self serving.

And yes, we can define shareholder value -- its the stock price. But I see your point and why I have talked about the grey area of what is the best move. But you would be hard pressed to find a group of shareholders who who all agree not taking big contracts is going to be the best move.

No, that is wrong, and ironically enough considering the parent post I originally replied to, dehumanizing. It's important to treat an individual as an individual. No attempt should be made to discriminate based on someone's ancestors. Nepotism is also bad.

With AWS, I found this info from tableau recently:

An AWS vCPU is a single hyperthread of a two-thread Intel Xeon core for M5, M4, C5, C4, R4, and R4 instances. A simple way to think about this is that an AWS vCPU is equal to half a physical core. Therefore, when choosing an Amazon EC2 instance size, you should double number of cores you have purchased or wish to deploy with.

Don't know how true it is, but there's no reason for me not to trust what Tableau has to say.

It's unfortunate, but the reason why I turned them off is because of a large number of uploaders who abused annotations with stupid annoying messages that added nothing to the video.

It sucks for creators who legitimately used it as corrections for videos but all in all, I think doing away with annotations is a net positive for the user experience.
I hope they get somewhere. There's a tactic that has historically been quite effective. A strike. Sysadmins can't be replaced on a moments notice, taking weeks to get up to speed. If google.com 404s for a few minutes, management will talk to you.

Yeah, and then the CEO decides he'd rather make $124M that year and feel good about himself in not kowtowing to totalitarian governments vs doing so and making $125M that year. The entire point of this comment thread is that individual people are not motivated solely by money. They care about many other things too, like their values.

Hell, this entire post exists because some Google employees care more about their values than about making as much money as possible.
Yeah, in order for this to be usable, it would need a better UI. Maybe some kind of overlay: it could automatically position the annotations at the correct position relative to the video, and make them appear and disappear at the appropriate times.

I wonder if implementing something like that would be technically feasible.
Implementing a counter-bias will not solve the problem but introduce artificial noise which will obscure data and hide the real issues.

Anecdotal opinions. I know plenty of vets who don't think MRAPs are a big deal at all.

Armored cars cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy and outfit from companies like Lenco. MRAPs are bought for ~$1k (transport costs) from the federal government.

It is nice to know that you can communicate with the other side of the world using no infrastructure, but it's unlikely that it will ever be necessary.

Airplanes on oceanic routes use HF radios, which is the same idea as ham radio. I am not sure why they don't use satellites. I guess it's cheaper than buying satellites.

This is the exception to the rule and not really relevant to anything I said I think?

This is more likely.

I agree - letting people use their abilities to advance themselves is best. If anything, I support blind screening of applicants. But I think the approach here has different intentions than what will very possibly occur - those with access continue to compound that.

Which is both the objective and a net positive for the workplace.

I get that everyone who's bad at interviews want to do away with them. But you could likely find charming individuals who want to do away with technical requirements because they feel their great personality is more important than what their gradepoint average was. Neither of those groups are right to discard the "other side" of the equation.

You need both, and hiring blindly based strictly for technical competence will have you feeling like you're managing a daycare center. Trust me, the interview is not a problem.
The Trump administration has stumbled backwards very publicly with regard to the people that the framers intended for free speech rights to protect: journalists. From overt anti-journalist rhetoric[1], to possible collusion in the murder of US national Jamal Khashoggi[2], a journalist critical of the Saudi regime. "Free speech" has been co-opted so effectively by the far-right movement that the same people who wave it around to defend debate of genocide simultaneously advocate for the prosecution of journalists.

One can build arbitrary approximate angles using lattices.

Lets assume we need 50 degrees angle and we have piece of paper with 100x100 cells. We can construct	rightangled triangle and seek for closest legs proportion which gives desired angle between one of legs and	hypotenuse.

Desired proportion must be rational number closest to tan(50 deg). We can find such rational number by seeking Farey sequence limited with denominator less than 100. So, for this case triangle with 87 and 73 cell legs will give us 50.000644597558434 degrees angle. Looks pretty good result to me.

I think, in case with two non-aligned rays we can reduce it to first case by building two triangles and constructing angle between hypotenuses.

This is literally a Black Mirror episode -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_Right_Back

Synopsis: "The episode tells the story of Martha (Hayley Atwell), a young woman whose boyfriend Ash Starmer (Domhnall Gleeson) is killed in a car accident. As she mourns him, she discovers that technology now allows her to communicate with an artificial intelligence imitating Ash, and reluctantly decides to try it. "Be Right Back" had two sources of inspiration: the question of whether to delete a dead friend's phone number from one's contacts, and the idea that Twitter posts could be made by software mimicking dead people."
Chinese Scientists Are Outraged by Reports of Gene-Edited Babies
Almost all wealth in Silicon Valley comes from equity price appreciation. Google stock has appreciated 7x since 2009, but Facebook has appreciated 38x in the same time period, Yelp 13x, Netflix about 35x, Apple about 6-7x.

I think the boom in web & mobile startups is basically over at this point, but there's a new boom in cryptocurrency & AI startups that's just beginning, along with a social movement (multiple social movements, actually) that's just beginning and will likely need communication technology to organize.
Exactly this, for most generic goods, automation has reached the point where the cost of producing goods somewhere not too far from a major American rail route is only marginally more expensive to deliver to the end consumer than had you produced it in China or elsewhere. The problem is that the Chinese manufacturing environment has a much tighter supply chain, where all the precursor products needed are also manufactured nearby with heavily optimized supply chains for getting raw goods where they need to be. This is especially true with high weight added products such as appliances.

The real problem is that we absolutely suck at manufacturing anything other than items that only really make sense to manufacture locally (certain food items, detergents), where in terms of exports we only exceed at certain types of heavy machinery along with certain chemical and polymer products.

My office window overlooks an intersection in Pleasanton CA [1] that looks like many in the city - wide streets, big grassy areas around the street, and carefully curated shrubs and trees past that. It's all very artificial. I can count maybe 10 plant species within view. Very few birds.

And it requires constant maintenance. Crews are here almost every day, driving mowers around, blowing and removing leaves and clippings, watering, spraying herbicide, etc. It strikes me as obscenely wasteful.

And for what? Nobody is picnicking on this grass. It's just an aesthetic choice that it seems like all of America has embraced - and no wonder everything is dying off. We're actively killing everything on this land that isn't the exact species of grass that was planted.

> The punishment for violating HIPPA is not placed on the individual, it's placed on the company.

Be careful believing that; it's true that direct liability under HIPAA is almost exclusively for be covered entity as such, but individuals may be criminally liable for HIPAA violations in two ways:

(1) Certain directors, officers, and employees may be liable under general principles of corporate criminal liability, and

(2) Individual employees (and other inbividuals) not criminally liable under (1) for direct HIPAA violations that have a role in it may be liable for conspiracy or aiding and abetting (the latter of which has identical punishment to the crime it relates to) related to the underlying crime committed by the covered entity that is their employer.

So, yes, actually knowingly leaking PHI that subjects the company to crimination penalties under HIPAA would likely also subject you to criminal penalties tied to that HIPAA violation.

It is sad that I can't even reveal who I am to talk about this but it needs to be done. If you look at 3 recent surveys of developers you find that the % of women respondents is extremely low. For example:

StackOverflow Survey: 6.9%
Javascript Survey: 5.1%
Rust Survey: 2.7%

Apparently answering an anonymous survey is either too much trouble for women to bother with or they just aren't participating in the development community at all. Women developers on HN, why aren't women participating? There are allegedly 25% women in development jobs. Are those surveys stretching the definition of developer? Why should companies be expected to hire women developers when it appears there are so few? The places with more than a few women developers also attract more, making it even more difficult for other companies to hire them. I am exasperated every time someone asserts that it isn't a pipeline problem. Based on these results there just aren't any out there at scale.

This would also assume all the users would know how to configure this specific endpoint, or that IT staff do this for all the users. Today there isn't a good story around automating this process in heterogeneous shops. (windows, mac, linux, misc api tools)

If a browser has a default option to use CloudFlare, Google, Amazon or Microsoft, then the user will click the button to "secure their DNS" and suddenly their internal applications may break or do odd things and companies start leaking even more internal records.

Some IT departments may try to fix this by deploying configurations for 80% of the use cases and some may just block the public DoH servers.

I can think of many ways this could be solved. The point I was trying to convey is that people have not thought this through and implemented this in browsers before corporate infrastructure was ready to accommodate the need. This creates contention and friction that could have been avoided, in my opinion. Adoption is likely to be embraced more widely if more use cases are accommodated.
