>I think many people write their job description's requirements, as if it were the opening stage of a negotiation. You list everything you want as if it were a requirement, and you will only get about half of that. But the problem is, it isn't a negotiation, it's a minimum spec (especially if you put the word "required" next to that line), and so many quite good candidates won't apply.

They have the option to distinguish "minimum/required" vs "nice to have", though.

Their success and retention.

When I went through the Bridgewater process there were about 6 different personally tests I took. Some were more precise than others. I measured a 96% objectivity score which is a statistical anomaly. I ultimately dropped out as I found a less risky position in my local metro far away from the east coast.

I hate loud restaurants, I hate loud cafes, I hate when I have to listen to dumb music all the fing time.

Pro tip (for people in London at least): Senate House library in London rents out private Study Carrels to its members. These are located in the reading rooms (which are usually very quiet) and have their own walls and a door you can close. I loved them and did some fantastic focused work there (although others found them claustrophobic...)

This is like me! ReBirth was pivotal for shifting my computer use from purely gaming to more creative efforts including programming, back in middle school. I’m probably not wrong to say it is has had a huge influence on music software since. I still enjoy using it on the iPad.

Your list is also a good one, I would add this,

It was amazing to hear Ten Ragas - especially as someone who grew up around Goa Trance. Considering that it’s roughly from the same time as Phuture (even predating it by some years) it is like the lost eastern counterpart to Acid. The music is the interface, the medium is the message, etc.
It also means I can't understand my wife when she speaks. It is bad enough at home with my kids yelling at the top of their lungs (any ideas on how to break them of this?), when we go out it is impossible.

Same here. I'm not usually deaf, but from time to time one ear blocks for a few weeks.

When that happens, I totally know what you mean about being unable to hear conversations in restaurants, bars, etc.

Even when my talking partner is aware, localising their voice from the din with one ear is really difficult. (Btw, there's some really impressive research at using AI techniques to help with that, which will makes it way into hearing aids eventually.)

Its at times like that I find it's way too easy to maintain a conversation with nods and yes/nos without having a clue what it's about. I've even done it in languages where I don't understand a word. I feel it says something about the speaker, that they can talk for ages without any confirmation that it's understood and no meaningful talk the other way :)
The full quote just said there’s less ambiguity with the title:

“Nurcahyo Utomo, aviation head at the National Transport Safety Committee, said it was "too early to conclude" whether the anti-stall system had contributed to the crash.
He added that the plane experienced similar problems during its previous flight from Denpasar in Bali to Jakarta.
"In our opinion, the plane was no longer airworthy and it should not have continued," he said. The committee's report itself, though, does not spell out that conclusion.”
Oh. If there is one thing we are not lacking it's libraries.

Actively fighting to make them all louder is what's causing it here, not a lack of libraries.
To some degree, but no more than, say, the number of lisp-based programming languages or flavours of linux =].

In my mind it's something to explore rather than balk at. If you find something amazing like you've never heard before, then looking at the genre can help you to discover more things like it.

The biggest win -if it works as expected- would be the influence on other cities to do similar projects and focus on creating fast-and-electric-powered alternatives to move cars; also there may be a gain in safety issues due not relying in the driving skills of its users.
Traffic in a city where every street is cobblestone and they are traveled by horses with iron shoes pulling carts and carriages with iron tired wheels is not going to be very quiet.

I would expect that the noise was in fact less than modern vehicles but the cities of the past were not full of the quiet sounds of nature that people like to whitewash their imagination with.
The "hate" you speak of occurs on online comment sections only, and is likely a reaction to the sometimes cult-like devotion professed by his admirers.

This devotion is also fueled by Musk himself, who invests in positive PR (just look at any submission from Elektrek on this forum) and pretends to be a nerdy everyman on Twitter to appear to be "relatable".

Perhaps to his admirers, it seems like he's"just trying to help" when he proposes submarines for the Thai cave rescue. To outside observers, it looks like a cynical attempt to capitalize on the publicity around the rescue efforts for free. It's gauche when a normal person does it, and becomes in extremely poor taste when a billionaire with real resources does it.

Comments of the "He's trying to save the world, can't you see?" variety mix freely with the "this is a conspiracy against Tesla by big auto/big oil" comments that pop up anytime bad news is reported.

At the end of the day, neither Elon nor Tesla are hurting because of online comments.

The ability to plan for the "not great years" and to succeed or fail in that plan is totally orthogonal.

Big businesses have failed to do so, and small family shops have survived for centuries...

So, taking a bit hit, or even dying, on some "not great years", is not a criterion for business vs hobby at all.

I might be wrong, but I think I've seen the term "theory of mind" used in the scientific context. For example, Kurzweil's "Pattern Recognition Theory of Mind" and Heylighen's "Anticipation Control Theory of Mind"

Kurzweil: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Create_a_Mind#Pattern_R...

Heylighen: http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/Papers/AnticipationControl.pdf

Though I maybe should mention I generally agree with the use of "soup sandwich" as a description for the article.
> the amount of traffic that would be removed from the roads

seriously, how would that work?

any expansion of road capacity in LA is immediately used up and oversaturated. if you build it they will come. if you free roads up by providing an alternative like Musk's tunnel system, someone else will still come and fill the roads back up, because, "hey, traffic is moving again."

It's an issue because adding a directory to the path just isn't as common of a pattern on Windows. Whether or not it's Microsoft's fault is irrelevant because the fact is still that you have to do it manually a lot of the time.

This is all from my own past experience using video editing, audio editing, and image editing utilities where you usually just get a binary and have to do the legwork yourself.

Node is the exception, not the rule.
I think that's right. At the time, Cebit was a pretty logical outgrowth of the Hannover Fair at a time when IT was just the latest round of industrial technology. Need a combine, need a mainframe, they're all there.

Comdex came more out of the PC revolution and was originally more oriented to PC-related distribution and vendor networks but it suffered similar problems over time.
Yeah, the fall of Comdex went from 200K+ visitors to collapse over the course of a few years.

I think most often these collapses are financial (believe it or not). What typically happens is the conference wants to encourage "free expo passes" to ramp up visitor numbers to crazy high levels. They then use this to market towards exhibitors: "Here is why you need to pay so much for a booth, we have 200K visitors!".

However, having 200K visitors doesn't necessarily lead to more sales for your niche product, therefore the economics of paying $$$ for a booth don't work out. Thus, the expo floors become dominated by a handful of mainstream companies which then results in a negative feedback loop of collapse. (Visitors don't need to attend a show to see what Microsoft, Sony, and LG are up to...the real benefit is finding out what all the small below-the-radar companies are doing)

Well, those few hundred thousands dead every effin' year give a lot of right for this. You are writing this on your computer, so you are among the privileged ones of this world and most probably not in any direct threat by malaria. You for sure have access to proper medicine in case you would get infected. The people worst hit by malaria don't have any of this luxury. You don't have to vouch for them, thats OK, I will do that for you, and so will others.

And of course, as many have mentioned here - this is not about wiping out every single species of mosquitoes on the planet. Just those few that transfer malaria, just in places they invaded recently. It is a good move.

Building Ethically sustainable business model requires A LOT MORE effort and the positive results usually dont come overnight and tend to have long term outlook with focus on individuals/society as a whole. In todays world of "instant gratification" this is not a desired approach to running business.

Most businesses "don't even go there" - hence we are surrounded by the world we live in.
Of course there are people who need libraries and I support funding them even if they're mostly empty. But I think a sizeable fraction of the people who used to go to libraries but don't do so anymore are like me and just buy the books they want to read used rather than go to the library.
Do you happen to work for Google/Alphabet or have you in the past? I imagine that the distinction is actually pretty meaningful and important for people who work there, but pretty meaningless to everyone else in the world who doesn't.

From the article, it seems like it's not about "figuring it out", but about noisy places being more fashionable/ profitable.

I have some mildly related personal experience as well. The glider club I belong to started getting noise complaints from people living near the airport. On a busy day, our tow plane might make 25 takeoffs. We often took the same path every time, repeatedly annoying the same people. We started varying our routes and also replaced the propellor with a quieter one and everybody was happy.

- Named capture groups

Probably, yeah. Look up monasteries in your area, there's a good chance there will be one with guest accommodations, and I gather you'd have access to their books, able to attend services if you want, etc. Details vary I'm sure. I've never done it myself but thought about it.

I believe LA had an explosion with fatalities years ago while digging a tunnel. There are also issues with subsidence in the area (sink holes).
These are common explanations to read online, but when you Occam's razor them to another explanation (which I'll share in a second) they build unnecessary narrative around motivation.

For example, depending on the plan, you can't build above 2 stories, or you have to conform to a predefined set of colors for the street facing wall. There are various rules depending on the neighborhood you're in and if there is a historical site in the vicinity, etc.
Nope - I'm not an employee and don't own stock, but I have spent a good deal of time trying to understand how Google makes money, as well as how their company is structured.

I tried to understand Alphabet and Google because I use Google products and care about what they do with the data.

Given an understanding of how they work, I see a lot of misrepresentation of their business model and lack of understanding around it. So I try to help with that.

On HN in general, there is a ridiculous level of mistrust for Google. I think it's good for everyone to be critical, but to be critical, people need to actually think and understand what they are being critical of. Instead, they often skip past all the thinking and go straight to worst-case doomsday scenarios. In this case, that means only reading the clickbait title of an article and assuming Google has some nefarious plot to destroy the ecosystem worldwide.

That type of behavior is dangerous.

People should be critical of Google. There are real issues with advertising revue, how that industry is motivated and incentivized, damage that can be done by the industry and powerful players, etc etc. When people don't think about and engage with the topics they are discussing it causes more harm, because it distracts from real problems. People in this thread are looking at the article's headline and questioning why an advertising company would try to kill mosquitos worldwide, which is a far cry from what the article is actual talking about.

These problems arise in a number of topics, I just happen to see it a lot in Google related articles and say something because I know more about Google than other topics.
"Id like to welcome you to this course on Computer Science. Actually thats a terrible way to start. Computer science is a terrible name for this business. First of all, its not a science. It might be engineering or it might be art. Well actually see that computer so-called science actually has a lot in common with magic. We will see that in this course. So its not a science. Its also not really very much about computers. And its not about computers in the same sense that physics is not really about particle accelerators. And biology is not really about microscopes and petri dishes. And its not about computers in the same sense that geometry is not really about using a surveying instruments."

In my opinion this soultion may be beneficial in the short term but detrimental in the long run. As we do not have 2-year applied medical school or engineering schools (or they are frowned upon), computer science is much more than just writing code for applications, there needs to be rigorous and lengthy studying of algorithms, data structures and their relationships with algos, architecture, advanced math concepts. Imo this is a programming degree not cs.

Agreed. I’m not sure how #metoo is “disobedient” in any way. It’s the popular position of almost the entire media, Hollywood, and liberal leaning people in the USA.

And strong arms too. A smart black smith with weak arms/shoulders/wrists would under-perform one who didn't. And the tools were a) quite simple, b) they wouldn't change every 3 years and would last a generation. The comparison to the software craftsman is quite silly, I agree
I'm pretty sure it's because he lives there. Not only does it make it easy for him to be involved, but it sounds like he really hates LA traffic and really wants to bypass it for his own personal benefit.

Have you asked them? You might be surprised.

Everyone's got problems.
There's a lot of potential life experience out there, not all of it good. And a lot of people go through extraordinary hardships that they didn't choose. A great example of someone who's experienced both the difficulties of running a business and the difficulties of running for your life is Intel chairman Andy Grove:

" He was born András Gróf into a not religious Jewish family in Budapest, Hungary, which was ruled by a military dictator whose government persecuted Jews. That Gróf was not a Jewish surname may have helped his family avoid some of the worst of the persecution. As a small child, Grove had scarlet fever, which not only nearly killed him but also rendered him partly deaf. With the advent of World War II and Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union, Hungary abandoned its official neutrality and joined the Germans. In 1944, when the war went badly for Germany, the Nazis overthrew the Hungarian government, fearing that the Hungarians were about to make peace with the Soviets. The rounding up of Jews for death camps and slave labor soon began. Grove's father was forced to serve in the German army at the Eastern Front, where he endured appalling tortures for the amusement of German soldiers. Grove and his mother hid under false names with a Christian family; almost every day was a close call, as soldiers snatched Jews off the streets and out of their homes. Then the Soviets fought their way into Budapest, bringing with them more persecution (and the rape of Grove's mother).

Grove wanted to be a journalist, but he discovered that journalistic success depended on the whims of political correctness, and he decided to enter a field where subjectivity would not affect judgments about his work; he chose to study chemistry. In 1956 Hungarians tried to replace their Communist government with a democracy, and the Soviet Union in vaded their nation. There was fighting in Budapest's streets as young people tried to repel soldiers and tanks with small weapons and bottles filled with gasoline. Soviet troops began snatching young men and imprisoning, torturing, or killing them. Grove and his best friend, Janos Lanyi, fled to Austria, dodging Soviet troops, crawling in mud, afraid all the way. He had lived 20 years under murderous oppression, surviving by always remaining alert to the possibility that even a simple attempt to purchase a loaf of bread could cause him to disappear along with many other young Hungarians."

Absolutely. The rare times I had to have a regex that wasn't obvious, it was great to be able to break it down with comments.
Oddly enough, currently the opposite is true. All the construction blocks being put up sometimes in the name of environmental assessment are pushing people out of dense areas and into sprawling suburbs, with people taking on huge commutes to get to work.

Where is the environmental assessment on NIMBY-ism I wonder? :/
