Great advice from people here but I'm gonna try to provide as much value as I can on top of that. Read books, listen to others, get a mentor, blablabla. Do that for sure because it is the bare minimum. Unfortunately, this is not enough. Here is how an individual gets into management and becomes a great engineering manager (the "great" part is essential):

1- The individual would grab the most annoying task no one else wants to work on and would close it while staying positive

2- The individual is often used as the go-to person when a decision has to be made, or critical information is missing in a project

3- The individual has a great relationship with most of the people around (known as a friendly and respectful person)

4- The individual is wiling to help others behind the scene and doesn't look for any gratification other than making sure people learned something while being helped

5- The individual has made multiple decisions that appear to be great decision after all (probably the most important point).

If you fall into all this categories, you'll be just fine. It is a constant learning process as opposed to being an engineer. Why? because the process changes constantly, there's actually no process at all. If you learn a pattern, a language or a framework once, you can re-apply the same process for the new upcoming stuff. As a manager, every day is a new day. If you're a shark who produces a lot of output and burns a lot of relationships along the way, chances are, you'll most likely get promoted, but you'll fall into the large pool of bad managers. There are more bad managers than good managers out there. If you don't have the 5 qualities mentioned above, work on that prior to switching to management. That's my best advice.

The joy is, the guys with sponsored videos likely got $100s ($1000s?) of dollars to do their shill review. The guy doing the good review maybe made 10 cents off the views of his video.

Any time the financial incentives of a system encourage negative behavior, it is at least a hint that more regulation is needed.

In other media forms, the guy giving the shill would need to say up front "I was paid for this review". On youtube and instagram, I don't think this is the case.
I think he is referring to these sorts of videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5aPc2wlLiA which are "slice of life" videos taken to their extreme. For an example, here is a slice of life one that isn't so extreme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhkE3e7lT_g
Money is speech, but financial transactions are the primary communications which actually affect the world, and the only kind which governments have gone completely insane to try to restrict at any scale historically, as well as the only kind which were particularly challenging to accomplish with non cryptographic means, but at a distance, in 1988-1992 (and on to today.). All other communications can be a subset of financial transactions.

Why can’t you take all the leftover biomass after a harvest and sequester it? Then it wouldn’t “simply relaase it”. I’d image we only take a small part of the mass for food.
It's a feature for a very small number of people with a quasi-religious aversion to government-backed money. It's also a feature for criminals. But both historically and currently, the great majority of people seem to quite like currencies backed by well-run governments.

I'm not sure if it's the same as what OP was referring to, but there are videos of an attractive Vietnamese woman and her children doing random things (e.g. playing with toys) on the floor, with the woman being in an otherwise decent dress, but then revealing bits of her body seemingly by mistake throughout the video. That is masked as "the life of a Vietnamese family" and gets +1M views, but is clearly just softcore nudity.

Storing environmentally friendly generated electricity in reactive chemicals would solve lots of problems (storage; reuse of existing energy industry infrastructure; energy-dense fuel for cars, trucks, and planes; lowering CO2; etc.) However, ammonia is quite corrosive.

Because the steel pipes transporting natural gas throughout the US are under pressure, they are subject to a peculiar form of degradation, stress corrosion. Normally, steel can rust or corrode when exposed outdoors. Simple coatings of paint, tars, polymers, etc. can protect steel, and natural gas transport pipes are coated on the outside to protect them from moisture, air, and the natural PH variations found in different environments. These pipelines and their coatings are examined periodically to prevent catastrophic failures. The pipes are perhaps one-half to two meters in diameter and have a wall thickness of one to three centimeters if I recall.

Stress corrosion is not like normal rust on the surface of steel. It happens inside the steel, along the inter-granular crystalline boundaries within the steel itself. Somehow, the stress inside the steel produces higher rates of corrosion (there is a large literature on this subject, google "stress corrosion"). This type of corrosion can be dangerous because pipes can burst without visible warning of their condition. Detection of stress corrosion requires inspection systems that are much slower (ultrasound, electromagnetic induction measurements, etc.) and less practical than simply looking for corrosion on the outside of the pipes.

Unfortunately, ammonia is corrosive to steel and the insides of existing pipelines and the valves and other fittings would not be prepared to handle ammonia. So ammonia wouldn't be able to utilize the existing natural gas pipeline infrastructure.

Probably but it can be a stark contrast when it comes to personal experiences. I remember years ago a backpacker friend from Taiwan sending me a flood of messages about needing to leave Indonesia ASAP because she couldn't personally deal with the number of attempted scams and required briberies she had to suffer through.

[edit] In the article cited in NPR, https://www.thelancet.com/action/showPdf?pii=S0140-6736%2818... , which makes the claim "zero consumption minimises risk", you can see that ischemic heart disease & diabetes risks actually go down for 1 glass a day, while cancer & tuberculosis go slightly up. Their own chart of "relative weighted risk from all attributable causes" is flat-line for the first 1 glass/day. And that's from the paper that's cited to say "no level of alcohol consumption is safe!"

You may be correct, this was speculation based on imagination on my part - I do not know if unexpressed genes were removed in this experiment, I only have a suspicion they may have been part of the "inefficient" original sequence that was replaced.
I think it's fascinating, in a dark way, how this site has just stripped the most valuable part from modern AAA games and simply done away with the video game facade.

The brand name Grundig evokes images of TVs and radios (sometimes wood paneled) from the 80s that were still around in the 90s (of decent quality, but gradually getting replaced by black plastic stuff from e.g. sony) to me.

The device pictured in the article certainly does not invalidate that memory :)
This is no different from any content based advertising - product placement in TV shows and movies, magazine articles, blogs, morning talk shows, and even traditional books have employed the same strategy. In fact I would say some of these other forms are more insidious. PR firms essentially do the same thing for news shows and publications too.
Yes... That also caught my eye... I guess it is helpful to have a sensible implementation-neutral standard to prevent implementations from drifting too much. This could be something like the C updates that fix undefined behavior.

You may reject the idea, but I don't see how it can be anything _other_ than what you describe as "financial anarchy".

You either trust national governments and their KYC and AML laws, or you trust the crypto network and _its_ governance. That is the whole point, as stated by Satoshi.

If your crypto complies with some least- or greatest-common-denominator of government laws (as they apply to their national currencies), then what is the point?

It took over a decade to hit 1.0. But it's simple enough there's never been a whole lot that needs changed. Whole thing is around 3000 lines of code. There was a memory leak that took over 20 years to find and fix though.

Noticed the same thing, my wife has a few personalities she follows on YouTube and looks forward to skincare product launches and other things being announced. Coincidentally, one of them pushed out their own mystery makeup box and it was a race to purchase one before they "sold out." I see this as just one big marketing ploy to make a bunch of money by selling cheaply made products at high prices because of an image and really pretty branding.

I don't get it, but she enjoys it. As much as I hate to admit, I'm sure I've been sucked into some tech or office product in a similar fashion.
>On the same day, Netflix pulled an episode of “Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj” for the following joke about the killing of Saudi Arabian writer Jamal Khashoggi

From my understanding, they only pulled it from the library specific to Saudi Arabia. As well, they left it on youtube, where the entire first season is streaming for free. That seems either to be left out of the article, or to have changed recently.

Other than that, this doesn't seem particularly new. Just easier to hear about. People have always attempted to censor folk.
Been an EM for a few years. A few quick tips since a lot of people have covered stuff:

* D E L E G A T E => Your job is to keep your people productive and effective. Doing that starts with yourself - do the things only YOU can do and delegate the rest to the people who are better served to handle that.

* Check out the Manager Tools podcast and focus on the basics (https://www.manager-tools.com/manager-tools-basics)

* The 2 books I got solid, actionable advice from were "The First 90 Days" [1] and "The 27 Challenges Managers Face" [2]

> Meeting riots with escalation sounds good on the night

You are assuming meeting riots in any way is escalating them. The riots escalated precisely because they were not met with a response.

(as a side note, although I'm not disputing anything specific in the link, The Guardian is not an objective source for riot related information - The Guardian was found to have misled the public and forced to apologise by the PCC for the misleading 'Unarmed' Duggan headline)
Ask HN: Which dead projects or startups do you wish were resurrected?
Lots of projects and startups die because they weren't sustainable, often because they were just too early.

In places where such laws exist, sure. If you want all bicyclists to go through that, go pass a law in your municipality.

Otherwise you are not the authority on this. International law codifies cyclists' right to the road. Most large American municipalities and states explicitly state in their municipal codes that bikes have the same rights and responsibilities as other vehicles. The US federal government doesn't state that outright, but implicitly treats bikes as equal to other vehicles as well.

It's popular among children who like the high energy, intense emotions, and jump cuts. They also mix in base humor while heavily cross promoting among themselves. So their viewers feel like they're part of team or a movement or whatever.
I've been working on a similar transition starting six months ago, in a very large organization (240k employees). There's an endless amount of reading you could do, podcasts to listen to, etc. I'll be short and sweet and focus on a single point that has worked well for me so far.

Focus first and foremost on helping coach and improve the performance/productivity of the people on your team, each and every day.

If you're a good engineer/employee in general, this will be very hard for you. Mostly because, it will make you feel much less productive and as if you aren't contributing. You won't be able to commit as much code, perform as many code reviews, etc. You will at times worry that you are falling behind, or at times even as if your team members are outperforming you.

Don't worry about your personal productivity, just worry about the improved productivity of those on your team. No one will ever fault you as a manager if you are known for consistently making the people below you better, regardless of where they currently sit with respect to position, skillset, etc. And an improve team will lead to an improved product, even if you aren't the one committing the most code or new features to that product.
for which crop? most of the leftover biomass is used in typical crops.

For corn, the stalks are used as silage. For wheat, the stalks are used to make straw.
There's one thing I've wondered about beef and greenhouse gases. People say that cows produce co2. They also say that an increase in the human population does not produce co2.

It seems that either one claim is wrong, OR cows are somehow different from humans in their effect on the carbon cycle.

One notable difference is that cows produce more methane than we do. This has the effect of increasing short term warming as methane has a much more powerful warming effect over 100 years.

But other than that, when cow emissions are cited, are people simply adding up the co2 cows breathe? If so, why is this invalid for humans? Or if it is valid for humans, then how are cow emissions determined?

I could see land use change being one reason, but that would seem to apply to humans too. Can anyone clarify this? It would seem that either both humans and cows are net co2 contributors, or neither are. (Apart from methane)
I thought I had as well. But then you're talking about reengineering whole forests.
So far, it seems that the data dumped is purely "personal effects." E.g. pictures of children, phone numbers, private chats with family.

Democracy and public policy do NOT benefit from this kind of "transparency." This is the "ad hominem" of hacks: vacuous, mean-spirited and — hopefully — entirely ineffectual.
That's a regulatory reality in the vast majority of "developed countries", Germany has similar regulations in place where any public assembly can be deemed illegal if it wasn't properly registered, afaik even in the US it ain't as simple as some people often make it out to be [0].

I spoke with a guy at a leather shop in Florence. He said all he had to do was give a few leather jackets to instragam or social media models. They would share his name, keep the nice leather products, and he said he could get 100s of orders.

The models didn’t even ask for payment. I can’t imagine what the Instagram models and YouTube superstars demand.

Currently, it feels like there is some point in front of the camera around which the camera rotates (mouse1). The mode I am missing is more like a first-person mode. The rotation point should be at (or slightly behind) the camera position.

In addition, increasing the step size of 'W-A-S-D' plus a 'sprint/boost' modifier (shift) would make navigating around a bit more fun.

Another idea would be to allow some kind of fluid movement and give the camera some momentum, but that is probably not possible with the current renderer as it seems to refresh the whole scene as soon as the position changes. Nevertheless, in such a scenario the mouse-wheel could be used to set the movement speed.

Just suggestions, take what you like ;-)
Microsoft Wakeup: You Have a Killer Static Site Generator!
https://github.com/dotnet/docfx/commit/67d7dfbc3f45e16f5946681e1a266b70b3410a1a

Hello,
The largest, glaring hole in Microsoft's offerings is a static site generator. None of its tools support Markdown out of the box (Word, OneNote, Sharepoint, etc.). DocFX IS A STATIC SITE GENERATOR on par (sort of) with things like Jekyll, GitBook, GitHub Pages, etc. Please consider pivoting DocFX from "an API doc generator from source code" to a more generally usable "Static Site Generator". Thousands of people will flock to those keywords and begin using this awesome, VERY UNDERUTILIZED tool.
Thank you
Full stack devs not taking the front end seriously is definitely a thing. It's like the icing on the coding cake, and they tend to get frustrated when they find out it is a very hard thing to do, mostly because CSS is very unintuitive. You can get 80% of the way there with an afternoon of training, and then the remaining 20% takes like 5 years of experience and IE will still f you up from time to time.

But this completely jumps the shark when equating negligence of the front end to gender bias. Basically the author is pissed and vindictive, but gets to keep thinking of themselves as the good person, because the objects of wrath aren't just CS majors who know how to tree sort and don't care if the button looks flat or 3D, but are morally evil people who are the source of oppression in the world.

I have to take CSS seriously or I'm a woman-hating racist? Look man, I just like computers and building things.
