You are definitely right. But remember that 3D modeling circuitry have evolved a long time ago, because it arises from non-visual senses. This means localization of auditory events in space. So say these “beams” are already coming out of peoples —- no, not even people’s, apes — ears to listen for something, like a noise in the jungle. Then when these apes develop something key to detect the human voice, like the superior temporal sulcus, suddenly all our interest is in what sounds come out of other psople’s mouths, so our ear beams go to their mouths instead of, say, looking all around the hanitat, the room, the jungle, whatever it is, for something dangerous that will eat it. I think it’s plausible.

"Less pay" generally entails something that's still reasonably lucrative. One could potentially make 20% more at one or two FAANG companies. Frankly, the big difference is in the RSUs. It's not unusual to see $100k/yr RSUs going to a senior engineer at one of them whereas at a startup, the equity is most likely worth nothing.

Basically, startups are a terrible place to work. I wouldn't recommend them to anybody. However, there are some folks, myself included, that love them.

Tech or IT or whatever you call it tends to happen at a glacial pace in structured organizations. Most IT projects fail. Most folks don't care. They want to come to work, do their thing, potentially excel at their thing, go home at the end of the day, and enjoy their life. At a startup, someone that's eager to contribute can really make a difference. One inspired idea has the potential to really move the needle when it comes to the success of the business.

From taking a look at the author’s title on the site, the person who wrote this, Mihir Desai, is an economics professor at Harvard University.

I wonder if he has any updated thoughts on this subject matter. Does anyone know of any more recent links to articles or writings he’s made?
> I especially hate it when people shove #!/bin/bash as a shebang

It really ought to be `#!/usr/bin/env bash` , if you're writing a bash script. That'll solve the location problem.

Otherwise, if it's a bash script, you can't get around needing bash on your system (although a great many bash scripts are actually "sh" shell scripts that just happen to specify bash because people are used to that sort of thing).
Doodle for Google
But beware and read the pricing sheet --- GitHub created a dumbed-down repo type for these new free private repos.
They have zero scruples. This is a company infamous for spamming people.
Yea, IDK. I’ll watch for it again, but in the meantime; it’s very nice to have the CEO of gitlab ask me about my silly large file problem :) If I ever consider leaving Gitlab I’ll weight this exchange against that.
All good points.

However, I’d take issue with federalism being more developed in the US than Canada. In my experience, the federal gov’t wields much more power in Canada than the US.

However, your point stands that nothing is stopping the states from creating their own system. In fact, a few like CA and VT have proposed such arrangements, but they always fell through once the cost was apparent.

I don't see the repo actually saying they're collecting this data, i.e. sending it back to their servers. It may just be a "reverse adblocker" - a list of signatures of extensions that the website's JS will try to interfere with on the user end.
When a president tells the governor of the central bank not to raise interest rates despite the bank board's best professional judgement, is that considered an attack?
Not true, because people actually hate insurance companies. The best propaganda is by the hospitals because no one ever seems to complain much about them.

There's been a lot of revealing reporting over the past decade but people don't seem to care: the price of a procedure in two different hospitals in the same city can vary by 10x because they literally pull prices they charge from their asses. They tend to justify this by saying "no one ever pays that price".

But when I got a bill for my wife's surgery that included 15k for 1 hour in a recovery room, another 25k for 1 hour in a surgery room, and 9k for an overnight stay (on top of the 20k from the surgeon, 3k from the anesthesiologist, and 3-5k from random doctors we saw for a few seconds) those words sure as shit were not reassuring.

All my past attempts to get an idea of what something might cost me, even when I knew insurance wouldn't cover it, have failed. It takes days worth of time on the phone only to get the wrong answer. One even told me that I only get the cash price if I don't have insurance even if my insurance won't cover it - and I must have insurance because its illegal to not have insurance so I can't get the cash price. What the fuck man?

Hospitals can fuck off. I have no idea why they don't get more blame in this mess.
Installing stacks like Rust, Erlang/Elixir, Go and maybe OCaml is so fast these days that you likely will not have halved your coffee by the time it's done.

Is this issue unique to Chrome? Does it happen with Firefox?
I always discount someone in a discussion, as you might w/ that engineering lead, when they point to the worst examples as the norm. Especially when they trivialize real efforts with things like "just tacking on X and using Y". There are arguments for methodical, and there are some methodical approaches happening outside the car industry, but to pretend that methodical is the same as opaque is folly. I think a more appropriate answer by that lead as to why it "seems" that way is due to the guardedness of the industry. Whether that manifests as safety or stagnation is a different discussion compared to what it appears like.

Until it's done correctly by any side, nobody is "right" and the way it seems or not is a PR thing. At the very least, one defending the traditional car manufacturers' approaches would at least concede the impetus might never had arisen, or not for a long time, with their closeted and often-unrealized research methods. Especially if it's counter to the traditional income funnel.
GitLab's free private repos have the same feature set as their public ones. Not so with GitHub's, and this blog post hides that fact.

Whatever you decide, please make sure that it's for the benefit of the human race and not for personal or your investor.

You have the luxury to decide what you wanna do. Not so many can do that. If I wanna stop working on this shitty profit squeezing airline software, the police will force me out of my roof and I will have to forage leftover food.

Ofc, I'm not telling you not to enjoy living. Everyone has the right to do so. But you can do that without stepping over other people.

I’ve been using Github for notes recently after trying some other alternatives from your AskHN question, and GH has been good so far, particularly for easily writing notes in markdown, and grouping notes in subfolders within repos.

My main criticism is that it’s not convenient to use Github on mobile and there’s no official app. I just request desktop site in mobile Safari, but the UX is a struggle when creating and editing files.
I do have the same localStorage item in my Firefox. The shown way of decoding the content works too.
But they're not. They created a new, feature-reduced repo type to make free/private. The marketing hides this, and you need to dig to the "Comparison" section to see it:

I agree. As a former reader of the NYT, it infuriates me how they are portraying different groups in America and playing off the identity game. If the citizens of this country primarily identify as American then the NYT would have nothing to write about /s

> first class support for COM and UWP

When I search “Delphi DirectX”, I only find some Russian website last updated in 2009 and offering Direct3D 10.1 bindings. The newest one is 12, the oldest supported is 11.2.

When I search “Delphi Media Foundation” it’s better, finds bindings updated 4 years ago.

These COM-based technologies are among reasons why I sometimes still pick C++ even for new projects.

Also, in both cases just bindings are not enough, the frameworks are complex, need code samples, stackoverflow community, sometimes books, etc. There’re tons of resources on using these from C++, many from C#, very few for the rest of the languages.

> JavaScript has first class support on UWP

Win32 GDI also has first class support on Win10, just because it’s supported doesn’t mean it will go anywhere. I have doubts MS will continue with that support, they haven’t achieved much and need to do something else, e.g. include CEF in the OS.

> Hardly any different from VBScript.

The difference is that VBScript _is_ COM. All VBScript variables are VARIANT, all strings are VARIANT of VT_BSTR type, and all objects are IDispatch. The interop is not required, COM is already native to the runtime. I can write a COM server in a page long text file with *.wsc extension and VBScript inside, register it with regsvr32.exe, and consume from any language, e.g. `#import "progid:..."` in VC++. I’m not sure you can do same in Python.
I'm in cell biology, and many of the programs used in research these days are run from the command line and are open source and freely available. I don't even have a desktop powerful enough to work with genomic sequencing data, I need to ssh to a supercomputer. There's a lot of documentation so it's really not hard to go from understanding Unix command line syntax to writing short scripts then full on python or Perl with biological examples every step of the way. There are also a lot of very powerful web tools, such as the ucsc genome browser, which are freely available to anyone.

Commercial gui-based software is usually sold along with proprietary equipment like a microscope or something, and universally loathed even by people who managed to wrap their heads around it. It's much easier to work with different software from different people or groups if it's all the same syntax, rather than relearning clunky proprietary gui after clunky proprietary gui.
Thank you for your concerns, but I'm pretty sure I can see for real, I'm not imagining anything.
How to secure and manage secrets using Google Cloud KMS
I think it looks pretty cool! It probably competes more with Phabricator then GitHub and GitLab.

Though I think its also different from GitHub and GitLab in the sense that its fully open source and can be hosted on your own server. Sure GitHub has a paid proprietary product which you can host yourself but that's not the same. Also GitLab is open core and a lot of stuff is not in the open core like; managing of epic's, multiple workboards, issue weight, etc. I can also never create such functionality and send it upstream (forcing me to maintain a fork) which reduces its OSS value.

>Also... for an alternative viewpoint on Mental Illness, you might wish to read "The Myth Of Mental Illness" by Dr. Thomas Szasz, M.D.

I might check that book out because it sounds interesting, but the Wikipedia article makes him sound like an idiot.

More specifically, this strikes me as absolutely stupid:

"instead of treating cases of ethical or legal deviation as occasions when a person should be taught personal responsibility"

The brain operates through electrical signals and chemical reactions. I'm not an expert, but I think I recall hearing that certain mental illnesses show signs of different activity when we view brain activity. Different parts of the brain can also be shaped/sized slightly differently with disastrous results. Illnesses or even lifelong habits can cause physical changes in the size of different parts of the brain.

Furthermore, as a person with a mental illness, in some ways it seems like its partly a way to categorize people with different personality traits, ways of processing information, etc.

I think there's more to it than assuming that everyone that ever does anything wrong just has a discipline problem. I haven't read the book so I have to withhold judgement, but I'm guessing he's going to turn out to be a quack.
If that's the case, why did they pay billions for Cruise and Argo?
Great product. It should have happened last week, then we truly could have said that all Enterprise Apache Open Software products died of the AWS plague in 2018: Hadoop is gone with Cloudera/Hortonworks merging, Kafka with Confluent's new license covering their ecosystem of tooling. Databricks now have their own Spark runtime, which will get more TLC than Apache Spark. On top of Apache, Mongo, Neo4J, Redis Labs abandoning open-source. Wow, just wow.
Many new chipsets (Aquantia comes to mind) are indeed multispeed (10-5-2.5-1-.1) but I am not sure whether it is capable of such intelligent speed settings.
On the causal bit:

So, you'd probably be better off skimming the paper for the details, but the gist is that they estimate the effect of unemployment on skills requirements in a few ways, and the results all come out about the same. They use state-to-state variation to take out some of the bigger macroeconomic factors. They use the return of a huge number of troops when we pull out of Afghanistan for another change that is mostly uncorrelated with economic conditions and do some other clever stats to make that assumption more solid. (I briefly skimmed it hours ago when I made the parent comment, so I might be a bit off now, but that's the gist of what stood out to me).

Showing causality is generally about finding apples-to-apples comparisons and finding sources of randomness causally upstream of what you want to measure the effect of, to get a kind of mini-experiment. They do this. It's not proof, but it's some decent evidence.

------------

On your question about percent vs absolute:

Your idea is totally plausible and doesn't contradict the study, as far as my skimming goes. There's no answer to to "why" just a decent argument if I suddenly made unemployment higher, more of the job postings you see would have higher skill requirements. My pet theory on "why" is that filtering out the noise gets really hard when tons of people start applying, so they up the bar.
The "pimpl idiom"[0] is about insulation, not optimization. What it affords is ensuring collaborators have no knowledge of a type's implementation details (data as well as private methods), which also has the byproduct of allowing for faster compilation times.

You can bet this is the kind of argument the car industry is making all over though. "They're doing it quick but we're doing it right".

The reality is that Silicon Valley is very very good at moving fast and building very high tech solutions very quickly. The car industry isn't exactly known for being fast movers and they were very slow to get on this bandwagon.

I'm sure Silicon Valley has a few things to learn from the incumbent car industry too but let's face it - the car industry is mostly just desperate not to have their lunch eaten at this point.
Interesting, my model of a pathogen (mostly shaped by my biology teacher), was one of a symbiont not completely adapted to the host body (yet). This was decades ago, but when I later read up on the microbiome, the image of an alien infestation did not really cross my mind. What caused me more concern was the (halfway) realization that this symbiosis goes as far a actually forming the human body.
Can you link to where they say that? I would figure someone doing something so helpful for users would at least document it. There's no reason to be surreptitious when doing such a favor.

Offline classes too! As a former TA, I can attest to sometimes being a struggle to deal with grading when students from past semesters have their code publicly available online. (The solution we used was to change the specifications for projects slightly so that old code wouldn't produce the correct results; generally students who would rather cheat than learn are too lazy to actually modify the code they're plagiarizing, and we usually caught at least one or two each semester)
