>* they fail to recognize that you might have to rethink the business logic*

Oh, we often recognize this.

You try telling a paying client that you think their business process is sub-optimal. I'll fetch the popcorn...

There are systems out there essentially replicating the workflow of older systems which replicate the workflow of an even older one, which was designed simply to automate a paper-based process all those years ago. If you are talking to a large business then the chances are that the people you are talking to don't have authority to change the business processes even a little bit.
"people more readily obey a system which purports to heed their input". Sounds like democracy.
This is unrelated, but you cannot live your life (in a happy way) being broke virtually all the time. If you are having major problem because a paycheck is missing, you are broke. Very few escape the trap, even if your salary increases, your expenses do too. Not a way to live.

If another person had suggested to get a loan it would have seem more reasonable. You lose a couple of hundred or maybe tens of dollars but at least you get the rest. However, having a billionaire, labeled as out of touch, and presumably teams of lawyers that do his loan paperwork say that...
Sounds like BS. Even if you almost never use them, brake fluid has a finite life and needs to be replaced every few years. Brake systems are never perfectly hermetically sealed and brake fluid is hygroscopic.
> “I too feel terrible for people being hurt by these comparatively wealthy politicians playing games with their livelihood.”

It’s important to be clear that in this specific case it is literally just one singular wealthy politician inflicting this suffering.

This motivation is real. I never worked harder than in the first 3 years of my bootstrapped business, when finance was precarious.

I didn't face any big financial loss, I had no mortgage, debt or capital requirements in the business. Just my own living expenses.

But I really, really, really didn't want to fail. That would mean moving back in with my parents and getting a job.

It really worked. If I had had enough money that I could have been in modest comfort indefinitely, I don't think I would have gotten off the ground.

I see a lot of people who would like to start a business. And they make some efforts here and there. But they have a decently comfy life, and they don't seem to have that drive that motivates you through the tedium, the tiny initial results, the lag between effort and something tangible. I consider it a virtual guarantee of failure.
Sorry if I'm being obtuse but why would they be using a hash as a key instead of a uuid? I've never heard of any distributed system (or any system) that use hash as a key. Or are you saying there is somekind of auxiliary hash table in use for performance somewhere?
>they had the house and senate in 2008-2010 and chose not to go about abolishing the electoral college

They had absolutely no way to do that. That would require a constitutional amendment.

(There's another way around it where enough states agree to award electoral votes to the winner of the popular vote, but that also requires action by the states).
I have coworkers like that too, guys who've been working for much longer than me (and getting paid more), without savings. We're not working at a minimum wage job, how do they even manage to spend all of that? Do they not plan on retiring one day? You can't possibly work till the day you die
To take the position that people only believe stuff because it is fed to them is incredibly patronizing. Sure, the fundamental dynamic of social media (that immediate and direct feedback about what captures user attention is used to determine what users see) makes things more polarized, but people are polarized to begin with. Conservatives are conservatives because they have a fundamentally different outlook about the world, not because they just happened to fall down a specific click hole on the internet.
Specifically in Westminster systems (like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK) the budget is a supply bill, a bill where the government asks for money.

Supply bills are automatically confidence motions, which means that if they fail to be passed then the government (i.e, the Prime Minister and their Cabinet) is said to have lost the confidence of the House.

If this happens, the Prime Minister loses the right to govern and a new government must be formed. Usually this means an election, but in rare cases the opposition parties can form a coalition that has the confidence of the House. This process is mediated by the Governor General or (in the UK) the Queen.

But in all cases, until a new government is formed and they manage to pass a budget, the old budget remains in effect. There's no scenario in a parliamentary democracy where failing to pass a budget will cause the bureaucracy to shut down.

The issue at hand was licensing. In the Android Runtime, Google is linking to the OpenJDK libraries rather than using it's "reverse engineered" runtime. OpenJDK is GPL with a classpath exception, which Google is utilizing.

The caveat for Google is any changes to the OpenJDK itself has to be upstreamed. But the Android Runtime itself doesn't have to be GPL due to the classpath exception.

In all honesty, this is how they should have done it in the first place.
Oh well I guess it's okay then. US had legal slavery, should we let China go nuts with that one too?
Sometimes I think that interviews steal business time. They don't show what a person can do exactly.
Your qualification shows your test work, trial days. So, you have to show how you are in the job. Because interviews create a stressful environment.
These questions in the article show that you can memorize answers and tell them immediately.
Very soon AI will check our skills and fit us with the most relevant projects for us. I see it's the future.
For example, two startups as https://talent.works and https://periodix.net . Their AI algorithms check a CV of a candidate and match them with open positions. It really works! First one is for searching for full-time jobs. The second project is for remote and freelance workers.
I believe that AI destroys interviews in a wink.
This is how systemic failure happens. If things keep going like this restarting the government won't fix it.

what annoys me is that most of the walk buttons on street corners in LA actually need to be pushed to get the walk signal to come on, and people think they’re cool for not pushing the button now since “they don’t work”. so they end up either standing through two light cycles, or walking on a shortened cycle and making turning cars mad. just push the button!
>The current system doesn't tell you what people are interested in, it tells you what the system made the people pay interest to.

I agree with you 100% here. But this problem can't be fixed. All that's about to happen is Google is going to decide that people will be interested in something Google finds more palatable. I don't know how to fix/escape this problem.
Hm. The problem here is that this sounds like it won't be open/libre/Free, and is likely to have issues with collaboration (on the code).

It sounds like a dual license with AGPL might be what you want?

Just an example, if I work for a year on a free/gratis project using and modifying oni2 - I'll have a disadvantage working in a commercial setting on similar projects - I can't use my own snippets, mixed with oni2 code in my commercial (even if open/free) project...

I think the "shareware" model might work (and eg: giving free licenses for education, non profits etc). But I'm not sure how the "user freedoms" for code can work at the same time as there are restrictions that are unclear.

Maybe the best one could hope for is a source-available license a la tarsnap. But that would pretty much make oni2 a closed (no external collaborators) project.

Maybe that's your intention?
Republican support for Trump has dropped from 97% to like 90% this past month. Sooooo... yeah. I forget the numbers exactly, but its well above 80%.

Note: Republican Senators and House members are trapped. Literally every Republican Senator up for election 2016 to 2018 who said something bad about Trump was voted out.

Lisa Murkowski is the one exception: her next election is in 2022. And she's clearly expecting Trump to be voted out in 2020 (which is why she's willing to go against him so much). She's willing to play the long game.

All the other Republican Senators who didn't like Trump's policies (Jeff Flake, John McCain, etc. etc.) are gone. I guess Mitt Romney (new Utah Senator) is a new instigator, but the anti-Trump Republican movement is basically dead at this point.

Either a Democrat took over the seat, or a harder-leaning Republican took over.

Note that over 30% of the US Population agrees with Trump on the issue and still strongly supports him through this shutdown. If you are a Republican and in the House or Senate, you HAVE to earn the support of that 30%, because no one really will vote for you if you go against this base.
Unfortunately things are converging on the Chinese model. Young people in the US have been so brainwashed against anything really critical of the government that they are literally earnestly requesting political censorship.
Wow.

Relax guy. We can just agree to disagree. No worries.

I just thought that since the Founders' intended congress to act as a check and balance on the president it's pretty much analogous to the boards that act as a check and balance on a given ceo in your average corporate structure. It also seemed reasonable to view Treasury as the finance department.

But seriously, no worries if you see things differently. No biggie man.

You have a nice rest of your day.
The way the algorithm pushes steadily more radical content is really concerning. Try making a completely fresh browser profile and deliberately browsing around right-leaning or "anti-SJW" channels and see how long it takes before YouTube starts pushing videos about white genocide and the impending destruction of western civilization by the muslim hordes (not very long in my experience).

edit:

I just tried this again and not much has changed. Started by viewing Joe Rogan's interview with Elon Musk on a fresh profile. The first suggestion from there is a Jordan Peterson anti-feminist video, from there we get a Jordan Peterson anti-islam video, then "The Suicide of Europe" by PragerU, and from there the floodgates are opened to fear-mongering about "rapefugees". That's less than a dozen clicks on highly related videos to get from Elon Musk smoking weed to videos with an overtly racist agenda, on a profile that's never sought out that kind of content previously.
> They're making a reference to the novel 1984, in which governments routinely recast history such that the current status quo "has always been this way".

Though the reference they're making is so irrelevant to this story that it verges on a non sequitur. This action is more akin to developing a spam filter for your email service than a government totally rewriting history for political reasons.

If you're going to reference a work as well-known as 1984, make sure it's a very apt reference.
It was a voice vote which always gets marked down as 100-0 or 0-100 in the Senate.

Recently mysteriously had all my playlists deleted and lots of tracks I never played had been played and weird playlists added in place of mine. Went and reset all 3rd party access and reinstated my playlists and it hasn't happened again since. I chalked it up to maybe logging in on someone elses mobile device while travelling to play my playlist and then forgetting and then they did it, but maybe it was bad actors over the internet. I'll never know.
Tesla is in an interesting position where they have a lot of apologists for various kinds of problems that no other automaker gets. I don't think their experience is necessarily indicative of how an entranched, reliable automaker's EV experience will shake out.
There needs to be some risk to being a public service employee. They practically cannot get fired. They should not get back-pay for government shutdown time they did not work. So, TSA agents, for example, absolutely should get back-pay (because they worked), but employees who got furloughed should not. And we should make it easier to fire public service employees for cause, and easier to downsize agencies (i.e., lay-off workers). Civil service protections need to be about politics, not so overarching that civil service employment carries zero risk.

Weird. I've been downtown for 3 years now, and I've never seen or heard of anybody getting a jaywalking ticket. I pretty much use the New York style and cross the street when it's clear. I feel like I'm a competent enough adult to see when it's clear to go. However, I do watch the signals and give cars right-of-way when they have it.

What people do here is continue to cross after they lose right-of-way. This means cars have to sit through 3 or 4 lights before they can turn the corner. That's half the traffic problem with downtown Seattle.

Absolutely! Enumerating the neighbors of an element of a list by definition requires bounds checking. It's not more elegant to instead do some extra additions with numbers known to be 0 at compile time.

I'm not trying to blame government workers and I'm definitely not defending the stalemate over the shutdown, but this kind of thing happens all the time in the private world, and people are just expected to deal with it.

Businesses go under all the time and people are laid off. It's unfortunate, but as someone who works for private companies and not the government, I've been unexpectedly laid off before, and understand that this could happen at any time (and no, I'm not really prepared for it either).

So, I feel sorry for the workers as well, but this is one of the risks you have to take to have a government job over a private one, and certainly not the only one.
>[1]The school may or may not purchase it for your student, but you paid for it in your taxes anyways.

Unless your community has explicitly passed bonds earmarked for school district tech purchases, you’re not paying extra taxes for this. The district is making the decision to use existing funds for tech purchases rather than spending that money on something else. If you don’t agree with this allocation of funds, you are more than welcome to attend a school board meeting to voice your opinion.

Short of another convention, the amendment has to start in Congress. So they could have brought it up but chose not to.

The interstate compact, on the other hand, has enough signers that it is at least plausibly going to be successful. Though there will be lots of legal challenges if it ever gets used, it's not clear they're allowed to do such a thing.
Care to clarify your point?
Thanks Hluska! I appreciate the venting option! Very little time to do things around here. My life is research, school work, course TA, chores around the house, and finally my favorite part, 6 - 8 hours of much needed sleep.

I will keep going at it, but these kinds of job interviews are definitely a turn off from the company itself.
> ATCs being less accountable to the .gov for funding them makes them more accountable to customers

That's one potential issue right there – would this arrangement put airlines or airports into a position to squeeze concessions out of ATCs that might reduce safety? At the very least, minimum ATC pay would need to be federally regulated.
> just keep banging out your ideas into products until one catches on

Good list in general. But identifying a market and seeking to serve it is a better recipe.

You still want to get stuff out there and test it rapidly. But having some idea as to whether a product will be useful is a good idea.
We may be talking past each other to some degree. I'm not debating the ideas of sola fidelis vs "faith and works", this goes beyond that, for those are, to some degree, just interpretations of the original doctrine of Christ. I'm not interested in interpretations and I'm positing the idea that unless you act out the doctrine of Christ in your life, you cannot make a valid claim to be religious (in the Christian sense).
Good news! You can get a Tesla Model 3 LR, pretend it is a 100 mile car (by never charging to more than ~40%), and charge to 100 miles in 10 minutes whenever it is depleted!

This is a little tongue in cheek, of course, but my intent is to make the point that rate of charge and capacity are really related with current lithium ion technologies. This relationship is unlikely to change much over the next 10 years.
Assuming drivers have access to plug-in charging, I doubt the large-scale need for 150 mile+ ranges, or even 100.

There will be a market for short-duration exchanges between ICE and short-range electric car owners for long trips.

Or just rentals of long-range vehicles (or trunk-battery-packs) for those with short-range vehicles that meet 99% of their needs.
This is why many are calling out "sick". I saw an estimate of 10% in some cases. It's not quite as effective as a strike, but it can still make a statement at least.

As I've mentioned, I do find Twitter even less "useful" than FB (and possibly even worse for the society at large), but while Dorsey come across as just a clueless, out of touch hipster, Zuckerberg comes across as not quite human automaton that performs experiments on humans. And FB is more valuable company, so that might be why they get picked on more.

But I am still not convinced that FB provides any service that is actually valuable, let alone good for society as a whole. I think it could well be argued that even under press barons et al democracy worked better than it has been lately. But then the cynic in me says that even robber barons had more decency in them than Zuck, Dorsey and their ilk.

Do we even need that cheap identity verification especially as provided by social networks whose incentives are aligned completely orthogonal to societal good? As anecdata, I actually met my wife on a dating site with no benefit of any FB authentication (or credit card, for that matter). What would FB connection do there?

So no, I've never connected anything with any FB account, and I do not see that I am missing anything that I would find the least bit useful. Obviously, HN tends to look for technological solutions for problems (or even in absence of problems) but farming out "trust API" to a commercial entity that aims to maximise engagement seems to be a prime example of a (bad) solution in search of a problem.
> This is wrong.

You're right. I was mistaken, I thought I had read that the Roadster was the only Tesla with a gearbox but that it was eliminated with a free upgrade. There's still a gearbox but it's a fixed single reduction gear.

> You're forgetting the brakes.

I wasn't, I was touching on the differences between an EV and an ICE with regards to maintenance. Brakes are a consumable that are inspected and changed as needed rather than at regular interval like the belts or fluids in an ICE vehicle.

Brakes and brake fluid are part of the multi-point inspection that's done on all vehicles when they're serviced. As you pointed out, EVs use their brakes significantly less than ICE vehicles and so any maintenance of the brake system will be less frequent than an equivalent ICE vehicle.

Overall EVs require significantly less maintenance to their drive/power-train AND to some of their traditional systems (e.g. brakes).
