This is one of my favorite kickback demonstrations. Since watching this, I have made sure to keep my push block/stick close to the blade & applying pressure toward the fence, instead of closer to the fence & applying pressure toward the blade.

The $150 billion sitting in bezos bank account does very little for everyone. If it was distributed among the population of America, most of it would be spent very quickly and there would be huge benefits for everyone. Preventing hoarding would do a lot of good for society.
I was always real careful while cutting, then one day stuck my hand into the blade reaching over to clear out some scrap after a cut.

Luckily I was wearing super thick work gloves in the cold of winter, but it still wrenched my thumb so hard as it threw my hand back it was swollen and blue for weeks. (And ripper the glove all the way through).

Lesson learned: Be super careful whenever that blade is spinning, not just while making the actual cut.
I try to follow the zipper rule when getting on the freeway. The problem I run into quite often in CA (and the thing that frustrates me the most in urban driving) is when people behind me on a highway on-ramp cut across the solid white line to "get ahead". That then forces me to have to slow down while they pass so I don't ram them from the side. If you factor in other through-way cars already in the lane, this can really congest merging and you get major backups in the rightmost lane.

A similar event comes to mind when you come across someone sitting in the left lane going under the speed limit but completely unaware or bother for the people passing them.

So I guess my point is, while these are great in theory, they don't really work in practice without buy in from the herd (I use herd as this problem can be framed in a similar light as vaccinations and herd immunity).

Tangentially related: if you have the chance to go see Peter Jackson’s They Shall Not Grow Old then do so. What he managed to do with that old footage is simply incredible. I was left in absolute awe at how he and his team were able to bring that black and white footage to life...not to mention the gravity of the subject matter.
Absolutely -- don't stand directly behind the piece when ripping, and use a featherboard in addition to push sticks.

I cancelled my Netflix subscription because of the auto-playing previews. I'm surprised people put up with them, let alone that they increase engagement. Half the time the previews are auto-generated. They have a few clips of the show along with some generic music. One of the tracks was reused so often that I started to think of it as the Netflix theme.
>So During Ballmer's tenure, they always made a ton more money than Google.

As expected, since Microsoft is an older and much more established company.

>Ballmer was somewhat aggressive in character, so was Gates by the way - they build a world class company that changed the world.

Nobody is denying that.

I’d rather Slack just stop using electron and write a real native app; they can certainly afford it. Meanwhile, Slack remains an incredible resource hog.

Maybe the smart car was too small, but “Small” cars (by American standards, anyway) are still popular. They’re just disguised as SUVs and classified as “subcompact crossovers”. With how wide American roads tend to be, the Smart car is perhaps unnecessarily small for America.

Show HN: Chrome Ext to Find Owner Information on Any Property in the Country
Maybe this article should start with "defined as people born between 1980 and 2000 in western countries". I think a deeper discussion would be why are millennials burned out while same generation in other regions do not have any expectation of improvement.
Yes it is. But liquidity in terms of trading volume, not in terms of money the company has in the bank. Liquidity in terms of how many shares are traded each day. If you have shares in a private company, and you want to sell them, you’re going to have to arrange a private transaction, and rely on somebody elses valuation. Going public is one way of addressing that problem.
"Capitalists" here seems to be defined as "people who are doing well economically". I would guess the vast majority of people who read HN fall into that category.

Burnt out because reality is real. Socialism is not going to help you.
Young people have exalted notions, because they have not been humbled by life or learned its necessary limitations; moreover, their hopeful disposition makes them think themselves equal to great things - and that means having exalted notions. They would always rather do noble deeds than useful ones: Their lives are regulated more by moral feeling than by reasoning - all their mistakes are in the direction of doing things excessively and vehemently. They overdo everything - they love too much, hate too much, and the same with everything else.

The people who designed their systems such that they could be easily transitioned off of IBM have done so long ago. Those systems now run exponentially cheaper and have access to more resources.

Vendor lock-in was just as much of a problem then as now.
Everyone says that language shapes your thinking, but there isn't a single fundamental discovery in physics that even had words for it beforehand. Thought is far enough ahead of language for it to be hard for language to have any influence on it, unless you're talking about these studies which aren't really thought.
There was a time when everyone who wants electricity needed to have a generator in their backyard , until the electric grid came on. This is the state of computing today. In future computing is not going to be the differentiator and only very arrogant and stupid people will build their own data centers. The differentiator is going to be the core business model like it should be and to very small extent will computing be a part of it.
I see this come up a lot for various things in the Rust ecosystem. I think that moving more things into the standard library would actually be a net loss, mainly due to the versioning being tied to that of Rust itself. Once something is moved to the standard library, there can never be any breaking changes unless Rust 2.0 becomes a thing (which currently the core team says is not going to happen). It also makes the burden of doing bugfix releases much higher; for smaller bugs, users will have to wait until the next release of Rust itself, and for larger bugs, the entire language will have to do another release ahead of schedule. Given how easy Cargo makes it to add a dependency and how few projects can't actually use Cargo, I think it's better for the overwhelming majority of the ecosystem to keep things like this out of the standard library.

the stations where they encouraged people to stand on both sides were so far underground that almost no one chose to walk up. In the case of the Bay Area the “walking” side is often fully utilized and it wouldn’t make sense to stand on both sides.

I didn't use any library. Seemed easy enough to just create a few helpers. I rely on Firebase completely for the data. Since Firebase already keeps a local client cache as well as an offline cache, I didn't see any need to maintain separate state in React -- outside of the HOC components. They subscribe automatically to the data when the component mounts and unsubscribe when the component is destroyed. Any changes, whether from within the app, from the server, or from another instance of the app; have changes synced everywhere for free.

The only local state I have at the app level is state that doesn't get stored in the DB.

Here's the helper HOC I created for it:

https://github.com/brennancheung/wowzrs/blob/master/src/app/...

And an example of it being used as a render prop:

https://github.com/brennancheung/wowzrs/blob/master/src/app/...

And another as an HOC:

https://github.com/brennancheung/wowzrs/blob/master/src/app/...

And here's a mutation:

https://github.com/brennancheung/wowzrs/blob/master/src/app/...

The HOC's make it so you can create just plain stateless functional components and not have to worry about componentDidMount.
Those arguments are kind of weak. I’ve owned a sawstop for several years and never triggered it, nor have I met anyone that has. It’s an event equivalent to losing a finger on a regular saw. Furthermore, Sawstop replaces the brake for free if it wasn’t triggered by wet wood or metal.
And regarding the patent issues, can you really blame them? That’s the entire point of the patent system. Patent expires in a year or so anyway, and then the market will be flooded with knock-offs.
Why would anyone need this much space? I can't even fill a TB between my desktop and backup drive combined, and that includes a lot of game and some movie backups.
Ugh, I am so sick of this grouping of "millenials". Didn't Time Magazine run a story about how Gen X is the "lost generation" like thirty years ago?

Maybe we shouldn't group entire groups of people entirely by the year they were born.

As a semi-socialist myself, I get annoyed when people just look for artificial reasons to crap all over capitalism.
Chrome OS is the ultimate productivity hack and will exceed Mac OS marketshare
Very few? I find myself having to use it a lot (usually targetting HEAD or HEAD~1), and actually it's kind of handy for clearing out any cruft when switching between project branches. The important thing to know is that it only acts on files that are added to git, and will pass over any that are not.

Whorfian effects are generally extremely small. If you speak Russian you might be able to discriminate certain shades of blue around 50 ms faster than if you speak English. Maybe language has some low-level effects, but there is no evidence for anything dramatic.
I tend to agree, although with most things I think it depends on how heavily invested you are. Migrating a handful of mission-critical Lambdas is no biggie, but if you've really bought the bait and implemented your entire web services architecture on AWS API Gateway and Lambda -- for some reason -- you've got a much tougher job untangling yourself. Perhaps it suffices to say it's worth keeping an eye on how much friction you're building for yourself as you go.
Facebook steps forward and seals the deal on their first blockchain acquisition
This was a profoundly weird read.
That might not even be a Whorfian effect. Perhaps the act of learning the word for a color involves spending time looking at the color, as well as practice at identifying it, so you prime your visual system in a way that could happen even without language. I propose that if you gave someone wordless practice with a color (for example by asking them to sort objects) they would see all of the same time improvements.
The Polaris Slingshot is the closest "car" I can think of. They have 3 wheels and are licensed as a motorcycle, so they skirt many of these safety issues. They also cost $28k; more than a lot of cars. Compare that to the Kia Soul that starts at $16,500. I guess you're paying for cool factor on the Polaris.
Managing Complex Change (2016)
Kubernetes is not there answer to everything. What you gain in flexibility you lose in complexity. Too much engineering effort in house. Do you want to sell your wares or spend the resource for K8s engineers?
I love how the illustrations are actually the obvious default interface that everyone should be using to edit nodes in a graph. Click "Delete" while the box is around C and D: done. (Or right clicking and choosing "commit a reversion" or whatever.)
> I've heard of people at big companies who conduct thousands of interviews a year

I don't disagree with the rest of your thesis, but this seems off by an order of magnitude. They would have to conduct 4 interviews every working day to reach even 1000 interviews. Counting the time needed to write feedback for every interview, that person would be a full-time interviewer who occasionally writes software/does product management/project management.

Unless you're speaking of a small group of people who conduct disproportionately more interviews than everyone else (Pareto distribution) - a dozen interviewers could easily rack up 1000 interviews between them.
Yeah, it’s unfortunate that the first two examples, reset --hard, and push -f, are two things you should avoid doing, especially if you’re new to git.
'mitigate' in this case means that some extra carbon gets captured, slowing whatever happens down.

It's unrelated to the specific positives and negatives.
In practice, do the RAM requirements for this software go down with fewer cores/threads?
Yes exactly.

And to further expand this metaphor, I am sure that in another 40 years, there will be significantly more tools that will allow people to more easily develop things.

Such jobs would also be very valuable.
Can you share some paper names or links to architectures that demonstrate the length invariant convolution and attention?
I would say VS Code is pretty good contribution. Since it's open source it can also be seen as a large code example.
People don't like to be in situations where they are stack-ranked according to a skill they are bad at.

Stereotypical jocks lose when you stack-rank them in a random math class, so the second they can drop maths they do. And before that, they might wag it.

Stereotypical nerds lose when you stack-rank them in a random p.e. class, so the second they can drop p.e. they do. And before that, they might wag it.

When you force people in the bottom end of skill distribution into a stack rank system, it does real damage to their self esteem. And this will essentially traumatize them from actually achieving growth in the subject. And that growth is actually important. Stereotypical jocks are much better off for not being afraid of maths. Stereotypical nerds are much better off for not being afraid of exercise.

One solution is pretty simple. Isolate the top, say, 10-20% of performers in each skill, and stack-rank away if you want. They'll have enough self esteem with respect to the skill to be motivated by the open competition. But most of all, just isolate them from the rest.

With the rest, you'll probably have more luck with a growth mindset type philosophy. Do whatever you can to take focus away from absolute performance metrics, and get them to focus on their own growth. And keep them the hell away from that top 10-20%.

Ideally, you follow this principle through all the way through the skill distribution and organize classes into quintiles of ability.

Just remember, if you're going to rank people, then isolate them from people they can't compete with.

It takes a very unusual kid/teenager to come away motivated by the experience of being totally dominated in some area.
You're right. And "covering" is a strong term for the book. It only introduces them, offers a few exercises, and moves on. It's still 200 pages. It's intended to help engineering students (mechanical, civil/structural, nuclear, etc.) discover these wonders and then choose which ones to go deep with based on their needs and interests.
Had you heard about Sergei Brin obsessed about speed of page load on Google and could accurately tell how many seconds passed to a decimal? I'm using Google Music on iOS. It is by far the slowest app on device, sometime literally taking half a minute to perform an action. This was the time I realized billionaire founders must have left the building and Google is not what it used to be. Sure enough, I recently read article that Page and Brin went through divorces of their own, now spending lot of time staying out of the office basically leaving the company on auto-piolot. Pitchai et al may be good managers like Ballmer & Cook but they are far from visionaries. Fortunately AI is rising and search would be the biggest upcoming disruption.

Google support is bad because 99% of Google users are not customers, but the product.

The lack of being rooted in a customer serving business then extends to other areas where you are the actual customer, like Google Apps etc, where support exists but is often sub-par.

Is there a middleground?

Perhaps standardizing on something like Terraform allows you to reduce the risk of going all-in on one vendor.

Similarly with Kubernetes; if you go all in on k8S, do you care where it's hosted or can you maneuver quick enough to the best provider?
what? why? i speak russian and can't imagine why this would be the case.

Coasting is better then regen'ing, pretty sure.

If you regen, you have to slow down, only to have to speed back up again, but at a worse efficiency loss than just coasting.

Facebook users can select exactly which friends they want to share a post with. So the available functionality is the same as email in that way.

I also experienced a room filled with silence that was only haltingly broken by a few sharply pressed keys. However when I enthusiastically asked more questions and acted like I was having fun the interviewer opened up quite a bit more. The interviewer got up from across the table and helped clarify a point they were making on the white board. The conversation eventually got to the point where it felt something like that linked video, but boy did I have to dance for that.

My experience was that the video might show the ideal interview but not the default one. The default was tense silence and "okays" that barely restrained their judgement. The linked video seems to give an entertainingly wrong impression.
The theoretical safety valve of capitalism is that workers can invest in capital and become capitalists. They have the technical know-how. This allows the sort of bloodless revolution that maintains stability.

We have a problem in recent history because "inflation" has been defined as "consumer prices rising for basically no reason", and I'm not sure if there is a well known word for "price of assets rising for no reason", which appears to be happening (the amount of money in the economy is rising, but inflation is low).

This is distorting decision making power (and resources) away from competent people towards people who happen to own assets (who tend not to be young). It should be that assets are diverted to competent people; because incompetence should be punished with bankruptcy.
Crappy customer service is one of the hallmarks of a market dominated by a monopoly.
Donations are a voluntary contribution based on "feeling good", and companies especially big publicly funded companies can rarely donate to "feel good". Its hard to justify to financiers why you should pay for open-source updates, if you can get them for free anyway.

It just highlights why donation is a terrible business model for open-source.

Come up with a better support model and people will pay.
Probably because we can see how easy it would be to bridge the gap.

We also see it getting wider though, so in a little while we might be just as well off as those outside of western countries.
"...the use of robots explains the decline in the share of national income going into workers’ paychecks over the last three decades."

That is such horse sh*t. Share buybacks are much worse of a problem.
I recently was talking about protected left-hand turn patterns and remembered a trip to Arizona in the early 2000s. I remember my parents being initially cautious but quickly thrilled about protected left-hand turns coming after yellow lights and before red lights. It seems like it ought to reduce congestion and accidents.

So I started looking into it, and I found that that isn't even an all-Arizona thing. Municipalities decide their own light patterns. Some places even change the pattern from morning to night coincide with commutes.

I never did figure out if there were any safety or congestion benefits. I'm still shocked that that level of localism doesn't cause chaos.
Lessons in Enterprise GTM: Product, Sales, Pricing and Customer Success
It's only bad project management if you believe every issue from every rando on the Internet should be given equal attention. An open issue tracker is a poor metric for project health.

IOW, it's popular open source, the Github issue tracker is going to have a lot of noise. What would a community member do that the stale bot isn't doing? What open source project comparable to Kubernetes' scope and interest has an open tracker that exemplifies what you seek?
One way of interpreting this simile is to say that as just as one technology has subsumed (become the focal point) another technology, so does a service mesh as a layer on top of a container orchestrator. A fifth layer as described in The Enterprise Path to Service Mesh Architectures --> https://layer5.io/books/the-enterprise-path-to-service-mesh
Standing is denser than walking, so the throughput is greater (at the cost of latency, for those who would walk). I believe the station only encouraged the break in tradition at peak times, when there are significant numbers of people waiting to get on.
irssi works just fine. I wish slack was as little bloated as irc clients.
Government prevents bankruptcy, the normal mechanism that requires institutions to evaluate risk before making a loan. There's plenty of blame and alternatives all around, but I question whether any alternative is viable without fixing this first.
