I recently visited an Apple Store in University Village (Seattle) and I was impressed with how large the space was. I kept walking around the entire store looking for their laptop displays thinking maybe they had removed it.

Alas, I found the MacBooks at the far back corner of the store with no one around it, and they only had one table dedicated to the MacBook with only 1 laptop per model.
Working in a school I block QUIC traffic so my web filter can (attempt to) keep kids off porn. Such filtering is required by law for schools. I haven't found a passive filter that handles QUIC. I don't want to install invasive client software or MITM connections.

The ads are already happening all over HN. Don't you see the jobs posting for YC companies?

Remember that YC is an investment company. They certainly made billions of dollars through the companies they funded, that were in part thanks to HN.

Every time you send a direct job application to a HN company, that's 20% of your yearly salary staying in the company instead of going to recruiter fees. That's the hell of a revenue per click.
If the government is covering the leave and you're not hiring a replacement then why are the remaining workers getting "the same pay" for the extra work?
Not only that, but the 4th commandment (of the 10) was changed to include their experience in Egypt related to "foreigners" and the sabbath.

Exodus 10:11,12 (NASB)

"...but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God; [in it] you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy."

Then notice the change in Deuteronomy, it's specifically to address the experience of being a "foreigner" and being mistreated in Egypt.

Deut 4:14,15

"...but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God; [in it] you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter or your male servant or your female servant or your ox or your donkey or any of your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you, so that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you. You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore the LORD your God commanded you to observe the sabbath day."

It's really sad when people who claim to be "Christian" do not understand that the most foundational teachings of God in the bible include caring for foreigners in a very personal and special way.
I'm in my early forties, and I've been having the same worries you list the whole time.

And the answer (for me, so far) is....it's complicated.

I definitely think I have a harder time processing new ideas. OTOH, I have a lot more context to connect them to, so I feel like I end up with a better understanding when I DO get them. I also have a wider perspective to decide WHAT I want to spend my precious time learning. When I do learn something, I'm less likely to think it's the answer to everything, while I'm still able to get excited and enjoy how much easier this makes many of my tasks.

And it's really hard for me to say how much is REALLY having a harder time grasping new ideas, and how much is a mix of (1) that additional context, which makes it harder/longer before I feel the sense that I truly "get" it (2) the overwhelming sense of how many things I DON'T know that makes it feel like "I'm not learning like I used to".

Docker has been on my list to learn for ~4 years, even though I've used it indirectly for most of that time, for example, but it's not that I haven't been learning new concepts in that time - I've just not been able to find free time where Docker has been on the top of my list. Kubernetes shows up on HN, and I've not done more than googled the general idea. Are these omissions because I don't have the capability to learn as well, or because I've got a very full schedule and mental web of connections to fit them into? No way to be sure - I don't know of any way to quantify them.

I try to make sure that I end each week being able to say I learned something new, and while those bits are often small, they are also often significant in my day-to-day.

Also, don't discount the impacts of physical decay on the psychological. Being unable to sit comfortably for long stretches, the wear and tear of a million tiny aches - they may as much to blame for psychological limitations from age as any direct neurological degradation.
Browett was a catastrophically poor choice. I was impressed that Apple corrected the situation relatively quickly.

I think Ahrendts was a great hire, and while I don’t think Apple Retail is as good as it could be, it’s also a very hard nut to crack at their scale.
> There's the rub, can you (at a population level) have a birth rate at or above replacement if both parents are expected to find employment outside of the home? I don't think that's realistic.

That's far more of a child care issue than a parental leave issue. If both parents take a year of leave each for three children that's not even close to a tenth of their working life.

And we are expecting far too many hours to be worked per household. But there's no reason a reduction in working hours has to imply a stay at home parent. What if both parents worked 3 days a week, or 2 days a week?

Makes me think of DNP, a substance which acts to dissipate the protein gradient in our mitochondria, wasting the energy that the mitochondrion would otherwise use to make ATP. The wasted energy is turned into heat, giving its users an elevated body temperature and characteristic sweating. It'd be the perfect dieting aid were it not so toxic.

There are proteins in the human body having the same effect, performing some minor functions. Maybe he had a mutation making those proteins very prevalent, essentially making his metabolism very wasteful. Although I don't know if such a sustained fever wouldn't be deadly.

Not for nothing, but some of these companies are into the "hundreds of millions and up" level of infrastructure. Migrating that requires less "a customer boycott" and more "an act of god."

> I agree that people are most geared towards seeing that if something has monetary worth than it’s undeniable it has innate worth

I don't think that's true of most people, but I think it is a problem with the general tech and business community mindset.
You and a lot of other people are doing some digging right now
depending on your definition of "own", you might not own a physical book either. you just have a transferable license. you can read it, you can give it to a friend or heir, but you can't make a copy and both read it at the same time.
Because people wants to express themselves. Tweaking and repackaging feels like something for the young nerd or the tech saavy layman. It feels like making an OS and OSes are semi god for the computer crowd.

>Just because there's no database doesn't mean a gun can't be connected to an owner. Manufacturers keep records of which serial numbers go to which distributors. Those distributors keep track of which dealers get which guns. Those dealers are required by law to keep a record of who bought what guns. It's not a database query, but it is a few phone calls. And in California (where this happened), all private sales must go through the DROS system.

Not everyone lives in California, and IIRC it's even legal to buy a gun in, say, Nevada, and bring it into California if it is legal to own there.

Except in most usecases, the tuple is old enough that it was committed long ago and visible to everyone.

It's only a tiny fraction of tuples which are recently committed and visibility rules come into play. That can be a special-cased slow-path
Does it matter what happened before?

Is there _any_ circumstance under which that's appropriate or even justifiable behaviour for a CxO, no matter what had happened in the preceding few moments? If your CxO isn't capable of maintaining professional behaviour in front of arrogant researchers or blackhats boasting in public, I'd suggest it's well past time to be polishing up your resume and moving on...
How is having 0.8 kids/year over 5 years & shirking job responsibilities the spitting image of someone who is raising well-adjusted kids? If the person doesn't care about the company why should the company care about the person -- outside the legal obligations enforced by the government obviously...

Maybe I am too cynical, and having >= 5 kids is the outlier.
People want to work, and do other things that work avails to them, including provide better experiences and lifestyle for the smaller number of children in their household.

Even in the 1960s in the US, when the working class had much more economic security, and it was easier to financially support children than today, the median number of children per family was still < 3.

Weirdly, I was just watching a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYSqscmp_f0) of a lecture by Andrew George (who has a recent translation of Gilgamesh) at the Oriental Institute, where he discusses the difficulties of and approaches to translating Sumerian.

The first Apple Stores were in 2001. Online commerce was already a thing.
I still find that appointment almost hilarious. Dixons who he used to oversee in the UK had an appalling reputation for terrible support and very aggressive sales reps trying to sell useless accessories and extended warranties. I wonder if any Apple exec ever visited one of his old stores?
You generally don't want to (lossy) re-encode released media (be that audio cds, network streams or Blu rays). One think is using a lpsdy codec to make the final "print" - it's another to try and manipulate that version further with lossy transformations.

That said, appears 4k hdr will see some x265 uptake.
It's still a bit weird. Everybody wants to "contribute" but at some point there's so much noise and redundancy .. it's backward.

Note that I do understand we're all so different in context, understanding, drive, needs .. so bazaar will occur whether or not I like it.

I still believe we should have a tiny bit more integrative groups. Just a tad. No need to force people and resist their energy, but a bit of constructive interference.
I haven't visited that subreddit on a long time, so I'm knowing this from you. What a pity. I visited on a similar reason to yours: to know how my own life can be taken suddenly, without notice or warning.

Since I move around exclusively by bicycle, I paid particular attention to the videos where cyclists met their untimely fate. I've learned a lot watching those videos, since it gave me a more clear perspective on how some things, apparently not too extreme, are insanely dangerous traps to a cyclist (riding near a truck with open wheels, for instance, even if at some distance).

Shame it's quarantined...
Honestly, that's a good idea. I should block the XPromoPopup class with a content blocker.
That's amazing, my jaw dropped when the score changed. Neat to see archive.org video linked here, too.

It should have said "MAC address" [0]. Nothing to do with Apple Macintoshes.

I was browsing it using Firefox Focus, it pointed me to two options to use reddit: the app or Chrome (with its logo). I didn't want to open Chrome, so I closed and tried again. Only then I noticed that it was referring to any browser instead of Chrome... Not entirely bad, but a bit annoying.
The fact that Apollo exists and is popular (though, I personally don't think its controls are native enough) means that this isn't really true.
Mostly all about life, not technology, but all the books below have science behind them and many references and studies. I have read every one of these books, some multiple times. These are the books I would make required reading if I gave a class on life, they cover sleep, nutrition, exercise, brain health (depression/happiness), memorization and learning.

* Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain

* Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise

* Eat to Live: The Amazing Nutrient-Rich Program for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss (evidence based, ~1,000 references)

* The Promise of Sleep: A Pioneer in Sleep Medicine Explores the Vital Connection Between Health, Happiness, and a Good Night's Sleep (sleep debt)

* Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life

* Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything

* Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think
Wonder how much the anonymous function in the node handler affected it.

Not sure what `body` not having `var` in front (so it gets put on global) would do either.
There are a lot of people that get really upset when they get reminded that the meat they are eating used to be a living, breathing animal.

I used to be a hunter (I'm now a vegetarian, but I gave up hunting for other reasons long before becoming vego), and a lot of people got really upset about me killing "innocent deer", like somehow a deer is more deserving of life than cattle in a field.

I remember a while ago there was a picture of a 13 year old girl eating the raw heart of the first deer she killed. There was a horde of people who were incredibly upset, people were calling it cruel, calling the girl's father abusive, etc. etc. At the end of the day though, it's a dead animal, no different from the beef you get all nicely plastic wrapped at the supermarket.

It's the same thing with people getting upset about different cultures eating dogs or horses. At the end of the day, they're all animals. There's no fundamental difference between a pig and a dog.

Because my reaction isn't based on Slack - it's based on my experience of nearly everything that goes public shifting to growth at the cost of user contentment. Everything gets loaded with ads, pages start offering me solutions I don't want - the product that I was happy to pay for becomes one I don't want to pay for.

That's likely a degree of hyperbole - I'm sure there are plenty of companies with products I've liked that have gone public and the product has remained great or even improved. But my gut reaction on hearing something go public is not "Yay, now they can improve their features" it's "Oh no, it is going to get screwed up", and that seems NOT to be the reaction I'm supposed to get.
It is actually possible to legally aquire a fully automatic machine gun without serial numbers. IIRC when the machine gun ban of 1986 was passed there was an amnesty period where anyone could register any firearm no questions asked, in hopes of getting everything registered. Some GIs who had stolen army equipment (mainly service rifles) registered that, but because they where scared of being cought they removed the serial numbers beforehand. These firearms are still legally transferable as Machine Guns registered before 1986.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ People are free to do whatever the fuck they want with their time and creative energy.

Here’s to anyone who ever scratched an itch, created something and then gave away the fruits of their labour for free.

I understand banning of subreddits is evil. I think no subreddit should be banned but the press previously were critical of reddit labeling it a jock-boy hangout who group together and attack gay female online users and dox them. They decided to change things their image to please that group. It made it a worse experience for many but stopped the bad press now a year later they are raising at 3b. Would not be possible without the window dressing.

Many users left, most just complain on reddit. Raw usage is not important at this stage for reddit.

That shouldn't make it a good or bad place to work

Facebook's usefulness outweighs users' concerns about privacy, which leads me to conclude that users don't "actually" care about privacy. They might wish that Facebook were different, but that wish hasn't translated into loss of market share for Facebook.
> This is precisely one of the cultural obstacles to correct.

I have to disagree: If a cultural obstacle at all, to me it's rather labeling civilizational accomplishments like ownership or property rights as a "cultural obstacle".

> We value individuality foremost and I believe its among the top reasons parental leave is incomprehensible to many people

While I can't speak for the US, in Germany we have a pretty generous m/p/x-aterinty leave system. But still only a few fathers take advantage of it. Certainly it's not because of culture (it's not the 1950s anymore). It might be just the plain truth that it is deeper ingrained in us.

Another big factor is the high increase of bachelor degrees. 40% of our high-school students [1] go to college [2], of which 3 out of 4 finish. By the time they finish they are in their mid-twenties and depending on what they've studied [3] will add another two years for a masters degree. In effect you'll get women who enter the job market 10 years later than their mothers did. So when the biological clock ticks louder they are often faced with a dilemma: Either less kids than originally wished for, or give up your first career years in exchange for fitting as much child-bearing in them as possible.

Again, I don't see how individualism is at the epicenter here. Instead I'd take a good look at lack of intelligent regulation (nudging), medicine and misguided education policy.

[1] & [2] since educational systems are complex to translate, I just went with the most aproximate US counterpart

[3] mostly because the job prospects in a given field are non-existent with 'just' a bachelor's degree
Excellent, thank you! This really clears it up.

One of the comments on the top answer added an example that unlocked it for me intuitively: “in VMWare you can have a virtualized CD drive which is connected to the real physical CD drive, or you can have an emulated CD drive that is backed by an ISO image on the host.”

Virtualization = sharing real hardware.

Emulation = software pretending to be real hardware.
> None of my colleagues wants to work with or test anything not strictly web-based.

If that's true, I'd be willing to bet there's some extreme self-selection going on. Which is fine, but I'd be very careful about generalizing your experience outside of your immediate social circle.
I guess it depends. I've always had a really bad experience with Apple Stores in my country. Every problem I've had they'd brush it off or wanted to make me pay so much it would have been more cost effective to buy a new device.
The value the ketamine doc (in my case, both docs have been anesthesiologists) provides, that a psychiatrist doesn't, are:

(1) Safely starting an IV on you

(2) Monitor your heart rate, O2, bp levels during the infusion - sometimes people have problems during infusions, I've never had one, but I feel safer having these treatments knowing my vitals are being monitored

(3) Training to know how to solve emergency health issues you may have during the treatment. I personally value this on-the-spot emergency medical knowledge very highly, but if you don't then I can understand why you might question the value. I am completely and utterly helpless during an infusion, if anything bad happens to me, I will be utterly unable to help myself, even a tiny bit.

(3) Access to pure/safe ketamine

I've never known, or heard of, a psychiatrist that will do all this. They very well may exist but not in my area.
We seem to have an issue where we we end up targeting the wrong people, and this will make it possible to do so more accurately and easily.
Regarding a "casino's main systems"..

Going back a few years I was involved with a gaming organisation. We were advised that certain activities legally had to be air gapped (we are not in the US), and I raised an issue of how it is that servers could be accessed by VNC (single dictionary word password) over the Internet if that were the case.

I was advised that the server was installed in a rack with 1RU of space between it and the router connecting it to the internet, and that lawyers had reviewed it and considered that to meet the legal definition.

I strongly suspect you'll find core activities just as vulnerable.
"Getting Things Done" by David Allen didn't change the way I think about everything, but it definitely changed the way that I looked at a lot of things. It's often panned today as being "common sense", but I think that's a mischaracterization - at the time it became popular, it ran counter to the conventional wisdom of how to manage your time and attention. Reading it made a profound and lasting impact on how I approached my work.

From a technology standpoint, "The Pragmatic Programmer" changed the way I looked at programming. When I read it the first time, I was a Visual Basic programmer, with only a passing familiarity with the world outside the Microsoft ecosystem. After reading that I began to explore Perl, then Python, and installed Linux and learned it. For my career as a developer, then team lead, and then manager, that book changed me more than any other book I've read in the field.

Heh, I was recently in that same Apple Store for a repair and was left with a contradictory impression of it being empty yet crowded at the same time. It's certainly a big space but, at least when I went, it was pretty crowded anywhere there was seating. It was strange and not particularly pleasant.
Tesla could totally fix your concerns with software only changes.

By changing the motor drivers to have a much higher current in all coils of the motor, the I^2 R losses are much higher, and the car will slow down while heating the motors up.

Then run the cooling pumps and the heat will go into heating the battery.
