NIH funding has been highly stagnant for sometime as well as NSF funding. Drug development and research timelines are much longer than any single politician's term. What successful government projects inspire your confidence that they would do a good job innovating for future medicines? Moon Landing? Look at NASA's budget changes to see the rewards for their efforts.

Has this been successful anywhere? What purely run state enterprises that are charged with creating new and innovate things have been success stories?

I think that while private enterprise has had a jaded role in healthcare, I'm not sure what the better alternative is.
The Obama admin also fought to keep these open.
Today I would wonder what that would be after the fact.

Whole towns and cities largely abandoned? Small county roads and highways left to rot?

Massive tracts of housing empty.

Would communities consolidate toward city centers, and sort of "turn off" whole suburbs? You really can't keep all the sewer and plumbing for all those places online if nobody is there.

What would we do with all the extra material goods lying around in these houses?

Then there are all the factories and chemicals and pollutants at those place that would need to be cleaned up and stored as they're not being actively maintained.

Ask HN: How is ageism in Indian IT industry?
One of the fundamental ways the Indian IT industry works is by putting a lot of 0-5 years experienced people in projects. They need to be paid way less, and they are willing to work late nights every day. There is a perception (at least among my friends) that once you cross 8 years, it is hard to switch jobs. And all the teams I have seen so far are something like this - if you take a team of 20, there will be sixteen 0-5 folks, 2-3 leads and a manager.

So what happens to most people once they acquire more experience? They can't all be going for better companies (product companies) since we don't have that many in India. Are you aware of any studies being conducted about this?

And yet the 1918 flu had profound effects, and there is no guarantee that any future pandemic wouldn’t have a much higher CFR and total mortality. We also have to consider the impact of societal collapse in the near term, and the deaths that would cause. It’s true that the Black Death was spectacularly deveststing, but it’s also true that in a world where regular shipments of food and medicine are critical to daily survival, the diseases themselves would probably be secondary to starvation and societal collapse. Very very few people in the developed world could support themselves without the context of a functioning state for very long. It’s also true that we’re armed to the teeth and have lots of transportation. People would fight for food, fight for medicine they were used to a steady supply of, and you’d have mass casualties from thst alone. In the true (hopefully deeply unlikely) worst cast you’d see the use of nuclear weapons.

The deaths in Asia from the plague had very little impact on Europeans, and visa versa. We can’t honestly say the same today. If something like MERS mutates in the right way, we could very easily look at a similar CFR to the Black Death, in a world with more than 7 billion people in it.
Yes, it's really more about the GCs than the JIT. The yak-shaving involved in a performant C++ app is an order of magnitude higher. Plus, you get nice stack traces. Libraries like Netty make for extremely high-throughput apps.

There is still creativity in the architecture, the training data, and the sample selection. None of the art is randomly created, but carefully curated by a human.
The nice thing about restic is that you don't need to have a smart server, you can store your backups anywhere. And it doesn't require a particular filesystem on your host. Not to mention that deduplication is very cheap due its design (and unlike extent-based dedup, content-defined dedup also helps dedup some file changes a lot better).

ZFS, while it is definitely a great project, doesn't provide those features.

I like it! :D. It reminds me of the time when the Simpsons visited Australia.

That said, I belong to at least two cultures. In one of them being offensive is often punishable. In another, being offended is seen as a sign of weakness and immaturity.

When I was younger, I'd often get offended easily - I'd be endlessly frustrated by the things that people whom I considered close had said to me.
As I've grown older, I've come to appreciate the latter culture.
I run a free mentoring program as a form of community service, specifically for managers and leaders. Happy to talk live if you prefer: https://freemanagermentors.com

I’m a fan of Jack Welch when it comes to leadership, and I’d recommend thinking about the “4e’s and a p” method. https://jackwelch.strayer.edu/winning/leadership-4es-p-energ...

In particular, how can you energize others around you? As a leader, you need to motivate, inspire, and instill confidence, almost every day. You don’t have to be charismatic or a good orator to do that either. You need to learn how to connect with your people, understand their motivations, and utilize that understanding in how you speak to them (language, tone, timing, feedback).

Lots to unpack here, but that’s my rapid $0.02 on HN. Good luck!

I haven't found the HAVOC codon yet.

Also, it's confusing that after you "beat the game" the alleles cease to have an effect on the hypothetical organelle, so to speak.

EDIT: Never mind, just found the HAVOC codon. Actually, there seem to be multiple HAVOC codons, or different combinations for the same result, after you complete the initial challenge.

It's strange that previously disorderly combinations don't produce the same results, after you initially encode the ORDER codon. Why doesn't the pump revert to a chaotic state, when the gene inputs are returned to the default state?

Paul Krugman Asked Me About Modern Monetary Theory. Here Are 4 Answers
An engineer focuses on the what, where, and how...a leader focuses on the who and why. For example you are considering adding a feature to your app. As an engineer you think of what you need to build how to implement it, where to store the data or put the logic. A manager focuses on why you should or shouldn't build it, who on the team does what part, how much it costs, etc. Imagine the transition from line cook to executive chef...when you're in charge you have to think big picture about menus and marketing and let your team handle the tasks of chopping of vegetables and plating entrees.
Most non-straight people I know did not graduate high school. Its a serious issue, and those that did generally flew under the radar and appeared straight until college.

I know one trans person who was set to go to an Ivy League school (incrediby adept at mathematics) that got outed and has been relentlessly harassed by both their parents and school.

I've been trying to encourage them to fire high school and go all Running Start, cause it ain't gonna get better wrt the school administrators being horrid. They likely won't graduate if things fail to improve.

Edit: This is in Seattle Public Schools proper, Bellevue, Northshore and other districts are on point about expelling those that cop to not being straight or cis. Its been painful to watch bright kids get needlessly ejected from the system that is supposed to provide them an education.
But even in the UK you have variation across years.

For one example - the burden of proof used by coroners changed in 2018. This means it's going to be a bit tricky to compare deaths before and after this date, and there's going to be variation as this information is applied by coroners as they get used to the new level.

https://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Admin/2018/1955.html

And the coroners numbers do affect the ONS data.

One thing about this article that I find interesting is that it is not necessarily dealing with conflicts between different cultural values from cultures from different countries or ethnic groups. The point is even within groups of people that you'd think are similar, people interpret things in different ways. Some people will think that picking up a check for a group meal means you expect others to do the same next time. Others will think it means you are feeling financially secure and are informing others of this status. We all assume others understand our meaning but they often may not.
> Some people are a whole lot more fragile than others.

A slightly more charitable way to phrase this might be “Some people prefer to be treated as professionals, with dignity and respect.”

I think what the poster above you was trying to get across is, part of a leaders role is to distinguish what works best for their different team members. While some people may enjoy being treated less than respectful, others may not.

> What troubles me about insulin prices is that raising prices can simultaneously be used to satisfy shareholders with growing profits AND be used to fund new drugs (revenue from existing drugs obviously must fund the creation of new drugs).

That's not obvious at all; there's no reason creation of new drugs couldn't be financed by raising capital through either debt or equity issues, which are then paid back, in effect, by the profits from the drug itself; in fact, a fair amount of drug development is funded that way, because it's done by startups which are acquired by major firms, if at all, only after doing much of the development work; obviously, that's how every firm’s first drug is financed.

It may be that firms want to eventually shift business models, so at some point they take their existing stake of drugs and body prices so instead of paying off their own development, they are doing that and paying forward development, and after that switch to internal financing, but there is no reason that is obviously a necessity.
Outrageous prosecutorial misconduct comes home to roost in Bundy case
I just put in my notice at my current job (which I’ve only had for six months) due to an abusive boss. I’ve always been great at my job, received a lot of praise for my work, and generally felt motivated to give and do way more than was asked. Not at this job. My manager’s behavior and attitude totally dragged me down and I’ve been the least motivated I’ve ever been. I’ve been depressed and stressed and basically shut down at work. Because of that, I’m going back to an old job to work for a manager who was much more positive and supportive.

The adage about employees leaving managers absolutely applies in this circumstance.

The difference here is that the minimum wage for tipped workers is guaranteed. If wages + tips is less than the normal minimum wage, the restaurant has to make up the difference, but if wages + tips > normal minimum, they (the restaurant) don't get to reduce their contribution or retain a portion of the tips, and the employee has the opportunity to make significantly more than minimum wage. This is very different doordash's system, where if wages + tips is greater than the minimum, Doordash keeps some or all of the difference. I think its fair to say that people who are tipping their delivery person expect that their tip is increasing the income of the delivery person, and not their employer.

C and C++ are also both taught in almost every university (at least in America but I assume in other places as well). You can't really say the same for rust.
Yeah I agree that it should be easy to run it like a scripting language... I just found out it's possible since Java 11, you can now run "java MyProgram.java"

Now that I think about it, I can understand why people would dislike Java, the standard library kind of sucks, it lacked lambda functions before Java 8... and in general there seems to be lack of focus on usability and elegance, which also spreads to the ecosystem. Modern Java is not that bad though.

But - Java offers a surprisingly unique package - it's fast, it has GC, static typing, good library and IDE availability, supports both OOP and functional programming (kind of). There's really only 1 competitor unless I'm missing something - C#. There's also Kotlin if that counts. Swift doesn't have GC and not sure if it's mature enough outside of the Apple ecosystem. Dart is slower.
At my company, any sort of presentation at trade shows or conferences has to be reviewed by the marketing department first. In fact often the content originated from the marketing department. It seems to me like large scientific organizations like CERN should do something similar. Science has always been political and probably always will be.

Prosecutors seek to stop NJ Weedman's jury nullification argument
"Why would measures meant to protect somebody from violence ever be considered discriminatory in the first place?"

Well, if it's sanctioned discrimination by law, then it could clearly be seen as problematic.

For example, this convention may make it possible for police to 'err on the side of the female' during domestic 'he said / she said' interventions, i.e. requiring the male to vacate the premises during a cooling off period, even when it's a ambiguous situation.

The problem is that domestic violence is a two way street.

From the CBC (Canada) [1] " it looks like the average rate of violence perpetrated by men in intimate partner relationships is about 22 per cent, and by women it was actually found to be about 28 per cent" i.e. literally women it seems quite substantially more likely to commit violence against men than the other way around, in Canada. (Obviously doesn't take into account things like degree of violence etc.).

The reference to the Istanbul Convention I'm not sure is hugely relevant to the presentation, but on the presenters slide he is identifying that men face institutional discrimination: they are called to war, they die on the job, they have biased laws vis-a-vis domestic violence etc..

Marxism has never historically done any good to a society that practiced it. Perhaps the author things it will change moving forward.
Here's my strategy whenever I have 1:1's or hallway "walking conversations" with execs/GMs that are at least 2 levels above me:

1) try to teach them something new or interesting that has been learned that they can add to their box of tricks/intel that they can pull out later in other conversations. Include people/orgs that are involved. Include observed successes/failures.

The goal is that when they leave the conversation - they've learned something - and they've pegged you as someone who has something interesting to share.

2) avoid status reporting - that can move up through the regular chain of command.

3) discuss side projects or other things orthogonal to the immediate business - but that might be value to another or future part of the business.

4) avoid too much of the "idea guy" stuff - keep the things talked about to things that are real and tangible. I'v'e found that idea's that often seem grand and cool to me on reflection appear rather naive and unattainable.

..take all of the above with some salt - your millage may vary.

One of my favorite ways to sum this up is thinking tactically (who and why) vs operationally (what and how).

The third layer on top of all of this is strategic thinking (in theory, what your executive team is providing... even higher level and longer term abstract goals).

Your executive team thinks strategically about what the goal is, your engineering management thinks tactically about the people and tasks needed to complete the goal, your engineer thinks operationally about how to build or design the work in each task.

Ask HN: We will run your product surveys for you
Will you use a service that runs surveys on behalf of your company? We typically target product usage and expansion surveys (like NPS, reliability, figuring out the next product and feature to build). Its a narrow niche but in our experience, the survey tools are easy (Google Form / Jotform / Qualtrics). Its the analysis thats time consuming and figuring out next steps can be tasking. We will offer a report, along with insights on qualitative data and next steps (follow up calls / isolating product reliability issues etc). We'll use any tool you have and are happy to analyze data from surveys past.

Any takers?

Floating point hardware was optional for a long time. 486 in 1989 was first Windows PC CPU with floating point standard. Before that it was an add on co-processor for the 386. New 386 models were coming out until 1992, so it took a long time before you could count on floating point support being there.

There are still a lot of embedded microprocessors without floating point support.

I consider the paper “ImageNet-trained CNNs are biased towards texture; increasing shape bias improves accuracy and robustness” essentially mandatory follow-up for anyone interested in this. It goes further with its conclusions and introduces a potential solution. By introducing the ‘Stylized-ImageNet’ dataset, they found that they can force the network to learn shape data, improving scores even on standard ImageNet and preventing this BagNet trick from working.
