Ask HN: Tell me what you think a good job ad looks like
I'm helping a manager I know write better job placement ads. I've pointed her to KeyValues.io, but I thought I'd ask here as well - what does a good job ad look like for you?

For reference, the current job ad is the industry standard laundry list of tech used, tech expected and a pretty tame sales pitch about the company.
Especially when pretty much every real issue requires medication.

That said, I am badly socially integrated. I was recently forced to attend a two-day corporate "rah rah" culture training class. I liken it to Maoist or Nazi indoctrination. They even have a "little red book" and a poker chip with values printed on them. All that shit went directly into the trash when I got home.

The people at the top of my company are psychopaths. They say nice things and pretend to care, but at the end of the day, they want more billions flowing to them whatever the cost.
A city bus (regardless of ICE vs EV) is limited in acceleration by what the manufacturer thinks people will tolerate (a city probably won't buy your bus if their limited trial results in people complaining about getting tossed around) so you get an electronic throttle with some fine tuning on top. Pretty much every modern vehicle has this. The EV manufacturer probably tunes their electronic nanny to give you more torque right away because "muh torque" is a selling point and they want the city reps taking a test ride on the bus to feel that.

Let's have AWS accidentally decrypt a few more dozen terabytes of DoD datum and then decide.
Unless they get bailed out
Politely disagree. I'm going to take engineering math to mean ~4 semesters of calculus (differentiation, integration, multivariable, and differential equations) as well as maybe a Linear Algebra class and a discrete mathematics class (probability, set theory, combinatorics). I would argue only the discrete mathematics course is practically useful

Anecdotally, as an engineer in industry, I use very little of the engineering math. Number sense and sort of general quantitative reasoning are used.

Let's suppose for sake of argument that I actually used engineering math though. Analytic solutions to derivatives and integrals (2 semesters of calculus) are largely useless because of applications like Wolfram Alpha that will solve these problems for you. The small class of ODE/PDE problems that are handled by analytic undergrad math classes will most often be solved using numerical methods such as Runge Kutta. Linear algebra is actually super useful in practice because you can use matrix solvers to solve systems of linear equations -- but a first course in undergraduate linear algebra is often just basic by-hand computations on matrix systems, and don't discuss higher order concepts at more than a shallow level (spans, invertibility, spectral decomposition, canonical forms, etc.)

So screw ethics? I got mine, don't care what happens to anyone else?
It would need to be stronger than EU member states' influence, which seems unlikely. I also don't remember ever hearing of even attempts to exert influence on these investigations.

Note that such agency actions are firewalled from even their EU/US/national political leadership. Even if Trump managed to convince Merkel to intervene, she wouldn't really be able to. To illustrate with a reverse example: Imagine Macron trying to get to get to a judge in a California District Court. There are multiple layers in between where they would tend to consider the call a prank and hang up.
There will always be tragedies with drugs but criminalization only compounds the tragedy. It is not a problem you can fix with the kneejerk violence of placing people in cages. At the root I think the problem is addictive drugs remove people from society. Incarceration all but guarantees that removal is maximized.

Portugal legalized everything a while back and it was a major success. It is worth reading up on their experience. A great quote I heard a couple years back: "It is an atrocity what we do to people when we don't like what they do to themselves." - Anon

I think it's a good addition to g suite, since you can also export the data from a vault rather easily.
in language implementation the speed you get generally follows this path:

AST interpreter < bytecode interpreter < native code compiler

and it's an AST interrpeter so it's (likely to be) on the lower end of the speed scale.
He's not even right. He's pseudo rigorous to support is CL zealot trolling.

He made it far enough into the wikipedia article to find a graphic that pseudo supports his claim, but not far enough to actually read the definition of an Abstract Syntax Tree (the thing we talk about) vs Concrete Syntax Tree (the thing he talks about).

> This distinguishes abstract syntax trees from concrete syntax trees, traditionally designated parse trees, which are typically built by a parser during the source code translation and compiling process.

It's not a "security" feature, anything which can be displayed can be captured, you can even take a picture of your phone with another phone if you want, it just makes users annoyed without adding any security.

Why was there only 1 flimsy panel between the top of the escalator and a deadly downward plunge? Why aren't there any safety layers in between? It doesn't take an expert to know that's poor (even negligent) engineering. Perhaps if escalators were better made, they wouldn't be so deadly and require years long apprenticeships for maintenance workers to not endanger lives.
can't be right, airlines literally don't hire pilots with lower than required hours. they'd be sued into oblivion and their license to operate taken away if they did that. it's an ironclad rule afaik

Here's the way I look at it: learning loss is almost inevitable, but I think it's less of a problem than it appears.

What I think we should instead pay attention to is the rate of re-learning. Something may take significant time and effort to learn the first time, and after say a year or two, one may forget it. But when re-introduced to the concept (when you may actually need it), I think one can re-learn it quite rapidly.

No, not really.

Basically the way the EU sees it, Google has a monopoly in a market: mobile operating systems. That is, if you're an OEM and you want to sell a device with an operating system, Google is currently the only place you can really turn. Apple exists but since it doesn't sell its operating system, it's not a participant in this market.

So the EU saw Google saying to OEMs "you can have Android but you have to install our stuff on it or pay extra" and decided that Google was using its monopoly position in one market (mobile OS) to give itself an advantage in other markets (app stores, browsers, search). They see this as anti-competitive.
Nice Idea!
This got my attention too. For at least 6 minutes, the crew were coping with the problem - the aircraft was holding altitude and speed, if erratically, and they must have been getting the trim back to approximately where it should have been, or else MCAS would have driven the stabilizer to the point where it overrode the elevator authority.

In about the last minute of that recording, the pattern changes: the pilot trim inputs decreased and became much shorter, and the stick forces changed from going up and down to a sustained, high, back-force.

The article says that near the end, the captain handed over control to the 1st officer so he could look for answers. I am speculating wildly here, but could that coincide with the change in the pattern of the pilot's responses? Could it be that the 1st officer did not attempt to re-trim, or did not do it completely? Did he try to trim manually, but perhaps could not because of the load on the stabilizer? [1]. IIRC, according to Dominic Gates, it would only take two cycles of MCAS intervention until the stabilizer had reached a point where full nose-up elevator could not keep the airplane level.

The chart was published in one of Dominic Gates' Seattle Times articles, but I am not in a position to find it right now...

Iraq and Vietnam are both examples of populations resisting against a foreign military invading their country, thus having to deal with a population, and culture, they have no clue about.

That's quite a different scenario than your own domestic government turning on you, with its way better understanding, and DATA, about the people of the country. In a situation like that, the state institutions will be taken over fully functional and turned against you, while in Iraq and Vietnam these state institutions were among the first to be dismantled by the invaders.

Stephen Hawking celebrated with new 50 pence coin
I, for one, would not have attended an undergraduate program that didn't have a strong humanities/core to round my intellectual endeavors. I knew I'd be reading ancient literature, philosophy, economics, psychology, and a number of subjects I'd not touch independently, and this encouraged/enhanced my general curiosity.

While I entered the school intent on majoring in Biological Sciences (genetic engineering), music is my second love and I was quite fortunate that UChicago had a fantastic music history/theory department. While picking up "marketable" skills in science/research, I picked up a double major in music, the musical skills of which have improved my playing every single time I have stepped to the piano since.

In my view, university should be about setting oneself up for a productive life. For most, this should include marketable skills, as well as enriching and non-obviously employable skills.

Capitalist Realism is an incredible read. Since discovering him just a couple years ago, his ideas and his work have impacted me probably more than any other cultural/political theorist has. His death was a real loss, but his work is more vital than ever. Can’t recommend his work enough, and I’m excited to have seen his name pop up a couple times on HN over the last few days.

Reading Capitalist Realism really helped pull me out of a depressive rut, tbh. Highly recommended, and it really is short, something like 80 pages. The part where he talks about how on the surface, the students in his classroom appear to be hedonically satisfied, but then he introduces the term “depressive hedonism”, really stuck with me.

edit: another part that really stuck with me was how there is a modern tendency to privatize the burden of stress; consider how mental illness is the individual's burden so it must be handled at the individual level, etc etc. Fisher wrote an article in the Guardian about this, "Why mental health is a political issue" in 2012 - https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/jul/16/mental...

That's plausible, but how long is "eventually"? I mean, the Roman empire "eventually" crumbled after ~1000 years.

How long have we been waiting for North Korea to collapse? The Soviet Union already collapsed, but what do we have now in Russia? China appears to be ascendant and simultaneously accelerating towards a nightmarish Orwellian dystopia with no signs of ever slowing down.

We can't afford to just wait for these things to run their course like a case of the flu. It requires will-power and a bit of courage.

Hmm. Solutions like signal or whatsapp also used their "own custom encryption scheme" (in that sense), instead of PGP.

I'm not sure PGP is actually good enough that alternatives aren't desirable. Here's a Wired article saying "PGP is dead... use Signal for your encrypted messaging instead": https://www.wired.co.uk/article/efail-pgp-vulnerability-outl...
