Ask HN: How do you deal with the morals of leaving your current job?
How do you deal with leaving a company where you feel you play an important role in the success of ongoing operations?

To give background on my own specific situation, I am an early 20's IT professional with a beautiful 5 month old baby & a passion for scripting and process automation. I took a new job 5 months ago just as my son (first) was born. In this time, I've learned a lot and grown substantially. I've met an individual I currently consider to be my mentor who has helped me a lot in refining my scripting design and shared a lot of wisdom and experience about the software development field.

As part of my role at this company, I've spent a lot of time developing custom powershell automation scripts and solutions to repetitious tasks that otherwise would have involved a lot of man hours doing manual systems work. I have a few projects coming down the pipeline that I am positioned as a key resource for, using a scripting language that I'm the only one in the company with experience in. Additionally I have been receiving training on a vendor software suite that we're in the process of upgrading, though I can probably wrap this up in about 3-4 weeks if it came down to it.

The issue I'm dealing with morally is that I've been approached by a company via LinkedIn asking me to interview for a role that offers almost twice my current salary to do the "slice" of my job that I enjoy and want to do full time (Scripting & Automation Development) for a much much larger company.

I'm proceeding with the phone interview, and still haven't decided to take it further if the new company decides they want me. Regardless of the outcome, it has raised the moral question in my mind, what should dictate my loyalty to a company?
Right, but should we? Probably not. That’s what I’m getting at.

The reporting on New Orleans is frustrating. They quote city officials complaining about the registration system being shut down and losing years of work, and they quote Airbnb saying that the system was shut down because the city changed the law and made it ineffective.

Seems like the journalist could've figure out what really happened here and just reported it rather than printing two conflicting accounts and wiping their hands of it.
Just to piggy back on this comment: there is a strong case for mandatory military service. Just going to list bullet points.

- Would help people mature before diving into the next stage of life, especially immature people whose upbringing has failed to imbue them with responsibility.

- Would boost civic participation. When everyone's kid is at risk of dying, everyone pays attention to who we're going to war with and why.

- Would provide structure for people when they are at the point when they could do the most damage to themselves or society (young adulthood).

- Would strengthen military power; every citizen would have at least a small amount of military training, if we really need it.

- Would greatly diminish stratification of social/cultural/economic groups. Would help get people out of the bubbles they grow up in.

- Would increase physical fitness and health of the population.

I see very little downside to a mandatory 2 year military service.
The section of road shown in the video is the I-5 express lane where it rejoins the regular freeway in North Seattle: https://www.google.com/maps/@47.7021836,-122.3299637,3a,71.1... Note how it's configured for southbound traffic in the street view image. It switches direction twice a day.

Though you can't see it very well in the video, there is a crash arresting net after all the signs. https://www.google.com/maps/@47.7034263,-122.3302029,3a,19.3... You can't just drive through a couple of boards and run into oncoming traffic.

I don't think git counts as a counterexample. The initial commit had 1244 lines, including documentation. It now has over 200,000 lines of C. The initial commit didn't include branches, remotes, submodules, or many other git features I use daily. It just had trees, blobs, and changesets. A simple core of what git eventually became.
We chose not to because it’s a bad idea. That’s what I’m getting at here. “Killing” a company for a rules violation is also probably a bad idea.
Citing an entire book as a source is quite frankly a ridiculous suggestion. You are suggesting that the poster should spend hours proving your position for you when you wont spend a few minutes.
I think it largely depends on whether you're using intrusive data structures or not. Even in open addressing you still must always load the object to verify the correct key, so collisions still result in [wasted] random memory access. If the hash table uses dedicated nodes then you have to indirect twice just to verify the key. But in all the hash tables I've written the hash node is already a part of the object, so there's no additional indirection.

However, Rust is allergic to intrusive data structures. Which is a little ironic as single ownership ostensibly would otherwise make intrusive data structures more practical as you're already effectively precluded from inserting an object into multiple hash tables and so there's no potential for contention over the object's internal node fields.

I suppose linear probing also permits prefetching of successive buckets, though ideally collisions should be the exception so such prefetching might just waste bandwidth.

>If cities were allowed to organically build upwards

Zoning is no doubt sometimes the issue. But there's a lot of evidence that, given availability of land at the time of initial construction, the organic behavior tends toward detached single-family homes and duplexes.
>Watching the video, '2019.5.15 - Try 2' is interesting. You can see the car moving normally, then it starts to follow the black crack in the road and moves to the right- at this moment, the white Nissan in front is blocking the white lines ahead where the lanes actually split.

It seems like it's failing in different ways:

Try 1- Toughest to tell, but it looks like it failed to recognize any lines. Kept going straight which was at the barrier. Hard to tell if the car would have recovered.

Try 2- Looks like the car tried to go left into the closed lane. Seems like an error in detecting the barriers closing the road. I'd guess that it would have avoided the concrete barrier and driven down the closed lane

Try 3 - This one looks like it picked the wrong lane marker to be the left side of the road. In that it thought the right lane marker of the closed lane was actually the left lane marker. This one probably ends up with a smashed car and dead driver.
Some advanced CPR classes actually do cover active-shooter scenario training. I get refreshers every 3 months and full training every year. Ask your CPR training company if they have this available. Not all of them do it.

I have been yelling about this for a long time: Tesla is not going to be able to deliver full self-driving as promised. They don't have the hardware, for one (ranging is terrible; they need stereo cameras), and second, their software strategy seems to be a dead end.

They need sensor fusion. The system needs to make maximum use of all the information available to it: Where is the road striping? Where are the other cars going? Where are the road signs and signals? (If there's one in your path, you certainly shouldn't drive into it!) Are there camera-visible obstructions? What were the interpretations and actions of previous Tesla trips along the same route?

In these problem cases, all data except the left and right lane striping seems to be completely ignored. There was even more information at the fatal offramp location (cross-striping over the lane separation zone), which the vehicle drove straight over. The system is not making maximum use of the information available to it, in fact it is using hardly any of it at all, and fixating on what it thinks is a single most salient piece of data.

Sensor fusion algorithms tend to behave the opposite way-- each additional piece of data informs the interpretation of all the other data. You can have very poor-quality data, but if it is even moderately over-constrained, your state estimate can be very good in spite of it. I think it would be completely reasonable to have a neural net in the loop of a sensor fusion algorithm, with fusion constraints informing the NN's interpretation, and the NN's estimates feeding back into the fusion algorithm as uncertain data.

IMO Tesla will do at least one of:

* Very expensively retract their promise of full self driving for delivered vehicles

* Completely overhaul/redesign their driving software and start again nearly from scratch

* Get into a regulatory/legal tangle with the NTSA/courts/DOJ over all the dead people their system is making.
> The AP can only kill you if you're distracted/asleep at the wheel and not paying attention.

That's not true. There are many situations where the AP could make a sudden turn and kill you long before you had time to react even if you were paying attention. And in fact, the situation in the video seem to be not so far away from that.
Conversations with Juggernaut Founders - The Foundry with Chris Read
Hey HN -

Brex is excited to bring you our podcast on startups and founders: The Foundry with Chris Read. The podcast focuses on how leading startups are building the future, and the companies and founders behind this.

Our first two episodes are with the CEO of Birchbox Katia Beauchamp (live) and the CFO of Warby Parker Steve Miller (out next Tuesday). High-points for me were Katia cold-emailing Steve Jobs and how Steve knew Warby was special.

It's now live at https://podcast.brex.com/

There's also an insight tweetstorm of takeaways at https://twitter.com/brexthefoundry/status/1108398158730518528

Keep a lookout for more great content in the future from Brex.

Let us know who you'd like to see and what you need to know!

> What is the improvement I am missing here?

I think what you are missing is that different people value things differently. These don't make sense for you? That's fine, don't buy them. They don't make sense for me either, so I don't buy them.

However, I can understand how it would make sense for someone else. Arguing the money aspect doesn't make sense because we never know a person's income, expenses and savings. $200 for one person is nothing, while it can be the difference between making rent for another.

Arguing sound quality doesn't make sense either, because despite all of the numbers that people throw around, people perceive and enjoy sound differently. It isn't objective, its subjective.

Same thing with the presence of wires. I would have liked these (or, more likely, a larger set of wireless cans) when I lived in Japan and commuted by train daily. Now that I commute by car, my headphone use is limited to netflix in bed and when I'm playing guitar. Wireless doesn't do anything for me in those situations.

Long story short, different strokes for different folks.

> You're always in charge of driving the car appropriately, the "AP" can only provide tentative assistance of a very rough sort.

It can "tentatively assist" you in killing yourself and potentially others, but we already know that from the disaster in Mountain View, where this exact same thing happened.

The problem with behavior changes in autopilot is that the car needs to react the same way every time.

If you're going around a corner on a road which you've driven on for years without issue, and the car all of a sudden does something unexpected, the panic and over-correction reaction that everyone instinctively has tends to cause more accidents than just holding your desired course does.

It doesn't matter if it's a skid, or your Tesla trying to accelerate you into a wall at 70 miles an hour. If the car does something the driver is not expecting it to do for any reason (from fatally defective software to ice on the ground) the driver performs sub-optimally as a result.

And since this is Tesla we're talking about (who bakes in features like your car not starting before you upgrade its software, which is another "feature" about these cars that's going to get someone killed sooner or later), I'm willing to bet that the car doesn't warn you that this might occur. It just works fine for 6 months, then an update gets pushed, the car tries to put you into a wall, and you cause an accident because you're trying to stop the car from killing you and didn't check your blind spot before that.

That is a UI and UX failure of the highest magnitude, and it is completely unacceptable, no matter how well it otherwise tends to work.
That's a super interesting process! I haven't heard of using spreadsheets to track this kind of thing. It sounds like you're sort of building a spreadsheet-based lead sheet.

Thanks for checking out Songcraft. Let me know if there are features it's missing that would make it useful for your method!

No. The 1st amendment of the US constitution is about government interference - the idea of free speech is broader than that.
People draw analogies to things present at that time to derive rulings today. I read somewhere that way before the advent of flight, Muslim scholars thought about how would one pray if they were flying. Today, rulings about how to pray on a plane are derived from rulings about how people used to pray when they were traveling in caravans, riding camels or horses etc.

I don't disagree regarding AirBNB specifically, but sweeping generalizations about vacation rentals are destructive in communities that really need them to survive. Dozens of towns across Colorado are depending on this sort of longer-duration vacation tourism for their survival. The ones who do it well will thrive without too much change to their character (and without being colonized by casino companies). And like I said in another comment, hotels are useless for attracting this kind of tourism.

AirBNB should behave better, no doubt. And if they don't, they should be made to behave through thoughtful regulation that doesn't endanger the economy and character of places all over the country that are coming to depend on travelers.
Increasingly, cities will be expected to plan roads in a way that would be simpler for autonomous vehicles to bavigate.
Nitpick, but given how widespread Buddhism is in East Asia, I would not be surprised if it were also quite practical to be vegetarian in both Korea and Vietnam. I do agree that there are locations where being vegetarian would be more difficult - more rural, meatcentric towns in America come to mind for me.

Isn't Gall's Law a tautology? Simplicity and Complexity is a catch up game. Thesis, antithesis and synthesis: Hegel's trascendence concept.
First, let state the following Axiom or mechanism for explanation: To explain something you have to reduce it to simpler terms. This mechanism stems from how we use our language: something is complex when one is able to compared it with a simpler system that is functionally related. So the use of the word complexity requires a hierarchy, a ladder that connects simplicity with complexity.

An artificial mind could conceive and use a different concept of complexity for constructing an artificial language. For instance, multiplying two 64 bits integers is a simple instruction for a computer. In the analogy of the mind as a neural network we know that some problems cannot be solved with perceptrons. Who devises the divide line between a simple and a complex system? Our minds compose the graph of concepts and relations looking for a decomposition from simple to complex. But the definition of something simple is completely relate to the context in which one poses the problem. Building a computer, as the one I am typing on, was a infinite complex endevour a century ago, today that endevour is a solved problem.

Finally, in maths simplicity is rescaled: Once you solve a problem and find a method to solve related problems, then the initial problem becomes trivial and the pursue of complexity is restarted. The ontology graph in our minds is always evolving with new methods, concepts and intuitions, and the simplicity complexity scale measured by the distance in that graph is dynamically adjusted.

So I believe Gall's Law is a consequence of how we use the word complexity.

I guess I'd be a little shocked you're considering a jump after only five months. Future employers might be a bit hesitant if you end up with multiple short terms on your resume, because they'll have no expectation of you staying with them long term.

That being said, your obligation is to yourself, not your company. If your current company isn't meeting your needs, you are not really wrong to leave. If the roles were reversed and you were not meeting your employer's needs, they would likely have few qualms about letting you go and finding someone else. Presumably if this new employer is offering you nearly twice the salary, and you are able to secure that position, your old employer was not really providing a competitive level of compensation.

I am comfortable remaining at my company long-term because they have repeatedly demonstrated valuing me as an employee, and ensuring compensation and benefits are competitive. I probably wouldn't consider a higher offer at current, because despite an on paper increase, I don't know a new employer would continue to demonstrate the value they place in mean over time.

Depending on your new employer's rules and expectations, should you get the job, you can also potentially do a certain amount to soften the blow for your previous employer. I've generally left the open offer to reach out to me if a previous employer has any questions or issues after I left which I might be able to provide insight on. (Far too often, people leave and any knowledge they have disappears immediately, which is something I prefer to avoid with myself.)
It's great that you're willing to die for Tesla's profit, but you realize that autonomous vehicle-induced crashes affect everyone on the road? Even someone who doesn't consent to Tesla's TOS is still sharing the road with potentially dangerous software.

Granted, individual drivers are awful enough that it probably doesn't make that huge a difference in danger. But would you still feel the way if a family member was killed in an accident where their human-controlled car was rear-ended by a Tesla?
