> The answer appears to be that the perception, the myth of the overworked American is based on our own self-reporting. Gallup Poll results show that just over half of Americans are satisfied with their work hours and amount of vacation time, meaning almost half are not. More importantly, only 43 percent like their chances of promotion and only 41 percent are satisfied with their pay. This gives an awful lot of people an incentive to report that they are working really, really hard.

If I am interpreting the article correctly, the argument here is that dissatisfaction with some aspects of our careers (such as prospects of promotion) is causing us to claim we work really hard or claim we are overworked, as an emotional response?
It depends. Though power supply is a crisis in India, no government ever came into power or lost power because of it.

Modi was falsely accused as is evident in Supreme court acquiting the frivolus argument and his election to PM of the largest democracy in the world.

I am a minority NRI and can state clearly that no harassment as you state happens. None of my kith and kin have reported any such incidents on the ground.

Unless you can state proof for the anti-democracy claim, it is clearly baseless. With proof you have him praising Putin and Xi and wondering if that is possible in USA. Nothing even remotely similar for Modi, so what gives?
You have to make the connection though: that clacking noise is probably that new system I read about doing something. Then you have to determine whether that system is the cause of the problem, and whether disabling the system will either fix the issue, or possibly make it worse.

I don't know why this is in HN, but thanks for posting this. I have always loved Bolero for its hypnotic transcendental feeling, that can be found in music of Terry Riley, Arvo Pärt and electronic music. I started to reading about Sergiu Celibidache and he seems a very interesting composer. A teaser from Wikipedia:

"Celibidache frequently refused to release his performances on commercial recordings during his lifetime, claiming that a listener could not obtain a "transcendental experience" outside the concert hall. Many of the recordings of his performances were released posthumously. He has nonetheless earned international acclaim for celebrated interpretations of the classical music repertoire and was known for a spirited performance style informed by his study and experiences in Zen Buddhism. He is regarded as one of the greatest conductors of the 20th century."
clearly last day then, so what is your beef?

Everyone is sunny and relaxed because the culture breeds happiness. It's downright intoxicating to work there.

But I'm making a solid $20k less than I could make elsewhere at my current role. To me though, it's worth it for a working environment where I wake up with a smile at the thought of driving in, rather than waking up with a sick pit of dread in my gut every day.

why should everyone agree with this?

i respectfully disagree. first, project drawdown considers nuclear[1] a "regret" solution, because we have no story for dealing with nuclear waste. in the US specifically, until i see some movement on the yucca mountain [2] political clusterf*ck[3], i won't see nuclear as worth considering.

also, energy generation is only 25% of "our problems with co2"[4]. agriculture and transit make up the bulk of the other 75%, and i don't think we're going to have nuclear trucks or cows any time soon.

OP and maintainer of the image here.

I understand your concerns. I would have them too.

To be fair, I tried pushing these changes to the official NGINX image, but they weren't accepted because I'm using a multi-stage build, which are not allowed to official images for a series of reasons. I mostly disagree with those reasons, but I don't own the Docker Hub. Here's the PR: https://github.com/nginxinc/docker-nginx/pull/310

As for traceability, we've had some discussion over at Lobsters about that. I believe you can do it from outside the container, and avoid bloat that will only get used in 1% of the cases.

About reproducibility, my CI process for this image uses GitHub and the Docker Hub, I don't build and push the images myself (which I consider a very big red flag in A LOT of images, even official ones), so it must be reproducible as the Docker Hub must be able to build it.

I've responded to another user about maintenance. TL;DR is: I use it, so I must keep it up-to-date, usually in less than 24h of the release of a new patch. If for whatever reason I stop using it, upgrading is just changing two lines in the Dockerfiles, so it's not tiring. But if for whatever reason I can't maintain it anymore... This is an inherent problem of volunteer maintained open source software.

I might have convinced you, or not. Again, I'd have the same concerns as you do, it's fair.

Well I don't have any evidence either way, but between a Quora answer and what you've written, I have to imagine the Quora answer has more information.

Telling someone else to produce more significant evidence for you isn't the best way to convince people that what you're saying is true.
Yes. Who you find to blame doesn't fix the problem, does it?

After you find said individuals, someone has to still fix the problem. And in my experience you always need the help or information from said individuals to do so.

CHOOSING to focus on blame, only produces attacks, defensiveness and avoidance from whom ever you are blaming, when they can be contributing to the fix.

Reaching the solutions get pushed further down the road.

Whenever a crisis unfolds you want the people who created it in the room contributing info, thinking about solutions, rather than focusing on how to save their asses and hiding what they did.

Current culture puts too much emphasis on passing judgements and blaming people. What outcomes are being produced speak for themselves when that route is choosen.
This.

There may be an interesting thread to pull about whether a western philosophical tendency to focus on an idealised rational individual confronting the world has led to a particular idea of the self. Though I'm not sure whether this has been the dominant view in analytic philosophy post linguistic turn, or whether it has ever been the mainstream in continental philosophy. This would need a lot more work to unpack.

Trying to construct a conflict between Descartes sense of self in the cogito(which as far as I can see amounts to nothing more than 'I exist') and African philosophy seems deeply odd. If Descartes 'sense of self' is mere existence (and I think this is a very odd reading of the cogito), then are we supposed to say that African babies don't exist until they become part of society?

I recently made a decision on the following front-end stack:

- Bootstrap 3.x

- jQuery

- KnockoutJS

because of the following reasons:

- The devices that will be accessing the web app may have older browsers, both desktop and mobile.

- My users will be in geography where network connection is sometimes slow.

- These libraries have been in the wild for very long time and time tested with lot of support available on public forums.

- Very easy to get started.

- As I am not primarily a front-end web developer, I am not in a position to handle various quirks of different browsers; if libraries such as bootstrap, jquery and knockoutjs handle that for me for older devices and browsers then it is useful.

If I had an option to go for a more modern stack, then I would have gone with svelte.technology, unpolyjs and bootstrap.

Whenever I read something like this I dread how much we are still lacking in medical research. An observation like this should, in an ideal world, be subject to intense simulations in sophisticated models. The results should then immediately apply to a large percentage of patients. Consequently, an individual treatment option should be on the table in weeks and its application should result in an immediate refinement of said models.

As of today, this whole iterative cycle takes years, if it is ever closed at all.

I discovered Richter when I listened to Mussorgsky's Pictures of an Exhibition on an old LP. But I really understood Richter's boldness and genius when a friend of mine lended me a CD with Schubert's last piano sonata (D960).

Just listen to the way the first bars, containing the unforgettable opening theme, are usually played by most of the best pianists:

- Brendel: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TKy0Lyl4g-s

- Uchida: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l7cc2FD06FM

- Kovacevich: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MAZ8PA5_gVA

And now listen to Richter's version:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbJtHzaFpBQ

This very slow tempo is extremely difficult from the point of view of the pianist, because it requires great control of dynamics and precision. However, it allows the listener to understand all the intricacies of the harmony and of the texture. I do not usually listen Richter's version because it requires deep concentration, but I can say I never really understood this piece until I heard Richter.

Happy birthday, Maestro!

That is quite fascinating. Billionaire pays millionaire rock star journalist and calls it charity. I wondered why it was that I never find anything meaningful in The Intercept.

The joke of content is the price of it, how much does it cost to keep the lights on really? Does it have to cost thousands for an article? I can understand this if you are writing a research paper on difficult science, but working out what happens in the world for real, can that only be done by people paid telephone number salaries?

Have you seen the graphs? There are 20 seconds intervals. They “fight” the plane, then something (the investigation is still on what) makes it worse again.

That’s what confused the pilots: the misbehavior repeats after they think the plane returned to normal.

That's wild, thanks! I tried with a couple of my pieces (although they do say "not polarimeter safe") and they did have some noticeable brightness gradients, though I hesitate to call them patterns.

What DID stand out looked like brown scorch marks or stellar jets/magnetic poles. I don't think they were really scorch marks, but it was striking just how brown that tiny area was.

Edit: got a picture but it's more of a red and blue interplay than just brown.

Maybe it's the rgb of the monitor. And I have seen similar colors in windshield polarization. It makes more sense if you rotate the glasses and watch the brown and blue flow through the patterns

My understanding is that the cogito isn't mere existence but that it is proof of mere existence.

A baby, like everything else in the world, is something you perceive through your senses and that you can thus never be sure really exists. Let's say that Descartes laid the premise for the Matrix.
We did a similar thing with System Shock 2 for ambient sounds/music. We had zone triggers which fed into a DSL for queuing up/randomizing/looping audio segments. I built the runtime on top of an existing virtual-machine style audio playback system which had been developed for flight sims, where it was used to stitch together voices for ground control. I was a fairly junior dev at the time, and IIRC I was not able to implement the requested cross-fading feature in time to ship. Fortunately, the silence between tracks worked pretty well with the desired atmospheric effect.
That's not good enough, though. I shouldn't have to have the same bank as my spouse. NOt all banks offer both partners value, nor should either give up long-standing accounts for this.

Imagine that murder was not illegal.
Imagine that instead of making it illegal, we complained to murderers that what they are doing is bad and they ought not to.
Then, we'd wonder why the crime rate isn't going doing.

The argument isn't about assigning blame. It's about criticizing society for not solving the problem. Complaining about lobbyists doing bad things is not an effective solution. Doing so shifts the dialog away from law implementation (solution-oriented and practical) towards what is "right" and "wrong" (vague, subjective, and doesn't lead to improvement).

The previous flight before the disaster actually made an emergency distress call to return back but after disabling the automatic system decided to continue onwards and did so with no further problems in the flight.

Pilots are given all this information and are meant to read it before takeoff but there is no way to enforce that.

Maintenance logs show the AoA vane was replaced, but Lion Air has a sketchy history with maintenance and what's written in the logs doesn't always reflect the reality, they are one of the cheapest airlines in the world and need to keep planes flying. I'd say that's likely the root of the issue combined with pilots not following the procedure books when faced with anomalous behavior.

https://www.airlineratings.com/news/lion-air-plane-fault-fou...
With respect, I believe you are viewing this in far too simplistic a manner.

Let's take engine failure. When you're training twins, you're going to get one of the engines pulled on you quite a bit -- usually when you least expect it. That's because a lot of people died educating the industry to how important it is to be able to handle engine failure in all flight modes: takeoff, climb-out, cruise-climb, and so on. That reaction sequence has to be drilled into pilots to such a degree that there's no thinking involved.

But runaway trim? Seriously? Sure, you'll get the training, but in all modes of flight? Drilled into you until you can handle it in your sleep? No way. That's preposterous. We _thought_ we knew that those kinds of problems don't happen at weird times to cause people to die. So if you're flying along in cruise and you've got a runaway trim, somebody does a mental lookup -- which might take 3 or 4 seconds -- locates the breaker, then throws it. We do this other type of training a lot too, but there are tons of subsystems on your average commercial airliner. We don't train for that the way we train for engine failure. We've got huge reams of checklists in commercial cockpits dedicated to this kind of slower problem-solving.

So yes, in both cases a person could argue that training was either not given or not implemented by the crew. But that ignore the realistic limitations of trying to train crews on modern equipment. You simply can't do some kind of weird cross-tab grid where everything is trained everywhere and to the same degree. At some point the human factor has to come into play. People aren't robots. It looks like these accidents happened on takeoff/climb-out, one of the most busy and complex things a crew can do (not near the complexity of hand-flying the various instrument approaches, of course).

You gotta ask yourself: if I'm watching my turbine numbers, my airspeed, looking for traffic, the copilot's talking to the pax, and so forth? Would I catch a runaway trim right away? More to the point, if I missed it, would the ensuing chaos, _in some cases_ prevent me from being able to cognitively switch back to diagnostic mode? After all, we teach pilot when all else fails, fly the plane first. Add to that systems like MCAS that might exist in the software that the pilots are unaware of?

If these accidents turn out to be MCAS/runaway trim related, I would be interested in learning about the crew environment when it happened, specifically other issues taxing the pilots and whether or not the flight director was engaged.

So yes, sure. You can train your way out of this. At some point, however, you have to ask if the cost we're paying in lives is worth the lessons we're learning which all seem to boil down to "people are cognitively limited in many ways"
