Maybe. The art of war may be a good candidate as well. It is all games of power in the end. The only twist in modern dealings is that you have to maintain an identity of innocence while doing nasty things, but I guess deception like this has always been a key part of warfare. We just have a greater focus on the innocence game than ever before. Then again, there has always been questions of piety and alignment with the greater good. Things just look different now, but they are the same old games. It's like we are adding different numbers and claim it to be entirely different from previous calculations, but in the end it's the same game, just different characters.
What beginner's mind is like
Trump may have won the election, but a lot of people supported Bernie Sanders as well. And the blowback the Republicans got from their own constituents after trying and failing to sell a repeal of the ACA happened, mostly, because no one but the independently wealthy and corporate interests wants to see it replaced with nothing but the free market.

And when Republicans don't even trust Republicans with healthcare, it suggests a massive failure of messaging on their part.
I wonder about that, too, although I'm "only" 45. I still have tons of people pinging me with new job offers, and they don't look like the sort of job offers that they're going to offer a 25-year-old. Regardless, I put a lot of effort into making sure that they need me more than I need them.
This has been true for a long time. Radar can't differentiate between a wall, a stopped car, or a dead skunk. Heck, it can get confused with a bridge's shadow on a bright day. Thus autopilot has to be configured to deal with these situations: stop or run into them. The vast majority of the situation you don't want the car to stop, as that will lead to a more dangerous situation and increase the chance of a collision.

It's one of the many situations that show that "autopilot", particularly Level 4 and Level 5, have a very, very long way to go. Also, as the reddit thread discusses the psychology of autopilot, this is why I don't want self-driving cars yet. Humans are horrendous at paying attention when they aren't directly in control. Airlines have been dealing with this problem for decades. Tesla has even started calling their services "driver assist" instead of autopilot to help combat this problem.

And yes, many people use autopilot without a problem every day, but you have to remember that it only takes one single miss to kill you (see: driver killed by ramming into a lane divider on autopilot).
Many people would've seen and signed off on this fix, not just one engineer.
Looking for a new CEO
Strange - they filter out Millennial-typical life choices, and find that those that make the same choices as other generations, make the same car choices too.

But Millennials are less likely to marry, and more likely to live in urban areas. Those people are truly buying fewer cars, and they are the majority.

SO what does this 'study' mean, actually? On the face of it, the title is an outright falsehood.

Every time unions come up here on HN, this is a common sentiment. I just confuses the hell out of me, too.

Unions got fat and lazy, but a recent SCOTUS ruling[1] will very likely change that. No longer can unions force employees to be part of it. Until that ruling, there was no accountability. Now, the bad unions will need to be more responsive to their membership.

Btw, this SCOTUS battle was billed as conservative vs liberal, but I'm liberal and I welcomed this decision. I think it is the best thing to happy to unions in a long time. It could have the opposite effect that conservatives want, which is to make unions more responsive to their members and more effective in doing what they are supposed to do.

I never installed Google Podcasts on my Android device. I just tried searching for BBC Podcasts on my Android and I didn't even get a link to play anything on Google Podcasts. My results were mainly Wikipedia pages and the homepages of the podcasts themselves on bbc.co.uk, and even BBC's Sounds website, which they claim Google is hiding.

This not news. This has existed from the first iteration of Tesla Autopilots. That is why there where crashes with stationery vehicles for Tesla.
This is shortcoming for using only cameras or any vehicle that has adaptive cruise control.
The problem is that the front camera cannot distinguish from the road and a stationery vehicle. For that, they are the same and they ignore stationary obstacles. If they where taken into consideration, then they would not work at all.

This is where Lidar comes in but at its current price, or at price that Tesla was designing its system it was too expensive.

I am not entirely sure that pure cameras will ever be enough

Seems like many people are not familiar with openresty off which kong is based.

https://openresty.org/en/

Kong is like an enterpise version of openresty, i.e nginx turbo-charged with luajit.
A lot of really cool and performant things can be built on top of it.

At a previous place we wanted to implement an auth & rate limiting ingress to a consul based service discovery.

We looked at kong but in the end rolled our own using openresty.

No one on the team really liked the ”centralised” approach used by kong.
It’s probably preferred in an older schooled enterprise setting tho (awesome project non the less!)
Yes early versions of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTEMS

Apple’s podcast app may have a fancy storefront for discovery but is fundamentally just a normal, not special at all RSS based podcast playing app that works exactly as podcasts were intended to.

Google have smooshed their player into google web search results so that you will probably visit Google’s podcast player instead of going to the content producer’s website.

Apple: normal podcast player app.

Google: abusing their search monopoly.
From comments I've read, abysmal, in the sense the Quality people are told they aren't there to keep the plane from falling out of the sky, but rather to generate audit trail so that if a disaster happens, the cause is traceable.

My personal approach to Software QA is generally more in line with the role fulfilled by a Systems Engineer, so I'm intensely uncomfortable having read Quality may be culturally interpreted in such a perverse manner.

Funny thing about Quality is you find exactly what you look for. Start out making a system that only suffers traceable disasters, and you get a different product than one which focuses on not suffering disasters in the first place.
It was just too expensive
If there’s a way to write them without the occasional browser-specific bug, I’d sure like to know what it is.
It's the old problem where the decision makers never use what they buy. I hear that's also the problem with a lot of medical software.
When I said "calling out", I meant responding to a post here, not doxing someone or stalking them on other platforms.

If people started posting blatantly racist things here, should we not say anything?
Managers, POs, and CEOs are responsible for preventing this by:

- hiring people who'd know not to do it

- creating processes for more than one security expert to review security patches

- requiring the testing of patches against real-world workarounds

- allotting the time and budget necessary for all of the above
Yeah, with the way it's phrased, it's a trick question.
My college statistics textbook had an entire problem set where every question was dedicated to a bad or misleading chart from "USA Today". These are mild in comparison, but it's important to get visualizations correct, given how powerful they are at communicating ideas and concepts.
The 3 words are because 2 words doesn't give you enough bits of enumerated data. The words aren't to be thought of as X,Y,Z, they're just 3 blobs of bits, where each word represents something like a 0-200,000 range or something.
> Universities are businesses. They sell qualifications. Their customers are students.

No, sorry. That's wrong, and quite an impoverished way to look at institutions of learning (and many other institutions besides).

The "universities" that think as you describe, the for profit colleges, are an unmitigated shit show. Almost all American universities that are worth the name are either explicitly non-profit or literally part of the government. They're not businesses, and for them to act like businesses is a mistake on many different levels.

> The example of Data Science is telling

Data science is not a purely academic discipline, which was such an important qualifier in my original comment that I italicized it. There's plenty of industry jobs for those skills, so those programs can follow a different path.

It's often not a conscious decision to adopt a "996" schedule but just happens anyway in Chinese tech firms.

I remember visiting the Alibaba campus some time ago and they had devs sleeping in tents in the office at 8pm on a weekend. Their boss proudly told me that he was making them all stay to have them finish a feature he wanted shipped the following week.
this article addresses that. i had the same opinion up until read the article
Making Conda Fast Again
Same here. That's how I learned it as well. That said, I didn't really "get it" until I was well into the class. I still remember that "aha moment" very vividly, even though it was in 1992 or so. I was sitting at a table in the school library working on a problem about a pool being emptied while it was raining and my brain said "Holy crap! This is just about how fast things are changing!". With all of the proofs, graphs, etc. things were never put into such a simple statement.

The end result of months of flailing followed by the "aha" was a grade of C for the class AND being the only one to get a 5 on the AP test.

EDIT: As a fun corollary, I really hated Calculus class in high school. Ironically, I ended up getting a Masters in EE, so I ended up spending the next several years doing Calculus in > 50% of my courses.

EDIT EDIT: Also fun to note was that Calculus was only offered to Seniors at the time and required 4 years of math beforehand: Algebra, Geometry, Advance Math, and Trigonometry. That meant you had to double-up on math in either Sophomore or Junior years, which basically limited class size to a small handful of people.
We can "No True Scotsman" this all day long.

It is bad management to hire incompetent engineers.

It is bad management to fire competent engineers that push back.

It is bad management to make employees feel as though they would be fired for standing up in any way to management.

Take away the rhetorical shortcuts, and responsibility still always falls at the feet of the ones that have the power to make the decision. As long as engineers are hierarchically bound to obey managers upon pain of sudden and unplanned unemployment, the managers are ultimately responsible for everything the company does. If the company does not have tenured engineers that have stop work authority, the managers are fully to blame. And if they do, management still might be partially at fault.

We have this headcanon where a competent engineer could stand up, sweep away the slide deck on screen with a wave of the hand, and offer ironclad mathematical proof that the quick fix is no fix at all, and that the long, painful, but correct fix is what is Right for the Company (tm). The manager would then do the slow clap and tell that engineer to fix it right this time. It is a fantasy that is a great comfort to those of us doing maintenance work on a massive crock of shit, making the payments on technical debt that we are expressly forbidden from making any attempts to retire. But it is a fantasy. A real manager would cut the engineer off in mid-proof and say that the quick fix is happening, and that would be the end of the story.

The only way for an engineer that is "at will" and without a contract to push back is by falling on their own sword. They can quit, at great cost to themselves, to create a very minor inconvenience to the company, who will end up doing what it wanted anyway.

Being in this situation myself, you're damned right I have no responsibility for the crap code that goes out, because I have almost no autonomy in the manner in which I do my job. I cannot work outside the scope of the maintenance tickets I am assigned. And my company rents me out by the hour to the customer, so it has negative incentive to allow me to build up infrastructural capital that would allow me to do the same work in less time. I will blame management all day long, and then a bit more on evenings and weekends.
You are offended by an unsupported claim, and proceed to make an opposite unsupported claim. Now I'm offended not by your assertion, but by your lack of substance.

I googled for "extremism murder statistics": This is only the US [1], and I have not looked at methodology, but it supports GPs claim, not yours. Please discuss, but do so using substance, not master suppression techniques.

The aerospace industry OTOH, I don't miss.

At least three people ITT have said something similar to this. Can you elaborate about what is so bad about working as a software developer in the aerospace industry? Or would that require breaking all sorts of NDAs?
If you read the parent post and think "bad management" I don't think the message was clear.
There's multiple glaring problems with your example, but the main issue for the economy is that Peter the poor spends a much larger proportion of his income as a necessity to survive.

Society as a whole benefits from Peter the poor paying proportionally less in taxes because Roy the rich simply does not consume the same proportion of his income (let's keep in mind, that in real life, Roy is 100,000 times richer than Pete, not 10x). Taxing Roy proportionately more is not only the ethical thing to do, but also the rational thing to do if you want a strong economy.

These policies aren't about what you find fair, they're in place because they are what make society prosperous.
I've built an open source alternative, 3geonames.org.

The code is made up of 3 Geonames, with the first Geoname being the most prominent location name in relation to actual geography, for eg:
https://3geonames.org/LONDON-ISUKI-LIPNITA .

The 140k Geonames have a phonetic distance of at least 1 from each other. Support for elevation and an app with voice geocoding is coming soon.
As usual, the parody is strictly superior to the original.
AIUI Ada is case-insensitive so there's nothing preventing you from using snake_case instead, even when referencing external identifiers. Pascal_Case is purely a matter of visual style.
Do you know why they changed? Was it performance, or just that more people had familiarity with C than Ada?
Because they couldn't fit larger landing gear.
That -apart from being a brilliant idea- seems to be easy to replicate in open source software. Replicate not in being compatible but as a different system altogether. Or has that already happened?
Yet isn't this addressed by the "dumb" collision avoidance system found in many premium cars?

This is a deficiency in several automatic emergency braking systems [1]. Tesla extracts as much signal from front facing radar as they can, but edge cases abound.

Marketplace or Planet Money had a piece a few weeks ago that mentioned the hardest problem was consumer education about these safety systems. People are inherently not interested in learning about the life safety systems in their cars. They expect it to “just work”. Whose failing is it if warnings clearly state that isn’t the case?

“The car companies don't hide the fact that today's AEB systems have blind spots. It's all there in the owner's manuals, typically covered by both an all-encompassing legal disclaimer and explicit examples of why the systems might fail to intervene. For instance, the Camry's AEB system may not work when you're driving on a hill. It might not spot vehicles with high ground clearance or those with low rear ends. It may not work if a wiper blade blocks the camera. Toyota says the system could also fail if the vehicle is wobbling, whatever that means. It may not function when the sun shines directly on the vehicle ahead or into the camera mounted near the rearview mirror.”

No, and I'd advise people not too. Unions had a purpose, and sadly still do in some isolated instances, but tech (professional work in general) is not one of them. I say sadly because businesses should have matured to the point by now to make unions unnecessary, and employees should have evolved further to see the problem. But some business/industries have a lot of bad actors and the union does fill part of a need, but it isn't what employees think it is.

I have dealt with unions as a leader, I have dealt with a union trying to unionize employees that worked in my teams and I have dealt with union based employees in a plant and non-unionized employees in a different plant within the same company. Guess who got better benefits and pay? Wasn't the union employees, too much money had to go to pay the union dues, legal fees and unnecessarily inflated benefits, so we would fight every penny and ask on that side. And yes some states in the U.S. have rules around union employees can't be paid less than non-union doing similar jobs, but trust me large corporations know how to work those rules properly.

While I have lots of opinions based on my experiences, in the end what I learned is that unions are honestly not there for the employee, they are there to raise employee wages/benefits so that the union can collect more in fees (generally a percentage of total compensation, so salary + benefits). The sad fact is they honestly don't care about you, your family or making it better, they get paid more by making the business pay more wages whether the market and work demand it or not.

There was a good reason unions existed in the past, and I am a fan for their reasoning at the time, not today. They are now nothing more than a big business putting their hands in your pocket to take money from you. By the way, did you know in many states, if your fellow employees unionize but you opt out that you can still be forced to pay union dues? Yea, this has been litigated in the recent past and some states changed that law, but just beware of what you ask for or support.
neither Kong nor its infrastructure (i.e. nginx) have any future on the long term against envoy. Simply time is against them even if it is going to be very slow downfall.

Every radar cruise control system comes with a warning that it can't detect stopped traffic. This seems like a case of RTFM.

The Belgian military policy has never been an aggressive one (modest-sized country and army), yet SEAD missions are.

Because the gear has to be stowed!

The gear is retracted inboard, so lengthening was a non starter given the rapidly escalating hardware changes that would be required to the gear bays.

Once you start changing the fundamental structure of the air raft, you also start weakening your case for a common type certificate as well.
You both are correct, that's the sad part - being poor is hard, and the margins for mistake/accident/bad luck are often razor thin.

But oh boy do I see tons of self-destructing, borderline stupid behavior among predominantly poor from where I come from - alcohol, cigarettes, taking shark loans for unnecessary 'luxuries', and the list goes on and on.

I think horses beat the f-35 in jousts. Dogfights are WWII style of fighting. Modern fighting is done from 50 miles away with missiles, where the f-35 had significant advantages. I still think the plane is an example of design by committee.
You mean the rate? The total is very unlikely to ever decrease.
I don’t think so. My understanding is that this is completely intended (and documented) behavior in Teslas and all other makes with this feature. Correct me if I’m wrong, but no adaptive cruise control systems perform full emergency breaking or emergency swerving when traveling at high speeds.

Here’s an an article from last year:

As other users have pointed out metrics is probably part of this but I suspect there's also a matter of music licensing. The Sounds app has more music documentaries where they keep the music in (BBC podcasts tend to strip it out) as well as curated playlists of music. Securing licenses to broadcast copyrighted content on-line and in perpetuity has for a long while been a huge deal for the BBC and forms at least part of the reason why much of their huge back catalogue of TV and radio remains unavailable (source: I used to work there (caveat: ~7 years ago so this may be out of date)).
But then the motor could break, and so it goes. The more moving parts around you have, the more failure modes you have.
