>Users think of their files as having concepts associated with them. e.g. "this file is a photo, about my vacation, and is about scuba" or "this file is a book, about scuba"

Why would someone think of files like that? I don't organize physical objects that way. My books are on my bookshelf and my pictures are in albums or frames. Why would a computer be different. I wouldn't store a book about scuba diving with or relate it to my vacation pictures of me scuba diving in any way in real life, why would I do this on a computer?

If I had a collection of books on my computer and pictures from my vacations it would be stored the same way I would do it in real life, keep the books together organized however and keep the pictures together organized however. The topics of my vacation pictures and my books have really nothing to do with eachother, even if they happen to be related.

What you describe sounds like the very opposite of how i'd want my files organized.
Whiteboard interviews are generally supposed to test understanding of abstract concepts that form the basis of most programming languages, rather than something specific.

An IDE isn't going to help you with an effective whiteboard interview question. If someone is asking you about specific APIs in a whiteboard interview, they're likely doing the interview wrong.

Still, introducing 10k new millionaires will make a difference. How many multi-million dollar homes are potentially for sale?

Also consider that if someone is selling one such home, unless they're leaving the area or offloading an investment property, they're likely trading up (which means there's not a net change in the number of available multi-million dollar homes.
> They're not getting any ad revenue from me, so why am I stuck with their recommender that only cares what it thinks will cause me to spend the most time on YouTube.

I can think of two reasons.

1. If YT recommends good content to people, and make them watch YT more, they are more likely to keep paying the monthly subscription fee. So I'm not sure that the recommender is completely useless for their subscription business. I do agree that for subscribers, the weight of engagement metrics should probably be lowered in favor of user satisfaction or some other metrics.

2. YouTube is an extremely complex system developed over many years, and it's very expensive and error-prone to try and change anything. For many years, it was monetized through ads; so it was designed around that goal. The monthly subscription is relatively new, and it's still probably a tiny fraction of the ad revenues, so many features of YouTube are just left untouched even when they don't make much sense for monthly subscribers.
Okay, fine. Then Apple should go out and copy any modern ultra-book and throw away the keyboard design they currently have.

I personally think my 2015 Macbook keyboard feels pretty good. I also spend a heck of a lot more time typing on my Macbook than one-handing it, so the whole "thinness matters more than usage/responsiveness/reliability" thing doesn't really make sense to me as a tradeoff. I can't think of single time I've ever pulled out my Macbook and thought, "this keyboard isn't cutting it anymore."

But even if we decide that 2015 keyboards are all rubbish, other keyboards on other laptops being sold today do not have so many problems that users have literally written software to combat them by suppressing keystrokes. I don't care what design Apple regresses to or who they want to copy, but they need to start copying someone.

To my mind, it's pretty obvious that this is a architectural problem with the core design of butterfly keyboards. After multiple generations of the same problem, it doesn't look like it's a manufacturing defect or an anomaly. It looks like the butterfly keyboard is just plain and simple bad design. Apple wants to talk about being brave, they should be brave enough to throw out the keyboard and put in something else, even if that something else is just a carbon copy of a standard, modern ultrabook keyboard. I understand that the butterfly keyboard was very hard to build, and I'm very impressed with the tech that went into it, but if you want to make an exceptional product you have to be willing to occasionally kill your darlings.
multimeters of this sort cannot accurately measure such low voltages and amps since they by design inject low amounts of their own battery power into the system and measure what comes back.
Fascinating video. Youtube suggested as the next video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DKrcpa8Z_E and that one has at 2:52 what seems to be a maintenance vehicle placed over the same rails as the robots, so that might explain how the maintenance crew can do its job (the one in the video is labeled "Recovery 04", so my guess is that the main purpose of this one is to allow maintenance workers to rescue stuck robots).
I won't say you're wrong, the losses are small. But I guess they remind me of other technologies in the past that were by themselves incremental improvements, but as cost came down and they were put together with other incremental improvements, our capabilities advanced significantly & in ways we may not have expected.

For one, I think bearings wearing out is the main failure mode of most electric motors.
Apple doesn't release products that have no distinguishing features other than "made by Apple in Cupertino". Accessories without distinguishing features they prefer to just work with third parties on (such as Belkin). In fact, I'd wager that this particular Belkin charger was done in cooperation with Apple: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HLZ42/belkin-boost-up-spe...
To be fair, the partitioning UX in both the FreeBSD and Debian (possibly linux in general) is scary.
I’m a huge OCaml fan, but really it lacks a lot of things that you get out of the box with the runtimes of other languages. Multi core support is the most obvious one.

It’s definitely great for things like compilers, though. But I wouldn’t necessarily use it for a Web server.
A few thoughts:

- You can currently rent a house in SF for less than 50% of what the ownership costs would be. That offsets equity gains significantly. To the tune of $60,000 per year on a $1M home. If you make $250,000 in equity gains in 5 years, you've basically broken even with renting (the $50,000 accounting for paying down principle).

- What you said is what everyone was saying in the early 2000's before the housing crash. "You'd be stupid not to jump in when prices are going up so fast!" That said, I don't think SF is the same situation.

- Until you lock in that 500K in home equity on your current home by selling it, I wouldn't assume it's given.

I don’t get mad about what YouTube does either (although maybe I would if I was a YouTuber). I do get irritated when people tell me I’m a bot, Russian troll... for honestly stating my opinion (which I don’t think is even radical).
The issue is that demand isn't from 'households'. It's from REITs, speculators and foreign capital.

I would love it if you could forward a source for this statement. Speculators I understand, and they are out there and every down turn burns a bunch out. But REITs and Foreign Capital is less clear. There was a big "the Chinese are buying all the houses" narrative that went around on Nextdoor and elsewhere so we analyzed the County Assessors data base of tax assessments to try to identify how many homes were owned by companies vs individuals. Only a small percentage of homes were owned by corporate entities. But that was just one county so if people have done this in their county and come up with different results it would be great to see them.
It's hilarious that there are ultimately three overlay ads obscuring the text of that article.
The most famous example has to be that the iPhone was introduced with a plastic screen, but after Steve Jobs noticed how easily it scratched, they changed to a glass screen.

I can’t find it now. But Apple even had a press release that they were changing to a glass screen.

Frequentist stats just aren't that useful for experimental results because they don't tell folks what they need to know. Even ignoring that, researchers understanding of even basic concepts like P-values is so bad that one might as well throw out everything, baby and all. In one survey [0], 94% of Spanish academic psychologists believed in some form of the inverse probability fallacy. A similar survey in Italy showed similar results.

Anecdotally, I can definitely say that the vast majority of American physical scientists I've talked to about this also fell prey to this. With the inverse probability fallacy, one attaches a Bayesian interpretation to P-values, so I don't think training scientists in Bayesian stats would be harder than getting them to use frequentist stats correctly (which is a minefield in comparison).

My method to learn most things (mostly applies to technical subjects learned as a hobbyist in my case):

1. Grab all the textbooks I can find on Libgen on the topic.

2. Read tables of contents to get a high level view of the main components of the subject and the scope of what you want to learn.

3. Start reading (I usually skip introductions too) from the textbook that looks most appealing/authoritative (cross check on Amazon, or curricula from well known universities, but sometimes even the design of the textbook can make it more motivating/easy to consume, e.g. I hate most "modern" textbooks that have 25 random boxes of text per page — very confusing reading experience).

4. Keep going until you get confused/tired.

5. If still motivated/have enough energy, see how other books cover the same topic to see if it's clearer.

6. If you're too tired to read, try Youtube videos covering the topic.

7. Sleep.

8. Repeat, start over from where you feel you have good command of the topic.

The two posters before this are exactly why people are so riled up about censorship (calling it what it is. Just cuz someone dislikes the speech doesn't warrant removal of the right to speak.)

Basically you have people that demand others be censored. That they don't deserve to speak freely. And they'll come up with all these mental gymnastics as to why other people's speech isn't acceptable. And for most of us we understand that the first amendment is the most important and that's not acceptable.

Just look thru the last 2 years of left leaning websites. Anyone who claimed trump was innocent (clearly...) was a "bot, troll or brigader" and ought to be censored because it was "hate speech".

A world where we censor is a dark world. There's a reason free speech was right number one in this country.
It used to be scary on debian, but there's now a non-scary one starting from the etch release (Debian 4.0). The new UI is quite clear and comfortable to use, even in the "expert" mode.
It's a little disingenuous to not mention that they subsequently published a retraction and an apology: https://www.economist.com/open-future/2019/03/28/inside-the-...

I'm not in ideological lockstep with them on many topics, but that sort of journalistic integrity is one of the things that distinguishes them from plenty of rags that are purely motivated by partisan ideology.

Most modern tanks are vulnerable to shaped charges (and other effective penetrators) anywhere but the front and maybe turret sides, a fact exploited by smart submunitions that do top attacks, and can be delivered quickly over long ranges by artillery shells or rockets. This is probably much cheaper per charge and more tactically useful (one launcher covers a wider area with equal response time) than kamikaze quadcopter drones.
“Certainly this is no time for any of us to stop thinking about the social and economic problems which are the root cause of the social revolution which is today a supreme factor in the world.

For there is nothing mysterious about the foundations of a healthy and strong democracy. The basic things expected by our people of their political and economic systems are simple. They are:

- Equality of opportunity for youth and for others.

- Jobs for those who can work.

- Security for those who need it.

- The ending of special privilege for the few.

- The preservation of civil liberties for all.

- The enjoyment of the fruits of scientific progress in a wider and constantly rising standard of living.

These are the simple, basic things that must never be lost sight of in the turmoil and unbelievable complexity of our modern world. The inner and abiding strength of our economic and political systems is dependent upon the degree to which they fulfill these expectations.

Many subjects connected with our social economy call for immediate improvement.

As examples:

- We should bring more citizens under the coverage of old-age pensions and unemployment insurance.

- We should widen the opportunities for adequate medical care.

- We should plan a better system by which persons deserving or needing gainful employment may obtain it.

I have called for personal sacrifice. I am assured of the willingness of almost all Americans to respond to that call.

A part of the sacrifice means the payment of more money in taxes. In my Budget Message I shall recommend that a greater portion of this great defense program be paid for from taxation than we are paying today. No person should try, or be allowed, to get rich out of this program; and the principle of tax payments in accordance with ability to pay should be constantly before our eyes to guide our legislation.

If the Congress maintains these principles, the voters, putting patriotism ahead of pocketbooks, will give you their applause.

In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.

The first is freedom of speech and expression — everywhere in the world.

The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way — everywhere in the world.

The third is freedom from want — which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants - everywhere in the world.

The fourth is freedom from fear — which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor — anywhere in the world.

That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation.”

— FDR
You need to do some actual listening to the people you've listed. Idk all of them but the ones I do aren't hate speech at all. You're being played by propaganda homes.
> Yet I know that even if you aren't suffering grinding poverty being RELATIVELY poor on a local basis is really hurtful and isolating. It destroys you socially. You can't do what your peers can do and have to stay home. It makes you less attractive to the opposite sex. It hurts your quality of life. It limits your ability to change this. It makes it so merit becomes less and less connected to success.

I understand and this is a good point.

I have further anecdotes from being friends with an African American kid who lived in the government housing area in my town -- which I visited on occasion. Even though these people lived in decent houses, with all their basic needs being met by the state, there was a dramatic feeling of depression and anger there. What did their future look like? They didn't feel like they had any way to work within the system, so they turned to degenerate preoccupations. When you feel like the system "isn't fair," you are inclined to say fuck the system. This impacts African American's the most because not only do they see the system "isn't fair" today, but that it was really not fair in the past. The fact that it has improved dramatically isn't a saving grace for many.

I understand some of the problems of inequality, but I can't imagine it ever being different. Equality is in line with my morality, but I'm not a dreamer. Humans aren't angels. I do believe we could win the fight for securing the basic necessities of life as a right, but equality is a utopian fantasy. There is a certain level of suffering we must accept as being an unavoidable consequence of our nature.

I remember the Alphas in the computer lab at school. They seemed nice enough but didn't seem that much faster than the Pentium chip in my personal computer and put out a lot of heat. Given the price of them vs. a Pentium 100 with FreeBSD it really was the end of days for the Unix Workstation.
It shouldnt matter. But that dream is for another paradise edition of earth yet to come.

Its really difficult to find out wether a piece of clothing was a personal choice or something chosen/force upon a person to define in and outgroups. Basically, it boils down to detecting a thought-crime against open society.

> The fundamental assertion of capitalism is that capital should beget capital.

This quote explains just half the story. The half of the story being: "success".

Pray tell me how is wealth created by labor without someone investing the necessary capital required to begin with? It is not like the labor worked for free.

The "wealthy" laboured at one point to earn that capital. They just "chose" to invest their hard-earned capital wisely which helped them beget more capital. Upto that point, your assertion holds true.

There are many who were "wealthy" who made blunders when they did not invest their capital wisely and lost it all. Would the fundamental assertion of capitalism "capital should beget capital" hold true in this case? And for all the Zuckerbergs, Jobs and Gates out there, there are a million more who failed. Those million are proof that the fundamental assertion of "capital should beget capital" is false.

The only assertion that fits Capitalism is "Survival of the fittest". I can live with that!

That the police trust a system with such flaws to an extent that they are willing to kill for it is troublesome.

Importantly, the man killed was not the intended target; The swatter effectively pressed pandora's button.

I'm not a consultant, and I'm not sure if this is illegal/not allowed in some way, but I can imagine taking a business contact out for a $200 dinner and leaving some nice chocolates at the end of the contract is a good way to squeeze out some referrals or ensure repeat business.

A former employer implemented this in the 2009/2010 time frame. We were at that point an old software company with mature products, lots of process, custom internal tools, and very separate product management, support, development, and QA. The various category ratings had some data input, but were done by hand, so a person was always directly involved. We used user pain for maybe a year before the company adopted scrum and began migrating to entirely new tools/process; user pain was not retained.

My recollections are that we found lots of room for disagreement over whether something was a particular number on one of the scales, and depending on the bug and personalities involved these arguments could last a while. It was straightforward to game the scale to make particular issues show up with a high or low pain, regardless of how many customers actually reported it (if any - unfortunately user pain does not include a 4th 'imagination' rating).

One development manager told me he really liked User Pain because it was straightforward to make defects reflect a low pain number such that they could just be ignored.

It was a short experience, but I don't think I would want to implement user pain again unless the category ratings were entirely data-driven and automated. I don't think this method is useful if you leave the ratings up to people.
Indeed; they made tabs work similarly a long time ago (tabs do not resize when you close a tab until you move your mouse away) and this made closing tabs so much better. Infinite scrolling on sites is so painful when using the scrollbar.
