Ask HN: Should I omit education on resume?
I’m graduating college in May with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. It doesn’t particularly interest me, I’d rather get an entry level CS job.

From past work, I’ve got a bit of coding experience. Maintenance on Rails apps, python scripts, C++ state machines, etc. Style wise; I put in detailed comments and use version control, etc.

How do I make my resume sound the most appealing to a company (preferably larger)? Most people see the mechanical engineering and immediately think I don’t know what a for loop does or how to use a command line. Should I put my education lower on resume? Not mention it at all? Say:”bachelor of science” and not mention major? I don’t want to lie or imply something that isn’t true, but I have no qualms leaving out details.
>we spell it psych and not sike.

I have been informed by someone a generation younger than me that "the kids" are intentionally spelling it "sike" these days.

Wikionary lists it as a variant of "psych."

Incredible, I had no idea.

Jot #2600: Zuckerberg's joke on us
The main thesis of the article was that high resolution measurements can sometimes obscure the pattern, and that scientific insight requires knowing what details to idealize away. The high resolution data showed the acceleration and deceleration of each stride. On the other hand, the graph based on the the coarser split times hides these bumps and allows for easier analysis using calculus.
This is something that continues to confuse me: what distinction do you draw between "not hearing out" and "dismissing very quickly"? It's not like none of us know what a white supremacist is -- we've all seen their rhetoric, have dismissed it, and no longer feel inclined to re-litigate the issue.

Put another way: you wouldn't, presumably, ask a physicist to critically re-evaluate the laws of thermodynamics each time they perform a calculation. Why are you holding ethicists to a higher (and progress-impeding) standard?

It looks like Boeing submitted MCAS at DAL C, using the rationale that it only mutates the stabilizer angle by a few degrees, so it can't be catastrophic. This was a terrible argument for two reasons:

1) It mutates it a few degrees at a time in a non-terminating loop, so it effectively has control authority of the entire stabilizer.

2) Even DAL C would require using more than a single input!

But then

Your second point is exactly the sort of reasoning that lands us in disagreement paralysis territory. Politics aside (though I suspect our politics are largely aligned) the people on the other side of the table, rightly or wrongly, feel the exact same way and feel just as strongly.

I don't know how to fix disagreement paralysis but I am all but certain it won't be fixed by refusing to listen to one another.
But it would be pretty easy to obfuscate the whole thing behind a few layers of "We've got 50 PhDs working here, we run black box algorithms" etc etc, the strategy could be artificially made a couple of orders of magnitude more complex while still producing the exact same outcome.

Don't worry, I understand that, and I know that's what OP was going for. My point is that OP didn't seem aware that it opened a vector of abuse for family/friends. A commenter mentioned:

> I appreciate the gesture you made, but you're exposing your friends and families to the random dregs of the Internet by giving away your account like that.

And OP responded with:

> That's kind of the point.

I don't think OP thinks the point is to expose friends to potential damage, just noise and nonsense unrelated to him. I was explaining that if that's what he wanted, he can "post noise" himself, as opposed to opening his account to the public internet to ensure the safety of his acquaintances.
Usually I test the end result. Or the commits are disjoint enough that I am confident that they don't interfere with each other.

They kind of can, via #include, but the configuration file has to be in a particular format and you're limited in what you can do with it.
This is sensible, but recall that Boeing is still claiming that the MAX flies like any other 737 and requires no special training. Adding a new button would require training in the use of that button.

That's a very cavelier attitude to take. Quite frankly that should have been baked in from the get go with tests to verify.

You see this situation as someone being a jerk. Someone could have accidentally done the same thing due to the lack of planning on multiple levels.

How not? The Chinese government locks them up, murders them, and harvests their organs because they disagree with the communist party. Sounds like pretty classic "authoritarian government vs minority group" to me.
This appears to be a better argument for excluding Saudi Arabia from the UN HRC than the position that all viewpoints are worth hearing.

> You don't have to be absolutely confident in any particular moral system to have an extremely high degree of confidence that all sensible moral systems tell us to treat LGBT individuals with basic dignity

This assumes that you know what "basic dignity" means. But that's what the disagreement in the case you mention (LGBT) is about. To people who fundamentally oppose LGBT-ness, LGBT people are making a serious ethical mistake, one that affects society as a whole, not just them as individuals, and treating them with basic dignity requires taking that into account.

> The point of an ethics board is, presumably, to work out the hard problems in ethics.

All problems in ethics are hard problems. Thinking that that isn't true, that there are some ethical questions that are so obvious that a board of AI ethics doesn't need to consider them, is itself, I would say, an ethical mistake.

That's not what the article says. The most likely situation from the article is the pilots:

* disabled the trim motor

* realized they were unable to trim back to level flight without it, probably due to aerodynamic load on the stabilizer

* turned it back on

* MCAS was still enabled -- it can't be disabled directly -- and used the trim motor itself to nose-down more, making the situation unrecoverable.
Managing Your Reputation as a Web Developer
It isn’t right, indeed. The “standard of proof” and the “burden of proof” are different things. The burden of proof is about who must prove or what must be proven; whereas the standard of proof is about how thorough that proof needs to be before we make a determination.

A lot of the controversy about stuff like “sealioning” or when to act on claims of irregular behavior is due to failing to distinguish burden of proof and standard of proof.

Yes this is a good point, and I like the way PG described it:

Languages evolve slowly because they're not really technologies. Languages are notation.

The Hundred Year Language http://paulgraham.com/hundred.html

That is, "notation" evolves a lot more slowly than "technology". One reason I can think of is that notation is communication -- it requires 2 sides to agree. So just like we're using ancient network protocols and OS interfaces (e.g. the Unix syscall interface), we're also using ancient programming languages.

Not addressing the main point but the aside - I like it when companies have a clear financial interest in solving a problem.

Sure I get the warm fuzzies when a company like Google circa 2005 does something to help people with nothing obvious to gain from it. But in my experience companies like Google circa 2005 tend to become companies like Google circa 2019. People acting in their own interest are reliable.

It’s when the other person wants to convince you, that they take on the burden of proof and need to present the evidence. They shouldn’t expect you to just believe them.

This is closely related to the fallacy of “argument from ignorance”.
Would it not make sense to instead of restrict all extraction put a number < what is extract up for sale each year at an exorbitant price in a highly regulated market?

Then you can fund conservation. It would create an economic incentive for protection, since all parties would want to keep the cash cow alive (instead of this being more of a PR issue, which is how conservation is treated)

In the US, much of national conservation came from hunting. Bullet taxes pay for it.

Prior to MCAS, most causes of trim runaway could be stopped by countermanding it with the control column, but, because MCAS is intended to avoid a pilot-commanded (though presumably accidental) stall, this is not the case for MCAS:

"[MCAS intervention] can be stopped by the pilot counter-trimming on the yoke or by him hitting the CUTOUT switches on the center pedestal. It’s not stopped by the pilot pulling the yoke, which for normal trim from the autopilot or runaway manual trim triggers trim hold sensors. This would negate why MCAS was implemented, the pilot pulling so hard on the yoke that the aircraft is flying close to stall." [1] [my emphasis.]

So it seems we may have several issues here:

1) Prior to MCAS, trim stab cutout was almost the last-ditch option against trim runaway (there was one more: grab the trim wheels and physically prevent it), but it became the only way to deal with an MCAS-commanded runaway (other than grabbing the trim wheel.)

2) Boeing did not reveal this prior to the inquiry into the Lion Air crash, despite the fact that it introduced a new experience of trim runaway that differed from what pilots had been trained to expect.

3) The Boeing / FAA response to the Lion Air inquiry was an Airworthiness Directive that basically said "pay attention to what we said before about handling trim runaway" (though, whether or not Boeing / FAA made a point of it, pilots may well have become aware of how MCAS runaway differed from their prior training -- that seems to be the case for the Ethiopian Airlines captain, who did use the cutout switches.)

4) No one seems to have connected the dots to realize that one cause of MCAS failure (AofA sensor failure) would also cause other problems, for which the prescribed mitigation procedure made dealing with the consequent trim runaway very difficult, especially when close to the ground.

I would be interested in learning, from one of the 737 pilots here, how frequently the 'grab the trim wheel' situation is presented in simulator training.
