This definitely seems like an Apples to Oranges comparison.

It is highly dependent on what your goal is / how you want to leverage either of those things.

A bit of perspective on B-school:
- The value is primarily in the network you get exposed to (students, professors, industry veterans, alumni etc). This is something that can help you throughout your life.
- It's also a great way to switch careers, to a certain extent, or even move up the corporate ladder (some companies even sponsor the MBA) -- both of these you can do without an MBA -- but may require a lot of hustle.
- In terms of classes/courses, I would argue that you can get access to 80-90% of the course material / learnings from online courses/MOOCs/blogs etc -- depending on what you are trying to learn.

However, the opportunity cost, especially if full-time, is crazy. It's basically 200K + 2 years of salary.

The Bloomberg terminal on the other hand, is something you can try/use for a year, while working and see if you are getting what you want out of it, and then continue or stop.

Once again, definitely dependent on what the end goal is.

Maybe it shouldn't be, but your comment is surprisingly cynical to me.

I don't believe share price is at the front of his mind, nor any of the engineers working at Boeing. I, for one, work for much more than a paycheck; I think it's reasonable to think they do too.

You could argue that it was at the front of their minds before these accidents, but IMO that conclusion only stands in confirmation of some bias against large corporations (which apparently is pretty common!)
We've had a small resurgence in support for protectionism in general recently, but outside the sugar industry, Olson didn't really predict the decades following 1982 very well, did he?
I'd rather trust a corporation providing some information over an individual providing absolutely nothing, especially when that corporation's information matches with my own internal information.

The reality is, if you're having problems with AWS, it's you, and not AWS, for 99.9999999% of your problems. Continuing to pretend it's AWS is a face-saving, ego protecting activity that no rational person plays part in.

I'm not versed in the terminologies. What I understood was told previously is that

In similar condition (nose down) in other plane just pulling the stick would work but with MCAS you have shut it down using some switch and just the stick won't work.

And now the report is saying even that switch doesn't work? That one MCAS goes bonkers there's essentially no recourse?
Because this report does not indicate a new problem, but rather the same one as before, which has already been accounted for in the stock price.

It's a truism of stocks that they move opposite of what you would expect when the final result comes in, and that's because they have already moved when news of whatever it is is released.

Eg: Company announces we will get 1 billion cash for free, stock goes up. when they actually get the cash, stock will go down.

Replace that scenario with whatever is making news about the company (mergers, new sales, personal changes, etc, etc).

Why give up _anything_ and not go to e.g. Google Brain or FAIR or MSR instead? All three labs have dozens of people of comparable caliber _each_.

Is finding an open newsagent/rail station really that big of a deal?

In Sweden (in Skåne at least, since the rail/bus solutions are all regional there) you have both options. You can buy your tickets on an app that you scan on the bus or train, or you can buy a smart card anonymously with cash when there is an open newsstand/rail station and use that to beep onto trains and buses. So if you go the anonymous route when you need to top up your smart card with money you can do it with cash from a kiosk in an automated machine 24/7, so long as there is a kiosk around (every rail station has them).

With a fair bit of planning it’s not too hard to stay completely credit-card and app free with this solution. You just have to make sure that you are near an open rail station/newsstand to purchase the smartcard initially (and I think even some of the grocery stores sell them) and then onwards have enough money on the smart card to get you to where you can top up from a kiosk. Given the rail coverage in Sweden it’s not too hard to do.

In Australia, it's quite common to give people your bank account number so that they can deposit money to it. Most commercial payments (company to company) work like that.

This is a moronic statement. Housing shortages are not about “greed taking over”, they are about not having enough housing.

Edit: sorry for being rude, but attitudes like yours make things worse because they get people fired up about about useless actions that appeal to their base emotions. For example, Berlin wants to spend 36 billion dollars changing the ownership of some housing instead of spending 36 billion dollars building enough for everyone. Landlords cannot charge high rents if there is enough housing to go around.

When I was younger, I'd agree. Was for sure a vidiot but now I don't play much. But programming is more compelling now than playing in someone else's skinner box.

I am fully invested in Julia but I have found it's far from being productive for large scale projects. It's hard to encode interfaces and invariants (in practice this is done by documentation instead of code) and code is not very self documenting.

I expect it to get there over the next years though. And it otherwise his a perfect sweet spot for us.
What is more likely? That Boeing is genuinely sorry for their enormous process failures (that others on HN have documented in great detail) to catch these product deficiencies earlier in the process, failures that have killed hundreds of people? Or the catastrophic financial losses they will suffer in the event they are forced to scrap the MAX?

I'm cynical because of Occam's razor, not because I want to be. I'd very much prefer not to be cynical, to tell you the truth.
To answer the other part of your question, DAML stands for Digital Asset Modeling Language. No relationship with ML (apart from its influence in functional programming, of course).

> see the "choosing the Christian position" as parallel to "choosing the atheist position". But my point is that, when you choose the Christian position, that defines morals for you. When you chooses the atheist position, that does not define morals for you

The parallel to "choosing the atheist position" would be "choosing the theist position," which would not define your morals either. From there, you can choose from a massive range of Christian positions which have different morals.
That’s not what I meant. I mean a background system pushing the nose down without any active control input from the pilot while autopilot is off.

Define runner. I skimmed the article and didn't see it. Maybe I missed it. Some runners train for long distances - marathons or longer. At the opposite end of the spectrum are the sprinters who train for a short burst of maximum speed. And there are competitions for many distances between these extremes. It wouldn't surprise me if difference between these extremes were as great or greater as those between runners and swimmers.
And S3 is where you store all your memories.
Are you just ignoring that the cloud isn't a the savior for everyone because it furthers your own agenda, either publically or personally? We spend the GDP of some nations with AWS yearly, so I guarantee you're not at our scale to see these sorts of issues that most definitely are not caused by us and are indeed issues with AWS as confirmed by our account rep.
What does the length of the method chain have to with anything? Let's say I define an interface Foo.bar.xyz with method call, and I call the implementation foo.bar.xyzimpl.method()

Everything is just as testable and decoupled, it's just a different project structure.

Method chains have nothing to do with the things you stated.
From the second part of your question, it sounds like you're focusing on the "wire," when your answer lies in focusing on the "fraud."

It can't be applied to "any activity done with electronic device[s]," unless that activity is to trick people into giving you money in exchange for a bogus or nonexistent product or service.

As in the text of the law in a sibling comment, the rules parallel "mail fraud," which is the same: if you send a magazine offering to sell someone a fancy tool kit for $200, and they send a check and you send a box of dirt, you've committed mail fraud.

If you do the same thing over the phone or internet, it's wire fraud.

In this case, the fraud went the other way: Apple says "if you bought a thing from us, you can return it," students say, "we bought this thing, please give me money back," but really, they didn't buy it, because this thing was a fake.

I'm not a lawyer, but I think it's the lying about the counterfeit nature of the item returned is what makes it a crime. Focusing on whether it's wire or mail or some other kind of fraud, or what other kind of device activity is covered under the statute, is not as relevant as the lying part.
You clearly don't travel much and try to navigate different public transit systems.

What you call "deduplication" is usually called memoization.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memoization

It only works for pure functions (functions which have no side effects). It is unaffected by concurrency for that reason. Idempotency doesn't come into the picture because the state of the world doesn't affect the return value.

Assignment is an operation with a side effect: it changes the state of the world (as well as possibly returning a value, depending on the language). So assignment of the same value more than once is idempotent only in single-threaded code. If there's more than one thread in play, you might find that assigning twice has a different result that assigning once.

So, the rule is that whenever the return value of a function can be cached (memoization or what you are calling deduplication) then it is implicit that the function has no side effects. There is no overlap between that category of functions and idempotent operations with side effects.

NB there is another meaning of idempotence which relates to function composition, e.g. abs(abs(x)) = abs(x). You can probably see that in that case idempotence refers to a single expression rather than the state of the whole program.

I don’t remember Perl losing mindshare around that time; quite the opposite.
I’m not sure I follow your argument on 2.

If people aren’t free to adjust their driving habits, congestion pricing merely raises the cost for them, because the time to commute doesn’t go down (appreciably) — everyone is still on the road at the same time.

It then effectively becomes a regressive tax: those least free to change their schedule are those in the lowest earning jobs, and hence those most coerced to pay the cost.

I’m not sure I believe that’s an effective way to raise money for government.

Ask HN: Seeking job search advice: companies in AI and Distributed Systems
Hi everyone,

Hoping to get some help for myself and perhaps this benefits others in similar situations.

My academic background is CS bachelors and masters (not PhD). I've spent past few years working on a distributed SQL engine; have enjoyed my work so far, but have been wanting to move to a different area for the past year or so. I'm in the process of changing my job, and I'm highly intrigued by the infrastructure part of AI/ML, and I'm trying to find companies/teams which work in this space (i.e. efficiently deploying and running AI/ML pipelines, algorithms at scale). I do have some academic background in ML (one grad course + internship about 7 years ago); I know things have evolved quite a bit, but I'm also confident that I'll be able to catch up fast.

Would you have any recommendations on companies or teams where I should explore opportunities? Thanks in advance!
Hah! I came here to quote the exact same sentence.

Love to smack the goof who decided a giant sad face is more helpful than dumping even some minimal diagnostics fine print.
I totally agree.

BTW, I'm having problems getting all the pictures rendered in my browser (Safari), but the ones I've been able to see are really inpirational.

I teach mostly (+95%) men in audio design studies at university level and women are painfully lacking in the field. It would certainly help make the field richer, more interesting, and more dynamic (not only for us men, but in general),if there was more gender diversity in tech in general and audio (this is where I see it the most because it's my domain) in particular.
The Bolt reliably sells ~20k units per year which is clearly lower volume than the Model 3, but still a decent clip. Probably 2 or 3 billion in EV sales + whatever the Volt's done?
And yet it often is. And, even when it isn't, knowing how much to pay can be hard.

The ideal system is one in which you use the "universal transit payment card" desired in the article to get on the transit system, then use it again to get off (if the transit system requires it - no all do), without having to give even a single thought to how much money you are spending.

When you have different payment cards/passes/tickets in different systems, you have to figure out not only how to buy those tickets, but how much to buy (so that you don't depart the area having vastly overbought - or so that you don't run out of loaded fare value before you end your trip).
I'm not trying to defend Boeing, I'm trying to understand if MCAS is actually needed in real life.

Reading the other comments it seems the answer is yes.

That said, it's unclear that a Max with MCAS is dangerous: the danger comes from pilots not being aware of it / trained for it. Which, again, doesn't disculp Boeing in any way.
My understanding is that pro counter-strike players also have to memorize and practice an obscene amount of nade throws these days just to be competitive since the physics are so predictable and things like flashbangs are so strong.
All these comments on the number of women in the photographs and "what happened to all the women in tech?" ... I'm just thinking the photographer was a man with a plan.

To go along with what you are saying, here is an example of model legislation that I would guess most HNers would support.

Reclaim Invention Act by the Electronic Frontier Foundation which prevents state funded universities from selling patents to trolls.

https://www.eff.org/reclaim-invention/legislation

Here you have an organization which cares deeply about an issue, using their resources to come up with a bill that they believe would solve it. I would not think a state legislature was abdicating their responsibility if they introduced legislation based on the EFF model. In fact, I would be a lot more comfortable than if they tried to come up with legislation starting from a blank slate.
You could have a trait similar to Copy that forces Drop to be a no-op, and require live values that don't conform to it to be moved into any `become`.
Microsoft workers shared sexual harassment stories on an internal email chain
Just because it’s relevent... although steam officially states that the account name is unchangeable; if you contact support with a good reason and get the right person they can and do change your account name to another free one of your choice.

I have uh personal reasons for having done this and I know of others who have as well.

I’m not sure why they don’t roll it out more wisely - though I can say it did cause a couple of bugs until I signed out and back in on every steam device.

Each steam account does have atleast 3 internal unchangable account numbers that are exposed through APIs for developers to integrate with and use for things such as enforcing bans etc.
Laws like this drive me nuts. Why isn't it simply fraud, full stop? Degrees of fraud are fine, depending on the egregiousness of the fraud. Special cases for the type of harm are fine (fraudulent phone vs fraudulent life-saving medication). Why the hell do we need "mail fraud" and "wire fraud"? It's just noise.

Is assignment even truly idempotent? Maybe for mathy systems, but not necessarily for programming languages. It would depend on the implementation of the language, and could, for example, introduce global side effects. It kind of depends on what you consider the "value" of the operation. The return value? The global state?

Even a classic GET request on a REST api, is only idempotent if you ignore the fact that the data changes over time.

I guess what I'm saying is, outside of formal systems, I think it's all deduplication.
Wow. This sub-thread is making the images of the grounded MAXs look a whole lot less like an overabundance of caution. If accurate this failure dynamic sounds more like some nasty boss at the end of an escape room game than standard fault diagnostics.
