I mean... that's literally their job. Hence why they get higher pay and more responsibility. The dictionary definition of manager includes "a person RESPONSIBLE for controlling or administering all or part of a company or similar organization". My job description, on the other hand, is simply to aid in implementing and developing the technologies I'm told to by my manager. If they tell me to implement something that is a concern, and I bring it to my manager, and they still tell me to do it then I have done my job and the responsibility of that issue is now on my manager
You're right. I should've put "For the most part" before the last paragraph.

When it comes to the moon landing or the ISS... Of course you can say that's because we're explorers. The moon landing was pure survival (don't let the commies win), ISS is research and maybe the researchers put in the effort for a sense of discovery but the money comes from governments and it flows mostly because of a promise of economic or military advancement.

I'm not a cynic in that regard. I love the architecture of religious monuments, I love the fact that we as a species achieved magnificent things like reaching the moon or discovering how black holes work. You can appreciate all of that without kidding yourself about where the money comes from.
It is socially acceptable to be cold and to wear warmer clothing to compensate, especially for women. It is not socially acceptable to be sweaty and smelly, and it is not acceptable for men to wear shorts (and often not even short shirts) in a business or formal setting.

The consequence of this is that it's better to err to the cooler side.

I completely agree with your point! It's so important for all of us to change our lifestyles, but nobody wants to trade in convenience for long-sightedness if they have the choice.

What makes me more angry than anything else are the obviously evitable things like the sprinkle pool in San Francisco's Museum of ice cream.

You sound like you're complaining, but your complaint may be incomplete. If those bullet points were honored, that is indeed how pretty much every organization doing development will operate, whether it likes it or not. That is not intrinsically a problem.

I take it these requirements documents were not honored by your non-developers? A document labeling scope as "moderately inflexible" does little if it's treated as written in stone.

You don't have to dig very far to find some stupid kids on Reddit going off on that "eat the rich" stuff - but the thing is, your "stupid kids" are their "horrible violent mob," and their "stupid kids" are your "horrible violent mob." In reality they're both a little bit violent and definitely both stupid. ;)

Social media and regular media both contribute to this perception because everyone wants to forget about their own bad associations and focus on the bad associations of others. So, if you want to find out about nationalists you read left-leaning publications and if you want to find out about radical-to-the-point-of-silliness leftists you have to read right-leaning publications.

>average they would do better the next year because of reversion to the mean.

I don't think it works like that. Students who do poorly often do WORSE the next year. They tend to get more and more behind and eventually just drop out.

The only way to reverse this trend is to identify them for more academic instruction, like an extra math or reading class.

Even then, it often doesn't work. It's really really hard to turn a low performing student into even an average one.

"Reversion to the mean" has no meaning when you are talking about one student from one year to the next.
Ask HN: My professor thinks he solved Riemann Hypothesis. how to validate it?
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/325035649_The_Final_and_Exhaustive_Proof_of_the_Riemann_Hypothesis_from_First_Principles

I am not a mathematical expert but few of the mathematicians we had access to have confirmed that this could be a possible proof.

So I wanted to ask how do we get this proof validated the by the larger scientific community?

Dr. Kumar has used the properties of primes and analytic continuation and had a new way of handling slowly converging series and was able to use (at the crucial point) concepts borrowed from Donald Knuth regarding random numbers and random sequences. Knuth had said that for any sequence to be truly random it has to be non-cyclic. The proof required to show that a sequence of +1's and -1's , obtained from the prime factorization of the infinite sequence of integers, had to be shown to be random and to asymptotically behave like the tosses of a coin.

Okay, sure. Not "just as" wrong since a certain class of pitfalls are eliminated by deep knowledge of your tools.

But I'd argue that that's not where the bulk of the uncertainty comes from. I think that in the software industry as a whole, most of the problems are solved by people with at least a decent understanding of their tools, and estimates still suck.

The problems is that the tasks we deal with are always new, unsolved problems. That's the nature of software. Unsolved problems come with uncertainty. That's the nature of unsolved problems.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry%E2%80%93Howard_correspon...

The types you write in code describe program properties to be proven and the type checker tries to create a proof that those properties are true for all inputs and outputs. Tests as you say only check a small number of inputs/outputs in comparison. It's very similar to mathematics where checking if a conjecture holds for a few values is a poor substitute to a rigorous proof.

They've already done that. Average commute times in the big cities are 70+ minutes each way. There is only so far people will commute regardless of price.

That 117k/yr shortfall is not evenly spaced. All the jobs growth (and therefore the need for housing) is localized in the cities. They can build 200,000 units in the central valley where there is a ton of land, but no one would go there because there are no jobs, and it would be a 3 hour commute each way to the city.

The only solution is to build up, not out. We've already done all the building out that we can. And the NIMBYs are blocking the "up" growth because they want their cities of single family homes.

Why wouldn't they? You're going to want to pass on interesting stories. And what other means would they have had to transfer knowledge if not through oral tradition? It would have been the only available medium. The stories deemed interesting or important would have been the way people would have entertained each other.

The other thing to keep in mind is that with these stories we can suffer from historical pareidolia - where if the parts of the story fit the truth just enough we assume that must be the basis. I don't know if that's always the case.

I read several interviews today with the master builders of big cathedrals in Germany and Austria. Basically, they are all deeply shocked, the consensus being that nobody thought a catastrophe like that was possible in the 21st century. This appears to be the first major fire in a European cathedral after the second world war, where of course many cathedrals burnt down after bombings (for example, a similar fire broke out in St. Stephens in Vienna in 1945) [0]

In several regional papers, they are now discussing if such a fire would be possible in the local cathedrals (it would, of course) and whether sprinklers should be installed in wooden roof frameworks (which brings all sorts of problems). Only some newer cathedrals (for example the one in Cologne) or cathedrals that burnt during WWII have steel frameworks under their roof.

On an emotional level, I am quite touched by the international reaction to this catastrophe. Basically all cathedrals here in Germany rang their bells today at noon out of respect.

That probably doesn't help. A cotton bag requires about 130x more resources to produce than a standard HDPE carrier bag. If you re-use a plastic bag three times, you'd need to use your cotton bag nearly 400 times to break even. The cotton bag is likely to wear out substantially sooner than that. The plastic bag can be disposed of responsibly by recycling, incineration or as a container for non-recyclable domestic waste.

Bit offtopic for this thread, but I'd call that a very peculiar read of the situation. The Withdrawal Agreement that May is pushing involves a permanent de facto customs union with the EU, ongoing regulatory alignment with the EU, and military integration with the EU. That doesn't leave a whole lot of room for the US.
Lane change behavior looks completely unrealistic to me. I see cars switching lanes on deceleration into a traffic jam, which doesn't buy you anything (both lanes are stopped) and is extremely dangerous (you're cutting off cars approaching fast from behind and braking at the last minute). Never seen this happen in real life, except maybe at toll booths.

On the other hand, there is no lane switching when traffic on adjacent lanes clears up. In real life, drivers will quickly switch if a nearby lane starts moving. They can't see whether their own lane is also clearing up ahead, and most people won't take any chances.
That's with their rate limiting to fast.com (Netflix).

Please note that speedtest.net is REALLY not a good representation of real world network usage, and I don't just mean like how they throttle netflix. They get to host the server in-network as well as full traffic shaping to get those juicy benchmark numbers.

The money was never stolen. A person found a loophole in the code, which everybody agreed upon by virtue of buying into it, and took advantage of it. Code is law. It said so right in the terms & conditions. It is on each buyer to fully audit the code for every single possible loophole--that what is expected of all parties when "code is law".
