grade 0, first day, found name of classmate interesting as it was the same name as a character in a tale I liked, I remarked this, was told that it was cruel to "call people names", class was encouraged to find a "bad name" for me.

grade 1, teacher used to enjoy holding me in front of the class, telling "this is [name], he thinks he's special, he likes attention" and have the other kids point and laugh at me before starting class.

Was evaluated by psychologist, I remember I was given stupid puzzles, the kind you played with in kindergarten, asking me to complete them, I was offended by this and refused, she pushed me and I did a few before breaking down from being treated like an imbecile. Test showed I was probably not.

grade 3, handed in assignment in basic, we were supposed to write a story, and I wrote a small program with arrays of words, and arrays of indexes to print the story.. Teacher told me it didn't count to "write some hieroglyphs", I told he it was a program, she explained to me "it's not possible to just make a program".

These set the tone of my further education. Still working to get past those (and so many more) events. I still feel like I'm worthless. Thanks school! I still got to be a software developer though.
Probably related to the nacelle-less design of having the engines fully inside the wings.
We did this at my company. A developer at the level that that developer was applying for would do a task that took them 2-4 hours. We then gave the interviewee four days to complete the task with a recommended time of 2 days. We also always made sure to include the weekend in the time they had to complete the task as we know during the week time is precious.
There is no sleep command in JavaScript. He fundamentally didn't understand that JavaScript used callbacks and wanted to poll for an XHR's completion.

The job was to write JavaScript, not to do any architecting. There was nothing unclear about the job role. And they had claimed to have built [a very important dashboard that I won't mention to keep them anonymous] mostly themselves, which was quickly disproved.
> The US is the most advanced country on the planet.

This has only been true since about the mid 20th century and is by no means guaranteed to continue. Other countries are also populated by clever humans who would love to overtake us.

As an American I'm inclined to be supportive of measures taken by my government to keep the US in the top spot.
Growing up on a street where the neighbors landed a helicopter at their house a few times per month I can tell you it’s extremely disruptive. As a kid you think it’s fun, I’m sure my dad was annoyed when he was trying to hear the tv though.
Today, Haus Hiltl isn’t just one Zürich’s most popular dining options; it’s recognised by Guinness World Records as the world’s oldest continuously run vegetarian restaurant

"a mathematician often finds herself engaged in an individual battle of the human mind against rigid logic"

The platonist view is assumed all the way through the article. Why assume that maths and logic exist independently of the human mind rather than being just another product of our thought?

Meta: I assume you're doing a website update at the moment. I prefer the blue! Though I might still use a white version on the homepage to remove emphasis from the header. Also, on you signup page it would IMO look nicer if you pinned the page footer (eg https://matthewjamestaylor.com/bottom-footer).
Thank you! Yes, in my experience, "most investors want 20% in each round" has been a good rule to go by...
There is no sleep command. They didn't understand how callbacks worked at all. In JavaScript, that's fundamental. He wanted to poll with sleeps.
> Carbon taxes are artificial barriers to using fossil fuels.

> On the other hand, when technology improves so that electric cars cost less per mile than gasoline cars, people won't necessarily buy them to be green, they'll buy them because they're a cheaper form of transportation that happens to be greener.

Carbon taxes are like trash disposal fees. If your business dumps trash into the landfill or carbon into the atmosphere, the public should not have to subsidize your business by paying for that. You should pay to manage your own waste.

Gas cars are cheaper than electric at least partly because we're all subsidizing them by allowing them to dump waste for free into the air that we all own, and paying on their behalf for all the damages that causes (asthma, climate change, flooding, etc). A carbon tax would remove that subsidy and make fossil fuels compete on a level playing field.

And yes, once the subsidy is removed, the market can sort it out.

That is so not why treasury bonds are bought and the opposite of how they work. They are bought to be stable and value stores and some exchange rate hedging. It acknowledges supremacy sure in that they think it would be extraordinarily less likely to collapse.

They pay the money upfront for them and if the regieme change was illegitimate enough to freeze the bond it would be "free money" until a legitimate claimant comes forward. Like a neighboring city's bank refusing to turn over money from the account of Gotham after joker took over the city. That is the only securing function of it - meaning others lose it if they steal it.
In my primary school we had some poles in the shape of a right triangle (with one of the legs being formed by the ground) with different slopes, all of which were 5-6 metres tall. The slope of the steepest one was nearly 80 degrees. The ground was tiny pebbles/gravel which made small falls somewhat less of an issue. They served no purpose other than being climbed, it was built to explore one's boundaries and to be brave. Most of us were scared to climb them but some who were really good climbers had no problems and got instant street cred by doing that.

> you shouldn't discount these engineers over minor details like this.

Then they should apply for a job where their skills are relevant. If you're applying for a job where you're writing code (like all of the ones I described), you'd better be able to code.

Edit: and we let you Google whatever you need in the interview. If you can't figure out how to clone an array (an implementation detail of the interview question) on your own, I don't know what role you think you're applying for.

I honestly do not see anything impressive in the latest video. To me this is just an empty done staying afloat for a few seconds. The design looks nice, but that's it. I have been far more impressed by these things:

Why would that metric be useful? Geniuenly wondering.
I learned in the past that open issues are not indicator of how useful the library is.

Example: Worked on a project that used a library with 150 open and 3500 closed issues. Turns out it was a disaster we had to replace. It was disaster mainly because most closed issues were closed by a bot after 14 days and we didn't realise this.

This is a nice gesture from this CEO/company. I wish more companies tried this.

That said, we shouldn't depend on the largesse/good nature/etc of a few rich individuals - if there is sensible minimum wage, sensible labor laws (and enforcement of these laws), sensible housing laws etc, we probably wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.
> I love how in the video it shows 100+ people cheering and hugging each other in blissful victory for essentially making a drone fly.

Agree. The plane looks cool, and there definitely were a lot of people happy it flew, but the reactions on video look ridiculously staged. It reminds me of videos of rocket launches, except in those there's a high risk the rocket (and last X months of work) will just blow up on the pad, and you don't get to test-fly it beforehand. I don't think there were any outcomes possible for Lilium other than "it works" and "it almost works".
This is giving too much credit to the government who handled almost every aspect the worst way possible:

- the plant had designs flaws and shortcuts taken that worsened the effect of the tsunami

- government media (NHK) heavily downplayed the issue while the reactor was melting, independent journalists got shutdown, actual information only leaked through anonymous sources

- even after the anonymous info was proven true, there were still active campaigns to downplay the events and just put a seal on any further information leak

- contaminated soil and debris got shipped around the country with vibrant "solidarity above all" chants to shutdown critics

- media campaign were launched to eat Fukushima fruits and vegetable

- yakuza got involved in sourcing the contractors that do the cleanup

- health damage is/was massively downplayed to remove any institutional responsibility

I know a lot of that is just "business as usual", but if we're asking if former residents of Fukushima are wrong to distrust the government, I think there's a lot to take into account.
There's a specific geological term for that (I forget what it is) but it doesn't sound as impressive as "magma ocean".

All non-sedimentary rock was liquid at some point. They did simply find rock. It just so happens that they think this rock is exposed rock from the mantle. It's not like some volcano farted this out and that's somehow interesting. The word "ocean" also carries a lot of connotations that are not really applicable to a bunch of hot rock that was exposed by an impact. It's not like this was some pool of lava that was sloshing around up there.
This shouldn't be downvoted, because Trickle-down economics, or rather politics, is a big part of today's world, and it needs to be discussed. It tries to justify socioeconomic stratification and deregulation, which is nuts in this late-stage capitalist society. It shouldn't be supported, in my opinion at least, but it should be critiqued and discussed. It's too important to be downvoted out of the thread.
I had the same problem with Twitter too. The posts and replies seemed random and without any structure and I didn't really get it. But after I spent a few weeks using it, it started making sense and I would browse posts and replies without too much effort.

I think it just takes a while for new people to get Twitter. Probably most people don't even know why Twitter is confusing initially because they are so used to it.
>Friedman has been called many things but inconsistent or unprincipled [are] not among them.

Actually in good-old Europe, "unprincipled" is upon Friedman's more common monickers.

Not that America is that behind:

"It must be said that there were some serious questions about his [Friedman's] intellectual honesty when he was speaking to the mass public." (Paul Krugman)

Or how about:

Modern "high bypass" jet engines are actually ducted fans, with the shaft powered by a "gas turbine" whose role is mostly to provide torque. All propulsion units compress the air to some extent, even propellers - if they didn't, they would be silent. However, in a gas turbine, the function of the "compressor stage" (which is NOT the "turbine" part) is to get a lot of oxygen in one place, where it can be combined with a lot of fuel, which makes it very hot, which causes it to adiabatically expand a lot, driving the turbine at the back (this is what a 'turbine' does - extract power). If the air weren't compressed, you wouldn't be able to burn much fuel with it, and it wouldn't get so hot and expand so much. (By the way, this is the same reason for superchargers and turbochargers in piston engines. More air = more fuel = more heat and expansion)

This process isn't actually very efficient at moving air though, which is why gas turbines are now mostly used to power ducted fans, propellors, and helicopter rotors.
I understand that a popular philosophy is that they're rich because they deserve it; they're simply better people. There's no shame to be had; it's simply the natural order of things, it's morally right.
This is conspiracy theory logic. If you assume the government is enacting a bad faith cover up, literally any position of ignorance can be justified.

If there was evidence that radiation from Chernobyl was causing a problem at a scale beyond what you'd expect of any large industrial project someone would have spotted it by now. Instead the numbers seem to be being revised downwards and the damage turns out to be mitigatable as more evidence comes in.
Primary source is here:

Simply loosening bolts to “hand tightened” has led to crane collapses. (The article under the Worthton accident on page one summarizes expert witness testimony to this effect)

In general, removing even one element from a truss structure substantially lowers safety margins. Also, crane collapses often happen during assembly and disassembly, since that is when unexpected things often happen. Unnecessarily removing redundancy from the structure increases the chances of such collapses.
In all of the above cases, the candidate had no fundamental knowledge of their chosen language. All of the jobs I was hiring for were for positions that involved writing code. None of these were roles that involved more thought leadership than coding.

I should have been more clear about the JavaScript issue: there is no sleep command. The candidate didn't know how callbacks worked. In JavaScript. Callbacks in JavaScript are how _everything_ works.

Assuming the battery could be swapped out in a few minutes, then traveling at a 1/3 of the speed of a human driver displaces the cost of one driver on a regular shift of 8 hours. But on a 24/7/365 schedule (weekends and holidays too) even 1/4 the speed will cover wages. Reversing this, an Electric Truck with battery swap or on-road charging going 25km/h displaces the cost of 1 driver traveling 100km/h for equal distance.

Wasn't it the size of the tsunami that was the problem? It was designed for a smaller scale tsunami, but that's not what happened, thus the main power backup was destroyed.

That said, if memory serves me correct, they should have ensured proper backup power a long time before the tsunami, so a timely shutdown and following cooldown could happen without problems.

> If you try to make sense of human behavior, not just in ordinary life but also in the sciences, then the ascription of intentionality is indispensable. It’s infeasible and not illuminating to explain human behavior at the level of astronomically complex neural firing patterns that take place in the brain.

“It’s difficult to describe macro behavior as a direct function of micro behavior, therefore, intentionality doesn’t belong on, nor should be falsified at, the micro level.”

All of the lines of argument in this article seem pretty weak. My time of disrespecting modern philosophy has sure come to an abrupt middle.

I'm actually a Twitter user, and I think this is a very jaundiced opinion. I have a lot of different interests and following people on Twitter is a very good grapevine system. Math twitter is a good place, for example. A lot of people are very enthusiastic about how it has enriched their mathematical diet. There are many good people on Twitter who use it for serious sharing of ideas in other fields as well.

In general, it's a good way for people to share thoughts and links to a diverse audience. Liking Twitter isn't a sign of foolishness. Among the social networks, it's not as gross and corporate as FB, or as superficial as Instagram.

Your dismissal of the reasons why people might like Twitter, the implicit claim that it's useless for sophisticated people like yourself, and the apparent desire to impose black and white dichotomies on the world risks making you into a candidate for the category of "just wanting to rant at somebody".

We know that HN has its own serious cultural problems, after all.
OP's design is much nicer than this. Maybe the "3-5 hours" requirement was hinting that it needed to be as "material design generic" as possible. Which, this design clearly does.
Actually, the slippery slope is real. DNA testing started with Sex Offenders, and is now close to becoming a requirement for any felon. Registry requirements and reach is expanding as well.

> The recidivism rates among those who molest boys is 35% after 15 years.

You cite a statistic that is drawn from a type of crime that is a very small percentage of the overall types of sexual offenses. Why not also cite the rate of incestuous molesters, who are a far larger number of offenders?
Exactly. Haha They blow everything WAY out of proportion. It's so silly. Drives me mad. ha

The last time I applied to a company, I ask them all of this. Something in those lines "Hello, I use your product FooBarTools everyday and it help me a lot. I really like it. It is nice piece of software. bla bla bla. I see that you have some opening positions in your careers page. bla bla bla. I would love to be a part of the improvement of FooBarTools. bla bla. What is your hiring process? What do you expect a senior/midlevel/junior should be able to do? bla bla. Thank you for your time. Have a nice day."

For company who reach me, it is mandatory.

What are the tech specs of this thing? What altitude does it fly at? Does it use the ground effect for efficiency? If not, the claimed range seems a little too futuristic with current battery technology. 150 KW for flight ("it will require less than ten per cent of its maximum 2000 horsepower during cruise flight") x 1 hour range = 150 KWh and that's going to weigh more than the maximum takeoff weight of 640 Kg according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilium_Jet ...
