As a current data scientist, the problem is that the concepts behind data science/big data are legitimate solutions to business problems, but the current marketing of the field is either misleading (e.g. it's not all about building models/AI, and I wrote a post complaining about that: https://minimaxir.com/2018/10/data-science-protips/ ), or it's business upsell for an enterprise product that may not be the optimal solution to a given problem.

It's one of the reasons I've switched more to publishing open-source tooling for data science/AI instead of blog posts about data science.
Why? Does Lapham have a paywall?
How many human drivers would be able to avoid that same thing though? Most of the reason we can safely move cars is because most people follow the rules and aren't murderers. There are plenty of "attacks" you can do against human drivers too.
Well at least on the consumer side, my perception has always been that their brand revolves around solidly built products that last long. We have a bunch of power tools that must be like 20 years old and still work like new.
Untrue of the parent comment perhaps, but the article is talking about going back two centuries.

Regardless, the 80s was the inception of most modern climbing gear sure; but the intermediate years were not only refinements but improvements through the culture assimilating that gear to the point of maximum utility - much the same could be said about personal computing, although the technological advances are larger, much of the advances are cultural, learning how to best utilise it.
Pretty sure everyone - including the people who worked on it - is happy that Project Pluto [0] / SLAM [1] never flew. Despite how awesome the projects were.

Going "above and beyond" in a coding assignment can be a slight negative when I'm grading. Albeit this is a security company and adding pieces on top of the requirements could lead to unthought about interactions and more surface area.

But I'm also about work life balance, and honest day's wage for an honest day's work, so I probably defer from that company in a few ways, lol.
Eh, I'm on a 2 year old Honor 8 that may have now stopped getting security updates (last patches were the 12/2018 ones) that was under 250 when I got it and which needs a new battery.

I'd probably be on a Nokia right now if they'd released a 6.2 this spring. I haven't looked at the J7 specifically but my impression in the past has been that there are a variety of midrange phones that are a better value than Samsung's offerings.

I'm not touching, "but it's historical!", because that's a problematic idea in of itself. Lots of things are, "historical", but don't make sense in the modern world.

Say you had two kids, and you lost both. One way to think of it is your lost all the children you ever had. Fine.

Say you had a DOZEN kids, and you lost six of them. Same thinking as above, you've lost half the children you ever had. Ok, but you still lost six kids!. Six kids have to go through life knowing they have lost six siblings. Having that somehow be better is pure insanity. Or at the very least the utmost self-centered thing I've ever heard of - you're hoping that the loss off 6 out of 12 kids is somewhat less of an impact on yourself when compared to losing two kids?

These are human beings, not cupcakes you're bringing to a picnic. If you brought two cupcakes, and hoping to have one yourself, but both were eaten before you could have your own cupcake, that stinks - but you're just out of a cupcake. Then yeah: bring a dozen cupcakes to share, and have yourself your own cupcake.

Hmm, I would probably put this in the class of planes with VTOL functionality, not a quad-copter/plane hybrid like Amazon and Google X's delivery drone. For instance, a V22 is considered a plane with VTOL but not a quad-copter/plane hybrid.
As a general rule of thumb (not that I'm great at this), physical networking might be the most tried and true. Look at whatever local conferences there are, go there, ask people what they do and what challenges they face. Their challenges could be your opportunities if you can find a way to leverage your strengths to solve them in a way that they can afford/use.

At least, that's one idea.
So aside from you, nobody on the team cared about i18n enough to actually get it implemented before deployment–it wasn't a priority. Got it.

Sucks that you're embarrassed but it looks like an organizational failing to me. I would never "upgrade" a website from having i18n to not having i18n.

> Doing it a better way takes time and effort.

New method or not, deploying the website could have waited until even a few languages were translated. It's not like the old site was bad, what was the rush?

edit;

Nobody here is answering my question: why was it deployed with removed functionality? Why could the old site not have stayed up longer until a few languages at least were translated? You say things like "nobody was happy" but I'm wondering why it was deployed at all if nobody was happy. Is this a side effect of too many committees and deliberation?

Why are we sitting here going "sucks that I have to explain this to people" when it could've just.... waited? Nobody would have noticed if the old rust site had stayed up for another year? two?

and now I'm characterized as "mad" because I respond to HN comments. No, I just care about i18n, I'm just wondering why a website had to be deployed so badly that something as important as i18n was removed. Good for us because we speak English, am I right?

edit 2;

The reason I have written so much here is because I thought the Rust team was capable of quality, so I hold it to higher standards. For the website, it appears that I was mistaken.

The overarching tone of the article is "Tesla isn't doing a very good job with its autopilot and could have prevented this". I wonder if there's any data about how many Tesla's get in crashes versus other cars. I'd suspect that given that only 2 people have died in over 1 billion miles driven in autopilot that Tesla's are safer than other cars.
It would have been nice if btrfs would be discussed, since it's supposed to be the next generation filesystem for Linux.

> last year we broadened profit sharing to all levels of the company

So... do executives think this means something to people? This incentive seems comically out-of-touch. I guess because CEOs live and breathe stock valuation-based bonuses they naturally assume that everyone gets motivated the same way. But it seems like a stretch that strains credulity to think that someone making $15/hr and getting a microscopic slice of revenue would develop a sense of motivation from the fact that their personal call-center interactions might maybe increase their share of revenue by a few pennies a week through slightly happier customers.
I always think of mistake as simply "to be wrong". Am I mistaken in my assumption?

You've posted so many flamebait comments recently that I've banned this account. This simply isn't what the site is for, and users who don't respect the guidelines can't post here. Creating accounts to post like this will eventually get your main account banned as well.

Would you mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the spirit of this site more to heart? We need everyone to take care of the commons if HN is to survive what's happening in society and on the rest of the internet. It's in all of our interests to do that, because that's how HN can stay interesting in the long run. Scorched earth: not interesting.
I presuppose the undesirability of people supposedly inevitably having access to Martin Luther King?

I'm tiring of your willful redirection of referents, which I think is the point of your construction. Your "logic" (that basically amounts to censorship is necessary because it's inevitable that bad people will win) smacks of the same mental gymnastics people used to "prove" the existence of god.

people will tend to move to platforms whose recommendations aren't censored

Yes, and this will eventually result in MLK (whose positions are now centrist) winning and authoritarians on both extremes losing. Your scheme uses a lot of words to attempt a pretty transparent sleight of hand.
Yes, exactly! This seems like totally overblown title. It's akin to saying Google open sourced their key search tech Kubernetes, which is an open source rendition of Borg, where all the Google workloads run on top of.
That might very well be the case.

Still we as a society usually decide not ban things that hurt only irresponsible people. There is an exception to this for children, but they are banned from driving already.

If the autopilot crashes start resulting in a number of deaths outside of the drivers car that might shift the public opinion.
> So aside from you, nobody on the team cared about i18n enough to actually get it implemented before deployment–it wasn't a priority. Got it.

It's not a matter of care; it's a matter of time and stuff to do. There are a lot of people willing to get extremely mad about the website online, but few people who are actually willing to step up and do work. That's the limiting factor on getting stuff done.
The first sentence is the "how do we want society to work" and it is the right one.

Businesses are a thing we've invented to shuffle resources around; there's currently enough resources for everyone in the world to be fat and happy (the world produces 3,500 calories per capita per day), it's just so very unequally distributed that 1 in 10 working Americans faces food insecurity, and 1 in 8 Americans overall lives in poverty.

Anyone working a full-time job should be able to live comfortably, and if you can't work full-time, society should take care of you anyway.

If I may rephrase your perspective as I read it: "how do they stop people from breaking the law when it's still physically possible to occasionally break the law and get away with it?"

If that is in fact what you're asking, then there are a great many societal functions that you should be worrying about the stability of at a much higher priority than flight radio.
How Peppa Pig became a £1bn global phenomenon
Is stress the right word? I get stressed when I can’t figure out how I’m going to get my bills paid or when I’m stuck in traffic and there’s a meeting I’m trying to get to. Working long hours isn’t _stressful_, it’s exhausting. I’ve done the unreasonable peer-pressure driven long work hours thing before and I just want to go to sleep and I’m frustrated that everybody is just demanding more and more out of me.
The problem with technological smoking guns is that, however believable to those in-the-know they may appear, it's still a human problem to convince a layperson of their gravity. For example, the same technique was used to prove corruption in Pakistan [0], but a court rejected the evidence. Whether that is because they did not understand it, or were corrupt themselves, is another question.

Yep, eventually you become sufficiently skilled at enough of those disciplines as to be able to call yourself a specialist in many/most of them. At which point, you're either in high enough demand that only those that are desperate for you are willing to pay, or you're priced out of the market... or you still just do it for fun.

And yes, in a startup you will learn these things, whether you want to or not... and that growth curve will be painful. And you'll either thrive, or you'll die.
I have been resistant to the idea of government/state support for people who are losing jobs to automation, because I think people will adjust over the long run and focus on more digital jobs. However, in the nearer term, there does seem to be a bigger case to be made for some sort of support since trucking a top occupation in the US, and #1 in most states.

In 10 - 20 years it seems concerning to think that 2 - 3 million people will be out of traditional work with little or no education. Additionally, young people will not have that occupation as an option. Any industry that large (including traditional diesel truck manufacturers, truck stops, gas stations, truck mechanics, etc.) will be drastically impacted, all in a relatively short time span.

Should there be some help? Should the government be rapidly retraining truck drivers for something else in the next few years?
> It's on par but still bullshit

I've actually had something like that happen to me too, but in a different company. From my experience as someone who's conducted a lot of interviews myself, I think this can happen due to various reasons:

- broken telephone (recruiting org rarely physically talks to eng org). If you call the recruiter after the fact, they may not have the context for the rejection and might make stuff up on the spot to get you off their back, because at that point, you're kind of "wasting their time" (given that their job description is to keep the hiring funnel greased, not maintain long-term relationships)

- technical interviewers don't always have interviewing training and may reject based on bogus reasons (e.g. feelings), then try to "justify the decision" after the fact. A few might not even keep good notes of their interviews

- sometimes candidates do solve a problem, but are legitimately rejected because they did so in a non-ideal way (e.g. performance problem, missing important edge case, struggling too much with basics like syntax, soft skill red flags such as lack of interest/proactiveness, etc). But often times the interviewer doesn't give the negative feedback to the candidate, leaving the candidate with a false sense of accomplishment.

Generating the requisite signal is easy to do with opensource code and just $200 or so of equipment.

I bet the drone didn't use the military encrypted GPS because they didn't want encryption keys to fall into the wrong hands (they're global), or just because the effort to load the new GPS keys every week was too much, The attackers just jammed and then spoofed GPS, and by providing a very strong signal, any kalman filters designed to merge signals from inertial units would be fooled.

That's a matter of using the right tool for the environment, though, isn't it? Someone looking at the world from the small-system, bare-metal embedded development perspective might express similar feelings about garbage collection, for teaching junior programmers to be unacceptably sloppy about memory management.

I think it is simply to be expected that junior programmers will frequently pick the wrong tool for the job, for any job in any context, as they have not yet had time to master many tools and do not yet have enough experience to understand the edges of their ignorance. (Presumably we would start thinking of them as peers and calling them "senior programmers" at some point along this journey of growth...)
So, I'm not making a value judgement of what's going on but I always cringe when I see complicated geopolitical actions being reduced to one line talking points on HN. Of course it is actually much more nuanced in reality.

These observations about imprisoning minorities always fail to include information about past terrorist attacks and militant activity in the region. Most of the people in the reeducation centers were sent there for things such as spreading Islamic propaganda glorifying suicide bombings.The reality of the situation is more nuanced than the depiction by western media.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism_in_China

In December 2016 in Xinjiang, Islamic militants drove a vehicle into a yard at the county Communist party offices and set off a bomb but were all shot dead. Three people were wounded and one other died.

In July 2011, At least 18 people died in a series of alleged terrorist attacks in the city of Kashgar. According to state-run media accounts, the violence began when two Uyghur men hijacked a truck, ran it into a crowded street, and started stabbing people, killing six. The attack ended when the assailants were overpowered by the crowd, which killed one attacker. On the second day, state media reported that a "group of armed terrorists" stormed a restaurant, killed the owner and a waiter, and set it ablaze. They then proceeded to indiscriminately kill four more civilians. Armed clashes then reportedly ensured, ending with police capturing or killing the attackers. The Turkistan Islamic Party later claimed responsibility for the attack. One of the suspects appeared in a TIP video training in Pakistan.

In March 2015 in Guangzhou, three ethnic Uyghur assailants with long knives attacked civilians at Guangzhou train station, 13 injured.

In November 2014 in Xinjian, militants with knives and explosives attacked civilians, 15 dead and 14 injured. 14 of the 15 deaths were attackers

In May 2014 in Ürümqi, Xinjiang, Two sport utility vehicles (SUVs) carrying five assailants were driven into a busy street market in Ürümqi. Up to a dozen explosives were thrown at shoppers from the windows of the SUVs. The SUVs crashed into shoppers then collided with each other and exploded. 43 people were killed, including 4 of the assailants, and more than 90 wounded.

There are many more. Again, I'm not making of value judgement here but I think everyone should think critically and really understand what's going on from multiple points of view.
