Good point. But if you go anywhere else, you are waiting 18 months for those RSUs. If I stay at Uber for a year and see how things go, isn't that a decision more people will need to make now, rather than doing the math on "I'll leave in six months with new job offer in hand..."

In other words, didn't Uber extend the life of lots of people there by a six months or so beyond the six months they need to wait to sell after the IPO? That's a long time in the tech world.

Personally I've always been as upfront as possible with candidates about the state of things. I've never had a new employee join and be surprised with what they found, and I've never showed a candidate code prior to hiring them.

Sure, there may be very few companies in the world where there is 'secret sauce', but the problem is that they all _think_ they have it. If my GC says I can't share IP without paperwork signed then I can't share it - the reason is not relevant unless I have the power or influence in the organization to change the policy. I'm not getting fired over it and (at least at previous companies) I'd get laughed out of the room for even asking.

I'm an engineer myself. This isn't some kind of game I'm playing to pull one over on poor hapless souls - we can argue what ought to be until the cows come home but the reality is that the vast majority of hiring managers have their hands tied by company policy.

Go talk to anybody who has worked for tips - Waiters want as much turnover as possible. It's better to get two tips of 20% then one tip of 25%.

Of course, this doesn't apply when the restaurant is totally empty. Then, they'd rather you stay and keep ordering things to bump up their tips.
Everything bought and sold privately is rationed based on your ability to pay, including such vital resources as food, shelter, transportation, clothing, and higher education, so why is medical care to be treated so differently? If we agree that because medical treatment must be rationed because it is a finite resources, the debate is really comes down to who decides how this rationing is done and by whom.
I would be content if there was an easy way to get the raw itemization info so I could load it into any system I want to do any analysis I want. Instead of breakdowns per trip I could get breakdowns per month or per annum. I could also choose from a variety of visualizations instead of being beholden to whatever is printed on the receipt.
Uber could possibly find an opportunity like that by expanding their delivery options beyond restaurants.

Race and culture being varied shouldn't be a propblem neither should having a big population size. I think having differing regulation in each and every state is the thing that will create complications.

Just as abortions aren't outlawed federally, I think making sozalized healthcare equally available will perhaps be similarily difficult as it is to make abortion equally available.
I find hackernews oddly unsatisfying recently because of comment threads like this. Someone pops in and offers a knee jerk “no regulation” suggestion. Then either people agree with them (yikes!) or there is this type of exchange. Where an expert (and I have a ton of truck drivers in both sides of my family, so while I am not an “expert” by vocation, I am very familiar with issues) points out real life problems and the other person doubles down on crazy.

This means I have to have my “idiot filter” on whenever I’m reading hn.
Automated anything for farms tends to work a lot better on plots of land that are large and flat as a pancake. I'm no autonomous vehicle expert but if you're haying irregularly shaped fields with topographical variation and ideosyncratic hazards (e.g., soft ground, ruts, random trees in fields, etc) then building an automated solution is a lot harder than an autopilot for a combine that works a bunch of perfectly flat, mile-by-mile plots in Nebraska.

If you're haying a small factory farm, driving the tractor is a small fraction of the labor; you're also moving the hay from fields to barn in a trailer and then stacking hay with either humans, a tractor, or a skid-steer. All of this might eventually get automated a la the recent news on Amazon factories, but we're probably (at least) a few years away from that.

I’m a customer using Argo, but I have to admit it’s not entirely visible to me how big the benefits are that I’m getting. I’m sure it’s great but.. just how much? Some visualizations would be nice.

Additionally, we have found the Argo tunnel to be relatively unreliable. Once every few months it seems there is an issue with one of the PoPs, and it takes a long time before our tunnels reconnect (several hours even); which imho is fairly inexcusable for something as critical as this. As such we’ve had to migrate away from using the tunnel, leaving me with earlier mentioned questions on the value we’re getting.

It's easy for techies to immediately jump to the "just use an app" solution, but the reality is that the vast majority of regular grocery store shoppers still use and rely on paper receipts, and that isn't going to change anytime soon.

> Please explain how socialized will pay for it.

With money. It's like insurance, except paid through an extra tax.

> Or more accurately, why.

I mean, are you really asking why someone sees human life to be roughly of equal value, regardless of said human's wealth? But let's look at it differently: I don't think public healthcare precludes people from access to private treatments and additional private medical insurance. Public healthcare is just another baseline service offered by the government, which happens to remove the need for most of the people to seek that service in private sector. Like many other government services, you could view it as a formalization of helping others in need.

> There is an expensive treatment that might or might not work, but it is the only hope left. How much is this wroth to you?

Obviously, all the wealth I can command at the moment - meaning what I have, + what debt I can get into. Which is precisely why healthcare needs to be regulated, and why public healthcare is useful - private providers know that true demand price for many medical issues is essentially "all that you have", and they will try to get all that money. Inserting the government between the healthcare provider and the patient means the provider doesn't get to "negotiate" with an individual under duress.
Supply and demand should take care of this though. A lifetime supply of food is pretty reasonable these days. A lifetime supply of common medications should be about the same, right? Too much regulation restricts supply and too much health care bureaucracy screws up demand.

Of course people should still have insurance (possibly government provided?) for the very rare and expensive surprises (just like a house fire is rare and expensive).

>What annoys me about articles like the above is that they seem to ignore the possibility that aesthetics involves a lot of subjectivity.

Well, in the case of such buildings, most of the subjective opinion is a resounding "nah".

>But you look at what young travellers and photographers actually spend time appreciating and sharing images of, the modernist parts of Chicago, London and New York seem be appreciated at least as much as other cities and districts with well-regarded pre-20thC building

What tourists take pictures of (and even for that, old buildings are unmatched in popularity) is hardly the criterion to judge buildings other unfortunate people have to live in, and with.

It's nice and edgy to photograph a brutalist monstrosity with some filters (oh, apocalyptic dystopian chic). It's another thing to live there.
Surprisingly the background of drivers who do deliveries and food is very different from what is legally required to transport humans. What has been found is that there actually isn't much overlap in competing "supply" as those who are clean on background and DMV checks will always pick transporting people first because its more profitable.
Heh, funny that you mention that ZMQ is overlooked. While often though of a message passing library or serverless queue, Zero MQ has some pretty severe limitations that implementers fail to consider.

To be clear, I think it's an amazing library which is unmatched in its performance, but it comes at a cost: reduced reliability.

ZeroMQ will drop messages in a number of situations. The library does not handle delivery guarantees which means that the application must do it themselves. Whether or not this works for you is an application level concern. However, having used it at two companies now: both times it ended up being thrown out for a more reliable queue (kafka).

One of the things that Haidt leaves out of his article is that the % of difference between liberals and conservatives was within the margin of error.

His findings have also never been validated, even by other conservative scholars, and he refuses to provide the data from this study. (Also, the study was a survey given to people attending the Reagan Library during the work week, so a highly self-selective bunch...)

(Jonathan Haidt was a hero of one of my professors...until the scholarly issues with Haidt's research came to light.)

I think maybe the best way to tell if you fall in this category is the subjective experiences. And like many things it can be a spectrum so you can have it to some degree.

I know for me, I went to my dream college and studied exactly what I wanted to study, yet I couldn’t keep up. I went from getting mostly As in high school to eventually failing out (later to return). I was under immense psychological stress and couldn’t get myself to do basic things. I was always overwhelmed. I couldn’t and still can’t be in social situations when loud music is nearby. I’ve essentially had to reshape my life to work around this. It made me nearly non-functional.

And years later, now that I’ve built my life in a way where it works with my ADD, I can be incredibly productive and imaginative and innovative.
How do these simulators work? What is the underlying model that gives sim users assurance that the simulated behaviour corresponds to real world aerodynamics and eg engine behaviour?
Maybe NVIDIA's Linux driver support wouldn't be so bad if Linux actually made a modicum of effort to accommodate vendor-supplied drivers... you know, things like a stable driver API, documenting what's expected of driver writers, tooling to support and ease the development of new drivers, and isolation so that a bad driver doesn't screw the whole kernel.

You know, like Windows has.

Microsoft may be all cuddly to Linux these days, but when Dave Cutler needs a laugh he still pops open a beer and reads the Linux source.
Your argument is grounded in the idea that the US is somehow an exception to the economic behavior of other first world nations, due to size or diversity or whatever. But is that actually the case?

Counter-argument... this isn't simply a question of "capitalism" vs "socialism". There are a wide variety of models in use out there, from the mostly-socialist (Sweden) to mostly-market (Japan). What they all have in common, though, is that all of them are producing better coverage and better outcomes at lower costs than the American system. We pay twice as much as the rest of the world, for the privilege of millions going without coverage, millions more trapped in jobs they hate for the sake of health insurance, and millions of families bankrupted by medical costs outside of what their insurance (or lack of insurance) covers.

In other words, the existing American model that you're defending is uniquely bad. It's more expensive and less efficient than any other system in the industrialized world. It's not about whether we can do better. It's about whether we could possibly do any worse, at this point.

"Why are we, the users, not allowed to have access to the fruits of the labor that we are forced to provide for free?"

Well... you are being given access to a resource, aren't you? I mean, you're being shown the reCAPTCHA because you asked for something. You could have paid for it by letting them track you, but you decided it wasn't worth that. So the backup price is doing some work for them. But you're not doing it for free. You're doing it because you want whatever it is that's being guarded by the reCAPTCHA in the first place.

Maybe that price is too high for you, but you were the one coming in with a request in the first place. You do the thing and you get "paid" immediately.
By the same token "documentation". Today I explained to a colleague how they could enable port-forwarding across their already-open-SSH-session via "~C".

In this case the "fix" is called the "roller coaster", but Boeing has removed the documentation regarding this from the manuals - specifically the Pilots could have 100% perfect recall of the entire 737-MAX documentation and it wouldn't have helped.

This is 100% Boeing's responsibility:

* They designed a system that overrode pilot control so that they could avoid a requirement to retrain pilots. MCAS existed specifically to maintain the perception of identical flight behaviour entirely to avoid the need for recertification and training. That is the only reason MCAS existed.

* They had minimal (no?) documentation indicating it existed

* They made a warning system to report that the system was faulty - literally they shipped a broken safety system: the warning was intended to be freely available, but it was incorrectly tied to a costly system, so even though it was meant to be a standard feature, it was not present.

* The recommended recovery technique from their documentation was not physically possible, even when you knew exactly what you were meant to do.

* The only technique to recover - the roller coaster - had been deliberately removed from the training and flight manuals. The pilots who managed to recover were only able to recover because they knew of the "solution" from old manuals that were published online after both crashes had occurred, by some non-Boeing website. Even then the pilots in the article said that they didn't believe it would be possible to recover once you got below 5000 feet.

Now, exactly how was this in any way the pilot's fault? They were fully trained, they had clearly read the manuals provided by Boeing (they knew they were mean to be using the manual wheel thing), the warning system was non-functional due to a construction/software error in Boeing's control software, etc.
This channel[1] (by the sounds of it) isn't exactly what your looking for, but I feel like it's appropriate for the topic and might act as a supplement to whatever course(s) you end up taking, depending on where you are having difficulties.

He has an amazing ability to break math down into intuitive visuals which highlight the underlying nature of math, rather than being hyper focussed on a specific problem. For myself, the videos have allowed me to pick up other/adjacent math concepts significantly easier because I've developed a signficantly better understanding of what's happening "under the hood", so to speak.

Might be worth a quick look at least!

If you overhaul the system to provide those data via an API (instead of OCR-ing receipts or printing these relatively useless visualizations), then not only could DIY folks like the parent and myself do the analyses ourselves, but any number of personal finance tools could also support the system to make it easy for their customers to visualize their own data.

> The U.S. crew tested this by setting up a 737-Next Generation simulator at 10,000 ft., 250 kt. and 2 deg. nose up stabilizer trim. This is slightly higher altitude but otherwise similar to what the ET302 crew faced as it de-powered the trim motors 3 min. into the 6 min. flight, and about 1 min. after the first uncommanded MCAS input

That's not slightly higher, that's a lot higher. The graphs in the preliminary report [0] note that the flight starts at around 7,500 ft. since Addis Ababa Bole International Airport is 7,625 ft. above sea level [1]. Their radar altitude "about 1 min. after the first uncommanded MCAS input" was ~1,000 ft. The highest they got above ground was around 6,500 ft. around 5 mins 30 seconds into the flight.

> The excessive descent rates during the first two steps meant the crew got as low as 2,000 ft. during the recovery.

If you assume they meant they were 10,000 ft. above sea level in the first quote, then this quote means they'd be 5,625 ft. under ground at their lowest point.

No, see you misunderstand the free market. Their goal isn’t to make the cheapest anything, their goal is to maximize shareholder value. And when the conversation is framed “pay up or die” well the amount people are willing to pay goes up.
