It is honestly ludicrous to see the results of decades of economic warfare and the nonstop closing of proverbial doors of economic opportunity done by boomers and to a lesser extent gen X and then boil everything down to "Social media means more people compare their normal to everyone else's best."

It isn't that it's not true, it is! Social media sucks for mental health. It's just also true that there are many legitimate reasons to be upset. I say this as a 24 year old that has been very very lucky to have affluent parents and gone to a good university and gotten a good job. I make more money than I honestly think anyone needs at my current cost of living and yet despite this I have so many friends that are barely scraping by.

Depending on what stats you go by, the average American household couldn't spare a $400 expense: https://www.fool.com/retirement/2018/05/23/guess-how-many-am... That's a fucking Playstation. That's absurd.

So sum the constant anxiety of basically no economic safety net, climate change (which is looking to be "how bad", not "if"), social media reminding you of these AND how much better your friends are doing.. Is it any wonder everybody feels like shit?
The open (Kitchen) floor plan to me represents the idea that cooking isn’t a chore separate from eating and socializing. I want to cook for an hour without being alone. Privacy in the kitchen would never be desireable. “Entertaining” doesn’t require guests.

There is also a matter of space. A shared living/dining/cooking space can use a lot less space than three separate rooms. I couldn’t afford the separate solution without it feeling cramped. In the open configuration it’s vast. The article mentions energy use - and living smaller is better in that regard.
This has been one of the motivations for making kitchen appliances quieter. Quieter dishwashers and garbage disposals are a thing.
It'll be fun to watch this one and see all the discussion about open plan offices from people who didn't read the article.
Thanks for the details and the kind words. I need to see how the bookmarks API works. I've never played with it until now. Unfortunately, extensions can't run in the Reader View mode. I don't know any workaround to this. However, it could be possible via Selenium/Geckodriver (SingleFile can run via the command line interface) but I did not do the test.
Perhaps that's not the most convincing way to contradict the original point.

Experiment 1

While we used the NGINX reverse proxy to terminate TCP, it was challenging to find an openly available reverse proxy for QUIC. We built a QUIC reverse proxy in-house using the core QUIC stack from Chromium and contributed the proxy back to Chromium as open source.

Experiment 2

Once Google made QUIC available within Google Cloud Load Balancing, we repeated the same experiment setup with one modification: instead of using NGINX, we used the Google Cloud load balancers to terminate the TCP and QUIC connections...

Since the Google Cloud load balancers terminate the TCP connection closer to users and are well-tuned for performance, the resulting lower RTTs significantly improved the TCP performance.
It is, actually. Sometimes it's not visible but it's available in a neat JSON format if you view page source.
Your BMW is new, I have an old one, and the sofware updates made it worse actually. Tesla is making sure that the new processors are backward compatible (for example the new, v2.5 generation autopilot hardware fits in the v2.0 hardware, and doesn't increase the power usage substantially).

In return I'm a bit scared of buying a Tesla because I live in Europe and read quite bad stories about the service wait time here.
I can anecdotally confirm the American side. My manager values confidence to the point where he sees it as the number one signal for actual competence. I started acting more confident and aggressive to appease him, and realized that everyone else has already been doing it all along.
Chernobyl only took out 10,000 square miles because they got lucky. If they didn't drain water tanks it could have exploded making a huge portion of the continent uninhabitable.

Also, using 17,500 square miles doesn't equal damage. The land could be reclaimed in negligible time by removing the panels, unlike nuclear contamination.
Except when you will surely need it, just not now, and will have to change your entire core everything to bolt it on.

People saying YAGNI usually make much worse atrocities than the ones aiming for SOLID. And on SOLID, the I alone may be responsible for the overwhelming majority of the problems.

Do you have any source to support this? Because real median personal[1] income went up almost 50% since then[2].

[1] — don't confuse it with real median household income, which didn't grow nearly as much, because of a significant rise in single-person households which pushes the median down a lot.

MRI scanners can only barely do quantitative evaluations... between different scanners, and different scanning protocols, your body may look quite a bit different and it is hard to know exactly how much variability to attribute to inter-scanner differences.

There are whole studies done to try and quantify this, and it requires sending "human phantoms"- test subjects- around to different scanners, which requires you to physically take one subject around to several scanners operated by different people and stick them in there for a while. It's really involved.
I would say just look for a job as a "programmer" then, but once you're hired, take every opportunity to a) learn and b) show off, skills in the other areas. Nobody really sticks strictly to their job description, do they? Maybe, but my idea is to be always stretching beyond it so they're eventually forced to update it, heh heh. Eventually you're "so good they can't ignore you" like Steve Martin said via Cal Newport.

Edit: And by the way, make it your business during the search and interview process to figure out which jobs explicitly offer that possibility. Because growing into other areas with the management's blessing is obviously better & less stressful than trying to do it on the sly or in your free time.
Really? To me it seems that "user-predictive" modeling just mean "show ads for sites user visited recently". E.g. if I buy a blender on Amazon (and maybe check a few comparison sites or something before that) I'm going to get blender-related ads. If that's the best advertisers can do, it's pretty weak sauce... Why would I need 7 blenders?
My parents live in a house built in 1840 (in the UK so this isn’t too unusual) and I grew up being continually told to close doors (every room is separated from connected rooms by doors) to conserve heat and, particularly importantly for the kitchen, to stop the house smelling of cooking.

All the homes I’ve lived in as an adult (mostly in the US) haven’t had the same separation and I like when my house smells of cooking (as long as I don’t burn something) but it definitely changes what I cook, knowing that the oven will heat the entire apartment definitely changes plans in the summer, whereas my mother can simply open the kitchen door
How Honeybees Get Their Jobs
No, it has to do with avoiding harm to patients. I don’t make one red cent more or less from sending someone to an MRI or not. I do care about wasteful testing that is more likely to stress out a patient and send them down a rabbit-hole of follow-up tests with potential complications and costs (to them), if there’s not a reasonable chance of an outweighing clinical benefit for them.

And of course we make statistical calls! When you’re deciding -prospectively- whether a course of testing or treatment is in a patient’s best interest, you have to look at the stats on likely benefits and harms of various courses of action. I’d love to know what my patients have before hand, so I could avoid dealing with probabilities, but I haven’t been blessed with that particular power. I’d love for the data to exist to tell me how to interpret a result in my precise patient rather than a larger population she belongs to, but “solitary pulmonary nodules in 33-year old men who smoked twice in college and live half a mile from a freeway with two episodes of bronchitis in their teens” is a study that hasn’t been conducted yet. One day perhaps it will be, and if so, I’ll be grateful for it. But right now that data doesn’t exist, so we use what we have, and use our judgment to tailor it to the patient in front of us - imperfectly.

I recommend reading “overdiagnosed” by Gilbert Welch.
Did you read the article? It's talking about the new modern open living plans with no walls between kitchen and the living room.
What you describe is not what actually happens.

What actually happens is that your behavior (in store or not) is permanently observed all the time and ads are served whether you want it or not.

Imagine if in all shops, always you'd get jumped on by attendant trying to sell you things. And sometimes shop attendant would appear out of the blue.

What you're describing you can have today - just convince user to make account in your shop and give you permission to send offers. You can chase him any time you want.
I don't know how Boeing is doing their software but 737 Max is nowhere near chicken coop. I kind of believe they use something like MISRA.

Article also is not saying anything about web applications.

What I have seen on my own eyes was for example airport parking lot in Eindhoven which is also not a chicken coop: https://nltimes.nl/2017/09/25/eindhoven-airport-parking-gara...

On the other hand I have never seen collapsed chicken coop.
This is beautiful: succinct and powerful.

Back in the day there was a similar js bookmarklet that could be used to export all your friends' contacts (name + emails) so you can leave without worrying that you'll be missing out on all your "connections." It would be nice to extend this with a "backup my posts + contacts" info before deleting everything.
Also, ‘businesses’ is not the same as, say, ‘megacorps’. Though I get where the grandparent comment was coming from.
Same process for everyone, small team bootstraps with Python. With success they find another language, now, mostly Go.
Does anyone know if there is an equivalent to delete Facebook friends or unlike pages/leave groups? I really want to clean out my Facebook since I've had it for a very long time and much of it doesn't appeal to me anymore, but I don't necessarily want to lose the tiny social ecosystem I've created with my family.

However, I would like to remove the hundreds of friends and pages that I don't talk to/don't represent me/are mining my data even more than the platform is.

Ignoring the sensationalized headline:

> Over the last four decades, the financial sector of the U.S. economy saw its share of corporate profits increase from about 10% to nearly 40% before the 2008 financial crisis, and nearly 30% in 2018. During this period, the capital that corporations returned to their shareholders tripled, while business investment decreased by 20%.

> The report argues that since the 1970s, changes made by American businesses and policymakers began prioritizing high returns to investors in the short term, rather than investment in long-term capabilities.

You can completely believe in big c "Capitalism" and also believe that we are doing it badly. And I think blame going on everyone, the MBA class and lawmakers alike, is pretty fair.

"Climate change, protecting the environment and natural disasters topped the list of most respondents on a personal level, but less than three in ten of both the Millennial and Gen Z cohorts cited it as a worry."

This is surprising. As a Gen Z-er this highlights the kind of bubble I find myself in- my friend group is almost universally in a state of despair about the collapsing biosphere. Climate change and mass extinction are the chief reasons I am pessimistic about my life.
Nothing new there. Labeled loop exits are a feature of Ada.
Hopefully you flagged the post and others will as well. I always flag posts like these because I also hope this site does not devolve into political editorial discussions every day.
I agree with the systemd developers on this one. It's weird that processes started by users when their logged in by don't end when they log out unless they voluntarily terminate when sent a signal.

And nohup was always a hack. Now that we actually have a functioning user-level service manager keeping processes alive by throwing them at PID 1 to parent needs to go away. I really hope that systemd eventually uses subreapers to keep all user processes under the session leader.

I feel like it's weird to talk about scope creep when logind is pretty much the first system to define what a session even means on a Linux system.
Why not both?

Personally, a combined cooking/living space is desirable for exactly the reasons you mentioned. However a separate dining room, and perhaps another room for "entertaining" (think a "den" or similar room) is also desirable to me.
>> "Twice in the last 20 years - more than any other time in US history combined - The Presidential election went to the candidate that LOST the popular vote"

There aren't a lot of data points--less than 100--for this, so it might not be statistically significant. Both those presidents are awful, but that could be an anomaly once seen in the context of a more significant sample.
Facebook ads are basically extremely successful banner ads, both for FB and advertisers. There's a reason 90% of new ad spend is split between Goog and FB.
The open floor plan is nice if you have small kids that need to be watched over. Though as they get older, it’s nicer to have separate rooms.

Maybe the compromise is having rooms partitioned with French doors. My in-laws house (about 100 years old) is like that, but the shorter ceilings make me feel cramped.
Cool technology. But...

Once being a taxi driver was a skilled job. You really needed to know your streets well.

But than came GPS. An augmented reality for drivers.

And now everybody can be an UBER driver. Anywhere. No knowledge is needed.

So now taxi drivers are easily replaceable. And the pay is shit.

And soon, we'll have augmented reality for Every profession.

And we'll see a similar shift happening: Good professions that once combined hands-on skills with knowledge, won't need that anymore.

You won't need to think. You don't need to know much. Just follow instructions well, and fast.

So now you'll be easily replaceable. And the pay will be shit.

And this will be everywhere.
The article linked (not the Bloomberg one but the same piece) discussed on HN (too lazy to find the link) and your comment pretty much summarizes the comments.
I remember norm abrams asking someone to be allowed to measure their table. Cut to back at his workshop recreating it from his notes. Amazing woodworker
The parent comment to mine was facetiously showing how the employer is always taking advantage of the employee. I'm showing that it's "clearly" the other way around.

It's almost like it is an exchange of services and goods negotiated along a variety of criteria.
I am surprised that there isn’t more pessimism surrounding climate change. This is the biggest factor for me personally. However, I work at FAANG so wages and other more immediate ills do not concern me as much.
Great site. Wish they had a RSS feed so I could follow them
The historical context portion of the article is interesting and well written, but the critique of the open-concept layout at the end seemed rushed and unconvincing.

Anyone here who lives in a modern open-concept house care to comment?

I currently live with my wife, 3 children and 2 dogs in a 1200 square foot split level and we all dream of a big open-concept house some day... but apparently some people are getting tired of theirs and adding walls back in?

REALLY appreciate it!!!
It’s really hard to take that seriously. If social media is causing you heartburn then back away from it or delete your accounts. I deleted my Facebook account nearly a decade ago and deleted my Reddit account last year. Nobody is forcing you to be a drug addict slave of online media.

Some of your list looks like entitled anxiety desperately in search of sympathy. For example you mention rising sea levels. Do you own ocean front property or did you just list that for some abstract reason? In most countries corruption is at record low levels. Wages are also at record high levels.
> impossible standard

Not the case. The worst case with nuclear is much worse than with solar, even if the possibility is unlikely. We expect insanely high standards for airplanes and the standards should be even higher for nuclear plants. We should account for the possibility that civilization collapses or an unexpected event reduces a plant to rubble. In both of those cases solar is fine but nuclear is not.
we tend to think anyone sliding around corners and squealing tires to be one as well. this driver wad doubling down.
It worked as it was supposed to...eventually. Instead of double-checking the initial results, hundreds of research papers by many research teams looked into questions that would be very important, if the genes in question were connected to depression.

Sure, it is great that it's not (quite) religious dogma, and it eventually gets revisited. But, a couple decades worth of work and ~1000 research papers, many of which took place AFTER the earlier 2005 paper that called into question the link to depression, is by no means what we should shoot for.

More fundamentally, there was nothing in the system that motivated anyone to do replication of the original link. The problem is not that the original link turned out to be spurious, and it's not that anyone did anything unethical. More worrisomely, nobody appears to have done anything unethical, but because of the systemic incentives for research grants, tenure, etc., replication of the foundational result wasn't attempted in a serious enough way until many times that much work had been done on something spurious.
This feedback is SO FREAKING valuable...

Could really use this kind of evaluation of our new platform.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19964067
I completely agree. A lot of what my team works on is finding those cases where a 3D view has a very high value. One example is a project we worked on that allows construction companies to use the 3D CAD data for their project as a setting to move equipment through. It's not unheard of for a company to bring a piece of equipment on site only to find it cannot move through a given space because material is in the way. Sometimes a partially complete structure which could've been built later is impassable. This is a situation in which a completely 3D representation is really powerful and the effort can save significant money in the long run.

I think there are absolutely cases where 3D interfaces will blow away 2D ones. We're on the road to discovering those. But the industry has had a tendency to try to take what works in 2D and make a 3D version, often ending with a user experience that is less intuitive and less powerful.

The 3D interfaces that are really going to make a difference will probably take decades to invent/discover. Our 2D interfaces have had literally thousands of years to develop.
That's not what's happening according to the article:

"Given the stakes, everyone involved is checking and rechecking their results for possible sources of error. Increasingly, though, it looks like the problem lies not with the observations but with the theories of cosmology that underpin them. If those theories are wrong or incomplete, the interpretation of the Planck readings will be flawed, too."
There, clearer and smoother remote work
Rather, the difference between "a founder can be anyone" and "anyone can be a founder."

Why is there any doubt about the age of the manuscript? Hasn't it been carbon-dated?
You can alway do that, the question is (as the other comments told) "will your users get meaningful answers?"

You could simply use Excel (it has PCA) also to test your ideas. There are many resources on Internet.
I’ve been fortunate to have landed in a financial position where I’m not scraping by as a millennial but having worked for several years in SF tech one thing that I have felt increasing unease with is the feeling that the companies I’ve worked for might not actually be a net positive for the world. My problem is more existential than economic, which is very much a first world problem but a problem for me nonetheless.

Yes, works beautifully on mobile! Even supports multi-touch. Awesome job.
My wife and I are not having kids.

If you could sum it up into one short explanation as to why:

My wife and I don't believe that the future is going to be a better place.

Chief among the reasons are wealth inequality and buying power. If I can barely afford to buy a house now with a great job, I shudder to think what my kids would be faced with.
I don't trust the "delete" button to scrub it from FB's database.

I'd be slightly more confident (slightly) that editing the post might cause the core data in the db to be updated, however. In which case, I think the more effective script would be one that goes through all of your FB posts and scrambles them, or replaces the text with gibberish.
