You seem to assuming as much bad faith as you believe the OP is assuming. Is this (edit: your preference re: muting) a generational thing? Because I definitely see it as a reasonable expectation that somebody at a telemeeting would be visible-by-default, and only muted in specific circumstances such as large meetings, or after citing some abnormal local situation (e.g. not "presentable"). I believe body language is important and generally find communication still has "dimensional" improvements in efficiency, moving from text chat to voice to video+voice.

However, I can also see that my expectations are not shared by you, based on your strong response. My gut tells me this is related to different communication norms with "digital natives." I think your assumptions of malice and inability to learn on the part of the manager are misplaced.
Advice I'd give:

- Discipline yourself to train your musical skill between 14 and 20. It is fine to also try to win over girls with it (I thought it was disingenuous at the time, I was wrong).

- If you can stick to programming, do it. Just be sure to find fun in it while sticking to it, if not it's okay to drop it.

- Rush through university in 3 years (bachelor and master) in business informatics and call it a day. Do keep an active social life though and do the honours program as well. If you can't help yourself, do an academic gap year with very varied courses after your master.

- For your master, you may want to consider going to another country. If you want to work in the USA, then try to see if you can get a cheapish US master that will allow you to quality for the H1B visa.

- During this time, learn coding on your own, enough resources available by now.

- If you have issues with being social, I wrote a guide. It's attached. You'll be fine.

- If you feel addicted to video games, understand it's social contact that you're after. So simply get more of a social life.

- By doing this: your life will be nothing like mine. You'll encounter your own set of issues which shows how gritty life really is. You'll simply have to deal with it. Also, life could be far grittier so count your blessings!

You're right, it does need some type of ranking. I think the endorsement could be something like that. Instead of having journals endorse it, let specific academics do it. So if Dr. John Doe really likes an article, he can endorse it personally, and put his personal reputation up to bat for it.

And then have an algorithm that sorts based on endorsements, or how trusted the endorsers are ('Do you agree with this endorsement', or how many endorsements they themselves have). Let the authors easily input all the topics they want as tags, making it easy to search as well. And, of course, public comments about what would need to change to get an endorsement, as well as allowing readers to look at all previous versions of an article to see what changed. Basically, let the academics take care of endorsing and topic tagging themselves.
I thought Civic (https://www.civic.com) was one of the most interesting projects to come out of the blockchain space for secure identity, but haven’t really seen it adopted anywhere. Facebook sign in is everywhere, but Facebook is also completely untrustworthy when it comes to personal data and so I tend to avoid it whenever possible. This idea of sharing attributes seems interesting but does it go any further than “This app wants access to your email address, contacts, and photos” that already exists?

Typing was quite a bit different when stenotype machines were invented. As an old(er) person who learned to type on a manual typewriter with paper you had to insert, sheet by sheet, by hand, and use white out to cover up your mistakes, typing was a whole different ball of wax. Typing back then when you had to firmly strike each key with the same force to make sure the letter would print clearly was much slower and more tiring. It would have been virtually impossible to type as fast as you speak with that equipment. With modern keyboards and computer its easily attainable.

I second this, except I wouldn't put so many eggs in one basket.

To the critics: The viability of Musk's underground highway concept is irrelevant. The basic premise of Musk's original concept was to cut down the cost of tunneling by orders of magnitude. The first optimization is focusing on boring 14-foot diameter tunnels. 14 feet is larger than many subway tunnels in London and Budapest, and about 1 foot shy of some Moscow subway tunnels.

A tunnel is a tunnel--nothing prevents building them as a closed rail network with proper trains. If a Boring Company tunnel couldn't support electrical equipment, then run the trains on batteries. Yes, the basic math of moving people indisputably favors trains, but that doesn't mean you can't apply many of the other engineering and financial concepts from Musk's underground highway concept.

I understand that tunneling, per se, isn't the primary cost of building subways; it's the stations. But if the Boring Company can deliver on just one order of magnitude decrease in tunneling costs, then any public official or engineer who balks at 14-foot tunnels should be booted out of their position.[1] Optimize for the ridiculously cheap 14-foot tunnels and everything else will fall into place. I would expect the engineering and budgeting processes for the more efficient tunnel construction to have a moderating effecting on station design, making it less likely we'd blow so much money on extravagant stations. If tunneling were just 10% cheaper then probably the money would just be shifted elsewhere, but faced with 10x cheaper tunnel construction irresponsible and bloated requirements would stand out.[2]

[1] For example, with an order of magnitude reduction in capital costs then arguments regarding incompatibility with existing equipment (cars, tracks, etc) wouldn't even be reasonable on their face. At those costs just deal with the additional system or, better yet, change everything else! If a Geary Blvd subway in San Francisco could be built so cheaply, then it might make sense to replace and build out the existing MUNI light-rail lines with the Geary technology.

[2] Not an example of bloat, but, for example, with enough cost savings then it may be cheaper to skip elevators and escalators in many stations and simply operate a large fleet (much larger than what exists already) of door-to-door shuttles for the incapacitated.

Not really as it will stop increase of carbon dioxide. Ocean carbon dioxide also comes from the atmosphere a system where carbon dioxide is just recycled through the atmosphere and oceans system will mean we won't be adding more carbon in the system. That is the current problem the world is producing more and more carbon each year first we need to stop the growth at least reversing it can come once we stop increasing it.
Those aren't contradictory. Historically, the intended purpose of University education has always been scholarship, research, exchange of knowledge and ideas etc. If you didn't want that, you would go find an apprenticeship or enroll in trade school.

The whole "have to go to college to get a job" requirement is a very recent development, and that is what the article is speaking against.
The thing about ECC vs. non-ECC. If you don't have ECC, you don't know silent bit corruption is happening, and when it's finally (if it's ever) discovered, there's nothing that can be done. ECC (SECDED) keeps data safer than it would be otherwise.

ECC is necessary for anything real or important based on the financial cost of losing data. For everything else, it can be optional.

Plus, don't forget the security issues of bitsquatting and other attacks that are the real results of silent bitflips.

This is just my theory, but bear with me.

1) Each trip has an economic purpose

2) Thus each trip has an economic value

3) The trip will happen if the economic value is greater than the cost of suffering in traffic (Otherwise, it is not worth it & will not)

4) Ergo the trips that will be added by reducing congestion must be the trips of the lowest economic value.
Good. But on that note, there are ample opportunities to get an affordable education in the US. You just have to make 2 simultaneous decisions. 1) Go to a public school, 2) Stay in-state.

Why the hell are so many people choosing non-public and out of state schools? Do people really think that double the cost gets you double the returns?
Oh, that's cool! Seems like it's not malicious then (though it may be the case that the media creation tool doesn't allow you to download a higher level of Win10 - the normal ISO download allows you to install Win10 Home OR Pro during setup, unless your computer has an embedded license key in which case it automatically installs that version).

That also explains why I always had to flash the ISO to a USB stick with Rufus (inside VirtualBox) - just `dd` or `cat`ing it onto /dev/sdX never worked.
In Georgia, cities pay to maintain all of their local roads and onramps w/ property and sales taxes.

> But rarely in these discussions will you find relevant mathematical considerations. If the goal is to compute a Fibonacci number or a factorial, the proper solution is not a recursive function, but rather knowledge of mathematics.

If you want precise results for large sizes, then the integer-arithmetic recurrence is faster than computing the square root of 5 to very high precision and raising it to the nth power.

The author’s “proper solution” might better be named the “naive undergraduate introductory linear algebra student solution”. Or maybe “18th century analytic solution ignorant of computer number formats”.

> They run in constant [...] time

If we are going to artificially limit ourselves to numbers smaller than the precision of e.g. double precision floats, then the integer algorithms might just as well be considered “constant time”, where the constant is just whatever it takes to compute the largest value we are considering.

Or alternately we can just precompute and cache the entire set of them if we want. There are only 78.

> The thing about optimism is that if you believe there is a solution, you'll keep working until you find it. If you're pessimistic, you're more likely to give up if there solution isn't obvious. Successful people are often optimistic because it's useful.

By now many in the HN crowd have likely spotted the survivorship bias here. Sometimes optimistic people will keep working toward a solution to a problem until they find it, even if no actual solution can ever exist. Those are the optimistic failures you never hear about.

Likewise, sometimes pessimists are rightfully pessimistic about something that has no solution, and end up moving on much sooner to something better. You rarely hear about that either.

It doesn’t matter whether you are optimistic or pessimistic, what’s important is to be optimistic or pessimistic for the correct reasons.

Reviewing every paper by just one to three qualified people is already hard and putting a lot of strain on the system. Trying to solve that by "just have everybody read everything and endorse what they like" is going to break it. Or rather most paper will never be read nor endorsed by a professional. All it would do it turn science into even more of a who like whom.

A weird thing about some early discrete arcade games is that they generated 3x5 pixel digits without a ROM. They used a 7448 seven-segment decoder -- you know, like those cool LCD/LED clock radios. A BCD counter drives the 7448, then it feeds into a couple of multiplexers and a handful of gates, which generates the video signal.

I gotta think there's a better way, but I'm not inclined to second-guess these designers.
It is pretty common in Vermont and it is not only about veggies (meat and poultry too). You can just write a check or pay by cash and take change(if you need) from the cash register which is open. It is not based on the honor system (pay as much as you want) but on decency and trust, you have to weight everything and calculate price for goods by yourself but there is no one who is watching you.

Ask HN: Should professional data be signed?
I would like to propose that every frame of production-grade material should be signed. Every frame from a photojournalist's camera should be signed. Every frame from an speaker, journalist, author microphone or pick-up should be signed. This has been done at the high end from the beginning: doctors sign their notes, engineers sign their drawings, artists sign their paintings. Developers now sign their code. And it's possible that content that's being put out with the assertion that society should pay your for it, should be signed as close to the sensor as possible. Every manipulation should be signed. And the whole network of signatures should be traceable. Ultimately, we're going to need this.

What I'm not talking about is your personal iPhone's pictures. The bar to entry to society should be low. The bar to entry in the professions should be high.

Ideally, the browser should show a broken lock whenever the page you're reading has broken content, that is, content where the chain of signatures accumulated in production has been broken, or is backed by a root certificate you don't trust.

Let's take lab results. A variety of Congressional laws establish some inspection regimes over labs that produce data for human medical treatment. Should not the FDA sign a de novo or 510(k) certificate for the manufacturer? And then the manufacturer signs the machine as an intermediary. Medical societies and the state licensing boards similarly sign for the pathologists that run the labs. The pathologist running the lab, receiving the machine, should then countersign the certificate that machine uses to sign further intermediaries for regular QA periods. As QA processes are performed, the governing body (FDA, CAP, etc) can countersign as survey results are entered and pass. Then the machine, which passed QC within the last 24 hours (signed for by an authorized tech) signs the results. So you have confidence all the way to the result of who did what, from the original scientific paper to the result for the patient in the ER. In my mind this seems obvious. Why isn't it done already?
