How is FCA not making a profit off of them, especially the Hellcat? The platform that they ride on has to be paid off by now due to its age, and the Hellcat sells at a premium compared to the other products in the FCA lineup, with the exception of high trim Ram 1500/2500/3500's.
Why don't they make it explicit and award the athletes a degree in the sport they play, with appropriate but honest requirements?
>It wasn't that I hadn't earned it. It was because the old farts on the board wouldn't take me seriously.

Except getting them to take you seriously is part of your job in upper management. Age matters but your view of them as old farts makes me suspect you did nothing to gain their favor in other ways. As someone else said, those ways have little to do with job based merit.

I used to work 4x10 hour days, I took the Wednesday off though - no more than two days in a row was great, and having a day off in the week while most were at work was so much more efficient

I now take 2-4 hours a day off during the day instead.
All they do is complain, make special demands, then go on to block ads anyway. It makes it hard to care about those users.
Probably it's the part when i don't like to watch the dying mouse, but if it is mouse that is going to die anyway, what's the point of caring how exactly does it die? Would it suffer because cat plays with it, or because homeowner it is the most convenient way for the homeowner to kill it, is not important. If it was important, i would try to not allow it to die in the first place, but if i am ok with its death the whole "no suffering" thing is illogical, self righteous, and insincere https://youtu.be/pvhYqeGp_Do?t=26

Assuming your profile is anonymous, can you tell us what industry you're in and what your offers were paying? Just trying to get a comparison for what myself (and others) can expect.
> was specifically told by the CEO I would be considered for the position if not for my age

I’ve been told this and it sucks. I made the mistake of trying grovelling and complaining. Both failed for, with hindsight, fundamental reasons.

If you’re ambitious, you have to develop a political sense. Keeping stock of leverage relationships is key. If you lack leverage, you can’t make demands.

If you’d represented revenue and threatened to take it elsewhere, the CEO or Board may have overcome their biases. (If not, you’d get what you wanted by effecting the threat.)
Just as a note: linking to politico is no different than linking to Breitbart. It’s a incredibly partisan, biased source that blurs opinion into news.

Second: do you know the details of the deal? Because no press source knows them as of yet, as they weren’t released by either administration.

Just noting here for clarity. If you’d like to see the “other side”: https://www.breitbart.com/tag/tariffs/

Note: just as much propaganda, in the other direction, just as few details.

When they use light to perform matrix multiplication, is the product deterministic, or an approximation? Digital computers spend an enormous amount of energy on always getting the same answer, so if an algorithm doesn't need that level of precision, it makes sense that an efficient hardware approximation could be practical.
It's extremely common in Houston, Texas.

Also very common is uninsured motorists, unlicensed motorists, and unregistered vehicles; so make sure to have the appropriate coverage and look both ways even when you have the green light. I highly recommend front and rear dash cams.

This seems to be saying that Apple has a big mesh network play ready sometime soon.

Want to bet they have a good idea of coverage already and need some testing - they might not be able to see your location but they will see the location of every phone passing your public key encrypted bits back - they get to test their mesh network ? Or am I missing something?
Oh, thanks, that's nice to know, I missed that. I always liked WinAPI style and I hope that it'll reborn.
No it isn't. It does not have any long term exposure effects due to ingestion of residue on produce.
This is the issue. Yellow light lengths are also inconsistent: I don't know what to expect. Could be long, could be short. It's not always safe to suddenly stop, and we don't know which is which.
When I lived in Phoenix, they had those. The leading left green arrow would be triggered when there were three cars or more waiting to turn left, otherwise you would get normal green that needs to yield to oncoming traffic and it usually took the entire light cycle for traffic to clear.

The first car would stop at the normal line. The second car would wait a full car length behind and only move forward when a third car arrived. This way, you could trigger the "intelligent" light with only two cars instead of three and save yourself a full light cycle.
Would you be satisfied if the technology was allowed on the condition it met a minimum threshold for accuracy?
I am VP engineering in a 100 person company with 30 engineers. Noone is asked to work more than 40 hours and <5% do actually work more.
I will happily have someone work 4 days 8 hours and 30% of our devs are in such a model.
But I would not go below this (especially not less than 4 days in the office). Devs aren't working in total isolation, but are heavily involved in their cross functional product teams. Reducing availability further has an above linear hit on team productivity as colleagues become more and more blocked in their own tasks.

So: just saying this is more complex than looking at increased per-hour productivity of a single person
other HN threads have debated heavily about why the startup industry is centered in SV, given its ultra high cost of living and labor. and yet, despite everything, SV remains at the center.

and that's why i think your explanation is closer to the truth. higher salaries for older workers wouldn't matter. what does matter is that management thinks older workers will bring the wrong sauce to the product, exhibit reasonable skepticism of the (probably unsuccessful) product concept, generally fail to buy in to the vision and sass their 24 year old masters.
It’s not a market at all, because participation, realistically speaking, is involuntary for most sellers. It’s closer to a feudal contract than an actual market.

One thing I've enjoyed doing is taking projects with a permissive license, e.g. MIT or Apache and rewriting them in my language of choice.

To start with it's a mechanical exercise in transcription but you begin to learn more about the problem domain and get ideas for side avenues and questions to explore. And at the end of it all you've enriched an ecosystem and can give any improvements back to the original project.
I said 'safest' - I don't know who you're quoting with 'best'.

But if your options are hard breaking or hard accelerating, it's easy to see when hard acceleration is better - when someone is immediately behind you and the road ahead is clear, and then for example someone swerving into your lane from the side

Is this scheme where the public key can somehow rotate on it's own, while still being decryptable by the unrotated private key a new thing?

I had not heard of it before.

Edit: This other comment in the thread points at an article with some guesses as to how it might work. It mentions a system called Elgamal that has a scheme somewhat like my description above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20134956

Huh, what happened?
It doesn't in my car (Nissan Qashqai). You can floor it and it will accelerate up to the limiter's setpoint and stay there. It would kind of defeat the point of it to disengage in this situation.

I use it in 30 and 40mph zones, where there's a lot of traffic, speed cameras etc., and sticking the limiter on means you're not going to go over the limit.
Absolutely. Trump also serves as a case study of what kinds of safeguards exist within the American political system to prevent an incumbent president from really moving the needle. You cant go too far off script in the white house. You can be an embarrassing PR nightmare if you like, that's fine. So long as you keep supporting the institutions that have their grip on American democracy it's no problem.
re: Bernhardt's tweet —

> This is exactly what many of us predicted when NPM introduced a world of thousands of separate dependencies per app. The main reactions to that skepticism were "stop being so negative" and "don't try to stop progress."

I'm sure "many of us" predicted planes would crash when they first took flight, but nonetheless the benefits of commercial air travel vastly outweigh the risks.

npm, having been a huge benefit to developers and the JS ecosystem for many years, should not have its problems dismissed with an "I told you so" attitude.
> is that really discrimination?

Along similar lines, we have a decent amount of senior (read "older") people at our company that are well paid. But, most of the work we do can be done by less experienced people who are much cheaper. That almost always means they are young. We don't discriminate based on age, but if you just looked at the ages of people that we mostly hire then that data would look like we're discriminating based on age when age is not part of the decision at all.
Well aware of how C++ structures have issues with ABI compatibility, as well as the various linked-on-or-after checks ;) Note that DriverKit on NeXTSTEP, on which IOKit is based, was written in Objective-C. The switch to embedded C++ for Mac OS X was done to attract developers comfortable in the language, AFAIK.
It's a lot more nuanced than that. The simple fact is that we know most of the genome is useless. Evolution has already done the experiment for us. Many organisms (such as pufferfish) have almost no non-coding DNA. Maybe you could argue that we have lots of non-coding DNA because we are so amazing (actually from a biological perspective we are very close to other vertebrates such as pufferfish), but then you'd have to explain why many algae and amoebas have larger genomes than the human one. The only reasonable explanation that is congruent with the facts is that that the bulk of non-coding DNA is non-functional and its presence or absence is irrelevant.
I want to ask you about something.

But first I want to say that renewable energy is immensely more practical than it was a decade ago, and it is going to continue to improve. Beyond that, there are strong forces pushing its adoption. Besides global climate change, there is air pollution and the desire of many countries to become independent of expensive fossil fuel imports.

My question to you is what is your view of anthropogenic global climate change? Do you think it is a hoax or real and a grave danger? And if the latter, then what do you think should be done?
Charity is something money buys.

The freedom to choose doesn't require enough income for a frugal lifetime without work. It just requires enough income to find a more rewarding job. The marginal benefit declines, the longer you look the more likely you are to find what you're searching for. That's why I only keep a year's worth of takehome on easy access (apart from my pension, house equity, etc.)

A life without a job is a life without purpose. People who retire early die early. Even outside a conventional job, money is proof that you create value; if there's no money in whatever activity you choose, it's probably a consumption good.

It'll like be pursued by other companies if it's beneficial, but currently this is theoretical, doesn't scale, and while they speak to power consumption there's no mention to computation speed (FLOPS).

Exciting yes, but like battery tech, there's a lot to address in that last mile to market.
I find it suspect how as soon as I say young people get discriminated on, a bunch of people who I'd assume are older than in their 20s, come out and defend such discrimination.

I'm not that young anymore. I called them old farts because that is what they were. They discriminated on me based on my age alone, so that makes them old farts in my book. I wouldn't have been considered for the director position without any leverage, the numbers dropped for a good while after I left.

There are respectable old men and women. Just like there are respectable young men and women and there are snot nose kids who discriminate against old people. In general, people who discriminate lose the right to respect from me and I might refer to them in a despective tone when commenting on an anonymous site where I'm answering informally.
Being in said county, they actually time and report the light timing on the traffic tickets. They actually don't undertime any of the lights from my experience. We really do have bad drivers.

But what happens here is, they pick an intersection, add lights, catch people running it for 2 years, eventually it drops to 0 as everyone gets used it and then proceed to move it to another intersection as the county still pays a minimum invoice to the vendor per month. And once they move it people start running it and the cycle repeats.

The shitty part is the cameras also flagging right hand red turns, you have to basically sit "3 seconds" stopped before doing so by law but it sure as shit better be "double mississipi seconds" or you get a ticket. So people just stop making right on reds at camera intersections and slow down traffic for everyone.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s legal where I’m from but wasn’t when I tried it the first few times.

The heart rate thing sounds like it is what gets me, like a moment of panic of, “oh shit I’m about to die!!” The times where I have pushed past that and chilled out it was more enjoyable, but even knowing it’s not going to kill me, I can’t help but worry I’m the first person who is going to OD on a few puffs of a joint.

There is always the risk of rogue employees, but what they're probably talking about here is that they also can't be compelled to reveal the location by someone else. They probably don't want to actually say that since it might be misconstrued as trying to skirt the law or being uncooperative with law enforcement.
What "interviews" are you talking about? Your track record is supposed to speak for itself. The interview boils down to sitting down with a client and figuring out what they need and whether you can do it. Because you're a contractor you can be fired effortlessly, so there's very little risk for the client. You can also fire the client, so there's little risk for you.

I think you either don't have the right track record, or you're selling yourself incorrectly, by which I mean you're charging too little. Whiteboard interviews are out of the question as a contractor: I simply don't have time for this circus. One thing that helps with such things is pricing your services right. And that means charging more than you think is reasonable. The more you can charge, ironically, the easier these discussions get. The effect compounds further if you have several satisfied former clients who can give references.

My selling point is really simple, too: you've tried and you've failed, now let me show you what's possible.
Oh I get it now, thanks!
npm encourages an auto-upgrading versioning scheme: take version x or higher.

It's great for keeping dependencies up-to-date, but this makes it immensely vulnerable to the kind of malware injection, as publishing a library version with payload will immediately propagate throughout the ecosystem.

In most other version managers (e.g. maven) every library and application specifies a hard-coded version, which requires users to manually upgrade, giving a window were a malicious version can be detected before it affects anyone.
Why stop at adversarial interoperability? When we're talking about monopolistic participants, why not compel them to open the network and standards that are serving as a barrier to entry. We take for granted that a Verizon phone can call a T-Mobile user; the situation in social media in particular, as well as .doc/.docx, is archaic.
People have said the same thing about at least the two most recent previous presidents. There's zero chance of him not stepping down. Even if Trump were the type of person to try that, which he's not, in order for the type of coup you're talking about to work you have to have support of the military. Any attempt to do this would last all of about ten seconds.
Thank you for sharing. It’s interesting to hear how happy it made you. If you don’t mind expanding on that feeling I’d love to read more specifics.
I'd like to see how that stacks up and what the actual width of the turbulent flow is.
Again, what you are saying can be summed up in 'get over it' and 'find a way around it for yourself'.

That's fine. I actually did.

But it seems really inappropriate to say this here.

We are discussing the insidiousness of discrimination with the hope of socially being more conscious and finding ways to improve this.

It's kinda like going into a place with victims of racism and saying 'get over' and 'use your white voice/dress more white' when talking about the issue of racism. It's out of place, even if the suggestion is coming from a good place of wanting the best for the other person.

P.S. I had a department with large numbers and strong growth on my side for leverage, that is why the CEO considered me in the first place. The numbers took a big hit after I left. If the board would have had more people in their 40s and less in their 70s-80s, I would likely have been accepted. Explaining to me that this is politics is a bit pedantic in assuming I don't understand politics.
> It’s a incredibly partisan, biased source that blurs opinion into news.

We're living in a post-Thompsonian world. There's no difference anymore. The far left gets it, the right certainly gets it, it's the mainstream "liberal" J-school crowd who think there's still such a thing as objective reporting.
Location is encrypted with key, so just faking particular location is impossible. And I guess, they'll transmit some incrementing number or timestamp to fight re-transmission attacks.
Evidence suggests that having more time off increases productivity. And let's be honest, most people working 40+ hours/w are not working at 100% all the time. So one possibility is to slightly increase the working time (say by 1h) for each of the four days. That loses you half a day for work, but the increased productivity takes care of the balance. The caveat is that only works for businesses that are charging for output rather than time.

I've never been lucky enough to fly in an Avanti, but the noise comes from the turbine exhaust being interrupted at 2000 RPM times 5 blades per revolution. Other pushers I've heard, such as a Skymaster and Long-EZ also make that noise so it may have more to do with the prop being in turbulent air. It's very distinctive.

One reason housing is so expensive now compared to the 50s is that there are 10 working days per household now, and were 6 in the 50s.

With more money, the price of limited resources increases to fill the void.

If a 3 or 4 day week is mandated, there’s less for housing, it’s the same demand, the same supply, so prices have to come down.
>I don't think traffic lights need to be that smart, just scheduled. I have definitely not heard that European traffic should be significantly worse than US traffic.

They absolutely are scheduled in the US anywhere that's population dense enough. Compensating for rush hour traffic flow is a huge thing that requires the adjustments.
