From a western (uk) perspective I would say theres Americanisation going on, where in the past there would have been a diversity of opinions.

In the 80/90s we seemed to look to Japan for Business/technology and culture, to Europe for food, and culture as well as America. I suppose China has somewhat filled part of the gap, but it seems to be a near US monopoly at the moment.

It seems to me that being exposed to the diversity of the world is a good thing, becoming a copy of one other place not so much. This is of course highly subjective.

So to answer your question, being exposed to, and picking the best bits of western culture seems a net positive, becoming a generic western country not so much.

I have absolutely no idea where the balance is between 'progress' and 'tradition', and I don't even think I'd recognise the balance if I saw it. I'm not even sure if there is a balance. Perhaps we'll forever be bemoaning the loss of washi, whilst celebrating the things that replace it.
I've never seen Toyoda mentioned as the inventor of the lean model, I usually seen Taiichi Ohno credited for it.

I think it depends on the connection you use. If I turn off one of my monitors connected via DisplayPort, Windows 10 immediately moves everything to the monitors that are still on. My last computer, with monitors connected via DVI did not do this.
The main thing you gain is crisp and legible small point text for displaying large amounts of code, terminal outputs, etc without taking up large amounts of desk space. I have both standard DPI (~110) and higher dpi (180-220) displays all sitting next to each other at my desk right now. The high res ones look drastically better and are much easier on the eyes. It is quite noticeable.

This resolution is not particularly crazy either, it is the standard DPI of all of Apple's gear for the last 6 years or so and much lower resolution than most tablets & phones. One of the bottlenecks for moving this tech beyond Apple laptops and all-in-ones (of which I am not a huge fan) has been the lack of standard external connections with enough bandwidth for these displays.
Thank you for sharing.

Lots of companies are shifting from a monolith to microservices and "Chassis" is not a well-known microservice pattern (is it really a pattern...).

Do you have any plan to open source it? Have you ever tried any other solution?
It isn't really fraud unless we start regulating and prosecuting it. And we don't, right?

This has been going on forever, though. So I doubt we'll do anything about it. And should we?

I mean, how is it really different than saying something is 50% off and leaving the price the same, but just jacking up the list price 100%?

The computer's ability to reorganize windows is independent of whether the monitor is on or off. For outputs like HDMI we don't even know if it's on or of, we only know whether the cable is connected.

What you're complaining about is entirely a software problem. No improvements to display standards will move the situation forward.

By the way, if you're using Linux, consider switching your desktop environment.
G is apparently losing a lot of product related search to Amazon, I suggest that the 'siloing' of the web, for better or worse, might yield some progress here.

i.e. when you search, you start in a relevant domain instead of Google so Amazon for products, Stack Exchange for CS questions.

Obviously not ideal either.

> Any particular reasons we shouldn't all march on the camps and dismantle them?

Camps are only a small part of the problem. What do you do next ? The question is how do you handle such big influx of people without collapsing and without treating them like cattle, the answer to that is: you can't and you'll never be able to.

What people don't seem to understand is that a homeless dude in Germany has it better than 80% of the world outside of the US/EU. Is it unfair ? yeah sure, can you solve it though massive migration ? No, you couldn't fit 10% of the third world in the US/EU without making it collapse.

Seeing other comments downvotes it seems like this topic isn't even open for discussion anymore. Why does everyone have to go emotional and compare everything to Nazi Germany ? When you want to "march" on something you first have to understand why it's there and how it came to be. The cold truth is that this topic is extremely complex and all the solutions that are less than XX pages long can be completely ignored on the spot.
It's more similar to an antenna that isn't an array. But you could compare an antenna array to a microphone array, sure. They both work by tweaking the phase and relative gain to arbitrarily change directivity without a need for physical directivity techniques. Like how home voice assistants and multi-antenna wifi APs achieve long distance reception without also amplifying 360 degrees of noise. They do a thing not unlike camera autofocus in that they quickly home in on whatever optimizes s/n.
Gotta say, that's a damn talented mechanic they had on that episode.
i disagree that there isnt a way, just that nobodies tried a good one yet.

take reddit for example. it should be very easy to establish a few voters who make "good" decisions, and then extrapolate their good decisions based on people with similar voting patterns. it would combine a million monkeys with typewriters with expert meritocracy. you want different sorting, sort by different experts until you get the results you want. it seems every platform is too busy fighting noise to focus on amplifying signal, or are focused on teaching machines to do the entire task, instead of using machines to multiply the efficiency of people with taste who can make a good judgement call with regard to whether something is novel or or pseudo-intellectual. Not to pick on them, but I would suspect an expert to be better at deranking aeon/brainpickings type clickbait than an eruditelike ai, if only because humans can still more easily determine if someone is making an actual worthwhile point, vs repeating a platitude, conventional wisdom, or something hollow.
The reason for desktops is rather simple. GPUs aren't there yet to support such high resolutions with high framerates at the same time. Since it's too expensive to have one monitor for each use case (one for text, one for video, one for games etc.), they provide some middle ground.

I'd take high refrersh rate with medium resolution (2.5K or something) over high resolution with low refresh rate.

So it has nothing to do with inertia, there are multiple reasons involved.
> I like to take photos of many things that tourist photos don't show: random city streets, bicycles, vending machines, cars, graffiti, other tourists, locals, shopping districts, residential districts, trains, signs, Apple stores, grocery stores, etc. I like to try to capture what life is really like in a place, good and bad, and a book of tourist photos isn't going to show you that.

That's great, it's good to take photos like that as a tourist and I wouldn't judge anyone taking photos of any kind in that whole category. But to be clear, i'm talking about something quite different, they are not photos, they are just an extension of social network selfies, "proof I was here", it's about excessive concern with self-image and nothing else - when taken to the extreme in the ways I so commonly see now, it has absolutely no relation to how one takes a genuine photo to capture happy moments, personally unique interests etc when visiting or exploring. These other people have become the extremities of a robot feeding an algorithm.

Some previous discussion 2 weeks back on our unmanned test on a closed road at 55: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20177593. There we were testing our emergency procedures, safety operations, hardware checklists, and running through the game plan for the unmanned run.

For this milestone we're making public today, we demonstrated our truck driving without a person in it on a public highway.

It was remote-controlled (teleoperated) from a rest position onto the highway, supervised by the same driver at higher speeds, and then driven off the highway to a stopped position again by the same driver.

Also really good: Deming wrote his perspective in "Out of Crisis" and Toyota's Taiichi Ohno wrote about his experience in "Toyota Production System: Beyond Large-Scale Production". As others have mentioned, Deming laid the ground work for this type of thinking in post-war Japan. Taiichi Ohno led the initial development of the Toyota Production System.
That is a software decision. The nice thing about DisplayPort is that now we can find out if the monitor is on or off and connected or not. It is software's decision to move everything away when the monitor is off but still plugged. I agree this is a bad decision.

Do you understand the reasoning for it?

First of all, we don't know if these children belong to their "parents" or if they're emotional manipulation tokens. We don't know if they're abused, and it's hard to know until we take the children away. We also don't want them to be abused going forward, whether by the parents or anyone else; would you take a child and place them into a normal jail in America?

It is extremely unfortunate, but it is also literally the only safe option. The children receive better care and a safer environment separated than they would otherwise. It's not amazing care, and obviously some of these children who have had horrific journeys northward are going to perish, but it's a far cry from a "nazi concentration camp" like other, over-the-top posters here are pretending.

Don't want your children taken away from you? Don't try to illegally enter another country! Breaking the law _always_ separates parents from their children. It's not like we put kids in jail when their parents commit felonies, citizens or no.

It's interesting that you know multiple such people, but what matters is the statistical reality. Do such "frivolous" loan-takers represent anything even remotely approaching a majority of all who have loans, to justify a sweeping generalization or affect policy?

Sure, sadly lots of crime and drugs in Sussex - I'd imagine Brighton on its own accounts for a lot of it, and there is the county lines phenomenon everywhere. That doesn't change the upsurge in London. I'd also be extremely suspicious about taking the official crime statistics at face value - the history of their manipulation is long and detailed.
This is the same tired excuse my friend made when he got a loud bike.

It’s just not true. He later told me he enjoys the feeling (vibrations) and that there was something primal about “taming” something that sounds powerful.

As for car drivers, you should be assuming they can’t see you. Driving defensively is the only way to stay alive and you can argue that it shouldn’t be that way but it doesn’t make it any less true.
Musk as the CEO of anything has been less than great. At PayPal e was forced out, at Tesla <no comment take your own conclusions> and at SpaceX my understand is he is at arm’s length and has someone else administer the company - which appears to be just about the smartest thing he’s done.

Interestingly, ergodicity has two meanings (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ergodic):

1. of or relating to a process in which every sequence or sizable sample is equally representative of the whole (as in regard to a statistical parameter)

2. involving or relating to the probability that any state will recur
especially : having zero probability that any state will never recur

Nassim Taleb mostly uses ergodicity in the second meaning, while the article concentrates on the first. I find it utterly confusing.

I wonder if anyone has considered reverberation in these measurements. It's going to make the noise louder than it would otherwise be.

Basically, the loudness of a sound hitting your ear is a combination of multiple factors:

1. How loud the sound source is.

2. How close your ear is to it.

3. How much it reverberates or dissipates.

Imagine if a hand dryer were installed outdoors in an open field. Sound would emanate from the dryer, then wander off never to return.

Now imagine a hand dryer in a room with carpet and some soft furniture like a couch. Sound would emanate from the dryer, and some of it would hit surfaces that absorb it. But some of the sound would also hit reflective surfaces like walls or glass, and that reflected sound could come back to your ear and increase the total noise level.

Now consider what a bathroom is like. For ease of cleaning, it's entirely hard surfaces. Concrete, porcelain, tile, metal, etc. These absorb almost no sound. And bathrooms are typically pretty small rooms. It's basically the worst case for taking an already-loud thing and making nearly all the noise reach your ear.

> Why does everyone have to go emotional and compare everything to Nazi Germany?

This rhetoric has been turned up to 11 recently and it is far more worrisome than any so-called white nationalists are, who at best have ineffective and lame demonstrations that most people ignore.

Having a cultural narrative of guilt for actions of others imposed upon the descendants of people who actually fought them is insane and it will end up with a reaction of its own. There's only so long you can call people horrible names before they lose their power, and you end up with young people like youtuber Soph who are _so over_ caring about being labelled in this fashion. When the words lose their power, and when continual attempts to silence dissent fail, what's next?

Outside of gaming, I don't buy this. You don't need an exceptionally powerful GPU to render web pages at 4K; the fact that there are 4K phones out there is proof that this isn't true.

This Toyota stuff gets a little bit of a bad rap in some circles, because of the infamous "TPS report" thing - some people believe it's a reference to "Toyota Production System." My understanding is that the Office Space reference was actually meant to be to Testing Procedure Specification documents, but it's hard to be sure.

In any case, Toyota / Lean / etc. is a mindset that has a lot of really good ideas embedded in it. I'm sure you can take it and distort it and come up with a monstrosity (like people do with "Agile") but the core stuff is really good.

As noted by lemax, The Machine That Changed The World is a really good book on this topic.

It's also interesting to note that a lot of the "Toyota" system was inspired by the teachings of an American, W. Edwards Deming. If I recall the story correctly, Deming was pushing these ideas on statistical process control, and nobody in America would listen to him, so he want to Japan and they embraced his stuff, ran with it, and it helped them become a manufacturing juggernaut.
What the $63 Billion AbbVie Allergan deal says about the drug industry
Couple of years ago a significant news site here in .no had their ad network hacked. The result was that if you were browsing that site that morning, and was a customer of the largest bank in .no, you'd silently got served some software which would do a MITM attack against the online account page of said bank, redirecting any payments you did without your knowledge.

All you had to do was to visit that site with Java installed on that computer, which most users of said bank did because their 2-factor login relied on Java...

So yeah, don't click on random links.
I visited Japan a couple months ago during "Golden Week", which is their big national vacation week. Several of the sites I visited were absolutely packed with (Japanese) tourists. No one was vandalizing anything, littering, or even acting rude and obnoxious, or in any way I could see breaking any of the rules. As an American, it was rather weird because American tourists wouldn't be like this at all. It's pretty amazing to see a culture where people know how to act properly even when there's a high degree of crowding.
your statement about suicide is incorrect. Females actually attempt suicide more often than males, but males tend to use methods which are more likely to succeed.

Not just bigger egos: instagrammers naturally compete for attention, it's basically their job to one-up their peers. Regular tourists may occasionally want to do so as well, but it's entirely optional for them.

It's like professional vs recreational sports: some hobbyists might be misguided enough to take PEDs, but for a struggling professional they will appear like a possible livelihood-saver.
