It's not that it would degrade your health, it's that it wouldn't significantly impact it. Doing dedicated grip training, for example, will radically increase your grip strength (and I found it super fun to do/have), but it is very doubtful that it will increase your longevity. These correlations/proxies are based on aggregates of untrained people. Once you train it, it is no longer a good metric.

For things like walking speed, it's a little harder to game it without actually increasing your cardiovascular health. But without knowing why something is a proxy, it might be useless/less-useful. For example, if fast walking speed is due to a healthy cardiovascular system, and you notice that your walking speed is low, you might train your walking speed. With effort you might get your walking speed up to 'very fast for non-athletes'. But if you had poor CV health for some underlying reason, you wouldn't have addressed that reason, you would just have masked the proxy. Of course, training walking speed is likely to have positive effects on your CV health, so I'm not saying "don't bother walking faster", I'm just saying that it may cause it to be a much more flawed indicator.

Generally you get a big drop in efficiency on short trips, but once the car heats up it's not such a big difference. This means that in practice, cold is not usually a big problem: if you're going on short trips you have plenty of extra battery capacity anyway since you're not driving that far, so the efficiency drop doesn't matter so much, and if you're going on a long trip then most of your driving time will happen after the car has warmed up, so the average loss in efficiency over the total duration of the trip is not that big.

> ...elect to use a truck that someone else has manufactured rather than building your own, that's expected behavior.

To stretch the analogy a little further, if that "truck" happens to be an 18-wheeler with some crazy gearbox you've never operated it's quite normal to, instead, make several trips with your own wheelbarrow which you know you can handle. That, in many cases, might be easier than using the 18-wheeler without preparation/training.

> many of the operating costs onto employees, and whether that is covered.

Asking your company to pay your electricity cost and house wear and tear would be like a commuter asking them to pay for your shoes and clothes due to "wear and tear".

The last 2 points are valid though.
It is a bit different though.

In C++ static analysis is optional, while it is part of language in Rust.

Then there is the whole language culture.

While me coming from stronger system languages, always strived for bounds checking enabled on my own C++ projects, good luck selling that to most C++ teams, even though in 99% of the use cases its impact is negligible.

Finally going all the way back to NEWP, system languages that require explicit unsafe blocks are much easier to do code review, than those where every line of code can possibly trigger unsafe behaviour, and C++ inherited lot of such cases from C.
Jeff has been at this for a really long time now. If it is this hard to make progress, it is likely basic research that just requires a hard slog and also may not turn out in the end as all basic research is risky. My default bet then is against him because most basic research fails, with a small chance of success.
Native English speaker, very interested because I find my brain caught when I hear background noise in other (human) languages.

These days, I am hearing more Russian and Dutch. Along with Spanish, German and Swedish, impossible for me to speak but hovering at the edge of understanding, my brain cannot ignore when I hear them.

Programming languages, after 40 years of it I'm not aware of any particular effect of the English words. With "Wolfram Language", for instance, I think it would help if the words were based on Esperanto or Swahili, as I can never anticipate the magic invocations needed.

Language is weird.

Fuzzbuzz | Fuzzing Engineer (second engineer) | $150k-$180k + equity | Location TBD - South Bay, CA | Full-Time | ONSITE | YC W19

We're Fuzzbuzz (https://fuzzbuzz.io) and we're building a fuzzing as a service platform that integrates into CI systems and the modern SDLC.

We recently raised a $2.7M seed round [0] and we're looking to hire a Fuzzing Engineer to work full-time on, and own the technical direction of, a brand new state of the art fuzzing engine. A lot of research has been done in this space, but very little of it provides real benefits over AFL/Libfuzzer. We're building a fuzzer that works with real-world applications written in modern languages and will significantly change the role fuzzing plays in the SDLC.

We're currently 4 people, so we don't have any hard requirements, but the ideal person looks something like:

- Go/C/C++ experience (2+ years)

- Knowledge of or capability to learn advanced fuzzing techniques and optimizations

- Interest/experience with distributed systems, systems level programming and compilers

- Ability & desire to take full ownership of a product and define a new paradigm of software testing

Contact: jobs@fuzzbuzz.io - include "Hacker News" in the subject.

>In addition jet fuel in Europe is tax-free which enables these ultra low prices.

This kind of Orwellian double speak is amazing. Lack of tax leaves too low prices for the consumer!

If you really feel that this tax is important, you can always tax yourself! Anyone you can persuade can join you, voluntarily. Just estimate the tax you owe (through this as of now not yet enacted tax) and send a cheque to the national treasury, with "Gift" as memo. They will take it!

I hope this voluntary taxation idea catches on.
Yes, but average commute is a measure of average journey distances which in turn speaks to average longer journey lengths. Range is still the predominant limitation on electric cars.

Personally, I only commute a few km each day. An electic car would be great. But I also live in Canada. My monthly trip to my parents (500+km, two ferries) or my yearly trip to Winnipeg (2000+km, winter, including kicking horse pass), means that an electric car isn't an option. And the local insurance structure means two cars is equally impractical.
Magsafe gets sand and other crap stuck at worst, and falls out way too easily at best.

Will Apple pay for my medical bills when the inevitable happens? I will forever be a firm supporter of USB-C.

Kalepa | Machine Learning Engineers, Backend / Data Engineers, Full-Stack Engineers | New York City, NY | ONSITE / PARTIAL REMOTE, VISA

Kalepa is a New York based, VC backed, startup building software to transform and disrupt the $1T commercial insurance market.
Engineers at Kalepa will be solving interesting and challenging problems at the intersection of big data pipelines, cutting-edge machine learning models, intuitive frontend apps, and robust infrastructure. You will be working in a small team building technology from the ground up with the latest stack.

One trillion dollars are spent globally each year on commercial insurance. However, the process for estimating the risk associated with a given business across various perils is still reliant on inefficient and inaccurate forms and research. This information asymmetry leads to a broken set of incentives and a poor experience for both businesses and insurers alike. By combining cutting edge data science, enterprise software, and insurance expertise, Kalepa is delivering precision underwriting at scale. Kalepa is turning real-world data into a complete understanding of risk.

Kalepa is led by a strong team with experiences from Facebook, APT (acquired by Mastercard for $600M in 2015), the Israel Defense Forces, MIT, Berkeley, and UPenn. We are backed by IA Ventures.

I agree entirely!

I often sit between the business and tech orgs, so the way I explain it to the business is this: I can get you detailed status reports and metrics, but they will slow progress and be expensive. So think about why you need that information: if there are legitimate business reasons with dollars attached, go for it. If it’s just to soothe your anxiety about the timeline, a therapist will be far cheaper and more effective.

Looking at individual company tax returns is the wrong solution to this problem. It's not just ineffective, it's dishonest.

It's tempting to take a "tax the bastards" viewpoint and argue that the tax-avoiding companies are the problem, that they're freeloading, scamming the government. That's the message you get from the presidential candidates. But that argument wilfully ignores the most important fact: tax incentives are the way the government pays people and companies to change their behavior.

The incentive says the government will pay you $X if you do some specific thing. Install solar panels, cut carbon emissions, employ members of a vulnerable population. There are thousands of options. They use the tax process to distribute the rewards because it's simpler and cheaper that way.

Low-tax companies are just the ones who operate in spaces with a lot of these incentives. Identifying the companies isn't relevant, the companies aren't the problem. You want to instead identify the incentives that are eating up your revenue. How much does your solar panel incentive cost? That kind of thing.

And before you ask: Yes, offshore income arrangement are another tax incentive. They're more complicated beause they involve several countries competing on tax rates, but it's just another version of the same problem.
As a Norwegian who just replaced a diesel car with an electric car, there are a few factors which is making EVs very attractive here:

- EVs are VAT (25%) exempt, and in addition avoid the extra duty due to no CO2 or NOX emissions. As an example a VW Golf 1.0 115HP TSI[1] gasoline version is about 37.5k USD from dealer. Without VAT or emission duties[2], that Golf would be about 23k USD, where 8.4k USD is the emission duties.

- Many people have a relatively short commute, so limited range EVs like Nissan Leaf or e-Golf do just fine.

- A lot of our roads, especially in cities, have road toll. EVs have for many years been exempt. Recently this changed, but EVs still only pays 50% of regular cars.

This is a feature, not a bug!

Employers do not like the unemployed. This is a simple way of making it hard for the unemployed to apply. Whether it's good for society isn't their concern.

(Personally, I think we should be working towards hiding employment status from prospective employers. One thing I would like to see is dates should not be allowed on resumes. You list how long you worked there, not when. They can have the real data for a background check after making an offer of employment.)
What Hindi Keeps Hidden
There's the "Wally vs. Star Trek" theory of Artificial Intelligence (I know it sounds goofy, but it makes a difference when looking towards the direction of AI). If you look at the direction AI will take, science fiction is really all we have to go on and we have three platforms:

Terminator - To be avoided at all costs (everyone agrees)

Wally - AI does its best to "take care" of us, turning us into infantile, unthinking, pleasure seeking dweebs. The ultimate basal brain utopia. But empty.

Star Trek (TNG) - AI as an assistant to help us fulfill our higher purpose and make us better at being a higher order being. There is no doubt that the ship's computer has advanced AI if you look at the questions posed to it by the engineers and the crew, but it does not impose its "will" upon them. It is an observer until directly asked, even when death is at hand (seemingly).

There is a very good video on YouTube about it, but I can't find it (right now) that explains it in a very accessible way (that's pretty entertaining) with no real knowledge of the underlying functionality necessary. I suggest you watch it. It's great!

EDIT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48mf2QUtUmg&t=949s
You are correct about dual apps and widgets, but iOS had customizable keyboards for a while, and iOS 13 adds a built-in swipe keyboard.
