If you don't feel called to marriage, that's absolutely fine. It's not for everybody. Priests take vows of celibacy, and that is a high calling, to give one example.

As an aside, I see you have a very deep view into the past and are unmoved by mere thousands of years of culture and tradition. You might find Dr. Theodore Kaczynski's Industrial Society and Its Future interesting and enjoyable.
> Most in this space are nonprofits but we are a business. We take a 20% fee on each subscription. This allows us to hire talented engineers, invest in marketing, and raise capital.

Non-profits can do all of those things, too... Why not do them as a non-profit?
Well that's uncalled for. I regularly lift weights and consider myself fairly healthy. I have an eating disorder if I skip a meal in a scenario where the only option is junk food?

To be fair, I skip the meal until I get a chance to eat something nice, and I'll usually eat an extra big meal to make up for the missed one.

I'm not sure if it's abuse so much as just generally, a hiring manager, i.e. a team lead or senior engineer, can't confidently say "I know how to interview people well."

I say this because I think the skillset required to "choose a good engineer among thousands of applicants" is quite different from "lead a team of engineers to develop a product."

Some are better than others, but point being, if one can't say "based on research, this is a good way to interview," why would you risk changing what seems to work? Why would you risk offloading your "good enough" strategy onto another company that, to you, probably is just guessing as much as you are?
To add to this, I wonder if a properly designed case could create a chimney effect (not unlike the crossdraft kiln Primitive Tech made in his most recent video) where escape heat is drawing in cooler air in such a fashion as to be adequate enough fo the vast majority of applications.

Not that fans need to be very loud, or even spin very fast for something of this size, I imagine relatively low RPMs (probably sub 100 RPM) could still achieve considerable cooling, especially with a crossdraft optimized case.
Holy crap what a clickbait-y title for an advertisement blog post.

Not in terms of heat output surely?
"Yes, they usually wear revealing clothing and may behave provocatively but that's not part of the job description"
I really can't help but think this is not true. Maybe it's not part of the literal job posting but its definetely implied when you hire a hot girl to attract guys to your booth that you want them to do this.
My point is humans are already behaving extremely poorly as drivers and that already causes accidents. There are ways to help that be less of an issue that also helps self-driving become possible. But instead we accept those ridiculous risks when driving ourselves and yet expect to hold self-driving to a much higher standard while also complaining if it's not aggressive enough in traffic. That may very well turn self-driving into AGI but that's a choice not a characteristic of the problem.

You're attacking a strawman. I'm not saying the solution to self-driving is to change the environment completely to make the problem trivial (i.e., walls on sidewalks). I'm saying that some of the poorly defined and even worse enforced rules of driving could be worked on and that would help self-driving as well. How much would be enough to bring it out of being AGI I'm not sure, but it would definitely help.

As always, anchoring the already broken interview system by introducing even more wacky gimmicks to the process. Let's hope this one stands to be a refreshing sign that they are looking for ways to both improve the process and their own stand in the industry when it comes to recruitment, as giants like them seem to lead the way when it comes to this process.

However, until they actually test it out for themselves, both they and the talent pool are not going to have a clear idea on whether such practices work well to improve the hiring process and hence source the right people.

But whatever maybe interviewing and the process of recruitment is bound to have some false positives/negatives which are completely fine given the fact that the pool is humungous and that the candidate may in the future seek to establish themselves by improving upon their lack of skill by filling in their knowledge gaps and the companies should provide adequate support and morale boosts for such employees, those who strive to achieve better knowledge and skillset given enough time and backing.
Looks interesting, what are some use cases for this kind of thing though? Are you using it for anything in particular?
To me (not having read the article) the click bait title sets the tone for the discussion, which makes it acceptable for jokes, despite the underlying seriousness of the topic.
The Facebook Container is very usable for non power users so long as they're already uncomfortable enough with the all-consuming nature of Facebook to not use Login with Facebook type features (which can't work from a container by definition)

I'm not going to get my mother to use containers to keep her banking separate from her knitted craft forums, the same way I'm not going to get her to use a password manager, but I can install the Facebook Container and buy her a book to write passwords in so she uses more than two different ones.
GraphBLAS is also the engine behind RedisGraph. Sparse adjacency matrices are interesting from a graph database perspective in particular because they are typically faster and more compact than the mainstream index-free adjacency systems (e.g. Neo4j).

I sometimes send myself to bed early if I’m in a poor mood and see it descending into a mental breakdown, especially when it’s getting towards the part of the evening where being tired and energised makes things worse. And I will always make sure to get an earlier start out of it.

This is more of a coping mechanism for depression than getting bored though. I kind of understand boredom less and less over the years, most of the times I’m really just feeling lethargic or demotivated and wishing there was _something_ I could do, rather than feeling like there’s nothing to do.

There is _always_ something to do. It’s just a matter of being interested or bothered.
Congrats on the launch! Curious about your thoughts on the carbon impact of carbon offsets vs investing in green bonds that fund energy efficiency projects (e.g. https://copower.me/en/) vs investing in public companies that fund sustainable development (e.g. https://www.hannonarmstrong.com/) vs investing in green energy companies directly (e.g. vivint solar or first solar).

I recognize that the direct dollar-to-CO2 carbon impact might be lower, but green investments might enable higher retail & institutional spend (since it's an investment instead of a donation) and therefore might have more impact on reducing CO2.
Interesting - would be interested in a comparison between GraphBLAS (which I had not heard of until just now) and, for example, graph-tool's (https://graph-tool.skewed.de/) underlying algorithms (Boost Graph Library).

This line confused me, "We are going to see that you do need developers for this, but sysadmins."

I'm guessing it meant to read, "We are going to see that you do not need developers for this, but sysadmins."
"cycling multiple hours a day" Well, I wasn't imagining _that_ level of exercising either. That's already sounds quite extreme to me.

My initial point was the following: just doing more sport is not going to help if you don't even know how much and how badly you eat. You need to reflect on your diet first, and then exercise, even if Coca-Cola wants you to believe that you can drink as much soda as you want without consequences, and that it's your own fault if you get fat afterwards.
It seems you're not familiar with the history of US pipelines. It doesn't matter what theoretical technologies or regulations exist, because oil extraction industries get away with leaking hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil with little or no punishment or recompense, including on the farmlands they steal from people to run their pipelines across.

See the thousands of dots? Each is a spill.

Career Advice for an Engineer (MBA or no MBA)
I'm 28 years old and I'm finishing my bachelor's degree in computer science next month. I have several years of professional experience before and during my studies. My biggest goal is to build tech companies (entrepreneurship). Now imagine you have the chance to go to one of the best business universities in Europe to get your second Bachelor in Business (BBA) in 2 years. The total tuition fee is $5000 (excluding living and opportunity costs).

I've talked to people who have completed this business bachelor's degree and then earned an Insead MBA (Top MBA in Europe). They were of the opinion that they had learnt the same content but much more practice-oriented (case studies). Since I am not interested in investment banking, consulting or a career switch but only in hard skills.

- Would you prefer the BBA or the MBA (100'000$+ Tuition)?
- Or would you take a job as a software engineer and learning business by doing (Sideprojects)?
That is open to abuse in other ways. For example on Youtube there are frequently flagging campaigns from one group by constantly reporting a channel.
> I once again dispute your claim that the "metaphor is illusion" for all the aforementioned reasons...

The metaphor is that the application is a file. If you look at /system/Applications/ that's what you see, right? Is the application a file? No, the file is a part of the hpkg, itself part of a dependency chain of hpkgs that are the application.

> Every OS? No, only Linux does.

Windows has a package manager too believe it or not, but it mostly just applies to Microsoft's own junk, .NET stuff, and C runtimes. I wouldn't be surprised if MacOS had one too, but I also wouldn't be surprised if it didn't since it got Application Bundles right the first time when they inherited it from NeXT.

> Obviously Haiku does not stop programmers from bundling their dependencies, they are still perfectly free to do so.

Nothing stops Linux developers from doing it either, but culture forces mean it doesn't happen enough to rely on.
You are correct, they pick up a lot. But depending on the type of engagement, you just end up taking apart every single thing with a circuit in it anyway.

There are defeats for nonlinear detectors, like a three port circulator with a resistor. In turn there are more advanced detection methods, but now you are getting in to tools not publicly available.

What I'm saying is that you cannot burn off the calories you get from eating five cakes by exercising. Also, if you're obese lots of exercise types aren't recommended, since it puts too much stress on your body, since it is so heavy. If you want to lose weight, eating less is the way to accomplish it.

Personally, I hate exercise, since it's so boring. To be engaged I need things to think about, but exercising gets in the way of deep thought, so I really dislike doing it. I'm more comfortable walking, but then it's difficult to write down my thoughts...
We're already doing that in my neck of the woods with toll express lanes on the insterstates. The moneyed skip the traffic at the expense of widened roads which would help all. These express lanes will logically be the first to allow automation, but at least in that case the affluent will be paying to prove the technology which will eventually benefit everyone.
What about this design?

1. Take a "dumb" open loop controller. f(t).

2. Take a "smart" closed loop controller that reads glucose levels, f(t) and outputs g(t), a correction term.

3. Clamp the correction to a safe range to get h(t)

4. Output f(t) + h(t)

If the closed loop controller crashes, the output is f(t). If the closed loop controller goes haywire, the output will be safe.
I used to do that but I haven’t had a single card failure in more than five years as long as I was using SanDisk cards. But I generally try to copy data off the card daily.
yup, those benefits accrue to everyone, so it makes sense that everyone pays for (part of) public transit, even if they don't directly use it. it's the same for roads, everyone benefits, but the people who use it more should pay more (gas tax, registration fees, etc.).
I'm sure this is a dumb question on account of how obvious it seems to me, but has anybody tried simply putting real heatsinks on this thing? Not putting it in an Al case or something milquetoast like that, but actually putting a proper finned heatsink/radiator directly on the SoC with a bit of thermal grease between them. Like you would do for a real PC, except without the fan.

AFAIK, the peak power draw of these boards is substantially less than 10 watts, so regardless of how high the temperature of one small part of it becomes, we're still talking about a rather small amount of heat energy that needs to be pulled off the board. My gut says that a passive heatsink with a relatively large surface area to facilitate radiation and convection currents should be able to do the trick.
I'd love to see how this applies to store brands and shelf placement in retail stores as well.

I've noticed this comment constantly pop up on Amazon antitrust discussions. It's not the same thing.

Retail stores buy the products they put on their shelves, at wholesale prices. They then mark up the prices to a retail price charged to the end buyer when they resell the products to the end buyer.

For store brands, the store still pays for the goods up front, but they're usually just buying white-label products from suppliers that don't need to make up for marketing expenses, and so the wholesale prices are cheaper.

There is no competitive concerns here because the product maker has already been paid for their goods.

Amazon isn't being investigated for the products it buys from its suppliers. It pays for those and so it can do whatever it wants. It's being investigated for the products it doesn't, i.e., the "Marketplace" of third-party sellers where Amazon is using its internal data gathered from the third-party sellers to compete with them. There is a competitive concern here because Amazon controls the marketplace and is using its market position to compete against these third party sellers.

There is no comparable analog to the physical/retail world because such an arrangement doesn't exist in the retail world.

Contrast to ebay or etsy, which are all third-party sellers. No competitive concerns there, because they aren't trying to compete with their own sellers.
Ask HN: Should I wait to get a new MacBook Pro?
My late 2013 MBP is aging, and I've been considering an upgrade. Rumors initially slated a major redesign of the lineup for 2020, but I've started to hear that it may be pushed back to 2021.

Unlike others here, I'm not particularly offended by the touch bar or the current keyboard design. The keyboard reliability is definitely an issue, but given how readily they're repairing them, a failure would probably end up being an annoyance rather than a catastrophe. That said, there would undoubtedly still be things to look forward to in a major redesign.

Would you personally hold out for the unknown, upcoming redesign, or just go for it now?

I don't follow. If Google helps entities that censor, they censor, or at least are complicit in some way.

Further, there's the whole 'national security' angle. Whether real or imagined, some people don't like the idea of US entities helping foreign entities gain a competitive advantage.

Not sure how pointing to a feigned moral superiority of 'those who stick their noses up' helps your argument either.

The post seems to say a lot about how Byteboard will provide a more insightful, less biased experience for recruiters through a project-based interview process. But I don't see any concrete examples of what that looks like in the post. I looked at the website linked (https://byteboard.dev) and didn't find anything too specific there either.

Does anyone have an example of what a Byteboard interview looks like, maybe a sample project? I feel like there are some details missing here about what makes Byteboard as helpful as the article says it is.
Probably worth noting that Have I Been Pwned is now up for sale: https://www.troyhunt.com/project-svalbard-the-future-of-have...

I've always been a huge fan of the project (and Troy) and understand that it's gotten to a point where he can't keep running it as a spare-time project, but I'm still not very happy about seeing it being shopped around. I can't see how this type of service needing to find a way to become a business will be a good thing overall, especially when it keeps getting integrated into other programs and services like this. Troy pledges that nothing will change, but every company getting acquired does that, and then things change anyway.

The best result would probably be something like Mozilla buying it and/or paying Troy to just keep doing what he's doing.
It's both, really. A part of the social contract is that, unless there are strong extenuating circumstances, everyone is expected to obey the law of the land.

It's kind of like with sports. Both football and basketball are perfectly fine disciplines on their own, but the most fundamental rule of any game is that all players play by the same rulebook. You can't have a game if every player thinks they're playing a different sport.
