This is accurate, although to be fair to myself, I didn't know I would be on call until after the plans were made. With that said, I take issue with this being an "obvious outcome" and the notion that I was "training" our staff to use my wife's number. I was explicit with the company (at least I thought) about the need to use her number only being applicable for that weekend; the fact that some people tried to use it when I was on call again in the future is on them. Mistakes happen, and everything worked out just fine, but I don't see how that part was my fault.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_currents#Safety_con...

> The City of New York did not require burying and had little in the way of regulation so by the end of 1887 the mishmash of overhead wires for telephone, telegraph, fire and burglar alarm systems in Manhattan were now mixed with haphazardly strung AC lighting system wires carrying up to 6000 volts.

So yes, even electrical fire and burglar alarms existed since 1880s.

As a side-node, although "AC is dangerous" has been used as the corporate propaganda talking point during the Current War, the safety issue of AC (or mains electricity in general) was very real. Sometimes the AC wires would short to telephone, telegraph, fire and burglar alarms, and guess what could go wrong... The solution is proper safety practices and regulations in the next decade, rather than attacking and boycotting the use of AC.

You raise some good points.

I also believe personality types play a large part, for example I'm an introvert, and while spending time with others makes me happy - that can easily be negated if I spend too much time with others or don't have a chance to come up for air (e.g. some alone time).

Not to mention the personality types of others as well. I have introverted friends whom I can quite happily spend weeks at a time with (low energy, deep conversations, no awkwardness with silence), and on the other end of the scale there are friends who are extremely extroverted whom I cannot spend more than several hours with (high energy, shallow and constant changing of topics being discussed, a feeling of awkwardness when there is silence).

Firevel – 100% Serverless Laravel
I actually say I believe specifically when I want to convey I may have doubts, usually followed with "please correct me if I'm wrong" but I have worked hard to foster an environment without blaming my team. If there's a need to correct an action after it's been done we correct the action and define it within the process documentation. We've also worked very hard to solidify expectations so that if decisions need to be made without guidance they are clear on the intent of what their actions should be and respond accordingly. It's not a perfect system but it allows us to respond quicker to customer needs without waiting for management decisions.

..so what? Everyone dies.

The whole reason traffic deaths or war deaths or any other figure that gets worried about is a concern isn't that people die at all. It's that they died earlier than they otherwise would have. They missed out on life they would have otherwise got to live. So talking about what the living get from that increased chance of early death is clearly relevant to the discussion.

I have a lot of respect for the man despite his personality problems. He knew what he wanted at a young age and pursued it with determination and persistence and achieved it. Mathematica and the business he built to support it are both great accomplishments. I'm sometimes surprised he's not more popular on HN than he is.

I agree, being introverted definitely seems to impact the amount of time you want to spend with others, though I am maybe somewhat different in my preferences. I absolutely enjoy spending time with people, but even spending time with other introverted folks can be tiring for me, because sometimes I just want to sit in a quiet room completely alone. (Many of my other, also very introverted friends, disagree and can spend nearly all of their time with like-minded people. Which can be a little awkward.)
Tech Book Face Off: Getting Clojure vs. Learn Functional Programming with Elixir
There are feedback loops at play here. Tesla doesn't have to produce the cheapest cars to have an impact on driving down prices. And that's the conundrum for tesla, the dissonance between the social and capitalistic missions: driving down prices means thinner margins means less profitability.
Most of our rail network, outside the northeast corridor, is already vastly underutilized. Roads get more funding because that's what people use, and that's what's most convenient for 95% of people (who don't live in the downtown core of a major city) to use.

But regardless, you can get an idea from the EU. EU rail subsidies amount to 73 billion euro annually. EU rail carried 465 billion passenger-kilometers in 2017, or 300 billion passenger miles. That's a subsidy of $0.24 euro per passenger mile, even worse than Amtrak.

Roads are just really cheap to build and maintain. A 6-lane interstate highway costs $11 million per mile in urban-ish areas: http://blog.midwestind.com/cost-of-building-road. It's going to cost $1.4 billion to add four lanes to the 35 miles of the BW Parkway (which goes through a dense urban area connecting two major cities). At $40 million per mile, that's 1/6 of what it cost to build the Metro Silver line through less dense areas in an existing freeway median. That's 1/9 the per-mile cost of the purple line, a light rail line that mostly travels at grade without its own right of way.
Talk to an attorney. There are lots of little details that need to be understood. For the investor the shares are an "asset" at least as the court will see them and they will potentially be up for liquidation. But there are a bunch of details around that, for example what chapter of bankruptcy? How long ago the investment was done etc.

You want to have an attorney help you through this, it won't take a lot of money or time but get the advice.
Yeah.

Here’s a toilet puzzle for you: Why don’t toilets in Brazil flush as efficiently as those in the United States and Canada? In Brazil it’s pretty standard to have a waste paper basket beside the toilet for throwing away toilet paper. Hotels and restaurants will have signs asking you to not flush toilet paper. In the USA and Canada nobody worries about flushing toilet paper.

The answer to this question is not obvious. Even luxurious toilets in expensive hotels do not flush as nicely as in Canada/US. It’s not a cultural or environmental thing to not flush toilet paper —- toilets really do get clogged very easily and getting rid of the toilet paper might take multiple flushes. I’ve seen Brazilian toilets that pass a lot of water per flush but still don’t work well.

My current theories are that either Brazil uses narrower diameter drain pipes or that they have a more elongated P-trap than in the US and Canada. Someday I hope to run into a master plumber who’s worked in both Brazil and North America to tell me what the difference is.

EDIT: The Quora link below says that the same problem happens in Mexico because the Y-fitting under the toilet doesn’t have graceful curves compared to US fittings and/or the drain is not sufficiently vented, so the toilet water flows slower. Both of these also sound like plausible theories.

A junior should already be familiar with CS & programming concepts. Where they need help is knowing when and where to apply them. If your company does code reviews this is a good place to teach about best practices. Likewise they should know that if they're stuck for more than N hours (say N=3) they should ask you for help. When they ask for help, don't just feed them the answer. Show them how you find the answer (e.g. running a debugger, looking up documentation, doing a Google search for the error code etc).

* roads (bus & car) are too congested
Yeah, the implementation could use some work. I also use the temporary containers plugin so by default tabs open in new containers. I think this gives better security than either of these defaults. If I need a site to open up in a particular container, I can always set that too.

I've been following Tesla news fairly closely for maybe 18 months. This kind of misinformation-based article happens regularly. The combined forces of big oil and big auto have considerable sway over certain kinds of news organisation. Remember that Tesla spends $0 on advertising with them.

And then you have the billions invested by those who are short the stock.

That's a powerful coalition of forces going all in on discrediting Tesla any way they can.

In fairness, there's too much fanboy stuff in the opposite direction too.

But overall, from my reading, Tesla appears to have some serious structural advantages over all other comers in the expanding EV market.
Toilets, along with a few other plumbing fixtures, have a "UI" that has not changed much for over a century. While the details may be different, I doubt anyone wouldn't know how to use this toilet if they were suddenly transported back in time to the 1920s:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/cbustapeck/3067417509

The bathtub or sink would equally be unlikely to puzzle, and remain very familiar. Yet in the software industry, it seems very common to drastically alter the UI in a timescale of only a few years to even months, confusing basically the entire userbase. As software becomes more ubiquitous and relied upon, one wonders if it will ever attain the same levels of UX stability that many other inventions have gained over the years.

Linus Pauling figured out almost 30 years ago why humans are prone to heart attacks, and not only did he discover why, he also has a mechanism by which to reverse existing heart disease and prevent heart attacks and strokes. The Pharmaceutical industry ridiculed his solution and tried to discredit his work, claiming that he had become crazy in his old age.

Personally I have much more faith in Dr. Pauling than I do in just about any other person that ever lived, except perhaps Fred Rogers. I follow Dr. Pauling's solution and I have for almost 20 years.

More performant? Maybe - at least multithreading, fork/join, ... would be easier.

Smaller binaries? No, probably even larger, since the chromium embedded framework (CEF) is biiig. But it would probably be possible to add other HTML renderers later (i.e. CEF during development b/c of the excellent debugging features, JavaFX WebView later).

It would make most sense when you either need multi-threading or have existing Java libraries/code you want to re-use or have mostly Java developers...

This doesn't need a master plumber to answer the question. This occurs in a lot of the developing world. Older sewerage systems weren't designed to accommodate the stuff we flush down in the west.

Aside from older toilets that don't have the water flow design of contemporary systems that were designed to accept paper + waste, blockages down stream effect the flow of toilets upstream.

"But since I flew into O’Hare on a commercial flight, like a common schmuck, Hertz wouldn’t give me the car, even though they clearly had it to give. Basically, I wasn’t rich enough to rent the car Hertz had allowed me to reserve, so they weren’t going to let me have it. Which, I don’t know. Seems like a real dick move on Hertz’s part, and doesn’t incline me to use them ever again for anything."
