Reluctance to hire and valuing a generalist are two different things.

We value generalists greatly, but they are difficult to hire because you have to approach them on a case by case basis to see the scope of their generalist skills. Sometimes there’s people that are too generalized and others who are so narrow they might as well be specialists. And if your generalist has a unique combination of skills they become a dependency that is difficult to replace or remove later on, but can also become a valuable advantage for the business.

Specialists are more like replaceable parts. We look at standardized skill sets and given them standard tests and hire them if they pass. If performance is subpar dump them and pick up a new specialist with the same skillset. Easy.

The author of the post quotes:

“...right from the start, from the time someone came up with the word ‘autism’, the condition has been judged from the outside, by its appearances, and not from the inside according to how it is experienced.”

(Donna Williams, 1996, p.14).

I skimmed through it and this part seems like the gist:

> Simply put, the theory of the double empathy problem suggests that when people with very different experiences of the world interact with one another, they will struggle to empathise with each other. This is likely to be exacerbated through differences in language use and comprehension. I first started to publish theoretical accounts of this issue in the early 2010s, yet similar ideas can be found in the work of Luke Beardon regarding ‘cross-neurological theory of mind’ and in that of the philosopher Ian Hacking.

I imagine this doesn't need to be just about autism. I imagine this is useful when living abroad, for example.

I actually prefer working at home in the morning and coming in to the office only in the afternoon. As a software developer, it allows me to focus on my software development and finish the tickets in my sprint without being stopped by support requests, wishlist feature requests, and other distractions from co-workers.

When someone has to put a request in writing on Slack or with an email instead of just going to my cubicle and bugging me, it makes it less likely they will bother me with stuff that is not important.

In terms of a daily standup, they work just as well using a video conference call, or, better yet, as a written report posted to Slack every day.

Nope. It was a multi-day meeting where the entire development organization waterfall planned the next 6-12 months of work. This included due dates and all. For their org size, maybe that's how they have to do development, but it was nothing like any agile I've ever done.

The big boss[0] would not like me. I follow up all conversations with an email. It eliminates the he said/he said conversations. I have an email that I can refer to as needed.

[0] Boss seems to be appropriate here as opposed to manager or something. Doesn't sound like they manage well.

Sure-- the answer for most work tasks would be "no".

Let me tell you, though, from experience: when my wife asks "would you like to [go to some event that I clearly wouldn't really like to go to]" --- a blunt "no" is not a good answer to that question, even if it's literally true. ;)
When I switched from DSL to cable internet several years ago, the concern I had was with upload capacity. To get to 10 Mbps upload speed, which I wanted in order to be able to do high-definition video conferencing along with other simultaneous internet usage, I had to order the 250 Mbps download speed. I recognize that I seldom use 250 Mbps download, but I can fill up 10 Mbps upload pretty easily.

> You didn't know where many of the features of the Java runtime come from or where they originated from.

You are making a mistake of talking about tools when we are discussing programming languages. I have seen most people make that mistake with .NET platform. Java programming language isn't Java platform. In fact, as a Lisper, you should know better to dissociate the tools from the platform because Lisp is so fragmentated.

> Historically there is no independent invention of the Java language.

J++ was a Microsoft independent implementation of Java programming language. Also Java used by Android is an independent implementation of Java programming language. It doesn't contain tools which are shown on the Java platform architecture diagram I pasted on my previous comment.

GC isn't part of Lisp. Never was. Never will. It was invented as a tool to be used with Lisp. In fact, some Lisp dialects don't even have garbage collection.

Aside from the fact that it's been called the Holland Tunnel for nearly a century (no one ever refers to it as the "Hudson Tunnel") -- the author provides this rather provocative assertion:

In other words, a good chunk of New York’s transportation infrastructure [including the Holland Tunnel mentioned in the previous paragraph] could collapse, at any point.

With no substantive support. (It may be behind on maintenance; and like various subway tunnels, and it may not fare too well during the next major storm, requiring lengthy, expensive repairs. But that's a far cry from "could collapse at any point").
What if WeWork is a bet on a future where no recession is going to happen? If the zero-interest money policy continues, then the amount of money increases and prices will slightly go up. No competitor can get the low rents that WeWork has secured.
There just isn't enough to go around, sorry dude. There's legions of people who are utterly locked out of the job market, and there's no hope for them, at least you have some money coming in. Most people around here just flip burgers while they drug and drink themselves to death, or take a more direct route.
That's my point: of course they do (well, used to). A key demographic is 18–35. Ads portraying "happy, playful 20-something models" seems legit for that demographic, including using social media as a channel, where that demographic tends to be.

That young models, a sleek device, and social media is also attractive to the 13–17 demographic that Juul is being accused of illegally marketing to is impactful, but not damning in of itself.

So that goes back to my question: is there a way to market to 18–35 and actively not market to 13–18? Let's be clear: "teens" 18–19 and people in their early 20s are adults.

Otherwise, the proposed solution is not to market <35 at all... which seems to be exactly what Juul is doing.[1] So then the argument is that they used to, and that's good enough to cry foul.

All this comes back to "targeting". In my mind, it's very hard to draw a distinction between targeting 18–35 that happens to be attractive to 13–18 (because of course it does), and targeting 13–18. Then, you can argue whether incidental attraction is a "feature or a bug", and whether or not it was part of an insidious strategy all along.

[1] "[In 2018], Juul’s ads began to look more adult and conservative... with the slogan 'Make the switch,' the ads now feature testimonials from [people over 35]."
Thanks for this. That sounds pretty nice too. Different. I was thinking about it last night and there are aspects of my youth I very much miss. being able to wander in woods with no-one around. playing hide and go seek with a handful of friends over more than a square mile of hilly-wooded area. Discovering crayfish in creeks or finding an awesome uncharted sledding hill in the winter.
that said, my extended family was in a very large city and we visited frequently. One thing I think I resented about my town (though I don't think I knew it specifically) was the lack of some of some of the culture you describe. Plus there are just few people in small cities-the of everyday life cast of characters is very small, repetitious and limiting. That can be odd. Not sure how to explain that better.
Boeing is an American company and the FAA declared the Boeing Max safe to fly in US airspace, and didn't require the re-certification it should have had after major structural changes to the 737 design. What many people learned after the crashes is that the FAA is essentially letting Boeing certify their own airplanes, in an effort to be pro-business and soft on regulation. We are only lucky a crash didn't happen in US airspace, those crashes do count against the American safety record.

> Just looking at the operational history of Indonesian airlines — it’s clear that their regulatory body has a serious problem

"Problems" there, or not, it seems like a bad idea to try and blame the Indonesian airlines for a known design flaw in a Boeing airplane that the Boeing company tried to hide and cover with yet another known design flaw, the sum of which are known to have been the cause of both crashes. Boeing tried this tactic of blaming others, and it hasn't worked out well for them.

Edit: I was having deja-vu and realized I've answered this very same question of you before. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19837481 What is your reason for continuing to deny the role of the FAA in the 737 Max issue, and continuing to suggest that the crashes are the fault of the foreign operators that Boeing hid information from?
Personally I find that getting myself (at least close to) office-presentable even when I'm working from home and nobody's going to see me is helpful to maintaining the "now I'm working" frame of mind -- avoiding distraction, that is. But that may be just me.
Yubico’s OTP protocol requires that. But Yubikeys also support storing TOTP and HOTP secrets, which do not add any 3rd party to the process.

Also, to say that using Yubico OTP is “the second worst method” is potentially true, but in a relatively uninteresting way: adding Yubico-OTP-based MFA is so much better than just using a static password that the gap between 1st and 2nd place is huge. The comparative benefit between Yubico OTP and TOTP is tiny by comparison.

It’s also worth noting that Yubico has released the spec for validating their OTPs, so it’s possible to do so without a 3rd party: https://www.yubico.com/products/services-software/open-sourc...
Yep but it is:

Water+(Renewable)Electricity+Nutrients&Vitamins+CO2

that creates these proteins/food.

So it is not actually "out of thin air", and until we don't know how much Nutrients & Vitamins are used (and of course how much electricity and water) we have no way to know how "efficient" the process is.

I mean, for all we know, it could be needed (intentionally exaggerated) 1 M3 of water, 10 KWh, 15 Kg of Nutrients and Vitamins besides 1 Kg of CO2 to get 1 Kg of food.

The one problem I have with Medium is the same as with YouTube. I have an account with both.

Whenever I click an article or watch a video, that must trigger such a strong certainty signal in their system that I then receive a lot (TOO MANY) related articles/videos as suggestions.

YouTube recently fixed that, but Medium has not. So I just don't click anymore. And I read a lot less on there.
Maybe, but the point is that banning e-cigarettes won't result in all the e-cigarette users going back to normal cigarettes. E-cigarettes have grown the market, not simply captured a subset of existing smokers.

I'd also point out that the problem isn't "acting out". It's the act of smoking cigarettes itself, which is objectively harmful. Marijuana is much safer. E-cigarettes seem to be as well, but the jury is still out.

The title understates the issue (and has typos, but whatever). It's not just that Airbnb didn't do anything for the guests they knew where doomed by their booking with a scummy operator[1].

It's that it was so easy for the scummy operator to just move over to another account, and that obviously fake -- even duplicate! -- reviews persisted while real ones didn't.

I think it is hard to know before the appearance of people who might count, but the loss of the forest means that the deer are browsing suburban areas more and the ticks are becoming more prevalent. Clearly there are no longer any wolves or cougars in the Northeast and that affects predation.

I'm not sure the counterfactual is really relevant. I'm just saying Lyme is the poster child for this kind of problem. My preference would be for more risk from wolves and more diverse ecology, with less suburbia and more forest. If your preference is for whatever causes the least number of deaths then you're going to have to also integrate driving, pollution, carcinogens, etc., into your model.

A bit more of the story can be heard in their talks, and I found a interview written down at https://divelog.blue/linus_torvalds.html

If I recall right from one of the talks, subsurface has received/bought a lot of computers in order to make them work properly with subsurface so the relation between the different hardware, subsurface and libdivecomputer is as far as I understand it quite intermingled.

From the interview I get a mixed feeling where most effort was spent. A lot of the article focus on GUI and getting cross-platform working, but in the end linus remarks that "The biggest problem spot is probably hardware and particularly Bluetooth". For me this reflect my own views of subsurface and getting bluetooth to work with my own dive computer took a while.
What exactly is an urban farm?

Does it have to be on buildings? This is an area near my hometown, it has good public transport (the next Metro stop is a bit of a walk but you could take the light rail) https://www.google.de/maps/@49.4845803,11.0337896,15z/data=!...

These are all greenhouses and vegetable gardens.

Is this an urban farm? Is there any advantage to growing vegetables on a roof instead of next door?
A redundant power grid would be very expensive to implement and maintain. In the vast majority of cases it is less expensive to simply deal with the few power failure events that the typical household gets in a year.
Having millions of people regularly commuting into major cities is a disaster.

You create all this traffic, congestion on trains, sometimes people packed liked sardines for what? To sit in an office and work less than you would in the peace and quiet at home.

Much better if governments encouraged people to work from home, maybe have local hubs where people can go to if they can't work at home.

Cut down on the traffic and let people enjoy more of their lives.

When I don't WFH, I commute 4 hours a day, in and out of london - i'd rather spend that with my kids.

> Games are generally the only apps users are willing to pay for, and the games market is not only Apple and Google but also Nintendo and Sony and Microsoft (XBox). All five of those markets are closed to 3rd party stores.

It should be obvious why console games are a different market from mobile games, but it's no different within console games. I always find it strange that people consistently point to that as something different even though the whole point is that it's basically the same, and they shouldn't get away with it either.

The best argument that there's a difference is that a lot of customers have both a PlayStation and Xbox so neither of them has a monopoly on those customers, especially if you count PC gaming as the same market (which is a lot more plausible than lumping mobile gaming in there). But then that's a relevant distinction from mobile apps, because the percentage of people who carry both an iPhone and an Android phone rounds to zero.

> Netflix and Hulu and Disney+ and HBO Go and all the video apps are also closed to 3rd parties.

That's the same thing again. Most people have more than one video service (e.g. both Netflix and HBO), so neither of them has a lock on those customers. And substantially everyone also uses YouTube or another free video distribution service (cf. no F-Droid/homebrew on iOS).

I'd tend to agree - we're not even remotely cautious about claims about the pace of climate change. For example, a few months ago there was a (now largely retracted) scientific paper claiming the oceans had been soaking up much more heat than previously thought due to global warming, something like 60% more: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18352506

This was clearly suspect. The paper used a weird, indirect method to measure something that we could measure pretty much directly and got results that contradicted the direct measurements. The obvious conclusion was that their measurement method didn't work and it should've required some really strong evidence to overcome that presumption. Yet the entire press ran terrifying headlines and stories treating its conclusions as indisputable facts showing our world was even more doomed than previously though and the HN discussion was dominated by prophecies of doom.

It fell to a climate change skeptic to figure out that they'd substantially underestimated the margin of error in their calculations and that their complicated indirect measurement method simply wasn't accurate enough to conclude that the oceans had absorbed more heat than the previous measurements said. Which is why it's been corrected and the better news outlets have published corrections abandoning the original claims of doom which, naturally, most of the people who saw the original terrifying stories would never see.

It's not odd if you interpret the social issues in autism spectrum as partially a difficulty in learning unspoken social rituals taught from a young age. In this case, a human that is well-socialized having difficulty expressing empathy for a human with social difficulties makes total sense- the well-socialized human has not been taught how to be empathetic to another human that does not follow social rituals.

It is my understanding that part of autism advocacy is to establish new social rituals among the neurotypical populace that allows the neurotypical human to learn empathy and acceptance for autistic behavior in the way a neurotypical human generally learns- social cues and hierarchy and peer enforcement.
That's easy for someone who isn't grappling with this "non-existent" illness as most mainstream doctors would have you believe.

I spent 3 years (and thousands of dollars) trying to find out what was wrong with me until a neurologist tested me for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. It came back positive, he gave me 2 rounds of doxycycline and sent me on my way. Anyone with experience with prolonged tick-borne illnesses can tell you, that's not going to fix it. I went and got an appointment with a lyme-literate doctor (there's the typical 2-3 month wait for an appointment to see any of these doctors - if you're lucky.)

Porting is not disabled, though presumably it would be harder for an attacker to figure out your number if you only use it for 2FA purposes.

The main issue with Twilio numbers is that they can't receive from short codes. If the service you're using sends 2FA codes from a short code, they'll just disappear into the ether.

Of course, if you're just using this as a placeholder because the site requires SMS backup, then maybe it's ok that you can't receive on them.
No clue. I thought for sure Mercurial would come out ahead, it had some proponents:

* Bitbucket provided unlimited free private repositories and they were exclusively Mercurial. Github had limits for private repos.

* Google evaluated both and preferred Mercurial for code.google.com http://www.saturngod.net/articles/dvcsanalysis-support-analy....

* Fogcreek (creators of Trello and Stackoverflow) picked Mercurial to power Kiln

Early on, both tools had different advantages but they evolved toward each other making the choice more about flavor and popularity. My guess is

* git was strongly associated with Linus so it won that crowd handily

* Github had a stronger association with open source than Bitbucket (dunno why though). Maybe it all came down to marketing. <-- there's a startup lesson
