This is true. But did you actually read what the study said? They point out that there is a small number of referees who consistently have their own work cited at a much higher rate than the majority of the referees.

If referees and authors are semi-randomly matched, there's no reason a small number of referees should consistently get to review papers that have incorrectly omitted references to their own papers.

I think we might be able to design something that would be able to absorb most of the energy as well as possibly decelerate the probe impact like an explosive charge that won’t work that well as an impulse engine in vacuum but would work against an object.

Some of these objects are also not very dense so some ablative enclosure might also work.

I think there is more truth to their argument than people are giving them credit for. It seems like an in bad faith perspective to not give their claim some credence. It makes YOUR argument stronger to first make the best version of Ubers argument before rebutting it.

Does it make me a Microsoft employee if I use Outlook to conduct business? Does it make me an Ebay employee if I sell things through ebay? Until Uber eliminates the ability for drivers to drive Uber and Lyft simultaneously, and bounce between the services at will, I DO view it as drivers paying for 1) a dispatch and messaging service 2) payment processing 3) insurance 4) a resume host 5) a customer funnel. Thats more than just a technology or software company, Uber sells transportation services to drivers. The fact alone that they can have two messaging/dispatch apps open at once, on two phones, makes me question, which company do you think the driver works for? Both simultaneously? Just the one that the passenger is from? Is having both Uber and Lyft open looking for passengers any different than listing something I have for sale on Etsy, Ebay and Amazon, and pulling the listing once it sells out?
I know. It’s like these people forgot about how “regular culture” routinely shits on the rest of the world for profit.

A recent “Full stack engineering” interview duo presented me with a prompt related to a bounded version of the Collatz conjecture.
Okay, let's try a concrete example: Gmail. Let us agree that the point of Gmail is to read people's email so it can send targeted adds. That automating the process (since human employees don't directly read that email) makes the thing more efficient, and thus worse, as well as easier to misuse.

Let us agree that I can indeed avoid having a Gmail account. Can I realistically avoid sending email to a Gmail user?

Nope.

There are just too many users. Maybe I can avoid sending mail to <anything>@gmail.com (though not responding to one will invariably be perceived as incredibly rude), but I cannot avoid having Gmail users send email to me. I cannot realistically notice ahead of time that john.doe@example.com is actually using a Gmail server under the hood, and not send the email. I cannot prevent Gmail users from talking about me.

I can reduce my exposure, but there are limits to what I can reasonably do. Your usage of Gmail is hurting my privacy. Okay, not yours, but definitely half of my friend's. I can't realistically ask them to either stop using Gmail, or stop interacting with me, now can I?

Let us agree that individual choices and individual actions don't work.
But if it gets more than 430, it will have 430 at some point.
And? Seems unlikely that we would send a small number of people on a 30 year trip. Given 30 years in a tin can with little to do, I'd expect the age range on departure to be ~18+ (with some people knowingly making a one way trip), and the age range on arrival back at Earth to be 0+, due to new additions to the crew mid-flight.

I know that saying "now you're just arguing semantics" is a smug way to get out of having to participate in an actual discussion, but it's silly to do that here. You brought up the claim of blame, and now you're backpedaling when it's revealed that you used the word incorrectly. It's not arguing semantics when your entire point rests on the meaning of the word.

If you aren't willing to abide by the actual meaning of words when you attempt to use them, you're the bad faith actor, and a discussion is going to get us nowhere.
The point is that the uptick began then.

A recession just means that the prior few quarters of GDP growth did not exceed the quarters before it

It is remarkable that the domestic product increases so reliably between quarters at all

It is correlated and conflated with asset prices and needs to hire anyone but it stops there. Nuanced talking points have no room for discussing when a recession ended or not.

What you are referring to is an entirely different discussion, no matter how relatable it is to people.

It’s not more intellectually challenging but it’s a hell of a lot more work. You need to get accepted into a top-5 law school, study like crazy for three years and rack up a couple hundred grand in debt, then you need to grind out 70+ hour weeks as an associate. I have friends who work at top 5 law firms, and friends at fb and google, and the lawyers are working WAY harder. For less money too. But I guess the one upside is that if you make partner, your peak earning potential is higher.

Tech jobs are probably the best combination of pay/lifestyle balance at the moment.

Like every other BS "It costs this much" story, it depends on what specific location you're looking at and how much you want to not deal with crime. In Philadelphia you'll find three homes selling for $450k, $800k, and $1.2m on the same gentrified block in Northern Liberties, and people will walk past you on the sidewalk saying "I grew up here, but I can't afford to live here anymore", and then there's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia_Badlands and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Philadelphia
I'm guessing they won't release them until they have a new iPhone to try to sell.

> Saying that these grads don't deserve that much money

Of course they deserve it - the money belongs to their employer and they decided to part with it in exchange for the services of those grads.

Whatever it is that you're trying to say hinges entirely on what you think the concept of "to deserve something" means. And you really haven't elaborated much on that (if at all, as far as I can see).
If you can get there from 111 light-years away, you can probably also solve the higher surface gravity. While the former problem is theoretically solvable in a straightforward way, both are impractical with our current understanding of physics and material science.
One consequence of this study is that the growth rate of the universe provides information about what happens to stars at the end of their lives. Astronomers typically assume that large stars form black holes when they die, but this is not the only possible outcome. In 1966, Erast Gliner, a young physicist at the Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute in Leningrad, proposed an alternative hypothesis that very large stars should collapse into what could now be called Generic Objects of Dark Energy (GEODEs). These appear to be black holes when viewed from the outside but, unlike black holes, they contain Dark Energy instead of a singularity.
This article is interesting and informative, but feels oddly synthetic. It follows the classic Quora spill-the-beans-and-predict-the-future format but has some interesting quirks.

The "How does UWB Work?" section has paragraphs lifted straight from the patent applications. Some sentences make no sense, ex: "the U1 chip along with the results of FaceID/TouchID system is stored in the Secure Enclave"; the typo at the end calling it 'A1 chip' before going into 'holographic crystal memory', plus the final sentence: "We will once again leave the Mainframe computer and become cloudless".

I like the insight here about the two types of job and looking back at my jobs I think this is spot on.

There is another reason to change jobs which is for lifestyle reasons. Moving country, changing to a work from home/digital nomad would come under that. In the lifestyle case you are probably trading other factors for the lifestyle factor, so that would also more likely lead to the buzzword compliant route.
That is of the atmospheric density is higher, we don’t know the composition and temperature don’t forget that at higher pressures the boiling point of water is higher so it might not actually have water vapor in the atmosphere.

The atmosphere can also be much more shallow than earth.

Also I was more referring to winged flight than balloons balloons might be a problem of their own if the pressure at ground level is too high for them to inflate normally.

Between earth and Venus there are a lot of options so if the atmosphere is similar to earths sans the water vapor I’m not entirely sure flight would be actually easier I can probably do some napkin maths over the weekend for this.
In real markets, "free movement of goods and people" just doesn't happen. Workers arguably have more constraints on movement than employers and goods do.

I think one of the most important aspects of human vision that everyone seems to overlook is that it's active. We aren't just sitting in a dark room looking through a video feed our whole lives, we actually live in and interact with the world.

Our eyes are active in that they move freely and can focus at different distances. We also happen to have two of them and our brains have a model for how far apart they are. These two features (active focusing and binocular vision) give us incredible depth perception.

Our brains use this depth information to separate objects from the background, something a machine learning algorithm cannot do if you're just feeding it a billion photo labeled training set.
Correct, but you still need to compile the release on a similar system.

For example if your dev machine is Debian it won't work if the deploy machine is Alpine (similarly Windows builds won't work on Linux or Mac).

I wonder if some of the bounds checks could be eliminated by using iterators instead of loops? It is common when coming from C to Rust to sometimes avoid complicated iterators because you imagine it can't be fast, so you use a loop, but usually the iterator really is faster.

And I believe the checked math can be eliminated just by explicitly stating you want to use unchecked math. It doesn't require unsafe to do so.
At this point it is clear that you are not engaging in discussion in good faith.

This is the exact reason I want Uber to lose this. Anything that would keep drivers classified as contractors is harmful to the actual customers, because the drivers being employees mean that they have to actually follow policies set by Uber.
Right, and that's fine (not sure why I'm being downvoted), but why not just say "I make X base salary, Y% target annual bonus, and I got a signing bonus of Z plus RSUs" like everyone in every other industry instead of adding it all up and calling it salary? There's a difference between guaranteed comp and variable comp, just like there's a difference between annual recurring comp and one time comp like a signing bonus.

I'd argue that you're not necessarily paid equivalent to your worth but rather according to your negotiating options.

The problem with a recession is that it tips the negotiating leverage towards the employers because there is an oversupply of workers. I don't want to speak for them, but I'm assuming the OP means getting to the pay level they would be at had the recession not occurred.

In a sense, both wage rates are "deserved" in the context of the economic reality, but there is a certain amount of luck involved, just like for those planning on retiring in 2008.

We show that it is virtually impossible for an individual to day trade for a living, contrary to what course providers claim. We observe all individuals who began to day trade between 2013 and 2015 in the Brazilian equity futures market, the third in terms of volume in the world, and persisted for at least 300 days: 97% of them lost money, only 0.4% earned more than a bank teller (US$54 per day), and the top individual earned only US$310 per day with great risk (a standard deviation of US$2,560). Additionally, we find no evidence of learning by day trading.
> If there is some form of correlation with beer consumption and and car accidents, wouldn't it make sense to adjust your estimated risk based on that information?

Nope. Because it's flawed reasoning. If many people who get into accidents were driving drunk and everyone who drives drunk buys beer it might seem logical to increase rates for everyone who buys beer, but people who drive drunk are only a small percentage of the people who are beer buyers. That kind of reasoning seems more likely to be a weak justification to raise rates for a large number of people than a reasonable response to a trend.
Apple Maps already have a mode which knows where you're pointing your phone (based on built-in compass). As far as I can tell, Google does not, and it figures it out when you move.

> Up until a year or two ago, the drivers would then see where I want to go and then call me on the phone to say they didn't want to go there, telling me to cancel the ride they had accepted. I systematically refused every time so that (usually after a few minutes) they would give up and cancel it themselves. This would usually happen for 2 or 3 drivers in a row, making ride-sharing a miserable experience for me.

I've only had that happen a couple of times for me, but that's because I'm mostly a Lyft user. What was more common on Lyft was drivers calling me to ask "Where are you going?", and when I'd respond with "I already put my destination into the app", they'd hang up and cancel on me.

Edit: About the cancellation penalties. I don't know about Uber, but on Lyft when I as a rider have to cancel on somebody, I sometimes see options pop up saying "driver asked me to cancel" or "driver is not moving". They know when drivers are using trickery to get out of dinging their cancellation rate. And when I have to cancel for "driver is not moving", I also get a message saying they'll waive the cancellation fee because there was an issue with my ride (note: I get this message before I see the list of cancellation reasons to pick from, not after).
It is tuneable and at low bandwidth it can have a range of several hundred metres, maybe 100m indoors. The location element uses time of flight which is less effected by walls than signal strength methods so should be accurate to within a meter even across a large building.

not really going to orbit is about velocity not altitude the gravity at low earth orbit is pretty much the same as at sea level.

The savings you get when launching from say an aircraft at 40,000 feet mainly come from not having to go through max-q at sea level the relative amount of propellant you’ll need to get to orbit is the same you can just use a smaller rocket but it doesn’t help to overcome the rocket equation trap.

> ...getting exactly what the market could afford.

"afford" is an odd word choice. As if to suggest that employers simply don't have any money by which they could have increased worker salaries.

In this same period, average CEO compensation increased 25-50%, depending on how you measure it. So, apparently, there's lots of money, but its distribution is skewing increasingly to the very top.

So let's not say "afford".
>So you are recommending Americans should stop buying/discussing cars and SV new grads should stop accepting/discussing high salaries because it is "wasteful and extravagant".

At no point in my comment, or any other comment, have I said, suggested, or implied that anyone should stop buying/discussing cars or that SV new grads should stop accepting/discussing high salaries. In fact, the entire point (as stated in my previous comment) is that this is a discussion about high salaries, and I am simply discussing the fact that the salaries are high.

Your interpretation of my comments is clearly in bad faith.
