Literally, it's not 10 minutes. Count the time that you have stopped working and people are chatting waiting for the meeting, checking their email when they would not otherwise do so, not working on their main tasks.

20 minutes to half an hour of time not usable for main tasks is a more typical estimate.

This sort of thing exists in Europe too, try walking out of an airport sometime, you can in some countries, but e.g. in Malaga I had to run across a highway because there was literally no way to get out of there otherwise, there simply aren't any footpaths.
Totally unrelated to the matter of hand, but I find it amazing that SE now have forums like "Christianity", "Judaism" etc. where people can upvote and downvote religious questions and answers, and select the "accepted" answer about what Gods opinion is about this and that.

Edit: I didn't mean to imply that the answers are actually Gods opinion! Just found it fascinating that a site specifically designed for technical questions have grown to encompass questions about what Jesus meant with a certain phrase.

37 years * 365 days = 13,500 days

universe has existed for 13.5 billion years

So each day in a middle aged life is 1 million of the universe's years.

* Dinosaur extinction: 3rd of August

* Pangea breaks apart: about Valentines day

* Earth formed: June 2007

Of course this means the Universe would have listened to Flock Of Seagulls as a kid, and loved Knight Rider.
Other than having the new and shiny veneer of technology making political and management buy in easier to obtain (which is valuable) how is this any more effective asking the EMTs and tow truck drivers where the problem areas are?
"end" also works as a subroutine terminator. The gambling simulations in the Monte Carlo section show that you always lose - and are IMO actually valuable for teenagers. Thanks for the suggestion for the trace mode - but it's not that easy to implement.

Invest. Now is not the time to give back, you don't know your future. Live a good life, and once you are in a position to donate and help other people, do so. But for that you have to have your life figured out first. You don't want to get generous now and have nothing in three months after unemployment.

Plan it accordingly and you can have a good life and give back to many, many people.

Cluster effect in action:

1. If refining lithium only required local input, it would've made sense to refine it locally, and ship to China after that.

2. In real life, you need to import plant equipment and chemicals by tonnes from China, that makes the final product of local refinement too expensive for Chinese.

I prefer this particular word sense.

Personally, it would inspire more humility about what a certificate means and my ability to consistently apply the knowledge behind it. It gives pause immediately as I consider things I could apply it to.
Don’t think that’s the specific purpose. Seems more geared to “who did what,” “what is meant by this passage,” etc.

That may seem to be “accepted answer about what God’s opinion is” but I’d imagine the intent is to aggregate what is online for interpretations. To be fair, their format is probably well suited to it. Multiple opinions given with rank based on similarity to what others interpret it to be, but multiple interpretations, should they exist, should be listed there.

> The ISPs create two (or mor) versions of their packages that they can offer/operate in different states - this would be quite expensive (and I suspect in some cases quite difficult too)

I don't think this is really the case. ISP services are already very geographically fragmented since they involves so much local infrastructure. Users also (mostly) stay within state lines. Lots of ISPs already offer different pricing plans and features based on location. And there are tons of them which only operate within a specific region in the first place.

This is very different from auto manufacturing or something like Facebook which operates from a central source and will have a very hard time segmenting users by state.
Yeah, it's just a pity though, because while individual efforts are laudable, they are insignificant unless coordinated as a part of a whole, so without this kind of honest public discourse it's hard to feel how we can get anywhere.

Sorry I love my Dutch extended family but there's absolutely no way I would involve them or any other company outside the US in such a touchy project as this.

Speaking specifically of my family and some colleagues from western Europe, they just don't seem to have an appreciation for how high strung equality and race relations are in America and regularly say shit that makes me wince (and laugh, usually). Having a team from the Netherlands run this, I'm completely unsurprised that this rather tone deaf but profoundly utilitarian and effective approach is where they landed.

An American company may or may not have picked an ethically superior approach but they almost certainly would have picked an optically superior one.
That would not constitute proof. But to humor you and me, what about cornflakes?
Oh, great tip! Thank you!
The Problem with Cryptocurrency Codes
It is not clear what federal laws are broken specifically by using words "Dollar" and "Trust in God".

The point I was making is that Tai-Chi became part of mythology created by CPC that is bonding the society. Slightest challenge is not tolerated. Same with Liberty Dollars - these coupons do not violate any laws, but challenge the state's monopoly on money creation.

Lead developers and managers can't keep track of all the minutae that people have worked on in their careers.

For a concrete example: if I track a performance problem down to a small part of an open-source piece of software, it isn't realistic for managers/lead developers to know if anyone on the team has experience with that piece of the software. But if I mention that in standup, it will immediately be clear if anyone has expertise that is valuable.

I've never seen a high performing team that didn't regularly have ad-hoc brainstorming sessions (i.e. you say what you are planning to do and someone says "have you considered this"). Like I said, there are many runs to run a productive team, but standup can be a good place to start that discussion.

Why should it be expensive?

In State A, which doesn't have NN laws, you throttle Netflix until they pay you to stop doing so. In State B, which has NN laws, you don't.

It's just a matter of router configuration, isn't it? It wouldn't be totally free, but I'd imagine it could pay for itself.
This is because the original asker has moved on with their life and doesn't care anymore. Maybe after a few years the accepted answer should be switched the one with the most upvotes? (Maybe with some margin, say, it must have at least 20% more votes than the next best one)
It's because it really does suck (for the most part). Product placement and lyrics about consuming culture are at an all time high. This is the radio stuff though, there's still lots of great music coming out.
If measuring something like the visual reaction time of people makes sense, then so too does measuring IQ. Nobody is claiming that the Inuits ability to see far away objects in intense glistening brightness of their snowy lands doesn't constitute real intelligence just because it isn't measured on IQ tests.

Well then I guess I will have to worry about the very real loss of genius in shame and silence.
Organized crime and terrorism are basically nonexistent threats except to the people involved in those things.

The war on drugs and the war on terrorism did no net good. Saying we need to give up our freedom so the government can continue doing those things is naive at best.
I think it has more to do with the asymmetry of employment vs housing. Companies can reach any customer through shipping or the internet but workers cannot reach any company because they have to live in housing which has to be close to their job.

If everyone worked remotely then Californians could keep their insane housing policies and people in "fly over country" could get access to jobs. Everyone would get exactly what they want.

So either make it illegal for cities to have significantly more jobs than housing or give employees the right to work remotely. Of course both of these option haven't happened and I don't think they will ever happen.
Nice project!

I wonder how much of it could be adapted to finding duplicate documents, e.g. homeworks, CVs, etc. Presumably, the hashing would have to be adapted slightly. But how much?
Compared to other communities, HN is particularly minimalistic when it comes to associating posts with authors.
Yeah i also noticed this article[1] that goes into more detail (and found interesting that when the article said "Most of the time we lose." i could modify the code to run the entire example 100 times and count the number of times you'd win - that would be ~20% :-P).

Perhaps make the "Why It Is a Bad Idea to Go to the Casino" text at the top of the Monte Carlo methods a link to that article (with some font that stands out a bit - like bold or colored - since my eyes glanced over that part).

there's content creation - which seems to be reducing in length of time. (tiktok is just a vine reboot).

and content curation - which is about maximizing viewer-curator interaction (websites like twitch where an intimate experience can be created between one streamer and an audience numbering in the tens of thousands) through chat-streamer and chat-chat feedback loops and the democratic curation of of content on other platforms being re-broadcast and experienced in that shared environment. the most successful streamers are on for 6 to 12 hours a day, every day, and they essentially play the role of friend-babysitter-curator-community leader. often the 'content' being curated is pseudo-creator content, broadcasting walking through a city, videogames being played or scripted podcast/talent shows, but the niche of shared watching is growing. both re-watching of other short content created on the same platform, and long-form shared watching of sponsored documentaries, viewer donated video clips and even loops of watching others watching others. a type of 'best of the internet today' interactive and in real time.

this tracks the emergence of reality internet, where it becomes impossible to distinguish between an online and offline person, as online time increases. very similar to what andy kaufman was doing, tangentially related to the society of the spectacle and neil postman's critique of modern technology becoming a prison; fatalistic soliloquy on the doomed nature of mankind, trapped in self-reflection about nothing.

the outside becomes another experience on the inside of a screen. the internet is an extremely potent example of an old type of addiction, the 'information drug'. i often find myself listening to things online between 3x and 4x speed, the spread of information has greatly reduced the depth and quality, i might spend 20 minutes researching an the editorial board and journalist of a news piece after a brief 10-20 second glance over the actual piece. heavy users might be the first to see the fraying edges of the future to come. confusion, apathy, opportunistic tyranny to fill the void.

>It's also kind-of not fair to blame only the brand/manufacturer, they are complicit -- yes -- but no the only party to blame.

I blame the manufacturer for two reasons. First, because they're the highest level in the chain that's likely to have any knowledge of this stuff.

Second, because they're the one selling it to consumers, and they have a responsibility to their customers to perform due diligence regarding the software they're including with the device.

If batteries start exploding, the device manufacturer can't just throw up their hands and blame their suppliers. The same is true of software. Yes, that probably means accepting huge binary blobs from the ODM or SoC manufacturer puts the company selling it at risk. They can choose to accept that risk, or they can demand better. They have a whole lot more influence on the process than us consumers do.

(There are precious few options for consumers. I'm holding out hope for the Librem 5 and PinePhone here.)

Deciding to fire someone in such a questionable and unusual manner is never "just doing their job". Someone made a really poor call here, and is trying to excuse it with accusations and events that never seem to have happened.

That combination, and the fact that it resulted in a major scandal for SE, makes it absolutely justifiable to fire the person responsible.

Saying some software is crippled (adjective) is fine as you're using the word as its meant to be used (perhaps someone intentionally removed some critical capability). If you, for some reason, referred to some software as a "cripple" (noun), some people might find that offensive as you're using a deragotory term for someone with a physical disability as a way to express something as being undesirable or bad.

I don't know if you're a native English speaker or not, but one letter in this instance can make a big difference. The context is subtle but very different.
"Isn't big" is a relative thing. In the US, children (at least where I grew up) refer to most adults by their title + last name, like "Mr. Rogers". This holds even up to college, where professors are generally referred to by "Prof." or "Dr." + last name.

By comparison, in the Nordic countries, children often refer to adults by their first name, as well as college students to their professors.

To an Icelandic person, the US is big on honorifics.

But to get back to Barrin92's statement, "addressing someone with their preferred pronoun seems as simple to me as addressing someone with their proper name and title." We see that people do tend follow honorifics, even when there is no legal obligation. We also know some people do complain - loudly - when using the wrong honorifics. And we know there was a whole social movement in the 1970s to use "Ms" for women who didn't think that knowing her marital status was important.

Barrin92's statement doesn't depend on being "big on honorifics" only that honorifics are recognized as being important enough that most people follow the conventions.

An "involuntary imbalance of power" describes Stack Overflow, yes?

It's very convenient for me that you happened to pick "Esq." as an example, since that happens to be a protected term in some US jurisdictions. The Wikipedia link for 'Esquire' points to https://web.archive.org/web/20110530134510/http://www.abajou... :

> But some jurisdictions have reservations about the use of Esq. The Ohio Supreme Court’s Board of Commis­sioners on Grievances and Discipline, for example, prohibited a lawyer who was not licensed to practice law in the state from appending Esq. to his signature on business correspondence because it was deemed to connote licensure in Ohio. Ohio S. Ct. Opinion 91-24 (1991).

That would seem to undermine your argument.

Similarly, titles like "Engineer" and "attorney-at-law" and others are also protected. False use of these titles can be illegal.

Who are you and why does your opinion matter?
Yeah exactly. I’ve had a couple close calls with cars going right through zebra crossings where they had no visibility due to traffic. I’m extremely careful now but it’s still scary. It’s unfortunate that throughput is optimised over safety - otherwise these crossings on busy roads would all have traffic lights.

There were nearly 1400 serious injuries to pedestrians in 2017, 250 of which were children [1]. That means life altering injuries, like losing a limb. If you compound that with the health effects of air pollution, the only conclusion is that cars are disastrous in cities. Worse, most of these cars aren’t local and the majority of locals take public transit. So it’s a minority of people inflicting their personal convenience on everyone else. If you complain about this in public, you are seen as a crazy person.

is behind a paywall, how can I read this article?
I'd actually argue that that that context-heavy communication (carrying discussions across time and multiple comment threads) often makes the conversation worse from the point of view of those transient commenters (which, I'd guess, is a majority of HN? You probably know better than me on that, though). I'd classify myself as a transient commenter here since I don't recognize names even though I've been on HN since 2011. I admit it probably makes the site more enjoyable for those regulars, though, and can sometimes also generate "good" conversation that wouldn't otherwise exist that is beneficial to transient commenters also.

I actually spent a long time lobbying Quora to make content anonymous by default for exactly this reason. It's really frustrating when I come into a comment thread and don't understand some context outside of what's actually being said. This isn't nearly as much of a problem on HN than it is on Quora (or even SE), but if I ask an intentionally-generic question I don't want people looking at who asked it and needlessly scoping their answers to the kind of answers they think I want. I also understand there are some psychological benefits to the opposite though (people wanting to know more about who asked a question to put a face to who they think they're helping), but IMO what little benefit it offers the OP dwarfs potentially unfortunate specificity for anyone else with that question in the future that might put them in a weird mix of "duplicate question" and "oh, but this one little thing is different for me".
Okay, that is a fair point. In the EU, thankfully, we have laws that protect consumers from such incidents, including malware and faulty software, and the party selling the device is the responsible one, no matter what the EULA/TOS/LOL/etc. say.
