Sorry no, ironically Outliers never once mentions "deliberate" ( I checked the index) but refers to the paper by K. Anders Ericsson et al., The role of deliberate practice in the acquisition of expert performance.

The 10k rule got me started programming when I was 17.

I don't have a billion dollar app, but I use programming at work to increase my value tremendously.

I want to challenge this with having a low value skill, like playing sports, doing 10k hours, and seeing if the person could make 50k a year.
Ha that is true and brilliant observation.
I didn't like most of my colleagues in the office and beyond work we had not much to talk about; almost no "office friendships" survived when I moved jobs. OTOH I throw parties at home where I invite people I consider interesting. Remote work is perfect for that, do your 100% at work, then just forget about it and live your life for the rest of the day.
Those are likely custom, two sources that I like are Undraw [0] and ManyPixels [1] both of which offer free options. You can set your own color and select from hundreds of SVG sketches. That said both are quite popular so common sketches from each appear quite often on various websites.

Is that mostly what Tor is used for?
No, it’s doing all the heavy lifting on device, only sending the compressed output to the cloud for spying, err, offering you a better service.
I am not sure why it needs to be called a donation. Just let the in-app purchase unlock some cosmetics in the app like games do. You weren't going to deduct the donation from your taxes anyway.

I am curious how this ends up working out. Google takes a cut of the donations now... but the process of buying is probably easier. So maybe it will increase donation revenue, and make it easier to support free software.

(Taking a step back; it is pretty weird to have apps opening links to web pages that take your credit card number. The app store operators are right to view that with suspicion because I'm sure that for every legitimate open source project, there are a million phishing scams.)
10k hours on anything will likely make you as good as you can be at something.

Whether or not that is enough to become success depends on one's own ego and attachment to realizing if they're focusing on the better thing or not.

That's interesting to know.

I recently saw this dish on a TV show set in 1950s Germany, and I had questions about it. Starting with "wat?" and "But why?" and "was that really a treat?"

Eh, tacking -xit onto things doesn't work nearly as well as -gate, unfortunately.
I've heard it's also important to distinguish _practice_ as separate form of _doing_. Without knowing anything about your golf habits, so not intending to criticize, but to use as an example: 10k hours of _playing_ golf is quite different from 10k hours of _practicing_ golf and the latter would, from what I understand of the distinction, have a more appreciable outcome. As you said though, mastery and success are not necessarily correlated.

An example from my life being: I spent much of my youth "practicing" guitar (guided lessons, learning theory, improving my abilities in different techniques) while my peers simply "played" and the difference in our skill levels (from a purely technical perspective) was noticeable. However, I still never had a successful music career :) whereas I can think of at least one of my peers who "merely played" that's since made a living off their abilities.
I agree with this generally. Though making specific laws can be helpful. For example, drunk driving laws. The only reason drunk driving is illegal is because it causes you to be a reckless driver, which is also already illegal. But the drunk driving laws make explicit the direct link between the alcohol and the recklessness. Maybe there is a similar case to be made for other drugs as well.
My first take on keeping the sidewalk clear was snow, of course, and wondering how you'd get enough battery life to push any useful amount. But seeing the domain name made it obvious they didn't mean snow.
Maybe we could start by not incentivizing-vordering-on-requiring single family homes everywhere in the US. US city density is so much less than nearly every other city on the planet. You don't need more land to build up.
Land would still meet the sea. Just in a different location.
Google finally ships a research project in a real product and people don’t seem to understand the usefulness.

Having a house and a car, or even retirement savings, that can be risked on a startup makes you rich.
Even if that is everything you have, you are still rich.

Find me the startup founder who has less than $100 in savings, no car, no house, no retirement funds, less than $1k in total assets, and whom is the richest persons in their family and network of friends.

Then you may have a point.

Don't those governments just block Tor?
Did not think about it that way, but that does sound like a highly plausible direction a company that ditched their 'don't do evil' mantra would take it. In fact, thinking about it some more, the reasoning behind the tech would make more sense from a business perspective vs a huge want from the user's POV.
Curious here - with everything going on with ocean acidification, would we really rather sequester carbon dioxide in the oceans, where it will contribute to the destruction of corals, or leave it in the atmosphere?

Reading it should be important, or one may fall prey to interpretations of someone else's interpretations.

I never understood much I heard about golf until I tried it and realized what worked about it for me: it's something to do outside while going for a good walk and talk.
"It's okay, normal, even necessary to feel sad and pissed off at the world sometimes. It doesn't automatically mean something is wrong with you."

But this is not what mild depression is like. It is when feeling sad and pissed off at the world is the baseline. It is OK to feel sad, but I kinda wish I felt something else a bit more often.

Do they need a warrant in the U.S. to do this? I think we already have several precedents that show this type of info is abused even when it is designated only for a particular purpose.

It's the same whenever a medical research paper says theres a slight correlation to eating something and cancer rate.

Ah yeah, I see now. That's fair enough.
As someone who has gone to the dark side, there's an interesting tradeoff here. There's basically three scenarios:

(1) all employees are trusted and unmeasured, but you have to tap people on the shoulder every once in a while to confirm that they're on track. Naturally, this is easier if everyone is on-site.

(2) everyone is accountable for producing of tickets, and you can check that everyone is at least doing some work. Check-ins can happen via comments in tickets.

(3) Everyone just does whatever they think they're supposed to be doing, and the manager only finds out something is wrong when the employee volunteers the information or the project isn't delivered on-time.

(1) is the common case, (2) requires time and skills many managers don't have (and creates @#$% Jira commentary form the peanut gallery), (3) requires building an excellent team with years of mutual trust between them, and still goes wrong all the time.

Seeing you at your desk working, and asking a casual question or two at the water cooler is by far the easiest (laziest?) way to make sure things don't go too far sideways.
And someone always finds a way to get a device which can make photos silently. For example by importing it, modding it, using older devices, etc. It is not solving anything. It is simply a stupid law against users.
May be you're right but many people don't need automatic updates. I'm using iPhone and I don't update apps automatically.
The more important problem is that we don’t even know if this attack:
1) ever occurred
2) if it did occur, was it even the US
3) if it was even an attack, was it in fact a cyberattack at all (you would want to protect actual human assets who do physical damage in say industrial control systems as an insider job by saying it was a remote attack using some sort of zero day attack)

Anonymous government sources, especially in cyber security, have a track record of persistent lying

Remember the China chip hacking story by Bloomberg built on anonymous government sources. The alleged fake news was never retracted - even though it was technically not a possible attack if you know how chips are made. (There are chips that had arguably deliberately installed flaws - the Intel chip with the OTP generator that was trivially crackable and the RSA keyfob with the default NSA backdoor).

I think what he was referring to was the need to use "complicated" tools not built into systems to gain root

I do think it is a good thing though. For people like you and me, it's easy to do, but we also understand what root is and the dangers of it. For someone who doesn't, it's better off for them to not be able to root their device in the first place.

Of course, we could bring up the catch 22 that is learning. If I hadn't tried out rooting, the terminal, modifying the filesystem etc back when I was younger and didn't know anything, I probably wouldn't know much about that stuff now.
The issue isn't unions per se, it's that there's overt collusion between the unions and the government officials who are supposed to be controlling costs. The United States has the unique situation where those government officials are often directly affiliated with the union they're supposed to be negotiating with. You can guess what happens when both sides have an incentive for costs to overrun and timetables to be blown.
That’s not really his attack though.

His attack is what causes we’re driven to consent to.

Elsewhere Chomsky has quipped along the lines of “oh no how horrible if we had world peace” via organic filtering among neighbors.

He’s not challenging that such a process exists. But how the organic process is bent toward disposable consumerism, imperialist conquering, not much different than in the old days of Napoleon and Alexander the Great, even though we call ourselves “civilized”.

And we consent via manufactured apathy. Every option the public may want is explicitly bad, m4a, reducing military spending, higher taxes. Every option the elites want is just the right balance, citizens united, lower taxes, binding arbitration, etc etc
Sorry for miscommunication. I completely agree that there should be a "general" pot and that a lot of taxes are spent and used in at least nominally (if not efficiently) good manner (one big exemption IMO is war-related spending).

I'm mainly saying that it would be easier for people to accept new taxes if that was the implmementation (and specifically taxes like wealth tax that are ostensibly "to decrease inequality" and not "because we hate the rich").
I would say, other than a tiny minority of sociopaths, we're all good human beings to people we perceive as also being humans.

There are plenty of people who are perfectly nice and decent who would think nothing of ripping off a giant corporation for a few bucks because it's a giant corporation and they'll never notice.

So you say you set the voltage and current requirements once in the software, but looking at the data sheet it can be reprogrammed?

Do you mean you set it and it works between power cycles?

Otherwise you have to be careful and set the values you need first time I guess.

re: poisons, it isn't a bad analogy because you're referencing the dose-response curve.

many of our medicines are "poisons" in the sense that if you take them in a large enough dose, they will kill you. but a small dose can be therapeutic, in the right context.

likewise, a dose of reality-groundedness is a necessity to navigate life correctly. some people can tolerate the side effects of higher doses better than others, however.

Read The Once and Future World https://www.amazon.com/Once-Future-World-Nature-Could/dp/030... to learn how much more whales there used to be and their effect on making the environment more stable and able to sustain life.

I could totally see someone thinking this was a divided highway and saying "Oh shit I'm on the wrong side of the road." Especially since in the UK a double-yellow line marks a curb (specifically what in the US would be called a "no standing zone") rather than dividing the centre of the road.

So there is a plausible (if stupid) reason why they might have crossed, but things are still suspicious.
It was partly a joke, it's somewhat of a touchy subject for those that love New Haven style pizza. People that don't care for that style often called it burned, and fans of new haven style pizza are quick to "correct" them.

Good lord... this is a really cool piece of technology and half the comments here are just complaints that it will enable better ad tracking or erode privacy or that touch screens are good enough.

This is HN. This is cool technology. Can we just stop to appreciate what cool new interfaces or game concepts we might be able to build with this, rather than jumping on the knee-jerk Google hate train?
They're different, but American Republicans abandoned the idea of limited government a long time ago. It'll come up as a talking point, but only if it supports what they want anyway, not because they actually want to limit it on principle.

Exactly, usually the big mistakes are made on the macro level. Worrying too much about the micro level is taking away attention where it belongs.

There is certainly worth in awareness of performance issues - the key is to recognize the - for most of us - rare instances where it matters.
Do you have an example of Twitter using its discretion to shut down a participant who (in your opinion) did not violate the site’s rules? (Where they didn’t acknowledge it as a mistake and later re-instate that person? Mistakes are obviously not completely avoidable.)

We are talking about what will get you banned from Twitter, not what will get you called a racist jerk or a terrorist sympathizer or whatever by other participants on the site.
I wonder where they get productivity data.

An owner of a company I'm close with found her employee was abusing work from home. This same employee was formerly a Superstar or so we thought.

Maybe bad management, but I found myself calling a 7 hour work from home day 8 hours too.

Whether mastery or success is the end, the rule emphasises quantity of time over quality of time.

AFAIK 'quality of time' discussions are restricted to mentions of 'deliberate' practice. That's critical, since if someone can (sorry..) 'work smarter, not harder' then it devalues the 10k rule. Not even to mention luck

There are always workarounds, but that is not the point. We must not allow these platforms to discriminate against funding open source development through donations.
Boring tunnels is also hard in the muddy Dutch soil. It was used in Amsterdam for the new Noord-Zuid-lijn, which had tons of complications and went way over deadline and budget by an enormous amount.

Although if there's a part of the country that is suitable for boring, it's probably Maastricht, which is in the tiny part of the country that has actual hills.

He made it pretty clear that it was a real, dropping bombs, boots on the ground, cause for war.

I think it's more that the US applies these rules unequally. You execute a cyber attack on us, we'll overthrow your government and laugh as the rabble beheads you in the streets. If we execute a cyber attack on you, what are you going to do? We have nukes.

The framework he laid out is actually pretty interesting because it made it very clear that espionage is totally on the table, which is as far as the countries that do have nukes are willing to go here.

I've probably also spent almost that many hours on the driving range. Some people just don't have the talent for some things, and as far as golf, I seem to be one of them. But I always hit at least one good shot that has me coming back for more. Like an addiction.

I have a friend who hardly ever plays, but still beats the snot out of me on the course. So in my humble opinion, trying to eliminate natural ability from the equation is misguided.

If I want to go do something else other people find useful, maybe even more useful, I can't, because of lapses in tuition payments, health insurance, etc. Contrast that to either a system where the government takes care of that, and I can work for whoever I want, or a system where tuition and healthcare are affordable enough where I can pay for it myself and again, can work wherever I want.

There are potential good outcomes from such programs, but similar to H1B, something with clear upsides will be used as leverage against the lower-end of people who would benefit AKA the people who need these benefits the most.
Remember, we live in a corporate culture where people who have offices with doors that close praise the “collaboration” of the open office that the rest of us serfs suffer under. You’re dreaming if you think productivity is actually the goal: power is the goal (their power over you). If you manage to produce anything in spite of management’s best efforts to thwart you, that’s entirely accidental.
There is a difference between predicting the odds of good and bad stuff accurately. If you take someone like Warren Buffett, he's known as a cheerful optimist and focuses on stuff like the economy making everyone richer over time but he's in the insurance business and better at figuring the risks of death, illness or a nuke taking out NYC more than most.
