Your first example is a contradiction between state law and federal law. Large public companies seemed to stay out of this business for that reason.

Your second example was also not something large public companies were doing consistently and I don't think that has changed with a different administration.

"Uber" is not any sort of statement or reasoning in support of what you are saying.
When I was a kid I knew a lot of other kids in some sort of "advanced math" track. I was going to math camps, attending the international math olympiad, that sort of thing, so I met a lot of others in a similar situation. One kid was enrolled in college at 13, and some others were in a similar situation. Whereas another cohort of kids basically just cruised through or skipped their high school math classes, learned advanced math quasi-independently in parallel, and stayed socially integrated with their classmates.

I don't know so much about electrical engineering, which is the subject in this article. But for mathematics, I don't think it's a great idea to advance to college super early.

One big problem with the plan, which a lot of people don't realize, is that your typical university math degree isn't that much more challenging than doing well in high school math. The people who went, for example, to Ohio State University while they were young, and took their undergrad math classes, generally didn't describe them as very intellectually interesting.

You also just miss the social interactions of having a peer group near your own age. But I think those are more apparent to people. The problem is that you think you're exchanging some social interaction for a great intellectual experience, and then you don't even really get a great intellectual experience.

My recommendation to kids who are great at math and thinking about taking college classes is, don't. If the math classes at your high school are too easy, ask your teachers if you can skip straight to the AP exam. In my experience, teachers who are hesitant to break the rules of the system are more willing to believe the "proof" of an AP exam, and a smart kid can ace an AP exam in a subject they know nothing about with a little bit of cramming.

It's better to wait and go to a top-tier school rather than to start college super early at a medium-tier school.

For math specifically, you can usually just start taking graduate math courses during your freshman year at university. That way, you get the intellectual stimulation of grad school, but the social stimulation of an undergrad program. And if you change your mind and decide you want a career in something other than mathematics, you have plenty of time.
The amount of effort that must have gone into this video is insane. What a unique presentation style - definitely kept me engaged.
> There are obvious difficulties here regarding how we'd handle certain fields (e.g. how do I calculate your shipping if I don't know your exact zip code)

Forget calculating shipping; how do you ship me my product at all without me giving you my address?

(A quick napkin sketch would be that I wouldn't, I'd give you a USPS reference number, which you could use to calculate shipping costs as well as actually mail me a thing; only the USPS would be able to link the reference number to my physical location. There's almost certainly problems with this idea, which is why it's a napkin sketch.)

HN has an absurd view of anything outside of California.
My favorite Amazon scam is the Amazon Ship of Theseus[0]. You sell a product, normally a cheap electronic, and build up a decent corpus of positive reviews. A good example is a USB-C cable or something. Then you decide you want to sell a new product in a more competitive subcategory, like Bluetooth Headphones. You then take the _existing_ listing and change it piece by piece. First the pictures, then the title, then the price, etc. Until you have a listing for your headphones that comes with 5,000 pre-made positive reviews! Sure they're for a totally different product, but that doesn't affect the rankings.

I see this all the time. If I go back in my order history and click on old products often the same "id" now maps to a totally different thing.

For this reason I have basically stopped ordering from Amazon. I find that Walmart has like 99% of the inventory but none of it is fake (some is junk, but it's the junk I asked for). Same prices, same ship speed, no fake shit.

Sometimes the product/context isn't very meaningful. Sometimes the company's end goal is negative. E.g: Facebook. Their employees are probably more motivated if they suppress the fact that the context/goal is to suck as much information as possible from their users to target ads at them.
Yeah, I think you're spot on about a lot of kids not being interested in the subjects that are taught and I agree that it has a big impact on total learning.

On the other hand, I don't really remember being taught many professional skills in school, and in any case, it's still practically unfathomable to me that kids could make it through 13 years of any kind of education at all and not end up literate and numerate.

Ohio, hollowed out by years of de-industrialization and the loss of a middle-class future that depended on those jobs. Ohio, ground zero of the opioid epidemic that is shortening residents life spans. Ohio, a state that needs to attract world class intellect to compete on the world stage.

> We may have diluted the meaning of refactor

And I will quote the summary for Refactoring by Martin Fowler:

> Refactoring is a controlled technique for improving the design of an existing code base. Its essence is applying a series of small behavior-preserving transformations, each of which "too small to be worth doing"...

If words don't mean anything it's really hard to have conversations and it's insanity to try to create strategy around them.

I've never had success doing this in languages like Java or Python, but where it's been very very helpful is in hardware description languages. Since you are often implementing a piece of hardware with known input and output specs, writing tests first can work and show you how much of you design meets the spec as you go forward.

Plus writing HDL without tests is basically guaranteed to create something nonfunctional.

I hate unit testing in for example Java though, individual functions are typically very basic and don't do much. A service? Integration tests? Sign me up, but unit testing to 100% coverage a function with ten lines that reads a bytestream to an object and sets some fields is boring, and fairly difficult to mock.

100% agreed. sauce for the goose == sauce for the gander.

Hence, I find the argument that "there There is no shortage if you pay enough" so entitled and arrogant. The high-tech industry is already paying salaries, that most any other professions would kill for. So what is that "magic number" when your blue-collar guy will hang up his hard-hat and switch to coding?

I am not aware of any untapped geniuses now toiling as coal miners, truck drivers or construction workers waiting for the salaries to hit a magic number for them to unleash their talents.

I don't really think this would count as a solution, but it is an interesting technical challenge.

I own a bunch of small, very powerful lasers (intended for engraving) that would have a high chance of not just dazzling a camera, but permanently damaging it. I wonder how feasible it would be to build a system that can physically locate a moving drone with enough accuracy. Maybe by tracking its RF signals?

Hmm, this might be a fun project, purely for intellectual purposes. I also own a bunch of RC aircraft that I could use as targets...
I see it as putting more of the cost of the meeting onto the caller, rather than spreading it amongst the participants via wasted time and energy (or the dreaded re-convene since no one was ready).
This is interesting. I hadn't heard of this dispute.

I just read the Marcus paper from 1961 that is essential to Smith's thesis. I also read the back-and-forth rebuttals between Smith and Soames. I read the Marcus paper before reading the Smith and Soames papers.

I don't really see how Soames' primary claim is not likely true. He says:

"Marcus, along with certain other philosophers, do deserve credit for anticipating important aspects of contemporary theories of reference. However this credit in no way diminishes the seminal role of Saul Kripke."

When reading the Marcus paper, you really have to start stretching and expanding her arguments if you want to claim that she did more than anticipate 'important aspects of contemporary theories of reference'.

It should also be noted that Timothy Williamson (Oxford) has been one of the staunchest advocates for the proper appreciation of the work that Marcus produced, and yet he doesn't agree with Smith.

But really, this is all probably secondary to the issues surrounding Kripke's importance. Naming and Necessity - like most paradigm shifting works - was not a one-trick pony. Kripke expanded on his possible world semantics, introduced distinctions like metaphysical vs epistemic necessity, laid waste to any residual belief in the merits of logical positivism, came up with the first succesful (at least, most see it as succesful) argument for the existence of synthetic a priori
truths, etc. Moreover, Kripke came up with at least two fairly water tight arguments against the descriptivist theory he was going against. If Marcus was the first person to introduce this new theory of reference, than the theory was stillborn. Kripke (if we take him as having taken the theory from Marcus) actually explained the ins-and-outs of the theory, provided associated puzzles, addressed counterarguments, related it to other issues in analytical philosophy, etc.

Lastly, Naming and Necessity was not the only impressive work of Kripke's. We would have to include his work on modal logic as well as his work on Wittgenstein. There are probably a number of puzzles and counterarguments that were never published that should be included as well. For example, Kripke once attended a conference on personal identity where a philospher had just presented a new argument in his talk that elicited a standing ovation from the rest of the philosophers in the room (this basically never happens at conferences). Kripke was asked to come up and comment on this new argument. He came up and provided a water tight refutation of it. Everyone in the room was taken back by this.

Scrum isn't ritualized micromanagement. Some places call their ritualized micromanagement Scrum. Those same places will have micromanagement no matter what process they use. Micromanagement is a people problem. Scrum is a tool that can be used well or poorly by the people that use it, just like any tool.

You can compress this for one team by starting at 9am and run the meetings back to back until they're over, no time blocks. Standup -> retro -> planning -> grooming, or architecture -> design -> implementation, etc.

I've seen stand-up, retro, and planning completed in 30 minutes. We used the extra hour and 45 minutes for productivity. On cadence days we get half the day back.
These days it seems like a reasonable alternative for a gifted high school stduent to take online math classes. So they can still socialize with their peers but take some advantage of their advanced ability.

I know online classes don't have a great record, but this is probably one of the instances where it makes the most sense. The student is presumably motivated, and if they're not, then it's not a big deal. They're already ahead and can do something else at their regular school.

When I think about people I've managed or observed, along with the way that clients or managers have treated me, I see a fallacy where differing expectations or needs are substituted for motivation. For example, I recently walked away from a project where the client kept restating the priority and the work context, both of which were well understood. The problem was that the project needed a legit budget and team - it wasn't a question of motivation, but reality on the ground. Likewise when I think about people I've managed who on the surface seemed unmotivated, the real problems were more subtle - one guy was clearly depressed but also didn't have the skills for the job. Another was going through a bad divorce and really needed a lot more money for the legal war chest. Still another was tired of so much work travel and really wanted to be in a different career. I'm sure there are people who legitimately lack intrinsic motivation, but more often than not my experience has been is doesn't have anything to do with not understanding the context of the work (though I'm sure that was itself be demoralizing).

Any cheap Brother branded laser printer. Don't worry about buying any extra toner cartridges.

I still have an HL-5250dn bought new with the original "sample-sized" toner cartridge installed.

It's about 13 years old, at this point. I paid something like $75 for it.
The ideas are not knew here, and I am largely sympathetic, but it's really funny to hear what is usually normally presented in David Graeber "you should relate to this and be mad" form here presented presented in dry "studies show..." form.

I would prefer a decentralized social network based on boxes you plug into your router with content shared in a way that fellow users bear the weight of shared content like torrents.

You could rent the box or buy outright with money to develop paid for by a premium on the box or by the rent wherein even a modest rent would outstrip the cost of buying like a cable box.
>but it becomes more vividly alarming if we imagine denying electricity or highway access to an unpopular business. This is why even as Cloudflare decided to shut down Stormfront, they publicly worried that it was a dangerous path to go down.

I can understand their worry, but I think they did the right thing. If I owned a hosting service, I wouldn't provide services to people like that either. I don't want to be known as "the hosting company for neo-Nazis".

If a service is so important that no one should be denied it, no matter how repulsive they are, then I think it's government's job to ensure those people receive that service. No one can really deny highway access to unpopular businesses; highways are owned and operated by the government. Electricity is a little different, because it's usually privately-owned but heavily regulated because it's a local monopoly in many places, so I imagine most regulations would forbid them from supplying power to unpopular customers. Internet hosting service, however, is not government-owned, nor a utility or monopoly in any way. There's countless providers all over the planet. Or you can just set up your own; you don't really have to host your website on a hosting service. People used to run their own webservers all the time. Physical internet access (your neighborhood ISP), however, is much more akin to the electric utility.
>Re 1: Mid-western/"fly-over" state folks have been hit by large amounts of change in the last few decades. The "white working class" (especially male) was overthrown by globalization, immigration, by a renewed push for women's rights, LGBTQ rights and so-on. Wages went down, social rank went down and opportunities dwindled. No training programs, no social programs, no healthcare, nothing.

In other words, white male hegemony in the Post WW2 period especially in the US had ended, and rightly so. The rest of the world was in shambles and the US was the de facto hyperpower.
With rise of China and others, that ship has sailed and this is the new reality and people have to deal with it.

In fairness, mostly in FBA-related forums. I'm a 3P seller so I apologize for that comment as I certainly have a skewed view of what is commonly known.

Wrong. How much would I have to pay you to borrow your passport to set up a seller account? $100? $1000? $10,000? -- You can get this in rural India / China for $20-$100. (And maybe even less than that, I'm not interested in finding out)

> [no use of] unchecked arrays accesses

that requires to include i.e. vector everywhere, which drives up compile times and adds dependencies. Maybe slightly better: some slice type. But it's still a lot of boilerplate, and doesn't play nice with parallel arrays.

> [no use of] implicit enum conversations
> [no use of] nullable pointers

How do you deal with "missing or N/A values"? Because, as every database guy will assert you, these things exist, and they are very common.

How do you deal with the situations where only a subset of the enum values is applicable anyway? Because these situations are extremely common as well, and once again, types can't help here without A LOT of additional boilerplate.

I think the idea is that if you can produce cleaner, physically-correct ocean imagery, then the result of that is more amenable to consumption by machine learning image processing tools.

It's sort of like how having a big image corpus enabled AI. There's no AI in the images themselves, but it gives you something to throw AI at.
I've certainly talked to many US sellers who openly admit to running multiple accounts. Many feel that it's just not responsible to only run a single account if you're doing significant volume, even 100% legitimately.
New Solutions for Quantum Gravity with TensorFlow
I don't think society is becoming more risk averse. We still do a ton of drugs, drink, drive, fly, fight and commit crimes.

As we learn the dangers of things people start the arduous process of protesting them. See bpa, Teflon. Both got phased out after years and years of denials and lawsuits. Bpa and Teflon may have been mostly phased out, but they have been replaced by unknowns, which are reasonably expected to be about as bad as their predecessors.

Rather, I think the stakes for equivalently sized day to day risks are getting bigger because lives are getting more complicated, and bad bets can snowball a lot easier now.

Want to see risk? Take a good long hard look at the speculative and corporatedebt markets. hardly a risk adverse market.
