> I guess this is a complicated way of saying the same thing as I did, except that "your parents" are "the law"?

Your parents are your parents. They have skin in the game.

People with heritable diseases would presumably pay more for that kind of pre-insurance. (That's pretty similar to how the church in Cyprus apparently asks couples to get tested for Thalassemia genes before marrying them: if both parents have a single copy of the recessive allele, the children run the risk of sickle cell anemia.)

> Where I live (Austria), everybody (modulo a few exceptions and quirks that shouldn't exist) has state-mandated health insurance. If we go to the doctor, of course the doctor gets paid, but not directly out of our pockets. The system is simple, and it works. I don't understand why you discount this possibility. It's the best model.

I grew up in Germany with a similar model. The various European models look good compared to the American mess we hear so much about. The Singaporean system is superior, even if not perfect.

They didn't have the Praxisgebühr for fun in Germany. (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praxisgeb%C3%BChr)
Electricity, hot water, clean water, refrigeration technology.
It's the 'wet streets cause rain' phenomenon that is ever present in news articles.
Inclusive-or, sure.

To quote myself: if society spends X dollars per year per poor person on direct financial transfers, and Y dollars per year per poor person on in-kind services, I am suggesting to move to a system of giving the poor person (X+Y) dollars in direct financial transfers.
I imagine this is for your personal car. A company car would probably not have this. Though, I would hope that companies that are paying you to specifically drive would skip the 2x DUI people.
> Quebec's Ministry of Transport says from 2013 to 2017, alcohol-related crashes killed an average of 100 people annually. That's on top of the approximately 220 serious injuries and 1,800 minor injuries.

Given these numbers, you can keep cranking the knobs but is that really going to be an effective use of money?

At this point, it looks like the only people left are the really hard cases. And they probably need medical and mental health care more than jail.

Whenever I have contact with DUI stuff in the US, about 1/3 are young, idiotic dipshits who did something egregiously stupid and dangerous and wind up on the straight and narrow after being punished. The other 2/3 are so clearly repeat, hardcore alcoholics that desperately need some form of treatment and are so bad that I wonder how they can even function.
Aldi has very very questionable quality though. I've had multiple DOAs, and multiple of their things die within months.

They're good with warranty returns, but usually can't give you a replacement product due to how they do batch/bulk sales and don't keep recurring stock, so you generally end up with a refund and have to start shopping around again for an equivalent product.
The sections on the Bengal famine gives a stronger indication of why he's so divisive.
Well one of the authors (Jeremy Howard) strongly advocates for learning by writing. I think it's a good mission: there is always value in finding better ways to convey information. If you already know this material then it's easily ignored. Other people may be excited about something you already know, and that's fine. Unfortunately that makes it pop up in your news feed and sorry I have no solution for that =).

Edit: Just noticed the other author is the creator of ANTLR, which I recall using in school to write our own languages. Cool!
I agree with the points by @codingdave. and I have a further observations :

If you are an early startup stage employee, surely you would have an established relationship with the founders. If so, then you should simply bring them up to date with what is "really happening". If you have been sidelined a long-time ago, then you have too look at how and why. Is there anything that you can do to transcend the more recently hired "management".

If in your assessment your solution can make millions, then you have to ask why hasn't it yet? Are you overvaluing your contribution or are the various problems the stumbling blocks?

As for stock options, etc. At the end of the day you have to consider dilution, etc. They often end up being worth a lot less than you might think.

BTW: Yes, I think you are suffering from acute burnout. Might be a very good idea to get professional health support before the stress impacts your physical health.
Yeah I can agree with that. Samsung's apps on the older tvs need updating and in my experience they do not deliver the firmware updates they promise might happen at sale.
IANAL, but if the data is being shared with “3rd parties” and/or “service providers” they definitely would. Sadly, I doubt it will actually be enforced by the California AG anytime soon.
Is this a rebranded Firefox Focus?
And where will they source the helium? Gas wells?

We already waste the stuff and it's an incredibly useful substance.
I think it is not a freeware. They are probably planning to sell it to other distributors.
There was a company working on hydrofoils for cargo ships in one of the recent YC batches. No idea how it’s going, but they at least seem to think it’s possible to put foils on something large.
This article doesn't seem to take into account that Helium is becoming scarce, and when used in airships, it's eventually just released and lost forever. NYT Article on the shortage: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/16/science/helium-shortage-p...

We used to have a strategic Helium reserve in the US for zepplins and so forth, then it was just kept for chemistry and other purposes. I think we started selling it down under GW. Helium seems like it's more valuable as a component in chemistry, super cooling, etc, rather than just using it for lift.

Also, we tend to think of Zepplins as rare things, like singular one-off vessels like the Hindenburg. In actuality, the Germans produced 131 of them! Most were used in World War 1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Zeppelins
Were you not able to return it?
I can say with confidence if you're hiring a developer for £40K they're not okay. I know PHP communities can be insular and can fail to sell themselves, and I know that local economies can vary wildly, but London is not cheap and 51kUSD is less than half what an "okay" dev should be paid. If you're hiring at those rates you are hiring people who are either unhireable bad at their job or (like I was for the first half of my career) completely unaware of what's available.
Wow, even worse:

> Thankfully, I knew that two laws, one passed in 1997 and the other in 2003—which had, incidentally, been loudly opposed by the AOA—gave me the right to demand a copy of my prescription.

They don't even tell you the numbers, unless you insist. On they used to not tell you the numbers at all even after insisting..
I'm have seen people being really excited for AoC. What's so special about it?
I spent 3 years programming in Ruby, and then 3 years in Python.

I could write a huge post about the differences between the two languages and pros and cons, but you could easily find those lists by googling.

My biggest thing that I love about Ruby is how predictable and just... beautiful it is. I love how everything chains in a predictable manner. If you say `2.days.ago`, you literally get a DateTime object back. Oh, and guess what? You can just keep on chaining! Things make sense!

Python is so caught up on being explicit and having rules that it often misses the whole point of being pleasant.

So here's a (silly) attempt to address the priest's argument directly: what if you lose a part of your body long before your death? Is that okay? If yes, returning an organ a couple decades later than planned shouldn't be that big a problem, no?

BTW, in my religion, saying "I am not that smart and don't know how to..." is a sin :p
Sure, but then you have to refuse to spend an other Z on in-kind services when (X+Y) were spent on other things.

And you'll find politicians lack that resolve.
I made a note about Blask's 2005 work below, which is the main work I was thinking about. We can say that constant light is bad for cancer.

But as I'm refreshing my memory, winter can cut both ways. For some, it makes more darkness and more melatonin (which is thought to be protective of cancer). For others, winter results in not seeing enough light, and so melatonin amplitude goes down. And so this is associated with increased cancer.
My Sony Smart TV is crap and I will never buy another Sony TV. Yes it runs android. It's slow to respond to input. Sometimes when I'm guessing it needs to page out code it can take 5-30 seconds before u can actually use it. It's crashed in the middle of watching shows and I mean the TV is being used as a dumb tv with input from an external source and suddenly android reboots. It also covers the home screen with ads for shows/games/movies. If possible my next TV will just be a 60inch monitor
Probably.

Though, it's only a small step for it to report home which WiFi network is the strongest, even if it never connects, for a Google App on the TV to know who I am.

Not that it matters a ton to me. I just don't want another vector for ads, and you can bet that an always on connection will be used to tell me what streaming services the TV can offer me this week if I'd only feed it my WiFi password.
SoftBank's next big crisis may be brewing in India
Just playing devil`s advocate here, in the demo video :

1) Part 1 : You upload the file to the application and say we will run AI in background and a human verifies the file hence it will take time.

2) Part 2 : The code gets generated and you carry on from that point .

The problem is the time on your laptop for second part is 4:41pm and time shown on laptop for first part is 4:54 pm.

So it looks like you had the code before you uploaded the file.

I understand this might be for demo but gives wrong impression to people.
I am thankful for being alive and in good physical and mental health.
I am thankful to myself who keeps on pushing and not giving up when there are challenges in life.
I am thankful to all those people who spread positivity in this world and doing their bit to make this world a better place.
I am thankful to God who blessed me with what all I have.
I am thankful for having such a nice and supportive family. I may be far away from them but they live inside me.

There are countless things to be thankful for and grateful for. It's just we don't realize different things we are blessed with.
Airships don’t make sense for commercial travel. But they make a lot of sense for transporting cargo, specifically to regions that are difficult to serve by road or rail. LM has had a scalable, deployable system for years but no one has pulled the trigger on actually buying it yet.
Typescript counts. Write well typed runtime code, get type safety and runtime safety. See io-ts as an example: https://github.com/gcanti/io-ts
it seems that a workaround for this for a somewhat wealthy or privileged repeat drunk driver would be to form a corporation, buy a vehicle, put some company stickers on the car, get company vehicle insurance. I'm sure you could pay a web developer a few hundred bucks to create a plausible looking company web page, register domain for it, set up email, have a whole set of letterheads for communicating with the relevant government authorities.
That is what the function of the DDR controller is, it does all that stuff for you.
This year I really want to try to use this to learn Rust. Are there any good practices or crates to handle file input like most of the problems give?

As I recall, most of the time the input is delineated by spaces or linebreaks and it helps if you can carve it up easily right off the bat.
Servo team started doing VR stuff maybe a year ago and since then haven't heard anything new about Servo .. I'm hoping that something comes of it
It's 445W/m^2. More than half of these 1kW is infrared.
I'd guess it's for people in the second camp (practical) who are just trying to satisfy their intellectual curiosity or want an intro to the math behind it all.

I agree with your assessment that's it doesn't have much practical use on its own, nor is it an efficient means to any particular end.
As the other have said, an excellent read if you want to understand how the metal works now. These paragraphs below me away:

> if you program the CAS Write Latency to 9, once the ASIC/uP launches the Column Address, it will need to launch the different data bits at different times so that they all arrive at the DRAMs at a CWL of 9.

and:

> there could be changes in Voltage and Temperature during its course of operation. To keep the signal integrity and data access reliable, some of the parameters that were trained during initialization and read/write training have to be re-run.

So now the chips have to dynamically tune the circuity behind each pin to suite the length of each trace it is connected to, and it's temperature.

Keep those fingers well away from the board during operation. In fact I imagine a cockroach strolling across the motherboard looking for a comfortable spot at the right temperature could well wreck havoc.
Companies have to sue for trademark infringement or they will lose the trademark due to the precedent of trademark violations going unchallenged.
Like the render on the Lockheed Martin site the first thing that came to my mind was Africa. This could be a solution for heavy-load cheap transport across huge swaths of land where road or rail infrastructure would be inefficient or too expensive to develop. It could help extend commerce beyond coastal regions both on the continent and worldwide.
This would seem fixable with software update. If not, then a cheap hardware fix. Does anyone know?
Our Samsung smart tv is super slow as well. It seems just smart tvs in general are awful.
End of an era.

Apple now having design under the COO seems like a terrible idea.
No, unless you specialize in a very tight subject that companies are clamoring to develop. Even then it's an iffy way to go unless you have the research that empowers your position.

Your best bet is to continue and figure out where you are failing. Take the time you have to create a portfolio that highlights your skills by taking on a few contract jobs even if you think they pay too little but choose carefully.

It used to be that certificates had little value over experience but these days they give you an edge over those that don't have them so I would start to see what certificates are most sought and get them.

By the way, 8 interview is not that many. You are giving up way too soon.

I trust them to keep their products relatively secure from hackers, not to not use my data.
You're presented with a pretty unique, bite-size programming challenge every day. Everything is themed around Christmas so there's a short story about how you have to help Santa's elves fix their machinery or something like that.

Different people get slightly different problems, so you have to do your own work to solve for your puzzle input. You feed it back into the site to see if it was correct or not. Getting a problem right was a great feeling, and it progressively unlocks more of a Christmas-themed ASCII art picture.

I would have a tough time explaining it to someone who doesn't do any programming, but it's free to try if you're curious!
The article's headline seems misleading: the article is actually about cargo, not traditional travel -- since airships are so slow.

But I don't see what needs this would meet -- either you need something to be shipped between continents quick (~overnight) so you use a plane, or you don't so you use a container ship.

This seems like it has neither the speed advantage of a plane, nor anything close to the size and scale advantage of a container ship.

So aside from the niche use of large deliveries to remote areas inaccessible by ship or rail... I'm not getting it.
'Dark Matter' is physicist code for: gravitating stuff that we cannot see.

'Dark Energy' is physicist code for: anti-gravitating non-stuff that we cannot see.

(i.e. Dark Energy, aka Einstein's Cosmological Constant, is a property of the vacuum.)
NEC sell 4K resolution large displays on their store [1] (not affiliated but someone in a HN topic noted them). Should be said that while they appear to not feature smart TV capabilities (they're intended more for retail/enterprise use) they lack HDR local dimming which is something to consider.

As for not connecting smart TVs to Wi-Fi I read in a recent HN comment [2] that theirs connected without consent automatically to the first available unsecured Wi-Fi it found, sometime later. Seems some TVs are being extra sneaky with this.

In previous threads I've seen Tesla roasted for doing this; apparently most vehicles that use flash loggers like this make it a user replaceable module.

I know it's hard to include replaceable storage due to the vibrations etc. but hopefully the new Teslas will at least start using something like XFMEXPRESS for semi-permanent storage.
I'd also agree with Excel... it works on many levels and allows incremental progression.

Some ideas: Many audiences. Some might want to get exposure to programming, some might have developer as a career option, and some might want neither but would still find a lot very useful.

Excel as a numbers tool: Recording data, simple automation (cells with formulas), concepts like normalisation. Extending this as a financial tool, or analysis tool.

Applications, that might fit those going to college or those going into the workplace: Routine tasks that need data recorded or analysis. Book keeping/double entry accounting. Applications in other subjects (biology, physics, economics, even English e.g. parsing text).

Excel/data as a communication tool: Analysis of data, visualisation (introduce some Tufte perhaps), objectivity, include in other applications.

Excel/VBA as a stepping-stone to programming. A nice feature of Excel is that it excels in allowing the same problem to be solved in multiple ways. So perhaps a stream of the class for programming concepts (VBA, later Python/R?) while another stream takes applied assignments (individual/group) using Excel's in-built functions?

Version control, however primitive.

Ethics, information security, data protection laws, tax laws in all the above?

LibreOffice could be used in the above too.
What about cargo torpedoes? I imagine you could fit an airplane load into a very large submarine/torpedo and send it at 200 km/h with a nuclear powered propulsion.
I don't have an answer to that, but economists have largely found the effect of unionization and labor laws on industrial and labor market efficiency to be negative, and that's a predictable finding according the economic theory.
I agree that your '@' (tetration) is one layer of 'meta' below Knuth arrows.

Tetration delves past exponentiation into hyper-operations, whereas the Knuth arrow generalizes them. It is just a special case that x↑↑2=x@2.
I would love to be in your position -- must be exciting.

I think its important to communicate a high level overview of subtopics in computer science, where they came from and where they are going.

Give them a lot to think about and get them excited and they will learn on their own.

Allow them to research some area and get back to you and grade on the amount of effort in their self study.

Important topics:

- cryptography

ciphers in ancient warfare -> blockchain

- programming

binary -> python -> functional/query/declarative programming

Teach advanced google search syntax, SQL maybe and a scripting language such as javascript or python and regex for advanced students.

Lots of room for filling the course with practical stuff.

- AI

Get the computer to think for us so we don't have to, like getting the student to learn on their own so you dont have to.

I would put something about AI in each section.

- Cryptography
AI's objective is to find models and patterns (i.e. disclose secrets).
Cryptography creates secrets, defines new structure.
- Programming
Ultimately NLP encapsulates formal programming since a language model's objective is to discover a language inside some data. That is where it's headed in the near future.
A year ago, I was frustrated (and surprised) to see one can't do code reviews with Jupyter Notebooks. GitHub diffs for notebooks JSON are super messy.

I set out to build ReviewNB[1], code review tool for Jupyter Notebooks. Turns out a lot of other people had this exact problem. One can see visual diffs & write review comments on notebook cell. Currently only works with GitHub though.

If you want to diff locally (before committing changes), you might like nbdime[2].

I know very little about any of this, but our ability to forecast weather has certainly improved in the intervening century; might that be helpful for avoiding storms?
I would not consider that to be “the most basic element of computer literacy”.
It's unconscionable to subordinate US companies and Australian citizens to a feckless foreign power.

If Singapore why not every other nation on earth?
I wouldn't say that helium is becoming scarce in the sense that we can't get any more, though. I may be wrong, but my understanding is that it's just expensive to store, so nobody wants to do it if it's not worth the money. If air ships started to "take off", there would surely be more money in producing helium.
80 interviews but I bet she learned a little bit from every interview. The bottom line is to not give up and learn from each interview on how to prep for the next one.

I did a find for 'event sourcing' in this thread and yours is the single hit at the time of my comment. I came here to agree, and tell the OP that you indeed would benefit from an Event Sourcing Architecture.

No idea if this idea is any good or not, but I wouldn’t recommend marketing this solution using the words “nuclear” and “torpedo”.
Yup. We have a group of people who regularly camp the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) on the Minnesota side of the boarder. We started doing trips where we would paddle to the Canadian side into Quetico - and found out one of the guys had a DUI when we did the boarder crossing. Had to cancel that part of the of the trip... and add some difficult questions for folks on the subsequent trips.
What is ε? The original problem is about natural numbers (ie nonnegative/unsigned integers).
I'm thankful to Dr.Sarno for his book called Healing back pain which gave me my life back from the crippling back pain.

I was in so much pain 2 years ago that all I could think about was pain but reading his book about TMS and applying his teachings has virtually reduced my pain to almost nothing without any pills, surgery, physio or exercise.

So thank you Dr.Sarno. You have changed the life of many people all over the world with your research.
