It’s complicated, and has a long history. The Japanese industrial complex has generally been more tightly linked than the West. (Perhaps cultural reasons?). Suppliers and customers frequently had large cross-holdings. The system works when the goals are well known, but can prove tough to change.

After WW2 the US occupational forces were going to dismantle the giant corporate groups (Kerietsu) but decided to keep them in place to strengthen Japan as a counterbalance to North Korea.

Despite this, the links weakened over time. While there are cases like the ones with SoftBank, this isn’t a new phenomenon.

And before we judge the system too harshly, in 30 years Japan went from a post-nuclear dystopia to a first world economy. It’s managed to keep the economy moving despite an aging population and very low birth rates. There are lots of “But X...” though it’s still a fascinating economy.
Whether he is advocating it or not, this is essentially how things have turned out. In the UK, they are examining on DS&A for 16 year olds. Yes, there is a "programming" module but there is no actual content...the questions are: "how do you declare a variable", "what is the difference between for/while", and about different paradigms (these aren't taught in themselves, you just need to know what they are).

Btw, to be totally clear: the reason why this doesn't work is because we have been here before. The majority of the UK's leaders grow up doing whatever they think is valuable, and can totally disregard what other people need/want. The idea of practical knowledge makes no sense. You see this in CS courses that have no programming (again, my city has a very good CS dept...turns out grads who have only written a few hundred lines in their life). And it happens in a ton of other courses.

I get the idea of knowledge for it's own sake is very important for some people. But, again, look at the practice...this is how it is has turned out.
8 interviews isn’t a ton. You did prep and nailed algos - so what was the problem? 40 isn’t too old for sure at most places. It could be lack of relevant “showables” in which case you can go for a mid level position somewhere. Generally if you can pass algos you’ll get offers unless there’s personality red flags. Still - interview more.
Yes. And that’s an entirely new shell game. (Similar though - small float of shares yields a huge valuation which can be borrowed against...)
Single point of anecdata: I found that using the flirc passive cooling case + putting the whole thing on its side dropped my average temp a full 20°C (from about 65° to about 45°) while running a Plex server.
In my experience I only had real problems with projects built on outdated frameworks, like cake 1.3, because the framework was not compatible with php7, and upgrading to latest version of framework meant basically a full rewrite.

A few other old sites, even relatively large ones, that were built from scratch or on homegrown CMS years ago, only took some minor fixes and mostly were up and running in couple of hours, some even worked right away without any issues.

That's not what the OP is asking--they're using external services like Stripe. Creating a Stripe charge isn't something you can roll back.
Just read about accounting so you understand how different assets are valued (i.e. the difference between an asset that is marked-to-market and marked-to-make believe). And then start looking through public companies that hold private assets (i.e. they will report financials to the SEC or wherever).
Even perfect interviewees have a 50% chance of passing any given interview. Interview more.
Yep, and it is the fuse that broke, not the wing!

The reason fuse has an "expiration date" set by the amount of pressure cycles is because aluminium breaks more due to microcracks and other metallurgical fatigues, than due to ductile failure.

A composite lined fuse could've extended the life of an average airplane long beyond its moral obsolescence, and for this reason airplane makers are afraid adopting it.
That doesn't apply in this case. Modeling will never be a perfect representation of reality. IE you're never going to have tested failure at 100.00% of the expected failure load. If it had failed at 90% I would agree that they should take another look at the design, but at 99% it's within expectations. And you still maintain essentially all of the designed safety margin for the unknown unknowns.
Is that really worse than what we already have, where most people are denied the ability to reach as high as they could because of who they were born to? You can appreciate that many parents who are able to want to provide generously to their kids, so imagine a parent feeling the same but not being able to be generous. Passing on money you don't have is pretty hard, but passing on the way people looked down on you for your financial status is unfortunately easy to pass on, as are your wishes that you went to (or even had the money to) go to college, among other things. You know your child deserves so much and could do so much, if only they had the resources to achieve all they could

Except the essence of Knuth's up-arrow notation is the recursive nature. This is going one step, and while I agree that it's a first step, it doesn't actually get the recursive nature. So this is a notation for a single thing, not a general thing. It's good, but i's missing the generalisation step that is what makes Knuth's notation particularly special.

Maybe I know too much about the field, maybe I don't know enough, but I've looked over this many times and it doesn't seem to me to be making "the step."

Maybe I'm just expecting too much, but it feels like the heart of Knuth's notation is missing.

<fx: shrug /> I'll leave it at that. Feel free to disagree, perhaps it's an interesting talking point.
Good point! I take it back, you (and the person I was replying to) are right about the usage of the term.
Net sales is not equivalent to profit. I direct you to page 37 of the 2018 annual report [1] where you see cost of sales being deducted from "net sales". When the cost of sales is 93% of net sales it is not much different from topline revenue as a metric.

For 2018 actual operating income was $3.1bln for AWS and $1.078bln for global retail. (page 66).

Top line metrics are popular in tech circles because so many "unicorns" don't actually make any profit. But it will lead you astray if your goal is to actually make money.

Also, I think the answers you're getting keep telling you to build distributed transactions because

a.) they didn't read your post and are overindexing on "microservices"
b.) this isn't an atomicity problem, it's a workflow problem. When people say atomicity, they're usually referring to operations over data. In your case, it sounds like you need a way to coordinate execution of side-effectful operations (like creating a charge).
Gyroscopes drift. Every system using gyroscopes that needs precision has some external tracking system as another reference (e.g. GPS, star tracking). In this case, that external system is a camera on top of the tower.

From what I heard it was far more complex than just picking some parts from a catalogue. They had to find parts that could all run on open source drivers and I think they even had to convince some vendors to open source the drivers first. It also depends on what level you call from scratch. No one designs anything from scratch with your definition. All phones use 3rd party parts.
I originally wanted to do just that, but my laptop is a MacBook and OpenCL is deprecated there. With CUDA I could just ssh to an old box under my desk.

A thing doesn't exist by consensus just because a consensus against it could destroy it, because a consensus against pretty much anything could destroy it. What makes it exist by consensus is that a rough consensus in favor of it is required to sustain it.

This isn't true of things like property rights which could be sustained even with only minority support provided the minority had a sufficient military advantage.

It is true of DNS because consensus is inherently required to prevent it from fragmenting and ceasing to exist as a single global namespace.

Migrated a few million lines of code spread over a few apps in a couple of days to php 7. Most of the time was spent setting up docker and migrating unit tests. There were literally zero code issues. Those are properly written and engineered apps written on top of proper frameworks as any professional would write them. There is another app that depends on a php 5 library that's still running on php 5 now, three years later. So the upgrade situation is extremely easy and simple if your code isn't total shit. With shit code, the migration is the least of one's worries.

that's an economic solution (and a neat one at that) to a sociopolitical problem. societies use names to address, differentiate, and even affiliate each other.

economics concerns itself with the best allocation of productive resources. names don't really fall into that category (even if there is some marginal utility in the economic domain for edge cases like celebrities' names).

It's interesting how you offer censorship as the only alternative to "doing nothing". People trying to gain extraordinary power over others always that they need special authority to deal with some extraordinary emergency. I refuse to accept the idea that edgy things said on the internet constitute some kind of Reichstag fire justifying giving tech companies or politicians or NGOs the right to decide the truth.

If an idea is bad, you can discredit it using argumentation and evidence. If you can't, your alternative probably isn't as correct as you think. Who are you to decide a priori which ideas are good and which ones are bad? Who gave you that authority?

I know, that was one of the reasons I wanted to use OpenCL. My time for this was limited, and I saw I could get a basic implementation working much faster in CUDA. All the major cloud providers offer (only) NVIDIA cards too, so it was not a hindrance for the end goal of running it on cloud.
I'm kind of amazed that this website (http://www.circleid.com) is not served via https and even the login is posted to a http endpoint. There's even a redirect from https to http.

So, first, airliners aren't really expected to experience more than 1.3G's of loading in normal or even unusual operation.

This is 100% true. But the unexpected happens. China Airlines 006 saw 5G due to pilot error. Everyone survived and the plane (Boeing 747-SP) saw another 25 years of service.

Additionally planes age. What's your failure point after 10-15 years of service?

Another part that's worrisome is the original angle. Originally the failure was reported as a cargo door blowing out. The pictures released show otherwise. So the question remains: who got reporters to go with a cargo door failure and why?

They are going to reinforce and fix the specific failure that happened at 3.7G's, and make an argument based on strain gauges and instrumentation that another, distant failure was not likely before 3.75G's.

That depends on how much you trust Boeing's modeling and assembly skills. IMO the pickle forks on the NG cast at least a little bit of shade on Boeing's reputation.
I approve this ad.
One thing that has got me thinking in the past was another kind of formula,`f(f(x)) = g(x)`, where `g` is given. It bothered me that far from a general algorithm being known, individual cases were stumping (e.g., `f(f(x)) = e^x`). Any insights/references from HN folks about this?

Oh, oh, oh! This is so exciting!

I had built a poor mans version of this where I worked with puppeteer for automated tests. It'd basically record the full dim any time it changed, along with console logs, network request metadata, images and css and output it as a test recording. You could then view that and walk through it in an Electron app.

This'll blow it out of the water. I hope for e2e testing's sake that linux support comes soon.

Yeah I am aware of the oci-template. I was mostly thinking of discussions like this[1] where Stéphane says there are no plans to support anything like that in LXD.

I find the distinction between "system containers" and "application containers" to be a bit arbitrary from a technical perspective. What does it matter what I'm running as PID 1? I find both system containers and application containers to be useful.

It seems like LXD would see larger adoption if it were easy to run docker container images directly (built into the LXD tooling).

DD-WRT would probably let you block domains. Pi-hole might be useful too. To be effective, you need your black or white listing to be device specific, so that you can block your smart TV in whatever way you want to without affecting other devices.

That is not my argument at all.

To spell it out, I'm saying that the US alone lowering emissions will not solve the problem, as the name implies, Global Warming can not be solved locally.

It matters what people post in the comments because the comments very much affect what sort of people HN manages to attract. You seem to be treating these two things as independent, but they are intensely interdependent.

Since the value of HN is its community, we have to regulate the comments carefully. The main tool for doing that is https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Not to do so would cause HN to suffer the default fate of internet communities, which tend eventually to become burnt-out husks of their former selves. The idea here is to stave that off for as long as we can: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu....

That's why we keep asking you to follow the site guidelines. It's not just because your individual comments get better when you do that. It's also because the feedback loops involved (the effects of comment quality on the community) are large and existential for HN.
In my opinion you should not use ANY of the smart features of a "smart" TV. Don't give it your wifi key and don't put it on your LAN.

I have about 400% more trust of Microsoft and Sony than I do of random smart tv manufacturers. I also have a fairly high degree of confidence that the xbox one and PS4 software will remain up to date with security patches, and address critical issues quickly. I have no confidence for TVs.

Microsoft and Sony have teams of lawyers who've drafted the data collection/data sharing/opt-out policies for what their current generation game consoles track and phone home about. I've seen entirely too many reports of "smart" TVs that start reporting your entire viewing habits, and/or displaying unwanted ads.

Use the TV as a dumb display and hook it up to a PS4, Xbox One, and/or home theatre PC.
While I like the moon for those reasons, it has the downside of 14-day-long night and wild surface temperature variation.

While solar + batteries will last an Earth night or a Mars night, for something with a big enough population to be called a “colony” rather than a “base”, you suddenly find you need either a nuclear reactor, or some very big orbital mirrors, or a circumlunar powergrid.

None of these options are impossible, but they might make people prefer Mars.
And if the system works sans-ethics, is that a problem beyond moralistic gatekeeping?

Since the main objection in the article was the military coopting the practice - The basic tenants of mindfulness, as I understand them, are not anybody's property - no matter how compelling the publisher's advances are.

And let's be honest with ourselves - the stationary and toilet paper the military buy have the implicit eventual aim of making them better at making things dead. I'm not convinced mindfulness training for troops is the problem here.

Sure, there are rogue teachers, but that has applied to everything from spurious gurus through to homebrew religions. At trial of sounding callous, caveat emptor surely?

Nothing Mindfulness (as a brand) teaches is a super-secret arcane mystery fercryinoutloud! If nothing else, the government spending time and money on it can only do wonders to validate it and cement it in the public conscious.
