Amusingly, this video is about entirely different work that also calls into question the basis for claims about dark energy.

Nobody seems to be saying how the two results interact. Taking away dark energy twice could give us negative dark energy, which would be fun. I don't know whether unexpected negative dark energy would be more embarrassing than unexpected zero dark energy.
I work at an industrial plant we use microwave radar based imaging can get quite detailed surface profiles in very poor conditions including inside reactors etc where dust is big issue. I'm not expert in this field I think systems used are continuous wave based.

For vehicle applications specifically probably worth looking into what they use on autonomous vehicles at mine sites imagine that tech probably useful in agriculture. For example Pilbara here in Australia large autonomous fleets in very dusty conditions.
There is a standard cosmological model called LCDM model, Lambda Cold Dark Matter model, which is basically the minimal thing you can use to fit cosmological observations, it contains a cosmological constant and cold dark matter, that is dark matter that is heavy enough that it is cold in the present universe. From the cosmic microwave background and Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO), that is basically the distribution of galaxies, you can measure values for your favorite cosmological model. There are additionally for the dark matter density galactic rotation curves and for the cosmological constant super nova data.

Now dark energy is basically another name for the cosmological constant. (In general relativity the cosmological constant gives you the curvature of empty space, and dark energy is the same term moved to the right hand side.) However, the philosophical difference is, that sufficiently funny particles, like for example the Higgs, can easily mimic the effect of an cosmological constant. So there is an industry of people who calculate the effects of different extensions of the standard model on LCDM cosmology.

Now, above I said that CMB, BAO and SN data all agree in cosmological observations on the value of the cosmological constant. So for it to be wrong, it needs to either evolve, or several different measurements need to conspire to mask the effect of an constant. So my assumption is, either their non standard evolution is compatible with LCDM cosmology, or there is something wrong with the analysis.
I didn’t take away much from the article. I fear theocratic governments and don’t want any of them to have nuclear capabilities. I’m also afraid that any country like the US having unchecked power and a population whose opinions are easily malleable is a danger to other countries. We decide who is a “terrorist” or who isn’t. We decide who to sanction or who can trade and travel freely. Our “allies” mostly fall in line and support any policy we have, although that seems to be fading a bit recently... but I digress.
This is something I've been going through for the past 2 months. The last few years I've been contracting with IGOs and VCs. Going through interview rounds with medium-large companies and some FAANG has had me purely doing algorithm problems instead of actually building or writing. But hey at least I can find the common elements between two graphs and return their values as a lowercase string.

Something happened between 2012 and today where you could get by one referral and a conversation with a tech lead. Maybe it's the influx or new grads entering the field.
That comes with some trade-offs.

1. Having a spouse who does not have the cultural knowledge, similar interests, empathy or language skills to communicate with your family is an issue. Her choice to date a white man is in a sense a rejection of her own family.

2. She herself may not have the same experiences, mindsets and interests to be able to really connect with her spouse if the relationship is driven by her attempt to run away from the expectations of her family.

3. A white man and his family/friends have a higher chance of being racist and insensitive to race issues. Weirdly enough, it does not seem like racist beliefs and white supremacy preclude white men from dating Asian women or Asian women from reciprocating interest: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/06/opinion/sunday/alt-right-...
actually most of the time laptops (beside super expensive macbooks) are very bad at using 4k and the screen look way blurier than a nice sony vaio 1080p screen (what an amazin computer it was) from almost 10 years ago.

especially with windows still sucking at really handling 4k
My thought was that story points can be used once they are turned into velocity by dividing by time. And you can say that adding this feature half baked now in short time, will inevitably drop our velocity by 10% in the future.
> And laptop manufacturers will now proceed to stuffing these into bargain bin laptops with shitty 1080 displays. To this day desktop/workstation Ryzen CPUs are not treated as a premium product in spite of their superior performance.

Seems like all, or nearly all, of ASUS's laptops this quarter, from premium to value, are Ryzen; shipping with 120Hz+ displays, some of them IPS.
lol you may be right. Most of the time people are looking for some modicum of inoffensiveness rather than some super high bar
It's not a "setback". Their program has failed to produce. They didn't produce results for decades prior to the treaty.
>Is it possible for a burger to have "good taste and good texture" but also not remind you of beef?

Yes! I had one today for dinner in fact. The one I ate today the patty was made with mushrooms, tempeh, and wheat berry. Greens, aioli, pickes & pickled vegetables on top.
I couldn't wait so I got the E495. I wanted the T495, but I'm not going to pay a premium for a laptop that's worse than previous revisions (no option for second battery, soldered RAM).

However, since I got a good deal on mine, I'll consider getting an upgrade if the next batch of laptops look good. I hope Lenovo backtracks on soldering on RAM and removing the option for a second battery for the T-series. If I want thin, I'll get an X-series, I got the T-series because it's a work horse that can be configured according to my needs. I'm not satisfied with the solution of having a USB battery bank as a backup.

Facebook and Instagram have the concept of “close friends”. A lot of people use it pretty close to how you’re envisioning.
Can we see some executable hashes, file names and network activity to prove it?

Also, there is digital surveillance being monetized in iOS and Android phones and tablets innately. Why else would FAANG basically give them away? Calling out one minor company is a drop in the overall bucket.

The development of the BIOS is (typically) done by a company like AMI that interfaces with silicon manufacturers like AMD/Intel and laptop manufacturers like Lenovo/Dell. All of them are to blame for BIOS bugs since almost all laptop platforms (barring Chromebooks and a few others) are locked down in a way that nobody other than them can fix the issues.

Python (or really any dynamic programming language) makes interviews a lot easier, however I have started asking more in-depth questions to make sure they actually understand Python and have done a little bit of research into the language and implementation.

I have noticed some colleges have been teaching more to the interview, so their grads can crush some problems in Python but fail when you ask them to implement a helper they were using. I am not talking about implementing a heap either, I am talking about merging objects.

Dreaming in Code: Two Dozen Programmers, Three Years, 4,732 Bugs, and One Quest for Transcendent Software

This book really captures what software development is like. Highly recommended for non-tech folks who want to understand what programmers do all day.
I don't especially care about the binary (beyond wanting it to be as small and fast as possible on end-users' machines), but I do want the behavior to be the same everywhere.

In C, this is difficult because code often accidentally relies on "undefined behavior" that changes depending on the compiler and optimizations you use. But is that still an issue in newer languages that don't have as much undefined behavior? (Is this something Rust programmers struggle with, for example?)
Updating the BIOS is so rare that I really don't mind going into the BIOS to do an upgrade, especially since an unexpected reboot/freeze can brick your BIOS. I update it maybe once a year, and only if there's some feature that I need.
The new trend in SF/bay area seems to be companies you’re applying to preparing you _specifically_ for the questions they’ll ask. People realized no one memorizes one specific search algorithm or puzzle, so they now tell you, before the interview, that you’ll be asked problems A, B and C.

Not “algorithm problems” or “search” - “we’ll ask you to revert a doubly linked list”.

It’s bizarre.
I don't have a horse in this race either (from Toronto, couldn't care less), but I am a map nerd. I had the same confusion as RobertRoberts when looking at the street view too.

Either I'm vastly underestimating how much property on Martins Beach Rd that Khosla owns, or it's poor journalism with a half explanation of the issue.

The 3D map view shows it better. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Martin's+Beach/@37.3749952...

From what I can see, it's either:
1. The stretch of Martins Beach Rd that runs along the beach, or
2. The tiny road above the row of houses that runs parallel to the stretch of Martins Beach Rd that runs along the beach.

I don't know how it would be 1, as Martins Beach Rd would be a government funded and managed road. According to the map though, both roads are named the same. Somehow I doubt this though, and one of these roads is private, the other is the real Martins Beach Rd.

However, it still doesn't answer why Khosla would be able to close a whole private road when there's what looks like 22 properties on the upper Martins Beach Rd, and 13 properties on the lower Martins Beach Rd - does he own all of them? Really confusing!
How many people is that "plenty"? More or less than one out of a million?

I'd bet hard on "less", and that every single one of them does it by choice.
I really don't think either situation is as binary as you make it. My latest company hired me through a recruiter and my current long term gf I met in lerson first. Have also had a shorter term thing over Tinder, which also went well. Either way, success is an organic thing after the first steps.
Some interesting (audio) books that sort of deal with the story and people behind technology that I liked:

"King of Hearts: The True Story of the Maverick Who Pioneered Open Heart Surgery" - Medicine is a technology too, but how innovation happens there is fascinating (and a little mind boggling)

"Schiit Happened" - small hardware startup by a few guys (they make their own headphone amps/dacs in the US)

"Elon Musk"

"iWoz"
I'm sorry you feel this way. The best advice I can come up with is, either find a product space you care deeply about and see how far you can take it or swim with the wave and start preparing for coding interviews.

I like using the Blum Mental Hash as an interview question. As far as I can tell, it's not mentioned in any interview cram lists, and it's complex enough to see how candidates split up a problem.

This is one of the worse middlebrow responses I've ever read on HN.

I'm disappointed.
I think there were a lot of chemists at that time who were confident that atoms are real, but an influential group of philosophically-minded physicists (Mach, for one) objected to the claim on the basis that the evidence was circumstantial. They gave Boltzmann a good deal of unnecessary grief over the matter (no pun intended).
Never get into bed with a VC unless you’re comfortable waking up next to them for the next 3-10 or more years.
What I meant by that example wasn't an existential threat (I agree if you're there it's already too late), but to contrast how the business people are thinking. As in, they're thinking "here's $1MM of ARR that's likely to go to our competitor away if we don't ship this feature" when the engineer is asking them to get time to clean up the code.

I'm not saying that clean code is a waste of time - it is incredibly valuable! I'm an engineer, and I value good architecture a lot. I'm saying that to get organizational support for it means that we have to get better at demonstrating that value to non-engineers, which will both hold us as engineers accountable to working on the highest impact things (is delaying features worth the potential short term ARR loss or slower customer acquisition? We should have a good answer for that) and help the business balance long and short term prospects.
As far as I know, no website in the world uses ML to decide that you are under 13. They can't by law, afaik, though ianal. My reading of COPPA is that you need to have the user tell you they are under 13, or via a parent. If you think they are a child based on websites visited, or whatever? That's not "Actual Knowledge" that it's a child.

They should eminent domain a teeny narrow strip right across the center of the property, and try to get it assessed as pro rata on acreage. Maybe two very narrow strips in different places for one way traffic in each direction.

What’s weird is how Khosla doesn’t yet have the “upper class” mentality. The true upper class is obsessed with legacy and reputation and would ever allow their name to become synonymous with “asshole.” And the best he is going to get is a few bucks when the state eminent domains an easement.
I have been prepping for almost 6 months now. I look at the stocks new hires get at my company and what my refreshers are. Companies seem to be relying on the fact, most people are too lazy to leetcode and will not give good refreshers. I have been with the company long enough that leaving and coming back atleast will add 600k to my earnings in the next 4 years. One thing however though I notice, that my coding speed has improved a lot by doing timed leetcode questions. I also look at the complexity of everything I write far more than I used to. Overall it looks like a win, win for me. The moment my company gave same level of stock as I would get in 2 years to a new college hire, I have decided to move. I have been with the company for more than 18 years. It is possible it is my company that does this. I hear goog refreshers are good.
> Plus, the rules that interacted with establishment support to facilitate Clinton's win in 2016 were abolishes almost immediately due largely to the influence the Sanders factions gained in the DNC despite not winning the nomination, so even a Clinton clone with an electorate with no hindsight to 2016 failures would have a harder time.

Lightning Network is not peer to peer which is what most of us signed up for with bitcoin. I don’t want centralized middlemen and their channels, might as well use a bank at that point.

Maybe we just need a better way of doing short term contracts. If both parties can sign on to something that won't have huge negative consequences if it goes poorly then there's more room for experimentation. Dating already has these unwritten rules, meeting for a non-committal coffee, going out to dinner, going to a show, a bar, one night stands, and the gradient of casual relationships to marriage prospects. I think there used to be equivalents for these gradations in employment but so much formalization has built up around the hiring process that it's choked most of them out.

Here's a neat idea: maybe regulating software engineering like other engineering disciplines is actually overdue? Yet at the same time, failure rate will never be zero.

Alternatively, we should renounce all engineering regulations and let anybody with a rivet gun build bridges. and airplanes.
I didn't see anything in the article that supported this conclusion.

We did not evolve from chimps, we share a common ancestor, but we evolved (and continue to evolve) independently. We may have lost this ability or we may have never had it. Chimps could have developed it after branching off.
