I'm a radio technician, not a hardware or software engineer. Most of our customers are things like water/wastewater districts, utility companies and assorted state and federal government projects (people who can afford $1000 radios and need them to be rock solid for 10+ years). Its not all super exciting work, but we do get the chance to work on some pretty interesting stuff on occasion, and designing radio networks can be pretty rewarding.

Agree with you on the lack of protocol compatibility - I think its seen as an competitive moat of sorts, but it can make it difficult to get into existing systems due to the need to essentially rip and replace existing systems. Unfortunately, vendors are also terrible at being compatible with their own legacy products due to the use of fixed function chipsets, although that is changing with the move to SDR.

> Eventually having decent farm land is going to cost a premium and food price will rise because of it.

I believe prime tillable land in Iowa currently goes for something like $10k/acre. That's not really in the realm of "cheap" when you need 100s of acres to be profitable in today's farm economy.

Further, the agricultural colleges in the Midwest have extension offices specifically devoted to spreading best practices regarding sustainability and soil health.

Healthy soil is productive soil. There's a reason yields keep going up, and its not just down to plant breeding.

the lawsuit will now be known as Google v. Oracle, since Google asked the Supreme Court to hear the case. After nine years, we’ll have to get used to calling the case by this new name

Interesting.

Poetic.

Google can’t win this fight (if they win) as a defendant, only as an aggressor.
Maybe they are not so different.

Triplebyte is like Tinder, but for jobs/hiring no?

You fill up a profile, you can browse companies and indicate when one is a potential match for you (It's the same for companies, I guess).

If there is a match then you can contact each other.

That's not my reading of COPPA (but I'm no lawyer). Just because you can't individually track a user, doesn't mean you can't store a cookie with a single flag for "under13=true" or something like that. COPPA is about personal-information, not pretending children don't exist at all.

Wow, it works for aircraft too.
No,not as big. All the ones I have seen in Punjab are way smaller, almost the size of an F-150 pickup truck.
That's OK, you're not really the target audience, I am. My wife is vegan and I'm not. We have pet pigs, so I gave up pork. We have pet chickens now, so I've mostly given up chicken. We never have meat in the house. It's nice to have a burger and damn do I miss pork. We buy a lot of impossible. I even ate the whopper, despite finding everything at burger king to be inedible. (It was OK. Tasted like a crap burger, so it was entirely convincing.). I'm very excited about this.
It’s an iterative process:

1. Talk to people until you find a problem with a solution that you can build that people will pay you for.

2. Build the smallest unit of product that can solve that problem. It doesn’t have to be scalable, it doesn’t have to be perfect or complete, but it needs to solve the problem.

3. Sell it to one or more customers who have the problem you can solve. Don’t build more until you have a sale, and ideally you should have one or more pre-sales.

4. Talk to your customers for feedback. Figure out which suggests are general and which are customer-specific. Build the general suggestions first if necessary. Otherwise, sell more.

5. Rinse and repeat.

If you are solo, expect to spend the vast majority of your time talking to customers and making sales. Product is not the time sink.
I setup Pegasus Mail at a company in 1994, had no idea it was still around. Amazing dedication to keep it going all this time. NetWare came and went pretty quickly.
2 “FAANG” companies and another one of the top big tech ones. One had a recruiter calling and literally listing all the questions they “could ask”, coding, architecture and all. They asked all of them.
No. People who make money day trade with options. You and I do long-term stock purchase (“show me the dividends”). But if you can afford to trade everyday like a full time job, you do options.

Ask HN: Is it too late to reverse the data fragmentation in the cloud and web?
I feel that I'm constantly moving data between various platforms and my devices and it makes it impossible for me to reliably find what I saved or shared because there are so many places I could have seen it, created it, or sent it. For example, I will frequently use Facebook Messenger to send myself links from my computer to my phone so that I can then forward to my family via SMS which is obviously a clunky experience. Or while at work, I constantly have to search information I know exists but can't remember whether was in a Google Doc, a website, or an email. There doesn't seem to be a platform or service that can be my go to for sharing and using my data like photos, links, notes, etc except maybe Facebook which is less than ideal for the obvious data privacy reasons. Is there any hope for the future or is this only going to get worse?
You start by allowing people to rate the ratings. For instance, flag individual titles or tags 'not interested' such as on Steam. Even just a way to hide individual titles would make a system like Netflix much better to use, and bring product customers are more likely to pay for to the foreground. And then you can feed the data to the recommendation engines, which might start to learn about what demographics are using the system rather than relying on assumptions. My personal belief (as someone with zero actual experience here), is that dislikes and disinterest would be much better for generating recommendations over likes and interest. 'likes' just gives you what is popular in your familiar genres. 'dislikes' expresses your tastes.
That would be a perfectly reasonable and legal thing to do. But California doesn’t want to set the precedent of having to actually pay for property rights. Ever since Penn Central gutted the Fifth Amendment, states prefer to use regulation to take private property for public use.
You can also have more precise time stamps with the Roughtime protocol [1] (Peter Todd has talked about this [2]), although it is easier for the servers in the Roughtime protocol to cooperate and forge time stamps than in Bitcoin.

Another way to prevent "double spending"/attacks like these, you can burn Bitcoin with each publishing of the hash, ensuring that it is at least costly for an attacker to preemptively timestamp all of the probability space.

Your security analysis looks correct to me.

In this specific case, the book isn't even out for advance readers. The literal least goodreads could do is turn off reviews for the book until the author tells them otherwise.
Who says the world is effectively finite? We've consistently invented more to want and buy, which has promoted even activity, and so on, for the last millennium at least.

The answer to this typically is: even if you've never done these kinds of problems before and would not need to solve them during your employment, still go prepare, study and that would show your commitment to work hard and ability to learn. To which my (mental) response is: why don't you ask me to dance ballet for you? That would show a real commitment!
Custom parts for maintenance (because it's an early design), more maintenance (because more moving parts), and apparently more people?

Coupled with the increase in PV efficiency, and decrease in PV price, mean for utilities its cheaper to bring up a new modern plant than maintain the old plant that they apparently don't have liability for.
This sort of thing is going to become very important for photos and videos. Being able to prove that an original earlier unaltered version of a video exists will allow us to reject AI-altered fake videos.

Indeed, once it becomes commonplace, videos that do not have a blockchain record recorded close to creation time will be suspect. The less time an AI has to alter a video, the less likely alteration is.
No doubt, and I definitely can’t speak to how it is to date as a short/nonwhite guy other than what I know from my friends. My comments are more directed towards the economic side of this discussion, which started to veer into the “women are all gold diggers” incel-type territory that I’m beginning to hear more often. In my opinion and experience, nothing repels positive relationships like that kind of mindset. Anyway, that’s why I mentioned my salary, which is practically a joke compared to the kinds of numbers people are talking about here.

It implies that marketing works for marketing. It's possible that those involved in the marketing sector are more vulnerable to marketing. This vulnerability could be the reason that they have faith in the sector's methods, and are therefore employed in the sector.

Many people are marketing averse, and marketing at them will have a negative effect. It just seems that there are enough people around who respond positively to marketing to make it a successful business.
I think the onus for curating a child's video content rightfully belongs on the one raising the child. How can YouTube (or any content creator) come up with a policy appropriate for everyone? Parents and guardians have different ideas of what their children should and should not watch.
My FIL had 88 acres in NE Indiana, grew corn, winter wheat, and soy beans and raised 40,000 chickens at a time. Not all the farmers were making money, and when they went out of business there were auctions. Soooo, my FIL got his farm equipment, including tractors, used at the auctions.

And he did his own repairs: I remember sitting with him at Christmas at his kitchen table with a little mechanical part, precisely machined, part of the fuel injection system. He had me looking at the part, including the moving part, to see if it could be the cause of some problem he was having with the fuel system. So, yes, he did his own repair work.

Heck, for his house he got plans from Better Homes and Gardens and did nearly all the work himself. For the baseboard heat, he innovated and made the parts himself. He did the carpentry to make his own kitchen and dining room tables and chairs, living room coffee table, etc.

For the chickens, he mixed his own feed, and for that built his own feed mixing facility with, yes, used parts. He would include corn, 55 gallon drums of anchovies from Chile, etc.

At the time, there was money in chickens due to suddenly progress in breeding, nutrition, and disease control.

For the chicken houses, he got plans from the USDA and built the houses both longer and wider than in the plans. He used no concrete and had tar paper for the sides and roofs. For the floors, those were dirt, and between batches of chickens he would use his tractor to clean out the floors and then spread wood shavings. For feeding the chickens, he designed, patented, and built his own feeders -- so the chickens have to eat all the feed and not just pick out the corn which is their favorite.

He learned the hard way that he had do to his own marketing: Some grocery store chain would promise to buy the whole flock of 40,000 but when the chickens were ready would find an excuse to delay, say, a sale on beef or pork. A delay of a week meant that had to feed the chickens for another week, and there went most of the profit. So the store would string him out until he would sell below cost just to get rid of the chickens.

So, he did his own marketing: He worked with a guy who did big chicken dinners for large organizations. Then the dates, quantities, and prices were all SET in advance. Smart.

Eventually due to NE Indiana winter snows, the chicken houses sagged a LOT, but by then he was out of the chicken business and head of the local electric power cooperative! So, building the chicken houses cheap paid off! Others built tiny chicken houses with concrete floors, cinder block walls, and tin roofs, outlast the Pyramids, and long since standing empty as the farmers went out of business.

Yup, gotta be smarter than the average hick to be successful in farming!
How much would the fate of the universe page on Wikipedia change with linear expansion? Do we have a bit longer before the stretch?
A blind date doesn't have anything to do with whether the connection is mutual. A blind date is where you go on a date with someone you've never met, let alone seen. In Tinder, you not only get to see what the person looks like but you chat with them before the in-person date. There's nothing "blind" about it. In fact, blind dates barely exist in the internet age. The closest thing to a blind date today actually would be through a mutual connection. (e.g. your friend Steve convinces Tyler's sister to go on a date with you because he thinks you'll both get along, even though neither of you have met or seen each other)

Either I'm delusional or a relic of a different era.
People who care enough about their career to cram falls into 2 groups pretty evenly:

1. People who care about building good products, leading to good careers.

2. People who care about their career for the sake of their careers. This group tends to focus on office politics.

Therefore, caring enough about their career to cram has not a signal for how much they will care about building great products.
This is exactly why decentralized currency is no better than regular currency. Bitcoin is centralized in the hands of a few shady, anonymous exchange owners funding the development.

At least in a capitalist democracy we get to elect the criminals who rob us blind.
I'm sorry, but this is a bad take.

Of all the free services available online, YouTube is maybe the single worst example you could pick as far as "offering little actual user value".

The fact that any user across some 76 languages can upload any number of up to 12 hour videos that are then transcoded, captioned, and shareable FOR FREE is absurd.

If those videos never get a more than 10 views, it's still hosted and accessible FOR FREE. If they blow up and get billions of views, the service scales to serve that FOR FREE.

If you get really popular, you can CHOOSE to show ads on your videos and get paid for views while still taking advantage of the free hosting and infrastructure. It's a goddamn miracle that individuals creating and publishing their own web videos has become a viable occupation. That didn't exist before YouTube.

Even more impressive is spending money and resources hosting all of the videos that will never be viewed. A user here posted a website that randomly played a continuous feed of never before viewed videos[1]. It's astounding.

All this while also operating the second largest search engine in the world to help viewers find your content for free and being so reliable as to make global news when it goes offline for some users for an hour[2].

I can understand criticizing some of YouTube's policies or interactions with mega creators, but I legitimately can't comprehend calling their contribution "little actual user value".

What are the norms?
Interestingly, the only places I've interviewed with that deviated from the typical SV coding challenge interview have been the national labs (JPL, LANL, Sandia, etc.). The questions they asked were much more focused on my interests as well as evaluating my general software engineering skills. I did an internship at one of them last year and it looks like I might be headed back there this summer too. Hoping I don't get locked into the national labs scene permanently.
Being realistic took the US three years to develop a nuclear weapon in the 1940's. That's one side of things. The other is South Africa and North Korea all developed nuclear weapons. As did Pakistan. And Israel.

Given that the only explanation that makes sense vis Iran is they haven't developed nukes because they don't want to violate the Non-Proliferation treaty.
> The absolute minimum bar to hit for a car that's even roughly the same price (say within 30% or so) is the range of the equivalent Tesla.

It's not that simple. The Audi e-tron outsells both the Model X and the Model S in Europe:

http://ev-sales.blogspot.com/2019/12/europe-november-2019.ht...

> Bear in mind also, that this car would not give you access to Tesla superchargers.

I always find this mindset strange. A closed charging network is not in your best interest as a driver. The question you should be asking is why can't you charge any EV on Tesla's chargers.

Here is a Volkswagen ID.3 charging side by side with a Tesla Model 3 on Ionity chargers, exactly as it should be:

Other charging networks allow Teslas to charge on them, so when will Tesla reciprocate and open their network to other EVs?
Is there a forum/BB/group support where Enterprise Architects hang out?
I've recently joined a company in this Enterprise Architecture role. I am a mixed bag of IT Operation/ERP/Development/Project/Innovation. The new company's President hired me because he sees my "potential" which at this point in time is a bit of shrug. I get when it comes to IT/System/Data architecture, but to translate that into practice is something else. The president has guided and hand-hold me tremendously so far. But he is 8000km away from office and super busy with company matters. I hate to interrupt him with noob Qs etc. I need to be and socialise in a group of ppl of similar role so I can truly internalise what is going with this EA which as it is a high speed moving train/target. Reading books/articles just isn't enough anymore. I need to talk to ppl with similar situation and interact with them like a group support or something ..
Tractors aren’t that hard to work on. Medical equipment is different because lives are on the line. As a heavy equipment mechanic, the mechanics of things don’t change they just add propriety electronic controls just like automobiles. So you can’t scan the trouble codes on your tractor.

Can you explain why you think it's a convoluted mess?
In my first startup, I switched our email from an ISP hosted offering to an self-hosted system. We were ramen poor, and this was projected to save us around $1K/month. The replacement system was postfix with dovecot, worked like a champ. Got buyoff from CEO/CTO/CFO, deployed it; transitioned everyone over. One of the CEO's pet employees was pissed because of some problem with Mozilla/Firefox not working the way he liked. So the entire system was switched back, the very same day. Mail was messed up for a few days as we didn't control our DNS, and that was added to the blame game. Fun times.

No matter how much buy-in you get, people can be unreasonable about making any accommodation for change.

One thing I wish for the future tech around brain machine interface & gene modification and thats less people being born into a life where they end up wishing they had never been born. I think that goal is realistic with what theoretically can be done. The what ifs about identity around previous unmodified genetics can take a back seat imo.

Back in the we had decent aspect ratios.
One thing I've never understood is this.

How do we tell the difference between the expansion of space and the dilation of time?

Given that space and time are crudely specking intertwined (spacetime) how do we know that the effect we see -- redshifting -- is due to the spatial expansion at every known "point" and not the temporal expansion (contraction?) at every known moment? Could not the spatial size of the universe be constant and its "clock" be being distorted?
Point Break: How Crunch Culture Survives Despite a Decade of Criticism (2016)
And this is why you vegetarians and vegans aren't he target. I couldn't eat that. I don't like mushrooms or tempeh and I don't know what a wheat berry is. To be fair, I don't like most foods. I eat steak with salt and pepper and baked potatoes with butter and salt. Pickled anything is a non starter. I also don't like most cooked vegetables, almost no cooked fruit (no pie, thank you), dressing that isn't ranch or anything with a weird texture.

Impossible is a blessing because I can be a boring eater and still do ad little harm as possible.

(Being a picky eater sucks. I wish I liked food. I promise, it's not because I like being a pain. My policy is that I'll try anything twice, to avoid any initial bias. I'm just kind of broken.)
I wonder how happy those people generally are? Maybe that would be a better definition of "successful".
Every block has a limited amount of space for transactions (1 MB previously, 4 and up to 8 technically with segregated witness?) , the person mining the block includes transactions based on fees provided by users initiating the transaction.

If there are tons of people looking to make transactions, fees go up or down based on people's willingness to pay to be included in the next block.
Yes, all chemists suspected atoms were real, but they were mostly careful not to claim to have evidence for it that they did not, in fact, have -- yet! Nobody but nobody was surprised when we turned out to really have atoms. It was all a relief, but it didn't change much about how chemistry was conducted. It made catalysis easier to understand, and ultimately DNA as a physical basis for life that made biologists generally very uneasy. Many had thought of themselves as studying something divine, and had to get used to being chemists.

It's not so much that you can cram for this stuff (you can cram for anything, to some extent!) and more that this whole 'coding' interview and whiteboarding stuff has evolved into something that actively encourages cramming, and discourages professionalism and commitment to the actual work. It's indistinguishable from a cargo cult at this point.

One would think 1080p displays aren’t even profitable to make these days compared to the cost of a HiDPI, just like we don’t see 800x600 or 1024x768 displays anymore. Eventually, whatever money is being saved by a power res display will be too marginal to make it reasonable to place in new products (ie when 2X DPI becomes the new 1X).

Progress for whom? Seems like a false dichotomy to me.
I'm not sure I would point to ground beef as a particularly "natural source of calories". At least not in the US, where cows are largely raised on.... corn and soy (and pharmaceuticals).
