It's definitely not fair to kill them off because you're cutting off the nose to spite the face and mostly hurting people that have no share of the guilt here, the whole ecosystem that relies on that company.

"The company" did nothing wrong, the leaders, for encouraging the type of culture that lead to this, and specific other employees, etc. are the ones who did this.

It's like a bad tooth. You don't kill the patient for it.
The article is long on detail and short on suggestions (which is understandable). However, the suggestions it does make are not obviously going to work. The men illustrated in the article do not seem incapable of work, but rather disinterested. Vocational training isn't going to fix the fact that the government benefits the article cited allows the men to stay at home playing video games all day. Most people (but especially men, given the propensity of the male psyche to become dependent on dopamine) would rather take the short term thrill of continuous dopamine hits provided by video games than working to make a living.

Who can really blame them? For the vast majority of history, the main impetus for men to seek status of any kind is to impress women and provide a legacy for families. As the article mentions, men who are cut off from each of these simply stop participating in the kinds of behavior that make modern society possible. Enabled by the preponderance of easily accessible government money, drugs, etc, these men, lacking any legacy or dependents to speak of, would rather bide their time hedonistically. Some, realizing their situation, choose not to bide their time at all (look at the rise of middle aged male suicides).

Unfortunately, the two causes the article cites (dissolution of family structure and rise of single male households) are unaddressed. This is understandable as even mentioning these problems in high society today would be frowned upon. The article admits this, but, the writer, being part of the same society he's criticizing, falls into the same trap.
> but people tend to be either slow movers or fast movers and that seems harder to change. Being a fast mover is a big thing; a somewhat trivial example is that I have almost never made money investing in founders who do not respond quickly to important emails.

I think I’m self-aware enough to recognize that I am probably a slow mover, and this is one of the most annoying aspects of my personality that I would like to change. I get hung up on small details, iterate too many times, and want things to be “perfect” before I publish or share them.

Has anyone successfully changed this aspect of themselves? Sam mentions that this personality trait seems to be mostly invariant over time, but surely there are some habits that one could develop that lead to an eventual change (if not in personality, then at least in behavior).

> At least in Germany, that math doesn't add up. Electricity is - if it's not heavily subsidized...

In Germany, 1 kWh costs over 30 cents. As far as I know, that's one of the highest rates in "Western" countries.

If electric cars make sense in Germany, then they can succeed pretty much anywhere.

Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_pricing#Global_com... lists Germany price/kWh at 0.35 USD, making it indeed the most expensive Western country at least by quick eyeballing.
>That's not true in the case of creating new markets either geographically or catering to clients who would not be in the market otherwise.

This is such a thieve's attitude, "what good is money sitting in this rich man's house unused, when I can create opportunities for all who I would spend it on?"
Are there examples on how this can be used for topic modeling, document similarity etc? All the examples I’ve seen (gensim) use bag-of-words which seems to be outdated.
> One of the biggest early hurdles in our porting effort was how to overcome the string literals type mismatch between Python 2 and 3. In Python 2, a '' string literal is a sequence of bytes. In Python 3, a '' string literal is a sequence of Unicode code points. These are fundamentally different types. And in Mercurial's code base, most of our string types are binary by design: use of a Unicode based str for representing data is flat out wrong for our use case. We knew that Mercurial would need to eventually switch many string literals from '' to b'' to preserve type compatibility. But doing so would be problematic.

> In the early days of Mercurial's Python 3 port in 2015, Mercurial's project maintainer (Matt Mackall) set a ground rule that the Python 3 port shouldn't overly disrupt others: he wanted the Python 3 port to more or less happen in the background and not require every developer to be aware of Python 3's low-level behavior in order to get work done on the existing Python 2 code base. This may seem like a questionable decision (and I probably disagreed with him to some extent at the time because I was doing Python 3 porting work and the decision constrained this work). But it was the correct decision. Matt knew that it would be years before the Python 3 port was either necessary or resulted in a meaningful return on investment (the value proposition of Python 3 has always been weak to Mercurial because Python 3 doesn't demonstrate a compelling advantage over Python 2 for our use case).

As a general rule, this seems like good practice, but surely b-strings, print_function, etc are a trivial upfront cost, and one that would have to be paid sooner or later anyway?
Side project turned business. It’d paid for itself and more.
Is it just me or does the preview gif in the github rendered readme drop a few frames during the animation? I hope that's just the gif, not the library.
Well, in truth they most likely have something like a decade or so to adjust which is both not a lot and enough for such organizations to adjust.

Sure some manufacturers will go bust and collapse, but other will adapt, and new ones will be created.

I'm quite puzzled by Tesla's valuation, such a valuation is betting on it becoming a huge actor in the post IC automobile industry which is not a given.

I'm also skeptical about the "Iphone moment", functionally the Iphone was a huge step forward (basically having a small computer in your pocket vs having something just doing phone calls, SMSes and snake), but a Tesla, well, right now, it's still a car which does more or less the same thing as any other car (just slightly better in some aspect, slightly worst in others).

It's also not the same market, the Iphone appeared in the booming market of mobile phones which was seeing exponential growth at the time. And also, the gain in functionality and convenience was enough to transform the market from consumers willing to pay at most ~100$ for a flip phone to consumers willing to pay 1000$ for a smartphone with all that entails in term margins and profitability.

The car market by contrast, is not seeing such a growth, and it's unlikely consumers will be willing to spend that much more for their car.

There are potential market shift possible which could be caused by things like reliable autonomous vehicles, tighter regulations forbidding IC vehicles in some cities, cheaper cars (as EV are mechanically simpler, it's a possibility), but these are somewhat elusive.

Tesla valuation is at the very least a huge bet.
rather than hiding it down some hole or in a cave where it will be forgotten until it starts seeping into the aquifer, why not create a containment system that's right out in the open so everyone can keep an eye on it and maintain it?
It's not that it provides any particular skills, but rather that it acts as an indicator that someone can take direction and instruction. If an employer has 100 applicants, half of which have a high school degree or less, then they're just going to toss those applications and interview the other half simply as a matter of cost/time savings and risk reduction.

>The CIA and related agencies need pressure to keep them on their toes and doing the "right thing"

How is that pressure supposed to happen when the referenced case, Nixon's "plumbers," shows them directly interfering with politics? No matter how vital you view an organization able to control foreign states, what you're building is an organization to control your state.
Ask HN: Thinking of moving to The Bay Area, what should I do during a visit?
I'm somewhat idly considering moving to the bay from NYC. I spent two weeks in Mountain View when I was at Google and a weekend in SF, but that's it. Flying out to SF for a week -- suggestions for things to do that are less touristy and give more of a sense of what it's like actually living in SF/The Bay? Broad strokes, I'm interested in:

* Seeing if I'm okay with the ways The Bay is different than NYC
* Experiencing some more of the "tech culture" that's less prominent in NYC

Obviously I know there's only so much you can really expose yourself to in just a week, but any suggestions would be appreciated! :)
Your point may or may not be true, but it doesn't matter. The kind of person with the courage and ambition to build something like Wikileaks is very rare, and he or she may in fact be a bit egotistical. You could say the same thing about people who become movie stars, presidents, social media influencers, etc.

What your comment is doing is often known as shooting the messenger. While I do not personally believe that Assange is a bad human being in any way, it really doesn't matter. He revealed major fraud relating to the Iraq and Afghan wars, among many other important revelations.

There has been a massively asymmetrical response that has focused on Assange and his character rather than on the major misdeeds by government.

Imagine, for a moment, if there was a janitor who reported Jerry Sandusky's misdeeds, and upon investigation it turned out the janitor was involved in some kind of criminal activity. I would still want Jerry brought to justice and any foibles of the whistleblower would be merely incidental.

What is hard for me to understand is why people such as yourself seem to focus only on Assange and ignore the much more significant crimes.
No one marries middle aged men. Well... that's hyperbole. Historically, most men would marry in their 20s. This article says that middle aged men have given up working. Those some men could have been ambitious (or ambitious enough) 20 somethings who -- due to cultural changes -- never quite married and settled down.

That is to say, it is not entirely clear that an apathy problem among old men is the cause of declining marriage rates, given that most people marry well before the age of the men in the article.
It's interesting to see the contrast in discussion with other posts that talk about how we need to get rid of useless jobs. Those posts normally talk about how we need to make it so it's possible to just live off government benefits instead of spending our lives working, meanwhile this submission calls it a national crisis when men are leaving the workforce and choosing to live off of government benefits. I don't think people choosing to leave the workforce is necessarily a bad thing, but there should be a way for them to find a sense of purpose or community, if that's what they desire.
The issue is the lack of sound dampening. It happens with any car. You can fix this retroactively with sound dampening products in any car that you feel is excessively loud inside. Some cars are worse than others. Model 3 probably just cheaps out with their use of interior dampening foam.
It was a SaaS. Required heavy database and memory work. But it supports my point that a surprise $100k is a far fetched concern.

If you run an exit node on you home internet connection _EVERYTTHING_ that sits behind cloudflare will recaptcha you on every page load. It's easy for service providers to get a list of all tor exit nodes and then blacklist them. If your home IP is an exit node, even non tor traffic coming from regular browsing on your machine is indistinguishable from actual tor traffic. 3

So, assuming that Kubernetes was installed using kubeadm, this was the document you needed to find:

https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/kubeadm/...

Moreover, if you are keeping pace with kubeadm upgrades at all (minor releases are quarterly, and patches are more frequent) then since the most recent minor release, Kubernetes 1.17, certificate renewal as an automated part of the upgrade process is enabled by default. You would have to do at least one cluster upgrade per year to avoid expired certs. tl;dr: this cert expiration thing isn't a problem anymore, but you do have to maintain your clusters.

(Unless you are using a managed k8s service, that is...)

https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/kubeadm/...

The fact remains also that this is the very first entry under "Administration with Kubeadm", so if you did use kubeadm and didn't find it, I'm going to have to guess that either docs have improved since your experience, or you really weren't looking to administrate anything at all.
I use the external-dns and cert-manager tools. cert-manager uses lets-encrypt but fully automates everything, you just add an annotation to your ingress resource. Been using it in prod for around 6 months now with no problems.
Me too. I live in a small town that is very walkable (30 minutes to library, 15 minutes to the food bank where I volunteer, 10 minutes to groceries and our movie theater).

When I retired last spring I gave my car to my granddaughter and shipped it to her. I can use my wife’s car and use Uber in a pinch, but I like walking.

Safety is an issue. A friend’s roommate was walking in our town and hit by a car and killed before Christmas. I would enjoy walking even more if we had more sidewalks, and more dedicated lanes for the bikers.

Its not satisfying because its not intuitive. Its not intuitive because our billion years of evolution never exposed use to such experiences to observe. If we limit ourselves to only whats intuitive it will be necessarily limiting to our ability to make new discoveries.
Worse yet, it devalues the degree they're working so hard for (and paying so much for).

As many here can attest, we already have a significant problem with people passing through CS/etc programs and coming out the other end without being able to write a fizz-buzz off the top of their heads. Looking at current curricula, it strikes me as noticeably dumbed down, compared to the no-name program I went through several decades ago.

The logical formulae are outside my learning, at this point in my life, but I do understand the general gist of the theorems from prior exposure and discussion.

If this were my first exposure, the overly florid, 'artsy' presentation would have sent me packing before the end of the first section, thinking "Oh, great, now I'm going to have to unpack his prose before I can even follow the discussion".
At my previous home, in a rural part of Ohio, DSL via Windstream was the only option for wired internet. It was advertised as 12mbps download, but after installing it, they told me the best speed they could do was only 7mbps down and 768kbps up - for the same price. It was generally reliable during the day but would often drop to slower speeds during evenings and weekends.

Over the 6~7 years that I lived there, things improved somewhat, with the speed jumping to 11/1.5 and then 21/1.5, and the evening and weekend issues lessened.

The "guaranteed for life" price also went up at least once a year. (The base price remained the same, but they kept adding new fees.)

I was never really satisfied with the speed, price, or reliability from Windstream.

At my new home, in town, I have a cable internet through Spectrum (Time Warner) which was advertised at 940mbps down and 35mbps up, and it often exceeds that by a few mbps.

DSL is also an option, but the fastest speed I saw advertised was 45mbps.

I'm not sure aluminium is a good example - while your foil is high purity aluminium, large part of Earth is aluminium bound with other elements. Traditionally the main issue was separating it from those.

It's questionable storing all this for later would be more efficient, even with higher purity, than just raffine it from rocks at industrial scale.

Part of the difference may stem from the fact that I am an experimentalist, and he is a theorist. Theoretical progress has been slow, in large part because Nature has been unwilling to show any new experimental deviations from the Standard Model.

Experimentally, people continue to hammer away at the Standard Model (and gravity, my specialty), and the paradigm continues to hold. With few exceptions, most ideas from 40 years ago have been put to significant tests and turned out not to be how Nature operates.

From a theory standpoint, without new guidance from us, theorists are forced to attempt to out-think Nature, which is extremely hard to do. Smolin may be bummed, but theorists can take solace in the fact that the problem is extremely difficult.

In the particular case of quantum-mechanics, the day that theorists divine a compelling way that one interpretation of QM makes a prediction that differs from that of another interpretation is the day that an experimentalist starts building a test to find out which one is true.

It's actually a different story with the Switch. Apparently it doesn't follow the USB specification correctly which means if you use a charger with higher power output than the expected it damages its battery whereas if the spec was followed the device negotiates it's power requirements with the charger and avoids any damage.
I think there are areas where slow movers have an advantage. For instance, an area where the cost of an iteration is high - a slow mover may have an advantage planning and executing the iteration.

But, if you want to get faster, one thing is to ask yourself - do I have enough information to make a decision; is it possible to get more information - almost always the answer is yes, but will the cost in money or time or other resources be worth the additional information for the decision - or do we discover just as much moving forward to discover if a decision is wrong. Another question is if a decision is wrong, can we recognize that outcome quickly and what is the cost to move to a different decision.
>Needless to say, the relationship between family structure and prime-age male labor-force participation is complex, with causation arrows pointing both ways. Yet on balance, the net effect of such changes appears to have been a withdrawal of male labor from the workforce — a "supply-side effect," and a major one.
I am not sure I understand what you are saying here.
