News Corp employee lashes climate misinformation in Australian bushfire coverage
Zuckerberg has a history of being intellectually lazy and making choices that are a net negative for society. There is no secret to the nefariousness. It is right out in the open. He is not a good guy and his response to the overflowing racism and bad faith political content on FB is a giant meh. Twitter showed real leadership. It is Facebooks turn.
It's interesting that Boeing apparently has a bigger issue with the language used than with the culture that fostered these communications in the first place. That is one sick company, trying hard to pretend it was a sick company.

It definitely is. I think they should nix the unlock fee to further incentivize this, personally.
Most of the evidence suggests (unintuitively) that insurance coverage doesn't have much of an impact on health outcomes, but does have a large impact on economic outcomes. I say that as a supporter of M4A
This question sends a message "I'm a boss, you're a rank-and-file employee. Now, when we've made it clear, do a little self shaming."

Imagine addressing this question to a senior lawyer that you need to sort out some complicated situation. I guess, the lawyer would be first stunned for a second and then insulted that he's being treated like a kid.
I don't think you're actually disagreeing with me; you're saying that something is possible with a low bitrate. Are the most interesting use cases possible? Probably not.

That's interesting. I just don't think there has been any research into holistically evaluating social networks. AFAIK studies mostly focus on small parts often with the premise to find something negative (e.g. effect of seeing other feeds with success stories).

Obviously a lot of people do in fact derive pleasure and some other benefits or they wouldn't keep using it.
At least people are elected, I don't remember electing anybody in facebook and I don't want facebook to decide for me what is true and what is not, certainly when I know most of them politically lean in a very obvious way.
Additionally, NeXTStep had been in use in production on investment bank trading floors, in scientific institutions, and in military/intelligence agencies. It wasn't widely used, but it was used.

So while it might not have been quite ready for the median System 7 user's expectations, it was pretty solid.
1.) of course there was a choice. That’s what all of this was, a concrete plan, none of this was organic. A choice was made to be nuclear-free, and not coal free. This is what set the stage for larger reductions of nuclear than coal as renewables grew. This was absolutely a choice.

2.) this absolutely may be what’s underpinning the preference. I’ve never really made a claim about why the choice was made, only pointed out it was the wrong choice from an environmental perspective. But let’s not pretend this was some nefarious lobbyists, the German people were behind prioritization of closing nuclear as well.

3.) Sure, although we both know this doesn’t justify the decision as it’s not a big enough issue to really matter.

4.) Right but we aren’t talking about plans to build new nuclear plants, we are talking about what that already exists gets decommissioned, coal or nuclear. So this is irrelevant.

5.) Again, not relevant to which of existing power generation capabilities you phase out.

You really seem unwilling to engage on the point being made here.
This brought back memories of doing data entry for an insurance company as a teenager. I spent eight hours a day transcribing people's names, addresses, SSNs, and medical ailments, including all sorts of sexually transmitted diseases.

It's weird, now that I think about it. I was just some kid they hired as a temp. We've never really known who's looking at our private data.
They said they are willing to put effort in for their friend. What is wrong with that?
He said “STP” or “standard temperature and pressure”, which controls for the things that affect the measurement changing.

Yes, but that would be a more generic description. All of mathematics abstracts previously partially known knowledge.

When we went from 1 coconut -> the set {1}, then we were being really abstract for the times.

But I think your point is that category theory synthesises group theory, linear algrebra, topology, etc. into one concept, which was very much the spirit of the origins of category theory. However, Mac Lane and Eilenberg thought that their diagrams were just an aid to mathematics (much like a Venn diagram, Cayley diagram or a Feynman diagram). But when they realised that natural transformations are so ubiquitous and fundamental, then they realised that their graphs were not just a useful shorthand, but in fact would lead to a whole new type of mathematics. When people thought (not Mac Lane though) category theory was "abstract nonsense" they were making this mistake of thinking that the diagrams are illustrations rather than concrete mathematics.

In the same way, you might thing that {1,2,3} is just an illustration, but in fact it is a rigorous shorthand for a very specific set.

The real meat behind category theory are things like natural transformations and adjunctions. But to get to category theory from there, you do a kind of reverse engineering.
Setting the terms of permissible voluntary contracts is exactly the governments domain. Honestly this logic is somewhat baffling.
Not sure if I'd agree with extreme disadvantage, perhaps slight. I'd wager most even super competent C programmers rarely to never look under the hood at such things.

That said, to me, while C the language is super simple and easy to write, I always find reading it a chore. Folks using 'clever' hacks, rarely using built in types, lack of nice standard library, and so on, make it a bit of a pain to follow unless you are prepared to invest a non-insignificant amount of time. I rarely dive into such things for this reason...
> asked for pieces of ID

This is annoying for everyone but the adversary who can just spend $50 to buy a set of fake ids with your info.

Especially since Gandi doesn’t store your old IDs, they aren’t even going to check if the info on the fakes matches the ones you provided previously.

I can’t imagine this working very well, just give them a number from a country where they can’t verify who owns the number.
Nice.

This reminds me of when I decided to drop from 2 cars down to 1 and my insurance company was going to raise my rates, which made zero sense (I lost the multi car discount).

I'm guessing this is another case of:

> Don't attribute to malice that which can be explained through incompetence.

Maybe someone intentionally made it harder for existing customers, but I'm guessing it was an accident.
I think OneNote is the best option. I have been trying alternatives but nothing seems to come close.
I can still object and demand government to do something about that. This is my legal right. If I quit Facebook it is not going to solve the problem on a higher level except alienate me from other people.

This is not a silly hyperbole. It would be a solution to avoid sharing your data with anyone. There are also other entities that could abuse your data.

SMS might not be the safest thing either.
Plenty of drivers get rejected because the kernel developers have no confidence that they will be maintained going forward, which would mean the driver would be removed fairly quickly again.

Well, this is a thread speculating about the future decade, reflecting on a guy's insights who has a dubious track record, by intelligent people that are in the loop of current tech trends.
Which was known about at the time. The ideal gas law for example dates back to 1834 or 27 years before the oldest measurements in this dataset. But even that was not needed with Barometer’s dating back to 1643 and vacuum pumps originating in 1650 allowed for pressure calibration making the current weather unimportant.

Anyway, I think people are vastly underestimating just how far scientists where calibrating things back then. Clock making for example cares deeply about the current temperature.
I've heard tax circumvention is a problem too, which is why I'm in favor of abolishing taxation.

“In 1921, tired of hiring college graduates that didn’t know as much as he did, Thomas Edison made up a giant trivia questionnaire to administer to inbound applicants. According to Mental Floss, questions included “Who invented logarithms?” and “Why is cast iron called Pig Iron?”
...
“To summarize, almost 100 years ago, an aging, eccentric, and incredibly brilliant inventor decided one day that he didn’t like hiring kids that weren’t his equals in knowledge. He devised a scheme off the cuff to indulge his preference and we’re still doing that exact thing about a century later.”

Excerpt From
Developer Hegemony
Erik Dietrich

To answe your question, the “soft skills” questions are no different then riddles. They are an arbitrary set of questions that instead of being defined by technical folks are instead created by HR people. It’s an arbitrary barrier to entry that allows HR to rank candidates.
I have a postgres instance running somewhere that has a history of stuff that I've recorded.

The reason why one might choose not to do this is that a) it takes a bit of work to get syncing across devices, and b) it takes a bit of work to get markdown, images, search, videos etc working.
A friend of mine said his favorite moment in Blazing Saddles was the “beans around the campfire” scene. He’d already seen the movie but this time it was airing on TBS or some other station that edited it for content. It was the same scene but with particular sounds removed. If you remember the scene I’m sure you can guess which sounds. He said the absurdity of it made it funnier than unedited version when you already know what’s happening.
Geo addressed that at the lex fridman podcast 5 months ago, briefly mentioning type checking as one of the reasons. I think he said they're moving to Go or C
Jobs helped enormously, of course, but if Apple was still trying to sell classic MacOS in 2005 I'm not sure even Steve Jobs could have kept them afloat long enough to ship an iPhone.

I've published signed debian packages to PPAs, so I'm well aware.

That's not really how it works in practice in my experience. In some time, some thing you use needs to be patched and the latest version only runs on the newer platform.

Doesn't matter if the underlying platform is supported if the entire ecosystem moved elsewhere.
I think there are better policies than a UBI, but in face the "problem" you are indicating seems more like a benefit than a flaw.

Is cargo known for build problems? I've never used it before now and I took a shot in the dark with `sudo apt install cargo`, then `cargo install broot` went off without a hitch. I just had to add ~/.cargo/bin to PATH and I was good to go. This was in WSL no less.

Is this experience atypical? I've actually been running through the getting started guide for rust-lang as it left a positive impression on me. Something like this in C land seems unachievable.
My personal experience has been that people often don't know the extent of the data recorded and stored by corporations. For instance, someone (young and otherwise smart) simply refused to believe me when I told them that Google maps estimates traffic by tracking the location of every car using Google maps [1]. They thought Google was using live satellites imagery to estimate traffic.

[1] Didn't even mention the part about Google possibly tracking your location even if you don't use maps.
Reminds me of a game called NieR:Automata. You play as an android and the skill/attribute-system is designed as a couple of slots for chips. There were chips for things like the minimap and various other overlays along with general attributes, so if you decided you want to exchange your experience gauge for another chip with more attack speed, you could totally do that.

Among these chips was one called "OS chip" you had from the very beginning. If you'd try to replace that or simply exchange it for another one you "died" instantly and were greeted by the end-credits.
Agreed. Some macros out there are unnecessarily obtuse.

From the rpr article, "This airplane is designed by clowns who in turn are supervised by monkeys" This says a lot about Boeing's internals / culture. Probably their subcontractor interaction quality as well. While we can't take one comment in isolation it is a relevant indicator.

Its telling there were no[?] whistleblowers able to come forward beforehand. Consequences are too real and the search for the guilty talkers likely continues and I don't even think they were even remotely whistleblowers.

Perhaps technical prowess isn't as highly respected as it should be? Too many corners cut? Excessive priority of business over engineering? Timelines too tight? Budgets too small? Misallocations?

Don't know. Lots of symptoms of an unhealthy organization. It will become an interesting case-study regardless.
> Not sure if I'd agree with extreme disadvantage, perhaps slight

I disagree. Without knowledge of C, you're unlikely to have read low-level networking code, for example, which is pretty fundamental to an in-depth understanding of modern software.

I do agree that C can be a pain to read, mostly because of the crazy macros that a lot of production code tends to use.
Ask HN: What computer science concepts should I learn to work with Blockchain?

Swap any two.

This is why two fermions can’t be in the same state: if you swapped them, you’d be back where you started, but that somehow also had to phase shift 180 degrees, and the only complex amplitude that is the same as its own negation is zero.

"Full of himself"? Way too mild an indictment. In the last 24 hours Facebook bought a story in a publication, pretended it wasn’t sponsored, their COO posted it, then when they got caught, they denied knowing anything about it. And what was that ad/story about? Their commitment to stopping disinformation. All the while we've learned that they have utterly sold the company to international electioneers.
Whereabouts were you living, if I can ask?
The question is really testing whether you can tell someone what they want to hear while making it seem like you’re being honest, which is a very useful skill both for internal politics and customer interactions.
Hearing “What’s your biggest weakness?” from an interviewer should be a strong red flag for a candidate that they don’t know what they’re doing.

Not only is it a manipulative question, the response is basically meaningless if the candidate knows the game, because you’ll get back a scripted answer. Those who don’t know the game and answer honestly will only hurt their chances at getting the job.

The only question I think it worse is “what would your former manager say about you?”
Dr. Wozniak began creating the algorithms for our forgetting curve in the 1980's.
His 1986 version of the algorithm, which is not copyrighted, has been in use by popular free software, like Anki.

He continues to refine the algorithms, but they are proprietary to his software (SuperMemo).

I believe spaced-repetition learning is by far the most efficient way to retain and recall information.
I meant some claim CEO pay tied to worker might encourage layoffs.

If you have 10 workers average pay 100k and you last off your lowest paid worker the average goes up, and you're paying less out of pocket.

By having bonuses showing that you're not trying to game the system by laying people off it encourages job growth.

That and the idea of pay cap is to ensure business growth over CEO enrichment. How does it hurt the companies bottom line if the CEO can only earn 10 Mill not 50m? When it gives 40 surplus for new devs or r and d people to grow new products and income opportunities.

What would have been interesting is if Apple had bought Be in 1993 or 1994, and incorporated BeOS tech in System 8, then wound up buying NeXT anyway at the end of 96 and OS X incorporated Be and NeXT tech.

Though it's entirely possible Jobs would have tossed the BeOS tech along with Quickdraw GX, Newton, etc.

That's just not how massive companies work. Sometimes the leaf-level employee knows a secret to improve the entire system in significant ways, but they'll never be heard. Sometimes the root employee (we'll say CEO) catches a earful from any given section of their company they don't like, regardless of how accepted or pervasive it the sentiment is, and that employee could be picked from the tree. It's just how it works in a massive structure. Someone at one end thinks the values and ethic is one way, and the people at the other end have an entirely different understanding.

Fair point. Personally, I learned far more about network programming from Beej's famous guide[1] than any code I dug into. Then again, it's one of those things where you don't know what you don't know. Even so, I think it should be required reading for every programmer!

As someone who has social anxiety and depression I don't think I can be honest with a lot of these questions. My real weakness would be inability to connect with people and constant fear of doing something wrong or being terrible at what I do.

I usually think up some random weaknesses that I consider irrelevant and speak about those just to prove that I can be self aware.

Also I think very big portion what I am saying is bullshit because I don't even particularly remember a lot of the details of the stories that would match those questions. So I have to come up with new stories or think up details for the stories I don't quite remember.

I passed Amazon interview process and all the other behavioral interviews I have ever attended so I must be doing something right despite my constant feeling of terror and anxiety.

I do think that I want to find a completely remote job now, I hate being in the office around people and I feel so much better when I can work from home. However I am afraid this might worsen the issue since I am not putting myself out there. But it doesn't seem to me as if putting myself out there has also helped my anxiety.

Totally agree about Beej's. But which language is Beej's tutorial in? C, of course!

DynaList?
There will be a transfer of energy to the system if there is an interaction, but will only absorb the incident photon at specific energies. In the case of reflection in this classical view, it simply re-emits the energy back out as there are no valid energy transitions. The reality is far more complex and this thread is mixing multiple theories together, wave and particle views and simultaneously comparing single atom mechanics with those of lattices/solids. This is all causing a lot of confusion that's hard to address in comments.
