I think the attitude you approach this company with highlights one of the major causes of the unjustifiably high medical costs in the US. Many of your critiques are based on status quo expectations that are, for the most part, non-issues.

Yes, these devices are of a lower quality than devices with prices 10-100x higher, but they get the job done, which is what actually matters. Some new practices will have to be designed to properly decontam and maintenance them, and experimentation to figure out their tolerances, but there are many more medical practices in the world that need these devices than have them; the main issue is cost.

Isn't it 31 or 32 commands in the queue? That's a worst-case of around a quarter second for a 7200rpm drive, which sounds like an awfully long time horizon to me.

Yep, fair, "axes" / "dimensions" was overstating - they're not all actually all orthogonal (all models are wrong, some useful, etc.). Mature engineering discussions have plenty of examples of those tensions, e.g. is it more important for this system to be available or consistent?

Another AI person here (Stanford PhD student). I concur the philosophical stuff is mostly annoying for me -- for me it comes off as random self-satisfied pseudo-intellectual self-indulgence that makes for nice clickbaity-youtube clips but does not make for actually good conversations. The list of guests is great, but i'd prefer the conversations to me more humble and less wannabe insightful.
Seems like a dramatic announcement if this was just a big downsizing. Seems more like a shut down with a few hail Mary moves to try to turn it into a big downsizing.

> In my opinion, this does more to keep Google in check than had they gone with Firefox's engine, or stuck with their own

We'll see. Microsoft gave up developing its own browser because it found it too hard to keep pace. So the question is what happens when Google goes in a direction Microsoft doesn't like with Chromium?

Do they just adopt the changes as they are because they don't want to bother developing their very own browser once again, or will they create a hard fork of Chromium that they are willing to maintain independent of Google?

I'm pretty skeptical it will be the latter, but I'd like to be proven wrong.
Open up your computer, pull out the bmc, throw it in the garbage. If you are reliant on these things then you are still in a pet-computer world and you’ll benefit greatly by moving to the cattle model. This article has a section on why you need a bmc but doesn’t succeed in advocating for it. It’s another computer inside your main computer with its own set of flaws, bugs, and costs.

I took a RyanAir flight a few months back, and while there were many things to justify their reputation for being super-budget, one thing I did like was that they did boarding from both sides of the plane - They had a ramp at the rear exit as well as the front. It was one of the most convenient deplaning experiences I've had.
I don't see why they shouldn't fund more CS and STEM spots and universities in general. They will probably see a good return on investment. AFAIK higher education is subsidized in other countries but I'm not super knowledgeable about that.

On second thought maybe it would make sense to only subsidize the residency programs that are financially unsustainable but necessary, like family medicine or non-subspecialty internal medicine. Downside to this could be that hospitals could choose to not have residents and exacerbate the physician shortage.

It is appalling to me that anyone with the caliber of ability this person has, clear from her writing, ever became homeless in the first place (not that I'm saying anyone deserves to be homeless).

I do have a few questions though:

>The other reason this website does not list homeless services is because I became increasingly concerned about creating a website that could serve as an attractive nuisance. In other words, I didn't want to cause problems for a particular area by advertising all the free meal sites and the like in that area and potentially having homeless people from elsewhere flock to that area and overwhelm their services.

1) How common was this attitude among your fellow homeless?
My experience is that people in American cities rarely feel a sense of "ownership" for keeping things nice around them, much less homeless people who are probably focused on survival.

2) Have you been accused of "pulling the ladder up behind you" for not sharing whatever info you had, and how would you respond to that?
In addition to other answers in this thread: It's a form of cultural bubble.

A lot of 20th Century pop culture was driven by or at least responded to advertising. When advertising has to hit the broadest demographics and speak to the largest audiences it has more pressure to be creative and interesting, so that people talk or think about it.

It also lead to interesting moments of discovery when ads found audiences outside of what they expected.

Targeted ads are more often preaching to an already sold choir, so they can just be lazier in almost every way. They break expectations of novelty in ads. They lose the ability to drive the discovery models that were the original driving force behind why ads even exist in the first place. They add yet another unnecessary border wall/bubble effect where we struggle to find shared cultural events/jokes/touchstones between groups of people, because just about no two people (even inside the same demographic group) are seeing the same ads these days.
Are you sure Chromium builds fast? lol, it takes my laptop with 12 cores and 64gb of ram over an hour to compile from scratch, not counting the ~20gb of git history to download (I maintain an internal build at work).
Not necessarily a bad thing, see my other comment about how ridiculously bad exterior visibility is becoming. It seems that each new model year brings higher beltlines, less glass... and more distracting "safety" gadgets that only sort of work.

Few drivers use their mirrors, and even fewer adjust them properly, so they might as well be next on the chopping block.
Have you found any real value to instructing in-service SSDs to run SMART self-tests, vs simply observing and tracking the SMART indicators over time?
I listened to the ATC tapes on LiveATC (and now can be found compiled by VASAviation on YouTube).

When DL98 first declare an emergency, Socal asks the crew if they need to dump fuel and they indicate they do not, but end up doing it anyway, even at low altitudes. Something happened along the way that made them decide to dump fuel and try to get under max landing weight, but when you're single engine, you want to get down on a runway ASAP as you don't know that the problem affecting one engine won't happen to the other.

I am not a 777 driver, but an overweight landing is always an option - in fact, required when you're single-engine. Checklists for engine out say "land at nearest suitable airport." Holding and dumping/burning fuel is, in my limited knowledge, reserved for instances where there is a fault that prevents forward progress but does not necessitate an emergency landing.

Can't think of any examples off the top of my head right now though.
That's a good point. The landing page does keep track of where people are visiting from, but doesn't use any kind of user identification to do so.

It provides a count of how many views come from various sources, but uses nothing that can be traced back to you.

Regarding the topic of browser mono-cultures, I was web developer in the post browser war era in the early 2000s where we had a dominant IE6 and a stagnant browser landscape.

It was bad.

Real bad.

But I'm actually fairly positive about MS getting into the chromium landscape and back into the game. Let's face it MS had lost all of its influence in the browser world before dropping IE and making this move. It is a Google/Chrome dominated world at the moment. But by adopting Chromium, MS can "catch up" on a technical level and also wield significant power inside the Chromium project itself. They have money and they have an experienced browser engine engineering team. They will be able to provide some balance to Google in this ecosystem. If push came to shove, forking chromium wouldn't be an idle threat from MS. They will have some power.

On a technical level it looks like a move towards a mono-culture, but politically it looks like a chance at more balance and diversity to me.
Yes, please. I was confused when I first read this - I thought "why would I want to use a tool based on outdated syntax?". Maybe "PEP 316-inspired syntax"?
Yeah, well. Maybe, maybe not. Quoted from a previous discussion:

> I was cycling in Japan for about 2 weeks, just a few weeks ago. I was also impressed in most places by how clean it was, not only in the cities, but more generally speaking about everywhere.

> At some point though, I was cycling along the coast of Mie then Wakayama prefectures, and although the scenery and roads were clean, I had a glance just behind the ramp walk, and realized that behind the trees, in the bush next to the road were hundreds of garbage bags, litter of all sort, really anything, just lying below. There was such a contrast from what my eyes were seeing until, I was shocked.

> In another town several kilometres after (I forgot which place exactly, must have been while cycling up towards Wakayama city), I passed next to a big commercial area on my right. On my left there was a small patch of forest then the sea and again, that forest contained many many plastic bags, full but neatly tied up, every couple of meters or so, for several hundreds of meters.

> I originally thought the first thrashes I saw along the road in the country side where "mistakes", like things flying off the window or pushed by the wind from another place (although there was a lot of garbage anyway). But when I saw these tied up plastic bags, they weren't there by chance, really people throw these bags away on the forest right here. That made me a bit sad, especially since it broke the original image I got.

> (And I haven't spoke about the beaches and seafront all along that peninsula; I wouldn't walk bare foot there).

Little-known tip: in the US, if you happen to find a lost wallet that contains an ID, you can just drop it in the nearest postbox and the USPS has the duty to attempt to return it to its rightful owner. Here's the relevant page of the postal code: https://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/507.htm
There are plenty of mischievous things an attacker could do if you just verify each chunk separately, including reordering or omitting chunks, and truncating the file.
I don't understand why boarding first is desirable, except for scarcity of overhead luggage space (heightened by checked bag fees and growing rollaboard bags) and those few first class folks getting a free drink while they wait.

Fix the storage issue and I'd want to board last - don't extend my time in those seats!
"Advertising doesn't work on me" is a lie that nearly everyone tells themselves. Advertisers love this.

Ads rarely makes anyone rush out to go buy x out of the blue, but if someone is choosing between x product and y product, they're much more likely to pick x if has been advertised to them before. The substance of the ad is almost irrelevant; just because they've heard the name of x repeatedly before, they're much more likely to choose it.
Exactly. Developers are going to submit apps to Google regardless of how bad the process is, so there’s no real incentive to improve the experience.

This was using my phone and (I think) my laptop.

The specific about it are that I was trying to watch content on a broadcast channel. It was probably a local sports game. But, I was in a different city with a different affiliate. So, the geographic region does actually play into the licensing for these channels. I could otherwise watch whatever (and the local affiliate for the city I was in), but regardless of what my IP address was, I couldn’t watch the affiliate for my city.

It makes sense, but I’m not sure I was expecting the TV provider to be that detailed.

The physicians that I know talk about this a lot. From what I gather, part of the problem is that medical school is really expensive, so they take these really massive loans to get through school, which is generally on top of their debt from their bachelors and masters. Then, many of them discover that they're not in love with the field as much as they originally thought. The problem is that it's very difficult to back out at this point; they're hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt and dropping out leaves many of them with a degree that will not allow them to pay this debt down. As such, they power through. Then, they enter a profession were the hours are truly and utterly terrible. People don't get sick on a 9-5 schedule and unless you're working in something like dermatology, you're going to work nights and you're probably going to work shifts that range from 14-24 hours even as an attending. Yes, this depends on specialty, but hospitalists, emergency medicine, any surgical specialty, and most people doing procedures will end up with long night shifts at least a few times a month. And, this must be done for several years even after residency in order to clear the debt even if you just want to quit the profession entirely. Every physician I know of talks about an exit plan as soon as they enter the profession, which is generally not a good sign. Though, probably a smart one.

Now, does this differ from any other profession where we take on debt to get a degree in a profession that we don't like just to work that profession to pay off the loan? For the most part, no. I think the distinguishing feature for physicians is the debt is higher and it takes more years to get into a position to pay off that debt, so the exit point is farther away. I do think physician hours suck far more than most professions. I also think the profession is far more abusive than most white collar professions, but that's debatable.
I kinda wish they'd speculated on a cause and effect chain here, but then we'd have a different group of readers upset.

I might also like to see results with other kinds of fats, to know if it's something about milkfat in particular.

There was a theory a while back that the lipid size in homogenized milk might be problematic for the human digestive and circulatory system, causing them to get into places they shouldn't.

If that were true, I suppose you could explain these results by showing a link between early cardiovascular disease (CVD) and shortening of telomeres. But it looks like we have a bunch of studies showing shorter telomeres leads to CVD, not vice versa (although we've gotten cause and effect backward before so who knows at this point).
It's all anecdotal and so far I don't think anyone has actually found phones etc exporting conversation keywords or anything like that. That being said it's happened a few times that I've been in the car with my girlfriend talking about something, won't search anything about it and we'll get ads about it in the next couple days... The one time that stood out was talking about babies and getting ads about childcare, baby products, etc way more over the next couple days.

Thank you for your feedback.

An implementation for Svelte is already planned, but thank you for the recommendation. I'll move the codebase of the Angular implementation into a seperate project soon which will make integrations for other JS frameworks pretty easy.

Your project looks very interesting and I'll definitely take a look into it.

The support for graph data is still in consideration. Offline/Local first support is planned and will definitely be a feature in the future.

Big thanks for the recommendations.
Thanks for all the comments so far. I know Coda isn't designed as a blogging platform but I liked being able to directly connect the interactive charts. It's better on desktop than mobile. That said, I did spend quite a while copying it over and reformatting it for Medium this afternoon - there's a link right at the top - just in case people didn't want to deal with Coda!

I would have liked to make the charts a bit clearer but the customisation in Coda is quite limited. Nobody I showed it before posting it on HN had any complaints. I can add some more context to the bits that aren't clear.

As for how long I spend tracking my time... not too long really? I've been tinkering with my document here and there as I go, and now generally I just switch to the right project and hit "Start activity", pressing "Save" when I finish. I've been using Coda rather than bootstrapping (yet another) private time tracking web server because it provides a different sort of agility to what I'd get if I was programming everything myself.
On the other hand a manufacturer capable of designing and producing SHA-256 chips could be also capable of designing and manufacturing $other_commonly_used_hash_algo chips allowing for brute-forcing $other_commonly_used_hash_algo encoded passwords. The same manufacturer/design team could also probably prepare $popular_block_cipher chips. So, while BTC miner chips would not be useful themselves, having an industry capable of creating those chips is.
Given what I've seen and also have personally experienced with postal employees, I wouldn't place much trust in it, for example:

Because Microsoft is also collecting data from the OS level as well if you're using Windows. It's easy to keep sensitive data out of Gmail. It's hard to keep it of your computer entirely.
You can do this once without any other company batting an eye. If you keep doing this several times in a row then it could be a red flag to hiring managers. I wouldn't worry about it, just put in your 2 weeks and use it as a learning experience.
I'm guessing this is because the airlines feel it's easier to enforce boarding procedures than deplaning. hardly anyone is going to charge the gate to board out of order, but once the plane has arrived at it's destination, people want to stand up and get off as soon as they get a chance.
It's that same quote translated by Google instead of by a human.

To be clear, this measures the issue global leaders think is biggest, not necessarily what issue is actually biggest.

This is probably mostly a proxy for "climate threats are the most top of mind issue for global leaders" due to the recent rise in coverage.
I'm gonna play devil's advocate here and point out that apparently this is the kind of place where people can in fact fall asleep during work hours, even during calls. That opens up a lot of possibilities. How about doing the bare minimum and working on bettering your skills on your own? Or even do some side hustle?
Business model is different but the situation from the consumer and developper point of view is the same.

There was a good interview in the vergecast with a lawyer preparing the case against Apple. The answer to “is it a different case for console ?” was more in the vain of “let’s do this case first”.
> They don’t have a stranglehold over vendors.

They flat out don't allow bloatware from the vendors on their devices. Android doesn't have that kind of pull, and Verizon won't push updates for my phone until they have tested all their bloatware crap that I can't uninstall.

Additionally, Apple has had many other 'requirements' from vendors to keep selling their phone, things like visual voicemail support, allowing them to use iMessage in place of texting (really goes with the part above), requiring ipv6 support, etc.

Given that they're killing people, with zero accountability, would you prefer technology to help them do so more accurately, or not? Would you prefer less civilians as collateral damage, or more?

Yes, I know, you'd prefer that they stop killing people. To do that, you have to either 1) persuade a large number of people to stop trying to kill Americans, 2) persuade America to get out of the Middle East and just let things happen over there however they're going to happen, or 3) persuade the powers that be that, even if we stay in the Middle East, killing people that want to kill us is not the most effective route to peace.

And those are fine goals. But until you achieve one of those three, it isn't amiss that, when we're trying to kill someone, we do the best we can to actually kill one of the people that's trying to kill some of us, and not some random other person.
Yeah, you may as well list it and if asked respond honestly. It wasn't a good fit/the role didn't match the job description, etc.
