But what I'm suggesting is that whatever it is, it should be integrated with the browser's, so that when I am typing my password in a special password-input-field (which doesn't exist today), no javascript is allowed to read it's plain text, until the user manually unlocks it and the page is able to read it's H(pw || bFixedPub) or whatever protocol is apropiate.

That special password field, should appear outside the pageview, to prove that the page is not in control of it, or it's not allowed to phish it, only the browser has control, and when it's done, it sends to the page the resulting hash

There’s been some pack of the napkin research on this, and the conclusion is that a cyclist stopping at every intersection and then speeding up to 20mph vs a cyclist that doesn’t stop and just cruises at 20mph burn 500W vs 100W. Unfortunately I can’t find a link right now but based on my own experience I’d say that is spot on. Stopping and resuming at every stop sign or stop light is far more taxing, so much so that many people wouldn’t even be able to do it and maintain a better than walking reasonable pace through a city.
No, I'm not. The frame interpolation is actually pretty good, and approximates high framerate relatively well. It is the high framerate itself which causes this effect, however. I've seen two movies in theater at high framerate that were shot as such (The Hobbit and another I'm forgetting), as well as the ability to watch high framerate content on YouTube, and it is absolutely the high framerate that is jarring in cinematic content.

You don't even have to go "high" up.

The Director of IT at the Telco I worked at didn't know what IPv6 is, didn't know how to setup her own wifi at home, didn't know the difference between WAN and LAN, etc. etc.

Literally had never written a line of code, or built a computer. Was decent at making powerpoint presentations though.
and here I am, at my newly renovate office with gasp open plan. We have some cliché things like table tennis desk, rock climbing space(that no one have a time to climb, of course) and garden plot with fresh vegetable(just for show off at new office opening day), that HR staff told us that employee can plant their own after that(good luck with that) Everything about it screams pretentious and dumb.

What's better, we have a meeting room that decorate like a kitchen, with no door and the wall that is not rise to the ceiling, if you know what I mean. The noise level comes from that 'meeting room' is just unbearable. The worst meeting room design I've seen in my life.

The only thing I can do is put on my trusty noise-cancelling headphones, thanks god for this miraculous technology in this noisy world.
>The ultimate question is what is allowing these bigger businesses to operate more efficiently than a small business?

I would think technology allowing businesses to scale with extremely low, near zero, marginal costs would be the big reason. That's why the per employee net income figures are so high for the leading tech companies, they can do so much with so little. I predict lots of vertical monopolies in the future.
If you have an office environment you should NEVER have an open office policy. The extroverts who like interaction/interruptions won't be in their office in the first place, while those who hate it need their door closed.

I hope this isn't a poor man's control for ITAR purposes.

>>>But the ITAR generally allows U.S. Persons to have access to ITAR controlled data, and defines a (natural) "U.S. Person" as "a lawful permanent resident as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(20)" or "a protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)." See 22 C.F.R. 120.15. Thus the ITAR does not restrict access to U.S. citizens only, but also generally allows access by non-U.S. citizens who fall within the following classes, among others:

Nationals of the U.S. (i.e., those born in the "outlaying" possessions of the U.S. meeting specified requirements, or individuals born of a parent who meet specified requirements);
Aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence (i.e., "green card" holders);
Certain refugees; and
Certain asylum seekers.

He used GCP, setup a pubsub topic and a cloud function. It took less than an hour to setup, the rest of the time was rewriting a portion of the code to write to the queue, etc.

This is the crazy part to me. You have private insurance, but the quality of the insurance is so piss poor that one wonders what the point of it is in the first place. Nothing seems to ever be fully covered under it.

I've worked im automotive in similar fields, even more advanced, and Tesla is not an outlier, probably even better than the rest. Tesla has a huge advantage in its flat modern management structure. They are at least 10x faster and cheaper than the rest. The results are visible to everyone. Bad midmgmt apples are everywhere, esp. in those kind of industries.
Meetings, sales, email and other types of interactions are more taxing.

It is not necessary but the situation that the government sits at is tricky. Intervention like sending out fire trucks or giving health care is usually paid upfront by the government, as is social support aid in the case the homeowner become homeless. If neither the contractor nor the homeowner can pay it will be up to the government to foot the bill.

In theory, if insurance companies would give out public indemnity insurance to unlicensed contractors then it would lower the risk for the government, assuming the coverage is broad enough. It also assumes that the cost of getting such public indemnity insurance is lower than getting a license, or contractors would just get the license instead.
The fakeness probably comes from the fact that it's 60fps. People are not used to 60fps movies, which is why movies today are still shot at 24fps, even when it's no longer a technical limitation. We watch so many movies at 24fps that our eyes associate 60fps with "fake" and "non-a-movie".
But parsing ls (with no arguments) is just stupid when there is a safe alternative that already exists and is shorter.

Their Standard for basic care is much higher though. You can’t compare that.

Then healthcare shouldn’t be a business because the natural result of refusing to provide it to those in need is injury and possibly death. That seems a greater and more imminent threat that people in the US face than most forms of state violence.
I'm working on a live dashboard for our school Baja SAE team. They design and build an off-road buggy and it'll have a bunch of sensors on it.

> medicare for all will be a republican position too. They will call it something else

There was a survey that went around a few years, asking Republican voters something along the lines of:

"Would you vote for an Affordable Care Act if it was offered as an alternative to Obamacare?"

A significant amount said "Yes".
Complete speculation: They make their money by assessing back-links. So they crawl as many websites as possible, as often as possible, to establish some kind of view of who is linking to what. From that, they extrapolate some kind of popularity score, which they can probably correlate with keywords and types of users and searches.

That is what they sell back to users, presumably. I am actually quite interested to see how clear their data / recommendations would be, but haven't had the time to do so yet.
He’s finally bringing his bee medicine to market this year. In this video he says he has patents in the US, Eurasia, and several other countries, and he’s giving it away to the rest of the world. Pretty cool.

I think so too. The main thing is that it might even lower how much money is paid for that healthcare system in total.

Do any automobile manufacturers actually use formal verification? How do you even apply such techniques to things that leverage ML like Tesla’s autonomous driver?
Many of them? 1/3 of Fortune 500 CEOs majored in engineering. For decades, the CEO of Intel was a process engineer. The current CEO of AMD is also a process engineer. You bet they know the details of their chip design and manufacturing process. Ginny Rometty, CEO of IBM for more than a decade, had a degree in computer science and electrical engineering. The current Boeing CEO is an aerospace engineer. They’ve not necessarily been amazing leaders, but I bet they know what language Watson/Boeing’s control code is written in.
As a casual cyclist commuter, I can coast probably 100 meters after stopping pedaling. It's not the slowing that is hard though, it's the anxiety of needing to exert a lot of effort to get back up to speed. From that angle, I'd posit that cyclists may be doing this out of laziness, while scooter riders don't have that same mental/physical cost to fear when they stop.

That said, I don't run lights, and am just as baffled how some cyclists will barrel through a red light at intersections without even slowing down...
The only other high profile CEO who knew his product technically inside out was Honda, no one else. Huge respect for Elon.

I always see this argument and it's like everyone's forgotten that AP isn't the only automatic safety system.

My Volt had the same exact hardware as AP1 (from Mobileye). GM decided not to play games with marketing, and had it only intervene in cases of immediate danger.

For example, you could try and get it to follow lanes, but it's guidance would be directly proportional to your steering input, and it would intentionally stop intervening the moment you were back in your lane, eventually disengaging if you weren't trying to correct at all.

-

At night in pouring rain coming around a tight highway turn, my car stopped for an overturned box truck covering 2 of 3 lanes and allowed me to go around it. It saved my life with very little fanfare.

AP didn't have to be called AP. AP didn't have to be something you can let take over (except jk don't let it take over or we'll victim blame you when it kills you).

AP could provide traffic-aware cruise control, could take over when you drift out of your lane, swerve away from imminent crashes, and you would still have been saved from that T-bone, and Walter Huang would still be alive today.

But then Tesla couldn't charge extra for Advanced AP, then extra on top of that for FSD.

> It is all about efficient use of real estate.

In many cases the Federal tax code can also be the driver of these decisions because the amortization on building upgrades is way longer than cubicles. However, tables over cubicles is likely something else. To me, it's just cheap, like how call centers used to be (even they have cubicles now).
Something that many HNers will probably be embarrased to admit being surprised by is how higher education attainment rates for immigrants don't exclude African immigrants. In fact, black immigrants from Africa and the West Indies have among the highest degree attainment rate of any group. This belies the lower college-and-advanced-degree attainment rate for black Americans as a whole.

All of this seems to suggest that there is something about the American education system - and perhaps our overal culture - that is failing our children, and our black children in particular.

This also makes me wonder if there's data about the mobility of native vs immigrant blacks. If it's similar, it would align with other data that show that degree attainment only serves to partially overcome the barriers to upward mobility placed in the way of black workers.

I'm of the opinion that many of the impediments that punish or withhold assistance from minorities often bleed over into mainstream American life. The specific drum I'll keep beating is that if, perhaps, the infrastructure to battle the crack/cocaine epidemic as a public health issue had been allowed to be built to a robust state, the opioid epidemic would not have become so dire. The apathy towards these issues, even as they encroach upon "mainstream" middle class life, must be part of the mechanics of the calcification of class in America.

I always struggled with this. Give me a list of things to memorize and a rigid test - and I'll struggle.

Put me in a real environment with access to documentation, actual team members, and time to learn and understand a system? That's where I actually shine.

Something I kinda like the idea of for a "code interview" would be a "reverse interview". E.g. give them some sample code (likely from production) and ask them to critique it and review it.

I'm no expert in SQL - but I can still spot an injection vector. If I need to use SQL regularly then I'll learn it as needed, etc.
Does that method of triggering downloads fit into your framework for thinking about SEO?

Also: SEO is kind of a bad word. I'm sure most practitioners are on the up-and-up, but SEO certainly shades off into bottom feeders doing blog-spamming on old/unmaintained WordPress installations, and probably worse. This needs to be addressed, you can't just shrug your shoulders and say "that's on them". What keeps an upstanding SEO person from joining the dark side?
Hey now, who are we to judge the mating habits of rocks?
There is also an increasing issue in Canada of minor operations being delayed to the point where major surgical intervention is eventually needed.

With the medical system over-burdened, the system is now fundamentally reactionary in many specialties; delaying anything that can possibly be delayed.

It's saving a penny today to pay a dollar (or a loonie, I should say) tomorrow. It's economically burdensome and, obviously, creates a great deal of unnecessary hardship for those in line.

Nearly every Canadian has anecdotal stories of elderly relatively who had a minor ailment that needed surgery - were delayed for months because they were
low priority - and then needed a larger intervention as the problem compounded over said months.

Where does this show up in the data? How do you measure and value up to a year - which can be more than 10% of an elderly persons remaining life - being mired in uncertainty, discomfort, and pain waiting for a procedure? How do you measure medical efficiency and patient outcomes in this context?

The best way to describe the current system is that doctors (surgeons, in particular) are forced not to look out for the individual patient's best interest, but the best interest of their entire surgical waiting list in aggregate (and this can be dozens of names long).

So, yes, it is in the best interest of Patient X to have the minor operation done this week as there is a strong likelihood of further complications and a worse patient outcome if delayed. However, Patient Y needs a major surgery this week so Patient Y, rationally, gets the higher priority.

I don't think that health care (or the things you mention) should be treated as a market. I was only responding to the claim that this is a "cartel market" and not basic market behavior.
Canada's system is deeply imperfect (it falls short of France in most measures), and arguably underfunded, however such a finite limitation in resources is a reality in every country and every system. Such anecdotes about a condition being misdiagnosed exist everywhere.

The US is certainly not immune from this reality.
Vectorization-Aware Loop Unrolling with Seed Forwarding [pdf]
To give a real-world example of why this is problematic: my wife recently had surgery, and they had a follow-up a month later to remove a stent. Even though she was insured, a slew of wholly unintelligible bills from various departments at the hospital followed. When she showed up to have her stent removed, the director of the hospital's billing department told her that all past bills must be payed before they are able to remove the stent: this was a blatant lie, and the doctor overrode the decision in about 30min. Now after speaking with the nurses about this, one reveals that the collections department has a whiteboard game going on in the office where they write up their names and have an ongoing competition over who can extract the most money from patients. The hospital and its services are under no obligation to provide accurate pricing until ipso facto, and the pricing can often be changed because it doesn't stand up when placed under scrutiny. Does anyone believe a system like this is capable of producing an accurate "score"?
> mistakes can easily cost lives. I want to be able to sleep at night.

Everyone who works in the safety field has to deal with this. How do you think the MCAS engineers feel?

But let's rewrite history, and say Boeing decided to scrap MCAS before it ever shipped on a 737 MAX. Now let's say a MAX crashes from stalling on takeoff - the exact scenario MCAS was meant to prevent. How would those engineers feel? How would we be looking at Boeing if we knew there was work done on a prevention device, and the higher-ups decided to scrap it before it was completed?

No one engineer or manager is responsible for a tragedy. Organizations, sure, but no organization can be perfect. You can only try to use whatever power you have to guide it towards better practices and regulations.
captured a bunch of "domain knowledge" of which only 20-30% is relevant to your business.

let me guess, they did not captured/predicted the domain knowledge required to run the following business huh:
- search engine (google)
- marketplace for arranging or offering lodging ( airbnb )
- ride sharing ( uber )
- social networks (twitter/facebook)

if all businesses does everything the same way (because some german company thinks it is), all end-products will look all the same. The same way if all chefs is following the same recipe.

IMHO the tools/choices to send invoice, manage orders, product lifecycle can also be a differentiator for your business.
We can argue about adjective choice, but a 12% revenue drop in any industry is going to get people's attention.

The environment in which that 32% drop happened involved thousands of companies failing within a short time span. I personally ended up leaving the Bay Area after being out of work for over a year. (I came back.) Just to offer some context to hang those numbers on.
