I'm more optimistic, with Rolls Royce's new ultrafans expected to bring +25% efficiency gains and BA retiring the 747 program there is some hope.

But I agree with you in general. The things that we can clean up we should, with funding from the expansion, policy from gov and properly structured incentives/disincentives.

The question I think becomes one of are we trying to protect the locals, or fighting against the idea of air travel. Unfortunately the latter does not achieve the former in this case.
Ask HN: I'm burnt out Ex-Amazon engineer. What are my options other than DevOps?
Hello,

A little bit of history about myself. Last year, I burnt out due to stress and had a psychotic episode. I was diagnosed with Bipolar I and I had to quit my job at Amazon to focus on myself. I also had a major depression after which lasted for 3 months. Now, I'm relatively in better shape, taking my medication and seeing a therapist.

My problem is that I don't want to do DevOps related work anymore. It was my dream job but now it doesn't interest me. I'm fed up with oncalls and dealing with meaningless configuration files and systems. Something has changed in me.

Due to my condition, I need to do a remote work. I've taken a look at all available remote job websites but all I see is DevOps and programming posts. I tried to hunt for some technical writing (I love writing documentation!) but nothing has turned out. Same for customer support jobs. I think I can do technical support engineering without oncall as I love debugging systems but they're hard to find.

I'd appreciate if you can point some direction. What can I do?

Thanks.

Fuzzing the locations might be useful if it's allowed but if they have to send the data within 5 seconds fuzzing the time won't do much. It's probably also not that hard to correlate the fuzzed start/end points and the full route which would be harder to fuzz effectively.
It kills about 2% of those infected, and about 30% of the population are over 50 so it might kill very roughly 6% of those over 50. Most of those will be the quite elderly and infirm though, most people active in their 50s and 60s should be ok although of course lightning can strike where it will. I'm in the UK but the demographics are pretty similar.

I'm not too worried for myself in my mid 50s, but have real concerns for my wife's parents and my mother.

You can get carbon neutral hydrocarbon based fuels from either direct synthesis or biofuels. Hydrogen is theoretically more efficient, but has significant hurdles.

Interestingly commercial aircraft are surprisingly efficient per passenger mile. Norwegian Air Shuttle is sitting at the top with 104 mpg‑US per passenger, thanks to its fuel-efficient Boeing 787-8, a high 85% passenger load factor and a high density of 1.36 seat/m2 due to a low 9% premium seating. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_economy_in_aircraft And that’s on top of generally being able to take more direct routes than land based transportation.
If you rely on sanitizing before storing, you can end up with data in your database that somehow missed being sanitized, or is maliciously entered in your database.

You must escape the outputs, no matter how hard you try to sanitize the inputs. Losing "control" of any integrated systems means your system is vulnerable, even if only to someone at a terminal typing things into the DB manually.
Only escaping output has one significant disadvantage. Say that you are escaping &. You'll get &amp;. Your user then wants to edit the text. You save the edited text. Now when you escape and output it again, you get &amp;amp;. Rinse and repeat.

By their own admission, they fail to quantify their findings. So, my issue is that they’re sound bites that a lot of people were predisposed to agree with (eg “American healthcare is bad and expensive”) and therefore unlikely to evaluate critically.

People have also argued the opposite: the US is special because we have large natural borders (mostly). Or maybe the US is special because the US has a large Chinese-American population, many of whom travel regularly.

Epidemiology is a science. Why listen to Twitter randos when you have specialists?
It's not "simple", and it's definitely not "the market". It's the market as _you would like it to be_ , for salary-gouging.

I am one of the "evil" business owners you speak of, and there is no way I will pay the exorbitant salary expectations from (mostly) undeserving people. I would much rather outsource and hire people in Ukraine, Russia, etc. Sorry to break your heart, but If I pay $x then I would expect $ x+<delta> value from hiring someone, that's the core of any business.

To use your analogy, if I am trying to rent out a place, and it's basically a tent & a sleeping bag (which in the current job market it is) , I would focus on making it worthy of the asking price or lower my ask.

Ask HN: Team leads, what are the types of people in your team?
I'm reading Team Topologies and it got me thinking about the different types of people in my small team of 4.

Team leads, can you describe the different types of people in your team, and how they contribute to success or failure?

I'm not really looking for tales of how X engineer or admin was lazy and how awful they were. I'm more after why they were lazy/belligerent/outperforming/distant/workaholic/etc and how that personality trait interacted with the rest of the team.

Team leads who have managed more than one team, how have the different types of people been represented in different teams? Have you found that most teams are pretty much alike? Or has each team been very different?

Did you find that new people joining your team were able to settle in quickly and easily, or did some personality types instantly cause friction?

SQL is not Turing complete (if you ignore the WITH RECURSIVE construct), [...]

Morel, on the other hand, crosses that line. This is necessary, because all functional languages are Turing complete, [...]

According to Wikipedia, there is a paradign of total functional programming (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_functional_programming), as described by D.A. Turner (https://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/dat/esfp/fple.pdf) which restricts programs to be non-Turing complete. Wikipedia gives two examples of languages following it: Epigram and Charity.

TL;DR it's possible if you limit the recursive functions to only act on _reduced_ form of input (e.g. strict subset of a set) and if every function is total (produce output for every input).

Cool project BTW.

I wouldn't say 100%, best case economically is somewhere closer to 60% unless you build huge hydropower. With that, 100% is feasible.

That said, do you know what's the highest uptake (in percentage power capacity) of renewables not including hydroelectric nor biofuels in your country?

Here in Poland it is laughably low. Germany is not doing much better either. So "we theoretically could" does not mean we will.
Most of the time when two sided markets gain market power through a dominant position, they still aren't a monopoly. They are an oligopoly employing game theoric positions that are worse than perfect competition but far from a natural monopoly.

For example, even with Amazon there is Target and Walmart selling online and doing much more similar delivery times these days.

The network effect of a two sided market definitely is a barrier to entry, but there is so much capital out there that other large firms or firms with access to insane amounts of capital will also build a 2 sided market and create a network effect. It's why there is Shopify, eBay, Etsy, etc. All more like an oligopoly than a monopoly.

In contrast, true natural monopolies need barriers to entry that are so high that it just doesn't make sense or isn't even possible for another company to do it even if they have insane capital. The electricity grid prior to "deregulation" and the forcing of a more competitive market was a prime example and the grid being governed/run by an independent service operator.

In the US, private industry is broadly empowered to say "No" or "I'll see you in court" to government demands, to a larger degree than many other countries.

The side effect of empowering private industry is that organizations like FEMA and the CDC can't force much, and typically advise or request.

Which doesn't get things done nearly as efficiently when it's a situation where proposed actions are detrimental to one corporation, even if good for the nation.
“I’m not saying this will happen but it could” is a pretty standard fear-mongering hedge.

(I don’t want to call what they’re doing fear mongering either because that suggests bad intent. I don’t think their intentions are bad. I just think we’re paying a lot of attention to a Twitter thread because it’s on top of Hacker News, not because of its own merits as a well-reasoned argument.)

I would keep your expectations low. I’m in NYC working at a public tech company that is explicitly making a big push to become more distributed and remote-friendly and there’s been not a whisper about people switching to work from home.

Explain to me how being appointed by someone makes you any less bias them being elected. Most states have non-partisan elections for Judges, only 18 allow then to run with a political party.

I wondered about that - perhaps the map should be "Oldest business registered with a western institution" or some such. Meaning, being known to westerners makes them more real.
First there is a small safety trial of several months, followed by an efficacy trial of I think six months. We could possibly skip the efficacy trial at the expense of potentially loading up people with multiple not-very-effective vaccines. And getting through safety trials doesn't mean there are no side effects, so we'd have to deal with those compounded as well.

Envoy or similar?
I agree, that's a very odd way of addressing a problem of entry points failure:

* If one is doing it in a cloud and wants to avoid potential issues with the clients behind broken DNS resolvers, then one simply nails the entry point instances to specific IP addresses and in event of an entry point failure, assigns an IP address of a failed instance to a standby instance, resulting in a nearly immediate traffic swap.

* If one is running entry points on physical hardware, then the solution is to bind the entry points to a virtual IP address floating between the instances using VRRP.

* Finally, if one wants to be really super-clever and not drop sessions using controlled fail-over, one does does VRRP + service mac addresses similar to Fastly's faild or Google's MagLev. (But really, this is addressing 99.99999% reliability when in most of business cases 99.9% would do just fine and 99.99% would be amazing ).
so what was the issue?
That simply means, from a “prohibitionist” point of view, that the tax is not high enough.
I for one have never understood (aside from the network effect and lack of choice) why anyone actively chooses to connect through LHR. The taxes on airfare are extortionate just because they can, you have to pay (!) for on-airport hotel shuttle buses, the facilities are dilapidated and designed with, um, British sensibilities, and transferring / security is an ordeal given how cheaply they choose to (under)staff the services.

It is pretty nearly the opposite of a SIN, MUC, or DXB, in my mind.
People have gotten so used to flying they can't see how dependent and entitled they've become. When I share that I'm about to start my fifth year without flying, everyone tells me how impossible it is for them but they never try.

If they tried, they'd realize how much flying is spreading their lives and communities thin, undermining community.

A flight will bring you to a distant loved one. Flying in general disperses communities so you have to fly. Meanwhile we let our communities get covered with litter and garbage dreaming of escape enabled by flying.
DHH is misusing the term “red pill” here. He’s saying he’s accepted an inevitable negative outcome, not that he’s been exposed to a hidden truth. The term he’s looking for is “black pill.”
We should certainly use parameterization always, and this will allow us to save 'Bobby Tables' type input into our databases, but we should acknowledge that there is then the potential risk that some internal, probably non- public-facing program or script, either now or in the future, will contain a bug that leads to its execution.

The spread of natural language processing into systems and analysis tools might increase the scope for this sort of thing.

This seems like it's missing the forrest for the trees. COVID19 is a strain of flu and like all flus, it affects the respiratory system. For this reason, COVID19's mortality rate is 2.8% among men in China, compared to 1.9% among women, which can at least partially be attributed to men smoking at a rate of >50% whereas women smoke at a rate of 2% in China. [1] I think that the thread's focus on the interplay between the healthcare system and the spread of COVID19, which imho is going to be lessened because of fears of the virus making people more likely to go to the hospital. On the other hand, The US overall has fewer smokers[2], which makes the effects of COVID19 less likely to be severe on those who do get it. Most cases are mild[3], so its more important to see where the severe cases will be, rather than cases overall

There is no such thing as "infectious input data".

None of the dictionaries I just checked support such a definition. They are all about "changing something to be more sane/sanitary/pleasant/acceptable/...".

Also, mind you a hand sanitizer doesn't destroy your hand, it destroys microbes, in order to make your hand sanitary, so as to enable you to continue using your hand instead of rejecting/disarding it. Which is exactly the kind of thing you should not ever do with input data.

No, unfortunately, although most likely wasn’t coronavirus. Countries without (known) outbreaks generally aren’t testing all flu patients.
Maybe it is fear mongering, but the points raised are valid issues mainly caused by the American health care system. In Japan where I live, drugs that Americans are used to getting over the counter like Tylenol are prescription and no one thinks twice about going to the doctor for the most minor ailment. Obviously the US is the complete opposite of this. The American health care system does have systemic issues that MAY make the coronovirus worse there. I don't think the author is doing anyone a disservice by pointing that out.
