"Does that imply that command economies are actually more efficient than market ones?"

I think it's probably similar to politics. A well-run dictatorship can do better than a democracy but usually dictatorships deteriorate after a while.

Pretty much my point (I lived in Germany some years ago, although born and lived most of my life in the US).
People have valid criticisms of Linus's delivery, but the content is often good. I tend to remember some of the technical arguments in those rants years after the fact, and cite them.

Keep in mind he did create the Linux kernel and git, so even if he delivers them inexpertly, even on a bad day, he has some technical insight.

All that said: I agree there is some gender bias showing up on this thread.
Yes, and the business model is a choice.
If you started working at Google, Amazon, or especially, Facebook (a bit more of a stretch) in 2008, you would be pretty happy right now.
AWS could really use a dashboard where you can pick the components you want to see and only those show up. If I only use S3 and EC2 I shouldn’t have to search for those two products every time I log in.
Than most people who comment about gender issues on the internet. I find that once you have a few bits of information, you can nearly always predict where someone is going to come down on such matters. It's not common to run into someone who's less predictable that way.
I’m going through App certification right now and while it’s a pain sometimes, man, you really need to be in the box. It’s actually kind of amazing how much attention each app gets.
Yup, after I read this comment I dug into it out of curiosity. If I had to guess, like I mentioned on the issue, it seemed like it was probably sent as a way to purge previous analytic data.
You need to trust that not too many of them will have that happen at the same time.

Very small airline. They have 29 planes that can hold 74 people. American airlines (including regional partnerships has 1700).
And I suspect that CRISPR and other tools will be far harder to use than expected by many, especially laymen.

Simply due to the combinatorics involved when exchanging sequences in DNA, for example introduced by resulting new epigenetic dynamics.
REST constrains your architecture in ways that RPC doesn't. Of course you can use HTTP without using REST, but then you're paying a lot of the costs of REST without getting its benefits, and a simpler RPC protocol might be better.

The way I was looking at it... technically by owning a stock you're exposed to the risk of the entire corporate legal structure (e.g. board, bylaws) as well as operational structure.

Compared to a bond, even one with esoteric clauses, that seems more complicated.
If anything, I think JPL is probably better than the rest of the aerospace industry in this regard. I think JPL actively tries to shield its technical people from some of the ugly politics playing out behind the scenes. In retrospect, I was definitely shielded from a lot of it for much of my career, particularly early on. That's a big reason my career was able to advance despite being so naive for so long. I think if I had been at Boeing I would have gone down in screaming flames much sooner.

But you also have to keep in mind that this was all a very long time ago. I'm offering my testimony here not so much to inform current events as to vouch for the plausibility of what V_Terranova_Jr said in the root comment of this thread.
Literature recommendations on good sleep hygiene, including no screens 1 hour before bed to sleep meditation would be helpful.
> I disagree partly here based on personal experience with BJJ.

My experience includes BJJ! :)

Of note I've been keto adapted for years, so I am likely an edge case.

That HR recording I linked to is of a kickboxing endurance bag workout (Bas Rutten's routine if you are at all familiar with it), nothing but explosive power against a bag, every punch 100%.

Now at the end of it, can I lift as heavy? No, carb load and I'm adding an extra few pounds to the bars, but it isn't a huge difference.

> I'd love to hear your feedback on this, like, what your protein intake is vs. fats.

I stopped tracking years ago. Probably should start tracking again just to lose some extra lbs. :) Outside of weight loss I do keto just because of the insane energy levels.

The kicker about BJJ is that after class, these guys who are much stronger than me are winded and I'm walking around upset no one wants to keep training. Everyone is doing crap like sitting down and resting!
Well the example given is decoding JSON. If that is happening in a long loop, you can yield once per loop and be safe. Not all problems are neatly broken apart like that, but in those cases how much of a chance does the server have to not timeout regardless, you know?

Note that once per loop might be too often, but you can just measure how long a loop run typically takes and compare to how soon you want to preempt the task, then yield at the right interval.
I am aware but nonetheless actively choosing this approach for myself.

I am rather bound to Apple's ecosystem, with no notable/relevant restrictions that I care about so far, than handing over all of my data to an ad company running and adtech OS on mobile phones with 500 sensors in them.
Odds of success can be fairly valued in an equity offer despite success odds being low (the expected value of highly speculative equity, vesting on a schedule, equals a certain amount of cash per year.)

The conventional wisdom is to just take cash because that comes out ahead most of the time and you have to personally fully value the money from a successful exit to make a salary plus equity offer be worth it to you. But the math on early startup offers certainly can be and sometimes is fair.

Certainly agree that the business culture of the sturdy, monied middle class should be preserved.
The problem with the MCAS is that turning it off makes the plane illegal to fly. The MCAS is just a compliance trick. If the pilots had a choice they would just retrain to fly the new plane without MCAS but they aren't allowed to do that.
How about you stop with the nationalism?

People in China are actual human beings, not part of a hive mind. They react to individual incentives.
>The shocking part to me is that Israel truly thought they could make the deal work without providing something that could be vetted.

Not shocking at all imo. The Israelis have shown an extraordinary amount of chutzpah over the decades in their dealings with the US. They are of the belief the US is the real benefactor in this "special relationship".

>But US doesn't provide source code too

The US is effectively paying for the development of Iron Dome [1]. Requesting source code is completely warranted, in fact I would go further and demand the source code if Israel wants the US to continue funding the program

(Like anything from Jacques Pepin, this is super useful).
I think the thrust of the comment above was that this is not a class of behavior restricted to China or to communist states.

Microsoft was secretly wasting electricity to avoid fines -- gaming an economic system designed to encourage efficiency under bureaucrat-designed rules that make sense within market capitalism, and Chinese companies are secretly wasting electricity to avoid a loss in confidence, ie. business, under the direction of bureaucrats -- gaming a larger economic system designed for efficiency, but here specifically for efficiency of labor to product spend, versus efficiency of product sale.

Curiously, the need to maintain this appearance of productivity is only likely for the sake of capitalist clients who buy the services -- c.f. the classic entrepreneurial slogan, "fake it till you make it!"

Some people are saying in response to this, "only under communism", and in the specifics of who and how and why they may be correct, but waste to satisfy bureaucratic systems is not unique to any economic or social system. People are going to juke the stats under every regime, at all scales, under all circumstances.
I believe they care and they know it gives them a competitive advantage.

To be fair, the lawyers who are below average often end up in other places rather than representing clients in court.

It used to be people would talk about the hellish conditions doing hourly document review, but that got offshored years ago, so I'm not sure what the situation is now.
It says right there in the article that bandwidth is charged for separately. So you just buy a line of appropriate size, based on actual usage measurements.
And each one of these rigs only needs a gigabit connection to upload/download its full capacity each month, which means the network equipment costs can be minimal.
Searching for the optimal small network is just as much work as training a larger network. There's no free lunch.

I like your intentions here, but sleep is one of those things that I don't think an employer is really going to make much of an impact on. The biggest thing you could probably do is push for later morning start times and more remote work so employees can sleep in longer. Getting people to bed at more reasonable times and eschewing quality of sleep impactors (blue light, eating late, noise, etc.) often comes down to lifestyle choices and living conditions pretty far outside work.
First of all, great work, and thank you for sharing.

The lesson plan sent from school seems like a huge time suck for parents. The teachers seem to be going above and beyond.

i am living this right now in china. everything is closed and i had to send the younger kids to the grandparents so i can help my oldest get through his school curriculum. and i am not getting any time for work. luckily my sons teachers are great too and they support where they can, but life is pretty much on hold and in survival mode.
Am I understanding this right? Surely, I must be missing the entire point because...

This looks like to me, adding more and more bullshit to a model while managing to increase its accuracy, eventually leads to a "smaller" model with less bullshit?

That is to say, adding correlated or endogenous variables to a model (over-parameterization), so long as it increases its accuracy, will one day yield, a smaller, more optimized, model with less variables?

If so; why is this news? Isn't this like the fundamental process of most statistics and optimization problems? Or like isn't adding more data (when available) a fundamental method of solving/fixing with multicolinearity?

This is why I think the concerns over mass spread of Coronavirus everywhere over the next few months are well-founded. People who don't even know they're sick can spread the disease to dozens of others and all it takes is population density, proximity, and lax hygiene standards.
Apple's default search engine is Google - they sold it to the highest bidder, a company that absorbs your private info.

And Safari stops Google and other 3rd-party ad providers from tracking you all over the web.
I hate to point out the obvious, but you can't say anything meaningful about the effectiveness of lawyers without separating their clients into the ones that were guilty and the ones that weren't. It's very probably a wrong assumption that public and private lawyers have the same percentage split. And if the system actually worked, then a good lawyer shouldn't affect the conviction rate of the guilty...
So you’re saying that:

A) Google could choose to start a business selling high margin hardware so it wouldn’t need to sell targeted ads?

B) Apple could choose not to sell in the world’s most populous country? How would the shareholders or board feel about that?
Just wanted to see if HN had any recommendations. Is it known to be good?
The routine to prepare for a sprint demo shouldn't take more than an hour or 2, involving some of the people on the team. I usually make an outline first, which corresponds to the slides and points on the slides. Then I gather people who can represent each part that we need to demo, in order to fill in the slides, and run through the demo itself. We do a dry run. The slides ensure all topics are covered. Anything missed in the demo can be communicated by email and covered next time.

The dry run helps me get used to it and lower my anxiety. If I still feel it by the end, I will practice more, and really try to imagine that it is the real event with the real folks watching me.
On the contrary, I've written web services in Python and I found her snark highly entertaining, as usual.
There are only three plausible reasons.

1) There are flaws in the code that they don't want to reveal to the US (perhaps it doesn't work as they've claimed, or it's more fragile/easily defeated than currently thought). 2) If the code leaked (for any reason), it could open up weaknesses for an adversary. 3) There is something extraordinary in the software, to Israel's benefit, that they don't want anyone else to have. This seems less likely than the other two.
I'm not advocating for the death of privacy but, to me, the writing is on the wall. Technology makes it feasible and the political and economic benefits are too great and too many people are apathetic or complacent.

> But there is still plenty of privacy left in our personal lives.

This is unsupportable IMO as nearly everyone is carrying supercomputers with advanced sensors programmed to surveil them, etc. The battle for privacy was over when the microchip was invented.

- - - -

> Crime never disappears completely, it just pivots to operating within the current enforcement model.

That may not be true, I say let's find out, since we're losing our privacy anyway.

> See: Minority Report.

No, that's fiction. It's good, have you read it? But it's really more about the meta-physics of free will than anything to do with actual IRL surveillance and policing.

> The police destroying a house for fun, discussed upthread, is a good real-world example as well.

That's also crime. The sensors and computers are a given, the policy isn't (note the similarity of that word to "police"? That's not a coincidence.)
Seems at least as bad as what got Microsoft consent decreed back in the 90s...

> Shouldn't this be in favour of the ISP? If the traffic isn't balanced, then doesn't the peer that's sending more (e.g. YouTube, Netflix) usually pay?

No, these providers end up peering or placing CDN edge nodes on the provider network and essentially don't pay for their transit. They get this arrangement because it reduces the distance that the high-tier ISPs have to move their traffic.

The basic problem is this: ISPs enter peering arrangements with each other to avoid the bureaucracy of both paying each other to access the other's customers. As a consumer ISP, you only have end users, not service providers (or at least you have many more end users than service providers). So, your customers want to access to other networks. No other networks want to access your customers. This means that you don't have the negotiating position to set up peering agreements (because only your own customers would be affected by not having one).

In general, peering agreements are becoming very strained over the last five plus years because the underlying assumption of traffic symmetry is virtually never true for consumers now. In practice most of the high-tier ISPs business is providing consumers with access to Netflix. Netflix doesn't care about getting access to anyone else. So no one likes to peer with consumer ISPs, even the big ones, because there's nothing in it for them. This has produced some very high profile disputes with major consumer ISPs dropping peering with tier-1 providers.

> Looking online, it looks like the prices are $15 to $30 per IP address, depending on the size of the block. So I guess this cost swallows the first month of revenue from each new customer.

Yes, but you don't buy addresses onesy-twosy. If you're going to buy your own block you're probably going to want at least a /24 (255 addresses). That runs upwards of $5k. Most small ISPs start up with very little capital and that's out of reach. Plus you'll need to participate in BGP which is out of the technical expertise of most of the people I know running WISPs, although sometimes you can pay your transit provider to handle BGP for you.
Correct - its a statement of opinion. Yes, I think most of us are dismissive of some values of some others and that's OK.
It involved flooding various airports (especially in Canada) with planes that were already in the air destined to USA, others ended up diverting inside USA, generally lots of congestion and abnormal parking.

Slots are used to regulate congestion in normal conditions.
Punch cards were also quite durable, you could dump them in a punch in 'dup' mode to make a backup, and usually they had printed across their tops the text on them so it made reading them pretty simple.

I think that there are more layers in this story. There is medical community and there are politicians.

I expected that medical community would strongly advise in such situation about the policy that would save the most lives.

It is possible to politicians will find courage to take measures that will save lives. It is now up to them to find this courage.
Then carry a key fob with you. Nobody will stop you.
What's keeping our "lead in communications industry" at risk (and has been for decades) is the broken pricing model for mobile data. With that model, whether you have 4G, 5G or 9G wouldn't change anything because the limiting factor is never the speed but the usage quotas.

> Such diets are still better than the SAD, but you'd get a similar bang for the buck in terms of satiety and healthfulness ... if you just stuck with whole foods at least 80% of the time.

Another useful benefit of Keto is that the rules are really simple.

That sticking with whole foods 80% of the time is the hard part, there is temptation everywhere, e.g. the Girlscout cookies on desks at work, free granola bars, etc etc. A decent % of our society is geared towards getting people to eat more.

Keto says "you can't eat any of that junk". Just, flat out. No points, no "a little bit of ice cream", just, no. The easy calories are not an option.

> Then the dreaded plateau appears, which can happen pretty fast on keto, esp due to the propaganda that calories don't matter.

Plateau's happen for many reasons, and a lot of them are not yet fully understood. For years there were stories of people eating below maintenance who aren't losing weight, and just recently science has learned that gut biomes can drop (increase?) their efficiency and result in a lower BMR than normal.

Of course at the end of the day, getting a 6 pack requires being hungry. There is no getting around that! (Well other than being under 24 and very physically active, but that's a very time boxes solution! ;) )
