Good idea for this! But trickier for phone calling into a conversation. They could also just add 3 digits and a slight delay in their connection API, making it much harder to brute force, albeit only by a constant factor.

I don't think I could hit my top 10 - there are a lot of very good coffee shops around me and I'm not that enthusiastic about coffee. However, top 10 is also not my goal for making coffee at home. I'm just aiming for good enough to enjoy drinking it, and also caffeine.

I've been trying cold brewing my coffee lately, and I'm liking it a lot. No warm cup in the morning, but it tastes good and I can make it in large batches over the weekend. Grind and mix in the morning, filter and store in the evening. Also, it requires minimal attention on workdays and still tastes fine at the end of the week.
Unless small businesses know how long they'll be closed, I'd guess it's hard for them to know whether they'll survive.

It's also unclear, once things open up again, whether people will spend like they used to or whether the loss of potential customers' paychecks will add to the pain of small businesses.

>It's a collective voice. How that voice is used is up to the union members.

I've never been in (or had the opportunity to be in) a union, but it seems like you could apply this exact same argument to the US congress. Congress is a collective voice. How that voice is used is up to the voters. Of course, it's far from that simple in the real world.
I have no idea, hopefully? Or maybe this bug just manifests as a minor fuzziness on calculations that'd fall within acceptable error for seemingly unrelated tests. I also have no idea what Boeing's QA is like and I feel like assuming the best is clearly incorrect.

Oops, I got that mixed up with the ability for small business to reimburse employees with tax free money for purchasing health insurance from healthcare.gov
I would say that these people lose their health insurance, but sadly they probably didn't have any to begin with, as many of the losses are service industry jobs. There are many positive things about the US, but the lack of comprehensive affordable medical coverage seems cruel. Especially tying it to employment.
Hard to say any specific anecdotes for how he does it. It's mostly in attitude; how he says things rather than what he says. You can tell from his attitude that when he challenges you, it's not to put you down or exert authority, it's because he genuinely wants everyone to come to the strongest conclusion. (Even if most people think they also act this way, probably they don't, or they don't express it that well).

There will be a discussion that starts meandering, going down rabbit holes, and somehow he'll find the perfect question to ask, which is always a very simple one, to set everyone back on target. Sometimes I don't think people even realize this is happening.

The reason it's hard to explain is because it comes across as an innate character trait, a skill that's just core to his personality, which is why it's so hard to emulate.

I'm well aware of the dynamics of money in a capitalistic society. Especially for companies like this one who have taken funding and not launched a product yet.

My annoyance was them touting "we grew up using IRC" and then taking none of the hacker ethos from it. I'm not saying they have to abandon profit entirely, but I would like to have seen some openness in their protocols. Some mention of launching an open API. But nothing.

Let's project forward a little using lessons from the past : This is a company, that has taken funding, has not launched a product, and is presumably not profitable. So if they run out of cash they're going to say to their investors, we have run out of money, and the investors are going to say what are your assets?

Most places allow a probationary period for new employees. In practice, if you have actually done the assessment process and formal critique in a documented way, it's not a problem to get rid of someone who actually isn't working. What you can't do is fire people on a whim or personal anger.

That hasn't been true in my experience. For example, German has a lot of compound nouns that aren't breakable over multiple lines, so you often have to tweak your navigation layout to account for this vs languages that are more likely to be breakable over multiple lines, like English.
What's wrong is we are trying to fit a round peg(general desktop apps) into a square hole(flowable document delivery model as envisioned originally by Berners-Lee).

It is easier to make UIs with Winforms, Qt, WPF, heck even with Actionscript it was more managable than with DOM.

The problem is that there is no unifying standard, no single vision. There are competing frameworks but they leak abstractions all over.

For example I am making UIs with ipywidgets which is basically JS on the front end and it at least a couple of abstractions too deep to fully understand it.

To emphasize how stupid making UIs using web is, let's take something simple like dropdown.

There is no such thing in the web standards, we use ul, ol etc and then we fake it/add another abstraction with a library or framework

In an ideal world dropdown would be a web component that could be imported, then be styled and events would be bound.

You make the mistake a lot of geeks does, thinking it's a technical problem. It's not.

You can have the best tech in the world, if the state is against you, if laws are against you, if society is against you, you'll only have scraps of a life.

It's all about people caring. Because only the mass of human can oppose anything. The rest are just sparks.

And you can state "do care about anonymity and privacy" as much as you want. Words don't matter. Actions do.

And people are still putting their entire life willingly on Facebook.
If you get charged then dispute the charge with your bank. If not then you're off the hook financially.

How can the US have that little protection? By not passing laws protecting workers, it's quite simple, actually.

The implied "why" would be a more fluid workforce. We've all heard the horror stories of companies/industries/nations paralyzed by an unmotivated/unproductive workforce. Hell, we have the same jokes here about jobs in some government agencies and big corporations.

The thought is "quick to hire, quick to fire".

I don't mind it; I just think the situation where you lose your job AND your health care is insane.

I'd like a stronger social safety net.

On the other hand, perhaps countries with a stronger social safety net make it harder for companies to fire, so they push the burden back on the companies to keep from stressing social services.
FWIW: Japan (for sure) and Europe (probably) seem likely to recover from the lockdowns rather faster than the US, which is just now getting started in big chunks of the country.

While I agree in principle that the markets are trying to price in the downturn, I genuinely don't think that the median-dollar-investor abstraction really has a clue how long this is likely to last.
I've been working home since before the lockdown in my country. Since the lockdown, the number of online meetings that I have in a day has tripled. I think in about 2-3 meetings a day I have problems with microphone/hearing, and end up dialing in from my phone. This is normally for Skype for Business meetings.

The same tends to happen with a few colleagues ... Some anecdote.

You are confused between "internet" and "social media". Should we shut down internet ? hell no. Right now, my business would literally die if we shut down the internet because that is the only thing that keeps us going. Do I care about social media ? Not so much. SOme of it is important, some of it is cool and most of it is downright nasty. I particularly wouldn't care too much if the likes of FB/Twitter went down for a short period but again, some people also make money from those platforms and possibly have a livelihood tied to them (marketers ?)

Kill the message, not the messenger. If Social media is easy to mis-spread information, teach people how to use it better.

Unfortunately there is no evidence to suggest that the US will get out of this anywhere as quickly or efficiently as China.

On the contrary, so far it appears US cases will peak much higher and later than in China, and a lack of resources at the state and local level will massively slow any subsequent recovery.
I mean, this is intentional. They even allow you to set your meeting ID to a well-known number, like your company's published phone number.

If you want to join the all-hands meetings of a company I used to work for, you only need to go their website and lookup their primary phone number. That's the Zoom meeting ID.
Non expert speculation: we are printing money like no tomorrow. We are giving $4 trillion in free money to large corporations. With how easily they agreed to that there’s reason to expect they’ll do even more. There’s a huge demand for USD outside the US. All this means may be heading for a period of high inflation in the US despite the recession. People need to put money somewhere and assets are the only place to go.
So, your idea is a plane comes with firmware when you buy it (say in 1985) and then that's the only version forever. Every problem between 1985 and now, too bad, this passed QA back in 1985 and we're not changing anything? No.

Airliners are very long-lived equipment. So in fact they ship new releases. New releases have features that may be really valuable to safety, as well as features that are nice quality of life improvements. They're not shipping once per hour like a web startup, or even once per day like the NT internal team, but they do need to ship more than "once per new model of aircraft".

I've written before about an accident I spent a bunch of time looking at. No fatalities, just a smashed runway light but still reportable because of the "But for..." rationale. Two of the easiest things that would have prevented that from occurring were firmware tweaks. One was a recommended (but not mandatory) change in a newer build and the other exists only in Airbus planes so far.

Specifically the newer build does OAT disagree meaning if you tell the plane "It is -20°C outside" thus automatic takeoff thrust is much lower, the plane considers the temperature sensor at the engine inlet and it says to itself, this reads +15°C which is 35K different, that's the difference between flying and crashing into the fence at the end of the runway. I disagree with your guess about the temperature and so I refuse to try to figure out what to do next. You can realise you entered it wrong and type a more realistic value in, or you can set the thrust yourself manually if my sensors are broken.

The fancier Airbus approach was not to focus on the result of air temperature calculations. If the plane isn't accelerating enough, it can't fly, we don't care why it isn't accelerating, maybe the wheels are square - we need to abort takeoff so we don't crash. So teach the plane how long runways are, it can use GPS to figure out which runway it's using, and then it can tell pilots if they aren't getting enough acceleration and they'll abort because they don't care why it's not enough acceleration either, they don't want to die in a fireball.

That’s incredibly simplified. Policy makers don’t have a simple switch to which results in some specific known outcome. Nobody wants millions of Americans to die or for another outbreak to happen in 6+ months. Unfortunately, avoiding both without shutting everything down until a vaccine is developed is tricky.
I believe a reboot in such circumstances belongs to the A check[0], i.e. each 25 days of flight time or more frequently than that.

(Franky, I am surprised airplane software runs for days—somehow I assumed they get shut down completely every time they refuel.)

65+ enter the magical land of Medicare, where the taxpayers start taking care of you and paying for your medical care.

But over the years, even that has been chipped down and is extremely confusing, with a combination of means testing and supplementary insurance programs that you need to buy to get "full coverage".

But basically, 65+ means if you go to the hospital, and get a $300k bill, it won't ruin your finances as the government picks up the hospital bills. I'm pretty sure. But there's Part A/B/C/D/etc, which cover different things like prescription medicines, non hospital healthcare, etc that are not paid for or partially paid for, and you have to buy supplementary insurance for those.

Also, health insurance in the US is not just insurance, it's also buying access to a set of healthcare providers that the insurance has negotiated pricing with, so that you don't get taken advantage of by the healthcare providers who can otherwise charge you whatever they want.

As you can see, the US spends a decent portion of its time trying to figure out how to take advantage of the system (i.e. each other) and wring out as much as possible while putting in as little as possible.

You may have a point with the gov't part, but just because a business is large doesn't mean they're immune (see GM for an easy example). All the money comes from somewhere, so it will depend on the business. My company is pretty big, but the businesses that are our customers are all feeling a huge amount of pain right now as their sales completely tanked. We're doing everything we can to help them stay afloat so we get something, but there's no way this revenue problem doesn't come to us sooner or later.

Hopefully, yes, although this turnaround has some unfortunate bureaucratic costs to both the employees and employers. I hope those small-medium business loans work for keeping a reasonable number of people on payrolls. While the administration of those loans has its own potential pitfalls, in some ways it seems like the better path than leaning on the unemployment insurance system.
From landlines?
I enjoy reading something that is written by someone passionate about the topic, and I enjoyed this perspective, but I disagree based on my admittedly limited experience with DD.

I've read white noise and zero-k, and found both underwhelming. To be fair, I read these after having read most of DFW work - which I find far superior - which probably spoilt it for me.
I didn't find the prose good enough to make up for the lack of a story. Nor the themes that interesting or well explored.
> So as a non-US citizen, I didn't know about "at-will employment"

"At-will employment" might be a US legal concept, but it's everywhere in Asia.

A few first-world economies (like Singapore, where I'm at; perhaps Hong Kong too) have similar (or less) employment protection to keep their reputations as "business-friendly" countries.

For 10 years I had smart phones, this was never the reason for breaking. I know that there are people who constantly break theirs, but I don't take my phone to shower.

That has nothing to do with it, micro USB had this failure and looks that USB-C is much more durable, if they opted for mini USB (which is pretty much the same size as micro USB, we wouldn't this problem at all).

> and that has enough memory to not need to use an sdcard (I bought a good brand sdcard from a reliable retailer, and it fucked out in the phone: I would never make that mistake again).

Ask HN: When are large data structures used in practice?
Can anyone share some practical examples where it is a requirement to maintain 1M+ elements in a data structure when streams and iterators are not a viable alternative?

Using a vector as an example, where O(n) operations are actually very fast in practice when n < X, when might X be big enough in practice to warrant the use of other specialized structures like skip lists and radix-balanced trees?
We can't see what's in the box (since closed source), but I personally would be okay with this being a clearly laid out limitation, i.e. having a nice blinking red function comment saying "This integer will overflow if the system is up for more than 50 days, but due to hardware limitations we're unable to properly do X Y & Z with a 64 bit width integer on these subsystems."

If this issue is clearly identified and tested around that's alright, it isn't a huge deal to have to reboot periodically... I'm more concerned this issue is one of those "Oh well, it just... gets a bit off after fifty days - try rebooting it, that seems to fix it."
