What do you mean? I have an Onyx BOOX MAX 2 PRO 13.3" and it works quite well. As a large-screen (close to A4) hi-res (2220×1650) e-reader it is very good, especially for scientific/technical papers. In addition to two-finger touch it has a very good Wacom digitizer with stylus. On the software side it has Android with Google Play and a lot of third-party apps work OK. Sideloading APKs is possible if e.g. you want to deploy your own apps. Where Onyx botched it is the external monitor feature: The device has an HDMI input port but the interface HW doesn't support the full physical resolution of the e-ink screen which is really annoying. But otherwise not a bad device at all - and most of what it leaves to be desired on the SW side can be corrected by installing suitable apps.
> will any of this impact inflation?

Probably not, as Philips Curve fueled inflation hasn't been a problem for a very long time in the US, income & wealth inequality just eats that segment of inflation up

Central banks through the western world have been getting consistent under target inflation rates for many, many years now, and that's a chronic issue that won't change unless strong systemic changes happen which fuel Phillips Curve inflation once again

Last year the ECB published this amazing, amazing paper which cover how labor costs affect inflation, specifically the Phillips Curve which I can't recommend to all the other MacroEcon people to review

The unnecessarily large apps probably use cross-platform tools that ship their runtime with each installation, losing out on Apple's optimizations or they have multiple ad tracking or 3rd party UI libraries.

I am not an expert in mobile dev by any means since I switched from web to native mobile development barely a year ago but when I was still resisting to learn the native way of doing things I was exploring the cross-platform solutions and libraries to "take advantage of my current skills", anything that goes beyond the demo todo list app quickly escalated in resource consumption and development complexity.

With these cross-platform tools, the moment you try to do something a little bit differently than everybody else, you find yourself stitching multiple 3rd party libraries together and these libraries add up to the binary size and loading times.
That's great! The interviews you conduct are atypical because allowing open book is most definitely not the norm for the format that forces candidates to Leetcode in order to practice.

It is hard to tell there, because someone who commits a physical crime is much more likely to get caught than someone who does not, but it does seem like some resources should be devoted to the dangerous ones.

This doesn't excuse the government trying to destroy security for everyone else. One of the biggest problems highlighted by the NYTimes is insufficient funding leading to an inability to apprehend culprits, not the widespread use of end-to-end encryption.

Other than context I doubt you missed anything. At the literal level it is an industrial film about creative process with the most likely primary audience employees in Tom Sachs’s studio. It’s still a film made by artists for artists and the visual narrative is more nuanced than the voiceover because the voiceover is blunt and industrial film literal.

But taken as an industrial film about creative process visual metaphors like an ignition, a rabbit foot key chain, sifting sand in a desert, and parking tickets don’t look so much like art for art’s sake. They provide analogs to talk about. If the creative process is building software systems, parking tickets might be a way of thinking about technical debt. Or not. Either way the literal level “do the hard/easy thing first” is a question with no right answer when creating software systems (or art).

In the interest of full disclosure I’m not as bright as I am pretending. I subscribe to Sachs’s YouTube channel. When it first came out the video also included Sachs and others talking about the visual language and other aspects of the film making and answering questions.

> then forcibly lock people into their homes

Turns out, that's the right thing to do. Now almost everyone is doing it to some extent.

Also: after China stopped pretending there's no problem and locked down Wuhan, it immediately coordinated the rest of the country to support the virus control efforts in Hubei. The western equivalent of that would be if the UN ordered isolation of Italy, and then ordered the rest of the EU, the UK and the US to ship food, personnel and PPEs to Italy, all in the space of days.

But UN doesn't have that power, EU doesn't have that power either, so here we are.
From article [2]:

> But Microsoft argues that there’s still a place for this sort of short-form messaging within email, too, noting how you may need to quickly send a co-worker a message like: “don’t send the presentation yet!” or “let’s chat in 10,” for example.

Couldn't you just put that quick message in the subject line of an e-mail with an empty body? It doesn't seem like you'd need a separate app to do that.

As far as I'm concerned, I wish my co-workers would stop trying to call or Slack me and just send an e-mail. Then I can have all my messages in one place that's easily searchable and can be filtered using my e-mail client's filtering rules.
it's unbelievable the amount of biased, subjective anti-chinese propaganda found on hacker news. and most of it is by people who only repeat the propaganda found in u.s. media and/or have never even been to china. there are of course legitimate, serious problems there, but you won't find accurate portrayals of them here, and you will certainly see the same problems in the u.s. and west ignored.

asking for evidence for a comment that requests evidence themselves and then makes unfounded claims gets downvoted. and you see comments like this everywhere. meanwhile, the u.s. is literally failing on nearly every vector which is very scary.

There was very clear evidence, the WHO were just ignoring it like they pretend Taiwan isn't it's own independent entity, they won't talk about Taiwan or interact with them for the sake of politics. It's no coincidence that the one country that has the most reason to mistrust the CCP and took the alternate sources from on the ground reporting as trusted that has managed to not get overrun by this virus.

They literally just repeated whatever the CCP said, plenty of information was leaking out of the country through alternate channels, reports about doctor/journalist arrests, and the way the Chinese public was reacting about how serious this virus was. What did they think it was if not human to human transmission? Hundreds of people in multiple cities ate at the same restaurant or tainted meat? People were talking about this virus in China publicly in early January and it was known it was spreading.

It's a difficult question to answer because most of what HN complains about is speculation based on assuming bad faith, and doesn't seem to line up with what is actually in the bill (from what I can tell).

What specific controls are you asking about?
I once failed this question at a FAANG company. We were talking about a recent project that my company did with Pivotal. So like every project Pivotal does, we spent about one day a week dividing up the upcoming work into tiny pieces, then we spent the other four days pair programming by doing whatever the top task on the backlog was. Predictibly, on a team that had 3 pairs, this means I or my pair did about 1/3 of all things, distributed somewhat uniformly throughout the project.

"What parts are you solely responsible for?" 0 things, the same as everyone else who worked on this project! Wrong answer though.
From your link, about table 6:

> wearing N95 masks (0.09, 0.03 to 0.30, NNT=3, 2.37 to 4.06);

NNT=3 means "number needed to treat". This means that to see the effect at all in one person you need three people to correctly wear a mask.

If 99 people correctly wear an N95 mask only 33 of them have a reduced chance of catching covid-19.

Here are photos of people who have correctly worn an N95 / FPP3 mask. I don't think most of the general public can tolerate this.

We also know that "doffing" (taking off) the PPE is difficult, and that many healthcare professionals are infected when they take it off. I don't think most members of the public can comply with the complicated donning and doffing protocols.
I agree with number 3. Laws are introduced "against terrorism and pedophiles" and then used against drug dealers and activists.

What ever happened with that lawsuit?
Serious question: In old Sandy Bridge days it was recommended to disable hyperthreading. That would decrease heat produced by CPU and allow better overclocking (2600k versus 2500k debate).

Are there some features in CPU (such as hyperthreading), I can disable, so I can run system without those workarounds? I think faster Linux kernel could offset slightly lower CPU performance. Also there is lower energy consumption on laptop...
For all the complaints about whiteboarding, it does filter out a lot of people who can't seem to generalize problems or are weak at either problem solving or coding. I don't see how anyone who has given technical interviews could say whiteboarding is a waste of time, unless they are not good enough at whiteboarding to be able to productively give such an interview.

University of Pennsylvania has an amazing course on single variable calculus.

Don't let the idea of doing 'basic' calculus turn you away as it is an incredibly tough course. The reason it can be so challenging and the reason I find it so incredible is that it teaches Calculus through the lenses of Taylor Series. Very different to other Calculus courses and as someone who hated my first year university maths course it's helped me really come to appreciate the beauty of it!

Here's the link to the first course of 5:

HN isn't sinking into the gutter calling out a government for doing horrifying things, spreading misinformation, suppressing accurate information, all to save face/embarrassment and keep its economy.

People here read alternate sources of news, see the videos leaking out on the Internet, they're very savy and know that any reporting that rely on CCP as primary source of info are bird cage liner. The CCP acted in bad faith, and the world suffered for it, and this isn't the first time.

> As for the opposite scenario, you’ve got that right as well, except that the interviewer is a 25 year old, recently graduated theater major.

Insert there what you want, hehe. It always reminds me of one teacher I had, who always wanted to get oddly specific answers on his (always a little to unspecific) questions. He was so happy when nobody could answer it, he probably forgot what his job actually was. Behaviour like this tells more about the psyche of the interviewer than it tells about the candidate. Sometimes a behaviour like this is also the interviewers way of making sure the candidate doesn't expose them as the fraud they deep down feel they are: "See they didn't know that oddly specific bit (that I know!), so they must be worse than me – thank god!" In case of my teacher he felt insecure enough to feel the need to one-up teenagers and instead of teaching them something.

Interviewers are only human after all as well. But it shouldn't be the candidates job to rub interviewers in the right way in order to make them comfortable with their own shortcomings as it shouldn't be the pupils job to massage teachers into actually teaching them something.

You can mock mutable variables in actors. Actors and genservers are a first class module in the standard library. Elixir is not Haskell. There are plenty of places with accessible statefulness/mutability, it's just shielded in a functional wrapper and made slightly difficult to dissuade you from using statefulness unnecessarily, so you make fewer coding and concurrency mistakes in annoying places and you can focus on delivering features and solving hard problems.

Oh fair enough, not really arguing that point.
