Well, to be fair they are measuring something different, precisely because the confirmed positives is skewed by the scarcity of testing. Since that doesn't seem to be getting fixed, other approaches are needed. So discrepancies versus number of confirmed positives is one of the things you might look for in this data as a sign that more investigation is needed. It's not intended to be an accurate accounting of covid-19 cases: "The estimates can be helpful for policymakers and health researchers to forecast potential COVID-19 outbreaks. These estimates don’t represent confirmed COVID-19 cases and shouldn’t be used for diagnostic or treatment purposes, or guidance on personal or business travel."

This also seems off to me... Sounds like some well paid grocery store workers.
those arguments look just slightly in bad faith since they act like they're only competing for talent against local non-remote companies for every location when they're not. They're also competing against other remote companies, specially those that don't do location-based comp.

Team members in low-wage regions being in golden handcuffs and sticking around because of the compensation even when they are unhappy.

Those people will be still be in golden-handcuffs until they find another remote job.

A concentration of team members in low-wage regions, since it is a better deal for them, while we want a geographically diverse team.

Come on, you can still pay top dollar globally and hire evenly around the globe if that's what you want. It's just cheaper their way.

Honestly, the whole thing is just a huge rationalization. They could just have said "we adjust for location because we can".

While I agree that "heatmapping" can be interpreted the way the article used it, I don't think that this is what comes to people's minds when they hear that phrase, so I would call it misleading at best.

But saying that they are "heatmapping employees" is blatantly wrong. They aren't heatmapping individual employees, they are scoring/heatmapping stores.

But merely saying that we should be concerned about the future of white children is hotly contested.

This is a good example of the bar HNers must have these days when they bafflingly assert that Google is somehow getting worse from what they remember.

Google has gotten better, it's just HNer expectations that have changed as they expect more and more magic.

For example, the subtitle on the repo is "Stupid AI" when this query has never worked in these search engines, and it won't anytime soon.

You'd think the technical HN crowd would be more advanced than to make the same mistakes that (they complain that) stakeholders/users/gamers make when they mistakenly think everything is much easier than it actually is. Things aren't "stupid" just because they can't yet read your mind.

It can and is being done. It requires a lot of worker safety because toxic molds can grow in the environment as well. Cannabis now has the same worker safety so I'm confident higher standards can be brought to psilocybin production.

To those of you complaining about dosage you can take a representative sample of a batch, grind it up, and test it for potency via GC/MS. Same way it's done in cannabis. For cannabis edibles we have an allowable range of 4.9-5.1mg/dose on a serving labeled 5mg. I'm pretty sure we can nail 1000mg doses of psilocybin pretty accurately.
>completely dominate the earth and the elements".

I think that depends on how you look at it. If we're going by pure numbers, bacteria win by a landslide. Then we've got fungi which come pretty close to competing with bacteria for most numerous and widespread.

Ants probably have us beat too along with a few other insects.

But to address the point you were making. It didn't happen all at once. It was a long gradual process that occurred with huge overlap between different hominid species. The 'jump' in brain power wasn't a jump, but a slow process of selection where smarter individuals would outcompete the less intelligent ones.

For example, they would possibly hunt more efficiently, using tools and having a better memory for migration routes, they would have a better memory for dangers etc. Over time individuals better suited to this would mate and breed with others, this in turn would pass those traits on to offspring while individuals who couldn't compete would be left out and over millions of years of this and constant adaptations acquired because of this, humanity got smarter.

Yes, most of the major oilfield service companies have started layoffs, and they're starting to ramp up. During the last oil downturn, 2015-16, it wasn't just the O&G upstream/downstream companies, it heavily impacted manufacturing (Houston is a big manufacturing center) companies, real-estate, etc.

We're already starting to see some of this, but it's also getting swept up with the pandemic lockdown, so it's hard to tell one apart from the other ATM, except that oilfield services are shedding employees quicker than other large firms, anecdotally.

Edit: it's worth noting that while the last downturn was heavily impactful on the energy, manufacturing, and real estate sectors, the recovery was pretty quick as the overall impact to the economy was about 1.6% down, and the rest of the overall economy was booming.
Every once in a while I try the voice recognition by trying to speak normally to it. Normally, as is saying things like: "please set a reminder for five... umm... no I mean 6 o'clock".

Normal humans do this all the time, and if I can't do it speaking to it becomes incredibly frustrating to the point that I never want to do it again. I don't want to plan ahead what to say before I say it.

Ask HN: I've been asked to do a “1 hour consultation” for pay. What next?
I was recently contacted (cold call) by a consultant on LinkedIn who is looking for a Subject Matter Expert for "Management and Security" of SaaS products. He has floated a sum of $800-1000 for a "one hour consultation" and wants to discuss rates as well as provide more information.

The initial amount seems high since my calculated consulting rate based on my salary (<base salary> / 52 / 40 * 3) would be more like $250-$300/hr. However I naturally don't want to leave money on the table if they're willing to pay more.

I have almost a decade of experience as a software engineer delivering SaaS products both B2C and B2B, so I'm sure I can answer his questions, and I'm not afraid to negotiate but I've never done anything like this before, and I don't want to come off as naive initially - so I'm wondering what other peoples' experiences are.

Has anyone here worked as a consultant in this sort of capacity? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks!

So the better search would be "DisplayPort adapter for a Mac."

As with including the word "stripes" in a search where you want to omit results with stripes, including the word "mini" is only causing unnecessary confusion. The adapter that works for a Mac Mini will also work for a Macbook, as an example.
"Shirt without stripes" may (or may not) be an unusual word choice to enter into a search engine, but it's definitely one that a child would understand.

> A search engine is optimizing for billions of queries. Most of which are on the long tail.

Citation needed.

As far as my personal observations go, Google is NOT optimized for long tail at all. It is always trying to return most popular results from cache of most popular results. Once the cache is exhausted, Google starts to return completely irrelevant trash (anything after first two pages of search is pure spam and meaningless keyword soup).

If you try to look up some obscure keyword and find nothing, try again after couple of months. There is a very high likehood, that you will see dozens of "new" results — most of them being from several years old pages. Perhaps, the actual long-tail searches still happen somewhere in background, but you are not going to see their output right away — instead you need to wait until they get committed to the nearby cache.

Another alarming change, that happened relatively recently (4-5 years ago), is tendency to increase number of results at expense of match precision. A long time ago Google actually returned exact results when you quoted search phrase. Then they started to ignore quotes. Then they started to ignore some of search terms, if doing so results in greater number of results. Finally, Google gained horrifying ability to ignore MOST of search terms. OP's example probably has the same cause — Google's NLP knows the meaning of word "without". But Alphabet Inc. can't afford to hose all those websites, that use AdWords to sell you STRIPED SHIRTS. This would mean a loss of money! THE LOSS OF MONEY!!!
This problem is known as "attribution" - you have a "no" or "without" in the sentence, but you don't know where it belongs. One could (and one does) argue that the problem cannot be solved with statistical methods (ML), especially not in any domain where accuracy is required, such as medical recored analysis: "no evidence of cancer" and "evidence of no cancer" are very different things.

Zooming out, the language field breaks into several subfields:

- A large group of Chomsky followers in academia are all about logical rules but very little in the way of algorithmic applicability, or even interest in such.

- A large and well-funded group of ML practitioners, with a lot of algorithmic applicability, but arguably very shallow model of the language fails in cases like attribution. Neural networks might yet show improvement, but apparently didn't in this case.

- A small and poorly funded group of "comp ling", attempting to create formalisms (e.g. HPSG) that are still machine-verifiable, and even generative. My girlfriends is doing PhD in this area, in particular dealing with modeling WH questions, so I get some glimpse into it; it's a pity the field is not seeing more interest (and funding).

From behind Rawls' veil of ignorance, how many children would choose not to be born if given that choice? It is at least as reasonable to say that they've been given a most precious of gifts as it is to say that they were forced in to it. And if they'd really rather not exist no one can take away from them the choice to end their life. That few would say this is really an option should balance the perspective that being born is a forced burden.

The perspective of life as an infinite gift gives parents some justification for authoritarianism which some will abuse. The perspective of being forced into it gives children some justification for entitlement which some will abuse.

I think it is harder to get children to not abuse a free pass and I think that parents have a better claim overall. But parents using it is a terrible practice that will backfire. Parents need to earn respect and compliance without relying on the trump card of 'i made you'. It is up to the children to decide what obligations they have towards their parents later on. And this should mostly be a function of raising considerate and capable people with maximal possible buy-in.

I agree that the bulk of children's debt is to society and their own children. But this requires a sense of fairness to notice the debt and the capability to repay it. Parents have a crucial role to play in developing these.
The published order of the books is not chronological order, but, I believe unless an author explicitly says so, one should always read their books in published order.

I like how you build strawman maintenance programmer and completely twist original debate around.

Good rhetorical trick, but not much more.

In practice, purely maintennace programmer is rare up to not existing. Most people do both maintennace and new projects. I have seen many people who wanted to cherry pick the best tasks, never coordinated and left after "finishing". They never even learned about issues of their decisions - because they run away as their creation was becomming hard to keep.

A "laser" just means that the emitted photons are phase synchronized, but says nothing about the intensity. The range is also irrelevant. For a radially emitting source, intensity scales as the inverse squared distance, but assuming you control the output, it's a moot point.

> That was however the intent of the statement: Companies that pay dividends or make share buy-backs are more vulnerable in a crisis [compared to otherwise identical companies who build a cash buffer].

That's a false dichotomy though.

Option three is what, for example, most of the profitable/zero-dividend tech firms do - which is to reinvest to boost market share, perform research and development and enter new businesses instead of returning a dividend to shareholders.

No dividends; but no cash pile either. Under your theory, those companies are no better equipped to deal with a crisis.
How to Manage an Underperforming Team
> For historic reasons states have built systems that prevent normal governments from inventing money at scale: Independent Central Banks.

Could you explain this? I think the CB system does not quite prevent money creation, it just makes it less transparent. Inventing a jargon to nice sounding words to hide the creation of money (yes I look at you "quantative easing") also does not help.

If govts wanted to limit their power to create money, they could have made some constitutional law or smth.

I feel the CB system is more an invention by the bank(er)s, than by govts. If you look at the timing and trickery involved in singing the CBs into law all over the world, you will see this is not something done with full governmental/public awareness and consent. To the contrary.
