> We will update our marketing materials, as well as provide more information about SMR technology, including benchmarks and ideal use cases.

I interpreted that to mean "Future SMR drives will disclose their use of the technology". We'll of course have to see whether follow through, but for now they're doing the right things.
Body-work is heavy regulated. E.g. location and size of bumpers, certain lights not allowed on movable body-work, etc. A lot of the "top shell" also has structural elements under other regulations.

Lots of older-gen designs would not be certifyably street legal if released today.
- Because it would give me better career development than where I am now as a senior SWE.

- TC trajectory would be significantly higher, even if it means taking a minor temporary paycut.

- Intangibles, which might sound trivial, but stuff like working with smart coworkers, not having to dress up like a businessman to work, etc.

Yes, it's by design. It was easier at first but you can "help" new players easier.
They suggest treating only 5-7% of the blood, which is 250 - 350 ml. It's still going to be an elaborate procedure, but a lot less so than hemodialysis, which moves much larger volumes of blood. You wouldn't even need a large-bore catheter, and keeping the blood pressure stable would be far less of a concern, so you probably don't have to do it 1:1.
Get ready for your government-issued (mandatory) smart phone.
It seems that given effectiveness of UV treatment on surfaces, he extrapolated its potential to use within the body. Just because he landed on a solution that on paper sounds like an anti-bacterial cure from the 40s and 50s doesn't mean that is the same treatment he was suggesting.

I think rsynnott is saying it's pure coincidence that what he suggested sounds like UBI and it's likely that UBI is a term Trump has never heard before.
IIUC in this procedure they extract (a part of) the blood, irradiate it and then reintroduce it, so there is no risk of skin cancer. It may be harmful for white cells, and it is discussed in the article.

Apparently it was useful against polio, that is also caused by a virus. But I don´t have any idea if that can be extrapolated to Covid-19 that is a very different virus with a very different action.

(Also, I don´t know if this method scales when you need to treat hundred of people.)
This is a good take. I'm genuinely sorry you're being downvoted. Anything remotely positive about Trump is just destroyed and it's absolutely ridiculous. There's no objectivity - people online interpret everything he does in the absolutely worst way.
Well, high cost of living markets are basically propped up by the surrounding economy. It's true that the high cost of living areas would rebalance, but that can leave the current homeowners underwater.

As for the handouts part of your comment, what do you consider a handout? The stimulus checks? Is QE considered a handout?
> I recently went to Naples and IMO the secret to just how amazing everything tastes there is the quality of produce. I don't know whether you can even export it - I don't know whether that kind of quality travels.

Bingo. Produce and ingredients are generally very high quality in Italy, because people care about and make their purchases based on that, rather than simply looking at how much they're getting at a given price and how good it looks on the shelves.
IMO, forget the big companies and startups. There's plenty of opportunities at smaller, established companies, which are, in my opinion, often better places to work anyway.
I've had this issue a few times with credit card companies, loan companies, and on one or two occasions collections agents. Some very nice person calls in order to discuss an issue with me, but wants me to tell them my birthdate, last-four-of-SSN, and other stuff "in order to verify your identity". They then act annoyed and puzzled that I won't just reel that information off to some rando who called me out of the blue, and start pointing to the caller ID as evidence that they're legitimate. The funniest part of the conversation is when they warn me that we won't be able to discuss this problem if I won't verify my identity, at which point I respond that they called me, so if they don't want to spend any more time on the phone, I'm happy to go back to whatever I was doing and they can try reaching me by some non-brain-dead means.

I feel like if we ran a public education campaign about how easy it is to spoof caller ID, a lot of these scams would stop working, but that's probably just me being foolishly optimistic.

Yeah there are a few bioinformaticians around - but they're few and far between and are often graduate students or candidates. Contrast with the diversity of tech profiles you find on here, from 60 year old COBOL veterans to ex-Googlers or the creators of frameworks, and all the founders.

I think there's a difficulty in that you can't just do biology from your garage, even bioinformatics. The standards have shifted, and most of the low-hanging fruit has been picked. You either need to generate original data yourself with costly experiments, collaborate with people who have done so, or explore enormous amounts of data with costly compute. To meet these requirements you need to be affiliated to an institution, i.e. work within the system. (An exception would be Googlers and other such people who already have access to the compute for some reason)

Perhaps the whole thing is ripe for disruption, but so far all I've seen is repeated variations on xkcd #1831.
Your comment and the article's referance to honey bee behavior reminds me of a section that has always troubled me from an old Charlie Munger talk on human misjudgement [1]

<QUOTE>
...
22. And then I’ve got development and organizational confusion from say-something
syndrome.

And here my favorite thing is the bee, a honeybee. And a honeybee goes out and finds the nectar and he comes back, he does a dance that communicates to the other bees where the nectar is, and they go out and get it. Well some scientist who is clever, like B.F. Skinner, decided to do an experiment. He put the nectar straight up. Way up. Well, in a natural setting, there is no nectar where they’re all straight up, and the poor honeybee doesn’t have a genetic program that is adequate to handle what he now has to communicate. And you’d think the honeybee would come back to the hive and slink into a corner, but he doesn’t. He comes into the hive and does this incoherent dance, and all my life I’ve been dealing with the human equivalent of that honeybee. [Laughter] And it’s a very important part of human organization so the noise and the reciprocation and so forth of all these people who have what I call say-something syndrome don’t really affect the decisions.
<END QUOTE>

So this "Say-Something-Syndrome" is a negative input that introduces development and organizational confusion in to an otherwise well tested method. It doesn't scale. It is to be ignored.

This troubles me as an absolute position. Yes there is danger funneling good resources down a rabbit hole to nowhere and yur core strategies should not flap around like a faulty nic card chasing shiny new things. But, you cannot close a system off completely or it will get stuck. Contuious improvement, iteration, hot wash lessons learned, red teams, squad checks, all these are dependent on effective positive & negative feedback processing. Not writing off all dissenting opinion as noise.

It's a balance. It's form of art. Dynamic systems are messy in real time both for managers and engineers and not much about that will change. Best we can do is learn what we can from some old bee and monkey [2] stories.

Books on mindfulness and meditation have played a big part in my life. There are many good ones out there, so I wont recommend a particular one, but I would suggest, instead, going to a physical book store and look through the books and find one that looks good for you.
I think it's a little disingenuous to compare it to theft. They left some information out of their datasheet that was relevant to people. They said some really stupid stuff when they got called out on it. And I bet if you had access to the internal communications of WD after that blog post you'd see a bunch of big direct customers threatening to pull blanket POs for WD Reds unless WD added some information to their data sheets.

All I see is a company playing fast and loose with the specs, and their marketing people not understanding why SMR would not be fit for purpose. I would bet WD doesn't have a US-based tech team making those low-level decisions. They probably outsource all of it to their contract manufacturers that make the actual drives. And since the CM isn't responsible for marketing, they were like "you can save $5.00 per drive if you use this new recording technology." The marketing people have no idea what the trade offs are and the CM doesn't care.

Then 2 years later when the first batch of these drives start failing, the marketing person who made the original decision isn't there, the CM doesn't have any record of any of the conversations, and nobody has any idea what's going on. So in a bid to try to manage the conversation without actually knowing anything their marketing people release that first blog article.

Then the customer outcry happens, people threaten to pull blanket POs, and finally the marketer realizes they have to do some real work because it's not just the angry grognard brigade making noise.

Most modern companies that sell commodity electronics work this way.

Are there any online versions of the card games Mao, Golf, or Lucky Bastard/Karma? I’ve been considering making some sort of card game simulator that supports those because I haven’t found a good 1) website that 2) works across screen sizes and 3) enforces play order. http://playingcards.io/ is the closest I have seen.
Yes. For another variation, lightly roast the cauli instead of boiling it, before combining it with the cheese sauce.
Difference is you don't have to continuously maintain a movie after release (except probably multiple sequels)

You still have to maintain software after release, and it's forever.

This isn't really surprising in a country where saving face, social standing and collectivism is everything. Other horrible consequences of these deeply embedded social systems are "evaporated people" [0][1] and the terrible treatment of single parents [2][3].

This debate has happened in the video game world many years ago (and I'm sure is still ongoing in some circles), but most people arrived at a very simple but counterintuitive solution:

A "video game" is not the same as a game.

You can have definitions of games, toys, events, etc, but "video game" encompasses all of them.

Once it's digital and has some kind of interactivity, the only thing that matters is whether the author has defined it as a "video game". That's it.
This is a good cheap alternative: https://www.amazon.com/Breville-Crispy-Crust-Pizza-BREBPZ600... It looks like it might be discontinued although there is a similar one by another brand on amazon. Its major drawback is its only good for a pizza as large as 10-12 inches and if your pizza gets a large high bubble it can touch the upper element. I have made much better pizza with it then my standard kitchen oven. I do want to build a brick oven in the backyard when I get a chance some day though.
> He beat a Clinton in a race for president - that's no mean feat.

> But then he does things like this that reveal he's actually a bit on the dumb side.

The second thing is part of the reason he achieved the first thing. His smarts is knowing what sells to his base, and what consolidates them.

Part of that is saying "dumb" or offensive stuff, with a lining of rhetoric that echoes with their anxieties.
> A lot of countries are spending a lot of money to reverse that sentiment right now. Yes, they are currently expensive, but blaming people for having children isn't going to fix anything.

I think it's more about why people blame the government or society for the economic ramifications of this choice.
You see this frequently on HN, where the president says something completely insane and lo and behold there's some obscure article on the front page supporting him.
Ah I was thinking about "keep things allocated where they were before, but try to dynamically dispatch implementation code, to avoid compiling it N different times." It sounds like you're talking about "heap allocate everything by default." If everything was implicitly boxed, no type could be `Copy`, right? Is that strategy possible without breaking existing code?
Yeah, but now is the time to push it out with zero repercussions because western workers will gladly take it lying down.
Ok, you're right, I didn't notice that sentence. We'll see... :)
This is not a machine that normally does one thing, but in an exceptional case fails and does something else. We're talking about a system that in normal operation, during steady state, does X and has outcome Y. That is its purpose.
> Through this lens, apologizing for bugs may seem innocuous. But it contributes to a bunch of cultural anti-patterns:

> * If you’re a more senior engineer on your team, the effects of these anti-patterns are magnified: people see you apologizing for bugs, so they think that they should be striving to write bug-free code.

Imagine writing this. Imagine actually sitting down at your keyboard and writing down that people should not be striving to write bug-free code.
I had this fetishism about neopolitan pizzas for a while despite having never actually tried one. Mostly due to reading a lot of what Kenji-Lopez and others wrote on the web.

There's an annual pizza festival in the summer i nBoston, which brings a lot of Italians with their stone ovens making neopolitan pies. So I went there and finally got to try neopolitan pies which according to pizza aficionados are supposedly really good.

Man, I was in for a ride. Just not my taste. I'll admit that I may be a charlatan or have a pedestrian palate, but I can say now I'll prefer a slice of NY pie over an authentic neopolitan pie any day of the week.
The comparison to carbonara keeps coming up, but I don't really get it. Cheese is a component of carbonara, but it's as much about cured pork and egg. And the cheese is a salty and acidic sheep's milk cheese, nothing like varieties typically used in mac & cheese.

Edit: also long vs. short noodles. There's really no commonalities between the two besides the inclusion of noodles and cheese, which applies to probably hundreds of dishes.

I was about to make a joke that it looked like they could go about another 69.8%. Now I'm glad I waited.

What does that even signify, a federal bank owning >100% of its attached country's GDP? Debt in excess of produced value, i.e., the country being underwater?
For additional context, other Socratic schools like Stoicism are also virtue-ethical schools. For folks who are looking for a very specific rule to a life situation, virtue ethics can feel too ambiguous, but for someone like myself, who believes that life is extremely contextual and there can be a lot of legitimate variation in responding to something, Virtue Ethics is wonderfully nuanced and flexible.

I for one really appreciate the renewed attention to ethics in recent decades from philosophers. It's a reorientation to one of the oldest purposes of philosophy -- to teach us how to live well.
Which is precisely I was surprised when Western Digital's initial response didn't include a list like this one.

From my perspective as a consumer, WD has turned a disaster into an advantage. I now know that WD drives will disclose which technology they use—just like I know that Apple will bend over backwards to not secretly throttle battery performance. I can't say as much for other manufacturers.
The voices with common sense are removed vertically and horizontally in the organizational structure.

Concrete example: The compliance department in a different country mandates that all passwords must be salted (great) and use modern hash algorithms from a whitelist. That whitelist consisted mostly they sha2 and ripemd family. We were using bcrypt to hash passwords, which is an actual password hashing algorithm instead of a general-purpose hashing algorithm. Since we were organizationally so far removed from the compliance department even escalating the issue several management levels had no effect other than being told "compliance is important, don't waste time on meetings about this, just change it" and "this is not a hill to die on". So we worked around this by using scrypt instead (which is not in the whitelist but based on a hash in the whitelist) but the asinine policy is still in place because it was considered too much effort to get them to change it. Of course the next team that wants to implement a web service with passwords will face the very same issue and may take them by their word and use SHA2 directly. Great success.
Understanding the probabilities of independent events is a different thing than identifying them.

It is very common for engineering projects to encounter problems caused by an issue which was understood but was not identified. Most engineering failures fall into this category. Humans simply make mistakes.
> Given his mention of disinfectants at the same time, it's far more likely they just told him how they disinfect surfaces like doorknobs and countertops and he ran with it.

I mean even if UBI and/or ozonetherapy don't work at all and are wildly dangerous, at least Trump knew what they were, which makes him smarter than everyone posting about how they don't even know what he's talking about.
If you have a VM that processes opcodes and has no way of (a) adding opcodes to the end or (b) moving backwards in the stream, it won't be Turing complete.

I've used a scripting system for a server that was intentionally written this way to bound the harm a misbehaving script could have on the server.

Good to know on Rsync - my understanding was that it was unencrypted, which is true, but almost always is used in conjunction with SSH. You're right :)

What do these "groups" hope to achieve by crippling the healthcare system? Do they want to keep Coronavirus off their turf by driving healthcare workers of their turf or something else? These people are normally rational. Some piece of context is missing.
Everything exists in an economic context. Errors in plumbing, dentistry, and electrical work can result in thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage, and they often can't roll out a fix in a matter of hours. Some software bugs can also result in lots of damage (financial/health data security, etc), and we do take those bugs seriously via compliance (although compliance isn't a guarantee for good software just like it's not a guarantee for good dentistry). But no one is going to pay for the effort required to perfect every software release, nor should they.
This. Human success is much more attributable to our social instincts than it is to our capacity for reason. As an individual, your survival chances were much greater if you were part of a group than on your own, even if that group was highly irrational. For the most part, it is better to believe in imaginary gods as part of a group, than to believe in science and be on your own.
He didn't say using light or disinfectants were "promising". Please don't make me defend Trump, because I hate him, but I hate misinformation more. He suggested it might be possible, but clearly he was off script and had no idea what he was talking about and just making conversation, something that a president should not do. He shouldn't have said anything, but he didn't say it was "promising".

Yeah, this is kinda the cost of not having an encode/decode step. The Haskell implementation (of which I am the primary author) provides a higher-level API with "normal" data types for cases where performance requirements aren't stringent enough to merit the extra burden on the developer. I'm mostly interested in RPC, so I rarely use the low-level API myself...
That was extremely rude and condescending.
I do miss cars designed by coach builders. Bertone and Pininfarina have some beautiful designs. But, I think it comes down to a few questions: How much are you willing to pay? Will these custom coaches pass your local regulations?

You seem to have the chronology all mixed up here. Medfield came out in 2012. The A9 came out in 2015. Apple was already designing its own chips in 2012. (The A4 came out in 2010.)
Sure. But San Jose's median household income is almost double that of the US as a whole. Is its COL double than national average? I don't believe it is.
Ok, I listened to Bill Bryan's prior comments again, and I still do not understand what President Trump was saying if not suggesting using light and disinfectants inside the human body. Bill Bryan was obviously not using the word "inject" to refer to injecting anything into the human body, but it certainly sounds like President Trump was ("inside the body", "through the skin"?)
