There is another big advantage that aggregators have; I only have to enter my address and payment info once, and can order from a ton of restaurants. It can save all my orders from lots of places so I can reorder. It can find all the places that deliver to my address.
That is a direct quote from the article in Wikipedia which refers to Feynman's popular book "The character of the physical law". In that book Feynman DID NOT claim that the theory of Quantum Mechanics implies the PLA for classical mechanics, relativity or EM. The closest statement Feynman wrote in that book is this: "In fact it turns out that in quantum mechanics neither is right in exactly the way I have stated them, but the fact that a minimum principle exists turns out to be a consequence of the fact that on a small scale particles obey quantum mechanics." This is a very different statement and it shows a misunderstanding from the Wikipedia editor (and it seems you too). Here Feynman explicitly claims that the fact that there is a PLA in QM is a consequence of small particles obeying QM , that is , they are equivalent.Same way as the fact that particles obey Newton's Laws imply the existence of a principle of least action in classical mechanics, as formulated originally by Lagrange.

> Maybe I'm very cynical, but I think almost anybody would cheat if it was made easy enough and they were given the chance.

This attitude is so strange to me. I would assume that cheaters are a minority of students. (Perhaps a large minority, sadly. I've heard some third-hand stories.)

My school had a policy of an automatic 9 month suspension for a first offense. Professors were officially discouraged from exercising any discretion, and they were supposed to report all incidents to the disciplinary committee. For a second offense, the penalty was a permanent expulsion. I did see the system fail a few times when I was there, but it worked a lot of the time.
Not having a lockdown would not have avoided economic devastation.

As pretty much every data point shows, in the US, the drastic drop off of economic activity happened well before the actual lockdowns. States saw drops in economic activity in the days leading to lockdowns that was 80-90% as much as the drop that happened during the lockdown.

So the trade off wasn’t COVID deaths and a better economy, vs fewer COVID deaths and a worse economy. The trade off was a lot of COVID deaths, potentially triggering devastating cliffs, and a terrible economy, or fewer COVID deaths, and a slightly more terrible economy.
And if it helps understand the ecosystem and its seeking oddness, this is the crucial part of article:

"Implementing ERP isn’t just a purchasing decision: it’s committing to redoing how you handle operations. Installing the software is the easy part; adjusting the whole company’s workflow is the most of the work."

Don't think of erp and implementing it as a software development challenge. Sure, Developers can fscrew up*, an erp implementation but they cannot make it succeed - it is fundamentally a business transformation endeavour and must be undertaken as such to have a chance.
I'm not super convinced. Most people have never been given the chance to adapt to full-time remote work. And there are many ways to have "hallway conversations."

A lot of people are probably more creative in a textual medium or even talking on the phone where they can't be overheard (I hate the feeling I might be distracting someone).

I wouldn't be surprised if the office squelches a lot of creativity. Of course, it all depends on the office environment and individuals.

> I want them to bring it to my car, then I can unlock my trunk, and they can place it inside and close it.

That's a little excessive given there are lots of customers and only a handful of restaurant workers.

What I have seen restaurants do is that they put your food on the tables (which are idle anyway) with a number. If you tell them who you are when you walk in, they tell you the number and you can pick it up without interacting with people.
If it were about business, they would be funding testing.

Knowing who can safely go back to work gets your economy open faster than blindly just flipping the switch like they’re doing now.
Just being retired is good enough for me.

I work for a Fortune 150 manufacturing company. When I started working here there was no IT group at all (it was all outsourced). The CEO and President said many times that we were not a software/technology company and that would never be a core focus. Nearly 2 decades later, technology is now listed as number 2 of our top 5 core focus. We are working on converting all contractors into full time employees. The IT group is no longer outsourced and takes up 20-30 buildings, out of 80 buildings on campus. We are still a manufacturing company, but software (websites) has become a huge part of the company with thousands of employees working on it.

once you have people working from home, or teams spread over multiple locations then any offline communication becomes a problem because the remote people are excluded. interteam communication is not an officelayout problem but a company communication culture problem.

changing the office layout may be one approach to address the problem, but it may not always make the problem go away.
Badly, which is why we have a totally different approach in the form of RN, Flutter etc. The concept of cross platform support wasn't the problem, that's what we're chasing for a reason.

Having used both Hammerspoon and AHK, the latter is somehow both terser and more ergonomic. I miss it dearly when I'm not on Windows.

And I actually use caps lock as a "fn" key for hjkl/arrows. Who needs caps lock, really?

I've actually gone kind of crazy with this idea and made my left ctrl, shift and alt behave as fn+ctrl, fn+shift and fn+alt, so that e.g. left ctrl+h actually does ctrl+left. Then I made fn+[ = pgup, fn+] = pgdn, fn+; = home, fn+' = end and fn+\ = delete, with the same augmented fn+LHS modifiers.

Took me about a week for the muscle memory to catch up and allow me to correctly hit ctrl+L with the right hand when I want to go to the address bar, but now I'm ridiculously fast moving around in Excel without having to touch the arrow keys.

Only downside is I have a relatively problematic left wrist and this set up added to the already LHS stress to the already very imbalanced qwerty layout, so it forced me off mechanical keyboards to a low profile logitech right around the time COVID-19 hit.

Yakuza series has great substories. It's easy to forget about the main story and explore the city instead. The healing disappears precisely when the game starts demanding stuff like high scores. It suddenly ceases to be a stress-free experience when the player is required to achieve a 95% score in a karaoke rhythm game.
I doubt that 'will', as it is commonly conceived, has any meaning, or at least a very different one, for a non-conscious agent. It's similar to the way i think IIS is clouding rather than clarifying the issue. For related reasons, I feel that compatibilist positions on the issue are largely avoiding it.

FAANG doesn't determine salaries based on cost of living, but cost of labor, which maps to your concept of "competition density".

There is no rational reason for Google to pay bay area salaries for Indiana employees - will they really say no if Google offers 300K instead of the 500K they would get in the bay area? Sure, the person could reject it to make a statement, but most people would gladly take a salary that would buy them a small castle.

All FAANG needs to do is to beat local salaries by a significant margin to get well qualified employees - that would still make these people WAY cheaper than bay area employees.
I mean really you already nailed it on the "anyone can clean a toilet or cook a burger". This is only from my own experience working in a chain restaurant kitchen, but to a pretty high level. You don't need to be a great chef or anything to be a standard line cook, even if you don't know how to cook they can teach you in one or two training days, everything is timed to the second and all the equipment beeps to let you know when it's done. I was 18 at the time with no experience, my interview was "what days can you work, and are you comfortable staying until the bar closes" and for every one of me there were 30 people ready to take over when someone quit, including high school kids and people fresh out of jail without many other options.
I spoke to a guy recently who works for a company doing $300 million revenue/year as a wholesale distributor of internet networking equipment (think finger optic cables and equipment for housing them underground). Their customers are the ISPs.

That’s pretty dismissive. I work at a company with ~80B in revenue, I never interacted or heard of SAP in work context. In fact it is only incidentally that I’ve heard of them previously. There are hundred of thousands of engineers working in companies with 10-11 digit capitalizations that will never interact or hear about SAP.

Edit: to clarify because I am getting a bunch of downvotes. My point is not about SAP’s penetration, it is that lots of engineers (even in companies that use SAP) might not encounter SAP products. The perspective “of you haven’t worked with SAP you are in a small org” is wrong.

One possible regulation that should resonate with the HN crowd would be a real form of due process or arbitration for users who have been censored. If platforms like Facebook are going to be the universal arbiters of acceptable public speech, then we ought to have formal recourse when they silence us.

Depends on you role and where you are in the ladder.

In my experiences, all the big decisions are already made before scheduled meetings take place. Spontaneous one on ones, hall way chats, coffee walks, etc are where those discussions are made, and very often meetings are just an official "let's get everyone on the same page for the record" exercise.
in a 100 people room there will always be people walking around. what an open office does is to train people to ignore the noise around them (pity those that can't adjust). you'll see people walking by and you'll ignore them. in a team room, if someone enters, you know that it's for the team, and everyone will perk up to see what the 'intruder' wants.

To add some context (for your curiosity), I'm not in The Valley and I'd never worked at a true "startup" until very recently, but I have only ever worked at small (<100 people) companies. Except, that is, for the summer I interned at Hewlett-Packard. Not sure how it never came up there; maybe they just have their own equivalent system.

I had actually heard the name SAP come up in passing at my last company, who had lots of ginormous clients. But all I'd really gathered before reading the article was "it's some kind of database, or something".

I was lucky to spend my childhood and college years in peer groups where cheating was incomprehensible. Nobody would cheat in a math competition, for instance. That would just be a loud, lame declaration of stupidity.

When I went to the other side and started having to enforce the rules, I realized that while the top decile could be trusted, everybody else was suspect, and enforcement of the rules was incredibly hard. What do you do when you grade a string of tests containing the exact same silly mistakes? What about a group of students that suddenly jumps to high performance on one exam and then immediately crashes back down? Remote proctoring is even harder. I once saw a student fabricate an entire school with the aid of his parents, complete with website, address, and fake teacher information, so he and his parents could do the exam together. How are you supposed to vet hundreds or thousands of people like this?

I really hope that I get a faculty position where I can just teach low-pressure graduate-level seminars, and never have to learn the answer. Mass education is damn hard.

> Would they get in trouble when someone used an automation tool that submitted hundreds of thousands of empty or even worse completely incorrect records, with no reconciliation plan?

As I said in my comments above, it's a question of who owns the data. In general, other than things like financial information and HR records, IT does not own the data in our company. They provide lots of services (version control, Jira boards, etc). They often are responsible for backing them up at a specified interval (daily, etc). And they are responsible for configuring them to be secure (which may involve shutting off APIs). But they don't own whether someone can write a script to automate clicking on fields, etc.

They don't own the data and outside of the agreed backup are not responsible for it. They absolutely would not get in trouble if someone automated something that destroyed that data. The policy is "We provide the service, but you are responsible for what goes into it and how." They do not need to see that we've vetted people's scripts for bugs, etc. They expect us to be responsible. If the data is lost, we will be in trouble, not them.

If IT was responsible for every database, Jira board, etc in the company beyond their regular backup, little work would be done. It's a huge company, and we cannot have one org be a bottleneck.

At times they do need to put some restrictions, but even in those cases, the department is free to get their own hardware and run their own database/JIRA board/whatever. There are a few security requirements to hook it up to the network, but IT will not get in our way if we set up our own Jira board/DB. They'll just tell us that we are responsible for backing things up nor will they provide support if we break things.

This is why my company has lots of pseudo-IT teams across departments. The company wide IT is responsible for the big things. The smaller pseudo-IT teams exist to be more flexible and not be constrained. They don't exist in defiance of IT - IT actually endorses it.

> I've seen groups lose hundreds of millions of dollars when one of these excel vbscript python enthusiast AHK things go off the rails.

But why is IT responsible for it? Perhaps in your company this is in their purview, but not in ours. And I'd argue that it shouldn't be. IT cannot go into every org and police what VBA scripts people use, and if they did they'd likely do more harm than good. While you may have seen losses of hundreds of millions of dollars, I'm pretty sure the gains from Excel VBA scripts is much, much more.

> Edit to say, it sounds like you work at a company with <500 engineers, maybe even <500 employees total.

Nope. Well over 50K employees, with over 60% of them being engineers. Likely the top company in the field we're in.

No one has answered my question that I brought up several times: If I can write my own program to do it, should they ban compilers as well? I'm sorry but whatever damage a VB script can do can also be done by C#. Should we ban Visual Studio?
And was that a FAAMNG? Presumably the larger, "new-wave" tech companies roll their own solutions of some kind

There's been a few occasions where I've found an interesting article on Fox News and I won't share or link it here or on Reddit, because I know that the bias is so strong against Fox as an organization that few people would consume the content with an open mind. So I go and track down another outlet covering the same story and link that instead. I'm sure other members here do the same sort of self-censorship, essentially. That's part of why you'll see 6000 submissions from NYT and only 90 from Fox.

I'm a little bit curious here. My understanding is that the wave function has complex values and the "state" is described by the wave function times its complex conjugate.
