Because they compared governors to Hitler and their plight to how Jews were persecuted during the Holocaust. They also lynched an effigy of a politician they despised. That is why they were the crazy ones.
How do you solve this?
Sorry, I didn’t intend for my comment to advise moving “up” into management.

It is about maintaining an open mind. How can you tell the difference between someone who has valuable 3_048 metre advice versus someone who has highly negative value at 3km?

I have remained in a developers rôle for my working life so far.

I wish I could find the anecdote where this guy recognised that this one woman was always on successful projects within a business. He didn’t know what she did, but he recognised that if she was involved then somehow the project was successful (I think surprising him because many software projects fail). I wonder why he didn’t ask her what her secret was? At least he was open minded enough to see she had some magic, even if he couldn’t directly learn her presumed skill.

Thanks for reply - I’m still working on my own blindnesses - I can say trying to be non-judgemental and looking for hidden skills in others has really helped me.
Books are awesome and somewhat under-appreciated piece of knowledge today. Many people prefer to lurk around blogs, documentation, tutorials for some technology, but I always trying to find a book from some reputable author. It does not always exist, but often it does exists and it's much better way to learn a technology. It might take a bit more time, because usually books present information in a more thorough way so you need to work from basics rather than copy-pasting some code and call it a day. But in the end it's worth time spent.
>Is your life really what you want?

Not really, you are right. Those things are culturally superimposed on a great extent.

>You can make art, draw, musik, sing, dance, sport, research.

Besides sport and research, which I basically practice daily, it's been ages since I last danced/sang/played an instrument. Let alone drawing and art :) Are you suggesting that I can find meaning by adding some of those to my weeks/days? It can be an improvement, but I don't feel it like a silver bullet.

> Love what you do

This sounds very cliche to me. Some day I'm loving programming, other days it feels like painful uselessness. The same applies to everything. "what I do" changes often, and so does the love I feel while doing it.
This.

Complicated and difficult is absolutely the correct analysis.

No country really holds any monopoly on fairness and justice.

These debated often turn into... well this nation has this problem, and that nation has that problem.

But the bigger problem is there simply has never been a way to structure a government that fixes all its citizens problems.

Protests all over the world prove this.

How many of the world's countries haven't had major protests in the last 5 years covering some sort of injustice -- whether perceived or real?

Nevertheless, the below article may provide a glimmer of hope -- especially the paragraphs under the last sub-heading.

But within context of a tutorial, anything less than flawless is not worthy of inclusion (making it binary in this case). IMO, any content aimed for beginners should be flawless.

Beyond introductory material, it's a trade off of complexity and time as it's hard to compress the factors needed to demonstrate anything technical.
> Obviously the people who write for fb or airbnb or netflix might well be professional tech bloggers or people in tech-leadership positions that tell other people how to do the work.

Not usually. Usually the way it works is the person who wrote the code and developed the technology decides to write a blog post about it and then writes it. Then they pass it around to their peers and other leadership for comments and edits.

Then, at least at Netflix, the next step was usually to publish it yourself on the tech blog. Sometimes if it was a big new tech it might get reviewed by PR or legal but not often.

At the other tech companies I don't know what their process is after that.

But what I do know is that I know a lot of those authors personally and they are definitely implementers.
Someone should create that chart with ‘Lawful Good Dunning Kruger Expert’, ‘Chaotic Dunning Kruger Expert’, etc, since I need to know where I fit.
I am big (closet?) fan of Farnam street blog and came across it many years ago as it was connected to munger and buffet (who I still remain a fan of). The funny thing is I know FS has good content and I subscribe to the free newsletters for years now but I have never really read them except for the occasional one here and there. They just go into a special folder with my hopes that I will get to it and I don’t want to lose out (fomo!). What follows may be poorly articulated but will try anyway as I could use help with this.

I don’t read FS cos I feel like I need to spend proper time behind it to read and learn what is has to share. It’s like studying read it and then perhaps take some notes and keep them handy to reference later. Then on top of this it has so many articles I feel I have no strategy to keep up. And then there is the whole when will I really use it if I need to go look it up / reference it In order to use it. This whole approach sounds twisted to me. And as someone on this thread said it’s essentially me learning how to think Which may be subconsciously tells me I am bad at thinking. I can say thst for the last decade i feel like I am on a quest to improve myself so that then I can be “smart”. In a way this had lead for me for the last decade or so to pursue reading / finding content on the web (largely through ask hn and the likes) that is about optimizing or making myself better. And I find that I have consumed a lot but may have not really realized it’s gains from a career or other tangible perspective.

Is anybody else in a similar boat? Sometimes I feel these are all time wasters disguised as things that can be helpful. May be a better approach is to just do things and then when you are stuck on a problem then go consult there types of sites to see if they have a solution to your problem. In that is where real growth might happen. I feel like the approach I current have is the other way around - let me find all the “general solutions” and (become “smarter” ) and then apply it to whatever I do.

Am I wrong here in think thst is whole chasing after self improvement is a real discretion from doing real things thst will actually make me “smarter”?
A lot of times I middle click any interesting links I find on Google, in which case it becomes hard for Google to know if I unvisited a site. It's not like they can track me clicking the Back button on my browser and arriving back to the search results
First time i hear about this project and i love it.

I often talk with a friend who's an historian, and that makes me realize how our relationship with time, as an industry, is extremely short sighted.

The internet archive is an immensely valuable project, as well as all the websites archiving old documentation, etc. But i don't think a lot of people realize the value of things they're destroying everytime they execute a delete statement in a DB or a filesystem.

This Collapse OS ambition to be able to "bootstrap" something useful over any kind of primitive hardware and sustain the passage of time ( or catastrophic event) may have an immense value in the future.
How is this different from what I'm describing?

"New" and "current" are two different versions.
Every thing you read needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Always look back in the history to see if the same problem came up and how some one solved it. If you can find it, use it. Only by using some existing solution you can find faults if any and improvise. The write about that. This cycle will keep going on. Thats how we have evolved. There is no BS, it is just how they solved it

I love all recent moves done by social media giants and I hope that they will continue along this path - it's just boring when only selected type of content and opinion is allowed. Some people will be able to perceive that published content is complaisant, inhonest artificial facade and will look around for other communication solutions.

Function of their job or not, the point is that the people who are implementing the technology are the ones writing about it. The "doers" are also doing the writing.

Ask HN: Seeking technical Co-Founder to solve industry-specific problems
- I'm building a solution to solve industry-specific problems for a trillion$+ market (Foodservice)

- Current tech solutions in this market are subpar and ripe for disruption

- I have a prototype built (using NodeJS, Express) and highly interested beta-users, but am open to alternative stacks

- I'd like to focus on marketing, selling, BD, user research and UX (possibly frontend) if I find someone to focus on the tech side

- I have solid industry knowledge, deep connections within, and know who to sell to

- The app should generalize really well to other industries. (It allows users to build highly custom business web-apps without code)

- My background is primarily in engineering (startups), with some research, finance, VC and operations experiences sprinkled in. Top-10 Uni. bachelor's and master's

Please email me if interested: vcinv10@gmail.com A description of your technical background would be super helpful as well!
What is your point here?

If you are saying that you need to practice and find methods that work for you after being taught by Messi, you could apply the same concept to thinking. Sports, like most other things, consist of both a theoretical and practical aspect. Getting Messi to teach you the theoretical side of the sport should not be seen as a replacement for practicing the sport itself, and the same can be said for thinking.
I went to the landing page and I dont immediately know what this service does or why I should buy it.
Suggestion 1: Look at some copywriting tutorials and implement those lessons on your page copy.
Suggestion 2: Dont hide behind 'Us'. Who are you? At the early stage, your personal story is important. When I click 'about us', I get sent to #Deliverable. Which is not what I'm looking for.
Suggestion 3: Show me, don't tell me. Let me download an example from a well-known book of how you took the lessons and injected real-world applicability.

Hope this helps.
The key is to encrypt the entire drive, then lightly overwrite all ones in the volume with zeros in one pass, such that with some forensic tools you can deduce if the original bit was previously 1. When you want to access the data, you set those bits back to one, then decrypt the drive with the original encryption algorithm.

The first two bits (or any two bits you want really, it’s just convention to use the first two) on the volume must always be 0 and 1. First write both bits to 0 hard multiple times, then write the second bit to 1 and lightly write it to zero. These two bits will serve as a control for the forensic tool to determine the difference between a hard zero and a soft zero, and thus figure out the rest of your volume.

If an unknowing person simply looks at the drive by regular software means, the computer will simply show a drive of all zeros.
I’m super interested in this project, where can I see more?

I find very few books to be thorough. If you find books that contradicts itself, then the author doesn't know what he is talking about. A good reference point for a good book IMO
"Now, literally everyone is trying to do SEO and use lots of words in articles, kind of creating content, but in reality copying from someone else and modifying a little and trying to get lots (of) back links."

That's the real problem. There is a market for short-form clickbait crap. One can make a living writing that. There is not much of a market for long-form accurate technical material.

I don't have time to find the better examples, but this is one Musk has talked about for many years:

What's interesting, and I didn't know this until I scanned this article, is that Reed Hastings also uses a First Principles approach. I mentioned my stock picks got better. I bought TSLA in 2012 and NFLX in 2013.

For Paul Graham, his body of essays is a great source for how he thinks through problem solving in general, and he takes on more than just science or tech related topics:

http://www.paulgraham.com/articles.html

Since you mentioned Warren Buffet, any of his annual shareholder letters is a good source:

https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/letters.html

He's a sample from 2009:

"From the start, Charlie and I have believed in having a rational and unbending standard for measuring what we have – or have not – accomplished. That keeps us from the temptation of seeing where the arrow of performance lands and then painting the bull’s eye around it."
Agreed, the schools were not well-prepared for this style of learning and so it has not been particularly effective. We still participate with our kids' classes and teachers, but we rely on Khan Academy, augmented by Adventure Academy, among other things. Even so, we are not professional teachers, so I look forward to them returning to class next year.

>Guidelines suggest aiming rubber bullets at legs or bouncing them off the ground to reduce their impact

How can they be serious with giving a guide line such as bouncing it off of the ground to hit an intended target as a means of harm reduction. This sounds absurd no?
> landing it by catching it using a small hook at the tail of the plane isn't that common I presume.

A lot of military drones have a hook at the end of one wing, and they hang a vertical wire under tension from a boom arm, with a differential gps receiver at the top of the wire. Ends up it's all accurate enough for the drone to catch the wire. I presume zipline went with their more complex approach as wings strong enough to just snag and stop would be past their weight limits.
How does Starlink fit into this scenario?
You know, at some level, that the discoveries he made, the math he did, the thought process he used, was effortless.

Probably in the same way that a great athlete makes something look effortless. It takes years and years of dedicated practice and love to make it "effortless."
> Brendan Gregg is a professional tech author.

He gets paid to write, yes, but that doesn't mean he's not also an engineer. I've worked with him, he does quite a lot of heavy engineering and then writes about it. His writing is so good sometimes he gets paid for it.

But OP said that tech blogs aren't written by implementers, and that's not at all true.
I’m not an expert in mobile CPU’s, but I know that those benchmarks are server benchmarks and aren’t designed for a mobile use case.

Mobile CPUs usually have low power and high performance modes, and aggressively shed power loads when idle. I’m not sure what benchmark is appropriate, but I wouldn’t draw much from that one.
Or edge cases that the book might not cover.
The key point: "But more importantly, their (old technology) failure modes are well understood."
Why. What’s the risk? An over heated economy? Inflation and wage growth? Sounds what the world actually needs after years in a liquidity trap.

Actually the fed should ignore political pressure to do less.
Sure, but again, not sure how that disproves that the doers are the ones writing about the tech.
Can any class of "data with ECC" be made indistinguishable from random data, excepting obscurity?
Ok, this is a very good reply and feedback. I am not even sure I am fully grasping it at the moment. I will get back after I watched the video. But it seems like you read between the lines pretty well.

>enmesh yourself for a few weeks or months in all the possible paths you could focus yourself on

Can you expand a bit on this? Maybe provide some examples...

Because sometimes with the "pocking around, keeping myself busy, ..." I do have the illusion I am exploring some paths. In a very shallow way
My (mixed income but weighted towards wealthy) community schools did excellent remote instruction, and at no time have I seen academic rigor reduced or compromised. I wonder if this is the educational equivalent of needing a product pivot and just totally doing the same thing, just with a different hat on.
When I joined Puppet Labs they had the best process I've come across (I'm a consultant so I've been onboarded several dozen times over the past 20 years).

Day 1:
* I wake from a good nights sleep having flown into PDX two days before to allow for Jetlag to clear.
* A shiny new laptop (It was a MacBook Pro because I didn't think to ask for a ThinkPad).
* All my accounts and access are already setup.
* Someone assigned as my buddy to help me navigate, but the whole team made an effort.
* A wiki article about starting that clearly laid out the expectations for my first day and first two weeks.
* A puppet repository to setup my MBP for the work I was doing. One command everything installed and ready to go.
* Met with other new starters and run through HR and other policies.

First two weeks:
From the wiki article I knew what I needed to organise including:
* Meeting key people around the business.
* Doing a demo to show I understood the product.
* Staff photo
* Organising cadence for return to head office for training and team socialising.
The lockdown itself carries significant public health risks. There’s a Reuter’s article [1] which gives a high level overview, but I’m still looking for a good scientific paper with dollar and lost person-years of lifespan estimates from all the direct and indirect side-effects of the lockdown.

IMO once policy makers start picking and choosing preferred causes which are more worthy than the lockdown, then the lockdown is effectively over.

I am hopeful that we won’t see a large spike in cases in the coming weeks, and perhaps this can serve as a datapoint that we can continue opening up more broadly.

In the meantime we have massive groups in close proximity, often chanting/yelling for long periods of time which the data indicates is a very high risk environment. A homemade mask is not going to provide reliable protection while protesting for hours with thousands of people. Stop once to sip a bottle of water and that barrier is compromised.

If asymptomatic spread of a deadly pathogen leads to the conclusion that we must be social distancing, then mass protests are deadly, and not just to the protestors themselves. Likewise, if it’s OK for people to mass protest, then it’s OK for people to go to church, for example.

Picking and choosing which social or political topics are deemed worthy of mass gatherings to me is unconscionable.

Your losses may be capped but you have to risk a lot more money more often with options to make decent profit. No thanks.
I'm kind of sick of myself, honestly.
It was a non-stop shitfest of buggy encryption and broken UX last I tried. A group of us tried using it for a bit and gave up because we kept losing messages, couldn't figure out which messages were "secure" in various ways, and had confusing horizon effects where only some people could see some messages.

That was a couple months ago. Maybe it has improved massively since then? I guess I'll try it again later this year.
Does that Bookmarklet work for others? Seems to do nothing for me in Firefox.
I would hesitate nowadays to call the UK's Telegraph titles (Daily and Sunday) credible news sources; both have been going downhill since their acquisition in 2004 by the Barclay Brothers. Many fine journalists felt their standards so compromised under the Barclay regime that they quit. One prominent resignation was that of Peter Oborne in 2015; see his personal statement [1] and BBC article [2].

(Disclosure: I was a journalist for the Telegraph Group for seven years until 2001, when I left to take a senior position at an online financial news and share-trading start-up. I remain in contact with many former colleagues from the Telegraph and other Fleet Street titles.]

Quick question about findka, Is the idea to only upvote/downvote things you have actually experienced and liked or dislike, or do you also upvote/downvote things you don't know but like or dislike?

I would think the first case would result in way better data (which is why (I think) last.fm recommendation system is so good), but the latter case seems to be the natural thing to do, humans love to judge shit without actually engaging with stuff.
