I guess the reason is that some kids are so bright that schools would compete for them, most kids are average and the schools would compete for the vouchers, but... there are some kids everyone wants to avoid. For example, that kind that will stab their classmate the moment they get their hands on something sharp (and will find a creative solution even if all objects at school are perfectly soft and spherical). Maybe one percent of population are psychopaths, and they are all kids before they become adults.

In other words, I would love to see a school system based on free association, but what about the kids no one wants to associate with? If you make the system such that one type of school can freely accept or reject students, but the other type must accept everyone, you just increased the density of the problematic kids in the second type of school, which creates a positive feedback loop because now more parents want to take their kids away from there.

Yet another problem is that the density of population is different in different places. In a big city, you can have dozen schools in a walking distance, so it is easy to choose. Then you have places where choosing another school would require an hour of travel, so people would be quite angry if their child is rejected. Should we have different rules for different places?

There are many great ideas, but it is difficult to set up the entire system so that none of its parts explodes. And sometimes removing pressure from one place means adding it to another.
Almost all those transistors are in a nice little package. Using transistor count isn’t really a good way to define a devices serviceable complexity. People repair phones all the time, it just requires the knowledge to do so.
It reminds me of Taleb’s Extremeistan vs Mediocristan. I think it was in Fooled by Randomness.

For police the danger comes in spikes with mostly non-dangerous work. For a lumberjack the danger is evenly distributed.

So I think for police, it’s the constant low probability of great danger.

Somewhat tautologically, by doing due diligence over and over.

Take your former company for example. You see a couple examples of how they operate, but it does seem like frugality is an operating principle they hold dear. Is this a pennywise pound foolish mentality, or is it a mentality that follows from attempting to use resources efficiently to accomplish tasks and reduce waste?

Take a look at the latter. The CEO makes a bold proclamation about the future; is he a visionary who anticipates the unmet needs of the present that will served by the future, or is he being opinionated for its own sake?

Unfortunately, there isn't really enough information here to make a decision one way or another. You have to drill down both above and below to figure out what the company's overall story to their investors is. And you have to consider yourself one of them. You will be investing your time and your opportunity cost into them. Do you feel sufficiently sold? Always be asking this.

Not sure what the status is today, but 2015 the answer was no on Intel:

https://www.electronicsweekly.com/news/business/finance/arm-...

"The company has seven publicly announced 64-bit architectural licensees: Applied Micro, Broadcom, Cavium, Apple, Huawei, Nvidia, AMD and Samsung. It also has another seven publicly announced 32-bit architectural licensees, of which five – Marvell, Microsoft, Qualcomm, Intel and Faraday – do not have a 64-bit licence."
but police are also cultivated for uh, "higher personal characteristics," like the ability to follow unethical orders and kill brown people. So yea, just like the military.
Enlisted-class does not mean uneducated or unskilled (in fact the skill is usually concentrated in senior enlisted and warrant officer levels) - it means educated for certain norms of conduct. What is the police equivalent of West Point where an honor code violation would see one expelled ?
>> For regular folks, m4/3 is too expensive.

This is a huge misconception. From my perspective, any camera (including M43) made after 2014 is more than good enough for most "regular folks" looking to level up from a smartphone. Yes, the top end stuff can be expensive, but regular folks shouldn't be buying that stuff until they're ready to get to the next level.

I bought most of my m43 gear as open box or used. The same with my lenses. You can get something like an E-PL6 body for a couple of hundred bucks, and it takes great photos.

pro tip: buying camera gear from Japanese sellers off eBay is a good way to get stuff, because they're super trustworthy and the gear is in the exact condition they say it is.

That's not a great comparison. Nobody repairs separate in-chip transistors and they're not the usual source of issues. PCB mounted components however do fail and get replaced regularly. There is space for reasonable pricing too given that Apple's response is normally either: swap the inside, swap the outside, or swap the display. (all of them expensive)

the janitor could be played by Ryan Reynolds, when they find out he is a janitor they don't believe it "you're too attractive" then he gets upset because being too attractive for being a janitor has kept him from getting promoted all these years.

Cop played by Samuel Jackson

"these guys don't even look alike"

response Samuel Jackson: they're both too good looking to be janitors.

Ryan Reynolds: why does everyone keep saying that!

later in the movie - Samuel Jackson - I have had it up to here with all these good looking white guys fing up the mf*ing facial recognition!

Idris Elba should be in this too. somehow.

on edit: maybe at the end Idris Elba is brought in as another person the facial recognition identified as the terrorist.

everyone is "how is this possible!"

Ryan Gosling: I don't know, he's pretty good looking, I'm kinda flattered.

Ryan Reynolds: yeah, the computer thinks I look like this guy, wow maybe I am too attractive to be a janitor!

The ask Idris Elba what he does for a living -

The components in modern electronics are interchangeable and have interfaces about as complex as a gear at worst but usually solderable components. The number of transistors is completely irrelevant because no one is servicing the individual transistors. If a CPU breaks, you replace it.

It would be a dream machine with 32 gigs of RAM and I would abandon my current MacBook subscription instantly.
On the other side, Apple’s approach means I’ve been able to re-capture about 50%+ of my 3-4 year old MacBook Airs by parting them out, instead of nearly 0 for commodity laptops.

It really reduced my TCO instead of letting that get captured by 3rd party manufactures.
This is also how it's done traditionally in Ireland, the regular police aren't armed but there is a "Special Branch" of detectives, usually plain clothes in unmarked cars.

Recently they've been sneakily expanding the use of armed police though. In Dublin, I see more and more cars marked "Armed Response Unit" which have regular cops with guns. And just last week a detective was shot and killed with his own gun while doing a traffic stop. There's been a massive PR blitz about how good a guy this cop was, but zero discussion about why the duties of armed police have now been extended to include road traffic policing. I suspect it's planned to arm more and more of them and I wouldn't be surprised if the British followed the same slippery slope.

I do often wonder if many recipe sites ever really think about the user experience. It's almost always going to be on mobile and there's either got to be a simplicity to the presentation (which is what this does brilliantly) OR a really simple way to flick between ingredients and method.

The one that stands out for me is Jamie Oliver (example: https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/vegetables-recipes/veggi...) - on mobile there's this super simple tab that flips you between ingredients / method. It's simple, but exactly what you want, especially when you're covered in flour / oil / etc... :-)
Ask HN: How to collect internet speed and latency measurements for visitors?
I'm interested in sending a survey to a population of users that asks them to visit a site so I can measure their internet speed and latency. This is to help determine which subset of the population has internet connectivity issues.

Basically, the features of fast.com or speed.cloudflare.com, but the ability to collect that data (we'd ask users to authenticate using our central authentication provider first) so we can analyze it.

I'm looking for either off the shelf software we can use for this, or some guidance on how to create one. I imagine creating one involves having the user agent download images of various sizes, but what I can capture about that without some browser plugin?
So, to show thumbnails for a directory with 100 photos, you’re going to open and close 100 files, and read 100 1MB chunks of data?

That probably is doable on modern local hardware, but on network disks, it might still be slow.

Make that an IMHO not unreasonably large 500 photos and your local disk might be slow, too.

Add a virus scanner, and 100 photos might already be annoyingly slow.

I've come to believe public sector unions in their current form just shouldn't exist, as they exacerbate these kinds of problems. It is the Union's job to protect members, and the only group who is by design trying to make this happen.

I can't see the benefit to having an organization whose role it is to fight the public (citizens) in order to improve the lives of a group granted a monopoly over a function (e.g. use of force/policing). With private company unions, there is at least market pressures that solve some issues.

(I am not against all forms of representatation for workers, and think unions should exist but be more like "hollywood agents", and sell their services to individuals. The power to strike always still exists if you can convince the individuals it is a good idea.)
I still don't understand CKII. Believe I had tried noob island last, it seemed comprised of waiting for things then being uncertain whether I'm skipping time too much or too little. I must have invaded a vassal as per tutorial 2-3 times and failing.
Microsoft had retail stores? Why didn't anyone tell me?
I am not sure what kind of point you are attempting to make: the amount of transistors in an IC hardly matters. No one repairs individual transistors. The chips/IC can be replaced and many ICs are not much more expensive than the cogs in the watch.

Ofc, there are billions of transistors in a phone - that doesn't mean anything at all.

Repeatability depends on being able to open a device/tool non-destructively, being able to assemble it back - glue/epoxy used as cheap fastening/engineering tools is the bane of. Ability to find spare parts and service manuals, schematics and the like. The count of transistors is irrelevant as even a simple and single MOSFET driver is enough to prevent a device being operational.

The comment comes off extremely misguided and ill-informed.
I sympathize.

In a corporate network full of critical systems, absolutely! On a home PC used to check email or play games... no way should updates be forced upon an end user who specifically opts out.

I took up biking as an adult again by biking with rental bikes in Mexico City (government owned) and they are built like tanks for durability, not for riding pleasure.

When I finally got on a "real" bike, I flew. I was much faster and agile than my bike-riding friends. Because I couldn't upgrade the bike, I had to upgrade myself, and these investments are compatible with any kind of bike (or sport, actually).
It doesn't matter that there are multiple groups with differing opinions at MS or at any other organisation. The organisation acts as a organism (or, if you prefer, as a set of emergent behaviours). It is, for all practical purposes, a single entity. So ascribing a behaviour or a wish or a bias to "Microsoft" is an entirely valid generalisation. Generalisations are only bad when applied to isolated/differentiated components/constituents of a compound body.
The book looks interesting and the associated libraries (neanderthal for e.g.)

But while going through your performance comparison [1], I feel something is off.

I am not that familiar with libpython-clj and how it works, but looks like you are loading python from within the JVM and in turn the python is loading the C++/fortran OpenBLAS libraries to get the numerical calculations done for the Correlation Coefficient. I suspect this multi-level indirection is creating it's own performance overhead.
For now, I don't believe the performance benchmark are telling us the true story :-)

My assumption is that Quora is very CONUS-focussed, no?

So a 9-3 PT window is pretty reasonable for that region, especially if they're transitioning from offices where you were expected to be at a desk.

It's absolutely true that the work window is unpalatable much east of Nova Scotia, but they also don't have any people IN those zones now.

OTOH, being able to move to Ireland (e.g.) and keep your job -- albeit with super weird hours -- is pretty neat.

For people defending Verizon censoring things, would you still defend Verizon so vigorously if they were bowing to Conservative groups and blocking text messages related to women's health? Because they actually did that. [1]

They didn’t want to let someone use a short code. They didn’t stop them from sending text messages. Would Verizon be out of line if they didn’t let the KKK have a short code of HangTheN$%%#^s? (Before I get downvoted to oblivion for being a racist - that’s just an example - the person I see when I look in the mirror everyday is Black).

There are forbidden custom license plates too. Almost every platform that lets you customize anything have standards.

Verizon in this case isn’t censoring anything. They have every right to choose what other companies to do business with.

Of course, the idea that Facebook, a $70 billion dollar company that dwarfs any phone company in customers, should somehow be less regulated than Verizon is ludicrous. Facebook should be required to consult congress before any major policy changes

I cannot for the life of me understand why people have this undying trust in the government. The same government where the President wants to “shut down Twitter” because he didn’t like one of their policies. This is also the same government that wants to outlaw e2e encryption and consistently tried to pass laws to make it harder for private citizens to record police misconduct.

Amtrak, The US Postal Service, and Verizon are all "private" companies, but they provide such an essential service that they are heavily regulated.

Amtrak is not a private corporation, it is a “quasi-public” corporation that is partially funded and subsidized by the government. The US Post Office is also not only a government run department, it’s actually mandated in the Constitution (Article 1, Section 8, Clause 7).

The US population is more than 4x bigger than the UK, and seems to also have more police per capita, so those numbers would imply that policing is safer in the US. (Which I don't quite believe; more likely those assault numbers are incomparable or just wrong).
What's the story? I thought they sold novelty cereal boxes as a fun side project and PG admired their creativity.
I think another reason could be the wide latitude you have in the military to punish someone without any official paperwork. If someone did something wrong, you could punish them with physical exercise, cleaning duties, taking away weekend liberty, etc., all without any paperwork. When you don't have to worry that you're going to ruin someone's career every time you punish them, it's a lot easier to keep them in line.
