Do you have any evidence of this being a widespread phenomena?

As it stands this sounds like what someone would say who is unwilling to put in the effort to be employable in their desired field and instead wastes effort reinforcing excuses to the contrary. I've certainly heard it plenty. And this is coming from a pro-worker person.

> People have short memories, the class-driven state of affairs you prefer will be back soon enough.

Are you sure? Can anyone be sure of this? The internet has fundamentally altered the dynamic with the new Gutenberg revolution. Now the angry mobs have louder voices than even the largest institutions. Worse, people at these institutions are encouraging the mob for clickbait driven profit.

The incentives are perverse and it's why a strong code of ethics is essential.
But to what end and for who's benefit? What is the point of the optimization of your time?

She just wants to stop and smell everything. Haven't really tried to get her into a routine to run the full 5K with me without stopping to pee on everything or smell everything or try to stop and play with everyone we pass...

I'd love it if she would run nicely though :)
What does "lights out" mean here? Is it a way to describe a nearly fully-automated production line?

If that's the case, then aren't they using it for Model 3/Y already? If yes, then I have to disagree with you, because neither of those cars look anything like Cybertruck, even stylistically.

EDIT: thanks for explanation in the replies, it makes sense. If anyone has any additional insight as to how it affects production lines that are, let's say, 90% automated and 10% manual, your contribution would be heavily appreciated.
We should all look to change ourselves before trying to change other people - lead by example and others will follow.

This is an epic false equivalence that tries to suggest everyone has an equal impact and an equal voice. That's obvious nonsense. People who are good asking people who are bad to stop what they're doing is quite reasonable, especially on an objectively measurable topic like the environmental impact of mining.

Honestly, the suggestion that software shouldn't be treated as a political issue is something I never thought I'd see being argued in a relatively intelligent and enlightened community like HN. Software runs the world. It's obviously political. From governments embargo'ing the sale of strong encryption to companies EULA'ing their products to stop them from being used to design nuclear weapons how could you possibly imagine software as "just a tool"? Of course it isn't.
> The companies you mention are also complicit in creating the upcoming climate-caused world wars and their executives should similarly be held responsible.

It seems just as likely to me that the economic deprivation caused by an end (or dramatic reduction of) fossil fuel consumption would also lead to world wars (and likely vast ecological destruction). How does one effectively weigh those risks against each other?
This reeks of an astroturfing campaign by an activist fund in support of getting control of the board, as a means to strip the company of its assets and the quality of life the employees enjoy. This isn't earnest. Cui bono?
It seems that the american/OP mindset is all about throwing dollars to the problems. No, you don't need to buy another phone so you reduce phone usage.

NYC had a 20% antibody rate back in April; the disease being under control in NYC may be due to having built up some level of immunity and (sadly) having the vulnerable population die off.
My intention was to clarify it as "moral" was mainly to contrast it to "legal" (which depending on jurisdiction I would assume it might not be).

And what is wrong with invoking morals? If people think that acting "sustainable" is important according to their morals, why not alert them that someone is deceiving them in that aspect?

If a competitor has put significant effort into actually being sustainable, while Autodesk is just using the term like that, publicizing it in this way just adds transparency for decision making. If a competitor is just as bad as Autodesk, publicizing it would just sensitize everyone to the problem and likely blow up into their face later.

Why do you think it would make a difference if a competitor pushes the message (as long as the message is true)?

The point here is that the flywheel is so massive that the amount of energy required to bring it below (or above) the allowable frequency range is practically very large.

Large steam/gas turbines running on the grid have a similar effect. Even without hot gas running through them, they can provide rotational inertia for grid stabilization purposes. This flywheel is basically an extremely heavy version of the same idea, and powered exclusively by the grid itself.

You wont be able to ride out a scenario where there is a long-term lack of generation capacity, but this flywheel could buy the precious seconds/minutes required to spin up peaker plants and other contingencies.
>I would rather spend time with friends and family, play games, read books, travel, etc.

That's you. Lots of people are perfectly fine without the need for family/friends 24/7. The site clearly stated he had been working on the project since 2008, so they could spend a few weekends here & there on the project and still have plenty of time left for doing whatever else makes you (specific you not the royal one) approve of his endeavors. I might suggest you might have more free time yourself if you just accept things not in your control rather than worrying about how someone else does things you might choose to do differently. I'm suspecting that this is not the only example. You haven't mentioned your hobbies. Let's see if we approve of how you spend your time.
I'm not religious, but my wife's family is. I listen to podcasts during the boring bits when we go to church for the holidays or when traveling. Not quite Slayer, but... still entertaining!
Excellent article – particularly for showing how powerful the limbic system is and how it can completely overwhelm the neocortex (logical, rational part of the brain) – a phenomenon referred to as amygdala hijack [1]. The article shows anyone could fall victim to such a scam – not just those who are stupid and/or greedy. I was also struck by how the article detailed – in addition to the monetary loss – the longer-term emotional consequences of being deceived by scammers.

> My dad had received robocalls in the past and ignored them. But this one was different: it was a real, authoritative person on the line who knew his full name and address.

Earlier, the article reported that scammers get this personal information from data brokers and it struck me that this is a reason why people should care about privacy and who they trust with their personal data. This data could end up being used against them – or their loved ones.

Well, for what it's worth, I've worked in software engineering for 30 years. I'm still in software engineering. I've never seen or heard anything like what you're talking about.

(I offer my experience, anecdote though it is, because you seem to be saying this is widespread, maybe even universal. It could be that I am misreading you.)
As someone without a degree and making market rate or better, I agree (and I started when there weren't so many online options)

Of course the hard part is getting hired without that rubber stamp, but there are many options (many have an idealized idea of what your career will look like, but that's often disconnected from reality)
I'm sorry you got downvoted, I agree with you. If only this serious amount of effort was directed towards something meaningful the world would be much greater.
You say that but can't provide any alternate solutions/suggestions/strategies?
> free if your parents make under $65K

Which means that in the city I live in, if both parents work full time minimum wage jobs, their child might be able to go for free, since the minimum wage here is $15. It would even be slightly harder if the parents worked in San Francisco, since minimum wage is a few cents more there. I doubt anyone in that situation feels like that minimum wage is making it easy to live in the area.

Programs meant to accept people from across the nation that peg goals/limits to specific income amounts don't seem to make all that much sense to me. :/
Do you think the fact that some journalists maliciously crop social media posts means that we should replace the institutional model with a "Github" model of professional journalists?

I'm sorry, but I fail to see this as a crisis of the profession in the same way that the GP does.
Many Asian countries as well as Europe have managed to get cases down to levels where it's entirely within reach to completely eliminate the virus. And they did so with less disruption and costs than the US.

Except for high-risk activities such as nightclubs, life has mostly returned to normal. In the US, however, retail sales (as just one indicator) are stagnant at 50% of previous levels. Economic activity will be far from normal until people feel safe again.

As to hospitalisations and deaths: hospitals in Arizona, Nevada, Florida, and Texas are quickly filling up and/or full already.
That’s a particular challenge with this virus: it takes a long time between being exposed and actually suffering from the disease. Which makes it really easy to dismiss the impact because the side saying “it’s a big deal” has to wait two weeks or more while the side saying “it’s not a big deal” gets to claim victory for two weeks before being proved right or wrong.

The fact is we don’t know a lot about how this virus operates or why it does what it does. What we do know is that there are fates much worse than death that come from this disease (reduced lung/heart/organ function, long hospital stays with very expensive bills at the end, etc). We know it spreads quickly and we know it’s spreading uncontrolled right now. We know at least 130,000 people in the US have died and many more will be permanently injured. We know the countries who handled the response right, because they are opening back up. We know the countries who handled it poorly because their cases are still going up.

All of the things we don’t know are problems and we need to keep learning. All the things we DO know tell us this is bad and it’s going to get worse before it gets better unless people start taking it seriously. Unfortunately many people are taking the opposite approach and claiming victory based on the unknown factors we still don’t know answers to.
Is it the control algorithm you're after, or an output diameter measurement technique? You don't mention how you're measuring the width at the extruder die or after the freeze bath.
> Even the US constitution recognizes that Ex post facto laws are bad and specifically prohibits their passage.

Ex post facto is a term of art in criminal law; and the prohibition has everything to do with the type of consequences that are uniquely applied in the criminal context.

It does not reflect a general rule that there is no liability for wrongs determined after-the-fact, but is a special exception to the general rule that such liability is acceptable.

"The bureaucracy expands to meet the needs of the ever expanding bureaucracy" or something to that effect.

I blame it on exceeding Dunbar's Number and creating different groups inside of an org, which now have different priorities and tribal affiliations, e.g. Ops vs. Engineering vs. Finance, or sub-teams inside of Engineering fighting holy wars about Tool [X].
Journalism’s purpose is to report current and past events that have a bearing on history — both political and social.

You may not want to work with a former KKK member, but that doesn’t mean the press (or anyone) has any business exposing their sins in public, unless there are specific crimes for which penal justice has yet to be served—and even then, a wise journalist would do well to contact the DA instead of publishing first.

Beyond that, I would remark that “love your neighbor as yourself” does include personal and social forgiveness of past wrongs: “He who covers an offense promotes love.” But an unforgiving society is brittle and prone to collapse into totalitarianism.
You must not be aware that one of the MOST common forms of female genital mutilation (FGM) is LESS radical than the MOST common form of male circumcision done in the United States.

Furthermore, MUTILATION was a word coined by the Apostle Paul himself. The King James version uses an obscure word CONCISION in Philippians 3:2 and Strong's Greek Dictionary tells you it means MUTILATION.

Another point you probably are unaware is that the Jewish rabbis changed their method of circumcision to be the "laying bare of the glans" in about 140 A.D., a fact verified as true by the Jewish Encyclopedia itself. CircumcisionInBible.WordPress.com
I've heard an interesting take from an assistant to a lawyer who helped someone defrauded of money.

Nobody ever wakes up in the morning and says, "What I am going to do today is evil, and I'm okay with that."
When I thought through each of the examples of society-wide atrocities,
examining them through the new lens I had gained in that deposition room,
immediately I saw it: In every single case where people cooperated with evil, they used eloquent lies to assure
themselves that what they were doing was actually good.
To me this signals that Buffett believes that huge growth of cheap and crazy-popular wind and solar generators will continue to be directly correlated with a massive expansion of fracked natural gas (i.e. high-carbon fossil fuel) to back up their intermittency.

Fracked natural gas is certainly better than coal in almost all metrics (way less deadly air pollution, arguably less carbon emissions given better pipeline seals/maintenance), but it is not compatible with a climate solution because of its high carbon footprint.

I'm always advocating for 24/7 low-carbon, low-land, low-material energy (i.e. energy with high power density) like nuclear but it appears that the public simply is not interested. It would help if we could just choose a reactor design and serialize it like the Koreans did to get costs way down.
Mini led is supposed to be quite a lot higher number of zones, but it looks like the controllers / algorithms aren't ready yet. Regular FALD tvs generally have 16-800 zones.

The tcl 8 series tv is the only miniled one i know of, and has 25000 minileds.

Unfortunately they are grouped such that there are only about 900 zones, which is very disappointing. Hopefully the next generation of miniled will deliver the hype.
What if you get kidnapped and don't have enough money? I highly doubt there is no world in which you would ever need money. When you make blanket statements such as "X cannot ever happen" you're asking to be wrong.

A better approach would be to establish a set of preshared keywords that convey information about what's going on.
It’s not “front page” news because it is inaccurate.

Deaths have declined for various reasons, including improved treatment (rolling patients and avoiding ventilators). Also we have not had the overwhelming of hospitals that took place in NYC and Italy repeat yet. Between the protests and people cutting loose over the holidays, I certainly hope we don’t see a repeat of that.
Target was too lazy to check all the gift cards to see if they were redeemed when he called them. 4 out of 6 weren't. That's outrageous. Target should be on the hook for any unredeemed cards from the time he called to report the scam.

ISTM that the article is very explicitly taking sides; it doesn't even claim to be providing some neutral view of the controversy, it just advances the journalists' own point of view. A biased article will always get more clicks.
The point is that all the good of Autodesk's products in non-mining industries is great but when a company like someone who makes mining equipment comes along Autodesk should treat them as they're someone who says they're going to use the software to bash their friend's planet in.
Here’s what has had me looking to leave in the past, make sure these don’t happen:

Being paid less than the market and not receiving raises in line with my growth. I got a 50+% raise by jumping ship. If you don’t pay well, people will jump ship unless there is something very attractive intrinsic to the job (like working on a niche loved technology). If you don’t offer raises in line with growth, leaving is the only way for an employee to earn their worth.

Having no vision for the tech org and letting flashy tech-debt laden projects get the most recognition. There is a tricky balance between fostering bottom-up innovation and letting “get recognition quick” projects get the focus. Good engineers who really care about your product and maintenance will be turned off.

Poor dev tooling. Locked down PCs where devs can’t install the tooling they like. Centrally controlling the libraries devs can use. Paranoid security that gets in the way, leading people to give up or build hacky workarounds.

Focusing too much on new features and building up a backlog of bugfixes and reliability improvements.Not realizing the cost of tech debt.

Allowing nontechnical management to drive technical decisions. Not listening to those of us in the trenches, who see how things are day to day.
Well, it was going to be a minimum 25% to allow all the first-year students in, because Harvard saw that they were going to defer in droves if they couldn't go on-campus.

Exactly - there's a reason you can find a good number of stories of physicians retiring or going to very part-time work in their 40's. It's because they made $500k for a decade (for some specialties), didn't spend like a drunken sailor, and now they don't have to work.

The economics are different for software developers for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is that we don't have a cartel protecting our licensure, but you give me an extra $350k a year and it definitely will raise the bar on what I'm willing to put up with. But a decade in, I'd be willing to give up more than $350k for more of the intangible valuables.
My Thoughts on Consciousness, AI, and What Is Real
Leveraging these sorts of "I or someone in proximity to me did something dumb" stories into clicks/likes/virtue points just rubs me the wrong way. If I want to hear about how your grandma got phone scammed by Nigerian princes or how your coworker fell off a ladder because he neglected to follow safety proceure I want to hear it from someone with relevant professional experience and qualifications on the matter, not some internet rando who's looking to pimp out others misfortune for clicks. IMO that just adds insult to injury.

And since I know this is an unwelcome opinion here would anyone care to tell me why I'm so wrong or why they disagree?
Because trolling makes no sense in that sentence. They were looking for older family members for potential targets.

FWIW, as a hiring manager, if someone has a portfolio I definitely judge them on it, and if it's good it allows me to bypass huge swaths of technical/coding interview stuff and dig much deeper into where/what I want. I always take it as a positive, even if it's old stuff.

Bear in mind, what you're asking here, is for a company to put their own reputation and business on the line to protect you. If your content is not welcome in the mainstream, a company hosting you faces boycotts, protests, resignations, leaks, etc. Even amongst people who would agree with you, they probably wouldn't be willing to take their own business on protecting yours.

False dichotomy. Responsible mask-wearing allows many (admittedly not all) areas of society and the economy to function without a full lockdown.
