The engineers who think this will enable them to live in North Dakota for $600/month rent and earn FAANG money are delusional. Even adjusting for cost of living you're going to get screwed in negotiations.

Owning a property when you're young is a liability in that it prevents you seeking opportunities which may dramatically boost your career and income.
To be fair, it is an immutable shortened url, but it could still point to a random site that then redirects to a git url (when it's being benevolent). Definitely better to point directly to a git commit hash, though still a bit sketchy regardless.

Yes blacks come from a tough past, but the U.S. led the world in abolishing slavery and re-integrating them in society.

What's more, the U.S. has spent hundreds of billions (maybe trillions) already in programs and incentives for blacks over many decades.

No other country has spent so much effort and money on blacks already.

What blacks who are still in bad circumstances now need is to get away from the places of bad influence, and move to places of better influence. Live in the ghetto? Save to move elsewhere. Bad friends? Ditch them and find good ones, etc.
Even if those people have a beef with the CCP, and even if Adrian Zenz’ stories about Uyghurs are true (which still remain to be seen, as there are many flaws in his methodology), what does that have to do with the rest of the world?

I did international first in the 747. Def not ‘cattle car’. The front windows are angled so you can see forward more than usual - it’s surprisingly quiet in the top front and the views were beautiful- you felt like you were floating. I slept well too which is rare (wine may have helped) and fun to think of the engineering that went into these big birds. Only negative is that it is all so over the top - wife and I more comfortable in biz or e+
And some of the more complicated or precision components (shutter, mirror, viewfinder screen + prism, lens mount, autofocus motor, autofocus and autoexposure sensors) exist in similar forms on newer products and may be able to share production lines to some extent.

Okta - Just works, good UI

> Don’t gripe, celebrate it! Huge companies getting conned by large consulting firms creates opportunities for startups. If Deloitte and others were actually good at what they do, it’s be much harder to compete.

Eh, no. I bet Deloitte and Accenture are actually good at what they do, but that happens to be c-suite sales and other parasitic activities. End-user pain is an untracked externality in these arrangements.

Putting the idealism aside, I also thought startups where pretty much in the opposite business to these billable hour factories.
You're absolutely correct that passenger experience on these large planes are fairly inferior to modern, smaller ones today (for everyone not in first class) but it's the 747's historical impact that stirs up the nostalgia.

When it first entered service in the 70s, the 747 was the aircraft that democratized travel in its time. Its massive capacity cut ticket prices in half while its range enabled new direct flights.

It's also this engineering marvel. The 747 dwarfed its next closest competitor in size and was not only the first double decker, but also the first widebody plane ever introduced. Engineers in the 60s created it with their pre-CAD tools and modern aircraft are built on their work.

Even though the economics of the plane were terrible, many airlines still flew it because it was such a massive leap forward in progress. Even today, it stands out at airports as a truly iconic design among the other fairly homogenous planes.

While the 747 no longer really fits into today's economic environment, it's still fondly remembered for its role in getting us here.
No.[1] It took a few years before plutonium bombs were reliable and storable. Documents of the period use the term "GI-proof". On the other hand, keeping assembled enriched uranium bombs around wasn't a good idea. For a year or two after the war, the US had zero nuclear weapons ready to go. On a few days notice, though...

A fairer statement might be that the rust ecosystem has inconsistent version numbers. I've seen both flawless v.14s and awful v.7s. There are a few ways to figure out the difference like sorting by downloads on crates.io to find packages that are commonly used.

There is a curious parallel to the rise of Go which had no versions in their ecosystem as the language was adopted.
Not everyone wants to work for a FAANG, whether due to geography, career goals, skill set, or ethics.
Neat. I had no idea it could improve that much.
When it comes to consulting companies, even if the actual work is terrible (there are exceptions), there will always be people who need the opportunity. Either they are good developers but are just in a hard time and need something to pay the bills (in which case the incompetence of the existing team is an advantage because due to their skills they can get away with doing very little actual work) or they are proper monkeys that will just fraud their way into the industry and then blend right in with the rest of the idiots in there and do the minimum amount of (mediocre) work required to collect their paycheck for the rest of their lives.

There are three things preventing someone from using the object after destroying it:

* If it was an owning reference, the compiler will ensure nobody else uses it.
* The program will halt if there are any live constraint references to an object we destroy, preventing anyone using one of those.
* If it was a weak reference, the language will (conceptually) null that out when we destroy the object.

Locking goes deep into Vale's concurrency story, but I can try to sum it up:

* By default, an object can't be visible to two threads, every thread has its own isolated region (similar to Pony and Rust).
* We can use a mutex to contain a region, and Vale's "region borrow checking" can make sure references don't escape the lock's duration.

I'm curious about that second safety hole Rust has. I don't think Vale has that same hole, as we initialize every array with a size and a lambda, and there's no opportunity to stop it halfway through (well, our form of "exceptions", involving pure functions or rollbacks, could stop it and keep everything safe), you can see an example in our little roguelike sample [1] on line 415.

Personally I like having separate installations for each language-specific IntelliJ flavor just to reduce confusion when toggling between different windows. The slight GUI differences also help to "code-switch" (in the linguistic and literal senses).

I stand by the statement.

You'd don't get to conclude that having other people around is bad because there could be desperate people among them. Having other people around also delivers huge benefits, such as providing the gloriously diverse global economy that allows one to manufacture the Mars colony equipment in the first place.

I get a Galt's Gulch stench from some of these fantasies of Mars as sanctuary.

It's unclear why Chrome does this - it has a preference for which camera but it seems ignored and takes the most recently installed one.

Actually, that is a very common trick that scammers have used and still do. In the past they would buy Google ads or do some black hat SEO to get their fake number to the top of search engines.

Then, people searching for things like "Microsoft tech support" would get the scammers number and call it. Google and other search engines will even pull that number from your site and handily present it to you at the top of the search results to make it appear even more legit.

Taking over unclaimed Google map listings for businesses is also really common.

Simply buying a toll free number that is close to the customer service number for a large company is bound to get you more inbound callers than you care to scam.

So no, absolutely no excuses for teaching people to share their 2fa codes.

I'm not following. You're suggesting they had an exaggerated sense of their own abilities? It doesn't seem they did, given they accomplished what they set out to do. And their calculations turned out to be correct w/r/t the risk of igniting the atmosphere.

It seems odd to suggest they were arrogant because they didn't have physics knowledge that wasn't available to them - or anyone - at the time.
Plenty of business and home owners in CHOP probably would have something different to say about it entirely.

So, first of all, I want to say that I haven't read all of the Vale stuff yet but will, and I'm excited people are doing stuff in this space. Please take that (and this) comment as a "we're on the same team of safety!," not some sort of attack or something :) We need more software with more memory safety, and we need more people researching novel ways of achieving it.

I think it's hard to talk about these examples, but I'm having a hard time putting what I want to say into words.

I am very interested to see these benchmarks :)
Damn.. super interesting!
I flew business class with BA five years ago as it was cheaper than economy on my usual airline at the time (EK) - mainly as it was a last minute booking. I flew two intercontinental legs (Middle East -> Europe -> North America) and both aircraft were on old 747s that looked like they hadn't been cleaned for a week or more. The infotainment system felt just as old, with a choice of maybe 20 movies on the 8" display where the touch screen barely functioned. The lie flat bed wasn't bad (they had an interesting layout where one seat faces foward and the next faces backward), and the food was just regular reheated meals with slightly nicer silverware than economy.

Now I understand some other airlines have better offerings than BA, and if you fly first class (I think for the same flight it was roughly 8x more) it's going to be a different story, but at the end of the day you are still just flying A to B.

The best part was probably the lounge where I had the connection, but I only had 1 1/2 hours so didn't get to experience it much. However it wasn't really much more than a 4* hotel buffet.

If I could afford to drop $20k to fly first class whenever I feel like it, would I? Probably. Do I feel like I'm missing out on anything by not doing that? Nope.

How much more is it to fly in a private jet? I feel that would be a different story, given you can schedule it so it picks you up whenever is convenient for you.

Oh no doubt. I’m not shedding any tears on these consultants behalf believe me.

The folks in these companies are masters at separating customers from money, for sure. But, these guys aren’t ripping off clueless dentists either. The typical F100 customer isn’t a babe in the woods. When the parties are Accenture vs. Exxon or IBM vs. the IRS, who is the good guy? :)

If it's done this way then all of the web links stay live, and a new owner doesn't need to be found immediately. Think of it as a special permission holding pool. There are many cases of "done" libraries that need changes later. This would help with them. However when they're not done this way you can spend a few weeks / months trying to get ahold of the author and for them to decide "oh yeah I don't really care about x anymore"
Well let’s see...since all countries with ICBMs also have technology in place to detect or verify via satellite a nuclear launch, absolutely nothing would happen. If a real launch had taken place, they would have known about it far before they heard about a post on Twitter. The alarmism here on HN is really disappointing. This is the kind of foolishness usually reserved for Reddit.
It is possible that the doctor refused to talk not to ruin his case in court. But it is also possible he is incompetent and simply blew it.
I've worked for both a Big 4 as a tech consultant, as well as a FAANG. They both have their pros and cons.

The first thing is that they really have two completely different cultures that appeal to completely different people. The way I describe it is that the consulting companies are basically an extension of Business School, while FAANG is an extension of Engineering School. The culture at a consultancy is generally a lot more social, with huge, alcohol-filled parties being the norm (if you think FAANG parties are big, B4 parties are twice as big and happen 10x as often). They also put a lot more emphasis on "group work" where the main way of getting tasks done is to get together in a room and work side-by-side while having continuous review and conversation.

If you're a person that likes to often go out to bars, have fancy team dinners at chic restaurants, work in groups, and spend a lot of time building relationships with your coworkers, you probably would like B4. What I just described might sound absolutely horrible to many HNers, but there are many people that really dig that lifestyle.

On the other hand, if you are a stereotypical computer engineer that would rather go home and recharge rather than go to a bar, maybe have a nice company-provided dinner every now and then but not every night, do your best work heads-down without any interruption or talking, and think "work is for work, not for making friends", then you certainly wouldn't like B4 and would probably like FAANG.

As for pay, B4 starts out a bit lower than FAANG but salary at consultancies grows much, much faster. Getting a promotion every 2-3 years is expected, with large salary bumps and large bonuses even in non-promo years. When I left B4 to FAANG, my pay almost doubled, but due to the way B4 pay scales, if I went back to B4 now I would likely make more at B4.

Career progression is also very different at B4 vs FAANG. There is no "Individual Contributor vs Management" track at B4. Everyone starts as an IC, and then slowly starts taking on more management responsibilities. For me personally, I really prefer this because it means I get to be a manager that makes strategic decisions and mentor a team, but also still do "hands on" work as much as I want. FAANG, on the other hand, I have to make a decision whether I want to be an IC (where I will only have some mentorship/manager responsibilities, if any) or Manager (where I will be doing considerably less hands-on work, if any).

And last, tech consulting at the big consultancies can genuinely be fun. You get to hop around to new clients/projects every couple months, working on and learning new types of work. If you do find a type of work you really like, you can specialize in it and stick with it as you please. For some people, switching clients and meeting new teams to work with, being "the expert" in the room, and always running into new problems is fun.

"Osterholm has never written any paper about community mask wearing. He is not an informed authority on this issue"

And neither are you. Your "paper" on the subject is a joke. I've read it, and I've read the source literature you cite. It is a series of sloppy misinterpretations and mis-representations of the other papers, coupled with the results of running an ad hoc epidemiological model with questionable parameters. It is a quora post, written up like a paper, and pushed to a pre-print server.

You cite papers that are rated by Cochrane (and others) as low-quality, as if they are reliable evidence. You dismiss papers that do not support your conclusions for "lack of evidence", but deflect similar criticisms of your own conclusions with "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence". Quite simply: your analysis wouldn't pass muster at even a third-rate journal, and Osterholm has rightly called you out on it.

It's especially ironic that you say that Osterholm is not an "informed authority" -- he leads one of the country's leading research institutes on infectious disease, has a long history in epidemiology and public health, and spends the better part of an hour-long podcast specifically describing his experience and outlining areas where he has no specific expertise. Say what you want about the man, but he is rigorously honest about his experience. Yet I regularly see you cited as a "mask expert". Where did you do your research, again? Was it when you were getting a philosophy degree, or when you were at Fastmail? Maybe Kaggle has a mask competition?

As for the papers you've cited here: the first link you cite can't separate the effects of social distancing, gloves, masks, and other interventions, and finds mainly that people who take precautions against infection have better outcomes than those who don't. When they actually try to break out masks, specifically, they find that they don't have any effect after illness onset, which should make you doubt legitimacy of the results.

The second link provides no evidence for masks. It is a modeling study.

The third link has the same problem as the first, but worse: it can't possibly separate the effect of masks from everything else that was happening in the examined states at the same time. There is no control.

Since nobody's mentioned it yet: I find they feel very stable in turbulence. I used to do the SFO-Europe route 10-12 times a year and whenever we were on an A330 and encountered even mild turbulence the food would end up on our face and neighbor's coffee on my lap.

I'm not an aeronautic engineer so I can't explain why but the ride was always smooth on 747s even in otherwise non-ideal conditions. I've flown the 787 since then and I don't even think it handles as well, but not enough data. I will miss it.
"you're not thinking about the problem at hand."

But OP said he ended up somewhere sensible. He -was- thinking about the problem at hand. As he spoke. He got there in a roundabout fashion, perhaps, and had to think quickly, but it's still -valid-. He's not just bullshitting the interviewer (which is very noticeable and easy to suss out, and never ends anywhere sensible).
