Schools will always have to compete for their share of the pie, unless you want to do some pretty bad things.

Even in a no-limits, fully-government-paid education system, Tidmarsh Community College is going to have to convince students to come there instead of Harvard or State U. They'll have different resources.

You'd have to reduce student choice, or socialize college assets, to have a world where colleges just don't care about running like a business. It's not about level of funding, it's allocation.

The current system misallocates by hiding the true cost and benefits from students. You go to the school with fancy-pants dorms because you think it has been successful! Aren't those dorms and gyms built with successful alumni donations and clever investments?

No! Those amenities are being paid with the loan payments you'll make in your 30s and 40s.

and what is Blind?

https://www.teamblind.com/

From its Wikipedia page[0]:

Blind is an app that provides an anonymous forum and community for verified employees to discuss issues. Users on Blind are grouped by topics, company and their broader industry. The app verifies that the registered users actually work in the company through their work email and it keeps user identities untraceable through patented technology.

The app has been in the news in multiple cases, noticeably when its anonymous surveys reveal the frank opinions of employees across industries. However, it is also used for more discussions about everyday topics such as salaries.

What everyone else said, but also the presence of false positives means there'll be appeals. So you have a choice or ignoring the appeals and being accused of censoring people, or processing them - and that tends to need a person.
You don't 'get' how B2C companies work? What does this even mean? You would pass on Uber because you can't understand how a business could possibly sell directly to customers?

Why not just say you focus solely on B2B companies? That's a lot more reasonable than trying to argue that B2C is 'stupid', because the market caps of these companies would strongly disagree.
Counterpoint: founding a startup and being financially secure isn't some inalienable right. As you point out, writing small checks will skew the population of founders, but by doing otherwise for the reasons you've brought up, you're addressing a symptom very inefficiently. It might be more effective to take an approach similar to affirmative action. I think the idea is totally valid. Pouring money into a small set of founders can have diversity implications as well, it's hard to guarantee you're distributing investment equitably if the batch size is small.
I think I'm misunderstanding something about the article. In what way is this method perfect, as is mentioned multiple times? Is it not just an incremental improvement over standard practice?
It does when the license says so. Of course, such a document cannot override the local law, and it might be hard to enforce.

For the AGPL, you cannot link against something that isn't also (A)GPL. That means that if you integrate it any tighter than 'running it standalone on an OS' you're probably linking it.

> If we have a template approved by industry leaders - it will be convenient. Otherwise everyone creates them in their own way - convenient for their use cases.

One of the more common mistakes I see in software engineering is adopting tools and processes of companies/teams that don’t look like yours. Sure, get an idea for what people in the industry are doing, but at some point you’ll need to figure out what works best for you. The needs of a spec for a company like Google are probably pretty different for a team of 10 people who are in constant communication.
Moving rockets and shuttle parts reminded me of the story of the limits hit when organising shuttle transport - railways have a gauge and tunnels are made to fit the gauge. The gauge was chosen based on cart wheel spacing and this was chosen by the romans.

Where I am at now we can see all the repos for all projects in the company regardless of team. The only pre-req is to be added to the company's github organization. We have a lot of cross team work, though, and I have worked on a few services that aren't related to my team and it would be a pain to have to request access.

At my last job, however, everything was locked down and you had to request access to just about every repo. It was a pain in the ass and there was no real valid reason to do so.
That's what I've been thinking about as well. I'm leaning towards "no", but let's wait and see.
We do semantic highlighting, it is called "markup", such as italic, bold or underlined text. This idea is much older then syntax highlighting and I would guess it's where computer language highlighting originates from.

In some sprints my team will write multiple design docs, though that's uncommon. For example, if we're building two new features, and each is self-contained. Those design docs are probably small.

In other sprints, we won't author any new docs, for example if we're implementing and shipping/demo'ing chunks of a large, complex feature for which we've already completed the technical design.

I'd suggest coupling design docs to stories/epics, not sprints.

'Drug-induced amnesia' to reduce long term memory generation is a thing and is sometimes used before traumatic surgical procedures. It needs to be taken in advance and is probably not very healthy. Plus I would have serious ethical concerns with jobs that would encourage that.
> Clearly, it means that at the population level, we just don't care.

You are right in both of these descriptions. What we want (are willing to spend money on) and what is going to make us happiest, are different things. And capitalism rewards finding things that we will spend money on. Not things that will make us happier.

But can you imagine a world where we didn’t make billionaires out of people for making us unhappy? For destroying the environment through resource extraction? Imagine we took all that money and funded and rewarded the scientists who had the forethought to develop a coronavirus vaccine. We’d maybe all be able to see the checkout person‘s whole face, and hug our family and friends right now.

Since capitalism rewards the opposite of that, the only way we get to that world or closer to it is by abandoning capitalism as the gold standard for social organization. One small step towards that is to stop idolizing billionaires like Thiel

Timescale engineer here. I'm betting we'll see a nice win; we tend to see write-mostly workloads the UNDO shouldn't be too expensive, and the smaller tuple sizes should be nice. We've built Timescale to be compatible with custom storage engines, so it should work as a drop-in, though of course until we've tested it we won't be sure.
Well then I guess I didn't state it strongly enough: society does worse when the startup process is only accessible by the rich and priviledged.

YC isn't under an obligation to do the best it can for society. But if it wants to do that, or even to approximate it, the filter functions it uses implicitly and explicitly need to be considered carefully. YC has said a variety of things that indicate that it does have some desire to trend in this direction, at least in the past.
I realize now it might look more like notes.
> Semgrep started as a Facebook open-source project

Which project was this? I haven't heard of it before.
i'm not expert. i have a back yard observatory with a 12 inch and an 8 inch SCT telescopes.

there is a limit to how far information can propagate. but with wider and wider scopes we can deal with the wave properties of light and how those waves get wider and wider as you go farther away. (see the inverse square law)

so, we could probably see a human hair on the moon, but the mechanism to do so would be the size of a city like LA or something.

the best way we have to deal with that is actually interferometry. you take measurements of the light wave emitted by a source at several points along it's wave front and infer what the source would look like closer up.

it's very fuzzy but gives us pictures of some very large very far away structures in the universe.

so, maybe if we had enough telescopes pointed at the moon, we could see fine structures like that? but my feeling is that a lot of that information on that scale is just lost from the perspective of each scope, so you really need to capture all of it at a weirdly large scale.

Eh, flagging isn't "canceling." I flagged it because many people can't help pontificating against some straw man of theirs whenever they see some culture war term, and that's pretty obnoxious.

Could you elaborate on what you think it does better than say Terraform. I looked at their comparison page https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/vs/terraform/ and while there is an argument to be made re: being able to write in a more familiar language, its kind of a moot point when config is mostly key value pairs.

The biggest paint point with something like Terraform is the fact that it can't actually validate cloud provider specific problems (for example declaring an Compute instance with a compute type (string) that doesn't actually exist). Does Pulumi try to address this in some way (granted its much easier to write your own checks like that in language as opposed to writing a go module for Terraform providers).
The 'android' that you get from your phone vendor definitely isn't open source. The AOSP project is and the distro from your vendor will have parts of it that can be traced back to the source.

But the android ecosystem as a whole is not 'open source' and not 'open' like people like you tell about. Almost all access is due to hacks and bugs, not because the boot loader and the OS came with the option for user access on the inside.
It achieves a theoretical lower bound on the complexity. This is what the article says in like 1000 words because it's written for mathematical illiterates.

According to the article, it rests on a plausible conjecture. I need to read further.

[edit]

According to the abstract of the paper referred to in the article (https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.10935) it rests on a "central conjecture in the area of network coding". Make of that what you will.
They served their purposes of drawing users from those places into slack's walled gardens.
The UC system has a budget of ~$35 billion, an endowment of ~$21 billion, ~225k staff, and ~300k students.

I'll also remind that the UC system isn't just "education", so it's difficult to draw direct comparisons from top-line numbers in terms of staff and finances with most other universities.

They run Los Alamos (with Texas A&M + Battelle), Lawrence Berkeley, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories, which cumulatively have a budget in the billions.

They also run 5 major medical centers, which represents ~$13bn of their revenue and a large portion of their staff as well.

----------------------

It's a massive enterprise, and if you were drawing the private-sector comparison I've seen elsewhere, it would be in the Fortune 100 in terms of revenue.

I'm not sure what the "right" number is for that job, but it does seem reasonable to think the top couple roles in that enterprise ought to command some sort of high 6-figure salary if you want to get executives of an appropriate caliber to do that job.

----------------------

Some of the lines in that article, like:

> University of California’s executive vice president and chief financial officer is paid $412,000, while an executive doing a comparable job with the California State University system makes $341,000.

Seem ridiculous, given that CSU has a budget 1/6th the size to manage. If anything, one would think the difference in salaries ought to be far larger given the vastly different scope and complexity of the two entities.

-----------------

I'm sure there's plenty of waste and plenty of reform that could be needed, but I'm not exactly convinced on the basis of these claims.

Apple would not like “anyone” debugging their platform. The fact that people have jumped through hoops to do so is considered a bug and something that they actively try to prevent.
Ask HN: How do you manage your time?
I know productivity hacks and time management tips are a dime a dozen. I'm not looking for a system (I don't think). I have a semi-successful GTD system.

I'm looking for a new way to frame personal time management. Work will occasionally blow up my schedule with overtime. My SO will occassionally request entire weekends and I don't always feel comfortable pushing back.

It feels like the part of my time I control is both shrinking and unknowable at the start of the week. People can just take it.

I used to "get back up" and start working out again and checking off little tasks after failing to do those things for awhile.. but it feels so useless now. Why work super hard to do stuff for me when I can simply try to keep up and do whatever I have time for, but not plan anything (so I'm not dissapointed). Why plan anything for me when people can just override that?

To those about to tell me to push back and take charge... how, when no one respects my time but me? Is this possible without quitting my job/breaking up/being "the bad guy"? If not. What's a good way to be the bad guy/encourage others to start respecting my time?
Agreed, I removed where I went to college on my resume a few years ago to make room for actual work stuff, no one has even asked me if I went to college. I also review resumes and unless it's a junior position I don't even really pay attention to where they went to school.
I'd test out some of your more thoughtful and detail-oriented friends. You may find one or two who you feel are adding value and pushing your work forward. If you're going to pay for someone, it's very difficult to find a good editor. Most "editors" are only used to providing sentence-level feedback and may not have enough context about the subject your writing about to be helpful with content feedback. At Prompt, we find only 2% of the thousands of Writing Coach applicants we receive are good enough to make it into our network – i.e., the writing feedback skill is really hard to find.

It's a myth imho that it's just so easy to sell your saas/devtool product to other YC companies (in your batch or otherwise), and that it somehow guarantees you early traction. It may have been true in the Stripe days when there were much smaller batches, but now being in YC means being bombarded with pitches from your batchmates (and then from each new batch as an alumni). Highly effective growth channels tend to quickly get over-saturated, and this one is no different.

Companies in YC are maniacally focused on their own goals and generally don't have the time and energy to adopt products just as a favor. They also tend to have NIH syndrome. They'll try it and give you feedback, but getting them to really use it is still very hard and requires that you're truly solving a problem.

I think a lot of companies start YC with this idea that they'll just sell to other YC companies, then quickly change their minds when they see how hard it actually is. Other early stage startups are not great customers for most b2b companies.
These neural network models do not need to know whether a bond exists - in fact, they have no concept of bond topology. They are designed to be a drop-in replacement for DFT in terms of energies and forces. The only inputs are XYZ coordinates and chemical element labels for the nuclei (and, in the near future, net charge of the system).
A snuff film is defined by most as at least having been made for the purpose of entertainment of others.

> Also interesting is that CA took very similar measures to NY with very similar timing and now are seeing the exact opposite to NY

CA did not act with similar timing relative to disease progression, whether on initiating the lockdown or reopening; particularly, it began quickly reopening when cases had barely flattened, earlier than New York either on the calendar or with regard to the progression of the epidemic, whereas NY didn't start reopening till they had dropped way down and still hasn't opened indoor restaurants in NYC, while California had reopened bars and restaurants statewide before beginning reclosing.

> although the media seem to be a bit quiet on that!

California's woes resulting from the premature reopening are heavily covered in the national (and even international) media. If you mean that the false claim that California policy closely tracked New York’s and got different outcomes isn't getting media play, you are right, but that's only because it's completely false.

New York was somewhat slower on the calendar and even moreso with regard to cases in closing, which was a big initial failure relative to California, but California bungled even worse with rushed reopening.

Yes and the way you can tell is the doc title is "FooBar Design Doc" but the shortlink is "foobarforperf".
An important consideration in that case though is that you'll have unambiguously discovered the "unwinnable" condition within the first two seconds of the game; with no emotional investment in that seed, it'll result more in a curious shrug rather than resentment.

(I say "unwinnable" because it is possible to win that game; in Civ 6 you would just need to build a military district on the far side of the mountain and then you could begin spawning units there, at which point you're now in actually in a very secure defensive position!)
