Except the models they had at the time indicated there should be a lot fewer galaxies than they actually found. Five times fewer. I that’s what the deep field had shown, it would merely have confirmed what people already thought they knew anyway. The reason the actual deep field is so interesting is because it dramatically expanded the scale of the observable universe. If it hadn’t done that, we wouldn’t be talking about it.

If it is clearly and utterly wrong, why is it so hard for you to convince your team/business? /troll

Being charitable, sometimes the team/org needs to obtain the group learning. If you've had your say, then time will prove you right and people will remember.

If the team/org won't remember AND they just like to rain down decisions on you from above, why you working there...?

In any case communication is HARD. It's always easy to blame people for not listening, but you can't control other people, only yourself. So the most constructive thing to focus on is doing everything in your power to make it clearly and utterly obvious what you can see that no one else can see. That will stay with you and eventually teams will listen to you.
it's really disingenuous to compare personal and mass transit. they have different risk aversion because they have different societal roles.

We shouldn't accept the premise that there needs to be a cold war in the first place.
That and the Germans basically announced that it would happen.

From Wikipedia:

> The [German] embassy decided to warn passengers before her next crossing not to sail aboard Lusitania, and on 22 April placed a warning advertisement in 50 American newspapers, including those in New York:

NOTICE!
TRAVELLERS intending to embark on the Atlantic voyage are reminded that a state of war exists between Germany and her allies and Great Britain and her allies; that the zone of war includes the waters adjacent to the British Isles; that, in accordance with formal notice given by the Imperial German Government, vessels flying the flag of Great Britain, or any of her allies, are liable to destruction in those waters and that travellers sailing in the war zone on the ships of Great Britain or her allies do so at their own risk.

Car horsepower and airplane horsepower are very different things.

A car engine has to be able to maintain peak power output for a few seconds while accelerating. maybe a few seconds, unless you're towing a load up a hill or something.
On level ground you're using a small but variable amount of your available power.

An airplane engine has to maintain peak power for the entire climb-out, and a substantial fraction of that for cruising for hours at a time.
I think honestly most bad Yelp reviews are mismatches between expectation and reality.

I've seen a 1 star review of a decent restaurant because "they didn't fill my water glass often enough" -- no other complaints. Sometimes you pay enough for this kind of service, but most restaurants (especially the ones that take a risk on a new server) are going to have bad days.

That said, any bad service or review during the early days of a restaurant are impactful on long term revenues. The slope of the curve in the early days has a bigger effect on the area under the curve.
Carbs have an advantage when you're not going inverted: You can gravity feed them, with no fuel pump required.It would be interesting to run the numbers on fuel pump engine outs vs carb icing engine outs to decide which one was worse.

I feel like this entire thread has been an elaborate attempt to demonstrate that you know an ISO definition. With the carefully constructed adjectives used to describe the definition ("standard technical meaning", "In a technical context") leading inexorably to the "ISO" gotcha.

To save others time, here's the ISO-8601 document which is apparently being referenced: https://dgn.isolutions.iso.org/obp/ui#iso:std:iso:8601:-1:ed...

"decade" is defined in 3.1.2.22:

decade
time scale unit (3.1.1.7) of 10 calendar years (3.1.2.21), beginning with a year whose year number is divisible without remainder by ten
Note 1 to entry: Decade is also used to refer to an arbitrary duration (3.1.1.8) of 10 years, however decade is not used as such in this document.
Sun Ra: ‘I’m Everything and Nothing’
These stories amaze me. I'm not saying they're not true, I believe you're having these experiences. I just stunned because the worst thing that happened to me with Amazon lately is their in-house delivery service has a bad track record of losing things, but I still get it in the end. I rarely have a problem with Amazon orders. Weird.
GPSLogger (the one walrus01 linked to) is a gem. I've been using it continuously for 7 years. Not all location trackers are the same.

It lets you log with cell tower but fall back to GPS if the accuracy is poor. Like walrus01 says, it's very configurable in how accurate you want it to be versus battery usage, or if you want to optimize it some way (like not record if it hasn't been moving).

While there were monthly crashes in the first two years I used it, the past 5 years it's been rock solid (running 24/7 with maybe one or two crashes for basically 5 years). You don't want to discover that one day the app hasn't been logging data for the past couple days. In comparison, the Android OS probably crashes about once a month for me.

It can automatically upload to various cloud storage places (Dropbox, Google Drive, but even FTP) so you can generate charts on a server with a script.

Truly open source, low battery usage, saves in multiple file formats, and the developer is active on Github with issues. Making a background mobile app is not easy because Android is constantly trying to reduce background battery drain or background process spyware.

But the lead developer is the worst stereotype for the egotistical god-complex. You have to worship the ground he walks on or he'll publicly attack & mock you. If you don't anticipate all of his questions in advance, he'll attack you with all sorts of infantile insults.

What 3rd world countries are you referring to? I'm pretty well traveled, and in my experience, this definitely has not been the case.
To one who understands complex systems theory, this is completely unsurprising. All the emergent phenomena (fake reviews, pandering to Instagram, faux-chic, aspirational minimalism) in turn create more reaction, more phenomena.

If we ask ourselves: were online reviews a good thing? To me clearly no. Authenticity has been the price.
It depends on society's tolerance for death honestly. You're not going to be VTOLing a 737s worth of people so you're probably talking about the number of fatalities in a mid size SUV.

Billionaire Created a Perfect Experiment by Erasing $34M in Student Debt
I was lucky enough to be in the right place, at the right time, to lead a group that scaled this approach across half a dozen different development teams.

Fortunately everyone bought into the architecture, and respected the boundaries. Not everyone was senior, and not all the code was great, but we adopted the viewpoint that so long as the bad code is in the right spot (and not talking to things it shouldn’t) everything would be ok in the end. And it was.

Half a dozen teams working in one codebase was definitely pushing it though, and the need to scale much beyond that would have definitely required some service-level compartmentalization to keep the ship from sinking, as you said.

Even then, it would still be a far cry from the “microservices should be small enough to re-write in 2 weeks” approach.
And I feel that I'm wasting time on understanding the stuff that I need to pass and have to remember 100 times more things, than I need to.

I want my code to be clear and with certain expectations fulfilled, rather than a mystery in front of me. I'm not there to learn what could be passed into my functions - I'm there to create functionality.

> The rich 'subsidize' progress for everyone

This sounds like an HN version of trickle down theory which I thought had been thoroughly debunked by economists.

It’s funny but, I’ve always been under the impression that the opposite were true in standard economics, the poor—with their labour—are the once who subsidize the rich. I find it hard to believe that the economics of progress are any different. Let me draw up some napkin economics:

Scenario A: The poor pay disproportionaly higher taxes then the rich. Taxes pay for infrastructure, education, etc. The rich uses the infrastructure and the higher skilled workforce to work on a thing. The rich get richer on that thing. The rich give them self a higher percentage of the profit then the workers or the state. The rich just got richer because of subsidy from the poor.

Scenario B: The poor pay disproportionaly higher taxes then the rich. Taxes pay for infrastructure, education, etc. A team of PhD students (the poor) and their assistance (the poor) spend thousands of work-hours to figure out how a thing can be improved. A company uses their findings free of charge to deliver a better product. The company does not give the students and their assistance a fair share of the profits. The company pays their shareholders (the rich) the majority of the profits. The rich just got richer because of subsidy from the poor.

So they did! However I can expect that if the odds turn bad, they won't waste money grasping at straws. If IA decides to pull another similar stunt, EFF probably won't defend them there. More importantly, I am not enabling those stunts with my support and my money, at least until this one is resolved.

Of course I do hope EFF gets them acquited somehow, but I don't like those odds (and they probably didn't either and charged ahead regardless, which is my problem).

I would love to "split the halves" like you said, and would if I had any assurance that the half they get supports things like the WayBack machine. However for all I know, they'll just use it to make the whole Netflix catalogue available for free next month. I guess what I'm trying to say is that their management lost my trust.

I was thinking of one day editing the apps for wearables to direct them my own server, and then setting up a basic CRUD-like endpoint server to keep discontinued cloud-based wearables from becoming garbage by allowing them to have basic functionality.

Reminds me of scrolls with the “king’s seal”...we might need to start demanding more than fancy shrink-wrap to ensure that something is actually in factory packaging.

I think an interesting way to do it would be to have slightly stronger plastic wrap that can be “dented” in several places similar to a UPC pattern, that in turn can be scanned by a phone for authenticity. (This could be done both by warehouses prior to agreeing to stock something, and by consumers to verify what they get.) Scammers might eventually figure it out but at least they’d need to recreate a complex dent pattern after shrink-wrapping, and they would need to be able to do it for each unique company they’re claiming to be.

I started with slashdot, it was ok until I realized I couldn’t comment and have anyone reply. I went to Reddit when it started but I never found a community. Maybe b/c HN became that community.. kind of. I actually have an earlier account I abandoned because I had been so addicted. But HN has similar slashdot issues and other issues too. I never took to digg.. did anyone? Twitter for me is a new thing but it has similar issues... no engagement. And anywhere I am expert or have a contribution I get downvoted. That’s weird. Kinda like how people feel if they’ve been profiled in the newspaper. Some of it is right but specific details and nuance are wrong. I can see why people feel it’s fake news in some sense. But that’s the nature of the fame.

I’m actually glad the engagement is minimal. It helps me disengage. It feels like a FPS game against all the youngsters.

The moral of the story is to never read the comments. So what does that really mean? It means, be the article, not a comment.

This tends to be my gut reaction too. Maybe because I live in a very conservative area and come from a very conservative background. In my filter bubble I consistently see people saying really horrible, legitimately and unapologetically racist and mysoginist things and not being called out or cancelled in any meaningful way but actually encouraged. That makes it hard to take complaints about cancel culture seriously.

That being said I'm very sympathetic to people saying they've seen this before and know where it's headed. So I want to understand GP and try to act accordingly. I just can't stomach lending support to the gun-toting, trigger-happy, unapologetically authoritarian Trump regime.

Waraji over by the fairgrounds was always my favorite sushi (and Japanese food in general) place in Raleigh. It fairly traditional, so not swimming in sauces and cream cheese while also having some more ... and they have some really good sashimi, too. I wouldn't say it can compete with truly high-end places that I've been to but still it's quite good and prices are reasonable.

I moved away from Raleigh about a year ago and I miss it.

i kept the phone because they refused to pay $8 to the mailing service to pick it up at my door. when shit shows up randomly at your door, you do not have the obligation to spend an hour of you time taking a trip to the ups location, standing in line, mailing it, then going back home. now if like with amazon they come to my house to pick it up -it's theirs. but they thought they could force people to mail it. they lost.

my justification is: a random person cannot mail me crap and expect me to spend free time and effort to mail it back. they're free to pay ups to do that, or get it themselves. at my door. my justification is, entitled people in a high horse can do whatever they want, but they have zero power over me to get me to do something.

> Huh, what insurance works like that?

Yes. For example no-claims bonuses on car insurance means you pay less if you claim less.

> If you pay a rate based on how much you used it, you might as well pay for the thing you're having the insurance pay for.

No. For example say my car insurance is £500 or something. It goes down £50 a year every year I don't use it, due to no-claims bonuses. But it's still less than paying for a major accident out-of-pocket that could cost £5 million.
