The easy answer you might not like: interview at small places that don't have a lot of existing technical experience and don't pay very well. I've had 3 jobs now at small agencies (3-4 devs) that paid under $100k and none of them required any sort of technical interview. One looked at a project I had on Github and asked me to talk about it for a bit. Another just hired me without any real proof of my ability, just what I said I could do. Another just asked general interview questions. If you're fine building CRUD apps all day every day for sometimes pretty dumb projects with often dumb technology choices and no opportunity for upward advancement, it's a fine job.
Education, housing(rent, not the price of a house), and medical care. Are all included in the CPI. Education and medical care are going up due to reasons unrelated to inflation. Shelter is going up at 3% due to supply constraints.

The prices of houses, stocks, art, and startups are not. The reason is that assets prices are very heavily affected by interest rates.

Imagine a house that costs $100,000 but rents out for 10,000 a year in profit because interest rate are 10%. Now imagine interest rates drop to 1%. Arbitrage will mean that individuals will borrow money at 1% and buy the house and collect 10%. This drives up the price until the return on the house matches the return of other investments, or basically until the house is worth $1,000,000. Now the cost of rent hasn't changed, but the price of the house has gone up 1,000%.

Did the economy experience 1,000% inflation? No because the cost of living hasn't changed.
That's a $250 flight which is mostly labour turned into a $70 flight without the labour. That's a marginal cost thing. It goes in a different part of the book.

I'm not saying this is doable but those numbers show nothing.

I also spin up new emails for trials and such every once in a while, and delete/abandon them afterwords.

One reason I consider for that is that technical progress and inventions are much more valuable and therefore need to be a public good sooner.

This doesn't make sense from a makers schedule. Any serious developer needs their time and is happy with very regimented meeting schedules. I guess that's my perspective from product / dev management. You can't expect everyone to have clear expectations, lots of psychology issues around communication and this puts additional peer pressure into the space. K-12 education has proven to be a boiler room of social pressure, at work it politics + ofc pressure to perform. People want to deliver value in a way that works fairly for both employer and employee, this seems to be employer focused. From my perspective those in my company who like to chat are always on our team speak or chatting on video anyway, no device needed, others like myself and developers prefer as I stated earlier regimented schedules of interaction. There have even been studies that video chat is stressful, and I tend to agree, due to concern over appearance, where to look, background mess, etc. It's simply not an optimal communication mode unfortunately and to make it pervasive in my opinion is undesirable. I hope you guys can find either the market or the customer you are looking for in a way that is balanced and psychologically healthy. Cheers.
I have a very naive question: if everything expands, why aren’t planets also expanding and why isn’t any molecular structure expanding as well? In other words, what does expand the universe yet prevents the planets (and us) from also expanding with it?
Thanks, while I don't really like or identify with overly-reductive terms like "left" or "right", I am aware of a "left"-ward bias in my information consumption, and I'd like to see some alternative takes. I'll check this out.
There are also cases where insurance works by aligning incentives, to help make early intervention easier.

Take health insurance where you get free stop-smoking plans. It makes the barrier for signing up to such a plan much lower, which is good for you. It also makes the chance of people suffering from lung cancer lower, which is good for your insurer.
> capacitive start button

Yes, that's inaccurate in the article, isn't it?

"because it had no On button, a stray wave of your hand would send the machine into action"

You didn't "wave your hand", you touched the button. The button wouldn't move, but you did have to press it. (Maybe they changed that from prototype to production? But it definitely wasn't an issue I remember).

> I simply don't understand the myth of the prohibitive price.

It was pretty expensive at the beginning, but IIRC it came down pretty soon.
Somewhat sadly a lot of the drive for that tolerance was weapons, until we could accurately make very high tolerance (for the day) parts you couldn't use parts from one rifle on another without a smith, it certainly wasn't field serviceable - this imposed a lot of maintenance overhead until they solved it properly.

It seems like we really like to push the limits when it comes to shooting each other.
Farm. An acre of land can provide nearly all the food a small family needs. All that work people do all the time? It's mostly so they can get food. Farming cuts out the middleman.
Or by the time it becomes reality, certainly highway self-driving will be a thing and you can take 2x the time but sleep/surf/work/whatever over 95% of the distance.

That said, it is so light that maybe it would be in range of consumer cost.
> > California is building a high speed rail line.

> Allegedly.

Not allegedly, it's actually being built right now. 119 miles of it in fact. It's not the whole system, but it's the IOS that they promised that they would build.

> the target speeds are disappointing and there are so many detours from any meaningful corridor...

The target speed is 220 mph between Gilroy and Burbank which is in line with the current highest speed HSR systems in the world. The route actually makes a fair amount of sense given that the cities in the central valley are not that small, especially since the stations in those cities are designed for trains to express through them. Rather, it makes more sense compared to the I-5 corridor which would have required branch lines to be built, not to mention the other fundamental issues that proposal had.
> ‘aggressively conventional’ (PG introduces a new term here - presumably ‘woke’ is too inflammatory)

"Woke" is too limited. It may be the current form of "aggressively conventional", but there were others before it, there will be others after it, and there are others than it right now.

Also, "woke" was once aggressively independent (probably before the term "woke" was used). Now it's aggressively conventional - though it may be a parody of what the independents meant.

I can recommend Mike Busch on that topic (like somebody did earlier).

Leaning is not only for better mileage. The engines usually do not like a fat mixture for prolonged periods of time... I can’t recall all the reasons, but I think a couple of mayor ones were: 1) lead in the avgas will foul the spark plugs for rich mixture settings which is a safety risk, 2) exhaust gas temperatures will be lower which can lead to a build-up at the exhaust valves which can lead to wear and failure and 3) you end up with more dirt in your oil which makes engine corrosion even a bigger possibility...

Lean if you love your engine. And read Mike Busch - because he has the facts better than I do...

> These hypothetical people are getting fired because their words cause real harm to people.

These people are not hypothetical and the statement is dehumanization. If you punch a coworker they will have a damage that could be measured and reported. On the other side you won't be able to measure how offended someone is (unless it goes against the law). Cancelling people for having their own ideas even if they are different from what is conventional transforms into a witch hunt for a "greater good".
I'm not sure EATV/AETV could be used fully instead of EAVT/AEVT as you would then lose the ability to have efficient range seeks across values. I do agree though that scanning all historical values in EAVT/AEVT is unsatisfactory for many use-cases as it makes the performance of ad-hoc as-of queries unpredictable.

By contrast, Crux [0] uses two dedicated temporal indexes: EVtTtC and EZC (Z-curve index) to make bitemporal as-of queries as fast as possible. These are distinct from the various triple indexes, which don't concern themselves with time at all. (Vt = valid time, Tt= transaction time, and C = the document hash for the version of an entity at a given coordinate)

You can look at it as the process of becoming director is itself approval for those kind of discetionary choices. When an organization works well, it entrusts power to those who have the judgement to use it well.

If someone needs to get ten different kinds of approvals, are they really a "director" for most meaningful senses of the word?
I think there are several historic precedents of advanced technology having a huge impact in sustaining or further advancing nation-states policies.

Think about Spanish and Portuguese caravels, english longbows, etc.

If your country somehow discovers something akin to electricity, probably fastly reproducible by other nations, you will probably want some extra time developing technology over the discovery, just to have maybe, 10-30 years edge over the rest. The more, the better.

This is not any news, US has done it already with the stealth technology (and they still have and edge on it, even if they're not making it public), nuclear technology (most of it are still closely guarded secrets, think hydrogen bombs), even most of the optical technologies related to satellites are highly guarded secrets.

Can we stop calling these people "Karen". I'm sure its very hurtful to all the people actually called Karen. We tread so carefully around race and LGBTQI issues, but all of a sudden its OK to start labeling entitled assholes "Karen". I don't get it. We don't need a new word for it.
May I ask what your going rates are for C# programmers? ($USD)

IMHO everything other than British English is a regional derivative. The software world has caught up to that fact and soon the popular language tests will follow. They would need to do the needful eventually. Lol.
Interesting. I thought that apple mostly did closed research, yet they are publishing in public conference.
Yeah, I worry that a lot of the use cases are in the most complicated and dangerous flight environments (mountains, big cities), even before you consider things like weather, airspace management, power margin at altitude...

>Also, I find the lack of a vertical stabilizer this plane to be an odd choice.

Not to mention any form of traditional aerodynamic control surface: "With 36 single-stage electric motors providing near-instantaneous thrust in almost any direction, control surfaces, such as rudders, ailerons or a tail, aren't required."

They've really doubled down on their VTOL shindig. Seems like a pretty big gamble making an aircraft that's entirely dependent on its propulsion system for basic aerodynamic stability and control (I'm also curious if the wings would make noticeably less lift in a glide). "Intrinsically simple design," huh?
It's like the RICO act or something.

The Indian people are doing this voluntarily at the direction of Foxconn who is doing this voluntarily at the direction of Apple.

Years ago, when I worked as a hall tech. I'd mark certain parts that had intermittent errors, whenever I RMA'd them, so that when I got them back later, I would immediately know. Because it was SOP to replace parts until the PC worked (not every tech was particularly good at troubleshooting), parts would end up coming back pretty regularly, since there was often nothing wrong with them. But it was super frustrating to get back the motherboard you knew had a faulty dimm slot, only to see that dimm slot fail for another machine replacement.
I just put up a few stills of my own restorations, some short demo videos, and Github repositories for the interface board and the software. I had no idea anyone would want to watch four hours of Teletype repair videos.

Model 15 and 19 Teletypes are not hard to work on. Everything comes apart easily; it's all screws and lockwashers. They're human scale; it's not like building surface mount electronics or repairing an iPhone, where you work under a microscope. The adjustments aren't that finicky, except for a few near the selector magnet. It also helps that the whole thing is unidirectional - there's a straightforward path from input signal to typebar hitting the paper, and you can work through problems in order. As a nice feature, movement is powered in one direction and spring-loaded in the other, so if something gets stuck, it's just stuck in the operated position and doesn't get bent or broken.

Aircraft are built like that. Some parts require careful adjustment, but there's almost always an easy way to check that you got it right. Because, after all, you can't fix it in flight.

Mechanical design has a design philosophy embedded in it. If you work on complex mechanical systems, you can sometimes get a feel for how the original designer thought. Good machinery design is not a common skill. All the good Teletypes were designed by only two people - Howard Krum and Ed Kleinschmidt.

Very few people study this any more in the US, which hurts when you need to design production machinery.

I don't think Google could "easily" outspend Disney. Google has 5 times the market cap but Disney's entire business model relies on intellectual property laws. Disney will go bankrupt defending those laws before they let them change. Google is not willing to spend billions of dollars on that sort of lobbying because it really doesn't impact their bottom line that much. IP doesn't factor in much to selling and serving ads.

I’m happy with this.

It allows me to directly support writers I like and it allows them to write high quality long form content on their own schedule without the corrupting influence of ads.

They can be more independently minded.

Paying for the NYT I support writers I think are great, but also writers I think are terrible (that Taylor Lorenz spat recently), also policy I think is wrong (pushing to publish Scott Alexander’s last name). Most of the tech reporting is similarly bad. I also get ads and I’m forced to call to cancel.

Vox produces some great stuff, but also recode and that no handshakes article mocking Silicon Valley for taking the pandemic seriously. I don’t want to support those writers.

It’s nice to support writers individually and directly.

Maybe Steven Levy or Li Yuan will do newsletters too.

> everyone else just wanted to be "a manager"...I'd asked about this strangenes

It isn't strange in the slightest. If you look outside tech, you'll find this in every industry in every country. Everywhere in the world the person in charge is more respected and better-paid than the person doing the work. And it's always been this way. Tech, and software-heavy tech in particular, is the outlier.
Hats off to people like Carlos Guestrin & John Giannandrea, who seem to have pushed a cultural shift through Apple. I didn't think I'd see a site like this a few years ago, based on Apple's historic reputation of strongly discouraging employees from publishing research.
So there are two things you do to take very long "exposures" like this for astrophotography:

1. You put the telescope on a motorized mount that rotates the telescope exactly counter to the rotation of the Earth (or I guess its orbit in the case of Hubble). This cancels out most of the blurry star trails you get from the Earth's rotation causing the stars to move across your frame.

2. For particularly long exposures, you take a series of separate photos (each of which is probably done using step 1). Then you "stack" those in software by aligning all of the images to maximize their sharpsness. There is software that will do this for you automatically. Stacking helps correct for thermal noise and other imperfections and non-linearities that photon sensors have when collecting for a really long time.

It's a good question.
