This will be flagged I'm sure, but the comments on Reddit, which I'd call a mostly pro BLM community are almost all against George Floyd from this video.

I feel like there will be a shift of significance from this. People are commenting their opinions are changed.

Are you sure those are matrix LED? They might just be standard LED on an uneven road.
Even some subsets have that property, like eg all the finite decimal fractions.
Because they cram the interns (who are young kids) into tiny offices and have antiquated Air Conditioning.
> The "AOA sensor disagreement" light is built into every cockpit,

While technically true, that sounds a bit misleading considering that the AOA DISAGREE warning "light" is just a text indicator on the primary flight display: https://www.boeing.com/resources/boeingdotcom/commercial/737...
Will?

Might.

And probably trivially more, especially when you factor in a software update bricking your fridge and the manufacturer has conveniently disappeared / gone bankrupt / changed hands so many times no one knows who supports it.

You’re assuming an ideal world, which can’t possibly happen.
> Why shouldn't the more aggressive, more strategic people earn more on average?

Because being "aggressive" and "strategic" are not the only two qualities useful to providing value to an employer. Hell, depending on your role, being aggressive can be a negative.
I actually just got the email as well and the first thing I did was to see if this was legit or not. Would love information if you guys could find any
I tend away from nationalistic exceptionalism and inferiorism. I tend to find one nation that seems very well together in one area is often all fouled up somewhere else. But I've just seen so many examples of America's inability to build working beaurocracy lately that I begin to wonder. This of course is a fairly trivial example but others are not.

I'm sure I'm consuming cherry-picked media and if I went looking I could find the U.K. government with its pants down over here or Japan up to something silly but I have been wondering of late.
Also you should always store hot water at a very hot temperature (Nasty bacteria thrive in warm water so you mustn't store it) but you should always mix it (with fresh cold water) to a lower temperature for bathing and washing.

So whether it's a tank of 80°C water or a tank of 65°C water make no difference to the 38°C water coming out of the thermostatic mixer in your shower.
You can't work on a regular table (like a church table) in a standing position. On a cloudy spring day, it's too cold to sit. You have to work standing, to keep the blood flowing.

Also, a folding church table is heavy to carry around. Part of all that weight comes from the fact that the table has to be of a reasonable size to be tall and stable. The best table like this is the pricy Roll-a-Table (it's not a church table) and I have it. But it's 12 lb to carry around which I didn't enjoy. And, I also had to carry also a chair (Roll-a-Chair), and at the end of it all, I couldn't work standing. So, on top of this a carried around a camping table that I put on top of the Roll-a-Table. Together with a laptop stand, it gave me a standing working position. All that complexity is gone with the Tree Table. I mount it at the height I need to work standing, and it's light to carry.

If I get the funding, I'll invest some part of it to see if I can make it disassemble more for better portability. If I don't come with a simplification, you get the table as in the prototype.
Any books about this ? Thanks
This is a very ethically complicated issue. Although, one I hope we can resolve with advances in technology without having to consider this.

Assuming this is a course people would agree to take, would it faster to convince society to adopt a new mindset or would it be faster to create ethical alternatives?
$5 for my privacy?? Better call Saul! He would know what to do! Justice for all!
Mine was well outside its warranty period and whatever Google was also offering, so I didn't even try to get a replacement or refund.

My recollection is that the problem was an LG manufacturing defect that also affected some of their self-branded phones released around the same time... but yes, I don't know that I'd call Google a "stand behind their product" company in the way some are.

I wouldn't really describe myself as upset with the lifetime of my 5X, but I definitely would have kept it longer. I shifted to the Nokia 6.1 which was fine although with its own quirks and issues, but the price was certainly right. I'm happy now with a Pixel 3a.
Supreme Court decisions come with majority and minority opinions because these things are clearly not facts. The government arbitrarily uses it's monopoly on force to entrench itself, leaving these "facts" to differ over time or by case.

Steve Jobs Insult Response – Highest Quality
sudo apt install qt5-default qtcreator

There's additional packages for certain things like multimedia formats, SQL support, and other specialized components, but that gives you everything you need for Qt Gui.

I think you could add `--install-suggests` to that command if you wanted to get everything and the kitchen sink.
I don't think that applies to conditional rendering, does it? You can't speculatively execute a graphics API command buffer submission and then dash after it shouting "wait, come back, I didn't mean it". Same with any kind of I/O, I'd think.
The concept of anchoring is pretty ancient, no?
This is why this industry should be nationalized
I think it is worth noting that some of the more surprising results in the behavioural economics literature have failed to replicate. A quick search will find many articles discussing this. I believe there is definitely a strong core in behavioural economics, but the especially "pop science" experiments (e.g. people walk more slowly when primed to think about old age, which IIRC is in "Thinking Fast and Slow") should be taken with a grain of salt.
> Qt is the best I've seen, but it has the normal c++ FUD

Not sure what you mean exactly; C++ is complex, but why the fear and doubt?

Also - Qt is based on veeery old C++ - a 22-year-old standard. The language has changed significantly since then, while Qt's fundamental design (in terms of programming) - not really, or not much. So, Qt is not "normal C++" these days.
SEEKING WORK | Amsterdam, remote only

I have 2 years of experience with ReactJS/NodeJS.

What people don't know about my though is that I've studied for 10 years worth of topics (9 years in official degrees) and can therefore tackle any programming problem. Including any general practical statistics problem as I've had 1.5 years worth of statistics courses.

Examples of the latter are:

- Programming in Java/Spring Boot for a client (3 months)

- Programming in Python (various engagements)

- Writing pentesting tools in C (I wanted to know how tcpdump works)

- Writing iOS apps in Objective-C (6 months of experience)

- Giving a course on information retrieval
Brands like Hyundai and Toyota have been coming out with sealed LED units for years, and they cost thousands to replace

The headlights are not that cheap. Expensive optics, expensive LEDs with carefully selected emission spectrums, cooling solutions.
> designing UIs anywhere outside the code will eventually bite you.

With Godot it is possible to design the UI in code--the editor itself uses that approach, e.g.: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/blob/27d12092821df77a61...

> you can practically throw your version control system out of the window for UI files.

While not "perfect" with VCS (there's a bit of automatic-generated file content churn at times), Godot stores its files (UI & other) as plain text (not even XML) with a very shallow hierarchy, e.g. here's a "scene" file from a project of mine: https://gitlab.com/RancidBacon/godot-foreigner-export-demo/-...

While I wouldn't really recommend two people working on one scene simultaneously, if it were necessary for some reason, Godot does provide the ability to separate a scene into "subscenes" which could be worked on independently.
Because it is. People can choose to pay more for a device that doesn't do that, but they don't (for various reasons). It's capitalism meets human psychology.
I definitely would like to know if this is legit or not. I just got the email too!
MSFT stock rise about 5.62% (or $100b), likely due to the news to take over TikTok in US. If this is a fair trade, one would not expect MSFT stock to increase.
You can also not define anything up front; then take the proof that Bob can enforce that there's no convergence to any rational number.

Next step, look at the process of playing the game, and show that you can define operations like adding any two games or comparing them for equality etc.

(In some sense, that would be similar to showing that Dedekind cuts define a sensible structure. With the added complication that the game doesn't have to converge to arbitrary small intervals, because the players could agree to leave a finite interval like [1/4, 3/4] untouched, eg Alice plays 1/4-1/n and Bob plays 3/4+1/n.

You'd just be defining interval arithmetic on real numbers.)
Hey :) Thank you!

Yes, I need to find people that decided to start blogging professionally and want to start writing as soon as possible. Meaning without going through the hoops of coming up with a blog name, search for an available domain, a fully custom process etc.

"we'll set the blog up for you, you tell us your brief" is a bit beyond the project's target, I intended the key point to be the ability to have a good online presence in 1 day (including social media), within a limited budget. I do brief-based custom work too, but outside of Visual Coffee.
Tricking the mind though can lead to higher churn rates (poorer retention rates) later. Most people do realize what the true value of their purchase is sooner or later - it might take a few cycles, e.g. monthly subscription payments to make the right conclusions. You might have a spike in your revenue figures now but you might see deteriorating retention indicators a few cycles later. In other words some (many? all?) "tricks" work only in the short term. In fact some of your users will leave your platform with the negative aftertaste of having been tricked.
Sprout24 – Software apps and products reviews
I use that functionality everyday without thinking about it.
People tried this, it's the most well known way. I haven't tried it, but I suspect that it doesn't work well. Why? There's no existing product on the market, despite the fact that it's a well known method. My guess that it's hard to level the table that way. Also, there's the patent on which the Tree Table is based (expired in 2001). Why was the patent made, if an alternate solution was easy?
I don't understand why you'd think that's a good metric.

If the Cxx team each makes 100x what the average employee makes, it doesn't matter if there are 10 employees or 10,000. There's rampant income inequality either way.
Taking away someone's transportation would be a bigger punishment than locking them inside a prison? Prisoners also can't drive cars around, so jail is a strict superset of that punishment.

I'm not going to take a hard position on it, but I'm at least mildly skeptical that jail would ever be appropriate for something that can be just as easily solved by progressive fines and revoking a license. Jails in the US are really awful, so they'd need to produce great results for me to prefer putting someone into one of them. And it's not clear to me that they even reduce recidivism rates for crimes of this nature any more than other alternatives.

We should be pretty hesitant to send people to prison. Particularly with the knowledge of how calls for increased "tough on crime" policing typically go in America -- well meaning people should keep in mind that advocating for the expansion of carceral laws often results in unintended consequences.
I can't speak for NYC, but in Sydney commercial properties are typically valued at a fixed multiple of the rent.

This matters because if they change the rent, any loan they've taken out now gets revalued, which could put them underwater. So in that case 80% is much worse than empty but at 100%.

This is why you'll see landlords giving a month's free rent, making rebates etc, while technically still charging 'full price'.
> hen you dont know your western history

Seems not too many tech people like history: if they did we would not be looping Greenspuns 10th rule derivatives on everything ; nosql, microservices, js, query languages, etc.
Wow, not one reference to Preston Tucker in this whole article. I searched for "Tucker" and the only match was C. Delores Tucker. Not what I expected.
Just as an aside, I think the phrase is “pay through the nose”. There is another phrase to “lie through your teeth” though, so maybe a it’s a “rocket surgery” type thing (I.e it’s not rocket science/brain surgery)

A quick google seems to indicate that it has been used, but my gut tells me it’s not right.

Slightly ironic given the subject of parent’s comments.

Ask HN: Making Sense of a FAANG Rejection
Hello all,

I’m using a throw away account so I don’t accidentally burn any bridges.

I recently interviewed at a FAANG (Facebook) and I got rejected. The part that confuses me is what they left me with. I was told that I did well on the behavioral and architecture portions of the interview, but they didn’t “have strong enough signal” from the technical.

For me, I’m baffled. I didn’t get stumped on any of the technical questions and I did have working solutions for every technical portion, including coming up with a solution one interviewer remarked as something they never saw before. So I’m very baffled. I’m really struggling to understand how I failed at this interview process despite what I feel were good solutions to the technical problems.

I was even told that I would have been an E4 if they had A slot open (honestly don’t know the scales well). I was also told that it was clear I have very strong domain knowledge and it was very apparent in the interviews.

I’m really struggling with this answer because on one hand I’m being told I did well and on the other I didn’t get adequate feedback about what they didn’t like despite explicitly asking. Is it a confidence thing? As someone who has very severe ADHD it can show when I’m nervous (I get very hyper and can really start to talk fast).

I can’t seem to wrap my head around this and now I feel like I blew up a life changing chance at bettering my life and those that depend on me.

Anyone have advice or insight to situations like this? I’m really struggling to make heads or tails of this situation
With this practice, your total pay is always equal to the minimum wage. You get minimum wage even if you earn no tips. In other words, the tips are worth zero to you, they just save your employer money.
First, decide what you're talking about. Then, say something about it.

You're obviously not talking about correlating hashes in password dumps here. What are you talking about?

> You're saying client-side hashing adds absolutely nothing, on the grounds that all hash function input is known because it is the client, and that it may as well be plaintext at that point.

No, this is just gibberish you made up to put in my mouth.
I’ve occasionally thought about something similar for political debates/speeches since we k le how much presentation swings impressions. When really we should care about reasoning.
So after reading some top comments (see Tesla review discussion) it looks like the bullshit is on both sides of the paywall.
Upd: grammar.
For instance: payments. Europe and Asia got chip cards and tap-to-pay decades before we did, even though Mastercard and Visa took part in their invention. America had credit card infrastructure first, so our payment networks were stuck with it, while other countries could start off with better stuff.

Without the consumer demand that Google/Apple Pay (and later coronavirus) created, we still probably wouldn't have widespread tap-to-pay.
What if you were as competent as your better paid colleague but were just in a situation that limited your bargaining power at the time of hiring? Say you just had a baby or you're suffering from a disease and depend on your employer's insurance? You can't afford to not have the job, while your better paid colleague could walk away.

Every negotiation favors the person who can afford to walk away from the deal.

In a salary negotiation, this puts healthy, young, and single people at an advantage. It penalizes people with disabilities, disease or dependants - the most vulnerable groups.

That's where the demand for open and fair compensation comes from.
Nice one. I extended that idea by adding it to my favourites so I don't have to type it each time.
I like it for locking, especially on large parking lots where not one is bothered by it anyway. Most honks on double locking are short and not as loud as normal honking. I never used it in a residential area but for supermarket parking lots it's a nice feature and I can't see how it would bother anyone.
I have no idea but could be related to use of the color yellow for caution / hazard lights, construction vehicles or turning lights.
Thanks for the changes! Interestingly enough, it seems to have had very little / no effect on the growth rate. Nice to have the precision in the outputs.

Run with 5 million iterations per size:

15 size: 2514.4287536 steps (1.413 growth)

16 size: 3543.3930332 steps (1.409 growth)

17 size: 4986.7099864 steps (1.407 growth)

18 size: 7008.892906 steps (1.406 growth)

19 size: 9834.1058896 steps (1.403 growth)

20 size: 13806.3093036 steps (1.404 growth)

Also seems like it converges to a value below sqrt2, which doesn't surprise me. The function that drives the behavior just doesn't feel like it would end up on an irrational number for a growth rate.

I don't understand why this would be a breach of logic. If nobody wears a mask, then nobody is protecting others, so then infections.
If we are talking about flights and not hulls, then you should include every incident report by every pilot on any issues - it wasn't only times MCAS acted up .
Someone should do a study comparing the two labor markets. There’s definitely a thesis somewhere in there for an economics PhD student. How is it that two very similar industries that nearly share the same talent pool can have radically different outcomes for their employees?

Imagine how many game devs there are who are roommates with web devs, or who went to college together. How is it that the web devs don’t tell their friends “you need to quit that awful 90hr/week job that pays you shit and come work at my company”? Or why don’t startups try to lure game devs? I’m sure many of them could figure out Rails or React in no time. They would surely be able to offer slightly lower wages in exchange for a (comparatively) better work life balance.

I'm trying doing this with Unity.

My main issue is the amount of learning necessary for doing "simple" stuff - I think onboarding of new people will be a challenge.

But I guess time will tell :-)

That said i do enjoy the experience - and some of the "game" features do give an amazing opportunity to make a nice interface.

I you go this route, do prepare yourself to spend your hours very different - making an animation takes no time - making a simple tab sequence takes time :-)
If you're near the knob, and you have a clean hand, and a free hand, and your motor control is fine, and your lights are wired to switches how you want to control them (some people want individually controlled bulbs, but that's a lot of switches and knobs).

BTW, always on the lookout for an offline only voice activated clock with multiple timers. wifi for NTP only is also acceptable; no cloud allowed. 98% of what we use the voice assistants for is task timers; it's nice to have those voice activated so everyone knows they were set.

Oh, if we're talking about 10+ years, then I definitely want to test that they can code, and make sure I get a good read on their attitude. You get a lot of "architect" types who think they are too good for coding now and can hand down their glorious wisdom from above, when in reality they were kind of mediocre engineers to begin with, are now even more divorced from the reality of their decisions, and come up with worse designs than if you had just left it to some juniors to figure out themselves.

But yes, for senior candidates, I'm doing a lot less coding and a lot more design and architecture, because that should be what they can offer differentiated from their less experienced peers. And I'm also going to be looking for their interviewing skills and philosophy, because they will probably end up doing more of the interviewing and thus team-building, not to mention the culture they set by all the juniors looking up to them.
Are they actually developed by Mercedes? Or do they have exclusive contracts with a supplier like Bosch?
> Many people are robotic when it comes to using these products,

Many people aren't just robotic, they're straight up ritualistic.

I've worked with several people that are absolute wizards at PowerPoint, love to get new features, and quickly integrate them into their workflows.

But those same people have absolutely no mental framework for how Excel works. They'll quite literally use a physical calculator (or their phone's calculator app) in tandem with Excel, treating Excel as a glorified text editor that lets you do cell-by-cell text placement/formatting. They have such a weak grasp of how Excel works that any tiny change whatsoever doesn't just cause extreme frustration, but also extreme anxiety as they scramble to re-establish the thin veneer of usability they previously held.

Having witnessed the above more than once, I've taken to heart the level of naivety that should be presumed when creating UX flows and documentation.
