The blurring of government and the trumps is gross
I'm sure it depends on the challenge. Most folks that I'd consider geniuses just relentlessly pursue the things they're interested in. Depending on the topic, this gives them enough ability to get by the basic concepts tested in school. And then later in life, a good career if they're lucky (definitely lucked out being interested in computers).

I think these people are still working hard in a sense, they just have a low tolerance for work that doesn't interest them.
Your comment and the parent's comment both resonated with me, as someone who also finds himself "stuck".

What do you suggest that someone do in this situation--one where they want to reset their career, carve out a new one, etc.?
How many examples do you need ? Will you be satisfied by a dozen or a hundred ? Just asking in advance before compiling.
I am afraid that your assertion of cognitive dissonance should be directed at yourself. Frankly, this research can be done by anyone who hasn't closed their minds to the matter.

In China, all corporate decisions involve the CCP.

It was a rhetorical question
The interesting thing is that this didn't have anything to do with the quality of the plane at all - they were working on the simulator, and their messages were about how they wouldn't trust their family on planes trained using that simulator. As far as I know, the simulator in question was never used since the whole point of the whole mess was to ensure pilots trained on the existing 737 were allowed to fly the Max without any extra simulator training.
This proposed AD would require installing new flight control computer (FCC) software, revising the existing Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to incorporate new and revised flight crew procedures, installing new MAX display system (MDS) software, changing the horizontal stabilizer trim wire routing installations, completing an angle of attack sensor system test, and performing an operational readiness flight.

You’re living through a Cold War, you just haven’t realised it yet.
Losing it is my biggest reason for needing the audio jack. I not only lose dongles I also lost my expensive Airpods even with the Find My app. I also lose my wired earbuds but at least they're cheap. I know many people that don't have as big a problem with losing things, maybe it's a personality thing.
You're right, I misspoke.
While Boeing totally screwed the pooch on this one, and I won't be choosing to fly on one if I can, the public having more confidence in a system than its creators/domain experts isn't exactly uncommon. Would you trust your medical record privacy to Windows XP running AVG?
I have two at 4x4TB, so it's still much too expensive to go SSD. I was planning an SSD cache with 2x512GB SSDs in RAID1 for the next build but now I'm wondering how long it will take to be able to go all SSD.
I truly wish I'd ever worked anywhere that would actually allow this. There are too many mandatory meetings that simply don't make this feasible for (what I would assume is) a large portion of the populace.
Yes. The reference clients recently started displaying those differently from group conversations, but the visual distinction has been pretty minor so far.
I'm not sure how this makes any sense, except from some business custom.

Quote from article:

"The United States should be reimbursed or paid a substantial amount of money, because without the United States they don't have anything," he said.

The "he" here is Trump and by "United States", the article seems to mean the US government treasury, but that's not explicit. "United States" may mean something else here, especially in light of "without the United States they don't have anything".

And that brings me to the real point: why should some entity other than whoever owns TikTok right now get money from the sale of it? Sure, taxes, but that's fraction of the deal, not a "substantial portion". But the logic doesn't hold up. Let's look at another example. Facebook buys Instagram. Should Instagram pay the "United States" (whatever that means) a substantial part of the deal's net because "without the US, Instagram doesn't have anything"? I don't get that at all. Perhaps someone else has insight?
I would imagine, with a bit of work, you could write something for X-Plane to replicate the issues. X-Plane is pretty extendable and already has configurable failures, including pitch trim runaways.

That makes no sense. The people at the usps are federal employees (aka not a third party) and know the ramifications for tampering with the mail. I trust them to handle people’s votes over a volunteer everyday of the week. Opening more voting locations is a state responsibility, but when one party has a history of shirking their responsibilities and disenfranchising minorities then states ran by that party are hard to trust.
Because most of your code can be safe? Kernels have many internal objects and data structures and algorithms that could be managed in safe code, with unsafe only used around the edges. The idea with Rust unsafe is that the unsafe portions are not 100% of the whole, and can be located relatively easily.
> broad powers and laws to achieve political ends, that have no sense of justice or equity

This is the central thesis of the US Federal government. I don't know why people are under any other impression.
Boeing owns enough of the US legislature through bribery or in-district employment to never, ever, ever have to worry about bankruptcy or any other adverse market impact.

Will they be allowed to teeter on the edge of insolvency? Sure. Fall over? Not when taxpayer money is free and infinite.
Aux port is useful for much more than earbuds. I plug in an aux cable daily in my car (GPS + podcasts = need power and aux slot simultaneously, or a several hundred dollar head unit upgrade to have halfway decent bluetooth, or a dongle that does both and the hope i dont forget it if i use a rental car).

Use with my existing headphones/aux cables around my house, same port as my desktop/laptop, same port as various devices at my relatives houses, never need to hunt to find a dongle, (especially when most people i know have iphones - so no usb-c dongles anywhere)

TL;DR: Aux cables are useful to me daily, dongles are a pain in the ass, bluetooth doesnt fit my use case or equipment i already use. Aux port has value to me and options still exist to get phones with an aux port so I vote with my wallet.
This might actually be a good thing in the long run. Real estate prices in NYC were insane before the pandemic, landlords would purposefully keep property off the market and toss out long established businesses on hopes of scoring a payday from a new renter. Now we are in a situation where it is just impossible to pack enough people into a space to earn a profit at $3700 per square foot. No doubt it will cause some people a lot of pain up front but eventually it might be possible for small businesses and families to be in Manhattan again.

I would absolutely love to see a log of food you've eaten over the past few weeks.
It’s all absurdly shortsighted and instead of throwing helicopter cash around the Fed should have sat all major banks and asset managers around and said “we’ll support your principal but you agree to a moratorium on coupon payments on MBS” and then force these to be passed on to landlords and then on to tenants. Everyone gets (mostly) what they want.
(For whatever it's worth, I was sincerely wondering because I don't know what the actual labor constraints on these companies/agencies might be. I suspected they aren't enough to make much of a difference when developers walk away in protest, and so I asked.)

(Also, I think it was clear that I was questioning strategy not morality.)
Start blocking time as “tentative” in chunks, then when it gets too much adjust the chunk to fit the meetings you need / want to attend and set the rest to busy.

I’ve been doing that for the past few years I also usually have chunks set as busy for the morning end of day to make sure I get an orderly start and end of each day.

At least anecdotally my productivity has improved.

I get an hour at the start and end of each day to catch up and tie any loose ends to make things don’t fall between the cracks.

It really depends on your organization and workload tho so ymmv.
Hit up their public accounts such as Twitter/facebook etc. They will probably respond more promptly there. Be nice about it and let them know the issue in a clear and coherent way.
(Not using wireless charging either)

One advantage is that it does not destroy the USB port. Constant plugging and unplugging can really wear some ports after 1-2 years, depending on manufacturing quality. To the point that it won't charge anymore. (Hopefully will be less of an issue with USB-C which seems better designed than microUSB). Plus the convenience.
I don’t have a normal head
Well one night I was jumping on the couch and then I hit my head on the the arm rest and I cracked my head open don’t worry I’m not stupid after that but I was before the end
A boy can dream, can’t he?
Also, there's a basic line-of-sight system for scenery ratings, with lower ratings for haulers, employee-only paths, and employee-only buildings, so you actually have a reason to build walls and fake scenery to block views of the 'backstage' areas that haulers pass through.
You discount how easily and quickly it is for countries (e.g. the US) to go full retard, when the evidence is literally right in your face. That's what a blind ideologue looks like, folks.
Oh piss off. Who exactly is being helped by that?
Ask HN: A kind request please about the use of acronyms?
Fellow Hacker News' readers,

I need to confess something: as a non-English speaker, most of the time I'm embarrassed to ask what that 'X' or 'Y' acronym means.

To give an example, NLP.

Is it
* Neuro-Linguistic Programming?
* Natural Language Processing?
* Network Layer Protocol?
* Natural Language Paradigm?

...and so on.

9 out of 10 times, I have to patiently look for the comments and pray to find an answer somewhere in thread(s) to save myself from embarrassingly asking.

Now I have decided to take the risk to do so, as I have accumulated countless of acronyms, thanks to Web Development, and not only lol!

Are we getting lazier than ever to type a whole word, let alone a normal sentence, or is it my idea?

Can you English-speaking people help us understand your language better?

Thank you very much and please accept my apologies in advance if I have offended anyone.
Turn on "showdead" in account settings. This will show comments from banned users.

I am only guessing they were autobanned. Comment history from the time of the banning doesn't show anything particular egregious that would trigger a manual ban.
Microsoft is not a technology company at its core. You have to look at it as a conglomerate similar to Berkshire Hathaway except MSFT focuses on investing in technology companies. The reason why this works is because their cap cost is one of the lowest and they are able to use its shares to more or less retain talent at a steep discount as a result.
It'd take a pretty fancy home force feedback system to be able to simulate forces in the multiple-pound range, which I think is what it'd take to give an accurate simulation.
For those who are against US retaliation to China, how do you propose competing when China forces transfer of IP, blacklists companies and people when they make public statements they do not like, and bans apps[1] when apps do not fall inline with China's unethical policies? (I'm being generous here when I say China bans apps for political reasons when they can easily ban to be anti competitive.)

Also, thinkpads are still a bussiness line of laptops aimed at the corporate market.

having a ton of options makes a lot of sense when it allows you to bring the price down. Making a change that saves you 50$ of a 1000$ laptop might not seem like a big deal, but it adds up if you buy a couple of hundred of them.
Id taxes are raised, will tax income automatically go up?

Reading through this book you’ll understand that higher taxes often mean less tax revenue, and vice versa.

Many people get stuck on zero sum game.

This isn’t a mathematicians book.

This is a book so people don’t think stare bonds are free money, etc.
These forces were due to a design issue. Despite 737 ain't fly by wire it still has hydraulics, I think even 2 independent ones for redundancy.
>> Whether it works is of secondary importance to making people feel like something is being done, even though in practice there's very little anyone can do.

There might be stuff we can do indoors, but state government agencies aren't funding fast research into it - efficacy of filters and alterations to HVAC systems like installing UV-C lamps in them. Instead it's just "wear masks and take temperatures and get mad at people when they don't wear masks," which is perfect shirking of responsibility that large organizations love to do.

>Even if they think they can force the current tenant into bankruptcy and collect, there won't be much to collect after taking away the tenant's only income stream.

A lot of landlords have no choice. They themselves are businesses, often leveraged to the hilt, with not a whole lot of room to offer grace.

And yes, I realize there are massive REITs behind some of these properties, that have large earnings and reap huge windfalls for shareholders. That doesn't mean they're equipped to receive no income for months during a pandemic. It's sort of the way our economy works: right on the edge at all times.
Whoa. This looks really promising now.
"If you have an Xbox and need a game, and you could install a Nintendo game on your Xbox, then Xbox games and Nintendo games would be the same market. But since you can't, they're not."

Sorry, that makes no sense. Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo all compete in the market of video games. They are not competing in three separate markets of "video games for Xbox", "video games for Playstations", and "video games for Nintendos". Nintendo games are substitutes for Xbox games, even though you can't take a Nintendo game and directly plug it into an Xbox.

As another commenter put it, you're gerrymandering the definition of the market to suit your argument.
Too many cars and parking downtown. If we had outdoor seating with European style restaurants, I think we could safely distance and downtown would be booming. Check out Chestnut st. Almost every restaurant has a parklet now and it's packed.
They mean what qualified person is going to take that job. If you're qualified to run a company that size, you can make much more than $500k.

I've been incredibly lucky to work with Alex on several projects, including DeepDream. He's amazing. If you think you have a new idea about how to understand neural networks, there's a decent chance Alex did a prototype of it five years ago.

Regarding DeepDream, it often feels to me -- I don't wish to speak on behalf of Alex or Mike -- that we didn't really understand what our results meant when we published DeepDream. It was kind of like discovering that warped glass can distort and magnify images: a really interesting discovery, but a lot more work was needed to turn it into a scientific instrument like glass can be used to form a microscope. As the community got single neuron or direction feature visualizations that worked well, lots of research possibilities began to open up. And in retrospect, one of the most important tricks was jitter, which Alex introduced. This style of feature visualization is probably the single tool I rely on most in my research to this day.

(If you're curious what this has led to as we've continued to pursue it, check out Circuits (https://distill.pub/2020/circuits/zoom-in/), Building Blocks (https://distill.pub/2018/building-blocks/) and Activation Atlases (https://distill.pub/2019/activation-atlas/).)

I'd also encourage people to check out Alex' new line of research, Neural Cellular Automata (https://distill.pub/2020/growing-ca/). I think it's a really interesting line of exploration. And as usual, Alex has an incredible deep trove of small fascinating results relating to NCA if you talk to him about it.
We took a small stab at this at Alexa a few years ago with Follow-up Mode (default off, you have to enable it in the settings since that continued listening should be up to the customer) that allows you to keep interacting with Alexa for "follow-up" utterances to know when you're done with the conversation, but it's not quite the same as just allowing for a single run on utterance or set of commands in quick succession, just turn taking without the need for a wakeword for the next interaction. Alexa determines you're done with some set keywords like "thank you" and stops listening, as well as using ML to understand when you're not talking to her anymore.

The parent also wasn't arguing they always make wise choices, just that the grandparent's choice was unwise, which you haven't proved to be false.
In college I took a reading class for quantum computation .

The thing I learned about reading anything is reading the abstract and the ending and then reading the middle part if you find it interesting.
It depends on the car model, but if it's a European make, then you may be able to get the ECE spec assemblies and just install them as is.
