That's not to say that everyone who took a puncture wound from a hatpin was grievously injured, but you shouldn't be so casually dismissive of the fact that they could do very real harm. Regardless of its intended utility, a foot of sharp metal is still a foot of sharp metal when it bites into flesh.
This sounds to me like seriously bad API design. I'm not saying the low-level functions that allow handling fancy situations aren't important but shouldn't the default be "it just works" and not "you must write 1000s of lines code exactly correctly or else your program will fail and you'll be powned"

This reminds me of Jonathon Blow's rant on similar issues on XBox and PS2/3 where the API, instead of doing the right thing by default required the developer to spend days/weeks using it correctly and having their app rejected over and over and in this particular case there was zero good reason for it not to handle the issues itself rather than pass it all on to the developer.
I think it's just more cost effective to hire anyone in any other country, thanks to living costs and lack of opportunity in some countries.
Maybe you should learn the basics about a topic before trying to argue about it. The Boring company fund raiser is not based any promises about Hyperloop.
No comment on your particular example, but the opposite approach is more common than I'd personally like and also not ideal -- if you're doing anything nontrivial it's probably worth doing a back of the envelope calculation to ensure you have enough disk, memory, and network throughput for your favorite solution to handle the expected load.
So a subway but only for 8 people?
Yeah, I feel like the phrasing is just completely wack. It's one thing if the argument is that execs do bring value, and you need to pay that much to have good execs, but

>That's too big a discount to ask people and their families to commit to.

80% discount sounds like a lot... until you realize her salary is 2.5 million/year. I'm preeetttty sure most families will do just fine on 500k a year.
Thanks for sharing it, it does seem to have that feature built-in the browser instead of an extension. Now the Chicken and Egg problem is shifted to browser adoption instead of extension!

I used to get testy when people rinsed the dishes before loading the dishwasher. Then one day I had to take it apart and dig out rice, plastic, beans, and other things that were stopping it up.
I used to be a part of this when the tracking party was manned and I was engine room sup.

Using the computer tools For fusion was definitely interesting (90’s X11 gore), with a large palette of modeling tools, but the coolest experience was being taught to time/range plot on paper by the mustang weps.
I actually think the dishwasher and clothes washer/dryer has done more increase quality of life (especially women's) in the past 100 years than any other invention. IMO they are the ultimate in time-saving inventions, taking a task of pure drudgery and cutting down on the time. Only missing piece IMO is a decent clothes folding machine.
This is false. In the case of the original Hyperloop idea which crosses the San Andreas Fault, a major earthquake on that fault in line with the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco should produce accelerations the ground surface within 10 km of the fault in either direction of around 1 g (i.e., 9.8 m s^-2), corresponding to Modified Mercalli intensities of disruption to people and infrastructure of X ("Extreme: Some well-built wooden structures destroyed; most masonry and frame structures destroyed with foundations. Rails bent")[1] Vertical Accelerations above 1 g will literally throw anything not bolted to the ground into the air. Not much will make it through this unscathed.

This isn't to say that engineering around these sorts of events is impossible. The Transalaksa oil pipeline crosses the Denali fault, and during the M7.9 Denali earthquake in 2002, the pipeline survived because it was built on sliders near the fault so it would bend when the earth shifted instead of breaking [3]. However, this is a big bend in the pipe; the lateral displacements are on the order of 5-10 m in an earthquake of this size, over a similar across-fault distance. Do you want to go at Hyperloop velocities through a tube with a bend this sharp?

Cool launch, it looks great! One thing I would say is that, while I love the honesty, hearing that this is your third project in the past 8 months is not exactly what I want to hear from my B2B provider.

From the product side: I hate chat bubbles due to my experience with the existing ones. I like that yours is subtle but visible. However, I have found it annoying to have the chat bubble in a fixed position and inevitably one of my pages ends having content that clashes.

Like others have said it would be very interesting to me to instead have Chat/Support be a link in the navbar that takes users to a chat page (or opens the chat in the current page). But I am not really sure if that would reduce the number of people who initiate chats. As you continue to work in this space I would find it valuable if you were able to help people like me make a more informed decision.
But even then a statement, “there was no difference between genders, p=...” would have been useful

I think the counterpoint in the US is that most cities are very far apart and there is practically nothing in between. Obviously places like the northeast corridor or the Bay Area are much more dense. But even a route from SF->Seattle is mostly traveling through non-dense areas. That gets even better across the west and Midwest

One important point that the article totally misses is the economic part.

Someone with a personal growth mindset very likely spend most of their time minding their own business, whatever that would be.

A person with a victim mentality could be an order of magnitude more socially active. They feel that they are fighting for justice and changing the world to the better, so they would spend countless hours trying to argue their point. And in the world where the views and clicks translate into advertisement dollars, this creates a very unhealthy incentive. Literally, a permanently unhappy person obsessed with pouring their unhappiness on others generates more advertising revenue than a happier person spending their evening cooking or playing video games with their friends.
This 5,000 is the top 10% of TSMC employees, and the article says China is hiring engineers at all levels in the company, so I’m already tilting the deck quite a bit.
Which means it should definitely NOT be censored.
>the subject of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa was married to a slave trader; one possible model for Titian’s Venus of Urbino, a famous Venetian courtesan, was gang-raped; and the Florentine Republic symbolized by Michelangelo’s David came to an end in 1530 with the sack of the city and ensuing slaughter of thousands.

This is as jarring as listing the injuries during a riot: two paper cuts, one beheading, a sprained ankle.

Who cares about a gang rape when a sack involved a few hundred of them at the same time?

The term “dark ages” is a periodization popularized in the mid 19h century. It’s not commonly used in academic discourse because it is nonspecific and subjective in its definition.

I have always found this a nearly unassailable argument in favour of the swiss model.
Ah, I had never heard of that term Gish gallop, but I've definitely heard people using that strategy, so thanks for the highlight on that. It actually reminds me of a goal of disinformation and even differential privacy—make it more expensive (e.g., time, money, energy) to investigate the truth.

I'd like to think that this conversation on HN hasn't been that way—at times I felt lost in the weeds and yet I feel pretty confident in how I see it now.

That there are two main questions:
1) Should the USPS be significantly changed (e.g., privatized, more efficient, restructured, etc.)?
2) Should the USPS be significantly changed now?

After these comments, I'm much more concerned with the second question, because I can imagine there will be a lot of people who want it drastically changed but still can't explain why now is the time to do it, as I haven't seen many arguments here that convince me that the change is urgent and unrelated to the election.

Also Alfie Kohn’s Punished by Rewards, a thick tome dedicated to the research and reasons of how and why punishment and rewards don’t teach what’s intended and don’t motivate as intended... and how extrinsic motivation kills intrinsic motivation.

Withdrawing rewards is punishment so both are really the same.

Human beings are not designed to be trained like rats and birds, regardless of what many believe.

If your kid is good at something and you want them to lose interest, encourage or reward them for doing the thing :)

Or force them to do it.

Then you've created a logistics nightmare of tracking who gave what so that they can get their fair share of the cut, and inevitably parasites will emerge to exploit that network too.

Would that be any better?...
Then again, if one is more interested in practically applicable tips, the book How To Talk So Kids Will Listen... And Listen So Kids Will Talk is great too -- for all kinds of interpersonal relationships.

It covers empathy (actually listening and confirming feelings) but is largely about how to enable extrinsic motivation, through encouraging autonomy, mastery, and purpose.

One rather concrete example is that the authors argue it is no good to say, e.g. "if you take a bath you'll get this nice gift" or "if you don't take a bath I will remove your video gaming time for the day."

More effective, according to the authors, are to give a choice, even if it is somewhat of a forced one: "I want you to take a bath. Do you want to bathe with your boat or your duck?"

This, then, would speak to the same desire to explore as the hidden option in the article. (Or, the way I view it having read Drive: this gives the child a hint of autonomy.)
Don't particularly see a problem here since the cardboard is still getting recycled. Seems like a nifty arbitrage opportunity. Wish the government would channel their profits to creating a superior service instead of prosecuting their competition. Obviously there's nuances but still.
Anyone have a quick tldr on the differences between Jupyter Lab, Jupyter Book, and Jupyter Notebooks?
PPP becomes meaningless when you try to buy international standard products or services which are almost always priced in USD, irrespective of purchasing parity.

This also holds true for products and services which are needed for professional skill development and their upkeep. The massive disparity between some countries’ PPP and nominal revenue/income is foolishly portrayed by some economists as a good thing, but at an individual level it’s a huge disadvantage.

Where it is relevant is groceries, fully local services and products.

a) an interest in having this visualisation, and

Thank you. Much appreciated, the feed and everything leading up to it, right back from the initial discussion.
Having worked with Hibernate recently on a smallish database (that isn't expected to grow too big), my take away is to minimize the network trips. If you have to check something for a list/set of things and all of that can be done from, say, two not so big tables, fetch the superset of records via a join with as much criteria pushed to predicates as efficiently possible and handle rest of the logic in application code. It is so much more quicker. Of course, like most things in software, conditions apply like network latency/total no. of records being fetched by the query/potential for data to suddenly grow etc.

i think the utilitarian mindset is very pervasive (but for good reason) - work that does not generate excess value is called idleness. If you paint a painting for yourself to enjoy, and have no desire nor ability to sell it to somebody else, it's called idleness.

There's a reason why these activities are often funded by patronage in the old days (nobles and kings etc).
The free market does not determine economic priorities. People, making choices with limited resources and having to priorities, determine economic priorities. The free market is then able to compute, using billions of people making operation to optimize in exchange for profit, what is the most optimal way of organizing production, which actualizes prices, which allows consumers to actualize demand. This process is prone to massive inefficiencies such as the business cycle, and has a cost to the consumer which is profit. If one was able to reproduce it without recessions and depressions, and with a rate of profit of zero, the economy would have much higher efficiency and growth.

In a planned economy, consumers, be it governmental consumers or average workers, make choices with limited monetary resources about what should be purchased. If there is too much demand, then you end up with a shortage, until the next 5 year plan in which the central planners of the politburo look over the shortage and surplus, do some predictions, and re-allocate supply as well as actualize prices. This is an issue, because there is a 5 year updating period, and planners are prone to error as well as erroneous information.

If your planners had accurate real-time information, and were able to re-calculate the economy every day or so, then the issues of over-supply or under-supply, "orders for factories to produce the wrong things in the wrong quantities" would be fixed.

Maybe this stems from a misconception according to which, in a planned economy, there is no money or no consumer, no buyers and sellers. It is not so. Planned economies have money, they have sellers and buyers, and so on. What is being replaced is the role of the investor and capitalist, which decides where to allocate resources. Therefore, the issue is not in calculation of end-consumer demand, that is the same as in capitalism, the issue is in organization of production. A Marxist would formulate it by saying that the Soviet economy has not abolished the commodity form.

If the Soviets were able to make a 5-year plan every day, and had instant and perfectly accurate supply information, the vast majority of economic inefficiencies would have disappeared. Or, in other words, the factories would have quickly updated orders to produce the things the people want in exactly the quantity they want it.

I'm confused by this quote:

"And theft is hardly ever reported by companies, because why would they? If magic pixies have nicked their waste cardboard then it means they don't have to pay a firm like mine to come and pick it up. So they are going to keep schtum [quiet]."

So... these gangs are wandering around picking up cardbord from business that would have otherwise had to pay for someone to haul it off? Sounds like a public service! Something is fundamentally wrong here.
Propagation of noise is a big deal. "Noise immunity" is one of the defining features of digital systems. The copy is identical to the original, even over many generations of copying. While ML can tolerate some noise, the sheer amount that can pile up from one end to the other of a signal chain might still give pause.

This is why some of the pioneers of information theory and digital systems worked for the phone company. ;-)
But why should I have to compete with developers of the same skill level who can afford to take a much, much lower salary than I can? Especially when I took out American debt to attend an American university so I can live in America and work an American software job.

This echoes my favourite passage from Marcus Aurelius’s Meditations:

“If any action of yours, then, does not have direct or indirect relation to the social end, it pulls your life apart and destroys its unity.”

That said, keeping yourself mentally healthy is just as important, to the social end.
Good point. A little hyperloop is nothing compared with CERN.
Punished by Rewards is in my reading heap but rather far down. Maybe I should prioritise it slightly higher.

> Human beings are not designed to be trained like rats and birds, regardless of what many believe.

I'd just want to add that according to Drive, training humans like rats and birds work great... If blind obedience, conformity, and minimal quality is something you're looking for -- which many factory line type managers wanted, for a very long time (and in many cases probably still do, sadly.)

Damnit, if Punished by Rewards contradicts this, I have to read it now, don't I?
How VCs Judge Your Startup (On Zoom)
I know (I'm also up-voting you).

But here's an example: Mozilla folded part of the Servo team into the Mixed Reality team earlier, and now they have been let go. Many people (incl me) thought that an efficient engine such as Servo will play a big role in the future of Mozilla, with devices going multi-core and apps with embedded browser engines (like Slack, Teams) becoming mainstream. And now, we're at a dead end. The quality of talent that was let go is stratospheric, as you can see from all the interest in hiring coming from various companies.

The whole thing has flopped and the browser has lost market share, and if I were Mitchell Baker I'd seriously question my ability to lead Mozilla. She can play senior roles in many companies including Mozilla, but not the CEO.
I don't know if you've seen the latest, but Greenland just had record ice gain during the middle of the ordinary melt season, after an already substantially strong year (and 3 out of the last 4 years have seen substantial gains): http://polarportal.dk/en/greenland/surface-conditions/ we are thousands of years away from polar melting, if ever.

We have less war than they did prior to the industrial revolution. Prior to industrial revolution we didn't even have the resources to care about extinctions and they were happening anyways.

The JupyterLab extension system is the biggest offender imo.

"Oh, I need to install the python package and the jupyter extension separately? And there are no breadcrumbs if I install one but not the other? And I have to figure out which versions are mutually compatible with each other and jupyterlab because 'everything latest' sure isn't? And I have to install extensions to get features that used to be built-in? And then I have to explain the install procedure to the person I'm trying to share with, twice, because he didn't believe me the first time? UGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH"

It's also the whole idea is stupid, unlike spaceX and the boring company which took some technology which was used thousands of times and now trying to incrementally improve it, the hyperloop is basically a maglev in a vacuum. But there are only 2 or 3 high speed maglevs operational right now, shouldn't we wait until there are at least 100 maglev lines before we go to the next stage of sticking them into a pipe? Did we already reaped all the benefits of a regular maglev line like we did with space crafts or tunnelling machines? It's no wonder Musk didn't create a company, he just through a stupid idea into the air and all kind of other delusional companies are wasting investor's money on it.
Fritz Lanman: The Man Behind This $1B Fitness Class Sensation
xattt says>"(2) Proteins, like supplements, eggs, less cooked meats or cat food, tend to denature more and get stuck/baked to dishes to the point of needing a rewash."<

Proteins are softened and loosened by soaking in water. Many glues are protein-based and, for that reason, protein-glued items should not be exposed to high humidity or water. For example, most violins are glued with animal hide/hoof or fish protein glues.

Soaking protein in plain water will eventually loosen it completely. The process is reversible: drying re-hardens the protein.
