There is a role for art education, and for providing context in which art can be understood. However, the hierarchical ranking of artists by critics in to "great" and "minor" is often just a matter of taste and opinion, and that's what I object to.

I can't count the number of times I've gone in to famous museums and galleries and found them stocked to the gills with art that I considered absolute and utter garbage.

Now, of course the curators, critics, and gallery owners who extol such art have a different opinion of this art than I do, or they wouldn't have put it in to their museums and galleries, but really who's to say their opinion is any better than anyone else's?

It wasn't my intention to shift the blame - clearly the manufacturers should be strung up for making the false claims they did. Absolutely no argument there.

My point is though, that doctors shouldn't blindly trust whatever a manufacturer tells them, if the evidence right in front of their eyes says different.
Yeah fair enough. You can get SLA parts electroplated, although it will still be more matte than glossy unless they are polished, which would increase the price, and it would probably be cheaper to just do the brass casting option at that point.

Also- one of my coworkers recently got a custom wedding band and he went through a similar process to the one you went through of looking at vendors, trying to find the right material, etc. He wanted a pretty customized ring, and one of the things he added was the embossed outline of a lake that had special significance to him. Not sure how many people would have similar requests, but it would be cool to allow something similar. Maybe just have the option to upload a black and white picture and use that to create an embossed feature.
I've asked this question a number of times in interviews. Sadly, not one person has ever talked about debouncing. I think I would've instantly hired the person, if they talked about debouncing :P

To clarify, I would ask this question as a wrap up, a sort of final probe of depth test. If they don't go into much detail, no big deal. If they were good in the rest of the interview, they'd still get hired. If they were good elsewhere but also went into depth on this question, then it really boosts their likeliness of getting hired. I find that people who are curious about how things work, especially when it is outside of their main domain, are usually people interesting to work with.
It is not used to provoke a response, it is more about signaling political affiliation.

I think virtue signaling is synonymous with dog whistling, but different jargon is used by different partisan groups.

It depends what messages and from whom. From corporations? From politicians? From advertisers? In CVs? I think it would be prudent to consider motivation in some cases, but it is a subjective assessment still, as might be the message.

I hope car/bike choice will never be a political statement. That would be a loss for everyone. Not everything should be regarded as that as it would suggest severe bitterness.

I don't think the direction we are going towards will erode the differentiation between private and public markets. A skill based assessment (required to have series 7/65/82, other designations like CFA will eventually be included) will be a strong barrier to entry. While those exams may be more or less trivial to many hackernews readers, for the general public they represent a significant investment in time and education.

There will also be liquidity differences--even with a broader set of investors--between private and public markets. Thus if a company wants to have liquid equity (which benefits employees) they will need to be public. Additionally, many large institutions have caps on private market investments which are generally smaller than public equity caps. I don't see this changing given liquidity concerns, going public will still be the road to access more institutional capital.

Lastly, your Enron example exemplifies the point that fraud will occur, regardless of private or public markets (and regardless if it is audited by an established third party accounting firm. Arthur Anderson signed off on Enron for years, at it took years for a big 4 accounting firm to recognize the fraud committed by Wirecard). On the flipside, public markets have regulatory requirements which make it easier to research, but just because private markets don't require disclosures doesn't mean there is no information to go off of. Investors can still get enough info to make reasonable investment decisions without disclosures following public company requirements. This gives investors the ability to make their own decisions regarding which disclosure standards are sufficient instead of differing to the SEC. In fact, I believe that Private Markets would experience less fraud if the only requirements were education based and not net-worth based,

FB has done plenty wrong but you can make the point without upping the hyperbole as well.

There is a danger of FB manipulating things on its own but they didn't sell the data to any third party including Cambridge Analytica, it was harvested because of poor API policy(your friend auth giving access to some of your details) which was fixed in the future. The behavioral profiles were built by Cambridge Analytica on its own by the data it stole.

Why would FB in any instance even sell your data? I would argue it is in FB's interest to keep the data for itself, not letting anyone have it and be the gatekeeper.

The right thing to argue is, whether you want FB/Tiktok itself to have the treasure trove of data or not, and whether you want to allow them to use that to do precise targeting.

My issue with Brutalism is that it seems to evoke a sense of helplessness of the individual against the sheer size of the State. No wonder it was so popular in totalitarian regimes.

I often think of Brasilia, the capital of Brazil. A city literally built in the middle of nowhere and with virtually no sidewalks, making it incredibly costly for individuals to reach it and organize themselves to protest against the government. Its streets literally have no name⁰. Imagine living on SHS W2 or SEN L1!

Seems like the real story is that Amazon feels like it can tell you what software you can use to manage the storage you've bought.

1200 SQF is fine if you have some kind of storage to rely on, don't need two home offices for two people WFHing, have only one kid, and don't need space for a musical instrument of some kind. Otherwise...it isn't workable.

Maybe if we didn't have a kid? Or if I could convince my wife to give up some things? We were just in the housing market and had to pass on these smaller houses very quickly. Not only that, but bigger houses were only 10-20% greater in cost than smaller ones...it was a no brainer to go with 2000 SQF.

It could happen with any other bank as well.

It really depends on the context and the use cases. The F-15 cockpit is an extreme example of a very complex interface that needs to be highly performant under intense life-or-death conditions. Most UIs that people design, including this library, are not meant for anything remotely similar to those situations. A lot of times it's mostly for consuming content.

That video of the F-15 actually features a lot of overlay UI elements that are very similar to this project's sci-fi style. Did you lament that, or wonder if that functional uselessness was influencing the designers of the airplane? Or did it make for a better viewing experience than barebones labels with no animations?

I can't speak to the SpaceX cockpit and how well it performs the job it was intended to, do you know of any testimony from people who have used it? I have to believe that they would put function over form for something like that, but that doesn't mean that form has no place either, they are definitely aiming for the lofty goal of achieving both.

Which doesn't matter, because the person who is going to test your patch does, or the person who will write their own and submit it. Which makes the app better, for everybody.

> Anyway, the argument was that the Apple app store was stifling app development. In your reply you yourself say the apps on the Google store are “Maybe not quite as high” quality.

There is a difference between the quality of an app and the quality of a store. If Google Play contains all the same apps as Apple's app store, but they're higher quality because people hack on them more, it could still have a lower average quality if the store itself is less selective and there are also a bunch of lower quality apps. Which doesn't really matter because nobody is making you install those ones. Especially when you're not using the store for discovery to begin with, which they're increasingly useless at.
That's correct, if you pay yourself, that's an expense for the company and deducted from taxable income. And you'll pay personal income tax on it.
Facebook is literally saying that their Audience Network product will see 50% reduction in revenue. That means apps will see less revenue from using AN. This is likely a pattern across apps.
In times of massive apartment booms, rents have in fact held steady or decreased. Seattle is a recent example. There are only so many people who want to live in a particular city, so supply and demand do play a part here.

https://www.oregonlive.com/business/2019/01/apartment-rents-...

Based on your logic, we could build more apartments in a particular city than humans exist and rents would continue to go up, even if most of those apartments are empty. That clearly doesn't make sense.

Your last argument misses the point. As cities become more fashionable, not building more housing is a guarantee of increased costs due to supply and demand. In cities like SF, rents continue to rise faster than most cities. SF is also the hardest place to build anything. I wonder if those two are related.

Look at squoosh.app. They cross-compiled image compression libs to the browser, which means that they don't have to reimplement anything for the web, and now you can use it securely from any browser. AutoDesk was able to cross-compile their decades-old millions+ line C++ codebase to wasm, now they have a web product. Fastly and Cloudflare _only_ support wasm/javascript for their edge cloud compute solutions; but since they support wasm, you can write your functions in C++/Rust and run it with nearly the same performance characteristics. Lots of reasons to use webassembly, it's just getting started!
> Not really? We have electricity at the streets. We want additional plugs on the streets, and maybe a credit card reader on those plugs

Your parent was not saying that it'd be difficult to have a few charging stations on streets, but rather that it would be difficult to add a lot of densely packed chargers on the street.

Today, there just isn't that much use for electricity on the street: traffic lights and the occasional parking meter are pretty much it from what I can tell.

What you're proposing is adding 100's if not 1000's of amps of electricity to the sidewalk. For many, many streets.

The situation is even more dire in the north: while it's not too bad to charge in a garage, particularly if it's insulated, EVs on the street will have to expend a substantial amount of energy keeping their batteries warm during the winter months, meaning that the minimum charging rate for those areas will have to be solidly in the Level 2 range.

All of this work isn't impossible or even conceptually difficult. But it is a lot of work, and it's not as simple as just setting up charging stations and hooking them into the already existing infrastructure.

Same here and I'm confused as to why this comment has been downvoted. It's a perfectly good question for level setting.

You're completely correct.

I think the Petro-billionaires are a good example of this actually. Their petro income has dwindled over the last 12 months as prices have collapsed. Even the Saudis can't keep up with their expenses. So soon, petro-billionaires will just be billionaires. What happens then? Will they get poorer because they have no actual skill at investing? or will the market keep giving them high rates of return for nothing more than renting out their capital during a capital shortage?

This is nonesense. Being an "Engineer" doesn't automatically make you capable of engineering anything.

Engineering rockets is a very different discipline from engineering tunnels in earth and rock. I'd be surprised if anything other than very basic physics applied to both problems.

And... let's not kid ourselves. Musk is not engineering anything at any of his companies.

> Are you at all involved with software development?

I've been programming since I was about 13 years old. I am no longer a professional software developer though. I've released some works on my GitHub. My most recent contributions to free software: binary QR decoding for ZBar and a small program for configuring my laptop's backlit keyboard. I also reported a GPG bug and sent in a fix some time ago.

> How do you feel about people breaking the GPL?

It's pointless. People can use your software despite any terms and your only recourse is legal action. Seriously doubt individual developers will waste their time and money pursuing violators in court. Even the organizations dedicated to GPL violations won't take all cases. Violators in foreign countries might as well be untouchable, especially developing countries which have better things to do than police the use of imaginary property. The GPL is most useful to projects like the Linux kernel which have massive amounts of leverage over the companies that want to violate the license.

Like copyright, I don't think licenses in general should exist. The GPL was itself created in reaction to copyright protection being extended towards software. It depends on copyright in order to work.

The real value of the GPL is the hacker spirit it represents. I give you the source code and you send back any improvements you make. This core virtue is widely shared and respected by the developer community.

This would be like going through the full material of calculus (1,2,3) and saying “it’s trivial and therefore not impressive nor worth learning” after every single proof, derivation, lecture, and homework problem. You can do it, but you’ve not actually demonstrated any knowledge of the material. Nor would such refutation actually prove that calculus doesn’t contribute greatly to the modern world.
Of interest to me is that a lot of the graphics and sounds are based on '70's and '80's tech with the constraints of the circuits and display technology that were "state of the art" then, but then "futurized".

I had an OMG experience trying to look up a very interesting non-public software company on SharePost a week ago. They will offer me a chance to buy something. I don't get any clarity on the cap table, so I'd be completely in the dark on preferences, dilution, etc. I'm being asked to offer a price range before seeing any trading history. And there's no availability (at first) of any financial history.

There's potential here to make a uniquely bad investment in what might be a uniquely great company. We won't cry a lot of tears for rich people who make some bad investments in the dark. For people living closer to the edge, having them get fleeced has spillover effects that are ugly enough to argue against letting it all play out with total laissez-faire.
