I get what you are trying to say. But this is generally the story of every first generation learner, even if they aren't lower caste. I have seen these kind of situations all around me in the past, my dad only used to own a bicycle, worked hard, passed the exam (general category) and now have a decent house. Everybody who is economically is suffering but this doesn't mean that reservations are the only way/help to succeed
Something's gotta give. If your business can't survive paying livable wages or the rent is too high, move or do something else.

Also, the amount of residential and commercial back-rent, and pending evictions stacking-up is another socioeconomic disaster waiting for the other shoe to drop. And when tens of millions lose their housing, it could be Brazilian favelas-bad.

Not all government is "bad." It's impossible to live in a society without enforcement of rules because anarchy is a wishful utopia that doesn't scale (Tragedy of the Commons). Nuance in what policies and government processes are part useful and/or part hinderances is needed.
This is a fine example of what I mean. To me, from the left, there's very little room to question the existence of systematic racism. [0]

From my perspective it flows pretty cleanly from several pretty solid facts. Black people were literally property for several hundred years. Once that ended there were explicitly racist laws and actions to keep black people out of any kind of economic or political power. [1] Maybe most importantly redlining kept black people out of home loans during one of the greatest periods of wealth growth in the US during the postwar boom. Combine this with the fact that poor neighborhoods are more polluted, [2] have worse schools, poor parents have less time to devote to tutoring their kids, etc and we get a self reinforcing system.

This system shits on all poor people but history has put a thumb on the scale of who wound up starting where. Given a much longer time span this may sort itself out naturally but with the way wealth compounds in capitalism there are also countervailing forces.

[0] The definition gets muddied a lot so I'll define myself here. Systematic racism is the concept that the interlocking /system/ of the government and economy have a racially biased outcome, ie it's racist, hence systematic racism. Importantly it's not that this system is necessarily currently intentional, though personally for me, not addressing the problem does feel like you get some blame for it's continued existence.

[1] Jim Crow laws, the Tulsa Race Massacre, the Wilmington insurrection of 1898 (look this one up in particular), the list is long and quite consistent.

[2] Which studies show has deleterious effects on educational performance. Pulling one random study out: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6140474/
I think you're overgeneralizing. There are several cultures "in the west" that do very much want to follow rules. Both Germany and Japan come immediately to mind.

Neither is a strict rule following culture, but both place a fairly high value on rules that regulate the commons.
Because working at a startup is a pretty big risk and people who enjoy taking risks tend to also enjoy working with unproven technology.

This seems mostly like a positive spin on "don't actually trust", though. I think if you're not willing to base your actions on the assumption of truth/good faith, you're not really trusting in any meaningful sense.
Not in the case of police unions

I don’t think that is significant but it is strange the article describes the person with pronoun they instead of the pronoun identifying their preferred sex. It seems some increased context would be beneficial as perhaps there is a historical reason.
So now the police raid your house in the middle of the night because you accidentally seeded some bad content. /s

I joke, of course what would actually happen is your ISP would turn off your connection.
This and groby_b's interpretation makes sense to me. Basically, assume good faith (within reason), but only temporarily. Not sure it is applicable in all cases the proverb is used, but that's a separate issue.

Okay, yeah, for sure. I think they're better options for early iteration. I guess actions speak louder than words here since my preferred operational stack is Rails + Typescript + React + Redux + Heroku w/ Heroku Postgres.

Yeah, definitely Heroku over k8s for idea validation.

I think there's definitely room in the k8s-based space for slightly past that, though.
There is "copyright take down requests" which are DMCA takedowns and gives the uploader strikes against their account and there is Googles own copyright system (Content ID) which Google would rather have right holders use (as they don't have to issue strikes to the users) that allow the claimant leave the video up but get the analyics from the video, claim the ad revunue from the video, mute the video (in cases where its an audio claim) or remove the video.

When you get a claim on the latter system (Content ID) you don't get a strike on your account but if you appeal the claim its (normally) upto the claimant to decide if your appeal is valid or not (sometimes YT does step in an say "yeah its fair use, have your ad rev back" but that is not the norm).

These takedowns are actual DMCA takedown requests. (even TeamYouTube are telling him to issue (valid) counter notifications to these claims - https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1306733040211824645)
It would be cool if the authors offered a list of pre-reqs. Sometime I look at a math book and don't understand the first few chapters but I am willing to build up to it provided I know what to read first.

If you look at the Chinese market, basically the likes of Tesla and VW are an extremely lucrative but relatively small part of a market that is simply huge with an average sales price well below the cheapest cars in the EU or US. The US and much of the EU is simply not covering the low end of the market at all that exists in China and other developing markets.

There are Chinese and Indian car manufacturers in the process of ramping up production of EVs that cost in the order of as little as 5000$. These replace similarly priced petrol cars that were never even on the market in the EU and the US. They're not going to be breaking any records in terms of range, premium features, etc. But they'll be affordable for the masses in developing economies. Basically it's cheap manufacturing and mass production of outdated but proven technology.

Selling a 5000$ car in the EU or US is not a thing. It's not a technical problem but a problem of that market not making sense when you can also sell a 25K, 50K or 75K model to the same person and when you are essentially supply limited. Creating that market would erode the high end of the market. And this is where manufacturers earn their profits. This problem does not exist in developing markets where that high end is comparatively small because of the income distribution being different.

Simply put there's a huge amount of people for whom 5K is about the maximum they are going to be able to spend on a car. Most of those people are not in the EU or the US. Hence the volume production of cheap EVs for that segment is happening in markets where these people do exist in large numbers.

Even the differences between the EU and the US are kind of striking here. The US does not like small cars. The EU does not like big cars. There are a lot of cars on the market in the EU that are not even for sale in the US. And vice versa. There are dominant car brands in the EU that have 0 sales in the US.

So, Tesla saying that they will go as low as 25K is basically a function of their growth plans in the US. They've nailed the high end of the market and are profitable there. They are now about to enter the middle segment of the market. They are literally ramping up production and new factories as fast as they can. Every kwh of battery they produce they can sell. So, dropping the price point of products only happens when the market for higher priced cars gets to the saturation point. There's no need for them to go any lower than that before that.
In the context of Kubernetes I can see how startup time matters. For instance auto-scaling up the number of replicas in response to load. The other one I can think of is serverless frameworks such as Knative where you might be using a scale-from-zero model where you are spinning up a service on demand.
Uh, the author's in the Non-binary Writers category, which would explain the use of the pronoun "they," if that's what you're referring to...
This isn’t the first time I’ve heard of this book, but I am absolutely shocked that nobody has posted it online in any of the usual places given its Wikipedia entry. I had hoped that External Links would point me to a copy.

Apparently, according to WorldCat, I’d have to travel overseas to other libraries to read it. And it was published in 1909, so presumably its copyright has long since expired. If travel ever resumes, I think I’ll make vacation plans to visit one of these libraries and scan the book myself...

Regarding sources for Wikipedia on Dr Thomas Baty, one of the longest freely published accounts I found online is at http://www.ilajapan.org/doc/baty_e.pdf - relevant as Baty spent much of his life in Japan.
Most useful in space depends a lot on what you're doing at the time. Docking with small separation? Velocity relative to target. Orbiting something? speed relative to that body. Traveling between stars? Tougher but most likely relative velocity towards your target since your path is going to be relatively linear?
Sorry to burst your bubble but that's exploitation. How much would you have to pay for a Singaporean to do the same job? I'm not say you are exploiting the FDWs in particular, but the whole system is. Imagine Singapore was not a first world country, and you had the chance to work as a developer in the US for 1/5 the salary. Still a good deal for you, but the company is definitely exploiting you.
Why everyone in the US is betting that the stock market will always go on average up ? This has been proven wrong by so many European indices. And yet the whole US pension system is based on this casino. I really don’t get it. Elderly People are getting robbed of their life savings during recessions and nobody is held responsible.
Based on the "Personal Life" section of the page it would seem they were non-binary, making "they/them/their" appropriate pronouns. Additional it states they were sometimes regarded as a trans woman, so to answer the grandparent comment's question, they were likely assigned male at birth.
There are still near infinite amount of good ideas outside of the mainstream that are new and exciting to most people, that are still well explored, have long histories and are mature.

>Medicare for All being a success in one state would change little

at least it would prove to work here- it's not like the US is in the exact same position as the EU

eg, I'm not sure how they're connected, but it's obvious that the majority of medical research is being done over here, and I never see that mentioned in the comparisons between our systems and overseas; if the overpayment we're doing over here is necessary waste for that goal, that should to be made explicit!
health insurance is probably taking more than their honest share of the pie, but complaints that our health care is 'too expensive' never seem to take into account that our (expensive) health care is the best in the world

am I wrong?
In medicine, experience is everything. Theoretical knowledge is good to have, but it won't save you in a crisis. It's like asking of Joe Schmoe to make furniture better than a carpenter without having access to either the tools or the timber to train.

Anesthesiologists are the ones who practice the skills most closely related to crisis situations in their everyday job. They will on average do massively better than anyone else, just because they're used to it.

Modern medicine, especially interventional, is still more a practical skill than it is science. You can't "know it better theoretically". If I had surgery and something happened, I'd trade an anesthesiologist or CRNA vs. Pretty much any other specialist anyday (except some ER/ICU guys, but not all of them by far).
No, you can have a business model with no customer support without a monopoly. The potential lost sales are just part of the equation.
Or pivot to "we're a blockchain-based database". And when that fails, "we're a blockchain stored in a database". After that, you'll have to get creative with the neologisms: "we're the first ever datachain backed by a Baseblock".
Isn't that the definition of capitalism?
Ask HN: Is it ethical to bypass rate limiting?
Assuming the service is not being abused (20 requests / second vs a requested 10 / second). Is it ethical to bypass rate limiting? Where do you draw the line?
Had a $4 mouse from the dollar store. Watched some youtube videos, and decided to splurge and bought the latest and greatest bleeding-edge Mx master 3, at $129 and 3225% more expensive. Despite all the great reviews and hype. I'm kind of hating it. Damn thing is so heavy.

It feels like I'm moving a brick around. Was going to return it, but now I'm saving it for a protest.
It's not great. We have a base 10 number system so everything should be in powers of 10. Not too familiar with my 528 multiplication tables.
I played this game though probably 100 times and never realized that repeatedly firing weapons is what improves a soldier's accuracy. So thanks for that. I mean, it makes perfect sense when you think about it, as long as you assume there is no other training that these soldiers go through behind the scenes. Which... Yeah.
Performance right from the start regarding nodejs, Python and Go, not being stuck with Java 1.0 regarding Go.
> If women chose something different, perhaps humanity wouldn't be so rapacious of the earth.

You know, I care a little about the framing. It can be that women could choose something different, or maybe men can also choose to not be part of the rat race, maybe it can be both, or maybe as you mentioned, it’s an impossible scenario. I don’t know with what I’ve read about what we know (and mostly don’t know about human mind) and with humanity’s history I choose to be careful with what it’s human nature and what could change.

But anyway the statement is as it is, and assigns responsibility mostly to women, which can be an assumption that women have more agency than men, or just blaming the opposite sex; as common in incel ideology. Not really reasonable either way IMO.
I wish I could answer your question. I really do.

The way I would put it is this:

First we need to start by not lying. I think that almost 100% of the crap out on this subject are lies. We have religious camps that deny it all and religious camps who think we can fix it with magical pixie dust.

We need to free-up our scientists --who are genuinely scared to speak-up-- so they can start to think about reality rather than this fantasy they need to push in order to receive grants and have a job.

Next, with real conversations happening, we need to also understand that there are very compelling reasons to clean-up our act. And these reasons have nothing whatsoever to do with saving the planet, because we can't.

A simple example of this is the ridiculous fleet of container ships (some 15,000 of them on the oceans) burning the most horrific fuel available: Bunker fuel. This stuff is horrible across all axis. And nobody talks about it.

While the governor of California scores virtue-signaling points by banning IC cars by 2035 (doubt it will happen) he does and says NOTHING about bunker fuel pollution that produces, by some accounts, more contaminants in a single day than the entire transportation system of the US (cars, trucks and plans) in one year.

This is why I think the dialogue based on lies is just crazy. We are ignoring issues at scale to focus on things that are politically valuable (and likely financially too) that will deliver questionable results, if that.

So, no, I don't have an answer. I am just yelling out loud "This is wrong". Just like I was years ago about Facebook's algorithms and today there's a documentary on Netflix highlighting precisely what I predicted 8 to ten years ago. I mean, people in my own family were saying I as crazy. Now they are calling me to tell me to watch this documentary on Netflix that is saying the things I was saying years ago. Interesting how the world works.
Coding and math books frequently list prerequisites by saying something like "only really trivial mathematics knowledge that any adult should be familiar with" and then you start working through the book and realize they meant any adult that took multiple years of calculus in high school and graduated with a BS in Comp Sci or mathematics.

As a high school drop out that only later on developed an interest in learning its pretty frustrating. My BS is in Information Systems so I've missed out on a lot of math that seems to make learning computer science and programming easier. I'll have to give this resource a try. I'm a big fan of his reverse engineering material already.
I’ve had a stutter my whole life but, somehow, I don’t think it changed my quality of live. I guess that would be different if it were more severe.
> "As an optimist, pacifist, and technologist from Seattle, I realized I couldn’t wait for someone else to solve the big tech problems looming over our military today."

I have no words. You are going to need a lot of "optimism".
Indeed. A350-1000 are even smoother at the moment.
I believe popular proposals involve the use of algae.
Regardless, farming in general is something modern civilization already has a strong competency in. Synthesizing jet fuel from scratch might make sense for the USN since they have nuclear reactors and all the water they want, but I think it's fair to say our civilization in the general case struggles with generating huge amounts of clean electricity. Plants do it with solar energy on a scale we should be jealous of. And so what of they take a few months to do it? They take that long to grow the food you eat too and it's not like you starve for months waiting for them.
They do have support infrastructure for their customers. Youtube content creators are not customers, they’re more akin to contractors (when paid) and volunteers (when not). In fact, google is the customer in this relationship, and they are within their rights to stop buying the product without having to explain why.

It is on content creators to diversify their business. If a contractor has only a single customer because that customer is the most profitable, would you pity them when they are fired by that customer? Or would you call them bad at business for failing to diversify?
If they weren't a monopoly then they wouldn't be able to get away with fraudulent activity like deleting someone's Google account or accepting false DMCA claims with no recourse or not paying out Ad Sense revenue because they flagged your account (without explaining why).

> There's a rule in physics that "the impossible doesn't happen very often". What's more likely, a stunning unexpected discovery, or a subtle experimental error?

You're implying that a a subtle error would be sufficient to explain the observations, which doesn't seem to be the case here.

Gross experimental or interpretation errors are a possibility, of course, but are correspondingly less likely.
Yes, this is a classic in things such as anal abscess drainage
They have a better death rate than half of Europe. They're not even in the top 10 and better yet they aren't getting a second wave. They were down to 13 hospitalizations last week. Never shut down. Never mandated masks. It really is true that for people under 50 the odds of dying of Covid are less than 1 in 10,000.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/sweden/

There are only 12 states doing better on a death rate perspective than South Dakota. And they've been 5 times more effective at preventing deaths than New York.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109011/coronavirus-covi...

I would say if they get a spike almost 6 months after literally never shutting down anything, they've done extremely well either way.

No state should care about infection rates among healthy populations. That's normal and expected and necessary to reach herd immunity. Hospitalizations would be alarming but hospitalizations have plummeted nationwide even as case counts have risen.

We are already well within range of an ordinary flu season as far as excess deaths goes: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm
I think so too. If they were not a monopoly they'd have content creators fleeing the platform for how they handle these type of situations but for many youtube provides a decent source of income. Content creators respected their part of the bargain and worked hard to build their channels and Google benefitted quite well. But they're not only not equal, one zero power and the other one has all of it.

I'd think that one of the advantages of working at a startup compared to a more 'corporate' company is the increased autonomy. If you don't get more creativity over the solution, working in bigcorp surely has more advantages.

I also think the "sense of ownership" part that comes with making decisions like that is important. With a startup, it's beneficial if contributors feel they're able to fix problems they see proactively.

But, yes, I don't want to work with hype-driven or resume-driven coworkers. Yes, I want the choices to be pragmatic and well-considered.
