UK is trying hard not to be a part of Europe it seems :)

Anyway I've seen similar laws in several countries in EU, but I talked to a lawyer friend and he said he looked into it (briefly) and couldn't find examples of it being enforced through court in my country (Croatia).

As for termination - probation periods exist for sure but passed that it's really hard to get rid of people, the two year thing exists if you give someone extended temporary contract but that really sucks for people because it messes with their credit score etc.

I remember working in a company where a woman got hired to work in office A she was then moved to office B because of a reorg (15km away from office A) she refused to accept this - got fired - sued - got pay for the time she was without work, times two in damages and got reinstated to previous position.

It's nice to have a filter. It feels like you're not being so vulnerable when posting your face. Maybe I want to send my Instagram followers a smile without sending a perfect likeness of myself, you know? They don't need to know how much sleep I've been getting or the last time I scrubbed out my pores.
Interesting question, but really the answer is ultimately that EV and AV are hideously capital intensive, so Honda needs the money for that.

Also, if EV is the future (as Honda is indicating that they believe), then F1 is not the appropriate place to signal their engineering competence.

Disclaimer: I work for GM but not on EV, AV or Motorsport. This is solely my own opinion.
This is an extremely good write-up.

Thanks for posting it!
Thanks. A google search for "white shoe fixer" was only returning glue and polish for shoes.

Given the derogatory Ivy League sense of the term, it's a funny one for the author to use. Keefe attended Columbia, Cambridge, London School of Economics, and got a JD from Yale. Those white shoes you can see from space!

His 'Wind of Change' podcast was good stuff.
You mean, no phosphorus means no phospholipids so no cell membranes like the ones we have now? That would seem like a shortcoming.
You don’t need infra. If the whole world ends tomorrow I can still have a radio based transmission network and a private WLAN composed of HAM radio. Or at least that’s what it is in theory for people.

Its not my thing but I think it’s pretty cool to imagine a large plot of land with several cabins that house relay servers for content. Then you can camp on different locations on your property and listen to music anywhere with the right antenna. Maybe video if you use the right band? There’s a lot of unutilized potential here and in the U.S. you can do a lot with a HAM license.
Modern F1 has an extreme amount of simulation behind it that just didn’t exist last century. Whether you can make a car that is good or not is a factor of budget you can spend on engineering teams, wind tunnel time, etc., instead of what whacky idea you can come up with that makes the car better.

Budget caps introduced this year will hopefully start to level the playing field once the 2022 regs kick in.
As a small partner in a very small company that has been "poached" by huge players, I came to this post fuming.

Some unsolicited feedback on your communication style below. Read no further if you're not interested in it.

In no way is that a natural inference in colloquial speech. Those are your own (incorrect) inferences that you're justifying post-facto, and you are (not so) subtly implying that your interpretation is the correct one and in the majority, even though it:

a) Might not be

b) Involves you making an interpretation and inferential leap that isn't contained in the text of the original poster.

In a similar fashion, you may want to continue making inferences that go beyond what people actual say or write, but it will get you into situations, like this, where you feel compelled to put things into the speaker's mouth that were not written, things that were not said, that will put you in opposition to the original speaker/author unjustifiably and based on your own interpretative error, and which generally make people less inclined to share their opinions in the future.

Additionally, your writing style appears to be one of passive-aggressive condescending superiority. This does not influence the person on the other side round towards adopting your view-point, but actually makes them bristle up and more likely to reject participation in the conversation.

Up to you how you act, but if you weren't already informed, you are now.

Like the other comment mentioned, this is a very France-centric description - in the Netherlands, for example, you can't block workers from leaving their company in this way.
Not that I support their policy but let’s be honest, before Trump, Twitter was languishing and totally stagnating when compared to Facebook. They owe their resurgence to Trump and other extremists on both sides.

Generally everything here can be true at once.

(1) Tesla can be living off government subsidies.

(2) Taxpayers can be on the hook for billions in clean-up costs.

(3) A P/E of 1100 represents a combination of the market's enthusiasm for TSLA shares, their subsidies driving earnings on the one side, and their desire to re-invest proceeds on the other. They are making good money [in part thanks to subsidies], but they're pouring it back into R&D rather than returning it to the shareholders. This is the mark of a growth company.

I find it weird that people who live abroad complain about life when they chose not to learn the local language. If you’re planning to stay for some time, learn the damn language.
Not outraged. More bemused.

And I will continue to communicate the way I do. I'm a real stubborn S.O.B., and don't respond well to being pushed.

BTW: I never called them "friends." I guess half of communication is reading it properly.

I did some "gifted student" programs in middle school and high school, although not the specific one discussed in the article. This was my experience:

> And how are kids even suppose to know about these schools at a young age? I would assume it's the parents that needs to be knowledgeable and push their children to those admission exams.

Middle schools want to feed as many of their students to these programs as possible. When Johns Hopkins held an SAT for eighth graders, the teachers distributed flyers home and I heard about it on the morning announcements every day for two weeks. (If Virginia's middle schools aren't making students aware of their high school opportunities, that is very easy to fix.)

> It's the same as saying scoring in the top 1% percentile is within your control.

A topic of active debate within educational circles is whether we should tell students that intelligence is innate or that hard work/"grit" is the most important thing. There's some evidence that the "grit" story leads to better outcomes, so that's what educational establishments prefer to tell students.

It's likely, then, that "you can score in the top percentile with enough hard work and determination" is the official position of the school district. And who knows, it might even be true!
Interesting side-project! Was considering doing something similar myself. The eyes in the logo following the cursor is a nice touch. How did you market it/get it off the ground?
Seriously... prove the opposite to be true then, that the majority of Europeans - in this case Dutch and Swedes for easier comparison - support either the current level or an increased level of migration.

For what it is worth, De Telegraaf has been moving more to the middle and in some cases going towards the left of the middle since the paper was taken over by the Belgian Mediagroep. Even before that time it might have been more right-wing in the context of Dutch publishers but that context is important, had the paper been published in e.g. the USA it would have been deemed 'liberal'.

You're still fond of labeling I see, try to write a message without those labels for a change. It certainly will help getting your message across to those who lump in all 'labelled' communications in the same bin, that of the internet-equivalent of a tabloid. It also helps you formulate your message more precisely since you'll have to elaborate on what exactly makes a publication like De Telegraaf different from e.g. De Volkskrant, NRC, AD, Het Parool or Trouw - just to name a few of the larger Dutch news publications.

Is it that hard to find out who the engineers are?

Or is it somehow illegal to target other business's engineers for employment?
Perhaps, but for Tesla to go to being what Amazon is now would take so much luck/decision-making I just can't see it happening. They make nice cars, but they would have to dominate the market in a way they can't even dream of today.

For example, Tesla sold 300k cars last year - ford alone sold something like 6 million. Tesla have to compete with the entire world's car industry including companies that have much more experience selling cars at that scale. Is it impossible, no, is it unlikely yes - Tesla will grow from now but I just can't see that P/E turning into cold hard cash.

Also, Amazon's P/E peaked at 3.6k but only for 2012. It's been around a tenth of Tesla's current P/E for almost all of their time on the exchange.

In this scenario, how do you track which parts of each file are GPL and which parts are MIT?
I had the same issue the first time around. My solution was to spend some time building a massive wall (using cliffs to help provide a natural barrier) around the perimeter with a belt full of ammo that refilled all of the turrets. The defenses rarely engaged the enemy but when they did it helped that they destroyed a segment of the wall instead of my base. Made it far more enjoyable to fight the buggies.
Traction control was banned quite a while ago from what i remember. That really did take away the skill from driving and make it technical arms race. There is still skill required now.

I do agree rules have killed some of the fun, it seems to be the reliance on aerodynamics as a means to gain an advantage after the limits on engine power and lifetime (top teams having a "qualifying engine" that was destroyed after one qually session, and race engines designed to last one race was crazy though).

Aero being so important means following other cars for an overtake puts the car behind at a real disadvantage, hence the "DRS" hack.

The trouble with F1 is that the "anything goes" environment they had until the 80s/90s will always be more exciting than the rules they have now to stop drivers killing themselves. They did seem to choose rules that disproportionately worked against creating fun races though.
Honda is like a decade behind Tesla and 5 years behind GM and VW on BEV so they definitely need to invest (as does Toyota)

I doubt there is actually a link to dropping F1, however.
> If you look at hundred year old buildings, by modern standards they're extremely flawed. The insulation is typically poor or non-existent

You're assuming a certain type of climate. Hundred year old buildings with huge levels of thermal mass in year-round warm climates are exactly what you want, not insulation. The high ceilings are also extremely practical in such environments.

>There is little reason to suspect that progress in building design has been discontinued

Building design: no question that we've got new stuff that in the right conditions is better than what we had 100 years ago. We have some new stuff (e.g. insulated glazing) that is just better always. But there are many aspects of actual building construction that could be argued to have gone backwards in the last 100 years, mostly because of the rise of developer-led construction and the economics that this implies.

> the replacement building doesn't have to be on the same lot.

Fair point.

> An expense today is much more costly than the same dollar value expense in 50 years, because if you don't spend the money today, you get 50 years worth of interest on it

That assumes that you don't gain anything of value from the expense today. If what you are saying was so simplistically true, there would no point in investing in anything at all. If I put money into blue chip stocks with the expectation of earning profits, I do so with the idea in mind that these profits will exceed any interest I might have earned by saving it. If we collectively put money into a beautiful city hall or park lodge, we do with the idea in mind that what we will gain over the life of the building is worth more to us that the interest we might have earned by saving the cost instead.

> In which case you're essentially asking for the state to fund architecture as art with tax money

If you can't differentiate or acknowledge the concept or utility of public investment in public places, then I'm certainly not going to persuade you that this is not what I'm asking for.
The problem is that when you create an international coalition powerful enough to control capital and to go against its logic, you've built a communism. Under that system, the common ideological space (what yuval noah harai calls "the greatest story ever told") comes under an active, deliberate intervention by a political will, and there's just no way the people in power are ever going to share in the kind of control they enjoy now.
Ask HN: Steady 4-5% on $5M?
Roughly ~10 years back there was a thread on this topic (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1108163) which elicited interesting ideas.

I'm wondering what the 2020 answer would be to what would you do to generate a steady 4-5% annual return from $5 million?
It’s funny because I relate this to the “too many meetings” of some parts of the private sector. The pressure comes from the challenge of finding time to do actual work.
I actually think this is a great idea. There are a few immediate questions I have though.

1) how does one define a key with a ": "

2) as others said, significant whitespace, specifically trailing, seems to lead problems with keys that have nested key/val, array, multiline string.

3) the github repo associated with the parser has an isue that questions how to verify if the file was truncated.

I think Deco: https://github.com/Enhex/Deco better solves the problem the OP has. It is provably delimiter collision free, unlike this (see my point 1 Unless I'm mistaken).
This is pretty awesome work! Just a quick read so far but their approach shows great results.

As recently announced at HPEC 2020 GraphBLAS BOF, NVIDIA is contributing CUDA support to the SuiteSparse GraphBLAS library for sparse matrices. It would be interesting to see how the TCU work from this paper could influence that contribution!

Sparse matrix multiplication of an adjacency matrix is the same operation as one step in a breadth first search across a graph. This is why sparse multiplication is so important to optimize.

Dense matrices with N^2 space requirements simply can't hold or work with very large graphs, where as sparse (order N) and hypersparse (<< order N) techniques in GraphBLAS mean much higher density graph networks can be stored.

A great video on the mathematical foundations on the graphblas can be seen here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZSNp6XbOK8

Any to plug my own work, here's an introductory video on using the GraphBLAS with python:

Show HN: I built a simple web app for streaming videos
So the idea is that you select a file, create a room and then share the URL with anyone you want to join and then the video is streamed to everyone connected. All communication between occupants is peer to peer, the room creator has the video controls and any action is relayed to all peers. I built this thing in my spare time because it seemed like a fun idea to be able to stream a video file between a group of friends and it is very much a first pass, things will be broken, features missing, etc. I do plan on expanding it further when I have more spare time but please do comment with any feedback, roast it if you like.
As long as it remains a flange of baboons, does anything else really matter?
What’s funny is that every time I ask authors questions about their papers, they can never answer. There always seem to be a single person that really did the work.
Except CNCF ecosystem looks more like open stack these days. A collection of software that half works together and eats up the majority of your time doing undifferentiated ops.

Devs should be focusing on the business and growing business metrics. Not spending their time learning a new cool tool that plugs into a different tool which is all replaced in 3 months with a newer tool.
Nonlinear differential equations are more common in the real world than linear ones. Our textbooks tend to have a lot more linear ones simply because they are easier to handle and teach, not because of their prevalence.

Even when you get to the nitty gritty of real world circuits, you'll encounter nonlinearities and have to deal with them. The linear approach is fine for undergrad curricula, but having worked with some of the frontiers of circuit/semiconductor work professionally - you can't build great products by relying on linear diff eqs alone.

Furthermore, linear diff eq's are somewhat of a solved problem. A researcher is unlikely to discover a phenomenon today that is governed by a linear equation.

> Even for something as infamous as the Navier-Stokes equation, you can extract important parameters like the Reynolds number, Froude number, and so on -- which I hope I don't need to explain why they're extremely useful, even for a numerical design approach -- so even if you can't solve the equation, you can still get a lot of mileage out of the analysis itself.

Here I think we are merging a little: I took only one fluid mechanics/dynamics course (albeit 20 years ago), and we were taught the Reynolds number, etc. The thing is, I would say there were only two engineering courses I took in my whole undergrad where the analytical approach is not particularly helpful, and one really has to go full out "engineer" - either by looking up lots of (empirical) graphs and tables, or use numerical methods. Fluid mechanics was one of those courses.

Yes, I agree that doing some level of analytical work on the diff equations is very useful, but in the majority of cases, the main purpose of doing some theoretical analysis on the differential equation is to get it into a form where one can apply numerical techniques to it.

I'm not a fluid mechanics person, but I'd wager that most of the useful results we have from the Navier Stokes equation came out of some numerical technique (perhaps after a bit of analytical work).

In any case: Yes, I agree - it is useful to do some analytical work on it. But the bulk of the gains in the real world come from applying numerical technique on them. And more to the point: Most of what is taught in a typical diff eq course is of little use in doing that analytical work.

Edit: As another anecdote, for my grad research, I went the analytical route, as that was what my advisor preferred. Thing is, it was fine in his day when the field was young. Most of the people doing research use numerical methods (often from first principles, so almost no analytical approach applied). They basically "won". When you look at the useful results in the discipline in the last 10-15 years, the numerical ones outnumber the analytical ones easily by a factor of 10.

I, personally, am moving to Wi-Fi speakers because the audio quality and connection consistency have been considerably better than Bluetooth, both with my Sonos Beam and JBL Link Portable.

If you want the fluidity of Sonos without the voice assistant, check out the Sonos One SL - it's the Sonos One without the microphone and voice assistant, and is $20 cheaper because of it. There's also the IKEA Symfonisk, which is basically a bookshelf speaker variant of the One SL, from what I've read.
I don't get this one. There is enough money at stake here for the lawmakers to go after the companies and they have a huge economic/political incentive not to dump tax increases on their constituents.

So basically, how is this not a huge federal suit?

If there is one thing I do expect its for this stuff to work itself out when the politicians have a clear interest in doing so? On the other hand maybe I'm missing something ?
iirc it wouldn’t have been inoperative - it just couldn’t work with the newer software and therefore couldn’t be meshed with newer devices. I was under the impression that the hardware would work with the now legacy software without issue.

Similarly, I've been saying for years that Pluto is still a "planet" if enough people want it to be. The cultural concept and etymological ancestry predates telescopes by thousands of years.

Edit: To explain my position better, modern Science has been using an old word - which belongs to everyone - for its own purposes, which is of course fine! However, members of the general public get to do that, too. Outside Science classrooms, I've seen a lot of annoying linguistic prescriptivism explaining that a committee of scientists got into a room and made a judgement call that the person being addressed is now wrong and must change their behavior because the committee said so, which is a great, if small, example of why there is an ongoing wave of anti-intellectualism.
I wasn't saying they are both true just that the subsidies can go to both.

Q: "Why is academia so cut-throat?"

A: "Because the stakes are so low."

My dad was a professor and researcher (in ecology) in the 60s and 70s. He had a cartoon on his office wall, later relocated to his office at home, which depicted two priests having a conversation beneath the image of a very famous prophet being tortured (honestly, it doesn't matter which prophet).

One priest is saying to the other, "He was a great teacher, but he didn't publish."

My dad had a stress-related heart attack at 50, which he survived, and he semi-retired to a part-time professorship at a different university so that he could continue to work with grad students, which he loved doing.
