I would agree, it's awful I hate it. I used to produce high quality work all day and have fun. I thought it was the next logical step because my boss knew I was intelligent and I did big projects all on my own. Managing people especially older people has been awful, I'm not trying to be rude it is just what I've experienced. There are so many more things you have to care about and when I became a software developer I did it because I did not want to put on a smile for customers at a cash register all day. It's awful don't do it and don't get tricked by your boss when he calls it "tech leader."
Imagine a hot summer day. You are lying under the shade of a peach tree, because it is too hot to be out in the sun. A perfectly ripe, almost too ripe, peach drops off the tree. You pick it up and take a bite. The flesh tastes better than any candy. The juice drips down your chin.

Is that merely pleasure, or is it joy?

Conventional wisdom often claims that virus evolve to become less fatal - but I don't think that matches the historical record.

There's evidence for influenza virus existing thousands of years before 1918. As such, it seems to have evolved into a much more deadly strain at that point.

Reproducing more efficiently is a win for natural selection and will normally result in a dominant strain: whether that strain is more deadly or not is going to be random.

We might optimistically anticipate some regression to the mean fatality rate (where the mean is close to 0).
Oh, I agree, optimizing MySQL for WordPress is a constant battle, with plugins and themes not handling the uninstallation process at all, and leaving huge amounts of data inside the wp_options table with autoload = on, for example, or the expensive queries that WordPress itself make — Elasticsearch and object caching are big help on this one in particular.

But if you call yourself a managed WordPress hosting company and your marketing material says your entire stack is optimized for WordPress, you should be held to higher standards than a shared hosting company like HostGator, for example.
it's weird how dreams and "real" memories can blend that way. last week I was half-awake half-asleep during a rain storm and I felt water dripping on my forehead from the ceiling. it felt quite real, but out of laziness I decided to just deal with it in the morning and go back to sleep. when I woke up, my bed was dry and there was no evidence of a leak anywhere. I'm still not quite sure whether it was real or imagined. I'm assuming it was just a dream, but usually I don't have such vivid physical sensations in dreams.

Long story short, someone on my previous team felt bullied by me and so now I'm on a team of one.

Even as a vim/neovim user for the best part of twenty years I think nano being the default is a good idea. Attracting new users to the shiny world of desktop linux, only to put them off by getting 'trapped' in vim is a pointless exercise.

Biotech, especially gene editing, comes to mind as a fast developing field. However, because it's health related, extensive testing and regulations means it will never evolve at the same pace as hardware and software did.
Since when does Amazon care if they sell counterfeit goods (if they even were)?
Stardust cost 200 million and collected a few grams at most. Hayabusa cost 100 million and collected less than 1 gram. I think those two beat Osiris in price/weight.
Perhaps why I've not seen it before is likely due to localization - I'm in the UK and of course the Pound has it's own symbol, thus the connection of $ -> Cash -> Cache may not be so readily made.
The western visa policy is at its core: racist. A person from a developing country, no matter how well-educated, wealthy, or upstanding, receives less travel rights than a person that is uneducated, unemployed, or committed major crime in a western country. In America, we would a allow drug dealer with UK passport visa free entry, whereas, a doctor from a developing country would be deterred from entry with the administrative burden of long waits, proofs, forms, background checks, and non-refundable fees.

>The goal of his project, which is partially funded by Microsoft, is to create an artificial system that works like human consciousness.

So we have bioethicists working on whether or not these brain cells in a petri dish count as conscious. And apparently a lively and varied debate on the subject.

Is there anything comparable for computer based consciousness? Why do we believe that bio-matter has more rights than synthetic, in terms of consciousness? Is it simply the bio that matters?
It’s less of a problem but it’s still a problem because it forces people to have to keep more context in addition to what they’re really working on. Even experienced developers with the latest IDEs are slowed down when the culture encourages layers of gratuitous complexity, and the gains offered by advanced tooling are often cancelled out by people seeing that tooling as reducing the counter pressure against adding more.
Totally, although considering Google already has many years of experience in this field I'd be surprised if Apple could compete with them.
There's a big difference between dying because the negentropy finally ran out, after billions of years in the height of life's power in thr universe, and being snuffed out by something as banal as biological malfunction after the blink of an eye.

If nothing else, if I got bored after x number of centuries, I'd want any useful/meaningful memories of mine to be indexed and saved on hyper-wikipedia rather than just be burned because a piece of meat rotted.
I'm saying it's amoral to create a slave that can feel pain/distress due to that enslavement. If you're having kids with the intent of enslaving or abusing them, that's morally bad as well.

Agreed. I always though that Chrome and ChromeOS were created so that Google could ensure that a platform always existed for their real products (which are offered over the web).

The Median upgrade Cycle for iPhone user are closing in to 3 years, with the whole industry trending to 4. And when you consider most of the used iPhone are being passed on to another user ( Family Members ) Generally Speaking iPhone as a product and ecosystem is doing pretty damn well.

What Apple needs however is to make swapping Battery cheaper, and invest in battery technology that makes them last longer in cycles. Right now the battery replacement is $ 69 for iPhone 12. While the iPhone 8 and below are much more reasonable $49.
Do you plan on enslaving said children?
Well, it depends on what you mean by suffering (and some say suffering isn't the right translation for what they really mean). For buddhists, pain, sadness and grief are not suffering, they are indeed an inescapable part of life and are to be fully embraced with awareness and compassion. Suffering is an unnecessary, clingy, ego-centric (hyphenated to emphasize the buddhist concept) reaction to them.

TL;DR: Forced arbitration is the worst.

Arbitration has its place, but I rather think there should be a "small claims" pecuniary limit on what can be considered eligible for this sort of clause. Anything over a few grand and you're talking about sums of money that can literally break people.

Seems somewhat inhumane to stifle recourse.
In theory.

In the real world my crusty old-fashioned drag-and-drop works way better than pretty much all "SPA"s (who are only trying to display plain text) on low/spotty connection. SPAs usually fail to display anything but a blank screen when there is a slow connection.

Losing form data hasn't been an issue in forever... The browser saves it when you go back or forward. You don't even need to press "back" - you can even just refresh the error page and as long as you click "yes" to the pop-up telling you you're resubmitting a POST, the form will submit with the original data entered, no problem.... Of course, SPAs like to break this for no reason, stop doing that.

If you are interested in this, you really should go watch the Tesla battery day presentation.

A few of their techniques will MASSIVELY reduce the cost per kwh of battery storage. They already have around $100/kwh tech and they are looking at reducing it to ~$50/kwh. Their big issue today is scaling. It's not that the batteries aren't cheap, it's that they simply can't make enough of them (they are scarce).

Tesla is way ahead of the curve when it comes to battery manufacturing, they have to be for their EVs. They are about to amp that up even further.
Here's an example: you can use tools like wp2static to render your Wordpress site entirely as static pages. This cuts Wordpress out of your deployed software entirely, which can eliminate a vector for a lot of vulnerabilities.

JAMstack isn't a move to microservices. In some places, it's about eliminating services entirely, or severely reducing their scope.
Why should we care what our genes want?

Also, as tech advances, the need for slow recombination goes away, as people can alter their genes and body on the fly. Supersede natural evolution, rather than bowing to it.
> Does that mean that the PE firms pretend the startups are doing a lot better, than what they actually are? So that the PE firm gets to sell the starup to someone else who pays "a lot too much" money?

I think typically not. That scheme is referred to as a "pump and dump" (buy a position in a company, greatly exaggerate it's value, then sell while the price is high, although you typically would do it with shares, not actual ownership of the company). I would imagine the people that play in this space could see the blood in the water. Plus the firms that do it are rather notorious, you'd want to do some serious thinking before paying them anywhere close to full price for an asset.

I'm not an expert, but from what I've gathered, they typically buy these companies, saddle them with as much debt as they can (which they then funnel into other ventures), liquidate anything worth selling (intellectual property, manufacturing facilities, etc), and then let the company crash into bankruptcy because it was already failing, and now it has tons of debt and nothing of value.

> What does that mean? A PE firm having management status? I'm thinking individual people have management status does it mean that the PE firm appoints some of its own people as managers / CEX:es?

It means they own the company; the PE firm is effectively the board of directors. I don't know what portion of the C-suite they typically replace. My offhand guess would be the CEO and CFO at the very least, to keep a tight hand on the purse strings. At this point, I doubt the rest of the C-suite matters much, because they plan on running the company into the ground. You probably don't have a ton of use for a CIO or COO in a company you don't expect to exist in a year (although I could very well be wrong).

The individual people with management status are also largely irrelevant. The plan is to leverage the corporate structure for profit, not the corporation itself. All the profit they want to extract comes from high level plays like selling IP and shuffling debt around; mid-level managers are basically just there to make sure that the company hobbles along long enough for the firm to extract maximal profits, which isn't very long.

Hopefully that's close to the truth; it's what I've picked up from other HN threads. I'm not a finance person so I don't know/understand the exact instruments used. Also, fair warning, since I'm basically just parroting information I've gotten from HN that I don't feel like I really understand, I've probably picked up whatever biases for/against PE firms were in those threads. It doesn't sound particularly vicious to me, which makes me think that either I don't fully understand the picture either, or that HN just really doesn't like PE firms (maybe for killing off what they saw as viable startups?).
I once took a class in college, “Cars and Culture”. I never forgot a line from that class - that “cars provided an extension of our legs”.

Ever since then, I have told many people and thought to myself many times, that tools, take Google for instance (search and indexing), knowledge management systems (Wiki and other techniques) - these are all extensions of our brains.

We evolve with technology, and it evolves with us. We might be losing our ability to remember, but if it is because we don’t “need” to remember because technology has augmented us... Well, this is why I also am fond of telling people that I have a difficult time separating technology from nature. Even though the two don’t seem like the same thing, technology too becomes part of the natural ecosystem as organisms invent and rely on it.

Also, another way of thinking about this is, maybe the ability to recall small detailed facts was evolutionarily less important than building models in our brains. So, we offloaded recording small facts, while I think we still ingest and build/train our neural nets just fine in our brains.

Then the only problem I see is, if life becomes all about mental models, when our ability to form new mental models degrades with age, what then? Especially with the rate of technological change, I do see a real likelihood that old mental models get left behind and without the ability to adapt, organisms (i.e.) us could be hosed.

Edit: ..and the last sentence could be why the big push for AI and machine learning too - to ensure the models get encoded into the technology too... and be discovered faster, changed more fluidly, etc. Another evolutionary tool.

>After being unable to resolve the matter following several appeals as part of our dispute resolution process, we informed this seller six separate times that they needed to remove their inventory from our store by specific dates or it would be destroyed," she said. "The seller failed to request to remove their inventory by the dates provided."

This seems more than fair. I'm not sure why he would put all his eggs in the Amazon basket though.

This very much reads like he wanted to keep selling on Amazon despite them trying to get him off the platform
Correct, but the RS-25 that are newly ordered from Aerojet Rocketdyne will not be reusable (not built to be reused).
Right. To clarify half life means the rate it divides in half so after 15 days about half of what you took 15 days ago is left, after another 15 days half of that is left or 25 percent of the original amount, and so on. So it stays in the body for months if you get enough vitamin D.

We already know CoV2 rarely causes any symptoms in children. I wonder if there was a time in prehistory where common Rhinoviruses and Coronaviruses wiped out larger populations of elderly.

Even if our immune system memory doesn't last very long for these types of viruses, wouldn't young people getting exposed to it now likely reduce its impact long term?

It also seems like >95% of people who die from this are over 55 years old. When you get into your 70s~80s, aren't common colds one of the things that result in natural deaths, due to an aging immune system allowing pneumonia to set in where it wouldn't in a younger person?

Before the pandemic, I was living in London shared flat with my partner and a friend of ours. Had quite a busy social life, working in an office in Soho.

Since the pandemic I have moved out of the city and into a more rural isolated area (Did not see any benefit to paying high rent prices in a city when all the facilities were shut down). All of my work has moved to remote working using video conferencing etc.

Before we would use Slack a lot, but in-person meetings were a common occurence and I would spend quite a lot of time outside of work with friends or colleagues discussing various topics.

Since being in this isolated environemnt I feel that because those interactions are far more rare when they do happen I struggle to recall words or phrases that were once commonplace in my vernacular.

This is all very anecdotal evidence of course, but it's somethig i've observed in myself of a number of occasions now.

Not all innovations need to be what we consider modern tech. I've always viewed Amazon as the modern equivalent of what Sears was, what Sears did with railroad and mail order Amazon did similar with the internet. It will likely last at least 50 years.

Though you are right, I think the part that will survive the longest and have the largest impact will be AWS more than the Amazon marketplace itself.

Europe's Second Wave of Covid-19 Is Being Driven by Two Countries. Here's Why
Yes. For those who haven't come across this factoid, it actually wasn't Plato, but Socrates who famously lamented the harmful effects of writing on memory and teaching. Socrates was a big fan of knowledge transmission through dialogue and discourse.

Socrates never wrote anything down, but Plato did, so ironically now we know about Socrates' disdain of writing through Plato's writings (in this case, the Phaedrus). Quoting a paraphrase from Wikipedia [1]

"... writing can do little but remind those who already know. Unlike dialectic and rhetoric, writing cannot be tailored to specific situations or students; the writer does not have the luxury of examining his reader's soul in order to determine the proper way to persuade. When attacked it cannot defend itself, and is unable to answer questions or refute criticism."

Semi-shameless plug (it's for the environment!!): We're launching something similar next week here [1]. Instead pulling off revenue we're helping teams plant trees when they close an issue or merge a PR. I think the additional visibility to the team members as they work has a great feel-good vibe! We currently connect with Github, Bitbucket, Gitlab & JIRA. We also give badges to show on your repos.
