Fair enough. It just never occurred to me that research labs might be just like running a company, except with no potential profitable upside.
I think the VAX was an icon. I did most of my CompSci undergrad on VAXen running Ultrix. But the VAX and even the later Alpha mnachines were too expensive for individuals or small businesses. Their entire business model was built around sales to corporations, government agencies, and academic institutions that wanted and could afford centralized multiuser machines.

The populated parts of those counties will be their own cities, which the county sheriffs have limited jurisdiction over. These cities will either have their own police departments, or they'll contract with the county sheriff to enforce the laws and regulations (in which case the decision on whether or not to enforce curfew will be the city's, not the sheriff's).
"philosophy is utterly incapable of telling us what to make or do"

Take a look at the enormous popularity of Stoicism on HN. I think quite a few people here would disagree with you about philosophy being "utterly incapable of telling us what to make or do".
There's a lot of hate on LinkedIn here, sorry to say I find it a highly useful tool and it appears to be the defacto way most companies hire so embrace the monster or some other pithy phrase but you get the idea
What bugs me is the seemingly high influx of users on HN that are accepting of such behavior. The propaganda is real.
LinkedIn was invaluable in finding a (new tech company non programming) job.

OTOH, I do the kind of work you don't do fizzbuzz tests for in an interview, and soft skills are a larger part of my job.

Tough numbers to make work. A hundred referrals and 88 bucks owed is... not a life changing number. Far more interesting is the revenue inflection point, going from an ongoing relationship worth zero to one worth 700 bucks a year.

But... apparently still not worth keeping:

> I’ve since removed all mention of Kiss My Keto, as I no longer have any interest in helping them earn money, regardless of what they pay me.

To me, it seems like the real story here might be that someone is selling bread for a 20 percent markup. Or maybe they aren't, but have been able to make ends meet by stiffing referrals. The margins on groceries are typically small, which is borne out by Amazon's 1 percent comission rate for the Grocery category. If someone comes along offering to 20x your income, skepticism is in order.

You can formalize that skepticism with a multi-armed bandit algorithm. Basically, put affiliate commissions into the feedback loop, picking which affiliate links to use by expected value. But it may take a while with low click through volumes.
But then who would do the work?

That is an UNIX problem, not every OS uses C as the OS ABI, e.g. Android, Windows, IBM i, z/OS, ...

Also given the target domain of C, the standard also must take into account possible free standing deployments, where an OS doesn't even come into play.
We use a few things at work (including google docs by not office). Quip is by far the universal favorite.

Its main advantage is that it presents an extremely good history of who said what when, and what parts of the document were updated. It also has a cross-document “inbox” of relevant updates.

The main disadvantage is that we can’t use it with collaborators outside the company. I’m not sure if that’s specific to our company or a product limitation.
It looks like you’ve constructed your whole argument against something I didn’t write, that is, I’m against PPT, and I’m not!

I agree with every principles in your argument, but even in this case, this tool can beat PPT in SOME cases.

I need to create 2/3 decks per week for my students, decks with some words, images, links, code, video, interactive object, etc that I present to them and after that they use as handouts. I’ve tested many tools for this stuff (PPT included), thus, I know precisely the different pro’s and con’s.

Btw, to me “words” and “short sentense” are very different things than “long-form text” and “dense information”, sorry if that wasn’t clear, my fault.

I was diagnosed with inattentive-type ADHD, and while I definitely felt the “high” from Adderall (and was convinced I was more productive) it was hard to say I actually was. I did find it easier to stay up later than I should; but that loan always comes with interest, the drugs just give you a bigger line of credit. Ditto other stimulants.

The only stimulant I still use is caffeine, and I would like to use that one less. For non-chemical coping, I find day-before and morning-of planning to help immensely with my ADHD symptoms. I do wish I had gotten non-medication help sooner in life, but even in my late twenties, still better late than never.
Show HN: Visualizing Deep Features from Podcasts
This is from a Uni project for my Data Visualization class.

https://joerogan.faith/
http://lexfridman.faith/

There are really only tools available to search through shallow features from podcasts, like episode title or description. I wanted to solve the following objectives with my visualization techniques:

- Topics Over Time: How does the term frequency of a topic change over time? https://i.imgur.com/f0BX7mx.png

- Screen Time: How much speaking/screen time does each participant take up during a podcast? https://imgur.com/a/P76ewPh

- If I like episode X, what other episodes are similar in content?

Looking for feedback and suggestions, thanks!
Sure. But they keep plenty - like the Ten Commandments. And many are, at least nominally, committed to the idea that the Bible is the Word of God, including the OT.

Anyway, it’s indeed my point that it’s not fair to judge Christianity (or other religions) by every part of their holy text, so I think we agree.
Having maintained a "portable" C code based across HP-UX, Aix, DG/UX, Solaris, Linux, BSD and Windows NT/2000, yes it is portable in theory, with plenty of workarounds in practice.
I don't feel shame for shaming unjust downvoters (that said, I've upvoted your comment, too).

A short googling for for "history of workplace safety in the us" reveals that unions had a hand in at least that. Probably in several other things you take for granted.

In my opinion it's a mistake to think that things like that cannot deteriorate away after they've been achieved once.

The importance of the VW case can be summarized as publicizing the following:

1) European countries experienced a mass delusion that diesel was cleaner than gasoline engines. This was based on measuring one emission gas, not all gases plus particulates. Sales are shifting from diesel to gas and electric now.

Note the reduction of diesel sales by 13.5% from 2017 to 2019:

https://www.acea.be/statistics/tag/category/share-of-diesel-...

2) All vehicle mfgs. game their emissions and product counts based on govt. mandates. VW got caught, but if you read the press, there are periodic articles on this topic. The main thing to know is that US domestic makers only make cars to offset the fact their profitable trucks emit more than the limits.
I was not aware of that. Interesting!

When everything you need is Linux.
That's exactly the authors point. MS Teams doesn't have to be good. People don't want to think about their tools and as long as they work reasonably well, people will use what they were given by their company. Since Microsoft included Teams in Office 365, companies decided to use Teams instead of paying extra for Slack.
Given that they were removed from the standard, yes modern.
I learned an important thing over time: recurring payment services always pay much higher commissions. One time purchases pay very little, even for big ticket items.

A 3€ per month liability insurance might have a 40€ commission, while a 400€ product might have a 10€ commission.
This is very true... The fruit is very fragile and degrades too fast.
> It's not the same though.

It's not even remotely in the same league as Slack.
But the point of this post isn’t that LinkedIn isn’t useful, it’s that it does have value but at the same time takes advantage of your need for their service in a hostage-like way by using lots of dark patterns and psychological tricks to get you to do things like pay for it and put up with being stalked by unsavory people (particularly if you’re female).

It’s a story about how a useful service that is difficult to quit for professional reasons takes full advantage of that dynamic to get away with doing really annoying or awful things.
Is it reasonable to assume that many wallets won't get migrated and could eventually be seized by whoever (eventually) possesses a sufficiently strong QC? If Larry Fink is right, then that could be untold billions, assuming for sake of argument BTCUSD goes to $1,000,000 by the time such a QC is feasible.

If Satoshi Nakamoto did lose his keys to those treasure trove wallets, those will be up for grabs, as will anyone who lost keys.

Perhaps hoarded encrypted PCAP's aren't the only motivator for quantum opportunists.
I appreciate you actually naming the scumbags. It's tiresome how people are overly diplomatic these days.
VMS also had automatic file versioning. It was pretty simplistic as I recall, like every time you saved a file, it got a .1, .2, .3, etc added to the file name. I don't recall how many versions it kept.
VLAs are no longer in the standard since C11.

Yes they are still there are optional, which basically means that other than clang and gcc, no other C compiler is going to bother supporting them anyway.

Google has sponsored a 2 year effort to remove all VLAs from Linux kernel, that is how much love they get from the security industry.
The classic analogy says Toyota shouldn’t be allowed to own the roads.

These days, bundling fueling stations (Tesla) and access to streaming audio services (some head units) arguably crosses the line.

Some cars won’t start if you replace the radio with a third party unit. I’m not sure when that started being a common thing.
I work at one of the FAANGs and was promoted twice within two years. I've been plateauing since, and can definitely relate.

Regarding strategy to get out of the plateau, I think you really have to play to your strengths. Most high leveled people I've found to be lacking in certain areas, but almost all of them are exceptional in at least one area.

Try to think through what strengths you have and see if you can double down on them:

Are you really good at writing a lot of code and shipping things? Perhaps your archetype is a coding machine, and you should find ways to write even more code (without comprimising quality).

Are you really good at collaborating with all sorts of different personality types? Perhaps your archetype is a cross functional engineering leader that can lead complex cross team initiatives.

Find what you're good at. Double down on that and promotions will happen naturally.

The ISP provided DNS in South Korea is absolutely terrible too. Setting 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 always serves far better experience than the ISP's.
IMO, he really did, but it was ripe for a change in any case - what we needed was leadership that realized the need for it, and would clearly and unambiguously greenlight the critical mass of proponents on lower managerial levels (where those things actually get done); Satya provided exactly that. But I don't know whether this is translatable to, or even applicable to, Google.
What I often see is people want 100% coverage AND want tests to run fast. And often that leads to using mocks and other techniques. Once you go down that road you end up with brittle test and your developers spend a lot of time writing and repairing tests.

I'm not against testing but feel people waste a lot of time writing tests that are more a liability then an asset. I'm hoping we get better tools soon and people look back and wonder WTF were people thinking.
Already done in C11, they were marked optional, so any compiler that jumped from C89 to C11 (we are on the edge of C2x now), isn't required to even bother themselves with VLAs and will still achieve C11 certification (C17, C2X,...)
You likely design very different software systems than I do. I don’t have the luxury of ignoring performance, efficiency, and scalability. I don’t have any particular love for C++, there are many things wrong with it, but sadly there isn’t a practical alternative that doesn’t have worse trade offs. Ironically, I largely refused to use C++ until C++11. I delivered systems in a long list of other languages before that time; my usage of C++ is relatively recent. My choice is pragmatic and based on experience.

If you can’t think of reasons to use C++, that isn’t because reasons don’t exist.
> But is philosophy's function to find answers?

You're moving the goal posts. Why did you just say that philosophy can help us address a long list of questions if you're willing to concede that maybe philosophy isn't for answering questions at all.

OP wants answers. They want to develop a personal philosophy. They are not looking to "expand their horizons" or "question everything."

> there's also arguably no way to "objectively" tell who is right in philosophy, as what that even means or what standards we use is itself open to debate.

Then it's not going to be very useful to OP, is it? It's like using a random number generator to predict the Powerball. "One of these numbers will win. Can't say which, though."

Because C++ compilers aren't required to be C compilers as well.

However they have backtracked on their position regarding supporting C on Windows, so latest MVSC does support C11 and C17.
Tesla was deemed an essential business and remains open...

Outdoor gun ranges are also still open.

Churches are still open.

Also, most of Amazons warehouses are in conservative areas like San Bernardino and largely white employ right leaning voters.

Simply put, while the latest lockdowns follow the same ineffectual policies of the earlier lockdowns, they're not based on targeting ideological opponents and protecting political allies.
You didn't answer the question I asked, which was how many people's lives would be saved by keeping restaurants open.

Instead you answered a question I didn't ask: how many lives would be lost by allowing outdoor dining.

Two completely different questions.

However, if one of the requirements for making outdoor dining safe is to wear masks, I don't see how it can be made safe, since as far as I know people can't eat or drink with masks on.

Furthermore, at least in my own informal witnessing of people dining outdoors, the norm is for people to socialize at tables without masks, with only a couple of feet between them. I wouldn't call that social distancing either.

That's two strikes against outdoor dining: lack of masks and lack of social distancing.

I'd love to have asked that UCSF expert what she had to say about this.

Something else to consider is that restaurants aren't only doing poorly because they're being locked down, but even when they're open many people are choosing (very sensibly, from my perspective) to avoid them. That won't be fixed by ending lockdowns.

Anyway, I'm still waiting to hear someone tell me how many lives would be saved by allowing restaurants to open. Is it going to be anywhere near 3,000 in a single day? Somehow I very much doubt it.
I’m pretty sure it precedes WWII. Compare the work of scientists like Alan Turing with the pre-war work of Claude Shannon/Vannevar Bush.

Turing was a mathematician focused on theoretical problems. Shannon and Bush spent several years building analog computers at MIT.

I think the difference was the way electronics and telecommunications established themselves as academic disciplines in America.

America was training tons of electrical engineers, but surprisingly few mathematicians, as early as the mid 19th century.

Look at schools like MIT - what the UK equivalent? Oxbridge is known for Classics, PPE, and Maths. There’s no “institutes of technology.”

The main point of the post is not that LinkedIn isn’t useful, it’s that it is useful but takes advantage of your professional need to be on the service whether you want to or not that is akin to a hostage-like situation.

The hostage dynamic allows it to get away with really annoying and awful features that you put up with anyway because you have little choice.
Looks like KMK just tried to cheat hoping that nobody would make much of a fuss over a hundred bucks or so. And they are probably right in enough cases to make it worth it. If occasionally somebody does make a fuss, they just pay up the hundred bucks and still aren't worse than before.
Funny thing is that ICQ basically did all of that in 1998. We are going backwards in software development.
A high school English teacher spoiled me by having us read Cat's Cradle instead of the more common/historical Slaughterhouse Five. Great kickoff to a lifelong love of his satire.
Cat's Cradle shows both the horror and absurdity of Nuclear War. It's unbelievable to imagine losing all the world's water and yet anyone can fathom how actually horrific it would be. This is Vonnegut's gift. Hard to imagine another write who can make you feel knowledgeable and challenged but also doesn't require some deep subject/stylistic knowledge of the allegories to be in on the joke.
Breakfast of Champions is also a must read. No book has ever made me laugh out loud both at the deadpan delivery and absurdity.
Sorry I wasn't clear, I was talking about public health officials in general not local and state public health officials specifically.

OP talks about how people will be coming with pitchforks for public health officials. I think more ire will be directed at national public health officials than state and local ones. The national ones obviously screwed up when it came to messaging regarding masks, and I think less obviously but just as importantly screwed up when it game to rolling out the vaccine.

These decisions are probably more impactful than the decisions state and local health officials made around whether bars are open or not.
my point was that its not that simple, and you sound like a zealot. Apple's main focus has always been about creating an amazing experience for humans via Apple computers and devices. Thats it. The hardware is secondary and the expandability is secondary. How that has played has changed over time and depending on the context (ex: the original Mac Pro or even the first Macs), but allowing someone to add all the ram and storage has never been at the forefront of apple's vision.

There are clearly billions of people who are okay with giving up 'control' over their devices and data, whether its apple or amazon or google. I know my windows machine nags me every time I restart to phone home to MS and setup some account, and that's not even a reinstall. My android device asks for a google login at like step 3 of the setup process. Sure, I can bypass it, cuz I don't care and they aren't my primary machines, but most people will not.

Most people don't care if their laptop or phone phones home when it needs to be reset, as long as it works and makes them happy. Most people (I would guess 99%+) don't repair their devices beyond fixing a cracked screen or maybe adding RAM or a new GPU to a prebuilt gaming PC. How many folks can even dismantle and work on a modern phone with any success, whether Android or iOS?

Some people think about privacy and ads and surveillance wrt technology. I know I do. I see that Apple does things that can serve multiple interests at the same time, and it isn't so black and white:

* they want to sell a shit load of services and hardware and continue to make crazy amounts of money

* they see that privacy is slowly (but surely) becoming a thing people want, especially those w/ the dollars and more tech savvy. So they are focusing on privacy with their products, and that is real. No matter how much apple haters love to call out counter examples, they are making a real effort - look at Siri and iMessage and Apple Maps.

* they also want do deliver an amazing experience to people - I know I don't need to explain how security and user experience are often in conflict.

Ignoring all these factors at play here is missing the bigger picture.
I'd be surprised if most universities did not offer a VPN service. I know mine does so that you can access resources only available on the intranet (like course websites) while being off-campus.

They did, unfortunately. But the rest of the Firefox group was left mostly intact.
Even NeXT ported their OS to the 468. The legacy of that is likely why they were able to fairly easily transition MacOS from PPC to Intel years later. I had heard rumors that every version of Mac OS X had an Intel build secretly running at Apple.
Cutler's a legend and only because he didn't design an open-source OS is he basically forgotten by everyone except OS architects.
Thanks. It seems like powerful tech but the fact that it isn't more widespread seems that it's as daunting to others as it is to me :-).
This is simply not true. For example, I live in unincorporated San Mateo County. By your hypothesis, I live in an area that is not heavily populated. But it's a regular suburban neighborhood that is 3 miles from downtown Palo Alto and downtown Menlo Park. I have lived in both NorCal and SoCal, and this is common in both areas. Where do you live, and what makes you so certain that unincorporated areas in California are not populated?

Separately, do you really think that if the OC Sheriff says "we are not enforcing Newsom's rules" that the deputies are going to enforce those rules in cities within their patrol areas? If a Sheriff has decided not to enforce a law in his jurisdiction, why would he direct his deputies to enforce that same law in other parts of his patrol area?

Depending on the amount (that was $88 per the screenshot?), that is something you take to small claims court, you don't even need a lawyer for that.
