It should be mentioned that Steph Curry was drafted behind Hasheem Thabeet, Tyreke Evans, Ricky Rubio, and Jonny Flynn, among others.

Hiring is always a crapshoot. Pro sports teams spend a lot more time and money on talent evaluation than tech companies and still get it hilariously wrong all the time.
Simple and cool!
You're hardly the only one, 3.3/5 star rating on the Mac App Store and the #1 downloaded developer tool. Can't live with it, can't live without it.
The theory is all classical ie electric and magnetic fields and while there are quantum states in the sense of electron orbitals including previously unrecognised ones below the traditional ground state, there is no quantum math ie wavefunctions. No entanglement, no dead and live cats etc.
Electron orbit is modeled as an infinitessemally thin fluid shell with charge elements spinning around the nucleus along all great circle orbits. However, while spinning, the orbital does not change - it's like a standing wave, and thus it does not radiate.
Tylenol overdose is too common. I doubt the medicine would be legal today if someone tried to release it now.
That is an exceptionally poor interpretation of a plot if I've ever seen one.

> As you can see here, the first half of 2020 was an exceptionally deadly year.

In fact, what the plot shows is a milder flu season than usual, followed by an exceptionally deadly spring.

> After that, and especially now, Sweden compares favorably with other years.

Summer and fall, mortality was very slightly below average. Not much to write home about. But "especially now"? Does the author actually believe the sharp drop at the end represents actual data, instead of the fact that in Sweden, reported deaths lag by roughly 2-3 weeks? This means that at each given date, deaths reported for the preceding few weeks seem to sharply plummet: https://ourworldindata.org/covid-sweden-death-reporting
> I’m an immigrant, and I’ll never stand for any kind of reparations for descendants of former slaves. Invariably this will come out of tax dollars to which I’m contributing by way of income tax. Why should I be charged for wrongs - however horrible - in which neither myself nor my ancestors were involved?

Why should you be a contributor to the wrongs of this country's past? Simple, because you are a member/resident of this country, and this country benefits from them. I could be wrong, but I don't see any complaints about paying of any war debt accrued by the US from entering WW II or the Vietnam war, but you also pay towards that. It's accepted that current us citizens who benefit from the previous actions of the country, also have responsiblity for the previous decisions of the country.

An enormous part of the reason why this country is so financially successful is because of slavery and stealing wages for so long. That's why the US was an agricultural powerhouse, that's why the north industrialized so quickly, that's why we became a major economic power in the 20th century.

And even you yourself admit you see all of those benefits, and reap them. You came to this country presumably for those exact reasons. You're as you say an immigrant, and the reason you chose to come here, and not stay where you were was because of exactly the benefits this country accrued by leaning heavily on slavery during it's critical period.

The fact you had negative experiences while here (and I'm sorry you did), doesn't invalidate or outweigh the fact that you came here to benefit from America's benefits, and that you have benefited from them.

American education does an incredibly poor job of covering the financial windfall of slaver in the US. And (extremely reasonably) people from other countries who move here never learned about it back home. To give some perspective, the value of "human capital" held as chattel slaves, was more valuable than all industrial and transportation capital in the entire country.[1] That's how much value was present. I'd highly recommend anyone who hasn't really read about slavery to really read about it. Unfortunately there was an intentional concerted effort in the middle of last century to downplay the scope and impact of slavery in the US and a lot of those vestiges are present because it was very successful.

There is way more here than the simplistic arguments that are made online in chat forums. I'd recommend looking into it. While not ideal, this essay is a decent place to start if you're curious. [2]

Actually Google does this all the time. They just simply change the UX and features for products for seemingly no reason. e.g on Android, when I want to save a link to Pocket, I'd use the share button and it'd pop a list of all the apps I could share to. Now that has disappeared and has been replaced with a smaller list of apps(4-5) and the most recently used app to share or the most frequently used (pocket in either case) is not on this list. I have to scroll to the right and click on more apps.

Another example - on Android the pull down settings menu has now changed such that the list of apps is again restricted. I have to pull it twice to see the full list.

I've been holding onto Android for a while now but Google is trying their best to make me to iOS.

I'm currently working with this API, and I think that if I didn't have experience with Amazon's old seller API (MWS), I wouldn't even know where to start with this one. As it is, it's taken me many, many hours to figure out how to make this one (sorta) work.

Yes, there's a pretty fundamental problem: does your mock match the behavior of the real component? You can never be sure, unless you write extensive tests that compare your mock to the real component. And then those tests need the real component.

But mocks could be useful for testing that your code correctly handles errors that are returned by an external component.
It provides a user the ability to see unencrypted message details on an unlocked phone. Similar to, you know, looking in the app and taking screenshots.
That is really weird, is there any reason to use them other than repeated removal/reinsertion? (Hence found on chip programmers, component testers, etc.)
Companies have hunted Intellectuals from perspective of tools for a task from long time. Its controversial, but reality is that majority of high intellectual people are lacking emotional intelligence as a standard. Real Intelligence is holistic balance, intellect is pattern recognition quality. I cannot imagine what future will be created from emotionally unbalanced engineers. Ethics and philosophy are indeed needed in this moment dearly to be placed in creating systems for future. And under ethics I don't mean "liberal universities" only point of view.
> And the second order of business assuming it is even a good idea would be to determine who should pay.

Thats easy, the same government that permitted and regulated slavery is the first defendant. After that any other legal institution that still exists in the same form (universities, state and city governments, non-profits, etc.).

> We also don't live in states where slavery was ever a thing.

They made the cross country railroad on slave labor. Pretty sure every state has benefitted from rail traffic.
Not really. 13F filings are quarterly with a 45 day delay. ETF holdings are published daily with no delay on the Issuers website.
Muggsy re:the NBA has always stood out to me as an example of the failure of a supposedly efficient market due to a massive but unintuitive oversight. It would be one thing if he had just been a middling player, but even with the MASSIVE height disparity between him and the rest of the league, he proved to be a standout player, easily in the top 50% of players historically, and probably much higher. Clearly, there's a role for short men even at the upper echelons of the sport - not just as a curiosity, but as an effective value-add above an average replacement, in part because of his lack of stature. But you almost never see NBA players below 5'9". The players are tall. The coaches are tall. Surely being tall is generally necessary for success in the sport? But then, Muggsy.

Read between the lines. If all the players are tall, and all the coaches are tall, and the game has been played for more than a half century with that assumption... who knows how to train/coach a short player?
Ask HN: Do you think there will be a future exchange for ethical companies?
I am not interested in short-term shareholder profit. After seeing articles about micro-plastics in the environment, privacy violations, data misappropriation, and employee abuse--I have lots of cognitive dissonance in participating in a stock market of companies that do not care about anything but shareholder profit.

Why do companies not get stopped in their tracks from causing damage which is motivated by greed? Fines always seem to be baked into the cost-of-doing-business-model. Why aren't companies threatened with de-listing or frozen periods based on their competitive behavior.
Thanks :) And before you go watching it - there's nothing to see, just some flashes of color with flapping noises, then grass for 2 seconds.
Agree that it's Berkson's Paradox.

Just because I see some stronger-worded rebuttals in this thread, I want to point out that just because this is true (it is Berkson's Paradox), that does not mean it cannot be a valuable observation. As the author pointed out, for example, it might mean that this attribute is overweighted in hiring, which is something worth considering.
Yes I meant short relative to NBA players.
> If a Starbucks coffee cup does it, it means precisely nothing. You don't know that; you're just saying it to be nice.

It's actually worse than this. They're not doing it out of the kindness of their heart to be nice to you. They're doing it to manipulate your emotions to force a positive responsive with their interactions such that it increases your likelihood of paying them more money in the future.

They're not being nice to you, they're manipulating you.
> the statute of limitations applies.

The statute of limitations is a law. We are talking about a moral claim that supercedes the text of laws. Remember this is from a time when slavery itself was legal.

Also consider there is no statute of limitations for some crimes including murder.

> I really hope you're not suggesting that we set a precedent of digging through history to find old debts we might be owed.

I think he's more suggesting we not set a precedent of permitting people to benefit financially from atrocities if they can run out the clock.
Shitlist Driven Development (2016)
I’ve seen this over and over. The engineer building the mock is the same that wrote the code, so the same incorrect assumptions get baked into both.

This is what makes mocks of limited utility. In the end, they don’t prove the code works and they are expensive to create and maintain.
I was comparing his height to his peers in the NBA.
If you’ve read Nadia Eghbal’s Working in Public, or heard about it from a podcast or blog, you might’ve learned about the four classifications of open source projects (toys, clubs, stadiums, and federations).

Was actually looking at flying to Austria in June for the Global Mountain biking festival. Obb's website has a decent English translation which I'm thankful for, kinda cool to see them pop up in the news.
I can already see folks commenting out that this is the reason we should stop whiteboard interviews. But let's take a step back.

Whiteboard weeds out candidates that cannot code period. I wouldn't believe the legend of the "senior engineer" who couldn't FizzBuzz until I met him. I've personally conducted interview where a simply word count function (take a string, count the words) couldn't be implemented in 30 minutes. And the resume listed proficiency in several programming languages.

Now this study tells us that competitive programmers aren't that great among the candidates that were hired, not among the pool of candidates. That's very different.

On the “Good Java should resemble C” front, I’ve jumped onto plenty of projects that had methods taking char and I guarantee you those methods were not easy to understand. And the debate on using typedefs to add type checking for things that are just an int underneath is alive and well just as wrapping an int in an object is in Java.
Eddy Goldfarb! A legend.
Cool site and visuals.

Do the trades reflect re-weights? Or do they reflect money flows (creations and redemptions) into the fund?

Also for the performance heatmap it would be cool to normalize performance to the return of the S&P or of the ETF itself over that same time frame.
Those are more or less direct subsidies.
Matroska is really great for streaming. It is a very featureful container, it can even be streamed over a lossy connection!

It is a shame that Chrome only allows it to contain vp8/opus. If it allowed all the codecs in mp4 I think it would see much wider adoption.
Is it wise to stretch other species’ defaults to this issue? It is our behavior that is discussed, not that of some “higher mammals”. If that was natural to us, it would be a known widespread phenomenon in “feral” areas. Nothing adds more tension to the society than depriving most fundamental drives. Thank god these do not include opposing each other by forming large groups or not giving respect or food to someone because they don’t look better than us.
Right. So instead of speculation killed dataflow it's speculation used dataflow but in a useful way.

> Post-slavery, black sharecroppers basically made nothing after expenses. So how much was their time actually worth? (An economist will ask this.)

How much was the labor of slaves worth to the slaveowners? surely you're not arguing it was worth nothing?

> Post-slavery, norhern states, which had no slaves, paid the cost of welfare for millions of black families. So how does that factor in?

The price of social programs don't factor in at all.

> Since there's intermarriage in America, what's a quanta of African blood? How much does one get paid per 1/32? (This is referring to the heated race arguments of the 1800s and 1900s.)

This will come up if the reparations take the form of payments to individuals.

> Do you have any experience with the above? My family is from the Detroit area, so I'm one of few posters on HN that actually does know something about these issues.

Thank heavens we live in a country where people are allowed to have opinions without demonstrating the right to those opinions on the basis of heritage.

> The US paid a heavy price during the civil war, one of the biggest issues being related to slavery. Do the northern states get reparations for freeing the slaves?

Why would they?

> That's the problem when you drag history into modern times. One of the biggest advantages that the US has over other countries is that we don't continue to fight the same battles over and over.

Sadly you can't get rid of the effects of history by choosing to forget about it.

> Even before corona, black familiies in America struggled greatly with maintaining households and educating their children. Instead of virtue signalling, why don't you contribute to solving today's enormous problems?

This is unhelpful.
If there's no other traffic around and nothing to hit I don't see how you can find fault with him going 100+mph. It's like any other dangerous thing people willingly do (e.g. rock climbing). It's also only like 15mph faster than the light traffic on a clear day speed on most beltway interstates to put it in perspective.

If they get a tech job paying greater than $50,000 per year, then they pay some proportion of their pay, for a period of years, up to a maximum of $30k. So are you saying the student earned enough to pay $30k? Then they also earned a lot more than that after the program for themselves. If they didn’t earn more than $50k per year for a few years after lambda school, they pay nothing
It isn't a constitutional crises any more than time manner and place restrictions on protests, or warrant-less searches of cars, or stops for DUI checkpoints without any suspicion, or a hundred other things are, or requiring a clear background check before purchasing a firearm.

Your constitutional rights are not absolute. With the appropriate level of scrutiny, in furtherance of a valid interest the government can restrict these rights
>For example, I would like to study subjects x, y, and z throughout the day.

Study x, and x only, that day. In other words, reduce scope. Sequential works. Completely shatter something, and then go on to the next thing.

Even then, "study" is pretty vague. Having something quantifiable and observable helps. I want to read and summarize in my own words article A this afternoon.

After you do something, you should be able to tell if you "did it" or not. "Study" has no beginning and no end. You can't really know if you "studied", but you can know if you did a problem set.

>It may be that I am spreading myself too thin trying to learn so many various different things, that it overwhelms my mind and the mind retaliates by doing nothing.

Most likely this.

Queuing things works. You want to learn about topic X and found a really nice tutorial but you're doing Y, put it into a task, and keep doing Y.

When you have time for X, block two hours, and commit to do X and only X and nothing but X for two hours. You'll be way ahead than trying to octopus your way around learning things.

I use TaskWarrior. The files are committed to a repository management system. I can pull them from any laptop. I have categories "read", "watch" for articles or videos.

I use "Video Speed Controller" to speed up videos that have no slides up to 16x: the video becomes the slides. I verify that information density is acceptable for the topic I want to learn, and it helps me weed out videos that don't contain what I'm looking for. At 16x, a one hour video becomes 3 or 4 minutes. I can weed out videos pretty fast.

I use "YouTube Captions Search" to search text in a YouTube video (from Closed captions). I'll see the treatment of it. I can index that, too, and go back to a video I know addressed an issue and go right back to the timestamp where an issue was talked about.

I also aggressively spend money not to waste time on X in order to generously spend time on Y. Always did (even if it meant skipping lunch in college to afford catching a cab home and save six hours daily). These reclaimed hours went to things I wanted to do more than waiting for the bus. These can be intimate life, work, learning, family, health, friends, rest.

I'm similar to what you describe yourself to be, and these have worked for me.

The big thing is how much noise canceling you're after. A $50 set of Anker Soundcore's will remove engine noise but not a noisy neighbor - I like them for travel because the battery is solid and I won't cry if I lose them.

On the other hand, a $400 set of Sony's will basically put you in audio isolation - to the point that some people genuinely don't like them. A friend had me put his pair on in the middle of a busy restaurant at lunch time and I'm not kidding when I say it felt pin drop quiet.
> While alt-right figures have been increasingly chased off Facebook and Twitter, podcasting is shaping up as the next arena where the fight over questionable or dangerous content will play out.

I can't read this and not read "We banned people who disagree with us because they had some silly ideas and now they went to other platforms and are gaining support!"

When platforms choose to censor people, they seem to feel like they effectively "killed" the threat. No, the people you refused to argue with just moved and they'll definitely bring everyone who thinks like they do together.

These platforms are going against the information age, towards some kind of "censor age" - It won't work. This will only alienate people into groups that hate each other.
Is it possible for something to be open-source and proprietary at the same time?

It is not. Although in this case, it could perhaps be interpreted as "proprietary protocol for (interacting with?) open-source encryption".
