I think he’s right. Hover menus are slow (often you need to wait for it to open), and if you accidently hover just before trying to click something, you will click on the surprise menu, not what I want to click.
I never worked at Goldman or had close friends there, but I have spent a modest amount of time in circles where people went to or came from Goldman.

Possibilities:

* Yes, it's sequential. It's hard to partition the task of creating a model of some analysis in a spreadsheet to multiple parties. Amdahl's law affects humans too.

* Context. Transferring context -- implicit knowledge -- from a client to partner to a junior associates is hard. Transferring it to two junior associates is harder. The more skilled or more domain knowledge someone gets, the harder the skill/KT transfer gets.

* Coordination. Partitioning a task to two associates coherently, getting both to equally understand it, execute on it, having them communicate effectively with each other on it, getting results back that are coherent and consistent, is all a burden you don't have if you have one person working longer. Brooks's law basically.

* Competitive culture. Goldman recruits from the most competitive academic institutions and thus gets people who are very bright and work very hard and have spent years competing with others and harnessing those two capabilities when competing with each other or the standard of pleasing someone (professor, client, etc). Even without management pushing, in an environment competing as junior associates, they will continue to use both of those strengths to their utmost in an attempt to dominate (or keep their head above water).

* Deadlines - Tight deadlines make all the above problems worse. The sooner the deadline the harder to partition the problem and the easier to just "work more hours"

Meta-dynamics:

* Firm competitive advantage/moat - If a firm can hire the very brightest people who also work the hardest, they can promise the best results on the tightest deadline. By promising a tight deadline of X quality, they can then offer something their competitors don't/can't. If they sacrifice either of those hiring approaches, they are subject to significant competitive pressures. Thus a firm in Goldman's position is led for competitive reasons to push for shortest deadlines possible which leads to the above effects.

* Normally salaries would limit the amount of abuse people would take but there is extra capital for pay available in the financial sector in part because the monetary focus and measurements and payoffs can be so clear and direct (for management). The higher pay allows associates to more quickly pay off college loans and accumulate capital. Ironically, this in turn is partially used by elite universities to justify charging more tuition which then requires a certain set of poeople in those universities to need to go work in a place like Goldman to more quickly recoup their educational investment ... a vicious cycle/positive-feedback-loop.

I'm sure there are more and better explanations, but that's what I see...
I think you're just projecting what you're familiar with. People who know people in investment banking (or big law) are very familiar with practices there and there are also any number of books that have been written about it.
And even that average paints a strange picture (it's distorted by high earners).

Median household income is £29.9K (and some households have two or more earners).

Full time minimum wage is ~£15K a year.

I look over the pond and see what people with my level of experience are earning and think "damn, I'm under paid" then I look at at the median household income and think damn I'm way over paid.
I have an original iPhone SE and I very rarely hit this, mostly by more amateurish applications, but it is still very frustrating when it happens.

For an example there's an application I use to put money on my washing card, and also book washing machines in my building, and that doesn't work on my iPhone SE, even though that application is mostly a webview.

It could be nice if Apple could detect these issues in the review process.
Radix Positional notation is just one way to represent numbers. A way that is better for arithmetic than arbitrary numerals certainly. However it's important to remember that alternatives give us a comparison. A way of seeing implicit detail. Who knows, maybe someone will invent a better notation one day, and those future humans will look back and wonder why we didn't see the obvious solution!
Yeah, sorry, it is a bit confusing.

When reading "libgen/scihub are of such monumental social/moral worth that their illegality delegitimizes the law as a whole", I first empathized with it, but I found it wrong on second thought.

My point is: this statement feels right to someone like me but is logically wrong and there are many complicated and subtle things to say about this, that I wanted to say to people who'd be inclined to agree with this statement for the same reasons as me.

If the statement felt wrong to you on first thought, then my comment might seem out of topic or pointless.

The grind is that if you are coming from impoverished circumstances, it the salary you can send e.g. to your family can lift your whole family out of poverty.

It's a great personal sacrifice that most HN readers do not need to make, but keep in mind there are people for whom this presents an opportunity to change their entire family's life.
"VW is "building six battery factories in Europe alone"."

Interestingly VW's six factories by 2030 produce totally about as much (240 GWh) as Tesla's one Berlin factory, which is due to start limited battery production in 2023, starting at 100 GWh per year, later ramping up to 200-250 GWh.
why?

pride in worksmanship, perhaps...

because 1% is still quite a few users for whom the experience sucks...

or perhaps just plain old empathy...

because not every customer can just replace their device...

or... i dunno... just avoiding someone posting embarrassing screenshots of one's app looking like shit on hacker news?
Wow this is awesome, as an IT guy working with webrtc/voip, a hobbyist guitar player and electronic aficionado this looks amazing. Kudos to all the team working on this.
Lots of issues with long-term consistency in these, but I expect now the dataset is out those shouldn't take too long to resolve.
Important note: the author is actually talking about the 2020 iPhone SE. There has got to be tons of those + iPhone 8/7/6S’s still in use.
I didn’t. It was the Rowley compiler iirc?
What people don't see about GA, is that the data doesn't stop at you: "here is your data, X unique visitors, have a nice day".

It has a wider lifecycle: "this is YOUR data, and we collect, maintain, process, sell these data to a myriad other sources for a myriad other purposes". GA just feeds these monsters.

Most GA users just don't care about their clients/readers privacy. Or they care 'a little' but they care 'a lot more' in monetizing.

We externalize the costs, or find shady revenue streams. As long as people think "it's free therefore it is good and I like it" we are not progressing.
I once worked for a German company (remotely) who made it clear that working beyond 6pm wouldn't lead to much progress, and my lead consistently logged out at just the time. So I had to follow his example and couldn't potter around after. I still love the team for that. But we consistently did a solid day's worth of work everyday and there wasn't much juice left to continue after.

There's certain monied interests that would want to keep the cost of money low enough that they can ride it up before selling, and i'm sure their influence is high.

Even the Feds are saying they'll let inflation run high "for a bit".
> In preparation for its robotaxi service, Tesla could launch a human-driven ride-hail network first, delivering a highly profitable recurring revenue stream and limiting the downside of a failed autonomous service.

How do I short Cathy Woods?

Uber and Lyft still haven’t figured out how to turn a profit and they think not only could Tesla enter this space, they would be able to do it and be immediately profitable.

LOL.
Tesla's lineup is still great, but other automakers are closing the gap very quickly. And that's with the intentional market segmentation they have to do in order for EVs not to look too attractive compared to their ICE lineup.

Looking into the future, for example Hyundai Ioniq 5, it's not clear how will Tesla compete. Elon factor will only get them so far.
Apple devices are full of dark patterns (to get you to enable "upload everything always to iCloud") and bad UX. Even super basic stuff like the alarm clock ("bedtime") has become a Rube Goldberg-esque nightmare, and good UX elements have been replaced with garbage in other places as well. For example, setting the time of an alarm requires you to drag in a 5x5 mm area for hour and minute, respectively. Not only is that a way too small area for a touch interface, but you are also not seeing what you are setting it to. Utter garbage.
And then you make it suck for everyone else.

Mobile first often made the experience suck for desktops.

Tiny screen first just makes the experience suck for everyone.

The author says: Also, I don’t care if the statistics for small devices is less than 1%, it’s just pure respect for those users.

But that's a false dichotomy.
> Basically you are doubling the layout effort on your designers and app developers (or let's say 1.3 times modifier at least), and those designs have to be maintained as well.

Judging by the screenshots in the article this really isn’t true. Devs just need to bother to test with these small devices, they’d see the padding and offset issues immediately and it would be an easy fix.
Gross margins and free cash flow yields seem very high here. I don’t see that Tesla has the kind of pricing power to make this a reality. EV competition will surely prevent this from happening?

I heard ARK’s founder talking about genomics the other day, they have a fund that invests in this area. I work in genomics and most of what she said was just buzzword nonsense.
I think we can not assume that the people who take pride in their 100h work week actually are honest to themselves. Maybe they are 100h in their office but I can not imagine that they are fully concentrated and don‘t get distracted at all
Even outside Pokémon, amazingly.
This is not true. We still use my iPhone SE with a 4" screen as the primary testing device for our iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/vendi-buy-sell-verified-phones...

There are many advantages to it. If it looks good on the SE, we can be reasonably sure it will look good on everything else (though this was affected by the introduction of the notch). Also, flagship iPhones can easily handle badly designed apps but my phone will show lag and artifacts while scrolling through an infinite scrolling screen.

The horror!

My mom will for sure delete her local bank’s app if she sees the post showing that the padding is a few pixels off on a phone she doesn’t own.
I have not read the novel, but put it on my reading list a few days back when I discovered it in the best reads list of "The complete Review" [1], which in turn I discovered via the excellent Conversations with Tyler [2] podcast which I started listening to in order a week or two back. I discovered this in a roundabout way via Hackernews (was mentioned in unrelated linked posts multiple times lately)

Why this comment? If you don't know, please check out the fantastic Conversations with Tyler podcast. And if you are looking for a very diverse, entertaining and informative podcast, try it.

Also the "Complete Review". Wow what a website! Proper 90s feel and still delivering value. If you think Lolita is one of the best books to read, you are probably having a similar taste and the reviews might work for you.

The original conversation happened almost 2 centuries ago I think (1830's). But sure!

I think we throw away the baby with the bathwater when we say "Malthus was wrong". I think it's better to say "Malthus inspired the beginning of an awesome idea".

Malthus' original idea was where he plotted population growth and food production in the same graph. When the 2 lines crossed, that's bad.

That's obviously not very realistic, but actually he had the gist of it; it just needed a bit of refinement.

Not much later, another Belgian by the name of Verhulst did indeed improve on Malthus' model. He came up with a formula where at first the population grows exponentially; and then later it slows down before it reaches the limit (carrying-capacity). In Verhulst's model, you don't have a catastrophic line-crossing.

At that point, you basically have an actual Minimal Viable Product that you can use to predict and think about real-world population dynamics, and a whole lot more besides.

Over the last two centuries people have built a lot of discoveries on top of that.

This Veritasium video is about one small (but awesome) bit of that:

It's a good thing not everyone thought Malthus was (completely) wrong!
Why this will be different from amazon reviews

People might think that this might be another system that might get gamed. If someone tries hard enough, they can play the long game, and game the system. The point is user karma and user history will should be enough to make it harder to game the system.

> It absolutely boggles my mind, especially when you can attribute a "this is how much these users spend" amount to it (an ecom store, for instance).

It also happens the other way around, they break it for odd-sized devices and then they go look at their numbers: "It's less than 1% of our revenue", WELL OF COURSE IT IS! It's broken!

GDPR "consent" popups are sometimes not usable on the first gen SE, because some of them position: absolute with a fixed size that's larger than the screen. Coincidentally, the "Accept all" button is always reachable, with the "Settings" or "Deny most" button conveniently located below the unreachable fold.
> Tiny screen first just makes the experience suck for everyone.

No it doesn’t. iOS’s UI toolkit has numerous tools to allow a design to adapt to screen size. There’s no reason an adjustment for a smaller screen would have any effect on a larger one.
Study: Stronger brain activity after writing on paper than on tablet, smartphone
It has been a while since I read Griffiths. If I recall I liked his style for E&M, but the quantum mechanics book was far too discursive, full of unnecessary jokes and cutesy phrases that muddled the discussion instead of aiding understanding. I remember being frequently confused about when Griffiths was making a physical argument versus a mathematical argument when deriving results.

My professor didn’t use Griffiths for the exercises, so I actually sold my copy back to the bookstore and bought a used copy of Shankar’s book: it is certainly drier, but I think it’s much more clear and precise.
> [Freedom of speech] rights shall find their limits in the provisions of general laws, in provisions for the protection of young persons, and in the right to personal honour.

You seem to imply that controversial written erotica shouldn’t be covered by freedom of speech protections, as it would be in the name of protecting children. Do you think censoring it would reduce the incidence of child abuse? If so, would banning videogames like GTA reduce the incidence of shootings or traffic rule violations?

> in my circles 'controversial sexuality' is not typical at all

It seems like the author of the comment you’re replying to might be in a unique position to gauge what controversial sexuality might be of interest to your circles even if yourself aren’t privy to it due to its controversial nature.
No, the big automakers had their chance to make a serious commitment to EV and they all failed to deliver. Now they’re playing catch up but Tesla is too big for them to drive out of the market

Except that every productivity study shows the exact opposite. For a week or two, you can spend more hours to produce more. On any longer timescale, the extra hours decrease your productivity/hour so much that the total output goes down. It's not just abusive on the part of the employer, but is also just plain stupid.

Definitely agree on overtime-exempt positions. The terminology is also really messed up. Normally, being exempt from something is a good thing. Here, "non-exempt" and "exempt" should be referred to as "paid for overtime" and "screwed for overtime".
Y’all are getting multiple test devices?
As a math major at UCD, I never saw Lee's essay, so I'm guessing it's from the past few years.

I did read Halmos's, though. It was helpful for me because I was starting from a very programming centric frame of mind and I was surprised at how "conversational" math writing was. Reading it helped me start to learn how to express ideas precisely and clearly without a strict code-like structure.
Sometimes I miss Byte Magazine - fortunately our University had it in the library - remember reading about some stuff I could never own (NeXt) or some really oddball approaches that never went anywhere.

Like the Lynn Rekursiv.
none of these reasons negate the cost of implementing layouts for _literally every device on the planet_. it's not practical, nor do the bean counters really care because the loss in revenue is very much less than the cost of implementation.
>And then you make it suck for everyone else.

In Russian, there is a saying: To a poor dancer, their own butt gets in the way...
> Mobile first often made the experience suck for desktops.

I’d have to argue that poor design work in general is the cause for this. “Mobile first” never meant to neglect the desktop experience - designers who do that are just poor designers to begin with.

>> Its just another treatment option, why demonise it?

My personal test for any proposed medical treatment is as follows: can any resoning given in support of the treatment be also used to support homeopathy? If so, then the proposed treatment is not necessary (or, equivalently, it can be replaced by homeopathic treatment).

Applying the test to your reasoning in support of ECT, I have the following:

"There are plenty of proponents of [homeopathy], and overall the balance of evidence for most guidelines suggests it is useful in some situations. From my experience working in [homeopathy] in the UK at least, [homeopaths] do just want to help treat patients, and use it as it seems to work in select situations. Its just another treatment option, why demonise it?"

That wouldn't convince me of the merits of homeopathic treatments, so it does not convince me of the merits of ECT.
> Most of the time it's not much extra effort to make it work properly

I strongly disagree - with smaller devices you might be talking about an entirely different layout, and maybe a separate set of assets. More time for designers, more time for developers, and a whole category of tests for QA to verify during regression tests. You're talking about widening the entire development pipeline.
At Duke University, it seemed that everyone on the campus network had access to most research available online.

When I left, it left a whole in my life of the wealth of human knowledge that should be available to everyone.

If there were only a few things on earth that should be unrestricted, it would be good research.

Today, in the public domain, there is a abhorrence and abundance of fake research, driven by misguided funding and attempts to excel in the academic community or perhaps to secure competitive employment in places in the world where ethics are lacking.

I don’t stand up for hackers typically, but I support this type of ethical hacking of the last bastion of our future with the hope that humanity will see the problem in its whole and have governments that can afford it to work out a deal to somehow at arm’s length fund reputable journals and fix the scourge before we waste untold amounts of money related to basing attempts at honest and good scientific study on bad research which has evolved due to the high cost of accessing good research and attaining visibility as research that is approved and submitted for review, with each revision obvious and available, and finally take this seriously.
You can’t use simulators?
Agree RE long term consistency. After 10 frames I suspect what I’m seeing from that point is a journey through the trained model internals. It doesn’t seem to reference back to the original image and very quickly changes to vastly different terrain.

An interesting argument but it doesn’t hold much water given the existing patronage of the arts from existing wealthy Chinese and Arab million/billionaires (to name just two very obvious examples).

What's the cutoff? If you have a single user who's running iOS 7 and you have to slow down feature development 50% to support them, do you have to do that out of respect?
Fair enough even if the end result is pretty much the same.

My understanding is that investment banking, which I made a very deliberate decision not to go into, throws associates at a whole lot of deal book production and proofreading that is only read by some other overworked associate.
EU warns AstraZeneca of export ban if bloc not supplied first
I think the chief complaint of the analysts is less about the total hours worked than the fact that much of the grinding is not productive.

From what I recall, the issue was that management knew analyst time was not valuable at all, and so it was common practice for them to leave the office at 7pm with an "i need this by tomorrow" order for client materials that were meant for speculative pitching rather than supporting a live deal.

Thus the analyst ends up getting holidays and weekends crushed repeatedly by projects that aren't really that meaningful and could have been spread out in a much more manageable way if the higher ups had given any consideration at all to what they were asking.
