I tend to agree with you.

I work in a hospital setting and I would say 90+% of the time the issue is diagnosed following a checklist for a particular problem. In the medical field we are taught to think of a 'Differential Diagnosis', or DDx for short, and sort by probability based on the history, age, sex, etc of the patient. Of course in the hospital setting you would also think of 'which of these issues can possibly kill my patient in the next 24hrs' and look for those as well.

So you go down your DDx list and if you run out of diagnoses, go back to the history/patient and think about it some more or consult with your peers.

As far as the "House MD" situations, i haven't run into any of those so i can't comment on that part.
On the positive side you can make a better informed decision if it is time to move on.
I dont think it should be illegal, companies exist to make as much profit as possible. I work to make as high of a salary as possible. My life us privileged, right now I make almost 5x what a local engineer would make. I also pay more than a local engineer’s salary in child support and get fuck-all in benefits for my americam taxes so I have to save more.

It’s just business.
Not how a panic works. Markets have too many positive feedback loops and they overshoot. And since bitcoin is actually backed by currency once it is all drained in a panic then it goes down the drain.
The terms of the patent grant matter. AV1 and WebP are free-to-use. H.265 has a fee per encoder and decoder.
Mitigating these is the whole point. We should be making it harder for companies to underpay people.
This is largely because managers don't understand just how in demand people are in tech. They think you are replaceable, until you quit, then they realize the market is insane and they have to increase their offer significantly.

At least here in Montreal software engineers are almost as high in demand as doctors.
Emotional state is probably an input to advertising/content engagement.

Algorithms maximizing engagement probably then grow to manipulate emotional state as a proxy variable. Even if they weren't aimed to.

From there, if an optimal emotional state happens to be "An impending sense of doom, terror of the pervasiveness of crime in my country" other "doom scrolling" etc, the algorithm could we'll be providing psychological harm.

(No idea if this actually applies to this doc, as it's language and aims may be technical)

Sadly the extended out of state family seems to like FB, and I try to follow science/math twitter.

As you get older, something in you clicks, that you realize that time spent being angry, or combative, reduces the time you have for enjoying things (family, life, etc.).

Your time on earth is a zero sum game. Maximize its utility, maximize your enjoyment, minimize your negativity (e.g. outrage of the day on social media). Your life will be better.
If a country is serious about reducing CO2 emissions, it should be serious about moving people from plain to train, if possible.

same. i switched jobs last june but now have offers 20-30% more.
But if the information comes out sooner or later, what's wrong with not disclosing it on the job page?
2% over what period? Did you see enough jobs to draw such a conclusion (2%, or 20‰, is pretty insignificant)
Unfortunately the government matrix for programmers underpays entry level positions. For example, here’s an open entry level programming job open right now: http://usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/599153100

But at least it’s out in the open, saves people time if they are expecting more then that.
The problem the article is trying to solve is already solved.

Sites like Hired let people bid for you with salaries first.

Places like Glassdoor post salary ranges.

And all the companies I've worked for have had internal salary ranges for a position which cannot be negotiated around. Just because they aren't public, doesn't mean they don't exist. I had a job offer that was lower than my current salary but they wouldn't match my current salary since it was out of their range. And I'm a straight, white male.
Because there are people for whom "playing" means implementing new devops tools, cluster managers, application servers, etc. In production.
Thank you for your kind words. Contributing and feedbacks are highly appreciated!
What an incredible negativity here in the comments. I’d like to provide a counter and say that I’ve been developing in Xcode for a number of years now, and I think it’s fine. Is it great? No. But it’s fine and I’m very productive. My projects are generally small, meaning not more than 100-150k lines, maybe that is what causes problems for other people? Anyway, I’ve had good, solid fun with SwiftUI in the most recent year or two. The Preview canvas didn’t always work, but I usually found a workaround.
I liked that one very much, tried posting it here but it seemed to have gotten no attention so I deleted it. Thought maybe such general essays are not a good fit for HN...
Do you think that, if you don't publish those salary bands, the employees in those different departments will somehow _not know_ that the other departments get paid more?

Because, trust me, as someone who's worked at multiple B2C companies with large customer service departments, everyone absolutely knows, which is why us in the engineering department were always happy to buy the rounds at cross-company happy hours.
I recently stopped ignoring recruiters but I instead respond to say "thanks for reaching out, I'm actively looking, but if I'm going to invest the time in learning more about the opportunity, can you tell me the salary range for the position? I need to know if I can afford to take the role"

Most of the time they give a range.

Even if I wasn't looking, I'd have picked up valuable market insight.
I've run such phishing campaigns where the link:

1. (Windows specific) Opens up a Windows file share, which causes the person to authenticate to the file share, which through PtH/Responder results in their enterprise credentials being stolen.

2. Exploited a XSS or CSRF attack on an internal/management endpoint. Which in turns allows a pivot from external to internal access.

3. Steals a web session, cached password or authentication token, resulting in compromise of employee credentials to be used elsewhere (e.g. reused to access enterprise VPN).

These are just some not-a-browser-0day examples of a single click being game-over dangerous.
Yeah, none of the NYC airports are particularly convenient. And I'm actually usually in midtown, often on the west side, so I can just walk from Penn to my hotel. (And Penn may actually stop being its dingy self one of these days.)
I wonder if transparent salaries across the board could help shift that? Companies may be then forced to offer competitive raises to retain their current workforce.

Or perhaps they’ll just find a way around it by using other forms of compensation that skirt transparency laws in spirit.
Very nice! I did this, but it is all on LinkedIn, and unfortunately for me, some sites are no longer in existence due to the owner not paying their domain fees or hosting costs. I actually tried to at least screenshot most of them. Clever idea for a simple portfolio and love the domain.. "museum" hehe.
Okay, and what was the market cap then? The valuation wasn't contingent on FSD happening (I do agree with your general point, my understanding of fraud is that making those claims knowing they were impossible is fraud, so the question is whether he knew...it also isn't just a moral thing for human to do regardless of legality, he shouldn't have said it if he didn't know). I mean, no-one took those claims seriously. But when the market cap is $1tn then it is somewhat obvious that this isn't a "car business" anymore...it wasn't possible to justify that even if they made all the cars in the world.
I don't know about orbiter but FlightGear uses JSBsim for flight dynamics modeling which can be very accurate and was even used at NASA.
You are correct that as space is not the primary use case for FG the shuttle developers had to start from scratch on many things.
I doubt your first assumption will be the one that happens, even if this ruling does come out favorably for customers.

There's an easy out for Apple and others: you give the customer the ability to access what they paid for independently of the seller. There's no requirement for Apple to be involved any more once Apple has delivered the file in way that can be opened independent of Apple.
The MPAA vs RIAA is sort of an apples vs oranges comparison though. Audio is much easier to compress, and MP3 made it very easy to make files small enough to download via dial-up modems. Video had years to go before quality was good enough at small enough sizes to make them a viable thing on the internet. Because of that, the MPAA got to watch/learn from mistakes that RIAA made in trying to protect its kingdom. Rather than fight the digital inevitablity like RIAA did, MPAA allowed the digital with DRM. This allowed for the "honest" public to have legal viable methods of watching the content. The useless tact RIAA fought caused its own demise in the fight making an entire generation of kids think that music should be free because that's all they knew. Their allowing of DRM free FLAC files was a white flag. MPAA is in a much stronger position to allow that to happen.
Giuliani is an incredibly unreliable source, a known and prolific liar. Without the ability to interogate the evidence directly anything that comes from him is as reliable as he is.

That is literally how human communications networks work reliability of speaker is a pre filter for analysis of evidence. Do you specifically suggest that Giuliani is a reliable source?

If he's not anything whose exclusive providence is established through him is contaminated. Anything anymore including video is trivial to fake if you have resources and the laptop which whose very existence seems so unlikely turned up with maximal political convenience.

In brief we are supposed to believe Hunter filled a laptop with incriminating evidence, then dropped it off at a trumptards computer repair shop in a state he doesn't live in and forgot about. We are also to believe that he happily gave him the login to unlock the encrypted drive full of potentially election killing data that just happened to come into ghoulianis hands.

It's amazing that you believe this shit without hard evidence.
The problem is that you have to get to the station and then from the other station to your destination. This really only works in 2 situations. Dense urban centers where it makes sense to have stations at walking distance intervals, or cases where the city is so hard to drive/park in that it makes sense to drive to the rail station and then catch a train in (e.g. NY). Other than that it is fairly impossible to match the convenience of a car.
Is it "directly assigned" to you in whois? I got mine around 1993.
> I look forward to the factory in Texas coming out to solve that because Fremont is not going to cut it.

How does a factory being in Texas change build quality in a Tesla run environment? (Legitimate question, I know very little about this)
In fact, in enterprise sales, the product price is usually hidden behind a phone call step, for precisely the reason that it enables customer segmentation and price discrimination. People complain about this, but it’s not going away, as it materially benefits the business.
Is level 5 even possible? "All weather conditions"? that's a very broad range.

It is worth noting that in 2012, Facebook conducted psychological experiments on its users. So they have that capability. And god knows who else.

They did a lot of static testing of both the SRBs, external tank, and main engines before the first flight. This NASA slide deck gives a pretty good overview:

After all of that they were probably confident enough in the individual pieces working well individually that they were also decently confident that they'd all work well together during the STS-1. Although STS-1 through STS4 had ejection seats installed for both crew members, just in case. Perhaps the thinking was that if anything was going to go wrong, it would happen below 80k feet where the ejection seats would still be usable.
You could terminate the account and refund the purchases in full, that way you can still get the user removed from your platform. Or, better yet, stop the unification of unrelated accounts and have a user be able to purchase and watch movies without necessarily having access to iCloud and such.

There's plenty of ways to deal with this problem, but most of those cut into sales figures, such as dropping the pretense that the stuff you rent is related to owning things at all (i.e. not using the word "buy" anymore).
it is a particular part of the Python 3 standard library. it is one extra line of code to automatically memoize a recursive function.

you just do:

from functools import lru_cache

@lru_cache(maxsize=None)
def brute_recursive_func(x):
...

And you're good to go.
Not the OP but one option that HTTP/2 makes possible is to pipeline the requests.

GET /invoices?invoicesQuery=criteria

This doesn't take longer than graphql (because you're not waiting for the first response) and is a lot simpler.
Was also researching a sleeper car for a family of 3 before the Pandemic. I've only been on a train once before besides work trips in DC (use the metro a bit), so it's a little out of the blue for me, but perhaps it could be making a comeback
For me, true programming joy comes from not having to look at docs. To be able to just write code for long periods of time, without running into something weird happening with a library or tool is the "zen" feeling that I hear lots of others talk about.

At work, and in this domain:

> I wanted to learn some new frameworks and concepts to help with that, and I decided to make my personal projects a bit more "professional". Use continuous integration, focus more on web stuff, build and automatically deploy containers and so on.

It's all docs. It's all "This thing was supposed to happen but ____ didn't do what I expected". Fighting with tools and configuration and triggers and stuff like that is the opposite of zen.
Why should it be illegal? Framed from the other side, people are willing to take less salary if they live somewhere more affordable. My mortgage is half the price of my last apartment in the Bay Area, and while I won't take half the salary of my Bay Area job I'm not going to cry over the 15% difference between what companies are paying for locals out there and working remote out here (which is competitive with local companies). In some ways it makes me more marketable as a candidate.

There are many things about employment that should be illegal (at-will employment, enforceable non competes, ownership over IP, etc) but taking away the ability of either company or candidate to determine their compensation is a terrible idea that makes outcomes worse. It's as bad as banded salaries or any other kind of standardized pay scales.
Apple is big enough that if they told the MPAA "unless you let us distribute your movies DRM-free, we're not selling them to consumers", the MPAA would probably budge.

This is just always going to be the problem. It's ok for some mild entertainment but it's not viable for regular travel. A flight to Montreal is like an hour and probably half the price.
It's also a very derogatory word in Ireland for a member of the travelling/gypsy community.

There were some shortages in Belgium that I didn’t expect. Like frozen broccoli missing everywhere for a week or two. Flour went missing for a month, probably due to panic buying. But otherwise, I enjoy fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts which are definitely imported from somewhere.
For the most part, yes. It is possible to do runtime detection of these features and have compatibility paths, but that further adds to the burden of what's required of tooling and infrastructure. Depending on exactly what you're doing, it's probably best to assume recent drivers. For this type of application (a renderer for a creative app on desktop), I think it's a perfectly reasonable requirement.
With level 2 driver assistance, you must always have your hands on the wheel and be in control of the vehicle, paying attention 100% of the time. Autonomous implies that the car is acting without human involvement.

When you think about it, level 5 is the only level that should be described as autonomous. For all we know, level 5 could require strong AI to achieve. My guess is that the gap between levels 4 and 5 is much wider than most of us are assuming.
Right, a protobuf message that consists of a single 100MB string will be "decoded" dramatically faster than 2GB/s, because you only need visit the tag and the length and store the address and length, aliasing the input.

It's really quite impossible to discuss data encoding performance outside of a given schema.
Berlin tried to "regulate" rent prices and failed spectacularly. Created 2 markets and prices shot through the roof (Source: I live in Berlin)

Eu tried to regulate advertising and it failed spectaculary, leading to nothing but extra annoying pop-ups
(Source: Worked for an online advertising company, I know how much we tracked despite those annoying popup banners)

EU doesn't understand that regulation != solving the problem. When the actual law is written down, there will be enough corporate sponsored loopholes that will simply make it harder for startups and new upstarts to displace the incumbents.
Has anyone noticed that almost all mammals have the same "disgust" expression with the wrinkled snout?
The EU is proposing to regulate the application of certain techniques to certain fields.

There is too much vagueness in those definitions but the authors should pause to think about what else is regulating the ethics of using ML or even just basic statistical modeling to public service.

What if your car insurance was more expensive because your last name was associated with an ethnicity that happens to have more car accidents than others?

What if your sentence at a public trial was determined by an algorithm that did the same?

Those things we wouldn't consider as fair, and we know that the blind application of ML to socially meaningful tasks leads exactly to these kinds of problems. I'm not sure what the author's better solution is, they just seen to be flailing about...

If the ML community can't get its shit together and address fairness and ethics generally as diligently as they do precision and recall, I'm afraid that poorly-written regulations will be coming their way with a ton of popular support behind them. Misguided as experts might think that those regulations are, they're the ones playing with fire in the first place.
Functionally, the vast majority of the Amtrak network is already the rail equivalent of Essential Air Service (EAS, gov-subsidized passenger air routes). Including government subsidies on a large percentage on routes. The NEC is the only Amtrak route that makes any meaningful amount of profit.

Wow. Is there any resource on what the tiers correspond to in terms of title and experience?
Yea, on the margin, they will be less likely to know the exact magnitude of the difference and (probably more importantly) less likely to be reminded (IE every time leadership asks “Refer your friends!” and they click the engineering job postings, they will be reminded when they see the salary range).

Yes, that is what I'm thinking.

I recently changed my mind on this and used to believe that digital goods should be treated identical to physical ones.

Fundamentally the nature of things make them different and we should recognize this when discussing what rights which party should get.

Whether the two facts I stated make sense is certainly up for debate, but I don't believe we can move forward insisting that rules imposed by the physicalness ( is this a word) are the same as rules imposed by human society.

The goal must be to find a set of rules that is fair to all participants and I'm certain this it is possible to do this.
>Is part of the lesson here that software engineers (or maybe just typical HN readers) are bad at negotiating?

How do you know you are a good negotiator if everything is hidden? Is there a correlation between self proclaimed 1-x devs and self proclaimed great negotiators?

That depends on the type of threat being protected against. If the threat is a mass exfiltration of passwords, this method will probably work fine since nobody will bother trying to figure out that one weird trick to get this one person's passwords when there are a few million others to work on. If the threat is someone targeting you specifically, then you might need a better system.
All five of them may feel cheated. The best compensated one may consider themselves as more than that much better than the other four.

But, abstractly, maybe four of them are getting cheated. Shouldn't they be told?
Isn’t the development community sort of there? I mean, most things are still run on PHP, and honestly, I recently saw an open source “forms for the public sector” thing build in Drupal, and now I’m wondering if we’ll ever need another custom programmed form for our web facing applications.

Yet if I go back to my non-management dev friends and talk about this, they are all like “eeeew, what about X and Y” and I’m just like, but neither the citizens or my IT operations staff gives two shits about any of that.

I’m not going to say what is right technically, because I’m not qualified to do that, but I do know what will happen as it’s my decision, and we’ll be slowly moving all our customs forms to a PHP CMS system and we’re just going to shoot the docket container it comes in directly out into our internal Azure cloud with public access through our national identity system (NemID). My developers aren’t going to be out of work either, but instead of making the same form with small differences 9000 times, they will be building Drupal modules with actual challenges.
I think you mean 240/4, which is the former "class E" space.
