I think this entire mindset is wrong. I have no wealth nor power, I'm just a bloke trying to get by and struggling in life just like everyone else, not always equally successful I might add.

Groups of people are comprised individuals, with large degrees of variation in any group. Using averages can be important for some things, but context and nuance matters a lot. Not every white person "holds most of the wealth and power". Most don't have any. Perhaps it increases you chances of acquiring wealth or power, but that's a completely different thing than supposedly holding it just because of some "membership" based on ethnicity, religion, sex, or anything else.

This is such a narrow view of the world; undoubtedly it makes sense if you're raised in some urban middle-class family, but a lot of white people's experiences are vastly different from that, and not only are these experiences ignored, they're met with strong hostility. Why do you think rural US, often impoverished white communities who certainly didn't get the best deal, are so hostile to all this kind of stuff? Hell, even "racism" (for lack of a better term) is a thing, "three nippled inbred cousin fucker from Alabama" and all that.

As someone who's used flight simulator games, I have definitely left the computer while cruising, forgotten about the flight, and come back to find myself in the middle of nowhere.

Also the smoking gun simulator session was in a different aircraft to MH370 and with a significantly different initial route.
Maybe you are already cognitive impaired which is why you tend towards multitasking, because your brain is saying focusing too long hurts it. It’s a subconscious move.

Risk management is a personal thing. If you are lax about it, expect lax outcomes - which explains a proportion of the 10x worse figure, but not all of it clearly. Some risks you can't mitigate much and humans with a metal shield around them are predictably better off.

Regards kids... I gave up my bike for $$$ to move cities. Upon first kid birth, I bought another bike off a guy who was giving it up because his wife was having a kid.

My friends joked that it was clear his wife loved him more than mine loved me. :-P

But I missed riding, my wife has no issue and the logistics justified the cost. I am still wanting to add ride cameras though.

Enjoy! Best wishes for safe riding.
While it is worth noting cases of premature optimism, does anyone seriously think a world of innovators can operate without that?

Nikola Tesla might be the grandfather of this unavoidable tendency.

Elon Musk is his modern protege in more than one way.

And we have plenty of people, probably many more, saying "XYZ can never be done!" and being disproved over and over.

Is there a way to repeal the bell curve on predictions? Make no predictions? I don't know what the fuss is about here. :)

My hard prediction for 30 years: Machines will pass human general intelligence by 2040. They will never "match" us as they will exceed our abilities in different areas at wildly different times.

Another less solid prediction: We will be outstripped mentally by machines before we can cheaply replace our human bodies artificially. My perception is that material science and engineering happen at a much slower rate than software.
Why is the whole tech world talking about Basecamp? It is literally a shop smaller than a local grocery store. Pretty sure you can find there way more serious labor rights violations.
The author starts eith comparing a $200 buck charge that AWS support roller back to somebody losing or imagining to lose $100K in trading. Wild juxtapositions there.

After seeing how recklessly people use AWS when it's not their own wallet on the line, I'll wager to say that this 20-year old learned a valuablr lesson.
Yeah I'm not an expert in this stuff but I am an extra-class radio amateur and this sets off literally all my intellectual alarm bells. I'll take one for the team and go read the report but I agree that it seems like pure unadulterated bullshit.

The ionosphere is a very violent place for an HF radio signal. These radio waves do not travel in a straight line. They don't even come out of the ionosphere with the same polarization as they go in with. I cannot fathom how you could glean anything from a WSPR signal's RSSI.

edit 1: I'm just gonna live-text my thoughts on this as I go through it into this comment. First off, the software that this person developed, GDTAAA, doesn't seem to be available for viewing. Shame because I'd love to see it, but I guess I'll have to go by the paper.

edit 2: "An algorithm is run that calculates an expected received SNR based on the transmitter power and the short path distance" W O W, okay, not even taking into account an estimated noise for the receiving station. Nice. It also doesn't seem to take into account time of day, any of the different propagation modes like gray line, etc, or the wavelength of the transmission. Big yikes.

edit 3: WSPR signals have a transmission length of about two minutes. A 777 travels about 20 miles during that amount of time, and you're trying to use the average SNR of the entire 2 minute period to estimate whether an aircraft crossed the path of the signal. Even if the WSPR signal occupied the entire 20 mile-wide swath of sky that the aircraft was in during the WSPR transmission, the aircraft can only block about 0.2% of that swath at an given moment on account of it being absolutely tiny.
This is the reason I closed my aws account and gave up on learning their services. Intentional cost obfuscation means I have no interest in doing business with someone

Might as well boot from the linux drive and add a grub entry for windows.
Probably. The historical origins are beyond me, but anecdotally I thought the 1994 movie PCU must've dealt a mortal blow to the political correctness movement because I stopped hearing about it and no one around me treated it as a real thing. In hindsight, the resurgence of mom jeans in the last decade should have planted seeds of worry in many a gen-xer.

Sorry, it was a bit of a joke: Y2K was Year 2000 and my made up name S500K was Stockprice over around $500K. I suppose I should have written "famous".

Those of us over a certain age remember how much work went into patching the Y2K issue, and how it changed the software industry, and yet was pooh-poohed by the general press in the final year of the last millennium (2000) when nothing material went wrong.

My point was the article was a little bit alarmist, which it almost had to be to spin out a brief article about what is otherwise an amusing piece of trivia that would fit in a sentence: "Berkshire Hathaway's price has almost reached the point where it can't be represented in NASDAQ's computer, but they are patching their code and expect everything to work fine by the time the stock reaches that point, if ever."

I'd be glad to chuckle in passing upon encountering that sentence, but was annoyed at the padding used by the poor reporter to make an article of it. Given the state of the world it's hard to blame anyone (reporter, editor, Bloomberg management...) for this phenomenon.
I believe Shaowei Lin and some others are working on the problem of “machine understanding” by connecting type theories and traditional machine learning.

> Shaming people of any kind is counter productive.

I wholeheartedly disagree. Anytime that a behavior X is considered undesirable by society, the people who engage in behavior X feel ashamed about it and there is a stigma surrounding people who do X. Any culture that is not completely neutral on all matters shames people. Such a culture could never exist in the real world because it would be very inhuman.

Whether or not fat people are shamed by others is really a question of how people collectively feel about fatness. I say that it's a good thing that people collectively assign negative value to fatness since it is a sign of general unfitness and ill health.

I'm not saying that we all should go out and bully fat people, but I do think that this "normalize fatness" movement is very misguided.

If what you believe is that positive reinforcement (Giving the dog a treat when they do a trick) is good and negative reinforcement (Beating the dog when they do something wrong) is bad, then why not support "normalizing fitness" rather than "normalizing fatness?"
As a child that was my favourite book. I am an electrical engineer now. I only just gifted my copy to a friend with a slightly autistic child.
agreed especially when compared to say Heroku or Digital ocean. I see many new comers struggling to deploy a small website. It's overwhelming. I understand that Heroku exists for such users and they are using AWS under the hood, but is there any service which takes AWS cloud APIs and simplifies it with a leaner UX?
I'll bite...

Because, if you are a company that uses AWS at scale (deploying literally thousands of resources at a time), you care more about meeting demand and getting resources to spec, than you do about the cost of an individual elastic IP...

The price of each individual resource isn't something that you want to see on every screen you touch. It literally clutters the console with information that you couldn't give a shit about when your company is making millions (or billions) on the services you provide. You care more about your service's reliability/scalability/uptime/etc than anything else. This is priority numero uno.

If and when cost analysis becomes priority, you look to see where you may be overprovisioning resources - hence, the billing console.

But for the larger players on AWS (the multi-billion dollar ones that AWS cares more about making happy than you or I), an extra $100k in AWS expenses in a year isn't a worry, it's a write-off.
Same way US law does. Absent specific laws, to have a claim you have to demonstrate tangible harm in some way. Burden of proof is on the claimant. And in 95% of the cases HN complains about, its impossible to find harm.
The key to parenting is knowledge. If you don't know what they're doing you can't keep them safe or fix things. But if you punish them for being truthful you won't know what's going on. It's all about trust. So when my son spent $1000 using my credit card instead of shouting at him I told him it would be fine and I sorted it out. Getting really angry with him wouldn't have taught him anything useful. Meanwhile he now knows that even if he does dumb stuff I won't throw him under a bus

Until I learned the word bollard I just didn't have a name for them that I know of, probably called them posts if I ever referred to them directly. I knew what they were for, separating/stopping cars, just didn't know what they were called.

I definitely recognized the snapchat logo when I saw it - but I haven't used that app in years and it totally escaped me when I was trying to recall it on the spot. My husband also ended up drawing a bad imitation of the instagram logo (another app we don't really use) in it's place, which I thought was funny.

I still can't figure out what the heck I thought the spotify logo was. I knew it was 3 of something.
no it's not a target, it's an UI toolkit that enables multi targets (including Electron) app development. More like React.

Spot on. Firing someone for a mistake is incredibly short-sighted. After the mistake has been rectified, you can be sure there is going to be one employee in the organisation who will never ever let that problem happen again. Why do you want to get rid of that person?

Of course, if the person is making the same mistake again, then that may be reason for concern, but that's a completely different discussion

I can understand being hurt and more about the funny names list.

But I think things have gotten out of hand when at an all hands meeting people are debating topics like:

"we live in a white supremacist culture"

Or demands from one employee to another at all hands meetings to denounce white supremacy.

I doubt many companies could handle that right... and I'm sure many people would come away more hurt.
Azure definitely has subscription types that have payment limits. I have one subscription that has some credits on it, and if I go over the limits all services are suspended (i.e. compute, storage, etc) and I can't do anything unless I add more money or wait until the next period starts and the new credits kick in.

Not all Azure subscriptions types are like this though.

I find it odd that the article doesn't mention the High-Tech Employee Antitrust Litigation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Tech_Employee_Antitrust_L...

> High-Tech Employee Antitrust Litigation is a 2010 United States Department of Justice (DOJ) antitrust action and a 2013 civil class action against several Silicon Valley companies for alleged "no cold call" agreements which restrained the recruitment of high-tech employees.

> The defendants are Adobe, Apple Inc., Google, Intel, Intuit, Pixar, Lucasfilm and eBay, all high-technology companies with a principal place of business in the San Francisco–Silicon Valley area of California.

> The civil class action was filed by five plaintiffs, one of whom has died; it accused the tech companies of collusion between 2005 and 2009 to refrain from recruiting each other's employees.

You think the base got there all on their own, miraculously? The had activists that saw this as a way to push their agenda, and politicians that went along for the ride and reinforced it.

The base is multiple tens of millions of people spread across the entire United States and in many socioeconomic strata. The only time anything gets as widespread acceptance by even a portion of the base like the mask thing is because a narrative was being pushed that most of the base was exposed to. That used to be a hard thing to do (easier if you could rely on a large religious bloc to see it one way), and now it's a frighteningly easy thing to do. That's the point.
Just because someone isn't skilled at the traditional, mainstream Western methods of conveying empathy doesn't mean they actually lack empathy. This ought to be obvious when considering persons on the extreme end of the autism spectrum, but as time goes on we're learning that the spectrum might subtly encompass far more people than we ever realised.

(With no small amount of irony, I find that many "normal" people have a very hard time truly empathising with the ways in which people on the spectrum are different.)

But it doesn't even have to be something as categorisable as the spectrum. Just as people don't choose their genetics or initial brain chemistry, it's equally true to say that nobody chose their genetic parents or their upbringing. People are the product of their environment; we would do well to keep this in mind even when we (rightly) castigate people for their misdeeds.

"In fact, the FBI said it found nothing incriminating in the computer simulations, and certainly nothing that came close to the erratic course that the flight first followed."

That seems pretty persuasive. The Atlantic article guesses that the simulation was meant "to leave a bread-crumb trail to say goodbye." which seems laughably weak.
And even when you spin things up knowing their cost you may not be accounting for data transfer, storage, mismatched reserved instance purchases, unused EIPs, and so many more "hidden costs"

I’m lucky to work for a small company where I am treated with respect by every one of my coworkers and my bosses. They are curious, thoughtful, and kind people, and I don’t need a window into their minds to know they’re not thinking “I could find a better job if I pretended to be trans.” Believe it or not, people are sometimes just kind because it’s the right thing to do.

> I rode it once, and besides it being a particularly rowdy flight, I found it to be a very strict and safe airline

I don’t think you can make that judgement rising on an aircraft. What is the pilot training and certification. What is their maintenance schedule? How old are their aircraft? What near misses have they had? Those are the types of questions that have more to do with safety than the experience of riding on a flight.

> (Or maybe it also shows that being a fully-remote company can have downsides, such as coworkers not socialising enough and therefore not trusting each other? Who knows. DHH certainly has championed the "remote work for everyone" approach countless times.)

I’d bet remote work was a strong contributor. People don’t form the same humanizing attachments remotely as they do in person, in my experience.

It is precisely the same as black. The mental gymnastics on display here are astonishing.
I’m not sure if this helps, but if the battery is charged to 100% and then stored for a long period of time, it will not last long at all. 2 years, tops.

As an engineering approximation that we use in the industry, each 5% undercharged may very well double the cycle life of your battery. 80% is usually the good point of compromise for most consumer electronics.

My XPS has options for smart battery charging/storage so you might try playing around with the optional battery optimisation apps to see if one of those charging modes is enabled. Chances are it might be “fake charging to 100” but intentionally limiting to 80 based on your usage pattern.
> You think the base got there all on their own,

Yes, more or less? I can't think of a single right-wing activist or politician who was truly rabble-rousing for the cause.
If you don’t mind sharing, what was it about the experience that made it unpleasant?
Excellent points, I completely agree.

As long as social skills matter, they will be the more serious barrier over things like exercise, grooming/hygiene and other self improvement fixes because those can be improved on your own while practicing social skills takes willing partners. If it's bad enough, you're in a chicken and egg situation. There are ways out of it like rejection challenges but that's really painful.

"we should be kinder and more sensitive to socially awkward men when they try to make friends, or ask women on dates" Again I agree, this would help so much. But I get that many women are not in a place where they feel comfortable doing this yet. "I do think people should make an effort to reject socially awkward folks without traumatizing them!" Saying no is a skill that many of us are very bad at, especially doing it gently and unambiguously.

Social skills is one area where society can help, by encouraging more in-person role models, mentors, and conversation partners (men AND women) to give young people these skills. Maybe better fictional role models too.

Thanks for sharing your insights.
